(CP) — You:say your son's worried about your pot smoking and he just told you to get a haircut? Well, face it, dad, you're a member of the “hippie gener- ation” and are fast becoming a victim of a reverse gen- eration gap, says a Kingston pediatrician. Dr. Don Richardson told an addiction-awareness confer- ence here that the time is coming when parents will have to seek counselling be- cause their children don't understand them. Richardson said the change in drug p is sym- problems with a chemical ‘massage and pressures on barrier, he’ said. & Richardson, who operates a farm where drug users spend several months under- going rehabilitaion, says his method of therapy employs ‘body’ points to relax the person. He wants the people to relax and just do what human beings have always done — yell with anger or just have a good cry. $77,000 raised for treatment COQUITLAM (CP) — More than $77,000 has been contributed to send 13-year- old Chris Shirley to West for ofa bolic of the movement to a conservative lifestyle among the post-hippie children, who also favor a tighter, more conventional attitude toward sexual relations.

These operations could of- fer the same lending and borrowing services as Cana- dian banks, but couldn't ac- cept, deposits. Although some Canadian banks showed concern when Ottawa decided to let the foreigners act as real banks, the government was acting partly for their benefit. Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and Switzerland weren't al- lowing Canadian banks to do business in those countries until their own banks got the same opportunity in Canada. The government also felt that since the foreign banks already here they should play by the same rules as Cana- dian banks. The foreigners were rapidly building up as- sets — from a meagre $2.8 billion in June, 1977 to $10.4 billion by the same time this year. ‘And because most of the foreign operations were in- corporated under provincial laws governing lending in- stitutions, they could escape the watchful eye of the fed- eral government and the Bank of Canada. Now they have to maintain reserves with the Bank of Canada — money which they used to be able to loan. They will also have to ac- cept certain restrictions de- signed to protect Canadian banks. The domestic business of all the foreign banks to- gether can reach only eight per cent of the domestic business done by all the Can- adian banks, which was $206 billion. at the end of June, That means foreign bank assets can grow to only $16 billion, and they already are two-thirds of the way there.

One of his specialties is ed Labrador salmon. To fully savor the fish at its peak, he feels you ought to fly in an Otter to the Eagle River south of Goose Bay where he caught the sal- mon last summer. ‘ Then you should pan fry it in sizzling butter over a camp fire, sprinkle salt and pepper and take good whiffs of the northland’s open air as you taste each sweet and juicy mouthful. “There's only one strict rule I apply to fish cook- ery,” he said. “That is never to overcook. Other- wise you rob the fish of its natural juices and give it a dry and flabby texture. You should cook the fish to develop its flavor, not to” make it more tender.” MEASURES FISH As a general rule of thumb,. Rohmer measures the girth of a fish from its top across to its belly. His formula is then to cook it 26 minutes for each inch of its girth. When applied to the Labrador salmon he'd kept in the freezer for a whole year, the measure- ment turned out to be four’ inches. He gave credit to John Robarts, former premier of Ontario, for passing on to him 10 years ago his “no { peeking” recipe for baking Labrador salmon ') salmon in tightly sealed aluminum foil. iN a warned me that if I opened up the wrapping'te t ake’ A peck’ , too soon, the salmon would lose the flayor of its wine- dipped bread stuffing.

(AP) — There was joy, there ‘was sorrow. There was af- fection, there was disinter-— est. There were eggs and there’ were scrambled eggs. The students in Darlene Stiewig’s child development class at Hidden Valley High School were given a bunch of hard-boiled eggs last week and told to take care of them for a. weck.as though they were infants. - That meant naming .and dressing them, and drawing little faces on their shells. “Your baby is just like a real-life infant and can never be left alone,” the teacher told the students. Stiewig has conducted the same experiment for three years to give students an idea of the _responsibilities of parenting. “when they find out they will have babies, the students react like real :mothers,” she said, “Some are. excited and others are not.. They don't want the responsibil- ity.” : Senior Judy Johnson took: her egg.to her part-time ‘job as a‘lab technician, and the front office staff kept an eye on it while she was with pati- ents. But Carol London made the mistake of leaving her “child” unattended in a social studies class and the instruc- tor egg-napped it. The tea- cher.kept it overnight until London paid a ransom of cookies. x .

Provoked over exports VANCOUVER (CP) — In- - creased e: of Canadian lumber and other wood prod- ucts to the U.S. — at a time when that market is severely depressed — are provoking strong complaints from the western U.S. lumber indus- try. Lumbermen in Washing- ton and Oregon say B.C. producers enjoy an unfair advantage by reason. of dif- market,” said Bonker, “so when we export it to Japan, the ‘price is inflated, -and in some cases it has driven the price of standing timber up 100 to 1,000 per.cent over the past decade. While our prices go up, the Canadians lower their stumpage price to pre- vail in our market.” A study released by the Council of Forest Industries of B.C. says differences in the ion and tion of ferent ite sys- tems in the two regions. Stumpage is a cutting fee paid by logging companies to the government of the area in which they operate. “You have situations in which Canaidans are selling lumber and plywood and ce- ‘dar shake in our backyard cheaper than we can sell the same psoducts,” said Don L. Bonker, a Republican Wash- ington state senator. “Our timber is on the open Fast foods the two industries make dir- ect comparisons between U.S. and B.C. stumpage rates meaningless. MANY DIFFERENCES These differences include the quality ard size of tim- ber, patterns of lahd owner- ship and tenure, corporate income tax laws, export res- trictions and costs of har- vesting. One reason why U.S. stum- page levels are higher than in _ B.C. is because the quality can 'be-- and value of the’ shigher: The --U.S;~- Pacific -- fag Northwest is in the heart of the Douglas fir belt, which is more valuable than B.C's hemlock and balsam. The study says about 95 per cent of B.C.’s forest land is publiely-owned (Crown)' land. In the U.S. northwest, -68.per cent of forest land is publicly-owned, while 42 per cent is in private hands. Stumpage is not paid on pri- vate timber.. >. oe David University of B.C. says B,C. figures show 20 per cent of all timber cut in B.C. comes from land on which there is no stumpage. _ The right to log on public land in the U.S. is allocated through a bidding system. Logging operators bid on the stumpage price each is will- ing to pay. for logs in a given area. Stumpage is paid at a flat rate and does not vary with market conditions as in . BC Will bear brunt WINNIPEG (CP) — Fast- food restaurants will bear the brunt of consumer belt-tight- ening over the next decade, the president of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association predicts. “Fast food will be the sur- vival of the fittest,” Bill Vernon said in an interview.
