PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1974, WHITDY FREE PRESS It sccms un/'ortuna te t/w t a receizt Oshawa Times editor- il referred to t/te site of ýt/e present Dur/zamn regional /îeadiquarters (t/te old COtit building on Ross/and Road and Brock Street) as being "in a love/y cow pasture." It s quite surprisig how sorne 0ýhawanians fèe/ t/wl, Whitby 's lust "a /îick town lu the sticks." There are even some w/to feel thait Brookl, Whitby, etc. wiil sorneday lose tizeir identity and become part of Oshawa. T/tey fôgrget that W/îtby's population is aiready it ex - cess of 26,000 anzd wil/i no doubi double lu about five years.

And Il Whitby won't be a one industry bown, where everybody suffers if that indusiry encounters prob/ems. AND what a lot of 'outsiders' don't realize is that 'Whitby-itcs' have a tremendous amoun t of patriotic spirit.. that 's why wc geltte immeasurable local involvement we do.

As pointed eut in the let- ter frorn Mr. Bill Burgess, "If we are going te preserve our communities as deibe places te live, we must hait the flow of cities ente agri- cultural land. The time is now and the place is Whit- by" Otherwise, we'll end up with just another Brampton - Bramalea type fiasco, contri- buting mightily' te the Les Angelization cf Toronto. The population cf Ontario is expected te increase by at least flive million people by the end cf this century, a mere 26 years away. If pre- sent trends continue, 80 pcr cent cf these people will be urban dwellers, and most will be concentrated in the Tor- ente and Golden Herseshe areas. The enly practical way te avoid having Brooklin and Barrie and aIl the tewns and villages and ceuntryside be- tween them and Toronto, swallowed Up into one great megalopolis, is for us te create entirely new cities in southern Ontario - beyond commuting range from Tor- ente. There's nothing se werld shaking about the idea. lt's being donc succcssfully today in the U.S. and Europe. In fact, starting entirely new cities was a pretty cerrirnen Canadian practîce during tIhe l9th century, as our fore- fathers spanned the con tin- ent. Have today's Canadians becomne tee timid? Let's hope that Mr. Bur- gess himself might consider running for Whîtby council, and ethers like him, te help offset the apparent prepend- erance cf pro-development councillors now in office.
