No Limit to Cross-Country

Skiing a Natural in the Rolling Cariboo Country

Skis and the Cariboo coun-
try of British Columbia may not
have gone together in the past.
Skilng has always seemed to
mean chair lifts, sophisticated
ski resorts and large numbers
of runs down high mountains,

The Cariboo is a gentle,
rolling country where ski facill-
ties ‘hove never been devel-
oped,

But ‘now it's different.
Cross-country skiing is growing
so fast in British Columbia that
ski shop operators have diffi-
culty keeping up with the
demand for equipment, And the
wide-open spaces and rolling
hills of the Cariboo are ideal for
this type of skiing.

A dozen ranches and re-
sorts in the Cariboo have

opened thelr doors to accom-

modate the ski tourers. Most of
them operate as guest ranches
or fishing camps in the sum-
mer; now, with their accom-
modation winterized, they stay
open year-round,

Their facilities range from
the simple room-with-meals of
family ranches from 70 Mile
House to Quesnel, to the
restaurant, motel and air strip
of the largest of the Cariboo
dude ranches.

on Fri-
day, November 12 so that they
could supervise the excursion
which they organized.

In some places, trails have
been cut for the cross-country
skier with tho help of a
mechanical trail cutter that
moves easily through the snow
and gives the skier an easy path
to follow,

Near 100 Mile House, 40
miles of trails — ranging: in
difficulty from beginner to
experienced — are laid out in a
wide area around a major guest
ranch,

For those who want to
escape from planned routes, the
Cariboo offers so much wide-
open terrain that it’s difficult to
know where to begin, Frozen
lakes, snow-covered plateaus,
gently rolling hills — all of it
country where the cross-
country skier can find isolation
if he wants it,

Snow conditions and wea-
ther also make the Cariboo an
ideal place to go ski touring.
Temperatures are usually in
the -30° to -10° C range, and
the snow has a good powder
base. The weather is dry and
sunny for much of the winter in
the Cariboo.

The Cariboo offers other
entertainment for winter vis-
itors. Ice-fishing takes place on
many of the lakes,

Mr. Sherwood, “is the growth

“Since 1972 an additional

Your Partiament

Shopping

By Bob Brisco, M.P.

Recently I had the op-
portunily to discuss for a fow
minutes with the Retail Mer-
chants section of the Trail
Chamber of Commerce their
concerns over the increasing
number of citizens from Trail,
Castlegar and district who
travel to Colville or Spokane,
Washington or other nearby
U.S. communities, in order to
purchase groceries, furniture
and, indeed, a wide range of
household goods.

Local merchants through:
out Kootenay West are dis-
turbed over the loss of
business, but perhaps more
frustrating is their inability to
compete ¥ with U.S. prices. What
the

families of skiers can enjoy
themselves,

(This Travel British Col
umbla story. is one of a series

bia Department of Travel In-

Stateside

Canada border have so actively
sought the Canadian dollar.
This is evident by the ad-

. vertising campaigns of one type

or another, launched in the
United States and advertised in
Canadian newspapers.

Traffic line-ups at border
crossings have never, in my re-
collection, been as great as they
are today. Is this the fault of
the consumer? Are they to be
blamed for wishing to pay con-
siderably less for items pur-
chased in the United States?
Who indeed can blame them? I
believe that the vast majority
of Canadian consumers who
shop in the United States do so

is not a problem of their own
creation, .and what prompts
consumers to make purchases
in the United States is not of
local origin.

What we are witnessing at
Patterson and Nelway is only a
small facet of a national pro-
blem, from sea to sea, parti-
cularly in border communities
in Canada. I cannot recall-any
time in the past when American
merchants along the U,S.-

Betting Habit
Foiled the
Perfect Fraud

In his book Crime By
Computer, Donn Parker tells
how Manhattan bank employee
Roswell Steffen stole $1.5 mil-
lion. The bank's computer
rounded off interest on savings
accounts to the nearest penny.

Steffen simply instructed
the machine to deposit’ the
leftover fractions of cents into
his own account. He was caught
when detectives invesligating a
racetrack bookie foiind Steffen
betting up to $30,000 a day.

An Army computer pro-
gramer invented a miltary unit
of 200 men, then cashed their-
paycheques.

Finally, i trik:

the same pt at or near
the same price, in Canada,

My fear is that this
national problem has not yet
been recognized by the govern-
ment and that before too long
the small manufacturers and
our agricultural industry will
start to fail because they can no
longer sell their products. This
will simply add more to our
high unemployment rolls and in
turn ‘cost the taxpayer in-
creasing amounts of money
for Unemployment Insurance
benefits and/or Social Assis-
lance, 5
I must say that this matter
of national scope has never
really been brought to my at-
tention by the retail community
but rather, to their credit, by
the consumers, I have advised
the retail merchants to voice
their concerns in writing both
to me and‘to the Minister of
National Revenue.

the evening of Nov. 11 at

serve the large number, of

New Solar
Heat System
Cheaper :

A new way to create solar
heat which could be 30 to 60 per
cent cheaper than conventional
solar heating systems has been
developed by a professor at the
Massachusetts’ Institute of
Techhology in Cambridge:

Dr. Shawn Buckley, a
mechanical engineering profes-
sor, said the system consists of
four-by-eight-foot, 10-inch thick
panels, Each panel is a self-
contained solar heating module

which needs no external power
supply other than the sun's

on The device, called a ther-
mic diode, is a panel filled with
water. The panel collects heat
from the aun on its front side,
stores it, then supplies warmth
to the building via its hack side.

Dr. Buckley said the sys-
tem is cheaper than conven-
tional solar heating systems.
