Deat Editor:

As Mr. W. Kirschbaum will see, this Setter is not from the North Shore but from Abbotsford.

When |} saw the truth that cou- rageous Doug was putting out in his Get This Straight section, | sent in my $100 to get three issues of this fine paper mailed to me cach week.

Doug, keep it up. This last one | got on ‘My dear Brian Baloney”’ sure hits the nail on the head.

dust last week 7 sent a letter to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher congratulating her on her stand on South Africa. She does not go the

traitorous route that our two-faced government is taking,

The USSR can shoot an unarin- ed passenger plane out of the skies, drop bombs disguised as toys in Afghanistan to blow innocent children's hands off and our gov- ernment keeps right on doing business with those murderers whereas the South Africans are trying to keep their country together, Our government and our CBC are doing what they can, it seems to me, to destabilize the government there.

It's meddling of the worst kind and ; wish that millions of Cana-

SOUTH AFRICA WINES Boycott ‘an abuse of power

Dear Editor:

I wish to refer to Mr. John Shields (president of the B.C. Government Employees Union) demands that his union members boycott the handling of South African wines and liquor.

1 find it despicable that a leader of a union can enforce his ideological ideas onto the general public.

It’s an absolute abuse of his position to endeavor to contravene

the laws of the provincial gov- ernment.

I suggest that if he desires so strongly to legislate and administer laws affecting the country, then he pursue another career.

His statement that the majority of blacks in South Africa welcome sanctions is a diabolical lie.

Seventy-five per cent of the blacks are moderates who do not favor any form of’ sanctions, and prefer a negotiated erasing of apartheid.

dians would get themselves really well informed as to the real issues there and then stop our gov- etnment from what they're doing now.

[ also wrote Prime Minister Mulroney that he has betrayed us all that voted for a change for the better; we thought and hoped, but he's continuing what Trudeau did.

Doug Collins . ! admire you and I wish we had a thousand more like you in Cunada, Then we could turn this Ship of Stare around. |} pray we can do it even with less. Jack H. Swatsky Abbotsford

That nine other provinces have legislated the boycott of South African wines, is no criterion.

They are provincial leaders grandstanding on the international scene for their own benefit, and deliberately ignore the genuine reforms taking place.

May the Social Credit governm- ent continue their positive . ap- proach to a complex situation.
