Dear Editor

Does B.C.have a truth-in-
advertising code? An ad plac-
ed by the Office & Technical
Employees Union (‘‘Even
Socreds agree. Private In-

surance | Can’t Do It Better’)

‘in your January 1 Edition
was at best misleading and at
worst an outright lie.

Dear Editor .

Please accept this letter 2 as
a reply to your editorial,
**Credibility Gap”’’, publish-
ed in your December 18 issue.

The request to withhold a
Signature to the new fore-
shore lease was in order that

the ‘‘Combined Ratepayers

Committee’’ could obtain
from the Council informa-
tion on the lease and to allow
an opportunity for some
public input. The Council, in
its wisdom, declined. For
your information (which was
available to your Editor if he
had inquired), we submit the
following:

Fact 1: The Squamish Peo-

Alberta is $106 (6 month
policy). ICBC quoted me
about twice as much for the
same coverage. As a soon-to-
be resident of B.C. 1 stand to
lose from what Angus Ree
calls ‘“‘effective and. effi-
cient’. It’s a moral tragedy
that B.C: residents are forced
to buy a product (and from
one company tao), but when

will have to negotiate were
not aware of the new lease
from the signing authorities

or how it would affect them..

Fact 2; re was no
clause in the lease for appeal
by the upland foreshore
owners.

-Fact 3: There waSno
clause in the lease for adver-
tising applications for future
sub-leases.

Fact 4: There was no
clause in the lease for public
hearings on applications.

went to the Ministry of

Lands, Parks and Housing,

; policy from Edmonton,

the product has a a grossly in-
flated price tag then why not
call it theft? A private citizen
who tried this in the 1920s
was jailed. (Yes, Virginia, Al
Capone is alive and well 2 and
he works at ICBC.)
Contrary to what the ad
states, Crown corporations
are almost always less effi-
cient than private companies.
If indeed ICBC were as good

observations on: the afore-
mentioned omissions from
the lease and will withhold
signing the lease.)

Some questions which need
answering are:

1. What are the reasons for
the Municipality taking on
the administration of the
waterfront sub-leases?

2. Have the property
owners been advised?

3. Who will pay for the
legal surveys?

4. Who will set the value of

as the ad implies then there
would be no need for it to

hide behind its monopoly, -

because it-wWould survive in
the free market.

The ad should better have
been titled “Even Consumers

agree ... Private Insurance

Does Do It Better.”

Like many people, I always start the new year full of
good intentions; five miles jogging three times a week: let-
ters to friends overseas more regularly and finish that
novel that’s been lying half completed in a drawer for
ages. And like most of those many, I find myself making
those same resolutions 12 months later!: :

Changing one’s way of life in any way is not easy. How
many of you reading this have ended up convincing
yourselves that those changes you were contemplating
just weren't really necessary? “My Grandfather smoked tll
he was 90 and néver had a day’s sickness in his life .
Who knows if we'll even be around this time next year . .
All my family tend to be a bit on the heavy side, it's in the
genes!” Many of you I suspect.

Dan Rutley, Director of D. Rutley & Associates, uses
hypnosis to help his clients create better habits. In hyp-
nosis, the persuasive arguments of the conscious mind
(the will) are by-passed and new programs can be planted
in the subconscious. The subconscious controls our bodi-
ly functionis. For example, if we feel a sneeze.coming on
we automatically grab a Kleenex and do the necessary.
We do so unquestioningly without any “conscious”
thought’. . . like lighting a cigarette because it’s the mid
moming coffee break, or stuffing ourselves with Peanuts
as we sip a cocktail!

In hypnosis a person becomes very relaxed. Sugges-
tions that are given are more readily accepted by the sub-
conscious without having to undergo the critical evalua-
thon and pre-screening of “Head Office” — the conscious
mind.

After the appropriate suggestions have been given, the
client who smokes will not feel like a cigarette, the com-
pulsive eater not hungry and the quiet timid individual far
more confident than they have been in years.

These suggestions are compounded by the client at
home through self-hypnosis and at further sessions until
the new habit becomes a reality.

D. Rutley and Associates have helped many people
through counselling and hypnosis overcome a wide varie-
ty of problems ranging from smoking and obestty to
migraines and stuttering, from depression and anger to tn.
somnia and pain control. More and more busy doctors on
the lower mainland are referring patients to them and
some women have used self hypnosis to make their
pregnancy more pleasurable.

Hypnosis ts not without tts limitations and ts certainly
not the ultimate panacea. But it has and can help many
people change thetr way of life for the better, as well as ex
tend it

1984 has only just begun If you're having difficulty
keeping those promises you made just a few days ago or
need help getting started, why not give D Rutley and
Associates a call and ask for a free consultation They've
helped many people help themselves already Ordinary
people. just like you and me
