A6 CASTLEGAR NEWS, April 7, 1982 Competition fought » with Mexican labor " cIUDAD SUAREZ, MEX. ICO (AP) — American indus- try, battered’ by low-priced foreign competition, is fight- ing back — with Mexicans. Tens of thousands of Mex- {can women are atitching blue jeans, ellpping together electronic gear and sasemb!- ing smal] automobile parts in astring of 620 factories, most of them American-owned, along the Mexican side of the U.8. border from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The workers are paid one-tenth or less what Amer- fcans would get, and the products are shipped duty- free, “If the United States did - not have these assembly plants we would lose a com- petitive edge on the world market," said Edward George, an economist at the University of Texas at El Paso who has studied the system of “maquiladoras,” a Spanish word for assembly plants. The National Bank of Mex- {co forecasts that the number of Mexicans employed in the maquiladoras will leap to al- most 500,000 by 1990 from - the current 185,000. “I think the future is un- lmited," , Carlos’ Riquelme, former president of a na- tional association of maquil- adoras. “I see the whole bor- der area becoming a centre of technology and industry in the 1990s." One sign of growth: The population of this dust-blown city on the Rio Grande has doubled to 800,000 in just 14 years, Ciudad Juarez now has 180 maquiladoras, with 45,000 workers. CHEAP LABOR VITAL U.S. labor unfons complain the Mexicans are taking jobs away from Americans, But George and other economists malntain the long-range aur- vival of the companies in- volved — and the jobs of their U.S. employees — would be threatened if part of the manufacturing process was not carried out by cheap, unskilled labor. The mushrooming of the border factories also is caus- ing alarm south of the bor- Companies taking advan- tage of this lucrative syatem include RCA, General Mo- tors, Farah, Hughes Aircraft, AMF and General Insttru- ment. Eighty per cent of the maquiladora workers are women, They were found to be more dexterous and patl- ent with assembly-line work — and, some say, more-un- ‘complaining than Mexican The factories pay the mini- mum wage — 280 pesos (about $7.50 Canadian) for an Nuclear holocaust jj CAMBRIDGE, ENG- LAND (AP) — A nuclear war, in Europe would kill at leaat- 160 millfon people’and most: + survivors would probably die’ from injuries or starvation, a. nuclear physicist told. a’ re- cont conference of interna: tlonal medical experts. Joseph Rotblat,. ‘Polish- born emeritus professor: at London ‘University, told the gathering of 160 doctors and - medical-researchers from'80 countries that a nuclear holo- caust would so'contaminate the atmosphere, it would be- dark in daytime. Survivors would probably die of starvation - because farming would prove impos- sible, he’ said, Rotblat was addressing the Second Congress of Interna: tional Physicians for Preven- tion of Nuclear War at Newn- ham College, Cambridge Uni: versity. The first congress, was held at Airlie House near Washington, D. Ci, in March: 1981. Soviet academician M.A. Leonid Ilyin backed up Rot- blat’s by eight-hour day, claiming that nuclear war in Europe Mabel Moore service held. Service was held this morning from St. David's Anglican Church for Mabel Annie Moore, 82, of Caatle- gar who died Sunday. Mra, Moore -was born in Yorkshire, England, coming to Canada with her parents at an early age. She grew up - and lived in Montreal until coming to Castlegar in the past year to live with her son and daughter-in-law. Mra. Moore is survived by one son, William of Castlegar and three grandchildren, Da- vid of Alaska, James of Al- berta and Susan of Comox. Rev. Desmond Carroll offi- elated.

SURVIVORS DOOMED Sir Douglas Black, presl- dent of the Royal College of Physicians and co-chairman, of the five-day congress, said. Ina keynote address: “I think: that as doctors we have a duty to point out not only that there would: be many -casualties in the event of a nuclear attack but that if there were millions of sur- , vivors they could not be fed er cared for.” ‘Dr. Lloyd Dypntas, asso- clate professor. ‘of. political economy at the University of Texas in Dallas, warned that the danger of nuclear. .war. breaking out by. accident; inereasing as armories: came larger and false’ alerts more. frequent, * diréctor’ of-'the Institute. of Psychosomatic’: Medicine! at Giessen, West Germany, sald neasiad are taught that ‘only ry hostile attitude guaranteed security, “It is: hardly imaginable’ how. the’ escalation of ‘such’ deadly ‘riska(.can’ ever be halted unless people ‘can one: day ‘release themselves en masse from this-induced par- anoia,” he said, Winning Provincial number The April 2 Provineial wwinning ticket number is 6891628, This ticket, with its complete number, | wins $ ‘Additional prizes. are $50,000 for the last six digits; .$1,000 for the last five digits; $100 for the last four digits; “Horst Eberhard. ‘Richter, P $25 for the last three digits and $10 ‘for the last two digits, . ‘The next draw takes place this, Eeiday, "Answer for Sunday Crossword Pune No, 994 POPS PLA ia RAT NY DA iT Ire a Lae ‘ RIN red (aia INEIVI TIN] ny mu SPAR tributions may be made to™ the B.C, Heart Foundation, Box 8023, Castlegar, B.C.

The series opens tonight; “T'm exceited,” said Morris Lukowich, a feisty forward who scored 92 points this season. “Last year at this time, I was-long gone. But this is another world.” The Blués, who finished third in the. Norris Division, found themselves in another world this season. After fin- . ishing second overall in the league in 1981, St. Louis was hit’ by ‘injuries- and_ incon- sistency this year.

In seven games be- tween the two teams during the 1982 season, the Jets won Emile Francis, coach of the Blues, said he didn't know if his team had an edge in the series because of its previous playoff experience. The Blues were eliminated in six games last year by the New York Rangers. “I can’t say,” Francis said. “I'm not a swami or a hou- dini.” The Blues are expected to start Mike Liut in goal while Watt, who has juggled goal- tenders Ed Staniowski and Doug Soetaert throughout the season, has kept his plans a secret.
