Marchand was referring to a biological contro] method for the budworm, which now threatens the forest economy of several regions in Canada. At present, the-only control avail- able is aerial spraying of chemical insecticides which can present ecological problems. C th restricted group of defoliating insects (Lepidoptera). The technique has been studied by Dr. W. A. Smirnoff, aresearch scientist at Environ- ment Canada’s Laurentian For- est Research Centre in Sainte Foy, Que. In progress since 1971, Dr. Smirnoff's experi- ments have been particularly encouraging in the past three years. He has tested various con- centrated, water-based formu: lations containing B.t., an anti- evaporant, an adhesive and chitinase, an enzyme which eo of biological control techniques for the budworm has long been a high priority for it the effects of the bacteria.

Car Stickers Must Show Asking Price All cars displayed for sale in B.C. must carry a sticker with the asking price, under new regulations governing automotive dealers announced by Rafe Mair, consumer and corporate affairs minister. Mair said B.C. is the first jurisdiction in North America known to require this for used cars. The minister also said the fee for the basic dealer's licence will be increased in two stages, to $84 from $24 and to $168 by January, 1980, to pay for more vigorous enforcement of the legislation. He said the new regula- tions, which take effect in January, require car dealers to give their customers more information and higher stand- ards of protection. Mair said the majority of automotive dealers support the rules that will “inhibit the operations of an unscrupulous minority of shady dealers,” and promised a crackdown on the shady dealers. Other regulations state: e All unsafe cars being sold for parts must display a sticker warning that they are not suitable for transportation; © Dealers must disclose their knowledge of whether a used car was brought into B.C, for resale from another pro- vince (which may, for example, use road salt that contributes to rusting); TO LEASE! !

Frank Dohr- mann, known to the kids on the block as Grandpa, saw it and gave his life to save his young friend. “He heard the neighbors holler, ‘Stevie, Stevie, Stevie," said Stevie's mother, Cynthia, “He knew Stevie -vas coming across the street.” Neighbors who saw the accident said Dohrmann, 83, rushed off his porch and pushed Stevie out of the path of the oncoming car. There was a squeal of brakes. “All could think was that Stevie got run over,” said Mrs. Oliver. “Then I saw his little white head. I was afraid to turn around and look. I thought it was one of the (neighborhood) kids.” Instead, it was Grandpa Dohrmann who was hit. He died a few minutes later. Witnesses told police the car left the scene. Editor, Castlegar News: The provincial govern- ment, through-its Minister of Forests, Tom Waterland, has recently awarded a contract for a 260-ton, 535-foot bridge for the construction of the Walker Creek Forest Road Bridge to a company that intends to do the steel fabrication in its Alberta plants, * This company underbid a B.C. company by 1% per cent or $6,752. The past provincial governments gave B.C, com- panies a five per cent pre- ference on government work ever out-of-the-province bid- ders. This government has reversed this policy. In Alberta, the income taxes are less; there is no sales tax; wages are much lower, What is more crucial, Alberta does not have a chronic un- employment problem like Brit- ish Columbia will experience this winter. The work on this job would have been done during the months of Novem- ber, December and January. This action by the pro- vincial government is abso- lutely unacceptable when thousands of British Colum- bians are ‘being forced onto _ welfare and U.LC.

Insulin shots, the usual treatment for diabetes, are not always enough to offset the damaging effects of too much sugar in the blood, especially in people whose diabetes starts in childhood. Doctors hope to find a way to inject a combination of insulin and the body chemical somatostatin with,d needle. If successful, researchers predict it might free diabetics from the often fatal effects of the di- sease. It's redecorating time.
