OUR READERS WRITE Bower Ave should be part of overall plan March 1973 package deal which Is good something about Mill St and the parking When two The Editor Acton Press Coach Line bus comes stops Fixing the pavement on Bower can be very beneficial have you been splashed recently but this should be part of a well thoughtout overall plan for street routing In the town which the mayor predicts will attain a population of 10 to some day in the not far future Is council thinking of what should be done about traffic study for that day Dear Sir I read In your admirable Journal which takes prizes year by year that the city fathers propose making changes on Bower Avenue to include widening of the street Some time back being confused by the signs that say Bower Street while not ten feet away another sign says Bower Avenue Iwenttothetownofflcetofindout what the name of the street was Jack McGeachie went at the subject as If he were defending the Scottish nation There is no Justification whatever for calling It Bower Avenue it is Bower Street and so recorded If Jack be right and who would dispute the town clerk I later asked why the sign at Bower and Mill Street read Bower Avenue and Jack acknowledged his error This did not prevent the Hydro putting a stand at the corner of Alice which reads Bower Avenue The Tyler maps show the street Bower Street and presumably are right Why then does council speak of Bower Avenue Don Ryder had a fine letter In last weeks issue on what the changes could mean But what troubles me is that Bower Street is really a deadend street true it leads into Willow but then one has to turn left or right and usually turn again to get access to a through road Why not Include in the Yours sincerely Editor note Sure enough the official zoning map of the town refers to Bower Ave as Bower St but common usage often takes precedence over official names Acton Early Days refers to the street as Bower Avenue The book says Bower Avenue was originally the farm lane to the back of the old Adams farm West Bower Avenue was the front lane from the farm house to the second line 25 highway It commenced at the farm residence just in rear of where Knox manse now stands and ran to a point on Main St opposite the present Knox Church However the old Halton County Atlas printed in refers to the street as Bower St and it was taken from the official registered plan So the clerk was right and everyone Is out of step but our John People accept uphold worship of Satan Dear Editor CHURCH OF THE PROCESS Biblical approach It certainly brings to my mind that these are the last days when I see how calmly and cooly people not only accept but uphold Satan worship To ease people a minds Jokes are made about it and explanations that Its not really what it seems to be Of course If the works of a Satanic Inspired church are Christian then it cant be all that bad can It It couldnt be worse Satan Is subtle and deceitful and is not above coming as a wolf in sheeps clothing Matt 7 or as false apostles decelftul workers transforming themselves Into the apostles of Christ and no marvel for Satan himself Is transformed into an angel of light n Cor 1415 Not everyone that unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven hut he that doth tot will f my Father which is In Heaven Many will say to me In that day Lord Lord have we not phrophesled in thy name And In thy name have cast out Devils and In thy name done many wonderful works And then will I profess unto them I never knew you Depart from me ye that work Iniquity Not just the Church of the Process but all those who refuse to believe in and serve God are on the Devils side as can be seen in Matt 24 The Church of the Process claims Satan part of their so called Trinity It Is quite characteristic of Satan the father of all but we know that the scriptures tell us of his end and total separation from God in Rev 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false are and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever This will come to pass for His word Is true from beginning to end and his judgements endure forever Psalms 119 160 Will we have a part in the everlasting Ore prepared for the devil and his angels Matt 4 or will wttmoang the blessed of the Father who me Kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world Matt 34 John 16 Acton district generous to Red Cross Dear Sir May express through the medium of your paper the gratitude of the Georgetown and District Branch of
