(CPy — The weather might not. : matter much to some people but it does to Gordon Faye, a ™ retired research scientist, ° More than 20 years before his retirement, as he shovelled . snow from: his Ottawa driveway or shivered througy icy winds on his way.to work, Faye began thinking about what _ kind of climate he wanted to ‘live in when the time came. “I was really. despondent about conditions in Ottawa; hdd said Faye, who used to work with, the Department of . Energy, Mines and Resources. “Ottawa has the coldest winter climate of just about | any civilized area, Even Moscow is warmer. by a degree or lwo in January and February.” + He began gathering weather and climate data and-atter ma: y years devised a. “Seale to compare various Canadian locations. ° Penticton — a lakeside community famoils tor its or- chards, vineyards and tourist spats — topped Faye’s scale - ... Said the cash for his fare could be picked-up from his father ~ in Seattle. But neither his father, nor his brother, nor his as the locale blessed with the best weather in Canada, * Working on the assumption, which he admits might nat be everyone’s ideal, -that a mild, dry and sunny climate is. preferable, his scale takes three factors into consideration: annual average temperature, average annual precipitation , and howrs of bright sunshine. For simplicity’s sake, the scale, or comfort index as Faye calls it, doesn’t consider factors such as wind and humidity. _ Andit gives. equal weight to each of the three factors even _. though some people might be willing to. sacrifice one for: --“- more (or less) of Another: Using weather data from Transport Canada, Faye found ; Penticton and other areas around the South Thompson River and Lake Okanagan had the best weather in Canada,. ‘After Penticton came Kamloops; which is a little cooler and. - a Louch wetter, followed by a third B iC. city, Vietoria, which is cnoler and considerably wetter, ; Lethbridge, Alta., which received a 4.4 rating in the scale _ compared to Penticton’s 0 level, was the first community "- oulside B.C. to make the scale.

The average goverriment _wage_for_all. union. employees, male and female, is $404 a week. The maternity leave will .cost about $2 million a year, less than one-fifth of one per cent of the $1 billion-plus ‘annual wage bill for union _ members, “Labor Minister Russell Ramsay said the award doesn’t raise the question of general paid maternity leave legislation affecting private industry. Richard Johnston, New Democratic Party member of the legislature for the Toronto riding of Scarborough West, sponsored a bill in June calling for pald maternity leave for all women, but the bill failed to get support. ~ “Now that the government workers have it, we'll be back ‘again arguing that everyone else should too,” Johnson said. - The arbitration awards algo calls for four weeks’ vacation after 10 years’ service instead of the current 12, and five weeks olf:after 18 years' service instead of 20.
