PAGE 2, TH URSDAY, JULY 12, 1973, WHITB Y FFIEE PRIESS Reccntly whilc reading another newspaper 1 came across an editorial comment whicb conccrned their stopping delivcry to a reader wbo had abused one of their paper boys. They went on to say thet thcy would sift out any more obnoxious (not their words) readers as weil as any newspaperboys if ncccssary. At the time 1 thought that this attitude was just a littie too 'hard - nosed,' but aftcr cxperiencing a similar situation 1 find that 1 arn now in complete agreement. One of out oldest and bcst paper carriers was in the proccss of performing bis duties last wcek delivering to a bouse on bis route, which ironically has been gctting fre delivery for quite somne time now, when the owner of this particular bouse apparently not only heapcd abuse on this youngstcr, not only wet him with water frorn a bose he was watering the lawn with, but actualiy aftcr aIl this had the nerve to 'phone in a complaint to the Police! When 1 was informed of this complaint 1 callcd the 'gentlemen' in question to query the problem, hoping that if there was some misuindcrstanding or fault on our part 1 could offer my apologies and try ta correct any wrong doing. Weillim sorry to say that 1- didn't fare any better than our paper boy. lnstead of telling me the problern (if any), this gentleman was just as obnoxious (my word) and ignorant with me as lie was witb the paper boy, even going so far as to threatcn 'il sec you in court." But for WHAT lic would sec me in court for lie didn't say. We are not above criticism, in fact NOBODY is, tbat's why we have a 'Readers Write' column - to let our readers air their views. But we are above having to let our youngsters take abuse from people like this who are afraid or incapable of expressing themselvcs in writing and lctting OTHER readers (and us) know what is bothcring them so much that they have to resort to such immature actioips. Hence, we too have 'cut-off' a reader. THE WHITBY FREE PRESS IVOICE 0F THE COUNTY TOWN) Homnetown paper of Whitby,ý Brooklun, Myrtle aald Ashburn; s.rving AJaM end Pickoring.
