That is the riddle facing Castlegar area res lents in the wake of the Central Kootenay Health Unit's year-long radon gas survey. The health unit studied two per cent of the homes within the Castlegar school district boundaries to determine if radon gas levels are acceptable or not. Two per cent seems like a small sample, but it wouldn't be if it involved 1,000 homes. Political pollsters, for instance, can obtain extremely accurate results from 1,000 voters. Yet, there are virtually millions of voters across the country. The reason is that 1,000 is a good sampling even though it is less than one-half a per cent of the number of voters. In the case of the health unit study, two per cent does not tran- slate into 1,000 homes, or several hundred, or even a hundred. It translates into just 70 homes. Of those 70 home: four were found to contain high levels of radon gas. Four doesn't sound like many — and it wouldn't be if that was the total for all the homes in the Castlegar school district. But it isn't. Four out of 70 amounts to six per cent of the homes studied. That again may not sound like many, but if six per cent of the 3,400 homes in the Castlegar school district contain high levels of radon gas, we are looking at nearly 200 homes. While the health unit defends its sampling of only 70 homes as “pretty good” | it says we cannot apply the results to the 3,400 homes in the school district because the results would vary in a larger sam- pling. How, on the one hand, can the study be considered adequate when it can't be used to give a clear picture of the region as a whole? Even if the study showed only three homes in 70 cent — had high radon gas levels, or 4.5 per it would still translate into nearly 150 homes within the school district and that is a large number of families. Whether the study results are completely accurate or) not, they tell us one thing: That Castlegar area residents have to come to grips with a very serious problem. The health unit should recognize that and develop programs and methods to help residents alleviate the problem. Thanks for help The Stanley Humphries music de partment has concluded its second annual magazine subscription sales campaign. We would like to thank everyone who bought or renewed his subscription through us. Did you know that if you order a magazine directly from the publish er, all of your money leaves the com munity? If you order through the SHSS music department, exactly one-third, or 33'/s per cent of that subscription price stays here in Castlegar. We are associated with Reader's Digest and Maclean-Hun. ter, and have more than 150 maga zines from which to choose, including Chatelaine, Maclean's, Better Homes, and Reader's Digest. You cannot buy single-year maga zine subscriptions anywhere else at a cheaper rate. In fact, we will accept any “special offer” coupons that you may have from another source. Most parents of music students realize that if they buy magazines through the music department, they of course get their magazinews, but in addition, they pay for their children's extra-curricular travel or new uniforms at the same time. We would be delighted to handle you magazine subscriptions next year. Please contact the music department at Stanley Humphries if you have any questions. Lorren Culley Music Director Child accidental deaths ‘alarming’ By MARILYN RONALD The figures are In 1986, 27 Canadian children per 100,000 in the one-to-four age group died by accident, compared with only 10 per 100,000 in England and Wales and 12 in Italy. Among Canadian youngsters aged five to 14, 20 in every 100,000 died in accidents, while in Japan the figure was only 7.5 per 100,000. In 1985, accidents, including those in traffic, took the lives of 1,599 children aged one to four in Canada. That represented 35 per cent of all children’s deaths in that age bracket. Other causes of death for young children that year included congeni. tal heart defects, 17.5 per cent, and cancer at 10 per cent. Child-care experts say there is no single explanation for the high accident rate among Canadian kids. Manufacturers have tried to re- duce dangers for children by, among other things, increasing the flame resistance of sleepwear. Provincial governments have contributed by making the use of kids’ car seats compulsory. And the federal govern- ment is considering regulations for design changes in babywalkers that would broaden their base, making them more stable. LEARN RISKS Parents are being made more aware of the risk of burns, falls and the times of day when home acci. dents are more likely. Experts say many home accidents occur in what they call “the arsenic hours” from late afternoon until early evening. Why these are the most dangerous house for accidents was explained by Louise Hanvey, spokesman for the Canadian Institute of Child Health, a private advocacy group based in Ottawa. “Kids and parents are both hungry and tired. Parents are trying to get dinner on the table and the household generally it's more chaotic than at other times of the day.” The stress of being a single parent can also contribute to the possibility of a child having an accident, says Hanvey. Single parents trying to keep the family going financially, juggling day care, and possibly attending school part itme may be too exhausted to try to create home conditions where their children are safe. NEED ALL THREE Parent education, safer products and stricter government regulations are all needed, Hanvey says. The problem, she says, is that governments, manufacturers and pri- vate organizations often cannot reach a consensus on what to do. “It's fair to say parents have to take more responsibility,” Hanvey says, “but it’s a fairer statement that society as a whole has to better protect children from injury.” Even a government spokesman acknowledges the problem isn't a high priority in Canada. Conscious efforts to protect children are more widespread in other industrialized countries such as Sweden, says Tony Myres of the federal Health Depart- ment. A serious lack of reliable statistics on child accidents in Canada causes difficulties when child-care groups try to lobby manufacturers and gov- ernments or when conflicts arise among them on what changes are ap- propriate “In Canada, we don't gather infor- mation on injuries systematically across the country,” Hanvey says. Letters to the editor Good news, bad news I have good news and bad news. First the good news, My taxable income was $2,273.67 higher in 1987 than it was in 1983. Next the medi ocre news; that was almost enough to keep up with the inflation rate. And, now the bad news. Of the $2,273.67 the federal and provincial govern ment took $1,278.80 for income tax and I got $994.87 to spend however I Clark’s blooper Permit me to comment on last Sunday's front-page news items and comments from Joe Clark to West Kootenay voters on the philosophy of Canada’s role in the peace issue. I have always considered the ex. ternal affairs minister a nice, gentle man even though he has had the uncanny ability to put his foot. into his mouth whenever he chooses to make a profound statement. But his latest blooper was when he shoved in both feet and then talked out of both sides of his mouth about the “peace-thrqugh-strength” policy, thus defending nuclear-powered sub- marines, NATO, the Cold War and the wasteful spending of billions of dollars, and encouraging confronta. tion in this dangerous game against a peaceful world. Surely, we can expect better from this man than to parrot the exact words of U.S. presidential candidate George Bush, who borrowed this catch-phrase from his Cold War hero. According to a recent poll, 71 per cent of Canada’s voters oppose the construction of the nuclear sub- marines. Why does Mr.Clark not at least listen to the Canadian voters instead of importing such sabre-rat tling rhetoric? Pat Romaine Castlegar Remove ° sign Would Garry Jenkins, the Liberal candidate in Kootenay West-Revel- stoke please remove his lawn sign from my property? I had the first one he placed there removed, and now there is another one. I have a Lyle Kristiansen sign, with my _per- mission. I would expect Mr. Jenkins should ask permission of individuals or of the public to place such signs on public property. His is giving the im. pression that other people's prop- erty, and public property are his domain. Mr. Jenkins is doing what the Conservatives and Bob Brisco’s cam- paign did last federal election when they plastered Thrums and the rest of the route between Castlegar and Nelson and Brisco signs during Mulroney's quick visit to Nelson. And we saw the kind of honesty and forthrightness that party gave the people of Canada in the last four years. Surely, Mr. Jenkins doesn't want to be associated with their antics. I ask him to kindly remove his sign, and do not place another one there again. Frank Amoroso Thrums pleased. So I decided to spend it on increased property taxes and ICBC rates. During their last i the obviously unfair so they changed it. In 1987 the limit was $23,760. ‘Then they noticed that the family Tories promised us a fairer tax system. As soon as they got elected they gave the rich a $500,000 capital gains tax exemption. Well, I guess that’s unfair, they actually gave it to all of us, but not that many poor people had $500,000 worth of capital gains so, not many of them got to eolleet. Up until 1985 people who had a taxable income of less than $1,440 paid no federal tax. Obviously, that was unfair so in 1986 the Tories made them pay tax. But they still hadn't got around to the rich people who paid no tax, but they promised us they were working on it. In 1987 the Tories noticed that people who had children were getting a $710-deduction for them. Well, this was obviously unfair, so they changed it to $560. They also noticed that a family with a net income of $26,330 could collect the full child tax credit. Well, that was were fully in- dexed to inflation. Well, that was ob- viously unfair so they partially de-in- dexed them. Now they are telling us that they are reducing our taxes by about $331 for the average family in 1988, But in truth they admit we won't be paying $331 less than last year, but $331 less than we would have paid-if they had not changed the tax system. What ridiculous double talk! To add insult to injury the Tories are planning to place a value added tax or federal sales tax on all goods sold in the country after they get elected. Let's face it, expecting the Tories to give us a faiter tax system is like trusting Premier Bill Vander Zalm to lower the price of beer. The last time he lowered it, it went from $10 a case to $12, and if he lowers it again I'll have to stop drinking it. Rod Retzlaff Glade Where is reform? In 1985 I wrote an irate letter to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney after reading reports that many Canadians earning over $100,000 per annum were not paying any taxes. As a single parent of two unemployed (but over-age for claiming purposes) daughters, I was a little miffed to say the least to find that while I was paying over 30 per cent income tax straight off my paycheque, others were not pulling any weight at all. I received a reply signed by the prime minister which said that his government was not penalizing the middle-income earners of this coun try (the backbone) and that tax reforms would greatly assist in equalizing taxes, etc. That was in 1985. It is now 1988. Where is our tax reform? Oh, I did see some mention of it, but it will not assist me, nor others like me .. . we will still bear the brunt of the taxes — plus. We are now going to be treated to a 16 per cent service tax and we don't even know if that is going to include food (that bit of good news will probably be laid on the long-suffering taxpayers the day after the election, if the Conser- vatives are returned). I have never belonged to a party, although I have always exercised my voting privilege. I will be cam- paigning for the NDP this election, and urge other non-committed voters to look at the current and projected tax structure of the Conservatives. It’s pretty scary stuff, and right around Halloween too. Claire Hayes Nelson Federal debt robs country of billions With the federal election in the air no doubt everyone is thinking hard about making the right choice this time. However, it appears that there is no right choice, no matter who is elected. There simply are no dedi- cated and wise men or women who would fight against the injustice that is ruining this country and its in- habitants. An article from the Vancouver Province headlined “Deficit Some- thing to Sweat Over,” says: “For instance, the total accumulated na- tional debt is $293 billion. That's $11,720 for every man, woman and child of us. “It takes $32 billion this year to service that debt, that is to pay the interest on it. That's $1,280 for each of us.” Simple arithmetic will tell us that in 10 years we will pay $320 billion— $27 billion above the principal debt. Someone will profit $27 billion in 10 years, but the deficit will stay as is or grow even larger. We have been paying this debt over and over for many decades. Who is it that's deliberately robbing this country of hundreds of billions of dollars and not paying a single red cent of income tax? This has been going on for years and we haven't had anyone in gov- ernment yet — and probably never will — who will put an end to this inhuman insanity. Col.

MORE LETTERS Who is beh I have seen several TV ads attack- ing NDP Ed Broadbent. These ads are sponsored by the National Citizens’ Coalition. Conservative in- cumbent Bob Brisco is the bene- ficiary of these ads because in this riding-his strongest competitor is Lyle Kristiansen, the NDP CAND IDATE, I would like to know what is the National Citizens’ Coalition, and where does its money for advertising come from? Who are the people behind the NCC? Is it wealthy people and large corporations? The NCC spends so much money on these ads that I suspect it is far beyond the resources of a handful of people and corpor: ations to provide sufficient funding. Most businessmen do not squander money. They invest, either for “goodwill” or for more tangible benefits. In this case the donors remain anonymous so there is no “goodwill” to be obtained. The dona- tions are not tax deductible for in- dividuals, because the NCC is not a registered political party. Obviously, it comes down to who benefits most from ensuring that the Conserva- tives win this election and form the next government. In case the NDP should win this election and form the next govern- ment, the tax holidays for the wealthy people and large corpora- tions would be over, They, too, would have to pay their fair share of federal taxes. How much income tax do the large banks pay now? The mere thought of paying their fair share probably makes many rich people choke and sends a chill down many corporate spines. Who benefits the ensuring that the most from Conservatives form the next government, I suggest to you that it is the United States, because then it is assured that the free-trade agreement will be co.uplete. What any manufacturer desires is cheap raw material, cheap energy, cheap labor and a good price for their products. What the U.S, desires most is our energy at our cost. It certainly has the cheap labor. In many states, like Texas, there are no minimum wage laws. Exactly how do you think our indys- try would be able to compete? By paying lower wages than the Tex- ans? Personally, I am for free trade, but I am against this agreement Mr. Brisco and his government have negotiated with the Americans. It is extremely short-sighted. Energy is one of our most ptecious resources. All other manufactured products have a larger monetary value on the balance sheet today. That will soon change when the Americans get equal right to our natural resources and energy at cost. Why would any manufacturer keep any’ plants in For the record In a letter to the editor from Red Retzlaff of Glade last Sunday a word in the final sentence was printed incorrectly. This is how the last paragraph should have read: “One of the biggest problems with our economy is that we are too depend- ent on the U.S. economy. As far as I am concerned, making us totally dependent is not a solution to that problem.” ind NCC? Canada? Cost of raw material and energy would be similar in either country but labor costs are lower in U.S. Furthermore, employers’ costs for social services, such as unem- ployment insurance, workers | com- i and are much lower in U.S. A succession of U.S. administra- tions have through its Central In- telligence Agency been covertly active in many countries. It would be extremely naive to think the CIA would not be equally active in Canada, the U.S.'s closest neighbor. The NCC spends millions to discredit the New Democratic Party. The Lib- erals are plagued with various ru- mors discrediting their leader, John Turner. Their party executives do not know where these various rumors start, but they are certainly well timed to do the most damage. Can Mr. Brisco tell me who are the people behind the National Citizens’ Coalition and do they receive covert funding from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency? T.

In fact, there is no special law that protects an incorporated society from being sued. As the guiding “mind” behind the society, directors can be per- sonally liable for the decisions they make. The area with the greatest poten- tial for director's liability is when they act outside of their authority as directors. At first blush this problem may seem to be easily avoided. Beware this blase attitude, there is a hidden trap. A volunteer director only has the authority to make decisions on activities that are part of the lawful purpose of the society.

But why is this man smiling so broadly? Although Vander Zalm was idol- ized by the majority, the dissidents — who attracted 30-per-cent support for their call for a secret ballot on his leadership — have not gone away. “Yes, he won the vote, but the problem remains,” former cabinet minister Stephen Rogers said after the vote. ANALYSIS Rogers, like other moderates in with almost as much glee as the premier himself. “It’s made it crystal clear that the Socreds endorse not just Vander Zalm's style but his policies,” said NDP leader Mike Harcourt. “It's those key policies that voters are upset with and those were endorsed by everyone including the dissi- dents.” Liberal party president Grant Burnyeat, whose party is attempting a revival after nearly 10 years without a member in the legislature, said he's “just generally delighted. “There was no questioning of Vander Zalm in the membership and no perceived need for him to change what he’s doing even though his party is running at a record low in support.” Harcourt is confident of victory in the next election and isn't concerned about attempts to revive the Liber- als, saying most of those involved in it are Socreds in disguise. Smith, who resigned from cabinet in the summer because of disagree- ments with Vander Zalm, believes the coalition of Liberals and Con- servatives patched together after the NDP became government in 1972 may now be threatened. “I am seriously concerned about splintering the free-enterprise vote,” said Sith, who is a federal Con. servative. “We have a Liberal party resurrection well into the planning stage . . . and if the Liberals revive, will not the Conservatives try a revival as well? Under those condi- tions, we have 1972 all over again.” Both Smith and Burnyeat believe the first indication of the disin tegrating Socred coalition may come in the Nov. 19 byelection in the NDP stronghold of Alberni. Both believe the Liberals have a realistic chance at finishing second, ahead of the Socreds. lawful In the meantime, if a child was injured while attending the camp, the organization risks losing its insurance coverage leaving the direc- tors personally liable for damages in a lawsuit.
