GRAFFITI appeared on every available ex:
terior wall of Stanley Humphries Secondary
School on the weekend destroying a
relatively recent paint fob valued at several
thousand dollars. Vice-principal Jim Norris
told the Castlegar News the act of vandalism
occurred some time from 4 p.m, Sunday to
later that evening when discovered by
police, He found it “amazing” that there were
no witnesses since darkness does not come

that early and during the later hours the
building is well lighted. He said a group of
students have approached the administration
volunteering labor to patch-over the Graffiti,
A meeting of grade 12 students Monday
morning found them ail “incensed” by the
act, he said. The same fedlings have been
expressed by the grade 11's. TI

found that these anti-nuclear

Challenges ‘Facts’

Editor, Castlegar News:

This letter is submitted in
response to a letter under
“Voice of the People" from J.
“Wrong Way” McLellan.

1, It was Mr. Barrett who
“hurled” the challenge on a
one-to-one basis. It was Mr.
Bennett who declined, insisting
that Mr. Kinnaird and Mr.
Williams be there as well.

2. The TV being “discreet-

ly switched off if the kids were

around” is self-explanatory as
to your naivete concerning-Mr.
Kinnaird’s knowledge of Bill 46
and, in. particular, Section 11.

8. The people you refer to
as “the unorganized public”

smacks of more naivete on your
part. The “public” was out in
droves and well-informed as a
result of their organized ef-
forts. E

4, The tone of your com-
ment and the substance of your
comment concerning Mr. Bar-
rett and “certain American
governors, senators and con-
gressmen", is so much drivel
and snide to boot. _

5. Mr. Barrett is not the
“former” leader of the NDP. He
‘is the, present leader.

6. Perhaps, J. McLellan,

you should read Bill 46 yourself.
