The ‘best stories’ of 1984:

In Baltimore, a cabbie was fined $500 for locking a passenger in his taxi for 30

inutes because she was four ents short on the fare. The udge had no sense of humor.

In Kitchener, Ont., a debt collector threatened to ex- hume a women’s husband after he was buried in a suit that hadn’t been paid for.

**Be my guest,’’ Said the widow. In Moscow, So¥iet scien-

tsts have bred chickens that leap fearlessly into pools and spend hours pecking grain under water.

It is rumored that Soviet science is now developing chickens that do the belly- flop, so that Russkis have something to laugh about.

Happy New Year.

‘Stood up to intimidation’

Dear Editor

This is an accolade to you people who stood up to intimidation.

The Ridingtons and their colleagues have the freedom to read Doug’s columns or not read them; they have the freedom to turn the radio dial

if they do not lke the pro- gram or should they think another would be better; they have the freedom to change the channel on their TVs should they so wish.

In a democratic country committed to the freedom of the individual and the freedom of choice, it is an af-

front to a free society to have ANYbody try to intimidate advertisdrs or ANY newspaper deprive a col- umnist of his freedom of speech, AND especially one who has laid.dais life on the line for such freedoms.

(Mrs.) Dorine Mclvor Vancouver
