CINEPLEX TO PURCHASE ODEON THEATRE CHAIN TORONTO (CP) — Cine- plex Corp. said Tuesday it is buying Canadian Odeon The. atres Ltd., the country's second-largest movie chain. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Cineplex chairman Garth Drabinsky said in a state- ment that the Fingold family of Toronto, which has been associated with Odeon in certain joint ventures for more than 30 years, had negotiated buying Odeon in recent weeks. After this sale has been completed, “the Fingold fam- ily will transfer its joint the- atre interests with Odeon to Cineplex in return for shares of Cineplex, subject to ap- propriate regulatory approv- als,” he added. Cineplex, which has 149 screens in 21 theatres com- pared with Odeon’s 297 screens in 164 theatres, plans ON OIL os Whiting CALGARY (CP) — Bat- tered, gruff Tom Whiting lost a leg halfway through his first quarter-century of la- boring in the Alberta oil fields. to finance the purchase with a rights issue. Certain major Cineplex shareholders, including Cemp Investments Ltd., con- trolled by the Bronfman fam- ily of Montreal, have assured the company that the rights offering will be fully taken up, Drabinsky said, adding he is confident that the take- over will increase profit op- portunities. Cineplex recently an- nounced profits of $315,095 for the first quarter of 1984 on revenues of $7.5 million, compared with $144,973 on revenues of $7 million a year ago. Canadian Odeon Theatres, controlled by the Zahorchak family, resulted from the merger in 1978 of Zahor- chak's Canadian Theatres Group Ltd. and the former Rank Organization's Odeon Theatres (Canada Ltd. bets big trol Ltd. and Triconn Pro- duction Systems Ltd. “We have to take our steps very cautiously and very methodically,” Whiting said. __ Like thousands of other in- But this roughneck kept his shirt as he rose from teenaged pipe hauler to pres- ident of a company. Now Whiting, leading younger partners Bill Groves and Brian Combs, has bet $2 million that the petroleum industry has hit bottom and is ready to rise again. Roger Soucy, general man- ager of the Petroleum Ser- vices Association of Canada, said that activity has reached a bottom that is holding. While drilling remains far below its 1980 peak, the En- ergy Resources Conservation Board reports enough recent action to raise known oil re- serves for the first time in 15 years. Whiting put his money where the hopes are by pick- ing up new equipment and employees for his Canadian Oilfield Stimulation Services Ltd. The company uses heavy, high-priced machinery to make oil and natural gas flow with high-pressure injections into wells. Whiting recently staged a debut for his new whee has had to pledge his own property and assets as security to obtain credit for his company, by signing per- sonal loan guarantees. He left a multinational oil-field service corporation to set up his own company in Innisfail, north of Calgary, five years ago. “To do this is very risky,” he said. “You have to believe in yourself and in your business.” Cominco declares dividend VANCOUVER — Cominco has declared a quarterly dividend of four cents per share on the paid-up common stock of the corporation -pay- able on June 29, 1984 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 8, 1984.

The Squad is a team of enthusiastic, hard-working and multi-talented students who will look after your garden, wash your windows, mow your lawn, walk the dog or help you clean the house. The Canada Employment Centre for students has over 200 Castlegar students registered who are available for summer employment. To hire the Odd Job Squad call 368-9126. The week of June 4 to 9 is Hire-A-Student Week all across Canada. This is the week in which we hope to have the community aware of the many college, university and high school students seeking employment. To start off the week, the Student Centre will be open on Saturday, June 2. By having the office open we hope to and 's to place orders for the Odd Job Squad Asa finale for Hire-A-Student Week we are planning an Employer Obstacle Race on June 9 in the Waneta Plaza. The theme for the race is “Finding a Summer Job.” Employers will go through the steps a student does when conducting a job search. Some of the tasks include finding a want ad in the newspaper, preparing a resume, finding a business in the phone book and breaking balloons represent- ing lack of education, experience and transportation. A reception will be held following the event. Employers interested in competing should register at the Student Employment Centre. There is a Student Employment Centre in the Castlegar City Hall every Monday from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Winlaw stu By SHELLEY HANCOCK Grandparent's Day, a new and special event, was held at Winlaw School May 11. The idea was to open the doors for the local grandparents and seniors to the modern school environment. The small rural school of not so many years ago has been replaced by the large building, the booming student population, an expanded faculty and thé philosophies and technologies of any modern Canadian school. Wihlaw welcomed the grandparents in out of the.rains to a gym decorated like springtime. The high ceiling of the gym was made comfortable and cosy with tables set with tulips, bright yellow and blue posters and crepe paper chains and flowers eireling the gym. Tours of the classrooms and library were offered witha chance for people to ask questions and watch the students and teachers in action. The visitors returned to the gym and settled down to entertainment provided by the children. As always the school band was great. It is gratifying to hear the di HAVING FUN . yeoreaers | have fun at the Castlegar Co-operative Playgraup wind-up May 24 at Kinnaird Park. Playgroup members enjoyed activities such as bicycle decorating and playing with a u parachute at its year-end n day. Playgroup will begin again in the fall. ents host grandparents between the tentative, cautious sound of September and the bolder, more rounded sounds seven months of experience brings. The encouragement and love for music teacher Gail Elder shares withthe children is heard in each musical piece. The grandparents did not get up and dance but they may have wanted to. Drama Club presented the play “The Magic of Salamanca.” The play offers entertainment for the audience and gives to the child the experience of “acting” and self assuredness to perform. The poise and fun seen in the children on stage is a tribute to Lois Lewis who gives of her lunch hours to encourage these personal growth qualities. Lee Lidstone, whose grandfather travelled all the from the coast for this spécial day, read a poem she wrote and Suzanne Hodges read-a story from a book about a relationship between a grandfather -and grandson. The Russian L class gave a pi which Tcould not but could see the pleasure the seniors got from it as well as the students. Carol Conkin conducted the school choir, a group of children to whom she devotes her talents and energies, and they sang beautifully. The choir has several boys this year, a very nice addition. Winlaw School is very strong in the music area and Karl Swanson’'s class had its own “Grandpa Song” to share. The Grade 1/2 also had a song, “Spring in the Air.” The program was concluded by a “special token” presentation. Children had made book marks, written cards and poems, made stain rose buds and they filed through the gym presenting the guests with these special momentos. Tea, coffee and a tasty array of sweets were enjoyed while the guests talked over what they had enjoyed and experienced. Special thanks go to Zena and Nonie from the recreation commission for offering the valley every opportunity to come together and share, as well as have fun. Thanks to principal Gerry Conkin for understanding the value of an open school and bringing together the old and new. Read Castaway by Lucy Irving, a young English girl looking for adventure, who answered a writer's ad for a “wife” for year on tropical island! On Tuin, an island in the Coral Sea north of Austra. lia, she soon found ad venture enough, searching daily for food and water, and being plagued by mys terious infections and in juries for which they had no medical supplies. Perhaps the castaways most difficult problem was their personal relationship, especially as the Australian government forced them to marry so as not to lower the tone of Tuin Island. Their encounters with the warmhearted Torres Strait Islanders provide much of the fun and humor in the book and without the islanders’ intervention, the castaways would have died of starvation. Be prepared for some earthy language but there's no sex and violence! . * «8 JUDY WEARMOUTH One of Canada's most famous sons, Dr. Fredrick Banting, was a man pushed beyond his capabilities to a pinnacle of fame by his almost accidental discovery of insulin. In Banting, A Biography, Michael Bliss tells the sad story of a man always aware that he wasn't worthy of the scientific accolades he'd received and who struggled continually to duplicate his first triumph, to prove himself to himself. His marriage to a beautiful Toronto socialite ended in scandal after she'd judged him merely a dull plodder. He turned to painting to ease his pain and his happiest times were on painting trips with A.Y. Jackson. When World War Two started, he threw himself into war work and was killed in a suspicious plane crash in New foundland. . 8 6 Small Expectations, Society's Betrayal of Older Women, by Leah Cohen is a stréng indictment of our society's treatment of older women. Because we glorify youth and beauty, aging women suffer a devastating loss of self esteem, intensified by the “invisibility” phenomen- on, whereas men are still considered valuable to society. Because the over 65 generation of women stayed home to cook and clean and raise the children, they weren't contributing to a pension fund and now they're subsisting on their own meagre pensions. Statistics show that almost two-thirds of women over the age of 65 live below the poverty level — that means shabby clothes and staying indoors in winter, buying cheap, starchy foods, “not being able to afford a hyacinth or a hat with ribbons,” and having no protection against being “warehoused to die” in nursing homes. By the end of the century, Canada will have over two million women in this age group. Cohen hopes that before that time, today’s feminists will exert enough pressure on the governnient to ensure that all old women have the income and support they need. 8 People who enjoyed Morris Gibson's One Man's Medicine will be happy to see the sequel A Doctor im the West. The Gibsons, a husband and wife medical team, emigrated from Britain to the little town of Okotoks, Alberta in 1965. Some of the “old West” was still alive in Okotoks then and they had the pleasure of meeting some unforgettable characters and experiencing the develop. ment of the west as we know it now. Dr. Gibson shares his memories of this part of his medical career with humor and compassion and at the same time, paints a vivid picture of this small corner of the Canadian West. . The Hunting Animal by the well known nature writer Franklin Russell, is a series of narratives about hunts and hunters. Russell writes about his own experi- ences in the field with deer and kangaroo in New Zealand and Australia, and recalls anecdotes by an old buffalo hunter in the Western Plains and an English tiger hunter from the days of the British Raj. He then turns his attention on the animal as hunter, of other animals, studying a seige mounted by a leopard on a baboon tribe in Africa, and an ant army's strategy against a termite colony. From Africa, he moves to the frozen North, describing the heroic hunting of the Emperor penguin and the tricks of one of the world’s greatest predators, the Mackenzie wolf. . 8 @. Students wondering about the feasibility of travelling abroad and finding some kind of work to support themselves will find an invaluable guide in a handbook put out by the Council on International Educational Exchange called Werk, Study, Travel Abroad, 1984-85. It gives information on the basics of going abroad, the cheapest way to travel, how to get work, etc. and includes a country-by-country guide to university pro- grams abroad. . 8 6 C.P. Stacey is one of Canada's most controversial and respected historians. His career has brought him face to face with people and events which have shaped our time. In his memoirs, A Date With , he recounts his experiences as a historian and his struggle to complete his major history of the Canadian Army. He gives us first time information on the political and military personalities he met during those years, and his outspoken impressions of some of the leading figures of the day.
