HUGE BOOZE HAUL SEIZED
Police beat drinkers

to Cypress Park

CARLOADS of youngsters were lured out in
droves by the Good Friday sunshine, all set for a
day of serious drinking at Cypress Park.

But West Vancouver
police, wise from past ex-
perience, had already an-

ticipated what the partiers
had in mind and were ready
and waiting behind road
blocks.

And after five hours of
checking cars arriving at the
park, police were well and
truly convinced it was just as
well they had beaten the

youngsters off the mark and
were imagining what kind of
a drunken day it would
otherwise have been on the
mountain.

By the trmme they shut
down the roadblock, police
had confiscated 410 bottles
of beer and 15 bottles of
hard liquor.

A police spokesman told
the News the seizures were

N. Van restaurant
saved from fire

QUICK response by North
Vancouver City firefighters
to a call from an observant
hotel desk clerk saved a
Lower Lonsdale restaurant
from serious fire damage
early Monday morning.

Firefighters rushed to the
Moodyvilla Restaurant at
127 Lonsdale Avenue after
an alarm was Called in by a

desk clerk at the St. Alice
Hotel.
When they arrived they

saw smoke coming from the

roof and inside’ the
restaurant.

The blaze was quickly
extinguished and _ the
restaurant suffered only

minor fire damage, although
there was smoke damage
throughout the premises.

made under the authority of

a law prohibiting the
possession of liquor in
provincial parks and _ he

added that police will be up
there doing the same thing
on other weekends of fine
weather.

“People are warned not to
take booze up there,
because it's going to be
taken away and they're not
going to getit back,” he said.

The action stems from the
many complaints police have
received over previous
weekends when on some
occasions there have been as
many drunks on the
mountain as skiers.

Problems begin when
youngsters who have been
lying out in the snow
drinking all day while
sunbathing start getting
obnoxious and _pelting

passing cars with empty beer
bottles and snowballs.
