Kootenay West MP Not Informed

DREE Cut from Riding

Kootenay West MP Bob
Brisco has strongly criticized
the head of the federal Depart-
ment of Regional and Economic
Expansion (DREE) for cutting
this riding off the economic
development program without
even notifying him.

Mr. Brisco sald he had not
been consulted prior to the
decision and has yet to be
formally advised of the decision
by either the department or by

COLA Clause

For Steelworkers

Steelworkers empluy:d name
Cominco operations in Trail,
Salmo and Kimberley have just
picked up another 11 cents per
hour effective Jan. 1 on their
cost of living clause, (COLA)
according to a Steelworker
news release,

This brings their total
COLA adjustment to date up to

five more COLA adjustments
to come in the current contract
plus a 20 cents per hour bonus.

For the purpose of roll-in,
the base rate is now $5.76 and
trades rate is $7.81 per hour.
The COLA clause was negoti-
ated into the contract Nov. 1,
1974 by the United Steelwork-
ers of America,

Violafion of B.C.'s Food
Prices Brings $250 Fine

Super-Valu Store owner,
Esther Wood, has agreed to
pay $250 cash or merchandise
to the Dr, Endicott School for
the Handicapped for violating
British Columbia’s food price
controls, *

Mrs. Wood, who owns
eight stores in the Kootenays
and one on the coast, said she
was happy with the arrange-
ment, but added she felt at the
time her price increases were
justified and legal.

The increases, she ex-
plained which affected mainly

bakery-products; should have
best Tipbosed before the Oct. 24
price*freeze: The hikes’ were
brought in on the coast Sept. 9
and in the Kootenay stores
Sept. 29, but somewhere along
the line the Price lists got lost
and the price increases were
not brought into effect.

According to Mrs. Wood,
by the time the oversight was
detected the provincial price
freeze was already in effect.

City Runs $1,000 Deticit
In Dog Control Activities

Dog control in the City of
Castlegar ran a $1,002.71 deficit
in 1975.

In a report submitted by
Ald, Audrey Moore at the Dec.
23 council meeting, it stated
dog control cost the city
$3,949.21 with revenues from
tags and pound bringing in
$2,946.50.

This is an improvement
over 1974 which recorded a
deficit of $2,385, states the
report.

These figures do not in-
clude capital expenditures for a
ound which has now been

constructed by the city to
enable it to exercise full control
over the facility.

Mrs. Moore reported the
city's dog control officer, Jim
Vigue, had an active year,
General patrols have been
carried out on an average of
eight times per month,

She states complaints have
been fully investigated and
satisfactorily dealt with.

The total number of ani-
mals impounded, as of the end
of November, were 142, Of
these, 72 had to be destroyed as
they were unclaimed.

and some canned foods were
used anyway resulting in a
complaint by the Nelson Con-
sumer Action League.

The Department of Con-
sumer Services investigated
the complaint and discovered
that prices on 27 items had
been raised in violation of the
freeze. After notification the
stores in question rolled back
their prices.

In addition to the $250,
which is to be paid by Jan. 10,
Mrs. Wood has agreed to

Kootenay stores to the effect
that the stores will comply with
the provincial price controls.

Marcel Lessard, the federal
minister responsible for DREE.

He said he learned of the
termination (effective Jan. 1,
1976) from a Trail businessman
who had applied for a DREE.
grant,

“I then checked with «
DREE official in Victoria and
with the deputy minister in
Ottawa,” he said. “In a way I
am not surprised, as this is
typleal of the arrogance demon-
strated by the Liberal govern-
ment when dealing with the
Opposition.

“I Intend to ralse the
matter in the House andask the
minister ‘why he made this
arbitrary decision, and why he
demonstrated a serious lack of
common courtesy and an abject
ignorance of protocol,”

Mr. Brisco said the deci-
sion to terminate the program
in this riding was made in
spite of strong indleations to
the contrary by Mr. Lessard
during talks with the minister
in November over continuation
of the program in this area,

Mr, Brisco called the ter-
mination “an extremely serious
blow to an economically dis-
advantaged area." Mr. Brisco
has been a member of the
parliamentary standing com-
mittee on regional development
since he was elected.

The DREE program is
operated in conjunction with
the provinces and provides
incentive grants for the expan-
sion of existing industry or the
development of new industry.
In addition, federal-provincial
sub-agreements under DREE
can provide for programs such
as forest research, mineral use
studies, environmental studies
and highway development.

He said the failure of the
DREE program in Kootenay
West and the rest of B.C. must
be shared by the former NDP
provincial government.

“In the 18 months since I
was elected, I have been in
regular contact with the provin-
cial Department of Economic
Development,” he said. “All I
received were shallow promises
of support,

“The former minister for
economic development, who

came to Kootenay Weatrat ther

urging of MLA Chris D'Arcy
and the Kootenay Industrial
Development Association, told

Jan. 11-17 Declared National
Education Week on Smoking

For a year, the B.C.
Tuberculosis-Christmas Seal
Society have been offering free
smoking cessation programs to
the Vancouver and Nanaimo
area public.

The pregram, Operation
Kick It, has graduated more
than 500 non-smokers from
sessions held in varied locations
including hospitals, community
centres, plant lunchrooms, cor-
porate boardrooms, a health
unit, a community college and
the society's own office.

The program got off the
ground last January when a
decision was made by the B.C.
Tuberculosis-Christmas Seal
Society executive committee to
bring out the heavy artillery
against cigarette smoking.

Mrs. Marie Tracy, who had
spent five years working in the
field of smoking cessation in
private business, and society
nurse educator Karen Stanton,
who had spent two years
refining a smoking information
program for school children,
undertock development of the
most comprehensive smoking
information and cessation pro-
gram operated by a voluntary
agency in Canada.

which amounts to group ther-

Alcoholics Anonymous and

“The most important
thing,” says Mrs. Tracy, “is to
understand why you smoke.
Self-awareness is the key.”

“We don't use any scare
tactics," she continues. “We
know they won't work in the
long run. Since smoking is a
learned process, we try to help
with the unlearning of the
habit, not by trying to frighten
people into quitting.”.

The week of Jan, 11 to 17
has been declared National
Education Week on Smoking by
Minister of Health Mare La-
londe, and during that week,-
Operation Kick It classes begin.

heard from him again.

“His department never re-
ferred one single new industry
prospect or inquiry to Koote-
nay West.”

Mr. Brisco also singled out
former Resources Minister Bob
Williams for attack. He said
that at a meeting of MPs and
provincial cabinet ministers in
Jate 1974, Mr. Williams, in
response toa direct question by

.Mr, Brisco concerning future

development in Kootenay
West, said that by
1975, there would be a major
pulp mill expansion at Castle-
gar and to forget about DREE,

“The next we heard sbout
the pulp mill expansion wasina
campaign promise last month,”
Mr. Brisco said.
