Mike BurgeS lIse~M fail dtr. -04,0,,: Use the buses while you co The people of Whitby, for many years, have expressed their desire for public transportation within the town. The issue surfaces every once in awhule and has, on occasion, become the subject of heated debates. It arose during last year's by-election canîpaign and r-nost of the people running for office found theinselves questioned by the constituents: "Whien are we going to get public transporta tion?" *We have it now but it is not being used. Charterways Company Ljmiited, in co-operation and 011 a cost-sharing basis with the Town of Whitby, is offering, on an eight to I -week trial basis, an intra-town bus service which comrnunity as is possible with one bus. Each trip of the circuit takes two hours to complete and they begin at 9 a.m., Il a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Rates range froin 25 to 45 cents. It is a fairly attractive service, one which more people should be taking Advantage of. Approxirnately 12 to 1 5 people use the bus every day, about haîf the number -the company says it needs to justify extending the service past the trial period. We urge the townsfolk, who, in the past, have complained about the lack of public transportation, to use the service. If you don't use it now, it won't be aro-end rnuch longer.

've littie public recognition. rvrs. Pat Wilcox, the winner of the 1975 Peter Perry Award, is one who belonged to the second category, until last Friday. She îîever sought '000t)public recognition for her community work and neyer expected it. But through the Peter Peîry Award she o N i3 lias received the appreciation due to her as one of Whitby's hardest workers for the youth of her community. With 13 years of work with the- Girl Guides and I11 years as a Sunday School teacher and superintendent, Mis. Wilcox has had an important impact on the lives of many of Whitby's young people. She lias seen girls shte wtrked with as a Brownie leader, grow Up to graduate froin university and get married. Mrs. Wilcox say.,vs she is a "Mis. Average", but many people like lier help to make up this community and contribute to its development. Twenty-one years ago, Judge Pritchard, the donor of the Peter Perry Award, said there were many "Peter Perrys" in Whitby who deserved- to be recognized for their contributions. It is a good thing that the Peter Perîy Award is an honor that can be bestowed, flot only on a well known citizen in the community, but also the average hard-working individual whose efforts on behaîf of the Town of Whitby are flot always in the public eye. This, we are sure, was the intention when the Peter Perry Award was created. To Mis. Wilcox, we offer oui congratulations and thanks for a job well done, and know that her work for the young people of Whitby will continue for many years in the future.

Mr. Allun, if you liad read the June 2 issue of the Free Press, you would have realized that the letter you refer to was a response to an equally tongue-in-cheek letter from MPP Godfrey in which the MPP wrote "...rat poison had been. put in my office ... The rat poison remained in my otfice for approxi- mately four days. I carefuilly removed a sinail amount each day and flushed it down the container was again full. It was obvious that someone was closely watching my rate of ingestion and 1 expeet a consultant's report with- The Senior Citizens Group I arn very pleased to write and express my Joy and pleasure of meeting such 'a fine 'group of congenial and friendly people.
