"With a minimum of effort and expense, we could beautify our main street and create the in- volvement of the citi- zens in a worthwhile projet," he continued. "We could very easily make a very lasting im- pression on the visitor. "This whole idea could add consideraly to the community spirit and identity of Whitby.

McEwen also has some reservations in this area. "We ail recognize the difficulty of getting this group to work together, but if one or two made a start and it is effective, I arn sure many of the others would follow, " he said.
