When asked why the .05 level was chosen, the minister said there's a lot of research done on this,” and pointed out that . several European countries now have the level set at..01. No record will be kept of 24-hour suspension, he said. Enforcement of the new standard is expected to work in conjunction with the recently. launched program of mobile breath analysis testing units. GRANT APPLICATION Seniors look for drop-in site : Herald staff : New Horizons Golden Agers Club is trying to find a gite where a drop-in centre ‘or. senior citizens could be built. : Secretary of the.club Mrs. Y.E. Hampton sald there.is currently no such facility available in town where not énly old age pensioners but all senior citizens can meet. : “There’s no place for gider people to go,” she said. : The club members recently made application to the federal government for a Canada Works grant for construction funds and approached Terrace council for help in finding a site. . The pensioners would like a “fairly central” site, and have suggested a corner portion of Lower Little Park for the building. The club did receive a grantfrom the national New Horizons groups earlier this year for rent and equipment for a drop-in centre, but Mrs. Hampton stated the members could not find a suitable building in town which the group could af- ford. ‘BREAKER-BREAKER Men, get ready something to say.

Mike Davidson, chief government negotiator, said Bouncing eggs reclaimed ATLANTA (AP) —-When Johnnie Ann Robertson dropped three eggs from a carton, they bounced, _. “They're shaped just like those plastic Easter eggs, but they're no good in omelets,” Mrs. Robertson SBAlG. Mrs. Robertson checked with Tim Floyd, plant manager of the Savannah Valley Egg Co., which sold the carton of eggs to the AWanta grocer where she got them. Floyd wants the plastic eggs back. They're used as test weights'in the com- pany’s egg sorting machine and are worth $12 each. the offer was ae im- rovement over an mae but declined to elaborate. Davidson said there was a eandid review of the remaing issues, and the next step was to determine how the union likes the offer. John Fryer, BCGEU general-secretary, would not speculate whether the new round of talks would halt threatened strike action but said he was hopeful the new government proposal would form the basis of continuing negotiations. As long as there, nas rogress at the bar Bee there wouldn't be a strike, he said.

Taylor, the commission counsel, in presenting the submission, said Bennett was willing to be cross-examined if necessary, although he would prefer to receive and respond to any questions in writing. 7 Taylor also said Op- position leader Dave Barrett is considering presenting evidence to the royal commission this fall. ‘Barrett was a BCR director when the approvai was given to construct a railcar manufacturing plant at Squamish.
