Dismiss Vander Zalm! Wright wrong
on productivity

Dear Editor:

Whether Education
Minister Vander Zaim’s pian
to revise the secondary
school curriculum is right or
wrong educationally, no
single person should have

Reconsider

OPEN LETTER
TO MAYOR
MARILYN BAKER

I learned today of the NV
District’s decision to do

such power im an area so
large and so important as the
provincial public school
system. No radical changes
should be made _ without
adequate consultation with
those involved and time for
proper implementation.

The stress that the school
system has been put under in
the past year as a result of
repeated budget cuts has
been bad enough without the
Minister's ordering radical
changes two days after this

year's budgets were due in
Victoria. If Mr. Vander
Zalm’s intent is to destroy
public confidence in our
public schools and in the
democratic process, he is
likely to succeed. Tough
luck for our children, unless
enough people insist on his
dismissal and this province
returns to- rational
educational] planning.

Price on human life

“away with the rescte and
safety unit in order to save
$300,000 per year.

This decision implies to
me that lives saved are not
worth $300,000. How dare
our elected representatives
put a price tag on hfe!

As a District resident, I
urge the council to use my
tax dollars to keep the unit
and crew operational — and,
please note that I will not
notice should you decide to
curtail instead other non-
essential services.

I trust that each time a life
is lost because of your
having sold off the unit and
disbanded its crew, we will
collectively be guilty of non-
assistance to a person in
danger.

I believe you will want to
reconsider this unfortunate
decision

Dear Editor:

And so it seems the North
Vancouver District council
has managed to fix a price on
human hfe. Three hundred
thousand dollars to be exact.
The cost, coincidentally to
run the Mini-pumper truck
of the North Vancouver

District Fire Department.
Should we all fall back to the
original way of a Volunteer
Fire Dept? Woa, I shouldn't
talk too loud, should I,
Marilyn?

Dear Noel Wright:
Re. Column of Feb. 9
(Productivity? Forget it!)

Aw c'mon Noel. You don't
really believe that we should
stop working hard. Or stop
trying to work smarter. Do
you?

Canada’s already in a deep
enough hole.

Now if you could persuade
the rest of the world to stop
working so hard, maybe I'd
go along with you.

- But if we have to compete wi

with Japan and Germany
and Korea and Taiwan and
someday China and India
(not to mention the United
States), aren't we going to
have to keep running to stay
ahead?

For that matter, don't we

if you really disagree with
me, then you should have
the courage of your con-
victions and hire extra staff
at the News so all your
employees can immediately
enjoy your ultimate goal of
the one day work week.

After all, the newspaper
business is pretty susceptible
to improved productivity

“with the use’ of the flateést
technology.

And what a fine gesture it
would be to show the rest of
the business community the
road to economic utopia.
