DENTAL SCHEME: A spokes-
man for Dental Services of B,C,
has revealed a scheme for dental
service to workmen somewhat
similar to M,S,A, The rates would
be upwards from $3,25 per month
with the sanction of two unions
(unnamed), So to quote, “The
agreement would include diag-
nosis, preventive treatment, (not
fluorides), restoration, filling,
dentures, oral surgery and dis-
eases of the mouth,

ONE VALLEY VIEW: A chap
in the Alberni’s while in conver-
sation about what the Government
should or should not take over
in the essential services, was
overheard to say, “The best thing
the Government could take over
at this point would be the Gov-
ernment,” And that could apply
to either the Federal or Pro-
vincial,

It would exclude gold work,
cosmetic dentistry and ortho-
dontics, The patient would pay
the remaining cost directly to
the dentist, The’ first contract
should be settled within 90days,”
Even the fabulous Mr, Barnum
never thought of such schemes,
of course he was not a member
of the healing services,

It’s interesting to note the lack
of mention in the local rag of
Walter Tickson as an aldermanic
candidate in Nanaimo, and in the
same uninteresting newssheet
there is barely a mention of
George McKnight, candidate for
the same post in Port Alberni.
The date set aside for civic elec-
tions this year could help both
men, Saturday being polling day
will give workingmen and wives
a better opportunity to make the
poll booth, Many residents are
out of town at camps during the
week, Good luck to both men this
Saturday,

FLYING WITH PHIL; While in
Edmonton the little dictator had

a crash with a bus which was

senger cars were not permitted

_ this dubious privilege, After pay-
ing a small’ fine he publicly
stated this could not happen in
HIS Province as no bus would
be allowed to turn left in defer-

CIVIL DEFENCE DILEMMA:
The Co-ordinator is quite con-
cerned that defence sirens have
not had an audible test since they
‘were installed some time ago.
There was a short circuit in one
system which caused an alarm
to be sounded accidentally, but
no one paid any attention; it was
considered by most people to be
a local fire alarm, For the bene-
fit of those who hope to get to a
shelter, the Civil Defence sirens

West Germany can make
nuclear bombs says Pravdi

By PETER TEMPEST
MOSCOW — West German

could produce its own oue

weapons at a moment’s notice, .
Pravda warned last week, All it
needs are “samples of atomic
arms of the latest design, to

which a multi-lateral nuclear .

force will offer access,”

In a long article in the Soviet ~

Communist Party newspaper,
Vladimir Razmerov says indust-
rial concerns which once forged
and equipped Hitler’s war ma-
chine are playing a leading role
in the atomic industry, which is
throughly up-to-date.

First to join an atomic con-
sortium ten years ago were
Krupps, A.F.G., Mann, Siemens
and the successors of 1,G, Far-
ben,

“The West German militarists
are still hesitant openly to pro-
claim their policy of producing
their own nuclear arms, because
this would require an official

review ofthe Paris Agreements,”
says Pravda,

“But they are doing everything
to keep their nuclear industrial
potential at the level of modern
science and technology.”

International agreements, es-
pecially with the U.S., have been
concluded to ensure supplies of
inecessary raw materials, but
West Germany has nevertheless
(continued working its own urani-
‘um deposits,

Pravda points out that France
was able to make its first atom
bomb when it had only four reac-
tors producing fissile material.
West Germany already has 14
research reactors operating,

Pravda, The Federal Govern:
ment is doing everything to he
the atomic industry, with guaran:

The Federal budget for itso
atomic expenditure has increase@
:3,5 times in the past five years
and Government allocation of lan!
for atomic purposes has incre

The original atomic program
adopted in 1956, was radical
revised upward in May 1963, wher
the West German Atomic Ener
Commission approved a fi
year plan “to accelerate the @
vance of nuclear research, nu

industry.”

The first international ca
agreements were signed in 195
between West Germany’s De
and the Atomics Internatio
Division of North American Avia
