WE DO ASBESTOS WE CAN Opintons expressed here are the writers ‘own and do not necessarily reflect the polictes of the Asbestos Sheet or Casstar Asbestos Corporation Ltd. ‘The pay telephone service in Cassiar is deplorable at the very best and intolerable at the very least. Recently we surveyed the public telephone booths and found: 1) 2) Phone in bunkhouse 92 missing Phone in the Rec Centre - door missing from phone booth - no privacy. Phone near former post office building - phone missing - booth smelled as though someone had used it as a public lavatory. Phone in snack bar - it was working, but’ there were three people in line for it. 3) 4) Pay telephones that operate are of utmost importance in a community, such as Casstiar, where a large number of people live in bunkhouses and do not have their own phone. For manv, a pay telephone is thetr only contact with the outside world, other than an understandably slow postal service. Furthermore, the only operating tele- phones are located in buildings that keep limited hours. What does a shift worker do if he wishes to place a call after midnight? We have been in contact with CNT about this matter, and have been assured that the phone on the main street will be relocated in front of the new store, but what is really needed is a pay telephone in each bunkhouse equipped for incoming as well as outgoing calls. It is still not possible to reach single status emplovees by tele- phone, other than if thev are on the job and working near a phone. I am sure that the company does not appreciate having its telephone used for personal calls.

While we realize that there is no latrine up there on the peak, the person responsible for this vulgar and filthy act should have gone away from the working area to attend to his business.

Many eighteenth century theatres had if emblazened across their fire curtains, both to indicate the wonderful fibre from which the curtain was woven, and to apologize for the amateur nature of the performance. We felt it to be most appropriate here.
