generationsold landmarks come into disrepair or disuse as their utility disappears such a sentiment occurred the other day when we looked at actons old iron water trough at the southeast corner of main and mill streets there it sits rusted and dry dirtied with gravel sand and paper refuse years ago scores of horses satisfied their thirst at this trough hundreds of dogs lap ped the cold hard water small boys and some bigger ones too werent at all hesi tant about using the trough to irreverently baptize some deserving and protesting com panion the old trough saw many hijinks around and in it while serving its original purpose well today no horses come for a refreshing drink no dogs scamper to its rim and no young actonians hold gleeful water fights around it the old trough has seen its day but wed hate to see this concrete form of local history end up on a scrap heap some day perhaps not too far away ac ton will have a municipal centre perhaps in the landscaping or structure of this

racy what are the elements that make up peace peace is living out the principles of in spired democracy in obedience to the guid ance of god peace is a new spirit it is not just an idea but people becoming different peace is building unity instead of foster ing division division is the mark of our age unity is the grace of rebirth peace is taking responsibility for our own mistakes honest apology is the high road to honest peace peace is ensuring that the prevailing idea on both sides of the conference table is not whos right but whats right peace is acting on the conviction that the whole world is my neighbor peace is using the absolute moral stand ards of honesty purity unselfishness and love as a basis for solving world problems peace is reconciliation between men charters

augusts rains andcoldr not from all memories however the capricious way of the weather this year caus ed disturbing crop outcomes there was widespread late planting due to the sodden state of the ground some farmers in the wettest parts of the province didnt get sow ing done at all when grams did start the warm wet earth made for rapid growth but many farm operators questioned or feared for quality in the face of high yields root cr fared in like manner here- however the problem of rotcausing mois ture was more acute than the scattered dif ficulty with grains where late summer warmth and rains ripened and rotted patches of fields before the downpours would hold off long enough for cutting for these and other reasons few farmers will as easily forget the summers inconsist ency as others enjoyable as this autumn may be a barbaric twist in us while we must admit to not being an avid follower of the sports pages of the daily press we do take time in our usual reading habits toat least scan them from that point we are quite often appalled recently in one of the large circulation dailies and probabjy in many more we didnt see was reproduced a picture of isaac logart of cuba as his features were twisted inhum anely out of all proportion by the haid left jab of an opponent in a fight at bostort from the point of view of theprofession- al photographer who no doubt had spent many fruitless hours at ringside the photo graph would be a crowning achievement it was no doubt the kind of picture for which photographers win awards were told in the lines under the picture that the fight was a split decision but be- ygndthe decision we wonder just what the effects of such a fight and such a photograph might be perhaps its some ingrained opposition to fighting in any form that seems to have de veloped in us but we are constantly appalled by the sport of boxing of course the boxers are in- the ring be- cause its their form of employment and thats why the spectator is the promoter and because of this when were faced with a pic ture that relays to us the grim reality of the sports effect we think its time to stop and reexamine the principles and motives that lead to support of this kind of sport psychojpgjsts can have a field day with this kind of discussing leading back to our animal instincts and complexes we dont in tend to gothat far but we do think the fan who gets a real kick out of the defacing sport should give more thought to the fighters in the house that is not invaded by patlcriwjrfeet chattering tongues and inquisitive fingers without it this column would never get written but of course no room in this house is sound proof occas ionally i hear a crash and then a cry long or short according to the severity of the bump that pre ceded it and when the television is on noises that reach my retreat are many and varied dogs bark ing children singing guns crack ing and a socalled mixture of music last wednesday another tiiece and nephew arrived with their two small children they stayed until saturday the ages of the four children ranged from three and a half two and a half and eighteen and seventeen months old with two cots and one high chair be tween them yes i know many more in the house allthe time but usually the children are in their own home amid familiar sur roundings and with furniture and toys to suif their needs here it is different and that is where the fun begins we are not used to putting- things out of reach so you can imagine what happens one time nancy was found on top of the kitchen table with partners
