Dear Editor: .

It may seem early to be
thinking about Christmas,
-but the West Vancouver
Santa Claus Fund must start
making plans for the big
Xmas project as soon as
possible. All indications
point to a busy time making
sure that no one is lonely or
' destitute on such an impor-
tant holiday.

The generous support of
many citizens of this
municipality has helped us in
the past, and we hope to
look forward to the same
cooperation this year.

Dear. Rditor:
Mr. Bob’ Hunater’s
“Nuclear Nightmare”, was

an extremely vivid descrip-
tion of a possible nuclear
war. A verbal concerto of
doom, calculated to arouse
people who allow themselves
to be -driven by emotional
response, with little or no
reasoning. .

During periods of great
danger, panic and other
forms of irrational response
can be disastrous. °

There are many people
who demand that. the
Western Allies eliminate
their nuclear weapons
regardless of similar action
by the. USSR, and. China.
This. would be warmly ap-
plauded and supported. by
the Communist World. Such

his description is relatively
accurate, the whole story is
an exercise of negativeness.

Russia could possibly sur-
vive a nuclear attack
because of the large
distances between cities, and
the lower detisity of popula-
tion, but the Russian govern-
ment leaders are not idiots,
and they must be fully aware
that if they won the wat, the
aftermath would most cer-
tainly destroy them. .

. Every year both the USSR

and China are dependent

upon nner purchases of

from Canada and the.

USA to feed their vast
population.

A nuclear war would

agricultural land and almost

consumption for at least fifty
years or more. This means
that the Communist world

would succumb from starva-
tion. Since most of the third

World countries depend
upon food and other aid
from Canada and the USA,
they too would be doomed.

I fully agree with Mr.
Hunter, only demented peo-
ple will trigger a nuclear
holocaust.

We are living in a small
world that requires of all
things a sense of inter-
dependence; to achieve this
demands reason, not panic
or untrammelled -emo-
tionalism.
