OUR READERS WRITE Surprises for Johnson Dear Sir Each time I attend Regional Council meetings I am amazed at the way our calleddemocraticsystemfiuictions At the last such meeting April my amaze ment turned to disbelief I learned that in an effort to cut down solid waste a levy was to be imposed on commercial and trial garbage As an environmentalist I applauded this decision but when the chairman or the works committee stated that a study was to be conducted to find out the quantities of commercial and industrial waste going into regional garbage dumps I just could not believe my cars Surely the works committee chairman is aware that this information is already available on Page of the Dillon Report In these times of restraint it is criminal to pay for a further study It is true and commercial wastes are shown as one figure but the norm being one ton per person per year this could be applied and subtracted from the statistics shown and the result would be reasonably curate My second surprise was Milton to explore the possibility of using Site H Milton Brick Quarry for a garbage disposal The Dillon Report considers this site only acceptable for dry inert waste rom the regional council meeting I got the impression that some secret inform ation not available to the public was filed somewhere at Regional suggesting that Site could be used for ordinary garbage If this is so the whole of the Dillon Report is questionable for if in formation has been withheld on one site information could have been withheld on any or all of the sites William A Johnson Red Cross

weeks in a row at the ice carnival rehearsal and again at the carnival Our reporter got the wrong name when the first picture was taken The second time the reporter was told she was the same girl picture was in the week before As any horseman knows clipping a horse can be an ex ticklish business thing Hike it The clippers are noisy unless you have those expensive new quiet Jobs they lrnlate the horse and make him ner vous Most horse figure it a good time to become frightened and unmanageable I do very little clipping these days letting nature take its course But there is one old girl who has her mane and pasterns trimmed in the spring She part draft so has an abundance of hair and even though she s twenty one years old we still ride her A little spring clean up is in order Mj rock This morning I pulled out the faithful old Sunbeam clip persthe noisy ones with several teeth missing and about as much cutting edge as pinking shears Gypsy was brought in from the field and cross tied in the bam I plugged the clippers in the outlet above her head placed my upsidedown in place of stool buttoned up the old coat to keep horse hair out of by bra and away we went The old mare is a rock and well used to this clipping lark- thank goodness Just as was standing on my head trimming Gypsy back hoof heads two racing roosters flashed past my nose between Gypsy front legs and out the barn door the pursuer screaming his head off white the pursuer was crowing threateningly The mare never turned a hair never twitched a leg Help from b While doing her off front hoof it was necessary to drape the electric cord over Gypsy back and down side of her neck I do this with any other horse Intent onher off hoof I hardly felt the bump as I landed face down in the straw The ninny enraged that one of his ladles had been taken away from him had jumped the gate and belted full tilt into the bam and me We managed to get that one sorted out unravelling the poor old girl from the clippers and penning up the Still not a word or a grumble out of the dear old thing I was swearing like a sailor Trimming the mane was hardly according to Hints for Better Horsemanship I kept hopping up and down on my bucket chewing hunks of hair off the neck as the clippers slipped Hinny whinnied continuously as he crashed around the stall All five peacocks left the roost and winged Gypsy ear In full flight as they decided to leave The dog got so excited she began to give voice a round up chickens The calm collected unperturbed body in the middle of all this t me it was the horse She was only too glad to have her toilet completed and be allowed to return to her quiet field When clipping horses pair gets conditional severance A couple sue hurdled Hal ton Hills land division committee in a bid
