Former Castlegar resident Cecil Malott (left) at Cowley, Alta. Heritage Days celebrations where he was a guest speaker. Former Castlegar man speaks at celebrations Former Castlegar resident Cecil C. Maloff, now of Grand Forks, was guest speaker at the recent Cowley Alta. Her. itage Days celebrations. This year’s Heritage Days theme was the town's Douk. hobor pioneers and their heritage. In his address to the crowd, Maloff noted, “I was born just a half-mile east of this little town of Cowley, on a farm where my brother Pete is now living.” He said he has travelled extensively throughout Can- ada and the U.S., but “have yet to see a more beautiful scenery than Cowley.” Maloff said he has “learned much from these surround. ings and its people, who were always warm and pleasant to me.” He pointed out that his schooling was limited “be- cause of domestic circum- stances, but nevertheless I'm thankful to my ancestors for their inspiration, enlighten- ment and enchantment which gave me a soul of under- standing.” * Maloff pointed out that “as man and his mind progresses, 80 also his ideals grow.” He then outlined briefly the his- tory of Doukhobors. He said only a few indi- vidual thinkers “thought it was time to start an idea of non-violence” at the end of the 16th century. “And as the mind grasped the essence of these ideals that were practised by Jesus Christ and his followers, these simple people took up the ideas and tried to put them into practice.” Maloff said “it got to the point that there were over 7,000 people gathered to gether for this same cause” — not all Russians. Some were Finns, Ukrainians, French and English, he said. He said their ideas con. flicted with the Russian Czar and the group was perse. cuted for years until finally they moved to Canada. “The struggle went on even in Canada,” said Maloff, but eventually “people began to realize that violence and force are out of date.” “It was only a few Douk hobors who practised non. violence in the past, but now even in... New York, there (have been) well over a million souls who (have) marched for peace.” _..for Your Convenience We're Job openings Pulpit & Pew i , ¢ — are fadi ‘are tading into hist MONTREAL (CP) — They were the uniform of a Blue, with five pockets and made of 14 ounces e< denim, they were faded, shrunk and over time were held together with patches. Ah, the blue jean. But whilé this staple of youthful haberdashery still commands high prices in far flung parts of the world, in North America jean makers are singing the blues because your basic pair of jeans is, well, fading out of public fashion. Canadian sales of jeans have dropped from 30 million pairs a year to 20 million over the last two years while in the United States sales of jeans have remained virtually unchanged. More telling perhaps is the declining demand for denim, cotton and corduroy. In 1979 Canada imported 412.6 million square metres compared to 324.2 million square metres in 1983. Dominion Textile Inc. of Montreal, Canada’s largest denim producer, reports a 40-per-cent drop in demand for denim. Jeclining sales have also caused a shakedown of manufacturers and retailers. Neil Asselin, director of marketing for Wabasso, a major denim producer, said manufacturers and retailers are “just covering their costs” in the jean business. Asselin calculated that the number of Canadian jeans manufacturers has dropped from 130 two years ago to just around the current level of 70, cutting industry em ployment by about 30 per cent to 17,000. CLOSES PLANTS Levi Strauss and Co. of San Francisco, the world's largest jeans manufacturer, has in the last two years closed 22 U.S. plants and has merged three Canadian plants into one. Meanwhile, Wrangler, another major jeans maker, has closed nine U.S. and two Canadian factories. And H.D. Lee of Canada Ltd. recently announced it was closing its Napanee, Ont., plant, putting 200 people out of work. The story is the same at the retail level. Montreal based Jean Junction, with 77 outlets across the country, declared bankruptcy in 1982, with debts of more than $7 million. The 35-store Pant City went the same route. “The denim market is heading in a different direc tion,” acknowledged Joel Carmen of Over the Rainbow, a retail outlet which offers 90 styles of jeans. “A lot of manufacturers are taking other fabrics and colors and mixing them into jean cuts, like cotton twill in a 10-ounce or eight-ounce jean.” Sidney Aptacker, who owns Montreal-based Pant orama Ine. the country’s largest jean retailer with 150 outlets, said sales of the basic blue jeans are way down. “In 1981, the 14-ounce jean represented about 75 pere cent of our pant sales, compared to 25 per cent for fashion pants. Today it's about a 60-50 split. And the way OUT OF FASHION? ... North American jean makers are singing the blues because your basic pair of jeans is, well, fading out of public fashion Canadian sales have dropped about ten million over the last two years. things are going fashion jeans may soon represent 75 per cent of our pant sales.” Why the decline? “Our primary target group of 14- to 18-year-olds is still buying the most units,” said Gord Shank of Levi Strauss Canada Ltd. “But that segment of the population has shrunk in excess of 20 per cent over the past two or three years.” Lest blue-jean lovers despair of growing old and of never being able to find a pair of jeans in town, Michael Corson of Blue Bell Canada Inc., makers of Wrangler and Calvin Klein, says jeans will never fade away completely. “There will always be jeans, because they're the best garment for your money in terms of durability and style. The market will never die. It will just keep changing.” Wills: they're a must By ROBERT McLEOD Preas No one likes to think about death much, particularly when they are young, but the importance of writing a will cannot be over-emphasized, experts say. If someone dies without a will — or intestate, as it is called — it can cause considerable extra grief, bickering among family members and may mean those the dead person wants to provide for don't get a share of the estate.

Think with me about some of these concepts. Is it not true that many unchurched people look at the church as a relic of the past, full of traditions and forms that have very little bearing on modern day liv with Now you can lose up to 8 Ibs. in two weeks with Weight Watchers Quick Start Program. And you pay only $9.00 to join, saving of 40% if you sign up before Cconeemer 30th. All across B.C., men and women are finding that losing weight is faster and ing? They see the various churches seemingly compet ing to get people into their building, their program, and involved in supporting their budget. In their search for lead. ership, congregations are tempted to be in a constant “superstar” with the ability to attract many persons into their church building. But is that what Christ our Lord had in mind for His church? In the 13th chapter of Mat- thew, Jesus tells the story of the weeds in the field. As he explains this parable to his disciples in verses 36 to 43 he plainly says: “The field where the good seed is to be sown is the world.” In other words, Christians are to minister to a needy world, by bringing Christ's love, acceptance and forgive- ness to bear upon the every day lives of the people they mingle with throughout the week Jesus also spoke of Chris tians being “salt.” In a quote from Jerry Cook's book, “Salt, to have any effect at all must be mixed with the sub- stance that needs salt. No body but a collector sets up saltshakeres and admires them.” If the chureh is to be in the world having a beneficial re- sult, it means that individual members need first of all to be brought to “wholeness” serve, and released to min ister in Jesus’ name. The pastor is not to be seen as a superstar drawing peo- ple into a chureh building, but as a facilitator preparing God's people for works of service outside of the church building. In this concept, Christians go to church to worship and to be refreshed and inspired The real work of the church goes on during the whole week as “Spirit-filled Chris. tians meet other peoples needs in Jesus's name.” By the way, I don't think the churches of our com munity are on the wrong track! For the most part, we all would like to see every Christian working together in harmony and carrying the good news of the Christian faith in a winsome manner to all those who as yet have not seen who Christ is, and the peace and hope and purpose He alone can bring to our lives. This is just a plea to ex amine our motives for church work and to seek to exalt hy the court to-sort out who should get what, says Burt Clapperton, vice-president of personal trust services for Canada Permanent. “This means you get into a very arbitrary form of dis. tribution,” he said. “In many cases it could hit the mark but I suggest that in many other cases it falls far short of the mark.” Wills can range from the simplest note scrawled on apiece of paper to a lengthy and complicated document drawn up by a lawyer. DO YOUR OWN Handwritten wills, called holograph wills, don't require a lawyer and can consist merely of a statement saying who you want to get what. Such a holograph will must be dated and signed but doesn't need witnesses. A will should also say that all previous wills made are no longer valid and be updated every few years to take into account any new possessions. For more involved estates, many people recommend a lawyer set up the will. For the simpler type of document, the cost can range from about $75 to $150. In making a will, you must appoint an executor — a person who will sort out funeral arrangements, administer the will and make sure it is carried out as stated. It ean be a demanding task and therefore choosing who is to execute your will “should be a very thoughtful decision,” Clapperton said. NOT FAMILY He is a strong proponent of naming an independent executor, rather than a member of the family, for example, because it will avoid any conflicts of interest or dis- agreements. For example, leaving household goods to the children “as they agree” can be the signal for bitter disputes, he said. In addition, if the will is more than just a simple “I leave everything to my wife” variety, considerable expertise may be needed. “You can’t expect your brother or widow or even a lawyer to be a specialist in taxes, real estate, insurance, sale of a business and the stock market,” said Clapperton. If you opt for a trust company to hold the will and act as executor, certain costs are involved FEESVARY ~ Executor's fees vary slightly from province to province, said Clapperton, but in general they will cost the equivalent of about five per cent of the assets of the estate But this would not include such items as property that is jointly owned, pensions benefits or registered retirement savings plans. These pass automatically to the surviving spouse. If there is a need for ongoing management of a trust, the cost is about five per cent of the value of that trust's income a year. But this fee is tax deductible. If you die without a will, the job of settling the estate is taken over by the Surrogate Court, where someone will be named to administer it Levj Strauss losing profits SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — to fade.
