IRA's Provos By ED BLANCHE BELFAST (AP) — The Irish Republican Army claims the hunger strikes in which Bobby Sands and nine other imprisoned nationalists died greatly increased its support among Ireland's Ro- man Catholics. Because of this, it is planning to battle British rule in Northern Ireland with ballots as well as bullets and bombs. “The movement is strong- er than it has been for 10 years,” said Richard Me- Auley, a leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political arm. “All the indications are that support has increased in strength for the IRA. For Sinn Fein, it's increased im- measurably.” British officials conceded privately that the IRA’s Provisional Wing, which has been fighting since 1969 to unite British-ruled Northern Ireland with the predomin- antly Catholic Irish republic, has gained ground among Ulster's 500,000 Catholics. One British military official who asked nc: to be named told The Associated Press: New mill to process gold ore Goldbelt Mines Inc. of Vancouver announced this week its long-range develop- ment plans call for a new mill near Salmo to process gold ore from its mining opera- tion. Don Carmichael, president of Goldbelt, says the com- pany’s future plans include construction of a 200-ton a day mill to handle the ore. In a prepared release, Goldbelt says it has entered into a separate agreement with David Minerals Ltd. of Vancouver to secure 20 acres adjoining the David mill tail- ings pond in Salmo. The land will be used for a mill site should Goldbelt de- cide to proceed with the project. As well, Carmichael says the company intends to begin mining its property set in the historic Sheep Creek gold district. Carmichael said a mining contract will be let immedi- ately for the work. The prop- erty, has 40,000 proven tons of ore in excess of .5 ounces of gold per ton. Meanwhile, Goldbelt has also signed an agreement with David Minerals to ship ore from its gold mine near Salmo to the David mill for custom milling. Milling is slated to start in January, and the gold con- centrate will then be shipped to Asarco in East Helena, Montana. 2 DAY AUCTION SALE Antique, Modern & Tool Auction Dec. 19 & 20 Watch in next Wed.

Now Td say the whole thing’s wide open again.” British intelligence esti- mated the hard core of the Provos, as the Provisionals are known, at 400 men earlier this year. Sources close to the IRA claim it has re- cruited about 100 young Catholics since the hunger strike and turned away more away. “The hunger strike has transformed what was equi- vocal support for the Provi- sionals into hard-line support that in many ways has wiped out what political gains we had made,” a British military source commented. MP ASSASSINATED The buildup in support for the Provos has been matched by a surge of extremism among Northern Ireland's million Protestants, touched off by the IRA assassination Nov. 14 of Protestant clergy- man Robert Bradford, a member of the British Par- liament from Northern Ire- land. Rev. Ian Paisley, the most vocal of the militant Protes- tant leaders, claims to have formed a 15,000-man paramil- itary Third Force to combat the IRA. This has heightened Catholic support of the Pro- vos, The IRA's previous high- water mark was after Bloody Sunday — Jan. 30, 1972, when British gain support The Provos failed to win the political-prisoner status they sought for imprisoned nationalists.

TORONTO (CP) — Bank of Canada Governor Gerald Bouey, the man who toid Canadians last week to mod- erate their income demands, has just received a raise and is now making $104,500 a year, says The Globe and Mail The $9,500 increase — retroactive to April 1 — was authorized by the bank's board of directors and passed by a Cabinet order-in-council. Bouey’s salary had re- mained frozen at $75,000 a year between 1969 and 1979, but then climbed to $80,000 in 1979 and to $95,000 in 1980. His 10 per cent raise means he did not quite keep up with the 10.1 per cent rate of inflation during 1980, the newspaper says. Last week in Montreal, Bouey said if all workers demand pay increases of 10 to 12 per cent annually, in- flation will never be. licked. “The more readily we Can- adians accept the fact that more moderate increases in total spending imply more fired on Catholic civil- rights marchers in Londonderry and killed 13. The turning point this time was the seven-month fast at the prison outside Belfast. The IRA called it off after the strikers’ families began in- tervening to save their young men from death. in money incomes and prices for every- one, the better will be the trend of employment, output and real income,” Bouey told a group of businessmen and bankers. “The national in- terest calls for a realistic response by everybody to the changed economic environ- ment.” eae tention on the movement's cause. IRA sources claimed in interviews that the strike galvanized Catholics in both parts of Ireland behind the Provos, reversing a trend of recent years. They cited the election of four IRA activists — three of them Maze pris- oners — to the British and Irish parliaments during the fast. It was: the IRA's first major electoral triumph since the 1950s, and it was a sig- nificant switch in the move- ment's strategy after a dec- ade of shunning political activity. The Provo leadership, dominated by young Belfast radicals, won approval at Sinn Fein’s annual congress last month in Dublin to pro- mote candidates at local and parliamentary elections in Northern Ireland and the republic.

Iam very honored to have been chosen to speak at this Counter- Attack Youth Conference. My topic for this morning is “The Response of Our Com- munity to CounterAttack Ac- tivities.” I will discuss some of the various activities we took part in and the res- ponses we received within ‘the school and from our com- munity. Although the people in our community see and hear the various TV and radio com- mercials and _ posters throughout our city, it is still quite difficult for many to understand WHAT CA IS and, that there actually are concerned people in our com- munity. Our main objective this past year was to make people, especially the stu- dents, in our school district, “more aware of CA. We felt, that by starting with the stu- dent population, we are help- ing our future citizens slow down an increasing problem. In ping our student with drinking and driving?” “Do you ever drink and then drive?” This is where it was especially im- portant to understand CA objectives and be ready to explain them as well as to abide. by them. In other words we had to set the ex- ample for these future citi- zens. ‘ The success of this project was felt both in the school district and the community. Besides being asked by all the schools for a continuation project, our local B.C. Timber Pulp and Paper Co. has asked our group to do a safety program, for its employees, which we are planning to do in the spring. We also feel that the feeder project brought about more aware- ness to the Grades 9-12, thus expanding our group to all grades this year instead of just grads. unless behavior has been in- fluenced.” We must be pleased if they, the citizens recognize the CA logo, what it along with us represents, and if they THINK .

(AP) — Sissy Dwyer, mother of six and -vife of a city court judge, talks easily on a subject most people shun — death. A pro- fessional undertaker, she is fascinated with the reaction of the living to dying. “Death isn’t something most people talk about in polite society,” said Dwyer, a recent graduate of the Gup- ton-Jones College of Funeral Services in Atlanta. “They say, ‘She passed.’ What did she pass? Or they say, ‘He expired,’ Like he was a magazine subscription.” Dwyer was a medical artist Special contacts are also important in the community. The RCMP we feel, are most important as a contact. This past year we were fortunate enough to obtain not only an RCMP member but also a CA sponsor. These sponsors have co-operated with us by program, we started out with our past basics such as bulle- tin board displays, student newsletters and various noon-hour films, and displays Once we got these tasks started, we approached more major activities. At Christ- mas we designed a CA cross- word puzzle contest for the students, with the class get- ting the puzzle completed correctly, winning large candy canes, and the three mini canes. _found was just the beginning 3 cot a successful year. =" Our major emphasis” this past year was put on our school feeder project. During the month of April; all the members of our group went out in groups of two or three to different-elementary and secondary schools, where we took different classes (20 - 80 students) and gave them a basic lesson about CA. Not only did we talk about CA but we also showed the “Drink, Drive, Ration- alize,” which though humor- ous, brought out some actual myths about drinking. At the end of the session, each stu- dent was given a CA pack- age, which had various pam- phlets and information for both the student and parents, in various roadbl- ocks and at our local Trade Fair. This past year our group helped the RCMP out at the Trade Fair, by sponsoring their Safety Bear, which was a lot of fun for all who wore this costume. Also, this past year we were invited to a joint dinner meeting of our local Lions, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs. Patti Manducca, Mrs. Wal- lace, our club sponsor, and two members of our groups attended and outlined the CA ‘program — our aims and ob- Paiste in the City of Castle- Other important contacts included an interview by CJAT Radio with members on the situation of drugs and alcohol in our schools, along with various articles in the local newspaper.

At the forefront of the plan is the Beef Information Cen- tre, an information body sub- sidized by provincial cattle- ment’s associations. The Alberta Cattle Com- mission _has budgeted $191,000 as its 1982 contri- bution to the centre, which has offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal. i Kathy Keeler, who oper- ates the Calgary office, says one of her major concerns is Beef doesn't compare well with chicken and pork on a price-per-pound basis, but Keeler displays cards show- ing the per-serving cost of beef blade roast at 84 cents, boneless beef rump roast 90 cents, pork loin roast 99 cents and roast chicken $1.15. ‘The comparisons are based on a recent study conducted by a researcher at Ontario's University of Guelph, Keeler says. Another survey, done for the Alberta agriculture de- partment, confirms previous indications that price is the main roadblock to increased beef sales. Alberta cattlemen recently began: a sclevision promotion Cal- to increase know- ledge of the leanness of Can- adian beef and its value.
