RR i CB RH EIR Sh cdl gigi JET Shutdown For GM Is Possible The General Motors of Can- ada Ltd., plant here will likely # [close if the threatened strike against General Motors Corpora tion in the United States takes place Wednesday, Malcolm Smith, president of the 13,000- member Local 222, United Automobile Workers of Amer- ica, warned Thursday night. Company officials today con- firmed Mr. Smith's statement that the plant here would be forced to shut down when sup- | plies of imported parts are ex. hausted. . A company spokesman said today that certain parts in use here have to come from the U.S. and there is no other source for getting parts which are imported from the U.S. GM Corporation. Mr. Smith told a general Local 222 membership meeting Thurs- day night that production of the new models at the GM plant here has just started and the company has had no opportun- ity to build up supplies of ime ported parts. He said the plan may have to close Sept. 11 or 12 if the strike takes place. He said it would be unfortunate if workers found themselves out on the stréet again just after the model: change layoff.

This year, there will be 4-5 kindergarten pupils living east of Grandview street going to school. Kindergarten is held in shifts, so pupils arriving in the morning go home at noon, and those arriving at noon go home when the day is finished. No pro- vision was made to taxi kinder- garten students to and from school at noon. It was decided to continue the arrangement.

As far as the B.C. government is concerned, Peace River power development will go ahead, and, unless Ottawa un- dertake 1t alone, Columbia River power development will go ahead only if B.C. can fi- nance it with money from sale of power in the U.S. This sale would involve only the so-called downstream bene- fits on the Columbia, and Pre- mier Bennett says he doesn't] consider that as export of elec-| trical energy This policy has been read into previous statements by the pre- mier.

The treaty provides for return to B.C. of half the down- stream benefits. The federal government's pol- icy has been to forbid firm ex- port of large-scale amounts of electrical energy and it charges a .03-mill tax on any Canadian electrical energy moved across the U.S. border.
