Supreme Court ac- tion against two West Vancouver companies seeking compensation for alleged damage to a ship that happened as a result of the transportation of a sulphur load. South American Marine Corp. Ltd. of Cape Town, South Africa, is seeking damages from Canpotex Shipping Services Ltd. and Kynoch Fertilizers Ltd., both of West Vancouver, and Shell Canada Ltd., based in Calgary, Alberta. The plaintiff's claim arises from an Oct. 12, 1988 shipment of sulphur from Vancouver to South Africa aboard the vessel Strahthorn. Because of the alleged state of the sulphur, damage was allegedly sustained by the vessel. The resultant repair costs to the vessel allegedly range into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Canpotex is a major supplier of potash to Indonesia. Squamish Band elects council THE SQUAMISH Indian Band recently elected a new band coun- cil.

Van mall raises $9,000 for Children’s Fund CAPILANO MALL has raised $9,000 to donate to The Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund after its suc- cessful ‘Believing in Santa should be free,’ campaign. From Nov. 18 to Dec. 23, children were treated to a free pic- ture with Santa Claus. More than 10,000 pictures were taken. “It was trying to promote that a visit with Santa should be free and that the money saved there could be spent on a child less fortunate,”’ said Jeri Jans, marketing coor- dinator for Cambridge Leasehold Ltd., the company which owns Capilano Mail. Black’s Photography provided the film and developing for the project. ‘That was North Shore people that raised $9,000. It was a first class effort,’’ Jans said. Cambridge presented Nicole Parton, the fund’s drive chairman, with a cheque for $51,000 on Jan. 5. The additional money was rais- ed in campaigns at Eaton’s Centre Metrotown, Oakridge Centre and Lansdowne Park Shopping Centre, all holdings of Cambridge. Parton, a reporter with The Sun and a North Vancouver resident, said the money will go to support children’s projects throughout the province. ‘We try to meet the needs that are not being met,’’ Parton said, adding that 1989 the fund distributed $110,000 to 20 projects. “Our goal would be to fund a major project in B.C.,’’ she said, noting B.C. lacks a major residen- tial detox centre for youth. The target this year is to raise $330,000 to add to the fund’s capital, from which the interest made is distributed. put your waste on a diet RECYCLE CALIFORNIA NAVEL U.S. FANCY CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CELERY BEST SELECTION FINE QUALITY LOW PRICES ORANGES: 2 ANJOU PEARS 49%, KIWI FRUIT 1 3.99%...
