@ meeting of party supporters.

“Since 1975, the Social
Credit government has
created more than 200,000
jobs,” Reynolds pointed out.

“Not one of these has been
the band-aid type solution to
*the unemployment problem
# that the NDP is so fond of
proposing.”

Reynold stesssed the only
Sway to a solid economic
recovery is through the
Social Credit government's
plan for “reality, restraint
and recovery.” A plan
which, he says must be based
on government stepping
back and letting the private

need.

He pointed out the
government had emphasized
this with a_ three-pronged
economic development
program focusing on con-
tinued growth in resource-
based industnes, further
development of secondary
manufacturing and. service
industries and an emphasis
on‘knowledge-intensive” h-
igh technology industries to
carry us into the next
century.

“I am seeking a strong
mandate from the people of
West Van-Howe Sound to
carry this message to the
legislature,” continued
Reynolds. “Many of us here
are businessmen, some are
unemployed, and all are
concerned that the future of
this province remains
bright.”

“We know that any real
sustained economic
recovery must come from
the private sector. There ts
simply is no other solution.”

HEALTH CARE plans by
the B.C. government in
1983-84 pose a serious threat
to North Shore hospital and
community health services
already operating on a
shoestring, according to
David Schreck, NDP
candidate for North Van-
couver-Seymour.

“Since the Socred
‘restraints’ were announced
last year we have watched
Lions Gate Hospital struggle
to deliver quality care, in
spite of record surgical
waiting lists, enforced bed
closures and staff layoffs and
the loss of vital out-patient
programs,” said Schreck, a
health care expert and
currently manager of CU&C
Health Services.

“This will worsen if
hospitals get the zero budget
increase proposed by Health
Minister Nielsen when he
spoke to board chairmen.
Despite the best plans by
government, people wiil
continue to get sick but the
vital services and_ skilled
staff will not be there.”

Schreck added that
community health
capabilities struggle to deal
with budget problems of
their own.

The Shop That
Never Sleeps

| once heard a big shot novelist claim that if he got in a
good moming’s work, he was happy for the day. Many
people believe that they do their best work in the morn-
ing, and I suppose that is why we have such long mom
ings at Crash Pad — they start at 7 am That's when |
start, too. | come in here and sit, where it’s quiet, and try
and think. This will last all of 4 or 5 minutes

Long Day on the Night Shift, Dept.

After the hub bub starts, say 7-04 AM of a Monday mor
ning, you can safely say that Crash Pad keeps on steam
ing and trucking nght through until six o'clock Friday
night. We have bodymen and painters coming in, at
night, and even on week-ends. The coffee is brewing at all
hours, and maybe even the smell of bacon and eqgs waf.
ting out over the parking lot at five-thirty in the moming,
the aroma of a pre dawn brunch. What does all this ac
tivity have to do with you? ,

Small Jobs in Small Hours, Dept.

Imagine you bring your car in at two in the aftemoon It
has a minor ding, but at most other places you would be
without wheels for probably close to 48 hours We can, in
most cases, give you a loaner and plug your car into the
night shift, and have it back to you for work the next mor
ning For cntical cases, such as essential vehicles and
cars with radio phones, we'll take it on a Fnday night
and, depending on the damage, have it ready for you
Monday moming These mad hours wear me down a lit
tle. but really make for customer satisfaction | love see
ing the expression on someone's face when they find out
how fast we can put them behind the wheel again It’s a
real emotional boost, and like | said, | guess [m= just an
emotional guy

The Leased Beast, Dept.

i thought it was very diplomat last week the way | drew
attention to the fact that you folks don't have to take your
car into the dealer for body work A few other people
liked the idea too, mainly Honda owners, because we got
another herd tn this week | would like to now point out
that if you dive a leased car, the same rule applies In
tact, | worked at Dueck for 16 years, and we had 3000
lease vehicles on the road at any one ttme The main
concem was to preserve the sale ability of the car after
the lease expired what lease manager wants to try and
unload a 3 year old car with a finish like curnmpled tin foil?
As a leasing dnver your main concem ts not getting
whacked with an extra bill for depreciated value two

years after the repaiw job Beheve me, after 16 years |

know Thats why when you bring your leased car in to
C1ash Pad. | make it my own special concern | suppose
tes been bred into me
