(CP) — When Howard Milligan began cutting hair at the town barbership in 1927, a short-back-and-sides went for 25 cents and a shave cost a dime. Fresh off the farm when he took up barbering in this southwestern Ontario town of 600, Milligan says he knew more about shearing sheep than he did about shearing people. He soon caught on, though, and found himself working up to 78 hours a week for a salary of $8. “Even with those long hours a customer was lucky if for fi WHNI e leele] Lottery numbers to those matching three regular numbers, The winning numbers drawn Thursday in The Pick lottery were 4, 10, 16, 23, 41, 47, 49 and 56. ; The winning numbers in the Pacific Express draw Saturday night were: 785657 108208 and 672727.

Women as well as men came to be trimmed back in those early days because the “bob” was in style, he recalls. He boasts one of his most famous customers was a woman — the late Agnes Macphail, Canada’s first woman member of Parlia- ment.

However, the workers will be forced to take pay cuts of Canadian Airlines’ oper as much as 50 per cent. “They're going to be hiring them at lower wages,” confirmed Sue Szczawinska, a spokesman for the Trans- portation Communications Union which represents the Canadian Airlines employees at the airport.

The announcement came in presi- dent Nick Ogloffs address to 200 members and guests at the credit union's annual meeting at the Cominco Arena gym in Trail last night. Ogloff said the credit union experienced “a vast improvement in net income over the past year” and attributed the im- provements to “fiscal restraint and business judgment.” Doug Stanley, the credit union's chief executive officer, said the credit union saved over $234,000 in admin- istration expenses from the previous year, with the largest saving coming from fewer losses on loans and bad _ debts. “At the end of 1987, allowanee for losses on problem loans stood at $246,000, down substantially from the previous year,” Stanley said. Last year's allowance for bad loans was $949,100. “The credit union made $741,000 in 1987 before taxes and dividends, com- continued on page A2 INSIDE Don't forget Daylight Soving Time retuins’ to C gar Sunday at 2 a.m. Residents should set their clocks ahead one hour before going to bed Saturday. burster told the Castlegar News.

More students from that district go on to post-secondary education in aca demic and career-technical programs than any of the other 74 districts in the province. “Many socio-economic factors may account for this,” the college said. “However, other areas of the province, ranking high on socio-economic scales, have low participation rates in post secondary education despite proximity to college campuses.” Castlegar school district was noted for having the highest rate of high school graduates who attend the local college for university transfer or career-technical programs “Other school districts, with sim ilar access to a main college campus, have much lower participation rates, according to the survey As well, Selkirk College ranked second in the province in the per centage of students who transfer to universities.

In a prepared release the cham ber’s board of directors say remarks Nielsen made at a luncheon earlier this month about council's interference in the Celgar Pulp Co. woodroom closure reflect the board's views. Nielsen came under fire at a March 22 council meeting for criticizing council for its “negative” comments about the woodroom closure. Ald. Len Embree said at the time: “It seems to be the opinion of the president of the chamber at least that this council doesn’t have any business even questioning or being aware of what's going on with our corporate citizens, which I reject totally out of hand.” Embree said he is “sure” that Nielsen's remarks are only personal opinion and not shared by all chamber members. But the chamber'’s board says otherwise. “The remarks made by its presi dent at the luncheon meeting March 17 were indeed the views of the board of directors,” the board said in its release. “The board understands the city council's desire to be informed about major changes in the business com. munity. We feel, however, that in the case of the woodroom closure at Cel. gar, the council went too far in its opposition to a carefully considered business decision.” The board says council's actions were “unfortunate” because Celgar Pulp officials acted “very responsibly during the woodroom closure.” “According to information re ceived, job loss was minimized due to early retirement and the company spent extra time cleaning up the adjacent enviroriment,” the board said: “The extended publicity generated by the council's perceived interference can only harm the investment climate in this community.” The board said council become “more supportive” of employers. “A positive attitude toward the local business community will en courage expansion of current busi nesses and assist in selling the com munity to new investors.” The board also noted that council's assistance is required to “foster growth and stabili' in the business com munity. should local Zurek selected citizen of year By CasNews Staff Longtime Robson resident Rober- ta Zurek has been chosen the Castlegar area's 1987 Citizen of the Year.
