ISRAELI LEADER

Begin “yearns for peace”

~ PCB-laden soil is returned

VANCOUVER (CP) — An
engineer and a_ biologist
have expressed doubts
about British Columbia
Hydro’s plans to bury soil
contaminated with poly-
chlorinated biphenyls near
the site of the original leak.

Hydro has applied to the
pollution contro] branch for

rmission to bury the soil ~

in a plastic-lined pit inside
the compound at, its
Sheridan Creek capacitor
station, near Williams Lake.

The PCBs originally
leaked from. electricai
capacitors which Hydre had
buried outside the station
some years ago,

Ira Withler,

Path

regional

“LEAK AT SHERIDAN CREEK

director of the Williams
Lake fish and wildlife
branch, said in an interview
Monday that there are bet-
ter methods of getting rid of
PCBs than burying them—
such as burning them—and
Hydro’s plans only mean
that the situation “may
have to surface again.”

“If I were a resident of
McLeese Lake, (near
Sheridan Creek), ¥ wouldn't
be all that happy with
having the soil go back
where it came from,” sald
Withler. '

There was confiderable
putilic controversy when the
eaking capacitors were dug
up last December, but tes'

of food and water failed to
turn up unusual amounts of
the toxic chemical.

Hydro’s plans to moriitor
the burial site only mean.
that the plastic container
would already be leaking by
the time the monitoring
spots PCBs in the
environment, Withler said.

He said he believes the

_ affect of the chemical on the,

environment is similar to
that of DDT—it inhibits
wildlife reproduction by
limiting the survival of
eggs.

of destruction

from prairie twister

ROSA, Man. (CP) —
Residents of this area about
50 miles south of Winnipeg
Tuesday began salvaging
what remained of their
property after a tornado
that killed two people and
seriously injured two others.
- The twister struck the
area about 8 p.m. Monday
night and left widespread
damage behind. Buildings
were destroyed, livestock
lost, utili oles uprooted
and crops flattened by winds
estimated as high as 320
kilometres an hour,

‘ The winds were followed
by heavy rain and hail that
one witness said was ‘‘as big
as chicken eggs.”
Officials have yet to place
an estimate on
and there was no word from
the provincial government
on whether the region near
- Rosa and St. Malo would be
declared a disaster area.
Killed in the tornado were

’ WASHINGTON (AP) —
Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin advised
President Carter on
Tuesday that the Jewish
state intends to guard its na-
tional security but is
committed to a settlement
with its Arab neighbors,

. “We yearn for peace, pray
for peace, and shall do
everything humanly
possible and make all the
Possible endeavors to bring
us to real peace,’ the
visiting Israeli leader said
at a al ceremony on the
grounds of the White House,
- However, Begin, who is
reported. to be carrying a
comprehensive and secret
peace plan with him, added:
“Peace is inseparable from
national security.”

: And he reminded Carter,
whd is pressing Israel for a

threefront withdrawal, that
the Jewish people have
experienced ‘‘physical
annihilation.”

However, Carter added
that ‘although there may be
differences of perspective
and viewpoint” between the
two countries ‘the common
goal of finding a path to
permament peace will
inevitably bind us to-
gether.”

The Begin peace plan is
designed to form a basis for
talks in Geneva in October.

The speculation is that
Begin is suggesting creation
of a semi-autonomous civil
Arab administration on the
west bank of the Jordan
River and also is urging
Carter and his key advisers
to shelve their proposals
that Israel return nearly all
the territory it won in the

The man replies he is

of high prices.

The woman asks for a
cigarette and a match to
light it. An explosion then
rocks the house.

A logo of whistles, horns,
brakes, which appears on all
the TTC commercials, is fol-
lowed by an announcement:
‘Strike back at Peter Loug-
heed—take the TTC.”

Lamont, general manager
of the advertising agency,
said all the radio spots are
humorous attempts to get

ople to ride the TTC and
eave their cars at home.

“We have tried the logical
way of using statistics and
so on and it just doesn’t
work," he said. “This time
we tried something zany,
illogical.”

He said Lougheed’s name
was used as a symbol of
Canadian oll and gasoline
but it was “not a serious
attempt to take a potshat at
