The Acton Free Press Wednesday May Me There is no doubt that the majority of Canadians deplore the type of violent demonstration that happened on the streets of Toronto recently when a mob rampaged through the downtown section smashing property and throwing rocks through a department stores windows Aping their American brethren the demonstrators protested their opposition to a war being conducted by another country in an area of the world where most of them know nothing about conditions and less about the causes Proof that it was another manifestation of the adolescent monkey-see- monkeydo psychology was provided when demonstrators the police pigs and objected when of the liw made it clear they were not going to stand for any nonsense The fi Much of the current unrest between organised labor and employers whether it be in the private sector or public is marked by extreme dialogue You can run from the threatened postal strike to divisions between the county boards of education with the Ontario Secondary School Federation and theres an parallel between the inee taken by the union andor the employer It seems to be ill of negotiations The union says we will for tins and hope to get that grit their teeth and issue statements that they will only give this and set their sights on relinquishing that much il the union shows strong ition The courtship is also marked by frequent illusions to the Tightness of the respective positions whether it be from management or union Tor instance in the current dispute between the the Board of the Board issued a statement in an advertisement that it must retain the right to manage its schools and advising the people of the county there is a of secondary school opinion that thinks otherwise The police kept their heads in spite of the insults and epithets and moved among them arresting those who were most violent in their objections The irritating point of the whole as many commentators hive pointed out is that the people involved are the very ones who crusade to escipe things Then in complete reversal they mutate tactics imported from across the border n complete and utter disregard for all their tilk violence another part ol the world they dont hesitate to use loree to get their own ends The I ictics they use could come straight from the teachings the Communist revolution ines and anarchists r it her than real promoters ice is a word that in the wrong hands can i lot of abuse Board estimated that without salary increases to the cost to the taxpayers from cert items in the OSS1T salary brief could miount to SI Personally we thought some the ngs the teachers were asking for were ridiculous and dont doubt a strong body of opinion among the tcicliers thinks so too We would presume ill the items arc negotiable The Board is right when it that it his been elected to the il enterprise in the interests of the people both illy and fin they are right again in opining tint the increased costs are not what the people want But to be lair in this dispute one has to go back to the Boards beginnings when the trustees immediately voted themselves the maximum wages- pardon me remuneration and the director and the descending order hierarchy of the professional educators received salaries that astonished people in this end of the county Perhaps the tone was set then that the county was gold mine waiting to be worked it both ends the shaft ind at the various levels Comparing population figures in Halton is hardly a true indication ol population shift since the townships ot Nelson and Trafilgar were swelled by Burlington and respectively However it is interesting to note from this ye irs tigures that percentage increases across the county were almost the same with the exception of Milton which rose per cent due to annexation of I acres land from Burlington had the largest actual increase in adding people tor a total ol Georgetown followed with Milton added Acton I ho and Acton population rose to a figure which could be well behind ye ir census il ill the building on the drawing boards materializes Much of the increase could apartment buildings which are pi or being built in several places town The population of County now is 177 with ol that number living in the south of the county below Milton the capital Much of the other 40 people also live close to the southern end It will be interesting to check the figures in ye irs time when the results of the Design tor Development concept in for the area ire beginning to show They should reveal a much larger population in the south end of the county and gradual growth in the three towns in the north Ike Support tor the retention Sunday as a da rest is increasing and tile base lor the support extends beyond the church groups commonly allied in such a cause It is interesting to see from the annual report of the Lord s Day Alliance of Canada mat an independent committee composed of officials m food store chains labor unions trade and con organi7ations and churches presented some views on the subject of Seinday The committee affirmed that Sunday business would deprive many workers of rest and freedom from work on the particular day of tne week when tne majority of people are customarily at leisure would take working fathers and working motners away from home on the common restday and would deprive children parental company and supervision It would add to operating costs ot business and this would inevitable lead to further increase in the cost living The Alliance is being realistic too when it suggests that for those who attach little or no importance to religion the next best use of Sunday is undoubtedly that of rest and recreation best taken in family association Sunday will to be under attack despite shorter work weeks and supposedly more leisure hours There will always be those who will eye the extra days production or revenue as tne factor Even those who see in Sunday sport great rewards
