A few weeks ago, this newspaper carried a front page story
headlined ."Police try to cut vandalism".
That story quoted Seafofff� Police Constable Charlie Akey who admits e
vandalism Is a cause for d6ncern but not a problem that can't be solved
with improved surveillance and Increased patrols.
There's no doubt such "immature, childish stuff" as vandalism is
costing the people of Seaforth considerable amounts of money at the
present moment. As soon as surveillance Is improved and patrols are
increased, the bill to taxpayers is bound to take another jump, now or at
some future date.
Town residents are IWdly prepared to dip i to their pockets - even
during these difficult economic times for the extra unclog it will take 40
protect us from ourselves. It seems the oniy,way.
But is it really the best solution? Is it a long-term answer to a -recurring
headache?
Maybe science and technology can provide a cheaper equally effective
way to halt vandalism.
Several major department stores in Canada have had significant
success with their experiment to curtail shoplifting. They invaded the
subconscious minds of their customers by running a "thou shalt not
steal'' tape simultaneously with the music tapes being piped through the
store.
While the volume was turned so low that the conscious ear didn't
detect it, it was loud enough for the subconscious mind to record it and
obey. Many would-be shoplifters were actually pursuaded not to steal by
this mind -controlling method.
Imagine the impact if radio stations and restaurants, bars and roller
rinks could become part of the fight against vandalism. Suppose ''thou
shalt not vandalize" tapes at a low volume could run simultaneously with
the incessant music that is a big part of the lives of most young people. Is
it possible some would-be vandals could be turned off their destructive
forays that easily?
If it is possible - and scientists seem to have proven it is - then who
knows what an influence for good could come of all this? Maybe similar
mind programming could be utilized to prevent self -indulgences of all
sorts, each one agrain on the public purse.
It's something to think about.

The, people's choice
When does a letter become a letter?
That is the question that will undoubtedly face the courts in the near
future.
While the City of Kitchener and its Mayor Morley Rosenberg has
waged a confrontation with Canada Post since the new, higher postal
rates were announced late last year, regarding the delivery of municipal
bills and notices, other municloalitles have been sitting back anxiously
waiting the outcome of the stalemate.
Kitchener has installed a system where its own employees deliver
municipal bills rather than go through the post office, Canada Post says
that it can't legally be done and has come up with a definition of mail,
which would make the delivery of municipal bills the responsibility of the
mall man even before they reach the post office.
Some other municipalities, which have delivered their own bills in the
past, maybe prohibited from doing so because of the new definition. The,
Town of Hanover has delivered its own public utilities bills for several
years. And a few months ago, the Town of Durham felt that the idea of
self-dell,ry warranted some research in an attempt to save some
administrative dollars.
But, in effect, the great Canada Post national bureaucracy is thumbing
its nose at the less -powerful municipal governments by forcing, them to
spend the extra cash for mailing.
Mayor Rosenberg should be correct when he claims that a letter does
not become mail until it reaches the hands of the post office.
And by hand -delivering its own bills, the City of Kitchener has created
a few new jobs to go along with the extra savings in the administrative
department.
While the number of new jobs and the municipal savings would
undoubtedly be much more significant for a larger community with
a highly -concentrated population, it is also obvious that such a move
would also be beneficial for smaller municipalities.
Still, the greedy Canada Post demands a monopoly on the delivery
business, and is attempting to create one through this outlandish ruling.
If a letter can be called mail even before it is posted, then it is also
quite possible that inter -office memos, birthday cards delivered to the
party, get -well cards to a sick friend or relative in the hospital, or even
the hand -delivered presents under the Christmas tree might well be
classified as mail.
It should be impossible for the post office to demand responsibility for
anything'that even closely resembles mail.
A move such as the Canada Post's attempt to restrict the municipal
delivery service is more devastating than it initially appears,
Not only would the move block the chance of much-needed savings in
the day-to-day administrative operation of a municipality, it can also be
regarded as a restriction to the freedom for every Canadian.
The basis of Canadian democracy is a government for the people and
by the people. If the elected representatives of our municipal government
choose, on our behalf, to save some public funds by making its own
deliveries, then it should be ,able to do so.
And, if a federal bureaucracy, an institution that is not government
even though it is funded by taxpayer's money, is able to block the
people's choice, then are we really as free as we would like to believe?
And furthermore, if a bureaucracy can control a government which is
supposed to hold the united power of Its constituents, then how free is an
individual citizen?
There really is only one answer to the present situation. The people's
choice should emerge a winner, but will it.....?
