SERVES IMPORTANT FUNCTION

oe ee praised

Dear Editor:
I would like to say how impressed I was with the
first edition of the Lynn Valley Echo paper.

I feel these smaller’ ‘neighborhood’ community
Papers are not only interesting, but serve an im-
portant function within a thriving ‘community.

The Echo was very comprehensive in its format
and layout, covering Lynn Valley very thoroughly
from the mall, to the community centre to the

canyon park and human interest articles on some.

residents.
Lynn Valley is a growing, scenic, popular com-

munity and I feel the Echo offered very good and
diverse coverage.

I personally hope that a pool will one day be
built in Lynn Valley Centre, as this would enhance
the community and offer much-needed facilities
for young and old alike. A 50-metre pool with all
the trimmings may be financially unrealistic at this
time, but it isa dream to hope for.

I also hope a pub is approved in the area, as
such facilities as these and restaurants are. sadly
Jacking in the area.

Make Draycott
house a museum

-? Lynas - Valley

Dear Editor:

The article in the Sept. 25
; Echo regarding
~ Walter Draycott raises the fol-

~~ lowing questions.

Why does Mr. ~ Draycott’s
“house, which is now neglected,

» remain empty and overgrown?

Would it not make a perfect
little, museum for Mr.

. Draycott’s, and indeed many
other local pioneers’, authentic

‘artifacts and reproductions of

his memories through his
photographs, maps, etc, depic-
ting the birth and development
of Lynn Valley? :
. More than a few people
would be surprised to learn
through one of Mr. Draycott’s
maps, that a flume passed
through their property at one
time, on its way down to
Hastings Mill!
