The federal election is on, but were the local organizers for the three major parties prepared for a winter contest? { A check with party organizers showed the only party which was in fighting form was the NDP. But according to the Progressive Conservative Comox-Powell River president; Harry Harris, his party is Quickly organizing itself to defeat NDP incumbent Ray Skelly. And while the Conservatives and NDP are preparing to lock horns in the election battle, it appears the local Liberal establishment was completely caught off guard. A phone call to B.C. Liberal headquarters by the Times proved completely fruitless, as they had no updated contacts for the Comox-Powell River Liberal Association. One local Sechelt Liberal worker, Joe.

Citizens Associksion^ckfid her upon Harrison concerned over SCRD's ORP First reading of the Sunshine Coast Regional District's Official Regional Plan bylaw is scheduled this Thursday, but Director Joe Harrison is already concerned about the implications of such a move. "I'm afraid we will be adoptingjhfc bylaw without it going out to thenpublicfor input," Harrison said. He acknowledged that after first reading it will go to a public hearing, but said it should go to a public meeting first, then to a public hearing. What has Harrison puzzled is the inclusion of the repealing of the Sechelt and Gibsons' Vicinity Plan along with the bylaw. "This was a low priority item and I've never heard of them being tied together before," Harrison said. He added he felt the regional plan was not ready to go to bylaw. "It has too many gaps which have to be filled before it goes to a public hearing," he said. However, SCRD planner Bill Lindsay says he does not expect too much controversy with the new plan. "I don't think it is very controversial, but I guess wo will have to wait and see what the public and board think of it," Lindsay said. Tho planner pointed out the reason they were rescinding the vicinity plan was it was too specific in Sechelt's case. "If we don't rescind it, we feel we are going to have too many plans which would conflict with each other," he said. ."Last Fall we had several complaints from the Village of Sechelt that the Vicinity plan was too specific so it was our intention to be more general in the Off idal Regional plan: "This will allow Sechelt to do what it wants - it will relinquish some of the district's power to the Village and in my opinion that is where it belongs," Lindsay added. The Village of Sechelt found out last summer when it tried to change its Community Plan.to allow Service Industrial in a portion of the Village that it could not proceed because the zoning change conflicted with the SCRD Vicinity Plan. If SCRD rescinds the vicinity plan it will allow the Village to proceed with its plans. , "'���'������:,.=;..���������.. However, Lindsay said he has been working on the plan all Fall and the reason dt was being brought forward at this time was because his department has finished the draft. Lindsay also said the plan would not relinquish SCRD's responsibility in zoning conflicts that have a regional implication. BeauWication for Gibsons The possibility of a new provincial grant to renovate downtown cores has, resulted in the establishment of the Gibsons Landing Beautificatlon Society, At a Gibsons Village Planning committee meeting December 10, the com- mltt*^ agreed to nominate planner Rob E .an to represent council in the society and work with it in formulating policies and developing an approach to the renovation of Lower Gibsons. Gary Puckett, who recently Informed council of the proposed legislation making funds available for renovating downtown Despite rollback - gas still high While Sunshine Coast residents attempted to absorb the shock of an on and off 18 cohtfl increafle per gpUoh of gas, the Times checked into the average price of gas at 10 peninsula gas stations to up-date a February survey. Since February, not only have prices increased, but premium leaded gas hos disappeared, replaced by premium unleaded gas and we now are paying per litre instead of per gallon. The people whoso cars were operating on regular gas were paying 07.0 cents por gallon or 21.00 cents per litre. Today it costs them $1.14 per gallon or 25.18 per litre to fill up at the pumps. Unleaded gas was selling at $1.02 per gallon or 22.47 por litre in February. Today the driver is paying 18.70 cents per gallon more or 20.6 cents per litre. Of 10 service stations surveyed, only four aro selling premium unleaded gas. There are no statistics for February with which to comparo the price of premium unleaded ,** but today those who raw it wn~ paying $1.25 per gallon or 27.53 cental per litre. Prices for premium unleaded gas range from 28.0 centa per litre to 27.9 cents per litre, The consumer can save ap- k proximately 4.5 cents per gallon by filling up at the Secholt Shell service station or '2.2 cents per gallon at the Edgewater Auto Service (Esso) in Gibsons, A gas station in, Vancouver, chosen randomly, is charging 22.4 cents per litre for regular (fl.02 per gallon) and 23.4 cents per litre for unleaded ($1.00 per gallon). Merry Christmas, everybody. cores, recommended a design concept freeze for all properties bounded by Marine Drive. . ' These Include properties from Jack's Lane through Gower Point Rd. to Winn Rd. The society's immediate concern Is development taking place before a development theme for the area Is decided. Puckett gave the planning committee a number of suggestions on how the grant could be used. These included; erecting a "Welcome to Old Gibsons Landing" pole; building a' mixture ot boardwalks from brick to board; considering the acquisition of fhe Langdale Queen to act as breakwater protection to the north face of tho federal wharf; installing a gate and warning beacons at the federal wharf approach which would be used when fuel carr|ers are unloading. Also suggested was changing to underground wiring and erecting ornamental light standards; relocating tho Chamber of Commerce kiosk to Pioneer Park and upgrading the park landscaping, reopening the washrooms and Installing a new flag polo with flag and more. Proposed SCRD enquiry losing steam It appears the Sunshine Coast Regional District's enquiry into the 500 kv B.C. Hydro line la running out of energy. "'" With other a month gone by since tho Invitations were sent out to attend the meeting, there have been no firm commitments from anyone who was asked to attend. And according to Director Joe Harrison, they havo received one refusal from Norman Glsh ot the B.C. Energy Qmmmmr~"~~~~ ������ - m- "We might have to explore Section 182 where the real meat Is (section 182 of tho municipal act allows SCRD to subpoena witnesses)," Harrison said. ''It la beginning to look as if there Isn't \ any enthusiasm for those Invited to como on their own. Any voluntary attendance seems doubtful." Harrison, said the problem with Invoking Section 182 Is a financial one, but added If the board does not go through with a successful enquiry It would be tho public which "would suffer," SCRD had Invited tho Ministers of Energy, Environment, Hydro Chairman Robert Bonner, aa well ns uereral ��there to tho enquiry^,. ..,.���,��� .*���.,...���.,......,�����, Meanwhile, tho Environment and Land Use committee is set to go ahead with Its public meeting at Madeira Park on January 10. The Christmas season s~a time for partying and unfortunately, for some party-goers that "one for the road" is still a way of, life. Gibsons RCMP staff-sergeant D.N. McDermid told the Times last week the detachment will be increasing its roadside checks of motorists in an effort "to deter those who might have had a few drinks too many." "About all you can do is try to bolster your manpower for the period you expect more drivers and parties ��� on weekends and just prior to Christmas," MCDermid said. , Besides adjusting shifts to have more officers working at peak times in the evening, auxiliary policemen will be out in force. "I don't think there is anything new to be said about drinking and driving, nothing that hasn't been said before," McDermid said. i "Unfortunately, youhave to keep bringing it up yejur after year." The local RCMP detachments' efforts to deter drinking drivers are assisted by blanket media advertising by the Attorney General's department of its Drinking Driving Counter Attack program and by ICBC. Sechelt St. Sgt. Robert Evans said the Sechelt detachment increased its roadside checks as of last weekend and the Batmobile is in the district this week to further deter drinking and driving. Though there is only a taxi service available for those who need a ride home, McDermid said various organizations are arranging transportation to 7 and from their own Christmas fatnetions to lessen the number of drinking drivers. What can a drinking driver expect if he is stopped? Don't think because it is the joyous season you'll get off lightly with a roadside suspension. 7 - "The situation would indicate whether it warrants a roadside suspension or whether it warrants a criminal charge," McDermid said. "If there are more roadside suspensions given, it's because more vehicles are checked at this time of year." A driver convicted of impaired driving can face a fine of up to $2,000 and-or six months in jail and an automatic three to six month suspension from driving. "I sometimes wonder if those people who needk4the message ever get #he message," McDermid said. / , "They don't seem to realize thaVnofc' only are they likely to cause haftn to themselves, but they are likely to cause harm to others." Skelly opens round with a blast at Clark Comox-Powell River NDP MP Ray Skelly is ready and prepared to fight the upcoming federal election on the issues and expects his party to do even better this time around. Skelly came out shooting at Prime Minister Joe Clark, telling the Times, "this election has been coming for quite a while and while the budget might have been the acute cause for defeating the government it was^ Clark's attitude towards the opposition that really did it." "Because Clark decided to rule us like he had a majority government, he didn't give the opposition a chance - there was no conciliation present," Skelly said. Skelly also predicted tho NDP would do much better this time saying, "Clark wasn't elected the last time around - Trudeau was thrown out. That hurt us, but this time it should be different." He expects the NDP to hold onto the seats they got last time and pick up a few more, particularly in Ontario. Skelly added the NDP and Liberals, by defeating the government, saved Canadians $400 million in gas tax alone for next year. Who does he think his opponents will be this time around? "Al Lazerte has had two shots at it for the Conservatives and I wouldn't expect him to try a third time, but I would be pleesed to see him back in the race," Skelly said. Skelly, who was on the Sunshine Coast last week, meeting with party workers and setting up election strategy, expects to be back some time this week. Benner, told the Times he phoned the Liberal headquarters to see what could be done, but was told to "hang tight." Comox-Powell River Liberal president Harold Lockwobd's phone number was disconnected, so the Times was unable to get any comment from him. MP Skelly seemed to be in the best shape, having just finished an organizational trip through his riding with MLA Don Lockstead. "We have an excellent organization and a good work force throughout the riding," Skelly said. "We were expecting this to come for some time now and as a result we were ���getting ready." Skelly expects some problems with getting his,people out canvassing during the winter months and says his party will have to depend on the national media in snowbound areas such as the prairies to get its message out. Harris, on the other hand, was caught unaware, but within two days of the election call, his party had two emergency meetings setting up nomination meetings for January in Powell River, Comox and Courtenay. Still, Harris is fairly confident a strong Progressive Conservative candidate could upset Skelly. "We got 17,000 votes last time around ' with Al Lazerte and we feel we can do even better this time around," Harris said. Although Harris said nominations were open to anyone ��� he didn't rule out the possibility of Al Lazerte seeking the nomination for a third time. "The treasurer and myself are going up to speak to Lazerte today (Saturday) to find out what his intentions are," Harris said. However, when the Times contacted Lazerte, he said he would like another try, but his law partners didn't like the idea. "I -haven't made up my mind yet and atthtfughM'tcHfld IftrvEryTrnUCh^to-Tun"- again, my law partners are not very happy about the prospect," Lazerte said. "I guess I will have to sit down and talk it over with them and decide sometime before the nomination meeting." Meanwhile, Harris said he is hoping several people will seek the nomination. He also did not rule out the possibility of a fourth nomination meeting to be held in the Sechelt area, but added the 20 or so card carrying members in Sechelt would have to want it. "Our organization in the Sechelt area isn't that strong, but it is up to the local people in Sechelt to decide whether they want a nomination meeting," Harris said. "Otherwise they will have to make their way up to Powell River on January 11 if they want to pick their candidate." Although Harris was pleased with the number of votes his party got in this riding last May, he did express concern over the small number of Conservative workers In the riding. "400 isn't very many and we will be looking for new members to help out in this coming election," Harris said. Anyone buying a membership up to three days before the nomination meeting can vote; anyone taking out a membership in the party on the nomination day can run. The results of last election In Comox- Powell River were; Skelly 22,178: Lazerte 17,538: Jack Pearsall (Liberal) 9,915 and Communist candidate Slg Pederson with 313.

It was the third time this year that the office has been broken into and approximately $300 worth of equipment was stolen this time around which is not all that amusing. Koch new Chamber Pres. ' Bud Koch, owner of Sunshine Motors was acclaimed president of the Sechelt, and District Chamber of Commerce, V while Homer Glass will remain on as vice- president. Koch did not take long to show he meant business this year, as he outlined to the general meeting several proposals which he hoped Would help out the tourist industry on the Coast. Leading the list was a "Bed and Breakfast" program modelled after the British system. Koch described this as adding a new dimension to the Sechelt tourist area and added that he did not think it would hurt the present commercial accommodation establishment. "What better way for a tourist to get to know what the people on the Sechelt Peninsula are really like than to stay the night in our homes," Koch pointed out. Although details of the program have not been worked out, Koch expects the Chamber run tourist bureau to take listings of residents who would be willing to rent out a bed and serve breakfast to tourists at a set fee. These listings, wotdd thembe made availablg^o^ourists. "this would-give"9ie local residents a chah��\ to make some extra money as weft^nKoch added. In other commerce business, the chamber reported a very successful car raffle vtfhicn brought their total revenue above the jfeiOOO mark. The Chamber also decided to write a letter to the Motor, Carriers Commission saying taxi serviqe on the Coast was inadequate, but it was not prepared to support any one of the current applications for licenses. A request for a donation by the Elves Club was turned down by the chamber because it was not its policy to give out donations. Directors for the upcoming year were also picked. These include: Stan Anderson, Jim Downs, Bill Forman, Bill Wong, Dick Proctor, Peter Bandi, June Bernauer, Jack Hawkins, Cliff Lindsay and Margaret Montgomery. 6 1 1 , .2 5 3 4 4 2 5 9 6 7 7 3 o 12 9 13 10 10 1) a 12 16 13 17 14 II 15 19 16 in 17 20 in 14 19 22 20 24 21 26 22 '19 23 27 24 21 75 26 30 27 ,29 2H ~7T ..��� JO PopMu��lk Heartache Tonight .

The fact that Brian is mistaken for the Messiah is not an uncommon occurrence for the film's time period. People were constantly finding new candidates for the predicted Messiah, so it seems perfectly natural that a fanatic mob would latch on to Brian as the One.

When Briaii'is discovered writing anti- Roman graffiti on walls, the Roman soldiers are more upse by his incorrectly conjugated Latin verbs than by his anti- Roman sentiments.

They are presently working on six new scripts for future shows, as well as details for a Beachcomber Feature film. Their success comes out of their unique ability to work as a team, Mark said,
The most satisfying time in the writing process is the initial rush when we start getting ideas, often using our own dialogue as a catalyst.
In those days I was a young leading man but I got too fat for that and decided it was time for me to get out It was either that or starve myself I
I think if you want to be an actor4 you really have to dedicate yourself to it, physically as well. In acting you have to be slim and trim and you have to dress well. You are your product!
Film acting is quite boring. You'spend a lot of time sitting around waiting for them to set up the cameras and the lights, while people poke and prod you, put stuff on your face, comb your hair and put clothes on you. It gets very boring and unfulfilling spending the whole day sitting around looking in the mirror.
. The energy and vitality of Bruno Gerussi made him prime candidate for the leading role. The stage was set and the filming began. Although the show was sparked off by Lynn and Mark's imagination, soon many people became involved. The original comedy adventure series that the Strange's planned changed over the years. Feeling a little disappointed Lynn said,

Do metrics have you stymied? Does your daughter need help with her Math homework and have you forgotten where to put the decimal point? , Or... in a more serious vein, are you someone who left school when you were fifteen or so because the lure of the adult world and the big bucks you thought were, there was too strong to resist? And did you perhaps find out after a while that having left school was not such a good idea after all, and that now the door to another job (or any job, perhaps) or to a promotion, or to a vocational program is closed to you? Or are you possibly a wife and mother who is looking ahead to the day when her last youngster heads off to school and she will be able to look for a job, but before she does, she wants to complete the high school education she left five or ten or twenty years ago? Or do you^jtfst want to complete your grade 10 or 12 just because you want to have it for its own sake and will thereby feel better about yourself? Whatever category you may fit into, whatever your reasons for having left school in the first place, and whatever reasons you may have for wanting to complete your high school education, Capilano College's BTSD program is something that should merit your consideration; it does provide an opportunity to pick up where you left off and.to complete some unfinished business. But perhaps, like many other people, you may be hesitant about embarking on a
course. Like many of the College's present or former students, the idea of tackling a Grade 10 or 11 or 12 program fills you with apprehension. Like them you may be thinking
As often as not, there was one particular subject that made life miserable in Grade 8 or 9 or 10, and as often as not, that subject was Mathematics. All of the foregoing may be true to a certain extent, but, by and large, those students involved in the program have found, to their surprise and satisfaction, that they had learned far more than they gave themselves credit for, that they had forgotten far less than they thought they had, and that they could cope more than adequately with all the materials presented. Their initial trepidation has given way to complete confidence in dealing with a Mathematics program not too dissimilar from what is currently presented in the secondary school system. Upon entering the ^ifog'ram, .^all- students write a series of inventory tests to determine their level of competence in the four basic arithmetic processes, (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) as they apply to whole numbers, fractions, decimals and per cents. It is here where it is determined just exactly what a student may have forgotten or what she-he may not have adequately grasped in the first instance. Review work in areas of difficulty is assigned and when a student demonstrates that she-he has overcome this difficulty, work in the course proper commences. This initial period of testing and review may last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the gaps in the student's knowledge and also on how much time she-he is able to devote to the program. When the initial surveys are complete, students choose either a Business Math or a Technical Math option, depending primarily on their vocational choice. The Level 2-3 (Grade 10) Math concerns Itself with an introduction to Metrics, Provincial Mathematics Achievement Tests designed by the Ministry of Education. The average length of time required to complete the program is 5 to 6 months; however the time in many cases is much less and if further training or another job is you goal, then these are that much closer. And Capilano College has seven numbers which might be of some help in bringing that goal closer still. They are 885-3814. Dial them. CONSTRUCTION: PAUL JUNTUNEN ... DESIGN by FJORD DESIGN Measurement, Basic Statistics, Basic Geometric Construction, Money Management, Taxation, and a unit on basic Algebra for those who intend pursuing a Technical Math program in Level 4 (Grade 12). . ��� The Level 4 Business Math expands.on the topics covered in the previous level but deals with them in greater depth and complexity. The Technical Math option deals almost entirely with Algebra and Trigonometry; many apprenticeships and trade programs require a knowledge of these two topics. Upon completion of each unit, the student writes a test to determine her-his understanding of the material covered. 80 per cent must be achieved in order to receive a passing grade and be permitted to proceed to the next unit. If this mark is not achieved, further review work is assigned, and the student rewrites that portion of the test. Very rarely is a third attempt necessary and this is not because the tests are easy; they are not.

The Garden Corner All year garden \ By Guy Symonds The idea of an
kind of garden that was mentioned at the close of the last Corner appeals to this gardener because, from all the signs and protents we may find the ordinary business of living just a little bit tougher than it has been for lo these many years. = The growing of a garden that can make ja significant contribvitioaxto the.vfamily, business is as old as man hhnsetf, but in the affluent age its value has dwindled. It was replaced by easily earned money to pay someone else to do the work and so successful and skilful have the producers of food become that the percentage of family income spent on food is less than it has ever been. But in the years ahead this may not work and it will be a wise raiser of a family who plans for it. It just may well be that the growing of food will be very important in'thryears ahead. Now we hear that the National Garden Bureau of America ��� has just released plans for what they term a
garden to show the serious grower of the family vegetable need, how to make the most of his available ground. The plan shows three gardens ��� Spring, Summer and Fall as set forth in the accompanying illustration and it Is inevitable that there be adjustments necessary to meet varying climates and conditions. It is in fact freely admitted that it may not be possible to grow three gardens exactly as laid out ln the plan unless there is a very long and benign growing season. Actually on this stretch of coast we can almost count on having just that. When you can still find swiss chard and seakale fit to eat In December there is not too much to complain about as far as the climate Is concerned. But the Idea is to get the garden planted and producing as early as possible in the Spring, then after a crop is harvested take a look at the plan and see what vegetables could go in next. Hero the gardener will have to exercise judgment to see is be can go straight to a heat loving vegetable and if he has an assurance of a sufficient number of frost free days to bring a crop to maturity. Here too is another snag. Because too early seeding means a disappointing catch, it would seem smart to make use of plastic tunnels of warm ;T caps.io warm theyiewly seeded ground. It opens up a whole train of interesting thought. So you start your Spring with a selection of those vegetables that your family likes, leaving enough space for the regulars like tomatoes that will have to go in before the crop comes out. The story is that if such a plan is followed on even 600 square feet of space, which seems to be average size of the family vegetable plot, you can produce vegetables worth anything between $300 and $600 in value���and all tax free. It will be noted in the plan that there is no attempt to grow cheap and space consuming crops like potatoes. The article from which this information is gleaned appeared in the garden section of the Christian Science Monitor recently. From where this gardener sits the gardener who wants to follow this plan will have to study the seed catalogue to establish the days to maturity of everything he wants to grow so that he may be able to plan for the succeeding crop. Also he is working the land very hard which is excellent farming so long as he makes sure that he replaces what he has taken. The soiling system of dairy farming perfected in Holland called for continuous production on a year round basis but the ground that supplied a crop was immediately nourished with the home produced manure from the cow barns. Its the best kind of perpetual motion. But whatever the limitations, and there are some, growing ones own food to whatever degree, is sound economics, good exercise, and most eminently satisfying.

This was the advice of Federal Environment Minister John Fraser in a speech delivered to the Vancouver Chapter of the Association of Professional Engineers of B.C., Friday at the Hotel Vancouver. The speech which was read in Fraser's absence by Regional Director General of the Ministry, L.A. Bud Smithers, urged Professional Engineers as energy planners to look to compact hydro-electric plants at low-head sites. Fraser said that Canada could count on discovering at least 5,000 of these sites.
recommended'Fraser. The Minister reported that the Federal Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources has been looking at a low-head system called the Staflo system designed in Switzerland. Fraser added that although hydroelectric development is not environmentally flawless it does have some distinct advantages. One advantage is that environmental effects from such development are containable and are not felt 1000 kilometers downstream. Another positive factor is that the low-head option tends to be low cost and on a small scale, which makes it easier on local ecology. Fraser also approached the controversial subject of coal.
The Minister said that this does not mean
but that we now must face the challenge of reducing or removing the environmental costs of using our substantial coal reserve. He added that B.C.

A third field the Federal government is researching is the use of forest, agricultural, and organic wastes (biomass) as an energy source.

The forest industry is the largest industrial consumer of petroleum products in the country.

THEMASAH Ths Islanders believed they were formed from the earth, sired in soil and shaped by the sun's fingers. Their fathers would have stayed on land if they had not been forced to sea by the squat warriors who slaughtered their children as if they were rude weeds. Some who fled never reached the coast, and at the tip of the mainland lived people with traits and tongues of the Islanders. There were two surviving elders who had walked on the earth of the mainland, and only one was strong enough to sail with the sick on their journey to see the Masah, the healer. When the warship sailed, the sick huddled together like cold birds, their brittle frames twigs beside the warriors'' trunks. Some of them would die on the voyage, as quietly as if the breeze stopped to rest, but others would be saved. Talinzar, the prophet, had foretold in a trance how they would be touched by a gentle madman who.could send disease back to darkness. Tamir led the black-sailed ship on the voyage to open sea where there were no channels or islands or tides. Only a line Zor, sailed with Tamir, his memory stale but shaken by every wave, pieces of life spared, found again with the freshness of their birth. They sailed in the light season but even so, the waves scorned the intruders, dragging them from course, and though Tamir saw the stars, he could not follow them. Talinzar waited at the Port of Omano, but the black-sailed ship drifted finally to Carno, a port to the south, the bodies of the sick drained, their senses tapped. The boats of Carno filled the sea and the people in them shouted and wept in tribute. In a dream Talinzar saw the sick raise their arms and knew they had come. By horse he rode to Lampil at the border of the plains and found the Masah. Together the prophets walked through the mountains and when Talinzar fell and his side bled, the Masah sealed the skin with his hands, leaving no scar. As one spirit they walked across the black sands of Carno, and in the rain the Masah healed the sick. Strangely, the name, Masah, did not mean healer. In the healer's language this . Barents whose sons and daughters are allowed to drive the family car under occasional operator conditions, will benefit under the non-discriminatory FAIR Program. Starting January 1, the Under 25 Single Occasional Driver rate group is being phased out completely and adult vehicle owners will no longer have to pay a higher premium. The 54,000 young drivers in this group will be covered by the Principal Operator's insurance, although Occasional Operator limitations still apply. It's one of a series of changes being brought about through the Insurance Corporation's FAIR Program. ��� Fundamental Auto Insurance Rating ��� which now goes into effect on New Year's Day. Starting January 1, the Program will remove Sex and Marital Status as rating factors in Auto insurance and result in a decrease of approximately 30 per cent in the average premium for 215,000 young male vehicle owners. FAIR in 1980 will/dso bring about the first step in a five year pogram to remove geographic location as a rating factor. As a result, premiums will increase in some territories and decrease in others. The Safe Driving Incentive Grant, given to Under 25 Single Male vehicle owners or Principal Operators, will be discontinued because the FAIR Program provides greater benefits. It should be noted the:, Safe Driving Vehicle Discount will still be in effect in 1980.
as a rating factor will take place in 1981 when 55,000 Under 25 females will join the 215,000 young males for reductions in the average premium ranging up to 25 per cent, depending upon which vehicle

^- Pleasure Only, Drive to Work or Business. The only factors considered in determining premiums for Collision coverage will be vehicle use and value. The Safe Driving Vehicle Discount will still be in effect in 1981, but an Accident Premium of $100 a year for three years will be paid by drivers at fault in an accidentia which property damage or bodily injury, is caused to another person. The accident Premium recognizes that the person behind the wheel is responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle, whether or not that person is the owner.
