CELEBRITIES IN CANDID: There’s a nervous breakdown
in store for Jaclyn Smith, who's never seen a
psychiatrist in her life. How can one of TV's more secure,
well-adjusted stars fall to pieces? The answer is that the
nervous breakdown is written into a new TV-movie role
she is considering for next year. The film is all about the
life of Gene Tierney, one of Hollywood's top movie

ueens in the 1940's. Best remembered for her role in
the movie ‘Laura,’ Gene was courted by John F.

$25,000 grant
to evaluate

animal traps.

A grant of $25,000 has
been given to the Federal-
Provincial Committee for hu-
mane trapping.

The announcement was
made recently by Rafe Mair,
minister of environment.

The grant, which will be
used to evaluate promising
new trapping devices, is
taken from the $100,000
humane trapping fund es-
tablished earlier this year
with monies from the pro-
vinelal lottery. 5

with the appointment last
week of six district managers
in the Nelson Forest Region.

The new district man-
agers are: Jack Bailey —
Invermere (area tentatively
includes Invermere and Can-
al Flat Ranger Districts);
Don Gill — Golden (area
tentatively includes Golden
Ranger District); Ross Tozer
— Cranbrook {area tenta-
tively includes both Cran-
brook Ranger Districts, and
Fernie and Elko).

John Sedlack — Kooten-
ay Lake (area tentatively
includes Nelson, Kaslo, Lar-
deau, and Creston Ranger
Districts); Bill Brash — Boun-
dary (includes Grand Forks,
Kettle Valley and Beaverdell
Ranger District); and Glen
Allin — Arrow (area ten-

tatively includes Castlegar,
Salmo, Nakusp, Fauquier and
New Denver Ranger Dis-
tricts),

In making the announce-
ment Maurie Isenor, regional
manager, Nelson Forest Re-.
gion, explains the new man-
agers will begin assessing
their needs in staff and facili-
ties for their districts as soon
as they are able to transfer
from their present duties.

“Actual locations of dis-
trict headquarter offices
have not yet been finalized,”
adds Isenor. “Meanwhile, it's
business as usual at our
ranger stations. Eventually,
some of these stations will
become district offices, oth-
ers will be field offices.”

Isenor says the district
managers’ offices will be the
“store-front offices” of the
ministry from which on-the-
ground decisions can be made

_ elose to the resource.

The appointment of
these managers is in keeping
with the decentralizing of the
ministry of forests to meet
the terms of B.C.'s new forest
and range legislation.

Ltd, has the pro-
vincial government to re-
move the four per cent sales
tax from energy saving
woodburning stoves,

The request urges Fi-
nance Minister Evan Wolfe
to follow the example of
Ottawa and Ontario and rec-
ognize the necessity to en-
courage consumers to seek
alternative energy sources,
says general manager Tony
Romano.

Premier Bill Bennett and
the ministers involved in the
matter have indicated they
are prepared to discuss the
request.

In 1977 the provincial
government of Ontario drop-
ped its seven per cent sales
tax on Fisher woodburning
units. A similar move was
recently adopted by Ottawa
with the ellimination of the
remaining five per cent fed-
eral levy. Both governments
have said they recognize the

ing while excersising con-
servation.

Okanagan Fisher Stoves
Ltd. encourages the B.C.
government to incorporate a
similar policy in our province.

as excessive levels of salt and

dividual and assist-
ance from several trade
unions in the area.

The Nelson group was
given an outline by Ms.
Pedersen on how WARP got
started, the year that food
prices increased a whopping
21 per cent while AIB price
controls were on. This year
the increase has been kept
down to 11 per cent in the
first nine months of the year.
Ms, Pedersen felt the WARP
boycotts were making an
impact. i

The method of fighting
unreasonable prices WARP
proposes is for enough con-
sumers to boycott. specific
items for long enough periods
of time for this to play havoc

tissues — price increase of 20
per cent recently;

Hamburger over $1.50

spring levels. Beef relief was
shortlived; lemons — 49
cents each — another un-
believable weather story.
Leave them on the shelf for
two weeks, :

Besides watching price
increases, WARP also en-
courages shoppers to watch
for unethical practices in
supermarkets and encour-
ages women to complain to
the managers when this
happens. Too often a sale
price sign is placed far from
the item on sale, and careless
will pick up the

forced to deal with the unsold
stock. Inventories are plan-
ned to be'constantly moving;
when an item doesn't move, a
backlog develops and the

sider the price.

several glowing columns on
