aspects of the program.

portunity to become better
aquainted with the events
planned for Saturday and
Sunday.

Deadly substance

QUESNEL (CP) — A dead-
ly sutistance is aboard a h

* copter missing since Monday,

a search and rescue spokes-
man said: Thursday,
The spokesman said one

drop of the chemical, an ani- *

mal tranquilizer called etor-
thine hydrochloride, can killa
person. About 40 millilitres
are on.the craft.

The helicopter, with four
men aboard, was on a flight
from Lillooet to Williams
Uake in the Southern Cari-

sora of the lethal cargo
was not reported until three
days after. the helicopter
went missing.

In Victorin deputy envir-
onment minister Ben Marr

on ‘downed copter

said he does not think the
chemical poses a. danger.
Marr said the morphine deri-
vitive is in pellet form and is

- given to animals with a dart

gun,

He said if the tranquillizer
isn’t deadly to sheep, he can't
see why it woudld be deadly
to people.

Don Robinson, director of
the provincial fish and wild-
life branch, said the chemical
is deadly but he would be
surprised if it poses « prob-
lem.

The quid chemical is in
vials in ig cases. He
said at least one of the four
men on the aircraft has been
trained in its handling.

Sir Ford's
Rolls has
got to go
OTTAWA (CP) — Pity
poor Sir John Ford.
~The British high com-
missioner is forced to use a°

nine-year-old car that has
been driven 140,000 kilo-

motres and gets anly 12.8 |.

High commission offi-
clals say they will “not
even consider anything
less than $26,000”. for the
1972 Rolls Royee Bilver
Shadow,

Ford's Rolls is not just
any Rolls, It's a two-tonne,
six-metre-long, monster
with an extra-long wheel
base, bullet-proof windows
‘and one-centimetre-thick
steel armor plating. .

It also has power steer-
ing, power windows and
locks, leather seats, cruise
,control, a bullet-proof
shield: between the front
and-back seats and sepa-
rate air conditioning and
stereo sound systems in
the front and back.-

Oh yes, it also seats five
comfortably.

The mechanical -be-
hemoth has been used by
dozens of visiting British
| cabinet ministers but after
nine winters of service on
Ottawa’s heavily-salted
streets it’s not quite the
Rolls it used to be,

There is a little ruse on
the fenders.

“The high commissioner
has to have a car that you
can take to Toronto or
Monteal and not worry
about. car trouble,” said
chauffeur Peter St, Louis,

“Appearance is also im-
portant and although the
Rolls is still in good shape,.
nine years is a long time to
be driving one car.”

Pity poor Sir Jhn, He is
reduced to using a 1980
Jaguar XJ6 around town.
