MILA and Candidate Attend

Salmo NDP Luncheon

NDP Release

Nelson-Creston NDP MLA
Lorne Nicolson and Lyle Kris-
tiansen, the NDP’s candidate
for Kootenay West in the soon-
to-be-called federal election,
addressed an informal luncheon
sponsored by the’ Salmo NDP
Club, Saturday.

Nicolson stressed “The
time is now, to begin building a
sound economic base for our
children.”

He spoke of the broken
promises made by Social Credit
during the last election, spe-
cifically, “lower taxes, lower
ICBC rates and the elimination
of school taxes, It is obvious
that in each case the opposite
has taken place,

He also referred to the
share give-away program which
will cost the B.C. taxpayer
some $20 million dollars for
distribution. He suggested that
all British Columbians apply for
their families' shares to be sure
of continued provincial owner-
ship of the corporation's assets,

In speaking of what might
have been done with Salmo
Forest Products, Nicolson sug-
gested that a socially-commit-
ted government might have
moved in the manner taken by
the NDP with Ocean Falls,
Kootenay Forest Products and
CanCel, keeping the industry
B.C. owned and operated.

“The Ymir water system
situation must be looked into
and handled with the human
element taking priority over
dollars and cents. I will work
hard to see that situation
resolved,” Nicolson promised.

Lyle Kristiansen address-
ed the luncheon by attacking
the Liberal election promises
that stated they would not
impose wage and price controls.

“Needless to say they did,”
Kristiansen pointed out. They
also cut back on health care
services and cost sharing bene-
fits to the provinces, “things
that hurt the little people,” he
said.

He illustrated the charge
by saying, “When corporations
transfer assets in order to be in
a better tax position, it is
considered to be good business
practice, but when a pensioner
transfers assets in order to
receive an adequate living in-
come, it is considered to be
cheating.”

Kristiansen told the audi-

ence that the only difference
between the Conservatives and
the Liberals is that the Liberals
have Petro Canada to use in the
battle with Exxon at the present
time. The NDP held the balance
of power in the house at the -
Time Petro Can was proposed
and was instrumental in bring-
ing in the legislation,

“Image means nothing to
peoples pocket books,” Kris-
tiansen said. “When comparing
benefits received by Kootenay
West under NDP and the
present Conservative represen-
tative, there is nothing to
compart

Kristiansen challenged
Kootenay West MP Brisco to
prove he has done more for
Kootenay West “than image
building.”

Eighteen members met for
the March meeting of the
Slocan Women's Institute.

A hand-drawn Christmas
card received from the in-
stitute’s foster child in Haiti
was enjoyed by all,

It was decided that the crib
boards, bingo games and cards
that are not in use in the W.I.
Hall would be donated to the
New Denver Pavillion. It was
also agreed that a set of shelves
no longer needed in the hall
would be given to the Presby-
terian Church and a $25 dona-
tion would be sent to the
B.C.W.I. News to help defray
monthly expenses,

A motion was passed to
use all profits made for 1979
from the cedar chest raffle
project towards furnishing a
single-bed ward at the New
Denver Health Care Centre,
which is to be constructed this
year.

Several members volun-
teered to help cater the 90th
birthday party of Fred Lind-
strom of Slocan this Saturday.

Lake District Hospital has
chosen, for its 1979 project, the
purchase of a colonofiberscope.
The auxiliary's share in this
purchase will be one-third the
cost, or $2,720,

This equipment is used in
the diagnosis and removal of
polyps in the colon. It can be
adjusted to cover the entire
length of the large bowel,
enabling doctors to obtain a
clear picture and location of
polyps in this area.

At the March 12 meeting of

‘I Thanks to modern science,
an apple a day is possible year
‘round.

: Storage systems have been
perfected to assure consumers’
ofta bountiful supply of apples
12. months of the year. The
process is known in the apple
influstry as controlled atmos-
pliere storage, commonly called
CA storage.

(As soon as the fall crop is
harvested, the’ best ones are
rushed to special refrigerated
controlled atmosphere rooms.
They are scientifically put to
sleep to preserve the ‘tree-
fresh’ condition for months
after harvest,

Scientists found that ap-
piés ‘breathe’ much like ani-
mals, They take in oxygen and
give off carbon dioxide. This
process continues even after
the: fruit is picked from the
tree. By reducing the oxygen
and increasing the carbon di-
oxide in special refrigerated
stoxage rooms, apples remain in
topnotch condition from Sep-
tember through June.

needed to keep them this way.
