effective by the end of the year Miss Linda McHutchlon was appointed to Brookvllle Public School Steve Van Fleet The current issue of Education News contains an article on Steve Van Fleet and his recent athletic Colonnade gives you the impression that it a place where only the weltoff can afford to shop but actually It has something for everyone When questioning one store keeper on what kind of customers she got In her shop her reply was that the majority were from teenagers to middleaged people of the middle class bracket Doll store One store we visited was the Doll Haven It displayed every doll from Raggedy Ann to the wives of Henry What kind of customers come to this store They range from little girls to grandmothers We also questioned a couple of customers In the Colonnade thought It was a good Idea to have the Colonnade situated where It was but the usual setback was that the prices were too high Warm atmosphere setup of the stores lent a warm atmosphere to the Colonnade Our Impressions Its a nice place to browse in but we would not want to shop there with Jennifer I m on my soapbox this week about changes in horse breeds wrought by North America What has

you cast your ballot for Town Council I believe it should be with the full under stand of what position respective candidates or office take on important Issues For your consideration I would like to make the following observations With Regional Government for County promised shortly I believe it is crucial to have responsible and concerned representatives at the local level to prepare for the inauguration of this new concept In mun government The incoming Council should adopt a policy of restraint towards further residential development in Acton until the effects of the current boom in housing on town services have been evaluated Although the Town has recently sold the remaining land In the park I believe that Council still has a strong responsibility to encourage new industry to locate In Acton Acton s Centennial is rapidly approaching and members of Council should be prepared to contribute time and effort to ensure that this milestone in our local history Is a resounding success However Council must also be mindful of the financial aspects surrounding Centennial celebrations and attitudes of local citizens must be carefully considered A Councillor should provide an avenue of communication between local government and the individual taxpayer All citizens deserve a fair appraisal of their concerns It time we started demonstrating a positive pride in our community 1 would like the privilege of represent ing you again Council REELECT
