NDP SPENDING 83 MILLION OTTAWA (CP) — The New Democratic Party expects to spend almost $3 million on the federal election expected late this summer or in the autumn, the chairman of the party's election planning committee says. Terry Grier, a former MP and currently vice-presi- dent of Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto, said on Friday the party will spend about the same amount as in the 1980 campaign, $2 million, with inflation adding another $1 million for this campaign. He predicted the NDP will win at least as many federal seats as in 1980 when it took 32. CONFUSED CONVOY MOSSOMIN, SASK.

MP Bill Jarvis, who rep- resents the riding of Perth, Ont., says what it will take for the private sector to free up capital investment is “confidence in the govern- ment”. Jarvis was in Castlegar this week as part a tour to find out the main concerns of people, in formulating pol- icies. Using his own riding as an example, he said an enor- mous amount of investment capital has moved into sa- vings. He noted that monetary savings has been at “an extraordinary level.” “Our savings are the high- est in the world,” he said. “There's no incentive to in- vest in the marketplace. “It really is confidence they have to have,” he added. “The private sector has to have confidence.” “I may be over-estimating the attitudes of my consti- tuents, but they are .. . look- ing for confidence in a gov- ernment, a more incisive way.” Speaking on formulating policy, Jarvis said the party is attempting to tailer policy to “regional concerns.” Jarvis said it does no good for a policy to be applicable to Moncton, New Brunswick and not to Castlegar. He said the party can gain “a better perspective (visiting other ridings) than sitting in a board room in Ottawa going over documents.” Jarvis said it gives the party a better perspective in developing its policies, to find out the concerns and needs of the people. In his travels to the East and West Kootenay ridings, Jarvis said the main concern is “jobs.” In addition, concern was voiced by a small business person in Creston who had his bank account seized by Democratic Party leader and premier, remains in serious but stable condition at the intensive care unit of Civic Hospital, a hospital spokesman said Saturday. Douglas, 79, suffered fractured ribs, a possible concussion and chest injury when he was struck by a city bus late Tuesday afternoon on the Ottawa River parkway.

He said Gandhi was expected to tour the temple with senior army officers before the Sikhs’ holiest shrine is opened Monday to Sikh pilgrims for the first time since the assault by troops June 6.

There are also the senior advisors and other public servants to staff — what Jarvis considers “the machinery of govern- ment.” “We have to double the number of women in the first terms,” he said citing that there are far too few women on the National Parole Board and not one single woman on the Veterans’ Appeal Board. But what he said is the most important transition, is policy implementation. He said it will be a “very smooth and fast transition.” The initial transition would take some 30 days.

Following the leader- By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Staff Writer Fourteen young people will travel thousands of miles from India and various regions in Canada to spend 10 weeks in Castlegar learning about the community and the people who live here. Seven young Canadians and seven Indians will arrive in Castlegar Aug. 22 as part of the Canada World Youth educational exchange, and will stay with host families here during their stay, says group leader Mary Lindsay. The non-profit program is funded primarily by the Can: adian International Development Agency, and is for young people aged 17 to 20. A team of 21 Canadians is matched with 21 participants from a Third World country. This group is divided into three sub-groups of seven Canadiafs and seven Third World country participants. ‘The Castlegar group will spend three months in Canada, and three months in villages in India, said Lindsay. Two other Canada World Youti. groups will go to Rossland and Nelson, she said. “The reason we're in Castlegar is because the response of the people in the community was so positive,” said Youth group to come program, they're expected to raise $200 in pledges from sponsors in their home community — usually service clubs, businesses, or universities. After three months in Canada, the Castlegar group will fly to India. “In India, we'll be going to work in small villages, and working on a development program there,” said Lindsay She hasn't yet been told what jobs her group will be working on in India, although the work will be done through a youth organization, said Lindsay. By meeting and working with young people from all over Canada and from another country, as well as actually living in another country, participants in Canada World Youth achieve a broadened sense of perspective. They learn about life outside their own home town, said Lindsay. Lindsay said two of the program's fundamental objec- tives are to foster cross-cultural understanding, and to give young people a better sense of national and international developments. And residents in host communities may also gain from contact with the Canada World Youth volunteers. “It gives people here an opportunity to have contact with people from another country and culture,” explained All the young Indians in the program come from ity backgrounds.

One day a week will be set aside as an “educational day” where the participants will work on personal projects such as research papers on some aspect of life in Castlegar. The Canada Work Youth workers will also each do another project about the village in which they stay in India, Lindsay added. “The idea is, through their various projects, they get a real idea of how . . . Castlegar works,” she said. “Their educational focus is really, really important in the program. It's definitely not a holiday program,” said Lindsay The participants in Canada world youth aren't paid for the work they do.

Lindsay is in Castlegar for the next few months to find volunteer work placements for her group, and to arrange host families for the participants. “What we're really looking for is a cross-section of work placements and families so participants get an insight into the community,” said Lindsay. For those interested in the Canada World Youth Program, a slide show and general orientation meeting will be held at the National Exhibition Centre at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Lindsay who has lived in Indonesia and Somalia during three years as a group leader describes Canada World Youth Program as being an “intensive” experience. And it’s not one that should be missed, she adds. “Because they live the experience, they come away from it with real changes in their perceptions and values,” said Lindsay. “It most often results in a real maturing process as well.” FOR MEDICAL STAFF out, cracking jokes with re porters even as he gently re- buffed most of their ques. tions.
