GeorgetownActon Wednesday Oct 13 RE5 Everybodys mad at me lay off All right all right everybody I apologize It seems that I vc been getting people backs up all over the country Small businessmen bank managers accountants news editors JunRossofExeter whom I kidded I thought gently after he written some pretty Tierce right wing stuff in an original letter sent off a veritable depthcharge of a second letter this time with his business letter heading and raked me the educational system welfare and everybody In general who makes him fork over taxes over the coals He s a self made man and proud of it and I admire thai but he a awfully angry about a lot of things like a great many people in this country including me Cool down Jim The rest of us pay taxes too even though our children are long gone And I sorry the teachers and postal workers In town are angry with you I hereby order them to stop regularly at your store 1 11 admit that you probably pay nearly as much In income tax as I make In salary but thats proportionate About of every four make goes in taxes of one kind or another Bank managers are on my neck too Just because I called them clueless I did add that most of them werewiice chaps but they t read that part What I was getting at was their ex treme caution their dependence on head office their general insistence on an arm and a leg for security before giving a loan although that has change since I went to the well and came away by Bill Smiley thirsty Now they practically force loans on people No wonder at the Interest rates they take Apparently I had an unkind word to say about accountants too for I got a gentle and even friendly letter from Paul NWT who carefully pointed out the difference bet ween Chartered Accountants the real villains and Certified General Accountants or Registered Industrial Accountants most of whom have to takea five of six year program of home study to earn their designations I quote from his tetter Deer Mr Smiley You have a great writing style and I have enjoyed you your grand children your yard home and some times golf game for many years but please do your homework before you wrap all of us accountants old newspaper and throw us out with the garbage He was kind enough to send me a booklet about Certified General Accountants I have read it and done my homework but loo late Sorry chaps Us the who are the leeches not you breezy and friendly letter 1 find your letter in our weekly Port Colbome News the bright spot in another dreary week Ken ex Navy and now working on the locks would like to write a book Why not Ken Give it a whirl even though author Hugh Garner in a nice note suggested you stick at tying up ships Any damfool can write a book nowadays Not suggesting that you arc one That s the first thing I going to do when I quit teaching and a great many people will testify that I a Let s go back for a moment to the people who are down on me I men tioned news editors The Toronto Star Saturday edition editor called and in dulcet tones wondered if I would write a column for the paper as they were doing a feature story on me I keen but agreed He thought they could manage in these depressed times a fee of about half for MacCachln and half for me I wrote the column which turned out purely by chance to point out the weak of the three Toronto daily news papers It was fairly trenchant but right on the nose He called again and this time in aggrieved tones said they run it because well you know in these difficult times for news papers etc No wonder dailies are going broke across the country They re chicken And then the guy had the gall to run an old column of mine transmitted by phone to a stenographer He sent a cheque for I almost sent it back and told him what to do with it but t be bothered Chicken Is chicken however tasteless But all was not dark and bleak David Crowther of Walters Falls wrote me a letter me on my mention of newspapers not stepping on the toes f their biggest advertisers He then launched into an attack on the large chain food stores which is too involved to explain here Then he congratulated me on my column entitled Pity the Poor Banks Last year he wrote I borrowed on a good credit rating as a mortgage on my small busfness To do so I had to put a lien on my house and car and my wife had to cosign the loan I wonder what collateral Dome Petroleum gave I wonder too Mr also suggested students should spend the fifth year of high school not there but in travelling or working I thoroughly agree Anyway I came out about on hate letters Not bad Just a little worse than that six five abortion the Liberals are trying to stuff down our throats At any rate maybe I should stop being abrasive in thlr column and at lack only politicians and kids under five who
