We particularly en- joyed the closing com- ments by RCMP Con- stable Pakenham and the competitors appreciated having a judge with such a wide background in public speaking. Judy Francis and Jason Lightening Burns Lake, B.C. have governing harvest- ing of organs from donors? Is Mills Memorial Hospital ‘tapped in” to any dominion-wide or province-wide network for collecting or distributing organs? If a patient died in your hospital and the family wished to donate the organs, are you prepared to do whatever is.required to get those organs to a recipient in time? This has been a con- cern of mine for some - time. Watching the first half of a special report on the subject on a re- cent Journal program “has prompted this urgent letter. One additional ques- tion: Why should I be asked to give my name before the hospital will tell me when the next meeting of the Hospital Board is to be held? Claudette Sandecki Terrace, B.C.

But, there is not much in the Budget to show the way that this will be done. The Budget indicates that recovery is just around the corner. The Budget of 1985 indicated that recovery was just around the corner. The Budget of 1984 indicated that recovery was just around the corner. The Budget of 1983 indicated that recovery was just around the corner. What this province needs is a message of hope, a message that the government can be trusted.

The increased budget for the Ministry of Forests will fund its five- year forest and range. resource program and allow it to meet its objec- tive under a five-year federal-provincial agree- ment to plant 200 million seedlings a year by 1987/88. The Minister said the second year of tax reduc-. tions introduced in the last budget will further provide economic stim- ulus and make more secure the jobs of those working in British Col- umbia. The tax reduc- tion program will be worth almost a billion dollars over three years. ‘*In this, the second year of the program, taxes on business in the Province will decline by more than $350 million from the level that would have prevailed without tax reform,’” Curtis said. The continuing tax relief measures include tax credits to the small business sector, a phase- out of property tax on machinery and equip- ment, a reduction in in- dustrial and commercial school property taxes, a reduction in fuel tax rates, the phase-out of the Corporation Capital Tax, a tax credit to in- vestors in Venture Capital Corporations and a five-year freeze on water rental fees. Curtis said the pro- gram has played a key part in stimulating economic activity, mak- ing the jobs of those working more secure and encouraging growth and job-creation. The new budget, he said, contains additional tax reductions and changes to build on this momentum.
