Ski fair

Dear Editor:

On behalf of the Carson
Graham Ski Club, 1 would
like to thank you for the
publicity that the North
Shore News gave in the
October 29th issue, in
support of the Carson Annual
Ski Fair. The Fair was a great

your giving us the opportun-
ity to advertise in the paper.

Dear Editor:

| When I read in the local

newspaper that _ the costs .
involved in connection ‘with

the hearing on Mr. Raison’s
dismissal might exceed
$90,000 most of which to be
borne by taxpayers, I was
incensed.

Until Mr. Raison joined

the staff at West Vancouver

‘Secondary School he had an
unblemished record at var-
ious schools’ both overseas
and in British Columbia.
What went wrong at West
Vancouver Secondary
School?

I would sugpest that ‘Mr.

Raison was: dismissed be-
cause he introduced a meas-
success and we appreciate. ure of old-fashioned teaching
methods into the casual and
permissive atmosphere
. which existed at the school
Lynn Carlile and in doing so ‘rocked the

North Vancouver. boat’ .

How many parents dis-

been corrected years ago
with a little discipline?
