THE NORTH SHORE
Independent School
Society is hoping for the

-best as its proposal for

lease of one of two emp-
ty schools in West Van-
couyer is heard next
week.

But spokesman John

is keeping its options open.

As well as:the proposal to
lease. either Glenmore or
Pauline Johnson schools in
West Van, he said, the sacie-
ty hopes to open negotiations
with the Squamish Indian
Band over the possibility of
leasing some property.

The group is also attemp-
ting to reopen talks with the
North Vancouver School
Board to discuss the use of
part of Hamilton school on a
short-term basis.

Details of. the proposal
made to West Vancouver
school board won't be
available until that group
meets Monday night but it is
believed the society’s offer
will be similar to the one
made to the North Van-

- couver board for Hamilton

school.

Humphries said the society
will accent the. positive
aspects of the proposal to
establish the private school.

‘“*West Vancouver has
some fears that if we are suc-
cessful, they'll have to cut as
many as 15 teachers,’’ Hum-
phrics said. ‘‘On the other
hand, we may be hiring as
many as 20."’

Suspect nabbed in second car

SOME THIEVES just won’t give up which, in one
case last week, was good news for the West Van-
couver police.

Police were able to take a
24-year-old North Vancouver
man into custody after he them an unmarked police
broke into ai 3900-block car
Marine Drive home and then
tried to steal two cars, one of

before noon Tuesday when

The incident occured just ,

the man attempted to break
into the house. When he was
confronted, he shoved the
owner of the home out of his
way, grabbed a set of car
keys and fled.

A uniformed member of
the WVPD arrived to in-
vestigate and was returning
to his unmarked police car

when he spotted the man try.
ing to break into it.

He chased the crook, who
managed to elude him, and
then again found him, (his
time trying to start the car
owned by the couple he had
robbed of the keys. He was
able to take the man into
custody.
