142-year-old Schreyer, whom
Ssbe has known “since he was
knee-high to a grasshopper,”
: she said he would be “one of the
: best,” although she said she

‘the near future to either
‘ Winnipeg or Ottawa to visit the
new governor-general.
: Schreyer was named last
week governor-general amid a
sflurry of warm congratulations
‘and praise from politicians
lacross the country.
The 42-year-old native of
eausejour, Man. who sue-

eceds Jules Leger, told report-
ers he is looking forward with
enthusiasm to the role and the
responsibilities.

“But | would be less than
honest if I didn’t say I was
somewhat surprised and slight-
ly overwhelmed,” he added.

Father of four and a former
political science professor,
Schreyer is the fifth Governor.
General since Canadians began
to be selected for the role of the
Queen's representative in 1952.

increased to conduct more
“extensive investigation of finan-
cial and other needs of the
planned fire department.

divided into ‘subcommittees re-
sponsible for building and lands
for the fire department, re-
cruiting and training, equip-
ment, constitution and bylaws
and communications and alarm
systems, he said.

~ A high priority for the.

committee at this time is
securing a building and land
®pon which to locate the area
firehall, he said.. He said
because the firehall is required
tp be within five miles of any
residence in the area to give
residents the best insurance
benefits available, its location
would probably be in the
Robson townsite area.
Churches said the commit-
tee is investigating several
prospective sites but would be
teceptive to any information on
other sites available. The cost
of land for the firehall must be
@etermined before the com-
mittee can prepare a fire de-
Hartment budget for presenta-

residents and eventual appro-
yal in a referendum, he said.

Lakes as a supply.

Ald, Len Embree pointed
out that the water right branch
study “produced exactly the
same results" but delayed a
government decision to fund
the city’s proposed system by
nearly a year.

“I would have been a lot
more appreciative of the $31,-
000 worth of taxpayers money
spent there if it had speeded up
the delivery of the water from
the Lower Arrow Lake to the
City of Castlegar," Embree
said.

Public Meeting Tonight
On B. Griffiths Issue

Castlegar Forest Service
ranger Hugo Wood now expects
that his headquarters will not
be large enough for this week's
public meeting on the Booty

changed the meeting from
Wednesday to today, and it will
be in the Regional Recreation
Complex at 6:30 p.m.

grams, recommended the
National Museums board of
trustees release the extra
$9,000 without the extra
funding requirement.

On the agenda is an official
explanation of why cross-coun-
try ski guide Booty Griffiths
has been ordered to remove
two bivouae shelters he has
built in the upper Big Sheep
Creek valley.

The order created a con-
siderable amount of public pro-
test, particularly as it provided
less than three weeks’ nolice.
Griffiths was subsequently
given additional time to carry
out the order, lo June 1979,

When the order was first |

made public, the Forest Service
declined to give its reasons;
today’s meeting has been called

for that purpose.

Tavern Owner
Misunderstood
Lettuce Song

Luxury, a musical group,
won $400 in small elaims court
in a rhubarb with a tavern
owner in Des Moines, Iowa who
booted them out because he
didn’t like their “vegetable
song.” ze .

“The lead singer rolled a
head of lettuce across the
floor,” testified tavern owner
Joseph Yacavona, “He picked it
up and talked to the head of
feltuce for 10 minutes.”

Leader John Eller said the
song—Call Any Vegetable by
Frank Zappa—was a humorous
song that Yacavona misunder-
stood. ‘

Magistrate Ben Kubby
said Yacavona, “signed a valid
contract and he can't renege
just because they were lousy.”

The second idea, Colored
Yule Cones, take longer, but
the attractiveness of the cones
make it worthwhile.
Colored Yule Cones

Collect one gallon of spruce :

or‘ pine cones. Dry them
completely. Remove any debris
such as needles, dust, or spider
webs with vacuum. To speed
drying, bake in a slow oven
(200°) for 15 minutes, turning
occasionally. Be careful not to
bake any longer, as cones will
become brittle. If your cones
had tightly-closed scales this
will open them.

Ina plastic or wooden (not
metal) bucket mix
1 pound Bluestone
1 pound coarse salt

You may also add 2 ounce
of any of the salts listed in the

preceding recipe or 1/2 pound

Borax.

Add 4 quarts of boiling
water and stir with a wooden
stick to dissolve salts.

Using rubber gloves (the
solution stains) place cones in a
mesh bag and lower into
solution. Weigh down until
cones have absorbed solution
and scales have closed up.

Spread cones on news-
paper and leave to dry com-
pletely. Any leftover solution
may be used to re-dip cones
after drying.

Caution: Many of these chemi-
cals are poisonous. Keep away

The goal of the program is to
provide services to develop-
mentally-delayed infants and
their families in order to facili-
tate the growth and develop-
ment of the infant.

The program is home-
based and involves working
with the family to develop an
individualized program for the
infant that will encourage his/
her development in major skills
areas.

The job of the Infant
Development Program worker
is multi-faceted and includes
the following:

e Assists the family in
planning learning activities in
the home which will encourage
the growth and development of
the infant.

e Loans’ to families ap-

propriate books and informa.
Uon to assist them in under-
standing more about normal
child development and, if ne-
cessary, a specific handicapping
condition and the impact this
handicap may have on normal
growth and development.

e Loans age-appropriate
toys and assists the family to
help the infant use the toys in
an explorative manner.

e Informs the family of
alternatives open to their infant
educationally as he/she grows
older and ensures placement at
age three into an appropriate
preschool or special needs
setting.

e Encourages parents to
take part in any decision-
making process regarding the
infant's education or health
services, :

e Sets up parent education
programs and encourages the
development of community pro-
grams which will supplement
the in-home education.

e Informs professionals
within the geographic boun-
daries of the Infant Develop-
ment Program as to the philo-
sophy of early intervention and
