OPEN LETTER TO N. VAN
DISTRICT VOTORS

Anybody who. serves the
public in an elected capacity
must assess themselves
periodically against their

own self-imposed standards.
Hopefully these be more
severe than the yardstick by
which the voters judge them,
and with luck the individual
will benefit from the
examination. Few people

Mayor Bell kept
‘a livable balance’

Dear Editor:

It is with some regret that
I read of Mayor Don Bell's
decision to step out of
politics and more especially
as Mayor of the District of
North Vancouver. While
one- cannot argue with his
reasons for-doing so, namely
to have a closer relationship
with his family, one has to
express regret at his
decision. He was one of
those exceptional people in
public office who was always
ready to take a second look.
He was what I would call a
middle of the road mayor
who kept a livable balance
on a council of many
divergent political views.
One would be hard put to
visualize anyone on the

present council, with the
possible exception of
Marilyn Baker, as being able
to fill his shoes. He knew
how to listen to people, he
knew how to maintain
decorum in the sometimes
hostile atmosphere of open
council meetings and above
all he was a mayor who was
always “available”.

We shall miss him and
await with apprehension his
successor. We should all join
in wishing both him and his
family all those things in life
which are so much more
valuable than the heady
brew of public office. Good
luck Mayor Don Bell in your
future endeavours.

Cheers for Kiwanis!

Dear Editor:

I read an article in your
August 15th issue regarding
the North Vancouver
Kiwanis Foundation and all
their donations distributed

to such very deserving
causes.
I wish to convey my

appreciation to them, on
behalf of my nine year old
daughter who attends the
Vancouver Neurological
Centre. This is a wonderful

organization who offer much
assistance and support not
only to the members
themselves, but also to their
families. It is groups like the
Kiwanis that keep these
organizations in existence,
especially in these hard
times.

Three cheers for the North
Vancouver Kiwanis and
THANK YOU!

(Mrs.) G. Nicol

Don’t kill pigeons

Dear Editor:

It is amazing that when
some bird or animal happens
to inadvertently interfere
with our way of life, the first
thing we think should be
done is kill these unwanted
creatures! It never seems to
enter the minds of those in
charge whether the poisons
used are the kind which kill
quickly or whether they
cause the creatures such
suffering before they dic

We scem to forget that
droppings from any animal,
help to nourish our carth!
And also remember that
people also carry discase

realize the constant exercise
of moral courage which is
necessary to be an honest
public servant, and while I
do not presume to try to
define courage, I have a fair
idea what it is not: and it is
not the absence of doubt,
anxiety, or uncertainty. It is
a capital sum which, if
drawn upon consistently
without replenishment will
lead to bankruptcy, and all
too often in political life,
good men and woman are
destroyed because they run

their accounts too low
without realizing it is oc-
curring.

When I stood for Council
in 1974 it was with the
promise I would commit at
least six years to the
position, and eight years
have gone by since then.
After twenty years of elected
office, and five years of
appointment to the College
Board superimposed
thereon, I feel I have earned
a rest: I need some time to
recharge that capital ac-

count. Perhaps I am also
being a bit selfish. I want
some time to pursue other
interests, to sample life
without the constant
demands on my private time
which public life demands,
and to be able to manage my
_ affairs without the very real
constraints of conflict of
interest which accompany
elected office. For these
reasons I shall not be seeking
re-election in November.

I do not know how to
thank adequately the voters
of the District. The con-
fidence they have shown in
me over the years: is a very
special honour, which they
give to relatively a few. For
my part it has been a
satisfying experience, and I
can only hope that those I
have served to the best of my
ability consider they have
made as good a bargain as I
have.
