a 25 million color picture tube plant with the help of a substantial grant from the department of industry col lingwood owen sound and bracebridge have also new multimillion dollar in dustries through the same plan manufacturers in the supposedly more affluent parts of ontario must be wondering how they can get their own areas classed as depressed so they can share in some of the incentives of fered through the department of in dustrys plan we would hazard a guess that there is more available capital in any of these depressed areas than there is in acton for instance which has a high employment figure however you arent likely to see assistance to in dustrial expansion here we also doubt the green is confin ed to this district ttt tt editorial page ffee4 w if acton is going to grow in an orderly fashion along lines proposed in zoning bylaws it becomes more and more apparent there must be someone to enforce zoning bylaws this was obvious following difficul ties with subdividers

move into homes theyve purchased in good faith when building was slow perhaps it wasnt too much to ask the overburd- 4itcrial hctej ened clerkadministrator to inspect the few houses being erected however if present growth continues unabated it is foolish to expect the clerk to handle these extra chores in addition to already onerous duties which take up most of his attention he certainly cant be at the beck andtall of taxpayers and spending a great deal of time on con struction sites with a yardstick as well a qualified bylaw officer with authority to enforce bylaws could have chedradtainage connections in lake- jjjfctf instance saving councillors wm- spending time better spent else where on other problems the experience of other municipali ties has also confirmed that a

past wars or will they buy every poppy they can get their bands on and try to infuse a brew of opium so that they can turn on all i know is that theyll have a tough time getting any poppyjuice out of those paper poppies the legion sells lly daughter and i have a running battle about the flower children and hippies in general she has a slogan love is au you need which i find scrawled on things all over the house lly contention is that these kids dont love anybody but themselves that they heartily hate anyone who doesnt subscribe to their hallbaked philosophy if you want to grace it with such a term and that most of them dont know enough about life tq wipe their own noses this goes over big of course i am im mediately relegated to that rapidlyincrea sing segment of the population that doesnt understand anything is against everything and cant communicate even though she does admit tney are pretty snobbish about their love deal i asked her why she didnt have a whackf at the legion contest its open to all stud ents and they can write an essay or a poem about the meaning of remembrance day good cash prizes and she writes well but it doesnt have any meaning for me dad i didnt have an uncle or anything killed in the war well what do you do i apologlted for the fact that both her war time uncles are alive and that i couldnt get myself killed even with the utmost ap plication of incompetence just so that she could really enjoy remembrance day eighteen seconds later shes beefing be cause i havent given her a driving lesson in a whole week and shes just got to get her license before the snow flies im afraid were going to have to face the fact that remembrance day does not mean much to the average kid today its not nearly as important as the latest soul record and its a mild bore a solemn moment at school that has no connection with the saturday night date or the tea y important things of life its just one of those silly things that middleaged people get all hung up about like hard work and honesty and chastity and all those other drags and its not just the kids who ignore it most young adults sneer at it as a relic of britannia roles the waves and over the top and beery old veterans ifs much more fashionable to join a protest group and march on something or other city hall the american consul ate it doesnt matter break some wind ows splash some paint and go home sniggering that we really sfaowea those fascists theres a vicarious thrill in the thought that the police might whack a few heads even draw blood not yours of course i wonder how many of those protesters would have the guts to clamber out of a muddy stinking trench and hurl themselves into barbed wire and machineguns looking for their vitals i wonder how many of the people who carry placards with their little fat jowls bouncing on their white collars could fly through a thousand acres of redhot flak because somebody had to do if i wonder how many of the petitionsign ers with their clean socks and their under- arm deodorant could take a week of puking and getting smashed about in a corvette mayble i sound a little bitter maybe i am maybe they could and would some of them but until they try it they shouldnt spit on others war is rotten war is stupid but to those who died salud and to those who live with rotten lungs and arthritis and all the rest of it know that there are still some of us who think about you on remembrance day the acton frte press phone 853 2010 business and editorial office founded in 117 jnd publnhrd every wednesday ai 5 vilkm si a ton ontario
