CHRISTMAS IS now past, and the hectic rush to buy
presents is over. But the fun of the festive season is not
yet over — still to come are the usual round of New

Collins creates ‘false impression’

~Dear Editor: are uals
I. am. writing to disabuse your

: . readers of the utterly false’ impres- :
-» + sions’.created” by Doug Collins in :
7 his column of. Oct. 25. - -o

“ The column is cleverly crafted to
give the impression that the ranks
-. of the Capilano Riding Association

‘with both the government and
Mary Collins. I can assure you, as
someone who has sat on that
association for 10 years,
; nothing could be further from the
truths! ;
. “vB yyould: like [to Set- the’ record

straight with some specifics:
vv Mr, Collins gives the impres-
sion-in his article that I was retir-
ing as. president over some
dissatisfaction with the party or
Mary Collins. That is wrong and |
told. Mr. Collins that in a recent
telephone call.

I am not’ running again simply
because I think it is time someone

else took over as executive presi-.

_ dent with some new ideas and new
energies. That, in my view, is how
an organization continues to- be
vital.

-infested with. dissatisfaction _

that ©

¢ Mr.. Collins suggests that. the
troops ‘in the riding association ‘are
“unhappy”? and’ “‘demoralized.”?

. That suggestion is also false. The

facts are that the-executive teturn-

.ed.at the annual: general meeting

_ this.month-consists of a total of

‘eight executive members who were

on.tht.-board last year. That is
two-ihirds of our total board of 12
sitting members. That is hardly an

expression, of dissatisfaction i in my:

view.

The fact is that our riding

association and its ‘executive are in.
‘excellent shape. Our financial situ-.

ation has never been: better and we
could, if required, fight an election
tomorrow with the reserve funds
on hand.

While there is always dissatisfac-
tion in any political party with cer-
tain of the policies of government
(1 suspect this situation prevails for
Liberals and NDP as well), never-
theless on any objective viewpoint
I think this is the best government
that Canada has had in decades.
Furthermore, I think our MP is
doing. a fine job and will be re-
elected.
