Cable service
cut in W. Van

APPROXIMATELY 2,000 West Vancouver Shaw Cable
subscribers were without cable television service on Thanksgiving
Day after a power supply line fuse blew Monday morning.

Subscribers in the Ambleside and British Properties areas tost
cable service for the entire day.

According to Skaw Cable system manager Terry Medd, the
problem was compounded by a mechanical maifunction in the
cable company’s holiday telephone answering service.

“The calls (fram disgruntied TV viewers) didn’t get answered
and emergency crews on standby weren't alerted. We wish to
sincerely apologize,’’ Medd said.

Service was restored by Tuesday morning.

Said Medd, ‘‘We’ve put procedures in place so that hepefully the
mechanical malfunction with the phones won’t happen again.”

Jail-N-Bail
drive succeeds

THE CANADIAN Cancer Society’s first annual Jai!-N-Bail fund-
raising drive is being called an overwhelming success by event or-
ganizers.

The North Shore alone accounted fer approximately $60,000 of
the more than $282,000 raised over three days last week.

To get involved, residents called a Jail-N-Bail hotline to arrange
for the arrest of someone. For a $25 donation, an off-duty police
officer was dispatched to haul the accused off in a paddy wagon.
Once in custody, baii was set and the guilty party had an hour (o
raise bail by phone.

Said North Shore Jail-N-Bail chairman Sally Sapinsky, ‘‘We
were trying to put the fun back into fundraising and this event did
that. The community support was terrific. The people who agreed
to go to jail were gencrous and everybody had a wonderful time.’”

The effort was supported by more than 45 sponsors. Over 90
volunteers helped to keep the Park Royal South Jail-N-Bail
hoosegow epen for business by acting as judges, clerks and juries.

North Vancouver RCMP and West Vancouver Police provided
the manpower and transportation to make the local zrrests.

The event was held in White Rock, Vancouver, New Westminster
and on the North Shore. Funds reised will be used to help fund the
society’s research, education and patient services programs. Indi-
viduals interested in signing up for next year’s organizing commil-
tee or companies interested in sponsoring the event can call the
West Vancouver unit of the Canadian Cancer Society at 925-5952.
