Hello dear friends!

I would like to let you know about one bad thing that is going on in
Cashubia today. A few years ago at the borders of counties in Cashubia
region there were set some road-signs telling the name of the county in
Polish and Cashubian language and with the sign of the county. They were
in PUCK county and later in WEJROWO (Polish: Wejherowo) county. Last
year the first road sign at the border of Puck county was destroyed: the
Cashubian text was overpainted with red paint. The actors are not known.
Some time ago the next road sings were destroyed. This year in the
beginning of July all the road signs like them, also in Wejrowo county
were destroyed. The actors are not known.

PS: Another Cashubian county (of Kartuze) made an act that all
inscriptions on selfgovernmental institutions (also hospital and so on)
will be bilingual. And they started to realise it.
