wpe ee nee ee ewe wens L aoe nn ee ee ee eee _CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD The Mail Bag Dear Sir: I am fed up with the tone of the NDP election ads that want us to pay attention to the things that the Liberals have taken away since the last election. — Why is the NDP insulting our intelligence and our memory? I can remember quite viv- idly. how the. NDP has bankrupted B.C. the last two times they were in power., How does the NDP expect to institute ev- ery. sort of social program and at the same . Retuming home after being away for a few weeks..1 was surprised to find that the man best known as the invisible man, Roger Harris, has become Superman and __ along with the B.C. Liberal Party, responsible for every good thing happening in B.C.. - The March 30 B.C, Liberal party ad is pointing out omissions of “good news sto- ries” by The Terrace Standard. The ad itself had some glaring omissions. For example, it did not mention that the in- tervention of Roger Harris made it possible to enjoy a full moon on Easter Friday. It also did not mention that thanks to Mr. Harris and the B.C. Liberals, our chil- - _ dren only need to go to school four days | per week, which, according to Mr. Harris, im- proves academic achievement and as a bo- nus, gives custodians a well-deserved unpaid - long weekend every week. It also forgot to mention the improvement at Terraceview and ‘Mills memorial where . fewer beds means easier parking. _ No credit was given to Mr. Harris and .. the government for ensuring that hundreds for shipyard workers were spared from the . drudgery. of working every “ay for years and Fed up with NDP Listen close, NDP. You can not continue receiving golden eggs after the goose that laid them has been gorged on at the last, meal. __. The minute the NDP got into government last time too many businesses closed up shop arid left B.C. The best place for the NDP is at most in the opposition side of government. Stay out of power and let business thrive, which lets tax income thrive and then, too, we will have any money to put into the many freebies that the NDP seems to think are so. Bill Braam, Terrace, B.C. time drive healthy business out of the prov- ince. The NDP seems to want to put everything vital. on credit for some future government’ to try to repay. How irresponsible. in n their election cad Dear Sir: also paying taxes. His government is giving B. C. seniors choices they did not have before; they can now. choose between medications or food. . -They. can take credit for the government - offices being much easier accessible now that. _ most of the employees are no longer-around: cluttering up the offices and interfering with ‘voice’ mail and other recording devices. ‘The ad is also not giving credit to the re- ‘ ‘markable business sense of this government to sell a profitable railway at a loss. One thing that Mr. Harris and his party is taking credit for is the spending of taxpayers © “money. It is nothing less than a miracle: that af-- ter cutting and slashing and cutting back on- everything except tax breaks for the rich of ° course, they have not two months before élection pulled hundreds of millions of dol- lars out of an empty hat to. throw at ever rid- ing in the province. Enjoy, take the money. It is yours after all. But remember, should you choose to're- elect Roger Harris and his cohorts, they will surely take it back. . John Jensen, - ’. Terrace, B.C. Have you seen these | stolen items around? - - Dear Sir: I’ve sympathized with'people after hear- - ing they were robbed. - Recently, our home was vandalized. My husband and I found out on our way back from visiting his not-so-well mother, whom we helped care for two weeks. , At a stop over in Edmonton, we phoned home to say we were on our way home only to find out home was broken into. We were ' devastated. - Although we knew. the police : were in- formed, we needed to know what went miss- ing. What have the police done so far? What information do they have? We asked two friends and a family mem- ber to take care of our cats and keep an eye’ on the place and still, how could this have happened? As far as we know right now we figure it could only be someone who knew we were out of town. That’s: because the items Missing are our — 27” Toshiba TV and a combination JVC VER/DVD Player, which my son bought for . that my friend, Mr. Baseball Bat, and myself ‘would be overjoyed to meet with you. © us before Christmas. Our son’s PS2 system wiinternet con- nection and our recent collection of DVDs ani idian « , (roughly 20-30), most of which our children bought us ‘for Christmas and/or birthday gifts, as well as a few items we bought our- selves are also missing. If you have any information on any of these items, please call 635-5408. If you have recently acquired either or all of these items and plan on keeping them, you may want the manuals to go with them. What good is it to own something stolen » if you don’t know how to work it? Weare not rich people by any means. But. } _Still we do have to work hard at trying to re- ” place these items.
