Virtually every newsstand in Canada and
the United States has a number of ‘‘exposé’’
magazines and newspapers. A couple of the
more well-known ones are ‘‘People’’ and
“*Us’’, where the intimate details of celebrities
are bared for public scrutiny. Are these
Magazines successful because people love
‘dirty laundry’ or are they harmless and
entertaining?

Today’s question is:

’‘What do you think of
so-called ‘exposé’
magazines?’’

Robin Morgan
North Vancouver

I enjoy reading
‘‘People’’ magazine, not
to discover other people’s
problems, but to keep up
with the entertainment
and music industry. | am
very interested in the pop
music scene and the
people involved. There are
also interesting stories on
the new movies.

1 have bought them on
occasion. 1! think it is
human nature to want to
poke into other people’s
lives. The magazines also
show a glamorous side of
life which is kind of
escapism.

Margaret Carroll
North Vancouver

Those kind of
Magazines are successful
because people are
attracted to gossip. | have
to admit that 1

City hits plans

fo axe buses

A THIRD SEABUS will likely be ferrying people to
Vancouver and back by 1986, but there will be less,
and more inconvenient, bus service across the
Lions Gate Bridge, senior B.C. Transit staff told
North Vancouver City council Monday night.

Transit staff appeared
before council’s policy com-
mittee to explain why they
were recommending that two
North Vancouver bus routes
be abandoned and two others
be made more inconvenient.

But the policy committee
didn’t buy Transit’s reason-
ing, and voted to tell the
Lower Mainland Transit
Commission that the City op-
poses any cutbacks to the
North Vancouver service.

The plan to cut service has
already been approved by the
commission once, but the
commission will have to give
its okay once more before it
can be implemented, on April
1, 1984.

Transit wants to eliminate
the St. Georges and Chester-
field routes becuae they are
not used very much and
duplicate service is available
one block away on Losndale
Avenue.

Another part of the plan is
to make it more inconvenient
for people on Lonsdale to
cross the Lions Gate Bridge
by bus to ‘‘force’’ them to
use the Seabus, in the words
of B.C. Transit staff member
Glen Lester.

Lonsdale to 15th and then to -

Marine Drive and over the
bridge, would go straight
down Lonsdale to the Seabus
terminal. Anyone wanting to
travel to Vancouver via the
bridge would have to transfer
at 15th and Lonsdale, Lester
said.

He said the Seabus is
underused on weekends, in
the middle of the day and in
the evenings. ‘‘We’re making
it a little less attractive to use
the alternate route,’’ he said.

Council members lam-
basted the arguments put for-
ward by Lester and his
superior, Larry Ward.

Ald. Raiph Hall said ‘‘It’s
almost as if you don’t want
to run that service.’”

Ald. Gary Payne said it
would be better to provide a
good service that would en-
courage ridership, rather
than cutting service because
nobody uses it. Transit’s pro-
posal would save them
$750,000 in the short run, but
would jeopardize the future,
Payne warned.

Ward admitted that B.C.
Transit expects to lose
100,000 riders a year.
