Elderly residents and others suffering from respir- atory problems have written to the local newspapere com- plaining the smoke is ‘so heavy they have had to go to hospital on occasion and even are considering leaving the area,

terior logging operations. Kevin Kelly, president of the union's Local 1-417 said in Kamloops that arbitrator Hugh Ladner’ dismissed a grievance by the local over the elimiantion of 63 jobs at Revelstoke by BC Timber. The IWA launched ‘the’ grievance last summer when BC Timber made 68 tempor- ary layoffs permanent, de- ciding to contract out logging and other work previously done by union members. OPENS FIELD © “An official of the Interior Forest Labor Relations Asso-

elation said the ruling effec: *

tively opens the logging field to non-union contractors throughout the southern In- terior.

Hearings on the grievance were held about six weeks

ago. Kelly. said Ladnere, pressured by both sides for his decision, issued’ “a one- line dismissal” of the griev-

:ance last Thursday. A writ-

ten report stating his reasons is not expected for another two or three weeks.

The IWA argued that con- tracting out of the Revel- ‘stoke jobs gutted its collec- tive agreement with BC

‘Timber, and Kelly said he is |

worried that the ruling may also be applied to other jobs held by IWA members.

Some of the Revelstoke jobs were in logging opera- tions that are sometimes contracted’ out, said Kelly. But others were traditionally union jobs, leaving a possi- bility that the IWA can ap- peal .the dismissal on the basis of an error by the ar- bitrator.

Teachers win case

)v\. The ceremony: took: place in: a packed * and : ‘hushed * Westminster Abbey, where monarchs-have been crowned ‘for 900 years, and the glamor | and éxcitement did much to dispel the last vestiges of austerity eight years after the Second World War,

On her accession to the throne 16 months earlier on the death of her father King George VI, the young Queen made a

public dedication of her life to the service of her people. :

KEEPS GRUELLING PACE

The monarch, also Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a handful of former colonies, keeps up a ‘gruelling round she pekably could not have maintained as an inexperienced girl

Speculation that i will hand over to her 34 year-old ‘ son-Prince Charles, whose wife Diana haa given the Royal Family a new injection of glamor, is seldom heard.

“She has never indicated that she would ever abdicate,” the palace told Reuters. “She certainly has no intention of abdicating at the present time.” -

History suggests the Queen could still have many years on the throne. Her namesake Queen Elizabeth I ruled for 45 years. Her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria lived to 81.

Close friends say the Queen wants to give the Prince and Princess of Wales at least a decade to bring up their children before thrusting the burden of monarchy on her son,

. But they ' are patiently being groomed for the throme. Charles now is taking-on more royal duties and the Queen is expected. to take more of a back seat in coming , years.

~ Charles is ranked by British opinion polls as.the fourth most popular royal figure, after his mother, grandmother and wife. =

FINDING OWN PLACE.

~The popular “Lady Di,” gingerly ‘finding her feet in publi speaking,is‘seen constantly and yisits places where ‘she can ‘raise’ m ale, dike hospitals‘ and ‘clubs for jobless yor:ths.

The arts of being a constitutional monarch have been

developed to a high degree in the hands of Queen Elizabeth, -

say her biographers.

She deftly avoide the pitfalls of political controversy, although Prince -Philip, whom she married in 1947, sometimes makes headlines with remarks on touchy sub-

ts.

Today, with interest i in the Royal Family apparently

almost insatiable, the Queen's popularity is not in doubt. .

One recent opinion poll found that if she were standing in Britain’s June 9 general election she would get a lot more votes than Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher... -

The Queen lives with the constant danger of assassin- ation by a deranged person or by Irish’ guerrillas, who in 1979 murdered her cousin, Lord Mountbatten of Burma.

AWARE OF DANGER

Royal biographer Ann Morrow wrote that her courage haz the truly heroic quality of bravery in the face of known danger.

“If someone really wanted to kill me it would be only too easy,” she says, pointing out that Queen Victoria survived six assassination attempts.

Royal security has undergone a thorough shakeup after a series of scandals.

A mentally disturbed youth in 1981 fired off six shots near the Queen as.she rode in a military parade in London. She coolly brought her bucking horse under control and rode on as bystanders grabbed the man.

Only later did she learn: the shots are blanks.

Last year, in an ever more startling security scare, a psychologically disturbed man walked not only into Buckingham Palace but into the Queen's bedroom. She chatted calmly to him for 10 minutes until help. arrived.

Queen Elizabeth's modest clothes, permanent-waved brown hair and plain, square handbags all carry on air of the 1950s and her glamorous daughter-in-law Diana is the unrivaled royal fashion pacesetter.

But she tirelessly flies the flag for Britain, playing host to President Reagan on the 4,700-tonne royal yacht Britannia in California before visiting British Columbia in March and just 8 i state visit to Sweden.

The Queen is admired also for keeping her dignity. in times where morals are markedly different from those of her youth and such doings as the romance of her second son Prince Andrew and former soft-porn actress Katherine (Koo) Stark are intensely reported by Britain's tabloid newspapers.
