Discrimination against women in Canada
takes many forms. The women's movement

Dear editor:
I am writing to ask your help in locating
people in your area with an inherited pro-
gressively debilitating neuro -muscular
disorder called Charcot-Marie-Tooth
Disease or Peroneal Muscular Atrophy.
For 40 years I lived with this disease, not
knowing anyone else with it and not being
able to share the frustrations and worries I
felt as the disease eventually robbed me of
my livelihood as a journalist and directed
me toward a wheelchair and a whole new
career working with people.
In August, 1984, I decided to find a few pen
pals. That modest endeavour has turned in-
to a full-fledged organization called CMT In-
ternational, featuring a newsletter publish -
What choice for
drinking drivers?
Dear Editor,
I have been reading in the paper recently
about drinking and driving, and I agree it is
a very real problem, but what other alter-
natives do the people of Goderich have?
Do you know you can't get a cab in this
town after 11 p.m.? I called Goderich Taxi
and B&B Taxi and both close at 11 p.m.
Secondly, I called four of the more
popular drinking establishments in town to
see if they had a policy for providing rides
home for their customers and all said "No".
Lastly, I called the Police Department.
Even the "Boys in Blue" won't drive you
home. They do not provide a taxi service.
How are responsible citizens supposed to
get home if they have had a few drinks and
don't feel they should drive their car?
Maybe if there was an alternative means
of transportation available past 11 p.m., we
would have fewer drinking drivers on our
streets.
