Police chiefs’ convention

Police want tougher laws

EDMONTON (CP) — Can-
ada’s police chiefs ended a
week-long convention Friday
with the agreement it is time
to get tougher with crime
and criminals.

The 500 delegates attend-
ing the 76th annual conven-
tion of the Canadian Associ-
ation of Chiefs of Police dis-
cussed organized crime, ar-
son, juvenile delinquency and
manpower deployment.

They heard from several
speakers that the jobs of
police chiefs and of men and
women on their forces are
going to be harder to perform
because of an economic
squeeze.

But the attitude during the
week was that it is time to
take a harder line toward
criminals and show greater

intention of “Americanizing”
Canadian laws in such areas
as search and seizure, and
police information will be
exempt from the Freedom of
Information Act.

Gordon Torrance, presi-
dent and chief of the Hamil-
ton-Wentworth regional po-
lice, continued the get-tough
theme at a news conference
Friday.

Police officers, he said, will
become “understandably
frustrated when they are un-
able to provide effective po-
licing because there are al-
ways those who begin talking
about civil liberties.”

“It is, I suggest, high time
that our Canadian society

began looking at the liberties
of those who are victimized
by crime, victimized directly
or perhaps in the more in-
direct sense of lost produc-
tivity and a drain on society.”

The country's top police- ,
men passed 11 resolutions on
matters ranging from high- ;
speed chases and drugs to,
police strikes and motor- .
vehicle theft.

Investment guidelines released

y The Canadian Press

With a $840-billion bonanza
in capital investment ex-

ted for Canada during the «
rest of this decade, the fed-
eral government wants to try
to ensure that Canadian
firms get as big a chunk of
the action as they can handle.
: Industry Minister Herb
Gray this week outlined
guidelines which he hopes
will see at least 60 per cent,
or about $200 billion, of that
total investment directed to
Canadian, companies.

The guidelines suggest op-
erating procedures for com-
panies involved in megaproj-
ects — those costing $100
million or more. Most of
those on the drawing boards
in Canada involve energy
projects,

Two new oil-sands plants
in Alberta, for example, will
cost $12 billion to $14 billion
each. They have been put on
the back burner pending an
oil-price agreement between
Alberta and Ottawa.

The problem of trying to
ensure that Canadian com-
panies get their fair share of

also warned to move smartly.

Barry Beale; an analyst
with Middleton Associates of
Toronto, a research consult-
ing firm, told delegates that
“your response to these op-
portunities will be watched
very carefully, not only here
in Canada, but by firms from
other countries who will be
quick to seize any oppor-

It has been an interesting week. Speculative mortgages are 23 per cent,
which means the monthly payments on a $30,000. mortgage are $577 per
month. The catch is that the housing co-ordinator at Cominco advises that top
rent for a large three-bedroom home is only $550. per month, if and when
anyone wants or needs space. Case closed, Mr. Real Estate Salesman.

clerks and bookkeepers. In my opinion, OTEU members would be well advised
to d jt i h le and obed: servants, in a position after
proving credibility and loyalty to advise without recognition for the mere
satisfaction of a job well done.

Flexing muscles like the operating unions is futile. Far more would be
gained by being a friend the a tsetse fly stamping its wings and demanding
recognition with pay. It is also a case of supply and demand. Clerks are a dime
adozen. Any graduate of La Salle Correspondence School can get a job adding
up a column of figures. And even a C-minus typing student like me can get an
opinion in print.

“The ash was grey black
