Where's the Logic?

Editor, Castlegar News:

Thave been an employee of

years and a member of the
BCGEU since it's formation.

In past weeks, I have
observed that the BCGEU
headquarters building in Nel-

‘plastered with NDP signs.

If this union is represent-

of B.C., I resent the implication
that all BCGEU members are
NDP. :

If 101 Baker. St. is to be
plastered with signs, it should
have all parties rep d

choice of whether or not to join

choice of which political party-
