CASTLEGAR NEWS, July 27, 1983 MORGENTALER Abortion debate rages on MONTREAL (CP) — Once again the abortion debate is raging in rae and once again the name of Dr. Henry and reactions sneered in the country. To some he's a hero; to others a killer. And after six years of peace, the 60-year-old Montreal physician admits he has reluctantly put himself on the spot again. “I was very reluctant to do this again,” Telephone 365-5210 y for tl Ff. ete jt Brian L.

Officially, tet Criminal a authorizes abortions only for women whose “lives or health” are deemed endangered by continuation of the pregnancy. Morgentaler also helped train doctors and nurses for other Quebec abortion establishments while continuing to perform abortions at the east-end Montreal clinic that bears his name. That clinic, which opened ‘in 1968, was an “open secret” until 1978, when Morgentaler declared publicly that he had performed 5,000 abortions with few complications and without a single death.

Q Playboy changing its ‘girlie’ format NEW YORK (AP) — first issue of Playboy caused quite a stir with a photo of Marilyn Monroe “with noth- ing on but the radio,” but times, ular column for female con- tributors, and the next Christmas issue will include the magazine's first special advertising section on wom- and the recession have forced the magazine and its major competitor, Penthouse, to change. As its 30th-anniversary is- sue approaches, Playboy is moving away from its orig- inal “girlie” format, aiming toward more of a men's “life- style” magazine intended to draw higher-income readers. Playboy has to change to attract a broader audience, said Leonard en's While Penthouse hasn't gone as far in that direction, it too has sought out con- troversial articles and inter- views and is working on the “lifestyle” market. Both magazines recently added columns on video games and television. Pent- house added a wine column, and Playboy started a finance column. The “lifestyle format” has + Stein. “There are less young men now than there were in 1972,” when Playboy hit its peak, he said. That's cut the rate base, as has the com- petition. “Back then, Penthouse was brand new. Now it's estab- lished and there are several hundred other men's maga- zines, some of which offer no editorial content whatever except for pictures. “There are more adult movies now than there were then, and even cable TV channels offering adults films. If you want erotica, “you have a much bigger sel- ection now.” GAINED PRAISE Even in Playboy's early years, when it was known mostly for its centrefold pho- tos of nude women, it gained some ion for encour- P a more advertising base for both magazines, even while cir- culation has gone down. Playboy is cutting the cir- culation it guarantees adver- tisers seven per cent with its October issue, from 4.4 mil- lion copies an issue to 4.1 million. At the same time, it is increasing its advertising rate by 6.7 per cent. The idea is to get a more stable read- ership through subscriptions, while lowering distribution costs by cutting newsstand sales. Stein said Playboy has dropped about 50 per cent in circulation from a peak of nearly eight million in 1972 when Penthouse appeared. The combined 1988 circula- tion of Playboy and Pent- house is about equal to what Playboy's was at its peak. Both magazines said ad- aging young fiction writers and running reports and interviews on such non-sex topics as government corrup- tion and organized crime. Now it has started a reg- ising is up for their October issues, even though circulation has been cut. For Playboy, October will see the first monthly increase in ad revenue in about two years, Stein said. EXPERT REPAIR SERVICE on all major appliances including fridges by qualified technicians.

The college is currently without a functioning alarm system. Schatz said the old system deteriorated and be- came inoperable. He said the new system, which was approved last year, will be a comprehensive smoke and heat fire alarm system. If a fire breaks out at the college before the end of the year — Schatz’s hopeful com- pletion date for the new sys- tem — fires would have to be reported manually and the building evacuated manually. Schatz said $220,000 of the total cost will come from bor-: rowed funds. The remaining $17,000 has not been desig- nated though the college has placed that at the top of its priority: list on its renova- tions in the 1984-85 col- lege budget. Schatz said the college has received no money specifi-. cally for renovations in this year’s budget. The college \received only $121,000 for equipment and renovations, compared to last year’s fig- ure of $244,500. For Dayid Thompson Uni- versity Centre, renovations, the college received $19,300 this year compared to $82,600 last year. Schatz said it would be a few months before the col- lege will know what projects will be carried out this year. Major projects under con- sideration inlude: e completion of floor re: finishing at the Castlegar campus — a top priority project with a projected cost : of $165,000. e-Renovations to the col- lege's entrance lounge — a project which has been ap- proved but is currently fro- zen. The projected ost is $60,000, e completion of the lounge, at a cost of $80,000, though unapproved. e installation of air condi- tioning, at, $70,000. e complete air conditioning of the college's A wing, at a cost of $150,000. Some of the minor projects are: @ the dividing of one class- room to provide two 85-seat classrooms, at a cost of $8,000; e a reorganization of a chemistry lab for seminar lecture classroom, $2,500. e installation of a pedastal for the satellite dish, $1,500. e first phase of under- ground sprinklers, $15,000.

It will depend on The new facilities include a chain-link fence enclosing By DIANE STRANDBERG An outdoor rock festival planned for August in the Salmo Valley has the Salmo mayor worried, despite assurances from festival promoters that security, first-aid, camping facilities and parking will be provided. “There's so much that’s unknown at this time,” Merle Hanson commented in an interview this week. He says he's concerned that the'town of 1,100 will not be able to handle the expected 10,000 concert-goers as they pass through on their way to Hidden Creek Ranch. Hanson said similar outdoor festivals in other areas have not drawn favorable reports. But he says he will take a “wait and see” attitude to the festival-at this time. “Personally, for the most part, I don’t think the people (of Salmo) are all that enthused. But we'll juat have to hope there will be no problems, that’s all,” Hanson said. RCMP say they are “aware” of the upcoming concert but preparations for the event are still in the preliminary stages. what really happens in terms of numbers of people,” Inspector Dick Gertzen of the pelson subdivision said this week. ‘The Nelson RCMP detachment is responsible for rural areas including Salmo and the Hidden Creek area. Meanwhile, all systems are go for promoter John Giza. He's been given the green light by the Regional District of Central Kootenay to stage the two-day rock concer: featuring Doug and the Slugs and six other B.C.: bands. Giza told the regional district board last month that the festival, planned for Aug. 20 and 21 in the Hidden Creek area on Highway 6 north of Salmo, has satisfied the requirements of the Salmo RCMP, the Ymir fire department, the building inspector and local health officials. Giza and his partner, Richard Pearson, plan to spend $500,000 building permanent facilities for the event which they promise will be the first of many. the 80 acres of entertainment grounds, 24-hour running water, a permanent first-aid station staffed with qualified first-aid attendants 24-hours-a-day, 80 additional acres of parking and camping space, 45 senior security officers on patrol 24 hours a day and supervised by a former RCMP officer, 20 portable sanitary stations, a concrete-floored concession building and 24-hour shuttle-bus service to 10. An additional building will be provided for the RCMP to be used as a command station if they desire. “What our main concern on the festival grounds is the health, welfare and security of the people,” Giza said in a recent interview. “We're trying to make this a pleasant thing to come to. The reputations of outdoor festivals havn't been too good in the past,” Giza conceded, noting that he plans to change the public's attitude by staging a smoothly-run event. Giza has promoted other events, including open-air concerts in the Vancouver area, and he has helped organize the Salmo snow festival in previous years. While he admits that the August concert is huge undertaking he stressed that “every precaution is being made for them (Salmo residents) not to be concerned about.” Giza and his partner are both longtime residents of the area and Giza owns the Hidden Creek property where future concerts are planned, including a Battle of the Bands slated for late September. Winter events may also be scheduled. The regional district gave its stamp of approval by issuing licenses to the promotional company, H.C.R. Promotions, and waiving a deposit which would have forced Giza and his partner to pay an amount matching the amount spent in preparation for the event. Giza said 15 people are working to prepare for the festival, and 200 will be working during the festival. As well, he said he hopes the facility will provide permanent jobs for as many as 10 people in the future.
