( photo by Patrick Raftis ) We don't respond to suit and tie. Dear Editor: What a surprise last week after completing the midnight shift and coming above from under ground where Domtar sees fit to pay me for impersonating a miner to find one of our local politicians introducing himself and shaking hands with the boys.. This is a splendid tactic and guarantees a flock more votes. However, when the candidate is wearing a three- piece suit, his hair and nails polished like a mallard duck caught in an oil slick and plastic shoes, he belongs op a stage, not by our time clock. Furthermore, there is no need to try and seduce us by wearing a tie. This is bad for our image."Shame on you Mr. Politician. Next time you would. be better off if you wore safety boots, greasy or faded blue jeans and a mackinaw shirt. But you tried. Just don't forget. We are the • salt of the earth. - _ Pete Henry tff `4s ******************************. MVO A MBERLEY GRAIN ELEVATOR Hca cs (A division of Parrish & Heimbecker Ltd.)

First of all, we would like to say that people should get all of their information straight before writing a complaint. Secondly, the wading pool is a free privilege which many people take ad- vantage of. The gate to the wading pool was not "left open by accident". The lock was picked by one of the swimmers that we, as lifeguards, babysit on a regular basis. Furthermore, when the big pool was closed and there were no lifeguards around, the parents should have had the common sense to tell their children that they . were not allowed in the pool- Fortunately, a concerned parent phoned one of our supervisors (on her day off) and told her what was happening. She rushed over to the pool to find about 15 children swimming, shingles and stones from the *Ai***If***aF•*** 11- *** aFaF 4-* e your Grand nts feel Exciting News.... .rr,.irt ' mr ►vRalsg, °Y , W 0:6549,- h E .5,-+ ...I L E R is OF DUBLIN A STORE FULL OF BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE On the Main Street of Dublin 345-2250 Free Delivery LETT RS rr� roof scattered about the pool and one child 1 riding his bicycle in the pool. The majority' P. of the children found in, the pool were regular pool goers between the ages of three and twelve and are quite aware "of the pool rules. Do you not agree then that the children should have been "given heck" for what was not "the parks mistake?" The reason for the pool being closed was due to the Pro -Am Bicycle Race which we worked ai withoui pay. Since we cannot -be in two places at once, the pool was closed. Fortunately, for everyone involved, no ac- cidents occurred this time! The Pool Staff Flags stolen fourth line reader says others .,Gere paid by my husband's pension check. There will be no more flags flying in our backyard and I'm sure it will be missed not only by us but by our neighbours. To the people who stole our flags, I hope 'you're satisfied. You've gotten your way; there will be no more flags around our home. I hope you have a great need for our flags. It's outrageous that you cannot be a proud Canadian in this town. It would be very much appreciated if our flags were returned with a new pole. I hope this letter will make people realize what we, in our home, feel. If our flags have been stolen four times, what next, our home, burglarized. I'm beginning to believe that our little town of Goderich is no longer safe. Sincerely, • Mrs. Elgin Chambers DeaiEditor: Somewhere in this town are parents who . don't give a damn what their teenage children do after eleven o'clock at night. Friday night we lost our fourth Canadian flag since the first of May. The pole has twice been broken off at the base and our flags stolen. Two of these stolen flags have my name upon them and one has myius- band's. If the parents of these thieves ever entered their child's room and found our flags, I'm sure they would be shocked. We have lost approximately one hundred and fifty dollars and the police have been notified. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be doing anything about it. The first flag and pole was a gift from a friend of mine and therefore has great sentimental value. The Grandparents' Day is Sunday, Sept. 9. Canada's First Grandparents' Day!
