Women in China .

Joanne Nakonechny was
the guest speaker at the
‘ regular meeting of the
K’Shian Business and
Professional Women.
Members of her class at the
College came along’ too.
Joanne is the Developer of

Women’s Studies at the,

Northwest Community
College, highly conversant
on her topic “Women in
China".

In 1973 Joanne was one of
30 «university students
across Canada to visit the
Republic of China as guests
of the Chinese government.
In five weeks she went from
the south of China to the
north of China; into schools
at all levels, into factories of
all kinds, into cities and
villages, into hospitals and
homes.

Two of the group could
speak Chinese, so they,
along with the interpreters
afforded Joanne a real in-
sight into life in China and in
particular the role women
are playing in the new
society. The emphasis since
1949 has been on food,
education of the young and
improvement in the general
life style, despite the fact
that there are within China
11 ethnic groups.

Since 1949 women in China
have been allowed to hold
property, to enter the work

rce in any manner they @

wish or are required, they
are paid at the same level as
the men and still fulfill the
role of motherhood without
penalty.

Everyone women,
children, men, academics
and labourers — works on
the tand producing or
processing food, staple
loods

Many other subjects came
up for discussion, for in-
stance, alcohol, its use and
abuse, drugs, its use and
abuse, family planning and
many others.

- Slides, along with an in- —

depth knowledge of her
subject gave the meeting a
most interesting and in-
formative two hours,
especially pertaining to
women..... “Women hold up
half the sky":. .

Forty-eight year old John
Yacucha of Transcona,

himself to be a _ most
generous individual, But

Mr. Yacucha was a

Hydro revenues up

B.C. Hydro recovered
during the third quarter of
the current fiscal year from
a loss position of $17.1
million reported at the end
of the second .quarter and
had net income of $45
million on December 31,
1976, At the end of the third
quarter of the previous year
an December 31, 1975, the
loss was $35.9 million.

This information was
included in an interim
report covering the nite
month period from April 1 to
December 31, 1976, issued
by Hydro Chairman R.W.
Bonner.

Mr. Bonner said im-
provement in the financial
results arose from control of
costs and staff levels, a

substantial increase in sales ©

volume and rate increases
for certain classes of
customers.: - i+: .

. He said gross'revenues for ©
the period increased by $110 ~

million over the same period
of the previous year,
reflecting an improvement
in the economy. Expenses
rose by $70 million.

Mr. Bonner pointed out
that B.C. Hydro has been
informed that a subsidy of
$32.6 million will be for-
theoming from the
rovincial government to
elp cover losses in the
public transportation
system. This subsidy and a
similar one received in
March 1976 are not reflected
in the net income figures for
the period covered by the
report.

Major portion of the in-
crease in gross revenue, $91
million, came from a 27
percent increase in electric
revenues. This included $15
million from export of
surplus power to the United
States, when an available

. market south of the border

coincided with a period of
surplus water in Hydro's

‘favorable -spring and

summer run-offs,

nine percent respectively.
