Cache Creek Post office open CACHE CREEK (CP) — Eight postal workers in Cache Creek are continuing to work despite a national strike by fellow union mem- bers. Jo-Ann Cadwell, shop ste- ward for this local of Can- adian Union of Postal Work- ers, said the workers were never given a chance to par- ticipate in a strike: vote. She said they didn’t hold any meetings prior to the walk-out across the country, but the general feeling of the workers was that they wanted to stay on the joh. “We're dedicated,” she said. “We want to work.” Cadwell said communica- tion problems between the small Cache Creek local and Kamloops may be the reason the workers didn't vote. “We didn't really know ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY students, who are recent graduates from Selkirk College are, front row, left to right, instructor Stan Nixon, Anthony Bannister, Eduardo Jiminez, Louis Capalbo, Ed Kinakin and Tim Popoff.

( SCRAPER Publisher Aug. 7, 1947 to Feb. 15, 1973 BURT CAMEBELL Publ Lois eon wianoain By Alan Arbuckle OTTAWA (CP) — Slowly but steadily, officials from the order-starved Canadian nuclear industry and the fed- eral government are piecing together a deal on a Candu reactor worth hundreds of millions of dollars. “It's all process now,” said James Donnelly, president of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., a federal Crown cor- poration. “I think it's moving along,” added Frank Foulks of Mon- treal, chairman of the Organ- ization of Candu Industries. “We're not there yet, but I think there's a chance of get- ting there.” Donnelly struck a tenta- tive deal with Romania last month for that Communist country to order its second Candu. That pact now faces the “tedious” period of gov- ernment approvals necessary to actually bring it to life. “A number of people in a number of government de- partments have to get their oar in and push the thing around,” was the way one agency official responded Tuesday when asked for the latest on the Romanian sale. Romania agreed to take its first Candu in 1978, the last year the Canadian industry enjoyed a sale. But the badly- needed orders for compon- ents were never placed while the Romanians dickered with Canadian negotiators over transfering technology with the second unit of Roman's 16-reactor program.

But the contest itself has undergone a change. Originally to be known as the Nude Super Man Con- test, it will be called the Mr. Nude Apollo Contest. Pageant director Car] Al- kerton says the name was changed after a law firm acting for Warner Communi- cations Inc. and D-C Comics Ine. notified him that “super- man” is a registered trade- mark. 9 tors are worth $750 million to Canadian manufacturers. The Export Development Corp., another Crown cor- poration, and treasury board, which controls government spending, have to pass judg- ment on the deal Donnelly struck with Romania. It covers the engineering services the corporation will provide, the assistance it will | give Romenergo, the Roman- ian nuclear authority, in ord- ering components from Can- adian manufacturers and the work the Candian agency will do to assure the quality of the reactors built. “If the stamp of approval by EDC is on it, it means ; Money -is ‘available for Ro- menergo to buy the compon- * ents from‘Canada,” explained Rommel Buia, the president of Combustion Engineering of Canada who headed some of the OCI missions to Ro- mania. Romania is keen to assume the Candu technology itself and to begin building its own reactor components, paying Canadian firms royalties for the privilege. CAN LEARN?

We just wanted to work.” Dan Cunningham, presi- dent of the Kamloops Toeal, said the Cache Creek work- ers are using a lame excuse. He said the union made sev- eral attempts to contact the workers and they were in- formed of a meeting prior to the strike vote, “They haven't come to meetings for years, They re- fuse to support us.” Cadwell said’ the Cache Creek workers do not sup- port some of the demands the union is making, including the 17-week paid maternity leave. “Seventeen weeks of mat- ernity leave isn’t worth strik- ing for. You can already get 16 weeks through the gov- ernment {unemployment in- surance).” She sald the workers can understand the feelings of fellow union members on the picket lines. “But we're dedicated and we don’t want to stop work: ing.” Three posties arrested SASKATOON (CP) — Three postal workers were arrested Wednesday after a scuffle between pickets and police at Saskatoon airport. The incident took place as supporters of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, whose 28,000 members have been on strike since June 29, tried to stop Priority Post courier service at the air- port's Air Canada cargo en- trance. Police said a scuffle broke out when a male picket refused to move out of the way of a delivery van. A | female picket joined in and the two were arrested. A third picket was ar- rested after he tried to im- pede a van leaving the cargo ara. area. Union officials declinced comment on the incident.

Phone 352-6622 Halifax police strike has ended HALIFAX (CP) — A 53- day strike by Halifax's 196 patrolmen ended late Tues- day night after city council and the union voted in favor of a three-year deal that will boost a rank and file police- man's salary to $29,000 by July, 1983. Mayor Ron Wallace said after emerging from a meet- ing with council’ members that council voted unani- mously ‘to accept the new contract worked out with the help of a three-man com- mission appointed by the province. Meanwhile in another part of Halifax, about 84 per cent of the Halifax Patrolmen’s Association voted 72 per cent in favor of the package. Under terms of the new contract, policemen will earn $23,000 by 1981, $25,650 by 1982, with a third increase to $28,000 in January, 1983. Wallace said in a joint an- nouncement with the union executive he is pleased with the new package. Chief union negotiator Joe Ross said the patrolmen will be back on their beats Thursday. “We're putting the past behind us and looking to the future,” Wallace said, “When a strike is over things fall into place and things work out better than they usually will.” Ross said the contract is a reasonably good settlement even though some union members were reluctant to accept a third consecutive “three-year agreement. The union was looking for $27,000 at the end of a two-year pact or $29,100 under a three-year deal with medical benefits and shift differentials included. Under the previous contract a first class constable earned $20,000. Ce ie WS WORKER.
