Dear Editor:

Park Royal may not be simply hypo-
critical in its selective and “carefully used
information to create the impression that
this expansion would have little, if any,
impact on... citizens .

The nwo- page ad in the same issue
contains at least one of what must be
considered cither a misleading statement,
sheer ignorance, or both. It says, “The
overall goal of the new intersection is to
create happier shoppers and drivers by
givin everyone more options for reach-

ing cir destinations conveniently and
safely.” Excuse me while I pause to laugh!

The present exponential rate of
human population growth belies any

Doug Collins. from the
North Shore News must
be bittersweet for your fine

newspaper. On.one_ hand

you are without an anchor
for sales driven by your
debate for free speech. On
the other hand you are rid
of what I feel was a degen-:

erating column full of
rehashed and irrelevant:

tales of days gone-hy. He

was just getting mundane. .|.
I. believe Mr. Collins’

departure will give your

paper a fresh read and.}:

appeal to those who are

frankly tired of the “Doug: |”

Collins News” and may
anticipate the return of the
“North Shore News.”
