Building MaIling Permit No. 2941 North, P oneu 668-6111 : Toronto Lin e 282 1004 Whitby needs a large hotel to save, embarrassmefltI We greet with enthusiasmn the news 'that a Toronto group is coisidering building a six-storey i 20-room ho tel at Thickson Road South on the site of which a Howard Johnson's hotel wvas once planned. The plan for the Howard Johnson's hotel was abandoned during construction two years ago when the developer ran ot of money. A hotél would save the embarassînent which Whitby residents have been subjected 10 for some time - the embarass- ment of explaining to visitors "No, an arehaeologist did not unicover the lost eity of Atiantis ini Whitby" and the embarassrnent of tellinig a large group of conventioners "Sorry, but you'Il have to go to Oshawa if you wanit everyonie to stay unider the-sam-e roof". We hope that the developers of this mLîcl needed project have the proper finanicial backing to coin'plete it and, thus, save the town fromn further embarassmerit. Athietes have a tough time without idiots interfering An unfortunate incident dur ing an amateur lacrosse game in Whitby Sunday night once aga,ýin raises the question of how involved spectators should get in sporting events. Following the second period Support Scr.o uts We support the Boy Scouts in their ambitious plans for Prinigle Creek and Camp X.

Compared 10 Toronto or even Oshawa we are neglected people.
