Diana hunts for foxes LONDON (REUTER) — Diana, the Princess of Wales, has angered conservationists by taking part in a foxhunt despite her long-held objec- tions to blood sports. Buckingham Palace has confirmed Diana rode to hounds for the first time March 14 with the Belvoir, one of Britain's most famous hunts in the foxthunting county of Lincolshire, east- ern England. A hunt spokesman said no fox was killed that day. The princess is a strong supporter of animal wildlife and was said to have tried to deter Prince Charles — who hunts regularly with the Bel- voir — from taking part in the;sport and from fishing af- ter their marriage in 1981. ‘A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said he was “shocked and disappoint- ed” by the hunt incident. REAL WOMEN BRUNT OF making jokes One woman T'm REAL.” “I'm a FAKE Woman” buttons are pinned on coats hanging outside the committee room where MPs question women’s groups about why Ottawa should continue to hand out $12 million a year under the Secretary of State's Department's women’s program. Some say FAKE stands for Feminists Alive and Kicking for Equality, others say it represents Feminists for All Kinds of Equality. ‘The uneasiness comes from the fact that the committee is dominated by Conservative backbench MPs who think REAL Women (Realistic, Equal, Active, for Life) should get a share of the funding. Officials who: turned the group down, opposition MPs, and many women's groups say REAL Women doesn’t qualify for funding because it doesn't meet the criteria of working toward equalify for women. They don't want the criteria changed to allow REAL Women to get any funding. The group was formed in 1983 and has politiely lobbied MPs with pink-iced cupcakes and pink brochures spelling out their opposition to including women in the Charter of Rights and to equal pay for work of equal value. They support traditional family values, such as women staying at home to raise children, and they don't think the majority of women are treated unequally. Now REAL Women is playing hard ball. They've declared war on the “radical feminists” who allegedly dominate the Secretary of State Department and denied them funding. Their newsletter, printed on pink paper with the slogan “Women's rights but not at the expense of human rights,” is peppered with boxed paragraphs urging members to write their MPs to protest abortion on demand, homosexual rights and legalized prostitution. This year when they lobbied MPs, a REAL Woman representative placeda rubber fetus in Liberal Lucie Pepin’s hand. ‘The stunt was repeated again when she shook hands with REAL Women members after another meeting in the fall, said Pepin. Gwen Landolt, founder of REAL Women, said as far as she knows the incidents didn’t happen. Pepin, New Democrat MP Margaret Mitchell and many women’s groups testifying before the committee say they welcome the inspection of the women’s program. It gives them the chance to show MPs that women are still economically and socially disadvantaged compared to men and that women’s groups need funding to continue their fight for equality. However, they admit there's the danger the Tory MPs will recommend the government open the program to all women’s groups '— sach as social and sport groups and those not seen to be working for equality for women. No matter what the committee recommends, the final decision will rest with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Landolt said. He and Barbara McDougall, minister responsible for the status of women, have said many times that women’s groups need government support to help them attain full equality. Secretary of State David Crombie, who made the final decision to deny REAL Women funding, is conducting his own investigation of the women’s program. ‘retirement program, But IBM has no plans to sacrifice its policy of full employment, a practice dating back to the parent's founder, Thomas Watson Sr. ‘ zing, sending Instead, it is mp! back to school to learn new skills and moving others out of head office and into branches across the country, to be closer to the’ customer.

On Saturday there will be a dance at the Robson Hall. The following weekend, on ‘April 4 the Society will host a club activity day. Community clubs have been invited to put on displays of their ac- tivities and supply member- ship information. This is a family-oriented event, with something of Tax shelter drives boom By SHAWN McCARTHY Press The warm northern sun is turning snow-packed- work areas into quagmires and mineral exploration crews are windirig down the busiest winter drilling season in memory. ‘The weary drillers have been going full tilt since last fall, as their companies fretted about the possible end to flow-through i the I d i that has funded one of the biggest exploration booms in Canadian mining history. . Investors have obviously taken a shine to the flow-through shares, in which companies pass along to iduals tax i ling $1.33 for every dollar invested. Though the issues. themselves are often quite risky, people can use their tax savings to help buy shares in a mining company, often one that is searching for gold. In 1986, investors poured an estimated $500 million into flow-throughs; this year, analysts say, the figure has already hit $700 million and some are predicting it will top $1 billion. One company, Vancouver-based National Investors Management Co. Ltd., pooled 132 companies in a sort of mutual fund and sold a $193-million offering of flow-through shares in four months. CREATES JOBS For the otherwise-depressed mining industry, the tax advantage has been a godsend since being implemented in 1983, creating jobs in areas of typically high unemployment. “You'd be hard pressed to find a drill sitting idle and if it is, it's because there’s nobody to run it,” said Max Matt, manager of the 2,000-member Canadian Diamond Drillers Association in North Bay, Ont. He added that the 500 drills boring for minerals this winter were the most-ever. “All at once, everybody wants work done and they want it done yesterday.” Festival gets grant tivities along with artistic of- ferings,” said Van Horne. The Festival at Sandpoint Idaho has received another interest to both young and old. It is free to the public and will run from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Coffee and a light lunch will be sold from the kitchen. Participating clubs are: Selkirk Weavers Guild, Sel- kirk Rock and Mineral Club, David Thompson Stamp Club, Robson River Otters Kokanee Rock Club, 4-H Club, Girl Guides, Brownies, Scouts, Cubs, Dewdney Rock and Gem Club, Beaver Valley Amateur Radio Club, Robson School Science Projects, and the Robson Volunteer Fire Department. On May 17 Robson Recre- ation Society is planning a fishing derby with shore fishing only from the ferry to the dam on the Robson side of the Columbia River. Weigh-ins would be at the Robson Hall. This event is open to everyone.

WITH SCOTT DIXON, BC BUSINESS major grant in its current drive for debt-free self-suffi- ciency, Festival President Joe Skubi announced. The grant award, in the amount of $10,000, came from the St. Paul, Minnesota-based Northwest Area Foundation. Written by current Festi. val board member and for- mer Festival Executive Dir- ector Sydne Van Horne, the grant request asked for sup- port for the Sandpoint or- ganization's performance schedule to orchestra con- certs and chamber music. The Foundation was asked to assist the Festival's na- tionally known training pro- grams for conductors, cham- ber musicians, and artists- in-residence. The training programs, which have been led by internationally known artists, are directed by Gun- ther Schuller, artistic dir- ector of the Festival at Sand- point. The grant application, sub- mitted during the spring of 1986 by Van Horne, also took note of the Festival's im- portant part in the summer economy of the northern Idaho town. “The Festival is leading to an economy that serves a growing population of visi- tors seeking recreational ac- Robson Community Memorial Church General Meeting Wednesday, March 25 7:00 P.M.

Wilson has, said his package will cut and into Saskatchewan, making it “the largest investor- owned regional carrier in Canada,” the announcement said. The purchase will also give Time Air its first scheduled Barton said the acquisition will increase Time Ajr’s an- nual revenue by some $200] million — a 42-per-cent in- crease from its current anti- cipated revenue of $47 mil- lion. Time Air operates sched- uled service to 19 com- exemptions and lower the overall tax rate. The flow throughs are one of costliest tax breaks, depriving the federal government of about $345 million in revenue last year. “If the government just ends the flow throughs, period, you would see the immediate collapse of the exploration industry,” said George Miller, head of the Ottawa-based Mining Association of Canada. “Tt wouldn't affect the producing mines but 10 years from now, the rate of mining openings would fall off dramatically.” Miller estimates that about 12 new mines will open between now and 1990 as a result of flow-through financing. SEES DECLINE His association told the Commons finance committee earlier this year that the market for flow throughs will likely decline as the senior mining companies begin making money and using the tax deductions themselves., A study by University of Toronto finance professor Basil Kalymon supports that view. As the industry revives, Kalymon argues, the larger, producing companies will use the tax breaks themselves, leaving the flow-through field to the juniors. But as the number of junior companies issuing shares incrase, so does the risk to the investor. With a junior company, an investor can lose everything if the exploration program is a dud because the shares become virtually worthless. ies including Castlegar and recently filed an appli- cation with the transport commission for a trans border service to Great Falls, Mont.

He will join the Festival's staff full-time in mid-May upon termination of his contract with the Arizona University. “While such grants as that from the Northwest Area Foundation will not com- pletely solve the Festival's continuing financial prob- lems,” Hunt said by tele- phone from Flagstaff, “they certainly suggest continuing confidence in the Festival's board of directors, staff and artistic excellence. Since this Foundation grant arrived in the Festival office during my first day there, I will re- member it for a long time as a herbinger of good things to come.” : DE-REGULATION A Seminar on De-Regulation and “Free Trade” Canadian Labor Congress Western Regional Education Director LARRY WIDEN Selkirk College Saturday, March 28 Registration 9:30 a.m. Seminar Sessions 10.a.m. -4p.m. Room K 10 OPEN TO PUBLIC CONTACT JOE IRVING 365-7575 or 365-7111 YOO a a JT NT Ke MALLARD’S SERVING UP YOUR TENNIS NEEDS! \ KNEISSL AERO \ 829: 82 KNEISSL MID N Reguior $170.
