OUR READERS WRITE Made voice heard In last week Acton Free Press Eva described Bert Hinton 1977 Member Halton Board of Education a handsome man who has cultivated a high profile I agree As a responsible citizen parent taxpayer and Board member continue to be interested in returns for both short and long term as education is so very portent to development and format of our Society Unfortunately many taxpayers are not aware that considerably more than of our lax dollars arc being used for Education In my experience I am quite familiar with practices and procedures used by high priced massive administration and teachers organizations to influence and brain wash the Board and the public in the adoption of policies and programmes to extract more dollars from the public purse Management therefore is of prime In this the organizational chart should be complied with Therefore it takes strong characters who arc not discouraged to face the storm From Mrs Sansom letter there is no doubt that Bert as a Board Mem bcr has made his voice heard Unlike some others he has not sat silently by and while not all issues have been won viable seeds have been planted In this regard I have watched Bert in action He is sin cere and objective His initiative has stimulated discussion There has been a change in attitude One would conclude therefore that continuation of s service would be desirable and helpful particularly as he has now become more familiar with the many problems and issues hopefully with possible solutions ft E Oct 30 1978 Blood donors clinic The Acton Red Cross

glass sits by the sink What in the world is a person to think Blame the town fathers who crammed down our throats The rusty new well now fluoride and no chance to vote Even the falsies I wear in my mouth Are getting so brown you would think they been south No toothpaste on earth will remove that brown stain And fluoride won I help that rust just remains My poor stomach revolts every time I get thirsty And I wonder how long I can live with old Rusty To eliminate rust they will add something else And what will the new chemicals do to my pulse Today we all live but how often sigh Good Water to drink Ha Those days have gone by Help Help cries the town please end our woes Where we will end up the Devil only Before we went Regional we weren in this mess Please ask the Good Lord this poor town to bless The Matriarch Concerned about committee Acton Ontario October 1078 Dear Editor I wonder what candidates for council have to say about the regional land division committee A number of area residents are concerned about It Here are some of the problems 1 Lack of objective equitable criteria 2 Focus on prohibit iveness rather than on inspection of logical alternatives Inequitable application of precedent Members exercise license to make subjective personal appraisals of motives Bias against free enterprise G Lack of clarity about which by laws govern land severance Bias In favour of long term residents Lack of credibility of members as experts in areas of concern Reliance on references to the draft regional plan which is not yet legal 10 Bias against farm rural residents Problems like this force members into untenable positions and cause them to form decision making habits that they must continually have to rationalize The fact that a local member of the L C is run ning for regional council poses a thorny problem Caught between the devil and Ihc deep blue sea voters will have to decide whether to leave this candidate where he is or to reinforce the inclusion of L C type behaviour in an even wider sphere of in fluence What we need to aim for in all phases of government is decision making that is based upon criteria and processes that are just and logical and show concern for the sensitivities of people Yours truly Roger J Wear a seat belt Aunt Edna says Arc your seat belts done up properly per cent of people who do wear belts could do a better job in adjusting them for a proper fit Injuries from seat belts usually result from incorrect adjustment eg lo loose too high or twisted However these injuries are minor when compared to the Injuries which occur when vehicle cupanls are not belted Children over the age live years or so lbs must wear a seal belt since children are inclined Try and make it a fun thing to do by placing her or him firmly against the back of the scat Belt the lap snug and ask him or her to try and slide a hand behind If here is a space tighten the belt a little more and ask her or him to try and squish your hand behind A small cushion is excellent In helping to fit the belt lower and enables the child to see out of the windows thus being amused Children who arc less than 55 inches loll should not wear the shoulder bell since rides too high on the neck The back seal of a car is the safest place for a child particularly If there is a centre lap belt The shoulder belt should be worn by all persons over

successful there will be fewer salmon in the Credit River next year but more in Ontario Natural Resources Minister James A C Auld reports Twenty four thousand chemically pro grammed at the ministry s Chatsworth hatchery had a safe non toxic chemical dripped continuously into their water supply from early April to mid May Maple District biologist Howard Smith said these fish were stocked this spring in Lake Ontario off Clarkson as the second step ir the experiment He said hat when the spawning urge brings them back to the TorontoHamilton area in the fall of 1979 as adults a small stream a short distance from the Credit will be treated and the salmon will home in on the chemical We will block the stream leaving milling about offshore where they will be available to trolling said Mr Smith Commenting on the project Mr Auld said that keeping salmon in Lake Ontario should relieve angling pressure on the busy Credit River and help rainbow trout to become established there The experiment being attempted by our fisheries staff has been in both Wisconsin and Michigan and we hope to have positive results when he fiml phase is rcathid next yeir the minister added The illness
