By Ellsworth Dickson

Last Saturday’s
vince’. carried an article
which stated that coffee
prices are going to rise to $4
a pound. Already, two
supermarkets in Oregon
have begun to boycott coffee
in an attempt to lower prices.
I wonder if consumers
boycotted coffee the ‘prices
would drop. This week the
‘Inquiring Reporter’’ asks:
What do you think of a coffee
boycott to lower prices?”’

“Pro.

I don’t think that ocoycotting
coffee will work. Too many
people will pay any price,

_ therefore, boycotting would

have no effect.

Mayor Tom Reid has taken
over as 1977 chairman of the
North Vancouver City Fi-
nance Committee from Ald.
Mare Howard. This was the

major shift in the appoint--

ments of council members
announced last week to the
various city boards and
committees for the coming
year.

The Policy. ‘Committee,
headed last year by Ald.
Stelia ‘Jo’ Dean, will alter-
nate this year, with each
alderman serving as chair-
man for two months. Ald.
Dean replaces Aid. Frank
Marcino as the city’s repre-
sentative on the North Van
Recreation Commission,
while Ald. Marcino will serve
on the North Shore Safety
Council and the Board of
Health.

Ald. Jack Loucks will be
-the city’s spokesman on the
Lions Gate Hospital Board,
Ald. Howard will represent
council at the North Van
Chamber of Commerce, as
well as being appointed to
the Board of Health.

The Housing Committee
will consist of all members of
council with Ald. Marcino as
acting chairman.

Mayor Reid will be the
city’s representative on the
Greater Vancouver Regional
District Board.

The mayor will also serve
on the Labor Relations
Board, togethér with City

Administrator Ed Raymond.

Ald. Dean was. named as an
alternate.

Ald. Howard and Ald. Jim
Warne were appointed to the
Advisory Design Panel for
the city. Representatives on
the North Shore Neighbor-
hood House Board and the
Library Board have still to be
named.

Dave Williams was elected
as the new chairman of North
Vancouver school board at its
meeting last week. Chosen
as new vice-chairman was
‘trustee Frank Warburton.

. Veteran trustees Dorothy
Lynas and Cliff Adkins --
who, together with Williams,
were re-elected for a further
term at last November’s
municipal polls -- were also
sworn into office.

Seymour Ratepayers As-
sociation wants as many.
people as possible from the
Maplewood-Seymour area to
turn out for its meeting
tonight (Wednesday, Janu-

ary 12), where plans for the

future development of the
area will be discussed in
conjunction with the several
Seymour reports.

Hon. Jack Davis, M.L.A.,
will be among those present.

A final meeting will be
held a weck from today
(Wednesday, January 19)
with the North Vancouver

District mayor, council and.

professional staff to present
the  association’s recom-
mendations for the area.

Doris Chu, president of the
Seymour Ratepayers Assoc-
iation, says a 100 per cent
backing is needed from all
residents in order to ensure
council gives proper consid-
eration to their wishes and
ideas before any absolute
decisions or an approach to
development occurs.

Boycotting would work if
everybody got together. But
there are lots of coffee

addicts, and these people
will keep drinking no matter
what the price.

AAWS G'Géee « Around the Councils

North Van City council was
in a money-conscious mood
at Monday’s meeting. Alder-
men agreed to tighten up on
their own spending in the
coming year by presenting
receipts for all expenses
incurred in the. course of

_ their duties, including atten-

dance at meetings in the
Greater Vancouver area.

However, although Mayor
Tom Reid described the
present flat-rate allowance of
$60 per day as ‘“‘ludicrous,”’
council voted to maintain
that rate for attendance at
out-of-town conferences.

By a 4-3 vote council also
rolled back a $2,508 salary
increase in City Administra-
tor Ed Raymond’s salary,
passed by the outgoing 1976
council only two weeks
earlier.

Voting for the roll-back— |

which would have brought
the administrator’s annual

_ remuneration to %$44,052—

were Aldermen Stella ‘Jo’
Dean, Ralph Hall, Marc
Howard and. Jim Warne.
Against the roll-back were
Mayor Reid, Ald. Jack
Loucks and Ald.
Marcino. (See also story on
page 6).

In other business council
authorized the hiring of a
patrolman to enforce. city
parking regulations, with the
decision to be reviewed in six
months time. .

I have already started stock-

prices are still reasonable. I

really hope that a coffee |

boycott would work.

I think that a coffee boycott is is

‘a good idea. But I don‘t know

if enough people would do it
to actually bring» down
prices.

Vancouver council
received a recom-

Jones for a proposed senior
citizens’ housing project at
Horseshoe Bay, conditional

_upon the development being

scaled down from 100 units

A coffee boycott’ is a- great
idea. If we are getting ripped
off, what else” can the
consumer do?

for mineral products deliver-

_ed to the North Shore by CP
Rail would almost certainly
be raised as well. In that
event ali the big North
Vancouver terminals, for
both. grain and minerals,
could find themselves in
economic trouble with their
shippers -- to whom they
would presumably have to
‘pass on the extra costs.
