Letter fromEntertainmentthe editor BEAT Going for a a song Japanese actress Mitsui Suzuki, left, was the special guest introduced by James Roy and Richard Lobbat Blyth Festival’s Gala Auction on Saturday night. Theactress stars in the Japanese production of “The Tomorrow Box”, a play written by Mr. Roy’s wife Anne Chislett. A song performed by the actress was auctioned by Mr. Lobb. The event raised over $20,000. Continued from page 5 ties rallied around families burned out of their homes. They gave money and clothes and furniture but later, some people were per­ turbed about the way the people behaved with the things they were given. You can’t blame people for having a proprietory sense about the Joey Philions of the world and you can’t blame the Joey Philions from getting a little tired of feeling they are “owned” after a while. Which is why we got into many of the government support pro­ grams we now have. Many people think we should be doing more through private sector charities and less through universal programs as we do. Older residents may recall the reason we got universal pro­ grams in the first place was to take away the sense of “charity” about helping others. Needy seniors who would never have accepted old age assistance took it because every­ body was getting it and there was no stigma attached and no sense that they were beholding to those who gave. That may be one reason to universality in family allowances and old age pensions may not be done away with easily.
