Page 2, Thursday, November 4th, 1971, WHITBY FREE PRESS 1 Sir, As acitizen and taxpayer of Whitby, and a frequent aux- iliary visitor to the sick, and to our much needed general hospital (the Doctor Joseph O. Ruddy, Whitby), I am con- cerned at the deter- ioration of this building over the past few weeks, both in maintenance and part icularly cleanliness. My attention is dr awn to the fact that m any patient rooms are devoid of w i n dow drapes, which in my opinion is disgusting, when one real izes the money involved in patient care. I have n o t i c ed many pat- ient washrooms ex- tremely dirty, and jus t thisweek on using a public wash- room on the first floor, I was amazed at the condition and odour of same. The question I ask is this - Does not th is h ospital have an y form of super- vi s i on to c o n t rol these areas of the hospital ? Thank you, I am disgusted and a fan ofDr. JosephO. Ruddy. 4.....*................. 1 feel the same way every day 1 drive home from Toronto.

Aclassiccase of the skeletons to be found in council's broom closet are the committees formed in the aftermath of a municipal election - not so much in the committees themselves, but in the reas- oning behind their formation. Onesuch committee was the harbour commission. Once manned by a bevy of defeated but poli tically-in-the-know municipal candidates, the harbour com- m i s i on could have been compared in a satirical fashion to an all-star hockey team. There they all sat in eager anticipa- tion, the town "doers" - or those can- didates most I1ikely to succeed by asking loaded questions and by pull ing the rug from under. The only thing is though, the harbour c o m m i ssion, as far as the candidates were concerned anyway, never got off the ground. If it was the clear intention of those elected to municipal office to discour- age Ihose defeated, one wonders at th e i r power to keep the latter under- wing. Then perhaps their choice in tossing stale bread crumbs was due to an honest lack of knowledge of their competitor's true worth. But still one wonders. READERS WRITE ism, for a while at 1 east ? Answer - You can an s w er that ques- tion. Conclusion: As a Canadian who loves his country , i t makes me disgusted with o u r comr ad e leader, who seemis to be b en t on 1 ow- er i ng our country by b e î n g too friendly vvith the most un- godly, corrupt form of g o v e rnment de- vised by man or the devi 1. 'What is sad to me isthat 1 have even h e a r d people say, "At 1 east we wi 11 be equal under comm- unism".

FROM A SIRD eeS- ilm < EYE VIEWOUAIL 41 wé Toronto îs now. Many timesp vvhen we are too cri tical of W h i tby 1 it is because we have lost sight of the advantages of living here. At times like these, it might be best to s p end a weekenà or more in a big ci ty 1 ike Toronto. Ilm sure if anybody from Toronto reads th i s they wi 11 1 augh and say 1 lm ai 1 wet. 1 have the last 1 augh hovvever,, be- cause 1 know their laughter is just a cover up for jealousy. 1 1 i v e in VV h i tby by choice and be- cause 1 feel at home here even though 1 wasnltborn here. 1 am proud of Whitby and not ashamed to say so! And al though i t may seem 1 ike the wrong atti tude 1 hope the Town of Whitby never becomes the City of Whitby. Why spoil a goodjhinq, right? even more for sheer relaxation. 1 have considered living in Toronto many times but 1 lm afraid 1 ivinq there once was more thar* enough. 1 just canIt relax in Tor- onto like 1 can in Whitby. 1 t 1 s t r u e W hitby is not the sleepy town it once was back in 1952when 1 came here, but 1 bel leve Whitby has sti 11 retained its respectability of tranquil- ity and cleanliness. If youfre lookinq for excitement and entertainmentinWhitbyforgetit. Whitby doesn't hold a candle to Toronto in that respect. Butcouldyou live a life of ex- citement and entertainment all the time? Of course not! 1 do not judge Whi tby 1 ightly. 1 have lived in a great many ci ti es in Canada, and perhaps th a t i s the key. If Whi tby was a city i t might be just as hectic as
