Lome ex plains Were past tho age of passive activity we must fight to win we sec Jesus as a fighter He was not a passive man we sec him as a sold the apostle Paul said put on the armour of faith In

to as people temporarily homeless and without possessions On any given night in Acton youll see Lieutenant Pritchett dressed in his battle dress walking through the hotels being there in case Im needed Our greatest weapon against evil is love allyouneedlsiovc Lieutenants Lome and Barbara of the Salvation Army and their da tighter Lack of support for kill region petition The citizens of Acton and area have been a big appointment to a man who Is trying to kill regional government and he plans to visit here this month to blast residents for their apathy Mike a resident is collecting letters of protest and petition signatures against regional government and once he has hell go to Premier William Davis and demand all regional governments In the province be dis mantled Hes even threatened legal action a class action suit if the province refuses o act on his de mands thought hed get lots of support from Acton and North Nassagaweya residents an Senior apts Continued from page this is normal with these projects and she expects there will be a rush of seniors wanting to be added to the list once the building is opened Both Ms Gabriel and offered assurances for seniors worried about leases and rents where they now live She said people can keep living where they are now on a month to month basis and dont have to sign leases Wont face double rents People wont face double rents either If a person has to remain where they are living now past their move in date their apartment on Elizabeth Drive will be held until they can move in Or if a person has paid rent and wants to move to the seniors apartment building as soon as possible as long as they have a receipt for rent paid elsewhere their rent on Elizabeth Drive will be waived Notice dates to landlords can be coordinated with move in dates That information came from both Reed and Ms Gabriel Shortly after Halton Housing Authority takes over the building an open house will be held for seniors so they can see the apartments and discuss rents and leases People will to move In not long after Noting many are concerned about Ian dlord tenant matters such as leases and rent Reed said his office Is available to help seniors can be reached at and messages left with the answering service will be answered Reed a landlord must give a tenant days nollce while a tenant must only give days notice understandable assumption since a group here for Action collected a signature petition and prepared an impressive brief for Queens Park asking the town be allowed to leave Halton and Hills just a few years ago The plea to theprovlnce fell on deaf ears After two months and his supporters have collected signatures on petitions and about letters No petitions are being circulated In Acton as far as or this newspaper knows although he re ports he has sent four or five to people here and more to rural addresses says he has to letters from Acton and area They are disillusioned is explanation for the reason none of his petitions are being a led here Petitions are being circulated in Georgetown while both Milton and have asked the province to let them out of Halton The politicians are counting on peoples apathy declared He soys people here have decided what the use in fighting the province any longer over regional government Speaking of the response hes receivr d so far from Aeton and other areas where there is regional government Majic said this is peanuts nothing People are so apathetic it hurts It sing Its cheaper to pay these soaring taxes than to circulate the petition Majic says hes not disillusioned by the slowness of his campaign gelling off the ground especially in Acton where he hoped for a lot of support Me Im not disillusioned Im mad as hell This petition is all for one and one for all Its not for my glory or my ego Ill be In Acton going door to door this month and I wont be polite at the door Im fed up with apathy of people PUMP PROBLEMS Wo to aJf jot and piston pumps Were
