Re: Challenge Match

In passing, might we point out that your use of the
feminine adjective "svelte" in reference to Alderman Thompson
is singularly unfortunate and possibly actionable, should he take

umbrage.

We await particulars of the rules and regulations under

which the contest will be held.

Dear Siri

Ra: Challenge Match

You will doubtlessly recall that on Nowenber 24th, 1975 the
Coquitles Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police challenged the
Meyor end Aldermen of this City to s jouss at Volleyball st 2 tine to be
later specified. We replied to your Challenge on November 26th, 1975 and -
aéviged that the Challenge vas acce;ted with Alderman P.F. Ranger to be
the Grand Hershal of the City's Forces.

You will now doubtlessly be relieved to learn thet our Council's
acceptance of your Challenge has been reconsidered and out of a destira to

‘avoid any undue enbarr to the bers of your Force, ite acceptance

hao been withdram. We are doatcucted to requast, howeves, that in place of
the Volleybali Match, a coupetition {n the ancient art of Tug-ef-War be agracd
pon; said competition to take place during the City’a Wiater Carnival vhich,
thio year, will be held on March 19th through Merch 21st.

We cen appreciate that your izsmadiate reaction will be to reject
our Council's Challenge 29 you will acubtlesaly feel coxplately out-classed,
but we would urge you to rember that there ara a nusbcr of known beavy-weiphta
an the Coquitlam R.C.N.P. Detachment, so your choice of am ‘anchor-am’ will not
be @ problem thus giving you a defioite advantage over tha mombars of our Counct)
who are all wo slin and evelte including (1% I aay say 20 without a somant's

beektetion) Ald Mike Tt
Be look forvard to receipt of your reply in due coursa.
