ETTERS eT mr A Et SERA in eB Library needs support of township To the Editor: I would like to add my voice to the growing discontent that is developing over the issue of the township providing extra fund- ing for the Scugog Memorial Public Library. My family moved to this area two years ago and, since that time, we have all had a lot of en- Racism on the increase To the Editor: I was surprised to hear that the increase of racism went up over 30 per cent from last year. I looked up the meaning of "ra- cism" in the dictionary. It said "racism is the belief that a par- ticular race is inherently super- ior to another." Neo Nazis, anti Semitists are racists. Some are quick to call others "racist" and label them as such when they do not understand the meaning of the word racist. It then becomes an easy word to say to someone under those assumptions. A few weeks ago a New Liber- al M.P. called a New Reform M.P. a racist when that M.P. was speaking about a certain problem. I am against immigra- tion minister Sergio Marchi's decision to allow 270,000 new people into Canada this year. I would like to bring it down to only 50,000 with a better screening process. Let us slow down for a while. I have been called a racist for having those views. The welfare system is being abused by certain individuals and groups. Ontario Liberal party leader Lyn McCleod brought this up last fall. She was called a racist, and asked to apologize for those remarks. Do we not have the freedom of speech or the press in Canada? Racism is used as an excuse Doctors trying to embarrass NDP. Bob Rae From Page 6 Now the doctors have decided to close the medical clinic dur- ing the March Break and blam- ing the Rae Government for their actions. The social con- tract governs all services whose employees are paid from the public purse. No other sector of that group has shut down their area of service in order to com- ply with the terms of the con- tract. The civil service, the teachers, all other sectors have managed to rotate theiremploy- ees in order to comply with Rae days and keep their service available to the public. This is another example of how the medical profession will sacrifice the health and convenience of their patients in order to emba- rass the Bob Rae Democratic Government. Yours truly, Roy Grierson for discrimination as we see in the M.P. Jag Bhaduria uphea- val in the Markham- Whitchurch-Stouftville riding. Some use it to vent their person- al frustration against someone or a certain party. If someone throws the word racist at you, for expressing your views, ask them as I have, do you really un- derstand what you are saying to me? Let us never lose that demo- cratic right of expression with- out conveniently being called a racist. May we become a bit more understanding and toler- ant toward each other. Herman Van Der Veen, Oshawa, Ont. joyment from the library. The staff are always friendly and they will go out of their way to provide advice and assistance if required. Considering the mea- gre per capita allocation that the library gets, the staff have stretched their resources as best they can whilst continuing to provide a wide variety of ser- vices...this cannot be allowed to goon indefinitely. There is a real need for the li- brary to continue to be well equipped in order to serve the needs of the community (this is especially true for students do- ing research work) and the de- mand for these services increas- es in these days of fiscal restraint! The library is not just a video department as some misin- formed people seem to think - although a video facility 1s a great benefit even though it is partially funded through public donations not tax levies.
