Fruitgrowers Promise Peace Until July 1974
The rebel fruitgrowers of British Columbia pledge peace in the industry at least until July 1974. Hans Rhenisch of Kermeos, president of United Fruitgrowers, urged three conditions for cooperation, but President Charles Bernhardt of Summerland rejected any conditions. Rhenisch stressed uniting to back the industry, with talks on cost of production guarantees before the 1974 tap year starting in July. John Duncan of Penticton affirmed the stance, noting peace should extend beyond 1974.

Staff Sgt Leroy Chadley cites a decline in sniffing over the past year, aided by an anti sniff formula from a major manufacturer. City drug stores report steady or increased nail polish remover sales and a supplier bottle change causing shortages at times.

The economy faced gloom and sterling weakness as the pound dropped sharply, while energy minister Lord Carrington warned Britain faces a grave situation. A potential last minute TUC settlement over the coal miners wage dispute loomed as a path to end the three day work week and avert an election.
