Editorial was act of public censorshi]p Dear SI r: 1 wouid like ta inform you that 1 take great ex- ception ta the editorial that appeared ln the Whit- by Free Press Jui1y 29, 198 1. In the editorial you express strong criticismn toward the Corridor Area Ratepayers Association for their efforts ta have a change made ln the municipal bus routes and service. The article suggests that the association Is oniy a special ln- terest grouip trying ta hinder the bus system, not help it. The editoriai also raises doubts as ta whether or not the association represents the wishes of the majority of area residents, and It imn- pliles that they shauld not be interfering in muni- cipal affairs, nor have they the right ta do so. Let me put your mInd ta rest: not only do they have the right ta look into ail 'matters' that might affect the residents of the Corridor Area of the Town of Whitby, whether it be municipal, provin- cial or federai, but by iaw the association is required ta act upon ail matters relating ta the amenities, comfort, safety and weifare of residen- ts of the Area. Their autharity and direction cornes from the charter issued by the Province of Ontario under "Letters Patent", guiding themn as ta when and haw they conduct their business. In the editorial, you f iercely attack the residents for having the audacity ta even suggest any change ln the municipal bus service. Your editorial neglects ta mention the specific change that the Ratepayers Association requested. You aiso fail ta mention the fact that the Corridor Area Ratepayers Association have held a number of public meetings, meetings that were advertised ln your paper and others, dealing with variaus Issues ef fecting the Corridor Area. You also seem ta Ignore the fact that It was at these public meetings *the area residents requested the association ta petition the town council for a route change. It would appear that you deliberately omitted mentioning the petition containing several hundred area resident's signatures, requesting a change. i arn very concerned that a paper, the calibre 0f the Whitby Free Press, wouid sanction suchan. editorial ta be printed. It reeks of public censor- ship. It does exactiy what It accuses the rate- payers association 0f doing. It implies that the Whitby Free Press is anly a speciai interest graup. In conclusion, i would like ta say that far a local paper, that has enjoyed a goad reputation for ac- curately reporting local issues and events, your editarial is one of the worst sa-cailed pieces of journaiismn that I have had the misfortune ta, read. Regretfuily 1 feel this editorial has drasticaliy af- fected the pubiic's opinion af your abiiity ta honestiy and accurateiy report the Issues and events aff ecti ng our County Town. Sincerely, John M. Buchanan, 108 Broadview Avenue, Whitby. EDITOR'S NOTE: We can't help but wonder whether Mr. Buchanan Is writing this letter as a private citizen or as one of Whitby's two represen- tatives on the Durham Board of Education, or whether it is even possible ta differentiate the two. Considering that the letter printed above con- cerns itseif with an Issue upon which the board may or may not have ta, contend with then It must be assumed that Mr. Buchanan Is speaking as a Trustee an the Durham Board of Education. It seems ta us that Mr. Buchanan Is being parti- cularly partisan in this issue. Not only does he reside ln the Corridor Area, but he is a past officiai of the Corridor Area Ratepayers' Association. As an officiai af the association, Mr. Buchanan ac- see our opinion on page 19 If tbi s mi rte -~ tI i., t' os bois... Board will re-instatt sy MICHAEL K.ELi.
