Dear Mr. Burgess: It is with some regret that 1 have ta start off the Ncw Ycar on a nega- tivé nate, with regards ta an article printed Decem- ber 29, 1976. This item dlaims, "Kaînins, an". Only by reference ta the mast Rev. Phillip F. Pacock, was the writer an. From there an in this writing, it seemed dawn 1111. 1 respect this man's treeciom ta write Dear Sir: 1 arn writing this letter ta express my opinion ta tIc peo ple of Whitby and surraunding area. Since maving ta Whitby 2 y cars aga 1 have found it a perfect tawn ta live in and raise a farniîy. However tîcre remains one sore spot and that cancerns 1 the Whitby Warriar Senior 'A' hockey tcam. At the first exhibition garne this year 1 bouglit season tickets. Since that game, 1 arn appalled and dis- gusted at the total Iack of interest that the people of Whitby have for their hockey tcar-n. 1 cannot understand why a town of over 24,000 people cannot fi a rink with a seating capacity of 1,500. t wouild only take a small percentage of the populationi ta do this. I understand that the Hockey club pays a percentage of the gate to his articles with the frec- dami given journalists in this country. 1 do think this type of prostitution of thauglit belongs mare ta the publicationis Mr. Kaînins sccrns ta support in this irrespansible pie ce '0f jaurnalism. Mr. Kaînins it would appear, las lost sigît of the fact that not only aur spiritual leaders arc con- cerncd with the prolifera- tian af sex-orientcd smut, but others responsible for the well being of the 'Iroquois Park Comn- plex. The more maney reccived frarn the tcam means lcss maneyy oLi taxpayers wilî pay. Why don't you people go ta the gamnes and get a gaad eveniflgs entcrtainment, because if you don't youi are gaing ta pay anyway. I alsa wonder haw many games the mayar and town counicil have been- ta. The players on flhc teamn are anly working people and are being paidl an insignificant amount per gai-ne. Don't thcy deserve a little support for reprcscnting aur tawuî in the Senior "A" icague? We don"t want ta lose this teamn, 50 Sunday niglit, lets get off auir butts, and go ta the gamne. It is excellent hockey ta watch. Bring a friend. Thank you, Fred Ross, 938 Greenwood Cres, whitby.- group.1 Councillor Drumm seenis to feel that the Ratepayers are a "vocal minority", but the association has some 500 families asý paid-up menibers.- That represents a lot of votes, Joe! (Somnewhere around 1,000, or about haîf the votes in the ward) Remeinber thatRon Treleavan, who, aithougli- a tuember of the Ratepayers' Association, but flot officially backed by them, finishied last with 388 votes. Let's face it Joe, your rei»arkçs on Saturday did flot whi any friends, but they quite ilkely, have' infhîenced many people. Members of the Corridor Ratepayers who voted for you inust be doing a littie lhead scratching now. through twiuning National unity depends on people, and individual people working with other individual people and getting to know them, can do far more than philisophical conférences of governinent ministers. It is at the grass roots level that the future of Canada will be decided. Therefore it behooves us as Whitby cîtizens to get involved, to meet the people of Longueuil and find out how they view the current situation in Quebec._______________ M tpornography callee fa ni ly life, sucli as the face of the dehutmani- parents are aIsoc concerncd. izîng debauchery. if Mr. Kalins sec ms ta allowcd to graw, the very think, pioliicians, yes tins o wihte those whio were braughit Archibishop spoke out ini ta, office by people like concerfl, could reduce thie yOLi and me, have ri base instincts of rnany concern with tlhese things Young inids ta those of that hiave a direct effect aninialistic escapism fromi on our conmunity life. the realities of hiigher Not sa, people like thoughit.
