Queen

VICTORIA (CP) — The
B.C. wine which will grace
the royal lunch tables of The

Private Reserve has been
coaxed from the Westbank
winemakers of Mission Hill
Vineyards to set before
Queen Elizabeth. .

Denis. Glew, president of
the German Wine Society,
tasted a sample of the wine
Friday.

“hope the Queen likes it,
because it’s not a.wine that
everybody likes,” he said. “A
good Gewurztraminer smells
like a farmyard dung heap.”’

After tasting it, ‘he said it

would consider to be a Gew-

The wine was given the
official nod two weeks ago by
the Queén’s Canadian secre-
tary Lawrie Wallace and Em-
press Hotel general manager
Ted .Balderson, said winery
agent Kathy Springer.

“It’s a great honor for us to
have the Queen drink this,’
said Springer. “The wine
masters have selected this
bottling as their own; they
weren’t going to release it to
the public.”

The 225 lunch guests are
expected to consume six to

CASTLEGAR NEWS, March 6, 1983

Cease fire called
in air fare war

Canada appears to have gain-
ed from the deal after the
U.S. government lifted a ban
against the flights in return
for Canadian concessions on
Pacific air travel.

The part of the pact dealing
with Pacific routes, which
would cut into CP Air's pass-
enger business between Can-
ada and Australia, is subject
to approval by Australia,
whose Quantas airline shares
that business.

Luc Pepin told an Ottawa
news. conference that the
agreement is an oral one
subject to ratification next
week,

He declined to reveal de-
tails of the agreement but
said the ‘Canada-A

Housing starts.

OTTAWA (CP) — Work in
the home-building industry

remained fairly brisk in Feb- .

ruary, Canada Mortgage and
Housing Crop. said Friday.

Housing starts for the
month were at a seasonally-
adjusted annual rate of 164,-
000 units, down a shede from
the January rate of 167,000,
the federal housing agency
said in a news release.

Mild weather in some parts
of the country this winter has
also allowed construction to
start earlier than usual.

At the same time, there is
doubt whether the pace of
building activity can continue
without more government in-
centives or a better over-all
economic climate.

Actual starts of singles in
cities rose 172 per cent from
one February. to the next.
Starts on multiples were down
59 per cent.

Lower mortgage rates and

homes -have increased the
demand for single-detached
homes in recent months.

home-buyers for the time
being. Many would-be buyers
now could be tempted to wait
until the economy improves.

Clayton's latest forecast is
for some 144,000 housing
starts in all of 1983. That's
‘somewhat better than the
125,860 ‘starts recorded in
1982, but well below the
200,000 or so units that would
be started in a good year.
