there had been a lack. of. in-
formation or too much = mis-
information. We decided. not. to
put our names to those. letters
until near the end of the cam-
paign as: the object was not to
phone us for our. opinions but, I
repeat, to. ‘contact. ALL can-
didates for their policies. That
was the deliberate and. sole
reason for the anonymity and the
advertisement elsewhere in this
issue of the Review will indicate
that there were several voices
hidden in the wilderness, or
should I say the rural area.
And may I wish a Merry

Christmas to the gentleman who
phoned me to tell me I was yellow
and gutless. He was typical of
those who wanted to.ask us the
questions although we were not
the candidates...

Editor, The Review, Sir:

C-FAX NEWS,.. is. highly
privileged, as we ratepayers are
not; in possessing ..a radio
broadcasting license, issued on
the. authority of the Canadian
Transport Commission.

Jim Hume, The Managing
Editor, should be aware that this
privilege demands, an extreme

sense of responsibility, to the
Canadian Public.
The inaccurate, irresponsible,

and partisan, content of his. C-
FAX NEWS, . EDITORIAL,’
published in the November 29th
edition, of the Sidney Review,
suggests that Jim Hume has
more than newsworthy interest,

election. ..

As he appears ‘to. have | no
residence, or property, in North
Saanich, qualifying him to vote in
that election; perhaps he would
be .good enough to explain his
relationship.

Editor, The Review, Sir:

I have received 2 anonymous
letters re the aldermanic election
for N. Saanich. 1 quote ‘‘This
letter is distributed by concerned
long time residents entirely in-
dependent ..of and-= without
assistance or approval of ‘any
aldermanic candidate.”

The latter part of this sentence
may be correct, but I resent the
possibility of being connected
with it. as: a very. long: time’
resident. I would like through the
medium of your paper to
disassociatie: myself. entirely
from it and from this method of
campaigning.

Ihave felt. and advocated for
“some years that Mallowmot

one. I. would: .like to both
congratulate and thank the

Chamber. of . Commerce — for
organizing a meeting for all

run and a fair hearing was had by
all. Mr. Drost is to be com-

Will there be room for the small

Will there be room for the old

Will there be room. for the

being taxed tothe. straining

Or will there only be room for

provide a seal coated gravel road
for a total cost of $23,000 spread
over three years.

Such a road is estimated to last
three to five years with minimal
maintenance and I.am pleased
that our Public Works staff are
sufficiently realistic to avoid -
attempts at estimating the costs
of any further capital works that
may be required on this extension
beyond the dates indicated. In-
cidentally the Mayor con-
veniently omits reference to the
fact that our grants from the
Provincial Government include
$25 per capita ($90,000 a year
based on our present population)
for construction. and main-
tenance of roads.

Editor, The Review, Sir:

I read. former Mayor J. B.
Cummings stylish and good
humoured letter ‘in last week's
Review on the coming elections.
(I. think -that is: what. he was
referring to).

I. noticed ‘that he had some
kindly comments for two new
candidates: Dr. Ken Martin and
Mr. Thuillier, and am amazed
that .in spite of being so badly
thrashed himself at..the _ last.
election for Mayor, he still finds
time to take this little interest in
local politics, regardless of his
many other interests.

In-my last letter which ‘ap-
peared in your. columns: I won-
dered who had set the tone for the
bad mannered conduct of our
council meetings. I think that Mr.
Cummings has now unwittingly
provided me with the answer.
