The local politicians did their best to please the project's opponents, who, as each time the contro- versial issue arose, seemed to grow in numbers and spirit. Not, even the most boisterous critics of VNhitby Council can deny that. The only possible way of halting the develop- ment is by putting pressure on the provincial governiment. So, put the pressure on recently elected- MP Charles Godfrey if you are still dead against the apartments. Reader in love with Brookin Dear Liz: Brooklin Bylines I would like to make reference to a section of your article of several weeks ago in which you stated that Brooklin was becoming known as an unfriendîy town. I must take exception to that remark, as I have found that Brooklin is the friendliest town that I have ever been fortunate to live in. I wonder if perhaps the source of your information was a person who really does not know what a coîd and unfriendly area really is or whether it was sorneone who just had the unfortunate exper- ience of meeting a Brook- lImite who wasn't having a good day. My husband and I have had countîess ex- periences of friendîiness and genuine sincerity given to us since moving here last F ebruary and have found that living here is a ref resh ing change from the coîd and unfriendîy city living of Toronto. We have two infant children and at times when it has been im- possible for me to get out, each and every one Korean Dear Sir;- Please forgive me for taking up your valuble time.

They have ail made living in Brooklin a happy-and enjoyable ex- perience and I hope that those people that feel differently about Brook- lImites wilI take another look and perhaps see just how wrong they are. In closiflg, I enjoy your article each week and wish you continued success. Thank you for your attention. Yours very truly, Mrs. Susan Holoduke R-R.
