As Director ,o ° -Education
John ' Cochrane put it, • if a
reporter is barred from certain
parts of',,the meeting, he or she
has it tendency to dig into
situations where there _' 0 really
• no reason. to dig. Naturally, this
"digging" - can be detrimental to
the . image, the board' of
• education , " projects in the
community.'
Well, the. upshot of the whole
thing is that it seems entirely
possible that in the future,•
reporters will be welcomed at all
- the board meetings, both public
° and in -committee. As far as I'm
concerned; that's a grand step
forward.
"Again the opinions vary,
"Drug • users can easily point
to those in their ranks who are
unaffected by drug use, and in
fact ''our discussion revealed a
change for the better in the
personality, - behaviour.... and
outlook on Life of one of the
area users.
"Those who oppose drug use,
can just as easily point to the
number among the ranks who
end --up in muddled -conditions.
and those whose minds have
been completely wrecked.
"The latter situation of course
leads to strong arguments against
any type of drug use.
"Here, .the major conflict in
our society occurs. Parents point.
out that the use of drugs can
lead to wrecked lives through
addiction, while the young
people quickly reply that the
same exists with alcohol and its
addiction, and 'yet most adults
partake in the consumption of
alcoholic beverages.

Whenever I attempt to hand
out bouquets, I always seem to

spoke about the folks who had -
