Peggy’s Reward... Member Since publishing the story about [2 yeor old Peggy Pete, Thornhill student who found and returned a handbag containing $300.00, the Herald has received ‘several letters and phone calls. Most of them would indicate a feeling of dis-satisfaction with the manner in which the youngster was rewarded. We can readily appreciate how seemingly in- _ adequate was the small amount of money left for the child after the handbag was © returned to its owner. However, we cannot allow our reading public to essume that this newspaper published the story for any “reason other than a desire to recognize the honesty and integrity of one of our tocal youngsters. ; It was never our intention to cast aspersions on any of the people involved in the incident and indeed, it was not our intention to place a price tag on honesty. We merely felt the little girl performed a. commendable deed at a time when com- mendable deeds are growing very scarce, The word commendable is, in our opin- ion, sufficient unto the cause. Peggy Pete did what every self-respecting, well-dis- ciplined and honorable person would have done, She found something which did not belong to her and she returned it without giving the matter a second thought. This is just as it should be, and because our phonelines are constantly clogged with Stories about young people involved in Fire Prevention Week... Fire prevention time has come around again, as next week we observe Fire Preven- tion Week. In thousands of towns and cities across the nation there will be addresses on fire prevention in schools, service clubs, and other organizations. In many communities, teachers- are taking their students to visit the local fire department station house to see the fire RERRASTARAARESRRARARAAAEAAAAERER ESAS ERATE CSE: Gack...

HALLOCK, Editor sith 2 a4 + Me ‘e ° teat much jess commendable practices, we chose to spotlight Peggy. We can sympathize with those who feel the youngster should have been given something material as payment for her integrity, for these are the kind people of our society. The people who always endec- vor to show their appreciation for consider- ations‘ received. Without such people, the world would indeed be a cruel place in which to live. But. such generosity is no substitute for sincerity or warmth, and one cannot place a price tag on these com-- modities. oo Peggy Pete will receive her reward throughout the rest of her lifetime. She will not be plagued with a guilty con-. science, , She will find all doors of employ- ment open to her when she is ready to take her place in the world as a wage earner, Her honesty will never be questioned and will prove to be an invaluable asset re- gardless of what paths the gods would have her take. She ‘has already won, through this fine showing of integrity, something which. many people waste a life- time trying to win —the trust of her fel- lowmen, . a Since when does any material thing be- shake, a sincere smile of appreciation, a gentle word of encouragement? On the day that happens we can do away with the human race and bring on the computers. apparatus ot close range, and the firemen who man the equipment. — - ; Amazingly some people will ask why we observe Fire Prevention Week every. ear. : ¥ The answer is simple, Three out of four fires are the result of carelessness. By using ordinary care, we can prevent fire from happening. And if we do that, Fire Preven- tion Week will have been worthwhile.

Theory 1a all it is, and theory is fine if it is applicable and reasonable, which in.this case it is not. | One does not have fo be a Ben Ginter to offer refuted reaction to Prender Bennett's imperious de mand. (Vancouver Sun, September 2) Any reasonably intelligent laborer, particularly here in the North, could express the identical opinion. I am confident we have all offered to the interesting ear, our views regarding the absurdity of Mr, Bennett’s anti-inflationary austerity plan. It’s almost laughable to see the government plans to continue with construction of a $6 million muse- um-archives in ‘Vancouver, We need a Centennial museum- archives right now like we need more holes in our aick-society heads. ; Recently sasisting a youngster with a home, assignment on the question, “Is Freedom Good or Bad?”, I offered the words ‘in- centive’ and ‘ihitiative’ as instru- mental in his composition. These two words are the key to freedom rights. If people were deprived of these inborn virtues, Mr. Bennett would have the province dangling | from his fingertips. These two words are, in essence, the challenge of life. They are our natural heritage, Many have fought for them and many have died for them. Not even Mr. Bennett can pull. this one offf «=~ ‘We are not an uneducated so- ciety, We are aware of the social and ‘economical affairs of| itd our country and we are a genera- tion demanding for a consumer- oriented society, not government dictated bondage.
