NO 300 Comno.iinications. To man ErRrOn OT guts ADvOCATB, Mr. Editori will again ask ' you to allow me a small space in your ,,i)aper to reply to "A. 13., C.' of Grand Bond. Well, ,Mr. Eclitnr, he says they , have only one fisherman in Graod Bend. We admit that Grand Bend has not many pond net fishermae as,it takes a man with brains to fish with a pond net, "The Datives of Grand Bencl are,only 'fit to fish a seine or something that requires no brains to Wol'k it. Now the major ity of pond net fishermen came from the townstlip of Plimptorn and belong ta neither Grand Bend nor B. Line; and as for tinkers, the Bend has them right in their midst. We claim we have no tinkers on B. Line, for a tinker is one who makes a business of mending tin and that is what 13. Line cannotboast of, but Grand Bend has got one of the proper sort. But as it is, neither fisher inen nor tinkers, I wish to dwell upon, but on the question of school, and will say no more ab011t either of them. Now Mr. Editor, I will take "A. B. C." back to the year 1871 or thereabouts and what does he find, Grand Bend and B. Line were going to build a school in company and had the timber on the ground and the foundation built at the corner of the B. Line -but what does Grand Bend do, they came along like a thief iu the night and hauled the timber, foundation and all away to where Grand Bend school now stands and now when the school at the Bend is ready to •turrible about their ears they cowe back to, B. Line to get them to help build a new one, but we wan; no more such work. Now I will have to coreecu "A. B. C." in one point when I mentioned the poor that was kept by the council. I said that B Line never came down so low as to get help from them and I still say so arid defy him to point out onelustance where B. Line ever received one dollar from the coun cil in charity. Again I will say that B, Line never fell so low as to sell di seased pork to their neighbors nor to go into a poor man's hen roostand take c%ickens therefrom and pour coal oil over them and then set bre to the poor things. Again he says that olio such hog pen in every five miles is enough. We presume he is me,aning our school when he says that, • but Grand Bend seem very anxious to get the hog' pen at all events. He says they have a very warm feeling. towards us and would be only to glad to lend us some of their spare funds.. We would ad vise them to keep alt their spare funds, as they need it all and will probably Deed more before they get a new school built, and as for utter ruin we are not in auy clanger of be- ing ruined and if Grand Bend would like a little help to build a new school I think we could let them have a little money but we are not so generous as they are as we want interest on it. Thanking you for so much space. I remain "B" Line Coiresponpent To TIIE EDITOR 011 THE ADVOCATE Sne.-Please allow me a small space in your valuable paper to reply to Ratepayer, G. 13. Now, Mr. Editor, he says he wants me to tell him something he does not know. Well if I were to attempt to do that you would have no room for anything else in your paper. If he had just reversed it and said tell him something he did know it could be done in a very few words Again, Mr. Editor, he says that it only .takes five ratepayers to apply for a new section. We have no objections to these five starting a new section, let them go ahead and build a new school as soon as they like. We pity his ignorance if he thinks that five discontented parties in a section can break up two or more sections. He does not seem to know that applying for and getting. are two widely different things. Again he says that the mee.ting of the arbitratois last summer was illegal. Now I will tell him what made it illegal it was by the ignorance of some parties in Grand Bend section in getting up the petition and not through any fault of the ar bitrators or eithet of the other sections. Now then I thirik the least Ratepayer can say about the meeting beitig il- legal the better it will be for Grand Bend section. Now, I will admit that I may have misunderstood Ratepayer's first article in regards to location of sections but' at the same time I fail to SCO how Drysdale seperate school or Lake View public school are going to effect Grand Bend section in the slight- est. He says that their motto is to "live and let live" Imust say I am pleased to hear it as that is our motto also; but we are content to live within ourselves and not call on G.13. section, to help us build a new school, and tha,t is exactly what they are doing rio'W. They have to build a new school /and they are either not able, or too stingy to build within themselves, consequent ly they are trying to get other sections to help thern Now Mr. EditOr thiS is positively the last time you will hear froui me on this subject so thanking you for so much space I will bid both you and ratepayer good 'bye, Subscriber, rite Record.
