PAGE 12, WLDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1980, WHITBY FREE PRESS Town growth should be at least ei*ght percent a year CONT'D FROM PG. 5 At this moment we need time te assimulate ail our new people in the community and look ai ter them well. Tni s in- volves good services, one of which is road work and, of course, new roads. Growth should be about eight per cent a year. It is ail very welI to feel everything can stay at the top peak of a few years ago but this does not and maybe should not be so; we need a breather. WE ARE SELLING OUT TO FAU. NMST GO!

I would thlnk It is absolutely tops as far as a natural harbour goes and with good and wise planning it has corne to be maybe the best on the laite. About $2 million was provided by both t.he federal and provincial governments and this does not just happen willy-nhlly. There can be major building projeets in the town because as in other business properties are bought and sold. So many other things but there just is not enough space. Again I sas' I think he has served us weil. One more thing we should mention are the buses. We have them, let's make them work. From the beginning the mayor said it was toc soon, probably five years too soon. At the moment we are not oriented to a bus system, the need did flot seem to be there. In time, yes. However, once council makes a policy, we are committed. We must make it work, we must live with it and for the time being make the best of it. Many people cried out for a bus systemn and I wonder just how many of them are using it. As far as the children go, do they have te be spoon fed? Many children walk anyway, others are taken by their families. Is it better to pay for school buses or pay for buses for everyone? Mistakes in judgement are often made by ail of us or many of us. Do we complain and carry on about it or do we try somehow to make it work? If aÏfter a trial run say of a year we can let it go.
