-LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
 Dear Editor,
-In reply to Joan Rigby's article "Walkers' Gear'', I welcome the opportunity to make a few comments.
+In reply to Joan Rigby's article "Walkers' Gear", I welcome the opportunity to make a few comments.
 I also, like Joan, feel upset about the demise of the Japara tent and a good waterproof rucksack. We continued making these products well after any reasonable business person would have ceased production. This is mainly due to the continued involvement of active walkers in the company.
-It would be impossible for a shop like "Paddy's" to exist on selling to walkers alone.
-We sell to travellers, climbers, hostellers and therefore must have a range of expertise in our shops. We do not pretend that every assistant in "Paddy's" is a tiger walker, but we can say
+It would be impossible for a shop like "Paddy's" to exist on selling to walkers alone. We sell to travellers, climbers, hostellers and therefore must have a range of expertise in our shops. We do not pretend that every assistant in "Paddy's" is a tiger walker, but we can say that all people in design and key management positions are active walkers including Barry Higgins, Distribution Manager, Ian Gibson, Managing Director and myself.
-that all people in design and key management positions are active walkers including Barry Higgins, Distribution Manager, Ian Gibson, Managing Director and myself.
 As head of the company that used "Designed for Australian conditions by Australian Walkers", I have tried to keep that ethic alive and well, and considering the conditions of the last few years I believe we have succeeded as well as we could.
-There are two main points that need to be made. The first is that no matter how much Joan and I like the Japara tent, unless a reasonable number of people buy them then we cannot afford to produce them. This is aggravated by Us being one of the few countries which continued to make cotton tents well after the nylon "miracle cloth" revolution, which causes a lack of cloth manufacturers willing to produce for such a small market.
-The second point is the apparent aim of the customs department ta tali to put us out of - business. We have to constantly fight to be able to buy cloth, which is not available from local suppliers, without having to pay prohibitive duties, quite often higher than the duty on importing the finished product. At one stage, to prove a point to the government, we were importing sleeping bag shells ready to be filled, cheaper than we could import the raw cloth. This anomoly still applies to cloth suitable for tents.

-forward for our market, and it does work. If anyone has a jacket they claim doesn't work they should speak to the Goretex agents or the store where they bought it.

 THE ART EXHIBITION.Report by Ainslie Morris.
 What a delightful showing of our artistic members' works of art we saw on Wednesday, 29th April! The underlying theme emerged more as the works were hung than as an intention of the organisers.
