Autoplan Insurance System
Puts Workers Back fo School

About 2,600 people whe
work in insurance agencies and
motor vehicle licensing offices
are going to “school” these days
to learn the delails of British
Columbia's new Autoplan insur-
ance system. -

The “students" are
1,000
insurance agents and 107
licensing offices of the provin-
cial motor vehicles branch, who
will be involved in writing
insurance and issuing licences
under the provincial govern-
ment’s Autoplan.

The agents will start work
in early January on the
program, when all licensed
vehicles in the province will be
required to carry the basic
insurance. Insurance -applic-
ations will be mailed around
year-end, combined, with
vehicle licence renewal forms.

A stheduld“of §4' seminars
was launched Nov. 22 and runs
to Deg. 18, with each session
accommodating about 465
trainees,

Each session is being
taught under a joint program
by a three-member team
representing the motor veh-
icles branch, ‘the Insurance

insurance easily and effic-
iently.”

ICBC senior executive—
marketing, Gordon Root
said, “Most of the people who
attended the first round of six
seminars were enthusiastic
about the system and about the
training program.”

The seminars are aimed at
making the agents and MVB
staff self-sufficient in assisting
the public to obtain their
vehicle insurance and licences.

Tentative plans are being
made to held follow-up training
sessions early next year to
equip agency and MVB people
to handle out-of-the-ordina:
transactions. 7

Many. Kits on Market

‘Handicraft Hobbies Enjoy Popularity

There is a noticeable rise in
the popularity of handicraft
hobbies, witnessed by the wide
variety of craft kits on the
market,

One explanation is that
people are re-discovering the
pleasure of doing things with
their hands, the satisfaction of
producing something that bears
their individual stamp. Another

yeason is that it’s easier to get

going.
"here is an_ increasing
number of decorative and
functional items offered today
which are designed especially
for handicrafts and sold in one
location in a department store,
or else in a hobby shop. So
whether you want to start with
a complete kit, or start from
scratch, there is everything

‘ readily available to tempt the

old-hand or the beginner to
stretch his imagination.

Gluing the bits and pieces

together, for example, is
generally considered one of the
tedious chores associated with
a craft. Rarely does one type of
glue or paste work on. every
surface. The same applies to
paints and lacquers which are
often required for the final
touches necessary to transform
the appearance of an otherwise
humble object.

This, need for specialty
glue and paint products is being
filled by a completely new line
of aerosol “Mod Tone” sprays

and plaster. Or, if you want
more delicate, “see-through”
colors, there are eight, trans-
parent shades which are
especially effective when
applied to foil.

There are also adhesives...

La Paz, Bolivia, situated in

Children's Hospital is cele-
brating its 60th Christmas this
year and many of the young:
stors who gathered round that
first tree in the wards may well
now be hanging stockings for
thelr grandchildren, They will
probably remember, however,
for who could forget the
exeltement and special happl-
ness which always permeates
the hospital at this season.

Each wing is responsible
for its own decor and for weeks
-now, school teachers, nurses
and patients have been working
on large posters to hang on
both sides of ward windows,
Egg cartons have no security at
all as they are cut up to make
wondrous mobiles that will line
corridor ceilings. On the way to
treatments, it's a comfort to
check and make certain your
plece of tinsel is still clinging
on, :

Later when the trees go up
if you cannot reach to decorate,
you can always be a wheelchair
or stretcher superintendent
and ask for your favorite angel
to be on the side nearest your
room,

In the kitchen trays have
been planned ahead with
holiday favors which can be
worn or eaten, You see some
kids go home and others don't,
soit's great to celebrate a week
or so before and right up to the
day.

Christmas at Children's
Hospital is a precious time to be
remembered well. For 50 years
in many ways people from all
over the province have gone
that extra mile to make it so.

Electricity is Single Common
Cause of Building Fires in U.S.

Because elecricity is such
an indispensible part of our
daily lives, we sometimes
overlook the fire threat it may
also present, warns vice-chair-
man of the Allstate Insurance
Companies of Canada John
Atkinson,

“Electricity is the single
most common cause of building
fires in the U.S. Electrical fires
(not including those started by
cooking equipment) resulted in
many thousands of dollars
worth of damage last year, “Mr.
Atkinson advises,

To curb this trend, All-

Spokane River Provides Scenic
Boat Ride for Expo '74 Visitors

Come to the Expo ‘74

to take a scenic ride up the
Spokane River from the fair-
grounds—in a boat.

Downstream, you'll be able
to take a scenic ride over
Spokane Falls—not ina boat. In
a gondola, suspended from a
cable over the river. °

You'll be able to do a lot of

other things too, of course— ~

these river excursions are just

a couple of examples of the
fair's many added attractions.

The excursion boats will
carry 80 passengers 1.7 miles
upstream to Gonzaga Univer-

The gondolas will carry
four passengers on a half-mile
round trip over the spectacular
falls, from the southeast corner
of the 100—acre fair site.
