STEWART: | rt must have
missed something. I’ve read
_ the papers and the articles in
Macleans and People maga- -

her ‘‘antics.”” I’m being |
facetious. I know what you

should not pretend to be so
unaware. Up to this point I
am delighted with Margaret —

QUESTION: That - guy.
Vander Zalm is strange! His
attitudes really bother me.
Someone said he’s taking us

back to the Charles Dickens
era. I know there is a lot of
‘opposition to his schemes,
but -the thing I can’t
understand is that he has an
awful lot of support too.
Would you care to comment
on your feelings about his
plans and his remarks?

“Let dope
users stew

QUESTION: The iden of
getting 2 bunch of kids {and
thelr parents!] together to

discuss smoking dope is a.

disgusting, ‘harmful thing.
It’s as assinine as getting a
bunch of weight-watchers
together to experiment with
ice-cream sundacs. I was so
disappointed to hear that you
had anything to do with it. if
you take my advice you'll let
dope users stew in thelr own
julces.

STEWART: Somchow (if I
were given the option) |

would be more inclined to let -

people who write letters like
yours, stew in their own
juices. Tennis anyonc?
