hospital board to continue to pursue
the purchase of an ultrasound unit for
the x-ray department.

Castlegar doctors continue to take
part in continuing medical education

morning with other doctors around
province.

Ward said a decision to provide in-
dividual television sets for each hospi-
tal bed will “greatly improve patients’
morale and help their time in hospital
to be more relaxed.”

In other news, Ward said that a fetal
monitor now in use at the hospital has
no doubt saved some babies lives at the
hospital.

But after Ward's report, pro-lifer
Herman Kemperman commented that
this statement was a contradiction
since Castlegar hospital is reported to
have had the highest number of
abortions in the area last year.

Ward responded that the abortion
issue has caused “a lot of anxiety and
concern among the medical staff.”

“It was much easier before the
government passed laws so abortions
were legalized,” he said

But he added that the issue is dealt
with “strictly according to the rules.”

Rogers explained in an interview
that all abortions must be approved by
2 committee consisting of three mem
bers of the medical staff who do not
perform abortions.

“There is certain criteria that has to
be met before an abortion is approved,”
he said.

Ward said the patient is encouraged
by the doctor to consider a pro life
approach.

“I think every patient has to decide
on that with their doctor,” he said

Ward added that the reason why the
number of abortions performed last
year was so high was because the hos-
pital received “a fair number” of pati
ents from Nelson because Kootenay
Lake District Hospital's abortion
equipment was destroyed

Meanwhile, the hospital auxiliary
reported a membership of 50 people in
1985, ineluding two honorary members.

The auxiliary raised $4,243. Main fund-
raising events were the spring and fall
conn sales, two raffles, a Christ-
mas ie sale, the ital

and cart. ne ee

“Our dedicated members have given
nearly 6,100 hours of service,” said
Tony Ackney.

Areas of service included:

© extended care (hair dressing,
pao of patients, exercises
crafts, birthday and anniversary par-
ties, reading and bingo);

© gift cart;

© processing and dispatching ban-
dages for cancer patients;

© weighing and measuring babies at
the health clinic;

© knitting baby clothes for the baby
ew
© treats for patients on special
holidays. -

The auxiliary also paid the TV cable
charge for television services in the
hospital lounges and sponsored a candy
striper program.

As well, the auxiliary presents the
New Year’s baby with gifts.

Dr. Keith Merritt was the guest
speaker at the society meeting. He
spoke in the new intensive care
equipment at the hospital.

city schools, the board said it can eliminate all triple split
lasses and most double split grade classes, a move
both the CDTA and the BCTF support.

“We prefer to see split grades go,” said Rodgers,
adding “there is no room for triple splits.”

As for the CDTA's recent agreement with the school
board calling for a two-per cent wage increase for district
teachers, Rodgers said, “It was the best we could hope
for, even though the two per cent is well below the
provincial average of wage settlements.

“The CDTA and all teachers (in the district) were
aware of the financial position of the taxpayers in
Castlegar and the board’s financial position too.”

‘The provincial government did not provide funding
for wage increases to teachers for the 1986-87 school
year, forcing local boards to go to the taxpayers to raise
additional funds to pay for any wage increases they
negotiated with teachers.

The Castlegar board raised taxes on an average
$55,000 home $19 this year.

Rodgers pointed out that Castlegar teachers have
not had a wage increase for 3’: years while inflation
during that time was 17 per cent

Taking into account this year's two-per-cent
increase, Rodgers said teachers in the district “have
really lost 15 per cent purchasing power in the last four
years.”

“That's 15 per cent less | will spend in Castlegar
businesses.”

But Rodgers said he would not have favored a larger
tax increase to give teachers a bigger boost in pay.

“I would like to have seen the government fund
education properly,” he said, noting that the Socreds are

Children will

take over
leadership

CHERYL CALDERBANK
Staff Writer

The Royal Canadian Legion today is striving for its
associate membership to carry on behind ordinary members,
said the vice-president of the Legion's Pacifie Command.

Ron Amos made the remark at a dinner in Castlegar last
Saturday as members and Branch 170
(Castlegar-Robson) marked the 60th anniversary of the
Royal Canadian Legion.

Amos said that the ordinary members are looking for
the associate members — sons and daughters of ordinary
members — to take over the leadership.

But he added that it won't be a smooth transition
because of many “die-hards” in the Legion.

However Amos stressed that “we must carry on.”

Amos predicted that it won't be too long before the
Legion sees an jate member of the
Pacific Command and after that president of the Dominion
Command.

“It's for the youth of our country that we work today
and it’s for their children. This is the direction we must go.”

“We have to step aside and give these young people the
support,” he said. “ I am sure that with the associate
members it will work out for the best.”

He suggested that why may happen one day is sons and
daughters of ordinary members will become the ordinary
members and their sons and daughters will be the
associates.

Amos stated that options for the future include getting
men and women who have served in the military and have
never joined the Legion, to become part of the organization

Ancther speaker of the evening was Sam Brown, West
Kootenay zone commander

Brown focused on the theme of the Legion's Diamond
Jubilee — “pride in our past, faith in our future.”

Brown, a peace-time volunteer, said that it won't be the
“ancient warriors” who will continue on the Legion
organization, but most likely’ the peace-time volunteers or
the associate members.

“Who will take care of that last veteran?”, he asked. “If
you can answer that, you have got faith in the future.”

“It took 10 years to give your sons and daughters the
right and privilege to vote,” he told ordinary members. “It
may take another 10 years for you to give them the privilege
to hold offices.”

“Let's look at the future,” he told the members. This is
where our organization is going.

“The challenge is yours. Do you want it to die or to
continue?”

Castlegar mayor Audrey Moore commended the Legion
on the “outstanding service” it has performed in the
community

“I salute each of you and wish you well in your future,”
she said. “I expect even greater things for the Legion in the
future.”

Rev. Charles Balfour of St. David's Anglican Church,
the padre for Branch 170, was thé guest speaker of the
evening.

Balfour told the Legion members and guests tiat just as

Vander Zalm joins race

By DAPHNE BRAMHAM

RICHMOND (CP) — The
flamboyant and controversial
Bill Vander Zalm has joined
the race to replace Bill Ben
nett as premier and Social
Credit leader in British Col
umbia.

The former cabinet minis
ter said at a news conference
Friday he agonized for three
weeks before making his de
cision.

One of the factors under
consideration was what to do
with his Fantasy Gardens
business. Vander Zalm said
he has resolved that problem
by passthg control to his wife,

ind his four children
three

“[ wafittalbting 6 govern
ment high moral standards
based on true Christian prin
ciples,” he said. “Secondly, I
want to restore a true meas

ure of individual enterprise
upon which government de.
cision-making can be made
and in this way return econ.
omic prosperity to British
Columbia.

“Thirdly, I want to bring to
the people of B.C. a means by
which everyone, regardless
of stature or philosophy can
be involved in the decision-
making of the government.”

The 52-year-old Dutch im.
migrant said he is aware that
not all British Columbians
are Christians. But he said: “’
believe those values are
equally acceptable to some
one who's Jewish or someone
who is one of the other many
major faiths in British Col
umbia.

“L think Christian values
would be acceptable to
people regardless of what
their faith.”

Vander Zalm gained a na

God is unchanging. he does not want to see an 1
organization, such as the Legion, become irrelevant

“It is what the Legion does today and ho,»es to do
tomorrow that will determine how relevant it is,”

“Organizations and individuals exist for a purpose,”
Balfour said in giving the founding principles of the Legion

The first principle, he said, is remembrance — that
those who died in the service of the nations wi. always be
appropriately remembered, that sacrifices made by so many
shall not be in vain and that people will maintain good will
and friendship in our country and throughout the world

The second principle, Balfour said, is just rights — that
those who survive and need help may be assured of adequate
assistance

Comradeship and service is the third principle and the
fourth is loyalty

Balfour said that if the Legion is to retain its strength
and prestige it must find a new project, such as drawing
sons, daughters and ex-service people to the organization

“The Legion will continue to thrive as long as it gives
Canadians a vision to pursue,” he said

“There's nothing wrong with the old values,” he added
“There's nothing wrong with the principles on which the
Legion was founded. All that needs to be done is point them
in a new direction.

“If this happens, then at least some of us will still be
alive to celebrate the Legion's 100th birthday in 2026."

Another highlight of the evening included the signing
by many people, of the articles of faith — a reaffirmation of
the willingness to carry on with the principles of what the
legion stands for

Captain Gordon 0. Sutherland, a veteran of the First
World War, was the first person to sign the articles of faith.

Branch 170 president Denny Tucker was master of
ceremonies of the celebration.

tional reputation as human
resources minister when he
suggested that all welfare
recipients be given shovels.
He was also the centre of
attention when he said he re-
sented reading French on
cereal boxes and called Rene
Levesque “a frog.”

His other brush with notor.
iety came when he sued Vic
toria Times-Colonist cartoon
ist Bob Bierman for libel over
a cartoon in which Vander
Zalm was shown pulling the
wings off a fly. Bierman won
the case.

When Vander Zalm “took a
sabbatical” from polities in
1983, his critics suggested
that “he left; beeause he
thought-the New.-Demoerats
would win

He denied that Friday. “I
was frustrated, but I didn’t
leave because I thought the
(Social Credit) party would
lose.”

Vander Zalm ran a lack
lustre and losing campaign
for mayor of Vancouver last
fall, but his embryonic lead
ership campaign promises a
return to his past fighting
form.

At his news conference in
the flower bedecked solarium
of his Fantasy Gardens, Van

der Zalm said: “I am ex-
tremely concerned that many
of those who are involved in
the leadership races are ex
pending huge sums of money
on their campaign to woo
only 1,500 delegates.

“I frankly think this is im-
mora! and I do not intend to
run a huge-profile campaign
at a big expense, a “Blue
Machine” campaign. It will be
just party people, Social
Crediters.”

The settlement also con-

for a separate vote on a
proposal to cut wages by $4

Average union wage in the
industry was $19 an hour

Gautier said the bargain-

mend acceptance of the ad-
dendum but would leave it to
individual unions to accept or
reject.
