The Acton Free Press Wod June Thanks in advance The first of July lb one of those holidays thats supposed to be tele on the actual date like Good Friday and New Years Day But there a lot of confusion and arums industries and stores are making arrangements It created a problem for the of the lonumimh da in the park They have settled on the Tuesday observance though not all the working people of town will be able to attend The program will be bigger and better than ever this year with a full day of activities lTianks in advance to the group who are arranging a terrific day for everybody A chance to donate Let look forward to a good turnout at the blood donor dime next Its being arranged by a local group of volunteers headed by Henry Kroes for the Red Cross They are urging every one to attend There been a blood donor clinic here for some time now People wishing to donate have been welcomed at the Red Cross clinic in Georgetown But now we hae our own again Let make it a success The organizers have passed on a few regulations which should be known by potential donors Minimum weight is 110 pounds minimum age 17 for males and 18 for females maximum age The last must be about three months ago and no one may give moie than four donations a year No donations should be given during pregnancy and you must be well recovtrcd from colds flu or boils Don t take drugs before going to donate blood not even aspirin tcr you have taken aspirin blood platelets loose their function to stop bleeding You re out of the running as a donor if you have hepatitis heart disease epilepsy cancel or have had a stroke If you re wondering go to the clinic and ask the technician or nurse All donors are very much need Watch for each other Last Friday marked the last day of school for the year for Acton elementary and secondary school children until September With the summer vacation come children playing in the streets at all fames of the day With this come the unexpected balls flying out onto the streets children darting out from between parked cars and bicycles riding side by side As usual the motorists arc asked to be on constant guard for such things However the children should also be made aware of the fact the drivers need time for their bodies to do what their minds say and it takes valuable time to even notice the unexpected in the first place Motorists cannot read minds Horns are sometimes necessary to warn a child of the looming danger approaching Some young get angered by this noise using the argument that he or she was not doing anything wrong Meanwhile the bicycle might have swerved ever so slightly causing the driver to wonder what the biker was going to do Sometimes horns are necessary to get someone out of the way off the middle of the street and the biker still looks annoyed Little is thought of what would happen if the motorist were going faster and could not go around the child because of an on coming car Teenagers and even adults are also guilty of glaring at motorists So motorists slow down be aware But children and teenagers obey the rules You don t own the road any more than the driver does And he can hurt you a lot more with his car than you can hurt him with your bike or ball Discouraged With governments preaching restraint its encouraging to see that the proposal to send eight regional councillors and two works staff members to New Orleans for a convention was roundly dis couraged at the regional council meeting The final outcome of the idea uncertain but obviously the majority of councillors werent happy with the idea of such a large contingent to the American city Ottawa Report By Dr Frank Phllbrook HALTON MP June has been in especially active month in the riding of Ha It on have been it once both hard pressed to find the time and delighted as well to attend the minv events that have been held In the com unities throughout Ihe riding As I mentioned in this letter before these events give me the opportunity to get to know the riding even better and to meet many constituents Instance I joined a host of citizens in the annual or W around the harbour area Later in the day I was in Georgetown to atlend the opening the new Racquet Club and then over to Ontario I Leader Bob Nixon farm near to his Old Tyme Picnic which Prime Minister attended And then back to to Art in the Park festivities at Coronation Park The next day I officiated at ihe Kelso Music Centre string quartet concert at Oakville Public Library More recently my wife Midge and I at tended the annual lawn for senior alliens at Centennial Manor in Milton I was at the official opening of the Second and later in the day officiated at the opening of the new senior citizens apartments on Ontario Stxwt Through Central Mortgage and Housing the federal government made available for these apartment units which eventually will be expanded to units Later hit day ittendcd a reception for a senior chartered bank executive and hid i opportunity to with businessmen was joined bv Senator at Hilton riding s I associittonannuil meetingat which by the wav i very minded and hard working Walter wis riding president The following day met with students ami teachers of Grade 13 at Oak ilte high school to discuss my first and answer questions I was surprised but with the of as asked the students They were well informed and will prepared for the session and also struck me as being very keen to leirn more the national international issues with which is 1 wis up to Erin in the northern part of riding last Saturday to ittcnd the barbecue and Tor Bob Nixon and local provincial can didate Ted Sibbold of The point of all this as I indicated is that these events not only bring an P into the mam and aspects of the life we people of Ho lion live they also expose me to many people give mo and Ihem an opportunity to talk and discuss our current concerns IS A thing of the present as is illustrated by the comparison of the expanding subdivision against the nearby countryside heightens the ci edibility of the town s growth as just a few ago the area in the background was open fields and is now cluttered with houses Sugar and Spice by bill
