Withdrawal of federal sales tax subsidies means that in some provinces the tax will tise by three percentage points as early as October. B.C. and Alberta now are the only pro- vinces not expecting sales tax increases. Federal Finance Minister Jean Chretien said at a one- day meeting of finance minis- ters in Winnipeg the measure was only intended as a “short- term kick” to induce spending and would be too expensive to continue. ‘The B.C. sales tax for most items was reduced to five per cent from seven in an April 10 budget Ends Aid to 16-18 Age Group Human Resources Minister Bill Vander Zalm said last The Castlegar Rotary Club invites you to attend thelr...

Vander Zalm said in an interview that giving social assistance to teenagers only encourages them to leave home when they are involved in family disputes. The minister said the new policy has been in effect for about a month, but was not publicly announced. Dascher told the board a recent provincial cabinet order-in- council made possible the board's adoption of the pro- jects. Included in the preliminary plans were construction of a $38,000 fire wall and install- ation of an $8,000 intruder alarm system, at Twin Rivers. Plans at Kinnaird Junior Secondary call for $195,600 worth of construction of a music room, gym storage, showers, change rooms and corridor extension; a $2,100 sewer con- nection; $14,000 upgrading to the electrical system; $2,000 upgrading to the intruder alarm system; installation of a $3,000 smoke detection system; construction of two fire walls at a cost of $79,000. Planned at Kinnaird Ele- mentary are a $9,600 upgrading of the electrical system; in- stallation of a $3,000 smoke de- tection system; construction of a $41,000 fire wall. The board also decided to instruct the architect to start on working drawings upon ap- proval of the sketch plans, and voted to submit the working drawings to the education ministry and the Insurance Corporation of B.C. for ap- proval. Trustees also voted to re- quest the ministry to go to tender for the projects upon its approval of the working draw- ings. Rapco Foam can cut your fuel bills Regional District of Cen- tral Kootenay directors will vote next Thursday on a pro- posed request that the provin- cial government place a mora- firms to tell them whether a particular product is safe to use. He said the safety of all chemicals should be determined by an independent testing torium on the use of 2,4-D and . body. other chemical defoliants, Area H director Norman Brewster's motion to recom: mend the phenoxy family of herbicides not be used until proven safe was tabled Satur- day for further study by the RDCK board after a spokesman for the Slocan Valley Resource Society made a presentation calling for a ban on the de- foliants. Supporting the society's presentation to the board were 25 letters from such diverse groups as the Nelson city council, the Society for Pollu- tion and Environmental Con- trol, local health food stores, restaurants and numerous in- dividuals, mainly living in the Slocan Valley. Martin Hykin, the Winlaw resident speaking for the so- ciety, noted a recent newspaper story reported the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had linked phenoxy herbicides with cancer. Brewster said the high- ways ministry stopped using chemical defoliants along roads in the Slocan Valley this year because of strong citizen pro- test there. Slocan Valley residents last year alleged a crew spray- ing defoliants along rail-rights- of-way had sprayed into yards where children played and directly into running streams. Supporting Brewster's call for a moratorium on spraying the herbicides on tracks, roads and rights-of-way was Area I director John Moran. Moran said governments should stop relying on chemical Those arguing in favor of a moratorium on the use of 2,4-D and its cousins noted that West Kootenay Power and Light had voluntarily decided to use no chemicals on its right of way, and instead does all needed clearing by hand and machine. Several directors said they either find chemical defoliants necessary, or said alternative means of reducing weed prob- lems must be put forward before the use of ch The Saturday objections by the regional board to the use of the chemical represent a changed attitude from that displayed several weeks ago. At that time the ministry of highways notified the district of pending spray programs along roads on the east side of Kootenay Lake and east of Creston. The board was asked whether it had any objections, but none was voiced. “The Saturday meeting also dealt with a letter from Dow Chemical of Canada, which in- vited the regional district to sit on its “industrial vegetation stopped. “I'm just as much against 2,4-D as you are, but I just can’t see any alternative,” said Char- lie Wilson, who represents Crawford Bay and the south leg of Kootenay Lake. deff Keenan, the alter- native director for areas east of Creston, also said chemical control of weeds should not be summarily dismissed. Keenan and Wilson both said the costs of manually controlling weed growth will be “enormous,” and have to be considered when deciding -whether to ban or limit the use sof chemicals. The regional district board did not move to join the Dow Chemical-sponsored associa- tion. At the same meeting, the regional board received re- quested information from the ministry of highways about its © local spray programs this year. Along with rail firms and B.C. Hydro, the ministry is a major user of herbicides in this pro- vince. The information package showed there are seven major spray programs planned, cover- ing a total 44 hectares (a hectare is 10,000 square met- res) in the central Kootenays. over 50 varleties TOMORROW, FRIDAY, JULY 14 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Castlegar Hotel West Coast Seafoods cominco Swammet Safety SERIES Step 1.
