can continue to enjoy their presence on Fairy Lake for many years to come Sincerely Swan lover Bonn Comfort Actons spokesman emphasized the group has four goals this year We believe that performances of governments toward their own citizens must be a priority in the granting of government de velopment assistan Comfort said is the first goal We advocate an adjustment in the aid priorities of the Cana government for the Central Amer lean region to give priority concern to the basic needs of the people This includes the refusal of government development assistance to EI Salvador and Guatemala because of human rights violations and long term significant bilateral support for Nicaragua We call for direct action by Canada to strengthen the pro tection of refugees In El Salvador Belize Honduras Guatemala and Mexico we strongly recommend mandatory annual review of Canadian Foreign policy rights We urge the Canadian govern to join wtth the governments of France and Mexico among others seeking negotiated rath er than military settlements far the conflicts in Central America One of the way the Ten Days committee hopes to reach these goals is by a letter writing day Comfort points out that a modal letter will be written up and Canadians are urged to use this model for their own letters They will be asked to write various let ters to different politicians with photo copies being sent to the others Ie If iperson writes a let ter to Halton MP Otto Wel lingtons MP and cabinet minister Alan McEachen a photo copy of JeUneka tetter will be sent to Beattle and Beatties tetter win be sent to and and tetter will be sent to snd Comfort noted if Canadians ac ross the country do this It will result in an inundation of mail to Ottawa and someone will have to notice He feels this it
