This letter concernsa meeting whigt ,was held in Seafortb on F 18, 1986 to discuss a. sanitaty sitefor use by the residents of Seaforth and> Tudteremith Township. I do not tunder.atand why a lawyer imported from Stratford was chosen t9 chair the meeting. In his opening 'temarks the Chairman stated that like it or not a sanity landfill site' will be established iif'l uckersmith Township. He also went on to say that the chair would only entertain ques- tions concerning the criteria used by the Solid Waste Disposal Committee - to select possible sites, not the sites themselves. Was this done to in- timidate the audience, most of whom were from Tuckersmith Township. As a resident and taxpayer in Tuckersmith Township I strongly ob- ject that the' letter concerning the public meeting was written on Town of Seaforth stationery and signed by the Clerk -Treasurer, a paid employee of Seaforth. The letter to Tuckersmith Township residents should have originated from the Township office • and Imp.. .411,4 The letter s ed: - "Please end-eAoigsed cop), ot as advertisement aing et An open Rause and public ft4ionoarning the environmental assesment study currently conducted by Municipalities , Tuckersmith and Seaforth.

For future meetings concerning sanitary landfill sites may I suggest that the meeting by chaired by the elected individuals responsible to the taxpayers, i.e. Mayor of Seaforth and Deputy Reeve of Tuckersmith. (The Dear Sir: -There are a number of factual er- rors and misconceptions in the col- umn you devoted to the subject of lot- teries iA December. While I know some time has passed since then, I 'thought in the interests of accuracy, . you might be interested in the Ontario Lottery Corporation's comments. The reason there is a regulation permitting the Corporation to publish the names, _ ,.addresses and phetograkhs of winners is to ensure all Ontario players know there are winners of lottery -prizes. It is an essential ingredient to the integrity of our lottery systepi. You might also be interested to know that the Winners' Handbook was prepared in response to requests from Lottery winners.

It might interest you to knowthe average expenditure on lotteries is $8.50a month with 83.5 percent of On- tario adults having bought a ticket at some time. From these statistics complied from a province wide study 18 months ago, it will be clear lottery participants come from .all socio- economic groups. In actual fact, the lower and higher income groups par- ticipate slightly less than middle- income earners. • ' Most Ontarians view lotteries as a low-cost form of entertainment, spen- ding little time or money on them. We would also dispute your com- ments that lotteries have had an im- pact on the success of local fundrais- ing prbjecta. Many fundraisers, in fact, earn commission on the sale of our- lottery tickets.

As well, you will be interested to know over $15 million in lottery pro- ceeds are directed to province -wide charities through the Trillium Foun- dation every year.

The Editor Congratulations to the Hensall Public School Staff who provided a successful Inuit Culture Day for the students. The various activities throughout the school were not only "fun" but were also arranged to place impor- tance on specific learning skills such as visual and auditory comprehen- sion, verbal and written language, methematical concepts and geographical and historical knowledge. In today's fast moving world, students can no longer be limited to listening, memorizing and spewing back information dictated from the front of a classroom during rigid time slots. Pity any poor student - or adult - who interrupted this robotic form of education. The unique, dif- ferent or creative student quickly fell to the way -side, definitely considered unteachable or unruly. There has to be time for serious lear- ning of basic skills that require ab- sorbtion and memorization. But then how much better to build and rein- force such facts than by interesting, stimulating, and - yes - fun activities. What an opportunity for students and teachers to communicate and co- operate.
