A

pretty bizarre provincial all-candidates meeting in t h e Theatre t h e other night. Teabags b e i n g tossed around, a guy standing at attention holding a mop - mocking t h e candidatesp placard carriers - s o m e hollering and anger and insults.. Through it a1 1 c a m e an overwhelming impression of t h e frighteniong shal lowness of most o f the candidates, and their platforms. O n e inescapable copnclusion is left: t h e " common good" they all profess t o seek,will undoubtedly turn out, t h i s time, a s in t h e past, t o b e n o good at all for t h e people of this area. Fight for yourselves and your neighbours. And start looking among your own for a candidate t o run next time. Give up on these tailor-made imports. Roll your own,or nary a whiff of Carnegie or t h i s area will ever get t o Victoria. A. M.

I n my o p i n i o n , t h o s e who have l i v e d t h e l i f e o f the streets, been wanderers or g y p s i e s a t some t i m e i n t h e i r past, or have i n some way 1ived o u t s i d e o f c o n v e n t i o n a l society--and are t o some extent, social misfits themselves are better qualified to serve and communicate w i t h , Downtown Eastsiders. Those who have l e a r n e d t o be honest, real human beings i n an unconventional sense--of t en through coping w i t h a s e r i e s o f mis-adventures are, i n my opinion, t h e best people t o r u n t h e C e n t r e on a day t o d s y basis. The ways i n which our s o c i a l system f a i l s t o serve t h e best interests of i t s rnembers, i l l u s t r a t e the fact that, as a s o c i e t y , we have neglected to learn the 1essons o f f a i lure--and where else can we learn such 1 essons, b u t from t h o s e who have gathered them from p e r s o n a l experience. Nut o n l y should our working staff be p a t i e n t , humane, coritpassi onate and fair i n d i v i d u a l s w i t h a good sense o f humour --but t h e y must a1 so speak the language o f the .,-,nl ; >&-C-( -I , 4 . 1 . - : .-

But just l i v i n g i n t h e community i s no guarantee t h a t a person w i l l b e humane and democratic in their attitude. Downtown Eastsiders are not saints. In fact, there are j u s t as r ac ia1 bigots and many authority freaks in this community as t h e r e a r e i n any other. The i m p o r t a n t t h i n g i s t h a t Carnegie s t a f f rf~embersshould be humane, compassionate, fair and intelligent in dealing with patrons. They should also be patient, unusual 1y c a r i n g individuals who take t h e time t o listen and respond i n a way t h a t i s meaningful t o neighbourhood people.
