Spend the $3,000 After striving so long and so consclen- tlously to maintain an attractive setting for Castlegar residents, city council has done itself a disservice by planning the discontin- uation of the fall cleanup service. Although It Is difficult to fault a group of elected officials for tryIng to spare taxpayers the $2,000 to $3,000 extra they would have had to pay for the cleanup this year, It is likely council could have found more appropriate targets for thelr budget cuts than a service which affects how outsiders see our city Just as much as how we see It from the inside. f For appearances’ sake, we hope it Isn’t too late for council to amend Its budget and proceed with the cleanup.

By ALLAN FOTHERINGHAM Excerpts from a column in the Vancouver Sun.) THE MULTI-FACETED use of all the senses is some- thing that women somehow cannot understand. I know a woman who is absolutely puz- aled by the fact a man can—at the same time—watch a football game on the boob tube, have a little Dave Brubeck in the back- ground, nibble a small salami, suck on a Heineken, glance over a magazine and doa smidgin of typing on the side. Perfectly natural, it seems to me. One of the reasons, undoubtedly, why women will never rule the world. They can't dissipate their concen- tration. You've gotta be shifty. Cover all bases. Women tend to be sincere to the subject at hand. Their big weakness. IT’S A LITTLE-KNOWN fact, but the reason [ona Campagnolo will fail in her quest to be the first female prime minister of this land, is that she has no sense of humor. She's got to learn to leaven her image, sit around in an under- shirt singing Polish drinking songs and slopping beer with the girls. That's what appeals to both the unwashed and washed masses. - By-all the odds, the Tories of Britain are due to mop the docks with the rather tiresome labor people (quick! what's the prime minister's name. Caught you, eh?), But for the fact Margaret Thatcher is so dread- fully earnest. Can you see her Decision Up (From the Edmonton Jour- nal.) THE SAN FRANCISCO judge who threw out an $11- million negligence suit against NBC has taken a crucia! step in the protection of freedom of speech, A rape victim and her mother are trying to sue the television network for “negli- gence and recklessness” ‘in running Born Innocent, a movie which showed the rape of a young girl. Four days after the show was aired, Olivia Niemi, then nine years old, was raped in a similar fashion by three girls. Her mother contends the attack was prompted by the movie. Judge Robert Dossee ruled that NBC .was protected by constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and ‘dis- Which is Worse? Fat Gloaters Or Sour Grapes? A British sportswriter says Canadians are gloating over Commonwealth games success while 51 per cent of our popula- tion remains overweight. It’s hard to decide which is worse: a self-congratulatory winner—or a sore loser. a —Calgary Herald .. Iam the answer to B.C.’s prayers ... Vander Zalm does miracles in his ministry ...

One of those cookie- cutter Col. Blimp's the Tories turn out would be a cinch, Thatcher hasn't cracked a grin since Teddy Heath fell on his sword, * THE REASON GOLDA Meir succeeded was that she was everyone's chicken-soup * mother. She was not only missed the case before it start- ed. In order to proceed, said the judge, the Niemi’'s lawyer would have to set out to prove the network was advocating or inciting a crime. The lawyer said he couldn't possibly make that charge and he plans to appeal. OBVIOUSLY IT . IS against the law ‘to incite vio- lence but the media cannot be responsible for the actions of those unbalanced people who may well be prompted to commit crimes because of some- thing they see on television. If that link is directly granted, tougher than men, she saw and indulged their weaknesses. When she kissed Sadat, it warmed the world. (Which the humorless Menachem Begin has chilled again.) Indira Gandhi is like the stunning Campagnolo: Men will endure anything in an attrac- tive woman except seriousness, Censorship Not the Answer holds Tube’s Freedom newspapers should refrain from printing stories about crime, television newscasts should ig- nore coverage of wars and other violent. news events, movies should be pared to the bone and public libraries will have to remove all books which contain references to violent acts. It may be argued that television is = -special case because it invades the home, but no one is required to have a TV or match it and every set comes with an off-button, Certainly television vio- lence is a legitimate area of concern and worry—the aver- IF YOU READ THE litany of the liberation move- ment {and I do every night before going to bed since I have to detect where I'm going to he knifed at lunch the next day) you will learn that the female races present serious demeanor is a result of cultural develop- ment. The reason they do not age teenager will watch 18,000 murders on TV by the time he is an adult. Psychologists differ over how television violence actually affects viewers and some studies even indicate it may make children less aggres- sive.
