|| Crash Simulator at the PNE Shows the Value of Seat Belts

One of the most important rides you may ever take in your life is at the 1977 Pacific National Exhibition and it {s

free.

Its the “Seat Belt Con- vincer", a crash simulator which dramatically demon- strates the value of seat belts. °

The Insurance Corporation and the Vancouver Safety Council are presenting the unique demonstration at the PNE Aug. 20 through Sept. 6 in the interest of public safety.

As part of the always popular Vancouver Police De- partment display in the B.C, Building, under the direction of Inspector J. S, Robertson, the *Convincer” will be in operation daily with PNE visitors invited

Constructed by the Cana: dian Association of Fleet Super- visors for the Vancouver Safety Council at a bargain cost of $2,000, the “Convincer” has at- tracted widespread attention since its initial appearance last spring. By the end of the PNE, it is estimated that more than 100,000 persons will have rid- den the “Convincer” to a sudden but safe stop.

“We naturally support the universal use of seat belts and - are pleased to participate in the PNE program,” said Norman Bortnick, executive vice-presi- dent and general manager of the Insurance Corporation.

“When you consider that two-thirds of all injuries in automobile accidents occur at 90 miles an hour or less, the importance of seat belts cannot “be minimized,” said Mr. Bort- nick. *

Vancouver Safety Council president Brian Lefler said that with more than a million per- sons expected to visit the PNE this year, public awareness of the value of seat belts should

increase

To ride the “Convincer”, one climbs a short staircase, settles into a comfortable seat mounted on a sturdy frame, is strapped in and given a final safety check by the operator, On release, it takes only a few seconds to travel the 12!s-foot incline and reach the maximum speed,

Human Resources Minister Bill Vander Zalm said recently many of the Japanese are still in the New Denver area, but the hall “is run-down ‘and in need of extensive repair.”

group should now be prepared to discuss financing and pro- cedures with Council.

I would like to offer here a few lines on the history of the water supply for our area,

When the Hugh Keenley- side Dam was being construct- ed the water supply for CanCel became endangered according to company officials, Thus B.C.

Hydro, installed a new com- He water supply for the company, at a cost a $8.6 million in 1965.

At the time of pulp mill construction, because the Columbis River would be polluted by. pulp mill waste, the Village of Castlegar had to vacate their water intake on the river.

‘The CanCel company agreed to install wells for the village worth $40,000. In the past 17 years a further contribution of $15,000 has been made to water supply works,

At the time of construction of the dam, the Town of Kinnaird had three wells installed by B.C. Hydro worth approximately $100,000 so that in total CanCel and B.C. Hydro have made $155,000 as an investment in domestic water supply in our city, compared to the $3.5 million water system received by CanCel from B.C. Hydro. .

‘The legal title for the pump house and works was transferred from B.C. Hydro to CanCel on ‘July 29, 1976 for a consideration of $1,100. The city currently has an agreement with CanCel which states that, “in the event that such wells shall not prove capable of supplying the normal water requirements of the Village at any time within the next 20 years from the date hereof, CanCel is prepared in the event and within such period to negotiate with the Village with a view to arriving at a satisfactory agreement for an

alternate primary supply of water.”

It is my observation that there exists in this matter, a lack of responsibility on the part of CanCel and B.C. Hydro as far as the citizens of this area are greatest whom work for these two companies.

The irony of the situation isathat we the citizens of B.C, collectively fund and own both of these Crown Corporations and they are operated under the direction of elected governments in BC.

It is for these reasons that Council is seeking cooperation and financial assistance from CanCel, B.C. Hydro, Provincial and the Federal Government in this project. This inequity. must be corrected; surely the citizens of our area deserve a domestic water supply of equal quality and quantity to that enjoyed by our local industry.
