The Acton Free Press Wednesday Preserve history It s to be hoped that Hills will join 77 other Ontario com mumties in establishing a Local Architectural Conservation Ad Committee These com designate historic buildings and sites While Actons town hall would of course be included in the list of buildings worth preserving the other building mentioned by historian John McDonald was Place now St Josephs school The lovely building was once a gracious private residence It has housed school children now for many years Crunch and pride Have you noticed those new orange grape and cherry potato chips Believe it or not they re sup posed to be a typically Canadian invention Canadians love chips and all kinds of versions have been created especially for our northern palates In the States the people are much more inclined to add flavor to their chips by way of special dips But Canadians prefer their flavor direct Even though the local stores find there is not a terrific demand for the fruit flavored chips there are plans in the works for blueberry banana lemon and strawberry flavour Also in the near future hot dog flavoured chips and chicken flavored chips In England you can buy packages of crisps with the salt in a separate container Those Chompers chips are doing especially well in Quebec There people flavor thicker and darker chips Ontario and the like their chips lighter and thinner As an offshoot to the snack trend flavored popcorn is also coming onto the market One brand of chips claiming to be natural make the product with potatoes and special oil Canada is the world leader in flavored chips sales Now isnt that something to be proud of Of this and that Deer and foxes are being seen in this area A long time resident recalls that a raft used to cruise on Fairy Lake with a cutting blade mounted beneath it which cut the weeds The weeds would then be raked up dried and burned There are plenty of weeds in the lake this year but then the water level is pretty low People who have wanted a copy of Acton s Early Days for years are delighted to be able to obtain reprints Sales are going well The books are only available at the Free Press office Who could be away from bus iness for four months and return to find everything running well Not many of us But our members of parliament do They dont meet again in Ottawa until October The civil servants are dealing with the nations considerable serious issues But we may have the op now of seeing our members more often in their ridings with the possibility of an election on the horizon The Ex is celebrating its 100th birthday this summer and the grandstand shows are featuring almost all United States per formers What irony Surely a national exhibition should make a major effort every year to present Canadian performers Civic Holiday coming up soon It the one some politicians would have renamed Simcoe Day after the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada Personally we like the good old names Towns like Acton would many years ago pick their own date for civic holiday The stores would close and special ball games and concerts would be arranged Or half the town would go off by tram on a special ex cursion Like Governor Simcoe Civic Holiday has a good tradition It s good to see that less expen sive flights have been arranged so Canadians can more easily travel within Canada It has long seemed to us reasonable to have planes fly both day and night to make use of the expensive equipment and facilities As for noise near the airport solutions are used at other airports Neighboring houses can all be insulated or can all be bought up and replaced with industrial uses If you re planning to travel through or to Quebec on your hoh days this year you would be ad vised to check with your insurance agent before you leave to see how well your insurance policy protects you in that province Quebecs new NoFault Insurance appears discriminatory and detrimental to Quebec residents We under stand some insurance agents are advising motorists not to travel in Quebec and the Hamilton Auto mobile Club is advising members heading for the to go via USA rather than through our neighboring
