Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, October 15, 1986, page 5 Reagan is off base on arms race, editor says continued from page 4 To answer what must be your next question, no, I don't have all of the answers myself. I realize that we can't trust the Soviets, but then, we can't trust the Yankees either... remember Reagan's recent disinfor- mation campaign regarding Libya. He lied to the world, and nobody seems to care! But back to Gorbachev and his crew...I agree, they can't be trusted. For example, I'm sure that it has already occured to the Soviets that their request to eliminate all nuclear missiles in Europe would, as a result, make any future Russian invasion of Europe that much easier and cleaner, with no real fear of a nuclear reprisal from America. Too bad, then, that trust has to start somewhere. Somebody has to take that first step. After all, no matter what their real intentions may be, I'm pretty sure the Russians don't want to die. This insane arms race must Rossport Report stop, now. A bilateral AMB (Anti- Ballistic Missile) treaty should be signed immediately. Then, in time, there could even be a gradual arms reduction. Thing is, none of this will happen while Reagan is in office. What the Canadian government should do now, then, is prepare for 1988 and the next President. Our Prime Minister (who had the good sense to avoid getting involved in Star Wars) should now be ready to en- dorse an ABM treaty and be willing to assist in any future negotiations between the USA and the USSR. You see, this is the most important issue facing us today. Make no mis- take about it. It's fine to save the whales and all, but why waste time and money doing that when there may not be.a planet for them (and us!) to live on? Remember, a nuclear holo- caust could come at any time (or have we already forgotten the Cuban miss- ile crisis?). The time to act is now.

EE OS EERE THOR By Anne Todesco Stealing--just what is the meaning or definition of the word stealing? The Webster's New World Dict- ionary, second edition, states that the meaning of stealing is to rob, take goods and property belonging to others. That eight-lettered word has many definitions, yet it all reverts back to robbing. (1) A person could use ideas that someone else had proposed and stat that it was his or her brain thought. (2) Dishonesty in filing claims to creating certain rules, benefits, and regulations that another had suggested --that is stealing. (3) Unlawfully taking articles from place of employment, such as stamps, note paper, brooms, bulbs, etc.--to add an excuse to salve their guilty conscience, such people say "Oh, they have lots of money and will never miss it." (4) Secretly--an underhanded way to taking things that they do not own. That is stealing too. (5) Slyly--taking something by sneaky, ingenious or clever ways. (6) To gain something through clever plans. (7) To be a thief and move stealth- ily in areas not allowed. (8) To lie steals one's character. (9) Pilfering everything possible, from money to articles. (10) Blackmailers gain money by threatening. (11) Lifting, swiping, pinching an article or money--all describe the word stealing. (12) Destroying a person's char- acter. (13) Neglecting to pay debts is another form of stealing. (14) A child disgracing a parent and being jailed. He or she may be in jail, but the ones who actually serve the sentence are the grieving parents. They suffer for a lifetime because their offspring grew up into a selfish, lazy and dishonest person. That is a serious form of stealing-- taking away the parents' peace of mind and character and causing them to hang their heads in shame. (15) Eating foods that are for- bidden. (16) There are many definitions for the word stealing--income tax loop- holes that the wealthy people can use to escape paying taxes while the working man dare not overlook a clause or omit listing some small ear- ning and is fined. That is a form of stealing in my way of thinking, when the rich can escape paying taxes. (17)No matter how one reads bet- ween the lines, it is all stealing, whether from the government, work- ing man, parents, churches, stores, taxes, or from friends.
