DIAMOND WEDDING anniversary was celebrated Sunday at Map lev lew by former Toronto residents Mr and Mrs George Court Three members of their wedding party of years ago were able to come to mark the unique oc with them Staff Photo Claims perfumers dont help Dear Sir Tuesday edition of the Toronto Dally Star carried a picture and story featuring the Tannery odor As one of the noisiest wheels I was the recipient of one of the perfumers and I here to tell you that they don t help damn bit And when the smell seems unbearable to the residents a direct quote from the Star about three days a month according to Braida I laughed so hard I nearly choked to death under my gas mask It more like three days a month when the tannery smell It was also nice to know that by Christmas Acton distinctive odor will be no more Of course not We have weather then Spraying Is suspended the zero conditions certainly lessen the odors from the lagoons and we re all set until Spring rolls round again Here s one lady who won t mind giving back the perfume barrel As far as I m concerned it s Just a conversation piece I have enclosed a poem to that wonderful institution that unique problem I really do hope they find the unique answer toll Thank you Mrs Sheila 0 Rourke Acton ODE TO Now August is here with its excellent cheer Warm nights bright lights and sweet flowers But the beauty is spoiled and the fresh air is soiled And we been without sleep for 12 hours The tannery smell so potent it well Just imagine an acre of sewers It drifts In the house as still as a mouse But it lingers for hours and hours Except when he called to the pi one Then constant refrain We just pray for rain Poor man we should leave him alone There s on excellent boss by the name of Guy Ross And he mighty important as well If Just find the solution to this pollution 1 m sure we would all wish him well Then there big Chuck and Ed of whom It Is said Are experts on the core of perfumers And Harold we must thank and a fellow named Frank We just wish they had started them sooner Our problem of course just keeps getting worse And our temper is bod without doubt But whoever heard of a sweet sounding bird Who would sing with that odor about My friend K and I although not too spry Can still feel remarkably gay So we write if only for spite And let the chips fall where they may There a man who once said If you re quiet you re dead If you don say just what s on your mind You wake up one day and hear people say That dirt that piled over your head So we toss and we turn and our hearts ever yearn To smell the fresh air Just once more But it s useless I know until we get snow Thus all we can do is just mourn To leave we re too poor although I am sure There are some who don core a darn If we sleep well or not the smell never stops The aroma well rivals a bam So here s to the tannery Long may it stink The problem not easy to conquer I think The aroma is here for a long time I fear And my pen has now run out of ink Will not renounce her rights Dear Sir We are In the middle of a religious controversy here in Hope you are interested Like James a former Scottish or Stuart king of England I believe in freedom of worship for all people in all churches and I respect the form of worship of any religious body To be brief a young married woman Is between the devil and the deep sea with regard to religion Her father of British royal birth close in an unobtrusive but most capable gentleman who has befriended many a one brought his girl up Protestant as he was supposed to do Now since another generation has arrived on the scene there is an attempt to force her to change her religion She would thus have to renounce certain rights inherited from her Windsor father and Stuart mother To give the g rl credit she has the back bone of the Stuarts and the astuteness of the Windsors and refuses to rob herself and child of their rights Can you blame her Yours truly Mill cent Diamond anniversary
