The province produces about one million barrels of light and medium crude oil daily but cut that production by, about 180,000 barrels a day in three stages while 4 Women working from own home MONTREL (CP) — For Valmai Elkins, a physiother- apist and full-time consultant on childbirth education, pre- natal classes in her old home usually meant traffic jams outside the washroom. The situation reached a head when husband David remained trapped in the tub while eight pregnant women attending an evening class took turns in the connecting washroom. Valmai and a prune-skinned David decided to buy a larger, two-bath- room home. For Elkins and Canada's 365,000 self-employed women, the appeal of work- ing the the comfort of home is often tempered by inconven- iences. Many complain they are rarely free of their jobs, their earning power is limited, it is difficult to work with child- ren in the house and friends tend to think they are free for phone calls and visits. Some are paid less than the minimum wage, working in home sweatshops for the clothing industry. Few earn more than $16,000 a year. But about nine per cent of Canada's 4.8 million working women still choose to work at home. They can work their own hours, be free of trans- portation problems and the vagaries of the weather.

MacDonald and UTA ‘ Transportation Planner were in Castlegar Friday at Taks Furniture and Saturday at “Safeway with a display on a proposed system for Castle- gar. The system consists of three basic routes: A main street route serviced by one bus ‘and two during peak hours, a Toute for outlying areas, such as Robson, Rasp- berry and Brilliant, and a route to Shoreacres and Thrums, twice daily. The cost would be 50 cents within the city, 60 cents when crossing into a second zone ad up to $1 for a third zone. The buses would carry 17 passengers. In addition a dial-a-ride service would be offered to senior citizens and handi- capped persons. - a For a few cents more, an individual could call up tlie transit service ahead of time and arrange’ for the bus to stop at his doorstep.

Although the referendum was to be held in conjunction with municipal and regional district elections in Novem- ber, Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore told the city ‘council ‘Tuesday it will probably have to be delayed until January or February next year.

Carl Henne said Tuesday. © ‘The building is designed to fit around the arexa building, and there will still be’ space available for 150 parked cars when it is built, Ward con- tinued. He said that having a re- gional base for libary ser- vices means the cost per user will be"lower than if’ the municipal property owners. Detailed costs have not yet been prepared, but he esti- mates a 1/2 to two-mill tax increase throughout’ School District No. 9 would be the maximum needed to pay for the new library. _ That figure does not take into consideration any pro- vincial government. grants that the library may be able to get if the referendum passes.

City asks disabled to use marked stalls Some physically disabled people have not been using the parking stalls the city designated for them in the downtown, and the city coun- cil wants to know why. A letter is being sent to the local branch of the Canadian Paraplegic Association, pointing out that the group had asked for the spaces and asking it to tell its members to try to use the four spaces set aside for them. The association will also be asked if there are any prob- lems spaces. ¢ The council decided during its meeting Tuesday to write the letter, acting on a sug- gestion by Ald. Charlie Co- hoe.

During the arguments, he referred to the Hadikin Bros. Lumber Co., which was re- cently shut down after being sold to Atco Lumber. Atco spokesmen have said they bought Hadikins for its timber supply.. Hadikins Bros.’ sawmill in Brilliant was closed after the sale and the employees were laid off. Evans had also wanted the RDCK board to give the commission authority to search for a forestry con- sultant, with the costs to be paid for by all areas, but sother directors, disagreed. Hiring a consultant is'to be considered by the’ commis- sion members and a recom: menation will then: be made to the RDCK board, and the regional district staff will make a_ recommendation about how the: bill ‘should be paid. In‘a prepared statement, Evans also ‘suggested the commission . approach the ministry of forests, forest, companies operating in the TSA, interest groups and unions for their input. His statement continued that some of the forestry issues in this region that will be addressed in the future’ include the Valhalla Park proposal and how it might fit . into the TSA, and logging of local watersheds. He also raised a number of technical questions about the Crown wood base in the region.

Sentencing will be handed down on Monday.
