can hardly believe the provincial govern-
ment’s new welfare regulations starting
-April 1 where assistance will be denied
unless your credit is exhausted.
Today’s question Is:

Should the gov't |
withhold welfare until
your credit is
exhausted?”’

Paul Sidsworth
Bowen Island

I do not think it is a
good idea for people on
welfare to exhaust their
credit cards. How could
they possibly make their
payments? I would say the
provincial government is
going too far.

Anna Rider

: This idea is very unfair.
. Many people would not
want to use their credit
cards because they could
not make the payments
while on welfare. f realize

“that a few people abuse

“welfare, but getting
hopelessly in debt will not

help the situation. {¢ will

ruin your credit rating.

Ric Olmsted 7
North Vancouver

Fundamentally, it 1s
wrong for the government
to force people into debts
they cannot pay back

Heten Timmins
North Vancouver

~

With the high interest
rates of credit cards, how
will people on welfare
make them payments’
This idea will not help

people only burt them

| When You Hear
the Crunch,
Call Crash Pad.

I think | have finally figured out the very essence of what I have
been trying to say over three years of flapping my jaw every Sun-
day. It came to me in a blinding flash — the whole ball of wax
culled down into one, perfect sentence. Talk about cosmic relief.
you see it there, blazing across the top of the column...what could
be more simple? What I want you to think of after you fee! that
grinding crunch of metal on metal, are these words —- Crash Pad.

Two Little Phone Calls, Dept.

There are two ways to go about it. If you get crunched and ICBC
is going to take care of tt, call the tow truck and it will all happen
for you. Then call us. We'll help ease the pain, a little spiritual
morphine, if you will. If you crunch somedne else and choose not
to go through ICBC, call us immediately. You might even be

lucky enough to have one of our $30.00 free towing cards in your
wallet.

More Than Just Talk, Dept.

You will be glad to know that all major auto manufacturers are
Carrying on requiar dialogue with independants like yours truly. in
days gone by the manufacturers would only talk to the car
dealers, and this made it a rough shake to get accurate informa.
tion We had to fanagle it, or, to learn from our mistakes, and
from hard, cold experience, (Stupid Method). ICBC got behind us
though, and then they started listening, and talking, (to us) When
a large dose of reality and common sense is injected into any tn
dustry, everybody wins Especially you
