Dear Editor:

The recent unfortunate
house fires in West Van-
couver, which were so ex-

cellently handled by the Fire
Department, brings some
points forceably forward.

1. House sprinkler systems
are now. available at a very
moderate price compared to

Dear Editor:

It is more than a little
frightening to see the attitude
of the liberal/left writers who
are so afraid of your
publishing Doug Collins’s ar-
ticles. As he so accurately
points out in some of his re-
eent columns, these people
are the type who think that
free speech 1s wonderful pro-
vided everyone who speaks
agrees with them.

But C.

Dear Editor

In a free and democratic
society, editors of
newspapers must be forever
conscious of the reasonable
limits of the mghts and
treedoms of the press.

To continue printing ar-
tucles In your newspaper
which permit an individual to
incite hatred and abuse on
any member or group of
society cannot be condoned.

Qur democratic society has
laws, which must be obeyed,
that reasonably limit = our
freedom of movement,
speech and public behaviour

previously and are an ex-
cellent protection against
house fires; they are a good
investment; they reduce your
insurance rates and | recom-
mend that citizens in new and
old houses consider their in-
stallation most seriously.

2. Street numbers on the
property line in large 4-6”’

Their attempts to try to 1n-
timidate you and your paper
are offensive and disgusting.
| hope you resist the pressure;
I am sure that for every one
of them there are two or three
others who enjoy Collins’s
articles and find him to be a
stimulating, humorous and
interesting writer, even if
they don’t agree with
everything he says.

I suspect you will find that

letters either illuminated or
translucent are most
desirable. So many homes
have litth numbers obscured
by bushes and trees that the
task of emergency vehicles of
Fire, Police and ambulance
in locating houses speedily in
quite difficult.

3. While the concerned

most of those who profess to
be offended by Collins’s
views understand in their
hearts that he is often cor-
rect. They fear him because
they are into the public social
welfare activist/interven-
tionist trough, and they are
worried that Collins may be
one of the catalysts which
ultimately derails the public
money gravey train.

Rarely do any of them ever
