Home My WebLink AboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1951-01-25, Page 6Page 6 THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1951 The Reader Comments Kirkton Girls No Ulterior Motive In Petition, Supports Hospital, Writer Says Jan. 24, 1951 The published opinions of D.T.S. in last week’s Times- Advocate with respect to the circulation of the petition to pre serve Riverview Park as a Pub lic Recreation Area voices the questions of many other people. The writer of this letter has had close contact with all phases this discussion and desires answer some of the points volved. There is no ulterior motive in the circulation of the petition. The text says only that the sign ers believe: that Exeter needs Riverview Park both now and in the future; that they want the Park maintained as an attractive public recreational area; and that they want the proposed site of the South Huron Hospital re considered. These requests and aims are genuine and sincere. They have no bearing on whether or not the hospital should be built, but only whether it should be built in the park. The circulation of the petition comes at this time because of the gathering strength of public opinion. Many people have con tacted the writer during the pre ceding months voicing their dis approval of the sacrificing of Riverview Park. They have spok en of others who felt the same way. Gradually it became obvious that there was a considerable difference of opinion on the question. Such a difference, that it became a public duty to ac curately access the strength of the feeling. It was not fair to the Hospital Board to have a serious division of the commun ity on such a basic thing as a choice of a site; neither was it fair to the town people who will support the hospital. The situa tion was getting bad and it be came increasingly apparent f" the only thing to do was to open the question and clear air, so that the town would press itself and in the end unanimous in its decision. It is the writer’s opinion that ulti- of to in that re- the ex- l be mately the best interests of each faction will >be served, and also that the petition action came when it did solely because of the slowness of people to realize just what was involved in giving up Riverview Park. The petitioners realise a wider responsibility than D.T.S. sug gests. They sign their names in dicating that they are aware of the need of this community, or of any othei* community, for pub lic recreational area, They shoul der the responsibility of calling this need to public attention in the feeling that Exeter needs both a hospital separate sites; expense of the sponsibility to in this regard sumed. They feel that they can forsee the day when action taken now, because of financial exped iency, will be considered a griev ous, lasting error. The responsibility for expense bears equally on the community as a whole. What expense is saved in using the park will be expended again in developing an other park. Regardless of which enterprise is they will both ported within a of us. There is now and an interest in, both the Hos pital and the Park which is new, and as a direct result of circulat ing the petition. This awakening can be beneficial to both, and of lasting value to Exeter as it starts off as a town. From the interviews the writer has had, he can assure the town that the people definitely want their hos pital and that hundreds of them also want their park. Sincerely, Ted Buswell. and a park, on not one at the other.
