Dear Editor: The following letter was sent to Mr. Al McLean, MPP Simcoe East. Iam a student of Georgian College, and also one of your constituents. One of the rights we are entitled to as Canadians, is the access to education. While we are not expecting you to take sides in the matter of the current strike which is denying us this education; we do howevervexpect that you, as our elected representative to Queen's Park, will speak out on our behalf. Our government has the authority to legislate our teachers back to the classrooms. While this action may not be viable in all situations, it has been done before and we believe that in this case it is of the utmost necessity that Mrs. Stephenson must be made aware of our views of this matter and you, as our voice in Queen's Park must relay A fine first stroke Dear Editor: The National Citizens' Coalition congratulates Prime Minister Mulroney for his decisive action in putting a number of Crown corporations on the auction block. The move was _ particularly gratifying because the sale of Crown corporations was an initiative actively promoted by the Coalition during the last federal election. A national Gallup poll commissioned by the Coalition earlier this year showed that 57 percent of decided respondents wanted to sell Crown corporations which perform functions that could be done by the free enterprise sector. Only 27 percent of respondents opposed selling them. Some other Crown corporations Mr. Mulroney Wants MPP to help ' Mary St. our message to her. There is a T.V. Commercial supporting education which states - "A Mind is a terrible thing to waste"--stop wasting ours, we need and demand action now. Let us see responsible government action to support our rights.

Not only would the billions of dollars in revenue from these sales help to reduce the huge federal deficit, but we would reduce future in- terest carrying charges as well. It will be refreshing. to see innovative, imaginative free enterprisers turn the losses into profits and jobs in coming years. A fine first stroke, Mr. Mulroney, now let's see the follow-through.
