28, 1992 @ 210 Wednesday, Octob ‘Slim Chick’ requests Aa ST y ee mimic >... SWEET VICTORY News photo by Neil Rachynski The victory was a sweet one for Castlegar. Castlegar defeated Trail in the annual Blood Donors Clinic, forcing Trail Mayor Sandi Santori (left) to accept Castlegar’s city flag from his mayoral counterpart Audrey Moore. Castlegar’s flag was flown atop Trail city hall for one week as part of a challenge between the two communities. News photo by Jonathan Green St. David’s celebrates 20 years @ From it’s humble start, local thrift shop stays in touch with those it serves St. David’s Thrift Shop opened in October 1972, in the little shop across from the liquor store. The thrift shop was the brain child of the late Tonnis Killough, and the purpose was to help the finances of the church, to make use of clothing and household articles people no longer needed, and to be of benefit to the com- Canadian Legion, and have given “toys to the fireman” to refurbish for Christmas. Fortrel material was given to the Catholic Women’s League to help them in their quilt making project. Cotton rags are kept for garages and paint shops, and worn out coats and sweaters are donated for the comfort of an- imals at the animal shelter. St. David’s has al- so donated clothing to burnt out families and refugees. The proceeds from the shop are divided slight against women In the personal ads recent- ly was a request by a “multi- interested” male wishing to find a “slim” female. Ads by men seeking “slim chicks” (under 35) are so com- mon, they must get all their major fantasies from the ubiq- uitous soft porn fashion maga- zines. But why specify “slim- ness” of all descriptors? Is this so major? Is living with a fat woman the greatest terror? The truth is that most women (no matter their shape) think they are fat. Starving anorexics who look like straight from Auschwitz believe they are fat ... and be- ing fat is the worst thing a woman can be. Why? Because no fantastic “mul- ti-interest” sort with a horse and a canoe would give her a second thought. Not only do the fashion plates say so, but so do these actual men in the community. Isn’t the bottom line a little deeper than matters of body shape? Why not seek a woman who just enjoys herself? Men who specify slim above all other possible characteris- tics are in for some weird sce- narios. Do they really want a woman with such low self-es- teem that she signs up at weight-watchers regularly, she makes desserts for you but does not eat them herself. What if you fancy her and build a life, but she gets real hips around age 40? Women do. Personal ads wherein the male seeks a “slim” female fz Radical Times BarbaraMURDOC! add greatly to those problems around women’s images, body shape and low self-esteem. Here in rural areas, you don’t see women advertising for specific body endowments on males, especially ones so per- sonal. Imagine this: Fat lady with mountain bike seeks well-endowed dude for adventurous outings. Send photo. In metro areas some publi- cations print classifieds with every graphic detail imagin- able, and some that aren’t. In those places, men and women advertise any freekish desire, service, position, politics, per- sonal taste and body part. It all hangs out... but equally. What isn’t fair and isn’t in good taste is when heterosex- ual men, who may very well have “let themselves go”, ad- vertise for a “slim chick.” Ei- ther we mention all the body parts or we stick to mind and spirit. So give it a break, guys. Let women off the hook and let them develop their whole selves. fates nr AS ee Workers for the province's Employment Plus Program overlook the 450-foot trail they built to connect Verigin’s Tomb to a site where the Doukhobor leader once prayed.
