Ailsa Craig Legion donates
AILSA CRAIG - During the sev-
en-month period between December
1, 1988, and June 1 of this year,
Ailsa Craig Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 422 has donated more than
$4,000 to'various local, regional
and national charities and charitable
organizations.
"I think it is important the gener-
al public is made aware of the sig-
nificant contributions made by this
Legion branch and many others
across the country," said Eric Slat-
er, president of the branch.
"All too often we hear some peo-
ple complaining about the Legion
as just a place where people go to
drink alcohol," Slater said. "It's true
most Legions are licensed premises,
but they perform an important so-
cial role in many communities. The
public good they perform far out-
weighs any negative impact any Le -
$ion -may be accused of having on
its community."
Slater said the following dona-
tions, totalling $4,438.94 have
been made by Ailsa Craig Legion
Branch 422 between December 1 of
1988 and June 1 of this year:

Letters to the Editor
Dear S ir:
As a coach and referee and parent
of the Exeter Soccer Club,1 am dis-
gusted with the service we get from
the Rec Board.
I understand that the fee to the rec
board has gone from $2 per regis-
tered child, to $4. There are now
about 250 children registered, and of
these, 80 percent are from town.
The service we got from the
board has gone from bad to worse.
We were told that they would cut
the grass and line the fields. This
has not been done and the soccer
scasbn is almost over.
The board was given schedules of
all the games and they can't even
cut the grass. We end up hiring a
local child to cut the grass and pay
him again.
My suggestion to the soccer club
is not topay the rec board their fee,
do all the work ourselves and hire a
local kid to cut the grass and pay
him ourselves.
Field maintenance has to be done
by us because the rec board tells us
that is not their job and they don't
have the money to do it, nor the
manpower.
If the Rec Board was to take a
hard look at the condition of the
soccer fields here in Exeter, and cor-
Too Cool
ADei1
rect the situation, they would do a
lot towards the kids enjoyment of
the game.
We are all volunteers who donate
our time,-sd the least the rec board
can do is fulfill their commitment
and keep the soccer fields in good
playing condition.
Sincerely
Bert deBont

Dear Sir:
Your paper's front page story,
"Summer's the season for party ani-
mals", is a tainted view of adoles-
cent behavior 'which the authors
seem to condone, encourage and
think humourous.
Many others in society are at-
tempting to treat, control and/or de-
ter the behavior you're stating is ac-
ceptable and the norm.
It's unfortunate that such irre-
sponsible journalism should be
found in full view on the front
page, while an earlier article, "This
could happen anywhere in any com-
munity", hidden on page 29.
