PAGE A2, THE HERALD, Wednesday, April 19, 1977 Report from Victoria by Cyril M. Shelford, MLA There is no question no matter what we do there will be an energy shortage in the future as more and more notions advance and require more energy. Conservation of energy is extremely essential as time goes on. The world couldn't afford another wasteful societ such as us in Nort America. When the environmental concern jumped into the forefront in the early seventies, conservation of energy was pushed to the background in the name of curbing pollution. The auto industry was pushed by environment groups and government to — build pollution control devices on cars with no concern for energy conservation whatsoever, with the result that gas mileage was reduced on many models to as low as ten miles to the’ gallon with pickup trucks even worse. ' According to a professor from the University of Washington who spoke to the Truck Loggers Con- vention, these pollution devices alone accounted for over five billion gallons extra energy being used in the United States alone in one year. This means ten average refineries had to run 365 days in the year just to produce the extra energy to feed the pollution control devices. This is an example Fe panic in trying to do something quicker. A realistic policy should have been — no car or light truck would be allowed on the highway that couldn't do 20 miles to the gallon, with each model required to do five miles to the gallon better, along with pollution control devices that would clean up the air but always. without reducing the mileage per gallon. There is no question modern science can do this if required by legislation before new model autos can come on the market. In the past it has been accepted practice that any model car nice regardless of the energy use to move one person from point A to B. I would like to ask the | government to consider the setting of an energy research fund of $100 million a year, 50 percent federal and 50 percent by the 10 provinces, Only the interest should be used each year so that the fund keeps growin to adequately research types of energy. In the past research has been done in years when revenue is plentiful but in years of restraint research funds are cut back. This is true in all forms of research from energy, agriculture, forestry or mining technology and the reason most of our research people have to leave Canada to find steady employment elsewhere. We are fallin behind in research in al flelds which is greatly reducing our ability as a nation to keep up with our competitors in other countries. At this time water power is the only renewable major source of energy, yet faces massive resistance from all environmental and wildlife groups. This is reducing our ability to keep up with our needs. . . Petroleum will be scarce; the only question is when. No government knows for sure how many oil and gas wells have been drilled, then capped, to keep surplus supplies off the market to maintain a high world price. Coal energy use must be considered carefully as it may well be needed to make .gas. Atomic power certainly is a major source if it can be kept for peaceful use, still has many problems for research to solve. Fusion power, wind power, tidal power and solar energy all require major research and are likely 20 years away from major use. I want to urge the government to move now and lead the way in getting the federal government and the provinces to im- mediately set this needed or truck can go on the research program in market as long as it looks mation. “The busy bee has no time for sorrow.” William Blake SERVICES BUSIN: fee FEDERAL = fe MANAGEVENT DEVELOPMENT BANK Government Assistance Programs Information Session For Owners and Managers of Small Businesses If you are the owner or manager of a small business or thinking of becoming one, attend a two hour information session and find out which government assistance program may suit your needs, For further details contact F.B.D.B. 635-4951 Find out, free!

Strike and lockout statistics. Direct time toss from work stoppages due to an lockouts amounted to 10,624,130 man- days in 1976, Labour Canada reported, There were 1,090 stoppages involving 1,582,631‘ workers (whic includes 830,000 workers Involved in the “day. of protest’ on October 14, 1976). In 1975 the corresponding -figures were 1,171 stop- ges, 506,443 workers and 10,908,810 man-days lost. In relation to total estimated working time of non-agricultural paid workers, the time lost in 1976 was equivalent to 50 man-days per 10,000 man- days worked. This ratio is less than in 1975 when it was 63. In December 1976 there were 120 work stoppages involving 45,352 workers and amounting to 258,990 man- days. This is the lowest monthly figure for time lost since early in 1973. The corresponding figures for November 1976 were 129 stoppages, 51,260 workers involved and 491,380 man- days lost. The time lost in December was equivalent to 14 man- days 10,000 man-days worked by non-agricultural paid workers, compared to 28 man-days on the same basis in November 1976 and 64 in December 1975. Three of the 120 stoppages in December were under federal jurisdiction. These involved 399 workers and accounted for 1,100 man- days (or less than one percent of all time lost), Twelve of the work stoppages in effect in December involved 500 or more workers, compared to 16 in Novernber. Seven of these were in manufac- turing, two in consiruction, two in service and one in trade. Together these 12 stoppages accounted for 70 percent of the workers in- yolved and 47 percent of the duration in man-lays, a If you include adjacent suburban areas, New York, not Tokyo, is the most populous city in the world, with a population of over 16 miflion. _ RENTAL APARTMENTS Clinton Manor Will Furnish Have your own new, cozy private studio apartment, also 1 bedroom.
