The second half of the

was a western melodrama,

The evening suffered from
the company's lack of

Testing underway

for PCBs in food

ABBOTSFORD, B.C, (CP)
— Federal and provincial
veterinarians promised
Fraser Valley mink
producers Wednesday they
will do'a crash testing pro-
gram to determine levels of
the toxie chemical PCB in
mink feeds.

The commitment came at
a special meeting belween
government officials and the
executive of the B.C. Mink
Producers Association,
which fears the $20-million
industry could be wiped out
because of PCB

(polychlorinated biphenyls)
in the feed,

-The PCB accidentally
found its way into tallow

rted from the U.S. by
thnee Abbotsford feed firms,
Buckerfields, Surrey Co-

operative and Ritchie Smith

The government officials
said the contaminated tallow
was used for about a month
before detected.

From the feed companies,
the chemical ‘ended: up in
chicken feeds and when

eaten by the birds wasstored .

in their body fats. Waste
chicken parts were then sold
to companies supplying
mink feed.

Provincial —_velerinarian
Dr, Bob Avery said after the
meeting that If the PCB
levels are high enough
“mink either have
reproduction failure ar if it is
at particularly high levels it
is lethal,”

Canada has no tolerance
level for PCB. The U.S, level
is 3ppm.

Yellowhead meeting
is here this weekend

Ed Yudin
Herald Staff Writer

A host of dignitaries from
the four western provinces
will be in Terrace Friday
and Saturday to attend the
annual convention of the
Yellowhead Highway
Association.

For Terrace, it will be the
largest such event of its kind
within recent memory with
over 100 representatives of
municipalities and the
provinces gathering in the
Terrace Hotel.

Dave Maroney, the mayor
of Terrace and immediate
president of the
associatlon, will be official
hos. -

Acccording to Maroney
“it looks like there is going to
be a really good turnout,
providing the weather holds
out,”

Labour problems al the
Prince Rupert airport could
result in overcrowding at the
Terrace-Kitimat airport
here radio operators are
performing designated
duties only. Linda Walker,
the secretary of the
Yellowhead Interprovincial
Highway Association, ex-
pressed some concern
saying, “if things don’t work
out, it would cause
problems,"

Among those scheduled to
attend is Harry Enns, the
highways and transport
minister for the province of
Manitoba, and Harry
Graham, the speaker for the
Manitoba Legislature, Bob
Harvie, a deputy minister of
highways for the B.C.
government will attend as
will Tom Gentle> the
assistant transport minister
for Saskatchewan.

The federal government
will send Don Cameron the
MP for Kamloops-Shuswap
to the convention. Cameron
has been briefed by Prime

‘Minister Joe Clark and

Transport Minister Don
Mazunkowski.

Kitimat Mayor Grerge
Thom end Marchal]
Dolinsky, the assistant
transport minister for
Alberta, will be at the con- |
vention, as well.

The theme of the day long
series of session on Saturday
is ‘The Yellowhead,
Canada's Route
Resources.’ |

| “There ‘will-be- about Li
resolutions on the agenda,
including some to pressure
the government for more
funds for the highway,”
explained Maroney. He
noted there will be a new
association president ap-
pointed, and among other
things the association’s
name will beshortened to the
Yellowhead Highway
Association.

Tom Shandrow, the
association's executive .
director, says the convention
will look at ways to upgrade
the highway. Such proposals
as widening the shoulders of
the Prince Rupert to Win-
nipeg route, and creating
more lanes on the slopes will
receive serious can-
sideration,

At present the highway is
funded by the municipalities
along the Yellowhead route.
Most hopes for upgrading
the highway lle in convincing

to |
Sie

the federal government to
pump funds into the road. In
an Oct, 2 interview, Shan-
drow, told the Herald the
association ‘was quite
encouraged by the attitude of
the present governments
after years of trying.”
Shandrow, in outlining the
association’s priorities,
noted “we're very much
conserned about getting the
Terrace to Prince Rupert

_ stretch ‘in shape as fast as

possible, particularly in the
light of the potential of
Prince Rupert as a deep
ocean port and lerminus of
the highway.”

Plans for the local part of
the highway is only one topic
of discussion this weekend.
