Lucile Roy, president of the Association Social-Cultureli du Longueuil, tbat com- munities twinning committes, saîd that ber group truly enjoyed their visit. But tbere was only one small prablem. "Ob, we enjoyed aur visit s0 much," she said, 'Just one tbing - it's too short." Roy said that in future years, she would like ta ses the visit expanded ta four days. That extra, she feels, would give all participants a littie more time ta be together. Roy bas besn a par- ticipant in tbe twinning for the asat 12 years and nated that unlike Wbit- by, ber council doesn't organize the annual visita. Her association does.

Morissette, wha is alsa deputy mayor of Longueuil, said that he would like ta see dloser co-operation with Whit- by Town Cauncil. He says that bath communities face similiar problema and could pool informatiôn and find new solutions ta deal with them. He would like ta see a day set aside before the social and cultural ac- tivities begin s0 that both elected officiais and staff can meet ta discuss these problems. "The twinning now has done as much as it can, we would very mucb like ta see it ex- panded," be said. "I would personally like ta ses an excbange, coun- cil ta council, especially on economic matters." "The twinning sbould go a like bit further," he added.
