Canada and you can beat Acton for a small friendly town It a the greatest as far us I am con But what ore they doing to our Town week there is a new way to stab us In back Last weeks Free Press mentioned the suggestion that we limit mourners at the Now really It was bad enough thai went up simply to conform with Georgetown Just wait till our next tax bill comes out in May Some people say you can fight City Hall Hamilton tried and failed so hat can This is defeatist altitude At least we can rune the of pulling up right I challenge every irate citizen lo write a Honourable George Kerr and tell him exactly how you feel about Regional This would at least let him know how many he will not get in next election 1 agree lhal we may not be to fight Regional Government but we can have It without Georgetown There is no way any politician could per mc otherwise Please Join in writing lo Hon A Kerr Solicitor General Floor Hearst Block Bay Street Toronto Ontario Yours truly He Regional Government County Dear Sir This may be one of many letters you will If everybody would express their feelings on the socalled Town of Hills If ever there was divided town this is it How any of your learned collogues could visualize a Town comprising two self sufficient established towns is beyond most people imagination You arc familiar with this area or should be Surclv vou were consulted Mr when Acton was set up and I remind you you are representing Acton as well as Georgetown Georgetown being the larger naturally mor representatives and therefore arc ruling Ihe show For instance the town office is in Georgetown the clerk treasurer and general were appointed from the Georgetown staff also the recreational director art familiar with the fire chief episode- Georgetown s chief tost out on a vote so they mode two chiefs Economically speaking does that make sense Acton has their own Community Centre quite sufficient for Actons needs Why should we help pay for million dollar complex in Georgetown Acton built their own library a few years ago why should we pay for one in Georgetown Acton was their cemetery at much lower rates lhan In Georgetown our rates for burial plots have been raised to conform with Georgetown s who incidentally operated at a deficit Inst year Our doR tnx has been raised to conform our icetime rates for the arena arc going to be raised Clubs in

Minister Whclon as saying price increases for dairy products will not unduly hurt food Consumers won much After announcing that butler prices will rise to ftlc a pound Domestic dairy product prices were the in the world Whether the price of lb Is proper one Is for the consumer to decide but I am concerned with Ihe truthfulness of the last sentence domestic dairy product prices were the cheapest in he world This is statement that the Minister cannot prove When in New Zealand in October my wife and I enjoyed fresh butler not cold storage at lb and no one could imagine the New Zealand government would their fnrmers by lb to make this possible Minister is in correct in his statements Yours truly G A Principal explains request Dear Sir I to correct the report in the issue of the tree Press of Wednesday March lffft of the visit of I Singleton Director The Board of to Robert I Public School on March 12 1974 In the report it is stated The press was allowed In take pictures but asked to leave for the discussion it Mr Singleton request This implies thai Mr Singleton asked the press to leave and this he did not do It wis I who the rec Press to the school to give Mr Singletons visit press coverage This I did without prior con with Mr Singleton On his at the school and on bein informed of the presence of the press expressed the opinion the presence of press reporters might inhibit an open frank exchange of viewpoints between the teachers and himself and this was to be the format of his visit thi effectiveness of the progrnm would be lowered I had not foreseen this but on reflecting on Ihis view I concurred with it Having reached this conclusion I the reason to the reporters for not avlng them attend the discussion and staled that I would provide the press with resume of the meeting I suggested that if they wished to do so they might take any photographs they wanted prior lo the commencement of the discussion session This was in fid what was done In conclusion it was I who invited the 1- ree Press to send a reporter to the school it w is I who asked the reporter to leav trust this will clarify the matter and place the responsibility where it rightfully belongs on me and not Mr Singleton you for publishing this clarification and for your interest in providing press coverage of activities here at Robert Little School Yours sincerely Allen Principal Denies bully tactics in schools The Dear Sir I am concerned with the letter of March from Rev K Campbell in which he re fers lo bully tactics in the schools Bully tactics arc nil too prcv in res lo any parent who foes Hare to agree with the system There are channels which arc normally used and being responsible for the day to day operation of the schools 1 would hope that no parent would hesitate to discuss problems with his child teacher with the Thousands of parents hive followed this route with good effect Teachers hope to earn the of parents and val uc satisfied customers number of par with memories of their own school days may well be somewhat reluctant to approach educators need never hold hick Mr Campbell accuses the Director Mr Singleton of bullying him In a meeting in the Board I was present at that meeting and did not detect any bullying retrospect it seems fortunate that mere were others present with independent judgment At one point in the discussion the v lews of the Rev Bruce McLeod Moderator of the United Church as expressed in the press were mentioned Mr Campbell countered that these particular views of the were totally irresponsible Mr Campbell has a special meaning for some of his words I can only conclude that with Mr Campbell there is no room for honest or difference of Superintendent of Academic Operations Cancer campaign starts this month which we will be paying more and We do not a local for the Town office wego through the switchboard In Georgetown Yet this is costing a month and llicy say the system Is obsolete already and are a much more and expensive one May I ask why the iron representatives proposals for Region Government wen ignored insofar as this was concerned while Milton got their every wish I could conceivably favour Regional Government if we did not have two towns so far apart both mileige and in ideas Georgetown is big Town expensive Acton is small Town conservative not C lassurejou Why not Region with Acton of that borders on Acton and part Nass Rawcya that part Milton wont I feci confident thin would be much more economic for tin taxpayers of Adon more self silisfylngas we do not wish to be conformists
