VSH 2P9 Hair loss caused by disease MOSCOW (REUTER) — A mys tery disease is making children's hair fall out in the Ukrainian town of Chernovtsi, but doctors deny it is an after-effect of the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station 450 kilometres away. Chernovtsi health chief I. Penish kevich said in an interview with the newspaper Pravda Ukraini that 82 children were sent to hospitals suf. fering from hair loss and a disturbed nervous system, Penishkevich said the exact cause has not been identified, but that the disease seemed to be brought on by a chemical agent. “I can say, for exam. ple, that suspicions that it is due to or pesticides can be ex- SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES CASTLEGAR SAVINGS CREDIT UNION For All Your rFinioneciel @ Insurance Needs CASTLEGA SLOCAN PARK 601-torn Sr. 368-7292 Hwy. 6; Slocan Park All Sizes Available. 226-72 cluded.” Moffat Appliance © 23.5 cu. ft. e Automatic ice maker ¢ Exterior ice service Ice cubes — Crushed ice — Water in door « Freezer shelves ¢ Freezer basket © Freezer door shelves © Meat keeper ¢ Crisper Egg tray ° Full width cantilever glass Shales *2 doors ¢ Rollers e Almond Regular *2729.95 | es Yes. 6 cu ft Model MSC6S8 * Removable tray mectronic controls * Auto. time clock me of day clock © Time of day clock * Auto. start, auto, defrost * Removable tray * Temp cook * Defrost © One touch * Hold timer sue ; gy Reg. 269.95 emory entry s ALE.

Castlegar and District Hospital administrator Ken Talarico goes over plans for a 60-bed extension for the local hospital. inter d Engineering, design and construction consultants were on hand and extended-care to view the plans for the Extension studied By CasNews Staff The Castlegar and District Hos pital has started the initial “explor atéry” phase in its bid to add a 60-bed extension and a new dietary depart: ment to the existing hospital. Hospital administrator Ken Tal arico met with engineering, archi: tectural and construction consultants Tuesday to go over the hospital's ambitious $4.9-million expansion proposal “This is our inaugural - meeting,” Talarico told the Castlegar News. “The design’ team, along with the consultants, will be taken ona tour . . . So they can see exactly where it's going to go, what the present services are and how it's going to be integrated.” Talarico said the hospital has al- ready received a $350,000-“expansion budget” for the consulting groups to start designing the facility under all the government rules, regulations and funding guidelines. “Once all that takes place, then we're able to go to tender on the project,” he said. “That will probably be late spring.” Engineering and architechtural consultants viewed three different sketches of the proposed expansion, discussing water mains, gas lines and hospital boiler requirements as Tal arico pointed to the drawings on a board at the front of the room. The planned extension will close off 9th Avenue and will extend west, to the rear of Sam Konkin's service station on Columbia Avenue. The proposoed dietary wing will serve both the acute-care and the 60 intermediate and extended-care beds in the new wing. Twenty-five beds will be for extended care and 35 beds will be used for intermediate-care residents. “It's to meet the needs of the com. munity in the long-term care field,” Talarico said. “We hope to have the project ready for occupancy by the spring of 1990.” Free-trade deal collapse not as bad as predicted OTTAWA (CP) — Collapse of the free-trade deal with the United States would not be the disaster the Tories and some business groups claim, two major economic think tanks say. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Finance Minister Michael Wilson are both predicting disaster for the economy if the Conservatives don't get the majority they need in the Nov. 21 election to push the deal through. However, Gilles Rheaume, direc. tor of forecasting and analysis with the Conference Board of Canada, suggested Tuesday the sky won't fall if the trade deal isn't ratified by Canada. Rheaume said in an interview the dollar might weaken in the short term. “Except for the speculation on the foreign markets, I don't think it’s going to have a major impact in the short term.” And while Mulroney has been quoting Economie Council of Canada free-trade forecasts to sell the deal, the government advisory body states in its latest annual report that failure to proceed with the deal would not be disastrous. “The failure to reach a Canada Candida on this By CasNews Staff The four candidates for Koot enay West-Revelstoke will come under fire Sunday on a live tele. vision forum broadcast by Shaw Cable.

On Monday, the Conservatives reacted strongly to polls indicating that support for free trade had plunged. HAS WARNING Mulroney warned that entire towns and thousands of jobs could be in jeopardy if the government is defeated and the trade deal rejected. Wilson said the United States could tear up the auto pact in retaliation. Union leader Bob White said he has no fear the pact will be cancelled by the United States if Canada rejects the trade deal. The president of the Canadian Auto Workers union, which has 85,000 members in the auto industry, says it was absolute stupidity for Wilson to suggest such a possibility. “If I were a Michigan senator I would now be saying that even Can ada’s finance minister thinks the U.S. has a right to rip up the auto pac White said in an interview. A number of politicians in Michi. gan and other auto producing states have said they want changes to the agreement. Unique Business Opportunity!

Materials will be ordered immedi- ately with work scheduled to com- mence upon receipt of goods. The gix-month project should be com- pleted in March, 1989 when Cominco will be reimbursed for all relocation costs. “The completion of phase two will please the citizens of this city,” Howard Dirks, Minister of State for the Kootenays, gid in a prepared release. “And, of course, the need to complete the project is still a high priority. I am pleased to see that the Ministry of Transportation and High- ways is committed to bring it to a swift conclusion.” To date, $6.3 million has been spent on property acquisition, land surveys and site preparation of the West Trail Approach. Forestry ads too one-sided By CasNews Staff and News Services Advertisements about forestry in British Columbia are too one-sided and there should be similar spots on television outlining another view about the province's forests, a South Slocan forestry consultant says. Herb Hammond says the Forests Forever ads — which are sponsored by forest companies across the prov- ince — are one-sided and show the forest companies’ viewpoint only. Hammond believes there should be an opportunity for other views on forestry to be presented, but the CBC turned down a pro-environmen. tal ad recently. “If they (CBC) condone to run the Forests Forever advertisements, then they have a social responsibility to run an ad presenting the other side of it,” Hammond said. But a day-by-day review of forest industry advertisements will be con- ducted by the CBC and could result in the 30-second pro-industry spots being withdrawn from the air. Richard Chambers, CBC's director of public relations, said the CBC has been forced to review its airing of the Forests Forever commercials after refusing to run an ad questioning the validity of the industry messages. “We're monitoring the situation daily as to whether the messages in and of themselves are becoming a matter of controversy,” he said, adding the commercials will be with drawn if they are found to be “an influencing factor in a matter of public importance.” The CBC policy is to reject con troversial ads — defined as “a matter of public interest about which is significant difference of opinion, and which is, or is likely to be, the subject of public debate,” Chambers said. Despite a public opinion poll taken this summer which showed 65 per cent of the respondents in favor of the environmental position and 35 per cent in favor of industry, the CBC ran the Forests Forever ads and re- jected the environmental ads be. cause they were too “controversial.” While the CBC is still running the Forestry Forever ads and has yet November 2, 1988 AS (§ CASTLEGAR SAFEWAY Frying Chicken Pacific Halibut Fresh Bananas Fresh ¢ Whole * Grade A or Utility 3 Per Bag ¢ Limit 2 Bag with fas Family Puschase Minimum $1.94 1.5. 88 17° Cold Water ¢ In-the-Piece * Previously Frozen /100 g.
