Postmaster General Faces Postal Rate Increases

Letter to the Editor on Permissive Society at Hockey Game
A Foxwarren reader condemns profanity in the arena after a Falcons versus Deloraine Royals game. Two front row spectators, including women, shouted obscene language throughout the match, upsetting families and provoking calls for curbing disruptive fans to preserve sportsmanship and community values. The writer argues such conduct reflects a permissive society and urges action to protect youth from swearing and rowdy behavior at sports events.
