ON ALL STOCK DRAPERY FABRICS We can often gain great insight into our relationships if we really listen to our young children talking to Teddy or playing “Mommy and Daddy" or our older child's (especially our teenagers) “you don‘t talk with me, you talk at me.

Family life lays the foundation for how we feel as a person and how As mothers and fathers we should each take a long, close look at our parenting and at our- selves.

NOTE â€" Parent (‘oncern's volunteer leader and group members use first names only to encourage free discussion. Joyce, l was pleased to see your editorial (January 3) noting from statistical reports the achievements of our York Regional Police Force. We shoU/d be proud of our police It is encouraging to see the press commenting favorably on our police force at a time when public servants in all levels of government seem to be receiving an excess of criticism. much of it unjust and un- founded. It should be evident to all of us in York Region that our police force is as great as one would find anywhere. and we should not need statistical comparisons with other police forces to convince ourselves. This greatness is being demonstrated to us constantly in its purposes, its courage, its moral responsibility. and in the tenor and results of its daily operations As the caption of your editorial indicated “York Regional police should be proud of achievements”, I would add that residents of York Region should be proud of their York Region police. Lorne Greenwood 43 Wild (‘herry Lane Thornhill I take exception to Dawn Osmond's letter last week that Lou Wainwright wouldn‘t have got the votes he did for regional councillor if Afternoon meets would hamper his attendance As a resident of Ward 3, I would like to voice my objection to the outcome; of the past two council meetings and would urge the residents of this town to sit up and take notice of what is hap- pening before it is too late. Ward 3 residents, do you realize that if Mr. Wainwright's motion remains, your councillor. John Birchall, will only be able_ to atend half of the council meetings in the next two years? Mr. Birchall has done an outstanding job for Ward 3 and Richmond Hill over the past four years and has had a perfect attendance record at both council and all committee meetings. However, as a coun- cillor's salary is in- sufficient to live on, he and other members of (‘ouncil must work at other jobs during the day and are therefore unable to attend afternoon meetings. - Dawn should see the light, cduncil candidate advises people knew he wanted afternoon council meetings. And I also take ex- ception to the fact that I question the motfves of Wainwright, Rowe, Corcoran, Barrow and Amos in supporting this move, particularly the latter two. The majority of the citizens in Richmond Hill are unable to attend an afternoon meeting. They campaigned on a platform of open, responsible government.
