Dear Editor:

Iread with amusement the
rather hysterical letter from
Mr. Hugh Clifford regarding
Bill C-51 and the stand taken
against it by the B.C.
Federation of Shooting
Sports and other Provincial
and National organizations

for Hunters, Target Shooters -

and Arms Collectors.

Mr. Clifford appears to be
particularly offended by the
originator of the circular, Mr.

Martinoff, not trusting politi-
cians. In this respect I-would
suggest that Mr. Martinoff is
in agreement with the

majority of Canadians few of

whom have any great faith in
politicians, if recent polls are ©
to be believed.

Mr. Clifford also finds
something sinister in the
claim to a ‘‘right to bear

- arms’’. The word bear means
to carry or wear from the Old
English word ‘“‘beran’’ and I
have searched both diction-
ary and thesaurus without

ed

success to find a more
ominous meaning.

- My right to own and use
guns is neither greater nor
less than that of Mr. Clifford
to own and. use his fishing
rods, but I can assure Mr.
Clifford that, should a ‘‘Save
the Salmon’’ campaign result
in similar legislation being
proposed to limit his free-
doms all those who value
liberty would rally to his aid.

Dear Editor:

Last Thursday evening I
attended the second of four
concerts being presented. for
us on the North Shore by the
recently formed SYMPHON-
IE CANADIANA, Vancou-
ver’s Summer Professional
Symphony Orchestra, and
thoroughly enjoyed it. How-
ever, I was amazed that more
people did not attend, for
how often have I heard
remarks like ‘‘I love music,
but hate going over to
Vancouver! If only we could
have a Symphony Orchestra
on the North Shore, it would
be so nice, etc., etc.’’

Now we have our own.

symphony orchestra, but
what happened? Few people
were there to encourage and
support the players and
conductor.

I know we have had an
unexpected spell. of hot

weather, but these concerts.

‘are in the evening and allow
one time to have dinner and
still get to the theatre on
time. Years ago, the Vancou-

ver Symphony Orchestra

used to play in Malkin Bowl
in Stanley Park, but some-
times the weather was not
too cooperative, and people

-did not want to sit in the rain,

even to listen to good music.

You do not have to worry
about weather in the Centen-
nial Theatre, and you do not
have to ‘‘Cross Over The
Bridge’’. But, we must
support the players and

conductor. The players are.

all professionals, and the
conductor is the enthusiastic
and talented Yondani Butt,
and if we do not support and
encourage them, we may
lose them, as we have lost

- concert dates

other artists in the past,
because they did not receive
the encouragement they
should have had to stay here.

Iam writing this letter now
to give your readers time to
put the remaining two
‘on their
calendar, and to plan on
attending them, hopefully. I
feel sure they will not be
disappointed, and perhaps
the musicians will plan more

concerts for us. .

Can a fungicide really help

reduce the odds of an
airplane developing engine
problems?

Yes, says Al Tomlin, a
pesticide ecologist at the
Agriculture Institute in Lon-
don, Ont. While studying the
effects of Benomyl (a fungi-
cide often used in apple
orchards to control powdery
mildew) on the environment,
Tomlin found it killed earth-
worms.

They cause the aviation
industry all sorts of problems
by invading runways after it
rains. Some planes actually
slide when landing on these
slippery creatures. The juicy
worms also attract hungry
birds who sometimes have
the misfortune of being
sucked into jet engines,
frequently inflicting exten-
sive damage.

Early tests show that
applying Benomyl on a
100-foot-wide strip along
runways, at a cost of $32 an
acres, greatly reduces both
the number of worms and
bird strikes. Tomlin is now
checking to see if this

treatment causes any ad-

verse effects.

“None has been identi-
fied so far. We know there is
no toxic buildup in birds that
cat poisoned worms, "* he
says.
