I careful- ly drove into my own drive- way, only to discover that the ‘‘party’’ was in the house next door. I became some- what alarmed and suspicious when I could hear so many voices, so much foul language, beer cans being thrown around and the ugly sound of a fight or ‘‘rum- ble’’. Because I was alone, |! was afraid to approach the house alone, I decided to call the police and file what they call a ‘‘disturbing the quiet”’ complaint. Within a few minutes a West Vancouver police AND KIT NO CHARGE 5 YR. WARRANTY INCLUDES CASE LENS CLEANING cruiser arrived and when the constable assessed the situa- tion, he called for help.

Furthermore, |! commend wish to the police con- wrong. It is toying with ‘‘af- firmative action’’, the discredited idea that ethnic minorities must be hired on a quota basis because they can- not qualify for civil service jobs on their own. Wrong! Given the opportunity they can win out over others. They can earn government jobs in their own right. Hon. Jack Davis, MLA North Vancouver-Seymour stables who exercised great patience and tolerance in dealing with insolent, rude and arrogant youths who do not seem in any way in- timidated by officers of the law, much less respect them. Many of the teenagers are from our homes and not necessanly ‘‘punks’’ from somewhere else. I] would like to conclude with the following suggestion to parents as we approach the festive season, that we, the guardians of these teenagers, show a little more courage in exercising discipline with our children which they will come to respect — and it will make our law-enforcing policemen’s job more mean- ingful in dealing with more serious issues.
