The court granted an order halting all proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act and the Winding-up Act and prohibiting creditors from interfering with the operation of the business In an affidavit filed with the Supreme Court of B.C., Gaglardi said the companies have achieved dramatic improvement in operating results in the past two years. “While recent operating results have shown significant improvement, the companies have not completely recovered from the recession,” Gaglardi said In substantial part, Gaglardi said, this results from the Bank of Montreal's “intermeddling in the companies’ affairs, being unwilling iv take a realistic view of our finances and therefore refusing to voluntarily compromise any indebt companies’ general creditors » but interest and principal payments are current on the first mortgages totalling more than $76 million.

Early Greek texts found LONDON (AP) — The leader of a Canadian expedi- tion says archeologists in Egypt have dug up what may usually separated from the authors’ lifetimes by hun- dreds of years of copying and recopying by scribes. be the earliest pl versions of three classical Greek texts, at least one by Aristotle. Prof. Anthony Mills said his team found two books dating from the late third century AD, one literary and one containing farm ac- counts. The team was excavating the remains of the post-Hel lenic town of Isment in the Dakhla Oasis in central Egypt, said Mills, 51, an Egyptologist affiliated with the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. The literary manuscript contains a treatise on politics, apparently by the philoso- pher Aristotle; an essay on kingship by Isocrates, his fourth-century BC contemp- orary; and an unidentified text that could be one of Aristotle's lost works, Mills earliest complete texts of writings by Aristotle and Isocrates that survive in museums today date from the 10th century, a British expert said. The original works of clas- sical Greek scholars have vanished. What survives are The new d ries could bring scholars more than six centuries closer to the lost originals and eliminate what the Times of London des- cribed as “generations of slips of the pen.” The books measure 10 centimetres by 25 centimet- ers. Each has eight or nine wooden pages that are two centimetres thick, said Mills. The books, found in mid- January, are written in an- cient Greek with a split-reed pen, bound on one side and held together with the orig- inal strings, he said in a telephone interview from his home in Bodmin, southwest England. “The books are in excellent condition, the wood is good and hard and the writing is very clear,” he said. “The one with literary text is written in a very clear, very small and very ,precise hand. I would guess there would be 60 lines on each page, and writing on both sides of the page.” The books were found about 1.8 metres below the surface and one metre above the floor of a house College access committee here By CasNews Staff Castlegar residents will have a chance to express their opinions about access to post-secondary education on ‘Tuesday when a five-member regional access committee meets here. The committee, chaired by Selkirk College board chair man Elizabeth Fleet, is one of eight regional committees reviewing B.C.’s post-secon dary |education system. ‘The committee will in turn report to a provincial access committee on issues arising under five broad categories: @ access and barriers (to post-secondary education); transition (the number of high school graduates who begin post-secondary stud. ies; e transfer rates to uni versities; completion and retention rates; e transition to work The Castlegar meeting ‘Tuesday kicks off a series of five meetings in the Selkirk College region.

Stanley Humphries secon- dary student Teresa Lamb got to sit in the House of Commons, the Senate and attend Question Period as part of her trip to Ottawa for the Forum for Young Canadians. Students were in Ottawa to Study the processes of government. SHSS student attends forum on government By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer A Stanley Humphries secondary school Grade 12 student was recently appointed Minister of External Affairs for a day, where she worked with the federal cabinet and the prime minister to form a policy on immigration. But for Teresa Lamb it wasn't real. It was all part of the Forum for Young Canadians simulation program in Ottawa last month. Some 500 students travelled to Ottawa for a week as part of the program to study first-hand the processes of government in Canada. In addition to taking on the roles of cabinet, the students held a federal-provincial conference, attended the real Commons Question Period and ‘had sessions on everything from the Constitution to the Supreme Court. “We got to actually sit in the House of Commons and in the Senate,” said Lamb, although “not when they were in session.” Lamb says that although she expected to find some of the government topics “dry,” being there made a difference. “When the people who are actually involved with it, talk about it, it makes it much more interesting,” The week-long forum also included a Member of Parliament dinner where the students had the oppor- tunity to talk to the MPs. Lamb says while in Ottawa she learned more about the House of Commons page program offered which she could use to defer the cost of her first year of university she wants to take in Ottawa. “I'm trying for the page program in Ottawa for one year,” said Lamb who is hoping to take commerce there. “During the spare time that you have you work 15 hours a week, I think, and they pay the first year’s tuition,” Lamb says. She says pages act as “gophers” and messengers and have free movement within the House. “There is another page program for the senate for four years,” Lamb says, something she didn't know before going to Ottawa. Open House Canada, the Castlegar school board, the Castlegar Rotary Club, the Castlegar-Selkirk Lions Club and Lamb's parents provided the funding for the trip. Lamb says the trip was a great experience. “I loved it. It was really interesting meeting people (from) all over Canada.” Lamb says that although she didn't have many expectations before taking the trip, “it turned out a lot better than I thought it would.” Court news In Castlegar provincial fusing to provide a breath sample Allan’s Sewing * Factory Trained Tethnicion Depo: Stuart Leverington was given a one-year suspended sentence and probation for Machine assault Service s+ Robert White received three months conditional dis charge for assault. * 8 « In the March 30 issue of the Castlegar News it was stated Barry Bonham re. ceived a $500 fine or six months in jail for invoking fear of injury or violence.

No weddings FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. (CP) — A local Presby terian Church minister wants his church to get out of the wedding business. Rev, Bill Steele would like to see the Presbyterian Church in Canada follow the lead of clergy in Europe by not allowing weddings in the church. He said there are many people in society who no longer accept the Christian idea of marriage — but simply use the church as a place to get married. He said under his proposal couples would be married in a civil ceremony and then go to the church for a blessing on their marriage. Insurance fraud VANCOUVER (CP) — The Insurance Corpora. tion of British Columbia said a record number of fraud charges have been laid as a result of investigations into suspicious insurance claims. VANCOUVER (CP) — Economic Development offer last week to purchase all of the corporation's assets McCarthy resents interference president of the corporation (Kevin Murphy) and his Minister Grace McCarthy sharply criticized Premier Bill Vander Zalm's office, saying she resents its interference with the British Columbia Enterprise Corp. McCarthy said David Poole, principal secretary to Vander Zalm, should not have arranged a meeting for Vancouver businessman Peter Toigo with the staff of the corporation so Toigo could get financial information on the corporation's assets. “There's no question I have not been happy with some of the things the B.C. Enterprise Corporation hi had to tolerate and that's one of them,” McCarthy . McCarthy, minister responsible for the corporation, said she met with Vander Zalm to express her disappointment, “Yes, I have. That's no secret. My concern and disappointment regarding that is that the premier's office should not have been involved,” Toigo, a personal friend of Vander Zalm's, made an for a down payment of $265 million and further payments which could bring the total to $500 million OWNS EXPO SITE ‘The corporation owns 4,850 hectares of property, including the former Expo lands on Creek. McCarthy criticized the bid, saying it was submitted too late to be considered. She also said the bid was inappropriate because it could jeopardize negotiations already under way McCarthy declined to identify who was involved in the current negotiations for the Expo lands but it has been reported that the provincial cabinet is proceeding with talks with Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, who has offered $300 million for the site. Poole defended his role in lining up the corporation meeting with Toigo last November “My earlier comments stand,” Poole said ancouver’s False sensitive “The officials enthusiastically and positively approved that meeting willingly with no coercion “So for her to suggest they were somehow directed or interfered with supportive of it happening.” they were The meeting was held prior to a November corporation board meeting about Toigo's Dl, which was attended by Vander Zalm, and before a Dec®nber cabinet meeting at which the premier presented ‘Toigo's proposal. Poole also denied the premier's office was meddling in the affairs of the corporation. “I ama member of the board — equal member of the board to her and will participate as such,” Poole said. “It can't be categorized as interference now and the specific instance she refers to was done with the support and enthusiasm of the enterprise corporation.” ‘The corporation said 12 people in the V. area and Vancouver Island face 24 charges connected to claims worth more than $100,000. The charges were laid last month and the corporation said it's the highest number in one month. In some ca: motorists claimed to have suffered accident injuries when they weren't even in the vehicle involved. Bid rejected NANAIMO, B.C. (CP) — A group of government employees on Vancouver Island has had its bid for road maintenance contracts rejected under the province's privatization scheme. The government told the Vancouver Island Road and Bridge Maintenance Co. that it lacked sufficient financing to take on the contracts. The company is made up of about 400 highways workers and said it will likely resubmit a bid when the government calls for public tenders. The company is trying to get contracts covering highways in the Nanaimo, Port Alberni and Courtenay areas of Vancouver Island. McTeer to run OTTAWA (CP) — Maureen McTeer, wife of External Affairs Minister Joe Clark, has announced that she will be a candidate in the next federal election. McTeer will seek the Conservative nomination in the newly created riding of Carleton-Gloucester, located just east of Ottawa. “I'm going to win this nomination because I've worked hard, I've sold a lot of memberships, and because my organization is better than anyone else's organization,” she told CTV news. If McTeer is elected, it will be the first time that a husband and wife team has sat in Parliament. Turks marching POINTE-GATINEAU, Que. (CP) — More than 100 Turkish refugee claimants, including three who were supposed to have already left the country, reached this town across the river from Ottawa on Saturday. The Turks are only 15 kilometres from Parlia- ment Hill, but their march will continue until Tuesday, eight days after they set out from Montreal. They plan to spend Sunday night in nearby Gatineau and Monday night in Hull. The march was organized to protest the govern ment’s rejection of the Turks’ refugee status claims and to press Ottawa to suspend deportation pro- ceedings until their cases can be re-evaluated. Fire kills sisters NAPIERVILLE, Que. (CP) — Two elderly deaf-mute sisters died and a 23-year-old man was injured in a fire at their home early Saturday in this town about 50 kilometres south of Montreal. Quebec provincial police spokesman Pierre Le. marbre identified the victims as Germaine Tremblay, 69, and her sister Florida, 73. Lemarbre said the man, whose name was not released, was overcome by smoke but was rescued by firemen and taken to hospital. It was not known how serious his injuries were. Police also do not know what caused the fire, which began about 4 a.m., Lemarbre said. Autopsies will be performed on the two victims on Monday. Pope condemns VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope John Paul con demned doctrinal and liturgical abuses in the Roman Catholic Church and said he still hopes for a settlement with rebel French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. “The need to distinguish from what authentically builds up the church from what destroys her is becoming in the present period a particular demand of our service to the whole community of believers,” the Pope wrote Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, the Vatican's powerful guardian of church orthodoxy. Police dragnet LOS ANGELES (AP) — A massive police dragnet aimed at street violence and drug dealing swept the city's gang-plagued neighborhoods and netted 634 people, more than half of them suspected gang members, authorities said Saturday. “We are going to take these terrorists off the streets of Los Angeles,” Mayor Tom Bradley said when the deployment of 1,000 officers got under way Friday evening. “We are determined to take back the streets from these hoodlums.” Milk shortage NEW DELHI (Reuter) — Thousands of cows roam New Delhi, but the Indian capital is gripped by a milk shortage. Officials said Saturday the shortfall will be lengthy and milk prices will rise. Last year's drought, the worst this century, cut fodder for dairy cattle, they said. Cows, regarded as holy by Hindus, often amble past long queues outside Delhi's milk shops. ‘Quake strikes HONG KONG (AP) — A severe earthquake struck the Bismarck Sea off the north coast of New Guinea on Saturday morning, the Royal Observatory reported.

NELSON continued from front page money off the school. It has always been the notion to generate economic activity.” Within 10 years there will be 1,000 highly trained business people in Japan with direct knowledge of Nelson, Rotering says. Already the effects have trickled down in Nelson, in the heart of a region heavily dependent on resource in dustries and hit hard by the recession. From mattresses and dormitory furniture to food and video games, the policy of the college is to shop locally, says Gerry Gauthier, the dean of students. One program pays families $20 to invite students into their homes over night. And the college, which once flour. ished as a creative centre, has a fine arts facility where sculptors, weavers and potters can use studio space. “We'll pay for gas for the kilns and let artists have their students here in exchange for six hours a week work with the students,” said Gougeon. When the health unit gets the results each home involved in the test will be privately notified by mail and the health unit will compile and make public a report The radioactive gas — called radon is naturally occurring and is in visible, odorless, tasteless and deadly It results from trace levels of certain minerals in the soil, rocks and ground water, according to a Canadian comp any which does testing for the gas Harnadek says the eight-month testing period gives a “good cross-sec tion of the homes,” because it measures accumulated levels of radon in different seasons when people have their homes open to summer weather and closed to the cold. These monitors give a “more accurate or tangible reading” than 24-hour screening-devices offered by different companies, says Harnadek Radon can seep in through floor drains, cracks in concrete floors and walls, and through water fixtures. However, entry levels can be brought down to minimum by something as simple as putting a trap in the floor drain in your basement. Some 250 homes in Castlegar and Trail were also tested in a federal survey in 1978 fhe survey showed a “significant number with high radon levels, prob ably due to radon in drinking water from underground wells.” Harnadek says the Central Koot enay Health Unit “took advantage of the federal testing” and asked that it be done again, particularly because we live in an area that has a high mineral content and technology in testing has improved since that time HIJACKERS KILL FIRST HOSTAGE LARNACA, Cyprus (AP) — The hijackers of a Kuwaiti jumbo jet killed one of their captives and beat others Saturday but later released a sick passenger, government officials said With the ordeal closing its fifth day, the hijackers threatened to kill more passengers if the plane was not refuelled, the officials said The intervention of a senior Palestine Liberation Organization official, who met three times with the hijackers Saturday, sparked some hope of a breakthrough in the deadlocked negotiations. Cypriot officials identified the slain man as a security guard on the Kuwait Airways Boeing 747. But the Kuwait News Agency quoted the Persian Gulf state's Information Minister Sheik Jaber Mubarak al-Sabah, as saying the victim was one of three military men returning from a vacation in Thailand. The released man is a Kuwaiti Shiite Muslim named Fadel Abdel-Rassoul Leeri, 32, said the Kuwait News Agency, quoting unidentified officials. There was no official confirmation, but a Kuwaiti of that name was listed as a passenger on the plane when it was hijacked Tuesday on a flight from Bangkok to Kuwait Cypriot officials said the freed man was ill. An officials said negotiations between the hijackers and the Kuwaitis had stalemated Saturday, with “the hijackers demanding fuel so they can leave and the Kuwaitis insisting this must not happen.” DEADLINE EXPIRED Saturday's slaying, the first since the plane was hijacked Tuesday, came two minutes after a deadline set by the hijackers for the Cypriots to provide fuel expired. The man’s body, his hands tied behind his back, wi tossed out of the door onto the tarmac. An ambulance drove slowly to the plane, medics put the body on a stretcher and drove away A government spokesman said the man was shot three times in the head and had a broken neck. It was not clear whether the neck injury was the result of the fall The shooting came a few hours after the pilot reported that the Arab sky pirates began beating passengers aboard the plane because the Cypriots had not met their demand for fuel. About 55 people, including the hijackers, are aboard the plane. The rest of the 112 originally on board were released by the hijackers. It was no known exactly how many hijackers there are. Passengers released in Iran Tuesday and Wednesday told officials in Kuwait there were are many as 10. The Kuwaiti jumbo landed in Larnaca Friday night after flying from Mashhad in northeastern Iran, where it was forced to land Tuesday Lebanon and Syria refused to allow the plane to land at Beirut or Damascus Friday, despite frantic appeals from the pilot that the plane was running out of fuel. PLO INTERVENES About three hours after the killing, the PLO’s deputy director in Cyprus, Malaz Abdo, and two Cypriot officials were driven to the plane parked at the eastern end of the beachside runway. West Coasta COLLEGE continued from front page “It's very clear faculty are at the absolute maximum workload now over what they should be in many cases,” said Marg Perry. “The profit motive has no place in education “There's no fat in the system,” she added. “We're down to eating away some of the muscie.” The committee is to make its report by May 13. “If the committee determines there is not enough money in the system to fund the enrolment increases expected, I am prepared to go back to Treasury Board to ask for additional funds,” Hagen said. pu pyPP” STAN HAGEN semester system? ‘danger zone’ VANCOUVER (CP) oa Canada’s West Coast waters are becoming a danger zone of super-power confrontation because of a huge buildup of military hardware by the United States in the area, says a former U.S. military intelligence analyst William Arkin, now a think-tank researcher in Washington, D.C., said the Canadian military intends to contribute to the buildup with its plans for a fleet of frigates and costly nuclear. powered submarines on the West Coast “The United States senses weakness on the part of the Soviets in the Far East, and they (Americans) figure the best defence is a good off. ence,” said Arkin in an inter. view “This means the militar. ization of the North Pacific.” Arkin said Alaska is get ting new naval and air in stallations but the linchpin of the American strategy is the establishment of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier bat tle group in Puget Sound. just south of Victoria. “The arrival of the carrier Nimitz is being held up by an environmental challenge, but at one point earlier this year it was bunkered in waters off Nanaimo, the first time a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been stationed in Canadian waters,” he said. Arkin is in Vancouver to speak at a function sponsored by the groups End the Arms Race, Greenpeace and Science for Peace. He said Soviet bombers make about 50 flights a year into international waters of the North Pacific “I'm not an apologist for the Soviet Union but com pare what they do with the U.S.'s long series of naval manoeuvres just a couple of hundred miles of the Soviet coast, some of the largest manoeuvres since World War II,” he said. “In one manoeuvre, the U.S. used five carrier battle groups. Just think of the reaction if the Soviets did that here.” He said the increased militarization of the area is making the Soviets jittery.
