Honesty is alive and well

Dear Editor:

In reading a letter from Rosita
Grenby in your recent issue, I have
been prompted to report a case of
another really honest person.

Just after the beginning of Feb-
ruary | was in Park Royal and
carelessly carried my wallet under
my arm. After unlocking my car in

Dear Editor:

It has been an engrossing spec-
tacle watching your columnist Bob
Hunter transform from a ‘‘pig-
baiting” hippie into a yuppie, but I
am afraid that the transformation
has gone too far.

It seems that our fearless
whale-slayer has turned into a
whimpering wimp begging, as he
did in his March 15 column, Big
Brother to ‘‘crack down on us.
Please.”

It is unfortunate that the North
American rite of passage into
manhood seems to need inordinate
amounts of booze and muscle cars,
but no amount of ‘cracking
down’”’ is going to make much of
an impact.

The average 19 year old with six
beers in him can (a) not die, or at

: least does not comprehend the
concept and (b) finds peer pressure
overwhelming or, in any case,

“more than what society as a whole

. can bring to bear on him.

: If you want to do something,
Bob, change our culture’s attitude

- to booze, after all you are an old
attitude changer from way back.

_: OF course, I realize that it is

‘much easier to go begging Big

. Brother for help.

- By the way, Bob, who are we

‘going to ask him to crack down on
next? Abortionists? Smokers? Or

‘how about those whose thinking
on apartheid is not ‘“‘correct.’’

the parkade outside the Bay store |
drove home.

{ had just gotten in my apart-
ment when the phone rang. A lady
who didn't give her name was call-
ing to say she had found my wallet
containing some cash, my driver's
licence, all my credit cards, etc.

She said she would leave it at the
Bay cash office which she did and

{ claimed it there the following
day,

I was so very grateful and hope
she sees this letter in print. | am
constantly being made aware of
the honesty of people in general.

Thank you, anonymous lady.
