PROJECT Letter to the Editor: Flora Macdonald. After deep meditation and Editor's Note: We are with you silent cogitation, all by myself, I t 100 percent Miss Macdonald, really have not been able to and may 1 sdy that while 1 agree work up any sympathy for those the world will always need frustrated poor Joes who make more in two days than their fathers did in two weeks. I wonder if th . y are the ones who, 001160"af drivilhg back, race their cars round and round and round The Square, then speed down a street to circle the town making the night hideous with noise. I think that the fuss and the fuming about a few mere men from France coming over here and being, quoted in the press because they ignored Ottawa has not caused any lasting commotion. To my way of thinking, it is another story like the Hippies in Yorkville who flourished for' awhile and have now faded almost out of the, news. Yorkville now is getting back to work on being the beauty spot of that area as it started out to be. Visiting Quebec this summer, we were greeted everywhere with a friendliness that was purely Canadian. Most often the' Quebecois ' were as glad of the opportunity to speak English as we were to speak to them in French; both sides recognizing the fact that both English and French • are beautiful, languages. In answer to the question . that we usually asked, the answer was always, Oh there are a few who think they should cause a disturbance. I have thought for years that our great need is for a big, outstanding leader who would have . concrete proposals and people would follow him to help eliminate the so many other evils in the world. After reading the last copy of The Signal -Star I have changed my mind. All that is needed is the ordinary Joe who gets' an idea from something he reads or wherever,. takes it to someone who has the facilities and the willingness to carry on his idea and in a short time, many people have a chance to participate. In this instance, our chance is to show the people of Sussex, England, that just as our men were willing to go overseas, so we would like to share our money with them to help keep ve--the--memory- of--those--who did not return. • Now I would like to,.suggest that each person in Goderich mail that most interesting page about the Little Church on Wisborough Green to a friend somewhere in Canada and this ' small idea will have a chance to ' 'ROU DEtOWN Mrs. C.
