At at two-day meeting at the government's Meech Lake retreat, cabinet ministers discussed a plan to make money available for job- creation programs without increasing the federal deficit by diverting funds from other areas. James Doyle, chairman of the 140,000-member Chamber, told reporters the plan was politically sound but economically flawed because of “the seeming inability of government to cut anywhere other than salaries.” ‘No hurry’ for nuclear wastes WINNIPEG ~ There's no hurry to find out how to get md of nuclear wastes, even though it is piting up in temporary storage al nuclear power plants, a senior scientist with Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. says By the turn of the century, Canadian reactors will have produced about 50,000 tonnes of spent fuel but there is “not a pressing requirement disposal,"”) Dr va Rosinger said Monday Such an amount could be stored in the equivalent of four Otympan sized for swimming pools.

The membership total which stood at about 1,050 prior to the crisis has shrunk to around 670. Of those, about 500 turned out to Sunday’s special meeting and _ the solution to bale out the club was accepted almost unanimously. Jack MHeatherington, a member of the Winter Club board of directors, says the solution required com- promise from the North Shore Community Credit Union, which holds the mortgage.

Park gets new name THE PARK bordering Emerald Park Lodge in North Vancouver City will be split in two to end a conflict over the park's name, City council’s policy committee decided Monday. The City had wanted to rename Emerald Park in honor of City pioneer Alfred St. George Hammersley, but the operator of the neigh- boring Emerald Park Lodge restaurant had objected to the name change. Part of the park will be Hammersley Park, and the other part, directly beside the restaurant, will be known as Emerald Park. Only Alderman Gary Payne voted against the motion. The entire park should be named in Ham- mersiey's honor, he said. Broadwa Surrey/ Delta North Shore Heatherington says the club has cut its costs drastically in various areas and the solution will require 30 hours of input per family each year in helping with the operation of the club. “This has dramatically slashed the overheads,” he says. “We have a bare-bones budget with no frills and we \ 985-5552 hearing loss?
