(CD-Investigate first and do not move on speculation are the words of caution for those looking for work at the $2 billion British ColUmbig Hydro dam. Nicholas Vincent, hired by the Columbia-Shuswap regional district to watch over the effects of dam construction on the local community, said Friday that "people should investigate and go slow before coming in." He said there is not much point in coming here on speculation. With unemployment in the construction Industry running up to 28 per cent, there are a lot of construction workers out of work.. Of the 600 workers at the site, about five kilometres from Revelstoke, 280 are helping to build an 1,800-foot-long diver YWCA sion tunnel to re-direct the Columbia River's flow during dam construction. The diversion is the projecf 's first major contract, valued at $35 million. It was awarded last winter to Pitts Engineer ing Construction Eastern Ltd. of Toronto and Atlas Construction Ltd. of Montreal. The tunnel, 47 feet in diameter, is scheduled for completion in August, 1978. When the project is finished it will contain a six-unit, 2.7 million kilowatt powerhouse and a chute spillway through which will pour nearly 3,000 gallons of water a second. At its construction peak in 1980, the dam project will employ about 3,500 workers. Ralph Spinney, construction manager for the project, said there are enough skilled workers in the area to supply labor C WEATHER VANCOUVER (CP) - High-low temperatures issued Monday by the weather office and precipitation ( in millimetres ) for the previous 24 hours: iranDrooK u Penticton Revelstoke Vancouver Prince Rupert Mewan Port Hardy Tofino Comox Victoria 7 Birch & 15th Ave. Older Solidly Built Home 2000 sq. ft. main floor.

Mr. Justice D. E. Andrews was told the Sechelt, B.C. divorcee asked police to let her die after she killed her son and seriously wounded her daughter. It was her love for nine-yearold Susan and son Brian, and fear that her ex-husband was about to try to take the children away from her that drove her to the breaking point, the judge was told. Mr. Justice Andrews said-after hearing evidence of psychiatrists that the woman had been pushed over the brink and acted out of what she felt was consideration for her children that he wanted time to determine sentence and will deliver his decision Monday. Crown counsel Leonard Doust told the court that on Jan. 17 an RCMP sergeant and his wife investigated a sound at their door and found Susan lying on her back screaming in pain. "Mummy shot me and Brian with a gun," the girl was quoted as saying.. She had been shot in her side, arms and legs, and was taken to hospital. - RCMP then forced their way into the Taylor dwelling, where they found Brian dead, with a bullet wound in his back. Mrs. Taylor had suffered bul let wounds and a hunting knife was sticking from her chest. Nearby was a note signed by the mother, telling of her fears for the well-being of her children should her ex-husband take them away, and ending with the words "put all three of us where we can rest in peace." Other witnesses testified they considered the accused to have been a devoted and loving mother, a quiet and perhaps lonely woman who maintained an immaculate household and properly looked after her two children. Two psychiatrists who interviewed Mrs. Taylor said that while she was not insane at the time of the shootings she was suffering from a severe neurotic depression that left her judgment impaired. Defence counsel Dudley Edwards asked for a suspended sentence, on terms that she take psychiatric treatment. Edwards described the incident as the case of a conscientious mother whose depressed mind became so sick that what she did was done so that she and her children would not be torn apart. He said Mrs. Taylor has maintained a tremendous relationship with her daughter and that Susan has kept in touch with her mother, who has been in custody since the shootings. Doust said the Crown is not pressing for a punishment type of sentence, but the court must consider more than just the future welfare of the woman. Riverview patient sober and sensible VANCOUVER (CP) -Thomas Kosberg, who killed all but one member of his family in 1965, now is a "model citizen" who will pose no danger to society when he is released soon, the director of the Foren- sic Psychiatric Commission said Friday. Dr. John Duffy said Kosberg, 27, who has been ordered released from Riverview Hospital by the provincial cabinet, is a "sober, sensible fellow" who has furthered his educa tion in Riverview and whose release is "perfectly straightforward." v "He's had umpteen opportunities to cut out and he's never done it once," Duffy said. "I haven't any doubt at all that he will be a model citizen and that's the last we'll ever hear of him." Dr. Duffy bitterly criticized the media for "despicable and appalling" reporting of the release, highlighting Kos-berg's crime and the fact that the murder weapon was an axe. "All that past is behind him, but then someone begins this mudslinging of 'axe-killer,'" said Dr. Duffy. "Youdon't call a drunken driver who kills someone a Chevrolet killer or a Pbntiac killer. "It's really upsetting. It upsets all those who work with these people." During court proceedings, psychiatrists testified that Kosberg, who was 16 years old when he killed his parents, two brothers and two sisters, suffered from a mental disturbance preventing him from appreciating the nature and quality of his actions.
