Street Wednesday afternoon to answer a call of an oven fire. The oven, which was about 6 ft. by 4 ft. by 3 ft., was blazing and when they opened the door they were somewhat perplexed at the contents they found burning. “The thing was full of twigs and branches and pine Ambleside pool closure eyed West Vancouver council will shortly decide the fate of the municipality's outdoor pool at Ambleside. Although members made no resolution Monday night, council received a memorandum from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission recommending that Am- bleside pool no longer be used as an aquatic facility cones and things,” fire in- spector Bruce Hall told the News. “The people there mentioned something about gold.” General manager of Min- En Labs, at 705 West 15th. Street, Eric Zivarts, con- firmed: “That's right, we were looking for gold.” The pine branches had been sent from Ontario by a client who wanted them analyzed for traces of gold. Zivart said it was a proceedure the lab had carried out before, used to detect traces of gold on the land on which the sample tree was growing. and that plans be prepared for an ornamental _hor- ticultural garden in its place. Alderman George Morfitt said the pool is deteriorating badly. “It would cost five to six thousand dollars just for temporary corrections for use over the summer,” Morfitt told council. He described the heating and filtering systems as “shot”. ° But you can’t be guilty, judge says A West Vancouver youth who pleaded guilty to a charge of mischief was told by the judge that he couldn't plead guilty to that charge. Brian Stone, aged 19, of 669 East Kings Road, was charged on October 31 and he appeared recently in North Vancouver Provincial Court. Crown counsel Ken Beauchamp said that Stone was charged with wilfully damaging an eight by four inch rubber sign in the lobby of the Pink Pearl restaurant at the Westview Mall. Stone told police that while he was in the lobby waiting for a bus, he was PHONE FOR AN ESTIMATE 8&C HOUSEWARMERS LTO 1602 PEMBERTON, N.VAN @GOVT.

As for the involvement of the oven, he clarified: “We were using an electric oven to dry out the needles to test them.” , The problem was that the Oven set fire to the paper bags containing the needles and before the test had even been made the oven had become completely ruined, the roof and walls around it were damaged and there was smoke damage throughout the building. The lesson to gold pining readers is to take your pine needles out of the bag before putting them in the oven. Alderman Robert Hicks expressed concern that the pool would be closed for lack of temporary repairs. “I wouldn't want it to be construed that West Van is closing Ambleside pool over . .
