PAGE 16, WEDNEýSDAY. SElPT EM BER 18, 1985, WlllTBY FRE PRESS Polley House will be donated to Whitby CONT'D FROM PG. I body mandated by council and the gover- nment of Ontario for the preservation of historic buildings and that in an August vote of 7-1 the committee had decided to support the move. He reported that while Lynde House was the second oldest house in Whitby, the oldest house, the Polly house, may be donated to the town and entrusted to the WHS to operate just as the Lynde House will be operated. Sybil Stirling, vice- president for the Whitby Historical Society, in her case for relocation began by saying that Loblaws (represented by Whittington) had donated Lynde House to the society on condition that it would be moved, and it was the resnon- sibility of the executive to do that. She praised the efforts ofpeople she said had, since 1972, considered alternate solutions to Cullen Gardens and had rejected them. She said that the Cullen proposal had been accepted by the executive last July and that two committees, one to legalize the agreement with Len Cullen and the other to raise funds for the move, were already at work. She said that at Cullen Gardens the museum would . be financially self-supporting, it would have guaranteed preservation and the 25,000 visits per year would ensure preser- vation. Stirling said the WHS was asking the town for assistance and support for the move. Doug Anderson said he had never known of an historic building being moved unless it was absolutely necessary. He con- cluded the issue had got- ten so political some outside opinions were needed. Anderson said although the property had originally been gif- ted with the condition it be moved, there had been no contact with Whittington since then. He said people assume the house had to be moved but cor- poration plans change. Anderson said there was a belief that the land is too expensive but Whittington's vice- president said he had never been asked the price of the property. He suggested the land could probably be obtained for nothing if the town were willing to offer some concessions. People seemed to think the move would be good for the town he said, but if council were to diversify the tourism potential, instead of concentrating on Cullen Gardens, there would be a lot more investment in Whitby.

GEORGE ASHE, MPP (PC - Durham West) d driven there were more than a few jokes about their policies circulatîng throughout the halls of Queen's ned by ark. William One was the old saying that: "If you dont like lueda these principals, we have others." As incredible as age t it may seem, that appears to be exactly the case. ndat Just look at David Peterson's flip-flop on the 0f- ated at ficial Bilingualism issue. te at In opposition, nothing would satisfy Peterson but total official bilingualism in every corner of On- e break tario. What was good for Pierre Trudeau, was good ccurted enough for Peterson. The mere suggestion that he between might simply be posturing on this issue was ing and received with great emotion and vehement denial. g. They What a difference a change of office makes. tigatIng Now our unelected government is putting together a commission to tour the province and report on everything connected with bilingual ser- vices - except one. The commission mandate will not include dealing in any way with making Ontario officially bilingual. Amazing, isn't it? In one instant David Peterson can conceive nothing but officiailbilingualism. In the next, he doesn't even want to hear about it. Now, that's Liberal principal at its finest. The people of Ontario shouldn't be fooled by this nonsense. It's an insuit to the intelligence of On. tarians to send out a commission for no other reason than for the Liberals to be able to say they have ad- dressed the issue of bilingualism, fully. They probaly won't say "expensively", however. t The Progressive Conservative governments of Leslie Frost, Bill Davis and Frank Miller were ex- tremely sensitive to the need for bilingual services in Ontario. It has been provided more successfully in Ontario than any other jurisdiction in this land. This new game by David Peterson will accom- plish absolutely nothing, with the possible exception of reinforcing what Peterson already knows - the Tory government was responsive and progressive in the delivery of bilingual services in Ontario, where required. The current high standard of francophone ser- vices was accomplished through careful planning and discussion. The Liberal's proposed non- productive approach will surely create an at- mosphere of confrontationlin many centres across Ontario. Public hearings promote the formation of two fac- tions when the only question is should we do more. Many communities will be divided on this question and won't reply with a simple 'yes' or 'no'. The hearings will provide a forum for minority groups on both sides of the question. Old wounds will be opened and new ones made. No e I'm afraid David Peterson isn't doing anything for Ontarios francophones. DavidPeter- son is only looking after David Peterson with this ridiculous idea designed to give him a fall-back position on his Official Bilingualism conviction. But, its not your fault. You didn't vote David Peterson into office as Premier of this province. Bobby Rae did that. You just have to pay for his mistake. Your Local Chrysler-Dodge Sales and Service m?'
