A North Vancouver man has been committed for trial in county court after a knifing incident February 2 on Lonsdale Avenue, William Dixon, of 312-315 East 1st Street, appeared in North Vancouver Provincial Court Wednesday for a preliminary hearing, and elected to be tried by a judge without a jury. Dixon was charged February 2nd after a man was knifed in the face near the corner of Lonsdale: Avenue and Third Avenue. He remains in custody on other charges. ‘Erosion to be monitored The erosion of the bank above Mosquito Creek at 19th and 20th Streets will be closely monitored by North Vancouver City, after the problem was reported by local residents. Also, a local resident has been given permission to remove trees immediately from the top of the bank if they become undermined and endanger his property. City council made these decisions last week after receiving a report from the City engineer on the situation. In his report, Tom Scott said that the bank in the area is very high and steep and has become more unstable over the last few years. “It is in our interests to keep a very close watch on it,” Scott said, noting that a City sewer line will be en- dangered before any houses are threatened. If any remedial action is necessary it may cost the City between $100,000 and $200,000. ~ Council agenda highlights Agenda highlights for Monday’s meetings of North Shore councils include the following: NORTH VANCOUVER DISTRICT (8 P.M.)

So we thought we'd give it a try. Here goes: You will never have to worry about your leisure time be- ing eaten up by such frivolities as going to the beach, @ water skiing, or many of the other outdoor sports that abound in British Columbia. The reason? You are too embarrassed to put on a bathing suit. You get to shop at very expensive, exclusive clothing stores which cater only to fat people. And you pay through the nose, even if you can’t afford it, because they know you can’t go anywhere else. You will be allowed to experiment with all sorts of exotic pills during your lifetime, because your doctor is at his @ wits end as to what else to do. They will speed up your ; heartbeat, alter your mood like some brittle, high- - tepsion wire, and you may even get addicted. And when they run out you will experience the depression and weight gain associated with diet pill withdrawal. 9 3 You will not be forced to attend many parties and other 4 social functions after a while, because you can no e@ longer tolerate the ill-concealed pity people display toward a person in your Condition, while they privately ask one another why in hell you don’t go on a diet. The fact that you probably are on a diet already doesn't seem to matter much. You will have no worries about what to do after you retire. Many overweight people don't make it that far. If @ by chance you do, you will probably find much of your time taken up in various doctor's offices, for a variety of reasons, heart disease and diabetes not being the least. It we haven't succeeded in selling you on the idea of staying fat for the rest of your life, maybe you will be interested in this: a program where we first change your attitude toward what you eat, because we feel the real diet is in your head. And while we're doing that, we excercise away inches, firm up flabby tissue, with our advanced electronic Euro- pean slimming techniques. We'll show you results you can feel in your belt loops. It's an incentive and a positive re-inforcement that helps you Stay on the program, where many others fail. And that is-the case tor Ambient Call now for a private, personal consultation, and start getting back the body you always deserved.
