Business and Editorial Office One pickup practical The decision by Hills council to stay with one garbage pick up a week instead of the two usually made from June to practical It is based on the assumption the Georgetown dump site will soon be closed and trucks will be directed towards Oakville Engineer Bob Austin in a report on the subject noted the second pick up during the summer months usually yields less than the first one and some trucks travel to the landfill site half empty He pointed out it would not be economical to haul half or partial loads to The close of the Georgetown dump site means residents will find it virtually impossible to pose of garbage residents took to the dump themselves so a special once a month pick up will be instituted to compensate for it The report shows that Halton must soon make a decision on con of a reclamation plant and incinerator before garbage becomes a monumental problem Commenting briefly Jeanne Brunette J St Denis writes from Sudbury com on the new style of The Tree Press and wants to know if there is anyone Acton and area who might be interested in trading police officer s arm flashes with her son who also collects army security badges and buttons The St Denis address is 0 Grady St Apt A Sudbury P3A2V7 There can be any power shortage in Acton judging by the way lights are in operation at the tennis courts beside the arena Some cold evenings they remain on at full blast with no one on the courts Seems like a waste of power and money when no one is using the facilities Conservation Area operated by the Region Conservation Authority has also become a bird hospital Birds found injured in the wild are brought to Mounts berg by the public When they recover from injuries such as broken wings but cannot be released they are kept on display for educational pur poses That s the place to take injured wild birds A caller this week brought our attention to the trash and refuse and refuse collecting on Willow St just off the main business section and compared it to the fine improvements being made on the smal plaza on Mam St South The contrast in the streets was further heightened by the presence of a dead cat which the caller said had been there for almost a week According to the caller Hills had been informed of the dead cat but it remained there drawing flies and emitting strong odors Residents in subdivision who have been eating dust for the last few weeks from roads waiting for reconstruction after lation of new services last fall will rejoice when work starts on the reconstruction The dust and dirt has mixed well with the wet weather producing a fine film over windows and doors and causing tempers to We rejoice with many others that the federal election is over after over a year of speculation and seven weeks of vigorous campaigning At this writing there were no winners but face it we have to live with the party that wins whoever they Voters who live along Churchill road in the Acton rural area were disturbed because they had received no notice of where they were to vote Apparently it is not common to this area The Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association is also concerned about the revised elections Act and the provisions or lack of them for informing rural residents of such things as enumeration procedures advance polls and polling places There is a definite lack of information provided to rural areas Rural is defined the Act as any community of less than 5 Rumors hard to control Dealing with rumor is part of the newspaper business It is true that for every official factual statement brought to the editors office there are ten rumors whispered in his hearing Sorting the chaff of exaggeration from the germ of fact is seldom easy and often unrewarding No one in the publishing field will deny that rumor is un predictable intangible easy to broadcast hard to control and often difficult to reconcile Rumor is sometimes founded on vivid imagination Rumor too is a byproduct of envy rumor can be like a small rotten nut under a coating of sweet chocolate Rumor may appear as the child of sheer malice lacking sub stance without source in honesty But rumor can be the truth with an inferiority complex This is the reason why rumor cannot be com discredited Humor does not come in packages marked malicious biased truthful or fantastic A newspaper accepts and in vestigates rumor to search out the truth Rumor is based on unproved possibility or presumption oof probability Rumors will persist so long as so termed official statements are either lacking in substance or issued in such a way as to omit fact which should be public in formation Foster Russel in Fourth Estate THIS CARTOON WAS DRAW ELECTION DAY SO CUT MEAD AND STICK IT ON THE PROVIDED People
