More porn: In_ Sefton,
England, a book on the sex
life of the Natterjack Toad
was banned from the local
public library. Also banned
were 400 illustrated medical
texts. Good. We doctors have
Our monopoly to protect.

The ‘best
stories’
of 1984:

In Baltimore, a cabbie was
fined $500 for locking a
passenger in his taxi for 30

inutes because she was four
ents short on the fare. The
udge had no sense of humor.

In Kitchener, Ont., a debt
collector threatened to ex-
hume a women’s husband
after he was buried in a suit
that hadn’t been paid for.

**Be my guest,’’ Said the
widow.
In Moscow, So¥iet scien-

tsts have bred chickens that
leap fearlessly into pools and
spend hours pecking grain
under water.

It is rumored that Soviet
science is now developing
chickens that do the belly-
flop, so that Russkis have
something to laugh about.

Happy New Year.

‘Stood up to intimidation’

Dear Editor

This is an accolade to you
people who stood up to
intimidation.

The Ridingtons and their
colleagues have the freedom
to read Doug’s columns or
not read them; they have the
freedom to turn the radio dial

if they do not lke the pro-
gram or should they think
another would be better; they
have the freedom to change
the channel on their TVs
should they so wish.

In a democratic country
committed to the freedom of
the individual and the
freedom of choice, it is an af-

front to a free society to have
ANYbody try to intimidate
advertisdrs or ANY
newspaper deprive a col-
umnist of his freedom of
speech, AND especially one
who has laid.dais life on the
line for such freedoms.
