Around the province

THE PROCESS of re-
opening B.C.’s pulp mills
continues today as com-'
panies and unions’ work‘:
toward the legislated 72-hour
deadline for getting back to
work.

Legislation introduced
Friday orders the lock-out of
pulp workers lifted and the
mills put back into operation

by Monday.

At the same time, talks
between the pulp companies
and the unions, with medi-
ator Clark Gilmor between
the two, will re-open as the
two sides attempt to reach a
settlement that has so far
eluded them.

Premier Billi Bennett, in
his television address

Thursday night, said that
unless that settlement is
reached, the provincial
government will be forced to
legislate a settlement,
something that neither side
wants.

Both Canadian
Pulpworkers Union presi-
dent Art Gruntman and pulp
company representative Dick

Heinrich disputing
teacher shortage

EDUCATION MINISTER
Jack Heinrich is disputing a
provincial government
report — which he says he
hasn’t seen yet that
predicts there will be a
shortage of teachers in B.C.
within three years.

The report predicts a
shortage of 1,600 elementary
and secondary school
teachers by 1987, increasing
to 1,840 teachers by 1992.

The shortage will come
about because of the so
called ‘‘echo baby boom’’

which has resulted in
creased birth rates
kindergarten enrolment.

“*T find it a little difficult
to accept (the prediction) in
view of the number of
teachers who currently are
unemployed,’’ Heinrich said
this week.

Heinrich also disputed
some of the figures con-
tained in the report, pointing
out that September enrol-
ment in B.C. schools was
478,500 students and not the
497 ,000 used in the study.

The report was prepared

break up Hydro

MLA Jack Davis says B.C.
Hydro has become too large
and should be broken up.
Davis, MLA for North
Vancouver, has called for
Hyrdo to limit its operations

to producing and providing
electricity.

The gas division should be
sold off and the Hydro
railway should be combined
with B.C. Rail, Davis says.

teport might have been
prepared for the education

‘‘It obviously has been
leaked by somebody,’’
Heinnch said of the report.
‘*l am having a look at that
as well to see if we can rely
on those who prepare
reports for us but who, in
their own self-interest, wrsh

Lester saidthat despite the

produced a settlement
