(AP) — The U.S. embassy has told Americans to stay off the streets of Taipel to avoid con- roars with crowds at angry Taiwanese protea President Carter’s decision fo normalize U.S. relations with mainland China. Two U.S.. soldiers were slightly injured by thrown objects in scuffles Saturday and some automobiles belonging to Anjiericans were damaged, an embassy spokesman reported Sunday. Late Sunday, about 1,000 Taiwanese demonstrated outside the embassy, but no violence was reported. A district just outside Taipel where many Americans reside was reported quiet and security patrols are continuing. Chiang Ching-kuo, the Nationalist Chinese president of Tawain, called in his top cabinet ministers AMERICANS WARNED Sunday to make plans in the aftermath of the U.S. de- clsion to sever ties with the | island country and forge new ones with the Communist government in Peking. The Japanese news ser- vice Kyodo, in a dispatch from Peking, quotes a So ee ietions as cl neg ons between Peking and ‘Taipei would start shortly and the island could be reunited with the mainland next year. The dispatch quotes Chen Yi- sung, a member of the National People’s Congress who once represented Taiwan. Chen said his remarks were only his personal views, Kyodo reports. Since the U.S. diplomatic move was announced, the government here hag said repeatedly it will not negotiate with Peking. The embassy spokesman sald the U.S. Armed Forces Radio and Television Net- work stepped up warnings to the approximately 6,000 Americans in Taiwan after crowds massed outside the embassy Saturday, burned the U.S. flag and hurled eggs and stones at guards and the building, . . The spokesman said the U.S. consular and com- ‘munications offices and all American schools will be closed ti today as a precautionary meaaure, Though Washington an- nounced it will soon with- draw its embassy staff of 60 andits military contingent of about 750 from Taiwan, the United States will continue business tles, About 5,000 American civilians live in the country, many of them businessmen. Asecurity ring of 700 to 800 policemen armed only with batons guarded the U.S. Em- bassy area Sunday as the protesters shouted anti- American slogans. About 500 left after a short time and the remainder sang patriotic songs outside the darkened building... ‘ Police had cut down trees along the embassy wall that enabled several demon- strators to climb over the fence Saturday and break two windows. U.S. Marine guards repelled the in- truders with tear gas. No government officials could be reached to com- ment on 4 8 discussions with his ad- visers, but it was understood they focused on stabilizing the economy and continuing trade with the United States, adoption of a. free trading policy and expansion of imports Taiwanese-U,S, trade amounted to more than §6.7 Move to revive reserves made by pilot, novelist OTTAWA (CP) ~- Richard Rohmer, a lawyer and author of best-selling novels, is applying his talents to reviving the military reserves, . Rohmer, 54, a major- general in the reserve for- ces, says reservists need better military equipment from the government, a better deal from, their private employers and a better public image. So the former fighter pilot is lobbying reporters, regular force officers and anyone who will listen to his ideas for rejuvenating the 20,000-mnan reserve force, Fresh from completing a novel, the precise, erect To- ronto lawyer shared some thoughts about the reserves with reporters here during the weekend: —The regular forces have promised new equipment to the reserves but have been slow to fulfill this pledge. “It ia one of my functions to keep the pressure on to see that it is done.” —Many employers are reluctant to release em- ployees for tours of duty lasting months with the regular forces. He has ideas for solving this ‘significant problem.” ; —The reserves are the forgotten or neglected force Smithers skiers found SMITHERS, B.C. (CP) — Five young skiers were found cold but in good condition Sunday morning after spending the night lost at the Hudson Bay mountain ski resort near this British Columbia central Interior community. RCMP said a search for the group began Saturday . afternoon when they falled to return to the lodge. They had skied off the main run and were found at the bottom of a canyon by ski patrol members. RCMP and resort officials could not name the five, all believed to be from Smithers. W oman killed DAWSON CHEEK, B.C. (CP)--Donna Marie Olivier, 26, of this northeastern British Columbia com- munity, was killed and three other people were injured Saturday in a two-car col- lision at an intersection 19 kilometres west of here, when the military {s con- sidered. They tend to be overlooked by the regular forces and newspapers. Rohmer, who was an "RCAF fighter pilot in the Second World War, became chief advisor on reserves to the chief of defence staff last January. . The reserves are getting better treatment now, said Rohmer, ee eT. vs “This ‘Thiltister (Barney Danson) and this chief of defence staff (Admiral Robert Falls) are committed to our being properly equipped.” Danson devoted his entire speech to the annual con- ference of defence associations last January on plans to improve the reserves, particularly the equipment-starved militia, the land force, And the defence minister said in a recent interview he considers improving the reserves one of his main catecasesstatinetetatetatt MS said, to develop “a broader base of people who have a fa -miliarity with and un- derstand what the military is about so they could be mobilized in case of emergency,” “The machinery is golng— 1 think it is being done in good faith,” Rohmer said. “But I'm anxious to see results,” —~ If you give a young recruit “a military radio that is older than he is, he loses interest in the force, he said. The recruit would believe the government wasn't interest in the reserves. “To me equipment is the bottom fine, If you put together a force, you have to equip it.” The militia has been prom- ised 100 of the 350 armored feneral purpose vehicles being built for the Canadian armed forces. A few have been delivered for training the regular forces but so far none have been turned over to the reserves, — elena Poss ep nH Not listed ita our B. .

One of the problems is convincing employers to allow trained employees to leave for tours of duty lasting up to six months with regular forces in the Middle East, Europe and Canada, Rohmer suggested that employers be allowed to deduct the cost of the em- ployee’s salary from cor- porate taxes, Salary costs are a major obstacle. The government could work out contracts with employers along these lines, he said. “It is a no-cost carrot,”” The reserve force could supply 30 per cent of its manpower in am emergency, well-enongh trained for regular duty, Rohmer said, Despite the force's image problems, interest is high among young Canadians, he said. There are more appli- cations now than there were a few years ago. ooRARASS SES SSSRISSISiana iar teseemesen toner ntataletecnse a aces eo J q | Were : is e / d | Liste | Here! z = Quick-Silver Delivery - 638-8387 4 % ‘Aurora Animal Hospital - 635-2040 if you wish your Business = % Dinl-An-Order - 632-3883 Phone listed for your z = Terrace Veterinary Centre - 635-3300 customers & Oli'a Place - 798-2231 { il . st ‘ Pets Beantiful - 635-9251 please Ca : Terrace Dog Grooming - 638-1720 e Kermode Kleaners - 635-0208 a = : Eastelde Groceries - 635-2104 : : Free - for ONE month courtesy of THE : : DAILY HERALD : eces neLaaeSeeaedeasistencaseteseticecoteretvoeteeesstrsetelwsetaten teteteteteteteneteteaes ene geste U.S. move angers Taiwanese billion from January to November this year.

STUDY SHOWS Cancer on. increase VICTORIA (CP) — Lip, skin and lung cancers are among the cancers in- creasing most rapidly in British Columbia, the first analysis of cancer trends in the province shows, The study, conducted by two cancer researchers between 1970 and 1974, shows lip cancer rose 157 per cent among males and 97 per cent among females, where it occurs less frequently, Dr. Mark Elwood of the Cancer Control Agency of B.C, and Richard Gallagher, former research officer of the B.C. Cancer Register, said lung cancer has risen 40 per cent in women primarily under 65 years of age—and dropped by three per cent in men The increased incidence in women, they said, is at- tributable to more smoking in that group. They said lung camer was ninth among 14 major cancer sites in women in 1973 but has now moved up to third place behind breast and large bowel cancer. Those two cancers changed slightly during the survey period, the report said, with breast cancer increasing by four per cent and bowel cancers dropping by five per cent. Cancerous skin tumors or moles have increased sig- nificantly in both sexes, the . report said. The diseases rose by 107 per cent in men between 45 and 64 years of age, 71 per cent in the male group between 15 and 44 and among females by 19 per cent. Cervical cancers have dropped by 23 per cent while uterine cancers have risen by the same percentage. Cancer of the testes has risen by 37 per cent but prostrate cancers appear to be stable. Liver cancers dropped by 23 per cent, and brain cancers by 18 per cent in men and 22 per cent in women. The two researchers sug- gested that their results, published in the December issue of B.C. Medical Journal, should be viewed with caution, While they believe their system for gathering information on cancers is fairly complete, some type of cancers, such as leukemias, might be under reported. While the study’s five-year span is relatively short with only rapid changes being detectable, they said, their figures are generally sup- ported by surveys conducted elsewhere. Steady increases of lung and unterine cancer in women are typical with smoking and the use of estrogens cited as primary factors. However, the increasing incidence of hysterectomies, the removal of the womb, might disguise the true figures for uterine cancer, they said. Although the B.C. figures for skin cancers were similar to those from other cancer registeries, the sharper increases in lip cancer have not been re- ported elsewhere, they said. Further studies and time might clarify this trend. Last call for WHITE PAGE LI Kitimat-Terrace ana Area Directory HERE'S YOUR LAST CHANCE TO CHECK YOUR LISTING FOR THE NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY!
