LEGISLATIVE OBSERVER
From
“lhe

Predd

(CP) British Columbia has
been promised new laws to
curb pollution of land, air and
water,

Resources Minister Ray Wil-
liston told the legislature
Thursday night that new pollu-
tion laws he plans to introduce
during this session will have
teeth in them. They would give
the provincial cabinet wider
powers in this field and would
give the Pollution Control
Board a new policy-making
role.

He said the seven-member
board, now almost purely ad-
ministrative and concerned
only about water pollution in
the southern half of the pro-
vinee, will set standards and
policy for all of British Colum-
bia.

Mr. Williston said pollution
would vary from place to place,
according to population and the
demands of industry, The pol-
lution board would have au-
thority for inspection and pol-
icing.

He said the financing of pol-
lution contro! methods eventu-
ally would come under region-
al districts, which are being set
un for hospital construction fin-
ancing,

The department of health
now does most of the work on
air pollution, the department
of agriculture on soil pollution.

Mr. Williston said there
would be no duplication of ef-
fort under the new setup. The
Polution Control Board simply
would co-ordinate pollution ac-
livity in all three areas of land,
water and air.

He said the cabinet would be
given broader powers to re-
move “unsuspected obstacles”
in the administration of the
Pollution Control Act that
mizht crap up between sittings
of the legislature.

Mr. Williston said the pollu-
tion board would become a

VICTORIA: (CP}: — Don:

Smyth, coach of the University
of Victoria volleyball’ team,
probably wouldn't be surprised
if some of his boys showed up

for some practice in leotards. -

The team has embarked on a
trainIng technique designed to
help them dance rings around
their opponents — ballet les-
sons.

The Vikings concentrate on
pirouettes, pas de chats. and
sautes rather than spikes,
blocks and serves.

It all began when ‘Smyth tried
to figure out a way to get his
shorter-than-average' team to
Jump higher,

“My wife Lorraine finally

came through with the idea to
teach them ballet.

“T laughed at first but it is
‘really working. There was a
marked change in the boys just
after three lessons.

“They are becoming ‘more
supple and have better muscle
control.”

Their ballet. teacher, Marie
Maggiora, who is more’ interest-
ed in the team's footwork than
its ability on the court, admits
“they're doing. remarkably
well” -

“They still think it’s a bit
of a lark but they're picking it
up extremely quic

Five team members, Bob Ire:

Derek Reimer, 19; John Phil-
ips, 18; and Bob Graves, 20,
have been named to the Brit-
ish Columbia all-star team
which will compete at the Que-
bee Winter Games in February.

The team is also coach - by

Canadian Volleyball Associa-
tion.

The all-stars are aiming for
wins at Quebec and the Canad-

March so they can represent

can Games in Winnipeg,

‘first court of appeal” against
decisions made by administrat-
ive slaff, but objectors would
still have the right of ° final
appeal to the cabinet.

Pollution control legislation
was introduced in B.C. in 1956.

Mr. Williston said:

“] think that as experience
continues {o accumulate, we
will continue to aller and = cn-

hance «.the««function . of... the
hoard. Great progress has been
made, but greal opportunities
for improvement still exist. We
inlend to press towards achiev-
ing realistic objectives,”

He said there will be penal-
ties against those breaking the
new pollution laws, but he de-
clined io say what these

penalties might be. He said the
government hoped that the
proposed new legislation could
be enforced by persitssion.
