A pretty bizarre provincial all-candidates meeting in the Theatre the other night. Teabags being tossed around, a guy standing at attention holding a mop - mocking the candidatesp placard carriers - some hollering and anger and insults..

Through it a1 1 came an overwhelming impression of the frighteniong shal lowness of most of the candidates, and their platforms. One inescapable copnclusion is left: the " common good" they all profess to seek,will undoubtedly turn out, this time, as in the past, to be no good at all for the people of this area.

Fight for yourselves and your neighbours. And start looking among your own for a candidate to run next time. Give up on these tailor-made imports. Roll your own,or nary a whiff of Carnegie or this area will ever get to Victoria. A. M.

pa t te rns and the personal experience o f being 50c ia l outcasts themselves, tend t o have a hard t i n e a t Carnegie, and i n some cases, even pass t h e i r f r us t ra t i ons on t o our patrons--many o f whom have a1 ready been over loaded w i t h such a t t i t u d e s i n the past.

I n my opinion, those who have l i v e d the l i f e o f t h e s t ree ts , been wanderers or gypsies a t some t ime i n t h e i r past, or have i n some way 1 i ved outs ide o f conventional society--and are t o some extent, soc ia l m i s f i t s themselves are be t t e r q u a l i f i e d t o serve and communicate with, Downtown Eastsiders. Those who have learned t o be honest, r e a l human beings i n an unconventional sense--of t en through coping w i t h a se r i es o f mis-adventures are, i n my opinion, the best people t o run the Centre on a day t o d s y basis.

The ways i n which our soc ia l system f a i l s t o serve the best i n t e r e s t s o f i t s rnembers, i l l u s t r a t e t h e fac t tha t , as a society, we have neglected t o lea rn the 1 essons o f f a i lure--and where e lse can we lea rn such 1 essons, but from those who have gathered them from personal experience.

Nut only should our working s t a f f be pat ien t , humane, coritpassi onate and f a i r i n d i v i d u a l s w i t h a good sense o f humour --but they must a1 so speak the language o f the

Whenever possible, Carnegi e s t a f f should be members o f the community. But j u s t l i v i n g i n the community i s no guarantee tha t a person w i l l be humane and democratic i n t h e i r a t t i t ude . Downtown Easts iders are not sa in ts . I n fact, there are j u s t as many r ac i a1 b i g o t s and a u t h o r i t y f reaks i n t h i s community as there are i n any other.

The important t h i n g i s tha t Carnegie s t a f f rf~embers should be humane, compassionate, f a i r and i n t e l l i g e n t i n dea l ing w i t h patrons. They should a lso be pa t ien t , unusual 1 y car ing i nd i v i dua l s who take the time t o l i s t e n and respond i n a way tha t i s meaningful t o neighbourhood people.

They take the c i t y by storm l i k e a crack e l i t e . . a force s im i l a r t o the Gestapo, having a t t h e i r disposal a l l k inds o f concessions from government,

With no morals or genuine guide l i n e s the moguls t h rus t onward. I happened t o stop a t a s to re d i r e c t l y across the s t ree t from the movie being produced i n Gast own call ed The F i r s t Snow. The owner exp~unded s t vehement 1 y h i s fee l ings on Hullywcmd moguls and the way h i s business has taken a d i p rather than the increase tha t uas forecast,

The Lards o f Power say tho

The shopkeeper t o l d me how people from the movie set would come i n and shut o f f . h is juke box. I cannot p r i n t t he words he used t o descr ibe the rancorous hordes o f g l i t t e r , but my personal views o f Srnut Land have not changed. Movi es are

noth ing more than a land o f b u l l s h i t . . Hollywood a c~nglamorous crock. . . Power, sex, murder, mayhem, drugs.
