_Meeting at Monday's council

The proposal for a
licensed lounge at the North
Vancouver Recreation

‘Klan be permitted
to distribute
racist literature?’

Jeff Thomson
West Vancouver

No. Definitely not. I think
the KKK should be
restricted in their activi-
2 ties. I think it is terrible
that they are distributing
leaflets to students.

Irene Holmes
North Vancouver

No. We had enough racist
attitudes in the Second
World War with the
Nazis. I think the KKK
spread hate and are
against humanity. We
can't let those kind of
people walk over us and
especially influence our
children.

No. I think the Ku Klux
Klan are disgusting in
their attitudes towards
humanity

Patricia Sadoway
North Vancouver

No. I don't’ think the
KKK should be allowed
to distribute racist hitera

to look at this objectively

He said he looked forward
to “getting both sides of the
coin” at the meeting.

North Vancouver City
Alderman Gary Payne, who
represents the City on the
commission announced the
meeting at their council

meeting.
He made the an-
nouncement during

discussion of a petition from
the Silver Harbour Centre,
signed by 640 people, op-
posing the proposed lounge
and requesting a _ public
hearing. -

The centre sent a copy of
the petition to North Van
District council last week,
who referred it to the
recreation commission.

In addition to the public
meeting, Payne said the rec
commission will also meet
with the executive of Silver

Harbour to explain their
stand and listen to
responses.

Letters requesting a public
meeting on the subject had
been received by both
councils and the North
Shore News prior to the
