MDC Soon to Go;
B.C. Not in Same Boat

There's no chance in the
foreseeable future that the B.C.
Development Corporation will
go the probable way of its
counterpart in Mahitoba.

The new Sterling Lyon
government in the Prairie pro-
vince has said the MDC has
outlived its usefulness now that
there are so many other federal
programs to help business.

Don Duguid, however,
says BCDC has life in it yet.

The BCDC president says
the four-year-old corporation
has -always acted more inde-
pendently of government than

has the MDC, so is not subject
to political whims.

BCDC handles different
kinds of financing than does
MDC, acts as project manager
in the private sector, and has a
couple of other tasks which it
believes are not being done by
other bodies.

“We're land developers as
well, and are trying to central-
ize the Crown'role in that.”

“There'll come a time when
the economy is very strong,
when we won't be needed, 'm
sure—and we'll be the firat to
concede it.”

Christmas Tree Lights
Can be a Fire Hazard

Ornamental lights on
Christmas trees can be a
serious fire hazard unless rea-

Untll his death several
years ago, the venerable Doml-

for the seasons ahead. But this

Dominic and no one among the

A. Deptford.
He singled out artificial

. Metallic type trees as being of

special concern,
“Metallic type trees are
good conductors of electricity

Some trees

will absorb about 0.5 litres a
day, said Deptford.

“And to be on the safe side,

‘for the night, or any time the

couver’s North Shore carries on
in his footsteps.

“Today's Indians are not
living close enough to nature to
observe these signs,” says son
Steve Charlie.

“They are too busy fight-

cuase of the electrical hazard,”
he said.

Deptford also pointed out
that people should not assume

they are perfectly safe because
they have an artificial tree,

“Some of the popular re-
usable plastic trees are flam-
mable. Enquire about this point
before buying,” said Deptford.

When selecting a- natural
Christmas tree he suggested a
pine or Douglas fir in prefer-
ence to spruce.

“Both will hold their nee-
dies longer, and present less of
a fire hazard. Try to find a tree
that has been freshly cut,” he
said.

Before the decorating pro-
cess starts, check out the.
Christmas tree lights, said
Deptford.

“Each string of lights, new
or old, should be examined for
broken or cracked sockets,
frayed or bare wires or loose
connections. Discard damaged
sets or repair them,” he said.

When preparing a natural
tree and stand, saw an inch or
two off the tree's butt using a
diagonal cut. This exposes a

> larger surface to moisture than’

is the case with a straight cut,
suggested Deptford.

“Stand the tree in water. °

Local RCMP Handle
30 Weekend Complaints

Thirty complaints were
investigated by local RCMP
over the weekend. These in-

‘eluded four minor accidents

resulting in charges of driving
too fast for road. conditions
against three drivers.

Police arrested one im-
paired driver and suspended
the driver's licence for 24 hours
of five other drivers as well as
issuing five traffic tickets.

Two female X-country ski-
ers, lost in the area of Nancy
Greene Lake, were found by
members of the Rossland Snow-
mobile Club.

Still under investigation is
the theft of 25 five gallon cans

of fire fighting foam from the
Castlegar Airport, total value is
$700; break-in of the CP Rail
shack in Castlegar anda hit and
run aceldent at Selkirk College
involving a large white car with
a “for sale” sign in its’ window,

A meeting Monday morn-
ing between RCMP and Selkirk
College has brought - mutual
understanding following the

investigation of a large fight’

and some wilful damage which
occured on the college campus
during Friday's students dance.

As a result four young
Trail men were charged with
causing a, disturbance and wil-
ful damage.

Nelson Prepares to Bid
On B.C. Winter Games

Public support is building
as several community members
prepared to make a bid to bring
the British Columbia Winter
Games to Nelson in 1979.

‘The provincial government
will provide $180,000 for the
administration and operation of
the games to the city chosen,

However, all B.C. cities of
more than 10,000 population
have been invited to bid.

“has offered full use of its bus

service. As well, they have said
they are prepared to close the
schools down for two days to
allow games participants to use
the facilities,

David Thompson Univer-
sity Centre has given verbal
approval to the idea and White-
water Ski Area has also pledg-
ed its support.

eA heavy crop of berries

blue elderberry to provide J feed
for wintering birds,

e An early denning up of

In 1967 Dominic said he

had never seen so many yellow
leaves'so early and predicted a
disastrous winter.

the following year, after one of
the mildest winters on record,
Dominic said he never kept
track of his forecasts.

Student
Loans

Boosted

The maximum amount of
money available to an indivi-
dual under the British Colum-
bia Student Assistance Pro-
.gram has been increased by
$200, Education Minister Pat
McGeer announced Thursday of
last week.

Under the 1977-78 pro-
‘gram, a student with a demon-
strated need can receive up toa
total of $3,500 in federal loans
and provincial grants, com-
pared with $3,300 the previous
year, McGeer said.

He said on the basis of this
revision and because of a new
-assessment formula for provid-
ing funding for low-income par-
ents attending classes, the
ministry of education has bud-
geted for the provision of an
estimated $89.6 million in stu-
dent financial aid for 1977-78.
