Dear Editor:

Currently there is much interest
in British Columbia around the
Haida and other land claims and
the peace issue with walks and
conferences in many communities.

These two issues are merging
together in the problems low level
test flights by NATO air forces are
causing for the Innu, the native
people of Labrador and nor-
theastern Quebec. This is par-
ticularly of interest in British Col-
umbia, in the light of the report on

CBC Radio in late March, that a°

series. of low level military test
flights were to begin in a north-

~ south direction across British Col-

umbia, :

As a result of increasing com-
plaints from the West German
public over low flying aircraft,
NATO is looking at establishing a
Tactical Fighter Weapons Centre

Military test flights over B.C.

in Labrador or in Turkey.

Preliminary tests by the German
Luftwaffe and the RAF have since
1979 severely disrupted hunting
camps and game migration pat-
terns. The jets fly so low as to rip-
ple Jakes and cause trees to sway.
They have flown directly over fam-
ily hunting camps for practice.

For example, Penote Apatet
Andrew Sheshatshit testified that
on September 10, 1984: ‘‘The kids
were playing outside the tent at our
camp on the shores of
Penepuapisknipu. All of a sudden
two Luftwaffe Phantom jets flew
right over the tent. We could not
hear them coming. They were
about 200 feet above the ground.
The children started to cry. The
noise was very loud indeed.’’

The noise, on occasion, can be
so loud as to be painful to adults
and cause them to fall to the

‘YES’ FOR DISPOSAL SYSTEM

Racoons cheer

new trash cans

Dear Editor: -

1 am writing to you on behalf of
the raccoon population in the
Blueridge area concerning the new
.green garbage cans.

‘Being’ a regular reader of the

‘North Shore News (since it’s usual- |

ly: ‘wrapped around the most tasty
food in:-the: receptacles) I was
prompted to write to you thanking
whoever is responsible for fantastic
new cans.

‘At first the catch on the cans
gave us a little trouble, but before
long we had our method perfected.

You see, we climb onto the regu-
lar garbage cans, undo the catch,
lift the lid, and climb right into the
can. We then. eat to our: hearts’
content, and when we're done, we

“climb back out and replace the lid.
Not. only does this save us from
knocking over four garbage cans .

“to get to the same amount of food,

‘but it.also saves‘you humans: the:

‘trouble ‘of cleaning up the garbage

that we: cused to ‘have | fo: “kaock :

over. “
Thank . you: for: ‘the ‘Superb. in-.

novation and‘ ‘consider the’ rac-

coons’ vote for the new disposal

system a ‘‘yes’’.

Dear Editor:

Regarding Give Bleeding Hearts

News May 2,

People seem to have the idea all}
welfare recipients are ‘‘bums’’,
i.e.: winos, drug addicts. I’m a
mother who wae abused sexually,
physically, mentally and emo-

because of that abuse I never asked
for but was given (free of charge).

After being sexually molested as
a child I. kecame. a_ teenage
runaway only to end up with a vio-
Ient man who gave me black eyes
when he felt like it; pulled‘ ‘my hair

from his punches along with men-

ing.

But the sad part was no one
cared enough to help me out of
that violent situation which I near-
ly ended up murdered in. And then
people say they are footing the bill.

Thanks to Human Resources
and its social workers, myself and
other womer like me have now
gained some self-respect which we
once lost because of abuse. '

Human Resources is not there
for a “‘free ride’ but to help vic-
tims of abuse. And I say its, about
time someone cared. So if you feel
you're footing the bill you’re foot-
