IGHT ..

Banks in Kitimat and
Terrace report ap-
woximately 10 percent of the
BCRIC share applications
have still to be picked up.

The provincial govern-
ment has, a5 a result of the
numbers of persons
throughout the province who
Haye not picked up their
shares, extended the
deadline for both picking up

and purchasing shares until

Saturday, Oct. 4.

Joy Frechette the senior
loans officer at the Royal
Bank in Kitimat estimates
about 106 applications have
yet to be picked up,

“We have put on a phone
campaign but a lot of people
are still away, either
somewhere else in the
frovince or at school," she
sald.

The Bank of Nova Scotia
reports closer to 15 per cent
are tardy in getting their
BCRIC shares,

“Quite a few peaple came
in on Thursday and Friday,
and we're phoning people
just ta remind them,”’ noted
Val Morehouse the bank's
operations officer.

The Toronto Dominion
Bank in Terrace is also
conducting a telephone
campaign. Branch manager
Ken Bessason says there are
masons why almost 200
applications or 10 percent
haven't been retrieved.

“There are people away on-

vacation, others have moved
away or been transferred.
Terrace is a pretty transient
town,” said Bessason,

New BRIC deadline

Ralph Becker, the ad-

ministration manager of the

Bank of Montreal in Kitimat,

noted 150 applications hadn't

been retreived at his branch,

Becker thinks new ways wil?

be found to distribute the
shares even if the new Oct,

deadline passes.

“There will probably be
some sort of recourse,
though next time it might not
be near as easy,’ he said.
The applications include
both free shares and pur-
diased ones.

Howard says
Bennett knew

Premier Bennett must
have known about the fake
letter written to the Victoria
‘Times by a staff member,
according to NDP
houseleader Frank Howard.

"IT just can’t buy that
declaration of innecence,'’
Howard said. ‘I’m sure that
Premier Bennett, for all his
protestations, knew what
was happening,” said
Howard, Howard says the
NDP have no plans to make
an issue out of the letter
writing and don’t plan to
take any sort of action.

“It's an internal matter
some Socreds have been
invelved in. If they want to
have an internal inquiry
that’s their business,” he
said.

Omineca MLA Jack
Kemphtf has stat ed there will
be an investigation into the
matter this week.

Howard says the incident
tarnishes the Premier's
image.

“His attempting to defend

lis and his party’s decisions
ty indiscriminate use of a
tar brush does not add to the
Premier's stature,’ he
concluded.
