The Wizard
Sir, — Either every citizen, which includes the five wizards, obeys the law or pays a penalty. If this does not happen, the law is brought into contempt. Injustice is done to the lawkeepers. The lawbreakers become defiant and encourage others to follow their example. The Wizard has thumbed his nose at the law. Whether supported by the State or existing without visible means of support, he is bound to obey. By his arrogant behaviour, he decides which laws to keep and which to break. The Council should show its disapproval of that behaviour. These days we do not need this man’s peculiar contributions to the life of the city nor his incitement to break the law. — Yours, etc., V. H. ANDERSON. April 2, 1981.
Sir,—l have just sat down to write an indignant letter of protest about the article written by the Wizard (“The Press,” April 2), but I have turned into a frog.—Yours, etc., JIM THOMAS. April 2, 1981.
