Dear Editor:

This, my first ever letter to
the editor, has been inspired
by Bob Hunter's article on
drunk drivers and 1 am
driven to declare ‘‘Hear
Hear’’.

Boaters

Dear Editor:

Often | have read and
respected the comments of
Hon. Jack Davis MLA.
However, his letter in your
August 25 edition missed the
point. A different location
for a ferry dock will not pre-
vent disasters such as the re-
cent tragic accident. in
Horseshoe Bay.

Before coming to the
coast, I took the ‘Power
Squadron’’ course, thinking
that it would be the absolute
minimum that is needed
before venturing out into the
salt water. I am glad that |
took it. Unfortunately, that
is not the general attitude
toward boating. 1 have met
some boaters after they have
travelled some 100 miles up
the coast from Vancouver in
clear weather asking —- what
is this place? No charts.
Some have road maps.

Drivers have to pass tests,
pilots and hunters do, except
boaters. : .

Mr. Davis, here is your op-
portunity for some good
work in the Legislative
Assembly. Read Bob Hunter
in the same issue. He said it
all.

Collins
inaccurate

Dear Editor:

1 am not sure if f should
write this letter to you as
editor or to Doug Collins,
since it is his column in your
August 2 issue which com-
pels me to protest.

I suggest Mr. Collins get
his spelling and facts right
before expressing his usual
somewhat vitriolic views on
the subject of women. The
general tenor of his column
is nat worth commenting on,
given Mr. Collins’ well-
known prejudices.

However, may | point out
that the Oxford Dictionary
gives the correct spelling of
“they-dey’’ as heyday. See
the Concise Oxford Dic-
tionary, 1974 revised reprint.

The. other point which
needs correction is the men-
tion of one Larwood and the
implication that he was an
Australian. Actually, Harold
Larwood was a member of
the English cricket team
which played against
Australia for the ‘‘Ashes’’
back in the 1930s or
thereabouts. He was known
as the ‘‘demon bowler’’ and
somewhat criticized for his
use of what was called
“bodyline bowling’’, a term
which is self-explanatory.

Given Mr. Collins’ inac-
curacy on the two above
points, I doubt any of his
other points regarding
Australia deserve to be given
credence.

drivers. As draconian as they
might seem, the measures
suggested by the Manitoba
judge might well serve to
identify for all the world to
see (and avoid on the road),
those in society who either
cannot or will not behave
responsibly.

Ifa red licence plate caused

ed as a bartender and so came
to cultivate a thorough
disgust for those incapable of
consuming alcohol respon-
sibly; and my thoughts about -
deunk drivers ate exactly
those expressed by Bob
Hunter.

In my view, no penalty is
too severe for habitual drunk
