Page 2 Editoria COUNCIL BOUQUET W h i le t h e Whitby taxpayer can be verbose in his criticsm of what the p r esent Mayor andCouncil of the town are not doing for the municipality, that our m un i c i p a I leaders recognize the grow i ng trend for consolidaton of W h i tby services in Oshawa, and in so d o i ng, are bent on stifl ing that trend, i s worthy of even the most discerning taxpayer's notation. And one doesn't have to be ultra- se n s i t ive to detect the direction that trend is tak ing. Already one and a haîf of two of Whi tby's vital public s e r v ic es are slated for Oshawa con- solidation this year alone. The proposed closing of the local CP E x p r e s s and the proposed postal move of Whitby mail sorting to Oshawa are both b e ing justified by government heirarchy as Ileconomical I moves. I r r espective to reason - yesterday i t w a s the closing of the CNR Station and the former School of Nursing - tomorrow it could be mail sorting and CP express. While council's Operations Commit- tee in fighting for three jobsin the c u r r ent battle with postal authorities mayberidiculed now, tomorrow with a n t i cipated population projection, the number of jobs fought for coul d be three hundred. But postal authorities and CP rep- r e s en t a tives care not apparently for Whitby's projected population potential. Council's main concern in both dis- p u t e s is that in the long term erosion of i t s o w n f a cilities, the blossoming trend to Oshawa consolidation may in- d e ed f lourish to an irreversible one, so that when Whitby does have its sub- s t a n tially increased population, many of t h e s e b a s ic services enjoyed now w i Il be in large at Oshawa with only a f o r m o f their original publ ic conven- lences to the people of Whitby. The trend whilestill blossoming o b v i o usly has to be stopped now, and council, wisely, is putting in the stop- per while there is still a sink to plug. - ACROSS i The loss WTlraffic 1Tire worn 1 Auto l' Verb 1?Compete with 13 Arabian wrap 14Unused 15 Wi.ne .essel ló 6Nffalo 38g Silic fabric 20 Sirgjng voice 22 Permit 23 Abrupt .lugh 25 Ajter. poet 27 Long for 30 Mediterranean 32 Staff of life 34 Conclude 17 Army assault 35 Nckpiece 19 Hallowed place 37 Mincemeat 21 -.!.

IIlIiiflhIflhIIIlIlItIIIIIIlUIDIlIUI Dear Sir; While at Whitby Arena last Sun- day, 1 overheard a couple of com- ments that really bothered me. One m an , because he h a d to pay tosee his little boy play hockey, decided that h e would be- come the coach of the team then and there. The other man who had a friend with him, de cided that "the kid's mother" w o ul1 d be the one to see the game because he 11was- nit paying fifty cents to see his k i d pl ay." I just hope t hese were the on ly fathers w ho fel t this way about their boys. Do these parents real ize that the parentsofall Star pl ayers have to pay fifty cents for ev- ery home game and as much as seven- t y - five cents and onedollar in some out-of-town aren- as? The feel ing is that AIl Stars get everything. Well they get one-hour ,hockey practice e a c h w eek and a hockey helmet and a pair of hockey pants ta0 wear for the season, but their parents have the privilege of paying to see ev- ery game they play ail season. I think it's about time Brook I in- W h i t b y -M i n o r Hockey realized that If ajj parents p a i d to see their boys play hockey, the Association wouldn't be so hard up right now. Justbecause some kids are good en- ough to wear s w e aters marked Brooklin or Whit- by and play out of town games, it doesn't seem fair that their parents should be the only ones to subsidize Minor Hockey. I am not com- pl aining for my- Publlsh Editor Editori Mdvertig Cassfi circuIw self. It just annoys me when I see people begrudging fifty cents once or twice a year to see kids who have w o r k ed hard en- ough all season to r e ach the hockey play-offs. I hope these boys are as proud of their fathers as the fathers seem to be of them. Sincerely, Mrs. Freda Rowley Sirs; Recently I read a letter in your p ap e r in which a so- c alled expert took it upon him- self to enlighten the citizens of Canada on the facts THE WHITBY FREE PRESS CWI o r the Cesty 1n) Hômetwn paper of Whitby, Brooklin, Myrtie and Ashburn. Published every Thursday in and for the people of Whitby. Offices - 301Byron St S. Whitby - Box 206. Whitby - 6686111 - W. BillIDurke - Judy Durkee il Staff - J. Quail sing ed tion - Ron Winstanley - Phyllis Millar Barry Schroeder of the Life Insur- ance industry. Thi s insurance expert, (actually a nurse at the Whi tby Hospital), as most well-informed ex- pertsdo, neglect- ed to give two sides ta the story, and f urthermore, im- p I i e d that insur- ance agents are dishonest. The wr i ter recently a p p iled for a job atone of the major insurance compan- iesandwas turned down. I wonder if thi s has some bearing on his de c isio to write this letter. It has often been s ai d that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and it would ap- pear from the let- ter that thiswriter would have this parti cular des- cription. Life in- surance, be it term or permanent isdesigned to do a particular job and the situation will dictate the type of i n s u r ance which sh oul d be sold - this is the basis on which any good agent works. I am in the in- s u rance business and so are hun- dreds of other people I know, †4 4 à é 0 W à,**p#tttrS 1 * Orb,# and to a large ex- tent, they own permanent insur- ance with cash value savings. 1 s n't it odd that a person in the bus- iness buys perma- ment insurance? He is w e11 aware of the benefits of- the various plans and I am sure as an agent, he is i n t erested in ac- c u m u I ating mon- ey, the sameas e v eryone el se. It is a fact that most successful people have an adequate amount of perma- ment in surance and where term insurance is need- e d , i t i s u s ed. Most 1ife insur- ance companies are, in fact, own- ed by their pol- icy owners and share in the growthof thecom- panies in propor- t i o n to the prem- iums they pay. There is another expression which comes to mind and that is that, "an empty barrel makes the most noise." I do not wish to ge t into a di s cussion on the pros and consof the life insurance industry. I would just like to point out that the aver- age Canadian will a c c um ulate most of hi s money in the q u iet of his home and the money sa ved in the per- manent,Iife insur- ancepolicy. There is no r e al secret to this. The reas- on is, the average individual will not savemoney unless it is in force sav- ings where he has for med a regular habitof depositing a srmall amount of hispay-check into an insurance plan. The fact that a lot of people may not agree with this, does not change the fact that most people will not save regul arly u n I e s s forced to do so. This is what insurance is, pro- tection while you save. Sincerely, J. Frendo-Cumbo, C. D. Supervisor. letters to t heàed ito r box 20,6, whitby a a * a Y' ..m Uleqe officiel' 1
