the acton free press acton ontario thursday september 0 1994 not one on no 25 one of the features which makes ontarios highways pleasant for motorists are the picnic tables located m shaded spots most everywhere one travels these picnic spots are in use and whether on a long drive or ust out for family picnic they are in use we said they ore most everywhere along ontarios highways perhaps you too have notic ed that not one of the picnic tables is located on no 25 highway fn its whole length yet there is no more scenic section in the district quite often cne sees a roadside picnic being enjoyed in spite of the lack of facilities this is particularly true tn that winding section ust south of speyside there are several choice locations along no 25 for road side tables and surely another summer will see a few scattered along the route t s an oversight we feel sure that will soon be corrected belated but sincere in the extra confusion of conventions and to peruse our exchange we overlooked a very im portant event in the history of a neighboring weekly the fergus news record recently cele brated a hundred years of service to that towp just north west of here we have known the ternplin family through three generations and the paper under their guidance has won a place not only in fergus and district but in canada at large that may well be the ami of any newspaper the services to canadian journalism that the present editor dr hugh ternplin has given were recognized in some measure by the honorary degree conferred on him by the university of western ontario some years ago our belated but none the less sincere con gratulations go to the fergus news record and the templins on this 100th anniversary and our best wishes for a continuance of their success during the years ahead music has charms maybe you read the story this week of the band that came from donkin in nova scotia to participate in the music day competitions at the cne they took a year to raise the funds for expenses about 3600 they placed second in their class and they made an arrangement to play the next day at the nova scotia exhibit the cne officials agreed to pay si 50 the price sug gested by the band but the band boys from donkin found out that in toronto you cant play for the fun of it walter murdock music union head ruled the cne must pay 10 per man or a total of s300 before he would clear the performance it s re ported mr murdock wasn t very nice in his com ments either and no one can blame cne officials for dodging another tilt with musicians unions after the grandstand spectacle they had ust gone through the band bfioys from donkin nova scotia headed back home on their 1500 mile trip we ii bet they would have played for nothing as no doubt most of them do all the time we don t know who was to receive the 300 fee asked by the union head but not likely any charity it is well that we have such places as donkin across canada where band boys can play their tunes without clearance by mr murdock it ts go ing to be a dull country when folks cannot play music for the oy of it and have to have their per formances cleared through some official were glad we live m a place like donkin where the band boys can add to the community life without permission of anyone we hope the donk n band is not discouraged by their treatment or their trip to ontario there are lots of places in this pro- v mce where their performance could be given and appreciated but well have to guard our liberties well lest we lose them guess we had better hide our trombone as we ii never ask for clearance from anyone to use it we re glad we played m the bands before the latest arrangements came into force m the city the music wasn t professional but it was sure a pleasure to blow with perfect freedom make it a date now comes the season of the rural fairs of canada go where you will across the province you will find the weeks crowded with dates of the fall fairs it is impossible to take them all in so the best thing to do is select the fairs in your im mediate neighborhood and be sure to attend those your own fair is one thai you cannot afford to miss the dates for acton fair

the day after labor day may not officially be the close of summer but in these parts when that holiday is over and the children return to school the end of summer activities has come it signals the start of fall activity schools re opened on tuesday across ontario with a growing population the school popula lion is up of course in spite of new buildings and classrooms it seems almost impossible to veep m pace with the needs never however have the young people of town and country had great er opportunities for securing a good education than today it is costing ihose who pay taxes plenty to keep pace with the needs but it is being done and we sincerely hope is appreciated by the school boys and girls of the present day now os the fall term opens in schools it is well for pupils to remember that the course of s udy they are undertaking will require the whole ear to complete in any race ihe boy or girl who gets off to a good start finds it easier to maintain the lead than it is lo catch up to the leaders life is always a contest and lo maintain leadership or ust a place in the field requires constant effort schools and opportunities for young folks open today across the province how you use i them is up to you the foundations for your life aie being laid in the school days that are now sure jts a problem dr w h cruickshank medical director of the health league of canada says alcoholism has become a major health problem within the can adian adult population it has taken its greatest toll in industry it is only natural that within re cent years it has become the subject of a great deal of study by industrial and health leaders we have often wondered why with all the study accorded this ma0r health problem we still continue to make more outlets for alcoholism and give every facility for creating more drinkers we don t treat the drug sale with the same cod dlmg we use every endeavor to stamp out the illicit trade in narcot cs yet the alcoholics of our country far outnumber the drug addicts very often dunking of intoxicating beverages is the start of the individual on the skid row with all the study given the problem of alco holism it seems probable that someone would find that the best way to eliminate the problem would be to make the manufacture of alcohol il legal we do it with drugs because the manu facturers haven t such a hold on our finances fveryone knows the magnitude of the problem of alcoholism but we are lulled into compacency because of the nice uicy profits which accrue from its sale and the smooth propoganda that those who profit most use to put across the deal back in 1904 rrom the laane af the free freaa of thoraday september s 194 an amendment to tin municipal art made by thr i guliture re- ciuire- thw i candhhte
