Let's get back fo reality The -Castlegar and_ District Teachers’ Association executive ~ sounds like it has been taking cues from a used car salesman when it suggests that the way for the Castlegar school board to save money and prevent teacher layoffs Is to have teachers take leaves of absence with 40 per cent pay. The executive argues that the move would give teachers incen- tive to leave their jobs and save the board 60 per cent of the teachers’ salaries. 2 “Both statements are true, but wo they have anything to do with the issue? No. ‘The issue is education funding. However, the provincial gover- nment hasn't indicated it will be letting loose the treasury purse ‘strings| If that's the case and the h i board ‘must lay of t should do so just as‘it is done everywhere else in the province — by seniority. The teachers’ plan seems more like a sleight of hand than anything else. A rose is a rose is a rose. And layoffs are layoffs, no matter if we try to call them “leaves of absen- ce" or anything else. And who has ever heard of laying off employees with 40 per _ cent pay?

The purpose is to reunite comrades’ who have a special bond between them, . by virtue of their unique experiences and ‘recognized contributions to the Peace and freedom we have enjoyed for almost four decades. i Four days of activities are on the program, including Command recep- tion rooms, a banquet, concert and ball, a visit toa flying station, an air show, gala ‘luncheon, static displays and a cenotaph parade and memorial service. ; ; Previous reunions were held in 1970, 1976 and 1980, each one ‘being larger and more spectacular than the others.

For the number of questions she raises and their respective inconsis- tencies ‘and misrepresentations there would hardly be enough pages in the whole issue of Castlegar News to give them coverage, nor will readers have enough patience. to follow up the pros and cons that will inevitably be brought up... The Doukhobor question has been handled by the Expanded Kootenay Committee for Inter-Group Relations in hearings that so far fill 26 volumes of transcripts. And yet the ground has not been totally covered, with the Freedomites complaining the loudest that they haven't yet said all they have. to say - mainly that they are not to blame for the terror they wilfully committed, that they were “instru- cted”, “invited”, etc., ete., ete.
