Teacher Marlane King and Sharon Glendinning of the District Parents Group will meet with MLA Chris D'Arey (NDP Rossland Trail), and hope to meet with NDP education critic Mark Rose, said King Tuesday. The position paper is “deal. ing with the fact the cuts have to stop — and even to restore the funding to the pre-restraint program.” “It’s probably a symbolic gesture, but I do want to stand up and be counted,” added King She says the move is part of a campaign against edu. cation funding cuts called Service Levy Lobby, organ ized by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the Defend Educational Services Coali tion (DESC). DESC is made up of interested non-teachers such as parents and unions, said King. “I don't think we're pre. paring children for the fu ture,” said King. “I don't even think they're getting a basic education.” WI holds meeting When Kinnaird Women's Institute met April 17 at the home of Sophie Janicki, 12 members and one guest were present.

Twenty-five volunteers installed 10 safety tie-up anchors in the lake Saturday. It took 12 hours for the tie-up anchors to be distributed by barge in creek mouths and other sheltered areas from Scotties Marina, near the Hugh Keenleyside Dam, about 40 kilometres upriver to Bowman Creek. The materials for the anchors were donated by Castlegar area businesses, Scotty Tait, owner of Scotties Marina, said Tuesday. Volunteers included participants from the West Kootenay Sailing Club, and the Castlegar branch of the Power Squadron, said Tait, who also helped distribute the anchors. The anchors — which use one metre lengths of logs for buoys — are located relatively close to shore, and are for boaters caught in wind storms. The rocky shores of the lake can make forced dockings dangerous, said Tait. “A storm can come up in 15 minutes, just like that,” he said. “If you don't have a place to go to, you can get in trouble.” Tait said the volunteers hope to put another 40 anchors in the lake before August, and install 12-metre docks to eight of the anchors, again using donated materials. The docks will lead to campsites with picnic tables and barbeque pits, which are also planned for this year. On Sunday some of the volunteers also cleared and burned driftwood debris which had accumulated at Cayuse Creek, said Tait. SAFETY A’ INCHORS . . .

MULRONEY DEFENDS WILSON OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney laced into reporters today for suggesting Finance Minister Michael Wilson may have been involved in a conflict of interest over the letting of a $234,000 advertising contract to a company with links to Wilson. Asked how he could excuse Wilson for an apparent breach of government conflict-of-interest guidelines, Mulroney retorted that reporters “seemed to be inclined to follow, quite frankly, a streak of malice in the Liberal party that I find unbecoming and. unjust. “To suggest that Michael Wilson, directly or indir. ectly, intentionally or inadvertently, to be guilty of a conflict of interest or a breach of trust is to do him a great disservice. “And I accept it not from the Liberals, nor from you,” he told CKO radio reporter Terry Boland. “In your case I say it with respect.” When Boland went on to suggest that the perceptiqn had been created that Wilson could be involved in a conflict of interest, Mulroney retorted: “That's the perception you think is there, the perception you are trying to create is there “But I guarantee you that the perception of Mr. Wilson in this country is one of an individual held in the highest regard.” REFERS TO LIBERAL In a reference to Liberal back-bencher John Nunziata, one of the government's most scathing critics, Mulroney said: “You know it's not because Mr. Nunziata says that something is wrong that people believe it's wrong.” “The Canadian people are quite capable of discerning and making mature judgements, and they have long since decided that Mr. Wilson is incorruptible; that he’s a man of unimpeachable integrity, and it's going to take a hell of a lot more then a bunch of discredited Grits to change their view of Mr. Wilson.” Asked about Mulroney's defence of Wilson, New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent said it reminded him of former Libera! prime minister Pierre Trudeau's defences of some of his ministers. “In some cases in the past, after a lot of probing, Liberal ministers finally ended up resigning.” Mulroney has been under attack in the Commons for the past two days over the letting of a Bank of Canada advertising contract to the Toronto firm Lawson Murray Ltd., partly owned by Wilson's brother-in-law and partly managed by the finance minster’s riding association president Liberal Leader John Turner charged Tuesday that Wilson had breached government conflict-of-interest guidelines put in place by previous Liberal governments when he allowed the contract to go ahead. Turner said there was preferential treatment for Wilson's brother-in-law, Doug Lawson, who is the company’s president, and Wilson's former aide and current riding association president, Doug Robson, a vice-president of Lawson Murray. The link between Wilson and Robson was reported last week by The Canadian Press, while the family ties between Wilson and Lawson were reported by the Toronto Star. Both the Liberals and New Democrats took up the matter in the Commons following the published reports. Mulroney and Supply Minister Harvie Andre have countered opposition charges by saying that Supply and Services officials, and not Wilson's department, deter. mined who got the contract and that Lawson Murray recommended cutting back on the ad campaign to save the government about $400,000 a year Wilson, under pressure from Liberal and New Democrat critics to reveal whether Robson had access to BANKRUPTCY SALE OF THE INVENTORY OF THE FORMER ROBINSON'S STORE CASTLEAIRD PLAZA EVERYTHING INAL 5 AT THE 5/2 Doors Close Forever Tues., April 30, 5:00 p.m. pare SE AYS OFF REG.
