regional headquarters Wednesday II was arranged by Milton regional council member Gus Milton s two other regional representatives seemed perplexed at the ceremony which featured a choir a piper a drummer and no less a person than Major General Chris Votes CBE DSO ED CD Milton s Bill Johnson an ex British Commando and a survivor of the 1M2 raid on Dieppe said he thought the place for Remembrance Day cere monies was at the municipal level We all go to the ones in our community I went to Milton Acton this year I don t know I ve been all through this thing over and over In my mind for the past 30 years he said Milton Mayor Don Gordon who served with the Navy for five years agreed with Mr Johnson saying the place for Remembrance Day on Remembrance Day But what I want to know Is where was Gus after the ceremony our me eting i end until 30 p m he never came back Mr Goutouskl an ex Army rifleman acted as the emcee for meeting and an impress ive ceremony it was Wintario grants A choir composed of children from Pine Grove Public School in Oakville sang a hymn and later with instruments did a folk song Genera Vokes spoke briefly to tell the assembled members of Region that politicians start the wars never the military He said It was the politicians who had allowed Canada armed forces to drop down to little more than a large police force Mr told this newspaper the reason he t come back to the meeting was because of the emotional effect the service had on him It just means a lot to me Whcveverlhearthat bugle blow I think of all Mr Goutouski said that if anyone was upset about the service and that was held 10 days after Remembrance Day they should remember that those councillors price of admission into that chamber was paid for by all the young men who died He said the Idea for holding a ceremony came on Nov at a regular regional council meeting Mr Goutouski said he asked Regional Chair man Jack if anything was to be done Mr Raflls then asked Mr Goutouski

rate schedule as by regional council on Oct Mr Louden said all things considered the per cent discount which takes into effect some witcr is not automatically returned to the sewer system w be more fair than JO per cent discount Burlington Councillor Waller feels should he imposed Basically the sewer rale will be assessed on the amount of water coming into a residence or industry This amount is tabulated by water meter Mr Louden said in returns almost per cent of its water back into the sewer system however fill swimming pools water lawns and wash cars This water rarely gets back into the sewers Due to the fact a fun sewer meter has not yet been built or may never be built which can accurately measure effluent Mr Louden proposed the 15 percent discount to cover that portion of the water which is not returned Sewer meters are for homes but in industry this can result in by gumming up or destroying the mechanism which would mean constant re- calibration Regionalism is proving
