I know I appear very confident and (have) all kinds of brass, but I'd really rather be alone by myself.” As moderator, his role is that of a spokesman or representative but, unlike the Pope in the Roman Catholic church and seems determined to move it into the political arena. Rev. Barrie Snow of Barrie, Ont., the field direetor of the United Church Renewal Fellowship, said he has known Smith since the early 1960s. “Bob Smith made a remark back then that indicated he wasn't really in favor of the charismatic movement,” Snow said. “I told him our church had keeled over too far to the left.

But most of the crowd greeted Mulroney's promises for more youth employment, better Western repre- sentation in Ottawa,’ and his attacks on the “unholy NDP.Liberal alliance” with cheers. Mulroney pointed out that the number of workers in the forest industry dropped from 390,000 in 1980 to 180,000 in 1982, and accused the Liberals of failing to spend enough money on forest research. “Although Canada has the largest share of the forest products market, Sweden, the U.S.A., and even Japan all spend more than Canada does on-forest .” he said. ‘ “I come from a paper mill town.

He didn’t say how he will get his hands on the letter of agreement Turner signed st Trudeau's request. covering 19 controversial pre-election appointments. Mulroney said he wants to obtain the legal opinion that Turner says shows he had ne option but to make the appointments. The Tory leader quoted a Maclean's magazine article saying the legal opinion was, in fact, from Trudeau. promise to “These are important appointments that relate to tion, to judicial and quasi-judicial UNIONS ‘FURIOUS’ Province enacts Expo legislation VICTORIA (CP) — In the middle of a Labor Relations Board hearing on the future of Expo 86, the provincial gov erpment announced Saturday that it had declared the fair an economic de velopment site. Labor Minister Bob McClelland said acting premier Alex Fraser Friday night proclaimed the economic devel opment site legislation which is in tended to prevent union workers from invoking a non-affiliation clause in their contract and shutting down the site. Premier Bill Bennett, who is in Kel owna, approves of the move, Mc Clelland said. Although McClelland had said on Thursday that it would be presump uous-of the government to intervene while the board was hearing the case, he said in an interview Saturday that the government took the step for two reasons. “It became quite clear that the hear- ing would not be a short one and it would be quite costly. And government policy was quite clear. We just wanted to ensure that that policy was enshrined in legislation which makes it even more clear for everybody.” The . Bri Columbia and Yukon Buildide. Couneil is. furious at the provincial government's interven- tion but would not say what actions union workers would take Council president Roy Gautier said Saturday that the reasons McClelland gave for the government's intervention are not the real reasons. Gautier said the government got in volved now to protect the Expo board from having to turn over its meeting minutes to the board hearing as de manded by the LRB “Expo management have obv:ously reached the conclusion that they can't release those documents. There's something in that documentation, either related to obviously proving conclusively that that's a single site or other stuff in the minutes that would either be very embarrassing or bring about a condition where Expo board of directors either singly or collectively would have to resign.” Gautier said the union would have won the labor board hearing. “We're now faced with compulsion at that site. We had an ironclad case. We were going to get a designation with out doubt that that was a single site. “That was one factor (for the gov- ernment’s intervention) but I don't think it was the primary factor. The primary factor was they couldn't allow that stuff to be disclosed.” The hearing was due to resume Saturday morning after beginning Wednesday at the request of the Con struction Labor Relations Association which wanted the board to declare Expoa series of work sites rather than a single site. Board chairman Peter Sheen, who had not been advised of the gov ernment’s decision in advance, said that the hearing would adjourn until Tuesday so the various participants could study the government's legis lation. Sheen said the hearing could contin ue if the construction association wanted it to proceed. The Labor Minister said that the government still expects that union companies will win 90 per cent of the contracts at Expo. If the board declared it one site, union workers would have had the right to invoke a non-affiliation clause in their contract which allows them to refuse to work ide non-union la borers on a job. The clause would give them the right to go on strike until non-union workers were removed from the site. The labor’ board had ordered Expo Thursday to produce minutes of all its continued on pege A? MEETS 'CHALLENGE' Kristiansen bares memo By CasNews Staff It could be called the case of who's got the secret memo. Kootenay, West New Democratic Party incumbent Lyle Kristiansen says he's risen to a challenge from Pro leader's speech in Nelson Thursday. The problem is, the memo Kristian sen gave to the Castlegar News Friday and the memo to which Mulroney re ferred appear to be entirely different documents. During his speech at Lakeside Park. Mulroney at one point referred to a “confidential” memo that was quoted in a Thursday Toronto Star article The memo, supposedly leaked to the Star, from which Mulroney directly quoted, was dated Aug, 22, written by NDP national eampaign director Gerry Caplan, and sent to NDP candidates “across the country.” “It says NDP candidates should acknowledge the Conserva. tives are headed for a big majority on Sept. 4...” Mulroney said Thursday, reading the newspaper article which was quoting the memo. “(The memo says) there is no point in pretending about minority government any longér, but we can take advantage of the perception of a potential land slide,” Mulroney said. “It warns that the shape of the final battle is now clear The NDP has that secret memo, saying that the Con servatives are going to form the government. I say, Mr. Kristiansen, produce that document to the people of this riding, so they will know that (Progressive Conservative candidate) Bob Brisco can represent them, and not somebody sitting in the opposition,” added Mulroney The document Kristiansen released to the Castlegar News is from the na tional NDP newsletter, The Organizer. written by Caplan. It isn't dated, apart from “Number 5, 1984.” Kristiansen says it's probably “about a week” old. ‘Addressed to “candidates and organ izers” it does make reference to the “mistake” of assuming that a “minority government” will come into power, but doesn’t make mention of the Conser vatives heading “for a big majority,” as Mulroney's memo does No mention is made of “the shape of the final battle.” “pretending about a minority government any longer,” or taking advantage “of the perception of a potential landslide.” It says: “It would be a mistake, for instance, to run for minority govern ment. The way (NDP leader) Ed (Broadbent) handled it in the debate to say that we are campaigning on issues and will continue to work for what we stand for after the election no matter whether it’s a majority or minority — is the way to answer the question if it comes up. But we shouldn't raise it, because minority government is not our aim. “Canadians are going to vote for us because we're convincing them that they need to elect New Democrats to keep the other guys honest after the election,” it says. “This is the ‘secret memo’ B. Mul roney challenged me to release .. ..” Kristiansen wrote to the Castlegar News. “I've met his ‘challenge’ and it's the easiest one Fve ever faced so much for him.” Kristiansen, however, was unavail able for further comment at press time. But Gerald Rotering, constituency aid to Kristiansen, said Saturday “we don't know what Mulroney is referring to other than what we've given.” “We have (released) the memo that we think he's referring to, and we're (Mulroney) is talking about.” Rotering said Kristiansen receives all the memos that other NDP can didates receive from Caplan, and the one given to the Castlegar News most closely resembled the one to which Mulroney referred Thursday. “We have no secrets,” added Roter ing. “If (Mulroney) has more, go ahead, show the public.” Ark found, say explorers ANKARA (AP) — Five Americans and one Turkish explorer believe they have discovered Noah's Ark on the southwestern face of Turkey's Mount Ararat, a team spokesman said Satur y- “Members of the team arrived at the formation clearly Members of International Expedi tions included Steffins’ wife Marjorie. their daughter and two other Amer icans.

That would make the ark at least 137 metres tong. Steffins showed a large bag of samples he brought from the site and said they would be analysed in the United States. The samples were oxidized small pieces of Mat-shaped rocks and wood There were also small packages of sand or soll. Steffins said the ark could have been simost destroyed by the elements efter eo many years, but added: “There is enough there te figure out the proper sizes of the instrument and the arche clogists will be able to measure it.”
