40 YEARS AGO From the Dec. 6, 1951 Castle News

A resolution asking both Provincial and Dominion Gov- ernments for improved trans- portation for the Lower Arrow Lake was endorsed by dele- gates at the semi-annual meet- ing of the West Kootenay- Boundary Central Farmers’ Institute held in Nelson last Saturday.

Efforts have been made for some time to secure a liquor store for the Castlegar district; so far they have been ineffec- tual. The net result has been a compilation of a fair-sized file of polite, but meaningless, cor- respondence; a vague promise that we will be looked after the the time comes, such promis- es being now qualified by threats of further delays due to restrictions on strategic mate- rials.

We certainly don’t want erection of a liquor store at Castlegar to throw the war sit- uation into confusion, al- though such a store had been asked for before the situation arose.

If an enthusiastic interim committee has its way, there will continue to be a Castlegar and District Chamber of Com- merce.

The Canadian Merchant Service Guild of Castlegar has voted 87 per cent in favor of a new four-year contract with Westar Timber’s Southern Forest Products.

The contract, which runs from last Oct. 1 to Oct. 1, 1990, will be sent to the Guild’s Van- couver office for review and should be “inked in about a week,”said Ed Conroy, Arrow Lakes representative for the Guild.

Victim’s Silence Allows Rapist to Go Unpunished

DEAR ABBY: I worked in a large office building. Each day my hus: band would drop me off in the morning and pick'me up after work.

One day I took my break a little later than usual and went to the restroom down the hall from the office where I worked

As | entered the restroom, I was grabbed from behind by a man who told me if I screamed or struggled, he would strangle me. Right there in the restroom that man raped me! I didn't know who he was because he wore a ski mask. After he finished, he said if I told anyone, he would hurt my 2-year-old son. Abby, he even told me the cross streets where my son was in day care!

I was so frightened, I told no one, not even my husband. For six weeks I found excuses not to go to work. When I finally told my husband, who had known something was wrong but had no idea what it was, he was so angry, he kicked a two-foot hole in our wall!

Since then, I have made a police report, but because so much time has gone by — and all the evidence has been destroyed — there is little hope of catching him.

T have contacted the Rape Crisis Center, moved my son to another day-care center and have filed for workman’s compensation. I am also seeing a psychologist to help me deal with the mixed-up emotions I am feeling.

I want to tell other women that if something like this ever happens to them, to report it immediately! Hiding it was the worst mistake I could have ever made. Now they

may never catch the creep who did this to me. SCARED AND STUPID

when another person forces her

(or him) to have sex against that person’s will.)

Many victims of rape fail to

report the crime because they

t’s a big mistake. The rapist

is then free to rape another vic-

DEAR ABBY: My husband is a very successful businessman. He is also a habitual liar. When we are out socially, and especially on vacations, he tells such outrageous lies that I am embarrassed. He has tripped himself up many times, and vows he will never lie again — but he con- tinues to do so.

It’s bad enough that he lies to others, but he also lies to me — usually about insignificant things. I can't understand him. We've been married nearly 25 years, and his lying has become such an issue be- tween us that I nearly left him twice! Ilove him, but I don’t like him because

he lies so much. Perhaps if I knew .

why it is so hard for him to tel] the truth, I could ‘cope better. Please

help me. A LIAR'S WIFE

DEAR WIFE: Chronic liars are insecure people who feel the

cate or “embroider” a story to make it more entertaining. Per- haps if your husband felt more comfortable just being himself, he would stick closer to the truth.

DEAR ABBY: I am an intelligent, 35-year-old professional woman. ‘Trying to recover from the shocking discovery that my 7-year-old son had been sexually molested repeatedly by a former live-in lover has left me

After the bizarre revelations of my 7-year-old began to surface, subsequent investigation revealed that the man was on parole from prison for repeated sexual molesta- tions. Now my son is likely to face years of therapy and counseling. I have great guilt tha’ single parent, I was not more aware.

DEAR HEARTSICK: You ob- viously did not know the man well enough to be aware of how dangerous he was. No one (man or woman) should leave a child (boy or girl) with a person one knows only superficially.

Joggers, especially females, need to realize 17-year-old son, who just graduated from high school, has been invited to accompany his girlfriend's family on a month-long vacation the country. As the girl’s parents did not consult me before inviting him, I am now in the position of being the mean mom if I refuse to let him go.

As a registered nurse in the ob- stetrical unit that provides services for about 100 unwed teen-age girls a week, | am very much aware of the dangers of allowing teen-agers to spend large amounts of time together unsupervised. His parents will be there, but I'm very uncomfortable about the closeness this kind of va- cation will provide.

DEAR ABBY: In reference to Fluffy, the sweet little dog wholapped up the antifreeze her owner left in the driveway, it isn't clear whether the Sunday mechanic collected most of the antifreeze and spilled a little, or just drained it on the driveway.

Abby, if the antifreeze killed Fluffy, just imagine what it would do to the environment if it were hosed off the driveway and into the eco- system.

Please, tell your readers that all antifreeze (as well as oils) should be collected and di of properly. Shops that change oil must, by law, accept used oil
