On numerous walks down the Cap River during this year’s run I witnessed ‘‘aboriginal rights’’. One young fellow had rip- ped fourteen chinook and coho from the river. I asked him, would there be any left for next year? ‘‘We can't catch ‘em all’’ was part of his answer. Again he whip- time ap- ped his gaffe pole through- the water. Another bragged to me of taking a hundred fish so far. . This is a_ serious issue. What is needed is more common sense, conservation and education---less hand- outs and less aboriginal nights. Don’t be fooled, the fish were here long before the Indians. K.Myles North Vancouver NOW .. Van rsidents. During the summer, at our Seniors’ Activity Centre we had many overseas, oOut-of- town and local visitors to the Centre on 2)st Street. Their complimentary remarks regarding our building were many; while our ‘in town" visitors were envious of our beautiful home and sur- roundings. Four years ago the present site was a muddy parking lot and our classes were held in an old church and the crowded Recreation Centre. The senior executives and staff planned with Mayor Humphreys over years and three years ago their dream came true, and now our 2,200 members have a centre the envy of all seniors. This year our Mayor 1s again up for election, this time against an opponent, and as an appreciative senior, | just want to remind the large semior group in West Vancouver what our Mayor has done for us in providing us with such a ‘‘leisure time home’’. For us all, don’t forget our Blue Bus system which kept us going during the strike, our seashore walks and parks, and plans for future senior housing. Thank you, Mayor Hum. phreys, for what you have done for West Vancouver and for her semors. Grace Schell West Vancouver Dry Pemberton site Dear Editor: Some good may come out of the Pemberton flood fiasco. Residents of the valley can be housed on_ higher ground. Put them up on a bench three miles east of Pemberton Village. That ts the unanimous opinion of planners who have studied the situation in recent years. ‘‘New Pemberton’’ would then be high and dry. Located on ‘a saddle sloping to the south residents would enjoy a fine view, less fog, more hours of sunshine Two small lakes, plenty of water, an existing power line and a . FAKE THE BLUE BUSES.

Taking the long view our federal and provincial governments together with C.M.H.C. should make a break with the past. Ban new housing on the flood plain. Start a new town site that makes sense.

VAN COUNCILS Last Monday, we obtained from the North Vancouver SPCA a five to six week old kitten. It was covered with fleas. | have heard a lot about the complaints regarding that SPCA, but until | was there myself didn’t realize how bad it was. The cats are locked up with no litter boxes, obvious- ly full of fleas and the kittens taken away from their mothers too young. Our vet confirmed our kitten was loo young. Its mother was in another cage. Also, our kit- ten has inflamed intenstines and a problem going to the bathroom’ which probably comes from having no hitter boxes. I imagine a lot of pets are brought back because of the fleas and bathroom problems. Also, 1 understand the method of putting cats down is not approved by vets and is cruel, which makes me ex- tremely angry. { know a group has been trying to do something about this and something better be done soon. The more people who find out about this the more trouble will be created. { will be keeping in touch with the people trying to do something about this abhor. rent situation.
