D. Love, deputy minister of re- gional expansion. Love said at a Commons regional expansion committee meeting this week Prairie Farm Rehabilitation “Act _(PFRA) officiats in his depart- ment are holding talks on the developing ‘drought problem with federal agriculture depart- ment and provincial‘ govern- ment authorities. “I think it is fair to say that over the last three or four weeks, as concern has grown about the lack of precipitation, there has been more ‘and more thought given to what might be done in the short run.” He was replying to de- mands by Progressive Conser- vative MPs for government action to deal with the drought problem. “The drought is not only coming but it is here now," said Bert Hargrave, MP for Medi- cine Hat. He.and other Con- servative MPs from Manitoba and Saskatchewan said emer- gency water supply assistance is needed. And Bee Briseo, MP for Family Poster Contest For School District No.9 A poster contest open toall children in School District No. 9 will highlight the beginning of Family Month, Colin Pryce, co- ordinator for Castlegar People Interaction, announced this week. Pryce said the contest, sponsored by the Castlegar and District Community Arts Coun- cil, will focus interest on strengthening the family unit in the . community during the month of May, declared Family Month provincially by Premier’ -Bill Bennett and lecally by Castlegar mayor Audrey Moore. According to contest rules, entries may be any size under 16 by 28 inches “in any medium" and ‘must have a family theme. A $5 gift certi- ficate prize from the Book Shop will be awarded, to the winner for each grade, and the grand overall winner will receive a - free family admission to a per- formance of “Robert Service” at the community complex May 1. All entries must be clearly identified with entrant's name, . grade and school and may be submitted to the School Board office or the Castlegar or Kin- naird libraries. After judging, all posters will be displayed in local businesses, the libraries and the Brilliant Cultural Centre. Closing date for the con- test is May 5. ‘ Kootenay West, said the cities of Castlegar and Trail face a different kind of water supply problem and need emergency help. * Castlegar has ordered an immediate halt to construction to prevent further drain on the city's wells, which use ground water because the Columbia is polluted, Brisco said. Brisco said he wants the federal government to work out an immediate agreement with the British Columbia govern- ment guaranteeing water as- sistance to communities like Castlegar and Trail. Castlegar faces an ‘im- mediate loss of jobs and cuts in industrial expansion because of the water problem, he said. Jack Murta. (PC-Lisgar) said the drought situation in Manitoba is “serious beyond anyone's imagination.” It was more serious than the dusty 1930s, he said. Hargrave suggested there should be some special projects to pump water to dry areas. Though Second Highest, Buy Less B.C. Wages British Columbians might earn the second highest in- comes in the nation but they are not as well off as workers in Quebec, according to an Econo- mic Council of Canada Report.
