By now just about every-
one has seen.and used the
new 4 litre plastic milk bags.
Around the NEWS offices, I
occasionally overhear our
lovely ladies arguing the pros
and cons of the milk bags.
Therefore, I decided to visit
the parking: iot of a iarge
supermarket on the North
Shore and ask the question,
*“What do you think of the
new 4
bags?”

-] don’t like them. I find
them inconvenient. It’s too
easy to have an accident
with the plastic bags.

I think the plastic bags are
dreadful. The size of the
individual bags is OK, but
the milk seems to go faster. I
would prefer a strong carton
to a flimsy bag.

I like the cardboard car-

the plastic bags leak so far.

like the new plastic bags.

They are easier to store,
lighter to handle, the jugs
are attractive, and children
find them easy to lift (with
the jug handle).

Mrs. Joyce Coomber

I hate the new plastic
bags. If it will cut costs, I'll
accept them, but I find them
inconvenient and not sturdy
enough.

A police informant of West Vancouver, whose
eyewitness account helped RCMP recover a
murder weapon in 90 feet of water, will know in 30
days if he is to be $20,000 richer.

The unidentified man, in
his 60’s, will be entitled to
that amount in reward money
for his tip ‘‘which broke the
case for us,’’ said Burnaby
RCMP S/Sgt. Paul Starek,
who headed a_ year-long
investigation leading to the

arrests and three life senten-

ces Feb. 9 of the Joyce
brothers for the armed
robbery and shooting death
of 29-year-old Lumberland
employee. Brian Raymond
Sauve, on Jan. 25, 1976.

Starek said the reward
money will be paid after the
official 30-day appeal period.
during which time the
brothers, Richard Joyce, 30,

Gordon Joyce, 27, and Peter

Joyce, 21; may file for an
appeal. If there is no appeal
or if the appeal fails the
secret informant will receive
his reward.

RCMP said after the
armed robbery they were left
without any leads. All they
had as evidence was a spent
9m.m. shell belonging to the
single shot which wounded
Sauve in the back and killed
him. Near the body also were
lead fragments and a bullet
jacket.

TEST BULLET

‘*Although investigators
knew the victim was killed
with a 9 m.m. bullet they
didn’t have the weapon as

‘ evidence.’” RCMP members

were able to match the fatal

shot with a test bullet after

the gun was recovered.
Since the barrel — was

rusting, investigators relied
on the imprint of the firing -

pin on the spent shell of the
with

Sauve’ Ss body.

“The: ‘recovery of ‘the

was a big break, not only for: |

the case, but for the diving

whole helped solve .the
crime,’ ’ Haynes said.
