Socialism sank its earliest and deepest roots here, and we are one of only three provinces where the NDP has formed the government. We're one of only two provinces where Social Credit has governed and with that party's demise in Alberta, the only province in which the Socreds still command significant support. . Provincial peculiarities have affected federal polities, too. B.C. has come closer than any other province to effecting a complete separation of federal and provincial parties. Two Political Worlds: Parties and Voting in British Columbia (University of B.C. Press, $19.95), is the first comprehensive survey of B.C. voter attitudes. The fruit of more than six years of analysis by Dr. Donald Blake and two collaborating UBC colleagues, Drs. David Elkins and Richard Johnston, the scholarly work disputes conventional wisdom that has B.C.’s electorate divided along working-class middle-class lines. It’s always been assumed that these two classes have very different political values that coincide with the left-right split which is reflected in NDP-Social Credit support. However, Blake and his associates have hard evidence that about a third of the working class votes Social Credit and a similar amount of the middle class supports the NDP. “What turns out to be the major intervening factor is people's attitudes on left-right questions . . . The members of the working class who can be identified as ‘individualistic’ will vote Social Credit, and a member of the middle class who believes in a strong role for the state in social policy and economic regulation is likely to vote NDP.” The “hard evidence” that Blake, Elkins and Johnston use for many of the conclusions in the book is a province-wide survey of more than 1,000 voters, who were interviewed for an average of two hours each. The survey was conducted in a 10-month period following the May 1979 provincial and federal elections. An i i of the thr is that the real father of the new NDP was W.A.C. Bennett, Social Credit premier until 1972 when he lost power to the NDP under Dave Barrett. Socred polities that spurred NDP growth were development of the resource economy of B.C., which led to work settings that encourage NDP support, “and an increase in public sector employment which gave the NDP increased entree into the middle class.” LAS VEGAS STYLE FEMALE BAR BOXING EXHIBITION ‘As seen on TV's Real People) Lovely ladies in their bore essentials put on the gloves and give you a show you'll never forget THURS., MAY 22—9 P.M.

U.S. oTPAWA (CP) — All or almost all the radiation found in Canaaa in recent weeks is from the Soviet nuclear accident and not from a failed U.S. weapons test in Nevada, a senior federal health official said Tuesday. And all radiation levels reported in Canada so far for air, rainfall, milk and produce do not present any health hazard, said Carole Peacock, a spoeksman for the federal Health Department. The government is still recommending people do not drink rainwater Dorothy Meyerhof, head of the Health Department's environmental radiation hazards branch, said she could not completely rule out that some of the i ivi d ‘As well, the government should not have changed the safety limit for radiation in fresh produce after impounding and destroying an Italian shipment of salad fixings, he said. Radiation levels in spinach from British Columbia and other produce are above the levels of radioactive Iodine-131 found in Italian lettuce which the Health Department refused to release for public consumption. Meyerhof said the government did not have a standard ‘for radiation in produce when the Italian produce was impounded and applied its standard for drinking water. But immediately after, officials worked out a safe limit for lodine-131 in produce based on how much is y in Canada resulted from the U.S. test, “but I'm sure the radioactivity we're seeing is from Chernobyl.” normally eaten and cancer risk, she said. A standard was also set for milk. The standard for produce was set at 70 The government has not been ing figures of inte ing in Halifax, |, Quebec City and the North on a regular basis only to keep the amount of material presented to the public to a manageable level, she said. The filters used to sample the air are flown to Ottawa for analysis and some problems have been experienced getting some of them to the capital on time, Meyerhof said. However, figures are available for Halifax up to last Wednesday, for Montreal and Quebec City up to last Tuesday and for the North as late as Friday, she said. COMPLAINS ABOUT TIMING Outside the Commons Tuesday, NDP MP Jim Fulton complained the government is not providing timely results of the daily radiation monitoring started after the April 26 nuclear accident at Chernobyl in the Ukraine. “I don't think the government has put enough effort into doing daily monitoring where they should be and getting those results back to the Canadian public the same day,” Fulton said. Freer trade OTTAWA (CP) — American negotiator Peter Murphy vowed to give freer trade talks his “best shot” as he sat down this morning with Canadian, negotiator Simon Reisman for the opening round of negotiations. The two tough-talking negotiators and their teams grudgingly posed for cameramen and reporters who outnumbered them about by about four-to-one before settling down to work amid continuing controversy over what they should be discussing. “We'll give it our best shot,” Murphy said before taking his place at the large oval table in Reisman's 17th-floor jroom near Parliament Hill. That will be the negotiators’ home away from home for the next two days as they discuss housekeeping matters such as how often they'll meet in the coming months and how much, if anything, they want to tell the media. Reisman joked that Murphy has become much better known in Canada, where the freer trade issue makes the daily newscasts, than he is in the United States. “You don't realize that you're now a national figure, a household name and a national figure,” he said. “When I get down there, I don't think anybody's going to care or anybody’s*@oifig "to know me.” “Reistiay's office “issued its first formal news Telease minutes before the meeting began, saying no fixed agenda had been set for the meetings today and Thursday SIDE PROPOSES “The Canadian side also proposes to take the opportunity provided by this first meeting to outline for their U.S. counterparts the nature of those fundamental political, social, cultural and economic elements of the nation that inevitably play an important role in shaping Canada’s No word on grant gq! is per and for milk at 10 becquereis per litre, the same standard set for drinking water.

At a level of one beequerel for any given quantity, one atom decays every second, releasing radioactivity. Using the new standard, the Italian lettuce would not have been impounded, Meyerhof said. Some’radiation experts have suggested radiation levels in British Columbia have been higher than in other areas of the country because of fallout from a failed weapons test April 10 at an underground test site in Nevada. U.S. officials have said no radiation was d into the here.

As well, the mix of radiation material found in Canada could only have been produced in a nuclear reactor, she said. talks begin approach to the forthcoming trade negotiations,” the release said. Reisman has said he wants to give the Americans a brief history lesson, complete with slide show. There was no indication whether that would definitely include an explanation of why the Canadian government is adamant that social programs not be part of the trade talks. “Canada’s social programs are not being discussed in negotiations which deal solely with international trade,” External Affairs Minister Joe Clark told the Commons on Tuesday after days of controversy over the issue. American trade officials have rep diy said that Deaths murder- suicide By CasNews Staff A coroner's jury in Nelson has concluded the deaths of two people there Jan. 18 was a murder-suicide. The three-woman, two man jury ruled last week that Donald Snowball, 34, fatally shot 31-year-old Janet Helen Carison in her Uphill home and then turned the gun on himself. Eleven witnesses were called during the six-hour inquest, during which time the jury did not ask any questions. Castlegar coroner Paul Oglow, who presided at the inquest with assistance from investigating coroner Ken Pitt of Vancouver, did not have any recommendations arising from the inquest. Snowball and Carlson had separated in December at which time Carlson moved to Nelson from the couple's Passmore home. France escaped disaster PARIS (REUTER) — France narrowly escaped a nuclear disaster as serious as Chernobyl two years ago when a nuclear reactor’s cool ing system failed and safety backup systems didn't work, the magazine Le Canard En- chaine said Tuesday. Quoting excerpts from a everything — from the auto pact to social programs such as medicare and unemployment insurance — must be on the negotiating table.
