Concerning the 7Sth birthday of Lynn Canyon Park.

1 lived half of my life in Capilano Highland (since
1948), coming from London, England. a very busy
metropolis, into the wilderness. We were the first
house on our street and when people asked, ‘Where
do you live?" J always said, “In the bush!” which
was true.

Our most enjoyable trip was into Lynn Valley. We
went swinging, with beating hearts, over the suspen-
sion bridge. In Austria, Vienna, where my husband
and I came from, we always went into the country in
the summer because it was very hot in town. For
many days there we went mushroom picking and so

crossed the suspension bridge. We ate the mushroans
fresh and we dried them for the winter,

We also swam in the Lynn Creek. Oh, it was very
cold but J was used to cold water, as many times |
swam and crossed the Danube which flows close to
Vienna.

We had lots of picnics near the creek and our son
Michael, then eight years old, had a good time there
and we enjoyed it very much.

So I wish happy birthday to Lynn Canyon Park and
great enjoyment for young and old. for many genera-
tions to come!

Dear Editor:

Thank you, Doug Collins, for
your book and articles on im-
migration. One of the respon-
sibilities of a good journalist is
that of watchdog to the public.

The episode of the Amelie has
shown an immigration ministry in
shambles, a real idiot’s delight.
The prospects of employment for
the feebleminded are great in the
immigration service from minister
to desk clerk. Well-paid jobs are

available to the brainless and those
with no common sense.

How else could one explain why
no person in immigration is
capable of distinguishing between
simple truths and lies? The im-
migration department seems to
have a preference for those wanted
for criminal activities in other
countries, Ng and Satiacum to
name a few.
