We also noted with inter- recent ‘ est the public hearing held June 19 to add a garden shop to the Mall, and the in- exhibit. creased activity in the area caused by the recent opening of Hollyburn Lumber. While this development is obviously beneficial to the people of North Vancouver, I cannot help but become increasingly coticerned about the tremendous increase in automobile and pedestrian traffic in the area.

Socreds sold out Dear Editor: The Socred government didn’t even wait for the rec- ommendations of the Pearse Inquiry on Federal Water Policy, due to come down in July, before rushing through its secret order-in-council on March 28 authorizing the bulk export of water from B.C. to the U.S. The Pearse Commission report, after holding public: hearings stated: ‘‘The over- whelming majority (at the hearings) rejected considera- tion of export out of hand, or’ added conditions so restrictive as to make its ap- _proval unlikely for many “years. ‘The Socred cabinet order- in-council represents a com- plete reversal of former Ca- nadian and-provincial policy on water exports and is a gross betrayal of the pro- vince’s interests, It. adopts B.C.’s fresh water resources were not for sale. ‘‘Come and see me in 20 years’’,; he told them.

Bird Raffle Chairman : Fraternal Order of Eagles North Vancouver right of course Dear Editor: Doug is right - . again. What a man! How does he do it? Yes indeed, this is Wimpland. However, although not the country of my birth it is the country of my choice, and I like it here. I’m not too sure about Doug though. Maybe he would prefer the violent excitement of a large U.S. city, or perhaps the strict discipline of a South American dictator- ship, or even the job security they provide in countries east of the Iron Curtain. So why not take off, eh, Doug. They would welcome you with open: arms. and we wouldn’t mind, really. - : Meanwhile, I'll stick it out in Wimpland knowing that . eventually the rest of the world will catch on to the fact that we have a good thing going here. Then they’ll beat a path to our door to find out how we do it. If you want to keep writ- ing though, Doug, you'll have to stay too. After all, where else in the world could you strut your stuff. Only in Wimpland, you say? Pity. Howard Dallimore North Vancouver Purves. -
