Birth control colurmn astounds reader

Dear Editar:

Bob Hunter’s column of July 16 astounds me. I’m sure if he re-read his copy he would have deleted his statement that birth control is so efficient we need not worry about the population explosion.

Barbecue in

Dear Editor:

The barbecue hosted by the ad- ministrators of the Lions Gate Hospital on the parking tot on Friday, July 7 (see North Shore News, July 12) was an insult to those residents and patients who looked on, after enduring two weeks of peanut butter sandwiches and apple sauce during the strike.

It is amazing the money that can be found in hospital budgets, such as hospital managers drawing a $1,000 bonus from university hos- pitals for working during the strike.

And they continue to tell us “there is no more money in the pot.’”
