CORPORATE DONATION - The Toronto Dominion Bank made a corporate dona-
tion of $4,000 to.the Seaforth Community Hospital building fund last week. Over
and above the hot dog sales held by the Seaforth TD Bank staff, the donation
puts the total amount donated by the Toronto Dominion Bank in access of $6,400.
The local bank staff looks on as Marlen Vincent, right, Chairman of the Hospital
Fundraising Committee, accepts the cheque from Seaforth TD Manager Larry

Problem
was electrical
An article which appeared in last week's
Huron Expositor mistakenly 'identii ped the
cause of a mobile trailer fire as the cook-
ing of breakfast. Further investigation has
shown the cause to be electrical in nature.
Also the trailer was not 'situated a few
yards, not a few feet from the new
Agricultural Display shed.
Our apologies for the inconvenience and
embarrassment these errors may have
eaused.
Too many
zeros in pace
In last week's story concerning the
Tuckersmith Council meeting, it was writ-
ten that the shower maintenance costs for
the Seaforth and District Arena were an
estimated $15,000. The Huron Expbsitor
would like to point out that this figure is
incorrect, and that the actual estimated
cost was only $1,500. We would like to
apologize for any consternation that this
oversight may have caused.
Reader thanks Expositor for truth.
Dear Editor;
With the wonderful, unprecedented
events now taking place in Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland and the other East
European countries, I wanted to say a par-
ticular thank you to "Huron Expositor" for
all the years it has printed the truth.
The silence of the West, over the years,
concerning the takeover oi; the Baltic
States by Stalin in 1940, and of the rest of
Eastern Europe in 1945, has, for the past
44 years, been a cause of discouragement
for refugees and dissidents from Eastern
Europe, who tried .to tell the West of the
atrocities committed by the Soviet Union;
as for example; the Ukrainian famine of
1939; the purges and deportations of the
thirties; the Nazi -Soviet Pact of 1939; the
forceable repatriation of refugees after
World War II; the massacre of Polish Of-
ficers in the Katyn forest; the murder of
hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians at
Bykivnia and Vennytsia; the mass depor-
tation of Estonians, Latvians and Lithua-
nians to Siberia in 1941 and to Eastern
Russia in 1944.
•For years these stories have been large-
ly ignored in the West. Now, from the
"horse's mouth": the Soviet press itself,
these stories have been corroborated!
Over the years the "Huron Expositor"
has been in the forefront in printing the
Many times, when my letters and poetry
were rejected by other publications as be-
ing merely right wing rhetoric or too ex-
treme, you found space for me in your
paper.
The struggle for freedom and in-
dependence by Poland, Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, flungarg, et cetera, is becoming
a reality. That the "Huron Expositor" and
like papers have helped keep up the
morale of our ethnic peoples from Eastern
Europe through the long days and
devastating nights of half a century of ex-
ile is a fact greatly appreciated by all

AS THE BALTICS
RISE TO FREEDOM
By: Julia Eckert -MacLean
My eyes are wet with weeping,
And my heart exults in joy
As the Baltics rise to freedom:
Their sovereignty to deploy!
And all whotasted terror,
Beneath that Soviet heel of hate,
Throw aside the shackles
In Revolution's wake!
So, rise brave Baltic peoples
To the freedom you have gained,
As God's own blessings - at long last -
Upon your Homeland rain!
Two founding na
Dear Editor:
DID YOU KNOW? Wednesday,
September 13, 1999 was the anniversary of
the defeat of the French at the Plains of
Abraham at 10 a.m., in 1759. We question
"Two Founding Nations!"
DID YOU KNOW?
1759 - In the terms of the capitulation of
Quebec to General Townshend, there was
NO MENTION OF THE FRENCH
LANGUAGE.
1760 - In the terms of the capitulation of
Montreal to General Amherst, there was
NO MENTION, OF THE FRENCH
LANGUAGE.
1763 - by' the Treaty of Paris, the French
King ceded New France, in the full right,
to his Brittanic Majesty. Courts were
established, both Civil and Criminal as
agreeable to the laws of Great Britain.
There was NO MENTION OF THE
FRENCH LANGUAGE.
1774 - British House of Commons Judge
Hey, the first Chief Justice of Quebec
under British rule, testified that at the con-
quest of Quebec, the French expected to
retain neither their language nor their law.
1791 - Canada Act passed - STILL NO
MENTION OF THE FRENCH
LANGUAGE!
1793 - 1836 - A Bill was passed in the
British Parliament stipulating all lands out-
side the Seigniories be held by English.
ENGLISH WAS THE SOLE OFFICIAL
LANGUAGE AND ALL BILLS WERE IN

writer now living in Sudbury, Ontario. Her
poetry has appeared often in the "Huron
Expositor".
And that valiant, striving spirit,
That you held all these exile years,
Will give surcease to anguished hearts
And wipe away your tears!
And destiny shall lead you
Across the Baltic Sea;
To pine -clad forests; sandstone cliffs;
Where loved ones wait for thee!
It shall lead you back to Amber -shores:
To where Baltic Rivers run;
To Baltic sands; and Baltic dreams;
And good times in the sun!
And you shall go Home singing
To your golden Amberland,
As, "...destiny, turning towards the sun,
Leads you back..." - again! •
tions are a myth
ENGLISH!
Two Founding 'Nations? IT'S -AMYTH!
This myth has been foisted on the people
of Canada by the Federal Government and
repeated time and time again in order to
make it a fact! Canada is one nation and
one alone, and the language of this coun-
try happens to be ENGLISH.

Shouldn't be taxed
Dear Editor:
RE: Federal Goods and Services Tax
Brian Mulroney's tax on goods and ser-
vices won't bring the Federal government
any more money? So says Michael Wilson.
Yet the tax on electricity in Ontario alone
will bring them over half -a -billion dollars
from this previously untaxed necessity.
Now Otto Jelinek says he'll need almost
4,000. new collectors to collect the same
amount of money. There seems to be room
for some correction.
Brian Mulroney should try NOT taxing
electricity. In other countries with a value
added tax, they have recognized electrici-
ty as a necessity.
