getting any has finally found help Last month the Free Press featured story by Mark Holmes on Archie a double amputee who had faced the seemingly insurmountable task of fighting both government and organizational bureaucracy who Is also a senior citizen and war veteran had all but given up hope of ever finding help After the story was the situation took a turn for the better First a neighbor who had read the story came up to Mr apartment and presented turn with him out Within a week the club who had previous donated a wheel chair approach ed to see if they could help out Next the Royal Canadian Legion went into action buying Archie hand controls for Ms car so he could drive again Then the Ontario March of Dimes got In- d are subsidizing Archie for the Ms of Ins new prosthesis which

that can help all of the sudden everyone trying to help Archie also commented that he grateful to all the people who helped and he believes I the good that be found in people But mayor says they will fight to regain it Disappointment was the unanimous response of Halton Hills mayor Miller and a committee of three which with Via Rail officials with a request to have passenger trains stop in Acton Ray Borden vice president of the Great Lakes Region of Via Rail and his deputy Dave Sherlock met with the mayor Rick Chamber of Commer president Steve Dawkins and Town clerk Ken Richardson last week But according to the local committee they trotted out the same old arguments everyone had heard before discouraging of train service Mr- Borden argued that most Via trains only had two cars and they were 851 per cent of capacity and they would have to add a third car if they stopped at Acton They claimed the system is short of equipment and must borrow from the Windsor area now to keep the trains running But their most ridiculous argument said the mayor was that Acton and district already had good train service All they ad to do was travel to Guelph and board the train there If they were going to Toronto that meant they would have to backtrack another 15 miles at considerable expense noted Bon A backward step if I ever saw one Its a shame we are so close to Metro Toronto and still have no train service though the rails go through the heart of Ac ton It would take time to develop the passenger service acknowledged the mayor but the trend is to public transit and it should be a matter of record for them that most people in Acton could walk to the train And then theres the large area around Ac ton which would use Via Rail service es pecially to downtown Toronto which only takes minutes GO buses run frequently but it takes an hour and minutes to go to York Mills by bus and then a further minutes to get downtown Elderly people who travel to Toronto for medical service for instance are often confused by the changes and the time It takes to get downtown A train would take them right to the heart of the city a service which Acton had for over a century The committee noted there are lfrVia Rail trains going through Acton each day five each way Via officials said stopping in Acton would mean five minutes off the schedule a disruption But they fall to realize the riders are here and efforts by Town officials to Improve facilities are hampered by the reluctance of Via to cooperate the committee says Their only extra expense is to stop the train the mayor maintained We were disappointed the mayor said but we are not satisfied with the answers they gave and we are going to continue pressing for Via service Its only right Via is supposed to provide service and they arent The local committee was buoyed by the victory St Marys woo In their fight to keep rail passenger service although the residents there do not have the access to downtown Toronto Acton has but they cant help but wonder why Cambridge for in stance which requested service has so far failed Roads are dogged with traffic and rocket ting gasoline prices will soon persuade commuters the advantages of using the train they noted The big bureaucrats are still stepping on little Acton the committee agreed and efforts to Improve facilities and business is hurt by it Balloon floats over lake and lands in thepark Fireworks big balloon thrill large crowds Thousands of people enjoyed the annual display at Prospect Pork Monday evening Crowds lined the banks of Fairy Lake and almost filled the park Acton Firefighters presented the display Donation to purchase the fireworks was slow in arriving this year so the fire fighters collected donations from the crowds to help defray expenses Appreciative applause from the crowds greeted extra special examples of pyro technics Earlier the park was a scene of a balloon landing which thrilled hundreds A giant balloon huffing and puffing like a mediaeval dragon appeared over Fairy Lake and gradually descended until it v skimmed the water There were four people in the basket spectators were alarmed that the balloon was in trouble and the basket occupants would be un ceremoniously dunked In the middle of the lake But the balloon master Al Russell was just giving spectators a thrill Bearing the name of a well known soft drink firm the giant balloon skimmed the takeover to the Legion hall bop scotched over the trees bordering the park and descended on the soccer field The balloon and Its occupants were soon surrounded by spectators Afters brief stop they took off again and sailed over Acton towards the east talking to people below on the streets
