coll from a young in your office She identified herself and asked me to give her any information could Naturally I could not She asked if 1 the Station Manager and explained that there was no one there with thot title and suggested she call our Public Relations Office in Toronto as is the custom in such uses She said she had already been talking to Public Relations and waiting for a return

the editor of The Herald for the past two weeks in The Herald Miss Sue has expressed her opinion of both the Physical Education Department at Acton High School and the staff who work in that department I wos upset with the Inference the Inaccuracy In the first article but decided to remain silent allowing it to pass as just on opinion However when a second article appeared which was even more inaccurate and approached libel in its attack on the character of a school and the people in it I could not allow it pass without will begin by questioning the wisdom of The Heralds editor for allowing any article which questions the character and integrity of an individual or institution without first collecting at of the fads to be written by a staff member and then published Miss at no lime approached me as head of the Physical Education Department to determine Department school or Hoard of Education philosophy with regard to athletics in the secondary schools As a result both The and Mils Lehn have caused reputation of hard working well people to be called into question 11 is un fortunate but true that many people who read articles en titled Opinion accept the content as fact and truth Miss Lehns articles were factual and were in large part based upon her feelings If she is lo continue as a reporter she should learn the fine line between personal opinion and defamation the ighl of her opinion but opinion based upon incumplitc acts can be harmful and is therefore inexcusable If The Hi raid or Miss Lehn would be interesting in learn more about the philosophy which guides our approach to athletics at Acton High School I would be most willing to make a presentation know the will show us not lobe the incompetent insensitive chauvinistic personalities of which we have
