L- \ Seminar for loggers Raymond Hull, president of Go wer Point Property Owners association, under fire from diehard pollutionists because he backed away from opposing Gibsons sewage system, was given almost unanimous support at a' special meeting of the association Sunday. The audience numbered close to 50 only six opposed Mr. Hull. The meeting opened with discussion as to whether the press should be allowed to remain. With this settled by the majority 'favoring the press remaining, the problem of proxy votes arose with opponents questioning their validity. A majority vote decided proxy votes - would be accepted-without question. - Mr:^ Hull turned the chair over to -Fred Corley. Mr. Hull's action under fire, was over informing Gibsons council the majority of the association executive were-in favor of dropping opposition to the Gibsons sewage system- in view of council's bylaw for intallation of a secondary treatment plant. Opponents argued this is contrary to a 1968 motion passed in August, 1968 which stated the association would do all within its power to oppose establishing a treated sewage outlet.

Mr. Peterson, a sponsor of many student extra-curricular activities thoughout\" the years, accompanied Elphinstone Grade 12 student, Dorian Gregory, who presented a paper to the Symposium. those - opposing-Mr. -Hull's .action Supporters argued that the issue at time was involved with an elementary plant. Conditions had changed since with respect to- the physical plant, requiring a -second look at the project.

After the vote, those opposing Mr. Hull asked the chair to advise the pollution board that a public hearing should be held on the issue. Mr. Hull said that executive has no power to advise the pollution board to hold a hearing. The meeting quickly turned to its second subject, that of a Centennial project and after minutes of arguing it decided a committee consisting of Mrs; A. Moorcroft , Mrs. P. Elson, Mr. R.

General notes on Pollution Control act amendments (Bill \n6l}63.)x>^X\xy^,;/:-:X;-/i 1. The existing Pollution Control act deals with water, and land pollution control. Small domestic sewage discharges less than 5,000 gallons per day (using septic tanks) are exempted by the regulations issued under the Pollution Control act. These small discharges are being dealt with by the Health officials under the Health act.. The amendments to the Pollution Control act do not make any change in this regard. 2. The main purpose of the amendments is to extend the control and regulation over the industrial air pollution. A number of sections of the act are Gower Point Property Owners Association members Sunday afternoon revealed their position in the argument over Gibsons sewage system^ in an overwhelming vote in supporting the action taken being amended so as to bring by its president. SSSr^the *a po^tion contr?1 > This action was to inform Gibsons council that in view of the er ac * ese amena fact council had definitely involved itself in secondary treatment for its sewage disposal that .the GPPOA was prepared to withdraw its objections to the Gibsons sewer scheme. President Raymond Hull, prominent author, flew back from Boston where he was holidaying, to attend this meeting. There were close to 50 persons present. When it came to a vote on the motion supporting the president's action in writing to Gibsons council, not more than six hands were raised in opposition. This left about 40 people, who raised their hand high in favor of Mr. 'Hull's action ments generally follow the recommendations made in July lasf year by the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 'Pollution Control board.

The so-called penalty section (Section 20A) of the existing act makes an offence if a person discharges sewage effluent or waste without permit. The re-writen secion 20A broa- ens the applicability of the penalty section by making an offence any violation of the provisions of the Pollution Control act or its regulations. In addi- ion, damage done to pollution control installation' and equip- ' ment would also, fall under thi s section. (Penalty will remain unchanged\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD$1,000 or three months imprisonment or both, and if the offence is of a continuing ature\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa fine of $500 per day), 8.

However the vote did not offer them much hope for support. It cannot be said pressure was placed oh those favoring Mr. Hull by anyone in Gibsons. From the start Gibsonites from the mayor on down refrained from entering the Gower Point fray, preferring to let those property owners make their own decision. This they did in no uncertain manner. Perhaps now Gibsons might be allowed, to proceed on its allotted path, allotted by grace of the Provincial[Pollution board, to proceed with what it plans to do under provincial direction, with no deals under the table or conspiracies to flout whatever regulations that may be involved. Clear policies necessary A cooling off process is necessary for those people who, having taken hold of the pollutibn ruckus are barging in where angels fear to tread. Gordon Draeseke, president of the Council of Forest Industries expresses this feeling when he says that when too many people without sufficient knowledge of our environmental problems jump on the anti-pollution bandwagon the real issues can quickly become lost. ^ He felt that governments \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD municipal, provincial and federal, should first develop clear policies and directives on pollution control before rushing through new legislation calling for standards which present technology is unable to meet. He also felt concerned about the number of \"amateurs\" clamoring for action and looking for easy solutions. There are no easy or simple solutions to a problem of this complexity. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD He believes that pollution problems must be solved scientifically, not emotionally or politically. Improvement of the environment must go hand in hand with economic growth because pollution and population-pressure are partners. To Ibe realistic the target must 'be acceptable standards of pollution control because there is no such thing as a pollution-free environment in any modern society. {. The forest industry gave up the use of DDT eight years ago oh their own initiative when serious side effects were first confirmed and developed insecticides without harmful side effects. Mills have* he said, spent $60 million on pollution control equipment since 1960. However, now that large numbers of people are involving themselves, there is a danger the anti-pollution movement may go too far. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .

Jackson, Terry, Tom and Stonewall Jackson. ing and land grading, etc., which are of lesser importance, are exempted. It is visualized the municipal governments will regulate and control such air pollution sources under their bylaws. 4. Air pollution from motor- vehicles will be. controlled under the Motor-Vehicle act to which appropriate amendments are being drafted. Air pollution from burning of weeds, crops or stubble will remain under the Noxious Weeds act.; air pollution control. from pesticides or biocides will remain under the Pharmacy act. or Pest Control act (Canada). 5. All new industriarair con- tamiant emissions . will require permit from the director of pollution control branch of the water resources service effective Jan. 1 1971. All existing industrial air contaminant emissions are to be registered with the director of pollution control branch on or before Dec. 31; 1971. The director will then order them to apply for a'permit which they will be required to do within 60 days. The scheduling of this pro cedure which involves the issuance of a number of permits to the existing air pollutant emissions will, depend on the available experienced staff. The director may have to extend this over a period of several years. 6. Amendments are also being made to those sections of the Act which deal with water and soil pollution. The existing Act states that every effluent or waste material discharge requires a permit from the director. It is estimated that there is quite a large number of existing effluent or waste material discharges that have been in operation for,a number of years and which are not yet brought under permits. . The amended act would provide that effective Jam 1, 1970, all new; sewage or waste dis-' charges require permit and that all the existing sewage; discharges will have to be registered with the director of pollution control by Dec. 31, .1970. The director will then order the existing -discharges to' apply for permit which they will be required to do within 60 days. Again, as mentioned in connection with existing air pollutants, the scheduling of the orders by the Director and the processing of the applications received will depend on the available experience^! staff and will very likely take several years to complete. This amendment regarding the existing sewage and other waste discharges without permit means also that those who have been discharging without, permit could be prosecuted effective Jan. 1, 1970. (They could ed Act if they do hot register be prosecuted under the amend- with the director or do not apply comptroller of water rights, whose recommendations will require consideration by the director. Presently this requirement exists under the regulations of the act. 9, A new section 5B will be added to the act which provides that the provisions of the Pollution Control, act snail prevail over those of any other act in case of a conflict. There are'several other Acts that have sections dealing with pollution control. If a municipality has an air pollution control by-law, the industrial air pollution control permits issued by the director of pollution control branch will prevail over the provisions of the municipal by-law! However, *if the municipal by-iaw requires higher degree of treatment than that specified in the permit, theN by-law requirements will still be valid. 10. Under amended Section 13, objections to granting of a permit to discharge sewage will remain unchanged. Objections to granting of an air pollution control permit may be filed with the director of pollution control branch by any person who lives within 5 miles of the point of emission and by the immediately adjoining Municipality. 11. As in the existing Act, the pollution control board of the water resources service will continue to be the first stage appeal tribunal from any decision made by the director.

Fryer, 31, said the aim of the Reform. Caucus is ito engender relevant debate at the convention, not to overthrow ithe leadership of the Congress; Fryer said the reform caucus will urge that ihe CLC help the labor movement re-establish itself as a. social force through community projects. ; The reform group will also press for a broadening of industrial democracy by restricting the employer's presently unrestricted right to control prices, technological change, relocation of factories and other decisions which affect the workers' way of life, he said. Fryer told the 1RMA the reform group will also try to in- New pollution committee A pollution committee has been formed by Port Mellon Local 297 of the IBPS & PMW. The committee under the chairmanship of Don Pearsell has been instructed to co-operate fully with any other committees of a like nature, in the area and to determine and recommend to the Local Union the best method by which Local 297 can be of benefit to the community. The battle to rid the atmosphere of much of the poilutents being deposited there by us as individuals and as workers in an industry, notorious for its capabilities for pollution, ts dependent on the singular and collective action of all the citizens. , Canadian Forest Products, Howe Sound Pulp division, has been approached requesting their co-operation in the ^operation of, such a committee. It is hoped that they will see the benefit^ to be reaped in the proper education of the local membership and the public in general regarding the -true facts concerning pollution- of the envirori- ment, both by the pulp and paper industry and others. Ferry service protested Port Mellon Local 297 of the IBPS & PMW, has protested to (he provincial government in the strongest possible terms, (he totally inadequate and inconvenient scheduling of ferries in this area. The letter sent to the B.C. Ferry Service with .copies to the highways department and the Hon. Isabel Dawson, also decried the lack of a late night servLce, pointing out that residents of the Sunshine Coast are inconvenienced and suffered financially for thfe right to live in this area, and calling for im- mediat e steps to be taken to end this discrimination against one segment of the B.C. population./ '-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' The protest came because a motion from the floor 6f a general membership meeting of the local union, called unanimously for such a protest. The reply from the B.C. Ferry Service stated that referring to the protest over inadequate service they supposed that we were referring to the period when the Sunshine Coast Queen was in for refit and unfortunately this was an inconvenience we would have to put up with on a yearly basis... \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.. \v,-v.';' As far as late night service was concerned they stated that there was.^insufficient- demand for them to seriously consider such a move at present and pointing out that the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island are, in the same position. w-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD *p Union scholarship fund A general meeting of Port Mellon Local 297, IBPS & PMW, voted strongly in favor of setting :_p a fund to provide a $100 scholarship annually to a boy or girl chosen by the secondary school authorities for the purpose of helping them to attend vocational school.

It is hoped that the scholarship will provide the necessary incentive to enable a young man or woman, not academically inclined toward a university education, to receive the necessary vocational training to provide them with a satisfying and remunerative career in a field to which they are suited by aptitude and liking, and so to find a useful place in society . School Act changes loom ; Changes to the School act are before the legislature in the form of amendments to the act.

Where applicable, the list of electors for the rural areas of a school district will be the list of electors prepared by the Regional Board. It is illegal for any person to disrupt the meetings of a school board. An offence against this act is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding $50. A teacher or any other school board employee, who is granted a superannuation allowance on . medical evidence, is prohibited from accepting a position with another school board. With respect to teachers* sick leave provisions, the bill provides for the following: , The maximum number of sick leave days which may be taken in any one school year remain at 120 days. Sick leave credit is accumulated at the rate of one day for each month taught. For services prior to April, 1968, sick leave is accumulated at the rate of one day for each' month taught. For services after April, 1968, sick leave is accumulated at the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD rate of one and onehalf days for each month taught. Total accumulated credit shall not exceed 250 teaching days.

All' iternationai unions in this country should enable the Canadian membership to elect all the Canadian officers, and collective agreements negotiated in Canada should not be subject to the approval' of a head office in the United States. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\" Fryer said one of the side effects of international unions has been to disco-rage much-needed consolidation of Canadian labor. Minimum wage $1.50 per hour Hon. L.R. Peterson, Q.C., minister of labor, has announced a new order which raises the minimum wage for employees in many industries and occupations to $1.50 per hour, which will be the highest minimum wage in Canada for comparable < areas of employment. Effective May 4 1970, the new order replaces those presently in effect for the following: Manufacturing and mercantile industries; hotel and catering industry; laundry cleaning, and dyeing industry; fishing industry; the hotel and catering industry in unorganized territory; and in the occupations of elevator operators and starters; office occupation; bicycle-riders and foot-messengers. / Minimum wage orders in Bri- . lish Columbia do not provide lower rates for inexperienced persons or for female employees, which is the case in a number of the other provinces. The present minimum wage in most instances is $1.25 perhour. Amendments to the Payment of wages act which were given Second- Reading in the Legislature strengthen the provisions of the act and extend its benefits to additional workmen, Hon. L. R. Peterson, Q.C. minister of labor announces. ^Under the amended act wages found to be owing to an employee as set forth in a certificate made by the Board of Industrial Relations will have the status of a lien or charge in priority over all liens, charges, or mortgages of every person in respect of the real or personal property of the employer, including those of the Crown in right of the province. The number of employees com ing under the Payment of Wages act has been.extended to include all employers and employees in every industry, business, trade and occupation, subject to .certain specific exceptions, rather than to only those included in a schedule to the act, limiting its application to certain industries and occupations. The importance of the legislation is emphasized when it is realized that last year $277,370 were collected on behalf, of 3,- 658 employees and 1,767 employers were affected and that additional money could have been obtained if unpaid wages had priority.

GRASS FIRE CALL The Sunday 3 p.m. fire call came from Hopkins Landing area where grass and brush in. vicinity of the home of Dr. J.J. L. Crosby flared up in a blaze. Firemen sprayed water on it and had it under control quickly. mayors: Regional board directors do hot possess special powers and responsibilities of mayors as specified in Section 179 of the Municipal act, so states C.H.L. Woodward, director of^the Mun- kapal Administration division of the provincial government's department of jmuhicipal affairs. This information was supplied Mayor Wally Peterson through a letter addressed to hini:by;Mr. Woodwards A copy, was also sent to Charles Gooding, secretary treasurer of the; Sunshine Coast Regional Distrxcf board. This-board has bee_; in the throes of dispute started many months ago, when Director Frank West wrote a letter as a director seeking information which has since been regarded as beingoutside the^jurisdiction of the Regional v District board. It reached a peak ;wheri one director implied at aboard meeting \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat no Victoria official; was go- in tell him what he Should do; Here is the letter which was received by Mayor Peterson: Dear Mr. Peterson: In reply to you letter of March 4, in its fundamental elements the role of a director ofi a regional district is analogous to that of a member of council. He does not possess the special powers and reponsihilities of a inayor as specified, in section 179 of the Municipal act. He-may act as the sounding board of public opinion for the area he represents and should be one of the channels by which (matters which the regional district has jurisdiction may be brought to the attention of the board. The director, as the case may be, is the elected or appointed representative of the people or the municipality he represents on the Regional board but has no special governing powers in respect of regional or local matters. v The Regional board is the governmental institution for the region Insofar* _s it is empi^ejed to act ^thih;the .functions as^ signed Xto it: by Letters Patent and this implies, in bur view, that the individual director or any committee of the board does not havethe power or the right to act independently. Whilet the Regional board is comprised of members representing different areas, it must operate as ah integral unit with one voice. It cannot function in any other way. The aboard must be supreme in decisions affecting the region. This is modified only to the extent necessary to accommodate functions of the regional district that are participated in by some of the member areas only. \ Here is what the the Municipal act says about section 179: f 179. The person elected as Mayor is the head and chief executive officerof the municipality. He is and has all the rights and privileges of a member of the Council. In addition he has full power and it is his duty to (a) cause the law for the improvement and good government of the municipality to be duly executed and put in force; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD (b) communicate from time to time to the Council all such information and recommend all by-lawsx resolutions, and measures which, in his opinion, may tend to 'the - peace; order, ^and good government of the municipality in relation to the powers conferred upon the Council by this or any other Act;- (c) establish standing committees for:, any purpose which he considers would be better regulated and managed by means of such committees and appoint members of the -Council thereto; but the proceedings of all such committees shall be subject to the approval! of the Council, save in so far. as such proceedings may be in pursuance of any one of them under subsection (2) of section 181; (d) inspect and order the ^conduct of all officers and employees of the municipality, and direct the method of management of the business and affairs of the municipality, and suspend, if deemed necessary, any officer or employee of the municipality and,, as far as may be in his power, to \"cause all negligence, carelessness, and violation of duty on the part of the officers and employees to be prosecuted and punished; but. every such case of suspension shall be reported to the Council at its next sitting ,and the Council may reinstate any officer or employee who has been suspended, or confirm such suspension, or confirm and extend such suspension, or dismiss the officer or employee. Section 2 of 181 reads as follows: (2). Notwithstanding section 17, the Council may, by by-law adopted by an affirmative vote of at least two thirds of all the members' thereof, delegate authority to a standing committee established under section 179, wtih such restrictions or condition as are specified in the bylaw/to exercise any of the executive or administrative powers of; the Council.

E. (MICKEY) COE Brown Bros. Motors 5690 Granville St. Vancouver 13, B.C. ALSO A-l SELECTED USED CARS By the time this column appears, this country may be embroiled in an open dispute with the United States about the status of the waters in the Arctic Archipelago. The federal government's Arctic Waters Pollution bill is expected to introduce the' whole broad question of whether the Northwest Passage is high seas or not. The bill itself is designed to control, among other things, the activities of oil tankers in the North. It is an outgrowth of the Manhattan Project, the Prud horn Bay; discovery in Alaska, the big rush of Canadian oil exploration in our North and the other bursts of Northern activity. ; ; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . : \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ' As some readers may have become aware ,1 have been among those who maintain that We can avert the tragedy of a major oil spill in the Arctic only after we establish our sovereignty, -that Canada [ cannot wait for international agreement on oil tanker safety regulations to protect our shores. There are two methods by .which we might assert bur sovereign control over the passage. Canada could declare, a full 12 mile territorial sea: limit. This breadth of territorial sea, drawn along shorelines and around islands in Barrow Strait, would extend our authority across the Passage. Another method would be to draw base lines at .the ed- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDges of the archipelago and declare all waters within to bo Canadian internal waters\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsimilar in status to, say,; Howe .Sound. Canada should allow innocent passage of foreign ships in either case. We do elsewhere. But innocent passage could not and should not apply; to unsafe oil tankers. Those of us who are called the Arctic hawks insist that this country \"must be the judge of safety. The American position is that in any archipelago of the world, ours of the Arctic included, there should be a high seas passage open without restriction to the ships of all nations. In this they have probably allies in Britain, Russia, and Japan, to name three rather powerful free seas states.. 'Americans sometimes seem to suggest that they wouldn't object to friendly old Canada controlling the Northwest Passage, but they fear we'd set a bad example for such states as Indonesia. What if Indonesia closed her island archipelago to free and unhampered shipping, say, the Americans. Thus, this country, might find itself haled before the Inerna- tional Court of Justice at the Hague, either by the U.S. or by some nation such as Japan, acting on an American suggestion. We could, avoid this only by placing a reservation on our Arctic Waters Pollution Bill, declaring that Canada, will not submit to the Court's judgment In this matter. It is an attractive thought, but directly opposed to the long Canadian tradition of favoring the development of international law to control all the world's nations. In the opinion of many authorities whom I have read or consulted, the Canadian position in a court test at the Hague would be strong. But it is not unbeatable. Some say that if we reach for too much sovereignty over the waters of our coastlines, we may lose some of. the control we have asserted during the past decade. The country has already asserted considerable control in Arctic- waters during recent months. On her second voyage North, the Manhattan has had to submit to Canadian inspection. But our troubles in establishing the necessary sovereignty over the waters of the Arctic Islands .may not be over. They may be just beginning.

Shadwells with Marg Wheeler in the chair. Arrangements were made for the Fly-Up on April 21. This will form a.brand new Guide Company with two new leaders. Mrs: Maureen Dorais and Mrs. Lillian Honeybunn. There will be 19 girls in this company. In the fall the girls will be selling calenders. Each month on the calender will have a Girl Guide scene on it. The profits from the sale of the calenders will go to the girls. '-> The 1st. Brownie Pack's leaders will take nine girls to camp Sunshine Coast on April 10, 11 and 12. And the 3rd1 Pack will take 15 girls on April 24, 25, 26. These fifteen girls are the first girls that formed the 3rd Pack when M started. On April 28 the L..A. has invited the Guiders to their meeting. So if mothers want to meet the leaders who are working with the girls they are most welcome to attend.

Q. I got served with a summons claiming I owe $800 which I don't. It tells me if I want to fight it I have to file a document at the courthouse in 8 days, t obtained the correct document, called an appearance, and filled it in and filed it. Havri't I done everything I have to do to protect myself? A^ NoV The summons contains as part of it, a statement of claim. You must file a statement of defence as, well. Default judgment can-be entered against you\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin default, i.e. of your defence. Engage a lawyer as this must be worded according to certain rules. If you,in-! sist on handling it yourself, see the answers to the next question. To return to the appearance\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD_re you sure you have filled in an address for service of further documents to you? This address must be within 10 miles of the court registry. You must also serve the plaintiff or his lawyer with a notice of your appearance. Q. Can I prepare the documents in a lawsuit myself? A. You may,; but these must be worded Ma certain manner. In a complicated.case, Lawyers themselves sometimes experience difficulty. If you can't afford a lawyer iahid'are not applying for or are ineligible for legal aid, at least hire a lawyer to word the documents for you. His fee for this will not be large. The Litter act \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD what does it involve? The principle of the Litter act can best be described by recognizing that two basic factors are involved. -,;\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.. We are attempting to reduce the burden of litter control in our parks, wilderness areas and oh Crown lands, by making it mandatory that certain types of beverage containers shall be refundable, if returned to the place of sale. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'We-. further require that all types of containers and other materials that can be classified as litter shall not be dumped or abandoned, but must be disposed of consistent with this act. .. '.-;-, In short, we are asking all citizens to not only accept their full responsibility both in litter and sanitary control but also to spread the message to our visitors as well. We have no illusions ~t\"-t this bill by Itself will solve all our probems in the field in which it deals. I am led to believe, however, there is strong general support for the policy concepts incorporated into the bill, and, with public support, we can make this a definite step forward in the broad public quest for protection of our environment:.- The objectives defined will not be accomplished without some costs, changes in methods of merchandizing and some improvement in the attitudes of., some of our people. Concern has < been expressed that commodities of general house use, other than soft drinks beer and ale will be required to be packaged in refundable containers. . t. -..-,,'-...,..-;.'; It is not the intention of government that the refund requirements should apply more broadly than necessary and for greater certainty Section 9 (b) makes provision for spelling out the commodities and containers set in Section 3. The operative sections of this bill will come into force of law by proclamation. A reasonable period of time will be provided for those who may be affected by this Bill to make the necessary arrangements. I would suggest, however, that no undue delay ought to be contemplated^ for the bill will likey'be proclaimed before mid-summer. (Copyright) Q. Why can't I handle my own \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtrials? . '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ' A. You may, but trials are usually won; or lost in the preparation or lack of same. The preparation for the trial is more important than the trial itself. There are documents to prepare, witnesses to interview, subp- oneas to be.issued and served and the presentation of the evidence and legai argument to be carefuly considered. A lawyer is the only person competent to do all this. Q. I have been charged with a criminal offence. I hayn't got much of an excuse and don't want the expense of a lawyer. What do you advise? Av Engage a lawyer. The criminal law is very technical and tricky. At least see a lawyer about.how you should conduct your own defensce. His fee for this won't be large\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-perhaps $20. At the very least plead not guilty The crown may be unable to prove the case against you. Don't, assume you are guilty. You may have a defence you are not aware of. The judge at the trial will help you. For traffic cases, where the fine is less than say $50, it would generally be uneconomical to hire, a lawyer. ! Q. I have, been sued in the small claims division for $500. should I have a lawyer? A. No. A lawyer is not necessary or desirable in this court where the procedure is simple and no statement of defence or complicated documents are required. In any event, the appeal is by way of a new trial in the next highest court-county court. If you lose and want to appeal you can, consult a lawyer at that time. ~_1 It could also be observed that for those who camp in the wilderness, a shovel will become the most important piece of equipment in their camping gear. On the part of the government there will be a determined effort to reduce the incidence of both litter and pollution. We are already spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year providing facilities for litter and waste control. We will increase our efforts in this field. Should actual operation require further broadening of the Act, I am sure there will be no hesitation in recommending further action to this legislative assembly. Despite any inconvenience that may emerge as a result of actual application of this bill as law,, I am convinced that its measures are in the best interest of the public.
