I am not at all sure - what was the final plan but I understand it has failed to accomplish its goal. As an ex-business man from the main street, may I pass on some of my observ- ations. First, now that the stop lights are going to be installed at Lilla and Queen Sts., consider making all traffic east of this intersect- ion as One Way - east only. Allow parallel parking only all the way to the lake at Water St.; eliminate all U- turns, vehicles turning either right or left. will be travelling north, this should expedite movement of vehicular traffic.

I was sickened and appall- ed by what I read in reports from the government and societies trying to find better trapping methods. " The pain experienced by these animals was almost too much for me to believe. I was never aware of the facts or that people trapped here in Port Perry. Did you know the trapped animal takes days to die and that it usually dies of expo- sure or infection? If it is lucky it is killed by one of its preditors. It is not uncom- mon for an animal to chews its trapped limb off in an effort for freedom. told the pain was similar to having your fingers slam- med in a car door and being left there. Too many animals are being murdered this way each day just so someone can make a dollar. ; If we are not responsible for what happens in our own area, what are we respons- ible for? Doesn't anyone care? Kathy Smith, Grade 12 Student Port Perry High School Absolutely ridiculous! Dear Sir: The intention of putting a modern new building on the main street of Port Perry, seems to me, to be absol- utely ridiculous. What was the idea of sav- ing the Post Office, and the restoration of the Town Hall? Was it not to pre- serve the unique character of this town? Look at the "Old Cream- ery" for example, which stood as a "White Eleph- ant" for .at least a decade and a half of non-use. Letter to the Editor: I should like to reply to the Star's editorial of May 3rd titled Our Food Supply. The claims by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture are indeed alarming that more than $340 million worth of food is being imported into Ontario "that could be pro- duced in the province". Imports caused a loss of 6,000 farm jobs and a further 7,000 in the food processing A developer bought the building, and through over- hauling and renovations now has an up-to-date and fashionable apartment and office complex. Can the Canadian Imperial Bank of Com- merce officials not use this as a model of what can be done for the Sebert House? For Port Perry's sake, let's hope they do! A Concerned Citizen (Name withheld at the writer's request). Claims are alarming industry at a time when jobs are so badly needed for the economy - not to mention the end cost of the $340 million spent outside the country, on our deflated dollar. Ontario was almost self- sufficient in food in 1962 - and unless we turn the tide, Ontario will produce only 74 percent of wheat, 57 percent of the beef and only 46 per cent of fruit and vegetables.
