Invites Opinions on Situation

Dear Sir:

I have read with interest
Alderman Freno’e -:marks in
support of the parxing meters
in Nelson, and I for one, (not
being a resident of your fair
city), cannot say that I agree
with his views on the matter,
Alderman Freno would perhaps
have a different opinion if he
was on the paying end and not
where he presently-is—on the
receiving end anda beneficiary!

‘The City of Nelson would
soon die if it did not get the
business support: from the
people in outlying areas, out-
side the city Hmits. Further
more, the city should recognize
that fact and quit biting the
hand that feeds it.

«Mr. Freno forgets that
people in outlying areas have
familles to support, children to
raise and edueate, taxes to pay
and other numerous expenses
of their own. These people
should not be forced to subsi-
dize the city of Nelson by
penalizing them every time
that they park on their streets,

People come to Nelson to
buy thelr necessities and spend
their hard-earned money, from
which the city merchants make
a healthy profit, This seems to
be all taken for granted. If an
outside shopper happens to be
delayed in one of the stores and
the parking meter runs out, he
finds a parking violation on the
windshield, saying “Thanks for
your patronage in our store!”

That's quite a slap in the
face and is very distasteful and
disgusting to say the least. You
would be surprised to learn
how many people have been
turned away by this, and have
taken their business to Castle-
gar.

Castlegar is a growing city
and is not greedy. They have
the same expenses as any other
city and manage ‘quite well
‘without the annoying “one-
armed bandits” (parking
meters). Also, for a city, they
do not have the revenue that
the city of Nelson enjoys from

U.S. Supreme
Court OK’s
Public Spanking

‘The U.S. Supreme Court
© has ruled that public school

teachers may spank a pupil
against the wishes of the child's
parents,
‘The court affirmed without
comment a decision of a three-
judge federal court in North
Carolina upholding corporal
punishment and spelling out
procedures to be followed.

The lower court said the
pupil must be informed before-
hand that he might be spanked
asa disciplinary measure and
that a written explanation
should be furnished to a parent
on request.

its Hydro resource on the
Kootenay

‘Alderman | Freno did not
reveal how much revenue in
parking meter fines the clty
collects per year. Also, he made
no mention of the thousands of
dollars they just received (like
a windfall) from the natural gas
tax increase on export, shared
by municipalities as a direct
grant from the provinelal gov-
ernment,

When Is the hungry appe-
tite’of the city of Nelson going
to be satisfied?!

It must cause the city
fathers some embarressment of
the method that the meters arc
policed. Recently, I have been a
victim of a parking’ violation
and out of curiosity have
watched the meter ticket man
perform his duties.

He wanders about the
street as though he has all the
time in the world, looking for
expired meters. When he spots
one, he hurriedly writes out a
violation ticket, sticks it under
the windshield wiper, then
hurriedly takes off like a thief
at the scene of a crime so as not
to be apprehended.

Why are shopping centres
so popular and springing up all
over our province? One of the
main reasons is that these
shopping centres appreciate.
their customers and out of
courtesy, provide free parking
—in adverse to the Baker
Street Bandits, a term so freely
used for the Nelson merchants,

Baker Street merchants
may wake up one day to the
fact that they have no cus-
tomers, if they continue to
pursue and penalize customers
with the offensive meters and
fines. The new Nelson shopping
centre may soon accomplish.

‘The City of Nelson pre-
sently taxes, bicycles, dogs,.
property, houses and busi-
nesses. ‘Trucks require special
municipal licerises (however, if
you area non-business man and
operate.a truck, you do not
have to pay for a license, but

must pay $2 to prove that you ”

are exempt).

Nelson also received a
healthy per capita grant for
every man, woman and child
within the city limits; gets a
wealthy revenue for its power.

plant and windfall grant from”

the natural gas exports; but its
hunger for more money still
persists, When ia this hunger
going to be satisfied?
Certainly, the people out-
side the city boundaries are not
responsible to the city for its
problems and should not for-
ever be penalized for them.
Some courtesy and due respect
should be shown to these
people, How many people are
there outside the city limits
now? Support my views. Let's
hear from you.

You Could Say TV Has Blown It

Tus isa bad time of year «

for female television
watchers, The hockey seus-
ons are in full swing. And
already the sports writers
are running stories about
next fall's feotball players.

It’s got so that a girl
hasn't much choice on the
weekends. She has to knit or
get drunk or do some work
around the house, whatever
her thing is. She is a widow,
to all intents and purposes,
Her husband has retreated
into the weak-ankled, hit-
fumbled, slicing, pass-
missed womb of his youth.’
He is of no more use than a
large vegetable.

chair, but he must be
watered and fertilized occa-
sionally, or he. will just
wither away, as he watches,
mesmerized, large hairy
young men doing all the
things he could have done
better 10 or 20 or 30 years
ago. ifonly he'd had a decent *
coach, or the money for
proper equipment, or hadn't
got married.

Wouldn't you think that,
in International Women's
Year, the poobahs of televi-
sion would have made at

slesst a token ‘effort to

destroy this annual spring
edition of Canadian damestic
life — a big, fat turnip stuck
in _aychalr j with: a wasp
buzzing around it?

Surely there is one bright
light among the dim bulbs
which iluminate the world
of TV. This was the year for
the big switch.

With a little imagination
and intelligence, the. bi
advertisers could have mil-
lions of women slumped in a
chair drinking beer and
never removing their eyes
from the screcn and moving
their limbs only to reach for
the sandwich brought in by
George.

There's no shortage of
women's sports, and there is
no shortage of women who
would wateh them. avidly,
and who also control, the
purse-strings of purchasing.

Then there could be all
‘sorts of women’s contests of
skill on the tube.

donned the blades as a tyke,
