Editorial Comment Sending a message Anyone who doubted the sincerity of Canadians when it comes to their passion for a united country now has conclusive proof. Witness the enormous rally in Montreal this past Friday, when some 150,000 people from across the nation descended upon Montreal to deliver a clear message to Quebecers: Don't Go. Local students and others were among the pilgrims, and to a person came away with a feeling of pride, and a profound sense of their country, and what it means to them. At the top of the letters page opposite is one testimonial, written by Roy Anger of Blackstock. "The pure emotional energy of the rally was enormous," he observes. "...In the minds of anyone who saw the rally, there could be no doubt that it was in complete support of a united Canada." There have been other efforts locally, like the petition signed and sent to Quebec by students at Port Perry High School. Others have sent impassioned letters to the editors of this and other papers, all in the hopes that by & adding their voice to the throng, the noise would eventually be enough to convince a province on the brink of separation that there is still hope for this embattled country. a As you read this, you know the result of the vote, and the effect the effort of people here and across the country may have had. Whichever way the vote turned out, it was forecast to be close, and therefore leaves a pall over the country no matter what. But take heart, especially those of you who grew tired of taking the politicians' advice to just shut up and let them run the show. You have played an important role in your country's history, and are true Canadians.

There are some who have voiced concerns relating to our proposal, and it is for this reason that I address the issues. Paula and I have a vision to create an envi- ronmentally sound development that will be the an asset to the community and to Canada. We hope to set an example that will be emulated in varied ways in small communities across The Sunday School room of the Baptist Church on Queen and Rosa Streets in Port Perry was the temporary Home Economics Room for Port Perry High School students after the school burned in 1926. THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF CANADIANS GATHERED TODAY IN MONTREAL TO SHOW CARE... Lishman development is explained Canada, as we think the way of the future is to develop systems that answer ecological, eco- nomic and aesthetic concerns. I can understand the fears of the neighbors, given the type of development happening in other places using "smokestack" technology. When we drive around the country and see con- ventional industrial areas, we understand why mere mention of any form of industry in our neighborhood strikes fear in our hearts. We have no desire to create a traditional SEES A RS SR Pr A RA ERR NEARS Boiler Stock and supply hatcheries across Canada. 20 YEARS AGO Wednesday, October 29, 1975 Scugog Township dog owner John Greenwood approached council asking for them to drop the dog tag fee for his pet.
