OUR READERS WRITE Goofs can change the meaning u whole meaning of that sentence and indeed greatly alter the article In which that Acton Ont sentence has its place Such was the case with a sentence In the column of The Clergy Speaks Out in the May issue The sentence read It behooves youth to disparage altogether the views of their elders The word ill should have been printed before the word behoove The meaning of the sentence was aa a result entirely changed and was out of line with the rest of the article Of course we may all of us take some comfort in knowing that he who never makes a mistake is dead or ought to be Dear Sir There is I believe general agreement among as well as others who have the opportunity of reading the Acton Free Press that your paper Is one of the best weeklies published in Canada The awards received for excellence In the past have been justly earned It is also very gratifying to see the present publisher of your paper receive the Citizen of the Year award for the past year David Dills like his father before him Is well deserving of such an honour Both have shown themselves to be men of principle There is however one beef I nave with respect to your paper and that Is the oc casional faulty proofreading done One word left out of a sentence can change the Sincerely yours A Walter The word in wa3 printed in the last sentence of the article In place of is Editors Note Oops Rockwood bowling champs DAVE GRAY trophy was won by league winners the Strattons On team are Snm Nyholt Dick Diipuis Pat Dune Kingsbury Ruth Kingsbury and Garfield Photo by Don Hilts Ospringe Irelands fate tied to lusty rascality Dear Editor RRI LimehouseOnt More on the land of the shamrock Although we are far from Belfast Londonderry or the cause of Justice and freedom should concern and appeal to sensible and freedom loving people as the only way of life we can hope to profit from Therefore we must draw the line on all such action as has taken place in Ireland since the plantation in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and all of us know that care to admit it that the aim was to destroy the culture faith and morals of these people whose simplicity inspired St Patrick to convert them to the faith They have suffered so much under British rule when there was no IRA to blame for the action towards these people through want of dignity and respect And at no time in history has anyone turned up to change the picture sensibly so that all would profit The switch to direct rule Is Just another act in the play showing little signs of repentance for the depredation and loss of life on both sides which Prime Minister Heath could have prevented if he had the decency and sense to do Meaning to say that If wc dont perform through the grace of God our deeds ore evil and will multiply like seeds Church and State condemn the action of the which is to be expected There was much talk about this woman that was tarred and feathered owing to her condition Let us keep in mind the purpose and principles of marriage as outlined by the good Lord himself and the beating they arc taking as if we were lords and masters of our own destinies We ore helpless to prevent the damage caused by an earthquake and such proves have strayed from the narrow path and arc satisfied to live in a fools paradise with our lustful desires The youth of today are paying dearly with birth control and abortion being the order of the day We learned from childhood that God himself created the world for mans use and benefit so It would be well for us to pull in our horns and let our conscience guide us He will have the last word about the rascality and lust that is so rife throughout the world While Christianity is sinking fast throughout the world Irelands unity will remain in Ibe bag and there is not much the can do about it in their endeavour to counteract the rascality that has taken the lives of Irelands finest and best down through the centuries profiting no one

Avian Three businessmen have purchased Avian Air craft Ltd of Georgetown a plant started by aircraft engineers when the Arrow program was cancelled in The company designed and built a unique gyroplane which was often seen flying over this district The gyroplane was certified by the Department of Transport in 1968 after nine years of building and testing six prototypes At one time the firm employed people but in the plant closed down after a decision by shareholders not to go into production More than million was spent on prototypes some of it government assistance but most from Thermos Electric Co Ltd major shareholders in the company Price The craft made by the company would have borne a price of 20000 moderately priced compared to a helicopter It is easy to fly cheap to maintain can land almost anywhere and can be flown by any fixed wing pilot with no helicopter pilots license required The Avion used rotors and a rear mounted for power Although interest in the machine came from the

Ottawa That is where the machine has been collecting dust for the last two years The new owners are Harvey Krotz on automobile David a businessman and Mayor of and Donald on official of Harvey Ltd A

habitable council decided to grant the request Monday when Walter Reka appeared to ask reconsideration of the request which council turned down earlier Mr said the organization was based on high moral and religious principles and a chapel is necessary far ceremonies He said a qualified architect would design the chapel and It would really only be an altar with a roof over It to allow campers to get out of the elements The necessity of a proper ad ministration building at the camp was also explained Mr Reka said that they intended to use the old administration building for a first aid station but if that was all that held up approval of a new building they would tear it down Reeve Tom Hill said council was suspicious of the youth camps intentions for the old building when the request to tear it down was refused He said the township would reconsider the request however if the building was torn down when the new one was ready for use A suggested time limit for tearing the building down was rejected because the camp near Acton depends on voluntary labor to do its construction Council passed a motion with the needed approvals The reeve observed facetiously that If councils dictum wasnt met there would be another religious service at the camp next spring ChoosoH ANDREW MURRAY MOTORS 1 Hot GEORGETOWN
