> The Civic Assembly has once again found itself at the centre of attention: people are being drawn into it without their knowledge, and the teacher Anton Trepka has publicly dissociated himself from this organisation.

Ever since the criminal past of the Assembly's "president", Valeysha, came to light, and all attempts to cleanse this club of such elements proved impossible, every self-respecting person has turned away from it. Nevertheless, the cunning "president", in spite of this, paid their dues himself, just so as to be able to show his "mighty patrons" that decent people too "cooperate" with him.

In connection with this, citizen Anton Trepka, a respected Belarusian public figure, teacher at the Vilnia Belarusian Gymnasium and its former director, in a letter to the editors of "S. B." asks us to make it generally known that he does not wish to belong to the Civic Assembly and asks that this organisation not count him as its member.

We hope that all other self-respecting citizens, whose names Valeysha abuses, will do the same.
