CHEI SEA IS only one of many North Shore children who are anxiously measuring their sunftowers in preparation for the upcoming Maplewood Farm Sunflower Contest. This spr-
ing, the farm gave away sunflower seeds to all children interested in planting then, and on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 10 a.m. to noon, judges will choose the best — not necessarily the
biggest — result. For information on ti- contest, which takes place during the farm’s Sixth Annual Farm Fair, call Maplewood Farm at 929-5610.

A GROUP of North Shore-based doctors wants the number
of police patrolling the Sea-to-Sky Highway doubled to help
cut the escalating number of traffic-accident related deaths

and injuries along the road.

proposal to the provincial gov-

ernment’s Traffic Safety Director-
ate when it holds a public meeting
Tuesday night at the Lonsdale
Quay Hotel.

Scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.,
the meeting is one of a series being
held around the province to collect
submissions on traffic safety.

Dr. Ian Morgan, the North

Vancouver family doctor who was
the original instigator behind the
submission, said the Squamish
highway situation has become
evermore critical with the high-
way’s growing traffic volumes.
“The main problem with the
highway as we see it is that it is us-
ed incredibly for short periods of

dime,"’ he said. ‘‘Then it becomes
unbelievably dangerous.”’

Morgan began his push for
greater police presence along the
Squamish highway earlier this year
when two fatal accidents occurred
on the highway Feb. 24.
