A recent engineering report revelaed there was an exonomic advantage in a single integrated water system, a slight economic advantage in a groundwater source aS opposed to a river infiltration gallery and no economic advantage in connection to the existing Terrace _ municipal system, he said.

The Bench area will not be involved in the proposed system because it already has a private community system that is working well, he said. A community water system is a less expensive alternative on a per household base, allows an individual to connect to this supply at a reasonable rate, and has the advantage of rteiring construction costs over a period of 20 years through frontage or parcel tax, says Les Watmough, the Thornhill director on the regional board. Another advantage is an improved fire protection system which will maintain or reduce fire insurance New gallery opens The Gaollery Arts and Crafts Shop will open at the corner of Lakelse Ave. and Kalum St. on Monday, Dec. 4, says the owner Irene Horner. The shop used to house the local RCMP detachment and .the old spelling of jail was gaoll. That was so close to the spelling of gallery that Horner decided to connect the new with the historic significance of the building. So far people seem pleased that there is a shop like this one going into Terrace, she said. “My biggest problem right now is lack of room.” There will be paintings, | carvings, batik, weaving, macrame, wicker products, pottery and porcelain, metal sculptures and children's furniture sald at the Gaollery, Horner says there is an “active arts community in Terrace and the consumer , market for art products is good, REGIONAL DISTRICT QE KITIMEAT STIRINE THORNHELD ENGINCE RING STUDY PROPOSE LPAVATER SUPPLY SYSTURE explained rates and could be in- strumental in making mortgage moeny more available to the area, says Watmough. , Readers should note that the newsietter circulated on Thursday was in error when it said the referendum was on Dec. 7.

In a renewed bid to get provincial government al- tention for the problem, the Union of Spiritual Com- munities of Christ has ap- peated to the Central Koote- nay Regional District to pressure the attorney- Beneral's ministry for ac- tion. Koochin, a executive member of the union, which represents about 8,000 members in B.C., said the strife belween the two groups is growing worse rather than diminishing. Guards are posted around the clock at the homes of members whose lives and properties have been threatened, he said. Since 1975, when the Brilliant community hall near here was destroyed in an arson fire, the union has kept a 24-hour-a-day watch on a new hall to protect it from a repeat attack. Volunteers stand over the grave of a Doukhobor September to ensure if is nat bombed, another union member said. Despite (hreats on peaple's lives, arson damage estimated al between $2.5 and $3 mitlion in the last eight: years, and ominous signs of even greater violence, the government has done little to sulve the problem, he said. “For the last three years, we have requested about every three weeks an audience with Garde Gar- dom (provincial atlorney- general), but every time we have been refused,’ Koochin said. He said the union has spoken to a ministry civil servant, but promises of action, including a special committee to study the problem, have been broken, he said. “They (the government) think the problem will dissolve by attrition,” he said. ‘‘That is very much of an illusion." Koochin said the Sons of Freedom, a splinter group numbering about 2°000, has passed through several phases in its protest. Essentially a group oi purists who see the union as leading the Nock astray, they first protested by setting examples, such as carrying the vegelarian credo of the sect to extremes by refusing to wear leather shoes around the turn of the century. Then came a period of per- suasion in which they at- tempted to win union members to the Sons of Freedom cause. The “Whit really scares us is that (his younper peneration has no dlusions about ideals. they just) practice lerroaristm.” The new breed af violence was demonstrated ina recent inciden! tn Brilliant, a predgmunantly = Doaukhabor communily. A gang of youths in their 20s dragged u carelaker out af a home before setting it ablaze, he said. Koachin said they picked the home because it belonged to Anna Petrova Markova, an aclive union member und the daughter of a Doukabour founder, The RCMP has supplied the union with the names of 12 members whose lives and homes are ona list of future victims, he said. The union has also received direct threats. Unehecked, he said, the terrorists could initiate a new wave of destruction reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s when a West Kootenay Power and Light Co. power line was bombed and numerous homes destroyed. RCMP are frustrated by the‘apparent inability of the courts to deal with the an- going problem, he said. While numerous arrests have been made, almost all defendants have been freed by the courts. Koochin said the appeal to the regional district is a desperate attempt - The district has sent a letter asking the attorney- general ‘to lake immediate action to eliminate acts of terrorism and arson against Sunday and the referendum : ‘ ‘ woman whose home was set €merging group is the most taxpayers in the will be held on Sauday afire following her death in tadical, however, he said.
