pictures depicting the history of acton this waa brought to our attention again this week when joe hurst brought in en old sports picture for wee in this newspaper me mentioned that tho recreation committee when he was secretary was then advocating show case in the community centre to- display old photos a booth a the fall fair the same year attracted a great deal of attention from people who spent much time look ing up familiar faces and gating on the viiegea of the pioneers who shaped the town and district as time goes by and younger peo ple replace those who were familiar with old pictures around the house take on less importance often what is a priceless heritage is thrown away mistaken for something worthless there ere many people in acton and district with pictures end other pioneer documenta who would like to see them preservpd in a place where they are eccesfcible for future generationi to see the recreation committees idee of a large case in the community centre certainly had its merit especially for pictures depicting sports and recreation perhaps the library or some other muni- cipal building would be more suitable for pictures of a different theme as centennial year comes so a close it is something worfh thinking about and a worthwhile project for any in terested group or service club cxetcim aty te heatfi tiredness and fatigue which plagues nearly every canadian adult each day are unnecessary and prevent able this state of belownormal health which predisposes to subsequent sick ness and disease can be attributed primarily to lack of oxygon being car ried to the active tissues dr ft j shepard of the depart ment of hygiene university of toronto reported in the medical host says that at least 90 par cent of adults in canada can stand to have this tygen transfer improved a maxlmuetef only is per cent to 25 per cent of canadian adults can be classed moderately fit or better aaya dr shepard in addition to poor exercise and growing inactivity the major causa for the belownormal health standard is diet which in turn controls body fat and atherosclerosis deterioration of the body tissues often starts in the teens in canada whereat h starts much later in countries where people te de pendent for survival on hard physical work the prominence of arterial patholo gy in the illness and mortality figures should prompt more family physicians to advocate exercise program for their patients at each general physical exam ination this may be walking or it may be such exercises as stepping up and down on an 18 in high stool 20 or 3d times a minute for gradually lengthening periods of time each week the obvious improvement in pulse rate and in general well being alone can be gratifying to the patient says dr shepard continued mild exercises especially if combined with normal or betownormal weight can be much mora afieetive and beneficial than ex ercising to exhaustion overwei people however should exorcise only

stewart and his wife luncheon was held there tuesday to introduce his book above a corner of the living- room staff photo sugar and spice by bill smiley as gilbert and sullivan tunefully pointed out a good many years ago a policemans id is seldom a happy one and it certainly hasnt grown any happier in the interim as even a casual glance through the newspapers will tell you ev erywhere policemen are unhappy in the cities they talk of strike action in small foams they resign right and left usually in a cloud of recrimination why axe they led up for a whole lot of reasons its only surprising so many of them stay at it first of all they are poorly paid this fine old tradition probably dates back to the days when a cop was a dumb flatfoot intky to get a job with some security in volved during the depression the town cop was envied because he got a pay check be it ever so bumble every week secondly they must cape with continued interference from elected officials or loc al big shots it might be the chairman of the police commission more concerned with paring his police budget than with the quality of the policeman or it might be the fellow who belongs to the same service club as the mayor and expects special treatment whether its a parking ticket or drunk driving charge this is hard to take another thing that bugs them even those who like the work is the hours working holidays special details calls in the mid dle of the night aad of course theres the job itself much of it is routine even boring every thing in triplicate but a saturday night can be a nightmare how would you like to cope with a drunken fight at a dance or a stolen car driven by a kid at 100 miles an hour or a couple of plastered prostitutes belting you about the head and ears wth their handbags cheered on by the mob or a call from delighted neighbours at 2 am telling you that joe scheiss is beating the brains out of his wife eslael 1st te right a orasj0atae aiealrkarrelatrehrt jeoa fjttra mt jetadaemh

long term growth is clearly visible on the rtonaaontreal runs policy for some centres obviously is different than ir is for acton and smaller towns like it and thats on top of the ordinary stuff petty thefts gang rumbles car crashes street beatings jeering hoodlums but i think all these things are second ary theres something else that has turn ed the placid policeman of even 20 years ago into a mean cop and thats the attitude of the people its fairly new and very nasty i notice it with dismay among teen agers even the decent ones sneer at the fuzz as they term our stalwart guardians of the law i dont know where they got lt- perhaps from movies and television but they seem to think the policeman is some sort of brutalized gestapo type look- lng for trouble a few policemen of course foster this attitude there are always a few bullies in uniform who release their own psychologi cal perversions but they are a tiny min ority usually curbed by their peers even more disturbing perhaps is the number of adults who will stand around and watch a policeman being beaten up and en joy it theres always of course been war be tween the police and the populace but it used to be a goodnatured funwar you tried to circumvent the law whether it was swiping apples or beating the speed limit if you were caught you grumbled a bit lied like a trooper and probably got off with a warning and everybody was happy now its open and blatant battle its vicious and ugly it is fanned by newsmen and television they always seem to be there when the cops are manhandling some screaming punk but are never pre sent when some constable is being kicked into jelly ive met a lot of cops in my day some in the line of my duty and i hasten to add some in the une of theirs a few of them were real hoods but the vast majority were decent ordinary chaps who would go out of their way to be helpful its a rotten job but remember men somebody loves you the acton free press phone 8532010 business and
