That's why I've decided to bring back the gold star system. Remnember when we were kids and the teachers handed out gold stars as a sign of ap- proval? It was even better than verbal acclaim because it lasted longer and was visible. That gold star shone brightly for weeks or months on the chart on the wall or lasted forever on the corner of the scribbler page (that's what we called note books way back then). Anyway, after reading over last week's paper, 1 decided that there was an article in there that definitelydeserved a gold star. It was the Letter to the Editor by a Mr. Dudderidge. He expressed my sentiments exactly and expressed them more ar- ticulatelythan 1 ever could. In brief, he was com- menting on the proposed expansion of Iroquois and pointing out something that we products of the depression era have always known - when there are limited funds, the necessities of life must be taken care of first. He also mentioned that should the fun- ding for more recreational facilities become available, these facilities should be situated in the northern part of the town proper or as is now the c'aqt- more nentrally to greater Whitby. I would also MITCHELL BROTHERS Cassels & Church St. 0 BROOKLIN 655-49 91 like to commend our own North Ward councillors for putting forth and defending this last suggestion. Keep up the good work fellows and you too could win your gold stars. EUCHRE PARTIES Two special euchre parties are coming up. Myrtie is having one tomnorrow night in the church basement.
