scientific knowledge, not the least of which was the thermometer based on 100 degrees of difference between the freezing and boiling po*nts of water Celsius described the scale, which he used for meteorological observations, in a paper read before the Swedish Academy of Science in 1742 The thermometer read 100 degrees in melting ice and 0 degrees in boiling water.Six years after his death the scale was inverted to read 0 degrees when in ice and remains the same to the present dav.30 degrees — swimming weather 20 degrees — room temperature 0 degrees — water freezes -*0 degrees — too cold

Moncton city policemen Mr Justice David M.Dickson of the New Brunswick Supreme Court will give his instructions to the jury after the Crown and defence complete their summations this morning The Crown ended its case Monday afternoon after calling its 74th witness in the trial, which began March 17.The defence called no witnesses.James Hutchison.47.and Richard Ambrose, 26, are charged with murder punishable by death in the shooting of Moncton policemen Aurele Bourgeois and Michael O'Leary, who disappeared while investigating a kidnapping last Dec 13.Raymond Stein, 14, the kidnap victim, was released unhurt after his father paid a $15,000 ransom Cpl.Dale Swansburg, the final witness for the Crown, told how he and another RCMP member arrestee Ambrose on the morning of Dec.13 near Moncton and recovered $5.492 from his pockets, all of it in $10 bills, except one $2 bill.Testimony during the trial showed that Cy Stein, father of the kidnapped boy.paid the ransom in packets of $10 bills.The bank which provided the money made a record of most of the serial numbers.Cpl.Swansburg said 146 of the $10 bills recovered from Ambrose had serial numbers coinciding with the numbers on the bank list.Sgt Harold Stone, a paint indentification expert from the RCMP laboratory at Sackville, N B , testified that light green paint particles found by a soil expert on Ambrose s high-heeled

to fall to the Communists, and the loss of the rest of the central coast is expected soon Military sources said Qui Nhon’s administrative and military authorities were evacuated by a navy ship Monday, leaving the city.South Vietnam’s third-largest.to the advancing North Vietnamese and Viet Cong Some fighting was reported at Phu Cat airport, once a major United States base 20 miles north of Qui Nhon But it apparently did not last long and the North Vietnamese were reported to have overrun the base This completed the Communist conquest of Binh Dmh province, the 14th of South Vietnam's 44 to be taken over by the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong Most have been given up without a fight The next targets of the Communist drive were expected to be the Saigon government s remaining enclaves on the central coast the port cities of Tuy Hoa.50 miles south of Qui Nhon Nha Trang.50 miles farther south, the big former U S.base at Cam Ranh Bay.25 miles south of Nha Trang PRESSURE BUILDS Military pressure meanwhile appeared to be building up close to Saigon The Saigon command said Chon Thanh, an isolated district capital 45 miles north of Saigon, was hit by a 3.000-shell barrage and that North Vietnamese tanks moved in under cover of the shelling The communique said the attack was driven off and 12 tanks were knocked out It reported 18 government soldiers killed but gave no report of North Vietnamese losses Fighting also was reported at two points near Xuan Loc.a provincial capital 45 miles east of Saigon The Saigon command said 37 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong were killed and government losses were two killed and seven wounded With the capture of Qui Nhon and Binh Dmh province, the Communists now control the upper part of South Vietnam and all of Military aid in Mid-East 'possible' WASHINGTON (CP) Defence Secretary James Schlesinger said Monday the United States reaction to a renewed oil embargo might be “far more severe this time than last time.” Schlesinger did not say what that reaction would be.but he said that military intervention in the Middle East oil lands would be a remote possibility .” “On the other hand,” Schlesinger said in an interview on the Public Broadcasting television network.“I think we would have to react under the circumstances.” Schlesinger said: We would not.I think, expect readily to tolerate a renewed boycott.’’ Schlesinger indicated that any new long-term military aid commitments will have to wait on a reassessment of U.S.Middle East policy in the wake of the collapse of State Secretary Henrv Kissinger’s efforts to arrange a further Israel-Egyptian agreement Schlesinger said that deliveries of “very substantial” military aid already committed to Israel under past agreements will be virtually completed next month.TALKS W ILL RESUME He forecast the Geneva Conference on the Middle East will resume in late spring or summer and the Soviets will support what he called “the more extreme” Arab demands on Israel Meanwhile, the state department described as a malicious deliberate lie” allegations in Soviet newspapers that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in the assassination of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia Spokesman Hobert Anderson told a news conference “our views will be made known to the Soviet government, if they have not already been made known.” He said he did not know whether the subject had come up when Kissinger met Saturday with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobnnin He added that the Middle East situation was scheduled for discussion.The Soviet newspaper.Pravda.suggested the CIA was involved in Faisal's assassination and raised the question whether this was linked to Western talk of possible actions against the oil-exporting countries SUMMON AMBASSADORS Anderson also disclosed at his news conference that the department has summoned U S.ambassadors to Egypt.Israel.Jordan and Syria to Washington this weekend in connection with the review of this country’s policy in the Middle East The policy review was ordered bv President Ford after the collapse of Kissinger’s efforts to achieve a new agreement between Israel and Egypt on disengagement of forces in the Sinai Any U S.delay in new arms agreement with Middle East countries would be most likely to affect Israel, which receives the bulk of U S.arms deliveries in that part of the world At the same time.Israel made it clear that it wants Kissinger to continue his step-by-step diplomacy between Israel and Egypt, which collapsed March 23 Israel hopes that in about two weeks a possibility may arise for a resumption of the U S.in itiative, a reliable diplomatic source said However, Egypt has said it favors a resumption of the Geneva Conference on the Middle East and Kissinger said he is preparing for a new round in the Swiss citv.Two policemen shot in B.C.PORT COQUITLAM.B.C.(CP) — The RCMP said Monday they were prepared to hunt in dense bush all night for two would-be bank robbers who wounded two policemen The sea

waited in their cruiser at a roadblock after an attempted bank holdup in nearby Coquitlam Neither of the constables was hurt seriously.A miserable failure' Clemency over for draft evaders WASHINGTON (AP) President Ford’s clemency program for war resisters ended at midnight Monday with a flurry of last-minute applications.Sign-ups rose to about 18,000 from 16.500 Sunday, a spokeswoman for the presidential clemency board reported The military, which dealt with 12.500 unpunished deserters, said its total of men processed at Ft.Beniamin Harrison.Ind .rose to 5,284 Monday from 5,253 Sunday with another 33 still being processed There was no sign of a final rush, a press officer at the post said The justice department, which took applications from among 4.400 unconvicted draft evaders, said its total of signups rose during the weekend to 603 from 589 Steve Gross nan.28.of Chicago, a draft resister on the editorial board of > nex Canada in Toronto, said the program was “a miserable failure.” The American Civil Liberties Union, which has opposed the program, called it “a depressing failure “It has been rejected by more than 80 per cent of those eligible.” Grossman said We have opposed every extension of this punitive plan and we re glad to see it end It was nothing more than a public relations game to let President Ford pardon < former president Richard» Nixon and punish war resisters.” An estimated 100.000 were eligible for the program The clemency board’s operation was the largest part of the three-way program, offering a chance for conditional clemency and pardon

Milk is dumped WINNIPEG (CP) An unspecified amount of Manitoba milk was dumped down sewers last summer because of temporary surpluses.Agriculture Minister Sam Uskiw said Monday Mr.Uskiw told the legislature that processors had refused to buy the milk at reduced prices.He said the dumping occurred in July, but said he did not remember how many tons of milk were involved The issue arose during debate on a government plant proposed for Selkirk.Man .to proc ess whey and milk One purpose of the plant is to serve as an outlet tor liquid whey now discarded by cheese plants in the province and to dry it for use by other food processors.Mr.Uskiw said a secondary purpose of the plant would be to process surplus milk during peak periods of production Opposition ML As have questioned the motives behind the NDP government's interest in a whey and milk plant Durin Monday’s debate, Harry Enns (PC -Lakeside) said the interest developed after a multinational company, Beatrice Foods Ltd .acquired control of Modern Dairies Ltd .Manitoba’s largest dairy company.Mr Uskiw replied I believe that is is not good policy to have all the dairy industry’ in the hands of one corporation I believe in plac

Protection Agency stopped it on a technicality.In British Columbia three departments of the Provincial Government — Highways, Hydroelectric and Railways — have suspended the use of 2,4-D and 2.4,5-T A Royal Commission of Inquiry into herbicides and pesticides has issued an Interim Report, part of which is a recommendation for total banning of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T throughout British Columbia British Columbians who have solid evidence of poisoning, physical defects, illness or death due to phenoxy herbicides, are asked to bring evidence to their elected officials.A case has been brought against the U S Department of Agriculture and U S.Forestry Service against the use of spraying California’s 17 National Forests with 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D-P which they allege threatens the lives of children and adults alive today and yet unborn The City of Los Angeles has joined the suit by the “People for Environmental Progress” in their suit.Their reason for joining the suit is that their firemen are committed by legal agreement to help fight fires in nearby Angeles National Forest Since the spraying of phenoxy herbicides in the forest and surrounding areas, deaths among firemen from smoke inhalation has substantially increased The City attributes this to the spraying of the chemicals and their toxic residue Now the Vegetation Control Service Ltd.(who sprays the Quebec Central Railway tracks) by their own admittance use phenoxy herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4-DP These herbicides are made from chlorinated phenol These herbicides are fat soluble, a similarity they share with DDT While variants usually break up after application within one year and are not in themselves persistent, a contaminant in all of them is persistent.This contaminant.dioxin, comes in varying chemical structures but is highly toxic in all those studied, is fat-soluble, persistent and cumulative The lethal dosage of dioxin is about one-third the size of a grain of sugar DDT is not nearly as toxic.Under the name Agent Orange (50 per cent 2,4-D, 50 per cent 2,4,5-T with toxic levels of dioxin) rivers and jungles ^Vietnam were saturated^w the assumed protection of the U S.Forces.Its use was eventually banned in Vietnam Alleged to cause acute poisoning, cancer, birth defects, brain damage, accelerated aging and genetic damage few can argue the potency of these herbicides They are all acids which can cause severe chemical burns in the throat, lungs and internal organs.An easy stimulant for emphysema and other lung afflictions Neither does anyone debate the toxicity of dioxin A single molecule of dioxin, a contaminant in all these herbicides, can damage a gene causing a baby’s death or perpetuation of the damaged gene into future generations.Twenty years ago in Silesia, Germany, a company manufacturing telephone poles was using a dioxin based substance in their manufacturing process.Over 40 per cent of its workers became fatalities due to their exposure to the substance.I believe the above facts more than substantiate the alarms voiced by the citizens of Beebe and other areas in Stanstead County against the future use of herbicides by the Quebec Central Railway.Again as concerned citizens, we ask the railway to use men and weed burners to remove weeds and shrubs f from the railway tracks and* disban the use of herbicidal control.Mrs.Virginia Naeve j

Finding that the New York State Sullivan law prohibiting the carrying of firearms is not successfully serving the purpose for which it was intended.a movement is on foot at Albany to have it amended The rising tide of banditry in New York State, in which the ever ready revolver plays a very pA ment part, has shown conclusively that the Sullivan Ip a has utterly failed of its purpose In fact, the chief reason for one of the amendments of the Sullivan Law is that it has proven a stimulus to criminality rather than a deterrent It is claimed that it has disarmed the law abiding citizen and placed him at the mercy of the law breaker Consequently, it is proposed to so widen the permit role as to enable every accredited citizen to carry arms as means toward combating the bandit At all events, it is argued that such a change in law is necessary for defensive purpose Here is one of the respects in which we cannot very well reproach our neighbors.” states the Ottawa Citizen in discussing the proposed amendments to the Sullivan Law.We have a law against the carrying of firearms, yet it is not effective Scarcely a day passes without some fresh demonstration of lawlessness, with the revolvei

Massawippi, Quebec.An August wedding is planned.Commission rejects divorce standards OTTAWA — The Law Reform Commission of Canada calls for equal sharing of family property upon termination of marriage.In its eighth Working Paper entitled “Family Property”, the Commission rejects present separate property laws.The Commission states that fairness requires that upon divorce, both parties should be entitled to an equitable portion of the family property, (the house, the car, the furniture), accumulated during the marriage The Commission believes that the family unit is the most important institution of pur society.Marriage is an economic, emotional and cultural partnership.When the laws governing the relationships between married persons are examined — particularly those dealing with property — it is apparent that they are almost totally inadequate either in strengthening the foundations of the modern family or ensuring the dignity of each of the partners.Only one jurisdiction in Canada — the province of Quebec — has undertaken any thorough reforms in its family property law during this century, and only two others — the Northwest Territories and British Columbia — have taken significant legislative steps in this direction In the other common law provinces and territories married persons are all subject to “separate property” law.The Commission, in this Working Paper, examined the basic deficiencies of this law- of separate property, which has existed as a body of law, doctrine and dogma, essentially unchanged for almost one hundred years.Separate property means that the property accumulated during a marriage is owned by the spouse who paid for it.The Commission believes that during a marriage both spouses, whether working outside the home or in it, assume equivalent but different duties equally taxing to each and of equal value to the family.However, the law still interprets “value” as meaning the price that services would command in terms of wages.The Commission believes that where the family is concerned, the law should put behind it this narrow assumption that money is the only measure of value and is relevant in determining property rights between husbands and wives.The law should be concerned instead with the more fundamental question of the fairest way for equality in family property matters to be guaranteed by law, regardless of traditional or marketplace inequalities, and regardless of the role assumed by either spouse in the accomplishment of functions necessary to the family.If this is done, upon the termination of a marriage by divorce, both parties would have a clear legal right to the property that has been obtained during the marriage Festive Service MELBOURNE — On Palm Sunday
