Birth control colurmn astounds reader

Dear Editar:

Bob Hunter’s column of July 16
astounds me. I’m sure if he re-read
his copy he would have deleted his
statement that birth control is so
efficient we need not worry about
the population explosion.

Does he know about the relative

NURSES’ STRIKE

Barbecue in

Dear Editor:

The barbecue hosted by the ad-
ministrators of the Lions Gate
Hospital on the parking tot on
Friday, July 7 (see North Shore
News, July 12) was an insult to
those residents and patients who
looked on, after enduring two
weeks of peanut butter sandwiches
and apple sauce during the strike.

Beware of
coyctes

Dear Editor:

’] want to warn animsi iovers
that coyotes are once again in evi-
dence in the Eagleridge/Gleneagles
area of the North Shore.

On July 6 around 9 p.m. we had
a large, mangy-looking coyote on
the rocks just behind our house.
Only minutes before a raccoon (a
nursing mother) had been asleep
on the same recks with one of our
cats close by. (They both fied up
the nearest tree, we discovered
later.)

Since the incident we have plac-
ed a curfew on our felines and they
are kept in the house from & p.m.
to 7 a.m. We can only hope the
coyotes sleep in the daytime.

that women in many countries
which are growing so quickly are
told not to use birth control,
leading to poverty and misery?
Access to abortion is necessary if
only to remedy failed birth control
methods. With recent astounding

‘bad taste’

Hospital president Robert Smith
served up 900 pounds of salmon at
taxpayers’ expense to please LGH
striking employees, all before any
agreement was ratified.

It is amazing the money that can
be found in hospital budgets, such
as hospital managers drawing a
$1,000 bonus from university hos-
pitals for working during the
strike.

And they continue to tell us
“there is no more money in the
pot.’”
