Jh~e 8c/àor you, as farnily men and women, In al good conscience, face yaur family and honestly say yeu are genuinely inter- ested in their welfare? In my opinion, there is only ONE question of importance - Are we going te sit idly by and wait untîl someone becomes seriously ill because o! this problern and only then 'lock the barn door a! ter the herse has been stelen' as is done se aften, or are we geing te prove aurselves ta be first, responsible parents, second, forward-thinking citi- zens, and go ahead with the installation o! sewers? The monetary question should be secondary. Wauid you refuse te take vour seriouslv ilI loved one ta the dcc- ton because his prices are ton high? It amounts te the sarne thing yau know! Yours in U-Tood Health, Margaret Breret on (Mrs. Samuel J.) Have Lost Track of Real Truth Octaber 16, 1969 Dear Sir: I must confess that 1 was amazeè te read Mr. Pidgeon's recent letter re. garding the Great Fine Ridge Festival 1 had always assurned that Mr. Pidgeon was a progressive-minded mnan. HoIwever, he seerns to echo a fairiy general misunderstandintg regardinQ the Festival. Perhaps the Festival itseil ix to blarne; it has heen so widely adver- tised as a festival FOR YOUTH that people hav'e Iost track of the real truti - the Festival is flot for youth neari' so much as it is FOR NEWCASTLE. Theatres don't exist tn serve actors; thbey exist to serve thpir audiences. 1rhe city of Stratfnrd has gained far more from the Stratford Shakespearear Festival than any particular actor, dir- ector or hacksta.ge technician has ever gained! This large-scale, far-reaching kind of benelit is what was hoped for Newcastle and the surrounding area. But a few more comments like Mr. Pidlgenn's would make one wonder whether Newcastle deserves the Festi- val! Surely if a hundred young people choose te corne bere and work their Great Pine Ric Newcastle, Ont. Je)rEditor, -1 Your recent issue contained some comments on the Pine Ridge Festival at Newcastle by my good friend F. B. Pidgeon. While 1 arn not ernpowered te answer these comments officially;, as a member of the Lions Club for sorne ten years, and as a Director of the Festival since its inception, I have sorne knowl- edge of the facts, and the following éomments, in point form, will I hope, help ta) clarify some of the issues. 1. - The Issue - Multiple Use We ail agree that as Newcastle's nnly service club the Lions have ac- complîshed many things. In this partic- ular case it was the Board's suggestion that a professional opinion be sought on the type of installation being made in the H-all for the purpase of preserv- ing sight lines to the stage. As Mr. Pidg- @on indicates the Hall is a multiple use building, and the Festival sought only to keep that multiple use. The same will .iow have ta be accarnplished by other rneans, which nieans are being investi- gated by persons concerned. There wvas and is no conflict with the Lions Club as a Club, only a difference of opinion because of a different intended use of the building. 2. - THE MASSEY VIEWPOINT In regard ta the use of the Cern- munity Hall generally, the following is a quotation fromn the original Massey grant in regard ta sorne of the uses of the building : "such as wiIl cultivate and prornote arnong the cîtizens of the Village of Newcastle an interest in educa- lion and good citîzenship . .. music and drama, patriotism, public wel- fare and religion." These among other aims indicate that the Masseys intended : (a) the Hall as a rnultiple use building, (b> the Hall was intended te prommte dramna. 3. - TIME 0F USE The Festival do use the Hall al summer, but to the knnwledge of the Directors the only other arganization which had booked was the Newcastle H-orticultural Society, and the Board cancelled one performance in order that this show could be put on. 4. - INCOME The rentai was $500-00 a season, VILLjAGE 0F NEW(AI WILL REVERT TO hearts out ta entertain us thev r1eser'e 1IGreg Forget - Lloyd Taylor Gord Cowling Gord Watson Bill Williams i NewtouvIlle Ladlea 175 and Over 'Liz WiIJerns -- Marg McDonald____ Wyllene Rahme Doreen Cameron Wilda Simipson --- - Thursday Mlxed 200 and Over Marilyn Couch ......

Dear Editor, I meant ta stay completely out of this sewer confrontation, mainly because I amn in favor of having them installed, but what I have heard and read on the subjeet up to naw, positively disgusts me. guch canduct from supposedly res- ponsible adults! This rnast important matter has become nothîng more than a muck-rak- ing, narne-calling, personaity-involved political football and such action is in- excusable! Surely our concern for a happy, HEALTHY community rises above such conduct! The main purpose o! this proposai seemns ta have been Iast in the fray. May I nernind ane and all the health of aur farnîlies in particular, and of the comrnunitY as a whale, should be the prime concern.
