Pictured is Doris Grierson, volunteer, at the food bank. The bank has increasingly been seeing more families use the bank in the past year due to high unemployment. The East- er drive had a fair turnout but was not as successful as the last drive at Christmas, Mrs. Grierson said.

T & C LIMOUSINE SERVICE PORT PERRY PLAZA » 68 SCUGOG STREET DIVISION of THE BEST of THINGS FLORISTS Tough questions in tough times From Page 7 ple are interested in. I suggest they are more interested in the specifics and in knowing what your government has in mind. I believe the public is more inter- ested in content not method. You appear to be interested in our concerns, to the point that you will tell the treasurer of them. But I have to wonder if this is to change the guarded budget a mere two weeks prior to its expected arrival or to gather publicopinion in order to make it more palatable to the people who have become "squawkers by nature". Is this government sending out the scouts and market analysts to soften the market for a product they don't want and can't af- ford? Thirdly, you indicated that you are leading the way by freezing your own salaries. Does this include operating budgets, expense accounts and remunerations for positions of added responsibilities? Finally, in another article in the same edition of the same paper (also enclosed) you are quoted as saying, "To be honest, alot of promises were made dur- ing the election, but we didn't expect to get into power." You alluded that promises made during the election were not meant to be carried out. But were you not elected on the strength of those promises? If this is the case, can we afford to trust this government? I realize I have put forth some tough questions but these are tough times. We don't need symbolic inclusion in the pro- cess, we need a government that is honest and "upfront" with its people. If this country has come of age, surely its peo- ple have. If you want direction from the people then you had better let the people know where they are and where you want to take them and how you are going to get them there. If we are truly a grown-up people, let go of our hands, let us see the store and pick what we want. Through dialogue we may then see what we need. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
