At present we have two, the WHITBY FREE PRESS and the WHITBYWORLD, withat least five outside financial ly powerful news- papers: The TORONTO GLOBE AND MAIL, TORONTO STAR, the TELE- GRAM, the NEWS ADVERTISER, and the OSHAWA TIMES; I am personally a s ub s c r i b e r to two of these of my choice, morning and evening to keep informed on Canadian and world events as do many local residents.
