OUR READERS WRITE Cornerstone laid to rest I write this with a tear In my Something has departed from my home the corner of a great edifice which had its demise In For years our public school noy more great stonesoul had patiently perse and uprif htiy served the citizens of Rock wood and when turn came to die its corner sat by the alone desert d I went over to Rive the wreckers tonpue tongue lashing but they answered Progress lady progress to calm my frustrated feeling one led to the stone Would you like that You its oldest living teacher You would love it most I proud of my stone With the kind Kelso a concise history was prepared and recently the superintendent of the Wellington County at Mr came and took it away my great educational stone to its lust resting Yours truly An open letter to two brave men Please accept my apologies for to try to reach by an open letter But the fact is don know who you although I wish 1 did As you know I live outside Acton but close enough to town for you to be able to to property I Jist Friday afternoon at lhats exactly what you did You walked to my property and trespassed on It However that Is not what this letter is bout gentlemen It Is about the skill hardihood courage and Just fashioned exhibited Unfortunately you are so modest about it that your adventure may 10 unrecorded for posterity This letter may correct that deficiency somewhat You see gentlemen you seem somehow to have found out that my dangerous and social hobby Is the raising of various species of domestic ducks Obviously concerned with the safety of the population of Ac ton and I you must determined to eliminate these well known pests Thus on last Friday without any fanfare of publicity you two thrust Into the dense bush on my expedition of derringdo and fraught with grcut d to yourselves The two of you armed with more deadly than a shotgun single took on these ferocious and deservedl notorious predators And killed them In public therefore although I do not know names I want to congratulate flic mind boggles at the risks you ran and the courage you displayed Ducks The verj mention of their name is enough to make the stoutest of hearts tremble Yet you were not deterred Of course with eunninL opponents like these you could not too estimate your distance from them when opened fire as being far aw as feet Nevertheless consider what you accomplished At least four killed outright badly maimed who managed somehow crawl Into the rowth and lit there later- you were quite not to follow him and put him out of his is more potentially dangerous than a wounded duck when cornered Another paralyzed from the gunshot wuunds you inflicted on It drifted down mi en to pond unublt to swim 1 am you will be pleased to hear i watching this creature now very closely I happy to be able to report to you that it is still paralysed probably in considerable agony and almost certain to die You will be particularly gratified to hear this sure since death as all hunters know is not really enough for ducks Torture is preferable whenever It can be managed I recognise your keen desire for anonymity But I have to report to you that there are still foolish and misguided people around those in fact who know about your brand of sportsmanship and and who would characterize your deeds as being mindlessly cruel predatory and the actions of moronic cowards Thus the purpose of this letter is to partially reassure you on point Whoever you are gentlemen I am personally delighted with the courage and humaneness you displayed In this business fins mast be one of the rare instances in which domestic ducks have been cornered on private property and slaughtered or maimed for the public Your modesty in the enterprise outshines even your altruism and sheer manliness But your obvious reluctance to come forth and be for what you are is a great pity Modesty is I realise Its own reward But Gentlemen you may rest assured that if you could make yourselves known to me you wouldn find me churlish or ungrateful On the contrary I have a request to make of you I also have several dozen tame mice here Now if I could somehow engage your services to hunt them down and slay them but that is too much to expect I am sure Suffice it to say Gentlemen that if you could make yourselves know to me I will be delighted to express my gratitude to you in even more tangible form than an open letter to the local newspaper In the meantime pay no attention to those uninformed folk who would call you brutal cowards without human intelligence or decency There will always be hearts like that around Gentlemen Instead let me just say I hop I meet you some day when I m out hunting Yours very sincerely Jim Henderson Ociol 1971 ACRO speaker
