Drive way ’looks like hell ’ after paving, he says We would like you to please publish this letter as it could possibly prevent some honest, hard working consumers from suffering the same fate that we suffered. Re: Credit Stone Paving, 355 Boon Street. Toronto. We had our driveway paved in May of this year (1977) and paid a premium because the sales representative ensured the quality of their workmanship and would give us a one-year guarantee in writing. We had the driveway paved, paid the premium‘ got the guarantee in writing, stayed off the surface for seven days, and watered the surface each evening, as directed. In July. we noticed several minor cracks and a couple of areas that were sagging or sinking. We began to telephone Credit Stone Paving, leaving messages that went unanswered and finally wrote to them on August 15th threatening to take action. On, or about, August 25th. a representative from Credit Stone Paving came to the house, viewed the situation and said, “there‘s nothing we can do“. My wife told him that she wasn't satisfied with his statement and he said he would talk to his boss (From Page A5) I put in my senior citizen ticket, which they will sell you at any ter- minal without iden- tification of a TTC card. and the driver asked if I had my TTC card. I told him I sent away for it but as yet had not received it. He told me I had better hurry up and get it. I told him I had been a senior citizen since a year ago last April and showed him my cards. He told me I was lucky. I should have saved enough money to be able to pay regular adult fare. Is this the view the T'I‘C is taking on senior citizens? Why‘? Mrs. Kathleen R.

This is palpany unfair. Now when any perâ€" former treads the boards, they become fair game for objective criticism. Indeed some papers dilute their editorial milk by unfailingly cheerful reviews, regardless of performances. There’s one critic in particular I feel sure would give rave notices to an outbreak of bubonic plague. But the play should be regarded as a sacred trust by a reviewer â€" not as an opportunity to display semantic vir- tuosity at someone elses expense. The play by the way is still on so your readers can judge for themselves. TOM DAVEY, Oak Ridges 1977 19,15 1977 ‘ 1977 1 977 ‘D.

The tone depended on the thickness of the slice removed. A simplier whistle was a blade of grass held between the outer edges of the thumbs.
