arftlww l w t pagk two the acton free press acton ontarfo who is pushing acton has had not only the publicity of daily newspapers the past week but also the advice of city editorial writers we suppose we ought to be gratefv for this guidance but unfortunately the t1fy editorial rooms are not perhaps the best v 1eeeoef cntarior 7 the presenf is not the first time acton town hall has been barred for the use of outside groups by council prior to 1v55 acton like numerous other towns has the transient traders bylaw which prohibits transient traders wilhout a 100 license fee to operate in acton if groups from out of town want a hall they might well be ex pected to provide it and maintain it or contribute to the rate there appears sufficient hawking andpeddunqin the present dispute for the mat ter to qualify under this bylaw acton town hail was built and is maintained by the people who reside in acton the united electrical radio and machine workers of america 5 douglas street guelph has no

started the decision of council and mayor tyler was ladeaflera care consideration of the back- ground and record of this particular union and after weeks of pamphlet insult on the record of a new industry here the industry had been en couraged to come to acton to purchase a building in whic no empl was available judging by the number of applications there were plenty of people in town and district who required em ployment too maintained through the county there are the ser- vices of the county health unit the childrens aid if there is anything sillyin the whole situation t society the money returned on county connecting it is the publicity and editorial advice acton has secured from the city press about something which is only excusable by their ignorance of the whole affair acton citizens are quite capable of dealing with their own municipal affairs and abi b the decisio o it du e sentatives we might add that every other union estab lished in acton has been granted use of the town hall and park when requested only this past week an acton union held a meeting in the town hall without a word of comment there are all kinds of unions and we are confident actonians when made 3ware of the facts will choose wisely if left to consider the matter without pressure from outside interests sorely the trivial matter of tenting thetpwq hfll ji jdniarja jnunidpaiities- is- not going to be dictated from toronto too if such is the case the municipal councils might as well be abolished since this function and that of setting the tax rate are about the only items free from outside interference- more underground this age might well be termed the pipe laying age oil is being piped across the country of course most municipalities are piped for water supply and sewers indications are that more lines will serve this area supplying natural gas either from local wells or from texas alberta or some place else these havent come into being yet and the premier of ontarioannounces more pipe lines to convey water from trie great lakes for municipali ties situated as far as 60 miles from the lakes its fl vision of the future which may look good to places suchas our town where officials are find ing the ever increasing water demands of present supplies a matter of concern weare truly a cjeneration of fingertip control fttp a tap or a button and we have service like i waving a magic wand jyosf of this magic service j has beevi developed in the last 30 years and we i of the generation who knew the days before these conveniences marvel much mere than a younger generation who have always known these services some of us too who recalt the constant con- fusion of burrowing along the streets do find the digging a bit monotonous one consolat on now- j ever out in the towns and countryside we have i not yet started to put transportation underground paddys pig ontario hog producers have established a co operative which will act as a selling agency for their hogs the action was taken it is said be cause some members were criticalof the fact that united livestock saew has acted as selling agent for the producers for the past two years- was a private compartynand had made substantial profits ijts rather interesting to note that this hew selling arrangement only effects persons who sell hogs for slaughter if you want to keep pigs for pets you are not forced to become a member of the cooperative the pet pig field apparently is still left open for lovers of animals and private companies take another look now that oakville and burlington have grown to be big towns the oakvile record star raises again the argument to have these towns withdraw from- the county and thereby eliminate their levy to maintenance of county institutions we believe when the city incorporation is made by a com munity provision is made for such a step the oakville paper says that town for this year has a levy of 68738 and maintains that for 5800 a month nearly 200 a day they get use 6fa registry off iceltcounty judge and occasional use of the county the other services it gets in return for this healthy payment could be put in your eye without noticeable discomfort lets

that oakville would find comforting to the eye if everyone would take a- real look at the situation u we imagine the rest of halton could get along without oakvilles contribution but could oak ville get all the services it requires for the money it contributes to county maintenance with the decision yet pending on oakville on annexation bid for a big chunk of trafalgar it seems an in opportune time to raise the question of with drawal from the county we believe the opinion expressed by the oakville paper is not indicative of oakviile people generally comment the residents of new
