Doug Collins @ get this straight @ WHEN TERRORIST Oliver Tambo was being cooed to the other dey by Brian Baloney, the South African Em- bassv ran & full-page advertisement in the National Winip, otherwise known as the Globe & Mail. Tambo is boss of the commie- run African National Ccngress, another of the world’s phony ‘diberanion movements’. And die ad scored a direct hit on him. It used his own words to show how the ANC favors violence and fines up with the Soviets. But right in the middle of the page was a blacked-out section that looked just like the censored bits you see in newspapers in the dictatorships. And that’s what it was. A cen- sored bit. The censors were the Globe's own people, however, and what readers were not allaw- ed to sec were two pictures: one of a black who had been ‘‘necklac- ed"? and another of a baby who had been killed in a bomb explosion. A newspaper does have the right to decide what it will run. That too is freedom even though it may also be censorship. But when the South African Embassy compiained, the paper's censors won top prize for hypocrisy. Marketing director Michael Soliman said the pictures were in bad taste. Managing editor Geoffrey Stevens said they were not only in bad taste but ‘‘exploitive’’. Bad taste! Exploitive! We should all see what happens when someone is necklaced. It is educational, But it isnt mention- ed much in polite soviery. Baloney didn’t ask Tambe about it, for in- stance, and our TV shies away from it, preferring white sins. Canada's socialist loudmouth at the United Nations, Stephen Lewis, should see a necklacing. So should Shirley Carr, the NDP fem who runs the Canadian Labor Congress. And Archbishop Ted Scott. And Joe Clark. Plus Baloney himself, who is so unc- tuous about capital punishment here. Such people might then have some idea of what revolution in South Africa is all about. As it is, the only bad guys they can think of are the whites. The text under the blacked-out photos read, in part: “The terrified victim is cap- tured by his or her executioners. Frequently, his hands are cut off...The tire is placed over the shoulders and filled with petrol or diese! (the latter has been found to stick to the skin when it burns. It is therefore in greater demand). “The fuel ignites the tire which...attains a temperature of 400 to 500 degrees Celsius. The rubber melts and...runs down neck and torso, burning as it goes, deever and deeper into flesh and ussue. The victuin may take up to 20 minutes ta die...” The South Afticauns didn‘t in- sent that description. Tpwas taken trom Encounter magazine. Since 1984. 661 people hase been burned alive by the ‘comrades’. as they call themselves. Meanwhile, Baloney’s buddy Tambo his stated he “regrets’’ necklacing but cannot condemn it. In the same spirit, Joe Stalin told Winston Churchill that he regretted the deaths of millions of peasants in the farm collectiviza- uon program. A regretiable necessity, Anyway, the Globe says the pic- tures were exploitive, but it must have grown an addile in its pate. Any dramatic picture is exploitive. It was exploitive of the Globe to run front-page photos of sad- looking miners in the recent South African gold-mine strike, and ex- ploitive to show South African police chasing rioting blacks with whips. Give us a break, you guys. What you meant was that it would not be nicely liberal to show too much of what the ANC is up to. The CBC suffers from the same disease. The Journal interviewed Tambo the very day the South Africa ad appeared and did a fox- trot with him. Not a_ single awkward question was asked. Necklacing? Never heard of it. importance of seat belts driven home A WAYWARD bee helped drive home for a 30-year-old West Van- couver resident the importance of wearing seat belts. . Kathleen Kelly received an ICBC Living Proof award last month after she escaped serious injury in a-car accident through the use of. her seat belt. The accident occurred June 14 when the West Vancouver secre- tary was driving home on Highway 5 from a visit to Shuswap Lake in the Okanagan. Kelly had her car window rolled down in the hot weather when a sudden gust of wind blew a bee in- to her car. After buzzing around Kelly’s head, the bee dove for her feet and distracted Kelly just as her car was heading into a curve in the road. “The next thing I heard was the sound of the car hitting one of those plastic meridians,’’ she said. “And then I saw dust and my car was going down an embankment.” Kelly’s 1980 Chevrolet Citation had been going approximately 80 kilometres per hour when it shot over the embankment. The car was a total write-off. She was shaken up but because she was wearing her seat belt, Kelly suffered only minor cuts and abra- sions to her legs and knees. “1 would have been dead if | hadn’t been wearing it,’’ Kelly said. ‘‘I’m sure of it.”” Kelly, who has been driving for the past 12 years, said she began wearing a seat belt six years ago in Alberta ‘‘when the guy I was going out with refused to let me in the car unless I was wearing one.”’ The practice became a habit. She has been wearing one ever since, and her June 14 accident has in- delibly imprinted in her mind the importance of wearing seat belts in overall car safety. “They really do work,’’ Kelly said. ICBC’s Living Proof Awards program began in 1982 to Tecognize people who wear safety belts and, according to ICBC spokesman Ken Hardie, ‘‘to em- phasize to people how good it is to wear safety bc‘ts.”’ Hardie said seat belt awareness was one of two main objectives of ICBC’s traffic safety division when it was established, the other objec- tive being to raise public awareness of the dangers and tragedy inher- ent in drinking and driving. Living proof award recipients can be nominated by doctors, police, ICBC or themselves. The award recognizes drivers and passengers who have been spared serious injury or death in car crashes because they were wearing seat belts at the time of their crashes.
