But the increase has been trimmed to match legislation now before the Commons which limits cost-of-living raises in the monthly baby bonus cheques. Under amendments to the Family Allowances Act, 1986 cheques rise by one per- centage point — to $31.58 per child from $31.27 in most provinces — rather than the usual four percentage points. Even though the legis- lation is still before Parl- iament, the government has said there are ample prec- edents to proceed with the cuts beginning in January. Family allowances are paid to 3.6 million families on behalf of 6.6 million children. Parents in all parts of Canada out side Quebec and Alberta would normally be entitled to $32.52 a month per child. Quebee and Alberta have opted for different ways of distributing family allowance benefits to parents, but the payments on average are the same as in other provinces. ‘The announcement Friday also says the child tax credit for the 1985 taxation year will increase to $384 per child based on family income. The maximum tax credit for the 1984 tax year is $367 a child. @FAST COURTEOUS SERVICE GENUINE MAYTAG PARTS OWE SERVICE ALL MAKES SPECIALIZE IN MAYTAG CASTLEGAR PLUMBING & HEATING LTD. 1008 Columbia Ave., Castlegar, B.C. 365-3388 imney RUMFORD PLACE Super Sweep Chimney Services Ltd. re * Complete Masonry Work © Chimney Lining * Contihied Fire Satety Inspections 735 Columbia Ave. 141 WEST K CONCRETE LTD.

He said that in future years of the agreement — which runs until 1989-90 — the Nelson region will seek its fair share of allocations.

For the 1985-86 year, the Nelson region was allocated 10,668 hectares for surveys, 1,281 hectares for backlog planting and 1,326 hectares for site rehabilitation, McNaughton said. Of those totals, the Kootenay Lake and Arrow forest districts were allo- cated 3,104 hectares for surveys, 99 hectares for backlog planting and 407 whieh runs until Maréh 31 — isn't finished.

To qualify, a site must have been in that condition for five years in the areas damaged by last summer's fires will not be affected by the agreement. In the Nelson forest region, McNaughton said there are 104,000 hectares of good to medium backlog sites. Besides backlog planting, two other basic programs under the agreement are intensive forest management, and implementation, communication and evaluation, McNaughton said. Communicating the results of the hectares for site McNaughton said the $185,410 allo- cated to Kootenay Lake and Arrow districts resulted in 819 man-days of employment in the two districts.

Negotiations between PWA and unions representing ticket agents and mechanics will be held in Calgary, Lawless said. Tim Eaton, spokesman for PWA's striking employees in Calgary, said the agreement between the Calgary-based Charges denied, A2 airline and the International Associa tion of Machinists was made after a two-hour meeting in Winnipeg. “Both parties stated they wished to arrive at a collective agreement and will negotiate around the clock to try to achieve a collective agreement,” said union chief negotiator Bob ‘The meeting with the ticket agents’ union was held in Toronto. Exploratory talks were held Friday in Vancouver between PWA and the Canadian Airline Flight Attendants’ Association. About 1,8000 PWA employees walk ed off their jobs Nov. 20 over company demands for more than 200 concessions they claimed would gut their contracts. The airline said the concessions are necessary if the company is to compete in Canada’s deregulated air industry. Meanwhile, in Winnipeg a labor organizer says he was charged with assaulting a police officer and ob- structing justice after police moved in to escort trucks across a Pacific West ern Airline picket line Friday Colin Trigwell, an employee of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, said he was one of about 50 people picketing outside the cargo office of the strikebound airline when he was Trigwell said the other pickets were “Before I knew what happened, I was on the snowbank, with four poliee- men on top of me.

Last month, three people suffered minor injuries when a carrying airline trainees was attacked as jt passed through a picket line outside the airline's Winnipeg office. Mike Maclsaac, a representative of the Manitoba branch of the Canadian Laber Congress, said police taunted the pickets Friday as if to incite violence. He said one officer said “come on, come on” as they stood face to face. “I was thrown to the ground three times and my shoulder is still pretty sore.” John Urchenko, Winnipeg’s deputy chief of police, declined to comment on how police handled Trigwell. He said police were there because the pickets were blocking trucks and that led to the incident. Urehenko said police can never win in a labor dispute. “We try to stay neutral, although Manitoba Federation of Labor have we aren't p way.” CASTLEGAR'S CRIME RATE By SIMON BIRCH Staff Writer Fewer thefts and assaults, no murders but five more drug busts occurred during the first eight months of 1985 in Castlegar compared to the same period in 1984, according to the most up-to-date statistics from the Castlegar RCMP. Otherwise, the best way to describe crithe in the Castlegar area is: No change. SUNDAY FEATURE “The overall picture remains pretty much the same,” Staff Sgt. John Stevens, head of the Castlegar detach ment, said Thursday. Stevens said the two major crimes committed in 1985 were the armed robbery of the Mohawk gas station on Columbia Avenue in March and the arson at the Doukhobor Village in September. He also noted that the majority of crimes committed in the area were not crimes of violence. But the statistics do not include the last four months 8 and Stevens said the fall is usually “the busiest ” of the year for the RCMP in the area ume owever, Stevens anid he has a “good idea” of what's ‘The computer years.

He also noted statistics. break-ins — theft over $200 theft under $200 “There are no problem areas,” Stevens said.
