A9-Wednesday, June 25, 1980 - North Shore News mailbox Burrard View worst of ‘old schools’ Dear Editor: Since the letter from Stella “Jo” Dean was printed on June 1, I have visited all three schools mentioned by her, and feel that I must correct some of the im- pressions she left.

They do have some inconveniences such as cloakrooms in the open halls and fairly steep staircases, but they are safe, well-built, and well-situated in their attendance areas. They have adequate indoor and out- door play areas and, in case of fire, buildings can be contains a chart that lists the “Actual Use Effectiveness” of various methods of birth control. One woman in 20 who uses an IUD will become pregnant within a year. One in ten who depends on a condom will become pregnant within a year. One in four to five who depends on coitus interruptus will become pregnant in a year. Many women cannot tolerate the birth control pill which docs provide good protection: there are serious side effects for some women. These facts tell us that couples today cannot cn- tirely control their fertility.

In contrast to this, Burrard View School was built immediately following World War 1 at a time when building materials, money, and skilled labour were m short supply. It is of frame construction, is poorly situated on the extreme edge of its attendance area, and has inadequate playgrounds unwanted pregnancies. They are entitled to the right to on three different levels. In case of fire, no pumper truck can negotiate the driveway up to the school, there is little place for children to go to avoid both fire and fire- fighting equipment, and seven classrooms, situated a full storey above ground level, do not have direct outside access.

North Vancouver Extend hours of dog control Dear Editor: I agree wholeheartedly after reading about the mother racoon and _ her battered baby, that the hours for dog-control be extended from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Dog owners, are becoming very callous — not seeming to care what heartache and misery their own pets may cause to both wildlife or other varied pet-life.
