Since the initial perpetra- tor of this particular piece of barbarism was a city employee, contirmed” in his activity by Council and hence an instru. ment (albeit, perhaps a dull one) of the council, then tho council must shoulder responsi: bility for the legal, moral and ethical implications in an inci- dent which reeks of callousness, NDP Annuai Dinner Over 150 Persons Hear Alex Macdonald's Address ‘ More than 150 people heard former N.D.P.

Irresponsibility, Mr. Macdonald noted, was better applied to describe the chicanery of the present gov- ernment, particularly with re- gard to Crown Corporations and the movement of funds between them. “The huge premium in- creases by [.C.B.C. further reveals the bankruptcy of gov- ernment policy. At a time when inflation is rampant and pres- sure is mounting on the unions to practice wage restraint, increases of up to 300 per cent in car insurance are nothing short of lunacy.” Mr. Macdonald went on to explain that the differences between the N.D.P. and the HELP! service Castlegar, B.C.

Several inquiries from interested par- tics ask the reason for our. ist on Win Dave's CHICKEN See Page 15 and ‘The casting of a dead body upon a dung. heap was, in Medieval -times, the ultimate act of dishonor and disrespect, The fact that these unfortu- hale, abandoned animals were treated in this manner, and * considering the subsequent ac- tion of those in authority, speaks volumes for all who were concerned with it. This is not an appeal for the abandonment of control of animals, (regardless of the number of legs they may have), but it is a demand for compas- sion, responsibility, common ‘sense and accountability, none of which seém to be too evident on this particular occasion.

The second reason is that should a member have a slip, or a relapse after more or less bragging about his sobriety and possibly throwing his weight around among drinking alcohol- ics, it could very well have a detrimental effect and discour- age others from seeking the. help that is available. The third reason, and basically the main reason, is that the fellowship of A.A. should never be used for personal gain or publicity of any individual. We have but one goal, to stay sober and then help others to achieve. sobriety.
