To the Editor, - Several Terrace residents have received an unexpected. notice from the District of Terrace office last week, These - precisely stated letters informed the recipients’ that flowers - _ they have planted and the fences they have constructed | " around the plots of their deceased loved onea in the Terrace cemetery grounds must be removed by the May 15. If they fail to do so, the district offica will take the liberty of removing these for them because thisisthelaw. . In establishing such laws, the mayor and council must ba” commended. for their aspirations of such neatness and fidiness in Terrace. Yes, it will be more convenient to seed - - grass over the entire cemetery area, And. bow much simpler it will be for the tractor lawnmower to cut the grass without awkwardly manocetivering between patches of flowers and shrubs, Not.to mention the fact that the cows, . " goats and horses that invariably firid their way to this ° choice grazing area, will not hive to stumble over any. fences on their way to feeding. Yes, the mayor and council. . should be congratulated, for what: do the dead care tor But the anniversary celebration will be dampened by a” string of NDP setbacks during the last year. Lo In Saskatchewan, the NDP government was buried under a stunning Progressive Conservative avalanche, leaving ‘ Manitoba with the only New Democratic government in the country. The New Democrats ‘were confident they could tura the tide in B.C. but voters rejected them for the third straight - - time last week, rubbing it in by increasing the majority of the Social Credit government. Federally, the NDP hit an all-time Gallup poll high of 24. percent in Februsry, 1962, then started to slide, Support for the party fell to 17 per cent this March before recovering - slightly last month to " per cent. ” Gerry Caplan, the party's federal secreiary, says that slump must be! put in perspective. The 26-per-cent rating was “a happy aberration!’ while 19 per'cent is closer to the NDP's traditional rating. ‘Infact, the party elected iis largest ever caucus —s2 MPs. "with a 20-per-cent share of ¢ ¢ vote fin the 1980. election. “The NDP constitution requires party: leader) Ed. _ Broadbent to run agan for. the leadrship at the Regina flowers? _ But what of the living? What about the wives, mothers, - husbands, sons and daughters whiose only tangible link with. ‘ someone they have spent years loving and still love is a flower?:To-tend. a grave is a true task of love because sometimes it would have been easier, more cotivenient to. forget.

So let them, on May 16, pluck out each stem with relish. - "But personally I find it regrettable and very, ‘very Bad, ~ Especially since-no one is asking the district. to hire “caretakers to weed the plots or paint the fences, the people ‘who have planted flowers take the responsibility of tending plots upon themselves, No ore is asking the district to go to . the extent of turning the cemetery into a floral paradise, but —. ‘one does wonder if ite necessary for the Terrace cemetery lo exist as an éyesore.
