H run for or against a day-care

centre for Parliament Hill.

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Heroin users, police and
some professional drug coun-
sellors say abundant supplies
of good-quality heroin are
apparently flowing into this
city for the first time since a
series of arrests in the early
1970.

As expected by police, the
new supplies began showing
up among Vancouver's thou-
sands of heroin addicts in late

TORONTO (CP) — The Mortgage and Housing Corp.,

“The good stuff has hit

says there should be a de-
cision in the next month or so
after Sauve has studied
plans, designs and costs.

Brunet says that under
safety regulations the space
available for the centre in the
Confederation Building
would accommodate only
about 35 to 40 children. Costs
would be competitive with
fees elsewhere in Ottawa —
possibly about $90 to $100 a
week,

“The idea is for the centre
to be a microcosm” of all the
people working on the Hill —
not just the kids of MPs and
high-powered public _ ser-
vants, as Cossitt fears.

But Cossitt says the fees
would only cover running
costs, at best, and not the
initial outlay.

Agreement shows
better attitude

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Unions and manageent at
B.C. Rail reached a tentative
agreement Friday, marking
the first time in 10 years the

parties have negotiated a
Saeaek without a shutdown
or third-party intervention.

“Tm pleased to see a turn-
around in the trade relations
climate at the BCR and hope-
fully an end to 10 years of
rocky negotiations,” said
Norm Farley, chairman of
the seven-union Council of
Railway Unions.

He announced that the
two-year settlement, which
comes into effect Feb. , 1981,
will provide wage increases
retroactive to Oct. 5, 1981.

He said the retroactive
payments will amount to a
signing bonus of about $1,000
a member.

of $48.1 million.

Farley said another factor
might be the northeast coal
development, which will
mean a substantial increase
in the railway's workload.

The unions tried but
weren't able to get a written
agreement that their mem-
bers will do all the railway
related work resulting from
the northeast coat project,

Farley said.

The proposed settlement
covers about 3,000 BCR
workers, who will begin vot-
ing on it late next week. The

‘Alterior motive’
claims Sinclair

Like always, media per-
sonality Gordon Sinclair was
questioning things at a Tor-
onto dinner in his honor this
week.

It was the second one in a
week and the 81-year-old
broadcaster said his hosts
must have an alterlor motive
for the tribute.

“They must be trying to
plant me,” he said.

The $160 a ticket, black-
tie dinner by the Writers’
Development Trust followed
a gala CBC party for him.

They were bis first ap-

pearances since a mild con-,

gestive heart failure in Aug’
ust.

The tribute dinners were a
long way from Sinclair's days
as a young hustling Toronto
Daily Star reporter.

Friends and colleagues

such as Pierre Berton, Betty §

Kennedy, Gary Lautens and
Gwyn (Jocko) Thomas came
to the second dinner this
week.

‘Such an honor,” Sinclair
said. “All you have to do is
continue to get older and do
your job... and not get
pinched for drunk driving!”

Argument ends
in death of five

ALLEN, KY. (AP) — An
elderly man entered an auto-
motive parts store, threat-
ened to kill everyone if a
young man didn't get off the
telephone, and then shot
eight people with a .30-cal-
ibre rifle, killing five, a sur-
vivor says.

Anderson Newsome, 42,
one of the wounded, said he
noticed an argument Friday
between a young man and an
elderly man as he and a
friend entered the Mountain
Truck Parts store in Allen.
Moments later, the younger
man entered the store to use
the telephone.

The elderly came “in and
said: “I'm gonna kill every-
body in here if he don’t get
that telephone out of ‘his
hand,” Newsorfie recallec|.
The man then opened fire.

old retired coal miner from
nearby Printer, was charged
