your credibility As an individual is competent in assess ing where Good food establishments and what they Are capable of i have seen some of your articles in the past and i must say with respect it behoves me How the Winnipeg free press can retain a person of your calibre who does not have the finesse or class to produce constructive criticism but would dwell on degrading and belittling the various which in my Humble were above your you talk about the Interior decorating at the ramada inn and the partitions which you refer to separating the dining area like North 1 can hardly give you any credit for using criticism Meek and As critical As where in these partitions Are one of the most elaborate Ever to be placed in any dining if you refer to this Interior decorating like a dining room in North you infringe upon racial and if that is the the North africans have a lot to teach you about now when you enter into the food end of i must advise you that your Point was left but you

complimentary dinners and give you the Royal 1 suppose this is ramadas penalty on your behalf because of the Lack of your i want to inform that ramadas food reputation is Sec Ond to none and our continued Good business attests to that fact and the likes of you certainly will never Al Ter we have Learned in our highly specialized Field that you generally judge a comment from one from where it is coming and i am sorry to say that coming from you it does not impress i regret very much that As presi Dent of ramada had to bring myself to the Point of writing you a it is Well understood that you have far accelerated your credibility in judging the Many food operations in this City and your com ments Are far from constructive criticism As obviously you Are not capable of constructive i
