A4 - Sunday, June 13, 1982 - North Shore News the world outside... By UNITED PRESS CANADA Car slowdowns continue OTTAWA ~-_ Stringent customs inspections of Japanese automobiles at Canadian ports will con- tinue until Japan agrees to Canada’s request for a significant reduction in imports, Commerce Minister Herb Gray says. “I think this is a very sensible step to take,” Gray said, adding that the measures were necessary to relieve some of the pressures on the slumping domestic automobile manufacturing industry. Japanese imports now account for 30 per cent of all automobiles sold in Canada. The federal government wants that level reduced by 10 per cent. Thousands of Japanese imports are sifting in a Vancouver port because Canadian customs of- ficers have initiated a detailed inspection of units, causing delays of those cars reaching the market. Noranda expects 10,000 lay-offs TORONTO - = About 10,000 workers for two of Canada’s largest resource companies will be laid off by January because of the weak market for metals and wood products. Noranda Ltd. expects 9,000 long- and short- term layoffs by the end of 1982, and Falconbridge Ltd. says it will give notices of indefinite layoffs to 1,000 workers in January at its Sudbury, Ont., operations. The layoffs in Sudbury will further ravage the mining town, already struggling under a strike by 10,700 workers at Inco Metals Ltd. Wilham James, presi- dent and chief operating officer of Falconbridge, said the measures were Ltd. president and chief ex- ecutive officer Alfred Powis said that by the end of 1982 “probably well over 20,000 people will have faced some form of layoff.” U.S. troops will stay in Berlin BERLIN President Reagan said’ Friday American troops will stay in Berlin as long as necessary and pledged to propose new measures to the Sovict Union to avert “the catastrophe of a nuclear war”. Winding up his 10-day European tour after a visit to “Checkpoint Charlic” at what he term ed the “bated” Bertin Wall, Reagan said, “! am dctermined to assure our civilization averts the catastrophe of a nuclear war.” Reagan brought his twin messages of military strength and nuclear arms reduction to this divided city, where police — fear ing violence — massed for threatencd anti. nuclear protests.

Alderman Jim Ball backed Lakes, adding: “This bylaw has gone to the point of .... overkill. I'm concerned about fairness to industry but this is too restrictive.” But Alderman Ernie Crist questianed whether in- dustnes such as Canadian Occidental (Hooker Chemicals) are needed im a high density residential community in which risks outweigh industrial benefits. “Chemical industries don’t have to be here.... times do change,” Crist said. Alderman Peter Powell, opposed to the zoning bylaw, remarked: “It eliminates all msks of industrial ac- cidents... by removing the manufacturers.” Despite the veto attempt by Lakes, Ball and Powell, the contentious bylaw passed third reading. It comes before council for final adoption at the next regular meeting.
