in fact, the present mayors of the newly merged megacities openly opposed the Liberals just prior to the election.Our premier owed them nothing but still has caved in a great deal to their wishes.- I would like to ask two questions.The first to our MNA, Mr.Jacques Chagnon: Will you publicly side with the majority of your electors and condemn the unfair demerger process openly?The second question is to the citizens of Westmount: Will you hold Mr.Chagnon accountable for his actions; and if unsatisfied, would you still vote for him?In other words, is your support for that party a given?Stanley Grossman De Maisonneuve Boul.Auction was a great success To the editor: CPE Narnia would like to extend its warmest thanks and recognition to all those who helped us out in our first silent auction with their contributions, presence and support.Over $1,000 was raised towards our new playground structure.Our event was a great success thanks to all those who worked so hard to make it happen: community, staff, parents and board members alike.The ambiance was terrific, thanks to the decorating team and the wonderful musical talent of Mickey Farkhas.We would also like to express our gratitude to the school board for letting us use the premises for our event.We would also like to give our most special thanks to all our corporate sponsors, without whom the event would surely not have been possible.We were truly touched by everyone's generosity and spirit: Chaussures Tony Shoes, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, S/he Inc., Nicholas Hoare, Double Hook, Vago Cucina Italiana, the Comedy Nest, CJAD, Lapidarius, Salon Olivier, the Montreal Canadiens hockey team, Art- Enfant, Pom\u2019canelle, Boutique Citrouille Boutique and Zèbre Confection.\u2019 Thanks once more, and we look forward to seeing you all again next year! CPE Narnia and the board of directors Was it Irish luck?To the editor: \u201cTop of the morning\u201d to your readers.Many of us (thousands) were at the 180th St.Patrick\u2019s Day Parade.It was a \u201cjolly good show,\u201d as they say in Britain.But why should it be held the Sunday before March 17?Would it not be better if the parade were held on the 17th or the Sunday following the 17th?As it was held before the 17th, we had to rely on Irish luck for a mild parade day.e I am sure that some of the parade organizer live in Westmount.They were perhaps on the Westmount float.Perhaps they could pursuade others that next year the parade should be held on the Sunday after March 17.It will be greatly appreciated by all, as the weather should be better then.We will all suffer less.Gerald Glass Metcalfe Avenue Publisher Editor Tie Sestuent § 245 Victoria Ave., Suite 10 Westmount (Québec) H3Z 2M6 (514) 484-5610.Fax: (514) 484-6028 Direct Line: (514) 484-7523 PH Sle, Gus == fn ES Administration Advertising Director Assistant > Race Porn oat Rapes ot Sours ETI Conodian Publication no.: 1375822 Advertising Consultants Publisher's Lutvity for error: The publisher shall not be hable for sight changes or typograptæcal errors that do not lessen the value of an advertisement.The publisher's Kability for other errors of omissions m connection with any advertisement is strictly mited to publication of the advertse- ment in any subsequent sue ov the refund of any mondes paid for the advertisement, Toute reproduction des annonces ou miormabions, er: tout cu en partie, de fagon officielle cu non- : Gordon Brewerton ext 27 Classified Boxed Ads e-mail:publisher@transcontinental.ca Classified Ads por (so) 668.201 Graphic Designer + Emanuela Niculescu ax: .: Wayne Larsen ext 32 Regional Offic Printing «Transcontinental Printing D.E inc.e-mail:larsenw@transcontinental ca egiona ê : Division Transmag Debbie D 2 Hebdos Transcontinental / Western Montreal 10807, rue Mirabeau ebbie Dore ext .° : Or x 3677 Des Sources, Dollard des ome, &¢ H9B 2T6 Ville d'Anjou, Qc, HI] 117 ;

in Westmount would be com- ed.If that scenario were to unfold, one of the two will disappear.Since last year, the police union has been clamouring for a major reorganization of the neighbourhood stations.According to the union, police officers have been complaining that they don\u2019t have enough resources for the number of stations in the neighbourhood policing system.In the evening shifts, the police force is stretched to its maximum, leading to inadequate service.Because each neighbourhood station requires at least one officer to be on duty inside, the number of officers out on patrol has been reduced as a result.\u201d Thirty-Five Years Ago March 15, 1969 DRUG-FREE SCHOOL?: \u201cWhile acknowledging that there may be a drug problem in the community, Westmount\u2019s school commissioners are satisfied that there is no direct cause for concern for students of Westmount High School in this regard.In reviewing plans for an educational program being undertaken nonetheless, Chairman William T.Wood told Monday evening\u2019s statutory March meeting that recent studies revealed that at no time had drugs of any sort been found in the school, no pupil had been detected under the influence, and there was no trafficking on school premises.\u201d Forty-Five Years Ago March 13, 1959 SPEEDERS BEWARE: \u201cAfter six weeks of testing, the City of Westmount will be the first municipality on the island of Montreal to check the speed of traffic on its streets with dar equipment.The system is escribed as a means of educating not penalizing, and only cautionary tickets will be issued in the next two weeks\u2014 except in cases of flagrant violation.Thereafter, the police department will begin issuing traffic tickets to speeders.In a statement to the Examiner, Mayor J.C.Cushing said: \u2018Law abiding motorists have nothing to fear from radar speed measurements on Westmount streets.\u2019\u201d Sixty-Five Years Ago March 16, 1939 BIKE CRACKDOWN: \u201cBicycle riders who drive their machines on sidewalks, pass red lights, fail to heed stop signs, or in any way violate Traffic Bylaw 452 will henceforth be fined, Chief of Police and Fire Departments W.Gough told the Examiner yesterday.À police drive to curb dangerous driving on the part of cyclists is being launched today and all members of the force have been instructed to give a traffic ticket to any bicycle rider found breaking the law.\u201d En The new limits of Westmount-Ville Marie Lucienne Robillard Fr | would like to begin my column by saying that | hope some of you had the same opportunity as | did last Sunday to participate in the annual and historic 180th St.Patrick's Day Parade.It was fun to be part of the crowd and see the glowing faces of all the participants in the event, including some of you who I waved at on the float representing Westmount.This parade is the oldest in all of North America and it has never been cancelled; Sunday was no exception.It is the most important parade in Canada and third most important in North America, following New York and Chicago.It is at events such as these that demonstrate our diverse multicultural heritage.It reminds us that people from different ethnic origins have played a significant role in the development of Canada.When I see so many people from all corners of the globe come out and celebrate events like the St.Patrick\u2019s Day Parade, it warms my heart to know that Canada, and in particular Montreal, is so welcoming to multiculturalism.It is this sense of community diversity that makes I realize how privileged I am to represent such a magnificent constituency as Westmount-Ville Marie, a riding that I consider a \u2018mini-Canada\u2019 because of its large multiplicity.It truly represents Canada\u2019s bilingual and multicultural heritage.This brings me to inform you of some important news concerning the federal riding of Westmount-Ville Marie.Every five years, Canada holds a census, which enables to have a good overall understanding of the changing demographics of the country.Based on the information collected in the census, Elections Canada proceeds to have a revision of the electoral boundaries across the country.Following this revision, Westmount-Ville Marie has been affected, like many other constituencies.It is with a sense of grief that I learned that our riding will lose a sector AR SILVERSEA EXPERIENCE THE UITIMATE IN SIX-STAR LUXURY CRUISING us $200 p gsHIPBOARD CREDIT = 60%!
