LEGISLATIVE OBSERVER From “lhe

Predd

(CP) British Columbia has been promised new laws to curb pollution of land, air and water,

Resources Minister Ray Wil- liston told the legislature Thursday night that new pollu- tion laws he plans to introduce during this session will have teeth in them. They would give the provincial cabinet wider powers in this field and would give the Pollution Control Board a new policy-making role.

He said the seven-member board, now almost purely ad- ministrative and concerned only about water pollution in the southern half of the pro- vinee, will set standards and policy for all of British Colum- bia.

Mr. Williston said pollution would vary from place to place, according to population and the demands of industry, The pol- lution board would have au- thority for inspection and pol- icing.

He said the financing of pol- lution contro! methods eventu- ally would come under region- al districts, which are being set un for hospital construction fin- ancing,

The department of health now does most of the work on air pollution, the department of agriculture on soil pollution.

Mr. Williston said there would be no duplication of ef- fort under the new setup. The Polution Control Board simply would co-ordinate pollution ac- livity in all three areas of land, water and air.

He said the cabinet would be given broader powers to re- move “unsuspected obstacles” in the administration of the Pollution Control Act that mizht crap up between sittings of the legislature.

Mr. Williston said the pollu- tion board would become a

VICTORIA: (CP}: — Don:

Smyth, coach of the University of Victoria volleyball’ team, probably wouldn't be surprised if some of his boys showed up

for some practice in leotards. -

The team has embarked on a trainIng technique designed to help them dance rings around their opponents — ballet les- sons.

The Vikings concentrate on pirouettes, pas de chats. and sautes rather than spikes, blocks and serves.

It all began when ‘Smyth tried to figure out a way to get his shorter-than-average' team to Jump higher,

“My wife Lorraine finally

came through with the idea to teach them ballet.

“T laughed at first but it is ‘really working. There was a marked change in the boys just after three lessons.

“They are becoming ‘more supple and have better muscle control.”

Their ballet. teacher, Marie Maggiora, who is more’ interest- ed in the team's footwork than its ability on the court, admits “they're doing. remarkably well” -

“They still think it’s a bit of a lark but they're picking it up extremely quic

Mr. Williston said:

hance «.the««function . of... the hoard. Great progress has been made, but greal opportunities for improvement still exist. We inlend to press towards achiev- ing realistic objectives,”

He said there will be penal- ties against those breaking the new pollution laws, but he de- clined io say what these

penalties might be. He said the government hoped that the proposed new legislation could be enforced by persitssion.
