, During the coming term of duty for the new Itouneil, boards and commissions, the sitting members Neill undoubtedly face a group of irate citizens who do not like or appreciate what is being done. The chances will be 85 out of a 100 that these citizens groups will be composed of persons who -did not bother to vote, but they will certainly never admit to that fact. Per- haps it is time that we adopted a fine for non-voters, as it is, those elected have a clear mandate from the majority of citizens to do nothing for the next two years. Fortunately for the people they will work hard and do as good a job as possible. _ , Again we congratulate the victors and look for- Ward, with interest, to covering your activities. The three main issues we have taken from your campaign promises are-more efficient city planning-the ex- tension of our cross-town bus service - a closer look at the workings of the Chamber of Commerce parti- cularly in respect to acquiring more industry.

This has happened before with comic strips. A friend of mine who grew up in Southern India used to read to her family the papers in which her father "brought home the groceries. Each week she read to them the tragic story of "Bringing up Father?'. Each week the women shook their heads at the antics of Maggie and the men sympathized with poor Jiggs and thanked their gods that life was better in In. dia. E For years this cartoon strip was invaded every home in .1 Vorth America; each Christmas ‘itue books about 'Peanirts and sompany crowd the agave: of mokstores.

In "The Gospel According to Peanuts" the teavhings of Jesus, the writ. ings ot Kirkegaard and the ten- ets of Lichtenstein are illumin- ated with examples from the cartoon strip. Peanuts is hailed as art. You will observe‘that Lucy, Snoopy or Linus are either facing each other, facing the same direction, or looking in opposite directions. Peanuts it, hailed as poetry.
