Non-smokers abuse
their privileges

Dear Editor

I spent my teenage years in
the 1960’s, growing up in an
atmosphere of social confu-
sion; a world of redneck stan-
dards and the renegade hip-
pie revolution surrounding
me. Ff believe that generation-
was perhaps the most
politically aware group of_
children that this country has
produced. ———-- ~ -

There were real issues then,

not the trivial causes that ‘are —

the fashion today. Let us
remember: that democracy
can only be effective if the
majority do not abuse their
decision-making privileges. _

The current anti-smoking
crusade that has become so
trendy is an example. Of
course, the majority of peo-
ple are non-smokers. But

Dear Editor:

The hostile positions
adopted by the West and
North Vancouver school
boards towards the North
Shore Independent School
Society run counter to the in-
tent of provincial legislation

in the matter.

The September 1977 Bill 33
(Independent Schools Sup-
port Act) was passed into law
because it was recognised
that a single province-wide
school system did not provide
sufficient choice for all
parents to select the form of

education their children
would receive.

The school boards’ present
position also appears to deny
the facts of demography and
economics: public school
