OUR READERS WRITE Out to lunch with a pole Out To Lunch Down in our little township Where the speckled beauties play I hide my pole down by the hole For when I sneak away I sit down among the blackflies With my little jug of tea I rest content in temperament Theres nothing bothering me From the clatter of the typemachines And figures in the took have no care when Im out there With a rainbow on my hook Now every year about this time This dread disease breaks out Spring fever flood gets in my blood Its time to fish for TROUT Sympathetic to retarded adults The Acton Free Press

Drag way has no I changed since the first year it was in force Bowman told council he had heard the would be allowed to seven days a week When he asked if the The Acton Free Press Dear Sir I would like to comment on last week article Social Bias Shelves Plan for Home for Retarded It was extremely disap pointing to find that people still have and plan to keep their biased opinions for the mentally retarded They must not know anything at all about the mentally retarded If they did they would realize that there would be no danger what of anyone from the home being a hazard to their children This only goes to show their own ignorance The community people by verbal survey had no objection to the Idea but one woman alone who opposed the idea rallied enough support to have fie plan turned down They do not want to change or give these adults a chance This la proven by the fact that these people would not even come to observe the mentally retarded in another workshop They were given the chance to base their opinions on something con such as a personal observation but refused They hove no right to place such low standards on the mentally retarded If they were educated and knew what the retarded were like they would realize that they are the most loving kind and forgiving people there are They would be an asset to the community I am truly sympathetic with Mr and Mrs Isham By reading the article I know how great their frustration must be I give them all my support and hope that another site within a considerate com m unity can be found Yours sincerely HEADING for

back at them with Bowman concluded SUNDAY MAY 13th is Mothers Day A Gin FROM CHOOSE FROM THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS Steam trip wonderful outing Dear Sir People of today arc very much averse to anything not modern 1 do not see the reason for the Esquesing council to be so set against running a steam train from Cheltenham to Georgetown All the pollution from steam engines goes to feed plants trees and farmers crops The exhaust from a car truck dlesel or gas engine of any kind causes the most pollution in the world today If this train draws a crowd from other parts the novelty would soon wear off This proposal of a train trip would be a wonderful outing for everyone without the worry of driving ones self It would be a nostalgic trip for the senior citizen to whom the steam trains were a happy way of travel in the past years The argument against this enterprise is one of the most childish things Ive ever heard of Percy J Woods Show sympathy for the living Dear Sir In last k s Free Press there was a letter a very good letter referring to Respect for the Dead Respect for the Living The writer had a very good point It gave me the opportunity to continue a subject and to write in this manner Such as a time to show sympathy when It is golden when this has passed It is too late We did not go near our friend when he was fighting his battle alone We might have helped him then What use is there in coming to him now when he has conquered without our aid We paid no attention to our friend when he or she was bending under lifes loads and struggling with difficulties and adversities We never told him that we sympathized with him Now that he is dead and lying in his coffin what is the use in our standing beside his still form telling people how nobly he battled sneaking words of com me nidation We let him go on when he so sorely needed our warm sympathy We missed our opportunity to help The latter part in last week s letter the writer gave us food for thought Offences involving
