Mike Tyo is caught in
the middle.

Tyo, an 18-year-old
from Montreal, is out of a
job in Terrace and is
looking for work. Until a
job comes up, however,
or until his first unem-
ployment insurance
cheque comes through he
is just out of luck. He is
ineligible for social
assistance of any kind,

- because of his age.

Tyo came from Mon-

treal in April, and worked

for Granduc Mines and
Johnson. Trucking until
he was released two

weeks ago. Finding no
other work in Stewart, he
applied for UIC and came
to Terrace to obtain
financial aid in order to
keep his rent paid until
the UIC cheques began to
arrive. When he got to
Terrace, though he

in a peculiar situation.

Bessason agreed that people will find houses a less
attractive investment. The rise in the prime lending
rate from 13 to 13 44 per cent means an additional $17
hike in monthly payments for a $50,000 mortgage. He
says it isn't all gloomy though, as “hopefully people
will save some money, which is always good.” —

won't according to Peter Weeks, the accountant at the
