They want to know how old, how tall, what their father does, where they live, the scope of their education, what their plans are for the future, and how they feel about children. I don't care about any of those things. All 1 want to know is, “Is he or she a local call or a toll?” I don't remember names or faces of old flames. All ! remember s their area code.

Yow have an opportunity to meet them, if only briefly. There will be a general meeting at 8 p.m., and also an informal reception at 6:45 pm. If you can’t make the gen- eral meeting, you are invited to drop in, even for just a few minutes, between 6:45 and 7:45. Both events will be at the Castlegar United Church, 2224 Sixth Avenue. Mrs. Lina Boklus from Port Moresby, Papua, New Guinea, and Mrs. Iko Carter of Tokyo, Japan, are repre- senting one of the concerns of Pacific Rim countries, that of the use of the Pacific area for nuclear testing and dumping.

New drivers must com- plete two, one year periods free of suspension for traffic violations before the pro- bationary status is removed, but the actual licence cer- tificate is identical to that carried by other drivers. A 30 day suspension fol- lows the accumulation of six demerit points, so new dri- vers will need to be very careful and attentive. Should suspension occur, the two year period starts all over again, although previous demerit points revert to zero. going is about the only activity allowed. The Netherlands’ once- strict blue laws have become a patchwork of local rules that put tolerant, up-to-the- minute Amsterdam in sharp contrast with the “Bible Belt” of rural Holland, where cen- turics-old Calvinist and Ro- man Catholic taboos still reign. The change reflects the dramatic transformation of Dutch society from a strict religious nation to a diverse country with some of Eur- ope's wildest nightlife. A city-bred Dutchman re- calls that a neighbor interr- upted him as he was doing laws work on a Sunday after- noon soon after he moved toa new home in a village south of Rotterdam. “My advice to you is that the only thing you should do around here on Sundays is paint the back of your house — with a very quiet brush,” the neighbor suggested. OLD LAW MODIFIED The seed for change was planted by the 1953 National Sunday Observance Act, which modified a law in effect since the Netherlands be- came a monarchy in 1815. The amendments gave mun- icipal authorities wide dis- cretion in enforcing Sunday restrictions. Rather then trying to “secure the obligatory obser- vance of the Lord’s Day and other days dedicated to pub- lic Christian worship,” the revised statute merely says authorities should “try to eliminate any impediment to undisturbed worship on Sun- day.” It leaves out the “obligatory.” In this metropolis, the byword became tolerance. “We're not that strict,” City Hall spokesman Wim van Leeuwen says. “Amster- dam is a very worldly city.” Many shops, theatres and other centres of worldliness are open on Sundays in Amsterdam, while their rural counterparts remain shutt- ered. The manager of a sex show in the city's red-light district said operating the show on 8 Sunday morning “is the one thing police would probably object to.” “There isn't much interest on a Sunday morning any- way, so the girls get some time off, but otherwise it’s, business as usual. We keep the pinball machines going | and nobody seems to mind.” NEW IN TOWN? LET US PUT OUT THE MAT FOR YOU! a les Famoes Rant the Wont” §. STRELAEFF ‘365-5246 J.HARDY 365-3842 Attention Men & Boys!

Winning multi-million dollar war By Madelaine Drohan VANCOUVER (CP) — The B.C. environment ministry has waged a 10-year, multi- million-dollar war’ against the tenacious water weed Eurasian milfoil, and the weed has won. : The government tried pois- oning it with chemicals, chop- ping it up, cutting it down and ‘pulling it out. Nothing worked, for long. The much-maligned weed is still growing in profusion in the Okanagan Valley, and is slowly spreading to other lakes. An infestation was found this summer in one lake in the Champion Lakes chain, and was recently treated with a 2-4D compound, The latest infestation was discovered this week in three areas totalling one hectare in Shuswap Lake near Kam- loops. The weed was con- centrated at boat ramps which officials said indicated how it has spread. Forced to revise its orig- inal claim that eradication was possible, the govern- ment now says there is no permanent solution and is winding down its program. Ministry official Dr. Peter Newroth, a one-time propon- ent of eradication, ‘says the best his branch can do is control the plant in specific areas, The government is ending its testing but will make its expertise available to private groups who wish to continue the battle. In a telephone interview from Venron, at the north end of Okanagan Lake, New- roth said bitterly that envir- onmentalists, who lobbied successfully against the use of the herbicide 2,34-D, were, partly to blame for the program's failure. PREVENTS TESTS “They were very effective in preventing tests with 2,4-D," he said. “They threw so many roadblocks in our ay.” But there were other for- ces at work. Newroth says people in the ministry under- estimated the tenacity of the plant which can choke lakes and destroy their rec- reational value and he counts himself in that number. Des- pite the ministry's best eff- orts, the plant was always one jump ahead of them.

The herbicide causes genetic mutations and cancer in laboratory mice. John Warnock, a member of the South Okanagan Envi- ronmental Coalition, « says there is proof that milfoil existed in North America before the ice age and is not the foreign invader the gov- ernment makes it out to be. PROBLEM MAN-MADE ‘Inan interview at his home in Nafamata, on the south end of Okanagan Lake, War- »nock ‘said the milfoil infest- _ ation began when the Okan- »agan water system was incor- porated into the Columbia River system by a series of dams south of the border. At that point it became a reser- voir and the perfect environ- ment for water weeds. Newroth says there are eight species of milfoil in the province, some of the na- ALY x tive, but it is the foreign strain that is causing all the 1 H di about mechanical harvesting. Newroth is angered by At “Environ- P le Warnock, saying milfoil will grow in free-flowing water as well a reservoirs. Warnock says man adds to the milfoil problem by dump- ing treated and untreated sewage into the water, pro- viding the plant with the nutrients on which it sur- vives. He said the first large bed of milfoil was found just south of Kelowna in a shel- tered lagoon near the city's sewage outfall. Large beds also grow near creeks that carry excess fertilizer from surrounding fields and orchards to the lakes. Newroth says milfoil does not need these nutrients to grow. In Vernon, a large near the city’s sewage outlet remained even after the city redirected its sewage, he said.

How often have we turned out our dresser drawers look- ing for something and even- tually found the thing right under our nose where we had put it, so we would know where it was. Sad to say, the source ofall truth is. being overlooked be- cause many just don't believe it is so easy to find. They are looking in the wrong place. Sadder than that, often when the way of the abundant life is found it is rejected because ‘the truth hurts.’ It is a fact that many have been brought face to face with the God of all truth, tasted his goodness and then lured away again to unbelief. The gap between God's truth and the Devil's lie is very dangerous. 3 Education is not the source of truth. Nor is it the product of religion. Then it must be the diligent following of a perscribed law. Wrong again. The Bible tells us, “The law was given by Moses but grace and truth are given by Jesus Christ.’ The same book tells us that the fear of God is the be- ginning of wisdom and that wisdom is justified of her children. s It is a comfort to know that God's truth, no matter how final and shattering it may be, is always d with such mentalists would like you ‘to believe we're spending all the money on 2,4-D, wheni in fact we spent as much on mech- anical harvesting as on 2,- 4D." He says they have devel- oped the rototiller and use it successfully in winter, when plant fragments are less bouyant and growing cond- itions are poor. He also dismisses the theory that the plant will die naturally after experiencing a period of exponential gro- wth. This has been the case in the Tennessee Valley and added that the pathogen at work in the U.S, has not been identified for use in other areas, The government also ex- i wit hanical in the Ch ke Bay area. The decline has been attrib- uted to a variety of factors, including a pathogen that attacks the plants. Newroth says the ministry has been taking aerial photo- graphs of the Okanagan area since 1975, and no general decline has been noted. He harvesters similar to wheat combines with some tempor- ary success but Newroth says mechanical harvesting is cosmetic and less effective than 2,4-D.
