Air hijacking or sabotage would become offences subject to life imprisonment under Criminal ('ode amendments proposed bv the government Monday The new air piracy sections tailored to recent international conventions, also would subject those earning firearms or explosives aboard a plane to up to 14 years in prison The proposed amendments would extend jurisdiction of Canadian courts to offences earned out while a Canadian aircraft was in flight or on the ground whether in or outside Canada Other proposed amendments in an extensive 1972 package would —Extend the 1969 breath-test for impairment.which has snared thousands of drinking motorists, to operators of boats as well making them liable to imprisonment fines and loss of licence for navigating while impaired —Abolish corporal punishment hv repealing sections providing whipping as a punishment tor incest and other crimes —Repeal the controversial law on vagrancy bv which prostitutes are detained by police, inserting a new Criminal Code provision that would outlaw “soliciting bv prostitutes —Broaden the appeal against a contempt of court conviction to include cases in which contempt was committed in the face of the court At present the sentence can be appealed but not the conviction itself LEGALIZE SI H IDE —Repeal a section of the Criminal ('ode that makes attempted suicide an offence —Stiffen the prohibition against bribing or intimidating a witness or jury member in a criminal case bv raising the maximum sentence to 10 vears from two —Place women in the same position as men for jury service in criminal cases throughout ( anada This would overrule laws in any province that limit the use of women on juries The point became an issue in the case of Lise Balcer after the 1970 October crisis in Montreal She protested against Quebec law on jury duty as discriminatory against women —Raise the dividing line between petty theft and theft to $200 from $50 Maximum sentence for petty theft most common offence in Canada is two vears It is 10 vears for theft exceeding $50 —Allow absolute or conditional discharge of an accused after plea or finding, meaning there would be no criminal record in such cases This would not apply in cases in which the law provides for a minimum sentence or one of more than 14 years CHANGESEXTENMA E Other major administrative provisions would Permit intermittent serving of sentences of up to 90 days, enabling the person sentenced to hold a job while serving his time, give at-tomeys-general the power to stay proceedings in summary as well as indictable cases and enable judges to remand an accused for 60 days rather than the present 30 for medical observation A host of other amendments to the code are contained in the bill drafted while John Turner now finance minister held the justice portfolio The bill sponsored bv Otto Lang Mr Turner s successor, is another of the annuals launched when Prime Minister Trudeau was justice minister The 1972 package appears to be more extensive and more fundamental in some respects than its famous 1969 predecessor which made more liberal the laws affecting abortion and homosexuals and cracked down on impaired driving and firearm^ OTTAWA (CP> — If Prime Minister Trudeau is willing to fight an election on the Liberal government s handling of unemployment, then he is a dead duck right now Conservative George

C Catchpaughi Bv l EWIS H%IIRIS SHERBROOKE - Two swimming pools recently submitted bv the city of Sherbrooke to the federal government as a local initiative project will cost 25 per cent more than anticipated Mayor Bureau said last night The city had budgeted tor each of the tw fot a total cost of $224 i*00 for the two pools.$24.000 over the original estimate Kilters will cost an additional $6 000 tor each pool and sev eral councillors wondered whether the city ought to go ahead with its plans to construct the pools in light of the new rev ised costs Councillor Matte, president of the city’s recreation commission, said that the two pools were a need and after lengthy discussion the offer to build the pools at the new cost was accepted The lowest tender was submitted by J M Jeanson Ltd of Sherbrooke who w ill build one piH»l in St Alphonse Park at $112.750 and a second pool in Mar n Park at $112.350 Discussion then centered on the possibility of charging for the use of the pool with several councillors of the opinion that this would be a good way to raise revenues tor the unbudgeted costs Mayor Bureau pointed out that “leisure facilities had to be at the disposition of all and councillor Pinard was firmly opposed to such a move No decision was taken and Mavor Bureau explained after the meeting that a bvlaw pa»ed two months ago allowing the citv to borrow about $1 000 Lkk' to cover all its local initiative projects had a large enough surplus to cover the extra costs of the swimming pools The cits s local initiative projects have been approved bv Quebec though no word has been received from Ottawa vet Councillor Matte pointed out An opportunities tor youth project submitted to council was accepted in principle last night The 14 students involved in the project want to construct games in the city s parks The games include the construction of building blocks disappearing pipes and other sophistical I'd amusements in either the city s parks or beside housing developments The citv passed a resolution supporting the project and the students will collaborate with the city parks department in detailing the project Council ratified a bylaw allow ing the city to tax teaching institutions within the city limits other than CEGEPs on a per student basis According to a provincial law passed last year, municipalities are now allowed to tax CEGERs w ithin city limits on a per student basis The tax is paid in the form of a direct grant to the city from the provincial government The passage of last night s bylaw foresees the possibility that bill 18 will be amended so that cities will also have the right to tax other teaching institutions as well as Grants help government OTTAWA — Canada s local governments still produce more than 50 per cent of their revenues from local sources, bui federal and provincial grants continue to supply an increasing proportion of their financial needs each year The trend was revealed recently in the publication Local Government Finance.Preliminary and Estimates.1968-70.issued by the governments division of Statistics Caned a Its continuation through Wl was confirmed today when the division issued preliminary estimates for the year just ended The publication and the new estimates show that gross revenues from their own sources taxes, licences and permits, charges for municipal services, rental of municipal sports and recreation facilities, fines for by-law infractions and tax penalties — represented 56 9 per cent of total local government revenues in 1969.55 6 per cent in 1970.and an estimated 54 per cent in 1971 The balance of the revenues came from provincial and federal government transfers On the other side of the coin, education represents the largest single expense item at the local level The national average for 1971 was 51 per cent of all expenditures Public works, sanitation and water services made up the second largest category, accounting for a further 20 8 per cent of local government spending last year Ontario local governments spent more, proportionately than their Quebec counterparts on the latter functions — 22 2 per cent to 17 8 per cent — and on health, welfare and recreation 110 per cent to 3 4 per cent Quebec local governments, on the other hand, spent more than those in Ontario on education 58 0 per cent to 3 3 per cent — the provision of general government services — 5.3 per cent — and debt charges — 7 2 per cent to 5 2 per cent Local debt charges in all provinces except New Brunswick and Newfoundland have been gradually decreasing in the last three years The national average lias moved from 6 9 per cent of total expenditures in 1968 to an estimated 5 6 per cent last year The relative Quebec figure declined from 10 ?per cent to 7 2 per cent and tfe Ontario proportion from 6 9 per cent to 5 2 per cent Quebec, however, remains the third highest province in Canada in this category of expenditure On the revenue side of the ledger.Quebec and Ontario follow similar fiscal patterns which naturally are closely related to the national averages Quebec local governments last year produced 55 3 per cent of their total revenues from local sources 48 2 per cent from taxes — while Ontario's comparable figures were 51 9 per cent and 44 4 per cent respectively Samson quit over executive squabble QUEBEC (CP Camil Samson said Monday the behavior of the Creditiste paru s executive at a weekend meeting prompted him to tender his im mediate resignation as party leader Mr Samson said in a news release that the meeting, held Sunday, had been called to discuss his announcement a week ago that a leadership convention would be held March 18-19 His surprise announcement was poorly received by party officials Mr Samson said and the behavior of the majority of the 32 members present at this special meeting left me with one issue to tender my resignation immediately rather than March 19 Mr Samson also said it was unthinkable that the party executive impose Armand Bois as interim leader without setting a date for a leadership convention The former Creditiste leader also said that he had recently been forced to accept a reduced role in

Conservative MF* Eldon Woolliams 'Calgarv North said it appeared Mr Cover was writing a book How to murder your wife and marry your mistress This case smacks of absolute corruption and the worst kind of mismanagement Mr Woolliams said The only solution was a judicial inquiry Geoffroy a notary had strangled his wife and then attempted to disguise the slaving bv setting tire to her bed His trial was interrupted when an uncle of Miss F'arent a key witness, was found on the jury Mr Coyer s statement said Geoffroy s application to marry M*ss Parent came June 28 1971.and was based on his desire to prov ide a mother who would look after the needs of his three* children aged three, six and eight years The children were being looked after by his two brothers A social agency in Montreal was commissioned to provide a report and Micheline Cornelher the agency worker recommended the marriage after seeing Mu-?• Parent Miss Cornelher said the three children were being cared for bv Geoffroy s brothers who had serious heart conditions and might die at anv time-leaving the children destitute These reports were accepted in good faith bv the authorities Later inquiry revealed this part of the social agency report was based on hearsay Mr Cover said Geoffroy s lawyer was Raymond Denis but Mr Coyer ^aid that as far as he knew Mr [Jems had never visited his client in St Vincent de F’aul

given to food protection at all levels ot government is grossly inadequate t'hanges in the production and processing of foods, increasing exposure of foods to chemicals and changes in food preparation and nationwide distribution methods and technique, together with inadequate public health controls, have created the potential for massive nationwide outbreaks of food-borne illnesses Millions of cases of food poisoning occur in North America each year Pohomivelitis and infectious hepatitis are regularly caused hv viruses contained in such things as fluid milk, raw shell fish, frozen strawberries, reconstituted orange juice, convenience foods and ready-to-eat items and prepared dinners requiring minimum heating One factory shipment of infected food now can be distributed, in both countries, nationwide Over fat diets in the 1950s were one thing, cyclamates in the 1960s another but the problems of the last two decades, decades where health standards already have plunged are minimal compared with what we are attempting, with next to no success to survey in the 1970s In 1969.North American food industry sales amounted to more than 125 billion dollars Economically, the North Vmencan industry is mov ing by merger to monopoly and most of the recent growth in the food industry is in processed foods such as pre-cooked breakfast cereals with all the food value taken out ot them The food and drug directorates on both sides ot the border are simply not equipped to meet the new challenge Treating chemicals and their genetic and birth detect p» iontial as the\ did

Also we should remember that when we are not sick we are not automaticallv well or healths points clear off encroaching trees and shoo awav builders Some of the fascination and frustration of the commission s work came out during a visit to its Washington office and talks with its chief U S engineer.Francis X Popper a sandy-haired geodesist who likes to lead survey parties over mountain and field in pursuit of a perfect boundarv The boundary itself Popper explained, is so long and so diversified that the problems of maintaining it can seem endless The border runs through farmers fields and across plains, and the boundary commission has to keep crops and orchards from taking over Others pass through public forests and parks whose rangers sometimes resent keeping the boundary area cleared TAKES RI GGEDROI TE In the west, it plunges up and down the mountains, running across constantly-shifting glaciers or along the edges of precipices where permanent markers would be impracticable Along parts of the Alaska Panhandle, where impenetrable forests and mountains create a no-man s land, the boundary may be known only to the map-makers for stretches of up to 80 miles, because its markers are nearly invisible among the trees and rocks And up on the Arctic Coast where the officially-defined border stops at the high-tide mark and the ocean boundary remains to be agreed upon, some anonymous hunter with some long-ago mischievous urge has fired bullets into the bronze monument that stands sentinel on the treeless desolate shore In the best of all possible frontier worlds every inch of the boundary would be cleared for 10 feet on either side to provide the 20-foot "vista which is the official border strip described by treaty In practice.Popper says, onlv 1.300 miles of vista has been cleared But since 2 380 miles of border also runs across water and many more miles across open fields, the amount of border vista is substantial^ larger OFF BY INCHES There are 14 000 triangulation stations along the border to mark turning points The shortest distance between turns is 231 z inches at a spot between Maine and Quebec The longest is 647 miles — the stretch from the Arctic down to 18.000-foot-high Mount Elias between Alaska and the Yukon, highest point on the border That part ot the border follows the 141st meridian, which r uns arrow-straight The thousands of miles along the 49th parallel, on the other hand, make up a vast curve from Lake of the Woods to the Pacific And it could well be termed the "so-called 49th it seems Since a curv ing border would require an infinite number of surveyed border points, the 1925 treatv has defined the western boundarv as running in straight lines between existing monuments along the 49th parallel Thus parts of the border are several inches away from the curve of the 49th The border is fixed on its current path by international agreement Since it took nearly 150 years of disputes., surveys, arbitration and treaties to arrive at the present boundary, no one seems in a rush to have it altered Reader forum Questions iritiatives Dear Sir.» is tory may well record that one of the most curious aspects of current events is the almost frenetic efforts of the federal government to impose their version of bilingualism on Canada outside Quebec whilst Quebec at the same time is almost frantically imposing unlingualism w ithin Quebec In both cases it represents an imposition of French over English inside and outside Quebec Perhaps one illustration of the extreme French position is recent demands for French language universities in Toronto, a facility wherein perhaps less than five per cent of Ontario's students could obtain an university degree entirely in French Th»» crass stupidity of this business is that after graduation practically all would have to earn their living in an English speaking world, so why not polish up on English in university0 Another inescapable aspect is that in this so-called French university it is more than likely the best text books in any one subject only available in English Similarly, command of French only allows work or job opportunities in less than five per cent of world areas, and in the future may even be more restricted to France and Quebec only, as other nations move more and more to English.But one wonders why the federal government is so frantic in its push on bilingualism outside Quebec, especially as its present interpretation of a bilingual civil servant is strictly a French-Fanadian with almost no knowledge of English Is it possible the Trudeau government is so anxious for votes that it has cast caution aside and is trying to set up a sure Quebec vote bv hastily employing only French-Canadians no matter what the cost0 As far as the fairy story of Canada, or any other country for that matter potentially basking in the euphoria and bliss of French culture all one has to do is to read the rather sordid past history of France and then take a look at its European neighbors who have successfully abstained from absorbing French culture for centuries Who wants it° Just try telling larger ethnic groups in North America — British German Ukrainian Italian Spanish.Negro.Jewish — that sponging up French or French-Canadian culture will turn their lives into a limitless utopia, to speak French so that less than 2 per cent of the population of North America can speak their own language when they decide to stick their noses over the Quebec border What sheer lunacy' Like the French-Canadian authoress who complained bitterly she could not go everywhere in British Columbia speaking only French, when nearly 70 per cent of the French population of Quebec speak no English at
