OUR READERS WRITE Weed a new centre for our lives Deer Sir In the Acton paper of June 1 read the poem Changes for the Sake of Change which was beautiful Why Is It that people want a change all the time We adults are like children always enthusiastic about anything which la new- a new tie a new piece of wallpaper a new minister Do you remember when you were a child- raising your fingerteacher my book la full You got a new one carefully opened It and wrote on the first page more beautifully than on the last we have not changed too much We have an extra friendly face when we wear a new shirt or dress There are some who long for something new so much that they emigrate to new surroundings of a new Job It is the style now even to look for a new wife and new children We long for something as If we were a bridegroom going to marriage the new day that awaits us with work the flowers and the people as If the day had just taken a bath and fresh But It is not like that We long for something new but we do not know what We long for a new lif eand there are those who claim to have it- but It la fust like new bus regulations There Is a difference of a couple of minutes In the summer and winter schedules but sometimes not too many changes So It Is with that new life A new title a new book but Inside it only differs a little first and second wife times you went to church or t go Just a couple of minutes difference not too much But from the throne in heaven comes the most important newsLook I make everything new Is It possible therefore that for us every thing remains the same because we want to make it new ourselves What we make new stays old We can turn a little but remain in the same old circle because we always have the same If we want new surroundings we need a new centre first Everything can become new but then we have to make place at the centre for Jesus of Nazareth who was so new that even the sea stiffened under His feet Do we put Him in the mlddleor ourselves In the middle This Is not the difference of a couple of minutes This Is the difference between day and night life and death John Kamminga Mosquitos hundred million strong Out here in Among the rocks and stones Where bite both day and night And gnaw upon our bones We now are plagued with creatures A hundred million strong They measure out an inch about And travel right along They don t pay any taxes We think the creatures should They adorn my shack both front and back And cover up the wood They re the hardest working creatures With their long haired curling backs So debonnaire without a care They fill up all the cracks Our township council loves em They keep them in their drawers They tease them and they squeeze them Upon the council floors You can find them In their washrooms They park on toilet seats They re round clocks in the Lunch Box They keep them with their eats They d never think of spraying them Around the countrysides lflshouidsell Their meat or tan their hides Agrees with views of Dune McPhedran Reading the paper this week I see Duncan McPhedran said a few things I hold with about the planning that is done by the Grand River Conservation Authority There Is too much land taken for parks and manmade lakes that should be left for farming and to grow food to eat I knew Dunes father 75 years ago in the days when a day were laboring wages from seven clock tiUslxatnight and when a farmer wife received 16c for a pound of butter and 12c for a dozen eggs But people always had a lot to eat on the table and not handtomouth as lots are today Now Dune comes up with a sensible Idea and any head of a planning board would do well to listen to him Thanks Percy Woods all get behind Centennial project According to an Item in THE FREE PRESS It is apparent there is of great deal of discord among Acton Citizens over our Centennial Project Could It be possible that even before It gets under way we shall tire of all these arguments lose Interest and perhaps fail to support it Perhaps what we need is some worthwhile publicity Let really advertise where and when the meeting will actually occur The project deserves a maximum effort- Beginning with really informative ad vertising What more we need an idea for the project that will give everyone the fullest benefit A Centennial Centre which everyone could use and enjoy to the maximum would be both appealing and In our view very worthwhile Let remember that we have citizens of all types Some like hockey some enjoy others basketball and all manner of other sports and recreational activities They could all be catered to in a Centennial Centre It could be a place with comfortable facilities washrooms and attractive assembly rooms for dances and other evening activities So why support other communities deserving though they may be when we could be using our recreation funds to satisfy needs here in our own home town How many sports figures of renown could we have produced in the past if we had taken this step earlier We don t know But now we have an opportunity to find out if we grasp It immediately Yet unfortunately we can scarcely favor any group or sport If our people don t exhibit sufficient Interest to participate in the project Some may say we are trying to shut the stable door after the horse has long departed But In fact it not to late call the animal back and tether him All we have to do is to inform people and interest them They do the rest Yours truly The Club of Acton Lets talk about HORSES with Jennifer Ban- in the past years I have heard many laments questions and good way of seeing if the novelty will wear off before a large investment will be made When it comes time to buy a horse or pony ask the advice of the instructor You can often get a good horse through a riding school Make friends with a horsey person who can help you choose Take your time The best Investment will be a well trained older animal of considerable experience This You name ft The damage la done a child is will be cheap but then neither problems concerning children hurt or frightened a pony an accordion or a piano and and pet ponies or horses from the becomes a discipline problem you don get killed by a poorly non horsey parent Such and the parent finally admits that trained piano comments as My daughter is he really t know enough crazy about horses and wants to about the whole Don buy a foal It takes a good learn to ride We think it would be four years of careful training to to Ret a little foal and let I j produce a reliable mount from a up my handled riding is an foal When the child has had AildBSverynTugntyfliS years riding on different won iff the him finfflSi etc etc So what do you do If Jill Is dying lake on a training Job if a Tor a horse and your own adult is on hand for advice SEP child to a reputable riding school interesting challenging and for good Instruction One or two exciting creatures not sweet lessons a week for the better part cuddly pets If you Just want rider something to pat buy a rabbit out of any child It will also be a it safer and cheaper Juno and Janice EUerby pupils of Pink performed at the Young

stemming from the fact that the -i- smews dear little equine as a faithful am problems Would a parent hand his child a loaded gun for a toy Would he take a child out to the river and dump him In the water saying Would it be a The Acton Free Press Wednesday good Idea to put a sevenyearold behind the wheel of a car and tell him to have fun Why then buy a potentially dangerous heavy sharpfooted toothed plaything for that child Even the sweetest gentlest pony con become frightened and run away dragging a child The nicest foal becomes spoiled and rough without proper handling Many years ago when I was boarding my horses at an excellent stable In Montreal a very expo dented twelveyearold was training a gentle Welsh pony for a show The pony spooked The child fell was dragged and killed All because there was no adult supervision at that particular time I have seen people buy an old horse expecting it to teach the child to ride I ve seen bridles put on backwards saddles far too small the wrong bits hooves fools bought bemuse the buyer thought he was buying saddlebroke ponies a mother sitting a four yearold on a new born foals back to get them used to each other men saddle breaking that yearling by slapping the saddle on the animal and galloping all over the field OPENS SHOW STARTS AT DUSK All the arrival of HEINTZMAN PIANOS to KELLY and SON LTD Kellys announce the arrival of
