This difference in views doesn’t seem too important at the present time, however. There “seems to be a long way to go before there is any sort of agree- ment on land usage in the area of the Demonstration Forest.

Like a veteran war horse of old rearing and snorting at the sound of battle, this battle-worn veteran of school grounds reared and ran for cover at the sugges- tion of doing a commentary on Bill 67, British Columbia’s new School Act, proclaimed at the beginning of September, 1989. by Nancy Orr Hardly bed-time reading — 70 pages of officialese, plus Regu- lations and Ministry Orders and -other explanatory documents to digest, with the Royal Commis- sion Reports and the old School Act as a side dish.
