Handymen Finding stocking stuffers for home handymen can be a problem. = The Workers’ Compensa- tion Board suggests that small Safety items may be a good idea for Christmas gifts — giving to & person who spends time working on projects around the home and yard. = Ear plugs, to be worn ‘when using noisy machinery, ost only pennies a pair. They éan be bought from safety gupply outlets and will be 3tocked on request at drug atores. s + Disposable masks keep Sawdust, paint splatters and other airborne particles away from the nose. They are cheap and can be found at hardware Stores and, sometimes, tool iental outlets. : More expensive but well worth the money when a person is using a yard chain gaw are shin guards — “bullet- proof” pads which fit inside or over the wearer's pants and protect the legs. Professional loggers always wear guards, Which can be found at logging Squipment dealers and safety supply houses. = Goggles or safety glasses protect the eyes. They can be purchased at hardware stores or department stores — and if , they are ever put to the test by “gchip of wood or other material flying towards the eyes, they ¢ould prove to be the best gift the wearer ever had.

The company announced that arrangements have been completed with all chartered banks to accept gas bills at teller stations, Inland states that payment will be accepted hot just at the consumer's own bank, but at any bank any- where in the province. Inland pointed out that if the consumer has a Master Charge, Chargex or any other non-chargeable chequing ac- count, their bank will usually accept payment with no charge; otherwise the banks may make a small charge for the new service, The utility spokesman said that negotiations have also been completed with a large number of credit unions in the Interior, and those branches that have agreed to participate will accept members’ gas bills usually without charge. Inland officials stated that the new arrangements for pay- ments at banks and credit unions should add a new dimension in bill paying con- venience for its CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, November 23, 1978 | would like to thank all of those who worked for me and supported me at the polls on Saturday, | will continue to work on your behalf for education in our district.
