What can you do if you’re
with an adult who has been
drinking and wants to drive? .

Jody Andrews
(Thornhill Junior .
Secondary -—- Grade 9)

First | would see if |
could find another adult
to drive us home, but if |
couldn't I’d phone a cab
or a frlend. But | would

definitely not let the per-

son drive or walk home. If

she or he gets drunk |
have to take charge, so |

- would have to find an-

‘other adult who could
help me out.

James Stein
(Thornhill Junior
Secondary, Grade 10)

Before they leave the
house, or wherever. they

are, you go into the
engine and you puil a

spark plug wire or some -

main component of the
engine. Then if you feel
they’re too drunk to drive,

you don’t give it to them.

— you make them call a
cab.

‘

Robbie Gardner
(Skeena Junior
Secondary — Grade 9)

_ | would phone the other
parent, and If they weren’t
home !’d phone a cab. But
if they still insisted on
driving home, I'd phone
the police to get them to
stop the person from driv-

ing.

Tracey Todd

’ (Caledonia Senior
Secondary — Grade 11)
if they were drunk and
wanted me to go with
them | wouldn’t go with
them. | would do every-
thing | could to convince

them that they’ shouldn't .

drive and to give me the
keys and take a cab. If
they wouldn't give me the
keys, | would call the
police and give them the
license number.

Michelle Weber
(Skeena Junior
Secondary — Grade 9)

The first thing | would
‘do is call a cab and then

try to reason with them...
tell them there’s no way

‘you're driving — you're

going home in a gab. .

Sheri Pannun
(Caledonia Senior
Secondary — Grace .12)

! would have to reason
with the person first of all.
! would say, “There is no
way you can drive this

car.” If [knew how to drive

| would drive myself, if
not, | would call a cab. if
the person got hastile, |
would have to try to get
the keys away from him
with the assistance of an-
other adult who is not
drunk. If matters got out

‘of hand | would have to

call the police... there’s
nothing else | could do.
There’s no way | want

anyone endangering the

Letters to the Editor _ ee

Smith says
farewell

To the Editor;

I would like to take the oppor-
tunity after my last official
Council meeting to express my
sincere appreciation to the
Mayor, members of Council and
City staff. The past two and a
half years have been a most
rewarding experience. To serve
one’s community in an elected

.capacity is an experience which.

carries a great’ deal of respon-
sibility, its fair share of frustra-
tions and most certainly a sense
of productive accomplishment.

Those who meet and continue
to meet the call of community
service through elected office
have my sincerest respect and
best wishes. Those of you who
have taken on this responsibility
play a vital and challenging role
in our community. It is a role
which often, by its nature, is not
recognized until the following
election (and even that is by no
means guaranteed!), But above
all, the role is rewarding and
clearly a fulfillment of the desire
to better one’s community. To
my colleagues on Council, I ex-
tend my thanks.

I would like to take a moment
to thank the staff and ad-
ministration of the City of Ter-
race, Over my terms in office I
have seen a dedicated group who
share the challenge of maintain-
ing and building a strong com-
munity. Their work is often un-
seen or sometimes. taken: for
granted simply because it is ex-
pected. We should all remind
ourselves of their achievements
and good works on behalf of our
city,

I leave my post as Alderman
confident in the City’s direction.
I encourage all of us, elected or

not, to become involved in the.

process of building our com-
munity and meeting the exciting
challenges ahead of us. Thank
you for the opportunity to serve.
Doug Smith,
Terrace, B.C.

Don’t get
confused

To the Editor;
Many people have called the

_offices of the Canadian Cancer
Society to question mail they —

have received from an agency
called the Cancer Research
Society Inc. of Montreal.

The Canadian Cancer Society
wishes to clarify any confusion
this organization has caused.
Because it has a name and logo
vaguely similar to ours, people
think that by donating to it they
are in fact donating to the Socie-
ty. That is not so.

The Canadian Cancer Society
is the only national organization
dedicated not only to research,
but also to public education and
patient services. All the money
raised by the Canadian Cancer
Society in British Columbia
stays in British Columbia.

We urge people to know well

the organization they are sup-
porting. Look carefully at the
requests that come to your door,
choose the one you wish to sup-
port, and please feel free to call
the Canadian Cancer Society of-
fices at 872-4400 if you have any
questions. :

Debby Altow,

Administrator,

Public Relations,

B.C. & Yukon Division
Canadian Cancer Society.

Biggest .
land grab

To the Editor;

Dave Parker, MLA. for
Skeena and Minister of Forests,
is spearheading the largest land-
grab in British Columbia’s
history. The multinational Flet-
cher Challenge of New Zealand
is applying for a Tree Farm
License that will take a public
asset, larger in size than all the
parks of B.C., and turn it into
private tenure.

The disputed cost of buying
back South Moresby National
Park will be between the federal
government’s offer of $31
million and Western Forest
Product’s demand of $150
million, The Mackenzie land-
grab, that Mr. Parker seems
eager to give away, is therefore
worth between $9 billion and
$42 billion.

Our public heritage is going,
going... .

William Hayes,
Old Remo.

“Keen eye

To the Editor;
Re: the article ‘‘Task force
favors user-pay recycling’’
(Nov. 2, 1988): trust the intrepid
reporter Tod Strachan to notice
with his keen eye the use of
_styrofoam cups and the pounds
of paper distributed by the Solid
Waste Task Force at their
meeting in Terrace. These ‘‘side
notes’’, as Strachan calls them,
are what make the
Review an exceptional weekly
paper for anyone who follows
the city’s community news with
awareness of the issues.
D.E. Menzies (Mrs.),

Halifax, N.S.

Thanks
from the

Youth Centre.

To the Editor;

The Terrace Youth Centre
specially thanks all the -mer-
chants who generously gave for
our recent Hallowe'en celebra-
tion at the Centre.

We want you to know that
your gifts made our night possi-
ble. The haunted house, the bags
of goodies, the decorations and
safety strips all went to make up
an evening that was enjoyed by
both the youth and the
volunteers.

Thank you.

Joan Munson, Secretary,

Tetrace Youth Centre Society.
