Christensen says that la- borers in the Kootenays — half of whom are unemployed — are especially deserving of the increase. “Construction workers: on average in B.C. are only working a maximum of 8'/z months a year because of economic and climatic rea- sons. In our region — in the Kootenays — you can shave another month off because there is no work. It’s as simple as that. “They've got to make in 7% months, in this area, what the factory workers, industrial workers and public workers make in 12 months,” he said.

Panelist Hiya Tolstoy,-a professor at: Moscow State University and master of the Russian language, set the tone for the panel discussion as he told of how proud he was to be the great-grandson of the famous Russian writer. Tolstoy went on to explain how important it was for the Canadian Doukhobors to keep their Russian language intact. He said there is no national language in the USSR because each republic has its own distinct mother tongue. He said the influence of each of these languages threatens to erode the Rus- sian language.

Mail subscription rates will also be increased. Due to postal increases for mailing newspapers — which took effect on April 1 — the mail subscription rate for the Castlegar News will now be $26 a year. However, since the post. office charges more for delivering papers where it has carrier service, the mail subscription rate in communities such as Castlegar and Trail where there are letter carriers will be $30 a year. of Nelson and Trail — which make up 40 per cent of the centre's membership — only contri- bute about $700 between them, said Bloom in an inter- view Thursday. And the three school boards contribute nothing to 2. the centre — although they benefit most from the cen- tre’s services. “It's not that the people are antagonistic, it's just that they don't really think that much about the problem,” Bloom said. The centre, which was built on the 18-acre Doukho- bor Village site about eight years ago, is d by the ciety. But is has been funded mostly by. the federal and provincial governments - through Canada Council, Na- tional Museums of, Canada and B.C. Museum Associ-- ation grants.

But okay, let’s be generous and say a 30 per cent cut.” Bloom is also concerned that in an austerity bid, the federal and provincial gov- ernments will refuse funding unless it is matched by funds from the surrounding muni- cipalities. “As they tighten down, they've frozen it (the fund- poge As Sun didn't shine on this GRAND FORKS (CP) — * The sun was shining in this The increases are the first in nearly 2% years for the ‘\ Castlegar News (a 5 cent-a+ -month increase earlier this year vente entirely to sarrieny: CasNews p Burt conclusion,” he said, pointing * out that 95 per cent of ‘all cacapbal said, “The subscription rates don't even cover the raw materials, let alone the people's cost of producing the C News.” District Council of Carpen- ters,. said even though the 72-hour strike notice ended Friday, that doesn’t mean there will be a strike. contract are set- tled without a strike..
