Freedom for drunks?

ae

*eoat

Attorney General Robert Bonner has
ruled that in the area enclosed by Ter-
race, Vanderhoof and Kitimat, no drunk
shal! be apprehended by the police.

He has arbitrarily selected this section
of the province for an odd experiment.
Drunks will not be prosecuted unless
guilty of some other offence.

A vigorous protest by Terrace Muni-
cipal Council must be indicative of the
response of people in the area to this cur-
rent display of arbitrary arrogance by'the
Attorney General’s Department,

The Attorney General has through his
choice of locale, automatically and erron-
eously labelfed this area as the drunk
capital of the province.

The decision apparently was made
without ony consultation of local author-
ity or any explanation of the reasons
behind it.

Mr. Bonner may have a point to make
if he is dissatisfied with the rehabilita-
tion program for alcoholics in British Co-
lumbia. He may even have a twinge of
conscience when he compares the multi-
million dollar revenues reaped by the
Provincial Government from liquor taxes
with the pitifully inadequate sums spent
on the treatment of people whose disease
is alcohol.

We fail to see any cogent argument
in the Attorney’s General’s dictum

that drunks shall not be apprehended in
one area of British Columbia.

Perhaps Mr. Bonner fondly hopes that
if there is no record of drunks being ar-
rested, then ergo there are no drunks.

According to Canadian Press, he has
taken this surprising step because courts
and jails are cluttered with drunks. :

He feels rightly enough that a drunk
is not a true criminal.

What he overlooks is the fact that a
drunk has the potential to commit a seri-
ous crime against the public. A study of
the criminal courts where prisoners have
pleaded that they were influenced by
alcohol should provide a better sense of
perspective in viewing the situation,

A further point must also be consider-
ed. A drunk is still a member of the
public. He is a citizen. His apprehen-
sion by the police is a protection of his
person from accident on the roads, or
deliberate assault and theft, while he is
helpless.

We favor rehabilitation of alcoholics, -
through education and hospital care.
Should the government spend some of
the money it makes from peddling booze
on rehabilitation centres for its custo-
mers, we would applaud the move,

But this head-in-the- sand attitude of

“uncluttering the courts” by falling to
arrest alcoholics is unworthy of a re-
sponsible government.

Call it a success

Success is a trite word indiscriminately
tagged on to every bake sale, bun fight
and hen party where money is expected
to change hands for worthy causes.

it's a pity because we think the word
in its best and freshest sense is the one
needed to describe the Terrace celebra-
tion of Canada's birthday.

For the moment, forget the jaded con-
notations of ‘success,’

Instead, apply it to the total program
of a memorable weekend, a weekend that
sparkled because the whole community
was involved.

The big parade, the dancing in the
Streets, the contests, the beards and the
pretty girls, the barbecues and the beer
gardens, the fireworks and the ficats,
were all part of that success.

You could even give a passing nod to
the--weatherman for three great: days
with the quiet assurance that even if it
poured howling pussy cats and great

Guest_comment

horned teads from the heavens, it would
still have been a great weekend,

Too much work went into the prepara-
tion of our national birthday celebrations
here for it to have been anything but a
success, regardless of the weather,

A tip of the hat must be extended to
the centennial committee for the plan-
ning and co-ordination, but the major
ingredient of success was the co-opera-
tion and enthusiasm of all the people in
the town,

Every organization in the community
went to work for the centennial celebra-
tion. And the whole town responded to
and appreciated their work,

The people packed the streets and
patronized the event!

There may have been some-solitary
curmudgeons who retreated ta their dank
basements und muttered “humbug" dur-..
ing the festivities but from what. we saw,”
the whole town turned out to join in the
cammunity fun.

What happened to Canada?

Now that we've reached the
halfway mark in Centennial
Year, it's a good time to stop
and look around at what has
been happening to Canada as a
nation,

The most significant develo-
pment seems to be that we have
discarded our national in-
ferforlty complex, We have, in
effect, rediscovered our own
country and found it isn’t such
a dull place after all,

For many Canadians there is
a new - found pride in their land
and a renewed sense of Idently,
This has been reflected in the
enthusiasm with which hundreds
of communities and thousands of
Individuals have applled theme
selves to. centennial projects.-

Who could ever have imagined

BI

that a song called Ca-na-da would
wind up at the top of the list
of hits? How many of us really
believed that Expo 67 would
make such a tremendous im-
pression on the world and that
{t would easily outdo the big
world's falr held in New York?
A year ago did any of us act-
ually believe there would be such
an outpouring of affection for
Canada by her own people?

The men and women who work-
ed so long to make our cele
bration a success -- the centen-
nial train and caravan, the voya-
geur canoe race from Alberta
to Montreal, Expo Itself and the
many local centennial projects

‘But the fact is that the en-

thuslastic participation of the.

ordinary Canadian is the real

key. And this comes as a sur-
prise to anyone who has seen
Us a5 a reticent, retiring people
too timid to use such phrases
as “The Canadian Dream,?’

It’s true that in politicalterms:
we're still along way from unity
Quebec’s separatists may be
quiet for the moment but they
haven't abandoned their posi-
tion, Ottawa and the provinces

_ are still divided on may issues,

And many of our city govern.
ments are dissatisfied with the
treatment they receive from the
provincial capital,
. But this does not alter the
fact that we have begun to see
Canada as an interesting, lively
nation, already prosperous and
with great promise for the
future, ‘
Centennial Year*has been.a
