Zoo director Peter Karsten said another male may be what Tuffy, a male lowland gorilla, needs to increase his interest in coupling with his mate, Caroline. Karsten said tests have shown that while Tuffy’s sperm is of “low quantity” he “is not infertile . . . It's not biologically. impossible for the two to reproduce.” But groups of wild gorillas usually have a dominant male who subordinates weaker males and does most of the breeding with females in the group. In short, Tuffy needs a challenge to stimulate him into action. The zoo is negotiating with other zoos to obtain com- petition for Tuffy. +615 Col (Upstairs) Castlegar Phone 365-7745 Henry John, B.Sc., C.A.

He said the app per- college such as the vocational instructors who belong to the B.C. centage was low because. members expressed a major concern about settling a contract in the middle of a provincial election. Another factor in the out- . lcome was the effect the set- tlement may have on sister bargaining units within the ploy Unions, and non-teaching staff, represented by. the Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada.

D'Arcy also cautioned, “We never know anything until the votes are coun Siemens said he is expecting: a voter turnout of 76 to 76 per’ cent’ — up from 71.6 per cent in 1979. He adds that the strong turnout could help him because “the hard core voter automatically votes.” Siemens said the additional voters turning, out this tim om around may be a result of hard work the Social Credit party has done in this election.

Residents should bring the registration card they received in the mail or sufficient identification in case there is any question of identity. Registration cards were mailed out after the election call to advise voters that they are on_the voters’ list. If you didn’t get a card, you're not on the list, However, you can still register on election day. But you must present two pieces of I.D. and, if possible, a utility bill to prove where you live. Voters must register in the division where they live — for example, in Robson, Castlegar or Blueberry. But if you are unable to vote in that polling area on election day you can still cast a ballot in the town where you are located at the time.

Z Another change to Pass Creek will be the upgrading of the baseball field, which has oo neglected over the years. Outhouses have also been built on site which will serve the winter "campers and cross-country skiers when campsites are being-built. They will be similar to the sites at Syringa Creek provincial park, but will offer outdoor lighting — something Syringa does not have. As well, washrooms are being built for day users as well as for overnight campers. ‘There are seven full-time workers employed through a $116,000 federal grant received last October. White said six weeks of preliminary work was done last fall — included construction of 30 picnic tables — before work resumed March 1. oF . White said the federal government wanted the project to be labor intensive and added that much of the grant money has been spent on labor.

The park will remain closed to the public until June. White said he is also hoping work will be done té upgrade the pools, which will be filled with beach sand.
