making a comeback in British
Columbia, despite price dis-
counts offered by local corner
stores, writes Basil Jackson

from Vancouver in The
Financial Post.

Dairyland, a division of the
Fraser Valley Milk Producers
Association, now has more
than 60,000 home delivery’
customers
Vancouver area, -vs 50,000
five years ago.

when the Supermarkets went
on strike in 1975,’’ says D.G.
Winton, manager of home
deliveries: for Dairyland.
*“Only 261 of the 3,900 went
back to buying their milk at
supermarkets or the corner
store. The biggest. increase
has been in the past year,
and it’s still going up.”’

Winton says the trend to
more home deliveries is

bia: ‘It’s happening in other
parts of Canada too, but
-nowhere near the uptrend

ore Letters

Dear Editor:

- This letter is in regard to-
the article about Gabriola

Island in the November 17
North Shore News. As I am
familiar with the island, I
found the article especially
pleasing. But when I saw the
photo of the Malaspina
Galleries I was taken aback
' tothe point of writing to you.

After such a nice article,
it’s too bad the picture of the
Galleries was published the
wrong way around. I’m sure
this was.a simple mistake but
for someone to whom the
Galleries are rather special,
the photo was quite alarm-
ing. — .

Also on my last visit to the
island (November 12) I was

Stated the situation in a

Dear Editor:

If there’s a loophole in
_ Canada’s constitution where-
by a province can hop out
because of pique, the federal
government (if ‘‘worth its
salt’’) should plug it! For
small nations are a menace to
themselves and the peace of
others, as they are at the
mercy of the vulture nations.

When we think in-terms of
raw reality, Quebec, to
separate from Canada pro-
per, is acting infantilely in
relation to ‘‘what’s going on
in the world at large.”’ In
truth, ostrich-like.
