One item that most folks forget when living in the country on septic systems, is what you are putting into it. The main thing that should be avoided is antibacterial soap or bleach. Thing is folks, a septic is made up of bacteria that eats things down in there and keeps things moving. So……..only common sense not to put things into your septic that kills bacteria. My wife and I use good old regular soap of years past. Works great. We never use antibacterial soap for anything, as all that does is promote stronger bacteria, which causes all kinds of problems with our health. Through my eyes it should have never been made and brought onto the market for public use. My Opinion Only
I never miss your column in the North Bay Nugget or Community Voice. I Love it. Reminds me of my Grandfather A gentle hard-working orderly person who never wasted a thing in his life and could make me a whistle or a toy or a very useful item out of something he knew the exact where-abouts-of. He went overseas during World War I, and the only stories I remember him telling were in relation to the kindly and appreciative people he met and the countryside. He raised a wonderful family of 5 after his wife died in child-birth. Mom was the oldest and had to quit school at the age of 13 to stay home with her siblings. You are so right. It WAS a hard life, but those people will never be forgotten. Thanks for keeping their memories alive. Elva
Good-morning George.
Just wanted to say I enjoy reading your columns in the Nugget and Community Voice, they are lucky to have you.
I look forward to seeing what you are going to choose for a topic each week. Oh, Your Books are awesome, looking forward to your new one in the spring.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your stories. It is the first thing I look for in the Community Voices. I am sure I missed your first ones because I don t know who Laura is. My guess is that you were taken in as a child by her and husband. It sounds like it was the kinda of childhood that I always wanted. Your stories are so down to earth and I use a lot of your tips for the garden etc. Keep it up and the next time I see you in the IGA in Sundridge I am going to speak to you and maybe get your autograph. That way I will have it before your autobiography comes out. Be well Pamela
Dear Mr Walters,
I am overwhelmed by your wonderful response. I feel that you wrote a whole story just for us. Thank You, Thank You. We are so looking forward to meet you in the spring. Your stories are always interesting, so please do not stop writing . I am sure that even if you did not write in the paper, you would still write on all the interesting subjects you cover.
We do not get the North Bay Nugget, but are considering it now.
Just a note to your staff editors. I look forward to the Saturday morning paper as I am a follower of George Walters. When it was on Wednesday I would still read him first. I am from the farm life, before I joined the Service, Now retired here in North Bay, I can relate to his stories. I head for that section first then I read the rest. So pass this on to George please top keep up the stories.
Thank you Nugget Editors
