NEW YORK (UPI) -
Yoko Ono, concerned
over the suicides of at
least two Beatles fans
since the death of John
Lennon, is begging the

not to yield to despair.

“I'm just afraid that
instead of what John and I
believed in, people will
think of his death as the
end of something,” Miss
Ono said in an interview
with the New York Daily

mission at the time, said:

“I have the feeling per-
sonally that whenever a
municipal government
owned operation suggests
going into this kind of area -
there can be an overreaction
from the public.

“We won't be running
girlie shows,” added Ball in
emphasizing that the in-
tention of the commission is
to provide “a wholesome
sociable atmosphere for
people who use the
recreation centre.”

About 35 people attended
the meeting, although 630
people, many of them senior
citizens, had signed a
petition opposing’ the
proposal. A panel of 10,
representing the rec com-
mission, also attended.

Isabell Thon, executive-
director of the adjacent
Silver Harbour Centre, a
daytime centre for seniors,
said members did not show
up in force for the meeting
because of bad weather.

PROFIT

Several speakers at the
meeting were dismayed and
concerned that a bar facility
would only encourage young
people to dnnk.

“What is more important?
The welfare of people or a
fast buck for the recreation
commission,” said resident
Mary Brown.

The licenced facihty will
cost $50,000 and the
commission anticipates
profits of $100,000 in the
first year of operation.

Ball said that as a
businessman he was always

interested in any venture
that will turn a profit.
Any profits from the

lounge, Ball said, would be

Members of Silver
Harbour are also concerned
that the liquor lounge would
set off a rash of vandalism in
the area. Others wanted a
firm commitment from the
commission on the hours of
Operation.

Another resident said
alcohol has no place in a
centre designed to promote
physical fitness.

The idea for the facility
was advanced to the
commission» by the
Recreaton Advisory Group
representing 100 groups that
use the centre.

Strong support for the
lounge came from the
president of the curling club,
Bruce Higgins.

“You don't turn a blind
eye to profit,” he said.
“Ultimately it will enhance
the recreation centre.”

As an example, Higgins
said that while the meeting
was in progress it was raining
on one of the curhng sheets
and profits for the lounge
could fix that. ;

Long time commission
member Derek Inman said
the number of groups using
the centre and applying for
temporary liquor board
permits (100 in the last year)
for special occasions often
causes more alcohol related
problems.

Ingram said the organizers
usually feel obligated to
drink the last drop of liquor
brought in for the event. He
said the lounge facility
would provide better
management and control of
such activities.

Resident Audrey
Illingworth called for a
plebiscite on the issue.

“To tell you the truth IJ
didn't think it was a big
enough tssue for this,” said
Ball.
