Weather fees
likely here

By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN
Staff Writer
Most Castlegar residents phoning the airport
weather office for either pre-recorded or direct
information will probably pay a fee starting April 1,
according to an Environment Canada official.

However, we're not alone. The federal government
has decided that weather offices across Canada will
charge for weather information in a $1.3 million
cost-generating plan, said Paul Mitchell, regional infor-
mation director.

In an interview Friday from Vancouver, Mitchell
said the fee will apply to the general public, but those
requiring information for health or safety reasons, “such
as pilots, the media, fishermen, farmers” will pay no fee.

The federal government hasn't yet decided how the
fee will be collected, but Mitchell says one possibi
automatic phone charge similar to that for directory
assistance.

“We don’t really know, we're still investigating how
we might set up a system like that.”

There is a chance that Castlegar airport weather
office might not charge for information. Mitchell says
charging in less populous areas may not be “feasible”
because the offices get so few calls.

But the government hasn't yet decided which areas
will be exempt, Mitchell says.

He said the Vancouver airport weather office gets
3,000 calls a day for recorded weather messages, and 200
calls for direct information.

The federal government also hasn't determined how
much will be charged per call, although this information
will be available in early January.

Jim Fishwick, of the Castlegar airport weather office
said he hadn't heard anything about charging for weather
information here.

“That information has not filtered down to us from
Vancouver yet,” he said

Mitchell said separate weather observation and
briefing offices at Prince George, Port Hardy and Fort
Nelson will be consolidated into one at each location, to
save extra money on staffing and administration costs.

features a swastika and compares censorship supporters
with the rulers of Nazi Germany

A spokesman for the magazine said in an interview from
New York that seven Canadian newspapers were scheduled
to print the controversial advertisement, but interviews
with advertising representatives showed only the Sudbury
Star, Toronto Sun and Hamilton Spectator have run it.

The advertisement, which carries the headline Why Not
Let Somebody Else Think for You?, is signed by The
Coalition of Concerned Publishers, but the Penthouse
spokesman acknowledged it had been paid for by the
magazine.

Leslie Jay, a public relations officer with the magazine,
would not say who the other members of the coalition were
and said Penthouse will make no apologies for the ad. The ad
was prompted by a crackdown in several Canadian cities on
distribution of the December issue of Penthouse which
contained photographs of women who had been bound and
hung from a tree.

Several newspapers immediately rejected the adver.

Penthouse says agreed to run it have not yet printed the ad.

The Calgary Herald has yet to receive the ad, but says
now it will likely be rejected as a result of the controversy.
The Edmonton Journal also has not received the ad, but says
no decision has been made. And Pacific Press Ltd., which
owns the Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Province, has yet to
make a decision on whether to run the advertising and has
asked Penthouse to reveal who is in the coalition placing the
advertisement.

Sheila Finestone, federal Liberal critic on the status of
women, has said the federal government should launch a

Doukhobors dies

By CasNews Staff
Stefan Sorokin, spiritual
leader of the Christian Com-
munity and Brotherhood of
Reformed Doukhobors, died
Wednesday night in a
hospital in Spokane, Wash.
It is believed Sorokin, 83,
died of a heart attack or
stroke. Sorokin was known to
have had a heart condition
for a number of years.
Sorokin had been living
between Uruguay and
Canada since 1952, but had
spent most of the last 10
years in Canada, says local
anthropologist Mark Meal-
ing

Sorokin was born in the
Ukraine, but left the
country early in life, living in
many parts of
Europe before emigrating to
Canada in late 1949.

“He had at least Baptist
theological training in
Europe and felt a real need to
come and minister to the
Doukbobplrs,” Mealing said.

Sorokin visited communi-
ties in Saskatchewan and
Grand Forks. He was greeted
politely, but without great
interest.

But John Lebedoff, who
was leader of the Spiritual
Communities of Christ —
which at that time was a
major Sons of Freedom
faction — introduced Sorokin
to Sons of Freedom, says
Mealing.

Most Sons of Freedom
decided they wanted to have
Sorokin as spiritual leader
The term most often used to
refer to Sorokin was “pastor”

Lebedoff faded from the
picture between the late 50s
and early 60s.

Mealing said Sorokin's
influence had been such that
the majority of Sons of
Freedoms withdrew their
acts of burnings, bombings
and nudity — hence the name
Reformed Doukhobors.

Mealing says the Orthodox
Doukhobor movement
argues that many troubles
since Sorokin’s arrival are
attributed to him. But
Mealing says overall, his
leadership has been benefi
cial.

In the early 1950s the
Reformed Doukhobors began
searching for a place to
relocate, so that they could
start fresh, away from the
history and geography of the
West Kootenays.

STEPHAN SOROKIN
. dead ot 83

The Reformed Doukhobors
had planned to emigrate to
the Adams River Valley
north of Kamloops as a result
of an agreement struck with
the provincial
But a great deal of agitation
was caused in Kamloops and,
as a result, the government
backed out of the deal. ,

Sorokin then went to Uru-
guay in 1962 to investigate
the possiblity of Reformed
Doukhobors emigrating
there. Since then he has lived
in Montevideo, Uruguay and
in Canada.

“It was obviously conven.
ient for Sorokin to be there
(in Uruguay) part of the time
and acceptable to his
followers,” Mealing said.

“It kept alive the possibil
ity of an alternative.” During
his years spent in Uruguay
he was said to have amaased
an estimated $300,000.

The Freedomite population
is estimated between 2,000
and 2,500 today, the majority
of them Reformed. The
Orthodox Doukhobors has
more than 5,000 supporters,
but a smaller number of hard
core members.

Sorokin's survivors include
a wife who was living with
him in Krestova at the time
of his death, and a son,

But beginning in March 1985 the government will

Currently, the government pays 60 per cent of the

African aid

OTTAWA (CP) — The government is contribut
ing an extra $7.5 million in humanitarian and food aid
to Ethiopia and setting up a $50-million special fund
for African aid, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark
has announced.

“I am deeply touched by the enormous response
of Canadians to the plight of the hungry in Ethiopia
and throughout the areas of Africa stricken by the
current drought,” Clark said in the Commons.

Tax help

OTTAWA (CP) — After announcing a crackdown
on income tax evaders earlier this week, Revenue
Minister Perrin Beatty has announced measures that
will make it easier for people to pay their taxes.

The measures range from extending to 30 days
the period taxpayers have to answer department
requests to expanding a Winnipeg pilot project for the
handicapped and hearing impaired

Earlier this week the revenue minister said he
was hiring the equivalent of 380 full-time tax collectors
to help recover an estimated $3.5 billion in unpaid
taxes. The cost of hiring these additional collectors is
about $10 million.

Looking at labor

OTTAWA (CP) Canada does not object in
principle to an investigation by the International
Labor Organization of alleged unfair labor practices by
the governments of British Columbia, Alberta,
Ontario and Newfoundland, says Labor Minister Bill
McKnight.

But whether the unusual request will be granted
depends on what the Geneva-based group wants to
study and how it proposes to go about its task, he told
reporters. The ILO proposal has yet to be forwarded
to Ottawa.

The organization is upset at measures taken by
the four provinces to withdraw or weaken collective
bargaining rights granted to their employees in the
1960s and 1970s. Five separate laws are involved, two
in Alberta and one each in the other three provinces.

Abortion laws

OTTAWA (CP) — Canada’s abortion laws should
be changed to reflect the decisions by four separate
juries which have acquitted Dr. Henry Morgentaler
on abortion charges, New Democratic Leader Ed
Broadbent said

“Clearly juries across the country have come

Broadbent said in a weekend interview with §

“They are indicating that the law of Canada

SERVE AND PROTECT

The plan to reduce the $10.2-billion-a-year cost of the
unemployment insurance program follows the spirit of
the police motto — to serve and protect.

The “employment assistance and entitlement” pro-
gram will try to serve some of the country’s 1.3 million
unemployed by giving them help in finding jobs and will
attempt to protect the system ,by ensuring that only
those entitled to receive benefits do so.

Bu the emphasis will be on protection, says Yvon
Charlebois, executive director of insurance with the
Canada Employment and Immigration Commission.

About 60 per cent of the program will focus on
intensifying “our scrutiny, if you will, of people who are
on claim to determine what kind of effort they have in
fact made to find a job, if at all, and that is likely to result
in some people being disentitled or cut off,” he said.

The other 40 per cent of the program will be to

MORE PROCESSING

Waterland said the goal of both the government and the
industry is to increase the amount of processing done in the
province.

“But at the same time we have to recognize the difficult
small forest

economie circumstances our large and
companies are facing,” he said
“Equally important is the need to maintain the

thousands of logging, transportation and other related jobs
which the additional logging activity is providing at this
time.”

Under the new policy, companies will only be able to
export raw saw and peeler logs from hemlock-balsam stands

if they can prove that the costs of harvesting the stand can
be justified only by the premium prices paid for the logs to
be exported.

The Council of Forest Industries of B.C. said Water
land's announcement is “an attempt to bring needed
management to that sensitive issue.”

But the council does not like the delay of only one year
before full implementation.

One year is not enough to carry out the needed
modifications and new plant construction, the council said in
a news release.

“Given the extremely critical economic state of the
industry it is unlikely the necessary capital can be assembled
and the work carried out in that brief span of time.”

Export will be permitted if the logs come from remote
areas that cannot be harvested economically. Such areas will
be designated as rehabilitation forests and the premier log
export price will pay for forest rehabilitation work

Export permits also will be granted if the logs are
species which must be harvested as part of other logging.

manufacturing facilities exist in the province

Waterland also announced that the export of cypress
logs will stop at the end of this month.

EXPORTS UP

Sinee 1975, when the Social Credit government took
over from the NDP, log exports as hare of the province's
annual allowable cut have grown steadily to 3.2 per cent in
1983 from less than one per cent

In 1982, there were 1,014 export applications, 828
approved and 474 resulted in logs being shipped out

Under current policy, applicants for log exports first
have to show that the logs are surplus to domestic
requirements by advertising in local newspapers.

If no appropriate bids are received, the company then
may apply for an export permit. The applications are
reviewed by the log export advisory committee, and
forwarded to the minister for approval

VANCOUVER (CP) — Just over 39,000 people beat
it down to B.C. Place Stadium Friday night for the first of

the “milk and cookies tour of 1964,” but it hasn't just

One of the B.C. Place ushers described the audience
