Em x oh mn Ne A ~ \ } hal! A a : 6 -- PORT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Father of 5 deplores mundane attitude I am certain that parents from every direction and station in life have at one time or another seriously encouraged their children to read, as "reading is learn- ing" "reading is mind build- ing and stimulating." It is also, I would suggest, safe to say that the most, or one of the most beneficial sources of educational reading mat- erial available to a child or student of the written word is ours or their newspaper. Particularly in the case of our local papers -- Uxbridge Times and Port Perry Star, as they are well managed, PV WTO VVVOONN H. & R. BLOCK INCOME TAX GREENBANK 985-2416 ed T= PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Feb. 21st, 1973 well edited and a real agset to the communities they serve. In reading an article written in the February 7 issue of the Port Perry Star, I came across an article or piece of literature that a parent and a canadian, I found more appalling than any poinagraphy and than any communistic literature that I have thus far read. I am referring to the article concerning the pro- posed building of apartments on the Gibson property between Rosa and Bigelow Streets. According to this article, one critic cited her disagree- ment to the building of these apartments, because of the class of people they may attract suggesting high rents so that only the so called high class rich may surround her. Another resident objected to three or four bedrooms, as this would naturally attract people with (please forgive me using such a distasteful word) children. ) But Hallelujah! the con- tractor assured these won- derful christian, canadian people that, and I quote -- as long as his firm handles the rentals, families with more than one child each would not be allowed to move in WES LANE PLUMBING - HEATING - - ELECTRIC - and wreck the neighbour- hood). * Ta me, this does not seem to be. coming. from the mouths of free, democratic, persons. I sincerely trust and am sure that this censorship of lower" income people, and children does not represent but a minority of our local brothers? If it does, we are a sorry lot! My belief is that if children wreck, it is because they were not taught to respect! And how can a child learn respect or anything for that matter if we. are raising them in a system where good houses are for the rich or at least well to 'do, and in a society where monied de- velopers cater to the chosen few. I could write paragraphs more on how sick I felt these people made me, because of their views their apparent arrogrance, their apparent mistrust of a child, but I feel I have said what needed to be said, and to thank God that God Blessed me with five children, a job at Uxbridge IGA and a village like Greenbank to live in where people accept everyone for what they are, not what the Caste system dictates.
