KMA President Harry Greenhut told The Citizen today Iho association gave the subject "long ;ind eareful study and we feel sure we have suggested regulations which are approved by 85 per cent of the city's merchants, and which will give the public good service at lowest possible cost."

VANCOUVER CB-r-An Indian (VK member of tji.e legislature said today northern tribes are drying Indians throughout llrii-isli Colombia to seek ihc righl io purchase beer and liquor for consumption on reserves.
Frank Gaidar of Ailin said lour \';iss��'. iila^es ih ins uiiii>.li-liioriey have started the hall rolling by sending resolutions to Citizenship Minister Falrcloiifih,

be defined as a shop whose total I existing area docs not exceed 750 square feet. "We consider footage is the only equitable solution in i this case, and that this limit i would permit an adequate num-| her of corner stores to remain open in the city after regular business hours for the public's convenience," Mr, Greenhut said. � That corner stores permitted to remain open under Clause L be allowed to .sell all merchandise they normally sell.
� The alternative to this recommendation would be to apply Municipal Act Section 805, Subsections c and d. This says that if stores which arc allowed to open alter regular shopping hours are not restricted as to size, tliey should be restricted by classifying what stores may remain open and what they may sell after hours.
� That drug stores be permit-led to operate during hours suggested by the Prince George Pharmaceutical Association in a brief to council. And that drug stoics be permitted to sell, during off hours, anything they normally sell, because major retailers in the KMA had no objection to druggists sellling non-prescription items during off hours.
� That building supply houses be permitted to open Wednesday afternoons. "Some members,' Mr. Greenhut said, "thought this should be allowed by special licences .stipulating sales must be made only to ihe roiuii trade, but the majority felt this would constitute a trade curb which we have no desire to suggest."
Another subject being considered is zone trading hours, he said. This is practiced in soine cities, such as New Westminster, where, in a downtown zone, everything is closed at 5:30 p.m. in-cluding corner stores.
KMA considers its recommendations offer "the fairest regulated hours and classifications possible at this time." Mr. Greenhut said. "You can't expect 100 per cent agreement on anything, but 85 per cent is very good and we have i decided to give a little, rather! than to be loo rigid, in order to accommodate the minority."
Proposals allow 47 hours of retailing per week, which is "rea-; sonablc service for the public at I a level where merchants can make Mime money. II we started opening 8,1 hours a week, prices I would go up. because as we start competing for trade in that man-' (Continued on Page 3)
MORE PAY - DALLAMORE
ew Voice Joins
Protest
T h e regional administrator of the soeial welfare department has j o i n e d others throughout the province in their claims that higher pay for social workers would help cure B.C.'s welfare ills,
Verne Dallamore said that while salaries are "immeasurably better than a few years ago" they are still too low to attract the required number of social workers. A Cusiladc of complaints about the province's welfare services luiye been publicized in the press since Miss Huby McKay, former superintendent of child welfare who quit her job in December, strongly criticized the services three weeks ago.
"1 couldn't quarrel with any of the statements I've seen in j the press," said Mr. Dallamore. He said fully-qualified social I workers, with six years' university training, receive only $356" to start and a maximum of $420 i alter five years. Persons on in-service training receive from ?292 to $346.
Social workers here receive an additional $10 special northern living allowance.
Mr. Dallamore said the average caseload for social workers in this region is 359, "close to 100 more than a year ago."
"I would say a social worker who has 50 children under care has a very heavy caseload." he

added. AI Dec. 31, child welfare | whei cases represented 17. per cent of j s,,, the local caseload.
Largest group requiring assistance by the social workers is comprised o[ those applying Cor welfare benefits. They totalled 52 per cent at Dec. 31, I960, exactly double the proportion at the same date four years u^o.
Having university-trained specialists "put into an office simply giving relief doesn't offer much inducement for them to join the department," .Air. Dallamore believes.
However, (here arc now three workers in training handling routine questions, dealing with unemployed employables in the Prince George office.
Increased unemployment during the last year has "seriously curtailed" more important functions of the department, said Mr. Dallamore. "Stresses on family life arc increased by unemployment and we've seen the results of that, particularly in the last year."
I in listed the supervision of children placed in foster homes as being among the services necessarily curtailed through the shortage of social workers and icavy demands of the unemployed,
"The foslcr parents are doing ;i marvellous job," he said, "and we should ^ivc them more assistance, but there's just not the lime."
