NDP defeated in Saskatchewan

Overwhelming victory

REGINA (CP) — Political
novice Grant Devine, dubbed
“the invisible man" by op-
ponents, led the Progressive
Conservatives-to an over-
whelming victory .over the
governing New Democrats in
the Saskatchewan general
election Monday.

Within an hour after the
polls closed, it was clear the
Conservatives had delivered
a crushing blow to the NDP
and ended Premier Allan
Blakeney's 11-year hold on
power after three terms.

The result — the first Tory
government in Saskatchewan
history and the seventh in
the 10 provinces — was a tri-
umph for Devine. The 37-
year-old farmer-economist
took a party in disarray three
years ago and fashioned vic-
tory on a campaign calling for
tax cuts, low-interest’ mort-
gages and less government.

The NDP endured its
worst showing after having
ruled the Prairie province for
all but seven years since
1944,

An initial campaign call for
a mandate to fight federal
plans to scrap the Crowsnest
grain freight rates fizzled
early. A late spate of prom-
ises for everything from uni-
versal denticare to an end to

school taxes never closed the

ap.
TELL THE STORY

The Conservatives’ victory
was all but complete. They
took 56 per cent of the popu-
lar vote, leaving the NDP
with 36 per cent, but the
elected totals tell the story:
1982 © 1978

PC 57 17
NDP 7 44

The premier-elect, who has
never held an elected public
office, won a seat in the
legislature on his third try,
rolling to an easy victory in
Estevan, where he lost a 1980
byelection bid.

But it was in the major
cities that the Conservatives
sealed their victory, stam-
peding out of their rural
strongholds and whipping

the New Democrats on their
home turf. The Conserva-
tives held only one seat in
Regina and Saskatoon in the
last election, but took 18 of
20 this time.

Blakeney won personal re-
election in Regina Elphin-
stone, but it was an ashen
triumph as he watched his
party routed across the prov-
ince and saw all but one of his
fellow cabinet ministers fall.

He spoke to about 400
stunned supporters at his
election headquarters as they
watched the disaster unfold.

NDP MUST REGROUP

“It is now up to us to re-
group,” he said. “We'have a
message which is as valid
today as it was in 1971 when
we won an enormous vic-
tory.”

Shaking and glassy-eyed,

the premier tried to shoulder
the blame for the party's loss.

“It is very clear from the
results that we were not res-
ponding to the aspirations
and expectations of the peo-
ple of Saskatchewan.”

Devine said changes are in
store for the province.

“The good old province of
Sasktachewan isn't going to
be the same any more,” he
told cheering supporters in
his southwestern riding.
“We're not going to.be sev-
enth or eighth, we're going to
be No. 1.”

He said he plans to take a
tougher stand with the fed-
eral government on energy
and resource questions.

Blackout on weather

LONDON (AP) — A par-
tial blackout has been
elamped on official British
weather reports for the Falk-
lands because of the vital
part such information might
play in a British attempt to
recapture the colony.

Roger Hunt, Meteorologi-
eal Office spokesman in Brac-

knell, near London, said he
was permitted to give out the
Falklands weather only “in
fairly general terms.”
Satellite pictures Wednes-
day morning, he said, showed
it was “cloudy but dry with
moderate winds" over the
Falklands, while the weather
over South Georgia island

750 nautical miles to the east,
had higher winds and snow.
British forces retook South
Georgia on Sunday and Mon-
day.

Argentine news
agency DYN in Buenos Aires
said a fierce storm was lash-
ing the Falklands, but John
Witherow of the London
Times, aboard the carrier In-
vincible, described the sea as
“curiously leaden and calm,”
while the U.S. National Wea-
ther Service in Washington,

; quoted by The Times, said

satellite pictures Tuesday
showed the weather fairly
calm and clear.

Referring to latitude de-
grees, the South Atlantic re-
gion is known to mariners for.
its “roaring 40s," “furious
50s” and “screaming 60s,”
The Times said.

The Falklands are 52 de-
grees south latitude and
South Georgia i is 54 degrees

SFU fees
increase

BURNABY (CP) — Simon
Fraser University’s board of

‘ governors served notice

Tuesday of plans. to raise
student tuition fees this fall
by 30.1 per cent to $870 from
$660. -

The board announced plans
for a 7.4-per-cent fee increase
in addition to a 22.7-per-cent
raise adopted earlier this

year.

A final board decision will
be made next month.

The latest increase, ex-
pected to raise $450,000 in
1982-83, stems from the
board's decision not to raise
tuition fees for foreign stu-
dents to a level twice that of
Canadians over three years,

University president
George Pedersen, who re-
cently participated in a study
group of the Canadian Bur-
eau for Internation Educa-
tion that
against dual fees, revoked
the proposal after protests
from Canadian and foreign
students,

The University of British
Columbia will raise tuition
fees this fall by an average
82,8 per cent. A full-time
first-year arts student will
pay $840; in other arts years,
$875.

On rampage

Fifty-seven dead

SEOUL (AP) — South
Koreans poured more than
$700,000 in donations into
Uiryong county as funerals
began today for 57 victims of
a drunken policeman who
rampaged through five vil-
lages with rifles and hand
grenades before he killed
himself.

Thirty-five others wound-
ed by 27-year-old Woo Bum-
kon were still in hospital, and
some were listed in critical
condition,

Home Minister Suh Chung-
hwa, whose ministry is in
charge of the police, visited
the-area in southern Korea
Tuesday to console the fam-
ilies of the dead ‘and the
wounded survivors, then sub-
mitted his resignation to
atone for the shooting. Pres-
ident Chun Doo-hwan ac-
cepted the resignation today,
naming Sports Minister Roh
Tae-woo, a retired four-star

general and close ally of -

Chun, to replace him.

Prime Minister Yoo Chang-
soon also offered his resig-
nation, but Chun would not
accept it.

LONDON (REUTER) —
An Argentine prisoner cap-

Then ‘he made his way

Postal costs saga
with less billing

TRAIL — In a move to
help counter the rapidly in-
creasing costs of operation,
West Kootenay Power will
start a bi-monthly. billing
system for most of its 50,000
customers this summer.

Two main factors are be-
hind the change, explained
company spokesman Steve
Ash. One is that reading me-
ters every second month will
result in considerable cost
savings; the other is in res-
ponse to increased postal
costs.

“The increase in postage
rates to 30 cents was the last
straw,” Ash said, “and a sur-
vey among a sample of cus-
tomers throughout our oper-
ations strongly supported .

our feeling that bi-monthly
billing should be introduced
as soon as possible.”

Ash said West Kootenay
Power is aware that many
customers will still prefer to
pay monthly, and arrange-

-ments are being made to ac-

commodate them.

“Unfortunately, bi-month-
ly. billing will not prevent
further rate increases in fu-
ture,” he said, “but they will
be smaller because of the sa-
vings in labor and expense.
All savings will be passed on
to the customer.”

Full details of this billing
system revision will be given
to all customers before the
change is made.

MONTREAL (CP) — Arch-

letter to all churhces in the
diocese calling on parishion-
ers to demand a_ Catholic
education for their children.
The Quebec government is
preparing legislation to
change the public school sys-
tem, which is currently run
by either Roman Catholic or
Protestant school boards.
Although the content of
the legislation has not been
made public, the government
is believed to favor replacing

“The. current situation
gives Catholics a unique
chance to make known their
expectations and stand up for
their rights,” said Gregoire.

“The stakes in this edu-
‘cational reform project are
too great for Catholics to
keep quiet.”

On the education front. it-
self, school board elections
are coming up May 20. Dur-
ing the last round, a majority
of commissioners on Catholic
school boards were elected
on strong pro-Catholic tic-
kets, defeating candidates in
favor of secular schools sup-
ported by the Parti Que-
