“The result would be

less money for government

speech to the, Vancouver

lower inflation and eventual-

He illustrated his point
with the case of a worker

receives an eight per cent
increase amounting to $1,600,
on which he would pay ap-
proximately $500 in tax. If

For years I’ve been

himself Your TV Repair It
drove me a little nuts. The
messages were always lively
and salty and blunt.

This year, the TV Repair
Man came out of the closet.
But not completely. He still
wouldn't sign his name.

In the. same mail, I re-
ceived a copy of a long letter

written to the editor of the .

Gazette-Reporier,
Man.

Both letters dealt with a
particular column I'd, writ-
ten. Comparing them might
give the gentle reader a cross-
section of the philosophy of
Canadians. I'll print parts of
them, sticking my own oar in
whenever I dang well feel like
it.

Westminster Mayor Muni
Evers gets his way ads like

far off.

Evers said that once it is
vacated the old prison would
make an ideal home for
restaurants, @ cultura! cen-
tre, commercial office apace
or even a trade show centre.

And the fortress-like
building with its tall grey
walls could double as a tour-
ist attraction, Evers said. “It
could be an exciting develop-
ment.”

B.C. Pen director Herb
Reynett said the last inmates
will leave the century-old in-
stitution by March 31. He
said the federal corrections
service will transfer the
prison to the federal public
works department in late
May or June.

appointed to the provincial
apprenticeship board by Min-
ister of Labor Jack Heinrich.

In a letter to Gray, the
minister said “I am ex-
tremely pleased with the
calibre of appointments
which I have been able to
make and I know that your
experience will add im-
measurably to the deliber-
ations of the board in hand-
ling its very significant

The board's chairman is

ator for the ministry of labor.

tatives of industry and labor.

These inmates will be

Much of the prison,
