occur, Thorpe said: “There
have been a number of
chlorine derailments over
the years and very few have
leaked.” And Schnurstein
commented: “The best
assurance we can give is we
are very very conscious of
the problems that occur if
there is a large release of
chlorine from this plant.
“Our best way of
preventing such things
happening is to design
properly, maintain properly
and upgrade properly and
we are doing our very best (o
do that. How well we are
doing that I don't know.

That is a very subjective
matter.”
He went on “We don't

consider it our function to
advise people how to react

to an accident. We are very
concerned and will lend our
expertise as a contribution
towards a community-wide
plan should a disaster occur.
It is not the function of this

plant to prepare an
emergency plan for the
North Shore.”

He said of evacuation
problems: “There is a
plethora of information

under varying conditions.”
Asked about the complete
absence of specifics as to
how chlomnne could be
expected to react under
different weather con-
ditions, Schnurstein said
“The problem is nol to
define the reaction but the
path it might take under
varying weather conditions.
There has been work done
on some specific instances
but nothing of value where
you can plug in the questions

non-pro

and pull out the answers.”

He added that there had
been no request from the
municipality of North
Vancouver District for help
in planning any evacuation.

And when he was
questioned about
disclaiming tesponsibility for
chlorine shipments” once
they had left the plant by
placing the onus on transit
authorities, he said:

“We're not trying to dodge
responsibility but we don't
have responsibility
transportation.”

He said: “We as a plant
are doing our best to ensure
the packages leaving this
plant” are safe and the
containers meet the relevant
regulations. The only safer
container would be one
which ts 100 per cent in-
fallible - and this is a very
difficult thing to achieve.”

~- Japanese

feminists

are nice men

TOKYO (UPD - The
Women’s Liberation
Movement in Japan is so
misunderstood that
people believe a feminist is a
man who is nice to women, a
leader of the fledgling
women’s rights movement
said Tuesday.

Ikuko Atsumi, an
associate professor at
Aoyama University, said
members of a women's
movement she helped start
in 1977 quickly realized “that
even the word feminism has

been very much = misun-
derstood in Japan”.
“In Japan, a _ feminist

means a man who is kind to
women and seems to un-
derstand women,” she said.

Most people who have
lived in the United States or
Western Europe’ find
women's liberation
movements to be virtually
non-existent in Japan and
Ms. Atsumi admitted she
and her colleagues were not
“very powerful yet”.

“We have been fighting
dual! barriers.”

“One is the wrong
definition of feminist and the
other is this unique cultural
soil in Japan, in which it is
very difficult to produce a
real feminist.
