Letters to the Editor Dear Sir: I wonder how many people know that there are at least 45 English translations of 0 Canada. A direct translation from the original French version reads: O Canada, land of our ancestors Your border is girded with glorious flowers Because your arm knows how to carry the sword it knows how to carry the cross. Your history is an epoque of very brilliant exploits. Chorus And your valour tempered with faith Will protect our foyers (homes) and our rights Will protect our foyers and our rights. M.C. Young Dear Editor: Oh, for a return to the days when our elected officials' first and foremost job was to serve the people of the area they represented. It would appear from the recent action of our local councillor and his counterpart from Ward One that in less than one year they have become completely callous to the obligations that they undertook, when they voted themselves a pay increase in excess of 40 per cent in their first six months in office. I am quite aware that in order to attract qualified people to administer our affairs renumeration must be adequate, however, these people were well aware of the salary for these positions when they ran for office. It was rny opinion that two year terms were a waste of taxpayers' dollars. However, I arn beginning to have second thoughts about that. In closing I might add that we are all well aware of growing inflation throughout our great country, and it has been my opinion for some time that all levels of government are the major contributors. This action at the local level only confirms my belief. David M.
