Pouliot explained in the letter that one of the mat- ters raised at the meeting with council was the *'in- adequate air service Police The Terrace Bay Police are presently involved in the following program: V.I.P.

Allow me to suggest one possibility. Government-sponsored or even government- condoned Day Care pro- grams encourage parental irresponsibility and_ ill- chosen priorities that result in damaged children. I do not mean that the surrogates employed by Day Care centres are in any way inept or uncaring -- they simply are unable to provide the love .and constant individualized care that is required to turn an impressionable youngster into a morally and socially responsible adult. Parents continue to ab- dicate their obligations to their pre-schoolers in droves, and this tendency has borne bitter fruit: juvenile crime, drug and alcohol addiction, and the thing we naively call the "generation gap.". Any psychologist worth his salt will tell you how important these early years are to a child's emotional develop- ment. Yet parents continue to exchange these priceless moments with their children, and for what? In 90:.- percept, _.mdre disposable income! At best, a working mother inteuds to provide material advantages for her children, and even this is mistaken.

What they need is quali- presently available to the residents of Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Rossport."' He added that the com- bined population of the three communities exceeds 5,500 and continues to grow. *'Furthermore, Terrace Bay boasts a paved runway of almost 5,000 feet and their excellent facilities have earned them a licence suited to accomodate passenger SET Vice * Poultot said in the letter ad- dressed to Bob Deluce, who was not available for comment this week. Pouliot said he has 'tno hesitation in recommen- ding that this region be given consideration in your ever expanding network of air service benefitting the people of the North ... in my opinion, this situation presents an encouraging potential for your company."" At present. area residents who wish to travel by plane must use the Thunder Bay or Marathon airports for most trips. "It is our collective wish that you will see our re- quest in a positive light and your reply at your earliest convenience regarding this most important issue is greatly appreciated," Pouliot said in the letter, which was dated January 22 and sent from his Toronto office. get involved in programs race Bay Public School will be involved in' this program.

One shudders to speak of mothers who work, not for the future of their children, but simply for more things: another car, a better house,» yet another TV, more booze, and even more cigarettes; and rationalize their greed on the grounds that they '"'deserve a career," or salve their consciences with the lie that Day Care provides the things their children need.

The aims of the V.I.P. program are to provide op- portunities for the students to: What it needs is mothers who will make it their responsibility to spend their days with their children, and fathers who will make it their responsibility to spend a healthy part of their evenings with their children to give Mom a well-deserved break. Rais- ing children is a privilege and ought to be regarded as such. Children in Terrace Bay and everywhere else will benefit from a little more unselfishness and a great deal less parental whining.

A request from the Chimo Senior Citizen's Club for repairs at the Chimo Building was refer- red to the Building Committee. Permission was given by Council to the Hudson Bay store in Schreiber to use the patented town crest on future T-shirts and caps which would be sold through the shop itself. Don Robb, manager of the Bay, told the News that his store's souvenir pro- gram will get underway this spring, with the special caps and shirts to be available as early as April. An additional $30,000 was approved by Council for interior finishing at the town's new Fire Hall. Councillor Gerry Godin said that work at the building is progressing well. Councillor Tom Quinton asked Council to consider looking into the possibility of getting a dog pound for the municipality. "The two things that won't ever go away from here are dogs (on the loose) and snowmobiles," he noted. He admitted that a potential problem would be the high initial cost and the need for a full time staff. It was suggested that a dog pound could be built in conjunction with Terrace Bay Township Council. An application will be made to the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications for a $20,000 storm sewer project at Hill Street in the town. Hill Street blues have been caused by the runoff from the nearby mountain area. "Hopefully this will be approved by the Ministry," Gauthier: said. 824-2216 Schreiber Curling Club Annual Minnie McCuaig Mixed Bonspiel will be held Wednesday, March 12th, 1986 Sunday, March 16th, 1986 $120.00 per team Supper and Dance on 'March 15th, 1986 Contact -- Betty Ann McKenna -- First 32 paid rinks accepted Cut-off date -- Friday, March 7th, 1986 Ontario.
