Port Perry Star, [ would appreciate having the fol-! lowing letter printed in your paper. To Whom it may Concern: There have been a lot of anonymous phone ealls from both men and women to the-local- Welfare Officer and the Children's Aid during the past 2 yrs. | It seems some local tax-payers, as They call themselves, have nothing more to do than phone lies and threats concerning me. You people who have so many com- plaints to make regarding my child- ven and I, why don't you come to me? Perhaps the gentleman who thinks I am an unfit mother would like to prove this in court. Maybe he'd also like to prove what he told the Welfare Officer about her job. Perhaps: the lady who phoned this sume Welfare Officer would like to prave all she had to say. * You nosey busy-bodies had better make sure of your' complaints after this Defamation of character is <apafpst the law. ' I kitow ahout- the Delegation trying "to have my Family Allowance taken away I happen to have a Doctor's Certificate stating the rea- sons my boys have missed school. from me. Just because oI live on Welfare is no reason for people to stick their nose into my affairs. I have the right to live my own life. I"happen to know 804 of my Wel- fare comes from the Provincial Gov- crnment, so stop complaining that your tax-money is keeping me. I am not the only Canadian receiving Wel: fare. Don't ever think because of all the lies around here that ll give up my home and family. 1 have more back- bone than that, } Please note--the Welfare and the Children's Aid ave pretty well fed up with phone calls from crank's that won't give their names. If you are too ashamed to give your name, you should be too ashamed to even bother phoning. There are ways of tracing phone calls. Had some people taken time to phone the Clinic, they would have saved a lot of running around and bothering people, concerning my childien's school absences, Will the persons not guilty of these phone calls nnd complaints, please dis- regard this letter.
