POLICE have recorded a wick- ed song that promotes murder en- titled Murder by Numbers.

The article goes on to say how this teenager was directly in- fluenced by Iron Maiden in the satanic murder of Arthur Irwin, his wife Joyce and daughter Kelly. Alice Cooper's song Cold Ethel - Ethel is a dead woman and he talks about having sex with a corpse. Duran Duran says "Firery demons all dance when you walk through the door." George Michael promotes pre-marital sex. Sex for Prince is salvation; / Because murder is like anything else / It's a habit-forming need for more and more / You can bump off every member of your family / And anybody else you find a bore." Groups like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Exodus and Motley Crue have influenced the death of more than one teenager in America.

Whoever can bring the customer inside their store, is the only one who will survive. hasty. These items being removed such as the racks of clothing, merchandise displays, clear- ance sales, and sandwich boards are some of a stores' best advertising gimmicks. | feel it is a little too much at once, to sudden- ly abolish everything from the sidewalks, includ- ing the flower barrels. After all, were they not part of downtown's beautification project? Maybe the solution to the barrels being a nui- sance, would simply be to relocate them. They do look nice, but why are they clumped together only on certain sections of the sidewalk? Maybe if they were placed in spots that have more room for them, (such as in front of the post of- fice), the problem could be solved. Those that admire the flowers may still do so, and those that do not, may easily walk around. | don't think that merchants should be told to remove everything. If they think that having items outside their store makes their front en- trance more attractive, or if it is bringing in cus- tomers, and revenue, it should be their choice to leave the things there. Instead of completely removing all displays, why not just give them a specified amount of space, or items in which they can have display tables or racks. Let their displays go only so far out from their front door, which in turn will leave lots of room for pedestrians to walk past. This way no one loses, and it does not ap- ar as though the merchants had no choice. edestrians can have their 'right of way', and store owners can still advertise. There must be a point to store owners having outside displays, or they would not be there. | am sure that these displays or sandwich boards were placed by the merchants for a reason, that being they bring in business. A sandwich board in front of Emiels, The Galley, or The Meeting Place, tells passers-by of their specials. This certain special may bring in a customer who otherwise may not have felt the twinge of hun- ger. Afterall, an ingresing display, or special out- side a store, brings the customer inside the store. That is what business is all about, adver- I've stated my opinion before on the inner workings of organizations at the arena in Port Perry, and after a display on Sunday, my opin- ion has not wavered. Q. Who has privileges as far as ice time at the Scugog Arena. A. the MoJacks. Once again on Sunday, it was made very clear who has the privileges. On Sunday after- noon, some broomball matches went into over- time (a part of any game), which in turn put oth- ers behind time. The final match which ended at 7 p.m. (when it should) ended in a dead heat. But the victor of the game, .and the two points could not be awarded to anyone, because of lack of time to play overtime. Overtime in broomball is five minutes, not long enough to devastate anyone, or so one would think. The decision remained though, that the over- time could not be allowed, because the MoJack game would start late. | think that all organizations that use the are- na should begin to understand that it takes more than one or two "elite" organizations to support the running of an arena, and thus no one should have more privileges than the other. Before trying to write off what | have said, and say it doesn't happen, answer this. Using an example, if the MoJacks ended their game in a dead heat, and overtime ensued, would it be cancelled, because the Men's hockey that is due to go on after their game would be pre- empted? | highly doubt it. Why? My guess is it would probably be a little tough to get the two teams back together to play the overtime period, and an awful lot hard- er to find the ice time to do it. One organization's support to an arena or town, whether it be broomball, ringette, figure skating, minor hockey, Junior C hockey, or just a group of people renting the ice, should not be taken for granted. Decision makers in situations like these should review their tactics. It takes more than one organization to keep an arena running. Whether one wants to admit it or not, one organization benefits the other, and they all benefit the arena and the town's sporting name.

Where's Canada heading To the Editor: In reply to the reader that prefers the title 'Xenophobia' I prefer "aggiornamento."" The whole thrust of my article ws my deep concern where our country is heading. As we head into a recession with thousands of peo- ple losing their jobs, plus factories moving to the United States and Mexico --- is hardly the time for increased immigration to 265,000 a year. The severe housing shortage in Metro Toronto area, where most of the immigrants head, only compounds the problem and with the shortage of supply, increases rents -- already too high. Food banks are running low of food with close to 100,000 people, many of them children using them every month. Welfare in Durham region is at an all time high! My main concern is Illegal Im- migrants! It's costing us $2 million a month to keep them. The Immigration board is overloaded Responsible for garbage To the Editor: Letters to the Editor, editorial commentaries and news related articles concerned about Dumps, all discuss disposing of our garbage. Let's admit a simple positive statement first and admit owner- ship. We each must ultimately take responsibility for dealing with our own garbage in somebodies back yard. Realizing this basic truth 5 years ago in our own home, we have changed our consumer ways drastically to create 75% less garbage. Before we stand up and boo or jeer our local politicians and pro- blem solvers; look at our own consumer-wasteful ways and really change. Wendy E. Bateman Bluehawk Lake, Ont. P.S. After 6 months of talking with 1,000 school children, I place my faith in the next generation. They are miles ahead of most mature adults. and costs have increased to $80 million a year. The original estimate for refugees was 18,000 claims a year, now up to 30,000 a year. Many of these people are coming here for economic reasons, not truly refugees. Ot- tawa gives $ billions away in foreign aid, nothing to food banks at home. Canada is known worldwide as the easiest access of all western countries. The Institute for Research on Public Policy has openly disagreed with the ap- parent intentions of Ottawa to raise the number of immigrants. In June the Commons Commit- tee recommended that the government admit fewer people. The reasoning was tied to the economic flux -- that the economy was slowing and further worsen- ing seemed inevitable. It's now of- ficial, according to Statistics Canada -- we are in a recession, with more that 150,000 laid-off manufacturing workers. (Cana- dian Press) CP also says quote "Immigrants are eating up Cana- dian real estate market." In- creased prices mean many Cana- dian families cannot find affor- dable housing. Overcrowding causes increased garbage and demands on already overloaded social services, health and welfare and transit problems. With the GST looming on the horizon and a severe economic down trend in the country it's hardly the time to bring in 265,000 more immigrants. Especially those who apply on the basis of 'kin reunification' rather than on the skills and awards points system. The kin system is unrelated to education or language ability. Toronto schools now teach 50 languages to ac- comodate immigrants plus pay- ing them to go to school to learn English. Cheaters only compound the problem for legitimate im- migrants. Many skilled European immigrants are now going to the United States and Australia, rather than wait years for entry to Canada. A Free Trade deal with Mexico will only worsen the problem.
