HE mailbox DK Al - Friday, June 8, 1984 - North Shore News Bed-and-breakfast ‘criminals’ Dear Editor Since the great Philosopher, P.E. Trudeau, said that ‘‘the Government has no place in the bedrooms of the nation’? (and who believes anything that man ever said?) it seems some peo- ple had the temerity to think that they could take the odd guest or two into their own private homes for the occa- sional night or two, and maybe in the process, have their guests make a contribu- tion toward the cost of those property taxes that are break- ing all our backs. Well, our fine upstanding representatives sure put them in their place good and fast. It’s a good thing we gave them so much power, so they can protect us from all these No more Dear Editor After rmding the bus to work for several (5) years, it has come to my attention that people are just not the same any more! What happened to the courteous man or woman who used to give their seat to an elderly person who couldn't find a seat on a full bus? Not to mention a woman with children. I’ve seen kids fall down in the bus before anyone would give them THEIR seat. Five years ago anyone on the bus would have gladly given their seat to foiled criminal elements. Next thing you know these budding landlords will be committing (dare | say it?) free enter- prise. And if they get away with that, who knows where it will end. Maybe they will realise that some of those government services that they are so delighted to pay through the nose for, can also be provided at much less cost, by free enterprise. This is Obviously just the thin end of the wedge, and if we tax- payers are not vigilant and stop these dangerous entre- preneurs before they get started, we could finish up paying a lot less taxes than we do today. Now who in his right mind would want that? Bill Tomlinson North Vancouver West Van Group to clean up NV SPCA a pleasure to live in! Dear Editor: Congratulations, Vancouver. In these troubled times, when there is so much unrest and friction on many levels of our national life, it is a West pleasure to live in West Vancouver. Our West Vancouver municipality, led by Mayor Derrick Humphreys, is competently run and serves us very well. 1 think it time publicly to give praise where praise is due. Keep it up! Ralph Herzstein West Vancouver courtesy on buses the elderly, handicapped or pregnant passenger on a bus going downtown from North Vancouver. Now it’s first come, first stay! Furthermore, there seems to be no common courtesy when it comes to giving the first person on the bus who has to stand in the aisle a place to sit down! I[’m not saying someone standing at the very back of the bus should not be able to sit down when someone sitting at the front leaves. But the se- cond person to come on the mOUNUOPASES BLACK MAX 2006 Plus yoy up to % anoles of s strings (NO che ge) yReg bus that has to stand up always gets the jump on the one who should have had that seat. Finally, if men prefer to see women in high heeled shoes why don’t they remove themselves (with their flat shoes) from their seats and let the poor tottering women sit down. After all, we shouldn't have to suffer for trying to be equal and semi-liberated. Mrs. Sandy Mason North Vancouver TURBO PLUS GRAPHITE With stringing PLUS: all other racquets now on SALE.
