By coincidence, next year both groups will mark Easter on the same day. “The proposal is to make it the rule from next year that Easter falls.on Sunday follow- ing the second Saturday of the month,” said Msgr. Charles Moeller of the Secretariat for Christian Unity. He said a major obstacle was the problems’ the Eastern Orthodox Christians faced in * obtaining unanimous approval from their independent and loosely organized churches.

Both were taken to Castlegar and District: Hos- pital. Winter still has a grip on most of interior British Colum- bia, but in the Creston Valley preparations are well under. way for the annual wildlife spectacle of the migration of whistling swans, As inquiries begin to ar- rive from the prairies: and various parts of B.C., staff of the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area are guessing when the swans and the visitors will arrive. The new Wildlife Centre building is scheduled to open in May—but the naturalist staff will be prepared before then for the swan migration, which usually peaks during the last week of March and the first few days of ri. The Wildlife Centre is a ‘federal building, located within the management area through an agreement with the province of British Columbia. Its nature interpretation program focuses on the Mountain Valley Natural Region and the marshes. of the ™management area. Swans usually start -to arrive at Creston, in’ south- eastern ©B.C., during © March. They stay several. days to several weeks depending on ‘weather conditions, before moving north to the Arctic where they breed. Their annaul visits to the Creston Valley have given it the name, “Valley of the Swans.” . ‘The management area was created in 1968 by co-operative efforts of the -B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch and the Cana- dian Wildlife Service from Crown land, to conserve the habitat necessary for these ~ magnificent birds and the hun- dreds of thousands of geese and ducks which migrate through this valley. The water levels in’ the marshes are managed for the benefit of these migrants -and ~ the residents which remain to next and rear their ‘young. Dykes have been built, so that biologists can now prevent the spring flooding which pre- viously swept away nests of ducks and geese. In the au- tumn, these dykes prevent the: marshes from Urying out, hold- “ing water. for thé migrants... Managed water levels also promote the growth of sub- ‘merged :marsh plants so. im- portant as waterfowl food. Improvements | ha _ been. made in waterfowl “hous- ing"—from- putting up nesting boxes for wood ducks and tubs for Canada geese, to improving . the height, and ‘density - of grassy cover'on the nesting meadows around the marshes. ‘The biologists who have been counting the young water- fowl produced on the manage- ment area have found that the improvement in cover is just as important as flood control for ground-nesting waterfowl. ~ Castlegar. Canadian Legion Gives fo Guatemala Project The Royal Canadian Le- gion, the Castlegar “Search group, St. David's Anglican Women and many generous individuals have together con- tributed another $1,000 to the Guatemala Agricultural Project (GAP). With matching. grants by the B.C. Agricultural Aid - Fund and the Canadian Inter- national Development Agency (CIDA), this means that $4,000 will actually reach John’ Hib- bitts resource centre, The rainy reason is fast approaching and the money will undoubtedly be used to build shelters for some of the thou- sands of homeless earthquake victims in the Western High- lands area of Guatemala. Itis hoped that CUSO will soon be sending a series of | slides from the project in.

The beetle has destroyed ban average of 1.3 million cubic feet of lodgepole pine per year over the past 20 years in British Columbia and poses a major problem for the Forest Service. Protection Division. Ralph Anderson, the For- est Ranger at Kettle Valley, is co-ordinating the task of con- taining this outbreak and says * “the beetle attacks mature and over-mature pine — trees by burrowing into and below the © ‘bark and inoculating the tree with a fungus called “Blue stain” + The fungus obstructs the < sap flow and kills the tree. “The beetle," the Ranger explained, “usually attacks in summer, producing its larvae which stays in the tree until the following summer when it emerges as an immature adult, Then the new beetle files to. .more pine trees to spread the destruction.” Infestation is checked by removing attacked trees and manufacturing them into fin- ished wood products and this must be done before June when the beetles start to fly.

The full House of Lords will now make the final decision and notify Queen Elizabeth. The man medically de- elared’ born. of .a .virgin,, but - whose ‘legitimacy’ was chal- lenged, is 54-year-old theatre impresario Geoffrey Russell. ‘The rival for his title was a man he had never met before the committee hearing, ‘his’ half- brother, 25-year-old accountant John Russell. Geoffrey Russell now is an important step closer to being confirmed as fourth Baron of Ampthill.
