discussion papers leading up to the six-and-five restraint The Access to Information Act, which came into effect almost eight months ago, has uncovered some ng and tidbits about g activities. “ But the meaty information about how the government makes its important decisions is for the most part being kept secret under more than 100 sweeping in the act. “SCOTCH BUY ORANGE JUICE 69° REGULAR OR DIET COCA-COLA rite Many of the early applications for information fell under the muck-raking category. For example, the Toronto Star obtained one of the first pieces of information under the act in July, when it discovered taxpayers spent more than $160,000 in fiscal 1981-82 to maintain Trudeau's two official residences and to feed and house him and his family. PAID FOR POOL Soon afterward The Cand@dian Press learned taxpayers contributed $25,677 toward building the swimming pool at 24 Sussex Drive in 1975. But it was told the names of private donors and the amount they each contributed were held by a private trustee in Toronto. The Star also found out cabinet ministers made 216 trips on government aircraft between April 1 and July 1 last year, led by Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan, who made 21 trips. The ministers weren't always alone. Transport Minister Lloyd Axworthy took his live-in girlfriend and her two children on two trips; Industry Minister Ed Lumley took his wife along; and Solicitor General Robert CP has also obtained edited copies of reports by the federal prison i at riots at A i Matsqui and Stony Mountain prisons. Earlier this month the Vancouver Province received documents showing the government knowingly sponsor- ed research in which unsuspecting patients were used as guinea pigs in mind-altering experiments years before the CIA became involved. DENIED MATERIAL What sort of information is being’ denied? CP asked the Justice Department for documents showing how the Charter of Rights affects the rights of homosexuals but was told such information does not exist. It asked the same department for the titles of all federal laws that must be revised because of the Charter and was told the list is a cabinet document. The Calgary Herald was denied, among other things, records outlining how promised federal funding for the 1988 Winter Olympics to be distributed, records concerning doctors who are prohibited from prescribing narcotic drugs and copies of the estimated financial per- formance of the National Sports Pool. The Star couldn't get cabinet discussion papers leading up to the six-and-five program, but was told it could have some background papers for $414.25. TIDE LAUNDRY DETERGENT $448 Women smoke Many young women may The federal department's to shed pounds per cent of boys and young appetite, say federal re- thurder rate takes a jump. - The cases have, however, adhered to one of thé few clear patterns in down-East violence — that it occurs most often am relatives, friends, peighbors.and lovers. So far this year, seven people have been slain in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and charges have been laid in each case. There are usually about 12 or 13 murders a year in each province. The hideous discovery of two mutilated bodies at a dump outside Saint John, the killing of a mother and two of her sons outside Halifax, the finding of a woman's body- under the floorboards of a house in northern New Brunswick and the beating death of a man on a roadside in northern Nova Scotia have all happened over the course of five or six weeks. Coupled with more than a dozenother trials now in the news from killings last year, the refrain that the East is a safe place to live may sound strained. REMAINS SAFE But it is safe, criminologists say, though it's of no comfort to grieving families. : Murder rates in the Atlantic provinces are the lowest in the‘country and the incidence of all violent crime remains significantly below the national average. Rates in the Western provinces are the highest, reaching 3.78 murders per 100,000 people in British Columbia compared to 1.98 in Ontario, 2.79 in Quebec, 1.17 in Nova Scotia and a low of .68 in Newfoundland. That was in 1981, when the 599 murders in Canada made up a national rate of 2.48 murders per 100,000. Robert Kaill, director of the Atlantic Institute of Crim- inology in Halifax, says the Atlantic provinces remain mostly free of so-called instrumental murders — purposeful killings involving hit men, loan sharks and other gangland- type slayings seen in major U.S. cities and to some extent in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. start smoking because they want to control their weight, suggests information collec- survey indicates 60 per cent of girls and young women are GOLDEN RIPE BANANAS - 55°/4.°1 Save $1.91. ted by Health and Welfare YeTY concerned about their 24 kg Box....... wena Canada. weight, compared with 39 EVAPORATED Pacific.

The survey indicates 23 per cent of females aged 10 to 19 smoke at least occasion. ally, compared with only 17 per cent of males in the same age group. The implication is that many young women who are concerned about their weight are using tobacco to suppress searchers. If ‘such is the case, the researchers say it may be “because tobacco companies regularly reinforce the con- nection between smoking and slimness in their advertis- ing. Rather than smoking, those concerned about their weight should exercise regu- larly, say researchers, since “regular activity can sup- press appetite in addition to its other beneficial effects.” Answer to Sunday, Feb. 26, Cryptoquip: WISE ROMAN WEATHERMAN’S CALM REPORT Also, the region generally lacks “incidental” violence, the kind, associated with robberies or break and enter when the criminal does not plan to hurt anyone but is confronted. IT’S WHO YOU KNOW In short, the chances of being hurt by strangers are remote in Eastern Canada, Kaill says, but it’s a different story with people who know each other. In the more than 15 murder cases before the courts in the Atlantic provinces sjnce Jan. 1, almost all the people charged or convicted were related to the victims, lived with them or knew them well. Pacemakers may be faulty TORONTO (CP) — About 940 Canadian heart-pacer users may have a faulty con- necting lead in the life- saving device and should contact their doctors imed- idiately, says the U.S. man- ufacturer of the lead. Medtronic of Canada Ltd. has warned doctors and hos- pitals that heart patients with Medtronic model num- ber 6972 bipolar lead should be checked monthly as the failure rate of the lead is 10 times greater than other models on the market. The model was sold between December 1979 and Febru- ary 1982. emphasized there should be no problem with the leads as long as they are monitored. The problem is not “life- threatening” and the pace- makers do not have to be re- moved, Jones said. The problems with the lead have caused a shorting of the current, making the patient's heart miss a beat and giving them a dizzy feeling. In some cases, body fluids have got under the metal tip at the end of the lead and in others the lead has cracked, causing the shorting, he said. About 18,000 leads were sold in the United States and an estimated 940 are im- planted in Canadians.
