iff- nun two the acton free press acton ontario thursday september 8 1965 oijjetteiilravei 3j that section of no 25 highway between aaip- lon and paiermojs getting spme patching done this year which is quite ah improvement it is quite evident however that a new surface will have to be applied within a year if the highway from milton to acton to connect with no 7 htgh- way was finished a few years ago this road has had a lot of traffic added many who formerly travelled no 7 into to- rontonow find it much easier to go by no 25 in to the city as a result of the added traffic this older section requires more attention before this section of no 25 is rebuilt how ever consideration will need to be given to the bad curve midway between milton and palermo it would also be much more convenient for all if the section from palermo to the queen elizabeth way was made no 25 and widened and built in accord with highway specifications from time to time there has been talk of mak ing this section a paft of the provincial system ave believe if county council and municipal coun cils w6uld draw this matter to the attention of the department of highways very favorable con sideration would be accorded it is only logical end should be placed now on the request list for halton county so that it will be done in the next year or so r celebrities brought close last frida we attended the press day func tions at the canadian national exhibition it has come to be a time for quite a reunion around that small building known as press headquarters we were a guest at the directors luncheon along with a couple of hundred other representatives of printed publications radio and television folks the banquet hall above the administration building was crowded president harris of the cne announced that next year it was planned to heve a hall twice the size of the present one built in conjunction with a new building for a display of womens work and activities guestspeaker at the luncheon was ed sulli van thermaster of ceremonies at the grandstand show it was an interesting and personal talk in which mr sullivan told of the programs which had brought greatest listener response a pro- giam must stir the emotions and it was quite of fer the things that happened back stage and were not part of the planned program that were inject ed into the stage presentation that brought the greatest audience reaction in our opinion mr sullivan appears to better advantage in person than on television evidence of his popularity was visible wfien the gathering left the building the entrance was thronged with folks on either side of the walk anxious to get a closeup of the tv celebrity mr sullivan was a former newspaper man and during his address pointed out that of a number of papers on which he had worked in other years only two of them were still surviving later suc- ccsses in life are often founded on rising above early failures and this is again shown in his pre sent position at the top of his career in television later in the afternoon mrs dills attended a tea and reception for ladies of the press here an other celebrity was receiving guests with cne officials miss marilyn bell met all who attended mrs dills impression was that this young swim ming star was a most delightful young lady with a charming personality which has been unaffect- ed by alhhepubliclty which has beeri i givenher j i we again saw these current stars at the grand stand show that evening the cisleisagreatexhibition and brings many things to those whb visit it only adverse criticism we have is that for 40 minutes we sat in the grandstand waiting for the start of the per formance- and did not see the opening part in which the armed forces took part its omission was blamed on the failure of the contingent from the navy to arrive due to a breakdown of the bus transporting them we dont know whether they were coming each night from an ocean port or the nearby quarters at hmcs york how ever such obstacles will be overcome when the seaway is fully developed and the fleet can an chor right off shore next l step in progress there is little doubt that the nexftmp merit ancf consequent digging up process will be the installation of gas here natural gas was last week turned on in brampton already the pre liminary skirmishes have been held here it is not couple of years or sooner the question first to be settled is just who the supplier of this com modity will be it is quite apparent that suppliers feel the local market is an important one we have no intention of entering into the question of what company will have the fran chise very judiciously the council has seen fn to have the problem dealt with by the fuel board whatever company secures the franchise will have a fair size problem in making the installa tion councils and boards will have problems enough making and enforcing the terms under which the company will operate availability- of natural gas will be quite a boon not only to householders but also to indus try and will be an added incentive for more in dustries to locate here it is a well acknowledged fact that while electric rates are reasonable heat ing of homes and many functions in industry can be more economical by gas than by electricity in our own plant quantities of metal have to bemelted for the production printing enquiry has shown us that gas heating of the larger metal pots would be cheaper than by electricity then too gas burners are not as expensive and not in need of replacement as often as are electric heat ers on smaller melting pots electricity is much more easily regulated where the fluctuation of temperatures is important there are many in dustries which are established here now or may soon be seeking location here which will look upon the town more favorably if both gas and electricity are available and district association for re tarded children on september 22 their association was formed last september and now has
