Western for approximately a
year, a union leader in
Vancouver said,

Pharmacists rely heavily on
medical drug wholesalers to
supply them with either a
majority of medical stock or
minimum quantity orders in the
case of many independent drug
store owners.

. In Terrace, the Cunningham
drug store will feel the pinch ot
a wholesale drug strike before
the other pharmacies.

Until recently the Terrace
Cunningham store had recetved
approximately 95 percent of its
supplies from Western in
Vancouver. However the store
reportedly had received
instructions from Vancouver to
purchase much of its supplies
from medical drug

“ however,

manufacturers representatives
in anticipation'.of the
strike,...something the
‘Cunningham chain has never
done before. .

Many independent drug
stores purchase the bulk of their
supplies .from manufacturers
representatives but buy
Taimimum quantity items
through wholesale outlets,

Pharmacists could purchase
the supplies they need from
alternate sources in Alberta,
they fear the
Teamsters International--the
trucking union—will call the
supplies hot and refuse to
transport them.

A survey of local stores shows
that they carry approximately a
two to three week supply of
drugs and would be affected by
any prolonged strike.

premises on which they are sold
or offered for sale unless the
person undertakes to refund to
the purchaser on delivery up of
the container the sum of not less
than two cents for each
container.”

Regulations under the Litter

Act define drinks as: “soft
drinks, fruit drinks, and
reconstituted fruit drinks

consisting of less than 85
percent pure fruit juice and
concentrates thereof.”

A container, according to the
regulations, ‘means a glass,
plastic, or metal container of a -
capacity of less than 40 fluid
aunces,’’

Another regulation provides
that a retail merchant can limit
to 18 the number of containers
he accepts on any one day from

any one customer. The purpose
of this regulation is to prevent
‘stores From being swamped
with large numbers of
containers and being faced with
major administrative
problems.
BOTTLE DEPOTS

The act, “without limiting”
the two-cent refund per
container, allows merchants to
make arrangements for a depot
“convenient for his customers
for the acceptance of containers
purchased from him for refunds
to the purchaser as required.”
This alse applies to government
liquor stores under the
Government Liquor Act.

Bottlers and processors are
prohibited by regulation from
“contracting for any further.
bottles or containers on which is
written or stamped any form of
words indicating that the
container is not returnable or
that no refund is payable
thereon.”’

The Lilter Act prohibits the
disposal of litter on any land or
Iresh water, with the only
exceptions being: in
compliance with a permit
issued under the Pollution
Control Act; where litter is
burned in compliance with
existing provincial or local
regulations; by burying and
covering with not less than 12
inches of elean sail; or where
disposal facilities are provided
and proper and accepted
‘methods are used, in
accordance with the Health Act.

Sewage from Trailers, Boats

One section of the Litter Act
deals with the discharge of
“domestic sewage or waste”
from trailers, campers,

h

; and house-boats.

nortable housing units, boats

It prohibits
such discharge into “any fresh
water or watercourse or on
land,” with certain exceptions:

“in compliance with a permit

issued under the Pollution |

Control Act; where disposal
facilities are provided, in
accordance with proper and
accepted methads of disposal
using those facilities, and in
accordance with the Health Act
and regulations; or by
excavating a pit on.land and
burying and covering domestic
sewage or wast with not less
than 12 inches of clean soil.”
At Camp, Too

Anyone establishing or
maintaining a camp, except on
privately owned or occupied
land, is obliged by the Litter Act
to make proper use of toilet and
sanitary facilities where they
are provided, or .to excavate, .
Maintain and use a. pit toilet.

“No person shall abandon or
leave a camp unless he first
buries and covers the pit toilet
with at least 12 inches of clean
soil.’’.

Penalties

The final sections of the Litter
Act provide that persons who
contravene the act are “liable,
upon summary conviclion, to
the penalties prescribed in the
Summary Convictions Act,’
which allowsfor fines up to $500.
A summons can be issued by
means of a ticket.

Copies of a brovhure which

quotes the Litter Act and copies
of the regulations to the act are
available from the Department
of Recreation and
Conservation, and
Department of Travel Industry,

Bylaws

She said there may be a
danger that the buyer will not
purchase the property if the
bylaws were made public at this
lime.

After the passage of the bylaws
negotiations as to conditions of
the sale were re-opened at the
request of the . intended
purchaser, he said.

“It is vital to the future of the
District of Terrace,’ said
Jolliffe, “that these
negotiations be brought to a
successful close,

“We took this action so as not
jeopardize our position.
“All details to the case will be
open to public inspection as
soon as negotiations are

to

completed.”
