Trident protest mounts

VICTORIA — A telegram signed
by 1,236 Victoria citizens was sent
to prime minister Pierre Trudeau
on April 8, protesting the building
of the Trident missile base at
Bangor, Washington. The
signatures were collected in a two-
week campaign.

Sponsored by the Victoria
Survival Committee, which is
made up of members of the local
Peace Council, Voice of Women,
Labor Council, and church groups,
the telegram was signed by many
prominent citizens. Included
among the signators was an ex-
mayor of Oak Bay, an executive
member of the B.C. Teachers
Federation, leaders of many
churches, labor council secretary,
and MLAs Rosemary Brown and
Karen Sanford.

The campaign received wide
publicity in the local media, in-
cluding TV, radio and newspapers,
and featured a Trident ‘“‘monster”’
being marched through the streets
to the legislature.

The telegram to Trudeau reads:

moving

press builder, something which .

very few clubs can boast. In
making their commitment, our
friends in Kingsway said that they
hoped that their idea would spread
amongst all of the readers and
supporters of the Tribune, and that
more press clubs would adopt the
same approach.

Already, one group has done
them one better, where the entire
membership of the Peter McGuire
press club has agreed to raise $140
each.

There’s more — much more
happening elsewhere in the drive.
Our. coming events column in the
classified ads is becoming jammed
with fund-raising events for the
Tribune. This weekend, students at
Simon Fraser University are
staging their first annual spring
party. May Day celebrations, with
the proceeds going to the Tribune,
are being planned in North Van-
couver, Kitsilano and Campbell
River. These and many more
events are the lifeblood of our
financial drive. Go out and support
them; and maybe plan an event
yourself. :

‘ soe *

And, just a final reminder about
our contest. Response so far has
been overwhelming, with area
ufter area calling in for more
tickets. If you don’t have tickets
yet, get in touch with the press club

in your area, or the Tribune office. .

But, remember everything has to
be wound up by our Victory
Banquet on June 19. Good luck and
let’s keep the drive moving as it
should.

Aid peace work

The Fraser Valley Peace
G@ommittee announced this week
that it had raised $173 at a sale of
garden plants last Saturday and
Sunday in White Rock. Proceeds of
the sale are to help finance peace
activities.

“We hold this earth in trust for
future generations. As concerned
citizens we vigorously oppose the
construction of the Trident nuclear
submarine and missile system.
Canada, as a member of NATO,
must be aware that because this is
a first-strike weapon, it is an of-
fensive rather than a defensive
one. It not only poses a real en-
vironmental danger as regards
nuclear destruction, but is one of
the most provocative systems ever
planned.

“Therefore we ask you, as our
representative, to make this
concern known to the United States
government.”

Frieda Knott, a member of the
Victoria Survival Committee, said
the aim of the telegram is to jolt
the Canadian government out of its
head-in-the-sand policy toward the
missile base already under con-
struction.
