Establishing of Transitions House

at Informal Mecting

Discussed

A transition house should
provide a space where mothers
pulled out from an undesirable
climate can take “time out to
solve their problems”, accord-
ing to People Interaction mem-
ber Colin Pryce.

:’ Pryce, one of 10 interested
residents who attended an
informal meeting at Selkirk
College Tuesday, said that
women under duress contribute
té-a majority of mental health
problems in Castlegar and a
transition house would fill a
vital need.

: Inanarea where no Mental
Health facilities are available, it
is}now up to members of the
cémmunity to bring about a
lidison. with medical people,
mental health. people, coun:
sellors, the human resources
ministry and the man on the
street to gather information
and make a statistical analysis
and bring about a liaison, Pryce
said,

From there a women's club
could be formed where sup-"
portive women could provide
receiving homes, keeping a
“bed open” for women and
children while they sort out
their problems, he said. Time
would be limited to three
months and it could be funded
by Human Resources as in the
case of Foster Children. Sur-
veillance would have to be
provided to ensure no abuse of
funding. :

‘Transition House began as
a course project set up by
Selkirk College students Carol
Carter and Cathy Soles.

Peggy Reed, among those
who attended the meeting, has
prepared a brief for the Job
Creation Branch in Kelowna

requesting grants for student.

projects as part of the Family
Life Program.

Pryce proposed introduc-
ing the house during

mental health program of films
and discussions on such prob-
lems as juvenile group homes,
supervised receiving homes for
the handicapped and mecha-
nisms for reaching out to the
aged and the widowed.

He said he would contact
the human resources ministry
to arrange for the program.

Persons interested in a
transition house for the Castle-
gar area should contact Colin
Pryce, Peggy Reed, Carol Car-
ter or Cathy Soles.

Kootenay Sai

Credit Union

. nay Svings Cot Un
Continues to Record Steady Growth

The Kootenay “Savings
Credit Union had a

. growth year in 1977, despite

the unsettled economic climate.
General manager Don Tuline
told 323 members at the KSCU
annual meeting in Trail Monday
night that assets during the
year increased by 24.5 per cent
to $52,888,246,

Net revenue beforo dis-°

tribution to members totalled
$1,027,794. The KSCU direc-
tors authorized a seven per
cent dividend on shares, and a
7.6 per cent patronage refund.
These figures, said Tuline, are
comparable to those paid by
other credit unions of com-
parable size.

Membership growth dur-
ing the year was greater than
jn 1976, with 1,055 new mem-
bers bringing the total, to
21,821, '

There, was a particularly
heavy demand for mortgages
and personal loans, Tuline
explained, resulting in a gain in
the loan portfolio of 33.9 per
cent. Savings, on the other
hand, only grew by 16.5 per
cent.

‘The number and amount of
loans at KSCU’s seven branch-
es were outlined by credit
committee chairman Nick Og-
loff. He said 4,306 loans were
processed during the year, and
the total loan volume of $26,-
910,825 represented an in-

crease of 84 per cent over 1976. .

Loans totalling $6,028 were
written off, but the credit union

recovered $5,974 from previous *

write-offs.

In terms of Kootenay
Savings’ properties, president
Derril Thomas told the mem-
bers that the Brilliant branch
office was expanded last year,
and expansion appears war-
ranted at the New Denver
branch. As the result, a con-

tract was let March 17 for the
construction of a modern New -

Denver branch facility.

‘Thomas sald that a market
survey of the Trail-Fruitvale
region indicates that “it would
be prudent” to establish a
branch office in the new Wa-
neta Plaza shopping centre. In

Slocan and, Waneta Plaza are
now being considered.

The opening of the Waneta
Plaza is scheduled for Ocotober
of this year. Sits

The newly-elected execu-
tive, chosen by the directors, is

Non-Filtered
Cigarettes

Lesser Risk

People who smoke filtered
cigarettes risk dying two to
nearly four years sooner than
smokers of non-filtered cigar-
ettes, according to a study con-
ducted at Edinboro State Col-
lege, Pa.

Dr. G. H. Miller, assistant
director of institutional re-
search atthe college, claims
more carbon monoxide gets
into the blood of people who
smoke filtered’ cigarettes be-
cause the filters prevent the
smoke from being diluted by
oxygen. ri

Asa result, he said, higher
levels of carbon monoxide build
up in the bloodstream in the
form. of carboxyhemoglobin.
Research has linked higher con-
centrations of carbon monoxide
to greater damage to the car-
diovascular system, leading to
heart attacks and strokes, he

sure did,”
said. Authorities at first had
thought the books had been
checked out and never return-
ed.

D’Aurelio rented the
apartment for 10 years, said
Armando Arias, the building
superintendent. About two

years ago, he stopped living in
the apartment, and three

“months ago he stopped paying

his monthly $200 rent. No one
has seen him since. 3

< Arias “and city“ marshals”

entered the apartment a week
ago and found books on the bed,

the floor, even packed into [Fy NYP

kitchen cabinets—books on Cic-
ero, architecture and design,
chemistry, archaeology, flow-
ers, Greek, Russian and a guide
to the rhythm method of birth
control, :

Some were dated as having

, beon taken as long ago as.1952.

D'Aurelio was described
by neighbors as an average-
looking man in his 50s, with
receding red hair and a quiet
demeanor. Arias said he once
worked for the city as an
architect, and apparently kept
the Queens apartment as a
place to work and study.

At 10 cents a day, D'Aure--
lio's overdue charge in New
York City for all 7,000-volumes
would amount to $700 daily.
Any book that had lain around
since 1952 would have an
accumulated fine of about $912.
‘If all had been due back then,
‘the bill would total more than
$6.3 million.
