__ CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD’ The Mail Bag Not a ‘bad Liberal’ Dear Sir: A clarification to your March 22 story on my aspirations to seek the Liberal nomination in Skee- na. When asked about some of my public stale- ments on issues that conflict with Gordon Camp- bell, ie.: Kemano Completion, SCI bail out and Nisga’ a Treaty, my reply, in fact, was in somewhat different order than your story and with a few more clarifying and qualifying comments, which pro- , Vides quite a different slant to my comments. - My position has been, will continue to be, and is no secret to my political friends and foes, that when push comes to shove my constituents take priority, regardless of wha may disagree. I have spent a decade in public service and have proven myself to be a team player, always ': working hard to reach consensus at least and un- -animous decisions at best, Thank you for the opportunity to make sure I don't start out as a “bad Liberal”. David D. Hull, Terrace, B.C. The road to....... Dear Sir: In Austria and Germany, the city hall is called the “rat haus", Seems fitting enough so I propose that, in the interest of informing German tourists, and for my own amusement, that the city erect a large sign at the end of the main drag, saying . " merely “rat haus”. Visiting dignitaries won't have to be told where to go. City councillors have recently come up with a plan to increase the city's proportion of costs for re- _ paving the streets in town that resemble the terrain on the moon. That would require a madest tax in- crease for all of us. Unlike many of the business - type people on council, I stili have a mortgage to pay. If my mortgage were paid off, then a modest “increase in taxes wouldn't seem so bad. A quick check of the phone book tells me that a majority of the elected live on streets that are in tough shape. Hmm. No special interest stuff in that closed door meeting, I'm sure. - Like the king of Terrace, ] am within spitting . distance of an arterial road, so the recent paving in front of my place did not require me to buck up. Thank you, Terrace. Chris Spangl, Terrace, B.C. How about $39.50? Dear Sir: I noted with interest the article, “Councillors in food fight”, in your March 22 issue. So poor David Hull feels that he should be al- lowed to gobble $70 worth of food daily, while tra-.. --velling on:city business? _ lowering the per diem rate to $39.50, the same as that paid by the provincial government to workers travelling on government business? If we can do it, why can’t Dave? D.F. Varner, Terrace, B.C. Please give it back Dear Sir: This letter is to whoever stole a yard machine 3.5 hp/18 inch, front line tiller, serial #21 A-035- 500, Model 91200 from 3970 Walker Street, Thornhill, in the early part of March. My wife and I, whose only income is Old Age Pension and Canada Pension, are not financially Ablt to replace this machine. Our hobby is growing flowers, which we share with our neighbours, to make the area a more beautiful and pleasant place in which te live. When we visit native people in the surrounding area we are always treated with respect and hon- oured as elders. The question we ask the persons responsible for this theft, would you like your mo- ther, father or grandparents treated in this fashion? My wife and I have spent our lives helping people i.e. if you want advice on making a dress, knitting a sweater, baking a cake or if you are a - . diabetic — Gen is always there to help. I, on the other hand, have chauffeured boys and girls to swimming, ‘basketball games, Odyssey of the Mind projects or any electric appliance needing repair, or a smail electrical remodelling, 1 would be happy to advise. Or if you wanted to borrow the tiller to till your garden, I would have been happy to help. We would appreciate it - if you would return the tiller to where you found it. Norman C.
