The mill's tug G.O. Sutherland hauled’a record 42,328 cubic metres of logs from Shelter Bay to the mill at Castlegar. That's more than 7,000 cubic metres better than a normal load. For an idea of just how much timber that is, 42,328 cubic metres is about 1,088 truck loads. And 35,000 cubic metres is about 850 truck loads. The tow was the largest ever in the 14-year service of the Sutherland. The tug picked up the logs in Shelter Bay, Fostall and Needles and_ took seven days to cover the 180 kilometres.

Crew 8 2 aN Rights for crime victims wanted OTTAWA (CP) — Crime victims and their families should have a statutory right to make submissions to the National Parole Board re- garding the early release of their assailants, MPs told Solicitor General Perrin Bea- tty Tuesday. They should also have the legal right to know where their attackers are incarcer-. ated, when they are eligible for early release and what conditions are attached to their parole, Liberal MP John Nunziata said. Beatty, appearing before a legislative committee review- ing proposed amendments to a controversial early-release “program, said—he-is-not-ad- verse to the statutory pro- vision guaranteeing victims a voice in parole proceedings. However, he said he thinks the release: of personal in- formation about parole dates and conditions might be in violation of the federal Pri- vacy Act. “We'd have to take a look at it obviously.” he told re- porters later. “I can under: stand the concern of victims’ groups with regard to this (but) the real problem is how often Parliament wants to over-ride the provisions of the Access to Information and-Privacy legislation.” Crime victims and their families now have the right to make a written submission to the parole board about the early release of their assail ants, but MPs said few are aware of that right. Tory MP David Kilgour, who represents Edmonton Strathcona riding. said that right should be spelled out in a bill proposing changes to the early-release program known as mandatory super vision. The mandatory supervi sion program requires that all prisoners, except those _serving a life term, must_be released after they served two-thirds of sentences. have their EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES EXPO 86 The Ministry of Labour wishes to announce that application forms for employment at EXPO ’86 are now available at the following location: Castlegar and District Chamber of Commerce P.O.

VIR 3T3 368-5236 TSE goes.on six-week skid TORONTO (CP) — The stock market has often proved to be a pretty accurate forecaster of what. the economy might be like six months down the road — and if its recent performance is borne out that road could be rocky. In the past six weeks the Toronto Stock Exchange's chief the-TSE 300 ite index, has skidded 201.8 points or 7.2 per.cent while the Montreal Exchange's main index declined 7.03 per cent and the Vancouver Stock Exchange posted a less dramatic 3.2 per cent drop. The last time the Toronto market was off for six consecutive weeks was back in September 1981 — as the worst recession in 50 years was just beginning to bite. The current tumble has trimmed almost $15.4 billion from the estimated quoted value of Canadian listed stocks. However, most market observers say Canada’s' economy is not about to sink into recession despite the market declines. Leo de Bever, economist with Chase Econometrics Canada, says the economy should expand at about 2.5 per cent in 1986, compared with four per cent this year. Inflation should stay around four per cent and interest rates ease slightly. Se So why the big decline in the Toronto market? RATES ARE HIGH Analysts point to a. number of factors, ranging from the nature of the companies traded on the Toronto exchange to the problem of growing government deficits and high real interest rates. ‘ Other factors cited include declining corporate profits, low commodity prices, concern about the state of the - country’s financial institutions and profit-taking after the market's peak of late August. a According to Statistics Canada, pre-tax profits of industrial corporations dropped 2.1-per cent in the second quarter of this year, the first quarterly decline since the depths of the 1981-82 récession. Lower profitability means that it is more difficult’ for companies to expand, to compete and to increase dividends. The latter is of top priority to investors on the stock market. ‘At the beginning of the year, there were some very imistic projecti about ic and corporate earnings growth, said John Ing, president of the investment dealer Maison Placements. Canada Inc. : But growth was less than expected and earnings have been disappointing. As a result, the market corrected itself and share prices dropped. = One of the items that affected many of those balance sheets was low world prices for oil, gold, base metals and other resources. The Toronto stock market is still heavily influenced by _ commodity prices. Companies in oil, gas, base metals, pipelines and gold represent 30 per cent of the TSE 300 ~said. composite index's moves. ‘The price of metals, for example, is set in U.S. currency and a high U.S. dollar results in consuming nations having to spend more to get the product — which means holding back as much as possible.
