While Roy Gib­ son holds the box in which the momentos of 1908 were placed, Bill Becker displays a German language Bible which was found in the box. T-A photo The readers write: Resolution 'derogatory' The executive of the Huron Real Estate Board has directed me to comment on an article which appeared in the Exeter Times Advocate April 4th edition. The Board feels that the words used in the resolution that was before council are both misleading and derogatory to this industry. The word “often” as used would cause anyone reading the article to believe that this is the norm in transactions with senior citizens. You must know this to be far from the truth of the matter and as such should state the same. The word “unscrupulous” used in the context of the article which presumably came from the resolution, used an approach of total condemnation of all real estate practitioners. This is the same as saying that all people in politics are stupid, or what have you. You as elected representatives, should react positively and with vigour any attempt to malign or injure the reputations of a large number of people in any one segment of the population. It is noted that the resolution calls for the Attorney General to act on the resolution: This is an error that demonstrates the total lack of knowledge, and more importantly, the lack of research by the authors of the resolution. The Minister of Consumer and Com­ mercial Affairs is the Minister responsible for the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, which is the main Act governing the real estate industry. The Business Practices Act also covers the field as does the Common Law of Agency. These do supply considerable safeguards to the public. Should a cooling off period be brought in it would have to be for cause, and that Plans underway for Dashwood church rebuilding By MRS. IRVIN RADER DASHWOOD Pastor M.

Reports of progress were made by all committees. remedy is now available to the public, Therefore the passage of new regulations would serve no useful pur­ pose. It is the wish of the executive that a copy of this letter be forwarded to the Town of Tecumseh as our objection to their ill founded and poorly thoughtout ac­ tion. The last point is; Reeve Simmons has no conflict of interest in the executive’s opinion as he had no financial interest in the matter and the interest that he did have was in association with some 24,000 plus real estate practitioners (1977 figures) in the Province of Ontario. Thank you for your at­ tention to this matter. Yours truly, W.R. Clifford Secretary-Treasurer Huron Real Estate Board. Why put in a new gas furnace now, when Summer’s almost here? Progress on cleaning up the demolished church is slow as thousands of bricks have to be cleaned.

Sugar and Spice Continued from page 4 and cut them down.” etc. There is un­ iversal delight among the watchers when a great player misses an easy shot, and reluctant grunts of apprecia­ tion when a poor player makes a brilliant shot. Out-psyching the opponent is a vital part of the game. Just as he is about to shoot, you lean far over to blow away an imaginary speck of dust, hiding the rock he is shooting at with your tie. You always blurt, “Don’t miss it now,"just as he is about to make game shot. And he frequently does. It sounds like foul play, and it is. But it can be hilarious. Shuffle-board brings out the absolute worst in characters who are normally considered to be people of integrity. As played in our staff-room, it is not a game for those who believe in winning in a gentlemanly fashion. They wind up with ulcers and don’t sleep nights. In our type shuffle-board, the mighty can fall, and the turkeys become eagles. I teamed up with another venerable gentleman, both of us former prisoners-of-war (on opposite sides), and we showed some of those young punks who were in their diapers while we were trying to make a better world for them. We came out of eight games with four wins, .5000, the best I’ve ever hit in my life. And if that dummy Hackstetter hadn’t missed his draw in the fifth game and bumped the opposi­ tion up for five, we’d have won the tournament. The NEXT time you vote in a Federal ElectiontCanada could have a hole in it. It all depends on who is going to be our Prime Minister after THIS election. Our next Prime Minister is going to have to handle Ren6 Leve­ sque and his referendum properly; he can't afford to bungle it. outate Food l*rocntln<. iMthor Goah. Pipri frodxti, CMmkeli.

Some people don't think the people of Quebec have the guts to leave Canada; well, they had enough guts to vote Levesque in, in the last Quebec election when the rest of Canada sat back and said Levesque will never get a majority. Some people think that economics and unemployment are the real issues of this election. If the party we elect to run this country can't keep Canada together we will have economic problems and unemployment like we have never seen before in this country. By backing the Liberal party and Mr. Trudeau in this No. 1 problem we will be solving the other problems at the same time. We will have more confidence in ourselves as Canadians. And other countries that in­ vest in our country will have more confidence in us as well. MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT TO PLUG THE HOLE IN CANADA. THIS IS A PRIVATELY FUNDED AD BY A CONCERNED CANADIAN, B.K.
