It is. probably as close as inost Whitby residents will get to the subdivision if it is approved. Why? Becauise, at S200,000 apiece, there aren't too nmany people who will be able to purch:use one of the liouses. AIl we can msy to tile developer, Trow bridge Dcvelop- ments Limited, is "Good Luck" becatîse the coînpany will neccd it if it is to findL 31 people wI1( ciln afford the price tag.

The- Young brother of the owners of the Explorer Restaur- ant in Whitby had a frighitening experience when he arrived i Canada from Greece for a 45- day visit with his brothers Pauil and Peter Iselios. Young Bill Tseliouis, I15. told cuistoms officiais at Montreal's Mirabel Airport, that duiring his stay, he was going to help bhis bro thers a t the res tautiranit. Because he did not have aii employment visa, lie as tbreatened with deportation. His first niiove wvas to contact his brothiers who had no idea biow to solve the probieni.

[(I and Norni (leserve pats on thieir Kacks. by posi In April. an officiail(of the Canadian Post Office informed mnembers of the Whitby Town Counicil that it didn't miatter whether letters rnailed to Whitby were addressed "Whitby" or "Oshawa" as long as the postal code was correct. We were tiot to(> inlpresse(l about letters incant for Witby, being addressed "Oshawa", but it was ail right, -as long as the postal code was correct, accord- ing to the post office officiai. We now ask thîs officiai to explain the following incillent: A letter frorn The Little Ex in Oshawa was mailed to "M.B.M. Publishing, 1 21 Brock St. North, Whitby, LIN 4H3", with a p'wt mark of May 26, 1976. We received the letter on Juiy 9, after it had corne the long way- by way of England. It appears that the post office sorters thought the word "Whitby" in the address was. "Wembly", and off it went. It did not seem to matter that a Canadian postal code was beiow the word "Whitby", and as long as the postal code is correct, we are assured we wili get the letter promptly. of f ice On Junle 8, tbc envelope was back-stanîped witb canitcella-,tionis froin Mallethiorp)e & Sutton-on- Sea, anid Lincoln, Eîîgland. The British post office officiais %vro te "& not We -nbiv, Mi(Idlx--Cai nada-". on1 the front of the letter and back it c ine. This is tiot the firsi timie we bave been inade aware of the dextrotis sorting ability of the Canadian Post Office. In the Free Press of May 26, we pictured a letter aclcressed to the Chiamber of Commnerce in Whit by, Yorkshire Enigland. froini Wiîonîîock, B.C., whicb eîîded up at the Wbitby, Ontario Cham ber of Commerce office. It mnakes us wonder what the postai code is for and wbether we should have new eyegiasses provided to the post office sorters. It mnay seemn a trifling natter to complain about, but that letter to MIBM Publishirig con- tained a cheque for a substantial amount of mnoney in paymnent for advertising in the Free Press. When a smal business has to survive on the prompt collection of its receipts, such carelessness- by the post office is not appre ciated.
