Crowds attend tea

The Senior Citizens’ hall
was full to capacity soon after
the doors were opened for
the annual fall tea and bazaar
Oct, 28. First vice-president
Florence Laycock introduced
Mayor Audrey Moore
promptly at 2 p.m. and she
officially opened the affair
with a few well-chosen words
of welcome to all comers.

It would be impossible to
name all the members who
donated baked goods, hand-
made articles and other
items, but special mention
must be made of those who
worked hard all afternoon to
serve the 225 teas and clear

out so much of the sale
tables.

Mrs. Jessie Donnan was
general convenor for the
event. The kitchen was
headed by Mrs. Peggy New-
man, with Mmes. Evelyn
Batchelor, Florence Laycock
and Mary Lebedoff helping
cut squares and fill plates.

The teas they prepared
were served by Mrs. Frances
Hunter with her team of
Mmes. Marge Dulsrud, Peg-
gy King, Louise Ferwarn,
Mary Negraeff and Leora
Nutter. Mrs. Margaret Ford
was in charge of the bake
table, with helpers Mmes.

Phyllis Melnick, Jean Fitz-
patrick, Rose Johnson and
Nora Popoff,

Mmes. Helen Peddle and
Ruth Maze manned the white
elephant table; while Mrs.
Helen Bonacci, assisted by
Mmes.

On duty at the door to sell
tickets and keep track of at-
tendance were Mmes. Mil-
dred Brady and Jean Stone.

When it came time to draw
for the door prize, Ernie
Newman called on Mrs. Dul-
srud to dig for the lucky
name. The winner was Mrs.
Signe Englund.

“BACK TO
THE JUNGLE
IN GRENADA

Alister Hughes, 64, publisher of the Grenada
Newsletter and Grenada correspondent for The Asso-
ciated Press, was harassed by two previous governments
for his challenges to their restriction of the news media,
He then spent a week in prison under Grenada’s
short-lived army junta. Here is the story of his recent
harrowing days on the island.

By ALISTER HUGHES

8ST. GEORGE'S (AP) — From the moment the troops
opened fire on the people at Fort Rupert, our little island
of Grenada slipped back under the law of the jungle. :

That moment came on Wednesday, Oct. 19, a week
after Prime Minister Maurice Bishop had been put under
house arrest by military leaders and dissidents in the
governing Marxist party, the New Jewel Movement.

On the morning of Oct. 19, crowds gathered here in
the capital, led by Foreign Minister Unison Whiteman.
Using a loudspeaker in the market square, Whiteman
told about 2,000 people they were going to Bishop's

official residence to rescue hi:

arrived. Apparently he had gone up to Fort Rupert, the

h up at the

fort, about a quarter-mile away. They sounded like
rockets.

The market square crowd, frightened, ran off into
side streets. I went to the esplanade, closer to the fort.
About an hour later, I saw a woman with a bullet wound
in her left shoulder, and then a small girl who was

hysterical and who spoke of

people being killed.

The explosions are significant. The story told later
that night by Hudson Austin, head of the military council
that took charge, was that Bishop had armed the crowd,
it fired on People’s Revolutionary Army troops at the
fort, killing two, and then army returned the fire.

But the tw i

the soldiers fired on the crowd without warning.

Ido not know how many

were killed that day. Some

died because they tried to get down from the fort in panic
and fell down a 50-foot drop. Even into the next day they
were finding bodies down below.

Nor do I know why Bishop went to Fort Rupert.

Perhaps. it was because some of his cabinet ministers
were being held there and he wanted to take them with
him to the market square. I later learned Bishop and
some of the ministers were executed.

After my wife, Cynthia, and I listened to Austin on

the radio that night, there was a knock at my front door

development was moving
down B.C. Rail's new branch
line Tuesday.

Provincial Industry Minis-
ter Don Phillips drove the
last spike into the $4655-
million electrified branch line
which will transport the
5,000 tonnes of coal to the
Ridley Island port facility at
Prince Rupert on the north
coast for shipment to Japan.

B.C. Rail President Mac
Norris said he was delighted
that the branch line was
completed a month early.

“It’s a great day for the
railway,”: Norris said. “It's
good to see it all coming to-
gether in such a short time,
and it reflects the enthusiasm
and expertise of all con-
cerned with the project.”

10 per cent funding cut

municipal grants for the next
fiscal year, says Castlegar
Mayor Audrey Moore, pres-
ident of the municipal group.
She said the unconditional

revenue of the average muni-
cipality, which means the re-

Court victory for
metric fighters

TORONTO (CP) — A case
against two gas station own-
ers charged with violating
Canada’s metric laws by sell-
ing gasoline in gallons was
thrown out of court Tuesday
by a provincial court judge.

Judge William Ross, slam-
ming the federal gas inspec-
tors’ “Draconian” powers to
seal gas pumps and deprive a
citizen of his livelihood, also
ordered the federal govern-
ment to pay the defendants’
legal costs.

In a strongly worded ad-
dress that lasted almost two
hours, Ross said the onus
should not be on the indi-
vidual to prove his innocence
in court.

Jack Halpert, 57, and Ray
Christiansen, 21, were
charged with one count of vi-
olating the Weights and
Measures Act by selling gas-
oline in gallons.

Halpert had been charged
with another nine counts of
breaking government gaso-

line pump seals, while Chris-
tiansen, owner of six Toronto
area gas stations, was
charged with three similar
offences.

Defence lawyer Edward
Greenspan said the judgment
is the first, to his knowledge,
to cite the Charter of Rights
in the awarding of court
costs.

The judge's order proves
the federal government can-

not go ahead with “needless, |

senseless prosecutions,”
Greenspan said.

“What they did was harm-

less,” Greenspan said follow-
ing the decision. “It's time
for the government to take
a long hard look.”

“It's such a simple thing to
do. All they have to say is:
‘Do what you want.’ Metric
will win in the end, but let it
win in a democratic way.
Give people the freedom to
think, act, and do their trade
in their own way.”
