To the Editor,
It is 2:16 a.m. on this holiday
Monday morning. and the vibration
level in our house is so loud again
that I cannot sleep and my dog, once
again, can only find slight reprieve
by going • outside. It started just af-
ter midnight and hasn't let up. We
are being very patient.
is want you . to try to imagine your
home being invaded by loud noise
and/or humming vibration, night

your children, or your pets?
How would you feel if your sig-

How wonderful to be appreciated!
Heartfelt thanks to the Seaforth Community Development Trust who,
on behalf of the citizens of Seaforth and Huron East, recently provided the
entire staff of the Seaforth Community Hospital each with a $20 Seaforth
BIA gift voucher.
It was a generous and thoughtful thing to do. Your support and under-
standing at this time is more important to us than you'll ever know.
