Pat for CanCel, Rap for Prince ‘Rupert

Assessment Cut Upheld

Directors of the Canadian
Cellulose Company Ltd. got 2
pat on the head Tuesday of last
week in a B.C. Appeal Court
judgment.

Prince Rupert got a rap on
the head.

The compliment was paid
by Justice A. B. B. Carrothers
in a judgment dismissing an

Rupert against an assessment

Justice Carrothers and
Justice E. E. Hinkson upheld a
B.C. Supreme Court ruling that
the assessment appeal hoard
was right in- holding that
CanCel’s sulphite operation no
longer existed.

The pollution control
branch some time ago had
ordered CanCel to install pollu-
tion control devici which
would have cost $80 million, or
shut the mill down by Dec. 31,
1979.

However, the company de-
cided to convert the sulphite
mill into a kraft pulp mill.

Justice Carrothers said
this decision “was a credit to

‘The judge said that instead
of spending the $80 million on
pollution control or alterna-

permanently, the directors de-
cided to modify the mill to the

and by employing slightly more

‘The judge held that in law
both the pollution contro! order
and the conversion were the
subject of an enforceable gov-

the life of the 25-year-old
sulphite mill and would im-
prove the character and quality
of the industrial climate of
Prince Rupert.

He said he thought the

Castlegar's results have
been most favorable. Some of
the norms in the sub-skill or

norms for the larger testing

norms are above those for the
larger testing area.

This correlates with the

assessment results over the
last two years which indicate
that this is a district of
strength. We can conclude that
in School District No. 9 schools,
effective learning and effective
teaching has taken place as
measured by these tests.

An evaluation program
must allow us to “take a

more effective teaching strate-
gies for students. On the dis-

certain that for next September

“Chocolate is very bad for

About 500 persons showed

‘The recipe included 350
bushels of apples weighing

sugar, 1,080 pounds of stabil-

The Lydonville Canning

So Useful . . . And so Dangerous : i

Keep Poisons Out of Reach

Medicines and a large
variety of cleaning products,
insecticides, etc.... are used in
every home. They are harmless
when used properly, but dan-
gerous and even fatal when
misused. This is Child Safety
Week and the Canada Safety
Council wishes to stress the
following. :

Cleaning fluids, paint thin-
ners, insecticides and other
mixtures are too often stored in
soft drink bottles. The use of
improper containers is a fre-
quent source of trouble as
contents may be easily mis-
taken.

To a child, a soft drink

+ bottle means something good to

drink, regardless of the con-
tent. On the other hand, con-
tainers that once held poison
should be rinsed thoroughly
and thrown away.

Medicines with a candy
flavor can be a greater poison-
ing menace than “regular fla-
vor" ones. Never tell children
that-a good tasting medicine is
candy—they will search it out
and eat it. Children under five
usually taste whatever gets
into their hands.

Don't leave medicine and
toxic substances within the
child's reach. Common exam-
ples are analgesics (mainly
headache tablets), cleaning
fluids, disinfectants, _ insecti-
cides, furniture polish, etc... .
If you carry pills or aspirin in
your purse, do not leave it

|’ where a young child may ex-
; plore the contents.

If a child swallows a
poisonous substance, call a

“doctor at once. Give the name

of the poison and follow his

product like gasoline, or when
you don't know or are not sure
what type of poison the child
has taken, do not’ induce’
vomiting.

If the child is unconscious
or convulsing, do not induce
vomiting. When you know the
poison is not corrosive, make

the child vomit by making him
drink no more than one glass of
a solution of water and salt, If
this fails, tickle the back of the
child's tongue and throat with
your fingers. If vomiting docs
not occur, go immediately to
hospitat and bring the poison
container.
