Too many ad flyers not Fence off mall's jaywalkers
enough news in News

Dear Editor:

I have noticed with great interest that your
Newspapers are getting bigger and bigger with
each issucsso much se chat Pam stocked up
with clastic bands thar are required just to
keep vour isues together when they get deliv:
cred.

The Sunday Now Pb oissug was the “stray
thar broke the camel's back.” ft was masse
in size but vou have obs ieusiy lost veur tocus
on what veur obligation isto vour redder.

The issue weighed onl 4 ounces ver con-
tained 20 ounces of junk mail: five times the
weight of what your front page states, “Phe
Voice of North and West Vancouver since
1969.~

Is this really the voice of North and West
Vancouver — junk mail, advertising flvers.
and minimal “news”?

1 am not an expert in the field of newspa-
per publishing, but 1 de know that the lesser

the expense to produce a product results ia
greater promt tor che botteny fine

Tocan only assume thar be recening
cheques tram the 22 advertisers is better tor
veur bottom fine than paying a salary and
CAPCUSES tad rope wter ta research and Write
up an informative storvding about the North
Shore.

Surely vou can find mere than tour ounces
or news vith all chars gemng on hetws 4
Horseshoe Bay and Deep Cove?

The first part of the word “newspaper” is
“sews ff Lam wrong then ma ebe we should
change it te *ilyerpaper” net to mention that
T ant now stuck with all this adversising that I
have to carry to the curb to recycle.

} don’t mind advertising as its good for
busines, but please try te focus on what you
are in business for.

Legion appreciates coverage

Dear Editor:

As a veteran of the Second
World War, To very much
appreciated the Remembrance
Day article featuring my
Legion comrade — Fred
Connett, especially since I
served in the same unit in
1939-45 as he did in 1914-
18. We were always led to
believe it was called the
“Corps of Signals” (aka Signal

Dear Editor:

On behalf of my over
3,000 colleagues of the Royal
Canadian Legion and proba-
bly a further 6,000 of their
relatives and friends who
reside on the North Shore I
wish to thank vou for the
photograph on page 3 of the
Nov. [3 North Shore News
issue which appeared to rec-
ognize the significance of the

day and the fact that probably
several thousands of vour
readers congregated at the
nwo cenotaphs to remember
with thanks the | sacrifice
which allows us all so much
freedom in this country —
and even the freedom to
ignore this somewhar solemn
occasion!
