Debbie Kennedy Yes. A lot of people enjoy

something that should be preserved and developed.

Margaret Hamhuis No, | think that it’s ade-

supporting this project could work to raise funds to create

Go for it! 1 think that’s a great idea — there’s worse things to spend tax dollars on. The Farmers’ Market is’ part of the local culture and a nice place to go on Saturday mornings.

Would we speak up if a friend fed her six-month-old baby formula’ mixed half-and-half with whiskey or served her two-

_ Then why do we buy an alco- holic drink for a pregnant friend

oS “friend ‘and her: party? Why do a _- husbands encourage their preg co “nant wives to drink? .

- The baby in the womb ‘has no

-~ gay in whether or not it wants to -- share one drink, two, or become stoned. Yet the fetus must share ' whatever the mother drinks. The

difference-is, the mother can recover from her hangover in 24 hours and be little the worse for it; the baby stands a good chance of being born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, a from which it will suffer for a. lifetime.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome gen-

erally shows as a mild mental handicap, low birth weight, and

a typical ‘‘look’’ as identifiable

as Down’s Syndrome. . Besides the guilt that will haunt the parents and the mental

| limitations the child may battle ‘ throughout its life, taxpayers

will have to fork out extra

dollars for special education to

deal with the child’s handicap. The Terrace school district
