Terrace residents can expect increased vandalism, Dr. Charles Brauner, a UBC philosophy of education professor said at a Justice Council public meeting in the Terrace Hotel Wednesday. - “We are a society that is ‘derituallzed’,”’ he said, ‘We have a few vestiges left and many of these, like Christ- have been com- mercialized." He described a ritualized society as one with aesthetic, dramatic, symbolic and’ wholistic qualities, with religious, ceremonial and tribal foundations, All ‘Manners Within such a Gociety are vestiges of ritual, said. - We have replaced ritual with regulatory morality and _ young people are more likely to break the regulations of such a society than someone from a ritualized one, he added, © “In ritual societies not to be moral threatens one’s own self identify,” he sald. . Brauner suggested thal the older generation often has unreal expectations of young people because the tions do not conform to an ever changing world, Young people are trained to the manners expected of them by society parents instill a premoral feeling * .along with the lraining. A GORDON CIBSON Can anticipate _ more vandalism vandal is someone who has ‘mixed persona! feelings and desires with the pre-moral feelings. When some young people are denied their personal feelings and desires they become outraged in the same way as someone who is morally vutraged. They replace pre-moral feelings with rage and strike out at society. He said two out of three marriages end in divorce . today and more and more Single parents are having to rely on cutside agencies to raise their children. The Agencies provide everylhing but the pre-moral feelings which children need to be responsible to the laws and customs uf sociely said Brauner. When parents train their children to keep their elbows off the table the authority of their parents creales the pre- moral feelings. A day care worker does not have their kind of authority over children, he said, In" the home children receive a pre-scribed set of manners while the school gives them a pre-scribed set of regulations. During the ' last 20 years young people have learned to rebel against meaningless regulations such as style of hair and style of dress. When the feelings for these rules go, the regulations also go. B.C. Liberal leader to run for fed. seat VICTORIA (CP) _ Federal Environment Minister Len Marchand let slip Thursday that Gordon Gibson, former British Columbia Liberal leader, will be a candidate in the next federal election. Marchand, here for a federalprovincial conference on shoreline management, made the slip during a news conference while expressing confidence that his govern- ment will ba returned to power, ’” He sald his party will in- ‘crease its elght seats in B.C. because of strong candidates such as former Vancouver mayor Art Phillips and Gibson. “Oops, I think I goofed there,” he said when he real- ized what he had said. Gibson, who resigned recently as party leader but is staying on as MLA, has refused lo disclose his plana. Marchand refused to confirm or deny he was one of the cabinet ministers said to have asked Prime Minister Trudeau to slep down before the federal election, and said he is con- fident Trudeau will lead the party to victory again. Mayor Dave Maroney said today thal there is already a bylaw on the books passed by the _ Regional Hospital Board stating that the Regional Health Unit will be built in Terrace and will be trealed as a regional facility. “The bylaw was passed about a year ago, and the Region will have to live up to its commitments,,’ Mayor Maroney said. Terrace represen- tatives are still planning to send a delegalion to Victoria lo insure that provincial ministers are aware of the situation, and to convince them thal MAYOR MARONEY SAYS. Health unit stays Mayer George Thom's bid tu have the health unil constructed in Kitimat should not be taken seriously. In a_ formal press release Mayor Maroney, speaking on behaif of council noled that the Distric! of Terrace has been’ designated as the recreational and service centre of this region and will remain so. Mayor Thom of Kitimat originally suggested that should Terrace receive grants in lieu of laxes from B.C.BC thai — that portion not needed for direct municipal ex- penses resulting from the health unit shuuld be returned to the Regional District to offset the debt retirement payments. Terrace claims that any monies received should be trealed the same as any other lax revenue; that is they should go into general funds and not be kept seperately. “In other parts of B.C. similar units nut built on hospital property, and owned by B.C.B.C. the regional districts con- tributed 20 percent of the capilal custs and the municipality grants, and did not return any monies to the regional district," the Mayor concluded.

In Tel Aviv, unofficial Israeli sources said Israel’s navy made a foray into Lebanese waters off Beirut to signal Syria to stop shelling Christian quarters uf the capital. The Israeli mililary command declined comment on the report, The sources said they did not know if the boatsfired on Beirut, Israel has vowed not Lo allow Lebanon's Christians lo be destroyed but apparently has refrained from intervening in Lebanon because of fears that might upsel the Egyptian-Israeli peace talks sel to begin in Washington on Oct. 12. Witnesses said a three-day Christian assault on Syrians holding two key bridges con- trolling the northern roads and supply routes into the city had failed. In what diplomats saw as a bid to rally civilian morale, “the “rightist - militia ‘ vowed ““ they would turn their guns on Syria should the fighting continue, “The situation is rapidly becoming unbearable," said Pierre Gemayel, leader of the rightist Phalange party. Pulice said the casualty toll has climbed to 1,000 killed and 1,700 wounded in eight months ef Christian- Natives OTTAWA (CP) — There may not be time to save the native cultures in Northern Canada frum the massive influence of television, Pat Pearce of tne Canadian- Radio-television and Telecummunications Cummission (CRTC) said Thursday. She said her visits to the Arctic led to an impression “of sheer desperation thal a whole people was being destroyed."" She said the CRTC, the CBC and all Canadians must bear some responsibility for nflicting southern and foreign values on the Inuit nd Indians of the territories without preparing them for the cultural shock. . Southern Canadians had rushed to bring television to the North against the war- nings of native groups of Syrian battles for control of the tiny Mediterranean stale. The Phalangist radio told Christian civilians holed up in thelr makeshift basement bunkers that the Syrians were being heavily rein- forced and no end appeared in sight to the constant rain of artillery fire. In a slatement issued in Geneva, the Lebanese Red Cross said: ‘‘The civilian population, hospitals, dispensaries, asylums, Shelters, nothing is being spared, In the name of humanity, in the name of the most elementary principles of human righls, in the name of the children, women and aged people who are dying Region by the hundreds, we urge you to act.” Meanwhile, a spokesman for Lebanese-American groups said in Washington that Christian leaders in Beirut have issued an ''S05" for Uniled Nations in- tervention, Dory Chamoun, son of former Lebanese president Camille Chamoun and a leader of a principal right- wing Christian faction, asked the United States, France and other western nations to see that UN mili- lary forces be dispatched to Lebanon immediately.

The get (ugether which was held primarily to inform media members of the completion of the regivnal district's planning maps, heard regional planner Craig Campbell outline some of the details included on the maps. Such things as forest -areas, high. density’ residential afeas, water fluws, highways, projected new develupmenis, all are included. Copies uf the maps will be available to the general public within a munth’s time. ; In answers to questions abuut further population growth within the region Banyay replied that predicting population figures ruined cultural genocide, Mrs, Pearce said the warnings have proved true and if the tide is to be turned, it is imperative that local nalive programming be fitted into the northern schedule, Mrs. Pearce referred to statements Tuesday by CBC president Al Johnson that southern Canadian children were exposed to so much American programming that they were in danger of “growing up American,” They were assuming the values of American TV which did not reflect Canadian values. But the CBC was guilly of the same offence in Northern Canada. In reply Johnson said the comparison is valid, but a crusade to save northern cultures must become a national policy, and without CONTINUING EDUCATION Kitimat goes to college out of the continuing education field, he now believed the board should recunsider. Ling said there was every indicaliun the new system would cost laxpayers more money and the beard would luse all input in the con- linuing education field. McDunald said she feared that non-academic courses would be dropped when the cullege tuk over. “Costs will Inerease and general inierest courses such as Chinese cuvking may have to be cancelled,” she said. Jackie Wurboys, presidenl wf the Kitimat Districl! Teachers Association, and George Neumann, principal of Mount Elizabeth Senior Secondary, urged the board to reconsider its decision. Worbuys questioned whether the reerealion department would have funds or staff tu handle the nut-academic program by the take-over dale, January 1, 1979, Neumann said he was cuncerned that Northwest College might drop high schuul equivalency programs in faver of post secondary schoul courses, Tt was a bad night for nun- academic activities.

Watchorn said his “lack of sophistication’ was is extremely difficult other than to say there will cer- tainly be the norma) growth uf between two and three per cent per year. “However a change in world metal prices, or in transportation systems could bring an influx of residents to this area,’’ Banyay said, Planner Campbell ex- plained that there are several mines throughout the area which are already proven to hold mineral rescurces but the world price has lo increase to make mining (hemi feasible, Anuther pussibility. would be if raillines were run north frum Terrace trains could be used tv bring lumber duwn to Terrace frum further north than is now possible, Each municipality is required by pruvincial law to have an overall plan and the regional plan will reflect these, Banyay added. by t.v. massive junds from Parliament, the hands of the CBC are tied. Doug Ward, head of the northern service, told the commission earlier thal television “is a big put-down ‘ta the people of the North, especially to its permanent residents of ali kinds.”’ “tt does not talk the language of the North, only, thé most recent one,’’ he said. “Tt does not reflect the joys and the frustrations and the pacing of northern life—just southern,” The need is for native pro- gramming and Ward said the northern service has a multimilion dollar plan to pul before the federal cabinel laler this year, A good regional program would cost about $5 million a year, responsible fur failure to seck approval. He said he had felt there was nv need tu invulve the board or parents until the Chinese govern- ment authorized the tour, and students were aware the Irip might be cancelled. In other business, Dale Fiddick, Disirict Superin- tendent, reported that Alexander, Roy Wileox and Kildala elementary schvols are overstaffed.
