AG - Wednesday, July 29, 1981 - North Shore News needed its p agcantry, ‘itsstyle,"and perhaps most of all, its fairy tale romanticism. in“ spite.of doom-sayers and hordes of pragmatic ‘realists who lurk about the fringes of our economically distraught country, waiting to decry uneconomic pleasures, millions of people have been captivated by the romance from the world-of the royals. From times of approaching adolescence to the grave we are constantly reminded to put aside our childish ways and to grow up. Regrettably inthat growing, we often lose the precious gift of dreams and romance, and in its place comes the stark realism of reality as-we perceive it. And what we see today in Canada is a growing discouragement among the vast majority of the people. _ There comes a time when we need a break from these unpleasant surroundings and the Royal wedding has provided us with such a respite. The fairy-tale world of red-coated soldier, . Bands; ahandsome prince and his beautiful young bride creates an image difficult to e. a, s The ‘pomp; circumstance and stability of " this: particular world has provided many of us .with.a type of anchor for these days of our national discontent. For this reason alone we can enjoy the spectacle. : But we suspect that in spite of our worldly _, Ratures, more than a few of us are suscep- > tible to dreams of castles, dragons, princes, _ beautiful ladies, and happy ever after en- y adequate Surely nobody resents the North Shore’s conservation officer having an annual vacation. ‘What really bothers the droves of locals calling’ about. black bears roaming through their yards is that the police are un- derstandably reluctant to become big game hunters and that the only other wildlife officer is at Abbotsford. It fs quite obvious the North Shore is undermanned by Fish and Wildlife and excuses that bears were not expected at this time of year are inadequate. After all, just when ARE they expected? { sunday 1139 Lonsdale Ave. North Vancouver, B.C V7M 2H4 (604) 985-2131 narth shore news ADVERTISING NEWS 980-0511 985-2131 CLASSIFIED 986-6222 CIRCULATION 6022 986-1337 Publisher Peter Speck Associate Publisher Editor-in-Chief Robert Graham Noel Wright Managing Editor News Editor Andy Fraser Chrts Uoyd General Manager Administration Berm Hilhard Advertising Director Enc Cardweti Sports Editor Patrick Rich Creative Director Tim Francis Photography Etisworth Orchson Production Director Rick Stonehouse Accounting Supervisor Circulation Director Purchaser Barbara Keen Buan A Eths Faye McCrae North Shore News, tounded nm 1 Y60 as an mdependent Community Newspaper and qualited under Schedule IH Pant Hl Paragraph Ul of the Excise Tax Act ts published each Wednesday and Sunday by North Shore Free Press Ltd and distebuted ta every doa on the North Shore Second Class Mall Heyistraton Number 3886 Subacriptions 20 per year Entire contents | 1061 North Shore Free Press Ltd. il rights reserved No responsibility marten ine tuding Manuscapts and picturan whieh shoud be accompaned by a stamped addressed envelope AGE for cred Mest VERIFIEO CIRCULATION 63 470 Wednesday 52 750 Sunday ys Former Liberal defence minister James Richardson who resigned from _ the Trudeau cabinet over the HAVE A happy ever after By CATHY LEWANDOWSKI CHICAGO (UPI) — Jim Errant envisions a restaurant with no waiters or waitresses and no tipping.
