Sept. 7: A New Dawn

Good morning.

This is the firat issue of the ‘‘new”’
Castlegar News — your old friend with the
brand-new look.

And we hope you're going to like what
you find as you peruse our pages.

Wo know: there will be lots of questions
about the canary d we've to
adopted as our distinctive color. And there
will likely be other questions about the
retirement of the ‘Early Bird’? logo that will
appear for a white yet on our street-bench
advertising and on the T-shirts of our
carrlers. :

So... an explanation:

To put It simply, we've done all of this
— added new features, cartoons, page
design and colored newsprint — for you.

In creating the ‘‘new'' Castlegar News,
we've followed the most Important guldeline
of all: the Interests and reactions of our
readers. Over a period of time many of you
have told us about the things you've enjoyed
and would Ilke to see, and we've Incorpor-
ated many of them Into our new format.

The result is a newspaper with a clean,
crisp, visually appealing new layout and
style. You'll find it easier to read through, or
to find the sections In which you are
specifically interested.

Of course, we've retained the most
popular features and columns of the ‘‘ald"”
Castlegar News, and we will continue to
provide you with the sharp, thorough
coverage of local news you've come to -
expect bright and early Thursday mornings.

postpone a referendum on the Issue until a
much later date.

The directors rejected this idea and
voted In favor of holding a referendum in

But we've added many new features —
including Home on the Range with Susan
Mackintosh, Interior Tips with Lin Krause,
the wit of Erma Bombeck and the acerbic
humor of The Byrds and the Blerman Bite —
that reflect your lifestyle and interests.

There are more things to entertain you,
you and to make the Castlegar
News more valuable to you throughout the
week. The all-new TV Week section will give
you an up-to-date gulde to television
Programming and Stella Wilder's Your Stars
This Week will help you chart your own
astrological course.

Also Introduced to our pages are those
extra touches you won't consclously notice
but which improve overall appearance and

three decades of serving the community.

So the changes you see In this
newspaper have not been made lightly,
arbitrarily or for gimmickry. Our goal Is
simply to Increase our service to you with a
brighter, more rewarding publication.

Excited? We are.

We value our special place In the life of
this area and we're grateful for the support
of more than 4,000 loyal families every
Thursday. These changes are our way of
thanking you for that support.

Canada has the option open under the

acre feet of water annually from the

Treaty until 1984 to divert up to 1.5 million,

conjunction with the fall elections.

We are extremely pleased to see that
they made this decision. It will give
everyone a chance to volce his or her opinion
on the proposed scheme at this time. If an
overwhelming negative vote is recorded,
which we fully expect, then the pollticlans
and B.C. Hydro will most certainly be
obliged to take another look at the proposed
scheme. ;

if we really need to exercise that option or
not.

B.C. Hydro’s mandate to construct
power projects and divert rivers where and
when it pleases must be questioned. We
must demand a moratorium on all proposed
projects until a full public inquiry is held Into
the mandate of B.C. Hydro.

Scientists studying Kootenay Lake have given it a clean bill of health and an encouraging outlook

for the future.

couver Province.)

SOMEHOW, IT IS DIFFI-
cult to be impressed by the first
batch of federal government
spending cuts announced by
Treasury Board President Ro-
bert Andras,

There is no evidence in
anything Mr. Andras said that
the government has made a
serious effort to examine its
operations, reduce fat and im-
prove efficiency. Instead, it
seems that Prime Minister Tru-
deau, in his recent television
address, took his colleagues by

surprise with his
ment that there would be a
$2-billion cut in federal spend-
ing and Mr. Andras had to
seurry around looking for
things to cut.

MR. ANDRAS _ DE-
scribed the cuts as “strong
medicine" but said they were
“needed to help restore the
economy to its full health and
potential.” In fact, they fit into
neither category.

Some of the cuts involve
the government's old trick of
reducing “planned  expendi-
tures.” This means the depart-
ment or agency invelved won't
be spending any less than it has
been but that it will be denied
the funds for some future pro-
jects it had in mind. Depending
on the circumstances, that can

weekly Creston Review.)

JUST HOW MUCH IN-
put from the provincial and
national bar associations goes
into legislation which affect our
daily lives would be interesting
to know?

The recent leak attributed
to Canadian bar association
officials of a proposal to have
Canada do away with the
monarchy, has raised the
hackles of many Canadians, but
more so to those members of
the bar association who were
never canvassed for any opin-
ion on the matter and who were
never aware the move was
planned.
