THIS WEEK by Stella Wilder ee ste It would behoove every Individual to take stock of his present financial condi- tion this week -- and to con- sider ways and means of improving the economics of his daily life. The situation on the home iront is primary when change is Bropased early in the week. Employ- ment opportunities must be secondary; otherwise, one is apt to find by week's end that he has paid too dear a price for variety. Returns on investments of time, effort, and money are likely to be more satisfying than usual. However, debts may, suddenly be called in, making it possible for one to end the week with less in the way of material profit, even though, on the face of it, more was earned. Patience is essential for emotional balance during a difficult week; without it, personal relationships may suffer greatly. LIBRA:(Sept. 23-Oct. 7) - This could be one of your best weeks of the year -- if you are willing to take some things on faith. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- Relaxation is the key to success this week. If you insist on .working at full capacity, production will fall off. SCORPIO:(Oct. 23-Nov. 7) - If you can manage inde- pendent action early in the week -- in spite of pressures to do otherwise -- all is well. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- Seek the material gain that can result from work on a lucrative hobby. Don’t allow another's laughter to bother you. SAGITTARIUS:(Nov. 22- Dec. 7) - An extraordinary week if you can enjoy a combination of funny and refined activities. Be adapt- able. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) - A week inspired toward the beginning and _ inclined toward dullness at week’s end. Try to keep a happy medium going. CAPRICORN:(Dec. 22- dan. 6) — You would do well to keep from.all gambling, whether direct or indirect. Keep profits from straying. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- A promise create more domestic problems than it cures. Per- sonal ‘relationships suffer from confusion this week. AQUARIUS:(Jan. 20-Feb. 3) - Speculate if you must -- but not in terms of dealings with others. Keep the public out of your affairs. (Feb. 4- Feb. 18) -- Take care not to dream away a week with a great deal to offer in terms of reality. Work with a will toward new aims. PISCES:(Feb. 19-March 5) ~ Ulterior motives may be uppermost in another's mind as you work to gain his support for a new endeavor. (March 6-March 20) -- Your search for recognition may lead you far afield this week. Take care not to seek “difference” for its own e. ARIES:(March 21-April 4) ~ What you have to offer others is of more value than you think. Don't sell yoursell short on the employment market. (April 5-April 19) -- Quality reigns supreme over quantit; . Fail to unuerstand this and you fail to progress this week. TAURUS:(April 20-May 5, ~ A restless beginning leads to an impulsive end. Make every effort to bring order to a week of confusion. (May 6-May 20) -- Avoid anything that others could interpret as self-pity. Keep your emo- tions in check at all times this week. GEMINI:(May 21-June 6) - You can turn circum- stances to your favor if you are careful not to accept the limitations others put on them. (June 7-June 20) -- Pay no heed to those who would see you back away from responsibility. Play the game for all you're worth this week. CANCER:(June 21-July 7) — You can mold your des- tiny tu your desires -- if you will take advantage of this week's opporunity to lead. (July 8-July 22) -- A person of some influence has a great deal to say about your success -- or lack of it -- now. Keep best foot forward! LEO:(July 23-Aug. 7) - A question of honor may bring an unhappy note into domes- tie tranquility. Companions serve you well at week's end. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- Flat- tery disrupts your mental set this week. You would do well to pay no attention to another's great attention. VIRGO:(Aug. 23-Sept. 7) - Problems along cash-flow lines may cause irritation on the home front. Loved ones may argue unnecessarily. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- The upset caused by minor matters is quite unbelievable this week. Stop; take stock; con- trol emotions.

Ald, Heather Hallett, chairman of council's health and welfare committee, was joined by: Ald, Jim Gouk and Ald. Gerald Rust in her own s that the crematorium referendum be placed before electors during this year's municipal elections. ‘ Speaking against. the motion, Hallett told council the crematorium would be available to users “from Cranbrook to Kamloops” and Castlegar taxpayers would not get their money's worth. “The city would have to borrow a minimum of $100,000, and operating costs. would be around $15,000 a year, with no government grants available,” said. pices Citizens of Castlegar who wanted to use the faci- lities would have to pay $142 in addition to the tax increase while someone from Kam- loops would pay only the $142, she added. . Ald, Rust said he also was opposed to the refer- endum, adding that the ques- tion was dealt with years ago Hallett Pete Oglow, Jean nzie, Bill Marozoff, Bill Oglow, Christine dustries.

Effective immediately, the central bank's pace-set- ting rate goes up by three- quarters of one per cent from the 12.25-per-cent level an- nounced Sept. 10. The increase usually means that increases in mort- gage rates and consumer loans can be expected to follow but it also benefits savers because interest rates on savings accounts also rise. The new Bank of Canada rate will likely push mort- ages toward a high of 14 per cent from the current 12.5 to 18.5 per cent, while consumer loan rates could go to 15 or 16 per cent. On the, other hand, savings certificates or term deposits could pay as high as - 12 per cent interest while ordinary savings. account rates could go to 10.75 or 11 per cent. Today's central, bank in- erease is the second.in less than a month and -the‘third since the Conservatives came | to power in May.

The decision was in response to a letter — received by council Sept. 28 and written by Brian Foley, executive director of PEBC — which expressed concern by the organization's board of directors “over public sector employers who have not yet Hl - decided to become members of our organization and have. not agreed to commit theth- selves to its funding for 1980.” The organization, which lists $6 public sector employ- ‘ ers as current members, ex- pressed the need for the municipality of Castlegar to consider the membership for the city's benefit and to aid with organization funding. “We believe that it is now appropriate for this consideration on your part not only because of our need for funding for 1980, but also in view of a recent decision of More en page AZ Six dismissals result of low enrolments The decision to dismiss six instructors at Selkirk College as of 1980 is the result of low enrolment fig- ures, according to dean of studies Walter Uegama. Last month, Uegama re- vealed that 11 university transfer courses were drop- ped because of low enrolment. figures, and that a further examination of courses this year might result in further reductions. The instructors were in- formed in June that their tenure would expire at the end of this school year, Uegama said. Findings of a study done of the low enrol- ment courses for the current term will not result in further dismissals, he added. “Many of this years’ low enrolment courses are in the same area (university trans- fer), so it is unlikely there will be any further reduction in staff,” he said.
