Federal and p authorities are “engaged in a foot-dragging contest” over the Castlegar water supply issue, according to Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco,

Brisco said he raised the issue in the Commons Thurs- day, asking Marcel Lessard, the minister responsible for re-

“Without an improved water system, the Castl area is going to be in trouble.”

Brisco said a new water system would require approxi- mately $3 million each from the federal and. provincial govern: ments and $1 million from focal government.

He said such a Tinancing arrangement was “reached for Fort Nelson ona similar project in 1974, and that ‘the same arrangement should be made at Castlegar.

“All we need is to have the federal and provincial govern- ments honor thier pledge of special assistance to the area,” he said, “and I intend to hold them to it.”

Trained for the Deaf

Mongrel’ dogs are being trained to serve as ears for deaf people who cannot hear’ door- bells, alarm clocks and other everyday sounds.

The bright, friendly mutts are taught by the American Humane Association to help the hard-of-hearing the same way ‘guide dogs help the blind.

One of the first trained

dogs was delivered recently to a hard-of-hearing couple in Ar- lington, a Boston suburb. , “I won't have to worry. about people knocking at the door or missing phone calls,” said Philip Watson the new owner of Penny.

When: somebody knocks, Penny runs to the door, races

back to Watson, circles him and _

.then speeds to the door again. She keeps it up until Watson opens the door himself.

‘The. ‘committee, under’ the’, chairmanship of the agriculture minister, has provided. assts- tance for towns in Saskatche-: wan and Alberta, Marchand sald. He said he would bring the area's water problem to. the

committee's attention at wellas,:}

But he said the Saal government would.be involved in DREE funding for the water: supply.

* “Since it is an agreement with the provinge, we will have. to work with the province on this as well," Marchand said.

- Rossland-Trai] MLA Chris D'Arcy also on the panel, said the likelihood of the provincial government turning down as- sistance for the water supply is

not great. Since the provincial

government started its own assistance program in 1974 providing 75 per cent funding for capital costs: over. three mills, it has not turned down that assistance to any muni- cipality, he sald,

“There's been a bulk water system installed right in the Municipal Affairs Minister Hugh Curtis’: own : riding in- volving the municipalities of Saanich, North Saanich, Cen- tral Saanich and North Sydney which is at least as ambitious as the one envisaged by Castle. gar,” he said.

“But the provincial govern- ment is- not going to come around waving a cheque in-our faces,” D'Arcy .said. “But there's no indication that they wouldn't come in with 75 cents on the dollar.” ”

D'Arcy said he had been

informed that a decision on the _ | city's request will be made very ~

shortly.” He said the provincial government “doesn't. want to shove anything down our

,throats,” but wishes to ensure, that all. options have been

explored.
