PAGE 2, TIIURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1972, WHITBY FREE PRESS REST The Catholic Cemetery Association, it would seem, is ini big business. Not for them the littie things like consoling a widow whose husband's grave has been exposed in the process of digging another. So if a grave collapses when another is being dug close by as happened in Whitby Saturday rnorning, and an unhiappy widow arrives 'ôn the scene to find it that way... well, those are the breaks aren't they. It is interesting to note that because the Catholie Cemetery Association doesn't have to eall people in the event of collapsed graves, it won't and what's rnore-didn'It. Afterall they're a very busy operation! Mrs. John Moînar therefore was subjected to a second shock in the brief 1rnonth period since the sudden death of her husband in April. The callousness of big business in our sorne- what plastic North Ainerican way of life today can UN PEACE? be expected. When it is flagrantly displayed by a body sucfl as the Catholic Cernetery Association, it leaves a decidedly distasteful ring. Does the Catholic Churchi condone this sort of treatment to one of its fold? One can hardly blarne the entire body on one or two (no matter lîow highly placed) poor arn- bassadors who choose to place business above feeling or sentiment. But one car hiardly blamne Mrs. Moînar her grief or lier friend Mrs. Serke the dernoralizing feeling there isjust no resting in peace. Mrs. Serke, a Catholie, is so soLlred by tlhe in- cident she says crernation appears more attractive to lier tlîan interment. Ironically enoughi, a cathiolic, says the liead of the Cathioliec Cmetery Associationî, can be cre- rnated. If that is, lie lias permission from the arclîbislîop!

The Study Group is comn- genuinly concerned ose of ocnainsd "feasible" solutions to the municipal office re- quirements to which councillors have been in- différent. At present, the group has a two-stage de- veiopment programn which i s a logicai, welI- founided solution to the problemns facing the town and wlîiciî will not ensue the trernendous capital expenditure tlhc present cou neil wislîcs to inflict on us by way of the devious steppîng stoncs they arc laying. It is painstakingly ob- vious tlîat our council- meni and mayor (with few exceptions) feel highly qualified to sit their pedestals as they did last week and ignore the concern and disap- proval of the people of this town! It is unfor- tunate there is no safety valve that can be applied on council at a time of unwarranted expendi- turc of money such as we will be confronted with in the ail too near future. "Hoodwinked?" Defi- nîtely. We are also being &"walked over" by thosc very men "we" e lected to council. Fali is alrnost here. Let's sec our new councilmnen and mnayor arc responsible citizenis; not anxious to sperîd our money to satisfy thieir own ambitions but ra- tlier to meet tie hum- bie needs of our town. Pat Aslîley, 207 Bowman Ave., Whitby, Ontario. P.S. To The Editor: -Kindiy excuse this informai paper as 1 am saving my money to pay the town taxes in the future if we don't stop our present council's de- vious plans. Dear Editor, 1 oppose the letter wlîich appeared in your paper [rom Mr. Gerry Emnu of Ashburn. Mr. Emim quite correctiy points out because of of recent legislature cf- fccting the mîarketing of eggs, the farnuer iin terms of tlîis conmîodity is now gettiing lus share. On tlîis point t1iere- fore, the genceral casc i was arguing about tlîe inadequate slîare of tlhe food dollar received by the farmer stands cor- rected. However, Mr. Emn wiil agrec tlîat as 1I sug- gested for tlîc vast ria- jority of f'ood itemus it is the mîajor food chains and not thie farincr wlîo reap the great profits.
