peace.

Dear Editor:

In reference to your article in a
recent edition of the News, regar-
ding the extended licensing hours
of Sailor Hagar’s Pub, | am ap-
palled by the comments made by
Ald. Ralph Hall.

He may feel that the extension
to midnight is not ‘ta drastic
move’’ and that getting reactions
from resident owners in the area is
“unfair,”’ but, he does not have to
live with a pub on his street.

It is a funny thing about pub
patrons, they seem unable to °.,
their farewells inside the pub, they
must shout greetings from across
the strect, as they get in their cars.

They all seem to have faulty
door latches, since all car doors are
slammed. They then rev up their
engines and race away, honking
final farewells to friends.

With the present closing time of
11 p.m., this noise has gone on un-
til 11:45 p.m. (you have to allow
them iime to ‘sup-up’ their last
pint). With the proposed extension
to midnight, I can look forward to
this racket continuing to 12:45
a.m., seven days a week,

So, thanks a lot, Ald. Hail, your
concern is ruining the
neighborhood.

Perhaps Ald. Hall or the owner
of Sailor Hagars would like to buy
my condo — then they can enjoy
‘their neighborhood pub’.

GOV'T DOESN'T SUFFER FOOLS GLADLY

Dear Editor:

For all its shortcomings and ex-
cesses, the South African gov-
ernment doesn't suffer fools glad-
ly.

Raiding African National Con-
gress (ANC) headquarters in three
different countries with total suc-
cess and absolute impunity once
again illustrates that the ANC is
litle more than a disorganized
would-be milit: ristic group that in
effect lacks the ability tou as much
as make a stand against the
Johannesburg fire brigade.

According to negotiators
selected by Commonwealth coun-
tries ‘o arrange a South African
peace, this vocal rabble of op-
timists should be allowed to
operate freely inside South Africa
and their leader, Nelson Mandela,
must be relsased from prison to
lead them. As a form of induce-
ment to the Botha administration,
the negotiators offer a truce by the
ANC,

My regret is onty that Canada
had a representative among that
group of negotiators. | can think
of no body of advisors in. recent
history who offered such super-
ficial and ill-considered advice in a
serious confrontation, Would
Canada as much as listen to a pro-
posed truce emanating from a
band of terroristic murderers?

To further complicate the issues,
both Winnie and Nelson Mandela
were granted an award by three of
the ‘‘impartial’’ negotiators in
recognition of their services to
third world countries.

It’s difficult to imagine the
nature of those services although
Nelson Mandela founded and
operated an explosives factory at
Rivonua where armaments were
secretly made and if nothing else,
Winnie Mandela has made the
burning tire necklace a household
name.

Much as South Africa stands in
need of peace and fairness for all
