Terrace without a home. . “Even in other towns, and. cities - I. see hundreds of cats homeless, If people would like to ‘have cats, why. don't they look after them. For, ‘example there’s one place in ‘town. where the cats are almost wild. They are sick looking, scruffy and haven't had a decent meal. If people cared about cats as I - do. they would Anow what I’m feeling inside and think about his problem. If I could have my " way I'd probably open up a shelter just for cats. - With my three kittens, I’ve trained them to do different things, things that people pro- bably haven’t given thught about or took time to do with their cats, Cats are highly Intelligent animals. They can dance, they © understand what your are feel- ing, and they have feelings like a human does. Those are my feelings and others to, feel the same'way Ido - about those fluffy, little cats. So, if you see a cat or a kitten on the street just don't look away, do somesing to help!

USINESS REVIE Dear Sir: The Skeena Board of Health’s recommendations that condom dispensing machines, to prevent the spread of AIDS, be installed ‘in secondary schools is both an affront to ‘raditional community standards of morality and a seriously flawed misreading of scien- tific facts, In this area, as in thé rest of the world, Christians, Jews, Moslems, Sikhs, Bahais, Buddhists and Hin- dus all teach the practice of chastity before and faithfulness within marriage. = Even among those who do not subscribe to a specific religious belief, it has always been acknowledged that sex- ual promiscuity has the effect of destroying the social fabric of society. + Parents,. educators, - and i ‘ elected officials must set ‘standards of behavior by tules and regulations but ‘most of all by the example of our actions. We cannot give Students the message that we expect them to refrain from illegal, immoral hazardous practices while offering the students the means by which 4 to engage in those practices. For example, though we from A5 identical to a stream closed to all fishing each and every year. This will be quite apparent to i most experienced fishermen ' from outside Canada. They will understand from your regula- tions, that you have little con- : cern whether the fish is killed or released, only that you receive the daily fee. i ‘In January I moved to Ter- race to be in the midst of the . best trout fishing in British Col- umbia and to write of my ex- periences, _ it I had planned to write very " specialized articles about dryfly fishing in the inland trout culture.

Itis also Hkely that you will know some students are already using street drugs, alcohol and tobacco it would be totally contrary to com- munity standards for us to go into the business of selling them whiskey, beer, cigaret- tes, and cocaine. Concerning Substance abuse, the best answer is abstinence, Especially in regards to cigarette smoking, our governments have devoted considerable effort and Money to get across the message: ‘“‘Change your behavior — quit smoking’, As in the present’ con- Sexual promiscuity destroys the social fabric of society. troversy, the movement to eliminate: smoking .has been. in direct ‘opposition to very ‘ considerable. peer . pressure and advertising especially some years ago when non- smokers were labelled as either ‘health nuts’? ‘or *‘religious fanatics”. AIDS statistics from many sources give us the ‘same message — the message that we should pass on to students’ — “Condoms may tem- as there are a multitude of reasons to keep it from you, I shall continue to speak out among the thousands of fellow fishermen, trying to adopt a more sensible approach to this problem, 1 would welcome an answer to this letter and would also welcome the opportunity to trout fish with you.

Statistically, the annual pregnancy rate for women ._ Whose male partners use con- doms has been established by Remember that pregnancy can only occur two to three days out of the month, while the AIDS virus can be passed on at any time. In the prestigious New England’ Journal of Medicine, [Vol. 316, No, 2i) a study cites an AIDS vinus rate for monogamous heterosexual -° . couples as at the 1 in 6.
