column the mail bag two extremely interesting lettersto the editor were printed in a recent herald which isan indica tion that some readers are answering an earhev appeal to make use of the herald to express their vtews on topical questions while we prefer that names be in cluded in the printed letter we do not require this fot instance a week previously a letter concerning spor ting readers was printed under a nomdeplume as was one last week many times however when letters are submitted of a highly controversial nature we insist that the wrjter publicly reveal himself for an anony mous letter tends to create the impression that the views expressed are those of the editor while they might quite well be entirely the opposite we do not in any case publish a letter whose author has not re vealed hirnself to us as evidence of his good faith last weeks letters both asked questions which deserve further comment we do not feel qualified to deal too deeply with mr bruyns pertinent observa tions on land and housing wastes being created by ur ban ownership of farming properties we are assured that he knows t he speaks and that as an exfar mer andean agricultural economist he is seriously con cerned v lth a problem which is most apparent in our rural communities so close to the 1 oronto and hamil ton melropoles at the same time there is the point that manv city men with funds to treat their farms asa hobby hac actually done more for land and houses than an bona fide farmer could hope to do with his limited capital and this tends to offset to some extent the harm done hv the unmindful r 1 odd has abked us specifically to deal with the pro tons of sex education ija our schools and on this we should like to take a rain check for awhile for there are many angles to the subject which require more thought and research than time permits at pre sent a citizens forum it is to be hoped that reeve maclarens idea of a ratepayers association expressevat the nomination meeting will not be allowed to dweut and that an in- terested group of citizens will promote the idea there are many apparent advantages to the formation of such j group the mairtone being that council would have the benefit of intelligent organized assistance in deal ing with municipal problems the gray coach fiasco for instance might never have come about last year had council been able to feel the public pulse before rather than after they decided to chase the bus company off main street ratepayers are too prone to criticize acuorra of the town fathers without realizing that these elected mensare doing their best to interpret the desires of the electorate while having no yardstick by which to judge this opinion except casual conversations with their own circle of friends if such criticism were publicly aired at meetings of a recognized ratepayers association the dross could be weeded out and the worthwhile presented to council with some teeth in it the coun cil the voters and the town in general would derive considerable benefit from the process how you will benefit l7 rladin the owtui sobkfwwtot yoo m y0rah tht dmkintonmd persom m your cotmmty on world affair
