This irritates me to no end as they are writing about a subject with no background knowledge. According to the editorial we do not listen: listening cost $500, 000 from June 1974 to February 1975. Our ratepayers will pay $125, 000 with the province paying the remainder (bear in mind that the province gets their money by taxation as well). At all stages of discussion since 1973, the three townships have been invited to join with us but only Stephen township, until this point, has consistently met with us. However, none of the townships are willing to pay to join at this time. The editorial says that we refused the request for a treat- ment plant: Incorrect, We said that we would go along with a treatment plant on the follow- ing terms: (a) that the township pay the additional one million dollars (approx.) immediately as Grand Bend couldn't afford that, and (b) that the township underwrite the additional 75 per cent cost of operations relative to the treatment plant. No Response. Who is at fault? Technically, a treatment plant will not function properly under the conditions we have here in Grand Bend. The rate- payers of the village have sup- ported our efforts in this regard. • As a point of interest, only one taxpayer is really causing any uproar. The delegation who spoke was composed of eight people --two Grand Bend rate- payers, two from Stephen Town- ship, and four from Perth county. Who do we serve, Grand Bend or the township and Perth county? There is an old saying, "Don't criticize until you have walked a mile in the other guys shoes. Listowel Banner should perhaps walk in our shoes for a while to test their superior knowledge of our sewerage Badminton results The team of Betty and Doug O'Brien won their eighth straight perfect night last Tuesday and clinched the top position in the Zurich Badminton League. The team had not been beaten throughout the whole schedule. Betty O'Brien also clinched the top honours in the individ- ual scoring with 52 points.

SUMMARY: What's wrong with Grand Bend: Too many people saying this is wrong or that is wrong without having a Clue of what they are talking about.
