Legislative Library. varliament Bldgs., S01 Belleville st Victoria, B. C. OTTAWA (CP) — Gary McCauley says children of tomorrow could face a motherless future and wind up searching for the past. As the new champion for Canadian children, MeCaul- ey, 47, has a particular in- terest in the ethics of modern motherhood. The former Liberal MP for Moncton, N.B., was recently named president of the Can- adian’ Institute of Child Health. He succeeded Shirley Post, a nurse and spunky lobbyist who tackled eVery- thing from better maternity care to safer playgrounds. McCauley; an Anglican minister who sat in the Com- mons from 1979 to 1984, brings a different touch, to the job. The Ottawa-based institute is basically an ad- vocacy group for children. Now it’s possible for a child to have as many as three mothers or five parents de- pending on how a birth is ar- ranged, he said in a recent interview. “What is that doing to a child’s head? How will a child feel if he finds out his (bio- logical) mother sold him for $10,000?” The ethics of technical hu- man reproduction, such as artificial insemination, test- tube fertilization and surro- gate mothering have only Loto numbers The $1-million winning numbers in Sunday's Super Loto lottery draw were 1625325 and 2468754. The $500,000 winning num- ber in Friday's Provincial lottery draw is 5316140. The winning numbers for the Lotto West — The Pick draw Friday were 3, 6, 26, 43, 45, 49, 53 and 56. The winning numbers for the Lotto West — The Pick draw Monday were 5, 9, 10, 25, 27, 37, 45 and 54. In the event of a discrep- ancy between any of the numbers above and the offi- cial winning numbers list, the latter shall prevail.

SEES TROUBLES “You know, having kids is a mess,” says McCauley, married with three children ‘between Tt an ee 20 Yours Ora “It’s morning sickness and stretch marks afterwards. What's to sop Mary and George from sitting down and saying, ‘Let's rent a womb,’ and they do it. “But what are they going to do if the product of this compact is not the perfect yuppie child?” McCauley says technology has galloped too far ahead and left society at the start- ing gate gasping for air. “We're facing a future of motherless children who are a long way from home in the sense of knowing who they are and where they came from.” Beyond that is his concern about day care. He ‘supports the recom- mendation of the Canadian Day Care Advocacy Associ- ation that the federal -gov- ernment should spend $414 million on operating grants for new day-care facilities, rather than paying it directly: to parents through tax cred) its as urged by the parlia-’ mentary committee on child care. McCauley says he took the job because he's got a lot to offer.

Children are a case in point.” McCauley wants to stren- gthen the institute's existing programs, such as maternity and childbirth care which is aimed at reducing the risks of infant handicaps. “I think we should be very involved in child care. The issue is seen as a women's issue, but it's also a children's issue and who is speaking up on behalf of children?” Statistics show the number of children living in poverty has jumped by 35 per cent since 1980, McCauley says.

He said the premier was so disturbed by his inability to solve the four-month Inter: national Woodworkers of America strike last year during the provincial election campaign that he is now determined to prevent any similar strike action in the province. Titsworth also said that all of the previous amendments made to Bill 19 were merely the government admit ting it had made serious blunders when drafting the legislation. TWO EMPTY HERBICIDE BOXES FOUND By ANTOINETTE HALBERSTADT The small print on the two empty boxes found in a South Slocan ditch where children play reads: “Destroy containers when empty. Do not reuse. Do not contaminate any body of water. Do not use on locations where product may be washed into streams, lakes or other bodies of water. May result in bare ground and subject the soil to erosion. Keep out of reach of children. Winlaw meeting, 83 Harmful if swallowed. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. In case of contact wash skin with soap and water, flush eyes with copious amounts of water.” The boxes are dated 7/12/85 Tom Lucas, who lives near the ditch alongside the South Slocan bridge, saw the Spike 80W boxes there last fall and thought nothing of it until last week when he read the newspaper publication of CP Rail's permit to spray the pesticide Spike 80W along its tracks. Lucas and neighbor Jim Halliday removed the containers so as not to further contaminate the eight children who regularly play in that area The Ministry of Environment's spills and dangerous goods division advised Halliday to keep the containers in double garbage bags until they are collected and “safely” disposed of. Inquiries of the Vancouver office of the Ministry's Pesticides Control Branch revealed that CP Rail and the Ministry of Highways are the only ones issued permits to spray in the area since 1985, along with Western Weed Control in the Grand Forks area and RIVA Industries Ltd., along the Columbia Natural Gas line The Highways Ministry says it has only sprayed atrazine in the area between Nelson and Castlegar in the past two years, and that it uses mechanical methods of brush control in the Slocan Valley. J.D. Bower, public relations officer for CP Rail in Vancouver, said he knows “as a fact, that the longest time ago would have been in 1984-85,” and that there's a “possibility” that spraying was done there in 1986. The Pesticide Control Branch in Penticton, whose duty it is to monitor applications in this area, will be further investigating this matter, inspector Bev Muir said. She explained that their staff does on-site monitoring of applications such as aerial spraying or situations where there is a particular water, wildlife or whatever.” ‘concern about
