job as executive assistant to the minister of Forestry and Rural Development Mr Roberts is goodlooking married industrious and ambitious But he lacks some vital ingredients which will make him a suitable person to represent riding in the House of Commons He has no ties with riding either through family connections property or business At the recent Liberal nomination meeting Mr Roberts told the delegations that he had to date spent only days in the riding His candidacy in for the Liberal Party is what is termed in political circles as a parachute job Mr Roberta follows three terms of Liberal representation for the riding representation by that funny member John Addison Mr Addisons attendance in the House of Commons was among the worst of any MP in Canada Part of the reason for

because what she says about the children is not true I know as well as any other driver who has passed through East Gwillimbury Heights that children do play on the road A good driver knowing thia will re duce so that a sudden stop three times is not necessary or at least will not cause what made me smile is her implication that had it not been for her sons good driver qualities something might have happened and it would have been another teenagers fault Well I do not know how many teenage sons Mrs C E Thompson has but I know at least one of them by name It was only a few weeks ago on a Friday night on Davis Drive in Newmarket that I witnessed something her teenage son thought The game is to pull out in front of an oncoming car when is almost dark Of course you must pull back into your car lane again before you collide The clos er you come to a collision the more of a hero you are You also scare the people In the itself is great fun I would tike to predict Mrs Thompson that one of these days your son is going to kill a nice innocent family not just one kid It will certainly be said then that the accident was duo to the dang driving of a teenager the nth whether Please Mrs Thompson for your peace and mine when your son is driving a car would you keep him in your back yard and off the road Queen St Dear Editor This is to express our sincere appreciation of your efforts
