NORTH VANCOUVER residents

have until the end of December to

donate to the Mayors’ Campaign

- for African Relief — a campaign
that ends this year.

Mayor Jack Loucks of Norti

Vancouver City said envelopes

seeking donations were sent last
month to cvery household in North
Vancouver City and District.

So far, he said, about $2,000 has
been donated. But he’s hoping the
campaign will raise at least
$10,000.

“Every contribution helps,’’ he
said.

“We recognize there's still a
need for money in Africa. One of
the values of the contribution is
that the federal government will
match donations dollar for
dollar.’’

Ald. Mary Segal is representing
Mayor Marilyn Baker on the
committee for the Mayor’s Cam-
paign, which started one year ago
in Vancouver.

West Vancouver also held a
campaign at that time, but its
campaign has since concluded.

“We had a bit of a drive fast
year,’’ said Loucks.

“But it never really got off the
road. After some of the bigger
campaigns people think everything
is all right. But we stayed with it
because we felt it was wor-
thwhile.’’

He said the money wil! be for-
warded to the Save the Children
Fund of B.C. and World Vision of
Canada.

Both of these agencies are con-
tinuing to provide grain, trucks
and workers to fight famine in
Africa. Their goal is to help those
Africans in need to provide for
themselves.

Loucks said last year proceeds
from a celebrity cookbook in
North Vancouver also went to the
Mayors’ Campaign. He said the
cookbooks can still be obtained
through most real estate firms.

the car was quickly righted and towed away.

Bowen Island Community
School, with its elementary school
students from Kindergarten to
Grade 7, and nine full and part-
time teachers, is fully operating
this year within the West Van-
couver school system.

Prior to July 1, BICS was under
the jurisdiction of the Sunshine
Coast School District, though
Bowen high school students have
attended West Van high schools
for a number of years under a
special arrangement.

Unlike mainland schools, the
Bowen Island elementary school
population has grown from 37 in
1976 to 123 in 1982, increasing to
156 this year.

The modern, new school facility
built in 1978 to replace the old
school (now being used in the
seniors’ housing development) has
six classrooms, a library, a gym
(one of the best in the West Van
school system) and a portable —
all well used.

“We don’t have any empty
rooms,’’ comments principal
Sheila Luetzen.

students may look up and find
