IF WINDING UP IN EXCESSIVE HEAT is a prospect
that bothers you, the man with whom to discuss the pro-
blem is North Van’s Patrick Bruskiewich of the United Na-

tions Association.

Patrick (987-6621) is the North
Shore’s resident expert on the
complex subject of a comprehen-
sive nuclear test ban and he’s
already having a busy year pursu-
ing his cause. January saw him
hobnobbing in Nevada with top
scientists from the major nuclear
powers — including Vitali Goldan-
ski of the Soviet Academy of
Science — as a participant there in
the International Scientific Sym-
posium on a test ban. Last month,
in the Hotel Vancouver, he was a
delegate at Canada Conference III
on the theme ‘Building the Cana-
dian Nation: Sovereignty and
Forcign Policy in the 1990s",
where he presented Opposition
Leader John Turner with a test
ban briefing book he's prepared
for the UN Association. And in
August he’s of f on a four-week
visit to China and Russia with a

UN Association delegation which
will be discussing test ban negotia-
tions with high ranking Chinese
and Soviet officials, including (if
he's not too busy) one Mikhail
Gorbachev.

For those who are actively
allergic to the threat of a global
frypan, Patrick is the neighbor to
talk to!

THE MIRACLE HAPPENED
again Sunday — for the second
time in 25 months to a well-known
West Van personality — when
63-year-old Willi Brueckel, genial
host of the Ambleside Inn, under-
went a successful heart transplant
in Edmonton's University Hospi-
tal. He'd been in Edmonton since
December, waiting for an accept- ,
able donor heart which finally

January 1986 at University Hospi-

Honesty found

ONESTY IS indeed the best potty, as a recent
tale of lottery winnings tells. |
&. Thanks to the honesty of two North Van-
couver lottery ticket merchants, a local resident is now
a whopping $3.7 million richer. When the hurried
businessman plunked down $18 for lottery tickets, he
had no time to take them with him. He found out he
won only when the merchants called his home with the
good news.

How easy it would have been for the two ticket sell-
ers to claim the windfall for themselves — a quick
ticket switch and no one would have been the wiser.

But they didn’t — to their credit. It is a refreshing
change to see that some people are truly good hearted,
and care less about money than helping others.

Such a tale restores faith in “umanity in an age
where all too often pecple are seltish and fickle, caring
only for themselves and not their fellow man.

Some may think the two foolish for passing up a
multi-million-dollar prize when it was there for the
