rethinks
ban on

beach
floats

West Vancouver ggmuncil's
decision two weeks ago to
ban floats on municipal
beaches will be given a
second look, Mayor Derrick
Humphreys announced
Monday night.

A spate of angry letters
from West Van residents and
the fact that the municipality
has taken no action yet on
the ban are the main reasons
for the reconsideration,
which is slated for the
council meeting of March
24.

Mayor Humphreys said
that municipal staff will
undertake additional study
of the safety and related
insurance aspects of floats,
to be presented on that date.

“If council reconsiders its
decision, the delay to March
24 won't affect when floats
are normally brought to the
beaches this summer,”
Humphreys emphasized

Alderman Robert Hicks
said he was “very pleased” to
see the reconsidcravon

Council will take no action
to ampliement the February
25 decision in the meantime

A man in his seventies was
found to have suffered four
broken ribs and a collapsed
lung after a scuffle between
three elderly men and a
group of youths outside a
West Vancouver apartment
block last week.

Walter Dix was injured
after he and Robert Hall had
gone to help another man in
his seventies, Eric An-
derson, who was _ being
jostled by a group of about
six youths outside a Marine
Drive apartment block
where all three men live.

Anderson had seen the
youths breaking down
bushes and trampling in the
.Shrubbery outside the
apartments Thursday  af-
ternoon .

He yelled at them and they
went into the parking area of
the apartments.

Anderson followed them
in and they began shoving
him when the two other
men, also in their seventies,
saw what was happening and
went over to help Anderson.
They also got shoved and
jostled and the youths
eventually ran _ off.

Dix was detained in
hospital overnight for
treatment for his broken ribs
and collapsed lung, Hall
received a grazed knee and
Anderson's clothing was
damaged as a result of the
skirmish.

“Ah yes, ... we've changed our name and the deals are sweeter than ever. We're renovating
and the resulting contusion has caused us to price our fine acoustical machinery ridiculousty
tow. All the better for you, especially since it will happen every week until our STUPENDOUS

GRAND OPENING on April 19th.”

Once upon a time, last Thurs-

was strolling past Goldilocks
Sandwich House at Esplanade
Centre. As you know, some eat-

as porridge, but here — well,
there was a fresh, woodsy
atmosphere. Friendly people
too. And the food! Sandwiches
of every kind. Garden-fresh
salads. Quiche. And home-

papa, mama and baby, bears
thinking about.
