istry is protesting against
Pacific Western Airlines’ de-
cision to cancel its already
restricted service to Grand

Grand Forks is running at:

low frequency of flights, bad
scheduling and lack’ of prom-

times a week from Grand

couver and return. But it will

only book passengers out of
Grand Forks, not from Van-

tor town,. which has a pop-
ulation of about 5,000.
