Sec ght Wt ett oe ar ee ee ae wena rar ae PAGE Az, THE HERALD, Wednesday, September 22, 1976 Labour disputes cripple B.C. economy § British Columbians will continue to be faced with a high cost of living, high unemployment, so long as their wages continue to be the highest- in North America and the province will continue to be the big loser in the fight between labour and management warned Human Resources Minister Bill Vander Zalm in an address delivered before the Coquitlam Chamber of Commerce last week. This was the second time within a short period that ministers have used Chamber of Commerce meetings to place the blame, at least in part, before the doors of labour. Finance Minister Evan Wolfe did more or less the same in Terrace earlier this month, - ; Vander Zalm said in his speech that International Woodworkers of America members get more than $9 an hour in Terrace while their counterparts in Oregon get $6 and in Georgia #4 for ' the same work. The slump in the province’s economy wili continue said Vander Zalm until B.C. gets back in balance with the rest of North America. He made a comparison in the tourism industry which is also suffering hardships this year by stating that a BRADFORD GEE hotel room in Vancouver costs $38 while in Seattle you can pet the same for $22. Breakfasting costing $3 in Vancouver only costs $1.95 in Seattle he said. The minister warned that hundreds of industries are moving cut of the province into the States and then shipping their products back to B.C. He said ‘that a shipment of lumber arrived in the province from Finland at a lower cost than it could be manufactured here. The province is also buying plywood from the States because it costs less than in Canada. HUSBANDS" TO BE FOUND Minister Vander Zalm noting that the government is paying out eight to ten million doilars a year to support families abandoned by the father said that measures would be taken to make these deserters fork over the money to maintain their families. He will discuss the possibility of creating an inter-provincial cooperation enabling the provinces to catch up with these husbands -and gar- nishee their wages if necessary, The minister said the taxpayer through the government is paying off mortgages on homes through welfare payments to find that the husbands sell these homes at a later dale. m very proud of Skeenaview " Bradford Gee, the new administrator at Skeenaview, says although he was not at first im- pressed with the outside of the buildings he quickly learned of the high level of service being delivered inside Skeenaview. “I’m very proud of Skeenaview,’’ he said, ‘‘and most people in Terrace can be very proud of this place.” The buildings themselves were builtin World War II te “last five years....which says somethi about them.’’ But poor insulation means both loss of heat and ‘up-keep problems, such as quick paint deterioration on e walls, he added. Gee said he was pleased by the response shown by Bill Vander ZaJm, Minister of Human Resources, when he was in Terrace recently. Vander Zalm’s visit was a very positive one, he said. Gee stressed that Skeenaview is a part of the community and it looks to the community for support. Itdoes not have an auxiliary to help it raise money, he said, but money, such as the $78 recently donated by the B.C. Tel employees is Breatly appreciated, Gee is originally from Welland, Ontario and recently moved to Terrace from Duncan where he held a similar position to the one he holds at Skeenaview. His wife, Linda, became a Canadian citizen shortly after they moved to Terrace. tHave’ you séen same of those silly ads lately suggesting that you should pay more than $10.66 for a gallon of Top of the Line paint.

Bob Sterner (right) from Torrance, California mapped out the travel route for the group when it decided to make the trip, in, original motoring style. The group left September 1 and Sterner said he routed it this way because ‘Il knew how beautiful the country was.’ LACK OF FUNDS Family program could end John Stokes, a delegate to the second B.C, Conference on ithe Family to be held in- Richmond from Noyember 1 ‘to 4 said recently the work being done to find solutions to family problems ma have to enc because of lac of government support. * The first family con- ference was held in November 1975 in response to four religious leaders in the province from former Premier Dave Barrett. Bach leader had separately asked Barrelt to initiate a program to seek solutions to broken marriages, broken homes and broken lives which result from the former twa. Stokes said people are still . interested in becoming involved in solving many of the problems that affect today’s family. He added although it is too late for input into.the conference it is never too late to care about the problems. During the last year questionaires On family issues have been circulated throughout the province to get ideas about the future of the family, the stresses that influence the family and what resources are needed to keep families strong. Since their first printing in May the questionaires have already gone through a second printing and these # are now in limited supply. 4 Stokes says he sees a tremendous increase in s response to. the program proposed by the conference. Vandalism Vandals threw a rock through the front window of Fred’s Furniture September 19, damaging a lamp and a gun rack. , REALTY LTD AGENT "GENERAL GROCERY STORE “More response from the north is coming through ali thé time," he said, adding that thenumber of delegates to the conference from the north have doubled since last year. The following is a letter from Mona and Roy Hun- dleby, coordinators of the Greater Victoria Citizens’ Counselling Centre. To Whom It May Concern: We're wriling because we sense that the B.C, Con- ference on the Family will be without any government support at ali, after November 1976. The wor- thwhileness of this program is very evid@nt when we look at the broken marriages, homes and lives that might have been salvaged at an earlier stage, We're wondering if letters to the Premier from all over the provinde should convey to him our concern that this program is worth carrying on — even on a Church- shared reduced budget. Maybe a travelling coor- dinator would be able to visit and help promote the groups and seminars, some of which are’ needing sup- port, assurance and direction.‘ While the cities can count on more resource people and organization, the people in smaller com-- munities seem to know and trust each other more — so that all over the province there seems to be a need to carry on the work of the.. conference.

Despite rigid economy measures, hospitals are unable to manage on less than six percent increase in operating revenue from the povernment in 1976 com- pared with the cost in 1975. A survey shows that belween 17 and 18 million dollars extra wili be required by the hospitals in 1976. This represents about three percent of the total annual operating cost of all hospitals in the province. The Minister accepted that hospitals in British Columbia are less expensive and more efficient than those in most other Canadian provinces. We told him that most hospitals have already carried out stringent economy measures, reducing staff and cutting other costs. No further significant economies can be carried out by the hospitals without serious reduction in the health services available to the citizens of B.C. - The Minister has agreed to meet with — our representatives again in ten days’ time. Earnings and hours Average weckly earnings in Canadian industry at $229,000 in June were up 12.7 percent from $203.13 a year earlier.
