MAUDE iriEDDEN ei 0 amioamiiiiiiiiiiiiimiamiumatimu manowinaminiminiumiummummininamioumiam niaaimilimaiiiimiiiiin miami uliiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiimiliii Hensall The Editor, On Saturday I received a copy of your nice paper dated February 5 from Mrs. Young and was so very surprised to see your comment in Column 1 re my appeal for hockey equipment for my boys at Cape Croker, I understand they have cleaned out the lockers at the Arena and found a lot of useful things that were not in use. I feel sure I can make use of it all and I don't know how to thank you enough. I think I have some very good hockey players at Cape Croker and if I can get them suitable equipment I hope to get them in some hockey tournaments next year. I sent two of the better players to hockey school last summer and they are very good. Several years ago I coached a lad at Newmarket who got good enough to make the Maple Leafs and later was traded to Chicago Black Hawks, so you see I. know a prospect when I see ,bne. If there is any charge for your writeup in the News I will be glad to forward it to you. Again may I thank you for your interest in my work. Ihave got, some .things in7London'guel I think ' when.' "I getAip to 'COO Croker and get it all sorted out, I will be well on my way. Yours sincerely, C. M. Playter, Mt. Brydges, Ontario. The editor, While reading the newspaper after supper, I came upon the proposed dam and wildlife program. The $65,000 program will no doubt be of great benefit to Clinton and area. After having gone through this article, I happened to think of a poem, written a few years ago by my daughter, At the time this poem was written by my daughter (Pamela), she was also writing a column for The News-Record called "Calling All Teens." By chance, there could be a little foresight in her verse.

Mel Graham, Clerk, 11 Township of Stanley BRUCEFIELD, ONTARIO. Say improving on something we've got. ' They say we're the hub of the county you know And' a hub has spokes and a wheel So let's get together and make something grow And soon we'll have all of the wheel. BY PAMELA FISHER. Signed, J. G. Fisher, Clinton. The editor, This is in regard to Ontario's announcement 'of the HULLETT Township project to take over 5,600 acres for a wildlife area. To start with it was stated that it was marshland. This is not so. It is' some of the best grassland in Ontario, It also grows good crops. It is our livelihood. However, the main concern is that this past August the Hullett Council agreed to let them go ahead and see ratepayers about it under certain provisions set out. These provisions were neither accepted or, rejected. There has been no ccihmtigicAt19n „lt all ,,,exeppt when' ode' ratepayer involved went to Mr. McNaughton with questions and was told quote "Keep your powder dry." This certainly helps when it means our future and' the future of our children. Since August a meeting has been requested with Mr. McNaughtbn, many times, but , he has never found it convenient. The result is that we, the people required to give up our land, read the announcement in the paper the same time as the man on the street. Would you, the reader, like to pick up the paper and read that your business was being taken over for a project ,without your ever once being consulted? Then, when you try for a meeting all you get is the old run around. I just feel people should realize that the ones who own land involved are not all in favor of it. We are even less in favor of the way it is taken out from under us without our having any say in the matter at all. This letter is being sent to Clinton, Exeter, Seaforth and London newspapers. We shall see then if all these papers believe in each side having the right to tell their story: It is to be hoped that Mr. McNaughton, when he reads this letter, will be able to find it convenient to grant us an interview so we, the ratepayers involved, may at least have a few answers to our questions so to 4.13e4 able etol, start to plan a different 'futeire' then the one we've worked for all these years. If this letter can do this, at least we'll know it was the power of the press that accomplished it. John W. Medd, RR 1, Clinton.
