Office Goodbye friends We are particularly happy thai Hartley Coles is resuming the position of editor of The Acton Free Press It was from him that I took the job about five years ago He has an excellent staff working with him Many of you know them Helen Murray Erie Elstone and Robin with Bill Cook as ad vertising manager Don McDonald takes over as publisher replacing Dave Dills Perhaps not many people have the pleasure of working with and for their friends as we have done In the beginning I started work at the Free Press fresh out of university andfreshout of money in boarding with my aunt Fern Brown in the house where we now live The plant was of course in the reconstructed building on Mill now called Acton Mews The Old Free Press Building My parents Roy and Marguerite Stewart Brown of Toronto were both born here so I knew the town well Having proved that I could write and spell I married David and be came incorporated in the family business salary was 17 a week when I started and then as now it included night and weekend tasks The staff was small so my jobs included helping Ev Braida in the office and with the proofreading and finally mastering the machine which folded each copy of The Acton Free Press singly Bob had to run extra copies for many weeks while I struggled with that dratted machine I also delighted in trying to operate the big hulk of a press which printed the papers in those days and managed it too but I didn have the strength to push the brake so happily abandoned that one to Hartley Coles Duval or Dave There were few of us there then all people who liked each other And so over all the years that great bonus of friendships has remained Good times fun challenges In the course of reporting the news we also always felt we were among people we liked We wanted to do a good job for you It was tiring but fun to go to those parades kids groups Christmas concerts 90th birthdays all the things that make a small town paper what it is And there were fires and accidents too that made for upsetting hours How worked up we have become over issues over all those years In particular we will never forget regional government with its kind changes for Acton the loss of the post office old school and station and the defacing of the town hall with the addition of a second storey to the fire hall Maybe we will be even more vocal when we don feel the ligation of trying to be fair Community weeklies are a marvellous creation the one place where people seem to get together During the interchange that provides each week issue we have encountered the best of operation from staff advertisers politicians representatives of active groups the people who con tribute news from the district and all our readers Special thanks to publisher Dave two floors down and our daughter for their constant encouragement and interest There have been so many changes over the years and so manymorearecoming Publishing and printing are both thriving in dustnes and there s a marvellous future ahead Well be seeing you I wont have a camera bag slung over my shoulder and I wont have a pencil and scrap of paper stuffed in my pocket We have more time to chat Kay Dills Protect your car Winters coming Monday proved it And not far behind are the salt and the sand on the roads You can do something about it by waxing your car Get some good exercise this weekend and help baffle winter too Talk to any of the factory representatives and theyll strongly recommend regular waxing of the car Though paint Pedestrians can help itself will protect the metal for a considerable length of time there are many elementschemicals air pollution caustic particles dust grime sun squashed bugs detergents and of course salt which work against this protection Theres really nothing like wax to protect your car probably the largest single in vestment your family has next to the house There are many people in On who do not carry a drivers licence but no doubt would still like the opportunity of donating their bodies to science or organs for transplant Licenses have a place where driver may indicate their desires Pedestrians as well as drivers may help others Others may obtain a special form and a card for wallet or purse by writing the Ontario chief coroner H B Cotnam at 26 Grenville St Toronto Of this and that New mayor Pete Pomeroy is planning to be in the Acton town office some times to be available for local concerns good news The travelling minister had finished his sermon in a prairie town and asked Now how many of you would like to go to heaven
