ie where 600 sawmill workers,
members of the Pulp, Paper and

employees perform wotk normally
done by CPU members. ‘

“The company chose to ignore this
and it's hard to feel sorry for them,” he
said. “We're not trying to dump on the
IWA.”

Gunderson said the proposed agree-
ment was unacceptable because it
would have prevented supervisors
from doing work in the pulp mill.

He also said the board's decision may
result in layoffs for about 150 indepen-
dent loggers who have no place to
deliver logs.

Meanwhile, more B.C. Rail
employees have been laid off in the
Prince George area because of the pulp
and paper lockout.

About 38 of the 50 laid-off employees
are from Prince George, said company
spokesman Jerry Collins.

“The reason Prince George has been
hit the hardest is because the move-
ment of wood chips has dried up. The
same goes with the movement of pulp
making chemicals.”

Meanwhile, Canadian Paperworkers
Union locals are scheduled to meet
Monday and negotiations with the
industry could resume next week.

The 20 pulp and paper mills in B.C.
locked out their 12,700 workers after
the two sides could not agree on a new
contract. The other forest union in the
province, the 40,000-member IWA, has
ratified a new agreement with the
forest industry.

Lockout has its benefits

FREDERICTON (CP) —
The lockout of 12,700 pulp
and paper workers in British
Columbia may benefit the
Maritime forest industry and
its workers, officials said
Friday.

While an industry spokes-
man looked forward to in-
creased prices because of the
lockout, a union official said
the dispute could provide
forestry workers with a
strong bargaining tool in
negotiations with pulp com-
panies.

Tony Rumbolt, executive
director of the Maritime
Lumber Bureau, said the
lockout, which begn last
week at 20 pulp and paper

mills, is just what Maritime
lumber producers need to
drive up depressed prices.
Maritime producers are
selling their product at 1982
prices, but if the lockout con-
tinues, prices will begin
rising within two weeks,

Rombolt said.

Paul Young, a spokesman
for the Canadian Paperwork-
ers Union in New Brunswick
said woodsmen will probably
hold out for a one-year con-
tract in negotiations this year
so their contract can expire

simultaneously with the B.C.
agreement.

The locked-out workers
have been without a contract
since June 30, 1983, and are
seeking a two-year deal
which, if retroactive, would
expire in June 1985.

New
bed in

use

The Castlegar Branch of
the Royal Canadian Legion
has donated more than $7,000
towards the purchase of a
birthing bed at Castlegar and
District Hospital.

The Legion donated $7,620
towards the $10,500 purchase
price of a Adele birthing bed
now in use at the hospital.
The rest of the money came
from government grants.

Dr. Ron Perrier says the
new bed has added several
options to the obstetric ex-
perience at the hospital.

“We have placed the bed in
our new birthing room so
that women can now labor in
separate rooms in a home-
like atmosphere,” he said.

“They can now labor and

deliver in the same bed
without the need to be
moved.”

The bed is motorized with
a hand control allowing an al-
most infinite variety of posi-
tions from sitting to lying
flat. The head can be lowered
below horizontal if needed. It
is also equipped with a
squatting bar.

The options include a labor
chair or bed,’a birthing bed, a
birthing chair with foot rests,
a delivery table with stir,
rups,.a delivery bed with lift
lateral position and a critical
care bed in case of emer-
gencies.

“Since its arrival, all but
one delivery has used the
bed,” Perrier said. “Most
women have found the bed a
big improvement over our
old delivery table.”

Space shuttle lands

CAPE CANAVERAL,
FLA. (AP) — With “a dream
of a touchdown,” Challenger
wound up a flight of high
drama and deep disappoint-
ment Saturday, landing for
the first time at its Florida
home port so it can return to
space more quickly.

“We've been wanting for a
long time to be the first to
land at America’s spaceport,”
said commander Vance
Brand, who guided the shut.
tle to a textbook landing on
the Kennedy Space Centre
runway.

It was a perfect end to an
imperfect flight. Two satel
lites launched from the shut-
tle failed to rise to a usable
orbit, and a tracking balloon
burst before it could be used.
But Flight 10 also saw the

down at 5 p.m. Castlegar

ico. Each then required a
cross-country piggy-back
flight on a jumbo jet that cost
up to eight days in “turn-

around time.”

With a landing here, the
shuttle needed only to be
towed eight kilometres to the
building where it’ undergoes
repair and refurbishment.
Agency officials confidently
predicted an April 4 launch-
ing for the next mission, the
shortest turnaround yet.

“We have been trying for a
long time to get this vehicle
back into Kennedy and this of

course marks an all-time first
— that we have launched and
landed at the same place,”
said NASA administrator
James Beggs. “No one has
done that before anywhere in
the world.”

precision from the shuttle

malfunctions in their attach-
ed rocket stages.

QUERIES FEDS

ON FO

OTTAWA (CP) — Lack of
a federal-provincial forestry
agreement does not prevent
British Columbia from
spending more of its own
money on forest renewal,
says Finance Minister Marc
Lalonde, who questioned Fri
day why this was not being
done.

“The forest and Crown
land belongs to the provincial
government,” he told the
Commons. “Since it is their
forests and their resources,
why don't they go ahead and
spend more?”

Statistics provided by the
Council of Forest Industries
show the provincial govern.
ment controls 94 per cent of
forest land in British Colum.
bia, while the federal gov
ernment controls one per
cent.

Lalonde was responding to
a question by New Demo-
cratic Party MP Lyle Kris
tiansen,-member for the B.C.
riding of Kootenay West.

Kristiansen asked whether
federal monies allocated for
forest renewal this year, but
not spent because of the lack
of an agreement, will be
added to next year's alloca-
tion.

Earlier this week in Van.
couver, federal and provin
cial officials announced they
had failed to reach a new for-
estry agreement, but were
hoping to extend an existing

one due to expire at the end’
of March.

Under the agreement, each
government would spend $5
million on forest renewal
programs.

Kristiansen asked for La.
londe's assurance Friday that
the $5 million will be avail-
able for another year. La-
londe would not answer the
question directly, saying he
would refer it to Environ.
ment Minister Charles Caccia
who is responsible for for-
estry.

He added that Caccia is
trying to sign agreements
with all the provinces on a
program announced 18
months ago under which the
federal government commit:
ted $130 million a year for
five years to forest renewal.

The money was to be div.
ided among the 10 provinces,
with provincial treasuries
matching the federal money
after signing agreements on
how it would be spent.

Negotiations bogged down
and agreements have only
been signed with Nova
Scotia, Prince Edward Island
and Manitoba, but not with
the three big forest provinces
— British Columbia, Quebec
and Ontario.

British Columbia, where
forestry is the No. 1 industry,
was expected to get 40 per
cent of the annual $130
million.

work expedition helping out the Nicar-
aguans.

In an interview before she left last
Monday, Mackenzie, 30, outlined exact-
ly why she was going to the Central
American country and what she would
be doing there.

She explained that the expedition —

or “brigade” — is made up of B.C.
residents sympathetic to the Nicara-
guan plight.

The group is sponsored by the B.C.
Nicaragua Solidarity Committee which
had received an invitation from the
Nicaraguan agricultural unions to help
harvest the winter cotton and coffee
crops.

Mackenzie says the country is per-
petually short of laborers and with the
recent border clashes with the Hon-
duras, the Nicaraguan unions are in
need of help more than ever.

“We'll be picking cotton,” Mack
said.

“T've never picked cotton before,”

tour were given an orientation session

to pick cotton — “with all the pointers
they could think of,” says Mackenzie.

An unemployed apprentice cabinet-
maker, Mackenzie says she wasn't ac-
tively involved in the B.C. Nicaragua
Solidarity Committee, but was in
formed of the brigade's trip by Ann
Holden of Castlegar.

“I'm really interested in what's going
on in Nicaragua,” says MacKenzie. “To
rebuild the country is exciting.”

She is referring of course to the
change in government which came
about in 1979 when president Anas-
tasio Somosa resigned and fled into
exile.

Mackenzie says she is also “more
comfortable” visiting the country as a
setton picker than on a scheduled tour.

She says it will give her a chance to
really get to know the Nicaraguan
people.

Asked if she isn't a little appre-
hensive about the trip in light of recent

probably in about a month, Mrs, Reid told a news conference
Friday.
# Mrs. Reid, 32, and her husband John, 35, of Vernon, had
not intended to allow their namés or details about the birth
to be released but after news of the nature of the birth
leaked out in Vernon a news conference was hastily called.
The baby has no medical problems except that he is
small, as most premature babies are, she said.

FEAR PUBLICITY

Mrs. Reid said the baby is fine but she and her husband,
who was not at the news conference, are worried about the
publicity.

“We're hoping by holding this press conference you'll be
satisfied and go away,” she told reporters.

“We don't want him to be different than any other
baby. Children are cruel. When you go to school anyone who
stands out gets teased.”

But Dr. Victor Gomel, head of the in vitro projeet at the
university said: “There will be such a volume of babies born
in this way in-a few years you won't be able to single them
out anymore.”

The university's in vitro fertilization project began in
1982, four years after Louise Brown, the world’s first
“test-tube baby” was born in England. Since that time more
than 150 in vitro babies have been born in the world,

The B.C. team has tried the process on about 30 other

Asked if there were any other women pregnant by the

at this time”
