Home sweet home

JUST OCCUPIED is the airport’s new combined services building. It’s home to the airport's two
fire trucks and firefighters, its mechanics and equipment operators. The structure was started in
1988 and with equipment, cost approximately $2 million. That's firefighter Michel Grandbois
standing beside one of the firetrucks.

Certainly, it

can also be reached through
A&W, McDonald’s and the
shopping malls. Why not in-
stall condom dispensers in
public washrooms and keep
the schools out of it?

Teenagers need to learn
their. ABC's in that environ-
ment and not be titilated by
condom dispensers.

It seems to me this issue
falls under the category of
preventative health care, Is it
fair to dump that respon-
sibility on the school district?

Better use of logs needed

Dear Sir:

The question is always the
same. Why are logs being ex-
ported out of B.C., but the
question should be, why is it
economically benefecial to
do this?

The answer is because
B.C. sawmills apparently
don’t know how to properly
market their lumber pro-
ducts.

The companies in Japan
wy Pay more. for the logs and

these logs to Japan because
they get much higher prices
for their end product than do
B.C. sawmills. They do a far
superior job of marketing
their lumber products.

At one time Japan had the
benefit of low wages in their
manufacturing . plants. But
this is no longer the case as
wages in Japan are as high,
and in many cases, higher
than they are in B.C.

They only have one way to
make a return on: the logs

tr

they buy and that is to get a
sufficient price for their
finished products.

It is time to take a long
hard look at lumber
marketing in this province. If
Japan can demand the prices
they do for their lumber pro-
ducts, then this same market
must be possible for. B.C.
lumber products, B.C.
lumber marketing people
must be doing something
wrong:and’ it is:time to find

out what that sémethirig is.

Earth Day all year round

handed in huge quantities to
consumers every hour of
every day? Serious and deter-
mined international planning
and co-operation is required
to only start reversing the
progressing destruction of
the world we live in,

On the other hand to quit
throwing garbage on our
streets, schocl areas, forests
and everywhere else we go
can be accomplished right
now. Just don’t litter.

To throw garbage for
others to enjoy involves a
measure of lacking discipline

and culture that some of us
do not possess. Littering is a
deep-rooted problem of at-
titude and lack of education.

For those where a certain
built-in personal decency is
not present, where all
reminders by parents and
teachers fail to click, as a last
resort we must promote that

laid,

Let a judge decide whether
garbage throwers shoud be

elected to clean up the streets -

for a few weekends and have
their names published in the

There is no way Japan
should be able to pay more
for logs than B.C. sawmills.

The answer is not to stop
the export of any logs from
B,C, as that is only a band-
aid cure for a much larger
problem. The answer is to get
sufficient return for lumber
products so log prices in B.C.
will be in line with world
prices.

No one wants to send logs
to Japan but it is necessary iri
certain ‘circumstances in:

operating financially viable.
