Annie had been working for six years at the New

series of tragic events befell her family. Soon she
emerged as the dominant Sister, demanding obedi-

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Forestry is the only major
B.C. industry which doesn’t
‘have &n apprenticeship pro-
gram, Labor Minister Jack
Heinrich says.

Mining, pulp and paper,
heavy equipment’ and con-
struction industries have ex-

* cellent track records training

apprentices, he told the
Women's -Auxiliary of the
B.C. Social Credit Party.
‘, “You will note there is
one major industry I have not
said anything about," he said,
but later said it was forestry.

While. there. is still_a
critical shortage of appren-
tices in B.C., the minister,
said that since January theré
has been a net increase of
2,500 apprentices... \

‘His goal is to have 20,000
apprentices within two years

. —an increase from the pres-

ent figure of 16,200.

Canada must train its
own skilled laborers, because
the supply of skilled foreign
labor is rapidly declining; he
said. i

Only 28 per cent of jour-
neymen in Canada are native-
born, he said.

Heinrich’ praised the
growing maturity of B.C.
union, saying it is resulting in
fewer mandays lost to atrikes
and lockouts.

In the first nine months
of this year, 350,000 mandays
were lost in B.C., a “dramatic -
reduction “from the days
when’ we“had 1.5 million to
1.8 million’ days lost annu-
ally,” he said. -

Man-days lost is an im-

atatistic realthy i
good figures reflect a ealthy’
economy ‘and stability, fac-
tors. which are considered by
potential ors, he said.
