ACquain ie ie Ae aac Eee Re Vs Cd Pico By Donna Vallieres Despite the formidable opposition of in- cumbent MP Iona Campagnolo in the next federal election, the Progressive Conservative Party in the Skeena riding is confident they can run a winner, MP Benno Friesen, (PC, Surrey-White Rock) was spreading this optimistic message while visiting Terrace last Friday. During an interview with The Herald, Friesen was asked whether he thought it would be dif- ficult to come up with a strong enough candidate to compete against Campagnolo in the predicted fall elections. a, “T don’t read it that way,” he replied, stating one of the reasons he was in Terrace was to speak with potential PC candidates, Campagnolo has made “some very bad decisions,” the MP said, including her position on Northland Navigation and the 10 cent gas increase, The result of this has been that her “support base has eroded.” —_- a Friesen was in Terrace following a ‘visit to Prince ‘Rupert. In‘ both towns. he tried to “get “Too ‘many long distance diagnoses and © solutions are being made right now,” he said. The Skeena Progressive Conservative Party has. an estimated 200: members in the federal riding. _ But we're finding it isn’t the paid-up members who make a difference in the election,” Friesen: stated. They make up a core of workers, but once an election is called more people volunteer to work for the party. Some of the election issues a PC candidate in Skeena will address himself. to are federal transport policy, fishing and gun control. Friesen said he believes the federal govern- ment should use existing transportation facilities as well as working toward transportation development. It is of “extreme importance” to increase the volume of railway traffic in the area and also to make full use of port facilities in both Prince Rupert and Kitimat, he said. Friesen was critical of the present govern- - ment’s handling of the Salmonoid Enhancement Program. ; “This program has spawned more government announcements than it has salmon.” he said. While there are some worthwhile enhan- cement programs throughout the province, Friesen questioned’ whether ‘funds from fishermen’s licence fees are going toward the program. . Friesen also criticized the recent government announcement that Class B fishing licences would be extended for another five years. Class A holders, who pay a higher fee, are not going to be too happy with this decision. the MP oad. at Outdoor people in this area are also dissatisfied with the gun legislation, Friesen said, ' ; “Basford and company have been running roughshod over recreation and outdoors people.” with the new legislation, he said, something that the Conservative Party is opposed to. Friesen said he expected there would be little campaigning done during the summer months, but once nominations are called, the political machinery will swing into action.

Pharmacy Conference held at the Peach Bowl Convention Centre in Pen- ticton June 25-28, 1978, Clifford N. Proceviat ‘owner-manager of the Shoppers Drug Mart in Terrace, was elected Chairman of the B.C. Pharmacists Society. The conference, a joint effort of the Society and the College of Phar- macists of B.C. was entitled “Caught in the Middle” and identified the dilema that all pharmacists find themselves in as the member of the health team caught between the physician and patient. The results of the conference outlined guidelines that pharmacists will adhere to to ensure the proper delivery of pharmaceutical services and to ensure patient compliance with respect to drug use. This was in response to the pharmacists, physicians and government concern over the over-utilization of prescribed and non-prescrition drugs. Benno Friesen Says: In his address to the 250 conference delegates, Proceviat challenged pharmacists to come out from behind their dispensaries to meet and consult with their patients; to show the con- sumer that the pharmacist is a dedicated and responsible member of the health delivery team; and to make pharmacy a profession more concerned with people than with products. Proceviat first came to Terrace in 1968 when he opened the Cunningham Drug Store in the Terrace Shopping Centre. Since 1971 he has owned and operated the Shoppers Drug Mart in the same location. His involyement with his profession includes chapter director, Senator for Northern B.C., vice-president of the B.C. Pharmacists Society last year, Regional Coordinator for Pharmacy Continuing Education - and now Chairman of his professional group. ‘it’s Time For A Management Change’ Benno Friesen, Conservative M.P. for Surrey- White Rock was the guest speaker at a public meeting attended by about 20 people - some from out of town on Friday July 21, at the Terrace Hotel. ‘ ‘Some of the topics he spoke on were economics, immigration, Loto Canada, and the Quebec Issue. ..Mr. Friesen feels that under a Conservative : government a measure would be instigated to create permanent tax cuts. Further savings will be made for the Canadian people by the use of “Sunset Laws", Corporations which are no longer of any use to Canada would be phased out, one such example used was the Halifax Disaster Fund which was set up in 1916, when a munitions ship blew up in Halifax Harbour, This cor- poration was phased out in 1975! >. Kn 1968 the cost to the government per per living in Canada was $531.00. In 1978 the cost is $1986.00 per person. The Canadian government has been running at a loss for ten years. A cor- poration whose management has been running the business at a loss for ten years, would assume the time for management change has arrived. ..Mr. Friesen feels that the Quebec Issue is based on an Economic rather than a Cultural problem. . Another issue raised was Immigration. Although there is a need for people to be allowed into the country, it ls important not to give jobs away that can be filled in our own area if we spend the time and money training the people who are already here. ; ..A stress was made on the lack of equity bet- ween East and West Coast transportation sub- sidies. The hardships being faced by the people in our area, due to poor planning, are caused by the lack of alternative sources of transportation when the Northland subsidy was cancelled. .-The meeting adjourned at 10 p.m., when refreshments were served by members of the Terrace Progressive Conservative Women’s Club. Future visits tothis area are being planned by other members of the Conservative party, nutrition-education centres are being built in the heart of drought-devastated areas to serve as distribution points for much needed nourishing food and as centres to train and educate adults and children in good nutrition practices and related programs. The first two centres are already underway. at Breteau and Bon Amy, — Planned to help impoverished villagers in their efforts to work for a better and healthier future, the centres will be staffed by home economists with training also in improved food growing methods, preparation of inexpensive, nourishing foods, and general: health. Villagers are providing the unskilled labor and all possible supplies, mostly sand and gravel. Typical with average annual incomes of $91, and life spans of 47 years. Surveys show 80 percent of the children suffer from malnutrition, so severe it is the direct cause of 10percentofalldeaths. Lions clubs’ funds provide all other material necessary and trained workers to supervise and train villagers = in building _ skills. Ralph Long of Vancouver was district CARE | chairman for the vital self help project. In recognition of their support, award cer- tificates. have_been presented. by.

Operation ‘Pitch-In’ Enters Second Phase Operation Pitch-in is into the sceond phase of its program, concentrating on the clean-up of Highway 16 through Terrace. Tracie LeBlond and Leslie Jenkinson, two summer students hire by the district with a provincial grant, are trying ta interest service clubs in helping clean up the highway. The girls need about 10 to 15 people from each group to work two or three hours on a Saturday in August. “We've gotten 4 poor response so far," the girls. said, “Most clubs simply don't feel they can gel enough members or feel it is not their job."” If any club or group has not been contacted by the. two students, they can reach Tracie LeBlond ar Leslie Jenkinson al the arena at 638-1174. The girls have been busy the past month with the street cleaning aspect of Operation Pitch-in and have got a number of merchants ta look after the sidewalks and areas in front of their businesses.
