Dear Editor: It was disappointing to read your report dated July 22, 1981 “Alderman sees red over anti-bomb group”. Mr. Marcino was indeed worried that we are a highly suspect group of people, en- dangering the inhabitants of this planet by suggesting that we discard our weapons, and try to find peaceful solutions to our problems.

~Park is not ‘little known’

Dear Editor: After reading the N.S.

News July 26 re: Coast Mountain Air Rescue Society wanting a “little

known” park near Lynnterm for a heliport site, I thought I would see for myself what a “little known” park looks like. .

Upon arriving at Harbour View Park via well marked signs in the 100 block Mountain Highway, I counted a dozen vehicles in the parking lot. Advancing along the lovely walk towards the inlet, I passed at least two dozen people, plus some cyclists. 5
