Page §&, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, September 10, 1986 War games inspire pro and con letters to editor Dear Editor: I would like to offer an opinion on the front-page story concerning the '"'War Games."' I'll start by agreeing with the reader whose let- ter appeared in last week's edition of the News. She mentioned role models. An important factor. Children have enough to contend with when grow- ing up in a world the way it is now. These children are the only hope the world has of surviving. It's ob- vious the adults haven't Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I would like to comment on the letter you published in the Sept. 10 issue re- garding your photograph titled "Pow pow."' If our children's lives are influenced by an article about adults playing a modernized game of cow- boys and indians, I feel that the parents of those child- ren are neglecting their responsibility as parents.

Or better yet, why not let them take their '*guns" and shoot up a church? Wouldn't that be "*fun"? These situations may sound a little farfetched, fresh air. Participants are getting a good dose of ex- ercise. Friends are enjoy- ing the companionship of friends. All this is great. More power to them. But war? A bit unhealthy, wouldn't you say? Why not have target practice? Or an Army-type obstacle where they prac- tice running, climbing, and shooting for points. You get the same activity in these two suggestions as you do in "'War Games."' And it's less dangerous than being anxious in the bush with the feeling of be- ing sought after edging you on. I'm sure there will be several people disagreeing with me, among things. I show a true side to this so- called "game," and it's one that we should all con- sider. A. Collins Schreiber, Ontario but that's what has happen- ed recently in our world. War games.
