Under the hands of Kenneth J. White, formerly of Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, necessary reconstruction, repairs. and refurbishing have been completed to the hull and decking; fine finishing of the cockpit controls, seat and mechanical refurbishing remain to be completed.

President Ronald Reagan said ‘Tuesday the main ob- stacle to an accord will be finding a procedure to verify that both sides are complying with the ag . year-old Geneva arms talks were scheduled to recess. A Soviet spokesman said the negotiations may be extend- ed indefinitely. The talks were rejuven- ated by Gorbachev's week- end announcement that the Soviet Union is ready to negotiate separately on ban- ning medium-range from Europe within five years. The proposals from the U.S. negotiating team come on the same day that the seventh round of the two- P ly, the Kremlin had insisted on first reaching an agreement to limit Star Wars, the space-based anti- missile defence system prop- United States welcomes the willingness to siles separately.

The total is up sharply from the 2,816 cases reported in 1985 and made. 1986 the worst year for measles since 1979. Cases of the disease were reported in all provinces and territories, but outbreaks were especially severe in British Columbia, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. The vast majority of the people who got measles last year were children or young adults between the ages of five and 20, and the federal government's national advis- ory committee on immuniza- tion says better “catch-up” vaccination programs. are needed. “Programs to ensure that all children attending schools or day-care centres and young adults in post-secon- dary institutions have doc- umentary proof of measles vaccination or immunity should be strengthened,” The committee said in a state- ment published in the same weekly report. Measles is perhaps the most serious of the diseases that once were common in children. It can have a num- ber of bad side effects and occasionally leads to mental retardation or death. Major outbreaks of meas- les were reported at the end of 1985 and continued well into 1986.° British Columbia had a total of 7,148 reported cases during 1986, Manitoba had 3,449 cases and Nova Scotia 1,443. Ontario had 1,236 cases — not a large figure compared to the province's population — and the rest of the cases were scattered in other parts of the country. “Investigations of out- breaks suggest that the fac- tors responsible differed across the country and that there was no signle causative factor,” the national advisory committee said. ‘The type of vaccines used Vander Zalm wants to know about patronage VICTORIA (CP) — Pre- mier Bill Vander Zalm says if people get B.C. government consulting contracts as pat ronage, he wants to know about it. So he wants all such con- tracts to be cleared by his office before they are ap proved. “If there is any patronag I want to know about ii Vander Zalm said Tuesday. “The only way that I could find out is to see the con- tracts. “I don't expect there's any patronage . . . l expect it’s all clean, above board, no prob- lem. But unless I at least have a means of seeing a good number of them, I won't know what's happening.” In the government's cur- rent budget, $192 million was allotted for personal service contracts, which includes consulting fees. Vander Zalm said he had no idea how many consulting contracts there are with the government, but said he wanted “to get a handle on just what contracts are being let and the purpose of them in years past, improper stor- age of vaccines nad the fail- ure to identify and immunize unprotected youngsters all contributed to the problem. British Columbia had a half-dose vaccination pro- gram between 1967 and 1974 that turned out, in retros- pect, to be ill-advised. Mani- toba and Nova Scotia used a type of vaccine in the late 1960s and early 1970s that was less effective than other vaccines. Earlier studies have re- ported that some vaccines were improperly refriger- ated or not refrigerated at all. Measles vaccines also have to be protected from light and reconstituted with special fluids before use. CasNews Printing Tit of Fletcher Challenge, would not comment on the IWA ac- tion.
