Socialist
society
can solve
abortion

Dear Editor:

The anti-abortionists seem
to have overlooked = an
important fact — “banning”
abortion will not prevent it.
It will not prevent unwanted
pregnancies. It will not end
the poverty which makes
child-beanng an economic
consideration. It will force
muhons of women to resort
to back-alley abortions
which have already killed
thousands of women and
injured thousands’ more.

Only a bona fide Socialist
society, advocated by the
Sociahst labor party, based
on social ownership and
democratc worker control
of the economy, can ap-
proach this and other social
problems sanely and ef-
fecavely. Organised to serve
the needs of every member
of society, Socialism will

eliminate poverty and
ignorance, improve birth
control education, and
family planning, provide

adequate day-care facihties,.
etc. It will be a society
wherein the decision to have
or not have a child will be a
truly free, human decision,
uncompromised by
economic considerations or
legal restnctions.

Make foreign students pay up

Dear Editor:

Education is a bargain in

.C.,; especially for foreign
Students who come to get
their grade 12 diploma here.
Western Canada College is
one of our insitutions which
will oblige for a suff fee. Its
five month pressure” cooker
course 1s aimed at  ad-
mittance to U.B.C.. Simon
Fraser orl Vic.

Our fees at university level
are among the lowest in the
world. That's the attraction.
They are heavily subsidized
by the B.C. taxpayer. You
and I put up $9.00 out of
every $10.00 that it costs to
give young people a degree
in this province.

The scam that these B.C.
educators are engaged im is
selling our low fee university

education to well-to-do
foreigners. Charge a bundle
for a shortened grade 12
course and ‘cave the rest to
us. We'll toot the bill for
everyone's university
education regardless of their
wealth or where they come
from.

Registration at our
universities is on a “first
come, first served” basis. So
if our young people are slow

Thanks to Max's rescuer

Dear Editor:

On Saturday, March 6,
1982, my son ran away 1o
sea. He had become bored
while waiting for his older
sister to finish browsing at
the North Vancouver
Library at 14th and Lon-
sdale, and had left quietly,
sparing her any farewells.

We were extremely

fortunate in that a young
man noticed this four-year-
old boy alone on the SeaBus
and prevented him from
disembarking for the bnght
hghts of the Big City. This
same man rode back with
Max to the North Shore and
then set out on foot to ac-
company him to the safety of
his own doorstep, not

realizing that the boy's
doorstep is on West 24th.
Meanwhile Max's older
sister — entirely frantic by
that time was cruising
Lonsdale by bus in the hope
of catching sight of our
wanderer — when_= she
spotted them near [Sth. ] am
told that Max was treated to
the sort of warm welcome he
