I am damn mad! And b-—— well scared! 27 I am also appalied to read that the government of Canada has found yet another way of causing our society to decline. By spending $10M and four years to study “RCMP dirty tricks” and then to announce yet another bureaucratic abortion by setting up a “spy organization”, which will cost us another couple of billion — Gentlemen, give your heads ashake. Do you, Mr. Trudeau, remember WATERGATE? Shades of the U.S. in- telligence (?) fiascoes are reaching their dirty hands into Canada. Sir, I have more faith in the Mafia. The RCMP are still the most respected law en- forcement body in the world and to lay blame on the “arm” of justice rather than on the “brain” is sheer lunacy, Hitchcockian best. When old women are being raped and murdered; young children and teenagers being abducted and murdered; and a single woman with children (myself, Sir, included) has to imprison herself in her home for fear of these things happening to her — don't you think Gentlemen, it is time to get back to basics. 1. Bring back the death penalty! For rape, murder, kidnapping, treason — I don't care what your studies show, Mr. Trudeau; being executed is still a damn good deterrent to the pervs of this country. , 2. Look into the giant conglomerates that are eating up small businesses and paying nothing .nto the governmental coffers by invoking the many tax exemptions so generously at Kick in the derriere for offered by yourselves. (Being an accountant I know whereof I speak.) . 3. Abolish trade unions’ rights to disrupt the entire stability of our country, especially government employees. (Forget the popularity contest, Sir.) 4. Look into ‘‘in- ternational” syndicates feeding off our resources and giving nothing back, but higher import prices. ». Give government back to the people, not your select group of “intelligent (?) leaders”, but us common folk, and don’t assume that we haven't the wherewithal mentally to cope. Forget about your Constitutional Reform, and quit setting East and West at each other's throats. 6. Finally, Gentlemen, give yourselves a good kick in the derriere for con- tributing to all of the above. Open up Lower Hollyburn Dear Editor: ~ OPEN LETTER TO THE GVRD PARKS COM- MITTEE I spent the Labour Day weekend exploring the old forest roads between the First Lookoff of the Cypress Bowl Road and the base of District Lot 1123. I have mever once met a_ single person hiking there. If the District of West Vancouver really wants the public to use that terrain there is one way this can be accomplished: construct the legal road, (Rodgers Road) now containing only a low- power transmission line, which starts in the main parking lot of the Second Lookoff and = which = runs across the contour to Craigmont Dnve in Britush Properties Along the route, of course, there should = be parking There 1s a suitable spot near Rodgers Creek which would service not only day-trippers but also the owners of housing lots at the base of DL 1123. Without such access, the general public will not make use of this terrain for park pur- poses, as my Labour Day labour clearly proves. If the District of West Vancouver really wants Lower Hollyburn Hill (i.e., the portion below the Provincial Park) to be parkland, then all private LGH best Dear Editor 1 yust came home from a long stay at Lions Gate Hospital Ll think iis the beste hospitalin BC ! Good Doctors, kind and beautiful and the food was very pood fnendly. nurses, owners (including Cypress Bowl Resort the old Westlake Lodge) must be bought out or given even lower-celevation developable land in exchange. It is unfair to allow private lodges to operate, yet deny the owners of housing lots in DL 1123 the use of property which has been legally subdivided since 1909.

Are you such milquetoasts that you have no desire to protect your women, children and old people? Clean up your act, Gentlemen, and get your —- together. I was born and brought up right here m B.C. and I don’t want to move. My father fought for Canada im the First and Second World Wars. My brother (dead now) was a firefighter here in Vancouver, and my mother, Sir, worked her butt off cooking and cleaning in other people's homes to put me through school, with no help from Canada. I am _ witholding my financial support — I know it’s illegal. But you idiots Jitawa types back there will not listen any other way. $285.00 - per month in income tax, and I will provide for myself my, own “security agency”. I will continue to contribute CPP and UIC and hope to God that these contributions are being used for our sick, out of work, and old peopie.
