The text in the ad was written in anger, because a man, his wife and their six-year-old son had been brutally killed in what amounted to a para- military attack, in circum- stances suggesting that the strike force knew that the mart, who was their target, was accompanied by his fam- ily. I considered the killings to be wanton and without justification, and thought 1 conveyed that emotion in the copy. My remarks were not intended to convey any sug- -gestian -of t#t;tos<irrninatien, and I was most certainly not advocating the slaughter of innocent children. I am an incurable pacifist; I have rained six children ,and have sixteen grandchildren. i am intensely fond of chil- dren, and am not biased against any racial or national group. Because 1 was angry, I chose inflammatory words to express myself, apparently creating misunderstanding and discomfort for a number of people. To anyone who w,is adversely affected, I of- fer my sincere apologies. r-- •BAILEY'S OF HENSALL LTD.
