Born in Britain but a North Van resident for six decades, he began his 40-year ca- reer in 1928 at Ridgeway, then moving on to Lonsdale, Queen Mary and North Van High before returning to Ridgeway as vice- principal. The later years brought him posts as principal, in turn, of North Star, Westview, Lonsdale, * Queen Mary and Canyon Heights School, from which he retired in 1968. He'll also be remembered as avery active member of St. An- drew’s United Church (whose his- tory he wrote), of North Van Lawn Bowling Club and of the North Van Kiwanis — all of which he served in Jeadership offices. JOSEPH TERRY, 1904-1988. Like many of his teaching col- ¥ ducating the public is never easy, but the North , Vancouver RCMP detachment has come up with Jan imaginative seat belt blitz that will cajole rather than bludgeon some common sense into the masses. Starting Oct. 18 and running to the end of November, RCMP will set up random road biocks around North Vancouver City and District to check whether local driving citizenry are complying with B.C.’s seat belt law. Tickets will be issued to those drivers who fail to wear seat belts and who fail to secure their children passengers properly. But rather than just exacting the $35 and $50 fines that go with those tickets, the RCMIP will offer vio- lators a unique chance to learn the value of wearing seat belts while having those fines revoked. The ICBC-sponsored seat belt safety film, Reem to Live, will be shown Monday nights at Lonsdale Elementary school starting Oct. 24. Violators attending with seat belt tickets in hand will have those tickets cancelled. , Because most people will grudgingly pay 2 small fine without too much thought, but go to great lengths to cash in on a bargain, the program is sure to have far more success im its ultimate goal of raising public awareness of seat belt safety than would the mere issu- ing of numerous tickets. Imagination and originality are rare commodities. When genuine examples of both are used to iHlustrate such dry subjects as seat belt awareness in such obtuse grey zones as public education, congratulations are in order. The North Vancouver RCMP should take a much- deserved bow. Wnt 18 ...
