That was the concensus opinion of Terrace alderman at Monday evening's meeting of the Terrace district council, By BOB DOUGLAS. OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Clark has discarded his controversial plan to move the Canadian embaasy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, But the explosive issue of a federal law against Arab boycott measures remains to be settled and ambassador- at-large Robert Stanfield is to make a recommendation about that in his final report to Clark, expected early next year, Clark tald the Commons on Monday that he would respect Stanfield's recommendation against moving the embassy until Jerusalem's status is decided in a comprehensive peace settlement, He said the Issue might be reopened at that time, Stanfield sald moving the embassy now would prejudge the outcome of Arab-Israeli talks on the status of Jerusalem and could hurt Mideast peace ef- - forts, The former Conservative Jeader was appointed after fierce ARAB REACTION TO Clark's embassy promise during the federal election campaign. Canadian companies claim they have loat more than $47 million in. Council had been asked Lo sel a tentative starting date for construction by the designers of the new building, Downs and Ar- chambault, Terrace Mayor Dave Maroney and council are anxious to start the project as soon as possible, but the issue must first go to referendum for funding. Arab contracts since the an- nouncement, with business worth more than $1 billion in Jeopardy. Opposition Leader Pierre Trudeau said Canada has paid heavily in loss of business and credibility since Clark's proposal, while Ed Broadbent, leader of the New Democratic Party, said Clark was irresponsibile in making the promise at all. Egyptian Ambassador Hassan Fahmy said he is “happy and satisfied” with the Tory decision to shelve the proposal. . “And Abdallah Abdullah, head of the Palestine section February was: set as the earliest possible date for going to the voters. The new RCMP headquarters will be located racking | the municipal parking lot on Eby Street, a site presently occupied by the public works building, Tne public works building, meanwhile, will be relocated of the Arab Information Centre, aald the decision was courageous but Canada should go furthe® and recognize Palestinian rights and the Palestine Liberation Organization. But Israeli Ambassador Yeshayahu Anug said Clark's ecision was sappointing and that tying the embassy move to tne outcome of the peace process “isn't helpful to the peace process itself,” Arabs countries feel Israel has no right to what was Arab East Jerusalem before the Israelis conquered it in 1987, and Stanfield said at a cost of approximately $500,000 according te Maroney, With the RCMP moving out of their present facilities in the Municipal building, the district will be able to expand its office space. There is no estimate available yet on the cost of the new police station. Clark cans embassy move moving the embassy to Jerusalem ‘‘would appear to them to be implied rec- ognition by Canada of Israel's position on the city,’’ Trudeau suggested _ Stanfield made concessions to the Arabs on Canadian anti-boycott efforts and recognition of the PLO. He said Stanfield’s meeting with a PLO representative during his recent Middle East trip ts “de facto recognition of the PLO by this government” and would have a lasting effect on Canadian relations with Middle East countries, FCC REPORT STATES Not enough TV for WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. television industry has failed to meet its obligations to children and should be required ta set aside minimum amounts of programming for them, the staff of the Federal Commu- nications Commission said By. The staff, in a report Lo the commission, said the in- dustry has not complied with voluntary commission guidelines in effect since 1974 and "is unilkely without further government action to increase voluntarily the amount of educational pro- gramming for children," The report recommended that commercial stations be required lo offer at least 212 hours of programming directed at school-age children and ‘five hours aimed at preschoolers a week, All would be on week- days under the staff proposal, The staff report saw little hope for Improved children's programming on com- finance committee and demanded that Crosble re: lease his department's estimate of the impact of the latest jump in interest rates on the immediate economic outlook. The document showed that @ one-per-cent rise in in- terest rates — such as last week's increase in the Bank of Canada’s trend-setting lending rate — is projected, over a year, to drag the economy down in several ways: ' —The rate of economic growth is one quarter to one half a percentage point slower than otherwise have been; . «=the joblesa rate iri- creases by between one tenth and one quarter of a per- centage point, and; —the level of residential construction activity drops by between three-quarters of A percentage point and 1.5 per cent. “Tt should be remembered that these estimates refer to &@ one-percentage-point in- crease in short-term rates," the minister said, adding that interest rates have gone up by three times this much since the Conservatives came to power. On the opposite side of the ledger, Crosbie said, each interest rate increase results in a drop in the inflation rate of between one and three tenths of a percentage point. The reason for this siight drop in the annual coat-of- living increase is that rising interest rates keep the dollar from sliding on international markets, which saves consumers from steep price increases for imported Raods. "I realize and the government realizes the burdens that high Interest rates place on individuals and on businesses, both large and small, Crosbie tald about 50 MPs from ail four parties, “But these short-term ad- mercial television beyond meeting any mandatory minimum-time requirement, however, and urged the commission to encourage al- ternative program sources such as pay and cable television.

Leonard and Nancy Orr are upset over Municipal Planner John McNairnay's Tejection of thelr requests for subdivision and showed up lo Monday evening's meeting of Terrace district council to ask why, The planning and tran- sportation committee has held up approval of the subdivision, in support of a municipal policy to limit access onto arterial roads. Eby has been designated an arterial highway, s0 the committee and planner are opposed to any plans to front residential lota on Eby. Nancy Orr, one of the co- owners of the lot, says she received a letter of assurance the subdivision proposal would be adopted as far back as 1973. Mr. and Mrs. Orr want to subdivide the property into four lots, and build on three of them. “My feeling ia if council does nol follow up on these plana, what ia the purpose of plans,”’ she queried. “We have been planning for years on this. Consequently, why are you putting up an ob- jection when we are finishing the plan?” . Jack Talstra, the chair- man of the planning and transportation commiltee noted while the intention of subdivision has been for- warded by the property owners, there has not yet been a formal proposal. Talstra added the lots should. face Loen and Walsh rather than Eby. Mrs. Orr disagreed with that recommendation, noting the traffic on Walsh was twice that on Eby, and on numerous occasions, “E had trouble backing out of my own driveway.” She did indicate agreement with the Proposal to front the lots on the two streets. Mayor Dave Maroney noted the decision was that of the planner not of the municipality. . : “We have acted on good. faith and I believe council: should act in good faith,” concluded Mra. Orr. _ The matter was referred to . the committee of the whole: for further discussion. : Council also listened to a presentation from Gerry Dudfus, Duffus was inquiring as to why the municipality ‘was subsidizing the paving of McConnell Avenue to a greater degree than Keith. He also wondered why the paving cost rate was greater for Keith as opposed to McConnell. Terrace Mayor Dave Maroney cited, among other factors, the lapae in time when paving began. “This is a gamble you've Bot to take," he explained and rejected § = Duffus’ arguement that the cost of paving for the two streets should be about the same for the Laxpayers, “Tt'a a whole different ballgame on McConnell as compared to Keith," Maroney said. children programming. Programs and com- merclals aimed at children have been an issue since 1960, More than 100,-000 letters were received by the commission after {t laznched an inquiry in 1971 at the request of the private Boslon-based Action for Children's Television. That inquiry led to the guidelines issued in 1974. Stations were given unlil Jan, 1, 1974, to comply, While the FCC has no means of enforcing the standards, it can take them into account in renewing stations’ licences, a review broadcasters muat submit to every three years.
