ICBC faces wrath of motorists VANCOUVER (CP) — The Insurance Corporation of B.C. has been flooded with complaints from motorists incensed by its attempt to collect interest on overdue car insurance payments. The insurance corporation wants to collect those pay- ments which were not for- warded by customers during the recent five-month strike at the corporation and plans to charge interest on about 90,000 accounts. During the strike, ICBC asked. about 200,000 cus- tomers to send in payments in lieu of postdated cheques the corporation had in its possession. The corporation “said it could not cash the cheques because of the strike. Spokesman Bob Egby said ICBC advertised widely during the strike, telling people it wasn’t able to cash their ‘‘pe-authorized”’ cheques and asking them to mail in their payments. About 110,000 complied with the request. The 90,000 who didn't have been sent letters from the corporation informing them that they owe the original sum plus a_ 1.5-per-cent monthly interest charge. WON'T BE CHARGED Egby said motorists will not be charged the extra interest if they send in their cheques — for the origin- ally-agreed amount — within 10 days. He said this option was not spelled out in the letter mailed to motorists this week. Mary Tarves of Clover- dale, B.C., said she was never told to mail in the payments and resents being charged interest. “In no way should the pub- lic, having no choice of in- surers, be penalized due to the chaos caused by a strike for which they are not to blame,” said ‘Tarves. “Rather they should be com- for the A} aT Incumbent Carl Henne — Two-year term. Foam insulators Get tax break VICTORIA (CP) — Own- ers of buildings insulated with urea formaldehyde foam will get a break on their property taxes, the British Columbia government said Tuesday. Stamp series marks Pope's visits abroad VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican post office will issue a series of 11 stamps devoted to the travels made outside Italy of Pope John Paul. The stamps, ranging in value between four cents and 54 cents, will be issued to mark nine trips abroad since his election three, years ago — to Mexico, Poland, Ireland and the United States, Tur- key, France, Africa, Brazil, West Germany and the Far East. in Assessed values for prop- | erty-tax purposes will be re- duced for such buildings, Fi- nance Minister Hugh Curtis said Tuesday, but Curtis would not say how much a building owner might save by _ the reduction. The B.C. Assessment Authority recognizes the ef- fect of urea formaldehyde foam on the value of a house, the minister said. The authority will adjust 1982 as- sessments if an owner can prove the existence of the in- sulation. Curtis said the size of the adjustments will depend on the extent of the insulation and the size and style of the building. Curtis adds that the de- cision does not represent a governmental judgment ‘orn possible health hazards as- sociated with the foam. It is- only arecognition of the ef- fect of adverse on LONDON (CP) — Canada's proposed constitution was finally delivered to the ‘Queon's representative to- day, scarred by a 14-month battle and held up at the last minute by fog. Esmond Butler, Gov. Gen. Ed Schreyer's secretary, handed over the proposed package for patriating the constitution to Sir Philip Moore, the Queen's private secretary. The package will be passed on to the monarch in time for her scheduled meeting with Justice Minister Jean Chre- tien tonight. Butler boarded a helicop- ter at Gawick Airport at 4:04 Legal action thwarted LONDON (CP) — Cana- dian Indians failed today in their first attempt at legal action in the British courts aimed -at establishing that Britain is responsible for protection of Indian treaty rights. Mr. Justice Harry Woolf of the High Court, Queen's «Bench Division, denied an application by the Indian As- sociation of Alberta for a hearing to challenge the offi- cials view — shared by Can- ada — that Britain has no a.m, EST, bound for Buck- ingham Palace, to deliver the proposals that will make Canada a truly independent state 114 years after Con- federation. REGAL! SEND OFF package late-night Defence Depart- ment flight to London at the cold, snow-covered Ottawa airport, along with Chretien, who guided the resolution through more than 14 months of often-bitter debate. The cleared its final Canadian hurdle Tuesday and was given a regal send-off to Great Britain. Two hours after the Senate voted 69-to-23 to bring home the constitution with a char- ter of human and language rights, large parchment cop- ies of the resolution were presented to Schreyer ina brief ceremony at his official residence. “I accept for transmission to the Queen these historic documents,” Schreyer told more than 100 invited guests representing the Who's Who of Canadian politics before turning the leather-covered documents over to Butler. The dignitaries broke into a chorus of O Canada when the ceremony ended, just as the Senate had a few hours earlier and the Commons did when its resolution was passed Dec. 2. Key players in the lengthy constitutional wrangle, par- ticularly Chretien and Oppo- sition Leader Joe Clark, were surrounded by _ several guests, : and more than a few treaty to Indians. Lawyers for the associa- tion said they will likely ap- peal the ruling, which is a blow to Indian hopes that Britain can be made to uphold their demands for changes to the Canadian con- stitutional patriation package presented to the Queen on Wednesday. The judge said the British * government's position was clearly stated in the House of Lords on July 25, 1979, by Lord Trefgarne, a Foreign Affairs spokesman.

D'Arcy had also said in the earlier interview with the Castlegar News the alle- gations were “convenient,” coming just a week before the nomination meeting. Win Gardner of Winnipeg and Hellie Wilson of Ottawa both cited personal reasons for their resignations in let- ters to Judy Erola, minister responsible for the status of women.

Editor, Castlegar News: The recent Throne Speech indicated that new Securities Act legislation would be in- troduced in the Spring Ses- sion. I have tried, so far un- successfully, with three suc- cessive Ministers of Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs to get them to release the essential information con- tained in $200,000 worth of studies funded by the tax- Payer in order that in debate we will be able to compare the new Securities Act legis- lation against the findings of the reports, These reports, the J. Hen- ry Schroeder Report on “Capital Markets” and the Brown Farris and Jefferson Report on “Small Business Development Financing" deal in part with the oper- ations of the Vancouver Stock Exchange (VSE) and the Superintendant of Bro- kers Office and have never been released. 1 wrote to the present Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, Peter Hyndman, on Sept. 24 of this year requesting he release the reports to assist the members of the legislature and the public. ; have never received a rep! On Nov. S sy Sidney Stanloy, a former public gov- ernor to the VSE, released a nine-page report on his find- ings of the operations of the Vancouver Stock Exchange and the office of the Super- intendant of Brokers: There is ‘no doubt that there is something seriously wrong in the stock market. Stanley has said so in no un- certain terms. Under the heading, “Major Findings and Conclusions Section six,”-in his report it states: “The danger of a violent explosion in the securities Symphony concert a success Editor, Castlegar News: The Baha'i C in Iran where there exists a Castlegar would like to thank all of those people who sup- ported their Tribute to the Baha'i Martyrs in Iran on Nov. 21. We the and campaign of persecution against the Baha'i community with the aim of the complete eradication of the Iranian Baha'i opportunity to share with our friends the present situation Baha'i Community says thanks Editor, Castlegar News: Nov. 25 was an important date in the history of the Castlegar Arts Council. That an orchestra of the calibre of the Victoria Symphony should come ‘and play in a school gymnasium and be so delighted with its reception from such a warm-hearted audience marks a real ad- vance in the cultural life of this city, and a. landmark in the arts council's achieve- ments. The organizers of the . event were pleased that so many Castlegar residents “ turned’ qut to enjoy the con, cert and they were proud that the orchestra members commented on the size and warmth of the audience. The orchestra was also very fa- vourably impressed by the behavior and interest of the school audiences it played to before the public perfor- mance. The arts council wishes to thank the Xi Gammo Rho society for providing the interval refreshments and the excellent buffet for the reception held in the Hi Arrow Arms after the con- cert. On Jan. 30, local people will have the opportunity to attend another very special event being sponsored by the Castlegar Arts Council, when the renowned Winnipeg Con- temporary Dance Company will come here to perform in the SHSS gym. The arts council is offering a half-price Christmas special on any family tickets (two adults, two children) pur- chased before Dec. 25. It could be the perfect gift to give a friend ‘who has every- thing.’ Tickets will be on sale at the library branches and Carl's Drugs. Judy Wearmouth on behalf of the Castlegar Arts Council We were grateful that Reggie Newkirk, director of the Human Rights Commis- sion for the Western Prov- inces, of Surrey, B.C. was able to speak at the meeting. Heritage of the Martyrs, a slide presentation, was also shown. We would like to especially thank the Doukhobor .Com- munity in Krestova who sent representatives to attend the meeting and share a message with us. Thanks also to the Castle- gar United Church and Rev- erand Ted Bristow who sent a letter of support and men- tioned the persecutions at the Sunday, Nov. 22, worship service, A sincere thank-you also goes to Lyle Kristiansen, MP for Kootenay West, who sent a letter wishing for the suc- cess of the gathering. One final thank-you to those who have said prayers for the souls of the martyrs. We are indeed grateful and ask for your d pray- indffatry in British Columbia is ever present while stan- dards and requirements re- main below those of New York, London and Toronto. If it comes, it will be disastrous for the Ministry and VSE.” The: Vancouver Stock Ex. change is obviously an es. sential part of the capital market structure of this province. Future industrial developments are dependant upon'the VSE for the raising of. capital. It has become a major centre for raising money for junior companies, However, it is now facing . very strong competition from the Toronto Stock Exchange which has decided to develop its own junior market thrust. Surely, if one compares the standards of regulations and enforcement of the Ontario Securities Commission and our own small, overburdened Superintendant of Brokers office, investors could very well opt, as some do anyway, to invest through the Tor- onto'Stock Exchange. I would like there to be an inquiry and that could be best accomplished by a com- mittee of the Legislature touring the province. I would very much appre- ciate receiving from the gen- eral public their observa- tions, your concerns and your di the. ers that the ion of the Baha'i community in Iran may come to an end.
