To the editor,
Thank you for being
unbiased and for print-
ing my letters. .
However, in my hum-
ble estimation, it appears
to me that you are some-
what taking the ‘‘flavor”
out of my ‘‘nasty” fac-
tual letters to the editor.
Letters should be of

good taste. according to ©

regulations. But editors
should not take all taste
out of it either. A little
bit of salt is good for a
person.

If “cookie monsters”
are words tolerated by
law and accepted by the
esteemed public, why not
the words ‘‘greedy mon-
ey monsters’’? For that

To the editor,

The arguments for a
commercialized Sunday
are simple: convenience
for the consumer, cap-
turing new markets for
certain business in-
terests. The negative
aspects are more com-
plex. What do we lose?

To the editor,

On behalf of the Ter-
race and _ District
Jaycees, I would like to
take this opportunity to
extend our sincere

thanks to local business-
men in the past Miss Ter-

This includes both un-

Greediness is the root

This applies both to the
political left and the
political right. Capital-

are the samie.

~In-my humble estima-

that the big guys (for-

should keep: their big
stores closed on Sun-
days. I do not believe
they need this exira day

there is no excuse for ex-

Sunday is a day, where
traditionally, business
interests were put aside

and the values of family .

moted. I do not believe
the values of a long
tradition should be
undermined without
serious contemplation. It

which business values
take precedent over
other societal values.
Our society has been
weakened enough by the
destruction of social

Degrading the value of
Sunday to commercial
interests is one more step
in that wrong direction.

Fire report

Fire Chief Clifford
Best said that chimney
fires have been a prob-
lem lately due to mild
weather. He said that use
of woodstoves at low
combustion tempera-
tures results in faster
creosote buildup inside
chimneys. Best advised
woodstove users that fre-
quent cleaning of
chimneys is necessary
under these circum-
stances, and he added
that, in addition to the
fire hazard chimneys are
often condemned after a
chimney fire due to the
fact that they tend to
crack because of high
temperatures.

Terrace firefighters
had to attend another

handicraft skills. She
was thrilled to leave with
her own silhouette por-
trait, wool doll, and bak-
ing powder biscuits that
she had made. Those
were just a few of the ac-
tivities available.

Many hours of volun-
teer work must have

gratulations to the

you for sponsoring an

Meeting was a success

To the editor,

I wish to thank the
Terrace Review for the
publicity given through
the medium of their
paper for the recent Ar-
thritis meeting held here
in Terrace.

I would also like to
thank the News Adver-
tiser, The Northern Sen-
tinel, CFTK Radio and
TV for their publicity.

Thanks also to the

many businesses in Ter-
race and district for dis-
playing our posters.

All this publicity con-
tributed greatly to the
success of the meeting, at
which, because of the
good turnout, we were
able to form a_ local

Society. An executive
was elected and two dele-
gates to the Arthritis
convention being held in

Vancouver in mid March
were chosen.

We would welcome
anyone with Arthritis, or

gether to benefit the

The cancerette

When will they trample underfoot,
These shimmering packages of soot
Spreading their foulness in the air
Where all of us are forced to share,

And them that are so all defiled,

To smoke around a little child,

No end the schemes of toil and sweat,
To smoke a murky cancerette,

‘ Then plod ahead ye do, do, bird,

Don’t tell the word that you’ve not heard, |
About our kinds most terrible ills,
Brought about by selfish thrills,

To those whose love, is the spread of pain
Ignoring all evidence, again and again,
Yours has not been diagnosed yet,

Enjoy another cancerette,
