our readers write on motokvoes 101 pojptafr avo acton ontario october 18 1966 to tjifc gditor of the free press arid itie citizens of acton 4s motorcycle club spelled tjjmmjwje recently while attempting to rent the new band hall for a banquet i was told that this would not be possible because of the public opinion towards motorcycle clubs xus aocahed public opinion says that all motorcycle riders are nothing but a bunch of black leather jacketed hood lum thjs is not true personally i am a member of the yellowjackets motor cycle club inc of georgetown our club is chartered by the ontario government and is affil iated with the canadian motor- cycle association the governing body of motorcycle sport and enjoyment in canada cwa members range from young children to executives of large and important businesses ttie cjma is also a member of the canadian amateur sports fed eration some of our members include a georgetown police officer a head nurse in the georegtown hospital and many office wor kers including an office man ager who is also president of the chib some of the services our club has provided in the last few years havej-includedjpartici- pation in at least two safety rodeos for motorcycles teach and examine young riders in the finer and safer points of motorcycle riding we have enjoyed the privil ege of being color guard at mosport park ont for the last turee iplayers 200 and the past two canadian grand prixs i am sure many of the people of acton who have attended these two biggest sports car races in canada have seen our group carrying the flags of about is nations of the world staring uu year our club has spent much time and money sponsoring nine major events which looking back over at tendance records seemed to be enjoyed by a large number of people a large majority of whom wore acton citizens much of the money made from receipts of these events was spent with acton merch ants for such commodities as advertising clothing for the club uniforms etc materials used ifor laying out and running the events plus food and soft drinks lor the refreshment booth most off all motorcycle sport ing events held in canada are sponsored by the canadian mo torcycle association which is affiliated with the federation international motorcycling or fim the fijm a french organi zation was founded in 1904 and is the world governing body of motorcyclists motorcyclists are the ones you dont read ab out in the courts column in canada few people have heard ot the fim but if you have ever lived in europe or the british isles and were an enthusiast you would know that most european champion ships and all world champion ship races are governed by this organization in europe the rider of a mo- member something about a bunch of socalled young hood lums on motorcycles using the race track as a drag strip i have also seen many people in cars using the same track for a drag strip there is no sign pertaining to cars if someone is driving a car and breaks the law it is he who suffers but if a cyclist breaks the law all cyclists suffer is this fair a riders clothing is not worn to make him look like some thing out of a movie but for protection leather jackets in cold weather leather is the best pro tection from the wind in case of accidents it wears much bet ter than cloth or skin black does not show dirt and road dust as much as a lighter color boots most motorcycles are kickstarted and shoes are not practical for this purpose nor are shoes practical in cold or wet weather blue jeans the same rea sons apply here as to leather ja ckets helmet this is the most important safety device a rider can wear most cyclists injured in mishaps receive head injur ies i am sure you can see all this is not meant to make the rider look hard next year our club and its members will continue to spon- jsor events for the enjoyment of the citizens of acton and sur- rounding district all that is asked is that the people of acton recognize the difference between the true cyc list or sportsman and the ones that ruin public opinion towards the average cyclist if this type of rider was not rid ing he would not be any differ ent punish the law breakers not everyone who rides or owns a motorcycle thank you wayne wilson more views on lunkett report dear sir in mysapinion the plunkett report is a very sound piece of planning it ends once and for all the costly duplication caus ed by too many chiefs and too few indians we canadians are the most overgoverned people there is not only are we overgoverned but very often at the municipal level government is almost like the blind leading the blind men unaccustomed to handling little more than a pay cheque find themselves spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax payers money if the plunkett report is accepted i think there will be more competition for public office more eyes watch ing those elected in your editorial in the cham pion you expressed gratifica tion for the fact that no local politicians had made snap de cisions after reading this re port unfortunately in another weekly publication published in a nearby town several public officials did comment on the report councillor tom hill esques- ing stated wheres democra cy gone they have taken all the wealth to the south and left the north poor well we on tlie county roads have been the poor relations of halton for years our roads de g roads committees of the past remain little better than cart tracks they are sel dom plowed before late after noon in winter if at all the excuse when vie phone and complain is that all the equip ment is tied up rn the south end of fhecounty reeve bill coulter nassaga- weya in the same paper stat ed we still have the county seat both ipeel county and brampton have gone into debt for many thousands of dollars to pay for new local govern ment facilities we have done the same thing with the new ad ministration building it would be a very foolish move to leave these buildings in a state of non existence reeve coulter was told when the hearings for the new build ings were held and in a letter to the editor of thispaper that nassagaweya would soon be an nexed or otherwise taken over and to build the new building would be a waste of the taxpay ers money however he and his council and the o mb were too shortsighted to see this personally i have onlv one beef about the plunkett report and that is the name of the northern rural county although i know the name peelhalton as yet is onlv for means of identi fication where is the romance the imagination w a

off declar er to expect trouble west led his top club and dummy was spread well everything looked rosy four spade tricks four club tricks two diamonds a heart and atieart ruff would add up to a small slam so what could go wrong well that double sounded like it had some trump with it and probably the heart king the heart king is no toother but jf west has four trump declar er must proceed carefullv he could take out trump but then he wouldnt ruff a heart declarer w6n the club in dummy and leads a low trump sure enough east showed out declarer played hie king am west refused the trick by play ing low a low trump is led and the eight is played in dum my now a heart to the ace and a heart is ruffed in dummy the jack of spades is played and west wins however it does not matter what he leads south can win and take out the last trump even if west wins the second trump and leads a third round declarer can get has heart ruff in and still have an entry to take out wests last trump maybe just mavbe if west does not double and if declarer does not anticipate trouble west will make two trump tricks declarer- mav lead a low spade to dummy and play the jack then west must make a couple of spades doubles of slams should not be made if they wilj help declarer make the contract last weeks winners were first harry frost and ralph barber tied for second betty ashleyand penny bristow with cam
