All such floodlights should be checked by their own- era. If they are not, they should be checked by the police. There is an offending floodlight on the front of a business establishment on Weber Street North, between University Avenue and Columbia Street. One such offending floodlight in the past was the one which lit the front of the Kitchener PUC hydro shop on King Street West. Its glow could be very dis- tracting to west-bound motorists: Some floodlights on church lawns, particularly corner locations, can be very distracting. But such floodlights can be a safety hazard, too. If they are not aimed or shielded properly, they can hit motorists in the eyes, momentarily blinding them to pedestrians and other traffic. " More and more .of our public buildings, churches, factories and businesses are being flood-lit. This not only extends their attractiveness around the clock, but is a definite cOntribution to safety and to prevention of crime, facts much appreciated by nightr-patrolling police. Bee that peace comes to Nigeria with as little more suffering as possible. As we said, it all depends on your point of view. Right now the nations of the world have a wonderful Opportunity to forget their own points of view and In Canada, the separatists want Quebec’s freedom. Most people in the rest of Canada oppose such a move, but few would admit they have trelfish motives, such as a fear of losing Quebec's great wealth of land, pow- er and minerals. The people of the Republic of Ireland look on North- ern Ireland, which has remained in the British Com- monwealth, as a key part, economically and socially, of Ireland held in bondage by a British army of occupa- tion. Some residents of Northern Ireland share this view, while those loyal to Britain obviously have a dif- ferent view. It is this difference that is creating “the troubles," as the Irish call them. There are parallel situations many places in the world. Two that come quickly to mind, because! of re- pent troubles, are Ireland and Canada. The Biafrans fought a war of swession because they believed that the federal Nigerians fully intended the genocide of the Ibo tribes. The Nigerians fought to keep Biafra within its boundaries largely for economic reasons. Whether coincidental or deliberate, the part of Nigeria the Biafrans chose to secede was the rich- est, largely due to oil deposits. Most Canadians, regardless of government policy of appearing neutral, seemed to side with the~Biafrans in their war for independence. Britons, on the other hand, sided with federal Nigeria. _ . But no%atter which side they backed, the nations of the world have little to be proud of in what they did to relieve a tragic situation, in which an estimated 2,000,000 died over about 30 months. '. Canadians, working through Canairelief, a volunteer Organization organized ehiefly by the churches, did apply considerable food and medical supplies. But our national image is hardly enhanced by the fact the Canadian government’s $2,250,000 offer of aid, to be, shared by both sides came within just a few days of the end of conflict. Secessionist: patriot or traitor? It all depends ok which side of the line you’re on. If you view from afar off a conflict such as is jud; ending in Nigeria, your view may be influenced by many factors, but it may or may not be any clearer. g: “Mp-mama- -e.eeoCr-vir-tvratrwarr-.nasvt-.e ,rttreroeoe1s1e..*6iruii"tc"riiiei.iicTt"'i'itars, -'h'"-"t"teruoiam.waf_iariiiiFiii' Ptti1m-rtaathertord,editetr tAlBsCrt8PrioNrtA'rtttt 'atCanadn:o-tttiinunitedstates and famign countries: one you $10 .-rteroethec-roeeeivtasnrsparerAa, aaHtheootar%WeeAt, NewspaperAuocia Two points of haunted "" intuodllights Shines shot the ace on the 188. yard 17th hole using a one iron.
