HarraPs, Vau- ghans ai-d Simpson's ai course, havent seen the Beach this year, but felt the same way last vear about the condition ai the beach. "«Surely comnian sense would indicate that when gravel is continually taken from the same location causing a deep batik ta forrn, erosion will take place should the lake ever rise. The Provincial Inspectar who inves- 'tigated the beach last year even mentioned this in bis repart. Last suinmer the gougîng of the bull dozer leit a deep de- pression behind the shore line iwhich iilld with water and be- came green and slimy with a profusion of ugly weeds. This is certainly not a very pleasant outlook for those people who take a pride in their cottages- as well as paying town, taxes! I believe there were ane or two people who f elt that the beach would "f il in again ai its awn accord aiter the winter" but this is flot the case. When the snow melted this Spring the deep depression was st-ill there just as it was during the suin- mer. "The section Ilu front of aur cottage was more deeply bull- dazed than some others-almast ta the lawn simply because the -tree line f alîs somewhat far- ther back in this section, whlle farther ta the east roots ai manY oi the treez have been leit ex- posed. *'If the town arbitrarily e fuses ta do anythlng about the' diagraceful condition of the beach, it would seem the only recourse left to the cottage owners is legai action ta help pscserve sonme semblance ai beauty i a niow almost-ruined lake front."

Hamipton, Ont, May 51 1959. Dear McI. James. I have been attending an- other public meeting re the Darlington Towm.hip Zonmng By-law and I, as a citizen af a free land, arn deeply apprehen- sive. 1 have attended thousands of meetings in my long life and neyer before have I been ub licly embarrassed. Whain. more I doubt if ever the resi- dents of the «townsh'ip have been m» dicredlted. It was thought necessary, by somne one, to have a policeman present and, inl my case ta de- niand* I take rny seat when I had reapectfully addressed the chair, and with no one else on bis feet at the saine time. I was tald if I had anything ta say ta have It said by 'counsel'. I was about ta ask for a ruling frein the chair, as ta the free- dom of the public ta have a part in this 'Public' meeting. I was not creating a nuisance in any way and, ta, my thinking, nat creating an occasion for po- lice order. Not since I was in Red-held territory has an arm- cd man feit it his duty ta sal act-though this policeman was acting under orders. Arn 1, in Canada, to be tald by a policeman, at a public meeting, flot ta speak? But the point is what are we coming ta? This is a case of autocracy, unjustified by any anarchy or disturbance. Had there been a request for order I should have been able ta assure the 'Chair', on my own appeal ta my friends, of decoruni. There is this question of when is a public meeting a public meeting, and who makes a pub- lic and what niakes public par- ticipation? Has an individual naw no right to speak on his own behaîf, or those who cali hixn friend, or m.ust he be a lawyer or kept in place by an armed man? I, too, have f aced guns and bayorietes and wounds, but flot by my own countrymen on orders from their superiors. Just how close ta a Gestapo have we com e? Now, 1 should like ta defend the petition which I frarned asking for a deferme nt of action adequately done, and that the calling af "all parties interest- cd li support af, or oppasing this application" at this time, and also on April 13th , was most inopportune and ùnipos- sible for many of the ratepayers of the township. This is one ai the reasons wtiy nearly anc thousand rate- payera, wlthout c»ercion, wlth. very few abstaining, sigcned the petition af protest and request' for a vote. Yourà, truly, Fred J.
