It 'is recognized that such resorts are for them as much as for older married people and their families. in recent years, with the new ,youth "freedoms," concern has been felt, not .merely for the general welfare of the -beach-itself, but for the overaiF welfare of the young people. drogs could_ usy' g people, be, obtained: Pushers were disa�curaging mass„ youth gatherings, by • ''"7;7 : `f`ft''tfiFt ' e The police, who do an excellent job of' maintaining lawand order, . sometimes -under most cliff icul;t conditionss; •-are handicapped in dealing effectively ,with the drug traffic.

' First: The Pork Producers did not hope or believe the remarks' made in council by two members from rural municipali'ties were' misquoted. Our main concern is that the grossly erroneous statement made by Bill Elston, 'Reeve of Morris was not checked out by your reporter before being published'. If your newspaper isin the habit of publishing any statement made by anyone, then you no doubt would, be a -.forerunner in the crowd that followed the chicken through the forest as she cried, "The sky -is falling down! The sky is, falling down!" Second: An explanation of how dully farmers continue to spend., spend, -spend; for new cars, 'new equipment, more lan'd,`bigger barns 4 - what would youlhave us dao? Go back to the horse and buggy? Our 'cars wear out like everyone else's,do. We buy new equipment, more land, and bigger barns to try to compete in a very competitive' business. Count the number of farmers competing against.each other• in Huron County. Then, count the iitlither of newspapers in direct competition with thy'•Gaderich ;Signal -Star. Farmers have mademore progress in the last twenty years, in units of food produced per acre, per man and' per man-hour than almost anybusiness or, industry you - -can name. We have to be progressive - not regressive, Also, many farmers are carrying a much heavier debt load than they like in order to survive in this cheap food ,poli,cY being "carried out by our away.

Third: The Huron County Pork Producers did not petition County Council about cheap beef imports from Australia and New Zealand.
