From working with scrub board and broom, the average housewife has come to expect refrigerator, washer-dryer, vacuum cleaner, electric carving knife and a score of other conveniences, not to mention a 101 “instant” foods. : Don't get me wrong. I'm appreciative of our improved standard of living. But let's quit complaining about how hard- done-by we are. The simple fact is’ that our greeds often far ‘exceed our needs. Let's face it, with a few exceptions, we could live as we ‘lived 30 years ago—and bank the rest. ‘Astartling fact came out of Statistics Canada recently {which pointed out that more ‘immigrants got established in homes faster than the average Canadian. Why? They are not paid more. They do have different priorities. They are willing to make. sacrifices in order to attain their goals. While most of us complain © about mortgage rates, we re- fuse to give up that second car, camper, boat, beer, nights at GI Exceeds Our Needs the race track or sweepatake tickets, In short, we want to eat our cake and keep it at the same time. Having satisfied all our greeds, we cry poverty because we didn’t leave enough to take care of our needs. Try it some time with your budget. List your needs in 1946 as against your needs of 1976. The closer you can bring the two lists together, the closer you will be * to having money in the bank. Of course, if you insist upon maintaining the standard of living you have today, you might as well get used to going ‘on strike for more money and driving up the cost of the luxuries you have come to take for granted, That Sinking Fe (THISiaatimeof year when a lot of school teachers get a sinking feeling, All year they have been laboring in the fairly barren vineyards of their students, sustained by the knowledge that there is still time to produce a two, and maybe even enough ipes to make some kind of.

After that, he said, they will be expected to find employ- ment or be sent home. A staff directive, designed mainly to deal with an expected influx of youth for the United Nations Habitat conference in Vancouver, states‘ that- from April 1 to Sept. 90 all travelling youths up to 25 years old will be referred to hostels and not given any additional welfare benefits. Several new hostels and. private homes in the Fraser Valley will be used to house the travellers, he said. The Heat SPECIAL is on! stud id the golden tule. i It's a world in which the rip-off is admired, on the whole. They see unions ripping off management, management ripping off the consumer, everybody trying: + torip off the government. So why not rip off the school system? It's the bi r of all. Bum's Rush The minister, however, was unclear on exactly what his department will do with tran- sients after three days in. a hostel. Regular transportation will likely be established to the American border at Blaine, Wash., he. said, although’ he denied a suggestion that Amer- ican youths might be deported with no money to support themselves. The human resources de- partment will transport Ameri- ean. youths to Canadian immi- gration authorities at Blaine and let the immigration officers deal with’ them, Mr. Vander Zalm said. . Canadian immigration au- thorities should follow the example of their American counterparts, he said, and ensure transients have enough money to support themselves before they are allowed to come into the country. The minister also said he will speak with Canadian immi- gration officials about tighten- ing their screening ‘of tran- sients. . Mr. Vander Zalm said his department will set up a job-finding scheme for youths during their three-day stay in the hostels, but he did not say what will happen if no jobs are found. He indicated the youths might be sent home, but admitted it would be a difficult policy to enforce and said he did not intend to’ use vagrancy laws. Similar hostels may be set eling is Here Again It's a world in which the media pander to the bizarre and violent.

Which sunglasses are best? According to the BCAA, op- thalmologists recommend dis- tortion-free gray or green lenses, which transmit less than 25 per cent of the available light to the eyes. A further note: never wear sunglasses while driving at night. 3 Castlegar, Previous experience an asset, Please apply, giving resume of qualifications and past employment to Box No. 3007A; Castlegar Nows, Castlegar, B.C. : 1-22 "ANNUAL MEETING Castlegar & District ARTS COUNCIL SELKIRK COLLEGE: Manday, May 31 7:30 p.m. Performance by VIVIENNE ROWLEY PIANIST “"RockyMont Studio sot WM oe Le SO@OR 00, 0000 0000 30 ff =\oo00 9000 PHY, —Z A Professional Recording Studio - now based In the Castlegar Area BOOKING NOW.

"It keeps me young and from rusting away in the chimney corner of my home." Position of Canadian Gov't. Father Bud Godderis, a well-known Castlegar resident, is presently in Nairobi, Kenya ‘as one of a team of 10 Canadian observers of the UNCTAD IV conference which will be in session until the cnd of May. ‘The role of the observers is ‘to analyze and report on the conference, ‘with special em- phasis and altention beinjg given to the Canadian govern- ment's participation. his conference on trade and development is attempting to effect fundamental changes in world trading structures so as to enable: Third World countries to become more able to take their place in the world, Their slogan “Trade -Not Aid" perhaps best sums up the aims of many participants in this gathering. According to the analysis of the observers, the Canadian xovernment's position is disap- pointingly weak. In fact, it is reliably reported that a speak- ‘er who ‘followed Mr. Mac- Eachen {n the opening address- es to the delegates departed from his prepared text to refer to the “archaic comments” made’ that”’ day—an’ obvious reference to Mr. MacEachen’s insistence on development as- sistance (Aid) rather than on a determination to change trad- ing structures. Canada, so far, has refused to do anything but “consider” supporting a common fund to enable Third World countries toassemble buffer stocks which would: assist them in obtaining more dependable prices for their commodities, This is In sharp contrast lo Norway, Finland, Netherlands: and the Philippines and others who have already pledged ft support, The fund woul Canada something like 3 per cent of ils ald budget, Mr. MacEachen's’ speech was full of generalities and promises to “look at, consider and examine,” He had nothing new to offer on debt relief—yet Canada yearly banks $25.9 million in debt service pay- ments from its poorest “most seriously affected” ereditors— many of whom had- to “buy Canadian" in order to yel any assistance al all. Transnational . corpora- tlons, control of natural re- sources, and an inercased role for the Third World in the financial institutions of the world—all went “unnoticed in Mr, MacEachen’s specch. The Canadian observers concluded that Mr. . Mac- Eachen’s failure to identify Canada's interests in gaining more control over our own natural resources is in line with the actual model of Canadian _ Is Disappointingly Weak however, favor a model of self-reliant development based on the use of natural resources to meet the human needs of the lweal population, Seeretary of State Henry Kissinger also made a speech to the UNCTAD conference. He ignored almost totally the pro- posals of the ‘Third World delegates and the framework of the New Economle Order and instead threw in his own suggestions and solutions, This lacie serves the purpose of delaying progress and stalling, the meetin, as delegates must spend many hours analyz- ing all the new material, Tt was’ felt that if Dr. Kissinger had been truly con- cerned, he would have sub- mitted his. proposals monthe ago for preliminary discussion and study. In the opinion of the observers Dr. Kissinger was. there as a representative of US business ‘interests—particular- ly of the transnational corpora- tions, His plan, which includes the formation of yet another resource bank, would compel countries to’ surrender. control over their natural resources to an ‘alien: authorily (the new “bank) tied to the interests of resource Pp This model encourages dependency on raw materials exports con- trolled by transnational corpor- ations.
