Lets Play Bridge Frog Wednesday Juno Red elm sometimes called slippery elm because of gelatin mil or slippery nature of Us inner bark Not using cross walks properly Whatever price the Town of Acton paid or pays for crosswalk Installations and their maintenance it appears a complete waste of tax money It Is a rare occasion to see a motorist stop to allow a pedestrian safe conduct on one of these crosswalks and rarer still to see a pedestrian in Acton give the proper signal indicating their intention of using the crosswalk It Is obvious that the town fathers the tliens in both categories of motorist or pedestrian are either completely ignorant In the use of crosswalks or they Just don give a damn about each other I have on many occasions noted and old people patiently standing at a crosswalk waiting for an opportunity to cross over but the traffic goes merrily on its way Right now using a crosswalk In Acton is a form of Russian roulette When 1 have been driving and seen people standing at a crosswalk I have stopped to let them cross in such instances it has been notable to me that these pedestrians were so surprised it took a moment or two before they took advantage or a safe crossing Of course they then had to consider the other side of the road where a risk still remained One very obvious danger in using a crosswalk In Acton is the fact that vehicles are permitted to pork almost an the crosswalks so that any motorist pro aching the area could unintentionally hit a crossing user because vision is limited This situation is ridiculous Is a simple matter to correct either remove the crosswalks or apply the rules and laws governing their use I wonder how many of the motorists know that they can be heavily fined and lose points for not giving pedestrians the right of way or for parking too close to a crosswalk One last thought Are the crosswalks in Aclon legal Opposes government drug bill effects LET YOUR CHILDREN DOWN Mothers to be You have a very heavy and responsible decision to make in the future whether your babies and do a good Job at looking after them yourself or having your children and have them slowly destroyed by the powers that be and big business tycoons who ore making their fortune by selling drugs out of hand The word sex no longer goes hand In hand with the fruits of love It has to be thought about before the decision is made whether to have a baby or not have it can you afford to keep it on one man pay packet or do you have to go out o work and let someone else look after it while you help to provide As the child grows through the years he gets all sorts of vitamins fed into his body He has all sorts of wonderful energy which Is hard to keep under control Then when he Is developing to his capacity there is no place in society for him So what happens The nerves become overactive and have to be dulled or put to sleep one way or another or else rioting killings and other mischief becomes uncontrollable What better way to keep these part children part adults quiet than to drug them This is permitted to take place because mother and father egotistically believe the children arc not yet capable of trying out their wings Also having a working child in the house is thought of as a sign of aging The old saying in this of ours is there are not enough people in Canada to make her a successful world power but at the same time these same people arc helping to destroy the future generation that we as mothers have bom created and suffered for No We won ever be a great power if we allow drug tycoons to take over Our young people are as Important a natural resource to our country as the minerals which are being dug up so laboriously out of the mountains and plains of Canada and it s about time that this human commodity was nurtured and brought to its full potential in as healthy a way as possible instead of trying to destroy the mind and body before it comes to full maturity where it can do the most good Canada is supposed to be a very rich country in resources yet the richest resource of all is being neglected or in the process of being destroyed Ls the government going to sell drugs in the same manner as it sells hard liquor and then spend the millions of dollars cumulated from this to rehabilitate these poor drug addicts which they will no doubt become similar to the alcoholics which have been created in the past One would think the government bodies were drug addicts themselves by the way they arc trying to push this drug bill through It take a person with a high I or higher education to realize when things are going wrong for our children So rise up Mothers and make your voices ring above all the other clamor that is going on and save your children from this drug menace Surely there is still enough basic animal left in you to protect your young and never let it be said that we as parents let our children down By Dill Coats The usual lead against a no trump contract is the fourth card from your longest and strongest suit There is good rcoson for tills The opponents have on that they have a majority of the high cards You must use your small allotment to set up your small
