Reasons for charity

Charity is almost a dirty word
these days. Maybe its original
“meaning has been sullied by bigots
and boors who thought it meant
condescension or dropping a nickel

in the blind man’s hat.

Charity in our definition is in-
dentifying with our fellow human
beings, giving our surplus to help

those who need it.

This community has just seen
the completion of a campaign for
the Canadian Arthritis and: Rheu-

matism society. Next

October 10 local volunteers led by
the Lions Club will canvass for
further contributions to assist the
Canadizn National Institute for

the Blind.

Public relations is a complex art

and too often causes

benefit by it, lack the resources to
bring their yeal story to the people
whose support they need.

SAANICH, B,C, (CP) — Mun-
icipal council has imposed a top
speed of 50 miles an hour on
its high-powered, four-ton am-
bulance, despite objections from
Councillor Ed Lum,

Councillor Lum said speed re-
strictions on ambulance drivers
should be lifted,

He said the machine is equip-
ped with arecording device which

There is even a buzzer in the !

plained,

‘We are the only municipality

they mustered up without first
submitting themselves tothe very
simple and legal ceremony of
deputization.

. Had the group of citizens been
deputized by the local officer
commanding the R.C.M.P, inthat
community, they might then have
assisted law enforcement offic-
ers with all the protection ai-
forded policemen in this country,

To have taken up arms on their
own initiative, without first con-
sulting the police, placed them
not one rung higher on the ladder
than the motorcycle maniaes who
were messing up the town,

* & @

The act of deputizing is very,
very simple. .

All a police officer need do
is ask any citizen for assistance
and that citizen if he complies,
is then legally a police officer
of auxiliary category.

If a citizen refuses to help
a police officer upon request, he
is liable taprosecution under Sec-
tion 110 of Canada’s Criminal
Code. «.

The Clinton people were fright~
ened, [ll certainly grant you
that, Mr. Atrill, They reacted
as any self-respecting home own-
er would under similar circum~
stances, but they did so without
first consulting with the local
law enforcement officers,

The results: were somewhat

chaotic,
And ithe action certainly
smacked of gross irrespon-

sibility.

One young man was wounded
by a bullet during the fray, Al-
beit, the young man was a mot-
orcyclist and one of the gang
of intrudeys, this certainly, would
not detract, from the fate’ that
he was also a human belng, a
Canadian, and as such, entitlea
to the full protection of Can-
adian law,

rule,

A group of upstanding, out-
raged citizens, properly deput-
ized ( it takes practically no
time at all, and any R.C.M.P.
officer can do it) and intent
upon protecting themselves and
their property would certainly
be an asset to the police dep-
artment of any community being
victimized, Such a group would
function under police supervision
and protection,

In Clinton however, the cit-
izens let their emotions ayer-
rule common sense and respon-
sible action. 1 offer a quotation
from the Hundred Mile House
Free Press to back up the state-
ment,

“Police, with assistance now
arriving from several slations
in the Kamloops sub-division,
set up road blocks to try to stop
local citizens becoming in-
yolved,”’

“Notwithstanding the police
guard, three unknown persons
sneaked down the hillside above
the spot- where the motorcycl-
ists were camped, and surpris-.
ed two members of the gang
asleep,

Apparently the two were hit
across the face. They began run-
ning down the hill and at this

point a shot was fired which

wounded one of the motorcycl-
ists through the side. Police
said this shot was fired at 3:15

“Early. this. week (Sept. 8),
police:. were. checking a number:
of leads in an ‘effort to’ trace
the persons responsible for the
shooting, Charges of wounding
with intent to kill may possibly
be laid if anyone is apprehen-
ded,"

And the clincher came when
the Clinton police tried to find.
witnesses from among the towns-.
people to back up the various
charges.

“Clinton police reported they
were hampered by a lack of
witnesses and difficulty of iden-
tifying those specifically invol-
ved,"

* * .

So you see Mr, Atrill, it would
appear all those high minded Clin-
ton citizens, so intent up on the
protection of their own, suddenly
became very, very scarce when
faced with the responsibility of
brass tacks law and order,

Your philosophy is admirable
and I am sure that you would
assure complete legality of act-
ion if, in fact, your home and
property were in jeopardy, Even
I wauld do the same,

But in none of the reports that
I have read regarding the Clin-
ton incident is there anything
that would indicate the homes
and property of Clintonites were
threatened,

Editor, Herald:

{n response to an article ap.
pearing in your paper on Sept,
27, 1967, | wish to state that
I was surprised that you would
consider printing suchanarticle.

One cannot feel sorry for the
hippies because they have oppor-
tunities far greater than any
ganeration of the past to equip
themselves in every way to con-
tribute. to society and add to the

find them lazy, unclean, immoral,
drug users and welfare recip-
lents.

It is opinions such as were
expressed in this article that
encourage our young people ta
set up their hippy communities,
We don’t need tounderstand them

and be taken by their long shabby
hair and chastised with the stick
of responsibility,

There is nothing about a hippy
that is uplifting, Though @ few
tourists may come to see, a
greater number would shun Ter-
race. We would be known all
over alright, but not in a way
that would be commendable.

1 also wonder if the writer
of the article would be happy
to have a hippy community estab-
lished next door to her home
and have her children exposed
to dope and loose morals. Would
she enjoy the filth about her
