The news this week comes from the Recreation Program area, which is co-ordinated by Sharon Lough. We are presently in the idea finding process for the upcoming winter session of Recreational Programmes, which commence on January 23, 1978. The aim is to provide everyone with the opportunity to choose from a broad variety of recreational activities. We'd appreciate input of ideas from individuals and oups in the Community as to the type of grammes they would like to participate in. We'd welcome proposals for new programmes from e who would like to instruct a course. We'd also like people to suggest programmes they would like to see poli ppening in I the Community because they can identify a need for it. However, we do not intend to conflict with existing programmes; we aim to support em, In regard to Instructors for the programmes, we are looking for persons who have a reasonable amount of D » Plus the energy and leadership qualities which are essential to every successful programme. A potential Instructor doesn't necessarily have to be an expert craftsperson or excellent at a sport for example. A sincere desire to share their craft or sport with others, plus their willingness to give their efforts are the important qualities. We will give the In- structor all the assistance they require in terms of resources or teaching tips. Sharon Lough would like to meet and chat with people in regards to their programme ideas and concerns, and also with those who are keen on sharing their enthusiasm and skills in a particular recreational pursuit by becoming an Instructor. Sharon can be contacted at the Recreation Office or call 638-1177. We are working in co-operation with Frances Long, the Community Education Services Co-ordinator for the School District and Northwest Community College, to put together a joint programme handboo which will promote all of the educational and recreational programmes and services available during the January to April winter session. Registration day for all of the recreational and educational] winter session programmes will occur at the same time and place; January 14th at the Terrace Arena Banquet Room.

In his address, he touched upon many of the serious problems that face residents in this region. Unemployment and the lack of sensible economic plans for development were highlighted. These probiems remain, Mr. Fulton noted, despite the fact that the present MP is a cabinet Minister in the Liberal Government. As evidence of this pointed to the transportation fiasco on the North coast. This proves that a change of representation is necessary. Mr. Fulton’s speech was preceded by meetings designed to establish an election strategy for the next Federal election. Party members expressed great confidence that Skeena will be retumed to the NDP in the next Parliament. If the success of the Saturday meetings and Social is an indication, this prediction should prove to he correct.

The men collected valuables, promising to return in a few days with the valuables multiplied 77 times, But they didn’t come back and police have found many of the goods in pawn shops where they nad been hocked for a third of their value. Police said many of those duped were literate people, including English school teachers. represent a hazard, a teacher says in a brief to Greater Victoria school trustees. David Caddell, a teacher in the nearby Sooke school district whose children attend Greater Victoria schools, told trustees that fire drills are conducted in a cursory manner. . He said that that some children respond by hiding in the school until the alarm is over, then run back to their class- rooms, attempting to find their teacher in the school or searching for brothers and sisters. Others leave the school and go home. Getting the drili out of the way quickly and with & minimum of disruption often is the general aim of the exercise, Caddell said Monday. . Fire department personnel sometimes are made to feel unwelcome in the schools when they make inspections, he added, Caddell recommended holding three or four fire drills in the first part-of the schoo] year, and at least one drill a month after that, with no ad- vance warning, with one or more normal exits blocked, and when students are not in their normal places.

EidonWoolliams (Calgary South), Con- servative justice critic, said the government is dragging in a red herring by saying Conservative MPs are smearing reputation of the RCMP. The Liberals merely wanted to deflect public attention from the issue. NDP Leader Broadbent labelled cabinet reaction to rev- elations of spying, break- ins and theft as “a debasement of Canadian politics.” The fundamental concern should be to protect liberty, not security.
