we feel that the licence =~

to manage the forests in the

communities or the

province.

We urge you to join us in
requesting public hearings
on all tree farm license
renewals, and specifically
for T.F.L. 24, by writing to
Premier Bill Bennett and the
Minister of Forests, Tom
Waterland, at the
Parliament Buildings,
Victoria, B.C, to indicate
your support for T.F.L.
renewal hearings.

‘: Dear Editor:

‘Thanks a lot for the in-

school trustees are handing
out are startling. I do not
think that you are entirely
correct in blaming the
teachers.

I have worked for a living
for a long time and have

the only way a person's

amount they can demand

I would appreciate it if

you. could tell us how much,

Also why is it that our city

trustees how much they will
get, instead of giving them,
at our expense just what they
want. ~ .

Another item of interest.
Why is it that only our
elected people are able to
increase their pay and
pensions without asking the
people for permission to do
so?
