Special guests at the John Elliott Theatre last Wednesday were the Polka Dot Door television program for children The most entertaining character from the show was the animal Polka roo who brought cheers from the youngsters The travelling troupe was here courtesy of the Recreation Department and the Ministry of and Culture photo Letter to the editor Handicapped plates require our trust Dear Sir I have been following inter the various articles and letters for and against the designated handicap ped license plate As your columnist Mrs Woodc recently stated in her column each system has advantages disadvantages We had our license plate for nearly a year and since they ore designated plates they are accepted anywhere in Ontario many other provinces and in the United States We have parked in many Kilties in Ontario and have NEVER a problem Certainly anyone who object to applying to each municipality they wish to park In submitting a doctor a certificate and Is welcome to use the permit However could I point out that the permit is not small and must bo prominently displayed if you are worried about being this will hardly make you in visable Have you ever seen a personalized plate SEXY 1 or GEORGE I have seen them on Chevrolets and and it never occurred to me that what was on the plate intimated Just is if saw a wheelchair symbol on the license I would not assume the car was ed although I do wonder seriously about our car it seems to need its so perhaps it is disabled I also know of the case In Georgetown in which a person in a car with special plates was harassed apparently for that reason I also spoke to that person and the Incident was not reported to the police The offending car make and license plate number were not noted A car full of Letter to the editor teenagers followed this person who simply drove home with the car following Surely you read all the reports of vandalism on cars which don carry the special plates in your paper most weeks It seems to me following the law of averages sooner or later a car with special plates may be followed as in this case or vandalized The Regional Police arc in our community to help us if they know nothing of the incident how can they be expected to help I realize how terrifying Incidents of this nature are but as citizens we must help police lo help us will never help anyone Certainly designated plates do arouse a little interest they have only been issued for about a year and as you know will draw attention We are a one car family when I am not in the car it is parked in ordinary parking Some of my son friends who do not know me have asked him why we have designated plates they have always his explanation with out comment If that is trouble It is the closest we have come There Is still controversy surrounding the license plate and I feel you should certainly preference but In the spirit thislssue must be presented Citizens have no reason to be afraid of using the designated plate anymore than a normal person should be afraid of using a special plate We teach our children that the policeman is their friend perhaps if you rely a little more on your friends you can live happily Sincerely Peewee tournament shows organization Dear Sir Anyone who runs a community event can appreciate that Ihere are three distinct segments to planning a successful project The first involves proper and detailed planning the second relates to the actual running of the event while the third deals with postevent wrap up and paperwork It Is the latter item that quite often gets forgotten and
