Brown still talking on VRB closure move VICTORIA (CP) — Op- position MLA Rosemar Brown, saying she still believes in miracles, Tuesday continued her filibuster to save the Van- ecouver Resources Board (VRB) by speaking for almost four hours in the British Columbia legislature. Brown's extended speech to hold up passage of Bill 65, the Community Resources Boards Amendment Act, 1977, began late Monday for more than half an hour, and lasted Tuesday for more than three hours. “TI still believe in miracles ... and I’m really sorry that the miracle to save the VRer sewur co ecs Board did not materialize,” said Brown (NDP— Van- couver-Burrard), speaking in a soft and deliberate voice, designed ta ease the strain on her vocal chords. On her desk she had a bottle of throat spray. “It’s what all the opera stars use,” said Brown, who has pledged to remain dressed in black throughout her filibuster in respect for the passing of the VRB. The NDP human resources critic said Monday she has enough material to speak for up to 100 hours and plans to do her best to meet that goal. RECITED POETRY During her speech Tuesday, Brown recited poetry and nursery rhymes, read extracts from the works of Franz Kafka, and listed all 76 Vancouver community service organ- izations which have stated their opposition to Human Resources Minister Bill Vander Zalm’s plan to dismantle the VRB.

House rules prohibit the reading of newspapers, except ior members who are reparing speeches.

(CP) — fomplex revenue-sharing rmulas and land-use contracts, alon with garbage dumps and national unity, will be’ topics dis- cussed beginning today at the annual convention of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities.
