(Town Photo radar Ward Four Councillor Bob Inglis wants to be kept up to speed on the possibility of the Liberal government bringing back photo radar to raise rev- enues and reduce the budget deficit. At.a recent Council meet- ing Inglis said municipal roads could be included in a photo radar program, along with the original 400-series of Dicest . 3 highways, and asked Town staff to report any provincial developments. In 1995 the NDP govern- ment introduced a photo radar system that clocked speeding drivers, recorded their licence plate numbers and issued tick- ets by mail. The anti-speeding measure generated $16-million in fines from 224,000 tickets before being cancelled by Mike Harris and his Conservatives. ATTENTION: 1st Acton Scout Troop with Scoutmaster the Rev.

He was awarded the Military Cross and Bar for the heroism he displayed while attending the wounded - both allied and German -- during the July 8, 1944, Battle of Buron, and on the beaches of Normandy, D-Day June 6, 1944. Anderson never drank or swore but acknowledged he almost broke the bad language barrier when he was helping stretcher bearers bring in German wounded and German snip- ers sniped at them. His customary "curse" when he was really mad was "Good Gordon Highlanders" said with much feeling. A teetotaler, he still owned and kept a bottle of whiskey given to each of- ficer in the mess just before D-Day. "I'm certain I'm the only Highlander who kept his pre D-Day scotch corked," Anderson con- fessed to a reporter. Anderson left the army in 1947 to serve as minister at Knox: Church in Acton, to the delight of several Acton veterans who had served with the HLL, including Tom Given, and the late George (Ron) Bayliss and Frank "Twitter" Holmes. He be- came a Chartered Member of the Acton Rotary Club in 1948 and returned as a speaker on the club's 25" anniversary in 1973, Rotary and Knox member Mac Sprowl recalls. During his pastorate in Acton, Rev. 'Jock' was also Scoutmaster for the 1" Acton troop, Jim Dills of Milton recalls. Jim says Anderson took the troop to Peacehaven Camp in 1947 and "woke us each morn- ing with the skirl of the bagpipes. Ours was an im- pressive group as we marched with bagpipe ac- companiment to the flag raising and lowering each day." After 18 months as the minister of Knox, Acton, Anderson felt he was more suited to military life and he returned to chaplainey at Ortona Barracks, Oakville after October of 1948. His interest in Acton was re- vived when he returned to speak at Knox Church's 150th anniversary in 1995, Mac Sprowl recalls. There are 51 members of Knox still living when 'Jock' was minister here, Sprowl says. Anderson later went to work as a probation officer for the Ontario Government where his experience with youth was put to good use. He died at his home in Oakville on Tuesday, Janu- ary 20, at the age of 90, one of Canada's most distin- guished soldiers.
