Nine diamonds for only the Blackman not guilty: NEW WESTMINSTER (CP) — A B.C.

Because of the unusual Blackman, 23, smiled when the verdict was handed down.

Cars parked on the side of the road near the ferry landing resemble the traffic for a mid-summer ball tournament. Glade residents are waiting for rides from power boats on either side of the Kootenay River in order to get to work or school.

Court upholds injunction VANCOUVER (CP) — An application by the B.C Gov- ‘ernment Employees Union to set aside an injunction ban- ning picketing at courts throughout the province was dismissed Friday after two days of legal argument. B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Allan McEachern said the submissions made to him had helped him arrive at a clearer view of the issue but had not changed his view. The judge said he would prepare written reasons for his ruling on this case, “one of the most important to come before the courts in some time.” Lawyers for the union and for B.C.'s Attorney General have already set an appoint-, ment to meet with the chief justice of the B.C. Court of Appeal, Nathan Nemetz, to arrange an appeal court hearing of McEachern's rul- ing. B.G. Law Union spokes- man Craig Paterson was ear- lier denied legal ding to him to deny the application. He said the judiciary is and ind 4 argue the case. McEach said the voluntary associ- ation of lawyers and its members had no special rights above those of any citizen in the province to present their views on the injunction issue. REPRESENTS PUBLIC Lawyer Jack Giles, who appeared in the case as an ‘appointee of the attorney general acting as a friend of the court, is deemed to represent the views of all citizens, including the law union, whether the law union agrees with the views Giles presents, the chief justice said. Though he did not wish his comments to be taken as his reasons for judgment, the judge cited several general Propositions that persuaded from the | and ex- ecutive branches of govern- ment and has the respon- sibility to uphold all the courts in the province. He said the legislature cannot abrogate the powers of the judiciary and nothing less than an express constitu- tional d could Giles spent more than two hours persuading McEachern that he was correct in issuing the injunction. Giles said the sole issue is whether the picketing that gave rise to the injunction was criminal. He submitted in his argu- ment that picketing impeding access to the courts was doubtless criminal contempt and therefore the court was change that. to make an order banning it. |Search called off | WASHINGTON (REUT- ER) — The U.S. government said Saturday it is calling off its search in the Sea of Japan for wreckage from a South Korean airliner shot down by the Soviet Union on Sept. 1.
