ho's robbing the Hatchery?

HIS BUSINESS about our noble brothers the Indians being interested in the gods of

nature is so much fairypoo. They couldn’t care less about conservation.

That's why they take fish under the pretence of serving their own food needs, flog the stuff when they can, and will go on grabbing saimon out of the Capilano River un- tl the chinook’s as scarce as facts in ficuion.

No doubt) you've heard about what's going on at the mouth of the Capilano, with Whitey being roughed up and pushed around by Squamish braves for daring to put a pole in the water from what 1s now supposed to be Indian land. Never mind that he’s been doing " for years and years. Thisis Wimpland, and “traditional rights’ apply to Indians but not to others

Not that you can really blame the Indians. If Whitey's leaders insist on giv- ing the store away, that’s his fault for electing them. The weak-kneed media can be proud, too, for running all those sob stones about how

were trouble on the Capilano comes from the Scoreds having decided to

‘give back'’ parts of Ambleside to the Squamish. | have commented on_ that before, and won't go into tt again except to say that West Vancouver got screwed.

What 1s happening now is just as bad, and had its genesis in a typteal bureaucratic boondogegle tht threatens the Capilano’s chinook run

What makes it even more of a laugh 1s that you've paid out plenty of bucks to put up the Capilano Fish Hatchery But any chinooks that get by our brothers are very lucky fish indeed
