keep CBC Radio in-
formed of Kitimat’s
events, thus keeping ali
CBC's audience up to
date on that community,
The two women were’
hired after a search for
journalists or current
affairs specialists who
were interested
reporting their com-
munity’s major events,
and who were keen ito
highlight their com-
munities on CBC Radio.
Pat and Marj attend
almost all of the meetings
in Terrace and Kitimat,
from regular town
council meetings to
Regional Boards and

school board sessions.
They stay in touch with
CFPR on a regular basis
by phone and quite often
are interviewed on
subjects they've
researched for either
“Northwest Morning” or
“Pacific Noon”.

In addition to par-
tleipation by the two
researchers in Terrace
and Kitimat, CBC Radio
is interested in
establishing long-time
eontacts in all the
communities in the
Pacific Northwest.

has an opportunity to
comment on their
community in the way
Marj and Pat do.

‘Although CBC Radio is
net a commercial ven-
ture, it, like all other
private radio stations, is
aware of the audience
size, and Location
Manager Jim Roache is
pleased with the last
ratings.

“Over the past year,
we've gained new
listeners, and with Pat
and -Marj out there
reporting on Terrace and
Kitimat, we'll just be able
to provide a better ser-
vice to our total

audience," says Roache.

‘There's no question
that researchers and
freelancers in each
community will make us
the top radio station. In
fact, we're already
receiving reaction to Pat
and Marj's work...we're
really very happy with
the progress they’re
making, W

Roache urges listeners
to make a note of Pat's
phone number in Terrace
(636-1188) and Marj’s
number in Kjtimat (632-

with one of them any time
about a community event
or news story they think
CEC should know about,

Private hospitals
want rate increase

VANCOUVER (CP) — If
the operators get their way,
an audit of British Colum-
bia’s private hoapitala will
result in increases of up to 40
per cent in what the
government pays for their
servicea,

That’s how much the
private hospitals asked for

year when the govern-
ment was considering in-
creases, said Pat Shields,
president of the B.C.
Association of Private
Hoepitals. What they got last
March was a 10-per-cent
hike, and those rates are to
remain in effect until next

_ March,

“But if the atudy is able to
confirm the cost ex-
penditures within the
hospitals, it's reasonable to
think that the government
would reconsider the rates
Immediately," he said early

today.

The audit, announced
Monday by Health Minister
Bob NeClelland, started
Monday night when
Management consultants
hired to do the study met
with representatives of
Shields’ group and the B.C,
