Living in the past

Dear Editor:

The media continue to m-
form us that the sealers wish
to continue carning their liv-

ing the same way their
ancestors did many years
ago.

I am wondering whether
these gentlemen used elec-
tricity or drove a car - for if
they do, surely we all need to
thank those who dared to
venture forth and break new
ground of thought, which
gave us electricity, the tele-
phone and speedy methods
of travel, which now fink
nations more closely

together?

To live in the past is to
negal? the future. | am all
fer the most sensible and
worthwhile idea brought up
by Paul Watson, before the
commission on seal and seal-
ing, that tourists be Mown in
to view the wonder of the
North and our beautiful lit-
tle seals.

To view these creatures at
close range will most surely
bring the tourists from near
and far, plus, give new jobs
to the many people living
near this area and those out-
side.

Don’t risk health

Dear Editor:

Victoria’s recent interfer-
ence in existing bulk food
sale regulations, which made
North Van’s Save-On-Foods
an instant beneficiary,
shows, once again, that the
government is not averse to
helping their friends if such
help is needed.

I made a motion on North
Van District Council that we
ask the North Shore Union
Board of Health to reinstate
the previous regulations and
health standards but our
District Council, while mak-
ing a lot of noise about un-
fair competition, chose to
overlook the most important
issue of all which is public
health.

To put it in a nutshell, if
Save-On-Foods can find
cheaper ways to serve the
public, so be it. We can all
rejoice. But, it is one thing
to lower food prices by using
more modern equipment or
by greater efficiency. It is
quite another to do so al the
experise of hygiene in food
handling.

I still believe we should
have followed Vancouver's
example and refused to
submit to Victoria’s
pressure,

If Victoria wants to use its
influence to unify health
food regulations it should
have insisted that the stan-

dards be raised to the level.

Vancouver rather than ap-
plying pressure tc lower
