It was not know where he sought sanc- tuary. Nor was there any word from ‘Lucas. Garcia’s elected successor, Gen. An- gel Anibal Guevara, who had been scheduled to take office July 1, The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala said it had. re- ceived word that Guevara was safe. * wing president and his suc- cessor had “imposed a gov- ernment on us that does not represent the people.” Rios -Montt, wearing a military uniform, promised elections to choose a new government but set no date. He also said “there is no state of siege in the country.” | Coup leaders, described as junior military officers, also seized the state-run radio and played martial music mixed with announcements that the Guevara, a close of Lucas Garcia, was elected March 7 amid widespread al- legelions that the voting was rigged. Rios Montt told a news conference the ousted right- was prompted by headed by the centre-right Christian Democratic, party. His two junta colleagues held high posts during Lucas Gar- eia's four years in office. Right-wing °‘‘death squads,” paramilitary groups reported linked to the gov- ernment and wealthy latd- owners, are blamed by Ro- man Catholic Church and hu- man-rights groups: for most. of the estimated 800. political killings reported each month. Government critics say the. death squads hunt and kill foll a frau- dulent election.” RAN FOR OFFICE Rios Montt ran unauccess- fully for president in 1974 as candidate of a coalition Local wells being tested by Hydro B.C. Hydro said this week it is continuing its tests of local wells as part of its environmental studies on the proposed Murphy Creek Dam. A Hydro spokesman said little impact is expected from the dam on surface water supply, but the Crown cor-' poration still wants all in- formation it can obtain on current well status: Residents who ‘.suspect their wells might be affected by the: proposed reservoir should contact Hydro in- formation officer Alex Lutz at 365-5241, OF over 50 varieties FRIDAY, MARCH 26 "West.

There were reports Tues- day afternoon of shooting at the military garrison in Que- tzlatenango, 200 kilometres west of the capital, but Rios Montt claimed there was no resistance to the coup. “The situation in the coun- try is norma] and tranquil,” he said. “All areas are with the movement and support it fully.” The only favorable early reaction to the coup Tuesday -eame from. neighboring El Salvador, where leftist. in- surgents are fighting a civili- an-military junta and .elec- tions are scheduled for Sun- day.

Health unit gets lotteries grant Nelson's s just,“ been awarded $80,000 — the largest lotteries grant ever given to a public health unit in B.C. Dr. Terry Pagan, director of the unit and project. co- ordinator, said the grant has been given so that he can re- search computerization of public health ° statistics” in Nelson. It's a pilot project, Pagan said, since no other health units in the province have yet computerized their statistics. If it's successful the con- cept may be adapted by the bigger health units from tiny : Selkirk, the smallest in the . province with an estimated population of 27,000. Most of the lottery grants for health research went to professors from the Uni- Peat of B.C. . Pagan said that the pur- pose of his project is easy to understand. * “It’s a way for the health unit to find out more about our population.” ’ For instance, we can feed all the information about deaths this year into it, and if there were anything funny = going on, it would show up.” ~Birtls-have been the focus’ of most of the computer work to date, Pagan said. $30 million gin d sign if he did not get a clear yote of confidence.

Unemployment ‘bottomed out’ VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia's troubled forestry sector will not show any sign of recovery for the next year or 18 months, says Richard McAlary, chief ec- onomist with the B.C. Cen- tral Credit Union. McAlary, speaking Tues- day to the Downtown Van- couver Association, pre- _ dicted that B.C.’s mining sec- — the province's second largest industry — will be “the next sector to see lay- offs.” The forest industry, he said, will continue to operate at a capacity of about 60 per cent throughout 1982. However, McAlary said ‘the economic problems plag- uing the province — which he said has the highest inflation Home renovations OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government unveiled a, modest home-repair pro- The money is intended pri- marily for families with in- comes of less than $80,000. ‘The loan rate in Canada and the high- est unemployment rate west of Quebec — have “bottomed out.” He also said he believes interest rates will start to “decline next month. McAlary told the members of the downtown community association that the current recession will not pass with- out leaving some permanent mark on the population. “I. think enough people have been burned in this re- cession — economically as well as psychologically,” he said: “... we're going to come out a different society.” Consumer - spending pat-. + terns, as well as the public's general economic outlook,4 will be altered, he said.” ~~ CHANGES IN STORE - The economist reminded the association that 64 per cent of B.C.’s adult popu- lation is between the ages of 19 and 89 — people who were born in the socalled baby boom years of the 1950s and _ early 1060s. Economic circles, he said, enjoy -debating the severity. of the present ‘recession in historical terms. “But it's the | worst that our gram Tuesday, the number of homeowners ell- gible for insulation grants and doubled its efforts to help apartment builders. Housing Minister Paul Cos- grove and Energy Minister Mare Lalonde made the an- nouncements at a news con- ference, the latest in a series drawing attention to Liberal efforts to create jobs. at a’ time of high unemployment.

The changes in the Cana- dian Home Insulation Pro- - gram mean that owners of houses built between Jan. 1, 1961, and Jan. 1, 1971, will be eligible for federal grants to defray the cost of insulating. That is expected to add 1.6 million homeowners to the eligibility list and cost $280 million this year.
