A8 CASTLEGAR NEWS, August 16, 1981 Few dailies short of paper BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A few Canadian daily newspapers are beginning to feel the pinch in supplies of newsprint as a_ result of strikers in British Columbia aper mills. Generally, however, news- d the effects strikers, which started in mid-July with a minimum of change or nail biting. A survey by The Canadian Press found that only news- papers in B.C. and Alberta have noticed any effects from the strikes. Papers in other parts of the country are supplied by mills which are still operating normally. Dailies in the western United States, many of which count heavily on B.C. imports for their newsprint supplies, But once the strike is settled, the beginning of another round of price in- creases is likely. Newsprint now costs about $500 a tonne, with another increase due Sept. 1.

It was set Thursday at 21.07 per cent, down from a record 21.24 per cent the week before, and the first fall since Aug. 23. The small drop, however, was not enough to reduce interest rates at Canada’s d banks where the publ of Journal, estimates supplies at 30 days, plus committed shipments for another 20 days.

He suggested that if the B.C. strike is a long one and some western papers found their newsprint supplies critically short, eastern users might agree to take less than their contracts call for so emergency shipments could go West. in the Atlantic provinces, newspapers traditionally get supplies from nearby or regional mills and are having no difficulty with supplies.

Increases in costs of shel- ter, food and transportation were blamed for the July increase. The jump means that last month it would have cost $238.90 to buy what would have cost $100. in 1971.

Economists said it is too early, and there are too many factors involved, to be able to say whether interest rates haved reached a peak or may decline soon. If there is any drop, officials expect it to be small. A major factor is the U.S., where the govern- ment is under growing pressure domestically and internationally to ease its interest rates.

The price is $40. a share, a total of $500 million.

SOME BRIGHT SIGNS Some carefully optimistic economic forecasts appeared this week. The Conference Board of Canada said in its latest quarterly outlook that most areas in Canada will exper- ience improved growth this year and next. Production ‘‘will grow by over three per cent this year and nearly as quickly in 1982, after exhibiting scarcely any gain in 1980,"" it said. But growth is expected to slow this year in Alberta, where oil and gas explora- tion have dwindled, and in British Columbia, because of labor disputes. The Royal Bank of Canada’s index of 11 lead- cost Dome 1.96 billion. Dome offered Hudson's Bay Oil shareholders one $50. convertible preferred share for each of their shares. Hudson's Bay Co. of Winnipeg, which owns about 10 per cent of Hudson’s Bay Oil, indi- cated it will reject the offer. “We're not happy with the offer because we feel it is too low,” said Rolph Huband, vice-president and secretary of Hudson’s Bay, the giant retailer which also controls The Bay, Zeller’s Ltd. of Mon- treal and Simpsons Ltd. of Toronto. “I think that if Dome wants all the stock it would ing called for a gradual process of recovery in the fourth quarter of this year, after slow or no growth earlier. Final tests have con- firmed substantial quanti- ties of oi] and natural gas from Esso Resources Can- ada Ltd.’s Issungnak 2-0-61 well in the Beaufort Sea. Esso said test results show substained flows totalling almost 6,500 barrels of oil a day, and almost 50 million cubic feet of gas. The National Energy Board has reversed an earlier decision and ruled that a natural gas pipeline should be extended to the Maritimes from Quebec City. Going away to college?

VINSIT 365-7292 Biological control tested Deep in the woods of the Nelson forest region exper- iments are going on to test biological controls of the mountain pine beetle. There is nothing sinister about the activities except to say they could give forest service and forest industry planners the force they have been looking for to end the spread of the infestation. Already, more than 80,000 h of lod; le pine This experiment ends when there are no more beetles found in the trap basket. Cool weather earlier in the summer has delayed the flight of the bugs by two weeks, In the meantime, access- ible forest land in Jaffray, Creston and Invermere coun- try is being used for insect control experiments using pheromones without insect- icides. forest in the East Kootenays have decimated by the bee- tle. Select trees near Craven Creek in the Cranbrook for- est district have been baited with a synthetic version of the pherome trans verbenol, a chemical substance pro- duced by the subject to signal an attack on pine trees. A vial of the liquid pher- omone and a vial of pine tree extract placed in an alum- inum holder lures bugs by the score. A pin hold opening in thelid of each vial allows for the slow release of the contents into the air by evap- oration. The beetle doesn’t know it but the tree it is about to enter has been treated with an insecticide. The poison kills the beetle before it can manufacture another pheromone telling it when to exit the host. “The idea,” says regional pest managment coordinator Andy Renwick, “is to use the defence mechanisms of the beetle as agents for control- ling its behaviour. “The beetle will continue to attack and be killed by trees baited with phero- mones, tree extract and insecticide. Assessing the results of this treatment is a matter of taking a weekly body count of the bugs that have fallen dead into trap basket gird- ling the trunk of the tree. “This trial should tell us how many beetles are flying each week so we can chart flight patterns and peak periods,” says Renwick. Data about the flight hab- its of the insects can be used to adjust insect surveys and for making control decisions. For example, the hauling of pine logs can be suspended during flight times to pre- vent the spread of the infest- ation. Pest officers in these areas have baited four trees per hectare with the pheromones and tree extract in the hope of induc- ing large populations of bee- tles to a site. When that happens, the site can be logged and clean- sed of beetlés. The success of this control ni i ined by stages, Renwick concludes both controls are effective © ways to mop isolated popu- lations of beetles from the main body of an attack. “Biological controls are reasonable on a small scale,” says Renwich. “It’s one more weapon in our arsenal a- gainst insects.” It also fits the new game plan of controlling beetles and reduces the emphasis placed on salvaging dead wood. That plan agreed to by forest service and forest industry planners at the East Kootenay Insect and Disease Control Committee means , the harvest of dead wood will take a back seat to the protection of the 250,000 hectares of healthy pine forest in the East Kootenays. is the amount of boring dust and pitch tubes spotted on trees attacked and entered by the bugs. _ Although both experim- ents are still in their early "says Ren- wick’ “green trees have more value than dead ones. They are easier to mill. We're trying to save what is alive. I hope these trials will help us do that.” - BUY THREE 4-LITRE CONTAINERS OF -ANY*- OLYMPIC PRODUCT AND GET THE FOURTH AT NO EXTRA COST!

Another is scheduled for Wednesday night. Much of the attention dur- ing the first few days of training camp was directed toward the line of Edmonton Oilers centre Wayne Gretzky, and forwards Steve Shutt and Guy Lafleur of Montreal Can- adiens. But Shutt was cautious. “It’s been proven in previous series that the big scorers don’t always do that well. It’s players like the Bobby Clar- kes and Bob Gaineys who do well because they play two- way game.” ” In the 1976 Canada Cup — won by Team Canada when it defeated Czechoslovakia in the .final game — it was Bobby Orr and Denis Potvin, uing fon and the Rec- reation and Sports Branch of “One of the purposes of the festival was to incorporate iduals with F ip: took part in such sports as lawn bowling, soccer, volleyball, dance exercise and horseback riding.

I think you'll see some real offensive hockey in this series.” ~ If the strategy backfires, however, Team Canada will need some swift skaters, a fact that was ‘supported by a comment from Minnesota | North Stars forward Steve Payne eailicr this week. “*] played against the Russ- fans three years ago,” he said. "they are the fastest, guys on a pair of skates that I’ve ever seen. “Even if I cut off both my arms I wouldn't be fast eno- ugh to catch some of them.” Marshall close te signing with Nésc York club NEW YORK (aS+ Mike Marshall, a former major~. league relief ace who won the Cy Young Award in 1974 with Los Angeles Dodgers, appears close to signing a baseball contract with New York Mets. Marshall, waived by Minn- esota Twins early last season, threw 15 minutes of batting practice at Shea Stadium on Saturday and Mets manager Joe Torre was scheduled to take another look at the reliever today. “He threw real well and he'll be back tomorrow,” Torre said. “If he can help this team in relief, and if I feel he can contribute, he'll be a part of this team.” Marshall has 1-3 with one save and a 6.19 earned run average in 321-3 innings with the Twins last season. He had a brief tryout with Montreal in spring training, but the Expos chose not to sign him. The Lions’ Larry Key carried the ball seven of 12 plays as B.C. drove the length of the field in the dying minutes, running out the clock on the Saskat- chewan 16-yard line to pre- serve a 28-24 win over the Roughriders for their fifth consecutive win. “I'd never been given res- ponsibility like that before,” says Key, “and I suppose everything depended on how I handled it. “The fact that I did what I needed to do, and at the end of it had maybe one or two plays left inside me, was like a gift.” The five-foot-nine, 188- pounder gained more than 1,000 yards rushing his first two years with the Lions, but missed eight games last year with a knee injury. This year, Key already has picked up 498 yards on just 68 carries and scored nien touchdowns. He has another touchdown via the pass. And he has momentum. “In Regina I had momen- tum, more strongly that ever before. I never looked at th clock. I was exhausted but the momentum was there. It was so simple, you got one first down and then you went for another.” The Ti-Cats, 4-2, and the only Eastern-team to beat a club from the West this year, could have some unexpected help in trying to contain the elusive Key. Yeteran linebacker Ben i i the back, apparently made consi- derable progress during the week and was listed as a probable starter. Hamilton, which holds a 12-6-3 edge over B.C. since interlocking play began, has not won in Vancouver since 0. Last year, the game ended in a 17-17 tie, but the Ti-Cats played that one without Clements, who rejoined the club.from the National Foot- ball League in the off-season and has been on an early- season tear, tossing 13 touchdowns already. GIVEN UP YARDAGE He'll be going against a defensive that has given up more than 400 yards passing in its last tow games. “Hamilton has played some good football and they deserve to be exactly where they are in the East - first,” says Lions’ head coach Vic Rapp. 4°-izi-sport-and-life:--- DAN WESTLEY, b Watch Your Money Grow With TERMa DEPOSITS Paying Interost of up to........
