"A Family Tradition for 126 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 2, 1993 -7 Leltters to the editor Port Perry a warm, friendly town To the Editor: Having lived in the city all of my life and escaping to Port when I got married, I can say I 'would never live anywhere else. The town is night and day com- pared to city living. I find that the community spirit is alive and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. When we came to Port I even- tually started to teach aerobics and this is where I really felt the warmth of Port Perry. I met a group of women who have be- come very important to me, they have become my friends. They greeted me with warmth and never made me feel out of place. Even when I started to pick on them, or make them work harder when they said they were tired or when I laughed at them when they goofed up they always came back for more. If Iwasn't up to a class and wanted to cut it short and go to coffee they always complied, and they greeted my advise on proper shoes with um? well they almost all have proper shoes. They are just a great group of women who have supported and encouraged me in my decision to go back to school and get my OSSGD. So thank you from my heart Donna, Pat, Patti, Sue M. Sue, Karen, Gene, Cathy, Al- lynne and my ever so taithful sub Andy, and to all the girls at Delta Fitness.

Neither Audrey McLaughlin's NDP nor Manning's Reform party have enough adherents to win. Only Jean Chretien's Lib- erals can outnumber the Con- servatives. Therefore, vote Lib- eral! If you don't care for Chretien himself, don't worry. Just give him a chance. He can't do any worse. Respectfully yours, Warren T.
