Following the sit-in, most of the students decided to go home for the day. At noon, a few dozen students remained in the school, playing floor hockey in the gymnasium under a teacher's supervision. Tuesday's actions by the students followed a walkout Monday. Students entering Mount Elizabeth secondary school which involves teachers on a work-to-rule campaign after the school board refused, for budget reasons, to replace 4" teaching positions made vacant by teachers on maternity leave. ‘The teachers and school board chairman Bev : agreed the students are probably frustrated’ with the situation. According to the student group's pamphlet they are distressed by the general cutbacks in education funding, which is also the root cause of the local feud over maternity leave. for a d i ize the P caused by however, our parents are still Monday morning were given leaflets by a calling itself S fora The di then assembled in the gym, and after seme speeches and discussion 1,100 of the school's population of 1,200 walked out. “Basically we did it because of the cutbacks that Victoria is sending to Kitimat,” said committee spokesman Tim Amenhauser. Amenhauser said the students will go back to their classes today. “But if some action is not taken by Saturday then we will go out Monday and stay out until they can come to some kind of an agreement.” Amenhauser is a senior student and a basketball player on the high school team. He is not on the student council and he has never been involved in politics. But he said he and others became fed up when their extra-curricular activities were cancelled because of a dispute between the teachers and the school board. paying taxes and supporting the local school district. If Victoria is not going to properly administer our tax dollars, then let's take action against them and not against our- selves,” the pamphlet says. Amenhauser said his parents are behind him and he had had calls from other students’ parents who support their actions. Principal Pat Meehan said Monday he had met with the students and asked them to return to class. He said he is not yet considering disciplinary actions. The teachers decided last week to begin their work-to-rule campaign Monday by refusing to take part in voluntary extra-curricular activities such as supervising dances and coaching school sports. Steve Cardwell, president of the Kitimat Teachers’ i said the hi next Monday when teachers will refuse to do other things such as supervising recesses, lunch breaks, the hallways, buses and other areas. skies mai should be near -1°.

Ocluon Gan Agricultural Credit Branch Ministry of Victoria, B.C Agriculture and Food V@W 227 They say they are not taking sides in that dispute, Clark has OTTAWA (CP) — Exter- nal Affairs Minister Joe Clark said Tuesday that Can- ada has “a firm guarantee” the United States won't put nuclear weapons in Canada without permission in the event of war. Responding to questions in the Commons from Pauline Jewett, NDP foreign affairs critic, Clark said this doesn’t represent any shift in long- standing government policy against basing nuclear wea- pons in Canada. “The policy of the govern- ment of Canada is, as it has been, that there will not be nuclear weapons on Canadian soil,” Clark said. “The guarantee of that is that we have sought and we have received from the United "States assurance that before any plans that they might have or that they might develop which would affect Canadian territory are implemented there would not only be consultation but there would be the right to refuse in Canada. “This government, if we considered it in the interests of Canada, would exercise that right to refuse.” The issue of basing U.S. nuclear weapons in Canada arose two weeks ago when a Washington-based defence researcher made public a U.S. document signed by President Ronald Reagan. It outlined contingency plans for putting 32 nuclear depth charges in Canada in the event of war. Defence Minister Robert Coates, who avoided report- ers for a second consecutive day Tuesday, said first that he knew nothing about the U.S. plan, then said it was an expired program approved Clark defends Canada’s stand OTTAWA (CP) — Exter- nal Affairs Minister Joe Clark, under Commons op- position fire for refusing to oppose U.S. research on space-based missile defences, declared Tuesday he will do nothing to hinder forthcom. ing U.S.-Soviet arms talks. “We have made an inde- pendent judgment that it would not be helpful for us, or indeed for other countries, to try to put items on the agenda that might have the effect of turning the success- ful arms talks off the rails,” he told Liberal MP Lloyd Axworthy. Axworthy and Liberal Leader John Turner pressed Clark to reverse his »pproval for Star Wars research — outlined in a statement to the Commons a day earlier — as a “prudent” measure pending the resumption of U.S.-Sovi- et nuclear arms control talks. Turner said Clark is aban- doning the popular personal peace initiative of former Liberal prime minister Pi erre Trudeau by refusing to ask that the Star Wars pro- gram — officially called the strategic defence initiative by President Ronald-Reagan — be on the agenda for superpower arms talks.

Axworthy, member for Winnipeg-Fort Garry, said Clark was defying “the inter- ests and sentiments of Can- adians” by refusing to clearly oppose an expansion of the nuclear arms race into space. But Clark, replying heat edly to the Liberal charges, said he had no intention of yielding to “natural partisan temptation” to try to make political points on the issue. OUTSIDE CRITICISM Criticism of the Conser vative government's position of supporting Star Wars re- search but not deployment is coming not only from oppo- sition MPs but also from pri- vate research organizations, including the Ottawa-based Canadian Centre for Arms Control and Disarmament. John Lamb, executive dir ector of the arms control body, called a news con ference Tuesday to denounce “a policy of complacency” to- ward the space defence con cept. He said “it is clear that Star Wars would severely upset the balance of East- West deterrence and in- crease the likelihood of nu clear war.” format.

He later amend- ed that to say there has been no such emergency U.S. plan since 1975. Jewett pointed out that the memorandum made pub- lie by William Arkin, director of nuclear weapons’ research at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, was dated March, 1984. Arkin said it is reviewed annually. The last nuclear weapons ‘guarantee’ in Canada were removed last July when Genie air-toair missiles under U.S, control were taken back to the United States. Prime Mini. ster Brian Mulroney said then that no further nuclear weapons would be based in Canada. Arkin says there are U.S. plans to put nuclear weapons in Canada, Bermuda, the Azores, Puerto Rico, Spain, the Philippines, Diego Garcia and Iceland during times of international military crisis. Tory attacks Macs OTTAWA (CP) — Burger King may have flame-broiled doubles but McDonald's has Petro-Canada and one Tory back-bencher doesn't like it one bite. In the Commons on Tues- day, Montreal MP Vincent Della Noce asked Energy Minister Pat Carney about Petro-Canada's latest adver tising campaign offering mo- torists a coupon worth $1 on the purchase of a Big Mac in return for a fill-up. The MP, who believes Petro-Canada should be forced to sell its 2,600 service stations, said the company is spending $10 million on the promotion. Carney said the deal with McDonald's was worked out by Petro-Canada's old board of directors, appointed by the former Liberal government. She said the Conservative government believes Crown corporations should be run in the same way as their private sector competitors, which have also made deals with Police file See The Portuguese Social Centre on Front Street was broken into Monday.

Sauna caused death By CasNews Staff A coroner's inquiry has ruled that a 72-year-old Shoreacres woman died as a result of heat exhaustion in an overheated sauna. Coroner Paul Oglow also ruled that no foul play is sus. pected in the Nov. 23 death of Mary Kalmakoff. Oglow made four recom mendations: @ that no saunas be allowed without approved timers. © no saunas be approved unless the doors open out e@ sauna doors be fitted with a touch latch for easy opening. © warning signs be placed on saunas reading “Keep vents open when sauna in use.” Oglow said, “The heat was turned too high” in the sauna in which Kalmakoff died. As well, he said a timer would allow sauna users to know how long they have been in. Oglow said he made the recommendation about the doors opening out because “there are a lot of them that have the doors opening in — steam baths and saunas.” Jim Carter, deputy minister of edu cation. The report will be made public at the same time it is released to the committee. Wayling said the projected date for release of the report is May 15.

The Vancouver edition of Western Living carries a four-page spread on the Arrow Lakes called Arrow Lakes Revisited. Author John Kirkwood travelled back to the communities of Nakusp and Edgewood after a 23-year absence. He looks at the before andafter effects of the Hugh Keenk Dam on the “In 1960, an angry and seemingly endless controversy raged in the valley over the provincial government's scheme to construct the Hi Arrow Dam on the Columbia River near Castlegar,” writes Kirkwood. However, he says he wasn't disappointed with the present-day Arrow Lakes region. “The lakes are not quite the same, but there's an awful lot left that is good. The spirit of the community remains. The gentle mood of the valley survives, and the people still warmly welcome the visitor.” LAST WEEK WE mentioned that there were two photographs of Castlegar in A Day in the Life of Canada — the coffee-table-style book showing the country in pictures. We were wrong. There are four photographs. The two not mentioned include a picture of a school dance at Kinnaird Junior y and a young ified couple having fun on Friday night.

MICHAEL JACKSON'S “negative influence on young people” is the reason public posters of the singer have been banned in the United Arab Emirates, an official said Tuesday. The director of the Ras al-Khaimah municipality, Mubarak Quhaiter, said his officers are making sure the the news on both sides to save it,” Tillis said. “For the first time in my life, I contemplated suicide.” Tillis and his first wife were divorced in 1977. PRIME MINISTER Brian Mulroney has that personal touch. Just ask Charles and Polly In a recent Ottawa ,Beniay Herald column, King d that card, a hot item posters are removed from public places, stores selling audio and video tapes and records. Violators risk having their stories closed. Quhaiter said the decision was made “as part of the efforts to protect young people from imitating negative alien behavior.” Posters and tapes of Jackson and his songs, along with his dress and hair style, are popular in much of the Middle East. ENTERTAINER MEL Tillis says in his autobiography that he contemplated suicide about eight years ago when his marriage broke up. The singer-songwriter-actor writes in Stutterin’ Boy that he “quickly put that out of my mind” because he had more than 75 people working for him at the time and depending on him for a living. He also said he lacked the nerve. “My marriage was all but over — too much stubborness during the holiday season, was addressed only to Mr. King — with no mention of his wife. So imagine their surprise when the phone rang on New Year's Day and a familiar voice identified himself as Brian, just calling to make amends for the oversight and to wish . Polly a Happy New Year. Not only did the Kings have a friendly chat with Mulroney, who was on vacation with his family at Harrington Lake — the children love it there, he said — but after he had wished them both a happy holiday, he put wife Milla on the phone for a chat. HE'S GOT you, babe. Entertainer, Cher, formerly half of the singing duo Sonny and Cher, heads the annual list of the 10 worst-dressed women issued Tuesday by fashion designer Richard Blackwell.
