In Fort St. John in north- ern B.C., concerned truckers donated their time and fuel to sand dangerous sections of the Alaska Highway. And local activists organized a march for today in support of the government. “Either the unions are going to run this province or the government,” said one trucker. “Me, I'm for the government. At least you can vote them out every four years if you don't like them.” On Tuesday, more than 80 per cent of the 28,000 tea- chers, members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, and 14,000 members of the Can- adian Union of Public Em- ployees, who work as support staff at schools, joined the striking government employ- ees, throwing the school sys- tem into confusion.

Barnum with a touch of Walt Disney, is to grow again, ’ The owners of the mons- trous, 3$20,000-square-metre mall — it contains, besides stores, a full-sized skating rink, 11 movie theatres, an indoor amusement park, a series of towering fountains and an aviary — are planning to expand it by 100,000 square metres. The plans in- elude hundreds of new stores, a set of aquariums and a water wonderland, in-' eluding a lake the length of five football fields under a dome. The amusement park, which already ‘contains a merry-go-round, a swooping pirate ship and bumber cars, is to double in size by 1985 and include a “world-class _ par! roller-coaster.” The mall recently wrung a rezoning decision from city council that allows it to ex- pand. 3. Bes “Rubin Stahl, the president of the huge mall and spokes- man for the reclusive Gher- mazian brothers who are the financiers behind the centre, says the expansion of the amusement facilities is just the ticket to boost business at the shopping centre. “We need to bring in people from all walks of life, a cross-section of people to come to the mall,” he says. The mall was built in two phases. The second phase, the development could even. in- clude apartments, offices and a live theatre, although Stahl admits those are only ideas at this stage. Stahl says firm plans call for a 51-store boutique area to open next March and 250 more stores in phase three, construction of which is to begin next year. He says the water wonder- : land will include an artificial wave machine for surfing, a winch arrangement to haul water skiers across the lake at 40 kilometres an hour and a water slide section. The mall is already a gar- ish tourist attraction that | seems to operate on the idea ‘that biggest is best. It bills itself as having the country's largest toy store, the largest indoor McDonald’s, and the largest indoor amusement ke. Its publicity people work overtime on lures and gim- micks, including having Ed- : monton Oilers of the National Hockey.

Tour guides will ar- range to pick up convention- eers at downtown hotels and take them by bus out io the mall to take in the spectacle.

Early in the prime min- ister’s tour, his aides des- cribed Trudeau's trip to re- porters as an exercise in pri- vate diplomacy and said no news should be expected. They said the prime minis- ter carried several proposals to West European leaders and that he hopes to develop a concensus among NATO leaders to help break the deadlock in the Geneva talks.

Under the new program, transfer funds from the pro- vince to public-sector em-’ such as municip-* alities; school boards, unit~ versities and other institu- tions — will be based on the assumption that workers will receive an average wage in- i crease of five per cent. “We're not in a firm, fixed wage-control program,” Treasurer Grossman told reporters. “It’s a trans- fer-payment-control system.” ‘The new program means, for example, that employees of a hospital can bargain for more than a five-per-cent in- crease in wages, but the province is only providing funds for a five-per-cent in- crease.
