The referendum com-
Mittee is doing its part to
help that situation along by
placing advertisements in
which West Van readers are
invited to complete a ballot
and return it to the com-
mittee ‘to provide = an
unofficial poll of ‘West
Vancouver opinion.”

Dr. Hanley stresses the
urgency for the federal
government to vigorously
Promote nuclear disar-
Mament negotiations bet-
ween the U.S. and the Soviet
Union, as well as a freeze on
the production and
deployment of such
weapons.

“As a physician I know
there is no effective medical
response to the dropping of a
megaton atomic bomb,” he
says.

“A one=-megaton ~bomb~~

exploded over Vancouver
would kill 50 per cent of the
people instantly. Of the rest,
half would die in the first six
days and another quarter by
14. days. Most hospitals
would be destroyed and
most medical personnel
killed or injured. Medical
care for the injured and
dying would be unavailable.”

Another member of the
citizens’ committee, Redner

Jones, stresses
disarmament
multilateral
unilateral.
However, he adds: “The
whole question is who will
let go first. 1 don’t have an
answer. I just sense from this

that any
has to. be
rather than

across —-the—

country that people are
saying. “We're willing to
take a risk.””

He says of the citizens in
the committee: “The in-
teresting thing about the
group is that it is staid,
typical West Vancovuer
business and professional
people. who have one
common concern which cuts

through political
religious lines.”

As such, he predicts that
in future elections, West
Van might even see can-
didates running solely on a
Slate of nuclear disar-
mament.

Of the present municipal
politicians, he says: “We're
not blaming council for
anything. Maybe it’s not
their job to take the
iMitiative. But there are
hundreds of us in West
Vancouver concerned we
are not on the referendum.

“The current thinking is
we can't leave it up to our
leaders. With the best of
intentions, they are doing a

and

lot of talking about disar- ~

mament but not doing
anything about it.”

Derrick Humphreys who in
the weighted ballot based on
population had two votes
against holding a GVRD
referendum. It shows North
Vancouver City Mayor Jack
Loucks as presenting two
votes in favor of such a
referendum.

The Bowen group states:
“In light of the upcoming
municipal elections in the
Lower Mainland this month,
we feel it appropriate that
the electorate be made
aware of the way their
representatives voted on this
crucial issue.

It describes the GVRD
rejection as “a regressive
decision and undemocratic
insofar as preventing the
electorate from expressing
