Appa- Canadians Veterans May be Underpaid Veterans affairs minister Dan MacDonald says he has ordered a new look at 48-year- old legislation because he sus- pects Canadians receiving vet- erans allowances are under- paid, MacDonald said recently in an interview there also seems to be inequities and ad- ministrative problems which call for an overhaul of the legislation affecting 96,000 vet- erans, veterans’ widows and orphans, and some civilians who served in wartime. So the veterans affairs department has begun a review of the War Veterans Allowance Act and the Civilian War Allowance Act. An interim report is expected this fall. Following the study, the patched-up legislation may be extensively repaired or even traded in on a new model—a new act, The government gives vet- erans $230 million a year in allowances, MacDonald told the Royal Canadian Legion in Edmonton recently there may be “some rather dramatic changes to further improve our service to you, the veteran.” Deer Cause $800 Damage On Weekend Two separate accidents, both involving deer, were at-- tended by RCMP over the weekend. A 1975 Toyota, driven by Valeria La Bute of Castlegar, sustained an estimated $300 damage when it struck a deer early Saturday morning on Highway 3A noar the Castlegar Airport. Sunday morning a 1970 vehicle, driven by James John Laurient of Trail, sustained an estimated $500 damage when it struck a deer on Highway 3A near the Brilliant Dam. In both incidents the driver escaped injury but proved fatal to the deer. RCMP Veteran's Association Being Formed Former members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the East and West Koote- nays have formed an associa- tion known as the RCMP Vet- eran's Association, Kootenay S/Div. and have now been granted official status by the Vancouver division whose headquarters are in Ottawa. The principle of the asso- ciation is to promote continued fellowship among former mem- bers and to publicly support the efforts of the RCMP in its enforcement of law and order in our communities and our coun- try. Present membership of the association in the Kootenays is 25 and growing steadily. Pro- loosas, Morgans, Pintos, Quarter " Horses and Shetland ponies. New to this year’s horse show is the Cutting Horse com- petition. This exciting new event will create a lot of action in the Agrodome when cowboys manoeuvre cutting horses through herds of cattle to separate—and keep separate— one steer. The heavy horse show, a family favorite, is back. Famous for their magestic stature, decorated manes, manicured hoofs and fancy har- nesses, these horses will per- form regular six-horse driving competition in the Agrodome. Daytime horse show events will run each day in the Agrodome. PNE visitors are welcome to visit the horse stalls to watch exhibitors groom horses for show or to see the different types of breeds in- cluded in this year's competi- tion. Evening shows begin at 8 p.m. and will host a variety of events, demonstrations and competition.

Veterans allowances are tied to cost-of-living increases but MacDonald said in Ottawa recently, "I'm suspicious that it is inadequate and this Is why I want to determine for sure whether I'm right or wrong.” The payment level seems to be insufficient for a “normal way of life,” said the minister, However, he noted he was talking about allowance pay- ments and not about pensions, The government gives al- lowances to veterans or their dependants to bring . their monthly income to a certain. level, This is separate from disability pensions which are paid to disabled veterans and their widows, 1 it ig dis. 5 YEAR K-DEPOSIT * Annual interest yield al maturity based on annual interest rate of 6.448% aE p) Kootenay Savings me / Credit Union 7 convenient locations In Trail, Fruitvale, Castlegar, Salmo, South Slocan, Nakusp, and New Denver © Borscht © Pyrahi ° Vareniki Located at the Kootenay “e peeeabl Historical Site 5-6 a ARTIFICIAL RESUSCITATION, whan pro- perly administered, can save the lives of many accident victims.

The higher disability pensions will take effect Saturday. The basic rate for an un- married 100 per cent disability pensioner is to rise to $7,471 a year from $7,160. The pensions are adjusted according to the degree of disability and the number of dependants. The maximum veterans allowance for an unmarried veteran is currently $265 a month, He is allowed up to $40 a month extra from an assis- tance fund administered by the veterans affairs department. He is also allowed to earn up to $1,500 a year from casual work, But his allowance is re- duced by the disability pension he is receiving. Along with allowance pay- ments, the study group is looking at ways of simplifying administration and removing “any unfairness, MacDonald noted part of the old age security payment is exempt for veterans receiving allowances, But a veteran un-* der 65, who depends entirely on his allowance, does not have this extra benefit. MacDonald said the study group is also looking at ways to co-ordinate allowances with other government social bene- fits.

Drunk Drivers Caused 25% of Traffic Deaths One-quarter of all fatal accidents on British Columbia highways last year involved at least one person who was legally impaired, the highways ministry reported recently. Ih a report tables in the legislature, the ministry said that 547 lives were lost in 461 fatal accidents between Nov. 1, 1976, and Oct. 31, 1977. “In 239 or 52 per cent of the 461 fatal accidents, inves- tigating officers indicated that alcohol had been consumed by one or more ‘of the active participants involved,” the re- port said. “More significant is the fact that in 113 or 47 per cent of the 239 cases, at least one participant had a blood-alcohol content exceeding .08,” body who felt things too, because I remember even when I was young I felt things.

Last year two employees who had received Bill's training saved their children from cer- tain death. In one case the child fell down the basement stairs.

The father had attended Bill's lecture only two days before the accident and was able to apply everything he had been taught. The boy began breath- ing again due to the efforts of his father.

PALMER, James Norris was named new president of the Castlegar ASK ABOUT THE FOREST r CASTLEGAR NEWS, hereaey di ee 18, 1978 Are Chemical Sprays the An- swer to Insect Control? Are They Expensive? , We have our most serious problems with two kinds of insects. One type eats the leaves or needles. The other group takes in beetles which mine under the bark, girdling the tree and killing it that way. It is possible to control the leaf-eating variety somewhat by using chemical sprays— either by spraying the insects directly or by depositing chem- dcats onto’ the leaves so that they are killed when they feed. Yes, this method is ex- pensive and can also be damag- ing to the environment. There- fore, if it becomes necessary to spray over large areas of forest, every effort is made to reduce LANG Vintage Paving Company Ltd. © Parking Areas: © Driveways © Tennis Courts, etc. damaged by other insects that bore into the wood. As with spraying, this method is expensive and is not always entirely successful—it is sometimes difficult to tell ex- actly how much of the forest area is affected by the beetles and some are inevitably missed. ‘However, researchers are now studying what is called “natural control"; in other words, introducing insects or other organisms that are natur- al enemies and will eat or kill the beetles, But, research such as this Call George at ’ 352-6435 or Rob at . is expensive and takes many years. In short, effective and economical contro! of this pest has not been developed yet. 354-4303 District Teachers’ A at the annual general meeting held recently at Stanley Hum- phries Secondary School. ‘CDTA offices were com- pleted for the 1978-79 term with the election of vice-presi- dent Rob Cacchione, treasurer Doug Pilatzke, past president Dick Wayling; Agreements chairman Lach Farrell, geographical rep.

The second group—bark beetles—are extremely difficult to control. Because their life cycle is spent protected under the bark, spraying does not reach them. At present the only remedy is to log the infected area and in this manner remove the insects while they are still in the tree. Where trees have already been killed by insects, logging is carried out as soon’ as possible in order to salvage the lumber before it is further Help the Youth Centre The Castlegar Youth Committee Is asking for your help.
