JAKARTA (CP) — Canadian taxpayers who wonder
whether they are getting their money's worth from
Prime Minister Trudeau's Asian'tour might be more
upset to find out they're also footing the bill for Ralph
Ferguson.

Ferguson is the affable Liberal MP for ‘Lambton:
Middlesex in southwestern Ontario and, halfway through
the trip, it is still unclear why he is along other than to
enjoy a perk.

The MP says he has expertiso in agriculture, but that
subject hasn't figured large in the current trip. He also
says he has an interest in oil and natural gas, partly
because he hails from Petrolia, Ont., where the first oil
was produced in North America.

Officials said MPs tag along on such oe to give
them broader experience.

Recession hits B.C: contracts

Negotiations to be tough

/ANCOUVER (CP) —

e ymid- 1981, the full impact of the B.C. forest industry's
precipitous slide was still unknown. Three major unions,
representing some 63,000 workers, settled two-year
contracts — after a five-week strike — calling for pay
ineréases. of 15 per cent and 13 per cent, respectively.

Four thousand steelworkers at Cominco Ltd. won about
30 percent over two years, ferry workers got 85 per cent
over 27 months and similar contracts were being signed all
-over British ‘Columbia as unions in the resource-rich
province rode the tail end of an- economic wave.

“But our priorities have changed as a result of ‘the

members to retire and allow yotng. People i in the community

-Too much snow
_cancels races

SCHRUNS, AUSTRIA

(CP) —.The downhill is:

proving to he the most fragile
of sports.

Early in the season a num-
ber of World Cup downhill
races had to be postponed
and dates shuffled due to a
lack of snow. On Saturday,
both the women's and men’s
World Cup downhills were
postponed for exactly the op-
posite réason — too much
snow.

The Canadian women's
team hope is that the can-
cellation here, due to a snow-
fall of half metre, may work
in Gerry Sorensen’s' favor.

At Wengen, Switzerland,
the heavy snowfall coupied
with strong winds postponed
the Lauberhorn men’s race
until Monday.

Organizers here plan to
stage the race teday, but if
bad weather persists, the
race will be delayed to Mon-
day.

“The new snow means the
course will be a lot smooth-
er,” said Canadian women's
coach Currie Chapman of Ot-
tawa. “That is good for gli-
ders and Gerry is one of the
best gliders there is.

- “The problem was lack of
snow at first, now it won't
stop. We hear it is still snow-
ing heavily over in France

;tional team skiers,

and that means all that is jet
to come this way.”

Leavitt of Calgary and. Lisa
Savijarvi of Bracebridge,
Ont., bid a tearful far:well to
teammate Diane Lehodey.

Lehodey, of Calgary, who
dislocated her hip in a fall
during training Thursday,
returned to the Canadian
team's hotel briefly Saturday
before being driven to Zur-
ich. She will fly home to-
day.
“Tam really feeling no pain
now," she said. I am just
amazed how quickly it has
come around so I'm uptim-
istic that it will bea fairly
quick recovery.”

Lehodey added that X-rays
of her hip revealed a sus-
pected bone chip.

“The dislocation went out’
the back and that is where
the chip is, so I'm told it
shouldn't complicate the heal-
ing process.”
