IF WINDING UP IN EXCESSIVE HEAT is a prospect that bothers you, the man with whom to discuss the pro- blem is North Van’s Patrick Bruskiewich of the United Na-

tions Association.

Patrick (987-6621) is the North Shore’s resident expert on the complex subject of a comprehen- sive nuclear test ban and he’s already having a busy year pursu- ing his cause. January saw him hobnobbing in Nevada with top scientists from the major nuclear powers — including Vitali Goldan- ski of the Soviet Academy of Science — as a participant there in the International Scientific Sym- posium on a test ban. Last month, in the Hotel Vancouver, he was a delegate at Canada Conference III on the theme ‘Building the Cana- dian Nation: Sovereignty and Forcign Policy in the 1990s", where he presented Opposition Leader John Turner with a test ban briefing book he's prepared for the UN Association. And in August he’s of f on a four-week visit to China and Russia with a

UN Association delegation which will be discussing test ban negotia- tions with high ranking Chinese and Soviet officials, including (if he's not too busy) one Mikhail Gorbachev.

For those who are actively allergic to the threat of a global frypan, Patrick is the neighbor to talk to!

THE MIRACLE HAPPENED again Sunday — for the second time in 25 months to a well-known West Van personality — when 63-year-old Willi Brueckel, genial host of the Ambleside Inn, under- went a successful heart transplant in Edmonton's University Hospi- tal. He'd been in Edmonton since December, waiting for an accept- , able donor heart which finally

The carlier West Van miracle was that of 64-year-old ar- tist Daniel Izzard who received the heart of a 16-year-old girl in January 1986 at University Hospi- tal in London, Ont., and today is the picture of health and vigor. At press time, with critical days still ahead, Willi was reported to be “doing very well’. Murtha is with him as he starts what amounts toa second life — as are the prayers of their many friends,

Honesty found

ONESTY IS indeed the best potty, as a recent tale of lottery winnings tells. | &. Thanks to the honesty of two North Van- couver lottery ticket merchants, a local resident is now a whopping $3.7 million richer. When the hurried businessman plunked down $18 for lottery tickets, he had no time to take them with him. He found out he won only when the merchants called his home with the good news.

How easy it would have been for the two ticket sell- ers to claim the windfall for themselves — a quick ticket switch and no one would have been the wiser.

But they didn’t — to their credit. It is a refreshing change to see that some people are truly good hearted, and care less about money than helping others.

Such a tale restores faith in “umanity in an age where all too often pecple are seltish and fickle, caring only for themselves and not their fellow man.

Some may think the two foolish for passing up a multi-million-dollar prize when it was there for the
