Seclion Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, November 13,1991 3 by John E. James Irt One Small Town LETTERS TO THE EDITOR J "Halt Or I'll Shoot MyselP' If ye be one of those poor unfortunate sods who wonder what the world's coming to, this column may strike a resonant resonant chord or two. Everywhere you turn, something or somebody is ripping apart the fabric which made Canada such a wonderful wonderful place. Metaphorically speaking, Turban-topped Mountics appear appear to be merely the tip of an enormous enforcement iceberg. First we saw Bob Rac's appointee blow away the police police oath of allegiance to the Queen. Then various ethnic minorities began demanding enquiries every lime one of their own got shot, or handled roughly by the police. The press barely mentions that these individuals were breaking the law, but devotes vast amount of attention to HERMAN' "I hear you're looking for someone who can work without supervision."

Best not dwell on the question of whether, a last line of defense comprised of such sensitive souls could repel repel invaders from Canada's fair shores, or even handle another confrontation with the Ten Little Indians down in Oka. Ontario's insane "Full Funding" legislation has finally finally produced a law suit. About bloody time. Basing the argument oh the Charter of Rights, another religious group is finally saying: saying: "Hey, if Catholic religious religious education is being funded funded at the high school level, you should pick up our costs too." Heck of an argument, huh? Arguments about fiscal re- ality aren't fashionable these days; : - Can somebody explain the logic behind NDP's drive to instill 'fairness' in Ontario's labour laws? Terrific timing. With the entire economy going going down the toilet, why make hard times for the business business community? Precisely what isn't needed needed at this juncture is a "Get Lost" signal to industry and investors. The NDP better understand understand something fast. They are scaring business away. Nobody is gong to stand up and say "Please stop, or we're outta here." They'll be gone before anyone knows they're leaving. So would you. In our opinion, it's a sorry state of affairs when the best- looking replacement for Mul- roney is Joe Clark. Yet it appears appears half the national media writers in the country consider consider Clark's Ascension lo the throne a done thing.' • ' Are these people brain dead? You needn't look far for hints of the chaos such a step might cause. Based on the way Joe's brand new National National Unity Committee has tripped over its feet in the first month of existence, his semi-endcaring personal traits haven't undergone magical magical transformation. On the subject of "Howzit Going .

It claimed: "63% of Canadians prefer this new multi-cultural society, and sec no need to lower current immigration levels (250,000 per year)." Understand something about polls, and statistical data. Stats arc accurate only when the dam samples arc large enough. Big cities arc the only places in Canada where adequate data bases arc available.

The problem is that some people in our school are littering and being a nuisance to the businesses. We are trying to get the Mayor, Council members and Rotary Club to help us get picnic tables and trash cans in the empty lot next door to our school. We are concerned students. We want to see changes. Support from the Rotaiy Club and Town Council is what we need. Are they willing to help? Sincerely, Dan Archer Dear Sir; As a student of Bowmanville Senior Public School, I've been asked to talk to you about the downtown problems at noon hours. We've had assemblies at our school to talk about students hanging around uptown, littering, loitering and causing trouble. So, we are writing to the Rotary Club, Town Council and the Mayor asking for park benches and garbage' cans at the old arena site. Their support in our venture is awaited eagerly. We want the citizens of- Bowmanville to know that we do care and we are trying; to find a suitable way to solve this problem.
