But Expo was such a hit, Michael said, tourists stayed at the fair for six days and did not visit other areas of the province. The Coquihalla cuts an hour off the five-hour trip via the Trans-Canada Highway between Vancouver and Kamloops and gives drivers a third route into the B.C. In- terior.

GRAND FORKS CITY staff will be preparing a report on the bylaws other communities have imple- mented to deal with Pit Bull terriers. About 30 residents from Sunshine Village near \Grand Forks attended a council meeting to ask for regulations and another group presented a petition with more than 70 names on it making the same requests. Apparently, a new family in town owns two of the dogs and keeps them on leashes in an unfenced back yard. The councilmen will examine bylaws from Vanouver, Trail, Kelowna and the RDKB. TWO OF THE boosters for Castlegar (and the West Kootenay area) have to be Irene and Glen Bryson of Iggie’s Restaurant. Anyone who has heard them sing the praises of this region know their words come from deep-held convictions, and a real love for the beauties of this part of the world. Those Jehovah Witnesses who attended the assembly here this past weekend, and who patronized Iggies, were loud in their praise of the Brysons’ family service and enthusiasm. Certainly if the provincial government ever decides to privatize the tourism information aspect of its iviti Glen and Irene should submit a proposal over as Church. of the C | Free CosNewsPhoto locally! Claims low in Kootenays By CasNews Staff Despite an overall increase in the number of Insurance Corporation of B.C. claims for the first six months of 1987, the Kootenay region was only one of two areas to experience a decline in the number of claims. The Kootenay's saw a five per cent reduction in claims while the northern BC. re- gion experienced an eight per cent reduction. All other re- gions in B.C. saw an increase in the number of ICBC claims. Tom Holmes, ICBC presi: dent, warned that because of an overall 10 per cent in- crease in claims, Autoplan insurance premiums will probably be increased next year. “The surge in claims and their costs means that B.C. motorists are going to pay more for their insurance in 1988 unless we see a re- versal,” Holmes said in a prepared release. The upward trend began in 1986, which recorded the most claims for any year during the insGrance corpor- ation’s 14 year history. During the first six months of 1987, ICBC received 282,000 claims, an increase of 25,000 over the same period in 1986. Injuries, the most expen- sive type of claim, are up by 17 per cent provincially with 16,000 reported. The average cost of claims is also up by six per cent. Holmes noted that this figure is traditionally slightly higher than the cost of living index which rose by 4.5 per The Lower Mainland re cent for the 12 months ending gion experienced an 11 per June 30. cent increase in claims, the The Greater Vancouver Vancouver Island area saw a area, which accounts for al- seven per cent hike in the most half of all claims made umber of claims, the Okan in B.C., recorded 27 per cent agan experienced a 12 per more bodily injury claims, cent increase while the Cari the biggest increase in the poo region saw its claims rise province . by five per cent. ‘Nelson jazz band to play in park Four jazz-blues players they regularly play at Jus Both In One New Location 1507 Columbia Ave., (formerly Bumper to Bumper) Lf Open Mon.-Sat. 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m. and 4 p.m.-8 p.m. Sun. & Holidays 7:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. and 6:30-8 p.m. GRE VHOUND The PoP Bus Terminal AND fi iS?

If it survives, there's a 90 per cent chance the baby will be raised in a developing country, quite possibly in poverty. The baby will be one of about 150,000 born around the world every day. Despite its statistical significance, as the five-billionth, the infant alone is in some ways insignificant. Ivan Head, president of the International Developmeht h Centre, was ata ium last week on the world’s population and its impact on the planet's future. Using statistical averaging formulas, the United Nations the world’s ion would pr ly hit five billion on Saturday, July 11. The five-billion mark is more a cause of concern than a reason for celebration. Some countries are finding it increasingly difficult, and in some cases impossible, to support their populations, Head says. NEEDS RESOURCES Conservative MP Bill Winegard, chairman of the Commons committee on external affairs, told the symposium a new world order is needed to redistribute resources. There's a it between i nations, which enjoy the wealth, and developing nations, which provide the resources, he says. Maurice Strong, the Canadian member of the UN world it issi told the sy i that the countries of the world have become inter-dependent in a way that works for powerful, developed countries and disad- vantages the Third World. The burgeoning international debt of developing countries i the apparent anti to Third World problems, Mexican economist Victor Urquidi told the symposium. Third World debt has been at the edge of a crisis for at least six years, yet the developed world has done little to recognize the problem, he says. While countries in the developed world help one another, Urquidi say there've been few offers to reschedule Third World debt. HELP THEMSELVES When Third World countries try to help themselves, by expanding their industrial base into new areas like steel PI ion, Urquidi says ped countries respond with protectionist trade restrictions that limit market access. Head adds that redistributing global resources and wealth is not a matter of only helping the Third World. In the long run, he says, developed countires will gain from achieving a better balance. They lose if the imbalance continues. The increasing economic problems of South America have already cost 200,000 jobs in the United States, Head says. One of the major threats posed by the situation is the increasing rate at which the world is depleting its resources, Strong says. He believes the world can work towards full international co-operation. “How can you expect people to co-operate in protecting this planet,” he asked the sumposium.., “if they're living in the slums of this planet? “We have no option!” *2.99 Coffee Regular or Filter Grind 369 G.

In releasing its 1986 Cen- sus of Population, the federal agency said there has been a 38-per-cent increase in com- mon-law marriages since 1981. The agency said four out of five families are of the tradi- tional husband-wife variety, but 13 per cent of Canada’s families are single-parent. While 70 per cent of Can- adian families have children at home, the growth of fam- ilies without children has outpaced the growth of fam- ilies in general, it added. Statistics Canada said the population aged 65 and over has grown to 2.7 million people in 1986 from 1.4 mill- ion in 1961. The numbers of those 75 years and over increased at an even higher rate. In 1986 there were just more than one million Canadians aged 75 and over. More than half the Cana- dian population is 30 and over. Monique Vezina, minister responsible for Statistics Canada, told a news con- ference the shift in age pat- terns will have major policy implications in everything from health care to transpor- tation and housing.
