Vial of life for you

ticipant is asked to fill in his name, address, phone

By DON SCHAFFER
Herald Staff Writer
Many different kinds of medicines come in vials.
Pills, syringes, liquids, all sorts of things. They can all

save your life if used prope:

rly.

The Terrace Fire Department is distributing vials
that can save your life as well, but it isn’t exactly

medicine,

The Vial of Life program is starting all over B.C.
now, and is operated directly by the Ambulance
Employee's Vial of Life Program, supported by the

B.C. Lottery Fund.

The idea behind the program is that if something
happens to you in your home, the ambulance per-
sonnel that come to help will have immediate and easy
access to a brief medical history of the person who has.

been hurt.

The ambulances in Terrace are operated by the fire
department, and this is why they are distributing the

vials.

What comes in the vial is a form in which the par-

Theatre here has problem
with noisy youngsters here

By ED YUDIN
Herald Staff Writer
Moviegoers in Terrace are
becoming increasingly
disenchanted with the noise
and rabble created by some
of the youngsters attending

shows at the Tillicum
Theatre.

However, as theatre
manager Bill ‘Young sees it,
itis a problem not peculiar to
Terrace.

“They have the same

number, sex, age, birthdate, social insurance number
and medica] number. His doctor's name and phone
number are important, as is the line where the par-
ticipant is asked to list any health problems he or she
may be suffering from, ard any medication he or she

may be taking.

This form is placed in the top of the refrigerator in
the kitchen, and a “‘vial of life” decal is placed on the |
door so that the ambulance people who come will know
or at least. have an idea of what the problem is,
thereby saving a lot of time in making a diagnosis at

the hospital.

It costs nothing to join the program, and it is ideally
suited for elderly people, diabetics or people with

heart problems or severe allergies, Captain Bert -

Roseboom of the fire department in Terrace says that
his department supports the program fully.

“We think it’s a very worthwhile program that
might save a few lives," he said. “Besides, what can
you get for nothing these days?”

problems in
Quesnel, Williams Lake and
other towns,” he said. “They
all go to the same school and
know each other and they
don’t really come for the
show ‘ilself.”

‘Just kidding folks’

VANCOUVER (CP) —
George - Mussallem, Social
Credit party whip, said
Tuesday he was joking when
he sald caucus chairman
Jack Kempf will be fired if
he can’t decide what to do
with caucus researcher
Ellen MacKay who is im-
plicated in a political dirty
tricks scandal.

Mussallem said Kempf
and several reporters were
present when he made the
remark In the legislative
bulldings Monday and all
were laughing. _

In the exchange,
Mussallem was quoted as
saying it is up to Kempf to
make a decision on MacKay
and wasn’t made caucus
chairman “just to sit and
waggle his rear end.”

“He’a the caucus chair-
man and if he doesn’t do a
good Job we'll fire him,” the
party whip was quoted as
saying about his fellow MLA,

In further developments in
the dirty tricks affair, con-
tradictions arose on the laaue
of whether MacKay and
fellow researcher Jack Kelly
were reprimanded by their
boss after their taped
statements to a party
seminar of constituency
presidents in Vancouver a

year ago.

Glen Mitchell, now

Education Minister Pat

both of them the following

Canada’s West Coast. .

Andrew Thompson, for-
mer chairman of the Weat
Coaat Oil Ports Inquiry, who

poses increased oil tanker
traffic along the coast, said
the federal regulatory
agency does not have the
jurisdiction to allow Trans
Mountain to go ahead with
its proposal.

The Trans

alternatives advanced to
transport Alaskan oil to
southern markets,

Under the plan, oil would
be shipped by tanker to an oil

- port at Low Point on the U.S,
side of Juan de Fuca Strait.
From there, it would be
moved along pipelines to
Edmonton and into existing
lines to the United States
midwest,

Thompson said the energy
board did not have the
authority to approve the
Trans Mountain proposal
because it cannot rule on
safety of the marine en-
vironment in U.S. waters,

He said if Trans Moun-
tain’s bid was not dismissed,

spoils the show for others.

Young admits the problem
is especially serious on
Friday evenings, and despite
thepresenceof a bouncer, he
has been losing business.

“it's kind of a desperate
situalion,” he told the
Herald." We threw out 15 or
16 kids last weekend alone.”

‘Young says drugs have not
been a major problem since
there is a no smoking sign
but admitted,’'there is
always some lady who lights
up." He also.recounted an
incident where three
youngstera aged 12 or 13
passed out in their theatre
seaig after consuming 8
bottle of gin.

Young blames the
situation on the parents
rather than the kids them-
selves. He says the curfew
laws dictate the youngsters
should not be on the street at
all hours, yet apparently
some parents are indifferent
to the situation. He says
some,parents don’t know or
seem to know or care where
their children are in the
evening.

Qn occasion Young has
called in the RCMP to
supervise the situation. In

one case he wanted to evict a

single youngster from the
theatre, and ag he relates it,
the officer simply evicted the
whole row of youngsters.

The theatre operator
admits that situations like
last weekend when he had to
actually stop the show a
couple of times has got to
stop. He’s contemplating
offering a 10:00 p.m. Friday
evening show starting in the
new year, In which he would
refuse admission to any
youngster not accompanied
by a parent.

B.C. mining
$192 million in taxes last year.

During 1978, the B.C. mining industry paid over $110 million in
taxes to our province, plus more than $69 million in federal
taxes. Mining taxation is also felt at the focal level...with aver
$13 million in municipal taxes paid by the industry last year."
That's a total of aver $192 million, or about $75 for every
British Columbian. As an important source of tax revenues
for our province—and as a large scale job-producer—mining
is a major contributor to the B,C. economy.
