It is certain to be a source of reassurance to persons concerned by the violent overthrow of Sal- vador Allende, whose mis- managed and scandal-ridden government was as incomp-

etently run as that nbtor- -

ious Coco-Cola republic to the North, the U.S., that the ruling generals (a leisure junta of ITT) are_moving quickly to fulfill their pledge to restore the democratic _ traditions of Chile. Free- don of speech has been re- inforced, including the right to talk freely — even to scream, moan and beg to interrogators and to say a few words before execution; freedom of the press has been preserved (although as of now it is 1imited_to the dry—clean- ing industry,it is expect- ed to be extended any day) far from dismantling All— ende's ambitious land reform program, the gen- erals have guaranteed to all peasants who do not wish to continue to work for rich landlords a plot of land three feet wide by six feet long by six feet deep; even in the poorest working class neighborhoods, soldiers searching for enemies of the new regime, weapons, and leftist literature have been scrupulous in recognizing the ancient principle that a man's home, however humble, is his mausoleum; and free elections are to be re- stored just as soon as the opposition parties, who have been plagued lately by a tragic rash of sudden deaths, can reorganize. And in a further effort. to get things back to normal, the head of the junta, Gen.

Dear Editor,

I am writing in regards to the article "Second Class Citizens" by Fred von Dreger in the CADRE (Sept.24). EPA, in my per- sonal opinion, is one » giant, inefficient rip off. This summer my sister, through a local travel ag— ancy, booked a flight from Ch'town, PEI to Hartford, CT. The flight was supposed to take five hours total- EPA to Air Canada, Air Canada to Delta. We arriv- ed at the airport only to find out the EPA flight was an hour late, thus all other connections would be missed. They told her

.0 0 em,

morning, only to discover that the EPA flight was going to be an hour late again!!!! This time, she had no other choice as she had to be in Hartford that day. As expected, she missed all her connect— ions and a five hour fli— ght (only 800 miles which

. is rather long to begin with) took TWELVEII TWELVE HOURS 1 For $90.! And it‘s only sixteen hours by car! The jet age is upon us, you say? Well‘ EPA, all I can say is you

to come back the next day STINK! \ and try it stand by. So ' she agreed, and we arriv- vehemently,
