Dear Editor:

. The letter in the January 18
North Shore News by Mr.
G.L. Ainscough regarding
Meares Island presents cer-
tain facts in such a manner as
to mislead readers.

While correct in stating
that MacMillan Bloedel has
timber rights to only 36 per
ceat of the island, the addi-
tion of B.C. Forest Products
tights bring the area to be
logged up to 53 per cent.

tals could be dropped after
