Thé Canaýdian Statesmân, Bowmaànville, July 21, 1971 Needham's Realism Makes You Think Whaether you approve or disapprove- of his commentsý, you certainly have to hand it to that controversial coluridnist Ric",hard J. Needham of The Globe & M-ail, he stirs them up.. much more sýo thani even that loveable old vet Gordon Sinclair on CFRB.' Taehis Tucsday, July l6th colum n, forinsane The catchyheading says PlaeTake Your Drugs and Die".

It's difficilt t o decide whether he was real- lysicr or just attempting to joît hîs readers out of theiir doldumsnf and it really doesn't matter because it did arouse some to reply in nio uncertain terms . . . one letter even favoring his stand, but others condemning him as a modern day Hitier. 11 J. H. Wade of the Osgoode Law School submitted what we thoughtwas-, the best reply. Brief excerpis from bis lengthy letter refer to Mr. Needham's encouragement to weed-out of our soc- iety a lot of people who probably need to be weeded out - weak, useless peo- pie wl-r simply clutterup the scene. "If life is the greatest thing in the world then a society which f ails'to care for the worthless and unlovely has failed to achieve greatness," wrote Mr. Wade. "Surely, one hope of mankind is to sus- tain and encourage an attitude more humane than survival of the fittest.", We' can only hope that Mr. Need- ham wi1l continue for many years to make us think , . . he's tremendous, though we often don't agree with.him. But the wonderful part is that he just doesn't seem to care, he's going to take a stand anyway, even if it should affect his popularity. Regrettably, there just aren't too'many of hisbreed left and that's a crying shame. Io the'&8itO r OLD TOOLEYZS MILL Dear Editor: Sevemal matters haviais- en a.bot which a great many peaple have zAkd me for more particulars, so, bers' goes. Hundreda of peoplediv- ing on the road near where Tooley's Milli and house stood formayyas have remarkcd on, the( most hor- rible uins onti hewest bill at Toolcyý,s Mill where the late Jiiro Balsojn fammed until bis dcath durng the second wor'ld war, so I will describe this propety I knew fmom early boyhood uinil today. Origginally, Isaac Salter wedthis famm. He was a hiall brother of the notcd Harry Slter who lived on the top of the bill just cast aI Tooley's Mill.i. Harywa anc, of 1the grýcatest bm huilders la Daiaîýglon and aise migbty, good at heavy factory construction. Isaac hired Hary to build the barn after the masoas, the Vice brothers, huilt the tone basenqent fmom field tone dawn fom local land. Receatly, mcn came tri the bara and comineaccd taking it down. Suddenly, the entîme structure secmed ta faîl ail to picces. Alter that, the men continu cd mc- moving the mcmaining stonewomk. It is actually just as deadful-looking as I saw7 in London, Eagland, wheîl: I semxed tbre years w;th the British Red Cross during the war. Gttiag back ta the broth- crs, Isaac took legal actton against bis hall brother Harry, elaiming he had been overchargcd. They, like many brothers, wcre neyer fricnds again, I am sorry ta state. Now, I wihl insert some- thing concering the um- ors af ghosts conncctcd with the' place. For many years, reports sprcad about a hcadless horseman riding la that amea. People wce s0 frightencd that many xvomcn would not walk thome alone at night because they fearcd the ghost. For many ycars, I -used to bclp Jim Balson tbresh his grain on the propemty. I also helped hlm'draw bis hay and kili pigs evemy year. Heofcore used to help my folkka(do these saojobs we we needed There's anc aad item 1 must relate. Nok, 1 walk through the nid piece of road covering.the two hilîs and bow sad it is to sec the dead birds, bit by motor cars driving at, twicc the specd limit stated. on the SIgo.1 sec kittens killed whichý will brîng tears ta the eycs of some child, also rabbits cushed under the whccls and once in a while a dog gets killed. I can't hclp recalling the Bible whîch states that the Creat- or saw even the spammow whon it tell. Incidentally, its tmagic ta read wbere those Russians who went up and around the aid moon endcd up la death through some burst- ing of a bole in their ma- chine., To bring this article toaa close, I repeat the statemOnt i rcad wheme it said the motor cars have killcd more than the wars. Now, I wil sign off with bcst regards ta yau and your staff. Longboat. (Ral ph R.
