We drive snowiplow8, inspect your food and protect your environmental rights. • The irony is that we have few rights ourselves. Many of us feel we are being used by the government. Take for example the last budget. The government attempted to woo your vote by cutting back on the civil service. This will save taxpayers a fifth of a cent on their tax dollar. That isn't even a pittance when you consider that the budget calls for over $10-billion of your money. You see, to the government we are political pawns. And that's not good.' People who work with retarded children, the -sick and the infirm those who run our correctional centres and inspect our food have been cut back. Public services will suffer. But the government won't let us take part in the democratic process to bring about change. For us that is illegal. We can't canvass for a candidate. We can't speak or Write publicly on any party's platform. We can't talk about the real issues. We have fewer civil rights, than other citizens. All we want is equality. And that won't cost taxpayers a cent. We hope that you will vote for civil rights ... equal rights for everyone. We only want to be heard. `Whose right go next?

The committee of the Chamber of Commerce cancelled the concert' because . the heavy downpour on Sunday made the outlook for the evening concert seem hopeless. Although the rain had stopped later in the evening, the distance involved prevented the concert from proceeding as planned. The Salvation Army Band under the direction of Reverend Dwight Strain would have travelled about 225 miles to keep their engagement in Seaforth. Dr. Charles Toll who arranged the summer program said he feels the public' enjoyed the concerts, although- the collection didn't pay the expenses associated with bringing in the bands. He hopes to generate enough interest to encourage an expansion of the program to include a varied series of summer programs for 1976. Dr. Toll said the Blyth Summer Festival seems interested in , presenting one or two light shows next year.
