Mounties to get
that free lunch

By NOEL WRIGHT

THERE IS A FREE
LUNCH after all -- and
North Vancouver Mounties
are going to be the first to
enjoy it next month.

Alderman Stella Jo Dean,
chairman of the North Van
City Potice Liasion
Committee, has come up
with a program called ‘*Take
a Police Officer to Lunch”
as a kickoff to National
Police Week, May 14-19.

The program will be in-
augurated with a special

luncheon Saturday, May 12,
at 12 noon in the Seven Seas
Restaurant.

firmed the gloomy rumor.

Why is he going?

It’s true that he has been
an MP for nearly 10 years
(his 10th anniversary dinner
is to be held in June). But he
doesn’t look like a guy who's
tired out. Not only that, but
if the Blues beat the Reds tn
the next election (pun intend-
ed), he could in the normal
course of events expect to be
a minister provided the
man woth the big jaw doesn't

screw things up by per

Huntington wouldn't say

clam that his wife would

Honored guests will be up
to 50 members of the local
RCMP Detachment, lun-
ching with a cross-section of
citizens anxious to salute the
officers for their work on
behalf of the community.

In a free society the police
are the pillars of our
freedoms,'’ says Dean, ‘‘but
that pillar needs community
support; every citizen shares
the responsibility for the
safety of our streets and
property.’

‘“*‘Many people,’’ she
continued, ‘‘have never
spoken to a police officer
except when they've received
a traffic ticket. Police in
North Vancouver, under the

direction of Supt. Roy
Byrne, have been exemplary
in serving the community in
various ways.’’

Alderman Dean has also
challenged all communities
across Canada to. stage
special events of their own to
salute their police forces.

She expects many North
Shore community organiza-
tions to have representatives
at the Seven Seas luncheon.
Tickets ($5.00 each) are ob-
tainable at the North Van
Chamber of Commerce,
North Van City Hall and the
Sign of the Fish Bookshop, 7
Lonsdale Avenue.

T FIRST I COULDN’T BELIEVE that
Ron Huntington wouldn’t be running for
Capilano in the next election. I had spoken
to him only a few days previously and there was no
hint that he would be quitting. He was cussing the
Liberals as heartily as ever and acting like a guy
who was ready to storm the political parapets. But
when I got him on the phone from ‘Oftawa he con-

mand. Not in that dirt-bag

the radio shortly before
Christmas he professed

Re ‘cannibalized’ buses

Dear Editor:

Sue Cook in her letter to
the editor (March 21, 1984
Buses Cannibalized) raises
questions she might better
have sought answers to
before making her pohtcal
soapbox stand.

i am not in a position to
answer alt her questions ex-
cept to note that Flyer In-
dustries is owned by the peo-
ple of Manitoba through the
Manitoba Development
Corporation.

It is not, or ever has been,
‘‘owned’’ by the NDP
government in Winnipeg. As
a matter of fact, if the order
for the Flyer buses was made
as Ms. Cook states in 1980, it
was that well-known cham-
pion of the right, Sterling
Lyon, who lead a Conser-
vative government at the
ume. The NDP Government

was not in power until
November 1981.
lt appears to me Sue

Cook’s shp is showing more

Collins? Yuk!

Dear Editor:

This is getting to be a bit
much. The Fraser Institute
articles, the new, sexier Sun-
shine Girl and now Doug
Collins with his offensive and
inflammatory artucle. They
can ai} be seen as reflections
of the ‘‘Haves’’ wanting to
perpetuate a ‘‘Have not’’, in-
fenior group.

I sincerely hope that all
who are canvassed to
subscribe to your paper, copy
Mr. Speck’s response to male

Sunshine Boys and answer
“Yuk.”
