To the Editor, In listening to news on our radio this morning may I quote "Mayor Paleczny does not think the City Counâ€" cil has the right to tell the taxpayer where or when he should do his shopping and the business man can do as he so likes, when and what time he wants to close or open his shop?" Even the socialist revolutionâ€" ary, Gamel Nasser, has been unâ€" able to rescue Egypt from its traditional Jewish hatred. It has thus been Nasser â€" whose counâ€" try has the least cause to fight Israel because it shares little common border â€" who has inâ€" voked the absurd Moslem call for Jihad â€" Holy War against the Jews. Would Mayor Paleeczny then explain please, why the taxpayer does not get the right this fall to say yes or no who wants fluoridation in our good water. in the 20th century, any nationâ€" al leader who incites his people to Holy War in the name of reâ€" While the Israckis were putting the land under the plow, building andustry and fostering education, ber Arab neighbors have remainâ€" ed trapped in the ageâ€"old poverty which has always gripped the masses of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and the rest of the Arab Middle It is said it is not being put in water that is being used in the University section of the City as they need pure water. Don‘t we the taxpayers need pure water too? I would like to see our Mayor‘s explanation against pure water for all taxpayers in your paper. Thus come the violent disagreeâ€" ments between Jew and Arab which have unsettled the Middle East, threatened to touch off a new war of flame and fire in the lands which cradled civilization, and created new tensions between the big powers. Because the achievements of Israel have so overâ€"shadowed the stil feudal way of life of its backâ€" ward Arab neighbors, the overâ€" whelming sympathy of Canada and the West is with Israel in its current gallant struggle with the Arab Middle East. Significantly, maps produced in Arab countries do not identify the territory by its generallyâ€"acceptâ€" ed name. Such maps will refer This little village is found on few maps.

Unable to uplift his people, probably also unable to win a military clash, the Nasser bluster is a desperate diplomatic gamile, aimed at winning a morâ€" al victory over Israel without actually having to fight for it. Toronto Telegram News Service The Arab position, as taken by Nasser and his allies, is that Isâ€" rael must be destroyed and Paleâ€" stine returned to Arab rule. The force of history, however, clearly endorses Israel as both the Middle East‘s only democracy and its only modern state. Nasser‘s â€" socialist â€" revolution has failed to move Egypt into the and thence to the Far East. While the US and Canada have deciared the Gulf to be international watâ€" ers, the Soviets have injected big power rivalry by backing Nasser in his action in ordering the Gulf closed and his threats to sink any Israeli ship using the waterway. one in which the slow negotiation of diplomacy might have dampâ€" ened the fuse of war.

The meeting was held in the Waterloo Chambers (Mayor Fischer thought it would be a courtesy to meet the Berlin comâ€" mittee).

At 7 p.m., all mail going out was closed and I then went home for my evening meal and then back to the office to dispatch a closed mail which was picked up by the street railway at 8:20 p.m. and then‘again at 9:30 p.m. to reâ€" ceive the incoming mail. This was my work for six days a week â€" no coffee breaks â€" and no days off during the week. Shortly after I started I was married and moved into an apartâ€" ment above what was then a con fectionary and ice cream store. This building has since been reâ€" novated and enlarged, and is preâ€" sently â€"occupied by the Natural Gas offices. This apartment was quite hanâ€" dy to my work as the door was only about 30 feet to the post ofâ€" fice. When it was moved tq the new building it was but a block away. My duties started at 7 a.m., and continued until the last mail was in, which at that time, was never before 9:30 p.m. (how the workers of today would cry about those hours). At noon, a mail came in from the east, after this was sorted (which was about 12:30) I went home for my noon meal and was back again by two. I then closed a mail for the east which was carried to Berlin by the Eimira train. The first mail had to be sorted and ready by 7:30 a.m., then locked in a bag for Toronto and picked up by the street railway who had the contract to carry the mail from the post office to the Grand Trunk station in Berlin. to what use the building will serve the community best, he is to be complimented for such civic service.

Somehow I managed to get an appointment with him for a cerâ€" tain night. I sat down beside him at the table and explained the benefits of a policy, how it gave protection to his mother. and what it would do for him in his later years â€" you see, I did not sell the insurance, I sold him the idea, and he bought. After leaving the post office, I accepted a position with the Do mimion Express in Toronto, then in 1921 I came back and took a debit with the Prudential Life Insurance Co. My territory was Waterloo and a part of Berlin. This I kept until 1950 when I reâ€" tired after almost 30 years of One thing I never did was se insurance â€" I expiained to peo ple what insurance meant and would do for them, then if they felt they needed it and could afâ€" ford it, they bought it.

During the five years I was at the post office, Sunday was the only day I had to myself and family. Sunday was rather a dead day, a big change has come since. 1 also might say my sab ary for a whole month was about what some now get for three These long hours did not seem to kil me as I am still here and FRED SHINN by
