“Poverty is not a game

Dear Sir: .

1 would like to-comment on Claudette Sandecki’s col- umn ‘Poverty No Game’’, Oct. 17, .

No doubt you are: comfor-

table with the choices you ©

have made for your life but it

seems you would do well to °

“squandor” $15 to gain-a lit-’

tle education on: the’ lives: of a ,

others,

It is all too easy to. lame. . especially in-., dividual women for sociely’s.

individuals, -

’ probiems,

For ¢xample,.a woman is being ‘physically or psychologically’ assaulted in

~ her relationship,. can you . honestly dismiss her and her - children on the charge that,

she is simply. ‘paying the

“penalty for an unfortunate 7 choice"?

And if she leaves “that rela- tionship to find that she can- not be re-educated to find a decent paying job, is she to be blamed for the low prioti-

- ty that'the government places

on such programs?

And if she is being paid 40 per cent less than a man for work of equal value, is she to be blamed_for ‘the. unfor- tunaté ‘choice. she. made to come into: “this: world as 8 woman?* _. wos

And if she becomes preg. a

nant atid the father refuses to contribute financially to the

care. of his child, is she.to’ - blamed. for’ her biological =

capacity to reproduce?

I think it is time to stop —_

judging poor people. “The

“Poverty Game’’ is a simple — educational: tool, well“used.: by the “helping professions’ |.“

to further. their. understan- ding of what. it means to be.

poor. Ignorance, fear ‘and.

judgement’ will only

perpetuate negative cycles, . . So, go ahead, takethe time .. té learn“ compassion’ and | ’ understanding, ‘then we can look for-solutions: together. a

Dear Sir:

In the month of Auguit I wrote two letters to the mayor, One of the letters was in regards to a dangerous situation on the railroad over pass.

During the month of September, I wrote letters to

the mayor and to each of the ~ aldermen. This’ letter dealt with what I perceive to be an

_ unfair hiring practice of the City of Terrace. © -

_My reason for this letter is

. to make the taxpayers aware _ of the type of people we have

on council, |

I wish to point out that in each case, not one member of couricil had the decency to respond to my letters in any way. ;

questions city.

I would like to stiggest that

the voters give these people .

on council a clear message, and that message should be — ‘The role of those gover- ning is to accord to the wishes of those governed.” On election day we, the

taxpayer, must exercise our | option. t

Media conspiracy seen

Dear Sir:

' The media keeps harassing -

. premier Bill Vander Zalm. Day after day they are on his heels, trying to find fault with him. Nothing but-dirty NDF tactics! According to this gang the premier is not supposed to have a joint account in the

bank with his wife (like most married couples have) or hold a mortgage on Fantasy Gardens,

It represents a potential

conflict of interest, they say. one thing is not.

Well, potential, It is a fact and it happens without interruption in The Vancouver Sun and

The Province and on BCTY. The media sharks are masters of insinuation. and falsehood, Is the CRTC not able to control them? Stop conspiracy and brain- washing of the public!
