Susan D'Andrea and Pat
Bingley have been hired to
research Trail and Castlegar
so that a new employment
program can be set up for
women.The program will be
funded by the federal Min-

Immigration and will be
similar to Nelson's successful
program, WomenWorks.

This new project will be a
separate one, however, and
Bingley and D'Andrea are
looking for women in Trail
and Castlegar to serve on an
advisory committee which
will likely administer the
project.

YUPPIES THINK
TWICE IN WAKE
OF STOCK DROP

TORONTO (CP) — The latest black joke making the
rounds on Bay Street: What do you call a yuppie stock-
broker? Hey, waiter.

Things might not be as bad as that, but certainly
some stockbrokers and their clients are feeling the pinch
‘as international stock markets scramble to recover from
the crushing losses they've seen.

While yuppies — previously upwardly-mobile pro-
fessionals — aren't yet willing to scrimp on some of the
finer things in life such as exotic foods, wines and
jewelry, some are thinking twice about putting out
sizable chunks of money for a new Porsche or luxury
home.

A sales representative at Downtown Fine Cars said
the company has had a couple of buyers ask that sales be
put, on hold.

“We had one guy who was wiped out,” said the
representative. “He had a (Porsche) 928 on order. Now
he's got his house up for sale.”

‘The salesman said high-priced “toys” such as the 928,
which costs about $110,000, haven't been selling well
since the beginning of summer when federal Finance
Minister Michael Wilson announced a proposed ceiling on
income tax writeoffs.

RELUCTANT TO BUY

Although the legislation isn’t yet law, car buyers are
reluctant to purchase a car if they don't get the tax
writeoff, he said.

The stock market plunge has only made things
worse, the salesman said.

Real estate agent Philip Edwards said he had one
client back out of a $170,000 sale “even though he didn't
need any money from the stock market.”

“Some people are just going hysterical that way.”

Another potential sale — involving a $500,000 home
in downtown Toronto — was directly affected by the
stock market crash this week.

“The couple got up to the front door of this dream
home, turned to each other and said, ‘It’s a pity we lost
$26,000 in the stock market.”

Edwards said the couple may still buy the home, “but
it’s certainly slowed them down.”

‘The stock market apparently hasn't dampened
spending on food and liquor, however.

In the heart of Toronto's financial district, customers
at the posh restaurant Winston's became a curious
barometer of the mood on Bay Street.

Caterers and specialty wine and liquor stores said
they were as busy as ever, especially with the approach
of Christmas, although most thought it was too soon to
tell whether the crash would affect their business.

Spokesman at Creeds and Holt Renfrew, two of the
more expensive stores in Toronto, said people are buying
clothes at the same rate, while manager Nancy Davis at
European Jewellery said “business is booming.”

“I don’t know if that’s people trying to cover up, or
what. All I know is, that when I walked in Tuesday, I
was expecting it to be quiet and it wasn't.”

New de-icing

TORONTO (CP) — Road salt is widely used to melt ”

snow and ice, but its damaging effects on cars and the

Russ Smith, a researcher with the Roads and Trans
portation Association of Canada, says salt increases the
sodium concentration in water,

“That could be a big concern to rural areas tapping into
the ground for drinking water,” Smith says.

But Kirchner says Ontario won't rush to replace salt
until a suitable alternative is found.

While CMA looks hopeful, “we don't want to introduce a

. new chemical until we know its full impact” on the environ-

ment.
Another possible alternative is urea, a fertilizer which is
already being used to de-ice runways at airports, says

Urea doesn't melt snow as effectively as salt, but it
doesn’t corrosion. However, it acta as a fertilizer
and promote excessive growth and pollute water.

‘The city of Ottawa has been conducting tests with both
MA and sodium formate. Preliminary tests, conducted last
winter, indicate ‘that both chemicals are effective for
removing snow, city official John Simmonds says.

Sodium formate appears to melt snow faster than CMA,
he adds, But cost is again a big problem although manu-
facturers of sodium formate hope to bring the price down to
$300 a tonne.

Richard Godding, director of technical and travel
services at the Canadian Automobile Association, says salt
should be used until another method is found.

“We can’t just stop using salt because we've had a bad
situation with accidents,” he warns. “The public is not ready
to accept the highway slaughter out there.”
