survey forms were to be destroyed af-
ter results were compiled.

Kaufman said he is not a member of
the Professional Marketing Research
Society, a national 500-member organ-
ization with written rules of conduct.

While society rules allow research
survey clients to remain anonymous,
the rules clearly state: “Any statement
or assurance given to a respondent in
order to obtain co-operation shall be
factually correct and honored.”

IS SUSPECT

“Our code of standards would say
this (ICC approach) is suspect and mis-
leading,” the society's ethics and stan-
dards spokesman Joanne Tofani said in
an interview from Toronto.

NDP MLA Dennis Cocke, Opposition
ICBC critic, said he is concerned that
the insurance corporation may penalize
people who inadvertently admit to
being incorrectly rated.

In an interview earlier, McCarthy
said: “We're not short of money be
cause of this. The pot is always full. But
people with 01 (pleasure) rates driving
to work are paying too little while
other drivers are paying too much.”

The method used to obtain the infor-
mation was defended as “very common
practice” by David Kaufman, president
of the private survey company hired to
do the work.

But spokesmen for the Professional
Market Research Society, the B.C.
Civil Liberties Association and the
provincial New Democratic Party critic
for ICBC criticized the survey as mis-
leading, dishonorable and sneaky.
Kaufman said he designed the survey
questions to generate accurate, useful
information without violating any
ethical standards.

Responses to questions are coded to
prevent answers being traced to

“The temptation is too great not to
put those names on a hit list,” he said.

“There's got to be a better way than
using those tactics. A Crown corpor-
ation shouldn't sneak around to get
information.”

Cocke said he strongly advocates
insuranee premiums being based on the
actual distance driven by an insured.
Lower premiums for pleasure driving
do not always reflect the actual risk
involved.

Many drivers insured for pleasure
drive their vehicles twice as much as
the motorist who drives his car to work
and leaves it parked all day, he said.

McCarthy said that had the survey
been done, its main purpose would
have been to better describe the rating
problem to ICBC agents throughout
the province.

“But if we have to live with the re-
sults of the first survey, we'll do that,”
he said.

The 60 passengers and erew-of the Boeing 737, seized

BLAST OFF

PARIS (REUTER) — Europe's new Ariane 3 rocket,
a competitor of the U.S. space shuttle, successfully
blasted off Saturday from its jungle launching ground in
French Guiana on a mission to place two communications
satellites in orbit.

Spectators watching a live relay of the launch in
Parish saw the gleaming white rocket lift off from the
Kourou Space Centre on the north coast of South
America at 9:33 a.m. EDT, one hour and 29 minutes after
its scheduled launch time. 7

The rocket was the 10th launched in the Ariane

that groups all the European Community members
except Luxembourg and Greece, with the addition of
Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

SOVIET AEROBICS

MOSCOW (REUTER) — Soviet television bowed to
popular demand Saturday when it broadcast the first in a
series of classes on aerobics, the keep-fit exercises to pop
music that are popular in the West.

The Soviet news agency Tass said the weekly
85-minute program on Soviet television's second channel
came “in reaction to the rapidly swelling ranks of people
wishing to develop more shapely figures.”

People have exercised to music in the Soviet Union
— where aerobics is usually known as rhythmic gymnas
tics — since the 1950s, but the exercise has taken off only
in recent years, albeit with less speed than disco-backed
aerobics in the West.

CHANGES NAME

OUAGADOUGOU (REUTER) — The West African
country of Upper Volta has changed its name to Bourkina
Fasso, which in the language of the dominant Mossi tribe
means “land of upright men.” The change was announced
on the eve of the first anniversary of a coup that brought
radical military officers to power. Ouagadougou Radio,
commenting on the change, said the name Upper Volta
was imposed by the country’s former French rulers.

Candidates take trip

By CasNews Staff

Kootenay West federal
election candidates, Lyle
Kristiansen, Bob Brisco and
Jean Turnbull took to the
woods this week where they
had the opportunity to talk
with a Canada Works Project
crew and their concern that
the project will soon be end-
ing.

The trip was arranged by
some project workers doing
juvenile spacing north of
Salmo on the Castlegar-Sal.
mo summit.

The 18 workers, who are
assigned to juvenile spacing,
by taking out ill or deformed
trees, expressed their con
cern to the politicians that
the workers will be out of
work by October.

The project, one of three or
four projects in the area in
volving some 50 to 75 work
ers, was scheduled to be ter
minated nearly two years
ago, but was extended until
this September, says Ed
Haggan one of the project
workers.

“Nobody knows whether
we're going to get another
extension,” he says

He says the workers are
concerned because in Octo
ber they won't have a job.

All the workers on the
crew visited by the candi.
dates are under 25, some are
married, and some have been
out of a job since they fin
ished school, Haggan says.

“Once unemployment is
gone, we are on welfare,” he
said.

are worthwhile,” he said

NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. (CP) — Niagara Falls
MPA) MacBain, found guilty 6f sexual harassment by a
human rights tribunal, ie damaging the Liberal party and
will lose the riding for the party unless he steps down,
says the former MP who ran against MacBain for the
nomination.

“Look at what it’s doing t# the Liberal party,” said
Bill Andres, a former Liberal member in nearby Lincoln
riding who lost to MacBain for the July 26 nomination.

“People are saying: ‘Is that the best the Liberal
party can come up with? I don’t believe MacBain can get
elected.”

Andres’ demand that MacBain resign is the latest in
a series of allegations that the party wants to dump the
58-year-old MP as the Liberal candidate.

The party has been under pressure to get MacBain to
resign since a Canadian’ Human. Rights Commission
tribunal found that MatBain sexually harassed Kristina
Potapezyk, his former special assistant.

The party has no official power to force the resig.
nation, however, and Prime Minister Turner said the
matter should be left to the voters of Niagara Falls to
decide whether MacRain is fit for office.

She said that on June 5, 1983, she got her first call
from a woman speaking in Italian who called her a prosti

She also said that June 17, 1983, while leaving a local
