One answer to Bill Bennetts’

quandary with ICBC and other
Corporations
might be for government to
sell one or all of them to the

tailing Crown

NDP. That way, all B.C.

socialists would have the

opportunity to invest in
themselves. If the NDP has
faith in the insurance system
as established by way of ICBC
then let's sell it to them and

see how long they are able to

operate. In the case of the ship
they could go for a free ride.
Yours sincerely

Now that we have a

Businessmen.

Now that I.C.B.C. is to start
off debt free.

There is no reason why the
ICBC cannot provide in-
surance coverage cheaper
than anyone else on a non
profit basis.

Or.on an equal profit basis to
private insurance, the profit
would be transferred to
General Revenue, or placed in

During the last election the
private insurance companies
regaled us with ‘‘Thanks for
the Memory’’. I can’t make up
my mind which song is more
appropriate for the average
Joe today. ‘“‘Thanks for the
Memory’’, for one of the
lowest car insurance rates in
Canada; or the song: ‘‘Who’s
Sorry Now?”’, for one of the
highest rates in Canada?

Dr. McGeer tells us that
LC.B.C. is in a financial mess,
and, in ‘‘a state of shock’’

“We can’t do anything.”
Remember we (and I am

You don’t have to be a great

letters make a big pile on your
MA’s or MP’s desk — and they
are all votes. Remember the
saying, ‘‘The pen is mightier
than the sword.”

Leo Tolstoy said many,
many years ago: “I sit on a
man’s back choking him, and
making him carry me, and yet
assure myself and others that
I am sorry for him, and wish
to lighten his load by all
possible means except by

getting off his back.

The back he is referring to is

yours and mine.

Editor, The Review, Sir:

The allegation in your
newspaper by your
correspondent Mr. Reginald
S. Davis of Canoe Cove as to
having seen a white shark in
Hagans creek is absolutely
preposterous.

Even I, as a comparative
newcomer to this country
know that there are no such
creatures as white sharks in
this part of the world. A black
shark maybe, but even so,
there is positively no way a
member of the shark family
could possibly navigate those
falls that descend from the
creek into the bay, unless of
course your Canadian sharks
are endowed with an_ inor-
dinately powerful pair of
wings.

I suggest Mr. Editor that the
gentleman in question is the
perpetrator of a hoax and I
will personally be at the creek
on the day of the cross country
race to challenge his
assumption that this ferocious
creature will return to harass
the race participants. I would
also suggest that Mr. Davis is
suffering from either
hallucinations or bad eyesight
and should seek immediate
treatment for either one or
both ailments. .

Your newspaper would be
better put to publishing more
serious events in the world
instead of such frivolous
fantasies. .

As I did so many times
during the last war for our
fighting men, I, may consider
setting upa small concession

donating hot tea and crumpets
for the participants of what
must surely be a most
hazardous and_ gruelling
sporting event, this of course
with your permission.

lam yours,

Very Sincerely,

Lady Pamela Norton,
Brentwood.

This weck there was .an
article in the Victorian
warning Hotels and
Restaurants about the high
prices they charge for food
and lodging.

1 wonder if people realize
the difference between a
Union House and a Non Union
operation,

1 work in the Hotel Sidney
which is union - It costs our
boss $4.50 an hour for a

We get a Cost of Living

Editor, The Review, Sir:

I would like to comment on
how much my husband and I
plus many friends have en-
joyed the many letters, pic-
tures and especially the story
about “Eskimo Abbott’’ that
Mr. Reg Davis has submitted
to your paper.

Mr. Davis seems to have a
knack of getting right to the
point and also has made your
paper much more interesting,
we feel. His -pictures and
articles are of our own
community and our own
people which I feel a local
paper should certainly print
more of.

We hope you will be wise
enough to let him submit
many more of the oustanding
articles he seems to come up
with. It would really be a plus
for the Review.

Sincerely

Mrs. K. Lovejoy

2274 James White Blvd.
Sidney

P.S. I don’t know if he’s on
your staff, but if he isn’t, he
sure should be. We really do
enjoy him. Thank you.

Editor’s Note:

Mr. Davis works full-time at
Victoria International Airport
but takes on occasional
assignments for ‘this

hours.

Religious Cover-UP
“To Be Exposed’

The Bible Seminar which is
in the midst of its first week
here in Sidney is experiencing
exceptional success. T.R.
Knoll, who is the lecturer
during the three week survey
of Bible Prophecy, reports
that on Saturday night the
church was filled with less
than 300 people.

Mr. Knoll, a well-known and
influential religious figure
across Canada, has promised
that this week he will reveal
the greatest religious cover-up
of the Christian era. He has
added that when fully unveiled
the cover-up will supersede
that of Watergate. T.R. Knoll
is an associate of George
Vandeman, regular speaker of
the popular T.V. telecast “It Is
Written.”

Thus far during § the
seminar, now. in progress,
Knoll has declined comment
on the subject of the cover-up.
He did say however, that a
relic had been discovered
from the Garden of Eden
which could change the tenor

the

of Christianity, but
valuable find is being
supressed by church

hierarchy. Theologians refuse
to accept it, ministers refuse
to teach it, and entire chur-
ches refuse to believe the
cover-up is true.

Tonight is the night that the
many people in attendance
each evening have been
waiting for, and Knoll has
promised to conceal nothing
and expose everything. Ad-
mission is free, and the
meeting begins at 7:15 in the
Sidney Adventist Church at
10469 Resthaven Dr. near the
hospital.

The title of the subject
tonight is ‘The Beast .of
-Revelation 13 Reported to be
Alive and Well.”
