north shore news _______ MATL Box Bugged and bagged out Dear Editor: Still bagged cut? What's this world coming to? Who's to profit from the recent “glad bag revival?” With some 20,000 homes in the North Vancouver District alone, that translates into approximately 240,000 toxic plastic bags (average, three bags per home per weekly pickup) incinerated cach month! Oh yes, the incinerators have “scrub- bers.” Who scrubs the scrubbers? What when they’re full? Where does the toxic sludge go? into “organic tertilizer?” In this way, the district “works toward its goal of land fill reduction!” (Out of the shower into the rain.) Let’s not buy into this “pollution soiu- tion™ which really is saluting polluting! Moreover, let’s have a “fawn law”: Want a lawn? Be a “responsible lawn owner” and have a grass clipping bin, box, hole or mound in a litte corner of your back yard. You’ll save money and reap rewards of rich top soil and compost dress- ing for your Jawn! C.

These documents were single- handedly responsibie for prolong- ing the Second World War. If Goebbels ever was given a gift on a platter those were it. To the best of my knowledge, acither of those items are on the prohibited list of Canadian Customs. Maybe a short course on hate literarure should be given to our guardians at our frontiers, after all, they cannot be expected to be competent in deciding what is and what is not hate literature. Mr. Goldhagen’s book: Hitler's Willing Executioners is out and out hate against the German people, yet it can be bought freely in any book store.
