A7 - Wednesday, February 16, 1983 - North Shore News SR nn cal by 0 x ‘Disgusted’ with school board Dear Editor I have attended several North Vancouver School Board meetings lately and am totally disgusted with the way the meetings are conducted. The members hold cross- table discussions rather than going through the chair. The chairman seems incapable of making his own decision and turns to ask for advice from the superintendent or his assistant. The board is millions of handling taxpayer's dollars. Is it too much to ask that they do it in an in- dependent and business-like’ way? There appears to be only one person on the board that can think and act in- dependently. The rest are like puppets on a string, being controlled by the superintendent and_ his assistant. Perhaps it is time we had a change in the makeup of the North Vancouver School Board. (Mrs.) Kathleen Agledal North Vancouver Never again expect full employment Dear Editor: Congratualtions to Noel Wright for his perceptive article,“Productivity? Forget it!” (Feb. 9). It seems most unlikely that Canada, or for that matter most other countries, will ever see full employment again, cerfainly not in the old sense of the word. “Job creation” is perhaps the most misused slogan, flaunted recklessly by ail politicians, irrespective of party affiliation!

High schools all over the province ad- vertised the motto, “If you love me, buckle up”, hoping to make people aware that wearing a_ seatbelt saves lives. “In thé crash a car does not slow down. It stops. Dead. The odds of you surviving an accident are five times better if you stay inside your vehicle. Seat- belts keep you where you belong —. behind the wheel, “sbieop: 287 VAST PRET not impaled upon it. It takes only a second to buckle up. Or a split second to lose a life. A secend te spend whichever way you choose.” This paragraph from a traffic safety pamphlet summarizes the situation at hand. During our lifetime, each of us stands a 50-50 chance of suffering injury in toss of the coin. Don’t just buckle up for a loved one on Valentine’s Day. Do it for the rest of your life.
