council on a proposed road betwee n the second and third lines to serve the industrial area in the northern part of town but not before a long and confus ed discussion with reeve h h hinton mr hinton a member of county councils road commit- tat opposed the brief on the around the county would nev er approve he felt if any submission was to be made to the county regarding a pro posed wunty road it should be for a link between 25 highway and mill st at the south end of town did the county engineer give any indication the idea wai possible or practical asked the reeve quite definitely answered councillor bob drinkwalter he led us to believe there was no reason why it couldnt be done its the wrong interpreta tion said mr hinton com pletely ridiculbus to expect the county to participate in it it has never been done and ac ton would be the most sorry town in the county if it hap pened were currently paying the county rate which we dont re ceive anything for answered mr drinkwalter theres no reason why members on coun ty council shouldnt back it farther discussion brought a question from councillor tyler asking the reeve if he was con cerned with the county or the town of acton mr tyler said the engineer quoted a text sav ing if the road was connected to a highway it could be count ed on the county roads sys tem deputyreeve oakea asked the reeve why the plan could be dangerous to the town it would make an urban county road answered the reeve all streets in oakville and burlington could be class ed as urban county roads then mayor duby said new legis lation is expected any time on urban road development if we follow the reeves advice and go unprepared theres no value in it the reeve suggested the brief should include both roads at the north and south of town but mr drinkwalter said if there was any chance of getting a road through the industrial park wed rather have it ufa face it he said the county wont con sider two at the same lime i dont want to throw a damper on this said mr hin ton on a county road the county pays the- whole thing a connecting link both partici pants pay part the county does not consider a county road as part of a municipality councillor mckenxie wond ered if acton didnt have joor representatives on county council roads committee if this is approved he said mr hinton can argue very strong ly for us further comment from mr hinton intimated council was illadvised and the clerk said hed like to say flatly and un equivocally that the county en gineer was not confused the reeve objected to mr mcoca- chies comment saying it was not the clerks prerogative to join the discussion the may or said it was the clerks right to advise council mr drinkwalter advised the reeve his committee had gone into the matter thoroughly with the county engineer he hoped the reeve would see fit to support the motion last year in the brief we submitted he didnt support us definitely not said the reeve commenting the people of acton elected him to repre sent them on county council its up to the reeve to sup port us when we present some thing to county council said mr drinkwalter mr hinton disagreed he said when he sat on town council he had the best inter ests of town at heart when sitting on county council he served the best interests of the county in the long run he stated its better for the town if the county is served anything ive done in the county has never been against the best interests of acton deputyreeve f oakes sec ond acton member on county council disassociated himself from the reeves opinion of the role he also impressed

s viuo aiino th vrnlni na well as hv dav home of mrs l c mcouat had needed a text with which to preface his remarks on community colleges he had it in the quotation he used which follows nobody under 55 years of age should ever restrain him self from trying to leant any thing because of fear thai ho is loo old to learn nor should he use fear as an excuse for not learning anything he ought to learn if he falls in learning inability due directly to age will very rarely if ever be the reason certainly the ontario gov ernment was determined to bear out the truth of this state ment by passing legislation in june 1965 for the establish ment of institutions of applied arts and technology after it was convinced that the present technical and business schools were not comprehensive enough for what is required for our rapidly developing economy in other words the basis of these new schools or com munity colleges will be socio economic rather than academ ic and offer more courses in the business and applied arts field by enabling age groups from 18 to middle age of what ever grade level to be enrolled thus mr craighead pointed out these colleges are not to be confused with junior colleges which are preparatory to university to accomplish the establish ment of these colleges the pro vince has been divided into 19 areas which will make it poj slble for 90 per cent of prospeo
