Dear Editor:

Want to get yelled at? Spat upon? Called names
you wouldn't repeat in decent company?

Want to have your feet run over? Get slammed
hard enough to cause bruises then watch the culprit
continue on his way without a single word of apolo-

gy?

Want to watch the law being broken time and time
again by 19 out of 20 of those passing, with no sign of
law enforcement? Then go to the authorities and have
them tell you they can’t do anything about it because
it’s ‘‘bad PR” or ‘‘We can’t afford to patrol the

area....”"
It’s ersy.

Just take a walk across Lions Gate Bridge on either

car in order to act like a jerk, a bike will do.

I want to be able to pass cyclists as an cqual, not as

dismount when approaching pedestrians.

Where is the enforcement?

WY ‘can be the dumbest’

Dear Editor:
Where are our blue boxes?
Surrey has them, Victoria has
them. Dare we say it again: one of
the richest communities in Canada
is lagging behind the times.

Regarding the closure of our
recycling depot on June 21, West
Vancouver District Council has
had a year — ample time to find
an alternative temporary site, With

Children's community spirit

Dear Editor:
,Your cover photo of June 7

featuring the young West Van-
couver gymnast was a delight. it
was disappointing, however, to
turn to your inside coverage of -
West Vancouver Community Day
and find no mention of "the

parade’s theme: ‘‘Capture a
Dream.” . . .
: As usual, the local schools

designed their entries in response
to the year’s chosen theme. The

two elementary schools at which I .

have children showed a surprising
social awareness in their responses.
“West Bay children chose the
dream of world unity — children
dressed in ethnic costumes held
streamers from a unifying May
Pole. Irwin Park children chose
the dream of world peace. Follow-
ing a large dove, classes repre-

holding a banner with that coun-

Politicians can no fonger
disregard the depletion of the
world’s ozone, destruction of our
precious waterways and our over-
burdened landfills. We don’t need
another task force.

Let us begin with a temporary
site, then proceed with the blue

seniors, who are the most prolific
users of the depot, to rent a taxi to

surely we shall have sne now.

To drive to the Gleneagle recycl-

where it is) is ludicrous.

We might be the richest in
