iC RR abitaianiett fii 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 28, 1985 letters Student was impressed Dear Sir In case you don't remember me, | am the student who recently completed an urban development project of Port Perry. Because | found all those associated with the pro- ject so helpful | was hop- ing if you could publish the following thank you letter in your next paper. In January of this year, the entire class of the Seneca College Real Property Adminstration course was asked to com- plete a project concern- ing an urban centers ur- ban development. Being from the Oshawa area, | had many. choices such as Oshawa, Whitby, Pickering or even Bowmanville. Instead, | chose Port Perry mainly because the village has always appealed to me. As a result of this pro- ject, I found that the citizens of Port Perry have much to be proud about The history of the village 1s very rich From the coming of Peter Perry to the building of the railway and the fires of 1883 and 1884, Port Perry has a history that is as exciting as a town or city history can get! To attain information on both the past and the present I acquired much help from many citizens. I would like to give a Brest-Litovsk. more than 40 year editorial comments (continued) the end of the war. There is a series of double page full colour photos of present day Russia where famous battles took place s ago: Stalingrad, Minsk, Leningrad, There are 11 gut-wrenching photos of civilians caught in the cross-fire of war, including victims of the concentration camps and survivors of Nagasaki. But no mention of Canada. : No a mention of Dieppe, where just under 1000 Canadians lost their lives in the rehearsal for D-Day; not a mention of Juneau Beach on June 6, 1944; not a men- tion of the convoys ("rough the North Atlantic to Mur- mansk, not a mention f Hong Kong in 1940; the cam- paign in Italy or the lil eration of Holland. When some Canadian news media contacted the editors of Life to ask why Canada was over-looked, they were told lamely that there just wasn't enough space in the special issue for everything. We wonder if the real reason isn't merely the fact that Life, like so many other American institutions con- tinues to believe that north of the 49th parallel is nothing more than a vast void. Maybe in memory of th e 45,000 Canadians who died in the last war, and to note that Canada's war con- tnbution began in September, 1939, Canadians should overlook this special issue of Life on the grounds that there just isn't enough space for everything. ve ® BARB.) ® SWEET & SOUR Taste the delicious difference of with your choice of tasty sauces! ® HONEY 6 Pack | | 9 pack | [20 Pack| or TRY eM 199 289 599 20TH FRIED CHICKEN 136 Water St. Port Perry SELON ® HOT MUSTARD ® TARTAR SAUCE SEAFOOD \ 20Pc "FUN PACK" oC .r ve*' 599 Thank You tor 20 Great Years special thank you to the following people who made my project such a success, Judy McColl and her staff at the Scugog Library, Earl Cuddie at the municipal building; Peter Hvidsten, publisher of the Port Perry Star, and the staff at the Scugog Historical Museum. | would also like to thank all of the businesses in the downtown area that participated in my survey as well as some of the industries especially great Mother Jackson's, Vachons and Zoecon In- dustries Limited.

Mother's Day initiative asks women to write Whether we live in the city or country, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's forthcoming decision on Canadian participation in Star Wars affects us all. Numerous authorities have examined the 26 billion dollar, 5 year research program and concluded that it is not the technological salva- tion we all wish it were. Instead, it has the poten- tial to double the arms race, thus becoming the greatest threat to peace the world has ever known. Best-selling children's cookbook author Lisa Bevelander launched a nation-wide appeal on Mother's Day, urging women young and old to write to Mila Mulroney about the Star Wars issue. Bevelander ex- plains, "As a mother of three, expecting a fourth child, she may be the political figure most able to relate to mother's fears about the arms race. Also, she has recently established an office on Parliament Hill." "Everything we do as mothers is ultimately for the protection of our children" Bevelander says, "although tragedy can strike in spite of our best efforts." Nine years ago she lived every mother's nightmare, helplessly watching as her three year old son was hit in a fatal car ac- cident. Since then she has dedicated herself to making life better for children, first by pro- moting healthier foods through her cookbooks and presently by pro- moting peace. The Star Wars debate 1s a supremely critical one for humanity. Once it is determined it will af- fect life on earth for generations to come. Canadians should never underestimate their power to influence this decision. If we speak for peace together, we could give hope to others around the world. The government welcomes public response on the Star Wars issue. The deadline for a decision was postponed partially for that reason. While the Prime Minister's study group prepares recom- mendations for the cabinet, there is still time to speak out. Mrs. Bevelander urges everyone, but especially mothers and all those who love children, to write a simple letter, "from the heart", telling how they feel about Star Wars and the arms race. She asks that the letters be sent to Mila Mulroney, before or by June 2nd. Historically, June 2, 1873 was organiz- ed as a Mother's Peace Day by Julia Ward Howe, a Boston woman who deplored the tragedy of the American Civil War. "It will be impossible to protect our children from nuclear war once it starts' Bevelander says, "that's why we have to fight now. In a democracy we can fight for what we believe in by writing letters, and EVERY LETTER COUNTS! It is even postage free. Please write to Mila Mulroney, care of the Prime Minister's Office, Langevin Block, Ottawa, K1A OA3, and encourage other women to do the same."
