Missing bin
concerns resident

TERRACE — The bin

that was, isn’t, and local

resident Vic Jolliffe is

concerned political

engineering may have
. been behind the event.

Last week the media
was on hand to witness
local litter committee
members installing the
first litter basket in the
district.

The bin was hung up
as part of the Clean up
Terrace campaign, and
committee members
Malcolm Hilcove, Al
McNiven and Doug
Smith joined Mayor
Jack Talstra at the event.

At the time the bin was
installed, Doug Smith
and Vic Jolliffe were
both running in a by-
election to fill a seat on
Terrace council. The
bins were put up for the
media event and then
taken down so name
plates could be -welded
on them indicating which
business the basket
belonged to, Smith said.

Jolliffe said it is his
opinion the media event
may have been staged for
political purposes.

the litter committee but
said the decision to hang
‘up the basket was made
by the committee during
a meeting at which he
was not present.
Committee member
George Clark said the
baskets were put up asa
media promotion to aid
the Clean up Terrace

campaign. He noted,
we're not Doug Smith's
political campaign

group. Smith just hap-
pens to be on the litter
committee and is doing a
good job.

It didn’t cross
anyone’s mind that the
event could be con-
sidered in a_ political
vein, Clark said, ‘“We’re
trying to come up with a
media story each week to
promote the clean up
campaign,’’ he added,

. Free trade

To the editor,
The Free Trade talks
are off to a poor start.
We have recently had
severe tariffs imposed on
Maritime fish, Alberta

hogs and now B.C..

shakes and shingles. In
my opinion, this makes a
mockery of the talks
before they even start.
We should suspend the
talks until the Americans
back down on some of
their. protectionist
measures. If we do less,
we are severely com-
promising our position.
A historical footnote;
it was a Conservative
government that nego-
tiated the Alaskan
Panhandle! Canada still
has a lot more to lose if
Mulroney thinks he can
put ‘‘friendship’’ ahead
of some very tough
negotiating.

TRIVIA

' Big Cily

The world’s largest city in area,
which is as big as Switzerland, is
Mount Isa, Queensland, Austra-
lia, says National Geographic.

But where, oh where, can the litter bin be, asks Terrace sesl-
dent Vic Jolliffe.

Member's Message

Frank Howard,
Debate Leader on
Forestry for the NDP,
spoke about forestry
concerns in northern
B.C. in the Legislature
recently,

“The Bennett govern-
ment has written off
forestry as a ‘sunset in-
dustry’. As such, they
have abandoned the cor-
herstone of northern
B.C.’s economy,” said
Howard during debate
on the Ministry of
Forests.

‘Their lack of concern
for northern B.C.’s
number one industry is
clearly reflected in the
Statistics on non-
reforested land. In the
Prince Rupert Forest
Region the amount of
not satisfactorily
restocked forest land has
risen from 98,500 to
120,300 hectares in the
past five years. That's a
22 percent increase,”
Howard stated.

He continued saying,
“The Prince Rupert
Forest Region is a huge
area extending from
Bella Coola north to the

Yukon border. This mis-
treatment. of our forest
resources must end now
before the damage be-
comes irreparable.”

Howard went on to
speak on some of the
NDP’s proposals for for-
estry in northern B.C.

‘The NDP has legis-
lation before this House
which would see $300
million spent annually
on reforestation and
silviculture in this pro-
vince. Monies from this
fund would be spent on
the best site NSR land in
the Prince Rupert Forest
Region to ensure that
land is brought back into
production.’’

‘Furthermore, in re-
cognition of the impor-
tance of forestry in
northern B.C., the NDP
believes that the North-
west Community College
in Terrace should have a
degree-granting program
in forestry. This would
allow northern residents
to further develop their
forestry knowledge and
begin to apply their skills
locally,”’ he concluded.

The write stuff

by Brian Gregg,
Terrace Contributor

Shortly after Ronald Reagan stopped John Hin-
ckley’s bullet, Secretary of State Alexander Haig ig-
nored Vice-President George Bush and left America
asking: ‘“Who's in charge here?’’ Both Bush and
Haig are members of the Council on Foreign Rela-
tions (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission (TC) who
many believe run the government of the United
States.

President Reagon explained it this way: ‘‘Now, I
don’t believe that the Trilateral Commission is a con-
spiratorial group, but I do think its interests are
devoted to international banking, multinational cor-
porations, and so forth. I think there is an elite in this
country and they are the very ones who run an elitist
government. They want a government by a handful
of people because they don’t believe the people
themselves can run their lives.’’

An early count of the Reagan administration
revealed that there are 72 members of CFR and TC in
top government jobs. In addition to Haig and Bush,
there is Kissinger, present Secretary of State George
Shultz, Secretary of the Treasury Donald Regan,
Secretary of Commerce Malcolm Baldrige, CIA
Director William Casey, and Secretary of Defense
Casper Weinberger.

Jimmy Carter was the number one Trilateral man
of the 1970s. His right-hand man, Zbigniew Brzezin-
ski, helped David Rockefeller create the TC. The
Carter administration had over a hundred CFR and
TC members doing one sort of job or another. Even
Richard Nixon did his part in filling jobs with the
elite ‘membership before Carter got into the act.
Former Defense officials Cyrus Vance and Paul
Warnke are CFR insiders.

CFR members include CBS’s William Paley, Dan
Rather, Harry Reasoner, Bill Moyers; NBC's T.F.
Bradshaw, David Brinkley, John Chancellor, Martin
Kalb, Irvine Levine; ABC's Ted Koppel and Barbara
Walters; plus names from Cable News Syndicate,
Chicago Sun Times, Minneapolis Star-Tribune,
Houston Post, New York Times, Time (magazine),
Newsweek, Dow Jones, National Review, Exx-
on/Standard, Mobil, Atlantic Richfield, Texaco,
Gulf, Shell, Occidental, General Electric, AT&T,
Caterpillar, John Deere; not to mention dozens in the
U.S. military, Senate and House of Representatives.

Banks include Chase Manhattan, Bankers Trust,
Morgan Guaranty, Chemical Bank, Ist National of
Chicago, Manufacturers Hanover, Texas In-
struments, Citibank. Then, of course, there’s
Chrysler, GM, International, Ford, Not to mention
union bosses in United Steelworkers; Ladies’ Gar-
ment;. AFL-CIO; American Fed. of State, County
and Municipal Employees; UAW; Communications
Workers of America; United Assn. of Journeymen
and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting In-
dustry in the U.S. and Canada.

Daniel Ortega, the Sandinista leader of
Nicaragua, has received red carpet treatment from
CFR members. Robert Mugabe, whose government
troops in Zimbabwe have killed Christian missionary
doctors and nurses helping the poor of that country,
has been entertained at CFR headquarters. Martin
Feldstein and Alan Greenspan, two key Reaganomics
advisers are both long-time CFR members.

The goal and aspiration of CFR and TC members
is to establish a new world order. They are carefully
guiding human affairs through supranational
bureaucracies with their executive members acting as
global managers, The TC, for example, covers North
America, Europe and Japan. The Expo organization
is a supranational bureaucracy. More than one critic
of these organizations has suggested the CIA, which
only receives 10 percent of its funding from the U.S.
government, belongs to these organizations.

The point of all this is that it doesn’t matter who
the voters elect, the CFR and TC are the winners
every time. Canada’s NDP Ed Broadbent is striving
for the same new world order as the Rockyfellows in
