For Braille Foundation Christian Record Braille Foundation (CRBF) will be the recipient of a special offering given at the Castle- gar-Trail Seventh-day Ad- ventist Church, Sat. July 11. Pastor Dirk Zinner says Christian Record is one of the oldest institutions operated by the Adventist Church as a free community service for the visually and hearing im- paired regardless of race, age, faith or creed. It began in 1899 in Battle Creek, Mich., but subsequently moved to Lincoln, Neb., in 1904. Last year a Canadian Branch office was set up at Clearbrook, B.C. to facilitate the Foundation's Canadian services and activities. Services offered to the blind from Christian Record Z Ann Landers = y Dear Ann: | have been a reporter for a large metropolitan Rinvews poner for 16 years. | (and others on the paper) have lone a multitude of stores on the epidemic of unwed mothers. But now that the ages have started to dip as low as 10 and 11, it’s getting to me. We have interviewed dozens of young mothers, and they all say the same thing. They said it 16 years ago, and they are still saying it today: “HE SAID withdrawal will work.” “HE SAID you can’t get pregnant the first time.” People seem to think 10- and 11-year-olds know all there is to know about sex, but the kids we inter- view are so uninformed it’s shocking. And they come from every kind of home imaginable. Parents are NOT talking frankly about sex to their dau, hters and sons, and they refuse to let the schools talk about it. We think we could cut the number of unwanted pregnancies in half just by painting on the walls of every girls’ bathroom in every school in the nation: WITHDRAWAL WON'T WORK. YOU CAN GET PREGNANT THE FIRST TIME. Of course, this is impossibis, so would you tell them in your column? | hope it’s not too explicit: because you could get the word out like nobody e se.

Combined with an 8.4 per cent increase: Jan. 1 it will give the MLAs a 16.6-per-cent boost during the current year, lifting their yearly wage to $39,300. Premier Bill Bennett, Op- position Leader Dave Barret, cabinet ministers, the speak- er and the deputy speaker will get increases of slightly more than 20 per cent. Bennett now will be paid $75,000 a year — up consid- erably from the $52,000 a year he was was getting in 1979. The MLAs got a 31-per- cent increase in salary and tax-free expenses in 1979 under the act which also in- dexed the salaries and ex- penses to 75 per cent of the crease in the province e during the previous year. Wolfe said, however, the 18-per-cent provision was found to be inadequate, and from now on, the MLAs will get increases equal to the preceding year’s average weekly wage increase in B.C. Under the new salary schedule, cabinet ministers, who got $48,000 in 1979, now will get $70,000 a year; while the speaker and oppo- sition leader, who were paid $43,000, now will get $63,600. workers. “The storm clouds are still up there, and they're getting oer he said. “It does not look good.” His remarks followed warnings issued earlier in the day by both the International Woodworkers. of America, and the Pulp, Paper- and ‘Woodworkers of Canada that.
