A special opinion survey was
carried out this 'week by your
reporters. We ,asked the burning
question • :
"What do you think of girls
wearing slacks to school?"
Our general .result was that
most people did not favour slacks
for classroom Wear. The reasons
were these:
"Girls look sloppy in slacks."
"Girls should look like girls."
''Slacks get wet from the snow
and should he removed for health
reasons."
. Pant suits look smart but slacks
muet be chosen with care.•.TeenS
are out."
On the other side of the fence:
"They are more cornforta.ble."
"They allow more freedom of
movement,"
"They ate warmer."
We conclude froni this that the
rules will not change immediately.
Parents what do you think?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
"Those snowmobilers certainly
ved the day". or, "If it weren't
for that snowmobile club I could
have frozen to death". These are
just a. few of the kind words that
we overheard during the recent
,S119W storm which hit inid-western
and southwestern Optario
Prior fo the storm I also heard
remarks like, "Ban the darn
things" or "They are :iust a status
symbol", and "A few people are
making money at our expense." 1
think you will agree these are a
far cry frorn the remarks made
during the storm.
'We don't intend to take sides
because we are involved in erifore-
ing the laws which the people
have made. It le not a police
officer's right to decide 'whether
a law is good or bad. It is hie job
to protect the lives and property
of the public. to enforce the laws
made by the people and to appre-
hend the alloged offenders and
have them summoned to Court.
where the Courts will decide, only
after ell the evidence is hehrd, if
the alleged offender is guilty or
riot.
Wee of the Ontario Provincial
Police would like to take this
opportunity ,to thank all persons
who so ably assisted as during the
recent storm. On numerous oc-
eaeione, without the help of snow-
mobilers, what could have been a
tragedy tuened out 'to be a case
cif harehip Only.
I have been told, and Was con-
vinced before this emergency.
that a police force is only as good
ns the co-operation it receives
from the public. The co-Operation
we received and were offered is
,iust another case\ to back up this
belief.
Could he that when everything
Mick to normal we will hear
criticism of something we failed
to do or the manner in which -it
was handled, but this' letter was
originally written with a pencil
wliicch ha cl an eraser on the- end of
it, because people do snake nlis-
tak.es . Granted, the less mistakes
•m ade the hotter. but if we learn
by our mistakes, progress is being
:made.
