Southland Corp., which is also banning sales of the three magazines at the 7- Eleven stores it owns in the United States, is taking the action because of public con- cern over a possible connec tion between adult maga zines and crime, spokesman John Westernoff said. There are 432 7-Eleven stores in Canada, including one in Trail, all direetly owned by Southland. There are about 7,800 in the U.S., of which 4,500 are owned by the company and the rest oper ated by franchise, and South land said it will encourage the franchised outlets to adopt the same policy or Money Back Approx. 3,500 Items Quality Vitamins Cosmetics, Cleaning Supplies, Etc Appliances ‘@FAST COURTEOUS SERVICE GENUINE MAYTAG PARTS OWE SERVICE ALL MAKES ‘SPECIALIZE IN MAYTAG.

Brisco said the federal government provided funding for three years to help train the crew, But now it’s time for the seven to cut themselves loose from Ottawa's “umbilical cord” and get tree spacing contracts for themselves, he said. “The contracts are out there. Go and get 'em,” Brisco said. The seven — all from the Salmo area — were laid off last Thursday when a Section 38 federal grant under which they were employed ran out They showed up at Brisco’s office about 10:30 a.m. Monday with signs and placards protesting the job loss Six-year-old Panavanh Y p! person to b a Canadian 9 citizenship and the use of pesticide spraying in the forests instead of manual techniques. “Fire herbicides, hire people,” said one sign. “We need jobs, not poison. We're ready to work,” the sign added. “They trained us and as soon as they train us they don't give us a job,” Martine Caouette, said in an interview outside Brisco's office before meeting with the MP. Spokesman Jason Mason said the seven had werked for the Salmo tree-spacing firm Intensive Forestry on and off for the last three years with the help of federal grants We all want to work,” Mason said. “We're a spacing crew trained at continued on poge XY McGauley cool to co-op offer By CasNews Staff Members of the financially troubled Teachers’ Investment and Housing Co operative have been offered 51 cents on the dollar for their investments in the co-op in a takeover bid announced this week The proposal also includes an offer of shares in a subsidiary company and further cash reimbursements from the sale of TIHC real estate holdings. The proposal — made by CanWest Financial Corp. of Winnipeg — re ceived a cool reception Tuesday from retired Castlegar teacher Alma Mc Gauley who is leading the fight to free the $268 million in TIHC deposits frozen when the co-op was placed in receivership last November. “I personally feel that we as co-op members would be closer philosophi cally to a credit union than to a financial house that (CanWest) is,” said McGauley who, along with her hus band Bill, has $70,000 invested in the co-op. continued on poge A? cer . helps mother Nang cut cake shaped like a Canadian flag at dinner following ceremonies. Judge Robert Monaghan (right) presents -citizenship certificates to two of the 62 West Kootenay residents who became Conotiors Sunday 62 NEW CANADIANS SWORN IN By CasNews Staff Sixty-two West Kootenay residents from 17 different countries were sworn in as new Canadians Sunday afternoon in a grand ceremony at Stanley Humphries Secondary school, About 300 people were on hand to witness the swearing in by citizenship judge Robert Monaghan. It was the second consecutive citizenship ceremony in Castlegar. The new Canadians included 33 Castlegar residents, with the rest coming from Rossland, Grand Forks, Trail, Nelson and Ymir. “This is probably the most important day of your life,” Monaghan told the citizenship candidates before they took the oath of citizenship. “It's a day of joy and maybe sadness.” He noted the candidates had spent from three years to almost a lifetime in Canada He added that some of the candidates have sad memories of leaving their families behind to come to Canada, while for others who have their families with them, the memories are happy ones. “It takes courage to take up Your roots,” “You have shown courage and determination by leaving your home country and coming to Canada.” He said that during their time in Canada, the immigrants have had a chance to lay down new roots Monaghan told the new citizens they might feel Canadians are a “little rebellious, undisciplined or laid back.” And he said Canadians have a tendency things for granted Monaghan said that the most important right as a Canadian is the right to vote in all levels of government. “It's your right and duty to vote,” he said, adding that as new Canadians they also have the right to run for public office “You don't have to be born in Canada to become prime minister,” he said. “Your children have the right to run and hopefully some day be prime minister — lady or he said to take - VW RIS aww S man. We may be in the midst of a very important person.” Another right and duty, sometimes | overlooked, Monaghan said, is being called and serving on a jury. han said the oath of ci in Canada does not contain a clause saying that new citizens must renounce their former citizenship. ‘It allows you to be dual citizens,” he said “My feeling is that we in Canada have confidence in you people and know the longer you stay here the more Canadian you are going to become He told the audience the new Canadians represent a wide cross-section of people including: sales clerks, building contractors, young students, truck drivers, retired people, housewives, a waitress, a dishwasher, a professional engineer, farmers, a teacher, a logger and a janitor The new Canadians also represent 17 countries China, Czechoslovakia, England, Germany, Hungary, India, Iran, Italy, Laos, Philippines, Portugal. South Africa, Switzerland, U.S., Vietnam, Thailand and Zambia. After taking oaths and receiving thei? certificates Monaghan said: “You are all Canadians. | can tell by looking at your faces and your anticipation that you are proud to be Canadian. “You are not just citizens of this valley,” naseaghas said. “You are now citizens of all of Canada and have the same rights, the same responsibilities and privileges as Canadian-born people. “You just recently joined the club of Canadians” with a membership of more than 25 million people. continued on poge AZ a great DBA set to unveil new By SIMON BIRCH A long-awaited facelift for Castle- gar’s downtown core is in a “holding pattern” while the area's square foot- age is totalled and merchants are notified of the costs to their businesses, a spokesman for the downtown revital- ization committee said Tuesday. But Brian Pritchard says the revital- ization plan “looks better now than it has.” Pritchard is one of three mem bers on the committee, which is acting as a coordinator for the revitalization roject. Pritchard explained that the esti- mated total cost of the project will be divided by the square footage involved and tied in with the City of Castlegar’s financial contribution to the project in order to come up with the cost to the merchants. However. he said he is “not at liberty to give figures” until each merchant involved has been contacted about the plan. Pritchard stressed that there is nothing to hide but he said announcing the total cost of the project “could be taken out of context” by businesses in volved. He was also reluctant details about the plan itself until the committee makes its presentation to council, scheduled for April 29. Otherwise, Pritchard said talks with B.C. Tel and West Kootenay Power and Light Co. about relocating tele phone and power lines in the downtown core have gone well “B.C. Tel has been doing a fabulous INSIDE AUTHOR HERE: Best-selling suspense author William Deverell thrilled a lorge crowd at the Castlegar Library Monday with readings trom his four books and tales of his days os a criminal lawyer in Vancouver ae to reveal plan job for us,” he said, adding that the company “knows that improvements could be made just by the movement of the wires.” If the revitalization plan through, the telephone cables in ae downtown-area wilt be put under- ground and Pritchard said the company has indicated it is willing to pay “a minimum of 50 per cent of the cost.” “That's pretty good corporate citizen responsibility,” he said. But the WKPL power lines pose a different and more expensive problem, he said. High voltage power lines and all their associated equipment such as transformers are “a whole different ball game,” Pritchard said, and the cost of putting the system underground is “prohibitive.” He said the committee considered the possibility of putting the power lines underground at the same time as the telephone cables, but discovered that it would increase the costs “10 to 15 times” because of the need for such things as underground vaults to house the WKPL equipment. Instead, if the revitalization plan is approved, WKPL will mové'the power lines from the front streets into the lanes behind businesses in the down town core Pritchard said the first stage of the plan calls for a revitalization of Colum bia Avenue from city hall to the south end of the railway bridge and 3rd Street from 11th Avenue to the railway FIRM CHOSEN: A Trail firm has been chosen to construct a storage building at the Trail Armoury Compound A2 DOLLS ON DISPLAY: LONDON A British lord called for rubber sex dolls today to be placed in House of Lords library so that peers of the realm would have o better understanding of a recent European court ruling on the inflatable items The European Court of Justice ruled March 11 that the cons fiscation of the West German-made dolls by British customs officers in 1982 broke European Community free trade laws The 62-year-old Lord Barnett of Heywood and Royton made the request to laughter from the upper house atter protesting that the judgment may mean Britain could be tlooded with the rubber dolls Employment Secretary Lord Young of Grattom responded by saying the government was considering the implications of the ruling ond added 1 may disappoint some of your lordships by saying | cannot accede to this reques!
