Some may very well be reputable businessmen, but others have been classified by professionals as ‘fly-by- nighters.. The Professional Photographers Association of B.C. claims that their members, with established studios in the community, do not need to resort to door-to-door sales. If you are dealing with an itinerant photographer, make sure you protect yourself through the following steps: 1) Ask to see his member- ship cards to both the pro- vineial and Canadian profes- sional photographers’ associa- tion. 2) Ask to see his business license. Check with your local Business Licensing office to find out how long the license is valid for and whether he is bonded. (Look under “G” for “Governments” in the tele- phone directory for either City Hall or Regional District, whichever applies.) 3) Phone the Better Busi- ness Bureau for a reputation rating (their toll-free number, 112-800-663-3145, is listed in the directory under “B"). The extra time needed for these checks is Bride-Elect Honored With Surprise Shower — The home of Mrs, Lynn DaRosa of Castlegar was the setting for a surprise shower last Wednesday evening for bride-elect Miss Jocelyn Dmy- truk, whose marriage to Archie Stewart will be taking place Oct. 7. Upon her arrival, the honoree was presented with a corsage of blue-tinted carna- tions, while Mrs. Dmytruk received a white carnation cor- sage and the groom's mother, a coral carnation. Bridesmaid ‘Miss Fiona Stewart assisted the bride-to-be with the opening of the many gifts. Each guest also brought along a bottle of spice, to start the new bride in her culinary endeavors. Games were played and prizes won by Mrs. Dmytruk, Vicar Tests Flock’s Faith Congregation members at Miss Penny Fry, Miss Sally Johnson and Mrs, M. Hipwell. Refreshments were served along with a cake inscribed “Congratulations Jocelyn.”” Hostesses for the evening were Mrs. DaRosa and Miss Penny Fry. worth it; the photographer can always be asked to return to close the sale. 4) Ifyou do decide to enter . into a contract for an appoint- ment, make sure there is a written contract that states who, when, where and how much... and that you have your own copy of it. Make sure the contract includes both a local and a permanent address of the photographer as well as the name and address of the film processor where he will be sending your negatives to be developed. Make sure a specific date for delivery of your por- traits is given. 5) Do not pay in full in advance. Do not pay in cash. If a deposit is required (10 per cent is, recommended), try to post-date your cheque for your appointment date. Pay your balance only when your finish- ed portraits are received. “You have seven days to cancel a door-to-door sales con- tract, but if the photographer can't be located, your can- cellation privileges won't help. So don’t just watch the birdie; keep an eye on your wallet too.

One of the first to be introduced would probably be an intensive six-week practice teaching course in this region under the supervision of 20 area teachers, Petch said. The program also would enable education students studying in Victoria to practise teaching under different conditions, he said. - Also proposed for the area inthe with Selkirk College, UVic faculty have become “very excited” with the proposed offering of programs which would lead to a master of fine arts degree, he said. He said UVic fine arts faculty have proposed offering six courses in theatre and visual arts during “very inten- sive" programs during June, July and August and develop- ment of a winter program “as the demands warranted.” “We think this is a par- ticularly good area for it because the Kootenay School of Art is in Nelson and has been successful,” Petch said. “And there seems to be quite an interest in the East and West Kootenays in various art forms.” ~ - In addition, he said, fine arts program enrolment -at UVic will be “strictly limited” in future and will not be able to the number of “BC.

Forecasting Commission tells * “quite a-different story” from the statements made in the news media and by Education Minister Pat McGeer in the past year.

He said many teachers in| the Vancouver and Victoria areas—often wives whose hus- bands work in those areas— cannot move and are not going to supply the needs of other centres in B.C. Based on the 30-per-cent figure the forecast shows there will be a shortage of elementary school teachers in B.C. next year and a shortage of secondary school teachers in 1982, he said, The result of the misin- formation—including “speeches from the education minister himself"—is that enrolment in first-year education programs and ‘the: pi He: uni: ~versities has dropped, Petch said. a ~ “I must admit I resent this,” he said. “What we're doing is directing: our own young people out of the pro- fession and then importing people to fill up the gaps.” university transfer program in education at Selkirk, said he was convinced there is a need “for. educating teachers in an area where they're needed” rather than training them in Vancouver or Victoria, Harry Osachoff wishes to announce the opening of his Registered Massage Therapy Services OPENING MONDAY, OCTOBER 2 Room 200, 507 Baker St, Nelson, B.C.

"And that may be the first question to which we have to get an answer.” “In any case it seems our task at the moment is to get a description of the program pinned down," Buckley con- tinued. "Then go after answers to the questions as to who the funding authority will be, and press as soon as possible for an agreement that the program should be mounted.” The chairman said council would be “hung up with some delay” in financing for the pro- gram the amount of funding available will not be deter- mined until the approval of budget estimates after debates in the legislature next spring. “But surely we ought to be able to get an indication from the ministry that yes, they do support the idea or no, they. do not support the ides,” he said. After receiving an indica- tion of support from the minis- try the college and University of Victoria should pursue such matters as publicity, student and staff recruiting and pro- gram development, Buckley said. But in the meantime, he added, council should “start using political leverage to get some policy answers,” The college council chair- man said the proposed program is consistent with Education Minister Pat McGeer's state- ments favoring making uni- versity completion programs available in the B.C. interior. “TI see no sign that there is a negative approach to the idea,” he said. “The ministry has just shown its usual struc- each, installed *PIBS/75R13- Replaces BA78-13 REPLACES: seray tire Get fong tire mileage, improved ; fuel economy with steel belted P22S/75R1S a parish church called police when they found a man dressed as the devil at the church doors, The man was the church vicar, who explained that he “wanted to test my people .. . to see if the devil could indeed scare them off.” Formula Haircolor “student numbers, although Assorted colors Herbal Essence Shampoo Normal/Dry or Oily 350ml radials for light trucks CUSTOM FLEXSTEEL™ RADIAL see_[pty| price] 8 {5 sa70looonies| 10 srizo0] [s 20,70{s7sn165{ 10 | [$121.90] 8 |s ss.solesonses| 10 [$139.10 Shoe Repair Playtex Tampons ve Ss or D. : ° R : | — Guitar Crest Toothpaste } Instruction 100m!
