i -v- wx thank you well continue apparently mayor cook is unhappy that he free prets pfubllihei the fact that acton citizens band vacated the town hatl in the face of a 7 nightly rental fee imposed by council we take it that he objected to our inter viewing the president of the band and that he is very much opposed to seeing the coun cil put in a poor light he has even made a rather preposterous suggestion that it is too bad council can t control what is printed such things have been tried many times before in many other countries and always with disastrous results to the freedom of those countries admittedly this newspaper has to sell newspapers that should be a fairly apparent fact very similar to the suggestion that coun ci is have to impose taxes its nothing to be ashamed of or scoffed at but if mayor cook would care to sluriy the 83 year history of the acton free press he wtll not find at any time such base ourn alism as that devoted to the sensationalism he is trying to imply we dislike very much attacks on an integrity we ealously guard if the mayor and his council dislike be rng put in a poor light he should remember that the newspaper s only chore is to provide the illumination and not the staging undoubtedly w will be accused of mis istrrterpretat or jpls ttsks quotation but this has become a popular pastime and a convenient exit we feel certain the mayor and acton council have more important and progressive things to do than be critical of reports of their decisions along the line of such subjects we might wonder just what type of organizatiorv is lo replace the public utilities commission that voters agreed to abandon at the end of the year despite our editorial objections that no concrete replacement had been outlined we might wonder whether a town manager system is in the making whal is to happen to the present staff and how much larger the new staff might be we wonder about the maintenance of such buildings as our arena our band stand and our town hall we might wonder if the town hall facilities since the necessity of a fee will be any more widely used for such municipal events as the annual nomination meeting if not we wonder if the band might not ust as well have been allow ed to continue to use it m the face of such little other use we might wonder about ihe progress en a remedy to get the original town spring back into use through elimination of pollu tion that took it out of operation yes there are many ihings for an acton mayor and council to be kept busy on and we ii continue to operate the free press until they have a lilllo respite in their numerous its history now ontario s provincial election is now his tory election posters still on posts are the only evidence of the combat and the ravages of the weather will eliminate them over a period of time hallon voters have returned stanley hall for his sixth term in the provincial legislature under a progressive conservative govern ment premier frost will be headipg that gov crnment facing a strengthened majority the liberals in doubling their numbers from 11 to 22 seats and the ccf with five over the former three seats will be a more effective opposition group il is expected with their increased numbers under 50 per cent of helton s 48 000 eligible voters cast ballots in the contest il was encounng to see the three parties leaders returned to provide the direction of the party action in the new legislature all ave capabilities which may contribute to an effective type of government few supporters of any party are anxious to see overwhelming majorities given any one party although a working majority is es senlial to the progress of legislation the re duction in the majority of the conservative party in this election then should assist in keeping all groups on their toes here in halton despite a quiet campaign the election itself proved an interesting con test with the close returns leaving the de cision in some doubt until most polls were heard from mr hdll s win was conceded about 10 45 by the liberal candidate despite earlier and in pirl erroneous reports of a liberal lead a victory celebration was not long in the making when the decision became clearer but the smoke of the event has cleared and our congratulations to mr hall en his win and to mr mullirjjjpd mr henry on tne campaigns they conducted thit mide tlir halton
