It! was. interesting’ to
read’ in- this week’s
edition of. -the Queen
‘Charlotte Island
Observer, a letter from a
Mr. Jim Fulton of Tlell,
B,C. He has mentioned

_ the unfortunate situation |
where the toxic defoliant -
2-4-5-T is used along the
highway. He suggests the
use of this spray could be
completely avoided’ by”

‘the employment of local
slashing crews. Having
written about this year’s
spraying of 1,6000. acres

of this province with both

“ED and S457, I was
pleased to find out:
someone else is. also
concerned about the
matter. It does ‘look. as -
though changes will only
be brought about through
enough public protest:

Mr. Fulton also feels
-that- Canadians should

know more about just
what this country is doing
about security problems
and defence. He claims
few people know . that’
Canada is -the fifth
largest exporter — of
military weapons in the
world, (“This ineludes
everything. ‘from
defoliant bound ‘for
Vietnam to warheads for
the Middle East.”) This -
causes each of us to be
partially responsible for
every casualty in any of
these countries..

Therefore this makes the
adopting of an orphan in
any of these countries a
mockery,

Each qualified voter is
given the opportunity to
elect a political candidate
of his choice. But what
that political party-does

‘once -it-is*in power. is

another. matter.” Perhaps
more active participation

in your: own party” ‘gives - -
you a better idea of that.

‘party’s policies, and ‘if
the. ‘candidate are
conscientious: you. are

assured he or she will do:
his or her best. But what ’
assurance is there’ that

democracy? - ;
I have two items jotted

down ‘that I -felt. were

worth repeating. One was
from an interview

‘someone ‘had with J..

Diefenbaker. He
mentioned to, the
interviewer that someone

had called out to him
_ during a. speech, “Give’
‘em hell, John. *
reply given was; “I never
do -that. I tell the ‘truth
and it sounds like hell.”.
Perhaps a lot of the more

outspoken’ people sound ;

the same. way.

The other jotting is a
suggestion that . one
should - “shout virtures,
whisper vices, and about
the rest of: them, keep
your trap shut.”

It begins to look as
though it will be some
time before I have my
second trip on the ‘B.C.
Canuck. Strong: North
West winds have
continued in this area all
this past week. One boat
was swamped on its way
to the harbour when
water came over the
stern. Those on the boat
were fortunate to be able
to:swim to another boat,
but the swamped one has
been written off as a total
loss. Another boat had
the wheelhouse windows
smashed in by the waves.
