Gems Column Listings and Local School Updates
Gems for this column may be phoned to 17d or sent to The Free Press Office in Acton. Alterations underway at the Public School. Rainy Sunday did not dampen fishermen at Fairy Lake who kept lines in as showers fell. Eaton's order office opened in Acton last Thursday under Miss Doris McLaren formerly of Brampton and Orangeville. The office sits where Rachlin's men's wear once stood and has been redecorated. Ditches on Main Street between Church Street and Brock Street are being hard topped this week to prevent washouts. Four carloads of Acton parents and friends visited Camp Ruddy near Port Ryerse, a project of Acton Y's Men's Club and Gullph Y. MICA. The park concert and picnic last Sunday were cancelled due to rain and rescheduled for this Sunday if weather permits. Citizens' Band will perform from 4 to 4:30 PM and picnics are encouraged.
