Makaeff recalled how tening to further presenta- lions by Bayoff, and the answer was a unanimous and emphatic “no.” The next meeting, fea- turing discussion of the same topics, is for Nov. 4 most ly insisted upon strict adher- ence on their part to three important rules if they were to go on this mission: no ° posium held at C; Oct. 1 by John J. Verigin, hon- orary chairman of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ. One of the scheduled speakers, Verigin dwelt on the Doukhobor situation in general and on the affairs of the USCC in particular. Ver- igin, as spiritual leader of the USCC, the organization that was, and still is, under crucial unwarranted attacks, spoke of the decision of the Grand Forks section of the society to start immediate building of a community centre there to replace the one wilfully destroyed by arsonists in September, 1977. He spoke of the stress and the financial hardships encountered due to the can- cellation of 85% of the Bi or any kind of violence and complete forbearance from al! malice :to any one. Upon making a promise to abide by these rules one of the groups went across the U.S. border to preach to the Americans, by whom they were well received and later they broke the non-nudism rule and as a result were brought back to Canada by the authorities who at that time closed the border to all Doukhobors, Walter Lebedoff, outlin- ing the work program of the USCC youth, outlined also the history of its beginnings, its principles and goals. He said it was set up by the Tolstoyan Paul J. Berukoff and approved by the leader Chisti who undertook to ge on the cultural centre at Brilliant elevate the literary and en- levels of the and the of all insurance money payable until now to the community in respect of the Grand Forks centre, But Verigin said the cultural welfare of the sect’s youth is worth more to us than the monetary losses the USCC had to sustain. He said the USCC will build again from the re- sources it has at hand, “asking our Kootenay bro- thers their support.” The audience responded with a hearty applause to this state- ment, Other speakers sched- uled for the Sunday session, were N. K. Nevokshonoff of Krestova, Walter Lebedeff of Shoreacres and Michael M. Makaiff of Brilliant. Peter P. Reibin of Blewett, a member of the Association of Cana- dians of Russian Descent who recently became an active member of the research team, also contributed to the meeting with an interesting report. The highii of the youth, He encouraged at- tendance of both Canadian and Russian language schools and gave incentive in many other fields for the Doukho- bor youth to become intelli- gently aware of its own heritage and history, of its moral obligations to itself and society, to understand the politics of the world around them while remaining apoliti- cal and to try to comprehend the will of God through the teaching of Jesus the Christ. Peter Popoff, secretary of the research committee, answering to a presentation by Mike Bayoff - who wanted the committee to recognize him in his assumed role as the “Messiah” - explained how Bayoff perverted Bible texts in his attempt to prove his claim. Popoff also read other texts from the same chapter that Bayoff used, which actually warn people of the meeting were items that arose from the ethical differ- ences represented by the radical and the orthodox approaches to the basic Doukhobor ideology, also the P: of false proph and false messiahs. He asked the people present whether Social notes at the same location with the same topics as before.

The first doctor to en- dorse the ideas and tech- niques that later became known as the AA program was Dr. William D. Silk- worth, resident specialist in a private hospital for alcohol- ics. In 1939, he wrote an unsigned introduction to the ‘book ‘Alcoholics Anony- mous," prophesying that the AA approach would mark a “new epoch in the annals of alcoholism,” and saying that AA members "may well have a remedy for thousands of such situation.” In many communities, the AA program is t |: of AA often contribute speci- a vital part of a community- wide approach to the prob- lem of alcoholism.

By RYON GUEDES CASNEWS.EDITOR By MARJORIE MacBAIN Castlegar District United Way Secretary-Treasurer A new approach to ac- quiring tho Castlegar Dis- trict United Way fund was tried this year with a house- to-house “Blitz,” on Oct. 14; Complete results of this effort are not yet known, as all canvassers have not turn- ed in‘their kits as yet, and calls back to people who were not home on that Sunday are to be made. A Additional study of radon gas levels in the basements of Castlegar homes is included in plans for further radiation monitoring in the area, according to the head of the B.C. health ministry's radiation protection service. Dr. Wayne Greene — who reported to the provincial government- appointed commission on uranium mining last month that local concen- trations of the gas, given off by decaying uranium in the soil, were { more than three times those found in Burnaby — told the Castlegar oe News the planned tests are part of ‘his agency's ongoing program for the area. G “Bach time we. measure something we're also examin- ing our overall monitoring program so we keep doing more and more,” he said. “We're in an expansion sit- uation in terms of our pro- gram, and as more explor- ation has gone on we've become more and more aware of regions which have uranium in the vicinity.” The radiation protection service program for the area has been mostly concerned, Greene said, with the effect of future and current uran- ium exploration — including the drilling in Genelle in 1978 — and future mining on drinking water systems. “As far as we can tell exploration has had no effect on drinking water in terms of radioactivity,” he said. In a joint effort with the West Kootenay health unit, he said, the provincial agency has taken measurements of radioactivity in Columbia River Valley water systems as well as conducting stu which began about 18 m ago, decay products in the base- ments of homes’ between Castlegar and Trail. The first basement sur- vey “was a fairly extensivs study,” Greene said. ‘ “From that there were several homes we went and looked at again in January,” he said. “And this past summer we went and looked not at the homes especially but at the concentrations of radon in the soil. What we were trying to do was deter- mine the origin of the gas we'd measured.” “There's going to be still some further follow-up on it,” the radiation protections ser- vices head said. “We'll make another sweep through again * later in-some different sea- son.” The additional study is necessary, he said, because the density of radon gas can fluctuate hourly and vary considerably from season to season. Even -such factors as - rainfall-make the variations “so complicated it’s hard to tell which factors are the most important,” he said. Greene explained that the surveys have concen- Asked about the local radiation levels cited in com- parison to those in Burnaby basements, Greene pointed ,out the lower mainland mu- nicipality's level “happens to ‘below in terms of the Can- adian’ average.” “The gamma radiation levels in Castlegar are higher than in the lower mainland and maybe higher than in Prince George or some other communities, but it's not unusually high, he said. “For example, Calgary is slightly higher. than Castle- gar, so.it’s not an unusual situation.” ~ Proper ventilation of basements “almost always eliminates the problem,” Greene said. te “In a few.of the’ places ‘it was even simpler than that,” he. said. “They had drains “ which were in the floors and those drains were attached to a drain field in the yard, and if they were trapped drains all you had: to’ do was put 3s” Water in thétrap-to keep it of radon and radon filled.” “That eliminated the possibility of the radon com- ing through that drainage system into the basement," he continued. “One of the . areas we identified as being potential regions for en- trance or pathways was crawl spaces which didn’t have skin coats. They were just bare ground and it was quite easy for the stuff to come through there.” Asked whether the low- level radiation from uranium exploration, combined with existing .“background” soil radiation would pose a ser- ious hazard, he said making such a statement categori- cally “is not appropriate,” and it would be necessary to “look at each case indivi- dually where exploration is ‘ going on relative to water supplies.” “One of the things you wdo find is that there are different levels of explor- ation,” Greene said. simplest level may be just the collection of water sam- ples -and soil samples, and then the next stage may involve some test. drilling or d trated on | radon | concentrations are more noticeable in areas which are not usually not well ventilated. Radon values in such basements tend to be 10 to 20 times the concen- trations in more frequently- used sections of the house, he said. simple hi hing where they just remove some of the topsoil and get some soil samples which are just below the surface. The interactions of that sort of thing with the environment are essentially minimal. “Then you get on to ad- vanced exploration where they start drilling lots of holes and they set up a Inatrix, they fe the ore bed or the loft deposit to determine the extent of the mineralization, and that obviously has a lot more effects." “The.
