District, was extremely gratify- ying. < It proved that this is a squestion of concern to most tresidents. What was even more ‘gratifying was the response to «the program as presented. : The steering committee tmembers, Art Graham, Bill Marks and Rik Hall, join me in ythanking all those that made ¥the evening the success it was: ‘Mr. D'Arcy, Mr. Vanderpol, ‘Reid Henderson, Carvel Moor- ‘ey, Ross Oborne, Hugh Woods, Jim Nelson, Ron Haugh, Roy +Heagy; The Castlegar News, *CKQR, Central Foods, Robson {General Store, RDCK, Al Mid- idleton, but most of all—the tpeople of Robson and Rasp- ‘berry who packed the hall and ‘appeared to respond very fa- yvorably to our program. = We feel our work is not ‘done by any means. Now we feel the public should have an ‘bpportunity to present its ques- tions and ideas in a more tpelaxed atmosphere. With this in mind, we are planning a bull session at the Robson Hall on Oct, 24 at 8 p.m. Let's get together over a cup of coffee and bat things back and forth with the objective of clearing up any doubts and making improvements, as well as viewing any other possible approaches, This is a good opportunity for those who missed the last meeting to learn the facts. We would also like to extend an invitation to the residents of the lower Pass Creek (below the falls) and Brilliant to attend, as it is expected that they will be.in- eluded in the area of protection. For those that missed the general meeting and have read the press releases, I would like to stress that the tax increases as indicated are “up to a maximum of 15 mills." This gives us the flexibility neces- sary, however, it may also be possible to provide this service for less. Flash: Thanksgiving Day almost turned into a tragic day in our community.

The brush along the road apparent- ly was set on fire by children playing with matches. Not far away were two duplexes simi- lar to the one which burned last spring.

Producers Confident pilot and free-1 writer. Lumber Picture Bright Canada's high-flying lum- ber prices have not dropped as much as was expected several months ago and British Colum- bia lumber producers now are fairly confident they will come close to matching last year's record performance. The latest forecasts offer encouragement to producers, especially integrated companies which are seeing their pulp fortunes improve. : Lumber prices have re- mained remarkably constant in B.C. this year and most ana- lysts believe any future sof- tening will be gradual. They agree there could be a price drop late this quarter or next year, but the long-range forecast says housing starts in the United States—the major market for B.C. lumber—will stay at around the two million mark annually until 1990. There were earlier fore- casts that U.S. housing starts could fall off to about 1.75 million this year, but Jamie Angus, an economist with the B.C. Council of Forest In- dustries (COFI), says they will surpass that and may reach almost 1.9 million by the end of the year, compared with 2.2 million last year. The Canadian housing in- dustry remains in the doldrums and offers little immediate hope of improvement for producers, Canadian housing starts de- clined to a seasonally-adjusted rate of 196,600 units in the second quarter, off 36 per cent from the first-quarter rate of 306,900.

Retabled Regional directors retabled once more their planned re- quest for a uranium mining and exploration moratorium after voting last Saturday to ask Premier Bill Bennett for clari- fication on newly-announced provincial government policy. ' Responding to the pre- by RDCK had not said whether hi government would place moratorium on exploration as well as mining of uranium, RDCK directors also dis- cussed a letter from deputy mines minister James Fyles—in response to a board invitation | made in August—confirming mier's recent that his government has placed a two-year moratorium on uranium mining in B.C. pending the findings of a public inquiry on the subject, Regional Dis- trict of Central Kootenay direc- tors supported a motion by Area J director Martin Van- derpo) to delay discussion of their request until further details of the new policy are available.
