We're saving money in BC when we build more public buildings with wood. With technological advances in wood products, wood is often more cost-effective than competing structural materi- als. It's also energy efficient - and looks great! Wood is nature's choice, so make it yours.

I'm sure Mr. Brown is aware that in the majority of cases it's the angler and not the gear that decides the successfulness of the day. By his own admission he out-fished two bait fishermen. Who had the greater impact that day? If the fishery was truly endangered then it should be closed and closed to all, not left open so that it favours only a small, select group. I use my boat to gain advantage over other fishermen, not the fish. Apparently, the Skeena Angler uses his column for the same purpose. Rick Wallace, Terrace, B.C. Advice to Greenpeace Dear Sir: You Greenpeacers could do one of two things. If you feel you must preserve a bunch of rotten hemlock, the phantom grey wolf and the great singing white, black and brown spirit bears, put your money where your mouth is. Pay me and everybody else in the resource base industries $80,000 per year ($100,000 for loadermen) plus benefits, and we'd gladly stay home. ~ : .... ,, ~ ...... , Pay the companies their anticipated profits and expenses, and they would gladly haUl their equipment to Richie Bros. Pay the government stumpage fees and pay all of the spinoff industries their expenses and profits plus 7 per cent and 7 per cent and you would shut down all resource based industries. Or you could gather driftwood from river banks to keep yourself warm in your mud huts, eat lots of carrots so you don't waste energy on lightbulbs, continue importing empty dried corn cobs from Ontario and Iowa to wipe your back side, park your flower powered, blue smoke belching ancient VW vans, get your welfare cheques printed on shredded birch bark and let us with legitimate jobs do our thing.
