Since she replaced her electric with a natural gas dryer a year and a halt ago, she hasn't had a single problem. And because she has a husband, and three children between two months and four years old, she does at least two loads of laundry a day. Her laundry is always very fluffy, because, since gas heats up and cools off very quickly, there's less chance of overdrying. And she's also found her gas dryer actually dries, faster, See a large range of natural gas dryers made by Inglis, Simplicity and Maytag at a nearby Union Gas Appliance Centre or your local appliance dealer. There's a big selection of features, unspn choose from. appliance timing controls, cycles and colours to a natural .gas dryer is the natural choice We think you'll find, like Cindy, that centre ; for your home, The largest selection of. gas appliances in Southwestern Ontario. There's one near you, Precious Blood class debates editor's viewpoint Dear Editor, I do not agree with what you wrote in the paper. I think all females should have the right to play in a boys hockey team, Maybe if a girl is good in hockey she will be good on a girls team, However if she is good enough for a boys team why can't she play? What you wrote about "young ladies develop in a more delightful way than their male teenage cohorts and sports in- volving bodily contact are not in keeping with that development" is not true, Maybe ten years ago ladies were like that, but not anymore. Lots of girls wear more often pants and that kind of stuff rather than skirts and dresses, because the world is changing. I think that females can do what they want to do in this society. Yours truly, Judith van Oss Student of Precious Blood School Dear Editor, If girls ever got to play, that is if they were good enough, they would get creamed by every guy on the other team. They would have to have dif- ferent dressing rooms. They have their own league right now, but now they have to be in with the guys. I think that girls should NOT be able to play with boys because of all the money wasted to get things for them, like their r-- MAI NWAY-\ MIDNIGHT MADNESS FRIDAY 9 P.M. — MIDNIGHT in friendly Downtown Exeter own dressing rooms for two or three girls, I think that all the guys on the team would agree too. yours truly, Chris Van Gerwen Number 14 of the PEE WEE "A"S Dear Editor, I am sorry but I have to disagree with you in some parts in the article called "Loss Bigger Than Gain," It has its good points and bad ones. , A girl could play any sport if she, like the boys is trained to play. This all depends on her and her family. A girl, can be raised by her mother or by her brothers; her outcome would be very dif- ferent, On the other hand why would any girl want to play on a team that is all boys? There is another spot where you said a North American girl would not be able to take what the guys dish out. As I said before it depends on how she was raised, I agree that there are some girls that would not be able to take the punishment. I think that if the girl is able to play let her play in female leagues, but don't let women play in a males league. Let them have their own. Chris Westelaken Precious Blood School Dear Editor, I am writing this letter in response to your editorial on girl's hockey in last week's was exerted at the public meeting on the official plan a few weeks ago. Unsupported statements '. . . when you face bankruptcies." The meeting on Exeter's proposed Official Plan suggested land use patterns on north Main Street and the north end that seemed quite reasonable to me although these suggestions were opposed by some businessmen. Another consideration about the proposed mall is that many ,residents including myself patronize malls whether or not we shop, downtown in Exeter. Therefore if the Exeter Town council supports blockage of the proposed mall, consumers will simply shop in places in London (as very many do now). From my experience of shopping at malls (London, Stratford, .Goderich, Kincardine etc). I find that many people initially are attracted to malls then compare shop at downtown areas, Surely Exeter ,Town .C,ouncil should correspond with councils with similar situations that have occurred in Goderich or Kin- cardine for example, Town council could contact Goderich Council, operators of Suncoast Mall and the businessmen of the Goderich Town Square to obtain facts relating to the effects of the shopping mall on the outskirts of a town. The precedent set by Council according to your newspaper distresses me, It appears that council has or will try to bar a development and or per- sons only because some do not want competition, If this precedent is true, what next will council try to bar: Yours truly, Peter Aunger paper. Last year Gail Cummings in Huntsville was picked by her coach to be the goalie for their all star team, Regardless of the fact that her coach and team wanted her to be the goalie, the OlValA decided that she shoUldn't play. Now the Human Rights Commission have decided that she can play, Hurray for them! Why shouldn't she play? If she moved to Exeter there would be no opportunity to play on a girls team because there is no organized hockey for girls in Exeter. When Mr, 'Armstrong started his job at the Rec Centre he suggested girl's hockey but his suggestion was turned down, Yes, you can say there is no interest, that girls don't want to play. However, if they don't want to play it's because of their socialization. Our society (parents, schools, men, boys, editors) don't want girls to play. Girls are not en- couraged in sports as boys are, The encouragement they receive are lines like these from people like you: "The point is, young ladies develop in a more delightful way than their male teenage cohorts) and sports involving bodily contact are not in keeping with that development," or "There will be lots to see at this year's fall fair, whether you prefer four or two legged beauty," When will people like you, come to realize that women are people, not just pretty faces, and that they want to be free to participate in all facets of life beside (not above or below) men! Mary Ellen Kot, Teacher Precious Blood School Dear Editor, I'm writing this in response to your editorial in the paper on the 10th day of November. I feel that if there is no hockey team for girls in the area the girls should be allowed to play on the boys team. If there is a girls team they should stay on it, I also think that they should stay off the professional leagues, Diane Kints Dear Editor, I think the article that you have written is quite true. The girls could not take the punishment a boy can and there are barely any girls that want to play hockey anyway. If there are some girls that want to play why should they interfere with the boys league? Ron Coolman Precious Blood School Dear Editor, I think what you said is one hundred percent true. If a girl was on a boys hockey league everyone would think she was nuts. Another thing is that separate dressing rooms would be needed for mixed teams. I think if girls could organize their own teams only one dressing room would be needed. Thank you. Frank Verbeke Precious Blood Save! Dear Editor, I do not totally agree with you. I do think that girls should make their own leagues, If they did play in all the sports that men do the competition would be so great that girls would drop out of all sports. Then they would want separate leagues and would be back at the beginning all over again, If girls want to play hockey they should be allowed to. It would cost millions of dollars to make specially made women's equipment. Area Male Student Precious Blood School Dear Editor, I think some parts of yOur article are very true and are good points, However not only East Germany and Russia could work out the girls really well but Canada and other countries could too. I think that it is only fair that girls are allowed to participate in boys sports if they are as good as them. Some girls might even be able to beat them if they wanted to. Some of the boys don't even give us girls a chance. I'm not saying we have to beat them. We'd just like to be able to have a chance to be as good as them. Most men and boys wouldn't like a girl if they had muscles like weightlifting men do. They like girls to be pretty and not all muscles. Some day I hope that men and boys will understand what I have said and I hope that they will also give us a chance. We may not all do as great as the boys but if we do our best that as much as could be expected.

At the present time the Ontario Ministry of Education is working on a new guideline to improve the study of .French from Kin- dergarten to Grade 13 and this should help in achieving a better knowledge and understanding of French, and of the people who speak it throughout their life. Dear Editor: Much comment has ocdurred particularly from the core businessmen on the proposed shopping mall at the north end of Exeter. Little comment from the stand point of resident and or consumer has appeared in your newspaper except the letter by our Mayor in your November 10 issue. As a resident and consumer in Exeter since 1971, I wish to comment. I like the downtown business area because; many of the business owners and staffs are friendly, helpful and personally interested in consumers; the prices are often not too much above prices in London or Stratford in fact sometimes are lower; the core area is within walking distance of most of the town. My family has spent at least 41 $250 per month on goods from the.. core area (or about $18,000) Since 1971 and will probably continue to do so, mall or no mall In the North End. However, I oppOse the stand taken by council as a response to the lobby exerted by some of the core businessmen as reported in your November 10 issue and as it Distressed by decision
