Dear Editor:

There seents to be Jess tolerance
for dogs on the North Shore now
than ever before.

Even at the Ambleside doggie
walk, J come across people who
snislas | jog by every morning
with my two black labs.

I wonder what they are doing al
the doggie walk when they clearly
dislike dogs.

I know they don't like me either
because | am the dog owner (even
though | am careful to clean up
afler my pets and they are generally
friendly beasts).

Ocassionally 1 stretch our morn-
ing run to include the seawall,
because, contrary lo what Mr.
Peirson says in his Letter of the
Day Gan. 14), dogs are welcome on
the seawall.

I know this because there is a

Dear Editor:

In the continuing discussion on

Bridge — repair, replace, tunnel! or

unconsidered solution to the prob-
lem of getting traffic out of down-
town Vancouver.

This solution involves the con-
strnction of a third crossing of
Burrard inlet at the mouth of Indian
Arm with an alignmens from west
to cast of ML Seymour Parkway,
Dollarton, White Rock, Hamber
Island, Belearra Regional Park and
on to conneer with Highway 7 in
‘Port Moouy.

The advantages of such a

Jem is that the “special marking” of
this path is confusing. Along the

that dogs are supposed to tike on
the seawalk was marked more
clearly, people dike Mr. Peirson
would nol have their evening strolls
spoiled. And perhaps if we all
showed a fitthe more tolerance for
one another, we wouldit need so

tarkway is already four lanes, the
largest span over water is compara-
ble to that of the Lions Gate and
most of the rondway to Port Moady

of solving the problent of tuking

‘ivil ‘scapegoats’ StENS

Dear Kditor:
Re: Noel Wright's article “Civil servants a major threat to the
economy” (Sunday, Jan, 23).

Once again, Noel has clobbered the civil service as a conve-
viens scapegoat not realizing they are human beings too,

in recent yours much downsizing, attrition, hiring and wage
freezes, layoffs, and privatization has not been mentioned by
him let alone the effect this all has on the quality of the service to
Canadians,

f even know of one person who after many years of loyal ser-
vice nets less than $650 every two weeks. Sure there are people
worse off than her, but civil servants ure human beings, not
scapegoats or evil people guilty uf some crime.
