Just ask Annie!
Dear Annie:
I have five friends with
whom I hang around with all
the time. On April 20, one
came down with the flu. The
second came down with it on
April 27 and the third came
down with the flu on April 29,
The fourth caught it on April
30. The last friend came down
with it yesterday.
Anyway my question is
this, do you think I should
send them flowers or candy
with the get well cards?
Confused
Dear Confused:
Get them the flowers. They
probably can't stomach
candy yet.
Dear Annie:
I am crazy for this guy.
Boy, is he built. But the
trouble is that he always
hangs around with this
pimple faced four-eyed creep
and this creep thinks I'm in
love with him (the creep).
This has been going on for
quite some time now and I'm
Opinion: cruelty common
I have something to say to
the student body at CHSS and
that is: I am 16 years old atnd
everyday in my school, on my
bus and on my street I see
cruelty. I don't understand
why people (kids) get their
kicks by tormenting, making
fun or running someone down
just because he or she is
different, or even when they
aren't so different.
They don't ever stop to
think how they're hurting the
person inside.
' The people I feel sorriest
for are the ones who are in-
flicting the pain. They must
have a low opinion of
themselves to treat others
that way, especially when the
verbal cruelty turns into
physical cruelty and the one,
or ones, inflicting it could
care less.
It's the teasers' low opinion
of themselves and their
desperate need to appear
"cool" and tough that makes
themrbehave like jerks.
The ones to whom this is
addressed know who they
are, I only hope they care
enough to read it.
Sign me, Tired of being:
stepped on walked over
and treated like dirt.
getting desperate, so I've
decided to write you.
Sick of him,
(the creep)
Dear Sickie:
Tell him to get lost. If that
doesn't work, steal his
Clearasil.
Dear Annie:
Last night on the way home
a mad dog bit me, now I fear I
may have rabies. What
should I do?
Rabid
Dear Rabid:
Stay away from me.

Comment: book burners' farce
by Cathy Wooden
I have never felt so
ashamed for Huron County as
I do now. If I did not live in
Huron and feel so offended, I
might find this latest farce
laughable - almost un-
believable. Yes folks, another
book -burning crusade is
underway to save Huron's
youth from exposure to
literary genius (started this
time by the Catholic Women's
League of St. Joseph's parish
in Kingsbridge) .
The Catholic Women's
League has written over 200,
count 'em, 200, letters to
various organizations
requesting support and
they've managed to sucker in
the good 'ol Huron County
Council. Perhaps members
saw the opportunity for being
quoted or something. At any
rate, the council has
displayed classic narrow-
mindedness and downright
ignorance.
The novels in question are:
"The Diviners," by Margaret
Laurence, winner of the
Canadian Governor -
General's Award for
literature; "Catcher in the
Rye", by J.D. Salinger; "Of
Mice and Men," by John
Steinbeck, winner of the
Nobel Prize for literature.
Council members
described these books as
disgusting, pornographic and
in bad taste. How can they
say these things without
getting red in the face? How
can the works of winners of
the highest literary awards
be described like this?
The council is trying to
censor literary masterpieces
which, in all probability, none
of the members have read.
Oh sure, they have looked at
some words taken righout out
of the context of the story but
have they read the novels? I
doubt it.
I take this noble crusade as
a personal insult. It shows
that my elders have no faith
in my ability to intelligently
study literature and little
trust in a teacher's ability to
teach. In class the "dirty
words" and "pornography"
are only discussed in
reference to the author's style
- to his reason for putting
them in his book. A Nobel
Prize 1winner would hardly
put a swear word in his novel
for its shock value or to
corrupt young minds.
Let me tell you, the
language used in these books
would hardly corrupt this
young mind. It isquite in-
nocent when compared with
the "lily-white" language and
grammar used by residents
of this county.
To quote a friend of mine,
"This is just like a little
Peyton Place and you're all
Big Brother is watching
Seeing that my munchkins
are on holidays, the news
hasn't been coming in like
usual. Some things have
happened on the weekend
however.
ES was caught on Satur-
day, skipping from car to car
at the drive-in singing "God
loves you" at the top of his
lungs. By the way, how did
you get into the movie, you're
not 18?
During "Guys and Dolls"
practise, LM burst into the
dressing room to retrieve her
sweater only to find KM in the
' act (of dressing that is).
Shocking, wasn't it?

For the last tour years. incliriduals
and organizations have made suggestions
for change to Canada's immigration
law and policy.
Many of the responses received have
become part of the new immigration
law. designed to serve everyone's hest
interests for years to come.
For the first time. the basic purposes
and principles of our immigration
law are clearly stated in the law itself. All
other provisions of the law. and the
way they are carried out by immigrati 'n
officers. now flee from these purposes
and principles:

of families. Humanitarian c ncem for
