Inco plans two month closure

THOMPSON, MAN. (CP)
— Fears of business failures
and tough times spread this
week after Inco Metals Co.
announced plans for a two-
month shutdown at its nickel
mine, the economic motor of
this northern Manitoba city.

The move, coupled with a
similar shutdown by Hudson
Bay Mining and Smelting Co.
Ltd. at its Flin Flon and
Snow Lake operations,
means almost all northern

itoba's esti d 6

miners will be off work at
some time this summer,
The dates for the ‘Inco
shutdown have not been an-
nounced but Bill Clement,

president of the company's’

Manitoba division, said al-
most all Inco’s 2,200 employ-
ees in Thompson will be laid
off during the temporary
plant closing.

“It's a shocker,” said Al
Fleury of the United Steel-
workers of America which

P the mine workers

who were on strike for three
months last year.

“It will hit the community
hard. People were just get-
ting things together after the
strike.” :

Inco has also announced it
is extending an eight-week
shutdown in Ontario by an-
other four weeks, to Oct, 3,
and Clement said the com-
pany's Manitoba plant is fa-
cing declining sales, rising
costs and a large nickel in-
ventory.

Job program benefits
Nelson forest district

VICTORIA (CP) — The
first 11 projects to be ap-
proved under a $40-million
federal-provincial employ-
ment program will create 117
temporary jobs in the Prince
Rupert, Nelson and Vancou-
ver forest districts.

“The unemployed workers
— mainly millhands and log-

gers — will get temporary’

jobs cutting roadside brush,
learning how to fight fires
and tending saplings.

The single most costly
project, valued at $283,722,
will put 20 people to work for
40 weeks improving the Can-
adian Forestry Association's
Evans Lake demonstration
forest in the Squamish area.

Other jobs, to a total of
$523,000 in the first series,

will provide four weeks or
more of employment,

To qualify, a worker must
be ivi

“We are engaged in a piece
of survival management
which we hope will save jobs
and the community,” he said.
“We have not reached the
brink and we will be trying to
by every means to avoid it.”

The Flin Flon and Snow
Lake shutdowns are for eight
weeks, innii

October would be the earliest
date for a closing, But union
officials said if there must be
a closing, it would be better
in September and October.
“The weather is much bet-
ter — there's good fishing
and hunting," said Morgan
Svendsen, president of the
local. "Later on,

All but 800 of those 2,600
mine employees will take five

/ weeks vacations and then
will be laid off for another
three weeks. Last Friday,
about 600 workers at Sherrit
Gordon Mines Ltd.'s opera-
tions at Lynn Lake and Rut-
tan began a five-week vaca-
tion shutdown,

The exact timing of the
Inco layoffs remains a ques-
tion mark for the employees
and for Thompson. One local
businessman said almost half
the city’s small, independent
retailers could fail if Inco
loses during the November-

insurance payments.

In addition to the average
$240 a week unemployment,
workers are paid $60 from a
provincial fund, and are en-
titled to holiday pay and pen-
sion, disability and other
benefits.

rush,

‘er lot ay these businesses
do 40 per cent of their bus-
iness during that time ‘and
they would never survive,”
he said.

Inco is required under pro-
vincial law to give 16 weeks’
notice of a shutdown, so late

things get pretty cold and
there's a lot of heavy heating
bills to pay.”

Svendsen said the situ-
ation is serious and the com-
pany apparently had little
choice.

“If they could weather the
storm without the shutdown,
T'm sure they would.”

Some residents of Thomp-
son, whose population has
slipped in recent years to be-
low 16,000, took the an-
nouncement of the Inco shut-
down in stride.

“Anybody who lived
through the 1930s knows
they will survive this one,”
said school teacher Doreen
Lindquist.

Businessman Bill Harrison,
a Thompson resident for 20
years'who previously lived in
the northern Ontario mining
town: of Atikokan, was also
philosophical.

Board moves to
repair fire damage

Castlegar teacher Bob Ca-
echioni has been given addi-
tional time to attend to his
duties as president of the
Castlegar and District Tea-
cher's Association.

Castlegar school board
agreed this week to increase
his release time from one day
to 1% days a week — or 25
per cent of his teaching time
— provided it doesn't upset
teaching schedules at Kin-
naird Elementary, where
Cacchioni teaches mathema-
tics and language arts.

In other business,
board agreed to hire Nelson
architect Ron Sawyer to sub-
mit damage estimates and
drawings to replace and re-
pair areas damaged by.a Vic-
toria Day fire at Kinnaird
Junior Secondary choo}.

The board also agreed to
purchase 300 feet of fire hose
and a metal cabinet to be in-
stalled near the fire hydrant
at Blueberry Creek Elemen-
tary School at a cost of about
$2,000.

letter to the commission,
saying this had led him and
others to believe they
wouldn't have to pay the tax.

Rutledge has refused: to

sell his land but earlier,”
land owner Bud

former
Smith told the commission he
had paid $54,000 in tax to the
federal government although
he had felt when he had sold
his land to Hydro that he
would be exempt.

On May, 14, commission
chairman Keith Henry or-
dered Hydro to turn over all
files in its possession con-
cerning land acquisition deal-
ings in the valley.

The order came after a
number of residents accused
Hydro of “dirty dealings” and
“high-handedness” in its ac-
quisition of land.

On June 4, three weeks
later, Hydro's; legal .repre-

sentative. at ithe - hearing-

asked the commission to re-
verse its ruling because sev-
eral former owners had in-
sisted their dealings remain
confidential.
The'commission then per-
mitted Hydro to compile a
resume and on Friday, Hydro
presented a five-centimetre-
thick document containing
personal letters, inter-office
memos and policy statements
concerning land dealings.

Pulpit & Pew

by Ministers in the
West Kootenay

By Pastor DIRK ZINNER
Seventh-Day Adventist
Chureh

The story is told of two

children who were looking ~

for something to do. They
decided that instead of just
fooling around and pleasing
themselves they would do
little acts of kindness to
others.

Their first act was to an
elderly lady who lived by
herself in a little house. She
rarely had visitors and no-
body seemed to care about
her. They packaged up a
little token of love and quiet-
ly made their way to the door
of her house. Their quiet
knocking brought no res-
ponse, so they quietly opened
the door and noticed the eld-
erly lady sleeping in-another
room, They. quickly placed
their ‘gift and an anonymous
card.on the table and left.

The next day a friend of
theirs, who was sick in the
Hospital, : réceived. ai. /un
expected parcel ‘which con-
tained several smaller pack-
ages and marked to be
opened on certain days. They
kept up this type of “secret”
activity for some time. No.

one was able to figure out’

who was doing all these little
acts of kindness, much to the
glee and satisfaction of the
two children.

One day though, unbe-
known to the two children,
the town doctor happened to
notice them as they were
delivering another “surprise
package” to cheer up an eld-
erly lady.

The gracious doctor, well
aware of the many acts of
kindness these youngsters
had done in the community,
invited them ‘to his house for
a special party — but never
revealing to them how he had
discovered that they were
the only responsible for
bringing cheer to so many
people.

When was the last time
you went out of your way to
bring some cheer to someone
without any thought of re-
ward? Be it your boss, your
employee or employer, your
neighbor, the policeman, or
your family.

It was Jesus Himself who
taught us by His example and
teachings (see Matthew 5-7;
22:36-40; 25:31-46) to learn to
care and help others and thus
learn what true happiness is
all about.

Organist Mrs.
accompanied John and Judy
McNabb of Vancouver who
sang “A Time for Joy” during
the signing of the register.

The hall at Fireside Place
was decorated in a blue and
white theme with candles
and flowers. The cake was
also decorated in white and
blue.

Master of ceremonies was
Doug McNabb of Trail, while
Tom de Kergommeaux of
Surrey gave a toast to the
bride.

After the reception, the
bride and groom left for a
honeymoon trip to Calgary.
They are residing in Elkford.
