Letters to the Editor Herald reader is amazed at Armstrongs transit stand To the editor of The Herald I was amazed two weeks ago read that Mr Armstrong suggested the concept of public transit be buried Living Georgetown with out transportation is a real problem Senior people have to pay expensive cab fares In order keep doctor appoint Shoppers are limited to their immediate area dents who slay Tor sports must walk long distances several limes within Georgetown arc out of lucW if I no cobs lies can no longer afford and Local blast councillors decision BANDS COMBINE Cheryl Springle left

for his stand In op position to the proposed Croatian Centre outside We have published a sampling of the many letters criticising the councillor for his stand It me greatly to hear i the Jctlon which overturned the Centre ItM is to Michael Herald editor Postelection trauma For some people the wrapup of Canada federal election campaign last Tuesday night was a Utile traumatic and I not talking about the results It a Just that with an election campaign that ran eight weeks and In fact had been discussed and rumoured for over a year people develop certain habits and routines It II take a little while yet for local residents to relax when they hear the doorbell ring or a knock at the door After the years it has taken many to get used to Avon ladies Fuller Brush the rest the door to door invasion of candidates and their supporters was little annoying and for some DOORBELL CREATURE How come campaigners always showed up at the door Just you crawled Into the tub or while you were In the middle of watching The Creature That Rang Door bells It 11 take a little while for Hills residents to get away from the campaign cringe when someone arrives at their door Real estate agents have to be happy the election over I sure their sales had lo suffer with people seeing their signs and thinking Johnson Carney wanted to be re elected and good ole was taking his first run at federal office Now they again have their lawn sign monopoly And its business as usual for budding young en who have had to contend with lawn signs as they trimmed neighbor lawns to help earn money for new bikes etc We know of at least one local grass cutter whose family lawn mower was the worse for wear after a battle with a campaign sign Now the kids can get back to cutting a nice straight swath down the middle of the lawns without having to paydoodle around the signs SAFER DRIVING Driving will be safer now that the election over No longer will you have to worry as you head up Guelph Street when the driver In front cranes his neck lo check out the latest bit of cardboard campaign propaganda MPclect John McDcrmld says he wants to reform aspects of Canada election laws maybe he can make one of his first items of business a limit on the number of words In campaign signs It possible for even a slow reading VoteMe In only a glance ger to himself or other drivers But when he tries to wade through Vote Me to solve the problems of the world make the rich pay and give the future a he already smashed Into the car ahead 0 course therearesomepeoplewho llbe sorry tosee thelastoflheclectlon after alt It was a great thing if you re a little lonely It only during election time that everyone likes you Liberals Conservatives and the rest beat a steady path to the door dying for a little conversation An active social life Is there for the taking at election time as in for coffee parties barbecues dancing and the like as long as the campaign politicking down t give you in digestion And canvassers both at the door and on the phone ensure you 11 always have someone to talk with during election time And if you don t have many out of town friends but like letters the rip to the mailbox Is always pleasant during a campaign period Brochures and newsletters from the candidates vie with free dance lessons subscription offers and other To the householder correspondence Tor space in the mailbox Things will be dull now that the election moil has dried up With all these postelection changes Its almost enough to make you want to move to Newfoundland and get In on their campaign race almost Miller unable to attend urges support for ICG The following letter tins been sent to Hills Council and The Herald tor public a Hon Mayor and Members of Council 1 regret will not be present Monday evening when the discussion with the ICG over the Hydro Corridor will take place and I seriously hope this Council will seriously consider the great imposition how such a venture by Hydro will

happen to live in This If of great concern to the representatives of Ward and should be for everyone This only goes to further the spill between Ihe three former municipalities and causes doubt in the minds of our people In the past month I hive softened my position on the Acton Town Hall even though 1 believed the site should be only developed for Fire Protection and supported to this cause because 1 believe in the rights of the people Croatian owner upset To Miller As a land owner and a very respectable businessman I am very concerned about a vole In which you opposed in regards to the
