Shell pulling out of Alsands

TORONTO -_ Shell Canada Ltd. will an- nounce its’ withdrawal

Wednesday from the $14 billion Alsands heavy oil project, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Tuesday.

Shell spokesman Lyn Hamilton would neither confirm nor deny the CBC report that the company would = an- nounce the withdrawal at its annual meeting at Toronto's Harbour Castle Hilton Hotel Wednesday.

Meanwhile another unconfirmed report said

federal Energy Minister

Marc Lalonde and_ his Alberta counterpart Mervin Leitch met

Monday at the hotel to discuss some way to keep the faltering project together.

The report said the two ministers were expected to meet representatives of Shell and Gulf Canada Ltd., the two remaining private investors in the project. In February five Private investors, representing 50 per cent of the consortium, withdrew, citing the need for tax and royalty relief.

Fleet poised to strike

Britain reimposed a news blackout Tuesday on its South Atlantic war fleet. whose commander said was poised to strike the Falkland Islands. Argentina's ambassador to the OAS charged that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher “wants blood” in the dispute.

“I am not able to give any operational news at all about the task force,” the chief Defense Ministry Spokesman said in London. “But it would be wrong to jump from that to any conclusions

about operational details. At this point there is necessity for silence.”

The spokesman was responding to questions about a report in The Times that a small force of British troops already had landed on the Falklands to find a landing site for the main task force.

The spokesman, asked about the denial by the Defense Miunistry late Monday of The Times story. said it was correct when it was made “but | am not able now to say anything about operations ©

A PRECEDENT - set ting approach to the creation and operation of intermediate care facilities for senior cituzens in Bnush Columbia passes a milestone this Saturday, May 1.

The North Shore In- termediate Care Society - formed by the North Vancouver Kiwanis Club. the Royal Canadian Legion's West Vancouver, North Vancouver and Lynn Valley branches, the Army Navy and Air Force Veterans of North Vancouver and the West Vancouver United Church - plans a_ tree- planting ceremony to mark the start of construction of ther =150-bed Cedarview Lodge in Lynn Valley.

Two of the North Shore's MLA’s - Hon. Jack Davis and Angus Ree have in- dicated they will attend, as will federal government representative Senator Ray Perrault, and officials from

all three North Shore municipalities.

According to Mavis Stanfield, the B.C.

Government's Intermediate Care representative for this area, Cedarview Lodge may be unique in that so many different clubs and societies have banded together to build and operate one large facility to serve the whole North Shore.

“The Netherlands Society and the Bnai Bnth have co operated in creating the Haro Park Lodge in the West End in Vancouver,” she says, “and that has worked very well. We fully expect that this multiple approach will be equally successful. The member groups all have

good track records in previous projects they have undertaken.”

Legionnaire Jack Mc- Millan, publicity chairman for the NSIC Society, says a tree-planting event was chosen to symbolize commencement of con- struction because it typifies what is happening.

“It, too, will provide shelter. shade and protection for those who are drawn to it.”

The bulk of the financing for the project will come through an $8.5 million loan from the Central Mortgage & Housing Corporation, with repayment guaranteed by the provincial government. This covers the costs to completion of the building, but the society is faced with raising some $200,000 from the community to provide furnishings. With assistance from the sponsoring clubs, the group plans a major fund-raising appeal this summer, and will start a membership drive shortly.

All interested residents are invited to attend the ceremonies this Saturday. A band concert is planned for 1:30 p.m. with the tree- planting to follow. Location is at the site of Cedarview

Lodge. 1200 Cedar Village Close, adjacent to 19th Street and Mountain

Highway in Lynn Valley.
