How nice for ; a change to sce Canada’s annual contest played in AN good weather and LANHANL with excellence, on both sides, This was the most exelting cliffhanger I can remember, with the results unpredictable until the final seconds, Lancaster's decision, with four-and-a-half minutes of play remaining, to kick instead of keeping possession, may have been his one fatal error. Here's one Canadian dis- pute that didn’t stir up regional animosities, It was an East- West confrontation that left only the best of memories till next year, « . We Gain a Little and Lose ‘a Little—The Canadian dollar, now being subjected to neces- sary adjustment on foreign exchanges, will likely end up in the middle nineties. We are selling less and buying more abroad than usual and we have cut down on borrowing. One effect will be to dis- courage our weekend migra- tions to the, U.S. of A. for groceries, but it will help our. exporters selling in terms of U.S. dollars. That includes CanCel and Cominco {and us shareholders). sali Bhisakee wag tae sonal reaction to Nov. 20th's game with Rossland was mixed. ‘The first period was what I call "Chippy". Both sides’ were taking cheap shots at each other. The “pros” do this with a ‘certain amount of finesse, but our lads were charging and boarding with a rawness that was disgraceful. However, the referees got tougher in the last two periods. The game improved markedly, and I am glad I dido’t obey my impulse to leave the arena at the end of the first chapter. Most fans would agree with me, Generally, people are impressed with the playing ability of our unite . “Jaunched a suit’in the” courts ~ against the provincial govern- ment's allowing the Anti- Inflation Board to have juris- diction over teachers’ salaries. And the federation’ is riews ‘letter of Nov, 16 urged teachers to “harass and obstruct” AIB workings in every possible way, One of their points is the fact that the AIB which came into operation in June was dis- allowing arbitration awards ef- fective Jan, 1st of this year. The teachers might just win this ono, totally, or at least the validation of the increases applying to the January-June ion. They will not, however, win the affection of the public, The public long ago became annoyed when, in the annual fall charade of arbitration, the school boards’ offers and the ‘teachers’ demands were in- variably settled more or less “in the middle". No wonder the teachers’ proposals got higher and higher! There were never ‘any meaningful details given to the tax payers. What bothers us is that with teachers getting into ever higher. professional categories and benefitting from automatic status emolument, they still think the cost of living ¢ changes should also be granted ‘across ‘the board. One could reason that the younger. and more mortgage- bound individuals | requiring help would get greater percent- age increases while the esta- biished ones with theirs all paid off (and ‘at. ridiculously ‘low interest rates) would be happy with smaller increases. None of the details about settlements ever appear in print, and the public is general- ly left guessing. Perhaps: we judge teachers harshly. If so, we would be grateful for as- surances as to whether there is common sense used in setting increases partly according to need, and not primarily to seniority. os 8 8 Maximum Security [Pri- son) for Castlegar? Most of you will have heard Gordon Brady's interesting broadcast on CKQR: about ‘the possibilities of lo- cating a maximum security federal institution near Castle- gar. ly opinion is that Brady ited boldness and intelli, ce in airing this idea, and his" ‘interrogation ¢@f the head of the’ ‘Prince Albert” institution was’ apt and revealing. Prince Al- bert was said to be uncon- cerned about having “hard” cases interred at its doorstep, CB Operator Renders Assistance to Police An 18-year-old used his citizen's band radio last week to alert police that he was chasing two men he had seen leaving a general store wearing bala- clavas and carrying a shotgun and a rifle.

Mayor Winje Retains Seat On Council A 60 per cent turnout at the recent municipal polls saw Mayor Agda Winje re-elected with 99 votes against her op- ponent Stephan Cooley's 90 votes. There was no aldermanic race as Stan Doi joined in- cumbent Ald, Louis “Adams, filling the position which was made vacant by Mr. Cooley.

His fuel-saving greenhouse differs from the conventional ones found elsewhere in‘south- ern Ontario, It has been built standing sideways to the sun for maxi- mum exposure. There is little glass along the well-insulated north side, which is away from the sun, Glass'‘used is not real glass but a new, transparent, corru- gated, polypropylene plastic which permita light to come in but retains heat after the sun sets. “The walls and roof are sharply slanted so the sun's rays strike them directly.

The greenhouse will pro- vide about 900 square feet of growing space, a root cellar and polting shed.

Our main purpose in going was to find out what was being done about pollution that the mill is producing. Some solu- ~ tions for the pollution problems are as follows: 1, CanCel made an ‘im- provement for the effluent clarifier which helps to purify the water that the mill empties into the river. 2. A filt:> was installed in the Woodroom to prevent the fine particles of wood from entering the river. 3. A scrubber was in- stalled to prevent fly-ash and salt cake from escaping into the atmosphere! ‘Our guide was Mr. Wallace Reid, who was very patient with our persistant question- ing. He also gave very good explanations about what was’ happening at the " different ‘stages which: turned: logs into = rough paper. ‘The tour of the mill was interesting and exciting. We would like to thank CanCel for. allowing us to visit, and Mrs. Hill for taking 1 us. Last week « we revealed to you the first five results of our questionnaire. This week we'll continue with the last five questions. We thought it would be interesting to"know what the most favored sports were among the Grade 8 and 9 students, and the results show that the most popular activities were pee volleyball, eoccer, and sl The ae question - dealt | with what sort of career was being considered for the future. The largest response was to be a teacher. The less popular answers were to bea secretary, to work with law and to be a nurse. The next question we asked was one just for fun: What is your favorite color of eyes? We found that this year blue eyes are in and brown and green eyes are out. +. The next two questions dealt with the favorite pastime of KISS students . IB. ‘The most popular foods were Italian food, chicken, steak and hamburger. The most common drinks were soda-pop, milk and all sorts of juices. We hope you have had as - much fun reading this as we had doing. it. .
