OUR READERS WRITE Calls MacArthur statement rash The Acton Freo Press Wednesday January Dear Sir January With reference to a reported by Reeve Anna of at Brookville wherein she makes rather a rash statement to the effect quote No one can challenge me at the county level now 1 have received overwhelming electoral support from our residents end of quote One wonders how a person of such authority can make such a ridiculous Let the reeve be reminded that Just because she receives large support at the polls it doesnt give her licence to do as she pleases She should always remember that chaUenAesofanvkinrf from higher or lower authorities should be readily ac ceptable by her at tiny time and from whatever level they come be they high or low Life is just one big challenge and you do get accepted readily if you dont fight for ones objective but refuse to accept any opposition with the resolution it merits A point too she should remember is that she is elected by the people of the area concerned and shouldnt try to put a crown on her head just because of this factor There la much which can be done ef ficiently and thoroughly without making such rash statements She should remember engines that produce the most steam dont always produce the best performance Restrict strikes to days ACTON CITIZENS BAND elected its executive at the annual meeting at the Acton Music Centre

to arc executive committee members Brian Sampson Ian Moorans Barb Pratt and Heather Buchanan legal representative and town council representative CounciUorNorm Elliott Staff Photo Dear Sir- I was at that fine old Canadianfinanced bank of yours the Bank of Montreal when ladies waiting at the same wicket said I cant spend so much this Christmas my mans on strike Then she turned to me and said I dont believe In strikes do you Great was her surprise when I answered Yes do believe in strikes when they are not long But you cant tell how long they are going to last she replied She had hit the nail on the head That is the one wicked point in a strike The producer having more money in reserve than the worker or his union can hold the rod over the striking worker Just as long as he pleases He can make the workman smart He can make the workers wife do without things He can upset things for the workers family Can the union leaders not see this Do they not know that the longer the strike the weaker the position of the working man becomes I know what the worklngmen themselves can sec and they dont need a spyglass see It cither They can observe the business where they labor expanding by leaps and bounds as a remit of profit from their labor Mind you I say the producer can do undesirable things but must be fair I must admit then that some producers do have the interests of their men at heart but how many What then is the solution to all this disruption of home and country a law restricting the strike to not more than workdays At the end of that time a government mediator who has taken his oath to be fair to the appointed to settle the dispute His decision to be final Just let that mediator give the laborer what rightfully his due which could be even more than the workers demand and watch the formerly unyielding producer sit up and take notice He may Indeed wish he had taken atl- of the day strike period The experiment is worth trying Yours truly Mlllicent Milroy Ont regional plan from Page I Need milewide belt Water sewer problem Province should establish job corps Its time for an Ontario Job Corps With government policy creating unemployment and increasing automation many unemployed are out of work through no fault of their own There arc thousands of worthy projects in Ontario Parks need upkeep Roads need maintenance and cleanups Manmade and abandoned farms need re fore ion Community centres and facilities need improvements while governments waste millions In welfare to keep healthy men idle This is folly for the taxpayer and unhealthy for those on the dole Ontario now makes grants to municipalities but the situation gets steadily worse The province should assume all welfare costs and establish an Ontario job corps All ablebodied unemployed could be given work the provincial minimum wage till economic conditions improve and they can get better paying jobs elsewhere The money would be spent on welfare the taxpayers will get something for their taxes the Jobless can have some work and we can abolish welfare for the ablebodied Yours truly John C Mcdcof Mount Albert The brief states that a combined urban separation and services corridor formerly referred to as a Parkway Belt would be useful to provide major separation for major areas and space for roads hydro right-of- ways pipe lines and future transportation all incorporated in a visually attractive Jointuse corridor Hospital rates up Of interest to is an increase of rates at both hospitals St Josephs Hospital and the General Hospital rates have been increased by the Ontario
