'Open Letter... To Whitby Readers The interest shown by Whitby readers in The Times, is much appreciated. As is indicated daily on the front page, the aim here is that The Times will play an increasingly important role in your community as your Hometown newspaper. In recent weeks efforts have been intensified to expand coverage of Whitby activities. Council and other significant civic meetings are being reported in much 'greater detail. On our assessment and actual count we have found a greater number of Whitby stories have been published than there was in any similar period previously. In the new year our plans are to expand further both news and pictorial coverage of activities in this rapidly growing Ontario centre. The great development and potential for progress of Whitby are recognized by all of us at The Times. We feel it's certainly unfair, if not impossible, to present the news from Whitby on a portion of one page. This is the reason we have been publishing stories from Whitby throughout the newspaper. We feel as the"city expands and our coverage keeps pace, it would be a disservice to Whitby readers to say you can just have one page in the newspaper whatever you do. Thus in a short time, news -telling of Whitby progress (and promoting it) will be appearing on many pages of The Times and no longer limited to a section of one page. To those of you who have questioned the removal of the Whitby headline from one page of The Times, our reply FARM CALENDAR Monday, Jan, 4, 8 p.m., Ux- bridge, Dept. of Agriculture Board Room, Directors' Meet- ing, Ontario County Hog Pro- ducers' Association.
