The Whitby Recreation I)epartïnent is t'eatuiring a Ringette programi for aiea girls thiis winter. To date, tie response lias been rather poor. Actuially, as regards a junior girls teamn, the response lias been pathetic. Consider- ing the size of Whitby and Brookîju aiea, it is incredible that so little interest lias been showvn in tthis interesling and competitive game. Girls' hockey is great, but not ail girls wish to play that. Ringette offers a viable alternative to those girls who like competition whiich is a little less rougli but none-the-less fierce! My latest information iý that only three girls have registered in the junior category -- can you believe ive have oilly thîce girls from 8 to 10 ycars of*t uge Ilu 1111 whlo1 a rca wan ting to play ringette?

The girls have a chance to enjoy good cloa teami compotition, to travel to touinameënts (other aireas liave flot beei as slow as ours to recognize the merits of' til k gaine), and to have a lot of fun. I undreds of boys from tlis aiea are carted back and f*orth to arenas ail over the place aIl winteî. Surely our girls rate sone expenditure of oui time. Sports are good for girls too! Porhaps, this is not the problem. Could it bc that we grow oui girls so tough around hure that they consider ringette a "creampufr"' sport?. Let's hope flot because il is a really fun game. Certainly, it rernains a sorry state of affairs that Whitby and Brooklin should lag bchind neighbouring communities such as Ajax and Pickering in pioducing a good stîong Icague of ringette teams.

The recent announcement from Dr. Ken Hobbs of is intention to run for the office of Mayor ruminds us of the fact that this is an election year hure in Whitby, and Durham Region. Dr. Hobbs, the Councillor for the West Ward, will vie with incumbent Mayor Jim Gartshoru for the top spot hure in Whitby. Councillor Tom Edwards, a former Whitby Reeve, is rumourud to be considering runnîng for Mayor, too, but, as of this writinghad yet to declare himself in. If Councillor Edwards is in, we will have a dandy three-way race with the voters buing gi-Jun a choice from ail thîee shades of the political spuctrum. Even if Edwards doesn't enter, a two-way battle butweun Gaîtshore and Hobbs wilI afford the voters a definite choice. The tîagedy of municipal elections, though, lies in the fact that, even given good candidates, the probability is that fewer than 25% of those eligible will take the time to vote. Less than 25% wvilI elect cou neils, and school boards - local BROWN 'S BROOKLIN, ONTARIO NORTH.

Why do municipal elections generate s0 little interest oýn the part of the voters? The answer, i think, lies with the voter', the politician, and the system. The voter, faced with a municipal election, neyer seems to appreciate the importance of such an election. He neyer seems to consider that the people electud will decide such things as roads to be îepaired, subdivisions to bu approved, and schools to bu buit, and after making those decisions, how much rnonuy will have to be raised by property taxes to pay for tlhu work to be done. If thîe voter paused to refléct on the number of ways municipal govurnmunt affects us ah, lie would, I submit, bu much more - Cont'd on P.14 Il TISE 101 IK ~ PEK KKA L .!i'M at S.
