Hair length can be a safety
problem in a pulp mill. Most
mill managers in B.C. try to
save employees from harm by
issuing hair nets to workers
with long hair.

Herb Pugsley, steam and
recovery superintendent at Ca-
nadian Cellulose, goes one
better. He recently offered
Craig Schellenberg, Utility
Man, $10 for the privilege of
cutting his Mowing locks. Craig
thought he was joking but
when Herb showed up with
scissors, clippers and a $10 bill,
Craig, like Samson of old, had
to honor his part of the bargain.

Craig,.after it was all over,
was heard to comment: “It was
a pretty sad job. I had to spend
$3 of the $10 to get the mess
straightened out.”

This announcement fulfills
Mr. Barrett's long-promised
statement on government plans
for reducing. the impact on

ists of d' gasoline

work on a series of province-
wide flat-rate basic premiums,
to eliminate differences in rates

for basic insurance. He said,

later’ ‘this sytem is to be
introduced by next March..

“Differences in premiums
based on such ‘things as terri.
tories, use of vehicle, number,
age and sex of drivers should-be

eliminated,” Mr. Barrett said. :

He said it is not yet known how
far the new revenues will
‘permit Autoplan to go in this
respect, but the ICBC has
‘Instructions “to wipe out or
reduce as many differences, as

sible.” Mr. Barrett said this
will:mean sSenileant premidi

prices.

“The government plans to
offset the increase. in gasoline
prices by allocating funds now
collected: through taxation to
reduce the cost of insurance
coverage which has always
been a large part of operating a~
motor vehicle,” Mr. Barrett
said. g

“This will be accomplished
by ‘assigning “some of the
revenues from ‘the existing
gasoline tax and licence plate
fees to insurance. purposes,
thus slashing the cash premium
for it insurance next year for’ all
cars.”

Mr. Barrett sald that the
ICBC _has.been instructed to

in such
areas ‘as the north and the
Interior, who have been victims
of “the unfair rating system for
basic insurance that we in-
herited from private industry.”

Mr. Barrett said the gen-
eral taxpayers of the province
will not be subsidizing Auto.
plan. He said revenues “will
involve those taxes and fees
paid only by the motoring
jublic.”

| He said the funding of
‘Autoplan through gasoline tax
will mean, in effect, that
motorists will pay more into the
insurance fund ‘the: more they.
drive and the more gasoline
they. use.) >
