It forces the manure from the barn, through an underground
pipe to We sforage area. As the manure enters storage area
from below, the outside surface forms a crust, which retains
the important nitrogeri and potassium.inside the pile and also
reduces• the odor and fly problems. And the manure is ready
for spreading, when you want it. '

One from Georgetown: "In Halton 'Region, Trafalgar
Road -was known -to everyone for, a century. But regional
government changed it to Halton Road 3. Why? The
members of regional council from Burlington decided to
make the change. We asked our councIllors to get it changed
back to Trafalgar Road. Three yearslater, nothing done.
"Another example: At Georgetown. lawn bowling club,
plumbing was being hooked up to town sewers. Local crew
not allowed to do the job. Crew from Burlington came to
take over.
"Could name a multitude of other ridiculous and wasteful
nonsense accompanying regional government rules but it
wouldjust make you sick.-
One bit of nonsense was suggested by another writer from
Carleton Region. She said a ‘vindow was broken in a munici-
pal building. Before .regiona
rule, the local custodian —.he
was a caretaker then —
would simply go downtown
to the local hardware store
get a piece of glass cut and
instal it.
Back in the days when mail deliveries were reasonably
regular, a recent column on regional government sparked
letters....

Letters are epprec.aiet1 by Bob Trot*/ (Idol. Rd • Elmira Onr NIB 2C7
"It's stupid, isn't it?"
It sure is.
Another letter from the Ottawa area is not coMplimen-
tary.
The writer comments on a column written about police
brutality in which I Suggested some policemen were too
zealous in carrying out their duties. -
"How someone who claims to have one foot in the furrow
can have his head so far in the clouds escapes me.
"If you want to establish a reputation for being morepro-
gressive than your conservative neighbor, go ahead but it is
rather foolish to do it by tearing down one of the institutions
whICh enables you to live safely in a comparatively isolated
location without barricades and guns to protect you and
your family.
"Your short column was so full of inaccuracies that
hardly know where to begin — and believe me, I am writing
not in anger but in .the hope that there is some redemption
for a man who claims to have at least one foot in the fur-
row."
• There was more, much more, including a suggestion tc
accompany an OPP night patrol for a shift or two "to heir
you get rid of a few misconceptions."
I have, as a cub reporter some years ago, spent time doing
exactly what was suggested. But my opinion remains the
same.
I have a hunch that the writer of the letter must be closely
connected to someone who iss-a policeman which would tend
to unduly influence the opinion expressed.
However, it is good to get letters, even if the opinions are
opposed to mine.
But to round it off, perhaps I should mention a letter from
Calgary, written by a person who gets his hometown weekly
— from Walkerton — sent to him.
He said the column about policemen was one of the best
he has ever read: "Keep up the good work. We cannot lose
our freedoms and it is good to, hear someone from the
country expressing that opinion. We too often think all
country folk are red-necked rubes."
So, there it is, Some letters do reach their destination. It
is heart-warming to know that some people feel strongly
enough about a subject to sit down and write a letter in these
days of'instant communication on the, boob tube.
Thanks for writing, too, to those whose letters do not get a
' mention in the column.
