125 when all was over the fund was richer by 1205 00 editors mail town must have goals dear mr thomas your gloom and doom editorial in the issue of nov 27 appeared to come down rather hard on ward 6 councillor jim sanders this is not to say i dont agree with you life must still go on despite our energy problems but the councillor i feel was only expressing an opinion that many of us tend to overlook we must be concerned about future energy supplies and what theyre going to cost however thats not my reason for writing it would appear that your criticism of mr sanders prompted him to contact your paper or you to contact him the vision if i may call it that shows said councillor to be a different type of person than earlier contacts had revealed indeed there may be hope for whitchurchstouffville yet whether within the reaches of a municipality of 14000 people or not a town must have goals even if the majority are unattainable it gives people especially young people something to look forward to possibilities no matter how far into the future we all need this councillor sanders idea of one or more outdoor artificial ice rinks is good roller- skating and curling should hold high priorities here bike paths and jogging trails why not in my opinion none of the aforementioned are beyond our financial capabilities if we as a town put our collective minds and energies to it however if were merely content to sit back fold our arms and do nothing then nothing will be the result and one more thing i fully endorse your recommendation tribune edition dec 4 that whitchurchstouffville needs a hall of fame what a marvellous project for one of the service clubs to undertake and what a memorial to folks past present and future i can personally think of enough candidates that would un doubtedly qualify and so can you these are the things that take a town out of the ordinary and make it special these are the things that make people proud and a community great im behind your suggestion one hun dred per cent and im sure i speak for many more sincerely john winter sioaffer street stonffvoie wideman kenneth wideman and ronald bridle honorary pall bearers
