Dear Editor,
I would like to just pay
tribute to the efforts of
Sam James for his
summer program
regarding the swimming
team and rallies.
It seems to me, he is to
be heartily commended
for the arranging of
starters, timers, scorers,
announcers, the
arrangement of the
grounds, the at-
tractiveness of the set-
ting, food, -transportation,
trophies and prizes. It's a
big job and he's done it
_very very. wgLLs . eatinga
m�.
for both the participants
and the spectators.
Congratulations Sam.
. • Sincerely,
Richard P. Robarts.
Thank you
Dear Editor,
The members of the
Bluewater Kennel Club
would like to thank
Joanne Walters for the
excellent coverage af-
forded our Sanction
Match which was
recently held at
Bluewater Centre.
The show was indeed a
c. great success and we
'hope to. be able to con-
sider such an un-
dertaking at the Centre
again next year.

along Lake Huron, would
like people to hear our
side.
Our particular lot is
deeded as .100.3 wide. by
244.66 deep. If we do not
count the beach as ours
we have 100.3 wide by
200.6 deep, therefore we
are losing 44 feet.
People like the writer
of that letter really burn
us up. They walk through
our back yards with their
children, boxes of beer,
picnic baskets, etc. They
knock down trees, set
them on fire and enjoy
our land.
Upon leaving, they
douse their fires and
,leave. ,behiuctj ;the, sand
bottles and other various
debris.
And if it's dark enough
when they leave they take
along with them boats,
rubber rafts, boat motors
and anything else light
enough to carry.
A lot of us have spent a
great deal of time and
money building steps and
pathways to the beach for
the enjoyment of ' our
families and neighbours.
We are getting tired of
having to clean up gar-
bage left -behind by
people who do not ap-
preciate our property
when we wish to use the
beach.
I would like to ask the
writer of that letter and
the Ministry of Natural
Resources how much fuss
they would make if we
returned their visits to
their backyards and left" A_

We don't mind people
using our beach but we do
not want them to trespass
on our property to get
there. We have to pay for
our rights to the beach
but do they?

Looks better
Dear Editor,
The past, year has been
a significant and critical
one for labour in Ontario.
Likely to be remembered
as the year we emerged
from three years of wage
controls, it was also a
year of continued
government paralysis on
the economic front.
It was a year when the
cost of living rose 50
percent higher than the
increase in average
weekly wages:. A year
when private -sector in -
Luring 'fell 'to I050`'s-tevels
despite the recording of
the' biggest industrial
profits in this country's
history. A year when unit
labour costs dropped and
'Canadian workers were
still blamed far our in-
dustry's lack of in-
ternational . com-
petitiveness.
The - year ahead • looks
little better. The
Organization for
Economic Cooperation
and Development
predicts economic
growth will fall well short
of government estimates.
The Conference Board
warns that unem-
ployment will top the nine
percent mark.
Workers in ,this
province and this country
have suffered enough.
They have paid their fair
share. Labour
legitimately expects
some visible return on its
investment, in our
economy. It expects to be
able to maintain a decent
standard of living. It
expects a commitment
from all levels of
government to full em-
ployment and swift steps
taken to reach this at-
--
•ina ile : -1• expg
action- 'on ` a profl ise of
strong occupational
health -and safety
legislation. And it expects
a revision ofour labour
codes to more accurately
reflect the trade union
movement's place in the
mainstream of the
Canadian community.
The next, year will not
be - an easy one for -
Ontario and Canada.
Organized labour is
prepared to • ,act in a
responsible ad positive
manner if it is assured of
action by business and
bf
ehind the same kind o
mess.
Another question for
them is if there was a

Dear, Readers....
• from page 4
how valuable the book
could be as a teaching aid
in the classroom. She
supported The Diviners.
There's • Dorothy
Wallace, a well respected
woman in Goderich,
whose late husband Dr.
John Wallace knew about
life and the people who
lived it .... and lovbd
everyone. Mrs. Wallace
'supported The Diviners.
There's Herb
Turkheim, . a former
newspaper editor and
publisher, who has
learned through the years
that hiding' the truth is
never wise. Shielding and
protecting the public's
right to freedom of in-
formation is the,pnly way
to ensure understanding
and wisdom. He sul5-
ported the book.
Huron County hasn't
heard the last of the
groupof conceined
parents. The members
will be back. And when
they grow tired of the
struggle ..:` or when they
are too old to fight ....
others will_ take their
place. For there will
always be people who -will
want to stifle freedom
and put men and women
in neat little packages all
in a row.
Haverkamp said that
"man often forgets that
the beginning of all
wisdom is fear of the
Lord". Amen.
But that goes a long
way back, to the Garden
of Eden, where Adam and
Eve were in a safe sinless
world with one simple
instruction: Do not eat of
that tree. And everyone
knows that Adam and
Eve 'disregarded the
Lord's command when
they were tempted by
Satan. They ate of the
fruit and right away., the
Bible explains, they saw
their nakedness and ran
and hid.
People haven't
changed much today. A
few people said The
Diviners, Of Mice and
Men and Catcher in the
Rye were -forbidden fruit.
And right away, the book
stores are sold out of
those copies, the library
has a waiting list for the
books and people who
have read the
publications before are
re -reading them with an
eye for blasphemy. And
they'll see their naked-
ness.
Yes, I'm a prude. A
product of my life to date.
But I will fight for the
right of . people
everywhere to grow to
their full height in
freedom.
Book banning isn't
freedom. The right to
choose is. As far as I'm
concerned, the Huron
County Board of
Education at the in-
sistence of the group of
concerned citizens has
removed that right -to
choose from the senior
students of Huron County
high schools.
