The New Democrats stalled the debate for two hours, by introducing private member's bills and forcing votes on the move. _ When the approval-in-principlé de- bate finally got under way, Trade Minister John Crosbie fired the opening salvos, saying opponents of free trade are turning their backs on a great opportunity for all parts of Canada. And he castigated the opposition parties, which have vowed to fight the enabling legislation every step of the way, for using procedural tactics that have stalled debate on the bill since it was introduced May 24. “Parliament has a right to decide on this legislation,” he said, adding that the will of the majority of MPs must be heard. DERIDES OPPONENTS Crosbie also derided promises by the opposition Liberals and NDP to dismantle the agreement if they come to power after the next elec- tion. “The Liberals want to tear it up and the NDP wants to tear it down,” Crosbie said, adding that “the NDP are the fat cats of the status quo and we, the Conservatives, are the revol- utionaries.” Crosbie also signalled the priority the Tories are putting on free trade as an election platform plank, saying “the question people are going to have to ask themselves is, ‘Are we better off in Canada with or without the free-trade agreement?’ ” But the opposition parties weren't buying Crosbie’s free-trade booster- ism. Liberal trade critic Lloyd Axwor thy said the agreement is the first stage in a plan to bring about the B.C. to benefit from free trade VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia will be a major beneficiary of a free trade agreement with the United States, says a provincial gov- ernment study released Tuesday. While the 33-page study was being tabled in the British Columbia legis- lature Tuesday, Premier Bill Vander Zalm was praising the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement in a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade. “Thirty-thousand jobs will be cre- ated (in British Columbia) over the next 10 years,” Vander Zalm said. “Most will be in the manufacturing and service sector where I'm sure the greatest amount of growth will be experienced.” But the Social Credit premier tempered his enthusiasm by sug- gesting British Columbians should not be looking for immediate job cre- ation from the government. “I think it's more healthier for us to experience gradual growth,” he said. “I do not look forward to a sudden jolt in the jobs now avail able.” He told his 550-member audience the agreement will produce a sense of security for the forest and mining industries because the protectionist seare from the United States will no longer exist.

NDP trade critic Steven Langdon said Canadians have been told by the Conservatives and Liberals they have only two choices in the free- trade debate: become an economic milk cow for the United States or carry on in the same old pathways, He said the NDP goal is to forge a new and ind di option for the And he warned that a dang isolationism might occur if Canada and the United States form a trading bloc. It might encourage other econ- omic powers to do the same, thereby freezing out those countries less able to compete. Bill C-130 would eliminate a wide range of U.S. and Canadian tarriff barriers over 10 years. Both the United States and Canada must pass country and its trade policy, one that will avoid, “a branch-plant economy, a branch-plant prime minister . . . with no vision for the future of this country.” He cited a list of prominent Canadian businessmen and intellec- tuals who have criticized the agree- ment because they feel it threatens Canadian prosperity. Bank consumers given ombudsman OTTAWA (CP) — Consumers will get somebody to complain to about bank service charges under gov- committee in its report on bank service charges tabled June 7. Conservative MP Paul McCrossan, a i member, said he be- ernment to be early next week, junior finance min- ister Tom Hockin said Tuesday. “We. will have someone who can lieves Hockin supports changes ur- ged by the committee but “I have some indications that in the om- defend in their dealing: with the banks and we will put in place next week the techniques that are necessary to do so,” Hockin told the Commons. But Hockin refused to tell report- ers whether that person would be the ombudsman sought by New Demo- crats or simply a designated govern- ment official, a milder option recom- mended by the Commons finance Cancer linked with occupation VANCOUVER (CP) Miners, metal workers, commercial fishermen, pulp and paper indystry workers in British Columbia ‘have a significantly higher risk of contracting two forms of cancer than people in other occupations, says 4 study on occupa. tional cancer risks. Preliminary conclusions from the ongoing study by the Cancer Control Agency of B.C. were released Tues day at an international conference on cancer. The study uncovered an increased risk of squamous-cell lung cancer in people who have worked in the mining industry or in a variety of metal fabricating jobs. . People in some service jobs — including firefighters, police officers, dry cleaners and military personnel - also have a higher risk of di veloping lung cancer than most people, the study says. Pulp and paper workers and com- mercial fishermen are substantially more likely to develop a form of cancer called non-Hodgkin's lym- phoma, said Dr. Pierre Band, who presented the study. But people who work in science, engineering and health care, or in administrative positions, have a significatnly lower risk of developing lung cancer. The B.C. study was based on more than 12,000 questionnaires complet- ed by male cancer patients across the province since 1981. This month, the study will start to survey female cancer patients, said Band. sure @ quality product 534-7441 20079 62nd Ave Langley, B.C.

And it urged the government to amend the Bank Act to outlaw charges to close an account kept open for a year, minimim balance charges and slapping the victim of a bad cheque for under $1,000 with a ser- vice charge. GORDON POPOFF -. missing Tarrys man missing By CasNews Staff A Tarrys man is still missing two weeks after he was last seen at his home. Gordon Kenneth Popoff, 34, was last seen June 6.

A J - June 22, 1988 Castlegar News AS Castlegar Villa Society held its annual meeting June 15 in the lounge room. President Brita Haley chaired the meeting with 33 members in ‘at- tendance. Harry Bate, chairman of the villa selection committee, stated that five vacancies occurred during the year which were quickly filled, and to date there are five applica- tions on file. Slim Thomas, chairman of the building committee, reported that this has been anything but a dull year in regard to general maintenance. The main setback was the replace- ment of the main electrical panel in the new wing causing financial ar- rangements with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. A smaller panel had to be replaced, along with several thermostats, heater switches and fridges that had to be repaired or replaced. This caused the electrical maintenance to be quite high, and there was also a large changeover of tenants for various reasons. There was also a problem with management but this problem has been solved with new manager Floyd Bacon. Arlee Anderson of the social com- mittee, who is assisted by Marjorie Schneider, stated that the lounge room is occupied most nights with bingo, playing cards and a non- denominational church service on Wednesday mornings. The Rotary Anns put on a lunch- eon once a year and the Catholic Women's League entertains with bingo and the serving of refresh- ments. Ald Patti Richards, representing the city, congratulated the directors for all their hard work. Courtesy was in charge of Marg Henne, who has done a wonderful job in communicating with the residents of the villa. Thanks went to Paul Oglow, an advisory member. A hearty vote of thanks also went to the Castlegar Rotary Club for the many ways it has assisted the villa during the year, things like the Christmas trees, signs and handi- capped ramp. -Due to all the costs sustained during the year a rental increase of $5 per unit was suggested, but this is subject to CMHC approval. Nominations from the floor were called with Arlee Anderson (Castle- gar Villa), Jim Moore (Royal Cana- dian Legion, Muriel Heagy (Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion) Marg Henne (Presbyterian Church), Bert Rourke (Rotary Club), Brita Haley and Vivian Murphy elected as directors.
