Priestner replies to Renaissance The Free Press Wed November A mother remembers her sons Remembrance Day Nov A mother remembers her sons I remember them not as they may have died at sea on land or in the air a human torch a mangled mass or a sodden frame but as small babes on my knee I recall the wonder of their daily growth the dreams their father and I had for them remember them as sturdy six year olds remember with amusement my anxiety and pride when they started off to casting off in one short day their baby ways I remember at the half way age of ten striving to follow their father but still looking to me for a small boy share of love and attention I remember them those last few years at school their triumphs and failures their first real date and all that goes with youth their gay laughter and smiles the secret tears they shed when they had to leave and marched away to war with their How can 1 think of them as dead when memories live and this day remembrance day is mine alone as remember them Mrs A I Ferryman Another Acton service eroded November 1974 Dear Sir Although ceased to exist officially with the inception of Regional Government it appears that It still exists as an region at least in the minds of the majority of our councillors While I hesitated to object publicly when one by one our services have been eroded by the regional system I find It difficult to accept the jeopardizing of Acton children lives Since school opened In September the crossing at Mill St and Willow St has been unattended by a crossing guard a large part of the time wonder we have to have a child killed there before anything Is done about the situation We have been informed by Mr Prltchard that it is really not customary to have a crossing guard at an intersection where there is a crosswalk but this is an extremely busy corner on the highway where motorists are not noted for obeying the law allowing pedestrians to cross What do we need to do to get protection for little ones on their way to school We only need three crossing guards In all of Acton and all of them are at intersections on the highway Every something we are losing because Georgetown t have it therefore we can cither For years Acton financed its own business didn t ask for help from anyone and had services superior to those in neighboring towns Now suddenly our taxes are going up and we are losing services the most important of which Is care for our children lives Just what is regional government giving us in return We have always done things for our selvesthe Band built the Music Centre the firemen built the the Scout public subscription put the community centre on the arena the library was our centennial project built largely by subscription by Acton citizens who arc also helping to build our swimming pool by the same method Now we are to be allowed to help the neigh boring communities to get the government to do these things for them thanks a lot We had a good town here a little smelly sometimes maybe but nothing is perfect Now we feel that wc are being trampled on simply because wc don t have much weight in numbers on council We are powerless to do anything about the situation but if a child is killed or In because of the attitude of our regional administrators hope that the people of Acton will finally be aroused enough to raise a real uproar somewhere where it will be heard and heeded Garbage collection we can manage without but not our children My inflations beat I m completely deinflated My balloon is on the ground They taken back my goodies pack There nothing to be found I lost my credit rating And I lost my good job too Now the I C don care for me 1 don know what to do The shelves are all piled up with goods But unemployment stopped my glut I m in a stew with what to do My Inflation has been cut I never gained by sinking I should have saved some dough instead Then when things got tough 1 d have enough To buy a loaf of bread The more I got the more I paid The taxes took my gain To quench their thirst they got their s first And knocked me down again I m not versed in economics But one thing I learned Is true With inflation beat 1 must compete To earn buck or two But now I m broke beyond repair With my credit all run out To slop my greed what I don need 1 11 have to do without Join protest Willy urges Dear Sir I hope all the people

SERVICE Milton Martin St 8782886 Mr Ken Campbell Chairman The Halton Renaissance Committee Box Milton Ontario Dear Mr Campbell I am writing in response to your letter of September 1974 in which you Indicated your concern regarding a policy of allowing students to leave he classroom when certain topics are discussed Your statement that It Is a copout on the part of the teacher is not true If anyone is to blame for Ihe policy it must be the school or the total system and nol in dividual teacher We certainly agree that the teacher has a responsibility respect the feelings of all students and act with propriety The Schools Administration Act states that a teacher must teach respect for morality and let us hope this Is always so But Is this really the problem to which you refer My children may well be offended if chemical means of birth control arc ad v oca ted as a socially acceptable approach to a real problem Many Christians would not be upset I am sure Many Christians also believe in abortion as being an act in twentieth century Canada This also is a question on which many Christians violently disagree What then should school teacher do Avoid the issues where all Christians and Jews are not in accord That w be a copout These social problems arc real and loday student more than any In past must come to a solution In Ms own mind concerning them The question of how to deal with the possible answers to these problems Is the dilemma faced by the teacher and ourselves It is hoped thai each solution can be discussed with propriety but if students feel they would rather avoid the topic then I support heir right to do so Another question comes to mind Respect for moralitv and religion must not be limited to only those of our society who hold these beliefs There are increasing numbers of non Judaeo- Christian believers in Canada Surely a Hindu or Buddhist should be given equal rcspcctbyapublicschool system Hence if certain Judcaeo Christian beliefs ire being taught which may be against the religious tenets of others must be allowed to either present Ihcir views or to opt out of the class The Canadian Hill of Rights precludes discrimination because of religious belief the option has lo exist It is the duty and not merely the right of the school to leach those moral values upon which Ihe laws of land are based While most of these values originate in the many books of the Bible they ore not necessarily IhcdomainofreliginnfnCinada today We must lench our youth vitucs associated with living in harm my with one neighbour If we fall in this academic achievement becomes a hollow victory In conclusion let me say thai it is our hope that Renaissance In the teaching of values Is taking place In Ontario Too long have avoided many basic issues because of possible controversy A educated person can surely have a point of view different than ours without being offended when wc speak in his presence Thank you for your continued interest in Trapper
