Auce has contributed so willingly and freely of tire and. talem to the development and welfare of our young peoplef The "Ceilidh" is a Cultural Evening of highest quality which Magrath can be proud of. Piper Joe Brewester and Drummer Ian Hoofs both of Lethbridge, preluded the array of dancers into the School Gym. Hostesses were Lisa Haynes and Vynet Helgeson, both past students and teachers of Highland dancing. Tickets and admission were under Bernice Sillito and Marion Bourne. Pianists for thp evening were Alma. Davies and Jill Helpburn. Music co-ordinator was Shannon Sabey. Besides the 50 some students and their1 teachers who stepped lively, graciously and meticulously, the numerous dancers in their Highland costumes, Alice had several Guest Artists in attendance who performed very professionally adding even more distinction to this evening of culture. They included a trio with artists Janet Hunt, Michelle Heggie and Karen Alston. Two solos presented by the very talented Barbara Johnson; one of her numbers was a song aItca had composed for her granddaughter Loreen Stevenson; and original Samoan dances by the Heninger family of Let'abridge. Two riplight fill and truly professional numbers, which naturally were so special to Alice, and which she has just reason to oe proud of, were performed by her granddaughter Loteen Stevenson of Calgary who achieved the 1986 Alberta Highland Champion in her age group. A presentation was made during the evening honoring the most improved dancer and a trophy was presented .to Anna Victoria Bourf.ule presented to Melissa Sillito and Mary-Lou their last year in Highland. presented to thé students at the conclus- Plaques -were also Davies upon this being Certificates were ion of the evening.

Honorable James Horsman, Q.C., Attorney General, Room 320, Legislative Bldg. EEMJNTON, AB. T5K 2B6. Dear Sir: As concerned citizens, frequent highway travellers and members of an elected body, wre feel a strong obligation to convey to you the opinions and concerns of a large number of our residents regarding seat belt legislation and drunk driving laws. There is a definate correlation between these subjects; one that has not received due consideration. The rationale behind seat belt legislation is, of course, the statist­ics ‘that show the use of these belts reduce the number of injuries and death in automobile accidents. What these same statistics will also show is the high rate of involvement in these same accidents of alcohol abuse. The mandatory use of seat belts is a treat­ment directed at a symptom rather than the cause. If the Province has the power and the authority to force every man, woman and child to wear seat belts then why doesn't it have equal povrer to legis­late drunk drivers off our streets and highways? The law is far too lenient when dealing with these offend­ers. We can all site cases where drivers have been apprehended while drunk and released soon after to once again terrorize the streets. The death of a young Pincher Creek girl in Calgary as a result of an accident caused by a drunk driver is a case in point. This driver had been picked up earlier, charged with drunk driving and released into the custody of a relative. He then took to the' streets again and caused the accident that took the girl's life. rThere are many other cases involving drivers uqder suspension or just off suspension with prev­ious convictions causing accidents and the loss of life. Sentences handed out in many of these cases were not severe enough ranging from $800 fines to 90 day jail terms to be served on weekends. This scenario goes on and on with participants too often ’ being repeat offenders. Why-doesn't the Province have what it takes to pull these people off the streets and keep them off? Why can't present leg­islative changes involving mandatory seat belt use also include a mandatory 3 day jail term for those apprehended and charged with drunk driving? This jail term would be served imnediately and would insure that the driver was sober prior to being released on the unsuspecting public. To some this would seem to be a drastic solution but the problem of drinking and driving is very serious and requires drastic action. ' lb6176 is too much consideration given to the rights of the offender at the expense of the offended. We are asking for firm and immediate action on this growing problem. yours truly, Town of Magrath - Dr. J.G. Strong, Councillor.

The butcher, who had a particularily good day, proudly put his last chicken on the scale and weighed it. "That will be $2.50", he told the customer. "That really is a little too snail," replied the woman. "Don't you have anything larger?' ’ Ha wi taring:. but thinking fast, the butcher returned the cliicken to the refrigerator, paused, then took it out again. "This one," he said, "will be $3.00". The woman looked a long time at the chicken, then decided, "I'll take them both", she said.
