Dear Editor:

I was shocked to read the
republication in yesterday's
advertisment of the
irresponsible and _ false
statements about me _ that
were published by the
Pacific Tribune. As a result
of my demand to Sean
Griffin, editor of the Pacific
Tribune, an apology and
retraction was published
which correctly stated that I
have never been counsel for
Hooker Chemicals and that I

Dear Editor:

In response to the letter
from Malcolm C. Watson,
Sunday, November 15, I
would like to know if our Sea
Cadets were rude or
demanding or just what was
his problem? His remark
about a “uniform bearing a
Canadian emblem” doesn’t
seem to me to be the real
reason somehow.

As a “former Air Cadet
officer” he might be in-
terested in knowing that had
he been shopping in North
Vancouver one month
earlier he would have been
“accosted” by an Air Cadet

“Panhandling” (his words
not mine).
No sponsors of cadet

corps like to send their
cadets out to raise money.
But at this time it is im-
possible to raise sufficient
funds any other way and
believe me, we have tried.
We have always been very
grateful to the public and
local business men for their
support in our endeavours to
maintain the high standards

The fact is that I do not

counsel concerning the

District of North Vancouver
while serving as an Alder-
man, because I would
consider that a conflict of
interest.

The other statement in the
Pacific Tribune that I am the
“architect” of the District's
“high land price” policy is

we expect in our cadets.

The Navy League is
unique on the North Shore as
we sponsor two cadet corps:
the Royal Canadian Sea
Cadet Corps “Lonsdalé” and
the Navy League Corps “The
Honourable Clarence
Wallace”. We also have our
own building which we
solely maintain. I am sure
most citizens can understand
that, with heat, light,
telephone and _= general
repairs, the cost of which
escalates every month, we
have not been able to find a
more suitable way of raising
money, even more so now
than before since the
powers-that-be saw fit to
remove one source of our
funding, namely the non-

profit lottery booth in
Capilano Mall.
So, Mr. Watson, unless

you are prepared to come up
with a better way to raise

money than any of us have
been able to in the last
twenty or so years, I think an
apology is in order for the
very few who try so hard to

The Districts policy was
established long before I was
elected to Council.

Because of the gravity of
these statements, I demand
that you publish this letter in
a prominent section of the
Wednesday edition of the
News and also acknowledge
the error of these
statements.

I am confident that those
residents of North Van-

Corps functioning to the best

Dear Editor:

Your article titled
“WVEA names slate” on
Sunday. Nov. 8, was

inaccurate in one regard.
While Darrell Frith and
Margot Furk won the en-
dorsement of the WVEA
membership, the board did,
in fact. recommend Fran
McDowell for Schoo! Board
in West Vancouver.
