Dear Editor:

[fail to see the significance of having young women in bathing suity taking over halt of @ page in our focal paper.

Yes, we know that 750 of the businesses on the North Shore ire headed by the male

gender, but don't kid yourself if you think they have the time to Iook in your paper, let alone even think to advertise in it.

The same goes with other businesses as with yours — women are in charge of the sales/marketing, classifieds and promations and we feel that this Sunshine Girl stuff lacks decorum.

The bottom line is that the News has always been for the community — about the com- munity. Focus on pride, both in ourselves as human beings and pride for this wonderful place we cal] home.

Leave the tacky format out — stop the insanity!

Dear Editor:

On Frdas. Sept 30, the North Shore News Zap! page really capped te,

The single articles a moviy review entitled “Murderers given top bill,” drew my eye to this page which is directed to youth.

The young reporter, Sean Frith, indicated near the beginning of his Fetter that he believes director Oliver Stone is “sick of the blood- thirsty media.”

Why then produce such a bloud- thirsty movie? Will all who view it be as astute as Frith and pick upon the film-maker'’s intentions, if in fact this is a social comment and not just anovher way to bring in big bucks?

What distressed me the most is that Frith recommended this film

unless one is disturbed by scenes of

gratuitous graphic violence,

Are there that many people who are not disturbed by such scenes? What does this suggest?

I will never see this film because | am one of those rare crea- tures who is disturbed by violence whether it be on the screen or on

the street But tere than diat. 1 refitse fo support se fifi chat fosters the contiogamec ol its Kind of behas ior in our seciety,

When are we going to siarten up?

We support violence int fills. on television, our choice of tays and gitmes, ever in the images On some clothing,

And yet when someone ts mur: dered ita convenience store, beat: en up at schoel or assaulted by a farnily member. ve gasp and won- der how it could happen. We will continue to receive the energy we putout,

If we want to five ina peaceful world, where children can walk to school safely, where women and men feel secure in the streets and in their homes, where joy and love are the norpt rather than fear and hatred, we must start bringing posi- live values into every aspect of our lives.

We must start creating the vision of a peaceful world by bring- ing peace into everything we do, Pegey Stortz Horseshoe Bay
