her recognition importance and
self-esteem .from a, 300 hp motor
or some senseless. destructive
prank•.rather than the hone and
community. Its a great pity .
when anyone , and 'especially
young 'people .don't have the
init atrve-�ty.-f nd sarnernhxng to
do., but More so when the intel--
ligence doesn'gt go any further
than pushing a gas pedal.
It is the ' opinion of some in
Lucltnow that the reason we no
longer have our own police protec-
tion is, that •some citizens felt
that their children should/ be ex-
emptfrom the law and used their
influence to get them off.. To be
,caught and chargedwith activity
which is dangerous is one thing, ,
but to have parents fight to get
you out from under the law 'is
complete madness. Weteach
that the law is to be ignored and
that Borrie should expect special
e.cial
.privilege, .After the incident •
of the Red .Car• reported in the
London Free Press, where threev
young fellows .were killed , the
reaciio.n seemed to be that the .
police were at fault for chasing
them..
Our community, along with
many others; seems to be the
victim of children and young
people who .have parents, who
• couldn't care less; about their
whereabouts or their activity in

—early hours -.o -f -th- e-rnor-ning, • '
Many Lucknow residents have had
their sleep` interrupted by squeal-
ing, tires, roaring motors, both
car and motorcycle , in the small
hours of the .morning.
If parents care -so little about
their children as to allow themie
wander around at all hours ofthe
day or night, the obvious gUes-
tion seems to be , why do they
Italie them at all? Or are the .

The dangerous fact about

bines rapidly, with._.herno

is called . carboxyhemoglobin.
Normal : level of ' this in
the body is about • one-half
of one percent. When this level
rises to 5 to .10 :percent, there
is outright. interference with
