WITH THE RECENT attacks and sexual
assaulis upon women in downtown Van-
couver underground parking fots, residents
have expressed concern as to what can be
dene to avoid such situations and as to what
measures should be taken. Inquiring reporter
asked people on the street:

How should women
defend themselves?

John Porter

North Vancouver

Martial arts would be
helpful to protect women
against assailants.
However, the use of
deadly force, such as
guns and knives, should
be avoided.

¥-think. there should be
some sort of self-defense
: but I-don’t think people
“should carry weapons

4. because it could be used

‘against them.

Geraldine Coleman
North Vancouver mot
I agree women should
take a self-defence

course. I don't think |
- women should carry a

gun though, unless they
‘ know how to use it pro-
perly, - .

Andrew Hunter

North Vancouver

Police should organize a
defence program for
women or they should be
supplied with electrical
sticks so they won’t get
assaulted.

Bill Mason

North Vancouver

1 think women getting at-
tacked and being harass-
ed is unacceptable in our
society. Maybe it would
help if women carried an
aerosol horn to. alert
people’s attention, and
they should take some
sort of self-defence.

Youth

“NO TROUBLE or unrest**

Valley dance, May 24,

North Vancouver District
alderinan Stephen McMinn
told council May 27) the
dance, held at Argyle Sec-
ondary School was attended
by ubout 300 people.

“It shows what can be
done when a community
pulls together and tries to
solve a problem,"’ McMinn
said.

MeMinn said he hopes this
successful event acts as an
impetus to speed up money
from council for u recreation
centre for the area.

Ald Ernie Crist said at is
his hope counci} money goes
not toward a hall but toward
a full-fledged community
centre.

Ald. Craig Clark said a
committee on youth and
vandalism will! meet to co-
ordinate the use of school
facilities for youth activities.

Remember the ghoulies under your bed? Afi-
cionados of little toes i always thought. Mine:
anyways. | never did get bit, but hey, I was
prepared. Armed with Teddy and my
woeden sword, I was prepared for battle. As
long as it was dark in my bedroom, there
was a risk. My soft fortress of safety, never
deserted until daylight. I'm sure ['m not the
only one who was ever scared. I may be the
only man you know who will admit it though!
Lenny is no longer a fraidy cat in the dark.

Preparation, Dept.

1 will concede, that sometimes the ghoulies
of technological change get a little scary. At
first anyways. We just figure out the new
repair techniques and then what do you
know, Crash Pad receives all new informa-
tion. It’s important for us to stay on top of
the latest information. That way we know
what's coming and we can be the first guys
on the block prepared for your car. At Crash
Pad the future is a very important part of the
present. Scary or not.
