"THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE"
Editor's Corner
By Bob Burton
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled
that the Federal Government can legally
bring home the Constitution to Canada.
The Federal Government is going to get
on with it so that the rights of indivi-
dual
ndividual Canadians will be guaranteed
under the law.
It all sounds very positive and worth-
while. However, let the Federal
Government remember that as Canadians
we enjoy other rights as well; rights
that some see as also guaranteed by
Ottawa: like the right to be unemployed,
the right to lose one's home because
of usurious interest rates, and the
right to be cold and hungry. For
those who are enjoying the latter
rights, the former don't mean too
much. There is no fun in being free,
equal, and destitute.
we were more than encouraged by the
reception given the first issue of t}
Post.
Like all new babies it was small.
But like a baby it will grow and
grow until it becomes 8 pages and
then 12 pages, and even more. For
the time being we will have to be
content to crawl before trying to walk.
We ask you to support our advertisers.
Tell them you saw their ad in the Post.
They are putting their confidence in
the Post to get their message across.
They are putting their confidence in
the residents of Bayfield and its
surrounding community. Don't let them
down.
We want the people of this area to
feel that the Post is their newspaper.
You are not only free but encouraged
to drop off news items whether they be
religious, social, sport, or club.
You are the people who make the news.
You are the ones who can share it.
We have invited the local clergymen in
Bayfield to write a weekly column for
the Post. Rev. Les Shiel's column
appears this week. We look forward to
what they have to say.
The main thrust of what we are trying to
say this week is that if this weekly is
to get off the ground we need your support.
if your support is forthcoming, the
Post will grow and thrive,and our
Community self-image and pride will
grow with it.

LIQUID WASTE
The following is an interview The
Editor of The Post had with
Mr. Steve Shanahan of Shanahan's
Liquid Waste Disposal.
Question - What .s 'Liquid ',Taste
Disposal?
Answer - Generally speaking, it
is waste from humans and ani-
mals or nature. Disposal means
hauling to dump sights approved
by Dept. of Health.
Question - Does Bayfield and
area have any specific type of
sewage system?
Answer - The area is entirely on
septic systems or holding tanks,
as opposed to bigger centres
that have a sewage collection
system such as'underground
sewers.
Question - What is the difference
between a septic tank and a
holding tank?
Answer - A septic tank fills
with waste forcing liquids
up and out into a weeping bed
and they are then absorbed
through evaporation and
drainage. A holding tank is
simply a container that holds
all waste materials including
liquids and there is no
dispersement of the liquids
over the property. A holding
tank naturally requires
pumping more frequently. A
holding tank gives a better
choice of landscaping because
tree roots, for example, won't
bother the weeping system because
there is none.
