Overrule decision

Health Minister Jim Nielsen
should overrule a decision of the
B.C. College of Dental Surgeons
‘refusing to permit a dentist to be
employed by a private health cen-

re.

CU&C Health Services Society,
one ofthe two largest non-profit
private insurers in B.C.,-wants to
hire a dentist for a proposed health
centre scheduled to be opéned late
next year in either Trail or the
Lower Mainland.

The clinic is to be set up by CU&C
with the aim of demonstrating to
the health ministry, health
professionals and the general
public that health costs can be con-
trolled without limiting the number
of doctors or introducing user fees.

Its first clinic, opened two years
ago in Vancouver, employs three
salaried doctors providing the full
range of general practitioner ser-
vices. :

A CU&C Spokesman accused the
college of acting out of vested
economic interests rather than in
the public interest. The college “is
the most powerful -business
association in*this province,” said
CU&C general manager David
Schreck. "We have to ask whether
it is there to protect the public and
regulate the profession or... to
keep fees as high as possible.”

CU&C wants to include a dentist
in the Trail/Lower Mainland cen-
tre, noting the first two clinics are
merely jal steps in a proposed
20-year plan to reduce the profit
motive in health care. Schreck

Arrow Lakes News, Nakusp
Thursday, July 19, 1945

For five successive summers, the
women of Nakusp have labored over a
- hot stove making jam for Britain, each

= year_exceeding the amount made the
“previous year, until. last year the
grand total of over a ton of jam was
made. Only three centres in B.C.
exceeded this amount.

Seventy tons of jam was shipped
overseas last year from B.C. and this
year the quota is set for 60 tons. Jam
making on such a scale is a hard job
and usually falls on a limited number of
faithful workers, so this year, the local
Red Cross decided to send a cash
donation and the jam will be made at a
factory in Vancouver for 25 cents a
pound.

emen's Institute is organizing
a town canvass and if €a wo
give a small donation a fairly large
amount of jam can be sent. Thus every
woman in the community will do a
small share instead of-a few doing a
large share.

The decline in community in-
volvement is believed to be a fairly
recent happening. As-our society
has become more and -more af-
fluent, and as a ‘modern-day

Thordarson suggests the way
around the problem, without the

lease it, at a subsidized rate if
necessary, to a dentist in private
practice. 35

Responding that the college

Editor, Castlegar News:

Do we value our youngsters’ lives in
Castlegar?

I'was appalled as I sat watching the
parade on Columbia Avenue Saturday
morning. As the parade proceeded
down Columbia Avenue on one side of
‘the street, the other side was made
available to traffic. This may be fine for
us who sit on chairs or stand on the
sidewalks to observe the activities, but
to our youngsters retrieving. candy,
etc., this is very dangerous.

I realize we-need an emergency

access but do we need traffic moving—

through the street while the parade ‘is

ANALYSIS Be

Bright | future for
small communities

Editor's mote: Mayor Audrey
Moore briefly attended the annual
Federation of Canadian
Municipalities: convention held
recently in Calgary where she sat
in on a discussion about the future
of small cities in Canada. This is
her report.

By MAYOR AUDREY MOORE

During the recent Federation . of
Canadian Municipalities Conference in
Calgary I heard Dr. Gerald Hodge of
Queen’s University discuss the future
‘os small cities in Canada. He has some
startling information about the growth
and development of our small cities.

For instance, 45 per cent of Canada’s
population live in small cities, towns,

villages._That_represented 11 million

people in 1981, and their numbers
have been growing steadily for 30
years.

Yet, smaller communities are hardly
visible in the discussion about the
conditions and governing of our
settlements. It is as if the researchers,
technocrats and media, so used to
focusing on large metropolitan areas
and their problems use the big end of
the telescope to look out on the rest of
Canada.

From this perspective, small com-

‘ies may look—i ‘ial or
appear-to-be stagnant and-dying. The
reality of the situation is. the exact
opposite.

Because the social environment in
the smaller cities now closely parallels

that of the metropolitan area, because _

the personal incomes are’as high — if
not higher in some. areas — and
because most residents of small towns
find jobs within a half hour of home,

—the-—staying- —power —of —small
municipalii greatly
enhanced in recent years.

-For this reason, there is a strong
case to be made for the rejuvenation of
small centres. Manufacturing jobs con-
tinue to grow faster in the smaller
centres: The future for small towns is a
stable, quiet growth scenario.

Small and rural municipalities have
their own economic importance and
essential government functions to
perform, a significant role to. play in
providing Canadians with an alterna-
tive way of life, and a special place in

years.

I suggest that smaller municipalities

- The average income in the United Arab Emirates
was $22,870, the figures show. The Emirates is a group of
seven independent mini-states on the Persian Gulf, witha
total population of 1,175,000. Their wealth comes from oil.

Oil was also the source of wealth in Kuwait, where
the average income was put at $17,880. Its population is
about 1,500,000.

In Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, much of
the average resident's income was.in the form of free
housing, education and health services:

The average income in Switzerland ‘is $16,290.

‘The average income in the United States is $14,100,
slightly above Norway's average of $14,020. In Canada |
the average is $12,310 which is between Sweden's $12,470
and Denmark's $11,570.

Switzerland, the Nordic countries, Canada and the
United States are among the bank's’ 19 high-i -income

They_range down to Spain, where the average
income was $4,780 a year. Other countries with average
incomes over $10,000 were: Australia $11,490;—West
Germany $11,430; Finland, $10,740; France $10,500;
Japan $10,120.

People in Saudi Arabia, which is not in the industrial
group, had an average income of $12,230

At the low end of the table in the bank's latest World
Development Report was Ethiopia, with an average
income of $120 a year —a little less than Bangladesh with
$130.

__ |The table_offered no figures for 21 countries,
including the Soviet Union and most. others under
Communist rule.

It calculates the average income in China as
equivalent to $300 a year, having risen at the unusually
fast annual rate of 4.4 per cent between 1965 and 1983.
