Dear Editor:

The recent Silver Harbour
Society’s fund raising drive
for B.C.R.1.C, shares or
other financial contributions
has Produced a promising
start for our Endowment
Fund to ensure the continued
operation of our centre.

In early 1984 the Provin-
cial Government terminated
funding for the maintenance
and operation of the Centre.

Dear Editor:
ir is almost unbelievable
that a person could be so ig-
norant as Alan Regan - (ietter
to the editor Doug and the
jugs). For a person to insult
the justification of his father
joining the ‘‘Forces
Freedom” some forty years
ago, is taking a liberty no de-
-cent thoughtful individual

> gould take. It is clear the

NCC

only

‘Dear Editor:
pe response to the letter
yblished in your paper
“January 6 by Mr. Colin M.
prown, President of the Na-
‘tional Citizens’ Coalition, he
seemed to be rather angry
- with the C.U.P.E. union and
~ their recent behavior.

My knowledge of this

jon has been good since it
‘was established ~in 1964. It
or. anizes : the, unorganized
and gives services to those
‘members, and that-is the role
of a good ‘union. ‘It is com-

“aon for C.U.P.E. to have
waiting lists to be organized

' and that is how C.ULP.E.
became the largest union in
Canada. It is a democratic
union and that fact. is
recognized by ils members.

“Just Who is- behind the Na-
tional Citizens’ Coalition?
‘And Who does it ‘really
represent?

The president of the NCC
is Colin Brown, an insurance
company executive, He has
been associated with the Lon-
don Life Insurance Com-
pany; and is or has been
director of several big cor-

' porations, including Maclean
. Hunter Cable TV; Crown
Gould Outdoor

Our board of directors ap-
proached both North Van-
couver City and District
Councils for financial
assistance.

Although this request was
successful, it was felt that the
centre should be moving in
the direction of eventual self-
sufficiency.

Through this experience,
the governing Society, service
ciubs, and business com-

freedom of speech he fought
for, you do not deserve the
right to exercise.

In a cowardly attempt to
insult Mr. Doug Collins, you
not only demeaned your
father but all other in-
dividuals who fought for
freedom but never complain.
You owe Mr. Doug Collins
an absolute apology.

munity members formed a
committee to establish a
sizeable Endowment Fund in
order to reduce the society's
financial dependence on
government funds.

The drive received support
in terms of North Vancouver,
service clubs, the business
community, the media, cen-
tre members and interested
citizeas, Although the drive
fell short of its goal, con-

tributions continue to come
in and are much appreciated.

The Silver Harbour Centre
is located at 144 East 22nd
Street, North Vancouver,
V7L 4L5, telephone
980-2474, and the public is
cordially invited to visit on
Mondays through Fridays
from 10:a.m. to 3: p.m.
to see, first-hand, the impor-
tance of its programs.

The response to our com-

y attack

For one, Mr. Alan Regan
to think he is a judge of any
one's intelligence, let alone
Journalistic ability, is absurd.
In an attempt to undermine
the clear cut, precise decision
Doug Collins clearly demon-
strated over Prof. Ridington
and the crummy crowd who
tried to question his voice of
reason, Mr. Regan, you lost
credibility.

Here are some of the other
“citizens’?. who make up or
support the NCC:

Harold P. O'Connor,
deputy chairman of Central
Trust, director of Acadia
Life Insurance Co., Phoenix
Assurance Co.,and National
Sea Products.

Alan G. Dennis, vice-
president, Monarch Life
Assurance Co.

John W. Dobson, presi-
dent of Formula Growth Ltd.
and director of Charter In-
dustries Ltd.

John D. Leitch, president,
Upper Lakes Shipping Lid.,
director of the Canadian Im-
perial Bank of Commerce,
Dominion Realty Co. and
Dofasco Inc.

Hon. E.C. Manning,
former Social Credit Premier
of Alberta, director of Steley
Inc., Melcor Development
Ltd., Manufacturers Life In-
surance Co., and Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce.

Ralph Misener, owner of
Misener Holdings Ltd.,
Misener Financial Corp., and
Ochiel Constructien Ltd.

This list of directors of the
National Citizens’ Coalition
is not complete. But is does
give us a good picture of the
coalition’s close links with
financial institutions and in-
surance companies. There are

also links between the NCC
and the Fraser Institute, the
tight-wing think-tank backed
by large Canadian and multi-
national corporations.

The NCC: doesn’t really
represent. the ordinary
citizens of Canada, but
rather the small corporate
elite that are behind the
growing assault on workers’
wages, job pensions, and
rights.

Mr. Brown stated that the
NCCreceives the majority of
its financial support from in-
dividual Canadians, Those
Canadians are very wealthy
and have control of the
financial institutions “of
Canada.

Mr. Collins showed suc-
cinetly that a higher educa-
tion is no evidence of in-
telligence, reason or judg-
ment. The acid test of
wisdom, from experience,
surely indicated Doug Collins
is a worthy citizen.”

Topic: Mutual Funds
in RRSP's

Q, I've been told that | can put mutual funds into my
RRSP. Is this a good idea?

A. First of alt, you should jook at a variety of funds, not
just those offered by a single mutual fund compnay.
(Some mutual funds are far superior to others). You
should also shop around for the best commission rates
available. Many investment dealers offer considerable
reductions with the full range of funds.

This Week’s RRSP Recommendation

is for “Growth Investment Corporation” at $14 per share

with one warrant attached. Provides ownership in 25 top

Canadian companies. No commission on purchase, regular

Brokerage Fees upon selling. Good growth potential at affor-

dable price.
