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-

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.

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-

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.

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

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.

Stock market in trouble?

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.

Minister of Consumer and
Corporate Affairs, Peter
Hyndman, on Sept. 24 of this
year requesting he release

members of the legislature
and the public. ; have never

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:

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.
With warmest thanks,
