Yo'u adMe ByRUTHCOLES F >MM If you want to understand demfocracy, spend less time in the library with Plato and more time in the buses wlth people. -Simeon Srunsky We have been subjected to talk and written words ,about our guests. w ho bave been here from ail over the world to attend the World Bank and Internation- al Monetary Fund annual conference. A host country, a bost city and wefluff it wben it cornes to graciousniess, and courtesy. Ail those mindless words about our guests being able to drink until 3 a.m. Our country has strict drinking laws, which may please many people and upset others but when it cornes to entertaiming on such a large scale. some of our puritan ideas need to be cbanged. In many other parts of the world people drink for different reasons. "Drink" as such has been a part of living, wine witb meals, a drink or cocktail before meals and s0 on. Are we going to entertain thous-_ ands of people and dictate to tbem when tbey can drink? These are flot the kind of people who are quite uncivilized and who would drink in tbe streets and in general turn our city into a concrete jungle. People are annoyed and demand the same rigbts and ugly words are hea rd across the city. I'm sure if our guests were aware of this tbey would wonder at our boorisbness. and rudeness. 0f course, we can say people are within their rights'to make. these demands but is this the time to be crass? Hardly. I read so metbing about our guests being cbeap spenders. In the future let's give some thougbt to wbat is written wben'these same people are in our city. What they spend or do flot spend is none of our business ýeven tbough one expects and bopes the millions wiIl flow as generaily happens under these circumstances. Most of us feel prices are higbly in- flated and apparently this view was held by other people in the world.. Even though many people "can afford", these goods they refrain from buying because of principle. Surely, we don't have to demean ourselves and our- governments at a time like this. Al 0f us com- plain about higb government spending and--it is a valid complaint, especially when it is our money but there are other areas where we can zero in. The vocal minority are generaily beard, loud and clear' because this is what many people want to bear; 1"good news is no news."y And as for cultural things and such let us take care when we critîcize monies being spent in tbis manner. I think it bas been a long, bard figbt to get to where we are now. This has been a priority in other parts of the world but it bas not always been so here. >There is a limit, of course, butTIwould ratber bave money spent in tbis way than on green garbage bags. Wben somneone can say they neyerý use them to the full because-'tbey are "free you know". Only to some segments of society tbougb. If ail but the most necessary freebies were cut.off our economics migbt turn around and tbe money saved'could belp do wonders.. To a more pleasant topic rigbt in our rnidst. Our information centre in the library is provinàg to be a wonderful service. The Wbitby Public Library bas, really come into its own since its beginnings and, people from aIl over are using tbis information cen- tre. Last eveninig, the Whitby Pbotograpby Çlub put on a special sbow witb slides of our town and it was very well done and enjoyed by ail. It was held in and sponnsred y tbe W1h Ifhby Arts Station Galery.
