We also were playing the Blar ney Stone in San Francisco on Haight Street."" Haight and Ashbury Street was the cosmic meeting place for hippies before social diseases and hard drugs swamped the hippie village. It was also the unlikely corner where the Irish Rovers first started playing. “That's when the boys joined me,"” said Millar, who was already in the Bay Area as a Solo performer. It was also where the Rovers received their first with Decca Records and nates with The Who “I remember Keith Moon, the late drummer of the group, sitting in my hotel room with a phone book on his lap, running his finger down the phone numbers page by page, and phoning every woman in the book until he found one who would come up to his room for the night."” Butthat was 25 years ago. A quarter of a century later, the Rovers are-celebrating their anniver- sary—with-the-release_of their first album of new recordings in five years. Produced by.

Many workship participants had a small hydro plant under construction (KREDA). The.workshop, covering the prin- ciples of planning, design and co! struction of small hydroelectric projec- ts (less than 1,000 kilowatt capacity), was so successful in bringing together interested people that it has led to the formation of an organization for or in and most of the «remainder were contemplating projec _1s. They are attracted by a clean, quite and environmentally benign source of electrical power with a long service life and little maintenance, which may displace utility megaprojects and can provide steady income if energy is sold toa utility, Scarlett said. The Kootenays are. particularly blessed “with potential small-hydro sites, many of which were. developed around the turn of they centruy and later abandoned, he said. New electronic technology and techniques, combined with a recognition that_energy production should not be at the expense of the en vironment, have revived interest in the field, Scarlett added The workshop covered. feasibility studies, mechanical design, estimating, electronic controls, and cost KSCU joins network Kootenay Savings Credit Union has joined the nationwide INTERAC net- work of automated-banking machines (ABMs) enabling Kootenay Savings’ members to withdraw money from ABMsacross Canada.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s 300 composite index fell 11.19 points to finish the day at 3,546.89, for a net loss on the week of 67.43. The Dow Jones average of 30 in- dustrials dropped 20.17 points to 2,243.04, extending its weekly loss 10 49.10 points The drop in U.S. stock prices came despite a slight decline in interest rates in the government bond market. Investors appeared worried about corporate earnings later this year and in 1990 if the economy slows. “Stagflation — rising prices and sluggish growth — will characterize much of the year,"* analysts at Merrit! Lynch said in a commentary. ‘But that environment could give way to an actual recession by the end of the year, as the economy reacts to monetary tightening.” Canadian economists have said they're looking for a slowdown in the economy, and they are not as quick to predict a recession. INVESTORS WORRIED But the hikes in consumer loans by Canada’s big banks kept investors worried, said analyst lain Fraser of Midland Doherty. “‘How high are the rates going to have to go to cool down the economy? Nobody knows, that’s the problem.”” Th H.Th Resident Partner is pleased to WE HAV From the lower level of the Building to 1014-4th Street, EFFECTIVE M. GERONAZZO, THOMPSON and Le ROSE Credit Union.
