On hearing of this lesser value, Food Bank manager Barry Niles said he hopes to discourage exaggerated claims in the future. ple 11 ;~ m w~~~~;~n=~e t~:~t~~: l~gl~~ Sf ~gt w~~~~k o~eo-groceries from the Food Bank on top of their assistance cheques," Niles said in a telephone interview. "Of course we put out just according to what we ~r~~!~t~~nf l~n~r b~~.~ntii~: ::1~~ge is probably He said he will try te discourage use of figures like $20 per bag in the Food Bank's publicity releases. "Instead, we'll try to say what's in the bags, rather than giving a figure." A Crescent reporter on social assistance was inspired to have contents of a bag evaluated after hearing a woman say "I don't know what you people on welfare do with all of your money . You get all of your groceries free from the Food Bank." "Food Bank groceries are a supplement . They aren't meant to sustain the individuals or families receiving them," Niles said. Food Bank staff and advisors include four nutri-tionists, according to Niles. "Right now we're working on improving the nutri-tional · quality of the food, such as putting in a high quality soup mix instead of cans of soup," he said. In evaluating the groceries, prices used were for similar or better quality foods at Woodwards. In the bag were the following. l loaf bread: $1.22; 1/2 doz. medium eggs: . 74; 1 can pears: .95; pork & beans: .95; chili con carne: $1.25; canned peas: .69; 2 pkg. dried noodles: . 70! white rice: $1.10; potatoes: .58; carrot: 25: onion: . 12. On the day the values were checked, 3,000 bags were given out. At $8.55 each, total value of the groceries would be $25,650. Henriette Chabot CRABTREE· CORNERS invites you inside from the out-side. It's a bright spot of colour on a grey cornerv in the Downtown Eastside. CRABTREE is a child care facility and that is exactly the service the people at CRABTREE offer. The available resources extend beyond the child care facility. There is a clothing exchange and showers as well as a large comfortable community room where Clara makes women soup and bannock for lunch on Thursdays between 12 and 2. People are respected here . You can feel i t when you walk in . The first thing you see is a large pillar painted like a mural. There I s a lot of colour at CRABTREE and the children love it. The child care rooms have large windows and are well equipped with a sleeping room and a small 1:-itchen as we·11 as a large playroom. The staff ·ratio to children by law is one to four.

That annot..mcement was made recently by the organization 's Major Bill Merritt in a crescent telephone interview. "Architects have been appointed and the drawings are already being made for the new building," said Major Merritt. He said it is i.Jnix,rtant to the Anny that none of the pro-gramnes now existing be interrupted by the moves . "In our feeding ministry, we' re serving about 700 meals a day. Our 25-bed detoxification centre is filled up and· most of the beds in the 58-bed addiction treatment facility ," the Major said. When the new building goes up on the same site , those progranmes will continue in a location not yet fot..md. "Demolition and construction is likely to take a year ," he said. Part of the ftmding will come from Central MJrtgage and Housing Corporation, according to the Major. In the interview, Major t-~rritt said rurours that the D..m.silll..lir House at Dunsmuir and Richards has been or will be sold are not true. ''We 're keeping the Clmsmuir House," he said.

At that time,fifteen local oolicmen were drinkine at a stag party being held at the Balrooral Hotel. Anne Joseph alleges that the woman was choked and punched by an off-duty police officer,and that native men were lllsulted and punched by the police officers. At that point a brawl broke out.
