A North Vancouver
company is considering
constructing four  sub-
mersible vessels for the
Soviet Union in Europe
because of the _ federal

government's refusal to
grant revocation insurance,
a spokesman said.

Mac Thompson, president
of Canadian Underwater
Vehicles Limited said the
company has already signed
a $19.5 million contract to
supply the four vessels and

Department of Human

but is not yet thinking
of abandoning plans to

department of Human
Resources said Monday.

The department wants to
establish a group home, at
953 Gladstone Avenue, for
children taken from care.

But District Mayor Don
Bell says he considers it a
priority that a joint group
home bylaw be worked out
first with the City of North
Vancouver, a move that may
take until November.

Last month, Macbeth told
neighbors of the Gladstone
home that Human Resources
could not wait indefinitely
for approval.

This week, Macbeth told
the News that the depart-
ment is “looking to the
coming school year” as the
tame when they would need a
definite answer whether the

ongoing and we have to plan
for those,” he said.

“To this point we've been
managing to cope with the

service needs,” Macbeth
said.

But he added that “any

Shore, is pictured on her
hundredth birthday
Monday. Mrs. Breedon has
lived at the Four Seasons
Lodge in North Vancouver
since moving from Deep
Cove, which was her home
for several years, and many
of her friends called in to

Shore had seen in as many
days, with Mrs. Breedon’s
birthday falling just one
day after that of fellow
centenarian Mrs. Jessie
