Want further debate equalization factor The Acton Free Press Wednesday April Township will take its concern over the provincial equalization factor to the Minister of Municipal Affairs Reeve A MacArthur suggested when reporting on a meeting with Education Minister William Davis and Minister of Energy and Resources George Kerr The factor is one of the elements used in calculating the NASSAGAWEYA This Greek revival style cupboard similarly hand crafted to one shown previously the Antique Corner of the Acton Free Kress has the same rope carving moulding on the top ledge of its construction and down each corner of the upper section One of four pieces built for a Mono Mills farm resident it captures the special abilities of the mid 18th century craftsman and with its unique grained painting application is a particularly valuable item It is noteworthy that along the right hand top section of the cupboard not exposed in the picture part of the rope moulding had been broken off but was replaced by the hand executed carving abilities of Yoscf himself and matched with absolute proficiency so lint it is difficult to discern breakage Of further interest in the picture shown is that the arrow back rocking chair denoted as such because of its unusual spindles resembling arrows is one of two of a kind and was made locally in by an unknown craftsman Focus on pollution Promote Arbor Day The focus was on pollution at Nassagaweya Council as members approved a motion calling for a ban on returnable soft drink bottles received a resolution proposing reinstatement of Arbor Day in the schools of the province to clean up yards and roads and Reeve A MacArthur criticized statements concerning garbage along a township road Councillor A Ackman defended the resolution calling for the province to push legislation banning returnable soft drink bottles He maintained the bottles were a source of pollution won accept the theory the public wants returnable bottles the Councillor declared after Councillor Gibson suggested the soft drmk companies would support the returnable bottle principle Deputy Reeve Gordon tabled motion and agreed to a two week delay acting on it proposing the return of Arbor Day schools throughout Ontario He recalled the event of earlier years and suggested on a specified day children be encouraged to clean up yards and roads in the area co operation with municipal road crews Councillor Jim Watson told members discussions in the West Education Area were underway on a Pollution Week and the clean up might be one facet of that He also reminded the deputy reeve it costs a day to transport pupils to school and a cleanup day might make it difficult to justify the costs involved The Deputy Reeve suggested an Arbor Day might make young people more conscious of what the land means to them Reeve A MacArthur favored a pilot experiment in Nassagaweya alone on a voluntary bans and on a Saturday before it was promoted across the province Deputy Reeve agreed to table his proposjl until more information was available on school plans The reeve was also critical of published reports quoting the solicitor for Milton Brick saying the people of Milton Heights were dumping garbage on the town line where health inspectors had ordered the company to clean up Mrs MacArthur reviewed the township bad cleaned the area up and it was certainly not
