Way,

Nor should it be forgotten that Sunday
shopping was defeated in last year’s West
Van referendum by a mere 3% of the ballot,
with: 48% of the nearly 11,000 veters in
favor of it. Meanwhile, Park Royal estimates
it will jose about $25 million in 1985 as a
result and is pressing for a further referen-
dum this November. The chances of winning
it look:healthy, now that West Vancouverites
have been able to sample the open Sunday in

A.R.Phillips of North Van,

who’s nuts about royalty,
promptly mailed the pictures
to Her Majesty and back in
short order came the reply:

Dear Jenny: I am com-
