We are concerned about what the future will hold for you But even though you take yourselves far too seriously we are not without hope for your species Every fall when we pass in flocks over Utah we look down and see you in the park stopped looking up at us See you in the backyard pointing us out to your daughters and sons See your adolescents stopping their competitive games to connect with us in that deep and mysterious way they didn’t have to leam but that just comes natural arid feels so good This fall when we go over perhaps we’ll look down and wee you waving a smile on your face And we’ll sing to you and maybe your heart will swell pemaps a tear will come to your eye and yoaH know that nothing is more beautiful then Nature and that you are a part of it and yon won’t have to struggle anymore and thenyoo can let go and sing and dance and laugh and be happy and play with us Thanks again for all your kindness Jim Platte Salt Lake City incentive and has to face greater risks the drag pusher will quickly become an endangered species (not to be protected however) I would propose the following: (1) Upon establishing that a person is addicted to a drag the government should supply that drug to maintain the addiction fax of cost and with easy access (2) As soon as the addict chooses to break the addiction provide a supervised medical program to do so and dim remove them from availability to the drugs (3) Vigorously prosecute anyone that produces or distributes drags for profit I am aware that die idea of the government supplying life-raini- hi both political folly and repulsive to our sense drugs is die "in of morality But if we don't we will Live all of die same drag problems as if they were provided plus all of the crime spread of AIDS and other difficulties with no end fat sight Consider also that die drug problems are very parallel to die intolerable alcohol and bootlegger problems during the prohibition eta Bootleggers and their criminal activities disappeared overnight as will die drug h— t peddlere as quickly as the profit motive disappears Carl Howled Richmond access in case their birth control fails thus avoiding responsibility for their actions Isn’t dial 2 “There are more babies than there are couple to adopt them’’ If the wanted to help women they would work towards easing adoption 3 “Every baby bam should have an acceptable quality of life” Are they raying disabled folks are better off dead?

No aame small way we can make tilings better I hope to pass on the good things I learned from the ’60s to my daughter’ Pm old enough to remember the ’50s pretty well and I think the ’60s made a big difference The ’60s were a protest against hypocrisy — tiw land of tiw “free” where men got drafted and women wore girdles Stereotypes were different Husbands were providers and protectors wives were housekeepers and mothers Success was measured in dollars The ’60s changed things including people like McCutdwon I doubt that he went into joumausm for tiw mg bucks He may not see his job William B Spillman as a community service but as part of a media team he distributes Logan information on a local level giving people tiw knowledge they need to feel a sense of community and to lave some control over events flat Drug plan affect their lives I believe that "makes tilings better” To the editor As a father he’s drinking about teaching his daughter Was tiw A short time ago The Herald Journal ran a guest eradicated editorial typical in tiw ’50s7 1 don’t think so Such duties were kft to advocating a policy against drug users I disagree with tiw usually I believe tiw ’60s touched a lot of people with some valid ideas and conclusion on what I consider as facts listed base I my approach those ideas show in their lives even if they don’t recognize them (1) A person’s getting involved with drugs is due to a combination of complicated sociological and psychological footers predisposing muofocn them to drug use and (this is important) a drug pusher making tiw Logan drugs available and apparently desirable (2) A drag pusher’s motivation is primarily money More on abortion (3) Despite tiw morals involved and infinitely harsh laws if there are sufficient monetary rewards indiyidiiahandcriminri organisations To the editor will take tiw risk to produce and distribute drags Given the above I see little hope in reducing the drug problem The recent letters from citing what they call without first eliminating the economic incentive free no other way of “ridiculous" pro-lif-o statements set me to Prinking We have heard so wlimiwiln tfiB economic incentive other than to make drugs and drag many ludicrous it might be things from legal while kerning tiw production and illicit (Batribution very interesting to comment of a few 1 e isn’t want easy abortion illegal and vigorously enforced If tiw pusher loses both economic There is a lot of news from Panama about our problems with the tinhorn dictator Manuel Noriega and how to get rid of him The problem is not Noriega It's a treaty situation that permits this Noriega and all the future Noriegas to exist Until we correct tiw reasons we will always be waiting for a Noriega to appear and have to get rid of him I don’t know what this administration and its State Department plan in this regard I drink they better get hot and stnrimten out this situation now before turning over operation and ownership of this vital waterwav I get-tou-gh Difference!
