Highlighting the day-long meeting at Castlegar were forestry concerns, the Val- halla Park proposal, the B.C. Mining School at Rossland, Castlegar Airport improve- ments and increased access for women to education and industrial employment. The threat of forestry jobs being lost or moved through continued centralization in lumbering was the focus of the council's morning session. A number of detailed rec- ommendations were agreed upon to guide the Kristiansen and MLAs Chris D'Arcy (Rossland-Trail) and Lorne Nicolson (Nelson-Creston) in ing this ti erly planting and harvesting trees and for the forest ser- vice to create a special office to advise on and promote private wood-lot tree farm- ing. In part to create more jobs from the forest base of the region, the council recom- mended action to encourage g plant for elec- tric power generation. D'Arcy, Opposition energy critic, praised the idea as workable and economic, but said government policy to sell electrical energy to in- dustry at only 35 per cent of house-hold rates presently works against such a project and in fact discourages en- ergy self-reliance by indus- try. He went on to outline pos- Munro suggests holding payments NELSON (CP) — Cana- dians should consider with- holding rent and mortgage for one month if “A presentation by the Val- halla Wilderness Society sparked an extensive discus- sion and led to a interest rates do not fall to an affordable level, says Jack Munro, regional president of the between industry and park advocates that forestry jobs are not the only concern when establishment of the proposed park is considered. It was agreed that any po- tential job loss is probably ers of America. “We could get so many people not paying their mort- gages and rent that the traditional responses of the banks and landlords would be both small and indefinite, not only in numbers, but also as regards when, if ever, the ef- fect would be felt in the Slocan Valley industry. At present there is no logging in the proposed park west of Slocan Lake. Kristiansen created a mul- ti-discipline committee, in- cluding representatives of the IWA and the Wilderness Society, which will try to reach agreement on how th park proposal should be met — hopefully leading to agree- ment over what should be done. The IWA will be repre- sented by Local 1-405 Pres- ident Wayne Nowlin, and the Wilderness Society by Col- leen McCrory. Other commit- tee members will be Michael Jessen of SPEC, Slocan Vil- lage Mayor Dave Barclay and Alex Strebchuck of Hills, an independent logger and pros- pector. The advisory council ac- knowledged the severe threat to sawmilling jobs in small communities. It agreed that the Arrow Timber Sup- ply Area should probably be reduced in size to guarantee log supplies for mills in Salmo and Slocan. The recent sale of Hadikin Sawmill in Brilliant, with its timber quota being the prime item of value, to Atco LUm- ber of Fruitvale, was cited as an example of alrge TSAs al- lowing jobs to move un- announced from one com- munity to another, and losing many in the transfer. William useless,” Munro told a pro- test rally. He said he would ask the executive committee of the Canadian Labor Congress at its Dec. 7 meeting to consider launching such ‘a move. Munro also called for the nationalization of key banks. He said several months ago he was not convinced that drastic action was necessary. “But I am now convinced and many, many responsible Canadian labor people are, too.” s’ win a psychological blow CROSBY, ENGLAND (AP) — Shirley Williams, co- founder of Britain’s new So- cial Democratic party, said her landslide victory Thurs- day in a parliamentary by- election is the beginning of the end of Conservative- Labor domination of British politics. “The election of the first Social Democratic party can- didate ever in this country is the beginning of a great moment of history — an idea that has found its time,” the former Labor cabinet minis- ter told wildly cheering sup- porters after she won the Crosby seat in the House of Commons that the Conser- vatives had held for 63 years. “The mould of British pol- ities has been totally broken.

Liberal MP Ken Robinson of the Metropolitan Toronto riding of i ‘Lake- This trend can be to continue, members warned. To provide public debate and forestall future closures, the advisory council asked that Kristiansen, D'Arcy and Nicolson urge the province to prohibit future timber quota transfers without first hold- ing public hearings on relo- cation of any displaced work- force.

It is an at- tempt to find a democratic alternative to... the grow- ing extremism of politics in Britain.” Williams, 51, becomes the new party's 24th member of Parliament and the 935th member of the centrist alli- ance of Social Democrats and Liberals. All the other Social Democrats were elected un- der the Labor or Conserva- tive banners and defected af- ter Williams and three others formed the new party last March. Williams defeated Conser- vative candidate John But- cher, 89, by 5,289 votes in this northwestern constitu- ency outside Liverpoo) that elected a Conservative in 1979 by a 19,272-vote margin. It was the largest byelection reversal since the Second World War. The left-wing Labor can- didate, John Backhouse, 28, received only 9.5 per cent of the vote. Voters deserted both the Conservatives and Labor in favor of the new centrist movement. Williams cap- tured 25.5 per cent of the Conservative vote and 24.9 per cent of the Labor vote. | The election result did not sible electrical rate and gov- ernment tax structure changes which would en- courage power generation from waste and even small streams while not discourag- ing industrial development. Turning to concern about the recent closure of the B.C. Mining School at Rossland, the advisory council decided to bolster the efforts of former Rossland Mayor Harry Lefevre, who saw Education Minister Brian Smith in Victoria Tuesday. The council drafted a letter of support and called on th government to reopen the mining and heavy equipment. school, which has provided training to some 1200 - 1500 students, including many high school dropouts. On issues of particular concern to women, Kristian- sen’s group agreed to write Selkirk College commending it for reinstating its Women’s Access Program, and encour- aging the establishment of a women’s pre-apprentiseship trades course. Kristiansen's advisory council, the only one of its kind in Canada, has members from a wide cross-section of interests in Kootenay West. Cominco executives sit jointly with union leaders, local mayors and community group representatives who would otherwise not come together to discuss regional concerns. All recommendations of the advisory council, which was attended by some 20 members from throughout Kootenay West, were achieved by consensus and without dissenting vote. Summing up his feelings about the meeting, Kristi- ansen said, “When a broadly- based, multi-partisan and multi-interest group like this can unanimously agree on so many subjects of regional concern, it must mean that we are doing something right.” It was a positive, con- structive and successful pro- cess. The next step is to get the results.” Program disappointing VICTORIA (CP) — ‘B.C.

Named in the suit are Raymond Collingwood of Tel- kwa, B.C., guides Thomas Britton and Douglas Camp- bell, both of Smithers, B.C., and two unnamed guides, also of Smithers.

Best investment is still a home TORONTO (CP) — Buying a house is still the best long-term investment you can make, says Lyman Mac- Innis, a partner with Touche Ross and Co. of Toronto. The proposed changes in the federal budget only affect gowns and carrying lace-trimmed parasols. Best man was Mr. Lloyd Katelnikoff and usher was Mr. Ron Osachoff. Pink, burgundy and white were the theme colors used in'the decor of the banquet room of the Castl and District C Complex where the reception was held. Masters of ceremonies were the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Voykin of Pass Creek. The bridal toast was proposed by the bride’s uncle, Mr. Nick Borisenkoff of Grand Forks. i, Mr. and Mrs. Sbitney are making their home in Thrums. second for couples after Jan. 1, 1982, he told a seminar sponsored by the Toronto Real Estate Board. He gave as an example a couple now owning two res- idences — say, a house and a cottage. If they. sell one of them in 1985 and the second in 1989, they will have to pay tax only on the amount the second one appreciated be- tween 1981 and 1986, during the post-1981 period in which they owned both properties. Home ownership, for most people “is the biggest invest- ment they will ever make,” he said. It. is im t to re- member, then, that it is the only investment on which you can make money in this country and — usually — not have to pay tax on the gain, he said. An while “it may not be the perfect hedge against inflation, it is certainly the best long-term hedge.” People tend’ ‘to. overlook the fact that in addition to being a good investment, home ownership also offers the highest utilitarian value and the greatest enjoyment of any he said.‘It The November meeting of the Slocan Valley Women's Institute began with a pres- entation by guest speaker, Keith Kessler, recently-app- ointed director of area 9 of the Kootenay Boundary Vis- itors’ Association.

Reports suggests no difference in fuel costs A B.C. government report has suggested that the cost differences between gasoline and alternative fuels (natural gas, propane, and alcohol fuels) for road transport uses are relatively small and it is expected that by 1990 the cost differences will be even less. This is the main conclusion >Canadiai n ae the Ministry of Mines and yeaa "Re sources. The report asscenes, athe impact.and market of natural gas paca and liquified), propane, and alcohol fuels such as metha- nol as alternative fuels for road transportation in B.C. Three main factors were looked at in the study: fuel production cost; the infras- tructure development cost to deliver the fuel to the con- sumer (such as pumps at gas stations); and the cost of nec- essary vehicle conversion to enable engines that now use gasoline to run on other fuels. The small range in oper- ating costs (in 1990 fuel prices) for personal use auto- mobiles with the various fuels indicates that none of the alternative fuels has a clear long term economic ad- vantage. However the availability and the rate at which these alternatives could be devel- oped, prevents any of them making a significant contri- bution to energy demand for s transport in the short term. |, = In fleet operations, sich'as taxis and courier s¢rvice,, * compressed natural gas ap, pears to be the most inex? °° > pensive alternative. 4 Finds that old kidney can do job A 15-year-old kidney has helped a renal transplant pa- tient through her second pregnancy, says a report in The Medical Post, a Canadian publication for doctors. The kidney, donated by the patient's mother, went through one pregnancy when it was 69 years old and now, in its 76th year has just completed another successful pregnancy. Pregnancy places a heavy load on the kidneys and it has generally been believed that an old kidney simply could _,, not do the job.
