Acton Free Press I feel compelled to write this letter in hopes it may prompt some people to stop and think Some may remember my story it appeared July 1975 on the full front page of the Toronto Sun- WIDOW S 000 NIGHTMARE Part of my problem stemmed from the builder most of it from the fact the Chief Building Inspector of this area overlooked thirteen Building Infractions and six Fire Hazards overlooked also was the fact a permit was secured with one set of plans and another set used to build a different house Only those who have actually ex penenced some such circumstances can fully appreciate the following 2 Vi years of nightmares and agony which followed During that time I wrote to and telephoned every available department set up forjust this purpose Consumers Affairs Uniform Building By Laws Property Rights Ombudsman Premier Davis Office the list is endless it also includes the Georgetown Council the area in which I live I did contact my Member of Parliament Mr Julian Reed he did try but was hampered by red tape Finally in desperation I called a Mr William Johnson a name I noticed on an election poster in my area Mr Johnson immediately answered my call he visited my house wrote letters arranged meetings which he attended on my behalf At one point I had 15000 gallons of water yes gallons flood my basement where all my fur niture was stored Mr Johnson arrived minutes after my call and he and a friend another NOP member by the way baled water for nearly a day in water up to their knees They both took time off work to do some of these deeds Not once did I hear Sorry its not myjunsdiction Mr Johnson did his level best as a human being He did his utmost for me he would do his utmost for you he s that kind of a person Which brings me to the point of this letter Mr Johnson is a member of the NDP party Not once did I hear a word on politics nor a word of repayment From what I have experienced these people seem to be more interested in the plight of the people and this country than most politicians whose main interest seems to be money and power If the first product you buy is unsatisfactory try another if it too fails go to a third even though you may not be too familiar with it Why NOT give the NDP a try You can vote them in you can vote them out too it you so desire Most people are not too concerned with politics until it touches their lives per sonally All I can say if it had not been for Mr Johnson and his friends I honestly dont think I could have survived this experience Today more than ever before people should stop and think about the real person they are voting in not just the name of the party Would your party give up a days wages to bale by hand 15000 gallons of water out of your basement Thank you Mr Johnson for all your time your efforts and your work on my behalf My only regret is that there are not more Bill Johnsons and his kind in this world Mrs H Barrack 5 SIderoad
