Dear Editor:

Since moving to the North
Shore several months ago, |
aa have noted, at first with
pt surprise and then with in-
creasing irritation, your
feature ‘Sunshine Girl." My
surprise stems from the fact
that the progress made in re-
cent years toward
L . eliminating portrayal of
Ma women as sex objects in the

media has apparently not

reached the North Shore,
and irritation at the
tastelessness of these pic-
tures.

There she is, in a recent
Friday’s issue, with bulging
curves fully displayed in a
cheesecake pose, in among
the ads for ‘‘Nothing Beatza
Eatza Pizza,” ‘‘... try Ben-
tax for fast, ‘fast, fast
relief,’ and non-stop flights
to Calgary. You only have to
add her phone number and

dating, or other, kind of
service. For persons who en-
joy this kind of
photography, ‘there are an

It just seems so utterly out
of place in a family newspa-
per.

Girls of my younger
daughter’s pre-teen age are
by now aware of the type of
magazine, kept in inaccessi-
ble places in the convenience
store, which cater to this
kind of taste. In bringing up
my daughters | have tried to
inculcate in them the belief

that women are ultimately
judged by their competence
and persona! qualities more
than their physical attrac-
tiveness. In presenting a
continuing series of pictures
showing women as sexual
playthings, it appears that
you are not in agreement
with this principle. You can
stop leaving your paper on
mv doorstep anytime.
