One of Fairbank's more important duties ,is to co-ordin ate the efforts of enumerators who will pound the pavement all over the riding July 27 - Aug. 2 to make sure all eligible voters are on electoral lists. While in rural areas an unregistered voter is still allowed to cast his ballot if another voter vouches for him. If someone wants to vote in an urban area, he has to be on the list or’ else he’s out of luck, according to Fairbank. ‘The last day for voters to be registered is Aug. 17, if they somehow have been missed by the enumerators. “I might say because the enumeration is being done during the vacation period, it is a little more difficult,” said Fairbank. “But we feel the elector should have some responsibility to make sure he's on the list,” she added. People who are unsure of whether they are on the list should either phone the office of any political party, who will register voters, or phone the returning officer's office at 352-7811.

More than 200 people from sevéral Polish organi- zations demonstrated at Robson Square Friday to alert Canadians to the suffering of their relatives and friends who have been arrested by the Polish government. Bogdan Czaykowski of the Association of Friends of Solidarity said four key members of the outlawed Polish trade union have been in jail for over two years without trial. PCBS FOUND WINNIPEG (CP) — As many as six Winnipeg Hydro workers were exposed to ben polychlorinated iphenyls after an rf day in a pit housing an underground transformer, said a Hydro:spokesman. Barry Stephenson, said the men were exposed while they were in the transformer pit Wednesday and most of Thursday. Trace levels of PCBs ranging from 140 to 190 ‘parts per million were found in coolant which leaked from the transformer after the explosion. HYDRO CUTTING STAFF VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C. Hydro will eut staff further and reduce capital expenditures in order to meet its finaneial goals over the next three years, chairman Bob Bonner said Friday “Our objective was to break even over the next three years but current load growth indicates that won't happen,” Bonner said in an interview. Bonner declined to say by how much staff and capital expenditures would be trimmed. Staff has already been reduced by 2,000 since July 1962. VANCOUVER BUS SERVICE VANCOUVER (CP) — A small private company seeking to operate a fleet of buses in Vancouver during the transit strike will ask the provincial government to clear the way for the service to start. David Lewis, Transpo 177 chairman, said Friday company directors will ask the government to amend the city’s charter to overrrule a city council decision that prevented the operation of 30 buses in and out of the downtown core. Council voted six to four this week to amend the Vehicle for Hire bylaw to restrict private bus services. UNREST CONTINUES LONDON (REUTER) — Britain's world trade was at a standstill Saturday as a dockers’ strike spread and other workers joined a rising tide of industrial unrest. Thousands of Britons began a vacation exodus to Europe to beat a threatened spreading of the strike to passenger ferries on Monday, starting with Dover, the busiest ferry port. Nine hours of negotiations Friday failed to settle the dispute, which began last Monday over the use of non-union labor at the northern port of Immigham. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government remained aloof from the dispute this weekend, but the threat to British trade appears acute. TRAIN CRASH KILLS 20 DICAVA, YUGOSLAVIA (AP) — A freight train plowed into an idling passenger train today with about 1,500 vacationers on board, killing at least 20 people and injuring 27 others, the state-run Tanjug news agency reported Earlier reports said at least 30 people were killed and 30 injured in the collision. Tanjug, citing unofficial reports, said the freight train engineer did not obey a stop signal at the entry to the station. The man was detained by authorities. OPPOSITION WINS ELECTION WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND (AP) Prime Minister Robert Muldoon conceded defeat Saturday as the Opposition Labor party swept into power on a landslide apparently fuelled by discontent with Muldoon's conservative policies and close U.S. defence ties. Muldoon, appearing grim, admitted defeat about two hours after the polls closed But the ousted leader said he intended to stay on as leader of the National party despite the massive swing against his government in favor of the New Zealand Labor party. Several cabinet ministers lost their seats in parli ament, and the early returns indicated Labor would have about a 20-seat majority in the 95-seat parliament. ORDINANCE VETOED MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — City council passed an ordinance Friday defining pornography as a violation of women's civil rights, but a vote to delay the ordinance led to a chanting, stomping demonstration and 25 arrests. The yor later vetoed the measure. 'm not particularly concerned,” Mayor Don Fraser said of the demonstration. “These are good folks and they're expressing themselves.” In vetoing the ordinance, Fraser said he thought the new ordinance was an improvement over the original version but he had questions about its constitutionality and didn’t believe the city should engage in a costly legal battle with court action already pending in a similar anti pornography measure in Indianapolils ARGENTINA APPROVES RAISE BUENOS AIRES (AP) — The Argentine govern ment, sticking to its plan to raise workers’ salaries above the rate of inflation, approved a 165.3-per-cent wage increase Friday An official communique said the increase repres ented a slight gain in real wages, since inflation for the six months of the year registered 158.9 per cent. The General Confederation of Labor, the powerful union coalition, immediately rejected the increase as too small and announced plans for a meeting of its executive board to plan a response. INDIA GIVEN POWERS NEW DELHI (AP) The Indian government, troubled by Sikh unrest in Punjab and insurgency in northeastern India, gave itself sweeping powers Saturday to declare areas “terrorist affected” and set up special courts. Ah ordinance signed by President Zail Singh said the powers-were designed to cope with security in certain parts of India where terrorist actions have made “peace- fol and proper conduct. of court work extremely difficult.” The specia) act applies to the whole country except the northern Himalayan state of Kashmir. No reason for Kashmir's exception was given. took the prime tale SREY by major se parties as \twlas and the politics aye = “baloney.” * ‘ The brief but explosive encounter came seconds after a Calgary reporter asked Turner how he expected to convince voters there is a difference between him and Mulroney, As ‘RCMP security guards watehed from the background, # man who had been hovering behind the reporters shouted that Canadians have no choice. “The Conservatives, the Liberals, it’s all patronage, it's all baloney,” yelled the man, with a family in tow. “What does that mean?” replied a startled Turner, who then added: “It's a free country.” By coincidence, Turner earlier in the day was defending his controversial appointment of Liberal MP Bryce Mackasey as am! to Portugal. He told reporters he has ‘no plans to take away Mackasey’s post; given in a oer of appointments that Mulroney called “vulgar” patrona; REPORTS CANCELLATION The Montreal Gazette reported Saturday that Turner plans to either or cancel Mackasey’s posting because of.embarrassment it has caused the Liberals. “That's news.to me,” Turner said of the newspaper report. “If the Portugese agree to his serving as our ambassador, he will be our ambassador.” The prime minister was asked about the Mackasey posting on the second day of an election campaign swing through the West. Turner has pinned his campaign for the Sept. 4 vote ona promis to win back western support for the Liberals and suggested Saturday he will try to do it with energy proposals almost identical to ideas already outlined by the Conservatives. The prime minister said he is considering replacing Ottawa's costly exploration grant system for oil and gas companies with a “tax option” more favorable to the industry. He also wants to review a wellhead tax on oil and gas production that brings in $2.5 billion annually to the federal treasury Turner has repeatedly condemned Mulroney for making similar proposals, accusing the Tory leader of trying to buy western votes in an election bidding war Turner denied he will copy Mulroney's suggestions, saying that the Liberal energy platform will be conceived by Liberals and worked out with the co-operation of the provinces ANNOUNCES POSITIONS The Mackasey appointment to Portugal came the same day Turner announced September election. Fifteen other Liberal MPs were also named to comfortable positions in the Senate and elsewhere in government agencies and courts. Turner said the appointments were made by former prime minister Pierre Trudeau and he had to agree to carry them through after Parliament was dissolved for the election. But Mulroney made political hay of the move, saying that it proved Turner is a prisoner of the old Liberal regime. Mackasey was cleared last year of allegations that he used his influence as an MP improperly in attempts to get government work for a Montreal company But his financial troubles have emerged again in a related court case involving Robert Harrison, former Montreal Board of Trade president who was charged in the same incident Turner flew to Calgary to mainstreet at the city’s annual Stampede after shopping for votes in an Edmonton mall. He also attended the first meeting of the party's western and northern council in the Alberta capital Prison guards were STONY MOUNTAIN, MAN. (CP) — Two prison guards were attacked and killed at Stony Mountain Penitentiary late Friday night while they were moving from cell to cell locking prisoners in for the night, officials said Saturday prison Joseph George Wendl, 54, was slain at the prison and the other guard, Werner Rudy Friesen, 34, was taken to hospital in Winnipeg but was pronounced dead on ar rival A Winnipeg ambulance su pervisor said that Friesen was “in critical condition from a stab wound™ when he was taken from the medium security institution. Assistant warden Pat Newton told an early-morn killed ing news conference held in a building located on the prison grounds that the two guards were “attacked and stabbed by an unidentified number of inmates.” Newton said the attack oc curred at 11 p.m. Friday in the reception range, which holds prisoners who have only recently been admitted to the institution. The range has a capacity of 66 pris. oners. INVESTIGATION BEGUN Newton said all 508 pris oners in the entire prison, which has had a series of tense incident in recent years, are accounted for and an investigation has been launched into the slayings. Dozens of police were rushed to the prison from Winnipeg. about 15 kilometres south of here.
