Dear Editor:

Re: Barbara McCreadie’s Feb. 3 article ‘‘Travelling with tots can be trying.”

Although [ usually enjoy Ms McCreadie’s column I must take exception to her stance that ‘‘In- fants and toddlers don’t enjoy travel. It does no permanent damage to their egos to be left

Thanks to motorist

Dear Editor:

On a very snowy Friday, March 1, at 3:40 p.m. I was driving home when I lost controi of my brown Datsun and ended up stuck in the meridian along the Mt. Seymour Parkway.

Otherwise, we shall be bom- barded indefinitely by this sinarmy little lady who apparently delights in titilation.

I would be happy to share ideas regarding travelling with young children with Ms McCreadie. I think her close-minded stance is a great disservice io those of us who want to enjoy life with our
