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 Parker. Robinet photo. 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 • s offer not, reseatnot, e repeated.

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?

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. Yours truly, Dag Campbell Stroud, Ontario 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. C.
