In today’s troubled times
radio, television and news-
papers bombard us daily
with stories about public
problems—items on every-
thing from local crime to the

nuclear arms race.

This week the Inquiring:
Reporter asks: ‘‘Other than
personal problems, what.

West Vancouver residents
have.a reputation for taking
their aesthetics seriously— |
you might say ‘‘straight on
the rocks.’’ In an effort to
pacify.those who dispute the
beauties of trees versus

views, council approved last .

tree cutting.

This procedure | outlines ’
the steps that must be taken
by a landscape lover to
improve his view. at the
expense of a neighbor’s tree.
It was designed t- “‘maintain
a balance between the
