Doug Collins brightens (or ruins) readers’ day Dear Editor: : As is obvious from the letters to the editor of the North Shore News on March 19, readers either love or hate Doug Collins. ~ I happen to be one of the major- ity of your readers who admires his ability. to present factual informa- tion — sometimes tongue-in-cheek — which makes his column so en- . joyable, So far as the suggestion from more than one of your con- tributors that advertisers in the Sick of ‘wimpishness Dear Editor: I congratulate Mr. Collins for his excellent article on the way “Harry,”’ the prime minister of Singapore, shows some real genu- ine leadership in Properly tegulating their immigration. No wimpishness there. I’m sick to the eyeballs with it here. Firefighters Dear Editor: The members of Firefighters Locals #914 (North Vancouver Ci- ty), #1183 (North Vancouver District) and #1525 (West Van- couver) wish to publicly thank the staff and students of the senior secondary schools of the North Shore for their participation and help in staging the First Annual North Shore Firefighters Senior Norta Shore News withdraw their ads, they cannot be serious. It takes me an average of 20 minutes to read the ‘Evening Wimp.”’ Our North Shore paper takes me an hour after first reading Collins, the editorial and the letters to the edi- tor. It was noteworthy that many of the letters came from addresses far from the North Shore, e.g. Hamilton, Ont., Nova Scotia, Delta, Richmond. There has to be a reason — Doug Collins. I thank my God for a man like Doug Collins, I've told some Sikhs to their faces that they should not import their Indian wars into our country. We have enough problems of our own, Thanks Doug. Keep it up. Jack H. Sawatsky Abbotsford say thanks The tournament was a success and the Firefighter Locals look forward to again sponsoring the tournament in 1989.
