Protestors stroll for peace

By ALAN BASS

OTTAWA (CP) — It’s lunchtime on Parliament Hill.

Ministers exit from the Commons and climb into waiting
limousines, rushing off to lunches and meetings. MPs and
others clamber onto shuttle buses and whiz away. Work
crews dig through the latest snowfall.

Tourists take snapshots.

RCMP patrol cars drive by, their occupants keeping a
sharp watch on the scene.

In the midst of the noon-hour bustle, Margaret and Paul
Dyment stoll quietly together in the cold winter sun, bearing
matching signs marked with a white dove in flight and the
inscription: “Vigil for Peace.”

For 60 minutes, the pair face the sidewalks of the Hill.

When the hour is up, another twosome take their place.

They don’t shout slogans. They don't raise fists. They
don’t stage confrontations for the television cameras.

They simply appear, and have kept appearing every
working day for nine months, through the heatwaves of
summer, the downpours of autumn and the blizzards of
winter, gently reminding politicians, tourists and others who
pass that the world is yearning for peace.

The Vigil for Peace is an unusual demonstration.

More than 300 people have participated since the vigil
began last May, but they have never marched en masse.
Instead, they appear in ones and twos and threes, working a

The vigil is not the first continuous demonstration for
peace on Parliament Hill. Its predecessor, the Peace Camp,
lasted two years before it was broken up by police acting
under a new law, enacted specifically for the purpose, that
made it illegal to camp on Parliament Hill.

MPs who objected to the Peace Camp have a different
opinion of the vigil

“These people are protesting in a way that they are
entitled to protest,” says Toronto ative MP Don
Blenkarn, one of the harshest critics of the peace camp.

“They're there during business hours, they stay on the
sidewalk. They don't interfere with people. It’s a mature
effort.”

Dyment and her friends went ahead in spite of
misgivings about the response they could expect. To their
surprise, they were joined by a number of people who heard
about the vigil from “friends of friends of friends.”

“That was very exciting,” Dyment says. “It wasn't what
we expected.”

Participants include people like Gierlof Lokhorst, a
United Church minister from Wakefield, Que. Once a month,
Lokhorst, 62, drives 35 kilometres to Ottawa to work his
shift on the vigil.

“I took to it quite readily, because I thought this was a
way that nobody can really object to on grounds of it not
being a decent way to demonstrate,” says Lokhorst.

Michelle Tracy, a 14-year-old high school student, joined
the vigil after learning about the arms race in school.

“| decided I Wanted to do something about the
situation,” she says. “The peace vigil is something that
everybody can do.”

Dyment says politicians from all three parties have
stopped to chat with those keeping vigil and express
support, including Prime Minister Briay Mulroney and
External Affairs Minister Joe Clark.

She hopes the vigil will last for at least two years, as did
the Peace Camp. Although the vigil-keepers’ ranks were
reduced by the onset of winter, and the number of daily
shifts had to be reduced, “we haven't missed a day yet,” she
says.
” Meanwhile, the vigil is still regarded with skepticism by
many of the experienced peace activists Dyment had
originally looked to for support.

“It doesn’t light my fire,” says Jim Stark, the former

jon Di Je. “I guess I have quite a
about the mood of resistance among

presi of Op
strong opinion
politicians.

“{ don't see them being moved by a vigil.”

Not all the politicians agree

“The witness to peace is a good one, a vital one,” says
Conservative MP Reg Stackhouse. “I'm glad these people
are there. I admire their dedication.”

For 135 years, world expositions have shared

citizens of all ages and our international visitors.

positive message.

“We're heading towards a nuclear holocaust. Every.

on the part of politicians to change this thing.”

adian National Railway is

bracing for a flood of lawsuits
over Saturday's tragic train
wreck near Hinton, Alta.,
which killed at least 29
people, says CN vice-presi
dent Ross Walker.

The company will probably
have to pay compensation
because of the crash, he said.

“I would anticipate there
will be legal action levelled
by people on the train,” said
Walker, adding he believes
those people would be “en
titled to compensation from
the company.”

Brian Levine said the gov
ernment has allowed the re-
port, headed by sociologist
Robin Badgley and released
in August 1984, to run out of
circulation.

The report revealed that
one in two females and one in
three males are victims of
one or more unwanted sexual
acts, ranging from exposure
to sexual assault. A survey of
juvenile prostitutes shows
many had their first sexual
experience as children, some
at age seven or younger.

Speaking to reporters af.

1,300-page report and that
the budget is now exhausted.

after the public inquiry into
the crash is completed.

would assume liability,” said
Alex Rennie, a CN spokes

are capable of living up to
their legal obligations.”

the cost of a second printing

enough from this huge report
in such a short period of time.

“It has become a model for
action in other countries,
such as New South Wales (in
Australia), but not here,”
said Levine, executive direc
tor for the Ontario division of
the Alliance for Children.

Ottawa has yet to act on
the report which was re
leased just months before the
Progressive Conservatives
came to power. The govern
ment says the delays are due
to consultation needed with
the provinces and groups
such as social workers and
lawyers.

Levine said he was “guar.
dedly optimistic” about plans
announced last week by Jus-
tice Minister John Crosbie to
introduce stronger penalties
against pimps and clients of
juvenile prostitutes — and
anyone involved in child por.
nography

One of the most contro-
versial recommendations of
the Badgley report was to
make juvenile prostitution a
crime, making those under 18
earning money for sex and
their clients subject to up to
two years in prison. Pimps

could also be sentenced to a
maximum of 14 years

Levine said the committee
recommended charging juv
enile prostitutes “not as a
punishment, but as a means
of getting them in contact
with the needed social ser
vices.”

Levine said he expects
“the ball to be passed to the
Health and Welfare” for the
recommendations on im
proving national and provin
cial protection programs for
child abuse victims.

Health Minister Jake Epp
has said a federal response
will be coming soon to the
Badgley report

Levine said he's concerned
the Conservative govern
ment's fiscal restraint might
limit the extent to which the
report will be implemented.

“But if they (the govern
ment) look at things in the
long-term, they will realize
how much money can be
saved in the correctional sys.
tem, mental health institu
tions and law enforcement if
something is done now,” he
said.

Revenue Canada
grabs assets

VANCOUVER (CP) A
Vancouver company that re
ceived $18 million in federal
tax credits for research that
included making doughnut
flour out of fir cones has been
closed when Revenue Canada
seized the firm's assets.

Sheriffs hauled away fur
niture at the head office of
Pinecorp Resources Corp.
and at its unfinished research
and development building in
North Vancouver.

Pinecorp received $18 mil
lion in Scientific Research
Tax Credits from Revenue

Canada after promising to
research methods of using
waste from fir trees to pro
duce foodstuffs,
and cosmetics.

Paul Pigeon, Pinecorp dir
ector, said the company is not
yet selling any of those
products. Most of the tax
credits have been invested in
real estate or spent as com
missions, he said.

Pigeon blamed the seizures
on the “haste” of Revenue
Canada which he said would
not wait for the company to
file a tax return.

OTTAWA (CP) — Sales of
new motor vehicles reached a
record level 1,530,410 last
year, almost 10 per cent
higher than in the previous
record year of 1979, Stat
istics Canada said Tuesday.

And although it was a very
good year for North Ameri
can car makers, their share of
the new passenger car mar
ket slipped to 69.9 per cent
from 74.7 per cent in 1984

The share of the market
held by Japanese manufac
turers was 17.5 per cent, vir.
tually unchanged from the

17.6 per cent in 1984

The big winners, however
were other foreign car ma
kers whose share soared to
12.6 per cent from 7.7 per
cent

Figures published earlier
by the auto industry show
that the increase in sales by
foreign car makers other
than the Japanese was al
most entirely due to imports
of the duty-free cars by
Hyundai, of South Korea.
which last year captured 7.7
per cent of the total
