Mrs. Grace Drummond welcomed the members of Unit II U.C.W. group to their Thereaders write Dear Editor: We must congratulate Mr. Van Wieren for a job well done! We, too received a parking violation, because I did not obey the law. I was parked only for I thought, three minutes, too. As I look- ed at my watch it was at least an half hour, as I talked. So I feel Charley Hay deserved a ticket as by law he parked in a no parking area. As for the Council... you don't deserve a man as dedicated as Mr. Van Wieren. Council should be backing him up by 100 percent. After all he does a job what he's been hired for, to enforce the law. Yes, Hensall is going to the dogs, but only because the council doesn't support their own town. Where have you done your grocery shopping last week council members? Remember to support your own stores. Council get off your rear, and get moving, before it's too late! The law is here, so we must obey the law! - Sincerely, Tessica Bannerman HAPPY BIRTHDAY — MPP Jack Riddell presented a congratulatory certificate to Mrs. Anne Batt, Hensall, on the occasion of her 95th birthday.
