Alderman’s illega! suite
comments ‘disappointing

Dear Fuditer:

To obegan reading the daa 16
News letter to the editur der:
man Speaks Our Ou Hesal Suites
Issuc trom: District Alderman. br.
nie Crist, with hopeful interest but
finished doing so with a great deal
of disappointment,

Throughout his letter Crist spent
his energies complaining, | criti-
cizing, blowing his own horn and
making non-constructive — predic:
tions. It's one thing for Mr. Crist
to lay claim to the tite of social
conscience for the district council,

but his letter disteyirds das huts
and oblirzations Goa make the system
work and he must be brought ta
account for such dereliction,

bot csample: Alderman Crist
complains about the inelisioa ot
real estate represengudises (aa dhe
community's bylaw task force) and
their “elamoring for a rehivation
of the illegal suites byfaw"'
Thereby implying in error that any
changes in byhiws will only benefit
real estate developers.

In the first place, there has never
been a legitimate and educated te-
nants group) which advocated
keeping illegal suites legal,

Dear Editor:

Even though we citizens of
British Columbia know that there
is no freedom of information act
within this province, I believe we
should have one.

The privacy or confidential act
protects the professionals only and
not the individual because of the
wording of the act in the ministries
of government, medical systems

Dear Editor:

The front page photograph of
the rearing horse which appeared
in the Feb. 1 edition of the North
Shore News was rather spec-
tacular.

The image presented, however,
is contrary to that encouraged by
the North Shore Horsemen’s
Association. We endeavor to pro-
mote a safe and sensible approach
to riding, especially on public
thoroughfares. :

One of our major contributions
to the equestrian sport on the
North Shore is the provision of
alternate places to ride — away
from vehicular and pedestrian
traffic.

We publish rules of the road for
the guidance of our members,
promote trai! riding, offer clinic
and shows for horse enthusiasts of
all ages.

Anyone interested in more in-

formation about our club activities .

may call Marg Davidson 922-7996
or Anne Sheldon 929-3180.

...DUtIS it a Real Gem?

Find out what it’s really worth.

It may be your wedding ring or your
grandfather's watch. To you, it’s priceless.

But what's it really worth? Should it be insured?
if it were lost or stolen could a jeweller re-craft
it? How much would it cost to replace?

To answer all your questions, we have asked
international Gem Laboratories to hold a
Jewellery Appraisal Clinic on our premises. For a
minimum fee, a Graduate Gemologist will provide
a written appraisal — While You Wait. A
jewellery photography service is also available.

Your “jewel” may only have sentimental
value. Or it could be a real treasure. But a
professional appraisal is the only way to be sure.
