Especially people whom I feel are well educated and who know the full meaning of the word retardation. As for lowering the value of their property, that sounds like a very feeble excuse. I have been in contact with a retarded boy from birth up to 17 and have yet to hear anyone say he has done any- thing wrong. He attends school regularly and is learn- ing to read and write. He is well liked, well mannered. Mrs. Evelyn Keeler Port Perry Where is snow plow? Dear Sir I would like to thank the man with the Chev pick up truck, who did his best to plow the road in front of our house and the other three houses just south of Major St., on Union Ave. I think his Licence no. is E41-799.1 think plow the road so it is possible for cars to drive on, when it is up to the Township to do it. They seem to think it is only: necessary to come down as far as Major St. and then stop. Thanks again to the man with his truck and plow. it is a terrible thing when a Yours truly, residence of this town has to Mrs. A E. Wilkinson Port Perry (From page 5) people start to get emotional, they no longer see clearly. Such is the case here. Neighbours in the area fear their presence will not make it safe for children and retired people living in the area. Their other concern is that because of the group home in their vicinity that property values could depreciate, although this argument has been challenged. Regardless of property values, it is time that we as citizens stop passing the buck. We all know that this type of project is needed and most are fully in favour of them - as long as they are not in our own back yard. This selfish attitude has to stop. The mentally retarded have as much right to live with dignity as you or I, and it is time that we all take a good look at ourselves. ** If the shoe was on the other foot, how would you feel? diinnanummnauininnanmunnannunuanuannnamnm Mini Cinema oss.ss3s nnmoniE MARCH 21 & 22 Friday 7 P.M.
