"A full house in Nakusp or Grand Forks doesn't mean it would be a viable economic venture.” Stressing the educational aspect of such tours, Baker said his department tries to get cultural events to as many people as possible through a wide range of community offer- ings. ‘The college council ap- proved the policy after deleting from the original proposal a reference to “specific groups” of citizens who would benefit from the college's support of the cultural activities. Anderson told the council that his administration has discretionary use of community education funds and as long as the council felt the Theatre Energy offer was the type of project it could support, there should be no problem in finding the necessary money, KISS Si utes Voice of the People: | ude : Latest Unemployment ‘Sup ports Artistic Events Forecast has Bright Spot provides the only istentsd spol in the latest fore- cast of Canadian unemployment levels in 1978, The Conference Board in Canada predicted last week that the jobless rate—currently Entertained By Kinnaird Girl Guides A social afternoon of card games followed by a chicken supper, was enjoyed by 60 Castlegar and District Senior Citizens in their Centre on Thursday of last weck.

It will rise in seven pro- vinces and remain steady in Ontario and Nova Scotia, In December there were 93,000 persons out of work in B.C.—a rate of eight per cent— and the 12-month average was 8.5 per cent. The conference board predicts the rate will drop to 84 per cent this year. The board, a private, non- profit forecasting agency, also said the decline in the un- employment rate will be accom- panied by an increase in B.C.'s economic growth rate, It will rise from 3.8 per cent in 1977 to 4.8 per cent this year, the board predicts, Growth is not expected for the key forestry and mining sectors of B.C.'s economy but ° there is sufficient strength in other sectors to provide for the over-all growth increase, the conference board predicted. Nationally the board pre- dicts a growth rate of 4.7 per cent in 1978, compared with 2.9 per cent last year. nic Fy ents mre ee ress Views The fallowine Lattors tn nhgort haonien Bridge on.

I am a student of KJSS and am being told to come toa school full of sick people. We shouldn't even call it a school anymore, because there are not enough students to be taught. Students are just sit- ting, and not going ahead in education, for if we did, the sick student would be left behind. Iam not angry at or with the school board for not closing the schools.

KJSS should not be open because today, there were only 255 students here out of 420. In some of my classes, there's only 12 or 15 people out of 80 and it's getting worse. The principal can hardly find enough substitute teachers for some of the classes and if he does, they can’t teach us a proper lesson because there's not enough students here.

I think that if the schools are closed then the other students won't be affected by the epidemic that is spreading from one person to another. For instance, at KJSS there are 196 students missing today. If we must go on like this, soon everybody in. the school will have it.
