Dear Editor:

My sincere congratulations te
you for keeping Doug Collins on
your payroll, Freedom of expres-
sion is one of the cornerstones of
North American sociely: it must
never be eroded.

This belief accounts for my let-
ter fo you as well as for the ques-
tion: Who is this penpusher, Doug
Collins?

He is a journalist who provides:

Expropriation

Dear Editor:

Moves currently under way to
bring about the expropriation of
privately-owned property indicate
a dangerous mind set on the part
of those who advocate such steps
as a means of achieving socicty’s
goals.

Two recent cases involving a
highway project and waterfront
property, both on the North
Shore, indicate clearly that some
of the people we have elected to
office see nothing wrong in the use
of violence against anyone who
would stand in their way. To resort
to even the threat of expropriation
is to use the tactics of the

“A larger (or perhaps a cons-
tant) circulation for your newspa-
per. People chogse to read hun,

* Food for Unought: His articles
provoke the reader into thinking,
acting and reacting.

* Comic relief: | smile whenever
J begin to read his material. In
fact, my wife and | find his views
su outlandish, so outrageously
funny (in all senses of the word),
that we have taken to reading his

unnecessary

schoolyard bully and deserves only
contempt.

Expropriation is the legal, but
forceful, seizure of a peaceful citi-
zen's property. Alternatives are
always available. Sometimes these
alternatives may be more expen-
sive, but this is the price which we
as a community should be
prepared to pay to ensure safe and
secure tide to our homes.

If we placidly stand back and
allow any expropriation (to take
place then who can we expect to
defend our rights when it comes
our turn to be the victim?
