The Acton Frw Press Wed You can keep on saving Although there is no longer a paper and glass collection in Acton a caller phoned up to remind conservationists theres hope yet She and her husband have been saving their papers and bottles the same as ever but taking them to some of the regular depots in township These depots take cans too Each depot is open on the first Saturday morning of the month Take your pick hall Eden Mills community hall or the Campbellville Masonic Hall There are also three depots In Georgetown for glass only at McNabb St cans only at St and 95 King St and paper at St These depots are open anytime The Nassagaweya groups want their cans washed and flattened Thats an innovation for Acton who had just become used to saving their papers and bottles There were two reasons for the collections here to participate In conservation and to raise money for the sponsoring groups first the Outers and then the high school band second goals were But people who wish to keep up the first can still do so by joining of other people making their on the first Saturday morning of each month Editorial A hundred years back A hundred ago that when The Free Press started publication Acton was a ullage of a few hundred people There was a weekly market and kept livestock their gardens Politics was a highly debatable issue and churches well filled There were entertainments and clubs were organised It nil comes to life in the earliest issues of the Free Press This week replacing Years Ago we begin a new column Ago Hope readersenjoy it Buckle up slow down

compulsory use of belt reduced fatalities by per cent The S liked the look of stat w hich follow ed their lowering of the speed limit People there abide by it too Whats Ontario waiting for Meanwhile drivers and passengers can only regulate themselves and hope others take the hint Century of care marked have had a close tie with Guelph General Hospital for a full century now The hospital opened 1675 at a total cost of A hundred years later to just one department obstetricscost a total of 674000 There was no operating room in the first hospital and now about 500 operations are performed a year Patients rang a hand bell to summon a nurse Heat came from fireplaces The hospital had its own farm which supplied vegetables and milk Guelph General observed its centennial recently and Acton people look forward confidently to continued care there Of this and that Outoftown people have been asking us what s becoming of the newspapers they t getting because of the postal strike We have them all hoarded here the labelled bags our staff regularly prepares for the post office hope of speeding up delivery All the bags will go over to the post office when the inside workers go back So that s the answer not that it does good putting it a paper that won get delivered Congratulations to the young sters of Acton and district who as usual were well behaved on Halloween Several people relaying

park north of High mi north of I respect right of the gentlemen concerned to express their to the region admire hem for standing up for what they believe to be the protection of agricultural land However I strongly wish to place on record my position as a member ol thi federation I object to the actions of individuals who do have the approval of their membership to pursue a policy that has been defeated a members vote The UFA called a meeting of its members in December 1974 at which time a resolution advocating a form of land freeze was defeated SiSSSJSSSkS made Hal they get from merchant Ben by a majority vote Since that lime there has not been a membership meeting and in my view the UFA officials do not at this time have the approval of its members to support or reject any issue on land use In the of farmers who may wonder what this explosive issue is all about should take time to read the September Land Use Proposal Report by the South Landowners Association This report lays the issue right on the line Farmers and landowners will find the report documented findings a shock to their dreams of a comfortable retirement plan and a realization that their in vestment is not secure from devaluation The report also clearly identifies the Associations authority for its land use policies A well publicized meeting in March to discuss land freeze ended with a vole of against land freeze and votes for it- a clear authority for the Association to continue its policy to oppose land freeze Our Canadian and our local has as its founda tion the principle of rule the When the majority of HFA members vote against a policy then mv opinion no individual or group of individuals have the right under democratic law to use the name of an organization to further their

both extremely trust rating and discouraging It was like dynamo hooked up to a rustv machlni wailed iwo years for donor one which would ha match blood type and all the other tests that must be made to

performed and Shirley was put isolation for 10 days because the risk of infection was so great The normal function of the body is to reject any foreign object and since a trans planted kidney is a foreign body the ten is lo rejection To ensure this doesn happen transplant patients an given massive doses of rejection drugs These also prevent the body from throwing off any other type of infection therefore is extremely low Shirley was home again pounds heavier full of enthusiasm and with her former zest or life Sht had to report once a week to the Kidney Clinic for tests After two weeks her progress was so good that she is asked to lecture Toronto General Hospital s student nurses The week following the lecture however it was discovered there were foreign bodies in her blood and Shirley was returned to the hospital Mechanically the kidney operating properly but after a month of fighting infections the main artery to the kidney burst and it had to be clipped off or Shirlev would have bled to death rejection drugs she had been receiving had ted the incision from healing at a normal rate wiich in turn caused more infection A blood clot formed in her ankle and a portion of this clot broke off travelling to her lureg preventing proper breathing and heart function On March Shirley and I sat together holding hands and reminiscing about the happiness and sorrow of our nwnage She told
