Dear Editor:

With regard to the letter
from Bill Thompson advising
your reporter to take courses
in political science in order
to improve his polities
awareness, I would venture
to suggest that no amount of
political science .courses
could make up for the lack
of political acumen

Ridgewood
house swap
solution

Dear Editor:

Obviously ‘Mr. A. Main
does not live on Ridgewood
Drive. But then neither do I.
However, the. difference
between Mr. Main and me is
that I believe that» those
Ridgewood Drive residents
have every right to say no to
the veritable destruction of
their home life just to satisfy
the ‘needs’ Mr. Main seems
to feel are his right without
so much as a thank you.

A simple solution § to
please all of North Van.'s
Mr. Mains and the residents
of Ridgewood Dr. would be
to- get Dist. Hall to organize
a house swap between all of
those who want a thorough-
fare on Ridgewood and
those who thought that they
had bought peace and quict
on Ridgewood.

Well, Mr. A. Main?

Yours truly,
Geoffrey Fenton,
5026 Ranger Avenue,

_I would further suggest
that Mr. Thompson do some
research into the
background of the North
Shore politicians at all
levels, preferably before the
next elections when he can
be expected to vote for the
candidates of his choice. It is
far better that he should

in Mr.

‘Nore room for compromise’

know for whom he is voting.
~ The huge majority of
voters in North Vancouver
favour moderate political
parties with only a few
supporting the lunatic
fringes of the left or right.
Most of us agree with
M.L.A. Gary Lavk who
stated in the Legislature: “In
this country we stand in a

delicate balance between the

totalitarian right and the ©

totalitarian left. There is no
room for compromise with
either.”

Only a keen awareness on.

the part of the voters can
maintain our present happy
political state.

Maximum age for healthy?

Dear Editor:

Apart from the morality of
abortion, there are some
basic and practical questions
which all voters should ask
themselves before electing
hospital directors.

A few years ago the
average age in Canada was
fifteen years. In 1982 Stats
Canada reports that’ the last
census shows the average
age to be just over twenty six
years. What will it be in the

year 2021, just thirty nine
years from now?

Who at that time will be
the drones, the workers
carrying the enormous over-

‘burden of senior citizens and

retirees?

On what grounds will
those who have matured to
become the seniors of the
time be able to plead against
the cause of euthenasia for
the sick and helpless and a

Little Red Schoolhouse

Dear Editor:

aniversary), an unveiling will
