CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Dec, 14, 1967 ilgithearied Look One Game ‘By Harold Webber It struck me as odd the oth- eo day that. now ‘that curling geeson is here once again, no eme has asked ‘me to be on hi team. I guess it might have some- thing to do with that one game! I played in the bonspiel last year. Jt happened this wa: “I know you never curted k,| for the broom. The target on the oli are good at sports,” he lied, ea won't have any trouble at al After a statement like that, howile could” I ‘possibly let him Pm your man,” I respond- ed confidently, “see you to- morrow nigh My aie nt confidence crack- ed when I set foot on the ice and suddenly realized how slippery it Mee The coldness of the rink and a ner made me shiver. It was only the warm handshakes of the opposl- tion. and thelr casual “good lucks” and other greetings that snapped me out of it. 1 began to feel like one of the fellows. We sportsmen have an esprit de corps, i that unites ‘us under :a that are generally nailed fast.to the wooden divider, xoned across the neighboring rink, A trail broomstraws, cigaret and cigar butts followed in its wake. The rock that was on its way down the ice skidded in a manner and stopped bond of The hurried instructions be- gan: “In-turn, this way out-turn, that way,” George chanted. “Aim ice is called the ‘house,’ ” he con- tinued, ‘don't be afraid to ask questions, we don’t expect too much from you for your first game.” Being a fairly witty sports- man I felt a joke would help put everyone at ease. “I guess is one time a house is not a home! . . .

The second rock was slightly better and, ended up just .inside. the ‘nog line. “Hog } line?” “Did you ever. ...” 1 start- ed, but the lead knew what was short -of the hog lne, its pro- gress impeded ‘by the strewn litter. Some of the fellows were visibly upset but when it was explained this was my first game they attempted to hide their mallee. ed as brooms were brought into play. My teammates seemed on edge, even the spectators ap- peared restless as two or three of them pointed in our direction. When play resumed, I wav- ed to George (who had, strange- ly enough, stayed at the other end of the rink during the de- lay) that everything was fine. He didn’t acknowledge. The little confidence I had mustered during the last few ends was slow! 1 as next four rocks went very badly. The tirade handed me by the eyes.

We believe that It is in the’ ‘interest ofour employees and . the public to recall the reasons Justice Munroe gave for his 2 recommendations: 1. “In my. opinion, the: implemiéntation. at this time of the Union's proposal would not serve the long term interests of either the employees or the employers but would result,: rather, inthe early demise of many ‘operations with conse- t A.much higher p as dressed lumber, thereby ones the costs of produc- @ pald for chips in the Interior is lower than... jem _ more have vantages resulti ing from theire Giversified program of lum- ber marketing.” : 4. “Interior. stands yleld. ‘much’ less valuable timber. than. “trees on the coast and a given acre of land on the coast fram two to three times the amount of timber by volume than occurs in the Interior where the trees are shorter and of smaller diameter.” : 5. “Labor costs per 1,000 board feet are higher when the: logs are small. The smaller the log the greater the waste. is sold &. “It cannot be said that ‘the. Interior forest industry Is com. parable in an economic sense with the-forest industty on the coast.” 7..“History lends but little support for the proposition that - stumpage rates will be adjusted’so as to guarantee a quent all.” * 2. “The Interi in an cll- mate that is vastly different from its coast counterpart sai notably" because his costs Peru unit of production: are Sa is _epresenting the B.C.

Northwest, and that the .. wages paid in those areas cannot be determinative of the wages that can be paid in; the Interior.” The Interior and Coast Forest Industries are not the same. _ Noonecan justify the same wages. _ The Munroe Report must form the basis of any settlement. _ INTERIOR FOREST LABOUR RELATIONS ASSOCIATION piofona wishing 6 cooy Ot he Mons Oe should write: The Interior Labour Relations Association, 44 Wi Wie Padmore Sty Perdicion BS, '
