The project is an 88-week study of smoke dispersion con- ditions in the ‘Trail area, according to Ron Brown, super- visor of waste control. In- formation gathered over the 88 weeks may enable the com- pany's computer centre down- town to predict dispersion con- ditions 24 hours in advance. “Improved smoke control is our aim,” he said. “Take our weekly maintenance shutdown at the smelter, for example, It usually occurs every Thursday, ; but if we knew in advance that ; there would be stagnant atmos- i pheric Wednesd: He sald a computerized crystal ball for weather would also help regulate other parts of the company's operations in Trail. “In the past, we've only been able to react to general weather conditions,” he said, “An accurate 24-hour predic- tion would allow us to antici- pate poor atmospheric condi- tions and curtail some opera- tions before we approached ambient air limits for effluents such as sulphur dioxide.” Mr. Brown said the $130,- 000 project will be carried out in consultation with Meteor- ological and Environmental Planning Ltd., of Toronto, A five-member team from that company is to arrive later this week to begin a nine-day we might be able to reschedule ; the shutdown.” Jay Daniels Gives Address At Banquet Jay Daniels was killed ina head-on collision, One-and-a- half hours later the mortician noticed a quiver of flesh just as he was prep: to embalm itoring session, the first of three such sessions scheduled for 1977. “They'll also train Cominco technicians to carry out daily tests,” he said. He added that weather balloons will become a common sight in and around Trail. “These balloons will in- dicate temperature, wind veloc- ity and wind direction at various elevations. The in- formation gathered will be used to set up and test various models of di him.

Somebody asked me what I thougl One Man’ Opin fon © By Fred Merriman ht about the federal maximum security prison idea, 2 It was Murray Little, I think, My answer was YES. My decision was reached after listening to Gordon Brady stick his neck out knowing full well he would get the public opinion raspberry. I telephoned Brady and said “good for you.” Thave always been for the underdog and I can’t think of anybody lower on the totem." pole than some emotionally ill maximum security type criminal. I would not vote “yes” because it would bring us more business or a few conditions- attached federal grants. The critics are right when they say most of the staff hired at the proposed prison would be experts from far afield. Most importantly, I would vote yes because I think most of the people in Castlegar are fully capable of accepting even the “unbeautiful.” However, (and please notice how smoothly I get out of this political hotbox), if some other town wants these people and needs the business then let them have the “pen.” If had my way and had the power to do so I would uncover the personal dossier of each and every prisoner until I found out why he committed the crime in the first place. Most prisoners seem to think they are innocent or are a victim of circumstances: It could well be that maybe you and I'are the reason these unfortunate human beings end up behind bars, ‘It was cruel to think about it but one critic amused me when he suggested the prison could be built in the far north. He claimed guards would be unnecessary and I have to agree it would be rather difficult hiking across the frozen wastes in your’ Stanfields, Ido take to the of the process, even though the intention was well meant when a straw vote was taken by the Castlegar News. The questionnaire was designed in such a way that it gave ample room for the objectors and barely space to wriie a one word. reply for the assenters. Finally, 117 replies from a circulation in the thousands would indicate almost blanket acceptance of the prison idea because “no opinion” is taken in our weak system of democracy as acceptance or at very least: “It doesn’t make much difference to me one way or the other.” Leave it to the agitators and the government experts, What will be will be. It's not apathy. It's just not convenient to vote. We are all too busy. That is why I am writing this one man's opinion column at 1 a.m. It is the only spare time I can muster.
