you feel
about the
Westar
sawmill
sale?

Dick Coxford

| think the sale will
be great for the overall
economy, especially in
Prince Rupert as the
move will undoubtedly
open up a number of
jobs there. I’m con-

what the company’s
long range plans are
for the sawmill in Ter-
race. I'm hoping those
plans won't affect jobs.

Margaret Smith

! wasn’t especially
happy about the sale
to a Quebec firm. |
would have preferred
to see the sawmill pur-
chased by a company

in B.C. or at least
western Canada. But if
the business firm
creates jobs, | guess
there Is no harm done.

Sherry Anderson

If Westar wasn't do-
ing well financially |
can see the sale as be-
ing a good move
through the introduc:
tion of a new group.

Robert Doucet
| think the sale will
be good for the com-
munity especially if the
company intends to
hire more people.

It doesn’t make any
difference to mé par-
ticularly. The sale is up
to the parties concern-
ed. Time will tell
whether. the business
venture ‘has been a
good or bad move.

Diane Wyatt

| think the business
sale should work out
fine. 1 would prefer to
see that, than for
Westar to have closed
down which may or
may not have been a
consideration.

Transportation route needed

To the editor,

I am concerned about
the Sande overpass.

It has been an irritant
since I first drove into
Terrace nine. years ago.
Who, I must ask, en-

gineered it? Who assign-
ed the location? How
many more deaths will it

take before something is
done about it?

I know some of the
players in this mis-
adventure — CN,
Ministry of Highways,
the municipality, Where
are those people now?
Are they sharing in the
guilt and remorse of this
ill-designed structure?

Terrace is a transpor-
tation center. We owe
the truckers and
pedestrians a safe
journey through our
town. In my opinion, if
we can afford Expo, we
can afford a proper
transportation route(s)
on Highway 16 through
Terrace.

Yours truly,

Terrace, B.C.

To the editor,

Fluoride is a prescrip-
tive, cumulative drug —
an industrial waste pro-
duct which is added to
our drinking water in
order to treat us, not the
water. |

The function of a
public water supply is to
provide safe drinking
water and not to serve as
a vehicle for dispensing
drugs to treat people.
Fluoridation is, in my
opinion, a forced mass
medication of people
without regard to their
needs or tolerance to it.
It deprives us of our con-
stitutional right to
freedom of choice.

Fluoride ingestion has
never been proven to be
safe. There are no
laboratory studiés in ex-
istence that prove the
safety of fluoride inges-
tion. Fluoridation has
been rejected because of
its apparent dangers to
health and its ineffec-
tiveness by approximate-
ly 13 European nations
and major cities across
Canada and the U.S.

Sodium fluoride is
supposedly the most tox-
ic inorganic poison on
earth, more deadly even

Sign
bylaw
considered

TERRACE — Bob
Hallsor, clerk ad-
ministrator for the City
of Terrace, said that the
municipality is consider-
ing drafting a sign by-
law.

Hallsor said that the
move would help define
formal requirements for
signs. For example, said
Hallsor, the minimum
and maximum height of
signs and where the signs
can be placed for adver-
tising would be outlined.
There’s been no deadline
set for initiating the by-
law, Hallsor added.

Fluoride use questioned

Letter

than arsenic or cyanide.
It is used as rat poison. It
can cause cancer.

Fluoride does not boil
off (for coffee, tea,
soup, formula, etc.), but
becomes more concen-
trated as it boils since it
is a solid salt and not a
gas.

In fluoridation there is
little control over the
total daily

quantity of water that
people drink each day -as
well as other sources of
fluoride intake - cannot
generally be control-
led. Some people such as
diabetics, athletes and
foundry workers may
drink several gallons of

water daily which could |

cause them to consume
toxic levels of fluoride,
A member of the In-
ternational Society for
Fluoride Research states
that fluoride: inhibits
important enzymes

‘essential to life; in-

terferes with thyroid hor-

intake of...
fluoride since the total

mone production and ac-
tivity; is more potent
than cyanide as a
respiratory inhibitor; in-
creases the incidence of
mongolism (Down's
Syndrome); causes
allergies; causes loss of
potassium from red
blood cells; initiates and
aggravates the formation
of kidney stones; ag-
gravates arthritis; delays
tooth eruption; can
damage the spinal cord;
causes bone fractures
and liver damage; pro-
duces anemia and causes
hardening of the arteries.
It is now 1986, and in
my opinion the residents
of Terrace are wasting
the taxpayers’ money on
what some experts call
mass poisoning. I urge
the residents of Terrace
to give serious thought
and consideration to this
questionable practise
and to demand that each
individual have the
choice of whether they
want to consume
fluoride through their
public water system.
Yours truly,
Grethe Brorup,
