Open Letter From Walkerton Town Council A- membirs c the Walkerton City Council, we are alway pleased when a .-incerely eon rein.

"Wring time .. . for whom ”” The author, him ■! admits. "It prob tbly is t> greatest convenience 'or all wh have children in ho I to hau the town and school on the m,time . . and thi-, admitted:, h i been our m tj< c<>r *:n Th most sE ni.li mt dutx of mx worthwhile city council i t< strive for the ultimate in r positive relationship within the community, and. according to tin author’s own words, our slnren concern for the best solution t* the < mplex Indiana time problem seems to have paid off. In the same wav, the author's concern for consideration to "the business of the area" seems to bo a bit perplexing. Judging f; m the fact that the editorial w i written on .Monday or Tuesd ty o f the first week, he wouM tn to have allowed sr ant opp a- - unity for the full effect to be completely realized Undoubtedly the author's initial, temporarily uncom "nrtable response to the time changes of very few’ nea by communities has lead him t formulate certain hasty ger* alizations which could gn-uh benefit from a clarity of j sp* Clive Finally, we feel that the author must be reminded th it his suggestion that the ba rd "look into the situation a little and find out how the PEOPLE OF WALKERTON the ones they represent, L• I ibout thi- tim< situation" is superfluous. Till board has be* n duly elected bx the taxpayers of this < mmumt’, t<» speak for them in uch matters after a sin* ere ■ nsidertti n o' how they Would de ;re V be represented.
