] suppose most parents have argued in front
of their children at one time or another. Is this
a good thing to do or not?

Today’s question is:

‘“‘“Should parents arque in
front of vneir children?”

Lynda Hegler Bow
West Vancouver

Yes. People do argue
and you don’t want your
children to have an
unrealistic view of the
world. There are limits, of
course, and you do have
to take into account the
age of the children.

Jacci McTavish
West Vancouver

Yes, depending on the
subject matter, it is better
to speak your mind in
front of the children. It is
bad to. shield children
from normal family dis-
agreements.

personal to discuss tn

Food bank
demand up

DEMANDS ON the North Shore Food Bank rose
dramatically Wednesday, leaving organizers fear-
ing that they might not be able to meet all the de-
mand for food if the government employees union

strike continues.

By NEWS STAFF

With Human_ Resources
offices closed and emergency
welfare funds all but cut off,
the needy throughout the
province are turning increas-
ingly to volunteer community
groups such as food banks.

On the North Shore, the
number of people asking for
food on Wednesday hit 201,
well above the previous high
of 165 and almost double the
demand from the week
before.

‘‘Fortunately, we just
squeaked by,’” says North
Shore co-ordinator John
Hegeman. ‘‘We didn’t have
to turn anyone away.”’

That may change if the de-
mand remains heavy or in-
creases, he says.

‘*That worries us,’’
News

Hegeman told _ the

SE sca

Thursday. ‘‘If you project
ahead, we may wind up in a
Situation where we will take
first ones first.’’

The North Shore Food
Bank is associated with the
Greater Vancouver Food
Banks, which helps in keep-
ing the shelves filled for nor-
mal demand. Organizers also
have a small cash reserve
which enables them to pur-
chase wholesale goods when
donated stocks are low.

Despite that there are fears
that the demand for the food
bank will continue to grow as
long as the provincial
employees are out on strike.

North Shore residents
wishing to aid the cause will
find collection bins located in
all major supermarkets, in
most churches or at the
North Shore Neighborhood
House.

An Idea
Who’s Time
Never Came

by
Len Macht

Sometimes I get frustrated with my life. | mean, being the
founder of the North Shore’s biggest and most successful
body shop is one thing, but a man wants to make his mark

on life. Something permanent - etched in granite, or these
days, maybe silicone.

Flash in the Night, Dept.

In the wee hours of the moming, around this time of year
when its still dark out and the North Shore still sleeps, Ill
come into my office at Crash Pad and put on the coffee. |
consider this time of year to be my most creative, and when
I can hit it right, 'm there with my early morning brew and
there’s no interruptions, | can sit and let my mind soar ...
must be an awesome sight, metaphysically speaking. | try
to come up with earth shaking ideas that will fundamentally
change the auto industry.

Rollin’ Tea Cozies, Dept.

| am a firm believer in grabbing the primal flash as it enters
the brainpan, and this morning it was, well, er ... | thought
about all those poor people up North who must freeze in
their car seats 6 months of the year. | thought about how
awful that is, and how long it takes the inside of the car to
warm up, if indeed it ever does. So then I imagined how to
cure the problem — perhaps with insulation? Covered on
both sides with reflective material? Pre-fab, fastened
together with Velcro? | began to sketch, and came out with
what looked like a gleaming tea pot on wheels.

Any Thomas Edisons Out There,
Dept.

As you can imagine, I quickly put the whole affair in the
round file before anyone could see it. The point is, Pm sure
there are others out there like me © people who are the
great, unpaid thinkers of our time. If you have an idea, bring
it in and we'll talk about it, and if tts viable, well, [m sure the
owner of the North Shore’s biggest body shop could do
something in the spirit of capitalism.
