Home Is What Pravda"s Picture Is Grim Of Canada's West Coast By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) -- A Pravda correspondent paints a gener- ally grim picture of the condi- tion of workers and fishermen on Canada's West Coast. V. Ozeroy recently. visited the Pacific coast in the course of a 4,700-mile Canadian tour. In an account occupying nearly one-third of a page in the Communist party news- paper, he writes that the eco- nomic boom in Vancouver "has increased the gap between those who keep power in their hands and those on lower steps of the social staircase."' The monthly rental for an apartment on an unnamed Van- couver bay equals 144 months and even two months salary of a worker, Ozerov writes.

Home is what you make it, according to a_ well-known cliche, but Lewis Mumford, in his book, 'The City in History," says that even in the crudest neolithic village "'the house was always more than mere shel- ter for the physical body. It was the meeting place of a house- hold. Tis hearth was a centre of religious ceremony as well as an aid to cooking. It was the home of the household god and the locus of a family's being, a repository of moral values not measureable in money."

FIRST: - Read This Message! If you shoot the bear yourself, you still have to pay the same amount and, on top of this, you have to skin it and wade through a small mountain of red tape and paperwork. Colin Grant, administration officer for the polar continental shelf project of the mines and technical surveys department, has had to look after reports on dead bears during his three years at the project's Mould Bay rters on Prince Patrick Island. This year he washed his hands of it and issued a direct- ive to the effect that any marksman would have to look after his own paperwork. This includes: telegrams to the nearest game warden and nearest RCMP post; a detailed written report on the shooting, explaining how, where and why; and two independent. re- ports from eyewitnesses to the s g. But the former bush pilot, a veteran of Arctic and Antarctic survey projects, hadn't figured on fate -- he was the first to shoot a bear under the new di- rective.

"I fired over his head but he kept coming right at me," creme ao Canadian 8' x 6'6" 8x7' Eskimos are the only persons allowed. to hunt in the game preserve. Survey crew mem- bers can fire only when they're attacked. | There are several bears around the Mould Bay area, 'but in the main, if you leave them alone they won't bother you." : But on this particular day a dog apparently aggravated a wandering bear and when the| bear gave chase the dog led him right into the camp. "I heard a commotion," Grant recalled. "I stepped out of a building with a rifle in my) hands to see what was happen- ing and the dog ran right be- tween my legs. "I tried to scare the bear but they don't scare easily so when he came right at me I had to shoot." The paper work is only one stage of the unwilling marks- man's reward. He has to skin the bear--"a good afternoon's, work for two men"--preserve) the skin and take it to the near-| est RCMP post.
