New college policy
for cancelling courses

By CasNews Staff

Selkirk College board ap-
proved a new policy Tuesday
night giving the college the
right to cancel courses, pro-
grams, or services.

The policy states that the
college will make every effort
to honor its educational com-
mitments, rules and regu-

gram at David Thompson
University Centre in Sep-
tember.

Some students who signed
up for the program wanted
compensation for expenses
incurred in preparation for
registration and attendance.

College principal Leo Per-
ra said, “Until they become

of the ii I

lations, but if
have to be made, the college
will provide as much advance
warning as possible to allow
students to make alternate
arrangements.
The motion was prompted
‘by the cancellation of the
Creative Woodworking pro-

don't think we have any con-
tractual obligations.”

The policy also says on
occasion it may be necessary
to change rules and regu-
lations without notice.

As well, expenses incurred
by students are the respon-

Beef prices
to drop

TORONTO (CP) — Con-
sumers will continue to enjoy
low beef prices well into
1982, according to. Charlie
Gracey, manager of the Can-
adian Cattlemen's Associa-
tion.

Gracey said 1981 has been
the worst year for the cattle
industry since the Great De-
pression of the 1930s. He said
the current state of the
economy indicates 1982 will
also be a bad year.

“There will be no improve-
ment in livestock pees until

No shine,
no money

What is a good shine
worth?

To School District No. 9 it's
worth $3,617 — the amount
that will be forgiven for the
lack of shine on the tiles

Elementary School.

The school board Monday
chose to accept the money
when it was told the issue
would otherwise have to go
to court. Court action would
involve the manufacturer —
who is in Japan.

Move to oust D’Arcy rejected

By CasNews Staff

The NDP provincial coun-
cil this week rejected two
motions aimed at removing
Rossland-Trail MLA Chris
D'Arcy as the party's can-
didate, and instead moved to
solve problems stemming
from the Nov. 15 nomination
convention,

If the local riding executive
can't clear up those problems
by their next meeting Jan.
18, the council has instructed
provincial party president
Gerry Stoney to form a
three-member committee to

‘ Ootischenia

Continued from Al

As well, the lots will be too small to farm efficiently,
Hallman said. “One of the most difficult problems we face
in our day-to-day work with the public in the BC. Ministry
of Agriculture and Food, is how to be efficient and make
some money on small acreage agricultural develop-
ments,” he said.

Hallman added that when small acreages are side by
side, the management of each affects the other, often ina
very “unacceptable manner.”

“If each individual does not control weeds, insects, or
diseases well on his property, neighboring operators may
have to spend large amounts of time and money to
prevent destruction of their crops by these agents
moving in from infested properties.”

He pointed to the problem in Wynndel in the Kootenay
Valley where two or three commerical orchardists are
battling insects from uncared for fruit trees.

“This type of impact can have severe consequences,” he
said.

Turning to the “long-term picture,” Hallman said his
ministry sees a “definite trend of .. . dwindling interest.”

“When an individual first acquires his one-two hectare
(2-4.5 acres) parcel of land he is very interested in its
production potential and making a financial return from

it.

“After two or three years ... this interest lessens
under the pressure of the amount of work involved and
the desire for more leisure time.”

Hallman said eventually the land is either left idle or
the crops and animals are poorly cared for.

Hallman also said once agricultural land has been
subdivided as small as two-acres, social pressures mount
to further subdivide into smaller lots.

Hallman was even more adamantly opposed to the
third alternative — minimum one-acre lots.

“If this alternative is decided upon for the Ootischenia
area, a great lack of understanding of agriculture and
where your food comes from is being expressed by the
decision makers.”

He said consumers are complaining about the high cost
of food now.

If résidents don't protect the agricultural land base and”
the potential to produge food, the future’ price paid for
food imported from other areas and other countries “will
have a very damaging effect on our standard of living and

(our independence,” he said.

John Weir said Tuesday he
can’t see the problems being
resolved before Jan. 13.

Weir said he was “opti-
mistic” after the provincial
party meeting on the week-
end, but had changed his
mind by Tuesday when he
returned to the riding.

Weir said feeling is still
very strong against D'Arcy.

The two motions the coun-
cil rejected at its weekend
meeting included one to hold
asecond nomination meeting
and another to suspend
D'Arcy'’s party membership.

Weir said both motions
came from the floor and both
were opposed by the local
riding executive delegation
on hand at the meeting.

Weir said discussion was
lengthy and “all sorts of solu-
tions were tried on” before
the council agreed to the
three-man committee.

Hyndman doesn't want his
government to increase taxes
on ‘wine and beer next year.

In his ministry's submis-
sion to the Treasur Board,
Hyndman has asked that
taxes not be increased next
year on what he calls the
“drinks of moderation” —
wine and beer.

Hyndman said Tuesday
that his proposal might not
go anywhere because Fi- ;
nance Minister Hugh Curtis {
has a challenge to balance
next year's budget.

He said Curtic might like
any suggestions from cabinet
ministers but might not be
able to approve them because
he has to balance the books.

All ministries make sub-
missions at this time of year
for plans and programs to be
included in the upcoming
budget.

In response to suggestions
that the government piles up 4
liquor’ profits while neglect- |
ing traffic safety problems, §
Hyndman said that the gov-
ernment spends more money
on programs dealing with al-
cohol abuse than it makes in
liquor profits.

Although the government
made $280 million in liquor
profits last year, he said,
more money was spent on
hospital beds, alcohol edu-
cation programs and pro-

grams within the Ministries §

of Health, Human Resources

. and the Attorney General 4
because of alcohol problems.
He said that if British
Columbians ever decided to
go back to prohibition, the
government would make

more money than it brings in { }

from liquor sales.
