This morning 1 telephoned my neighbour, and the eail was answered by a sweet, clear voice singing Jingle Belis. What a wonderful way to begin my day: Laurie thought it was her sister calling,a nd was a littie emnbarrassed when she,discovered her error. However, it was a lovcly gesture, sure wlshmore calls could be answered the same way. The snow removal for the Town of Whitby has been fantastic. The weather has not co-operated very well, making the job most difficuit, Comparing our Town to our neighbours to the east .and west, we must consider ourselves most fortunate. Whitby has, by far, thc cleanest streets, the best sanded highways, and the fastest remnoval of snow. Congratulations to our works department. They have done a commendable job.
