PAGE 2, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25,1973, WHITBY FREE PRESS For some individuaisgoing into business merely means opening the doors and, taking in the money. There seems te be lie thougbt about what people think about bis business. 'We have one sucb individual in the dowiitown area. He runs a pizza and Italian take-out food business. And apparentl y he doesn't give a fig about what people think about his pizza delivery drivers. His drivers have beeiî warmîcd .countiess limes by the éolice about their driving, habits and yeî they stili con- tinue te, drive, or rather aim the Volkswagcn delivcry cars a thcy werc driving the ultimate weapolî. On a recent occasion the owner of tbis pizza establish- ment was telephoned and toid about the dangereus driving habits of one of bis drivers that very afterneon. His answer was, "Don't tell me, tell the driver, it's get netbing to do witb me!" It very obviousiy didn't malter te, the owner that bis yellow Volkswagefl delivery car, with bis sign boldly fastened te the roof, was seen careening down a residential street in a manner considered dangerous to both public lives and property. He couldîî't sec that people would think of his business cxactly what they thought of biis driver's actions behind the wheel of the delivery car. It's a bad situation when a citizen has to go to the police to have a rotten driver removed from the road after the employer refuses te become involved. We'can only hope bis pizzas are better than his delivery boy's driving habits. Once again, history may repeat itself if the general public fail to stick together in a unified front. The 'tail could wag the dog' with elected and hîred municipal officiais telling their employers (the ratepayers) what they will or will flot do. Thursday evening, Oct. i 8th a far from apathetic.group of irate citizens streamed into the Whitby Municipal Building to voice thefr opinions. This is democracy 'at work with the public standing up for what they feel is right. This is as it should he for we are still living a in free country with freedom of speech a main aspect of our society. lite fact remains however, that in toe many instances a worthy cause bas been lost because interest in the project was allowed to 'cdie on the vine', In order te follow through to a successful conclusion the interest must be maintained. This is the task facing the organizer of the orderlydemonstratien, Thursday night. lite WHITBY FREE PRESS welcomes news reports about community happenings or local peepie.

Mairie Butter Il ceuld be remembered, that one Planning Board officiai voiced a personal opinion which may be dloser te, the truth than one may imagine. The theme Ibcbind the opinion dealt wilh a suggestion that Provincial Auth- orities may take planning control away fromn the people if, they are net careful. Thtis is ne idie threat - il could happen. Things like Ihis have been donc before - they wiil be donc again!

For the past month the Football tcams of Ander- son C.V.I. in Whilby have been playing organized bal against such schoois as Port Perry, Uxbridge, Pickering and Ajax. During Ibis period I didn'I sec anything in your paper mentioning these gam- es. Tomorrow is the annual Mayor's Cup Ciassic belwcen Anderson and their cross-lown rivais, Henry High School. In Ibis wceks paper there was no mention of Ihis import- ant game. Two years age over 1,000 people watched a hard played game. In next wcek's paper 1 expect and hope te sec an article and maybe some pictures of this game. It seems te me that the only lime a kid gets in the paper ,is when hie's busled. 'ours truly, Dave Howard, Grade 10 Student. Editor's note: Our lack of coverage in certain areas bothers us just as much, if net more. That is why a short staffed community pa- per such as the Free Press is dependent upon readers like yourself tellingus WHAT you are doing, and hence contributing te the paper in the area you îhink we arc iacking. For example, your letter dated Oct. 12 mention- ed thec Mayor's Cup Ctassic on the l3th, but we for some unknown reason didît't rece- ive your lelter until Oct. 1 6. A littie late te cover some- thing wc JUST heard about. Irregardless, it's impossible for ANY media regardiess of size le cover EVERY- TrHING ALL THE TIME, in which case if wc have missed somcthing that is newsworthy Spicase feel freetet submnit a report te us and then you ,won't be ovcrlookcd.
