The Princess of Wales, it

at Buckingham Palace.
A‘ newspaper ‘report says
Lady Diana bluntly informed
the palace that wh she

goes, her baby, due in June, °
will follow.

This goes against past
protocol and follows. earlier
news that she expects Prince
Charles to play a much more
active role than previous
royal males in bringing up
their child. .

In the past, royal mothers
have accepted it as their duty
‘to leave that offspring behind

The Sun’ newspaper in
Britain quotes a close friend
as saying: “Diana is. not
prepared to allow her baby to
suffer emotionally because of
outdated royal positions. She
believes separating a mother -

No natural
gas worries
for 170 years

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
{AP) — World natural gas
reserves are sufficient to
meet demand for the next
170 years, the president of
the 41-nation _ International
Gas Union said Tuesday.

E. Giorgis told an Aus-
tralian Gas Association con-
vention, demand for natural

. gas had grown rapidly over’
the last two decades totalling
62.5 trillion cubic feet in 1980.
He said recent’ studies indi-
cated total recoverable world
gas reserves amounted to
9,895 trillion cubie feet, a

third of which had already ~

been proven. ‘Over the next
40 years no more than a third
of these reserves would be
used, he said.

Natural gas currently ac-
counts for 20 per cent of
international primary energy
demand, representing a 16
per cent dependence in West-
ern Europe and 30 per cent
or more in Canada, the U.S.
and the Soviet Union. ’

He’ ‘says the company is going into Alberta for a quite a bit

“Things: are dafindtly picking up, but: that’s because

Sones said consumers seem to be buying more “expensive
boats rather than lower priced models.

“People that are going to buy have the money, ani the
economy doesn’t havé much of an-effect on them,” he said.

But Jones isn’t expecting an increase this. year. “We will
feel good if we can hold our own,” he.said.

“With the price of things going up I would say we could
hold our dollar volume, but that’s less boats because they all
cost more.”

Jones Boys has laid off about three employees because of

Larry. Bosse at Bosse's Jewelry says his business isn’t
suffering because many people are still working.

“Business is running about equal to ‘nat year,” he said,
“And even 1981 was up over 1980.” >

He says no one can't say busitiess is going to fall off just
because of the pulp: mill's shutdown. -

For Bartle and Gibson, which-sells plumbing and heating

been since the company opened its store here in 1978.

And he blames it on the lack. of major construction

He said the BC Timber shutdown will definit ly, have an
effect on. business because’ people thinking: of ‘building a

PRINCE RUPERT (CP)
|} — Jim Sloan, a pulp work-
er. from Castlegar, was
elected Friday by acclam-
“ation as president of the
Pulp, Paper and Wood-
workers of Canada.

Sloan, who ‘played a
high-profile role during
last) summer's forest
strike, replaced. retiring
president Angus Macphee.

Ross McDonald and Len
Snow were elected by ac-
clamation as first and sec-
ond vice-presidents at the
annual convention,

scattering wreckage over'a =

six-kilometre tract ‘of north‘
ern Illinois, said U.S. Air
Force Lt.-Col. Duane Swim-
ley.

Officials said 23 of those
aboard were Air Force’ Re-
serve passengers. The bodies .
were taken to a temporary
morgue at the McHenry
County court.

Coroner Alvin Querham-
mer of McHenry County said
all aboard were killed and
that 18 bodies: were recov-
ered by'noon. .

Col. Phil Gunby of the
126th Air Refueling Wing, to
which the plane was at-
tached, said four crew mem-
bers and 23 passengers were
aboard the plane. Officials
said the passengers were air
force reservists assigned to
the 928th Tactical Air Lift
Group at O'Hare Interna-
tional Airport.

Gunby said the passengers
had been aboard a C-130
flying from the Washington
state to O'Hare. He said the
C-180 had engine trouble and
landed at K.I. Sawyer Air
Fores Base in northetn Mich

eae said ‘the - kc138,
which was on routine train-
ing mission,‘ picked up the
reservists to take them back
to Chicago.

Bob Raynesford of the.
Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration said the last commu-
nications the plane had with
the air control centre in
Aurora indicated no prob-
lems.

The plane was wearing the
end of its. flight when it:
exploded and -crashed in
swampy fields 80 kilometres
northwest of Chicago, but it
was not known if the weather
had anything to do with the
crash. The. U.S. National
Weather Service said the
storm was not particularly
severe.

A witness said the four-
engined jot, a military ver-
sion of the Boeing 707, lit up
the ski “like lightning.”

SEES EXPLOSION

“It was an orange color and
it was frightening because
we never saw anything that
bright before,” said Richard
Carpenter.

He said the sky got brigh-
ter before he saw the plane
emerge from the clouds, “ro-
tating in-a helicopter posi-
tion.”

“Then it went straight
down,” he said. “Then it hit.*
‘There'was ‘an enormous ex-
plosion.’ We jumped in a car
and went over there, but it

was too far’ back into the
