The Acton Freo Press Wednesday Sopt 13 Editorial Page Ugly elms With so many government grants for special schemes from book publishing to hockey pads you d think by now there would have been some tax cash for the removal of dead elms on private property The once stately trees the victims of the fatal Dutch elm disease punctuate the southern Ontario countryside They are eyesores in all directions around town As the dead trees stand longer they become grey and bleak and have a certain picturesque effect outlined against the sky or healthy greenery But the dramatic effect any reason to keep them Obviously the task of cutting these trees is difficult for a single farmer or land owner Trees on governmentowned roadsides have been cut but the ones on private property should get the same treatment It requires trained workmen with the proper equip ment Like ugly hydro wires and towers the trees have become so common we seem to ignore them Petition on unity While we were at the Canadian Community Newspapers Assoc convention in Vancouver a speaker urgently asked us to join in circulating a People to People Petition for Canadian Unity We have two sheets here and admittedly don know what to do with them The sheet begins In a spirit of understanding and to better meet the ongoing needs and hopes of all our people we the undersigned from British Columbia to Newfoundland invite Quebecots members of our Canadian family to remain Canadian and to continue building with us this magnificent Canada Honorary chairmen are listed including for Ontario the famed Mr Canada John Fisher Copies many easily be photocopied if anyone is especially interested in carrying out this request There will also be a copy on the front desk at the Free Press for anyone who would like to sign No one is laughing Why is it a few selfish and siderate are allowed to walk off their jobs and create total chaos in a city of more than two million people not to mention the surrounding area The Toronto Transit Commission went on strike Monday morning for among other things more money In doing so hey also forced lates GO Transit and Gray Coach off the highways Hundreds of thousands of people are in convenienced annoyed fed up and in all likelihood late for work if they even made it Thousands of extra cars lined Toronto streets in a tangled mess Hitchhikers bicyclists and pedestrians were out in full force crowding the already too crowded streets Getting to work in the morning in Toronto is hectic enough without extra cars and no buses or subways However Toronto residents are not the only people inconvenienced by the strike Local people on GO to take them from Guelph to Toronto or vice versa and any points in between have also found themselves out in the cold Some unaware of the con between the companies stood at on Highway Monday morning waiting for a bus which never arrived Businesses depend on bus to get parcels delivered to them or others This too has stopped On fluoridation In Milton some townspeople and councillors are furious at the region high handed decision to fluoridate their water They are proud of their pure water and don want chemicals added Back to school Things just the same at the Free Press news office since lively Jennifer has left to study journalism at Sheridan College She started with us as a school pro ject part time and then the past summer continued her part time involvement as she learned more aspects of Her help The drivers want more money Who t This goes for all strikers not just the TTC employees One driver on CI IK radio Monday morning as saying he didn t feel bad going on strike They t care when they went on strike and in him Good grief Let s hope everyone doesn have such a childish at titude If so this country is in worse shape than anyone ever thought Who is they the man was talking about Was it Air Canada The post office Who They mean all people But it was not all people who went on strike so why try and punish all people If the man wants to get back to those who in him let him fly CP or telephone instead of mailing a letter Why should someone with this narrowminded attitude be able to throw an entire city and neighboring towns into chaos t Mr Driver reali7e people will be just as mad at the as he was at Air Canada or whoever he was talking about People are fed up with strikes especially when the strikers who are public servants don care about the public they are serving There are almost one million people unemployed in this country Ask them what they think of strikers In Acton there seems little to the decision made for us Our dentists all feel the decision is wise If you have a comment how about a letter to the editor was invaluable to us and she will be much missed especially in the coverage of young people s events Cartoonist Dennis Blake has also returned to Sheridan to take his second year in cartooning His talents were shared with Free Press readers during the summer as well Of this
