Cotderbark John Munro quitting as MP HAMILTON (CP) — In- dian Affairs Minister John Munro, unable to face a return to life as a back- bencher, says he will quit his Commons seat within a few days to accept a position with an unnamed federal board. Munro, whose longshot bid for the Liberal leadership brought bitter disappoint- ment earlier this month when he finished a distant sixth on the first ballot, was told Tuesday by new Liberal Leader John Turner there was no place for him in the new cabinet to be sworn in Saturday. The member of Parliament for Hamilton East then re- turned tothe city in which he was born to tell riding as- sociation and staff members: “I expect I will not be an MP within a few days.” While his supporters seem- ed downcast but prepared for the decision, Munro appeared cheerful and self-confident at a news conference. He swore his allegiance to Turner, whose policies he had attacked during the three-month leadership cam- paign. Munro's politieal fate had been the subject of spec- ulation since he announced his support for eventual run- ner-up Jean Chretien before the convention's second bal- lot. Munro, who has repre- sented Hamilton East since 1962 and spent 14 years in cabinet, said he will pointed by Prime Minister JOHN MUNRO. . «not in cabinet Trudeau to a federal board which has “great relevance to the country and more par- ticularly to this area.” He said he was not offered an appointment to the Senate because he had made it clear he wasn't interested. The 68-year-old lawyer said if he stayed on as a back-bencher he would be “severely disabled” because his criticism of government policies might be interpreted as “sour grapes.” Echoing his policy differ- ences with Turner, Munro said as a back-bencher he would not be able to raise matters “that may be critical of the government ... and may be repetitious of some of the positions I took in the leadership race.” Parks Report by VAL MILLER Now that summer is here, what better way is there to enjoy it than by visiting a local park to picnic, camp, or just stroll along a trail. ‘ At Syringa Creek Provincial Park a variety of programs will be offered this summer to help visitors explore and experience the beauty of the park. Presently, the forest and thickets of the park are dappled in the orange, pink and white hues of numerous wildflowers. The treetops are alive with the songs of the tanager, vireo and redstart, and the shrill warning whistle of the ground squirrel is commonly heard along the grasslands. ‘The summer programs begin Friday at 8:30 p.m. with an evening talk entitled “It's Your Park” followed by the film “Here to Share.” These shows will give an insight into the behind the scene workings of a park and will give an overview of the West Kootenay area. On Saturday a children’s event is scheduled for 4 p.m. and at 8:30 p.m. a slide show called “What to do at Syringa” will be shown. On Sunday to celebrate Canada Day a wild tea party will be held at the picnic area from 3-5 p.m. bd An amazing variety of teas prepared from wild plants in the area will be available for everyone to taste. After supper why not join the interpretor for a stroll along Yellow Pine Trail to view some of the majestic scenery of the Monashee mountain that border Lower Arrow Lake? On Monday the activities continue with a 9 a.m. early bird walk and a 1 p.m. children’s event on Nature's Art. All evening programs will be held at the newly con- structed amphitheatre which is located behind the park information board in the campground. Syringa Creek Park offers something for the whole family. All the programs are free and are for tourists and local residents alike.

Child care society elects new execuive at meeting Hobbit Hill Program Director Cathy Lafortune said that the effects of high unemployment have mai themselves at Hobbit Hill Children’s Centre in the form of reduced full-time and increased part-time enrolment, and that greatly from month to month. Fixed costs at Hobbit Hill have risen while day care and Special Needs subsidies have not. The Centre has responded by reducing costs where possible, i services, initiati parent it program and undertaking fundraising projects. of the Society; and the high level of fundraising carried on over the year. Kagis outlined as goals for next year the building of an adventure playground at Hobbit Hill; the increase of Infant Development Program staffing to two full-time and the achievement of year-round funding for Special Needs children at Hobbit Hill. The theme of “difficult economic times” recurred throughout the evening. West Kootenay Infant Develop- ment Program Director Sandra Crossley emphasized the pressure placed on the program by more and earlier referrais of delayed or handicapped infants. The Infant Development Program has received no provincial funding increase in more than two years. As a result, the two consultants regularly exceed their recommended caseload and have instigated a waiting list for new families. ‘ Despite financial worries, the tone of the evening was much more positive than otherwise. A video entitled “Holding Hands With Friends” outlined the philosophies of the Infant Development Program and Hobbit Hill, and showed both programs in action. Arden Kagis presented past Society Administrative Director Ann Holden with an Honorary Membership in recognition and thanks for her years of involvement with the Society. Current board members were appointed for a further year's term and new board members elected. Three outgoing directors were presented with framed paintings by Hobbit Hill children in thanks for their work. The Board of Directors and two Program Directors all thanked the community for the terrific support shown the Society this year, and said they hope it ean maintain and improve services in 1984-85. | OTTAWA (CP) — Liberal ; John Turner and En- ergy Minister Jean Chretien continued to wait each other ‘out Tuesday as speculation grew that Chretien — who ame second to Turner in the Liberal leadership race — will not get all he is seeking in # Turner cabinet. Several Quebec MPs said it is unlikely Chretien will be Chretien: he accepts Turner's condi- tions. ternal affairs minister and deputy prime minister, at least to the next election, if Mortgage rates TORONTO (CP) — Rates for four-year and five-year mortgages climbed to the 15. per-cent mark today for the first time in more than 18 months as one bank and a major trust company raised their rates. Other banks and trust companies are expected to follow suit immediately William Clarkson, vice president of mortgages at Toronto Dominion Bank, said the increases by the Bank of Nova Scotia and Royal Trust put added pressure on other leaders to hike mortgage rates. Royal Trust increased its rate on most mortgages but the five-year rate re- mained at 14.6 per cent. Castlegar Savings Credit ‘Union has a rate of 13.5 per cent for its one-year open mortgage, while Kootenay Savings Credit Union has a rate of 18 per cent for its six-month open mortgage. Even if the other lenders hold off today, they are ex- pected to succumb to pres- sure Thursday when the Bank of Canada sets its rate. This is expected to increase by a large amount to prop up the sagging dollar, which closed Thursday at a record low of 76.12 cents U.S. Higher interest rates help attract investment funds into this country, thus raising de- mand for Canadian currency climb of the dollar, The last time mortgage rates were at the 15-per-cent level was in November 1962 when they were on a down- ward slide from the 21-per- cent mark.
