Georgetown Herald A Division of Horn Newspabars Company llmllad Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WALTER C THURSDAY MAY 1971 OPINIONS OF OTHERS Let them Swerve Help Wanted columns these- days reveal that even in office work many employers are looking for someone who is aggressive Students seeking sum mer Jobs may be misled by this em phasis on aggression The world al ready has more aggression than it needs ft would welcome a little more service for a change Too often in de partment stores you either serve your self or are ignored while clerks busily discuss personal affairs Is fare to find a dark really interested in giving the customers service The same atti tude prevails In many offices Few seem willing to serve any more as if serve and were synonymous Jobseeking students can make up for lack of experience by being very willing to serve and thus make a wel come addition to our workaday world it may be that menial work is avail able regardless of the applicants edu cational qualifications Work such as sweeping floors cut ting lawns delivering groceries or put ting out the garbage of some business concern may seem a waste of ones tal ents But floors need to be swept and garbage needs to be put out and this is part of the worlds work There is sat isfaction fulfilling a useful to a satisfaction those who ex ploit society aggressively never know The greatest

and opium have strange effects on people Theyre expensive and selfgratifying so that an opium addict for example needs food water or sleep all he needs is opium They have another strange effect too will turn a drug libera a savage reactionary as fast as the mention of these killers the hard drugs There have been rare instances in Brampton of morphine showing up in police reports of arrests but so far to our knowledge heroin is en unknown quantity on the local drug market A year ago when New York police were discovering 10 and 11yearold heroin addicts all over the place there was a prediction to the effect that heroin would make it to the urbanized centres by summer 1971 Well Ifs almost summer 1971 and no sigrl of heroin on hori zon somebody better be preying bard that ifs been delayed at customs be cause youd better bet that and when it gets here well know it Compared to heroin marijuana and hashish ere like cough syrup Heroin is a born killer Morphine gets by as a pain killer In hospitals but there Is no earthly use for drug as powerful as heroin The ROMP and local police depart ments are as aware of the horrors as anyone can be theyve been on the alert since last year when the epidemic of hard drug use was being spread across United States But judging from predictable re actions it wont do anybody a lot of good without some help from the out side An Interesting example of this was evident In a case of drug trafficking hoard in court here recently Judge John dismissed a charge of traffic king with following A 15yearold gfrl has Just stated she picked up some hashish in a school lunch room You can pick up these kids and they cover up The police get a statement from them end there Is not much more they cart do Id like to to the kids here in this court that the police are power less in things like this Theres so little they and the courts can do Its up to you kids We cant protect you against things like drugs up to you Will Judge have to
