Cousins slams Iona

"For Skeena MP Tona
Campagnolo to blame the
waste of withdrawal from
' Lotto Select, variously
estimated at up to $37
million, on poor federal-
provincial relations rather
than mismanagement
coupled with bad judgement,
Is an insult to the intelligence
of the Canadian peopie;"'’
savs Rod Cousins, federal
Progressive Conservative
candidate for Skeena,

“This statement, which
she made on CBC radio last
Sunday, ranks with one she
made previously to the effect
that ‘it won't cost the tax-
payers anything’ and
reflecis her apparent belief
that if she can make a

In fact, Cousins says, the
manner in which she handled
the June 9, meeting in
Regina when she advised
provincial representatives
Lotto Select would be
launched in November,
resulted in a personal letter
to Prime Minister Turdeau
by the deputy premier of
B.C. complaining of the

‘cavalier attitude of your

Amnesty running out

Anyone buying firearms,
either privately or com-
mercially, after Jan, 1 must
have a firearms acquisition
certificate fram an RCMP
office, says Sgt. Jack
Broomfield, a Terrace
RCMP officer.

He said that the onus is on
the seller to make sure that
the buyer has an acquisition
certificate. This will help to
insure that the gun owner is
a responsible person, and
with the addition of firearms
registration, if the gun is
stolen and used in a crime
the police will know the full
details about the gun, he
said. A certificate is good for
five years and costs $10,

Broomfield said that the
amnesty program for
firearms is stil] going, but
unofficially. “‘‘We aren't
going to prosecute anyone
whe brings in a firearm. We
suggest they telephone us in
advance so that we know
who they are in case they are
stopped by a policeman on
the way,”’ he said,

He said one handgun was
surrendered for destruction
during the amnesty period.

There were 37 handguns
brought in for updating and —
registration, one semi-
automatic rifle for
destruction, 12 semi-
automatic rifles for
rgeistration, five prohibited
rifles, including a sawed-off
shotgun, for destruction and
one standard rifle with 11
rounds of ammunition for
destruction.

In Kitimat there were 10
handguns, eight rifles and
one prohibited rifle brought
in for registration. There
was one handgun brought in
for destruction.

Almost 49,000 firearms ‘of
all types. were brought in to
police for registration or
disposal across Canada
during amnesty month in
November, according to
Jean-Jacques Blais, solicitor
general.

He said that more than
half that number came in
during the last six days of the
program which caused long
line-ups right up to the last
minutes of amnesty at most
of the major palice stations
in Canada,

"That is precisely the

Choir performed well

‘The Thornhill Elementary
School Mixed Choir sang a
mixture of Christmas songs
and pleces related to the
festive season in the Skeena
Mall on Saturday.

Roy Greening, school
principal, said the choir
drew large crowds who
demanded more songs from
the 63 youngsters, ranging
from Grade 4 to Grade 7.

Thestudents were directed
by Sharon Peters and piano
accompaniest was Monica
Lessard. Terrace Sight and
Sound provided the piano.

Greening said that when

the choir finished its
selections the people who
had stopped to watch the
performance wanted more
and it appeared that they
were staying until there was
more, Peters complied and
several encores were sung,
including “I Wish You A
Merry Christmas” at the
very end,

“Many people remarked
on how colorful the children
looked in their choir
uniforms which were
assembled partly by the
parents of the choir mem-
bers and partly by the
school,” he said.

Craft teacher wanted

Anyone Interested in
teaching courses in arts and
crafts or leading a group in
any sport, fitness program
or general interest program

The recreation depart-
ment in Terrace is in the
process of planning the new
wititer program, “We hope

more programs instructors

situation which prompted
my provincial colleagues
and me to agree that the
courtesies of amnesty, if not
the actual immunity at-
tached to it, would continue
to be extended for the time
being to thase who volun-
tarily step forward to
legalize their firearms, he
said,

While the program con-

tinues informally, firearms .

registrars in the provinces
and territories, as well as at
RCMP headquarters in
Ottawa, are faced with the
task of processing in excess
of 39,000 restricted firearms
tegistration applications and
updates. The normal
monthly average throughout
Canada of new registrations
and transfers is ap-
proximately 7,000 with an
average processing time of
six to elght weeks,

He thanked all the people
who volunteered their
weapons and asked for their
patience while it takes a few
months to catch up on the
tremendous work overload
generated by the amnesty.

Ladies

prefer
paunch

LONDON (AP) — Fat is
fashionable, Almast.

A survey condueted by one
of Britain's biggest shirt
makers, Tern, sayS women
seem to prefer a man wilh
just the slightest suggestion
of a paunch.

Qut, at least as far as
British women are con-
cerned, is the heanpole look.
The survey showed less than
one in five woman polled
went for skinny men,
compared with 34 per cent
who preferred their men to
have a slight suggestion of a
tummy, and 31 per cent who
liked a slight paunch.

“This doesn't mean it’s
fashionable to be fat, but a
minor paunch which is still
under control seems to
appeal to most women, said
Dick Howland, the com-
pany'’s managing director.

“1 think the age of the
beanpole has died for both
men and women, and the
almost emaciated look has
been replaced with a full,
more fashionable shape.”
