In 1977 Canadian females. lived an average 77.5 years, up from 75.2 in 1961, and sec-' ond only to women in Swe- den. Also in 1977, Canadian males had a life expectancy of 70.2 years, slightly less than males in Sweden (72.1), the Netherlands (71.2) and Swit- zerland (70.3), but longer than men in France, the United States, West.

CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 23, 1981 Old eyeglasses serve a need TORONTO (CP) — Two Ontario doctors have used hundreds of cast-off eye- glasses and a Canadian eye- testing machine to give clear vision to more than 600 people living in two poor, remote Mexican villages. Arlene Hackner, 27, an optometrist from Port Perry, Ont., said in an interview some of the elderly female villagers “hadn't been able to do any handicrafts for 20 ears.” “They put on these glasses and they were just so excited that they could start back to sewing again,” she said. She said some of the people in the tiny villages of Chapaia and Ajijic, about 50 kilom- who had never seen properly before were astounded when they put on the glasses. Isolated by bad roads and living on an average annual income of $300, Hackner said the people had never re- ceiced any eye care. Several children had quit school because they: couldn't see, she said, and one little girl, amazed when the world suddenly fell into focus, burst into tears when her glasses were taken off so she could try on another pair. Hackner's colleague, opto- metrist Shirley Kovacs, 26, of St. Thomas, Ont., spent two weeks in the villages ona trip paid for by the Ontario F etres outside u thought they were going blind and the young children ‘ion and the Canadian Foundation for World Development. Alberta still EDMONTON (CP) — A stronger, more diverse Al- berta economy — less depen- dent oil: and natural gas — was a Heritabe Savings Trust Fund promise Premier Peter Lougheed made five years ago. The fund now contains $9 billion in government re- source revenue but there is little evidence of a diversified economy —Alberta depends on oil as never before. Oil companies, chartered banks and financial institu- tions have grown spectacu- larly and now account for more than half of the gross provincial product, which soared to $41 billion in 1980 from $7.8 billion in 1971. i t berta’s economy for tomor- row is, optimistically, several years away. ‘WE'VE GOT TIME’ “We've got time,” he said. “We're generally fully em- ployed today in Alberta.” Planche said he may soon use trust fund money to support risky but innovative high-technology projects in areas ranging from pharma- icals and to Dream house not for them NORTH VANCOUVER (CP) — It may be a dream home, with its fireplaces, _whirlpools, oak doors and contemporary furnishings, but the Pacific National Ex- hibition prize home wasn't the dream of Ray and Ruth Swift. “We thought about it a long time,” Ray said. “But we decided that we weren't about to pull up our roots and move from North Van to Co- quitlam.” grassroots are here and we weren't really taken with the site in Coquitlam.” The house included oak doors, trim and railings, two whirlpool baths, three fire- places, a sauna and hot tub, mini-conservatory, complete furnishings and venetian blinds. ‘Swift said the house, with 870 square metres of living space spread over six levels, was too big for he and his So the Swifts advised PNE | president Erwin Swangard that instead of the prize home and its accompanying lot in suburban Coquitlam, they're rather have $250,000 in cash —not a bad return for $16 worth of tckets, Swift said part of the $250,000 would pay for a planned trip to Hawaii and the rest could be invested. “The home was very nice and my wife was broken- hearted to give up all the beautiful furnishings that went with the house,” Swift said. “But we like it too much in North Our wife, who have their own condominium. The: decision not to take the home was a rare move and marked the first time that the PNE board has of- fered the winner the choice between taking the home or cash, Swangard said the offer was made to ease financial bl for the installing, landscaping and finishing the house on its accompanying lot. “Some people who win the house take it and sell it,” Swanguard said. . “Others take the house and live in it. What it amounts to this year is that we bought the house back from the winner.” " He said that if the Swifts took the home, the.

What if all the failures happen first?” Planche said one option might be to “follow the private sector with risk moeny,” offering low-int: it Norrie, in a report to the Economic Council of Canada, said the province is too far from markets, its labor force is too small and its wages too high to support an economy based on manufacturing.

Another might be to help set up a mercantile banking sys- tem for busi: si better oil rigs. “There is a need for finan- cial talent in Alberta, for Canadian i d to those used by United States and European inves- tors. prep to wait years for a return.” One international financial expert has suggested a gov- ernment-financed, indepen- dent department to encour- age p and new tion and have de- clined in relative importance. Agriculture, once the cor- nerstone of the province's wealth, accounts for just five per cent of it and manufac- turing’s contribution fell to seven per cent in 1980 from nine per cent in 1971. Economic Development Minister Hugh Planche says a plan to use today's oil and gas revenue to prepare Al- + “It would take at least half a billion dollars — but not more than a billion — to get Alberta going on this,” said Belden Daniels, who studied the trust fund last year for the Opposition Social Credit party. Planche dismissed the idea because government money would be needed and that has slipped as a government priority since 1976 despite $429 million injected from the trust fund into the Alberta opportunity Co. and the Al- berta Agricultural Develop- ment Agency. Daniels said the bulk of the trust fund is being used ‘in the same way as a bank savings account, to earn money through loans and bonds to create “a long-term pension plan for Alberta.” MAY The government is plan- ning to expand its trust fund means P and gui He said such Civic, 4 door sedan, 4-s| 1978 CIVIC narch, gray, Y THESE USED VEHICLES 1980 HONDA Immaculate, only 13,600 km. ... = $4595 1978 HONDA Accord, automatic, silver .....++++++ Station wagon, rec! clean..... 1978 MERCURY $4995 85,000 km., 4-dr. $5595 55695 an approach won't work in the hurly-burly world of ven- ture capital finance. NEEDS GUT FEELING “A fellow needs a gut feeling to invest in these kinds of things. How do we do that with public money?” There are also the political portfolio but the goal won't be diversification. Provincial Treasurer Lou Hyndman said a commercial investment division will buy blue-chip stocks of Alberta, Canadian and foreign com- panies by Christmas. “But we'll be looking simply at earning the highest return.” Two University of Alberta ists feel oil dollars of ing pub- lic money into risky deals. “If we invest in 10 com- panies seven could fail, two should not be used to diver- sify the economy.

Party leader Rod Sykes said only four per cent of 514 people surveyed by a con- sulting firm felt trust fund money should be reserved for the future. Most wanted trust-fund dollars poured into better medical care, social. services, education and used to help people rather than saved for a rainy day. d Social WHAT HAPPENS THEN? “What happens when the resource revenues run out? Yu can't subsidize the indus- tries forever.” The Social Credit party said a recent survey shows Albertans think the trust Credit’s approach to the fund as bizarre. “There's no question the vast majority of Albertans support a savings fund where asmall part of revenues from depleting resources are saved for the future.” gard said a final de- cision on the future of the prize home probably won't be made until the board of dir- . sectors receive a recommen- dation from staff ‘at.: their regular meeting on Sept. 80... He said the options being = considered include either placing the house on the lot in Coquitlam or another PNE- owned lot in White Rock and selling it, or keeping the home and recycling it with possible design changes as next year’s lottery prize. time to part time.
