“for Mothers’ re

TERRACE: — Between
;. Jan. 24 and Feb. 3 most

local residents will answer
their doors at some point
to discover callers appeal-
ing for donations to help
the disabled.

~The callers will be
volunteer canvassers for
‘the Kinsmen Mothers’
- March, the service club’s
annual funding drive to
provide operating and
capital expense money for
the Kinsmen Rehabilita-
tion Foundation (KRF).
The KRF began more than
30 years ago when the
Kinsmen Clubs of B.C.
banded together to fight
polio, and it has since
broadened out to assist
thousands of British Col-
umbians who are afflicted
by a spectrum of physical
and mental disabilities.

none of the money col-
lected through the tax can
be returned to the forest
companies. Larson said
. stipulations for use of the
tax money are not totally
clear at the present time,
but he said according to
federal trade minister Pat
‘Carney, the provincial
government will be able to
direct the money into
reforestation and retrain-
ing for industry workers
who lose their jobs: as a
consequence of the tax.
Larson said there is alsoa
provision in the agreement
forbidding other govern-
ment agencies to give
relief to forest companies
in the form of tax breaks
and. similar benefits.
Revenue Canada will be
required to file periodic
reports with the U.S.
Customs Service regarding
the volume and value of
products subjected to the
tax.

As a consequence of
having reached the agree-
ment, there will be no fur-
ther investigation of the
Canadian lumber industry
by the U.S. and no further
penalizing legislation will

be permitted in U.S. con--

gressional deliberations.
In return, the Canadian
government has agreed to
drop its action against the
U.S. with the General
Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT).

Derek Hardacker, this
year's Kinsmen chairman
for the Terrace march,
said recently the club ex-
pects about 170 iocal
volunteers to be actively
involved in the effort.
Hardacker pointed out
that being a member of
the Kinsmen organization
is not a requirement for
participation - anyone can
volunteer,

The fund raising target
for B.C, in 1987, he said,
is $1.5 million, compared
to the $1.25 million raised
last year. The money goes
for rehabilitation, patient
care, special equipment
and technical aids, infor-
mation and referral: ser-
vices, public education,
and many other programs
and services aimed at im-:
proving the quality of life

Larson said the most
complex part of im-
plementing the agreement
will come when the pro-
vincial governments at-
tempt to decide how to
structure alternative
measures to the tax. The
agreement. states that
other cost-increasing
measures, such as boost-
ing stumpage rates, can be
substituted for the tax,

- Any such measures, Lar-
son said, will require ap-
proval from the U.S.
government.

‘If there is going to be a
penalty,’’ Larson stated,
‘the industry feels an ex-
port tax is the most
equitable way of going
about it because the tax is
product-specific and
market-specific. Stump-
age increases, however,

are universal — they af- —

fect pulp and paper, and
products going to all
markets,’’ In summarizing
COFI’s position, Larson
said, ‘‘We’re just going to:
have to find a way to live
with it.”

Larson ‘said COFI has
not yet received any in-
dication of the B.C,
government's intentions
with regard to the agree-
ment, Provincial forest
ministers from across
Canada are meeting this
week in Vancouver to
discuss the role of their
ministries in the situation.

for disabled people.

Hardacker indicated
that the KRF offers many
types of help not available

through government med-

ical insurance and . ser-
vices. ‘‘Governments: try
to take care of minimum
needs of the majority:
Minorities and those re-

‘quiring more care and ser-

vices are often better serv-

. ed by community-based

organizations and by peo-
ple who have the will and
concern to. go the extra
mile for others less for-
tunate in their com-
munities,’’ he said.

Aside from its fund
raising function, Har-
dacker observed, the
Mothers’ March by going
often
discovers new people who
can benefit from KRF ser-
vices.
