Why do a _- husbands encourage their preg co “nant wives to drink? . - The baby in the womb ‘has no -~ gay in whether or not it wants to -- share one drink, two, or become stoned. Yet the fetus must share ' whatever the mother drinks. The difference-is, the mother can recover from her hangover in 24 hours and be little the worse for it; the baby stands a good chance of being born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, a from which it will suffer for a. lifetime. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome gen- erally shows as a mild mental handicap, low birth weight, and a typical ‘‘look’’ as identifiable as Down’s Syndrome. . Besides the guilt that will haunt the parents and the mental | limitations the child may battle ‘ throughout its life, taxpayers will have to fork out extra dollars for special education to deal with the child’s handicap. The Terrace school district Thanks Letter To the Editor; On behalf of the Terrace Lit- -tle Theatre, the Terrace Com- munity Band and Theatre Alive — thank you for your support and co-operation. Your con- Betsy’ production made this the successful community effort it . a condition » takes in an area of B.C. where the high incidence of alcohol abuse means we could have sixty times the average rate of babies ‘born. with Fetal Alcohol Syn- drome. Our school taxes next year will reflect this. We'll all pay dearly for the ‘alcohol consumed by - pregnant mothers. Mrs. Claudette Sandecki ae Terrace. Atime for reflection _Letter To the Editor; During this most sacred of all. months of the year, it would do: well for all of us to stop-and . reflect on what it is that we, as. British Columbians, ‘can be - thankful for. With the advent of instant . communications, we are con- stantly reminded by television newscasts of those less fortunate in many corners of our globe. Repression, tyranny, war, hunger — most of these atroci-~ ties taking place because of someone’s quest for power, or by some because of the threat to their freedoms, — Democracy, which we. have grown to take for granted, i ‘very fragile and Sulnerable. _ There is.a fine line between that which we enjoy and the horrors experienced . elsewhere~ in’ this world, Let us not become so complacent as to believe that the freedoms we experience in British Columbja will stay per- manently in place with no help © from us, The right to choose those who make the decisions for us, or rather those whom we elect to. represent our ideas and ideals, -is also sacred. We must never 1d ¢ _ allow these representatives of tribution to the ‘‘Heavens to = the people to take their — our — responsibilities lightly.
