In June, the corporation
went to court to reeover

of a Vancouver arta

over $4,000. were made over a
period of two years ending in
in May:

The corporation also
named the former adjuster’s
wife on the writ because he
sold his house to her for $1 on
June 4.

Police are investigating
that case — and corporation
officials say they may be
called in again to look into the

There's good news for
gardeners and lawn waterers
living in Robson and Rasp-
berry.

A lift om an outdoor
watering ban — which was
started Saturday — was
scheduled to go into effect
today, when a defective part
in the irrigation system of
the Robson and Raspberry
Irrigation District was to be
replaced.

A pipe in the sytem's
ultra-violet section, which
disinfects and purifies the
water, burst Saturday, said
Bill Kelley, secretary to the

district trustees.

Kelley said this part of the
water system had to be
bypassed through a pipe with
a narrower diameter, which
in turn meant water use has
to be temporarily restricted.

Kelley said he has “no
idea” why the pipe burst.
“It's just one of those mech-
anica] failures, I suppose.”

The burst section of pipe
was ordered from Vaneo
uver, and was to arrive
Tuesday or today. The repair

would “most probably” be
made today, Kelley said
Tuesday.

Hughes aid
calls foul

VANCOUVER (CP) — A
San Diego, Calif., lawyer said
he intends to seek dismissal
of murder charges against
former Howard Hughes aide
John Meier this week be
cause of “blatant attempts to
deny him natural justice.”

“Meier has a right to a
quick and speedy trial,” law
yer Earl Durham said in an
interview.

“What has happened to
him is unprecedented. He is
entitled to a pre!
hearing within 60 days of ar-
raignment yet he has been
kept in jail since December.”

Durham said Meier is also
being denied the right to an
effective defence because the

associate Alfred Wayne Net-
ter. Netter died in November

1974 after being repeatedly
stabbed. His body was found
in a Beverley Hills hotel.

OTTAWA (CP) — Senator
Keith Davey, long considered
the Liberal party's most
astute political operator, has
cut short his semi-retirement
and returned to the front
lines to help Prime Minister
Turner's flagging election
bid.

Davey, one of Pierre Tru-
deau’s closest associates and
the mastermind behind Lib-
eral campaigns for most of
the past 12 years, was named
cochairman of the Turner
campaign Tuesday, joining
Finance Minister Mare La-
londe, Consumer Affairs Min-
ister Judy Erola and Izzy
Asper, a former Manitoba
Libera! leader, all of whom
already hold similar titles as
co-chairmen.

Turner, who promised tc
put a fresh face on the party
when he became Liberal
leader in mid-June, was
clearly uncomfortable about
linking himself with one of
Trudeau's top backroom boys
and initially refused to dis

cuss the appointment with

reporters.

Campaiging in British Col-
umbia, Turner sent press
secretary Dennis Baxter to
say Davey is a “welcome ad-
dition to the organization.”

“I need his advice,” Turner
acknowledged later. But he
continued to maintain, as he
did during his Liberal lead-
ership bid, that his team will
have “no rainmakers” — a
nickname Davey won for his
ability to reverse bleak elec-
toral circumstances.

“It's an open campaign but
I'm using all the talent I can
find,” said Turner. “Senator
Davey has been helping me
for a number of weeks since |
won the leadership but I'm in
charge of the campaign.”

Conservative Leader Brian
Mulroney, en route to a cam
paign meeting in Moncton,
N.B., was quick to seize on
the Davey appointment as
evidence Turner has failed to
freshen up the old Trudeau
team.

“I can't think of anything
that symbolizes the past
more than Senator Davey
being resurrected to come
back and run the Liberal
campaign,” said Mulroney.

A senior Liberal worker
who asked not to be iden-
tified said Davey’s appoint.
ment, only months after the
58-year-old senator announc
ed he would not organize the
campaign for a fall election,
indicates Turner's team has
finally realized it needs ex-
perienced help.

But party president Iona
Campagnolo disagreed, say
ing Davey's involvement in
the campaign leading up to
the Sept. 4 vote was just a
matter of time.

“He (Davey) happens to be
the best professional poli-
tician in our party,” she said
in a telephone interview from
British Columbia, where she
is seeking election in North
Vancouver-Burnaby riding.
Campagnolo, cautioning
Mulroney to count the few

Davey to help Turner

new faces on his own team

have attracted 26 first-time
candidates out of a total 28.

She and other Liberals de-
fended the Davey appoint-
ment by saying it is un-
realistic to suggest Turner
must dissociate himself from
an entire generation of party
workers to implement
change.

Turner is an “imminently
practical man,”
said, and he made a wise
decision when he enlisted
Davey, the organizer respon-
sible over the years for
giving the Liberals two maj-
ority governments, two
minority victories and only
two slim defeats.

Furthermore, she said, the
campaign will still be under
the direction of national cam-
paign director Bill Lee, a pol-
itical neweomer who left his
Ottawa consulting firm to
run Turner's leadership cam-
paign earlier this year.

Son thanked policeman for
arresting father 43 years ago

HALIFAX (CP) — An
epaulette taken from the
uniform of a German prisoner
of war after his capture in the
city 43 years ago is back in
the family

And the policeman who
captured Peter Schierning
and took the epaulette ag a
souvenier was thanked for
the arrest on Tuesday by
Schierning’s son, Christian,
21, a German sailor.

Sehierning and Roy Mon.
tague, a retired police ser.
geant, met to discuss the
capture of the bomber pilot,
whose daring escape from a

prison ship docked in Halifax
grabbed the headlines in local
newspapers.

“Thank you for arresting
my father,” Schierning told
Montague, 72. “Without your
help he might not be alive to-
day.”

Prisoners of war were
often killed in action when
they returned to Germany,
said Scierning, who remained
in Halifax in June when his
tall ship left with a fleet of 50
others.

He said he wanted to trace
the steps of his father's

Man who won
jackpot dead

BRANTFORD, ONT. (CP)
— The funeral service for
Stuart Kelly will be as pri
vate as the life he led since he
and his wife won a $13.9
million lottery last January.

Kelly, who died Sunday at
57, was said to have had
cancer but his family lawyer
would neither confirm that
report nor say when or
where the funeral would be
held. A statement may be re-
leased today, the lawyer said.

A relative, who asked not
to be identified, said Kelly
learned he had a terminal
illness shortly after winning
the Lotto 649 jackpot Jan.
14, the biggest-ever tax-free
lottery in Canada.

It seemed to be a Cin
derella-type story for the
childless, middle-class Brant-
ford couple, who said at the
time the windfall was too
much for anyone to win and
that they would give half
their new-found wealth to
relatives and charity.

Their lawyer, George Law-
rence, said Tuesday a foun-
dation set up by the couple
will start receiving applica-
tions from charities this year.

Kelly and his wife Lillian,
54, kept Canada in suspense
for 10 days before surfacing
to announce their big win.
Before picking up the cheque,
Kelly was a truck driver

“We're happy and the

he said. “We've got that now
and we hope we'll be able to
keep it.”

24-hour escape in the port
city.

“I never thought I would
meet anybody connected
with that PoW,” said Mon.
tague.

Montague said he took a
piece of the Luftwaffe uni-
form as a souvenir the day
after he arrested Schierning
walking along a city road,
disguised as a dock worker.

“Your father would prob-
ably like to have it back after
all these years,” he told

Christian.
SEWS A DISGUISE
The father, now 73 and

living in Germany, had craw
led down the dock lines of the
prison ship wearing coveralls
he had secretly sewn during
the trip across the Atlantic.

But two children spotted
the airman on Jan. 24, 1941,
and informed police of his
whereabouts.

“We got the call on the
one-way radio that the PoW
had been spotted,.” said
Montague. “Rosewell Feener
(his partner) was driving and
I was on the lookout.”

They were driving past s
group of dock workers when
Montague noticed one was
dressed oddly. He dashed
over to the man, pulled back
his lapel and saw the mark-
ings of a German officer.

“It was the garb that got
him. He just didn’t look
right.”

Schierning was sent to a
prison camp in Ontario for six
years before returning to
Germany.

“I did not look on him as
the enemy,” said Montague.
“He was friendly and more
like a poor guy in trouble.”

After returning to Ger
many, Schierning rejoined
the air force. Watercolors of
Halifax, painted from mem-
ory during his time in prison,
hang in his house.

“This is important for me
to know about my father's
life,” said his son, who plans
to fly back to Germany on
Monday. “My father often
talks of Halifax. He is not
bitter about the capture and
would like to meet Mr. Mon-
tague himself.”
