The legion has been asked many times, how we, as an organization, can _ donate close to $30,000 a year to the community of Terrace, but be struggling with out finances and ’ have little or no money to renovate ‘or even paint out building: The answer really is quite simple, Our donation money com- es from bingos and must be used for charity only.

With the advent of competitive long distance calling, a number of cor- porations are trying for your business. As employees of the BC Telephone Company, and as members of your community, we are ask- ing you to consider the following: CONSIDER THIS: We believe that BC TEL is. competitive with the best hat the others have to offer. Just'ask your local Service Representative — or Technician for the true comparisons. » CONSIDER THIS: BC TEL employs many lacal people i in the area, That means we are neighbors whe live here, pay taxes, and support a varie- ty of community activities. Westel, Unitel and others have few or no employees in our area and have no intantion of ever placing jobs here. CONSIDER THIS: It means that while BC TEl's payrall to ils employees annually contributes to the economic health of the area, our competitors contribute very litle or nothing at all. Money paid to them never relurns to our communities. In the words of a local businessperson to a compeli- tor’s telephone solicitor, “When you buy goods from my store, | might consider buying services from you.’ r\N WE THINK THAT 15 THE BEST ANSWER YOU CAN GIVE, Submitted by the Telecommunications Workers Union, Local 33, on behalf of its membership.
