(CP) — A crafty thief with @ taste for valuable old documents and rare postage stamps has Canada's staid university ar- chives and stamp-collecting communities on their guard. Described as a clever con man, it is estimated he has blazed a $50,000 trail across Ontario. Stamp dealers, the coun- try’s largest philatelic society and archivists at Queen's University in Kingston and the University of Western Ontario in London have mapped the thief's path for police. His description and methods are being widely circulated. Kingston stamp dealer Glenn McIntyre said the pleasant, casually dressed man in his late 30s or early 40s walked into his store May 25, sold some coins and men- tioned he had some stamps for future trade or sale. He promised to return. On June 6, he was back — on a hot-fingered shopping trip. : visit as “an opportunity for a miracle cure” without con sidering the health hazards.

OTTAWA (CP) — Liberal policy planners focused on the heart of the country's current troubles — the econ. omy and jobs — Saturday as they thrashed out ideas to take into the campaign for the expected Sept. 4 election. Transport Minister Lloyd Axworthy, co-chairman of the party's platform commit tee, suggested Liberal think ers are in line with the busi. ness-oriented philosophy es poused by Prime Minister Turner during his leadership campaign. Axworthy told reporters during a mid-day break at the committee's meeting that Liberals agree the private seetor will provide the back bone of economic recovery — one of Turner's main themes during his campaign for the party helm. “We all recognize that that really is the basic ingredient that has to work, that gov “That's when he left some stamps with us,” store man- ager John Meiboom told the Kingston Whig-Standard. “It wasn't until several days later when he received word from Toronto that be had been active in lifting stamps from various dealers there that we found out that this group of stamps (that he left) had been stolen.” An inventory of their own stock revealed several items were missing, “which had last been shown to him,” ernment cannot replace the Meiboom said. kind of economie stimulus In all, Meiboom estimates that comes from the private “we lost $1,000, and that’s sector,” said Axworthy, one conservative.

When the Pope celebrated mass at the historic Boston Common in October 1979, several people in the crowd of about one million died af. ter developing hypothermia unemployment, now running at 11.2 per cent, is a stable economic environment. “One of the ways of doing that is to ensure that there is a good flow of investment capital and some expecta. tions about the future.” To reach those goals, Ax worthy added, the $30-mil- lion deficit must be reduced — another major Turner leadership plank EXAMINES PROPOSALS However, the committee was addressing a broad range of proposals, including specific job-creation solutions such as youth apprenticeship programs and ways to aid small business. “I don’t think that you can have one magic solution that’s going to solve unem- ployment for young people or unemployment for dislocated workers. “It’s going to be part of an overall and pretty compre- hensive approach.” The committee of about 60 Liberals, including MPs, sen ators, cabinet ministers and party bigwigs, met as Turner was speaking to the Queen in London in an attempt to APPEARS CARELESS framework in which that ac But for all his apparent tivity will-take place.” cleverness, the thief also has Axworthy said the plat. given the impression of being form r reach over her scheduled visit to Can ada, beginning next week.

Hospitals and health asso- ciations, such as St. John Ambulance, say they are preparing for twisted ankles, heat prostration, fractures, strokes and births during the Pope's Toronto visit. Toronto hospitals may can- cel all elective surgery, di- agnostic services and regular clinies during the visit. “We're preparing to take our share of the disaster,” said Dr. Edward Rzadki, Liberals plan policy for the fall, are pressuring Turner into calling a summer election. Buckingham Palace spokesmen have insisted the Queen will not come to On- tario, New Brunswick and Manitoba July 14 to 27 if an election campeign falls dur- ing the tour. Turner is likely asking the Queen to postpone her tour to October, when she plans to visit the United States, or come under conditions that would prevent her from being associated with the partisan heat of an election campaign.

By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer The West Kootenay Liberal party has moved ahead the date when it will nominate its candidate for the Sept. 4 Kootenay West Liberal Association Mark McEwan says the party will choose its candidate one week from today instead of the in tended date of Aug. 8. The meeting is at 8 p.m. at the Fireside Inn. Jean Turnbull of Trail and Peter Dodge of Nelson are the only Liberals who have declared their intentions to seek the nomination. McEwan said that because of the leadership convention, the party couldn't nominate anyone until after the convention. “Until the election is called, we had to have 45 days notice,” he said. “This would have been Aug. 8.” “Now we can't wait that long,” he He said the local riding has sent a telegram to Turner saying he is wel come to run in Kootenay West. How ever, McEwan thinks the Liberal leader will likely select a riding closer to Vancouver. He noted there is less travelling time involved in a riding near Vancouver. In addition, McEwan said there are other ridings that are stronger and more “election-ready,” than Kootenay West. Although, the local Conservative and NDP parties have an edge over the Liberals because their candidates were selected months ago, McEwan says the Liberals are “in good shape” because of increased membership. Kootenay West Liberals have gone from very few to a membership list nearing 300, he says. “That means we will Be able to do canvassing, which we haven't been able to do. There’s been a real surge of interest,” he added. Local Liberals have started election into full swing until after a candidate is selected. “Part of the problem with gearing up is until you have a candidate nom inated, you don't know who is going to be managing the team,” McEwan said He said the candidate has a lot to say in that area. Presently, the party is focussing on the nomination meeting, while Mc Ewan says he is working on general election preparations, such as gather ing electoral maps and voters’ lists. Following the nomination meeting, a campaign team will be struck within days, and the campaign should be in full swing by July 25, says McEwan If the Liberals win. in» Kootenay West, it will be a first. Since the con stituency of Kootenay West was formed, there has never been a Liberal MP. Still, McEwan thinks Liberal chances are still good. “People are a little tired of the NDP By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Staff Writer Election fever in the West Kootenay has been heightened by official an nouncement of a Sept. 4 election, with NDP MP Lyle Kristiansen Tuesday agreeing to an all-candidate’s debate. “I'd be very pleased to debate with any did: ” said the i b representative for Kootenay West, adding that the election here “will be a more interesting three-way contest than we've had for a long time.” Former Progressive Conservative MP Bob Brisco rose to Kristiansen’s challenge. “That's fine,” he said. “I'm quite prepared to debate Mr. Kris. tiansen anytime, anywhere.” Both Briseo and Kristiansen ap peared cautiously optimistic about their chances of becoming MP for Kootenay West. Although elections are “always very tough I feel very good, not cocky, but reasonably good we'll win in the West Kootenay,” said Kristiansen. “I expect I'm going to win on Sept. 4,” he added. Brisco also said he was going to win, although he’s “not taking it for granted.” Kristiansen said one of the cogs in his election machine will be his past record as an MP He said he's worked at obtaining for the West Kootenay “more than it's share of benefits from whichever gov. ernment programs that are available,” including the recently approved Modi- fied Industry and Labor Adjustment Program for Regional District of the Central Kootenay — which will provide up to $2.4 million in aid for the area. Kristiansen also pointed to the Local Employment Assistance and Develop- ment Program — a $350,000-a-year program that was approved for the RDCK earlier this year, which “gives . small to expanding in this area,” he said.

Brisco said Conservative policy on mining and forestry will directly pro- vide long-term employment, adding that the party will install a forests minister in cabinet for the first time in years. Meanwhile, Kristiansen attacked both the federal Conservatives and Liberals charging that “neither Mr. Mulroney or Mr. Turner has anything new to offer.” “Mr. Mulroney, other than the fact that the represents a different bank from Mr. Turner, hasn't got anything to say,” he said. “Their attitudes towards interest rates, their hands-off attitude to the economy, has caused economic disas. ter,” said Kristiansen.

But the CAT seanner — a machine that allows doctors to see inside the body in a totally new way — has itself been clouded in controversy here in the West Kootenay : At the heart of the controversy is Trail, Regional Hospital's bid to purchase a CAT seansier, or more cor rectly, a CT scanner The hospital has been waging an uphill battle for more than three years to buy one of thé revolutionary CASNEWS FEATURE REPORT computerized tomography body scanners, which com bines the x-ray with a computer. The stumbling block is the CT ecanner’s estimated $1 million price tag.

Kjolberg takes over ffom retiring administrator Neil Enders on Monday. It was Enders, along with the Trail Hospital board. who spearheaded the hospital's drive for the new machine — a drive that started innocently enough in 1980. That was the year the hospital's only neurologist, Dr J. Bernard Tom Yeu, left. “He decided to leave because he felt... you couldn't practice good medicine in the specialty of neurology without a CT seanner,” explained Enders in an interview At that time the CT scanner Was less than 2 decade the hospital's medical advisory committee the hospital purchase & CT head scanner. The hospital board endorsed the recommendation, but added that a full body scanner, and not just a head seanner, be pure!

Donations poured in over the next three years as the CT seanner somehow touched the heartstrings of resi dents throughout the West Kootenay — many of whom didn't even know what a CT scanner was. Enders calls it “a spontaneous reaction from the publie.” “We actually didn't organize a drive at that time,” he explained. Trail media reported on the donation and decided the CT scanner was a cause worth rallying residents. “They (the media) really carried the ball without any continued on pegs A?
