Leidal also attended the meet-
ing, sald CanCe! and other
potential funding agencies are
waiting to hear the provincial
government's decision on the
city’s propusal before making
any commitment.

Interviewed by the Castle-
gar News Tuesday, D'Arcy said
CanCel, B.C. Hydro and the
federal department of regional
economic expansion —from
which the city may seek aid for
the remaining 25 per cent of the
system's capital costs which
would not be covered by
provincial funding—will. prob-
ably rely’ on the ministry's
judgement rather than auto-
matically agreeing to assist the
city in its proposed system.

“If they (CanCel) can get
soft water cheaper from the
well. than from the Arrow
Lakes, then on that basis I
would be rather surprised if
CanCel or the city went to that
much expense,” D'Arcy said.

He said he would also be
surprised if the city, even with
the aid of CanCel, proceeded
with the Arrow Lakes pipeline
tie-in without provincial gov-
ernment funding, Proceeding
with the tie-in would. be pos-
sible but unlikely, he said.

He sald the committee

“have a particular type of ex-

city that we don't have.” The
formation of similar residents’
advisory committees for var-
fous aspects of city planning
should be encouraged, Embree
said.

Embree said the commit-
tee should also be considering
development within rather
than outside city boundaries
because it is “less expensive,”
and the use of land use

Life Still Strong

Despite:increased divorce
rates and lower birth rates,
family life remains a strong
social institution and is not dis-

integrating as some would:

believe, says a report released
recently by Statistics Canada.
+The report, based on 1971
census figures, says family life
has undergone major changes
in the 10 years since the last
count because of social trends.
But it was in a state of reorgani-
zation not disorganization,
Nine out of 10 families

continued to involve both a’

husband and a wife. Marriage
was still popular and in-
creasing.

The rate increased in 1971
to 8.9 new marriages per 1,000
persons from seven per 1,000 in
1961.

There was alsb a tendency
to marry for the first time at a
younger age.. Average age at
first marriage decreased to 24.9

years for grooms and 22.6 years
for brides in 1971 from 25.8
years and 22.9 years respect-
ively in 1961.

While marriage rates re-
mained high among women
aged 20-24, the percentage
married declined to 55.7 in 1971
from 69,2 in 1961.

© major changes in-
families were a drop in: birth
rates and an increase in divorce
rates.

Births dropped markedly
to 16.8 per 1,000 persons in
it from .26.1 per 1,000 in

The divorce rate climbed
to 137.6 per 100,000 persons in
