Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

fhe Hawk's many friends in the industry and at the same time help a deserving charity...Good luck!

So where are you planning to pop your cork on the big night? Foden the dog and The Hawk are torn between two options: heading for the bright lights and letting the bubbly run free with the throng on the streets of London; or nipping down the local hostelry for a few pints of foaming ale and then back in front of the telly to hear the chimes of Big Ben while cupping a wee dram of something warming.

Yes, the next millennium is

almost upon us, but before then there is a much more pressing event. The Hawk's Christmas Bonanza marks not only the end of the year, but the end of the century, in which for all but five years Commercial Motor has graced the shelves of the nation's newsagents.

As always, The Hawk's great mates in the industry have shown themselves to have hearts of gold and have rallied round with lots of goodies to fill your festive stockings.

This year CM is supporting Amnesty International, the cam paigning organisation founded in 196r by British lawyer Peter Benenson after he read about two Portuguese students who had been sentenced to seven years imprisonment for raising their glasses in a toast to freedom.

Amnesty

Today Amnesty International campaigns worldwide to promote general awareness of human rights and to oppose specific abuses of them. This year, to mark the loth anniversary of the ratifying of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Amnesty International is running a major campaign, "Your War, Our Lives!". It will focus on protecting children's rights and in particular will look at the violations children are exposed to in armed conflicts.

As another millennium beckons, it would be uplifting to go forward together into a time when the basic human rights of all people in this world were respected. That might be some way off yet, but in the meantime we can do our bit to make it a better place to live and all raise our

glasses in a toast to freedom! 0
