Cancer deaths high in H. Sound

Dear Editor:

According to researcher John
Spinelli at The Cancer Research
Centre in Vancouver, (in his newly
released report), the District of
Howe Sound rates as number one
in B.C. for lung cancer deaths in
both males and females. —

I wonder what prompts Ms.
Marylou McDonald to write such
ignorant letters? The only issue at
hand (and ‘‘a fact,’’ according to
the ministry of environment) is
that the Canadian Forest Products
Howe Sound Pulp Mill at Port
Mellon has not met the B.C. pollu-
tion standards for the emission of
toxic gases and particulate matter
since receiving its permit in 1978.

It continues to spew out poisons
far above permitted levels, and has
not fulfilled its obligations ordered
by the minister of environment.

“The fact” is, we have put up
with their odors and irritants, and
with their blatant disrespect for
our waste management laws for far
too long.

But, ‘‘in fact,’ we aren't going

Christians
march to

a different

drummer

Dear Editor:

Well, well, well, what have we
now? Doug Collins as a latter-day
prophet, thundering forth in the
North Shore wilderness, not only
telling the churches what they
should do, but also making state-
ments about what church people
believe. :

Of course he can’t understand
the motivation of anyone who
doesn’t fit into’ his rigid little
mind-set. Echoes of the British
Empire, circa 1890!

The news is, Doug, that Chris-
tians march to a different drum-
mer. We do not think of people in
terms of labels: pansies, Sikhs,
Orientals, blacks, feminists or even
WASPs; we think in terms of in-
dividuals who have needs and who
also have talents and qualities of
their own to contribute.

You won't influence the chur-
ches by haranguing them from
your cosy corner at the North
Shore News, Doug. Why don’t you
come on in and find out what goes
on from the inside?
