Compilation of the new base is expected to take about two years. Premiums sex and marital status — only the price paid for the vehicle counts: The higher the car's price, the higher the pre- mium, James McCallister, auto and casualty manager of the Insurers Advisory Organi- zation of Canada, siad there is strong evidence that claims costs vary not according to sticker price, but by make, model and body style. The organization is a rate-making body owned by insurance companies. On Jan. 1, insurers began to record details on vehicle makes and models from dri- vers’ new and renewed pol- icies. RECORD DETAILS In July, when more 1984 cars are on the road, such variables as two-door models, four-doors, hatchbacks, sta- tion wagons, fuel systems and special engines will be recorded. As statistics de- veloped, ratemakers would be able to match claims losses with vehicle types. With car insurance com- pulsory across Canada, gov- ernment regulators in the seven provinces with private insurers have been complain- ing that the rigidity of the existing system makes it un- particularly to young drivers. Government-run plans in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia alrady have taken steps to simplify rating categories. In the seven provinces with private coverage, pre- miums paid by 20-year-old men in some cases run to thousands of dollars a year, even for those who have had no accident claim. McCallister said ratings based on vehicle characteris- ties would spread costs more fairly among all ages of dri- vers. Ratemakers would be able ged - to assess a vehicle's “damage- ability,” and test such safety features as crash-resistant bumpers, braking systems, body frames and overall de- sign. As a result, the insurers hope, car manufacturers would come under public pressure to build sturdier cars that would be cheaper to repair. “The existing system acts as a deterrent to buying extras that contribute to safety, since these only push up the sticker price and, COLLEGE TRAINING . . .

The Supreme Court Canada has set that date to hear the cruise case and the related constitutional ques- tion about whether judges can or should review certain decisions by politicians. Chief Justice Bora Laskin announced last month the Supreme Court would hear an appeal of a Federal Court of Appeal ruling that the fed- eral cabinet's decision to al- low the missile tests did not violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Consti- tution. While agreeing on that specific issue, the five appeal court judges delivered sep- arate decisions-on the broad- er issue of the courts’ role in Legion hamper requests increase There was a helped take ‘to those increase in requests for Christmas hampers from the Royal Canadian Legion this year.

Saas IAOHAW K OPENING SOON! lationship back on the tracks? That's the message in one of 10 cards created by Irene Alexander, who has started a company called Broken Hearts Cards Canada. Alexander says she got the idea when she went looking for’ a card to deal with a cer- . tain romantic situation — and couldn't find one. The only thing that came close was a card she found in New York on the way back from a vacation, which she found “bitter and very cat- ty. “It wasn’t that my heart was broken — it was a re- lationship that wasn't fol- lowed through,” the 31-year- old Winnipeg native said in an interview, adding that “Yes, I've been dumped in my lifetime. And divorced.” Alexander solved her dil- emma by creating her own saying and sending it off in a note. It worked; the relation- ship is still going strong. SHE’S NOT ALONE “I figured ‘Well gee, if that can work for me then it can work for someone else.’ I'm not the only female that’s had that kind of experience.” With encouragement from friends and help from a com- mercial artist, Alexander transformed a series of one- liners into cards done on glossy white paper with red drawings and print — de- signed to get a person's at- tention — and a response. The cards are not meant for revenge, Alexander says, open door I think you should always take the chance. Sometimes the guy will call you back or sometimes he won't — but at least you gave it the last effort.” One card has a set of lips on the front and the words “I didn't know you wanted your kisses to send me. . .” finishing on the inside wit! “away.” Or how about “So many nights of moonlight, cham- pagne and soft kisses . . . just to get dumped.” FOR MEN ONLY The cards are designed for women to sent to men — and not by accident. Alexander says she went after the fe- male market. “Men that I've shown them to really got reserved and standoffish,” she-said. “Men are always more reserved in their emotional standing than women are. A woman is al- ways more impulsive.” A couple of the cards at first glance wouldn't appear to be door openers. But even the one that opens up to say “You're a jerk!” is not meant to be of- fensive, Alexander says. “The sketch on the card is a nice guy in jogging shorts and track shoes and he's got a butterfly net and he’s chasing hearts. He’s jerky in the sense that he’s chasing hearts. But he's personable. He's not standing there being a jerk to her.” \ INDUSTRIAL FIRST AID COURSE DATES: Jan. 23 9:00 0 LOCATION: South Castlegar Fire Hall 2725 Columbia Avenue PEE: $225 REGISTER BY PHONE: 365-3904 or 365-2617 REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Jan. 18 i .m.-4 p.m. Intermodal. A word that defines a system using two or more forms of transportation. A new word. But an old concept at CP Rail The idea was born in Canada more than 100 years ago when The Dominion Atlantic Railway first put loaded farm wagons on flatcars, the horses in boxcars and the farmers in coaches for the tnp to market. Another form of intermodal service began when our first transcontinental train met the sailing ship W.B. Fint in Port Moody, B.C. Its cargo of silk bales from the Onent was carried across Canada to market, by rail. Road to rail to market.

DOOR-TO-DOOR RAIL SERVICE FOR CANADIAN BUSINESS In the 1980s, intermodal really caught on. High- way trailers were loaded on flatcars for trips over 300 miles. Piggyback came into its own. could move their shipments by road to the for transportation hundreds or thousands of miles to their customer's door. Piggyback meant faster delivery, less handling and lower fuel costs. It inspired new ideas about transportation. Containerization was one of them. Standardized containers - trailers without wheels meant the same shipment could be transferred from truck fo train to ship. International ports were the world became a reality, Intemational commerce took a giant step forward. AUNIQUE CONTAINER DESIGNED FOR CANADA Because Canada feo wait, we thought it needed a container system of its own.
