MAILBOX All legion branches thanked for LGH gift Dear Editor: In the Dec. 29 issue of the North Shore News, you covered a story on a gift from the North Shore and Howe Sound zone of the Royal Canadian Legion to Lions Gate Hospital. The generous gift of $4,770 from the legion assisted with the purchase of a transvaginal probe for the Lions Gate Hospital ultra- sound department. In the story, Lions Gate Hospi- tal thanked only the West Van- couver Legion. In fact, the gift was made by the North Shere and Howe Sound zone of the Royal Canadian Legion which is comprised of six branches: Pemberton (branch #201), Diamond Head (branch #277), Bowen Island (branch #150), Lynn Valley (branch #114), North Vancouver (branch #118) and West Vancouver (branch #60). All branches participated in raising the funds for the gift. In addition, Etta Mulholland, who was in the picture, is a member of the North Vancouver branch #118 and the current North Shore and Howe Sound zone eetamander. Jim Irvine was also in the photo and is a West Vancouver branch #60 member, a past zone commander and the zone veterans welfare committee chairman. The legions are important sup- porters of the hospital and we want to ensure that we say thank you to all the branches that made the gift possible. Melanie Wheating Director of Development Lions Gate Hospital Public course promoted Dear Editor: There are many reasons why I support the proposal by the North Shore Public Golf Course Society to establish an 18-hole public golf course in the Northlands area of the Seymour District: ©The topography of Northlands makes it the superior site for a golf course. © Open green space created by an 18-hole public golf course is very much needed in the District of North Vancouver. © It will be a visual and cultural amenity for all to enjoy. © It will create lucrative financial gain to the district via direct and indirect economic spin-offs. © Annual revenue from a_ public golf course will accrue to the - municipality, and not to the Public Golf Course Society as is mistak- enly rumored. @Land used for a public golf course will remain in the owner- ship of the citizens of the district. * Housing plans for Northlands will be delayed and enhanced by a golf course. | believe that it makes good sense to delay additional housing densities and growth until such time as plans are in place for improved transportation. It is well known that golf is the fastest growing sport in North America today. We in the District of North Vancouver should be aware of our responsibilities in this regard and not leave it to other municipalities to meet our ngeds. Ronald M.
