Saskatchewan, have. an- swered the call. The other 21 nurses are'from Alberta. “We're very pleased with that response,” Harrison said in a telephone. interview Saturday. “We can use every pair of hands we can get.” HALIFAX (CP) — Green- peace has been told it may ’ not leave port on an anti- sealing mission aboard the Rainbow Warrior until pay- ing a $400 fine levied Friday against the environmentalist" group for a customs violation that occurred last year. But Patrick Moore, Cana- dian director of Greenpeace | International, said.

Foothills was struggling to meet the needs of the city and most of southern Alberta with 21 intensive-care beds, ‘about one-third the normal complement for Calgary, be- fore the additional nurses made it possible to open more beds, PAID THEIR FARES Harrison had asked hospi- tals in other provinces to lend thelr nurses to Foothills for ters but said even if it amounted to only two cents, they would it.

Vigue is Castlegar’s animal control officer and Castlegar ; council learned this week he’s been verbally abused and physically: threatened during -‘the course of his duties. Ald. Doug MacKinnon chairman of. the: protective services committee, said Vigue has had “a problem with ... being abused — both verbally and with threats.” But that should end now. MacKinnon asked that the RCMP ‘be available ‘to pro- vide assistance for Vigue “when faced with such situ- ations in future, and council agreed. Meanwhile, MacKinnon al- so said there will be a new wrinkle for dealing with ani- mal contro] violations. He said Vigue will issue a ticket similar to a parking ticket. If the ticket’is. paid within seven days, the fine will be lower than if council is forced to send the case to court. Elsewhere, council decided to write-off about $400 in outstanding tickets. The overdue tickets were issued before council switched to its, new system last September. advised us toleave as quickly as possible. A pilot took us out of the harbor and they don't pilot illegal ships around.” Moore said his group will spend the weekend talking to the Greenpeace members in Amsterdam and London who were responsible for the ship last year and who may have the documents, which verify proper clearance of customs. He said they would also talk to U.S, customs officers in the port of Boston which Y the vessel entered after it left St. John's last year. “Boston would not have cleared us in if we had not been properly cleared out of St. John’s.” The papers served by cus- toms officers Friday refer only to improper clearance of customs and do not state specific’. violations. Moore said he would try to get the details from customs officers St. John’s. Ho said federal authorities were simply trying to har- rass the protesters and won- ... dered why no effort had been made to do anything about the violation until a year af- ter it supposedly occurred. Moore acknowledged that severe wind and snow con- ditions in the area of the Gulf hunt, around the Isles-de-le- Madeleine — also known as the Magdalen Islands — might. have precluded a weekend sailing anyway. The bad.weather, which also could delay the start of the Gulf hunt, scheduled for Monday, has given the pro- Hospital in dmonton— cal Holy Cross and Grace Hos- pitals in Calgary.

Space could be pro- vided for more by moving the © healthiest babies to other Calgary hospitals, Anne ~Parschauer, ‘a: spokesman for’ the United Nurses of Alberta,’ said the union hasn't heard’ from the Alberta Hospital Association, which bargains for the hos- pitals,; since negotiations broke off earlier this week. Parschauer also said she didn’t think any striking nurses were included in the ‘21 from Alberta who res- ponded to the Foothills’ plea for help. A disputes inquiry report recommended a 25-per-cent wage increase for nurses this year and an increase in 1983 equal to the rise in the 1982 Consumer Price Index.

Catholic bis- hops, in their strongest state- . :ment since martial law was imposed, on Saturday urged Communist leaders to end military rule ‘and begin a dialogue’ with Solidarity .to avoid “catas- trophe.” The statement, drafted at a twoday meeting of the episcopate that ended Fri- day, was the church's most forceful plea to date for re- viving the only independent. union in the Communist bloc, ending martial law and free- ing some 4,000 people in- * terned under’ military regu- lations. “The situation in which the country and nation finds it- . self bears all the markings of a true moral, social and econ- omic catastrophe,” said the communique, which has dis- tributed to western corres- pondents. “The bishops and all of so- ciety expect at the very earl- fest the lifting of martial law, the release of interned per- sons and ‘the amnesty for those convicted of martial law offenses.” OPEN DIALOGUE The 60 bishops from across Poland, where 80 to 90 per cent of the 86 million people are Catholic, strongly en- dorsed renewed efforts by “Parties of the social cov- enant are the ruling author- ities and reliable represen- tatives of organized social groups,” the bishops said. “Represenatives of the tem- porarily suspended trade unions cannot be absent, in- cluding Solidarity, which en- joys wide public approval.” The bishops also called for a reactivation of youth or- ganizations and suspended Catholic groups. “The episcopate considers it its mission at this moment to call for the creation of & social covenant for the good of the entire nation,” the statement said. “It must be based on truth, justice, free- dom and love.” The statement by the bis- hops was their first since Poland’s primate, Archbis- hop Jozef Glemp returned two weeks ago from the Vatican where he met with Polish-born Pope John Paul to discuss martial law.

Carpenter said the wing was lost because of repeated overstress of the aircraft. He recommended the dangers of overstressing aircraft should be advertised by the ministry as part of its effort to improve airmanship among light aircraft pilots. He also said the accident, a vivid illustration of the result of exceeding the aircraft manufacturer's limitations, should receive the highest possible circulation among light aircraft pilots and oper- ators.
