Dear Editor:
I find it exciting to knowso

many people want to see my"

philosophy.

As past president of my
own company and a suc-
cessful new home
“salesperson (I wouldn't sell
used) for various developers
in B.C. and Alberta, I
worked in the guts of the
‘Free’ Enterprise System.
There I learned what
hypocrisy and amorality
were all about.

My dedication to the
community is revitalized
every day. Every day that I
work as a tenant and
community advocate, I_ am
faced with some-new outrage
‘perpetrated by hypocritic
right-wing advocates. My
personal case load is over 50
cases and if it wasn’t for the
incredible support I get from
unpaid volunteers, I couldn't

Dear Editor:

As one who was very
involved in the recent
municipal elections, I would
like to share Ms. H.
Overett’s concern over the
political backing of various
candidates.

I suspect because of the
McCarthy “witch-hunt” of
the 50s, we are
very reluctant to be accused
of doing the same thing. I
believe this fear is causing us
to deny there may be some
amongst us who.e@re running
on behalf of the Communist
Party. —

We have been conditioned
to consider ourselves as
paranoid if we think there
may be “Reds under the

that ‘I know I “am’* only
dealing. with the tip of the
iceberg and so’ many. un-
defended people are doing
without the: help that . they

I and my fellow - _running-
mate’s tremendous success
at the polls after only six
months of community work
is a good indicator of what is
to come and we thank our
supporters.

I have a major problem. to
deal with out of the election.
Most of my community
knows of the unsigned hate
literature that was being
distributed by some can-
didates arid some public and
financial institutions. Legal
counsel advises me that I
have an excellent case for
malicious libel.

What I have to decide is
whether my community

Communists are alive, well,

Vancouver. ‘They are also
very cunning, and it is this
fear of paranoia that they
take advantage of.

I believe that in a true
democracy there is room for
all political beliefs, however,
I will fight ‘like. hell any

Party to gain control on any

Provincial Election.

The real issues of the
campaign were well ar-
ticulated by most of the
candidates. One of us was
obviously. run just to
viciously attack those who
might upset the Status Quo
apple cart. The Davis
Machine was partially
geared up and the Status
Quo was maintained.

The fascinating aspect of
the campaign is the concern
some of the distributors and
supporters of the unsigned
hate literature purported to
have for my party affiliation.
Typically, they offered no
party flags of their own.

If our community wanted
that, they would vote for

party flags.

some of whom have causes
which are very appealing to
the public. An example of
the use of, and violence that
can occur by the use of these
groups is the recent racial

clashes in Vancouver.
The election, thank
heaven, is now over, the

battle has just begun. I hope
that the voters of North
Vancouver will come out of
their apathetic state and
become aware of the
political situation on the
North Shore.

Dear Editor: .

In response to “Let
candidates show their true
colors!” I agree. I think
candidates should show their
true colors, especially the
Nazi’s and those associated
with the Klan, because I
don’t think those types are
good candidates. The same
with Liberals too. This is
Conservative country, out
west, and we wouldn't want
to vote in a Liberal by
mistake.

Of course Conservative
candidates should step
forward also. We want to
separate those ones from
Socreds who should also step
forward for fhose who

_ formally vote NDP and at

times support the Liberals
because they dislike Con-
servatives who can aso be a
