Acton underway BUT will be the finest VOTE DAWE The first time you meet Gord Dawe you get the impression that he Is a sincere individual later encounters not only confirm your original impression they convince you that he will be an excellent regional council member for ACTON Ward was born in Toronto moved to Speyslde at the age of years He attended the local schools and then continued his education at University Allowing for the years attending University and working on behavioural programs at the Lakehead Psychiatric Hospital Gordy has lived In Acton and the Immediate area Gord may be new to the political scene but he is certainly not new to the area and many of the problems that Actonians feel helpless to combat He maintains that a direct rapport with the people of this community and the local government is a must He feels thatjhe local people are not truly represented and that the purpose of a councillor Is to keep an open mind and represent the wishes of the people of Acton A major objective is to inform the citizens of Acton Ward 1 as to exactly what Is happening to their Town of Acton since Regional Government hds TAKEN OVER their heritage and conveniences Cannot spending be limited and local taxes held to a minimum Many people feel that the coat of recreation for their children Is unfair Certainly the proposal of the new extravagant municipal building is not needed We should all be wary as to the site of a new garbage disposal centre for fear It be In our back yards It may seem that Regional Government is here to stay and after 3 years of being part of Halton Hills are the people of Acton satisfied Are you satisfied If not VOTE GORD DAWE REGIONAL COUNCILLOR DECEMBER 6TH 1976
