distnct is still in the old federal riding of Halton for the May 22 federal election with candidates most voters are familiar with although other parts of Halton Hills have been moved to the new Brampton Georgetown riding and Erin joins Wellington Dufferm Simcoe after a stmt in that goes back to the days of MP Rud Whiting Electoral boundaries are getting more and more confusing crossing over municipal region and county lines and so long as populations change well likely see more in the future Federally Halton Hills is now split into two ridings while provwcialiy it is in one One day we would hope to see the map makers all get together and leave Halton Hills with the same municipal provincial and federal electoral boundaries It would do away with all the confusion people experience now and consolidate community of interest The thing to remember is that Acton is in the old Halton riding with Oakville and Milton for federal elections Candidates are Liberal Frank the incumbent Otto Jelinek the PC challenger and Doug Black for the NDP Mr is presently MP for High Park Humber Valley Georgetown voters meanwhile will be voting in the new Bramp tonGeorgetown riding with John the PC banner carrier Ross Milne now a sitting MP for the Liberals and Dave for the NDP All three are from Brampton Burlington that other part of Halton has a riding of its own under redistribution with PC Bill Kempling Liberal Tom Sutherland and candidate Dan in the running Remember when Halton used to be one riding for both federal and provincial elections Those days are gone with an amazing plethora of electoral boundaries succeeding them Recognition is deserved The Chamber of Commerce selection of Rev Andrew as Actons Citizen of the Year breaks a long tradition of naming a resident to the since Mr just recently transferred to a Presbyterian congregation at Perth However it is recognition well deserved We have listed Andy cKenzies attributes these columns before and dont feel constrained to do so again only to echo the Chambers selection as appropriate He is the first man of the cloth to receive recognition from the Chamber an oversight which has now been corrected It is a difficult choice for the Chamber each year to select an outstanding citizen from the nominations sent in by ballot There are many who could well fill the requisites of an out standing citizen but the choice must be limited to one except in cases where an entire organization is selected for the honor Mr spent over years in Acton During that time he made friends and acquain tances of all faiths Perhaps we should not only endow him with the Citizen of the Year mantle but with a key to the town in the hope he will visit us often and remem ber us in his prayers In any event congratulations and good wishes to the first citizen of Perth to become Actons Citizen of the Year Spring a resurrection Spring is a beautiful time of the year because It awakens in us a spirit of anticipation of all the beautiful things that will ac company spring long days warm sun green grass golf swimming people wearing shorts the open road vacations To the person of faith re surrection surrounds us especially in the Spring buds bursting into leaves on the trees green grass growing along the roadside hiding discarded pop cans small shrubs coming to life once again Death is there but life pre dominates The snow passes away but a new warmer beauty takes its place Ice melts away and a new gurgling sound of moving water seems to shout out life The disappear but a new soft warm spring rain takes Sally many to Ihc Georgetown Christian Splinter Henry Krots Jem rrj I School Seventh I Inc evening when Ihe Drama Burins i Krnl presented the Fine performances all invoked Helena prompter helped make the evening a success Cost members were Opinion Canadians can be proud its place We experience resurrection in our daily life too Every morning when we awaken it is a sort of re surrection A person who deeply believes in resurrection shows it in the way he faces adversity He isnt completely crushed by the death of someone close to him because he knows death is not the end Sickness is accepted as part of the little dyingrising events of life which prepare a person for his final exodus When he finally faces death he does so with faith confident he is passing through the mystery of death to life Belief resurrection adds a new dimension to daily living Spring becomes more than the Vernal Equinox it becomes the bursting of resurrection all around us by Helen Murray Canadian recording artist Burton Cum mings summed it all up last month at the annual Juno awards night Canadian musician no longer have to leave the country to gain world wide recognition And it is about lime The country has ready lost
