why the difference thfe decision to incorporate the name helton in the two provincial ridings rather than ths former designation by towns was a logical and sensible change the provincial redistribution tor voting pret ty well splits halton in half this split will not be nearly as serious as the complete fragmenta tion proposed by the federal redistribution the provincial plan basically places burling ton and nassagaweya with a horizontal strip iiv eluding acton in the halton west riding oak- ville milton esquesing and georgetown end up in a vertical split to be known as halton east what continues- to mae us is why the provincial and federal plans of redistribution could not parallel each other the federal re distribution places parts of halton in three rid ings none of which is even close to ft areas to be applied provincially the confusion in the votersminds mat will result particularly if two elections were called close together will be dif ficult to penetrate we had understood the provincial and fed eral action on redistribution was being coordin ated but if the two proposals applied to halton are any indication there cotild surely have been no coordination i aap harry harley has indicated he has re ceived little mail on the subject and assumes the federal proposals are acceptable maps of the proposal have been as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth and when they appeared they were published in daily newspapers with no specific area followups in the local publications where they might have gained more reasonable atten tion if you can get hold of a map of the federal proposals it will not be difficult to see the com plete fragmentation indicated if you are not interested just forget about it but if you are interested it seems about time dr harley got some letters or post cards on the subject write him in care of the parliament buildings it may not yet be too late proceed with ubratt another red rwtrlrta boon injected into actors centennial library prooct this time the mjgejaatlon has been made that a downtown stow b ronfd on a long- term leofio nnd tlr llhrory be located at the millmain minor it is our opinion that such a imovi would not be in llif host interests of acton wo tool there has boon enough delay already and if we are to hnvo a new library to mark canadas first onehundred years its time to stop hunting for obstacles and excuses there is no doubt in our minds that a sep arate building to house actons library facilities is long overdue there is also ho doubt in our minds that n library operated to meet thi re- quirenients pf our citizens is going to cost money to build and operate the only way open to meet the cost of construction and operation is through municipal funds when the project was first suggested we felt the capital cost of the build- ingcould be raised through public subscription this approach has not proven feasible and now the only way open is through municipal financ ing the recent st john report on the quality of libraries in ontario should come as no shock to the people of acton for too rnany years the library in acton has subsisted on the leftovers of municipal funds it is apparent that provincial grants to libraries will be increased- it is also apparent that acton will not benefit from any grant increases until minimum standards of the acton library service are improved if council is going to meet the requirements of acton residents for improved library service the time for action is now without any more red herrings drawn into the discussions canadian facts readers digest which has been accorded canadian citizenship so far as magazine publish ing is concerned hasrpt3dcd an almanac that purports among other things to deal with can ada but manages to say that the capital that fell to the british on the plains of abraham was montreal this may be resented by people who live in quebec but they may not be as angry as people who live in toronto a city and provin cial capital that is not mentioned ar all ontario opts out the announcement of the ontario medical services insurance plan and its multitude of benefits is being proclaimed through comic strips in the newspapers and show biz personalities on the air waves it leaves us cold no place in all the glossy bunk emanating from queens park is any suggestion of increased funds for medical research it is ridiculous that in our affluent society with our cradle to the grave social security research funds are raised through seal and doortodoor financial campaigns we do not want to minimize or belittle the work of and accomplishments of such fine groups and campaigns as the cancer society the heart foundation the easter and christmas seal campaigns or the march of dimes but we do have some concern that medical research is de pendent on voluntary contributions it is our opinion that this research is too im portant to be limited through another 6ntario government voluntary plan 73l w old fsaifj
