Suzanne is correct, when she says..."congregate, because Thanks Star for excellent coverage To the Editor: I want to thank you and the Port Perry Star for your cover- age of the recent federal elec- tion. As the New Democratic Party Candidate and a former local newspaper journalist, I found your newspaper's reporting to be fair, balanced and informa- tive. The fact that you also tried to bring a local angle to some of the national issues was also re- freshing. As with any national election, a few issues tend to dominate the campaign. The weekly col- umn that you generously gave to the candidates provided an opportunity to expand on some of these issues and to present my party's alternatives. This also presented an opportunity to discuss other important is- sues, like the environment, that were rarely discussed in this campaign. I sincerely thank you for this opportunity. With warm regards, Lucy Rybka-Becker New Democratic Party Candidate, Durham Riding Mailbox From Page 6 have stop payments placed on them as we were not aware of their location until this morn- ing. Since we live, directly across from that mailbox and there are no other houses close, that might confuse you as to where to go with the mail, it would have been nice if you had returned them to us and saved a lot of aggravation on everyone's part. We were definitely home the next day, replacing the post for our mailbox. We even hoped that you might come in with the letters in question, (which we had searched for with flash- lights that night and again on Thursday morning), an apology and an offer to help with or pay for any damages. At which time we could have thanked you for being responsible enough to re- turn to face the music and give us the letters in person, let you know there was no damage that we could not fix on our own, and convey how thankful we were that you weren't hurt. Alas YOUR ACCIDENT has cost us money! The money is not the issue, it's the principle of the thing. If you agree, kindly take a cheque or cash in the amount of $30 (cost to cancel cheques) to Community Memo- rial Hospital for its building fund, in your name or ours and send us a copy of the receipt.

William "Sam" Magee, Coordinator, 905-576-1198 Friendship continues To the Editor: A short followup on Mr. Kel- ly's letter relating to Canadian Involvement in World War II. Typical of the warm friend- ship between the people of the Netherlands and Canadians, was a phone call received early in November by George Wolfe, Port Perry, from friends Cor and Jake Boon, Apeldoorn. Their message was open of con- tinued remembrance of the sac- rifice made by Canadians dur- ing the liberation of Holland. They wished, in particular, to recognize the bravery displayed in the vicious battle of the Sloe- dam, Walcheren Island, on No- vember 1, 1944. It was in this battle, that George, a member of the Calgary Highlanders, was decorated for gallantry. He was invited to attend the unveiling of a monument, on Oct. 31, 1987, to commemorate the extraordinary exploit of the Fifth Canadian Infantry Bri- gade at the Sloedam. Cor and Jake advised him that they were driving next day to lay a wreath at that monument. The Boons, in addition, send greetings to many Canadian friends.
