THLllHlAU Letters to the Editor Little Theatre apologizes for lack of seats correction To the of Herald reported jour paper of October 17 he Georgetown and District Red Cross Branch fell short of raisirK E There must ie a misunderstand some one part the ranch was SI short of he target set of JIG MO v3S rtpirted elsewhere the raised amounted to and thii the for 1579 In every other organization in Mi fan crease eiery so is necessary in 1 this area crease our campaign target We art looking Chairman lied Michael Boat People deserve help I Bo disturbing phone call this week anil I vc hat others like it before No I not about in obscene phone at least he classical although I found the views expressed by my caller obscene My caller of the opinion that we should be helping Canadians first before we help those Boot People She also maintained Boat People steal Canadian jobs The topper was when she explained to that Vietnamese like all black and yellow breed like rabbits and will soon overrun Canada Asedilor I get plenty of eranfc calls and usually deal with them by listening the caller and then suggesting they write Herald a Idler II gladly publish and even run Willi their name withheld if they wish But 1 too to simply that to his caller T had calls this before who squeal Boat People ore going to come here and somehow make heir lives a little less pleasant In fact told members of he Halton Hills People groups who have had their phone numbers printed in the local newspapers seeking assistance been subject to anonymous abusive phone calls Wont write time I have been contacted by people ranting about he Boat People the offer to print letter stating the Boat People view lias been made I even volunteered to not publish the letter writer name in fact I d run he letters without receiving any name if I could but it simply is not the pracllce of newspaper in this to do so because of the legal ramifications of running completely anonymous letter Hut despite these offers not a word against the Boat People has appeared in tin letters These same callers accuse the Herald of being one Sided on the issue yet when llu forum for them to express their views is offered hey cringe Personally I love it if these people would have he guts o heir views I think It is important these views are publicized If they exist Rather than have them simmering and festering beneath the surface I would like to see some kind of forum with people debating and possibly enlightening one another Not wanting to sound too self righteous I also that when forced loarliculale their views at least some Boat People eallcm have ice the fact where some of heir opinions come from My caller this week insisted she wasn a racist as we spoke her comments became more and more revealing Finally she admitted it buffed see somebody around weiring a turban and speaking a different language Then she their alleged breeding habits I called these opinions racist and while she certainly agree I hope at least thought about he possibility My callers comments became all the more Ironic when she told me Canada was to go down the drain jus I like England where she conies from Ail immigrants you re an Immigrant too reminded her She stumbled at litis but mentioned something about other rctl I reminded her that a over too ago this even exist and were all he sons and daughters of immigrants somewhere down he line A good man ended up here when their parents were Boat People of sorts too In fact this country has a long history of he unwanted from other It rids lo create a new multi cultural country Of course the immigrants who settled here did have one thing going for litem In the eyes of people like my callers tin black I like the Boat People group lo seriously consider what their opinion would be if the refugees now turning to Canada in despotic need were from say Australia or New Zealand I suspect they be getting much warmer welcome Canada block and yellow immigrants are obviously a very visibly minority And In a for a long time had mostly European immigration the relatively recent increase In the number of black and yellow In this country is very apparent Many of these Immigrants arrived during the same time as this country along the rest of the western world economy went on the rocks so it too easy to blame our problems on our highly visible But if people arc angry about Ihe economy they should be blaming the corporations and governments run Canada no a desperac group of refugees fighting o alive Columnist is fed up with news I have my moments when I so fed up with the garbage appears in the news and is constantly blasting away at us from the communications At least when read the news or a magazine you can act as your own editor and omit anything you really don want to look at belt TV and the radio however give only two choices listen or shut it off Stories such as the torture of children reported in the dossier by Amnesty Interna an organization that campaigns for prisoners of my three year old daughter was undressed and whipped with a leather whip and then put in a barrel of ice water till she almost drowned That statement was from the wife of Chilean trade unionist who refused tell her husbands whereabouts to the Chilean military This Is Just one of 35 cases of child torture and murder by various political groups throughout the world Mention in the Amnesty report led Children So much for the Year of the Child SHOPLIFTERS Have you seen the shop lifting ads showing three Juv boys about to steal a toy with the caption the gang Is Cute but unfortunately untrue The ma of shoplifting is done b adults and quite often the very same adults work in the stores Shoplifters arc cross section of humanity and to point the finger Just at kids is a crime In itself One lady recently told me how she could get me some thing for Clin si mas that she and everyone else was lifting from Urn plant her reasoning w why not take it and for the low wage employ It may not be right but It a common viewpoint To center out kid the Micro Is very unfair another blow for the Year of the Child Here some more garbage on marijuana Some poof mis guided soul wrote a letter to the Star telling of the joys of grTs and how my poor little marijuana plant who gives only and support has been a criminal since birth and weed Marijuana is not harmless Dr Oil chief of psch at the University of Call forma is just one of the many who advocated legalization of only five years ago and has since admitted recent findings have completely changed his mind Pot accord lo Mr William Moore of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine will cause irreversible damage if smoke regularly for three Recent findings show lung damage a weakened immun system and changes in personality nil from this harmless little plant It is most unfortunate that those who push for the legalization of mairjuana are already a few bricks short of a load and the poor misguided fools can the their muddled thinking straight which by the way is another side effect of Ins harmless little weed We have an energy problem right Right So when the local municiptlittcs cut down trees dead or other wise they ore all hauled off to local dumps to be burned Meanwhile alt the folks who arc energy conscience or oil or las short rush out to buy fire wood for their fireplaces Here a thought why not use the wood cut down each year by the parks and roads people and supply it free to local residents The answer is don be foolish We are a nation of and time It takes to figure and set an elaborate lakes lime our mosl valuable asset Just drop it off at the dump and burn it that s the way we vc handled it besides it helps to keep the economy adjusted by keep Ihe rabble broke so they have use and other mind which keep them from Ih nking and of course this keeps everything and eve rvone ejuiol and peaceful in Happy Valley Back to the Year of the Child Papers arc flooded re trim pictures of children starving in dla Here in North America we let too fal We eat too much Ironic if Why not set up a diet workshop to save a child life by sending the funds saved from culling chunky s
