The Gi 1) OV. 980 ® yauizzer NO DEATH LIKE IT In the past few months we have been subjected to strategically placed billboard advertisements and bus ads that try to entice men into the armed forces. _ Most of these ads are located near welfare and unemployment offices on the east side of town. This cynical attempt to entice the poor and unemployed with ‘No Life Like It" is part of the preparations being made for World War III. Do we want to be cannon fod- der to secure multinational company investments? Join the growing number of people that are defacing these offensive ads. A litle red paint in a styrofoam cup goes a long way towards pointing out there's “no death like it"! PLUTONIUM - GOD OF HELL Plutonium — the residue of used up nuclear reactor uranium fuel — is the worst man-made poison. It is so poisonous that a millionth of a gram in your lungs will give you cancer and each nuclear reactor creates 400 to 500 pounds of it a year. It remains deadly for an estimated half a million years and can't be gotten rid of. Nobody has worked out that problem yet. You don't know you've breathed it into your lungs, you can't smell it, you can’t taste it and you can't see it; nor can Doctors determine if you've got plutonium in your lungs or tell if your cancer was caused by plutonium. In Hanford, Wash. in the mid 70's they lost 115,000 gallons of highly toxic radioactive waste containing plutonium as well as other waste products. How much damage will be caused when it gets into the nearby Col- umbia River supplies the water to several cities? In San Francisco Bay there are 45,000 55 gallon drums, also containing Plutonium, dumped there by the military. A third to a half are ruptured and leaking. A federal nuclear official said there's a possibility that some of estimated 110 kilograms of deadly uranium — enough to make 8 nuclear bombs — miss- ing from a fuel plant may have been stolen. Once radioactive material gets into the environment you can never get it back. When a spill or leak is reported in the media they don't explain that it gets into the food chain and is concentrated there or that it takes at lest 15 years to develop cancer. They don’t explain that babies and children are very sensitive to the ef- fects. They just say, “Don't worry, it's safe.” 4000 copies of this pamphlet were distributed and installed in the Read the Buzzer' slots on the city buses without Hydro's consent.

ABORTION: A RIGHT TO CHOOSE We read they took salts of lead, copper, zinc and mercury. We read they let themselves fall down stair- cases, we read she injected vinegar into the bladder, we read her womb was perforated by a knitting needle, by a probe, we read hemorrhage, we read inflamma- tion, we read that she drank a solution of soap and then ran for a quarter of an hour, we read she remained for four days in her room bathed in her own blood with no food and no water, we read pain, we read illness. Raymond McLeod a Vancouver lawyer wrote a letter to Attorney General Allan Williams demanding that he prosecute anyone who disregards the Criminal Code’s provisions on therapeutic abortion. Lawyer McLeod, who says he is not a member of any anti-abortion group (though his wife is a member of pro-life) suggests compliance with the code which states that procuring a miscarriage is a very serious offence — punishable by life imprisonment. The code also states that any woman who undergoes an illegal abortion can be jailed for two years. Victoria General, Royal Jubilee and Surrey Memorial hospitals have hospital boards that have banned therapeutic abortions contrary to the views of many of the doctors. .Our provincial health minister Rafe Mair is opposed to the right of women to choose a clinically safe abor- tion because of his personal moralistic views, forcing women to resort to backstreet or self-inflicted abor- tions. Is this a man truly concerned with the health and well-being of women in this province? Women have a right to their own bodies; their sex- uality; motherhood and a clinically safe abortion if they so choose. RALLY FOR REPEAL OF ABORTION LAWS 2 PM, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1980 KITSILANO SECONDARY SCHOOL 2250 West 10th Ave., Van. STREET POSTERING: A MATTER OF FREE SPEECH The City of Vancouver's recent ban on street poster- ing with a penalty of $2,000 in fines or two months in jail per incident is an attack on free speech. Council's harsh attitude that “postering is not a mat- ter of freedom of speech but a cross between littering and vandalism” is being opposed by over 80 cultural, political, community and women's groups using a combination of legal tactics, direct action and grass roots organizing. Anyone charged under Section 85A (anti-poster sec- tion of the Street and Traffic By-Law) will be defended by a legal defense committee. The first version of the new law was overturned in B.C. Supreme Court on Sept. 8th but an amended version is now in effect with at least six people currently charged for postering on light standards or steet furniture. Poster people have gone on the offensive. On Oct. 21st 120 people turned out at city hall to put up an 1125 foot poster all around the building on walls, doors and windows. The poster, covered with slogans such as: You CAN Fight City Hall; Billboards Are The Posters of the Rich; Repeal the Anti-Poster By-Law; stayed up for hours. Groups that have joined the campaign to repeal the law are adding the words “This is a poster it has a right to be here” to their posters and continuing to put them up in defiance of the law. Why is street postering important? It is the only way that groups without funds for advertising in the media can effectively reach their audiences. City Council's in- sensitivity towards these groups is threatening their ex- istence and that is why they need your support.
