Community
depends
on ‘What's
Going On’

Dear Editor:

The What’s Going On column is
a marvellous vehicle for non-profit
organizations to get news on their
upcoming activities to the residents
of our North Shore, We thank you
for it. Both the organizations and
the public at large benefit from
this free service.

We have all come to rely upon it
— those of us wishing to get in-
formation ‘out and those of us

‘ishing to participate in communi-
ty activities, to hear speakers and
to attend functions.

Therefore, when two days’ activ-

ities — Tuesday, Feb. 3 and Wed., ©

Feb. 4 — are completely omitted
from the preceding Sunday, Friday
and Wednesday papers, it does
cause problems for many.

Please remember, when one or
two days are totally missed from
your What’s Going On column it
plays havoc with the lives of many
North Shore residents.

We have al! come to depend on
this valuable community service.

Recycling info
not junk mail

Dear Editor:

Further te your editorial (Jan.
25) on garbage and the need to
re-examine what it is that we are

calling garbage and throwing
away, may I alert your West Van-
couver readers to the insert in their
recent water rates bill.

It was not a piece of junk mail,
but a laminated card meant to be
saved and pinned up near their
telephones.

Under eight categories — news-
papers, glass, metal, kitchen and
garden waste, clothes and house-
hold items, used-building
materials, motor oil, and hazard-
ous waste — it explained either
how to recycle them or how to pass
them on for re-use,

If you have missed seeing it, as I
ruefully suspect is very likely,
please pick up another at the
library or the municipal hall. A tot
of voluntecr time and effort went
into its production and it was pric-
ed at cost by the printer.

How long has it been
since you gave yourself a
special treat? Just because
you deserve it?

Something special, like
running away for the
weekend. Just the vo of
you. To a beautiful hotel
that pampers you with
gourmet dining, a sauna
and jacuzzi to soothe and
relax you, an exciting
night club filled with fun
and music. A hotel that
gua‘antees you a view
with a room—every room!

Come to your senses:
Come for the weekend.

Dear Editor:

lam amazed that a newspaper would publish such
senseless, hate-mongering trash as what the North
Shore News printed on Feb. 15, page ©. in Get This
Straight.

I think Doug Collins got it straight from his toifet
bow], which he often confuses with his typewriter, as
a result of too many years in the *‘watering hole’,
pickling his brain in an effort to forget that his
wonderful ‘‘white folk’? have an unparalleled record
for displacing other peoples, extinguishing entire
cultures and overtaking other countries, including the
one he has the privilege of living in.

Of course, when it benefits the good white folk, it’s

Just survival of the fittest. All his bigoted foaming at
the mouth must be a giggle for the real natives of this
land.

Certainly Mr. Collins is entitled to his own opinion
but, housed in the racist filth he excretes, his opinion
is not fit to be printed in any community-serving
publication, Af! it serves is to add to the diseased
mentality of this world.

I can only assume he has so intimidated the editing
staff with his low-minded tirades that they are afraid
to do their jobs. Perhaps they fear crosses will be
burned on their lawns by brave men in white hoods.
