PAGE A2, THE HERALD, Wednesday, April 27, 1977 Terrace District Council briefs Terrace District Council adopted a recommendation from _its Industrial Development and Tourist Promotion Committee that it issue a letter of support to the Terrace Development Corporation to be forwarded to the Ministry of Economic Development with the ap- plication for funding. According to Alderman Vie Jolliffe the costs of the corporation are $27,600 in the first year, $48,600 in the second year and $96,000 in the third year. Vie Jolliffe reported the new Health Centre in Terrace will cost an ad- ditional $60,000 because it will not be built on hospital land. He said it will be basically a_ provincial building and the District of Ferrace will pay $460,000 (20 percent) towards the con- struction costs, Who will ride in the Golden Anniversary parade municipal car this summer will be determined by the voters on June 4. Council decided that the mayor or a ‘council re,resentative will yepresent council in the parade on August 1. = Council decided to support Jona Campagnolo in her ‘efforts to rush the in- ‘Stallation of a fuil in- ‘strument landing system at ‘the Terrace-Kitimat air- “port. . “It is my understanding ‘that the airport is presenily ‘equipped with a flight pat ‘ocalizer on Little Herman ‘Mountain but the airport -would now require the guide ‘slope indicator. Fur- ‘thermore, I am informed ‘that the guide slope in- dicator, which is the second instrument completing the full instrument landing system, has, at one point, been installed at the Terrace Airport on an ex- perimental basis. It was ater removed, but no ex- planations were given for its removal,” she told Otto Lang in a letter dated April 5. - ‘Considering the topography around the Terrace Airport and the curvature of the glide path which is at a three degree angle, along with the frequently difficult weather conditions, it is my feeling that all possible efforts ‘Should be made to install the full 4nstrument landing system just as soon ‘as is humanly possible.” : Following protests by Terrace District Council to Premier Bill Bennett over stoppage in construction of the Dease Lake-BCR rail extension Cyril Shelford, Skeena MLA, has an- nounced plans to move workers from the rail line to the highway construction in the north, Council was disturbed that the province decided, in the face of high unem- ployment, to halt con- struction and adversely affect the livelihood of hundreds of employees and their families. Shelford said the province is very pleased with the highways upgrading an- nouncement however, “even with this money there is stilla vast amount of work that will have to be done solely by the province and it seems to me only logical to transfer the contractors to one of the needed areas rather than pay the money out in court costs.” Council has decided to write to Don Phillips, Economic Development Minister, and support Shelford’s porposal. Phillips said in a letter to the mayor the decision to halt construction was ‘‘not taken lightly but was con- sidered necessary in the face of rapidly escalating costs together with lower than expected resource exploration and develop- ment in the area to be served by the line.” Juanita Hatton of Golden Rule has been refused a grant from Bill Vander - Zalm, Minister of Human Resources, because that ministry has established through the provincial rehabilitation and em- ployment program a job finder for the general area of Terrace and, as such, Golden Rule would represent a publication of this effort; and the scope of Golden Rule extends beyonds services to our clients and therefore is outside the guidelines established for community grant funding as well as for federal cost-sharing. Counci] decided Hatton should not be given a copy of the minister's letter but should be informed of the above facts. Aldermen Sharon Biggs and Bob Cooper, both of whom will be on the Kitimat municipal sea cruise during the May 14 Salvation Army fund raising concert, moved and seconded that the remaining aldermen and the administration participate in the event, Council passed the motion with little protest. CanCel reports ‘reduced profits : Canadian Cellulose has ‘reported first quarter ‘earnings before an ex- ‘traordinary tax credit of ‘$3.4 million or 28 cents per ‘share compared to $4.0 ‘million or 33 cents per share sin the corresponding period ‘of 1976. Net sales were $41 -million compared to $42 imillion. : Net earnings, after the tax ‘credit, were 34.2 million or ‘35 cents per share compared -to $6.5 million or 53 cents per ‘share, : Reporting to shareholders ‘at the company’s annual ‘meeting in Vancouver on ‘April 22, Ronald M. Gross, ‘president and _— chief -executive officer, noted that ‘strengthening lumber prices ‘and the more favourable ‘currency rates were offset ‘by softer pulp markets, ‘production cost increases ‘and extra chemical and ‘related costs resulting from ‘a strike in the chemical ‘supply industry. : We pointed out that due to sthe strike, the kraft mill at ‘Prince Rupert operated 20 ‘days less in the first quarter year. Commenting on currency rates, Gross said all export- oriented industries and companies are benefitting from the downward ad- justment of the Canadian dollar. He cautioned against viewing the current beneficial effect as a guaranteed and continuing benefit. “At best, the favourable exchange rale can only partially offset the significant manufacturing cost increases we are continuing to absorb,’ he said. Gross noted that, due to the forees of the in- ternational marketplace, the company has not been able to increase the price of bleached kraft pulp since the end of 1974. Commenting on _ the outlook for the rest of the year, Gross said the com- pany expects pulp markets ta remain static until sometime in the second half when demand should im- prove. Lumber demand is expected to continue firm. ithan in the same peried last MOORAGE RENEWAL CONTRACTS Moocrage at the MK Bay Marina expires on - April 30, 1977.

Women's s Following the first year of Women’s Studies in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, Joanne Nakonechny, who instructs the course at Northwest Community College, says there is a lack of knowledge on what women’s studies are. She said much of this year has been spent getting acquainted with the nor- thwest region and she has discovered there is a dif- ferent need in each com- munity. Between now and Sep- tember Nakonechny will work out the areas the studies program will be taught in and determine how the program will be taught, according to the needs of each community. She is presently looking at full time courses in Smithers, Hazelton and Terrace with a part time vows | Joanne Nakonechny course on the Queen Charlotte islands. Although she has been involved in other courses this year, like Sociology 100 Local labour views inflation controls Now that the Anti- Inflation Board’s con game is drawing to a close the Kitimat-Terrace Labour Council is reflecting on what this. measure has ac- complished. Wages have been con- trolled and will by the structure of collective bargaining and expected decontrols continue. for some time to come. Prices as predicted by labour at the inception of the controls have skyrocketed with no regards to per- centage increases in the public as well as the private sector. Postal rates increased 20 percent, automobile and ferry rates 200 to 300 per- cent, hospital care also increased over 100 percent. Gasoline prices are soaring, Coffee had a 300 percent increase. Air fares in- creased three times during this controlled period. Sales tax’ increased from 5 per cent to seven percent, a 40 we Med percent jump, personal income taxes were in- creased while corporations enjoyed a decrease. These and many other injustices leave no doubt that the “controls” were nothing more than the federal government’s disasterous attempt to save a corrupt capitalistic system, wilfully creating unemployment and - at- tempting union busting. lf all this bad news compels you to lay down and die, bear in mind that you can’t afford it, as a simple grave marker in the month of March increased from $243 to $298, well in excess of the six percent guidelines, especially considering the price of the metal used for the marker has decreased, Therefore do not con- template giving up.

It is basically a sociological perspective of women and its focus does not exclude other areas. The second women’s course from January to April, 1978 will be a comparison of two cultures; one, Canadian and the other to be determined at a later date. .
