Peace camp set up at Nanoose Bay will be at the rest stop full time. We also plan for demonstrations at the base. Beverly Hill and Laurie McBride, Nanoose Conversion Campaign, Parksville, write: Over the past two summers, there has been an intense effort to end weapons testing at Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island. The Canadian Forces Maritime Experi- mental and Test Range at Nanoose, an extremely sophisticated underwater wea- pons testing range, plays a major role in the development of the U.S. Navy’s anti- submarine warfare program. Research in this area is an essential part of the U.S. government's first strike strategy. Weapons tested at Nanoose include the SUBROC and the ASROC, both of which are nuclear systems designed for use against submerged Soviet submarines. As well, some of the U.S. nuclear attack subs that use the range have already been fitted with nuclear Tomahawk cruise missiles. To bring this issue to the forefront, a network of Island peacemakers was formed and through this alliance it was possible to Staff the first Nanoose Peace Camp, a day- time drop-in cum literature table under the awning of an aging one-ton truck parked at a rest stop on the Island Highway near Nanoose Bay. Many friends were made and in the fall of 1984, the Nanoose Conversion Campaign formed as a separate campaign with the following goals: @ Non-renewal of the Canada-U.S. agreement governing the use of Nanoose Bay when the agreement expires in April, 1986; e@ An end to all weapons testing at Nanoose; © Conversion of the base to peaceful productive purposes. Our first group action was a march and rally at the base Nov. 11, 1984. A strategy of educational outreach was adopted and has resulted in the current B.C.-wide tour of our slide show and information package pres- ented by one of our members wherever pos- sible. Accompanying the slide show are two petitions, one specifically calling for a public inquiry into the renewal of the agreement at Nanoose, the other outlining our goals. Later this spring there will be door-to-door canvassing at Nanoose and the peace truck will take up its position on holiday week- ends from Apr. | to July 1, at which time it CEC bosses responsible in posting of scab jobs Tom Fawkes, communications director, B.C. Federation of Labor, writes: I read with some concern your article “Employment office aids in scabbing” (Tribune, Apr. 3, 1985). My concern arises from the fact that the article, although accurate in every way, RANKIN & COMPANY Barristers & Solicitors 4th Floor, 195 Alexander St. Vancouver, B.C. V6A IN8& 682-2781 Offers a broad range of - legal services including: Personal Injury & Insurance claims Real Estate & Conveyancing Divorce & Family Law Labour Law Criminal Law Estates & Wills leaves the impression that the Canada Employment Centre (CEC) workers, who are members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, are in some way connected to the decision to post job opportunities requiring people to cross picket lines. This is clearly not the case. The bosses at the CEC made the decision to post job opportunities for scabs some years ago. At that time, the B.C. Federation of Labor strenuously opposed the move with the assistance of PSAC and CEC workers, At that time, postings for scabs went unidentified. Although we held the position then, and continue to hold the posi- tion that such postings should not be made at all, we had to settle for ensuring that such postings advised workers they would have to cross picket lines to accept the job. The point I wish to stress, however, is that it was not the decision of the CEC workers to post jobs for scabs but their bosses, and the PSAC joined with the feder- ation in trying to prevent such postings from occurring.

It was officially opened Apr. 5. We hope this camp will impress upon the federal government and base personnel that Vancouver Island- ers and British Columbians object to their waters being used to facilitate the efforts of the war machine. Nanoose has nothing to do with our NATO obligations. — We hope to inspire many peace activists to join us over the summer in the spirit of solidarity. We hope to put Nanoose firmly into minds of people across Canada. For information phone 753-2083 or 248-4177.
