OPEN LETTER TO FOR-
MER MEMBERS AND
ASSOCIATES OF THE
NORTH VANCOUVER
YOUTH BAND

About six weeks ago I was
gratified to come across an

*
article in the North Shore
News which described
Alderman Ernie Crist’s
proposal that the waterfront
park to be established in the
Lonsdale Quay area be
named in memory of the late
Arthur Smith, conductor of

Sunshine Girl
A hunt for provocation

Dear Editor:

We are writing with regard
to specifically the July 2nd
issue of the North Shore
News as well other past
issues. We have ericiosed
some photographs that are
offensive to women and
continue to view and exploit
women as sex objects to
either sell products or
titillate the male reader.
Your Sunshine Girl feature
appears to have digressed to
a hunt for the’ most
provocative ‘and = sexually
alluring pose. The feature
itself caters to the more
altractive female and again
focuses on women as objecis

of beauty and sexual appeal.

It is pictures, features, and
advertisements like this that
continue to perpetuate the
absurd and unrealistic
stereotypes and = standards
that women are constantly
subjected to and expected to
conform to. These standards
are not only degrading but
an inaccurate perception of
the role of women in our
culture.

We ask you to openly
examine your journalistic
code of ethics and consider
whether you are presenting a
fair and just representation
of features, articles, and
advertisements involving
women or whether you are

the North Vancouver Youth
Band for over 25 years.

Mr. Smith contributed a
great deal to the develop-
ment of a music program for
young people in North
Vancouver. He was a tireless
and dedicated worker,

using sexist sensationalism to
sell newspapers.

Your
time

devoted to his band, and
from the start he was
determined to make _ the

band a-source of pride to
members and the citizens of
Canada whom the band
represented around the
world, from Japan to Great
Britain. My admiration and
respect for the man is un-
doubtedly shared by many of
his former students and
associates, some of whom
have continued on to pursue

careefs in music.

I feel that Alderman
Crist’s proposal for the
Arthur Smith Memorial Park
is a fitung and well-deserved
tribute to a man who spent a
large part of his life working
on behalf of the community.

I hope that people who
knew Art will indicate their
support for the proposed
park by contacting North
Vancouver City council
direct.
