NV DISTRICT ELECTION

Candidate

cheered

by level of support

Dear Editor:

Although | was not successful in
my first attempt to become a
school trustee, | am cheered by the
level of support given to me by che
electors of the District of Notth
Vancouver,

I am especialiy thankful to the
community associations and
parents’ groups, as well as to Shaw
Cable and the North Shore News

for allowing me different forums
in which to present my ideas.

I also wish the new trustees well
in their efforts to guide our school
system.

Even though | cannot join them
on the board, [ still hope to con-
tribute my ideas to the planning
and management process of the
school district.

ews reporter

‘enterprising

Dear Editor:

A little bit of praise to whoever
writes up your Home and Garden
section.

I do public relations for the Pt.
Grey Chrysanthemum Society and
include your paper with my
releases announcing our shows. I
hope to be included in the What’s
Going On area.

But I append a note pointing out
that we are a Lower Mainland
club, extending to Langley, White
Rock and the North Shore.
Recently I added that one of our
top growers is a Gordon Kittson
living at 10th and Grand Boule-
vard,

Well, your writer went beyond
what I hoped for. He phoned

uv

Gordon, evidently, and said, ‘‘I
hear you are a big exhibitor in the
November show.” ‘‘Oh no,"’ said
Gordon, ‘‘I am an early grower.’’

Your reporter might have said,
“Oh dear, I’ve been misinformed.
Sorry to have bothered you.”’ But
he didn’t.

He went on to develop a story
about Gordon and mums. Now
that’s enterprising.

It’s the obverse of the fabled
young reporter sent out to cover a
wedding. He returned empty-
handed. ‘‘How come?" said his
miffed editor. ‘‘Oh,’’ he said, *‘the
bridegroom didn't turn up.”’

Please pass on my thanks.
