Rental brea t a
school daycare

OPEN LETTER TO
NV SCHOOL BOARD

The Boundary Community

School Association would
like to appeal the School
Board's decision to ‘charge
rental fees to day care
centres operating within the
school. We understand the
reasoning behind the new
rental policy, but question
whether the revenue ac-
crued from this source is
significant enough to offset
the hardships imposed upon
families who are in need of
the service.

As a Community School.
we feel that there is a need
for affordable quality
neighbourhood day care

programmes, even if the
number of children using
that service has temporarily
decreased. The charge of
rental fees for day care by
the North Vancouver School
Board may be the deciding
factor in whether or not our
day care continues to sur-
vive.

Therefore, while we are
not a member of the Ad Hoc
Committee on Day Care, we
support the points made in
their open letter to the North
Vancouver School Board
contained in the North Shore
News of December 1, 1982.

Buddy better now -
and thanks us all

Dear Editor:

We would like to send our
sincerest thanks to the
members of your staff for the
excellent news coverage we
received when Buddy was
shot.

Special thanks also goes
out to Doctors Cropper and

Lilley and the staff at the —

Lonsdale Pet’ Hospital. for
the devoted care and at-
tention Buddy received
when ‘he was under their
wing: ©

Peter Wescott and the
North Vancouver SPCA also
deserve our deepest thanks
for everything that they have
done in their i investigation in
the matter.

We are pleased to say that
Buddy is recuperating very
quickly and the warm wishes
that we have received from
friends and members of the
community have made our
anger and pain much more
bearable.

I pray that the generous
offer made by the kind
woman from West Vdh-
couver does not fall on deaf
ears and that whoever in-
flicted this cruel treatment
on Buddy does not escape
unscarred.

Best of
everyone.

Driving on the left poses
no real problem at all

Dear Editor:
I would like to refer to the
article by Barbara Mc-

Creadie in the December 8
edition, under the heading of
“Driving in Britain”.

I would like to challenge
some of the remarks made
concerning the alleged
difficulties of driving in the
U.K., which I consider, for
the most part, are incorrect
and misleading. Driving on
the left hand side of the road
and shifting gears with the
left hand need not be
“dreadfully clumsy”, as she
states, and after a few
minutes on the road it all
feels quite normal = and
comfortable. For those who
might feel some concern, a
few minutes spent with
someone from the car rental
company. and/or ai few
times “around the block”
prior tq commencing the trip
will dispel any fears one

might have. Many thousands

of Canadians drive U.K.
rental cars every year in the
U.K. without incident. It is.
by far, the best way to see
the countryside.

In some respects the high
speed traffic on the major
highways is “wicked” as she
says,
purpose is to view the
countryside, one uses these
super highways very seldom,
as most of the time one
would drive on the secon-
dary and on the network of

a

era UieNRTETRET

but when the main

\ 2360 West 4th Avenue,

country roads where driving
is very pleasant, and for the
most part, free from any
heavy or high speed traffic
experienced 'on the top
roadways.

Contrary to what Ms.
McCreadie states. you will
NOT see just as much of the
country from a train window
or from a bus/coach, in fact
very little of the countryside
compared to driving your
own car. Certainly not from
a train travelling around 85
to 125 miles per hour,
possibly a bit more on the
slower coaches, but train
and bus travel does not

permit you to stop where
you want to stop, and spend
some time exploring and
walking about all the in-

towns and villages which
make the English country-
side so very interesting and
beautiful. If you want to
travel from A to B and back
to A, then by all means take
the train or bus, but if it is
the countryside you want to
see and visit, then I suggest
you not be discouraged from
renting a car: it's the only
way to go!
