There has been a good deal of -
unfair pressure placed on
federal M P 's in the past mon-
ths, over the question of capital
putrishment.
Across the country, the mood
seems to be that capital punish-
ment should be reinstated, and
many M.P.'s who might have
voted against it, on the grounds
of con• •ience or principle, are
havin their arms twisted
pretty and by their con-
stituents.
This, despite the fact that It
was to he a "free" vote, with
putting expediency before con-
science, the end before the
means, will be stampeded into
voting against their private
convictions__
1 am firmly opposed to
capital punishment, and I have
no hesitation in saving so. 1
don't think that it serves as the .
slightest deterrent to the drunk,
tl-ie drug addift the person
-.rnonientarily insane, or the
paranoids who will murder for
money.
And _statistics don't impress
me. Sure, the murder rate has
party lines waived. It makes it gone up during the- five-year
tough toenails for the iyt P who moratorium. But so have the

'It would be a good time for
someone to define the role of a
Member of Parliament.
Is he or she merely a delegate
to carry to Ottawa the wishes of
what might well be a minority
of the voters in his riding')
Or is he .or she a represen-
tative of that riding, with first
the good of the .country at heart
and second, the good of his
riding'?
If the. M P is merely rt
delegate, why pay sonieone
$18.000 a year? \Vhv not just
send a paper-hm, or a pensioner
to Ottawa with the wishes of
the riding''
But if the M.P. is to he a
representative, he should he
given freedom to make his own
decisions, especially when it is
a matter of principle.
It is my fear that some M P.'s

To be consistent, the
adherents of 'capital punish-
ment should be pushing fur a
revival of corporal punishment
as a deterrent.
If we're going to revive the
brutish elimination of human
life, let's go all the way.
Let's bring hack the ducking -
stool for gossips. We'd geed the
whole of the Great Lakes- for
ducking, but never mind. Why
not revive burning for witches?
Ah,what a conflagration • that
would make. -
Kids who stole apples would
be branded on the forehead
with a "1' for "'Thief"
Prostitutes would be marked
with a P, and if they were also
pickpockets, the , would read
PP .
Poachers would get twelve
lashes and be ent to the tun-
dra. That means I'd never see a
•lot of my old friends again.
People caught with illegal
firearms would have their
trigger fingers, or, preferably,
their whole hand, lopped off.
That would mean a surplus of
southpaws, but one can't stand
in the way of deterrents, can
one? Detergents, of cr.)urse, are
a -.different matter. We can
st
rid- in thrWay'"nt'th if, `r►'tt'-
feel a righteous glow..
It makes me physically ill to
hear otherwise decent people
'say they don't believe in
hanging, hut they'd have no ob-
jection to ending a human life
by an overdose of heroin, if the
villain were an addict, or a
"nice" tranquillizer that would
put him ,to sleep forever.
Murder is murder, whether it
is done.bv the individual or by
the state, and I want no part of
it.

The costumes were unique
and suitable in every way to
this magical tale.
Mock Turtle resembled a tur-
tle in every way, even to her lit-
tle tail, protruding -faint under
the •totigh and leathery shell.
The tail of that weird'
creature the Gryphon moved
when the Gryphon walked and
the Frog Footman resembled a
frog from head to webbed toes'
