groan of pure rJeisure as we pulled last night and the came running to greet us flinging on her back and rolling her bell ecstatically Thais the cat not m every summer when sensible people are fleeing like lemmings from The Cit the rr n for the concrete that same City madness Smiley Ihev dont look like wolves so you donl know whats happening lo until joure hamstrung The look like cabdrivers and waiters and bartenders Bui one cant blame the wolves can one That what are for to weed out the cripples Well I can tell that if you are not crippled at least financially after a few days been staying with relatives Theres no intelligence let alone common sense in it We cant afford it We donl even like it But we go Dont ask me for a logical explanation II would be like asking a caribou wh he runs back and forth with wolves snapping at his heels And the wolves are there In The City Just waiting or us lnTortunatel And what the heck its only three dollars each to sec a movie And what the shoot room sen ice charges only SO for a pot of coffee and a meagre Tor a sandwich And spread it around a little And then theres the swimming The big hotels have a swimming pool Of course the common people swim in the pool That time we remember weve forgotten our swim suits This Is about the point where I start to pound my head thinking of the milelong stretch of clean white sand and clean blue water back home But Iherca one thing say about The City in summer Its cool Oh not out with the rabble on the They I understand sweat just like he rest of us But on the big hotels and the bars and he restaurants airconditioning has worked a miracle Or something You can almost go into some of them without on overcoat Some of the bars arc so un cool the waiters dont even have blue lips But in most of them the customers are sitting around racked with pneumonia and arthritis I know why Im complaining Nobody forced me to go to The City And if anyone tried it would like attempting to force a mule walk backward I wouldnt go there if you paid me Especially in the summer However the annual stupidity is over again and as I said its great lo be home No more of that ridiculous wasting of money on

sacred here Mitchell Sharp the Minister of External Affairs used very strong language In condemning the Viet Cong for their treatment of two Canadian members of the peace keeping team in Viet Nam who fell into their bonds Mr Sharp described the Viet Cong as uncivilized suggesting they were the next thing to savages who had just emerged from the jungles Mr Sharp was right The treatment of the two Canadian members of the peace team left much to be desired Even the fact they were kept in captivity was to be deplored We would like to know why Mr Sharp did not lodge a similar protest with the Zambian Government when soldiers of that country murdered two lovely young Canadian girls who came to Africa unarmed and with only the best of intentions Surely the fact that the two soldiers were manhandled but the two girls were murdered should make a difference in the gravity the offence We feel close to this case not only because the two girls were from this area but because we feel Marjans father Oscar Drijber is correct in pursuing his goal of bringing the murderers to justice If they are allowed to go scotfree where will Canadians be safe when they travel Surely the lives of and Christine Sinclair are just as important as the rough treatment of two soldiers who signed on knowing the risks a uniform can sometimes carry Perhaps in the sophisticated world of diplomacy the lives of two young girls are not very important as they are to us and to every Canadian who values life as something to be protected We are afraid theease has also been partly obscured political considerations which should have no part in a matter of this gravity The opposition sometimes use any device to embarrass the Government and the Government in turn considers it as such Shame on any who would stoop to such considerations Then there are those who feel it is a matter between Rhodesia and Zambia each of whom is juggling for better global relations Others contend Canada does not want to jeopardize relations between Zambia and Canada For those we would like to say that relations are already strained between the two countries and the only way they can be improved is by bringing those who killed in cold blood in front of a court of justice if for no other reason than to show every life is sacred to the people here Whether they wear a uniform or not MiniComment American observers hove pointed some cm v that under the British and Canadian forms of responsible parliamentary democracy Ihe head of a government has to submit to daily nursllonlng in House of Commons

empty feeling a feeling something is missing and so we launch out lo find llus missing link Some go to drugs some to drink some to ex some to crime but none of It brings satisfaction one is truly looking for iiod created man a vessel in whom He intended his spirit to dwell Without it man is desperately confused and anything else cannot meet the need We need to admit our need of God We need to admit our need of Jesus as our only way to heav en where God desires we would all be some day Some people in this search even try religion but it doesnt meet the need Why Because of failure to meet
