. OTTAWA (CP) — Minis-

ters responsible for emer-
gency planning will meet in
Ottaw Friday at the invi-
tation of Privy Council Pres-
ident Yvon Pinard.

The meeting, to centre on
planning for a broad spec-
trum of emergencies, comes
after a similar meeting last
fallin Charlottetown, Pinard,
the federal minister respon-
sible for emergency planning
said in a statement.

Among the subjects dis.
missed will be financial ar-

rangements to help the re-
covery from disasters.

Last November, Pinard
announced Ottawa's policy
for emergency planning. He
said the government would
increase emphasis on co-op-
eration with the provinces.

Among other strategies,
the federal government en-
dorsed an expanded program
of emergency planning by
providing $4 million yearly to
joint federal-provincial proj-
ects. *

Paul Kerekes:

Like al all keen young ‘pale: :

the first thing Paul Kerekes
did after graduating from
high school in Chilliwack-was
togo out and look for a job. “I

forms at the Manpo' eat ‘Of
fice “I wound up down at the
Stedman's training program.
That was 1965.”

Paul has stuck. with the
store moving up.the ranks
from rookie and “gofer” to
manager to supervisor and
now finally to the ownership

of the Castlegar Stedmans. —

He's worked at a number of,
Stedmans stores and the first
store he managed was one in
Chilliwack. It was there that
he met his wife Heather.
They were married and the
couple moved to Cranbrook
where Paul spent two years
managing the Stedmans
there,

The Kerekes's then moved

to Lethbridge where Paul:
supervised 20 Stedmans'

stores. He enjoyed this posi-
tion, he stated, but “I was on
the road all the time,” and his
two small children, _ Tammy
now five and Keith now two,
“needed their Dad around
more.”

He and Heather decided to

"took for the opportunity to
.. own'a franchise, and the op-
: ‘portunity’ presented itself in

Castlegar. Paul-and Bleather

\ grabbed it,

As most. people’ ‘know,

: Stedmans stores are a Can-

adian ‘chain and Paul ex-

plained to me the two types:

Fe ownerships, Some ‘ are
“company stores” looked af-
ter by managers, and“ some
are individually-owned fran-
chises, such as the Castlegar
store.

Paul loves his work, . and
because he owns the store, he

can plan on being around for

awhile.
A lot is involved in running
a store, and when I asked

DESK WORK can’t bo avoided; but Paul
does own up to enjoying the respon- ° “It’s

juat what it is that he does he
replied, “Everything. Just
everything,” from the order-
ing of the ‘merchandise to
bagging. it for the customer

~ and everything in between.

In describing the. store
Paul says “We're a family
store with a hometown ' feel-
ing, a junior-variety depart-
ment store catering. to the
average middle-class family
person. We're not an exclu-
sive shop.” He sells every-

of items that they request.”
One of Paul's favorite res-
ponsibilities is.unloading and
unpacking the shipments of
new things that arrive. “It's
just. like Christmas,” he
claims, “I get’ Sete look at
