Crisis Centre
To Close
In Castlegar

A decision to close the
Castlegar Crisis Centre was
taken recently at a special -
meeting of the board of
directors, advisory group and
centre’ staff.

It was generally felt that
the centre had met its original
goal of providing services for
the “alienated” or disenfrah-
chised members of the com:
munity; and that the needs of
the community had changed,
making the function of the
centre obsolete.

In the last few months, few
of the services used by the
community, were unavailable
from other sources. Rather
than creating semi-legitimate
tensions to perpetuate an
organization which duplicates
services already available, it
was decided to close the centre
and dissolve’ the society.

“The spirit of the Youth
Information Project since its
inception 3 years ago, has
been dynamic and changing in
response to need,” a spokesman
for the group stated. “We also
hoped that we were and could
remain honest ially hon-

be the town's ‘representatives

The Canadian Ski Associa-

because no provision was made

included in the 1974 budget,

“The overriding objective
of my department is to ensure
that all parts of the province
benefit from the orderly dev-
elopment of the economy,” said

. Mr. Lauk, “and to that end I

have asked the Task Force to:
{a) review the area’s present
socio-economic status (b) assess
its capabilities for further
development taking into con-
sideration the needs and
aspirations of local residents,
and (c) arrive at guide-lines for
future development.”

It is expected that survey

Illegal Aliens
Are Reluctant

’ Tegal aliens in Canada are
apparently reluctant to take
advantage of the current
federal amnesty program, a
spokesman for the Canada
immigration department said.

“We know a lot of them are
still seared to ‘come in,”
immigration officer J. .
Bonneau said last week after a
meeting with members of the

and Indian communities.

Port Moody,

On Oct. 20, four days after
the meeting was held, B.C.
deputy trade minister Les
Hempsall replied to Ottawa,
explaining that it had not been
posible to send a B.C. repre-
sentative to the meeting and
advising that future corres-
pondence should be directed to
jack McKeown, the trade and
industry chap in Vancouver
who is responsible for such
exhibitions,

On Nov. 6, an Ottawa
letter brought Mr. McKeown
up-to-date on previous at-
tempts to catch the B.C.
government's attention. He
was advised that the next
meeting to plan for Spokane
would be in Edmonton on Nov.

M4.

On Dec. 20 a rather
desperate External Affairs sent
a telex to deputy trade minister
Mr. Hempsall, deputy provin-
cial secretary Mr. Wallace and
Mr. McKeown. It noted that
plans for -participation in
Spokane were reaching the
critical stage. It noted that two
deadlines of Nov. 14 and Dec.
165 had passed and still there
was no decision from Victoria.

“*' On’ Dec. 21, Provincial
Secretary Ernie Hall replied by
Affairs - in

= telex:.to: External.;

Ottawa. It was composed of
just two sentences and an-
nounced that B.C. would not be
taking part in the Spokane fair.

The Ottawa types dis-
covered a similar lack of
interest from the Saskatche-
wan and Manitoba govern-
ments, but it was the rejection
from B.C., the province with
the closest ties to Spokane, that
was the clincher,

The announcement that

- Canada was pulling out of the

1974 show was made this
summer and the poor innocent
Mr, Lavk has been loudly
eloquent éver since, calling
press conferences to denounce
Ottawa's perfidy and to an-
nounce that valiant B.C. will
stand alone to save the nation’s
honor.

There are two possibilities
here. One is that Mr. Lauk
indeed has read the file, knows
the past facts and is trying to
bluff it with the public,

That is a bit hard to
believe.

The other theory, while
Mr. Lauk stands out there with
egg dripping from his chin, is
“that the senior NDP ministers
who were in the cabinet last
year while all this waffling was
going on haven't told Mr. Lauk
the facts,. are keeping their
heads low and letting the
obstreperous new boy make a
fool of himself with Ottawa.

It's a painful lesson they're
giving the lad.
