Control kids in malls

Dear Editor

Our shopping malls are no
longer pleasant places to
wander around, relax and
shop in. They have been
taken over and despoiled by
hordes of noisy children and
their selfish, inconsiderate
parents.

.Shopping has become
something of a nightmare, as
unattended children dash out
in front of one, in their wild,
blind race through crowded
stores. Of course when the in-

Dear Editor

In a world that is so
evidently becoming darker at
an alarming rate, ! feel it is
important to draw attention
to a hght of hope that has
greatly aided me in facing
each day. Being a mother of a
handicapped child, | feel that
I would have missed a great
deal of my son’s growth and
development if not for the in-
valuable help of the
Lionsview Earty Education
Centre.

Through their patience and
perserverance, my son’s
teachers have sincerely
shared my hopes that my
child will reach the pinnacle
of his potential and that he is
accepted and loved. | wish to

Dear Editor

Waher Block's proposal
that blood should be subject
to the market place, no doubt
being listed on the stock ex

Back in what are called the
good old days by people with
poor memones, blood was
paid for, many of the donors
being winos from the
downtown core’ Possibly
receiving a transfusion was a
version of the happy hour

Today, of course, with the

Tasteless

Dear t-ditor

The idca of a Suashine Crart
isn't really all that bad I find
that recently, however the
“tastefulness'> has gone
straight downhill tts not on
ty that Lam offended by what
seems hike soft porn, but !
wonder if your photographer
reahzes that your newspaper
i delivered to almost cvcry
house on the North Shore?
Are these the hand of pictures
that young children should be

tooking at? Please if you're
going to have pretty garts in
your’ paper, at icasi have

them dressed deucntly

evitable happens and they fall
flat on their face, we're
treated to what seems like
hours of high-pitched
screaming, while mom’s
angry voice joins in the fray.
The rest of us wonder what
on earth we've done to
deserve it all and leave as
quickly as possible.

Mall administration have
been dragging their feet far
too long on this issue, afraid
lest they alienate the parents
and lose their shopping
dollars. This myopic attitude

prevents them from seeing
just how much money they
lose from other shoppers,
like myself, who are finding
it impossible to shop in the
current state of bedlam. To
salvage this lost revenue they
can do one of three things:

1. Permit children in the
mall, during morning hours
only. (I’m appalled at the
number of babies and tod-
diers being dragged through
busy stores in the evenings.
Surely, they should be in bed
at that ume of day!)

for centre

extend my most heartfelt
gratitude to each and every
member of the Lionsview
staff who have dedicated
themselves to giving children
such as my son hope when
other experts decided that
there was none. There is not
enough space in this entire
newspaper to describe the
depths of my feelings for
these individuals who have
lifted the limitations from my
son's life as well as my own.

can only request to
anyone who has an influence
in the maintaining and fun-
ding of this program that
they continue to understand
and recognize the importance
of such special schooling for
children with development

delays. Many thanks and
sincere appreciation to all
involved.

2. Provide an area where
children must be left while
Mom shops.

3. Ban children from the
Mall altogether!

Sales would soar as the ma-
jority could once again shop
in an atmosphere of dignified
calm. Why, we would ask
ourselves, did we allow a
disruptive minority to run
roughshod over the rest of us
for so long?
