Dear Editor:

This letter is a rebuttal to
Mr. Kruss’s letter to the
editor regarding ‘Teen.
Harassment’ in Westlynn
Mall.

While it is true » that there.
isa vociferous minority of
young people who swear,
spit, and generally. cause
mischief in the mall it is also
true that the same
proportion of adults are
involved in “minor” acts of |
shoplifting, -swearing,
spitting, etc. ;

This ignoring of immature

bunk and. that money. spent
and
sustaining . refugee’ families
doesn’t count. Whether it is
“done privately or publically

on . transporting:
itis:sulla ‘cost.

First ‘of “all, there is no
system. of: employment to

speak of: ‘only. a.government .

agency to. alleviate unem-

: ployment, - ‘and: the scale of.
flux of boat people a

insurance’ “ payments, _have.
been“ made. “stingy enough:
Contrary ‘to’ “Mr. Worth’s
view most t people: loath being ©

“force in the mall is not only *

discrimination, it is plain
harassment of those who are
unstre of their rights. °

Recently, I had occasion

. to visit the mall for the

purpose of meeting friends.
As soon as I had looked
around the mall for them I

sat down beside a man and

his ‘wife who were involved
in a heated argument: Their
tone of voice and use of

language was hardly what I

would call pleasant, yet

i was told to

‘move on,” and even

_threatened with_ physical

strategy of |
development

‘stigma attached’ to welfare.

If we want: to. increase the
size and effectiveness” of

“Manpower” then’ ALL
-Tequests for “employment
- should be processed by them

. and -unsuitable employers
. should be denied any licence

to employ. -

If we want to organise and
make a rational plan for our
labour force,

industrial
-and so- far
employers have resisted this

‘conclusion preferring. to rely ;

husband and wife were. left ,

‘to their quarrel. This is not -
the only time that this-sort‘of
évent has taken place.

Personally, sports do not
appeal to me, so I simply by-
pass this particular section of
the paper. If J. Caplette is
not interested in the sun-

look at them so closely.

If what he says about
being “a long time reader of

‘true, then obviously you are

doing something right and
should be credited for it. If
he sacrifices his enjoyment

In other words they do not

There must be an un-

species of which we know
very little as yet.

The crows I have noted,
do not gobble up their food
