Ed Braadbent criticizcd re- cent Oshiawa-Whitby in- tegration of services de- fend ing the Town of Whiitby as a distinct city and deploring the basis of centralization of re- cent services as an illus- tration of the old, mis- taken 'bigger is better theory'. "Thie placing of these facilities just do hiappen ta miake a dif- ference to a smiall town," lie said. Speakîng ta members of the Oshawa-Whitby mneia, lie drew out a inap at his Oshawva Ihad- qLlarters, explaining by sketch that it is just as convenient for somieone to go to Oshawa froin Witby for services as it is vice versa. "A cen- tralization of services in Oshawa is tinot neces- sarily the most econami- cal, and if Whitby is ta retain its own sense of comninity identity the next integration iove niList take place witini Whitby bouindaries," hie said. As examples of ab- solute OsKawa initegra,,- tian of facilities lie cited tlie post office, CPR, Ottawa CNR and Bell (?anada, wliicli lhas recentiy pliased out its Whiitby paying agents. M r. Broadbent is currently pursuing the Bell inove with aI group of Wliitby citizens whio have ap- pealed thçe comnpaniy's proposai.
