Regular Pap Test

Can Save

Cancer of the cervix is one
of the few cancers that is easily
detected and cured in its early
stages.

That detection is done by
means of a painless procedure
known as the pap test. To
inform women of the impor-
tance of this test, the federal
department of health and wel-
fare this month is inserting a
pamphlet with the mailing of
family allowance cheques that
asks: Have you had a pap test
recently? .

Your Life

299

The leaflet says some 600
women die of cancer of the
cervix in Canada every year
and in almost all cases they
have never had a pap test.

Copies of the pamphlet for
groups or individuals may be’
obtained from the Information
Directorate, Department of Na-
tional Health and Welfare,
Ottawa, Ont., K1A OK9.

Below Normal Sun
Adds to Dull. Month

March was rather a dull
month, according to the clima-
tological summary compiled at
the Castlegar airport. ‘5

The Kootenay region sat
under a ridge of high pressure
which was not, however, strong
enough to prevent surges of
moisture-laden Pacific air to
move across the area at regular
intervals, ta

Fortunately, the tempera-
tures remained above normal to
allow most of the precipitation
to fall as rain. The winter snow
disappeared rapidly through
the first part of the month,
leaving only a trace by the
middle of the month.

No significant records
were broken during the month.
A mean wind speed of 5.6 kph

Is Mom or

tied the record low previously
set in 1968 and was well below
the normal of 7.9 kph. The
mean temperature was 3.6°c,
slightly, above the average of
0°.
The monthly rainfall ‘of
56.5 mm was above the average
of 37.5 mm but, due to a low
snowfall of 2.4 cm, the total
precipitation was very near
normal. - :
A total 103.3 hours of
sunshine was recorded, which
is well below normal for March.
The number of days that’ fog
was reported totaled 19, while
visibilities of less than five-
eights of a mile due to fog were
reported on seven days,
One thunderstorm of rath-
er heavy intensity was ob-
served on the 30th.

Dad

etter Single Parent?

Just before and during a
divorce proceeding, “people
talk and act about as crazily as
they ever do,” psychologist Dr.
Virginia Anne Church warned a
lawyer's panel.

“Some will talk wildly but
actually behave pretty well—
and. be denied custody of the
children,” she said. “Others will
talk calmly although they. act
wildly and still get custody.”

“You can't know which
parent's -home will stabilize
first," she told an American Bar
Association meeting in Chicago
on what's best for the children
in divorce. e

Church, a Florida psycho-
logist, and Mr: Joseph Satten, a
Menninger Foundation psy-

Dr. Richard’ Gardner, A
Columbia University child psy-
chiatrist, said awards of child-
ren to the father have been
increasing “probably one per

‘cent per year for the past five

years.”

He favored giving infants
to the mother, because of ties
resulting from pregnancy and
nursing, but Church disagreed,

She advocates awarding
custody on a temporary basis,
to provide time to see how well
the child's needs are being met
and the ‘degree of sharing with
the other parent.

One test, she’ said, is
“which one is going to get the
most tired of the non-fun
situation” of bringing up a child
alone.

Tax Talk

UNTAADUCLTAQAUUCUAGLBOUDUCUUNAUDEOUDOUAUUUOULEOUOUUUAUUGHLTOHNT

If you're a student, you
may or may not have to file a
tax return.

The only problem is, you
have to complete a tax return
to figure out whether you have
any taxable income.

If you owe-taxes on your
summer earnings, you have to
file a return, In addition, if you

_. have a refund coming, the only

way you will get back tax that
was withheld by an employer is
by filing a return, —

If you've never filed a
return, but have some taxable
income this year, you're en:
titled to take advantage of
general averaging.

Say you have $10,000 tax-
able income this. year and
you've never submitted a tax
return before. You can, through
general averaging, move some
of this income back into the
previous four years and’ thus
reduce the tax impact,

Again, if this is your first
return, you have to do the
calculations yourself on Form
T2077. Copies are available at
the local tax office and the
government will correct any
errors you make.

In subsequent years, the
government will automatically
calculate general averaging for
you.

If you were enrolled during
the year at a Canadian univer-
sity, college or other education-
al institute providing courses at
@ post-secondary school level,
orata high school or secondary
school providing courses lead-
ing to a secondary school
certificate or diploma that is a
requirement for entrance to a
college or university, then you
qualify as a student and may
deduct any tuition fees paid if
they exceed $25.

Only you may claim the
tuition fees as a deduction. Fees
paid by yourself for student
activities do not qualify for the
deduction, Amounts paid for
books also generally do not
qualify for deduction.

Japan's Bicycle Campaign

You may -also claim an
education deduction of $60 per
month for every month during.
the year that you were in
full-time attendance for a post-
secondary course or courses at
a designated educational insti-
tute.

Designated educational in-
stitute includes universities,
colleges and other institutions
offering job retraining or adult
educational courses in Canada.

If you are eligible for the
education deduction, but do not
require some or all of it to
eliminate your taxable income,
then a parent or other person
who supported you during the
year may claim the amount of
the deduction which you don't
required.

If you were a student in
full-time attendance at a uni-
versity or other post-secondary
educational institute in Canada
during the year and moved to
take a job (including summer

employment) or to start a busi- .

ness then you may claim
moving expenses.

If you moved to attend full.
time courses at a university or
other post-secondary educa-
tional institute in Canada, you
may deduct moving expenses
but only against award income
such as scholarships, fellow-
ships, research grants and
similar awards, and only to the

extent that such income is.

reported on your return,

You mustincludeinincome . .

all amounts received during the
year from scholarships, fellow-
ships, businesses or prizes for
achievement in a field of
endeavor where the total ex-
ceeds $500.

If you feel you have a
particularly difficult problem or
are in doubt about a possible
deduction or item which should
maybe be included in income,
then you should discuss the
matter with a representative
from the local tax office or
alternatively seek professional
advice.

New Solution Results.
in More Headaches

Japan is learning—the
hard way—one of the burdens
of being a modern, affluent
urban nation: For every solu-
tion,there is a new problem,

Five years ago the govern-
ment and society in general
became so concerned with the
problems of urban smog, auto-
mobile fumes, traffic congestion
and the energy crisis that, with
the cabinet’s endorsement, a
movement was launched to use
bicycles as a way of solving all
of them.

The campaign really suc-
ceeded, so much so, that the
solution has become the latest
problem. Every day millions of
men, women and children pedal
off to work, to school or on their
errands. -

But when they arrive,
having consumed no fossil fuel

and emitted no fumes, they
have no place to put the bikes,
so they leave them anywhere—
in the streets, by the tracks at
stations, along fences, in front
of doors, all over the sidewalks
and crosswalks and on top of
one another.

“It is hopeless,” said Sgt.
Yasushi Tanzawa of the police,’
surveying the sea of handlebars
stretching before him,

Two entire sidewalks were
clogged with spokes and kick-
stands that grab at passing
ankles, A rope, erected to help
pedestrians claim a part of the
pathway, supported half a
dozen cycles. The bushes were
filled with bicycles, even tri-
cycles.

A “No bicycle parking”
sign was surrounded by parked
bikes chained to it.

Ministry Subsidizes
Medicare Premiums

The provincial health
ministry will spend an addition-
al $5 million this year to sub-
sidize medicare premiums for
thousands of low-income citi-
zens of British Columbia.

The announcement by
Health Minister Bob McClel-
land is the result of a new
income ceiling for subsidized

. The minister explained
that the upward shift in the
taxable income ceiling for sub-
sidized medicare premiums,
parallels revisions in personal
income tax relief that have
been accepted by the provincial
and federal governments.

The new subsidy program
will become operational with
begi of Medical Ser-

in the recent Speech from the
Throne.

The provincial government
will now pay 90 per cent of the
premium of families where
neither husband nor wife had a
taxable income up to $1,680
during 1977. Previously, a 90
per cent subsidy was available
only to those who had no
taxable income, and a 50 per
cent subsidy was provided to

persons whose taxable income -

did not exceed $1,000.
The new ceiling will auto-

matically provide 90 per ‘cent’ »

subsidies to the group who
previously received 50 per cent.
In addition, there will be a
group, currently of unknown
size, whose taxable incomes
during 1977 were more than
$1,000 but less than $1,680 who
similarly will be eligible for 90
per cent subsidies.

“Based on the number of
families involved, we are esti-
mating it will require an
additional $5.3 million a year
from the consolidated revenue
fund,” said McClelland.

At the present time, about
25 per cent of the 2.5 million

vices Plan's new premium year
on July 1. The necessary appli-
cation forms are now being
mailed by Medical Services
Plan in Victoria.

Full premiums for one
person are $7.50 a month, $15
for two persons, and $18.75 for
a family for three or more.
Under the new program, a
single person with a 1977
taxable income of less than
$1,680, will pay only 75 cents.

The broader subsidization
program mentioned in the
Throne’Speech, is part of the
government's policy to make
access into the health system
easier for persons with minimal
finance resources, said McClel-
land.

“Another example of this
policy is the Long-term Care
program, where we have estab-
lished a single, universal user
charge, that still leaves a
person with spending money,
even if they have no income
other than the usual old age
pensions and its allowances,”
explained the health minister.

“The fact that there are a
substantial number of citizens
with low or minimal incomes, is

enrolled medi

in B.C. have their premiums
subsidized by the ministry of
health,

being ized by the health
ministry in a much more
tangible way today than it ever
has been in the past.”

worked on the “Rosebery” on
Slocan Lake and in the local
mines until his retirement.

Among the 120 supper
guests were 19 of their 21
grandchildren and ‘three of
their five great grandchildren.
Other specia! guests were their

families, Their son David, of
Brantford, Ont., was not able to
attend. Also attending was Mr.
Gordon's sister, Mrs. Martha
Young of Ottawa, Ont.

. Their grandson, Robert
Gordon, presented the couple
with matching wedding bands
from the family and Greg and
Brian Brons sang “Sunset of
Our Life.”

Muriel Paquette of Slocan
was mistress of ceremonies,

The evening concluded
with dancing to the music of the
“General Store.”

The celebration was plan-
ned and co-ordinated by their
daughter, Mrs. Eva Soukeroff
of Slocan.

Oriains Discussed

An impressive array of
speakers and a varied list of
discussion topics held the at-
tention of a large audience at
the 32nd session of the Joint
Doukhobor Research Sympo-
sium at the Regional Recrea-
tion Complex last Sunday,

As-usual, members of all
factions of the community were
present to speak, ask questions,
listen and criticize. But the five-
hour meeting, chaired by Wil-
liam W. Chernoff and Walter D.
Lebedeff, proceeded smoothly.

Topics discussed included
the manner by which the Decla-
ration of the “Named Douk-
hobors" was formulated in 1934
as well as the meaning of its
content. The name “Union of
Spiritual Communities of
Christ” and plans of the organi-
zation, as well as reasons why
certain people prefer not to be
members, was also discussed.

Eli A. Popoff, historian,
author and lecturer, spoke of
the role of leaders of the group
as compared to that of Jesus
Christ the “sole saviour and
hope”.

He also spoke of the gifts of
prophecy with which the lead-
ers of its past were blessed, and
how their prophecies were ful-
filled in due course. He dis-
cussed predictions made from

Parking Lot
Crash Causes
$350 Damage

A parking lot accident
Thursday has resulted in an
estimated $350 damage and a
Rossland woman being charged
with driving without reason-
able consideration for others.

Charged is Rhoberta Turn-
er whose 1975 Honda wes
travelling west in the Castle-
aird Plaza when it struck a 1971
Toyota driven by Paulette
Udell of Vernon. The Udell
vehicle was stopped and about
to make a left hand turn when
the incident occurred.

No injuries were reported.

1919 to 1920 by Peter P,
Chistiakoff, in Russia, which
were proven entirely accurate
within 20 years,

Popoff discussed how the
ancestors of the Doukhobors
had proven that they were not
“slaves of corruption", when
they chose to leave their
homes, situated. in the most
desirable area of Russia, and be
exiled to the inhospitable moun-
tains of the Caucausus, rather
than submit to laws conflicting
with their conscience. Eli's
description of the role played
by Peter P. Chistiakoff fas-
cinated the audience.

John J. Verigin, Union of
Spiritual Communities of Christ
honorary chairman, contri-
buted substantially to the meet-
ing. He spoke of the attempts of

. the USCC to convince the B.C.

government to establish a
special committee on Douk-
hobor affairs, composed of
equal numbers of members
representing the government,
the Doukhobors, and the non-
Doukhobor neighboring people.

He claimed there was sub-
stantial backing for this idea,
and that some prominent peo-
ple of Grand Forks were willing-
to join a delegation to Victoria
to discuss the matter with offi-
cials there.

Replying to questions
posed by P. J. Popoff, Verigin
said the names “Named Douk-
hobors" and the “Christian
Community of Universal Broth-
erhood” were dropped because
they were sullied by certain
people carrying those names
and committing unprincipled
acts.

He explained that the
change of name was compar-
able to a change of. ones
clothing, but had meaning only
if one had sincere intentions of
growing inwardly, furthering
his progress toward moral and
spiritual perfection. Change of
name must be accompanied by
a commitment, Verigin said.

Michael M. Chernoff again
attempted to convince the

meeting that the problem of

terrorism can be solved, if
“those who formerly par
pated in such acts would con-
fess, with suggestions how to
convince others to do likewise.

But he was challenged by
committee. members recalling
the hundreds of such confes-
sions made by the Freedomites
to the Sullivan Commission and
the courts in the late 1940s.

It was explained that the
aim of the symposium was not
to identify personalities for
judging them, but to establish
the true principles of the Douk-
hobor faith and creating a new
awareness free of ignorance,
hypocrisy, fanaticism and su-
perstitions.
