Fed touts job program By RON NORMAN Editer B.C. must shed its “megaproject mentality” and turn to a “micro approach” in economic planning if it is to reduce the province's unemployment rate, says Art Kube, president of the B.C. Federation of Labor. Kube was in the West Kootenay ment program — March Fer Jobs —- off ‘the ground. The program is in its formative stages, but has three basic policies to achieve full employment: reducing work hours, maximizing industrial capacity including increasing secon dary manufacturing in resource sec tors, and creating small-scale com munity-based projects which will en hance the “quality of life” in B.C. com munities. Unemployment has reached the point where the Federation is forced to try to develop a project to put people back to work, Kube said in an inter view with the Castlegar News at the end of a five-week tour of unemployed action centres around the province. He said the two-year-old centres were established as “temporary” meas- ures, but are becoming “permanent fixtures.” The Federation employment pro gram calls for local labor councils and policies, which Kube described as “socially barbaric and economically in competent.” He accused the government of being responsible for the difference between the double digit unemployment the province is currently enduring and single digit unemployment, which he says could have been reached had the government followed a different course. He added Chat m@yuprojects such as Expo 86 and northeast coal have not produced the employment spin-offs that smaller projects could have. The government is spending $1.5 billion on developing northeast coal, but could have created four times as many jobs if the money had been fun neiled into community projects, Kube said. Similarly, Kube said there will be “nothing left” after Expo 86 is over. He called it “one big celebration” which will provide few jobs once it is finished. Instead, he said the Federation would like to see public funds invested in smaller community projects like a fish farming enterprise on the Sun shine Coast. Kube came to the West Kootenay directly from the Sunshine Coast where he visited the unemployed ac- tion centre in Gibsons. He said volunteers there are dis cussing creating jobs in selective iog- ging and by establishing woodworking the last two elections. Fairbank said the preliminary and revised voter's list shows there are 40,039 registered voters. However, the deadline for registration was extended im urban areas to Tuesday night and Fairbank said she has not had a chance to add up the fina! figure from late registrations But this year’s preliminary total is still more than 1,700 higher than the final figure in the 1979 election — the last time an enumeration was under. taken when 38,268 voters were regis tered. Fairbank said the returning office used the 1979 list in the 1980 federal election. She expects to tally the final figure for registered voters later this week Meanwhile, Elections Canada will meet its goal of getting between 16.5 million and 16.6 million names on the final voters list, chief electoral officer Jean-Marc Hamel predicted today Hamei said he thinks the percentage of the population on the final list will be slightly larger than in the 1980 elec- tion, despite difficulties enumerators had in reaching people who were on “and enumerators often had to visit « lhoGee three to five times before finding ¢eomedne bome.” ‘The original deadline for additions to thé voters list was Aug. 17, but Hame! @xtended it to Aug. 2 to give urban yoters more time. we ountry, especially in Western Canada. launched a lawsuit against Kootenay West NDP incumbent Lyle Kristian sen, the Trail Times newspaper, and CJAT radio for alleged libellous state ments made by Kristiansen two weeks.
