You haven't mentioned nearly all the "quality" spots where serv/re rather than decor is in evidence. Editor Dear Editor, 'I and you don't see many nelly types there at oil. The Gays tend to be flighty and patronize one bar over the other for silly or unknown reasons ignoring quality as they fly from bar to bar. The sad result appears to be that we are well on our woy to losing our finest gay places from lack of support. M an agement ha s be en interested in getting more bus iness, but have been deplorable in some of their actions and lack of actions. As flighty as most gays are, even the most staunch customers are not going to put up with some of management's abuses. A bar fly whos bit. Dear Bit Barfly - It might be a matter of Scene 1 had seventeen arrests the 22nd of May which was actually at 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Two plainclothesmen came in, sealed the door, and searched everythi ng and everybody. All personal I.D- checked, employees all had health cards, all licenses were in order. The owner was confident that everything was in good order as he hod compl ied with every regulation. He stopped serving by 2 on the clock and took away at 2:15. At least they thought they had. The fire department had been in the day before asking them to remove the rear exit sign. This the manager did the same day he was asked to do so. The power was switched off to do this as a result the clock lost time. The police called the paddy wagons and hauled seventeen to jail, charging them with consuming or serving after hours. While this was probably not harrassment for being a Gay bar, the morality of these policemen deserves a more than casual examination, because they were dead wrong. Is it not part of their oath of office to prevent crime and violations of the law? While ignorange of the law is no excuse these customers at the bar would have preferred to not break the law and deserved to have been given the chance. Here is a victimless crime. Here are two policemen standing by idly and encouraging the consumption by their permissiveness and the clock wrong. What kind of respect for the law does the public get from th i s sort of treatment from the police? The police in an orderly society are to be asked for help rather than to be feared by law abiding citizens. I hope that these arrest- ies fight this case in court, win, get the arrest records distroyed, get an apology, and get the two policemen disci i- plined with a lowered rank. Lucky regular customer Out of Town Dear Out, It is part of the managements job to protect his customers os well as bis license. The ball has been dropped or I misunderstand your letter. Scene 1 has had a bad clock for some time — "so we are told". Do you really feel that the police are at fault here? Just hope management paid the tab for the paddy ride - neglence - .'/.'
