FIRA approved the sale Nov. 26, but acquisition is still subject to final approval by the provincial forest min- istry. The assets of T and H Winning Western numbers Sawmills include a timber quota which is the second largest in the Lardeau area. The timber rights will more than double Crestbrook’s own timber quota in the Lardeau area. s The assets also include a small mill and mobile equip- ment at Kaslo. A prepared release by the company notes the acquisi- tion of T and H will “fit in with Crestbrook Forest In- dustries Ltd.’s proposed long-term plans for the de- velopment of the Kootenay Lake region and a new saw- mill in the Creston area.” CFI was formed in 1967 in a joint-venture agreement Gi k Timber Winning W for the Dec. 2 draw for $100,000 are 2513558, 1834940, 3313374, 2193971 and 8756801.

CFI directly employs more than 900 workers in logging, sawmill and plywood-veneer operations, and the produc- tion of kraft pulp. Aircraft landing restrictions Air navigation regulations are planned for several prov- incial parks, including Kokan- ee Glacier, the provincial this in the last 15 months, the European Economic Com- munity is supplying sub- sidized food worth $660 mil- lion and the United States is stepping up its food aid and sales to reach $850 million this year. The Canadian govern- ment’s assistance includes $100,000 in food aid and an agreement allowing Poland to buy up to 1.6 million tonnes of grain annually. Poles are buying close to that grain figure and Canada is easing credit guarantees so the purchases can continue. There also is private Cana- g week. Lands, parks and housing minister Jim Chabot said the province has asked the fed- eral transport ministry to impose aircraft landing res- trictions for Kokanee Glacier, Hamber, Mount Assiniboine, and three other parks. “Under the regulations air- craft will be permitted to land in these parks only if the operator is in possession of a park use permit which has been issued by an authorized park official,” Chabot said. The regulations will enable park staff to have come con- trol over the number of air- craft entering parks and help preserve the parks’ tranquil- ity and wilderness atmos- phere. Transcripts of the prop- osed regulations are avail- able from the ministry's out- door recreation division, pro- vincial parks branch, Parli- ildi: Victoria, dian An irony is that despite its urgent domestic needs, Po- land is still exporting food because it has to earn hard currency to pay its mounting foreign debts. Now, Polish trucks taking food abroad load up for the return jour- ney with the emergency sup- plies provided by foreign charities. A Reuters news agency survey shows that official aid is also being boosted by a huge private effort, mainly by Western charities and trade unions. TRUCKS BRING HELP Trucks loaded with food and medical supplies are pouring into Poland in res- ponse to an appeal last month by Solidarity union leader Lech Walesa for food aid. The unprecedented peace- time prospect of an indus- trialized European country facing famine has tugged at the heartstrings of many people in the West who have seen on their television screens the hunger marches and lengthy lines for meagre rations in Poland. Caroline Shaw of the Oc- kenden Venture a British charity which is sending sup- plies, said: “A lot of people in Poland ,will manage to get through the winter but they are not getting enough nour- ishment and large families, the old, the young and the destitute are serously at risk.” Poland's collapsing econ- omy, burdened with more than $265-billion worth of for- eign debts, is no longer able to finance the food imports needed for its 35 million population. The government recently asked the EEC for a million tonnes of grain. and other groups to keep Canada a nuclear wea- pon-free zone. Action to have the church directory sign on the Chris- tina Lake highway improved and relocated has been taken, The various churches in- volved will have to pitch in and help with the cost.

P ee eeeey: Workers take wage cuts 100 MILE HOUSE (CP) — About 880 workers at two BC. Interior stud mills have agreed to temporary wage cuts of up to 19 per cent to keep their jobs during the forest industry slump, The wage cuts at the Ainsworth Lumber Co. Ltd, mills in 100 Mile House and nearby Clinton start this week and will be reviewed after Jan, 29, company con- troller Ken Stewart said Wednesday. Stewart said 250 members of the Cariboo Woodworkers Wage cutting not a practice VANCOUVER (CP) — Ma- jor forest industry firms are not planning to follow the le of a lumber com- y and office workers and 85 | rs and truck drivers will be af. fected, “This will cut our cash losses and put usin a position where it is better to keep the mills open than shut down,” said Stewart, “We would have closed otherwise, “In a small town there are not many alternatives nad our employees would rather be ocking for less than not at all.” Proposed act could cut costs VANCOUVER (CP) — The proposed Land Use Act could cut the cost of buying a new home by at least $5,000 be- cause it will speed up the cumbersome municipal ap- proval process, home build- ing industry spokesmen said: this week. They said it should also get homes on the market much faster when demand is heavy — and would have dampened the wild speculation last fall. “We welcome the new act beause it will take six months off the development time and that saves everybody mon- ey,” said Gordon Cameron of the Housing and Urban De- velopment Association of Canada. The plan will require mu- nicipalities to develop an official plan in which land is zoned for residential, com- mercial and industrial use and future development pat- terns are set. Cameron, chairman of HUDAC's land to analyze the current sys- tem, said the new act is an improvement that will make building less risky — and less costly. Cameron said the commun- ity plan would make it easier to build more affordable un- fill housing. For example, he said some lots in Richmond are abnor- , mally deep. A developer who knows that smaller lots are allowed in a neighborhood might consolidate some ex- isting large lots — even if they have homes on them — and then resubdivide them into small lots in order to build infill housing. ERnie Hnatiuk, vice-presi- dent, B.C. division of Carma Devel, 1 pany in the B.C. Interior and ask their workers to take pay cuts, says an industry spokesman. Keith Bennett, president of the Forest Industrial Re- lations Ltd., was commenting on a union-employer pact in which workers at Ainsworth Lumber Co. Ltd. at 100 Mile House agreed to accept pay cuts of as much as 19 per cent. “None of our member companies has made any proposals to cut wages and none intends to,” Bennett said this week. Pay cuts would not have stopped the closure of the Western Forest Products Honeymoon Bay and Gordon River mills in October, in- dustrial relations manager John Allanson said. “We didn’t even consider it," said Allanson. The clo- sures left about 350 loggers and millhands out of work. The milis were closed be- cause there was not enough mature wood to operate, he “A reduction in hourly ee SILVER ANNIVERSARY of Peter and Olga lishoft was celebrated Nov. 27 when a banquet was held at the Fireside Place attended by the couple's family and friends. Guests came from as for away. o Calgary and rates wouldn't have solved that.” He said pay cuts could be negotiated at the 100 Milo House mill because “it's non-union; they have an association; the first reaction of the (International Wood- workers’ of Anierica) union’ good tim would have been: ‘No way.’ SHARE THE MISERY Bennett sald that when the industry is depressed, com- panies frequently have used what he called a “share-the- misery” plan in which com- panies implement shorter work weeks at some saw- mills, Spokesmen for Crown Zel- lerbach Ltd. and MacMillan Bloedel Ltd, said that instead of laying off some employees while others were put on a four-day week. © Jack Munro, regional pres- ident of the International Woodworkers of America, which has more than 10,000 of its 50,000 B.C. members laid off because of the current lumber slump, rejected the & idea of his members accept- ing pay cuts. Munro agreed the industry is depressed but said em- & ployers should have put enough money away during es “so that workers aren't expected to do..the bulk of the suffering.” Jim Kinnaird, president of the B.C. Federation of Labor, said he does not like wage cuts but conceded that unions must occasionally face econ- omic reality. ‘ Sometimes, he said, “some very hard decisions have got to be made.” Meanwhile at 100 Mile House, the workers who ac- cepted pay cuts were ap- plauded in an advertisement published this week in the local newspaper by a bakery- delicatessen, which said it would support their action by cutting its prices by about 10 per cent.

Mr. and Mrs, 4vailable in Castlegar to visit a gift of a trip from their 10 Hawaii early in the new committee, said it can now take one to three years to get a subdivision zoned and ap- proved. The process for an apartment building can take three years. He calculated that by zon- ing the entire municipality, builders could save at least six: months by -avoiding the lemgthy — and: often contro-- versial — rezoning. That would cut the interest costs for holding a $50,000 lot by $5,000 or more. i If the plan was in place last fall new housing could have been built quickly to dampen the heavy buying that drove up the price, he added.
