Dear Editor:

quiet is a betrayal of those millions who perished in the concentration camps.

I think Mr. Collins should, at the very least, apologize for his er- ror, particularly to those who sur-

vived, and most of all ta the children whose parents died in these concentration camps.

News ‘reflects popular opinion’

Dear Editor:

So Alderman Bill Bell is upset with our local newspaper. Strange reasoning.

But for the publicity given to his pique at the way the North Shore News is edited, he would have re- mained a relatively inconspicuous figure leading a low-profile public life as a nonentity of undefined qualities. His willingness ta expose his judgment to rejection by his peers confirms only that his con- cepts of popular opinion are as obscure as he is himself,

Without the contributions made by Doug Collins, the Nozth Shore News would be reduced to the status of a common community newspaper. Instead, it is avidly tead within the community it serves and its readers can be found in every corner of the province and, for that matter, the country as well.

The North Shore News is nothing if not a source of pride to the community, the delight engendered by the chutzpah of our resident columnist comes as an

Here’s one for Doug

Dear Editor:

Recent feeble attempts by members of the North Vancouver City Council to discredit Doug

Collins should be treated with the derision they so richly deserve. Long may he flail away at the

Caulfeild’s First Roads Designed by Cow

Have you ever wondered why Caulleild’s roads loop and twist and turn so idiosyncratically? Well, in 1898 Francis William Caulfeild, the area’s pioneer, set out to recapture the quaint charm of an English coun- try village by planning the roads along natural contours.

And how did he identify these natural paths? Hacking his way through the dense undergrowth, Mr. Caulleild identified these paths by following a cow. That's right ... a cow. Mr, Caulfeild was frequently heard to rautter, “The cow is always right.”

The cow, whose name alas, is lost to history, was prone to wander in pursuit of her destiny as Caulfeild Village’s first town planner. Today, thanks to British Airways’ generosi- ty, she could wander as far as Mr. Caulfeild’s England if she dropped by the Village to fill in Draw Forms for a Business Class return trip for two from Vancouver to London (worth $6,600) and the Villagers are donating $900 for spending money. But, in all seriousness, she'd probably prefer to drop by to welcome the new vet Dr. Wayne Hurdal at the Village's new Veterinary Clinic.

Today's Caulfeild Villagers are adept at finding their way around too. Michael Mole of Realty World is cer- tainly an expert: he might be able to find you a home by a spreading oak tree grown from Mr, Caulfeild’s acoms brought from England. Or fail- ing oaks, you might be content with fresh cut flowers or a brilliant bouquet selected by Teresa Trump of Celebn- ty Florists.

As an artist, Mr. Caulfeild would be delighted with the fine selection of frames and limited edition prints available at Peter Pang’s Caulfeild Ait Gallery. And, as a conservationist, he would certainly approve of the Village’s tree-lined setting ... a reali ty that fulfilled his plan to retain the woods and wildemess for man as well as beast.

hypocrisy and cant so prevalent in our society, and long may he con- tinue to attack the moral cowar- dice that afflicts our so-called po- litical leaders.

added bonus.

Like the council representatives who rejected Bell's ridiculous pro- posal, the North Shore News reflects popular opinion on the North Shore.

One wonders whether Alderman Bill Belt will have the courage to treat the subject as a public issue when next he seeks election.
