Next Deadline Aug. 28 Next Issue sept. 2 Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: Up until a few years ago, we lived on a relatively clean, quiet dirt road. We could drive the tractor and car down the road without getting flat tires every other day. This has changed considerably since the Township Dump was located at the south end of our farm. A lot of supposedly responsible people seem to think that the dump starts as soon as they leave the pavement. On a good (read bad) day, one can find underwear, shoes, boots, boards, preferably with nails, household garbage etc. We can understand that sometimes garbage will fall off, but these people are too stupid to recognize their own dirt when they see it on their way back home; either that, or too miserable to pick it up. The limit was reached a few weeks ago, when a dog, obviously run over by a car, was neatly packaged in a cardboard box, and placed in the long grass by the side of the road. What an indication of the intelligence of that particular pet-lover! We have approached council on various occasions to try and have this matter solved and have the by-law enforced. As it is now, the only time the by-law enforcement _ officer comes is after someone gets up enough nerve to stick his hand into a garbage bag and identify the culprit. As far as we know no one has ever been fined, although a few people have had to come and pick up thier junk. The next bag of garbage we can identify, we will return the lost object to its rightful owner without expecting a reward. Peter and Nancy Romme It could only happen on a Russell Road 4 Mrs. Gladys Sweeney (Right), Mother of Mrs. Shirley Aldridge visiting Russell from Naugatuck, Conn., was shocked to discover the left front wheel of her daughter's car had disappeared into the road at the intersection of 1st Ave. and 2nd St.! George Eastman (Left) and other passersby were successful in lifting the front of the car out of the ever-increasing hole. Steve Schroeter indicates the extent of the hole, which road crews were prompt to repair. -- Photo by M. Rowsell.
