” resident Keith Jackson said. “The kids
are nervous too. After all, Christine was their classmate.”

The girl was last seen Oct. 8 when she bought gum at
the village store and police have turned up few clues in
their continuing investigation.

Elsewhere in Canada — while police, parents and
children gear up for the usual Halloween festivities — the
age-old warnings were extended to kids: Dress safely and
brightly and beware of suspicious-looking handouts.

LIGHT IN BAG

Richard Dickson of Young Drivers of Canada advised
parents to put a small lighted flashlight at the bottom of
each trick-or-treat bag so motorists can easily see
children.

Vancouver police gave out 5,000 trick-or-treat bags
and a list of safety tips as part of its child-safety cam.

warns kids not to eat candy until it has been inspected by
an adult, and advised drivers to be extra-careful tonight.

“The needles and razor blades in apples, is an old
story now,” said Sgt. Yvan Tardif of Quebec police. “Most
parents are aware of that.

“What we are-tostly afraid of is the kids running
from one side of the street to the other.”

Because of that fear, police in the small town of
St-Hyacinth east of ruled
Halloween would be held last Saturday, when traffic was
expected to be lighter.

RAISES MONEY

The trick-or-treating customs, unique to North
America, may give parents and police headaches but it
remains a traditional fund-raising opportunity for
UNICEF's Canadian branch.

Executive director Harry Black says the familiar
orange boxes given to more than one million school
children each year are expected to raise $2 million this
year to finance 82 projects in developing nations.

The cost of the program is minimal and the federal
government matches the public's contributions dollar for
dollar, said Black. About 16 per cent of UNICEF funds
raised in Canada come from the Halloween shellout, he

said.

The program, which has generally enjoyed a yearly
increase in its profits, raised almost $2 million last year —

its best year to date.

Smoker killed |
on city bus

LOS ANGELES (AP — A passenger on a city bus
who insisted, “I'll smoke if I want to,” was stabbed to
death early Tuesday by another man enraged when the
vietim lit a cigarette, police said

The killing took place hours before City Council
passed an ordinance regulating smoking in the
workplace

AGrian Kelley, 23, of Los Angeles, boarded the bus
along with his assailant downtown at 1 a.m., police said.

Kelley then lit up a cigarette, which is outlawed
aboard Rapid Transit District buses. Passengers said the
two men struggled after Kelley told the objecting
passenger next to him, “I'll smoke if | want to,” said Det.
Richard Hoffman.

The 15 passengers on the bus thought the argument
ended when the smoker became quiet and the other man
moved to another seat, and nobody noticed for several
minutes that Kelley had been stabbed.

“Witnesses saw the assault, but no one saw the
damage done, until someone noticed a knife sticking in
him,” Hoffman said.

The discovery was made just as the bus was a few
blocks from a police station, and the driver stopped the
bus and ran inside for help. The man with whom Kelley
had been arguing fled as the driver left the bus,
passengers told Hoffman.

murder trial deals with the
murder of his former wife,
JoAnn Wilson.

Crown prosecutor Serge
Kujawa suggested to That
cher the tape contains ref
erences to the killing of
Wilson and not, as Thatcher
has testified, to Ron Graham,
the man who ran off with
Wilson on the Thatcher's
17th wedding anniversary

“I categorically disagree
with you,” Thatcher said
when the question was put to
him by Kujawa.

The tape was recorded by
key Crown witness Gary
Anderson in May of this year,
just days before Thatcher
was arrested and charged
with the first-degree murder
of Wilson.

Thatcher also denied he
was making up stories to
explain away any involve
ment in the slaying

On Tuesday, Thatcher off
ered his version of the taped
conversation as a rather
innocuous chat with Ander
son, a man he said is much
feared by his neighbors.
Anderson, a neighbor of
Thatcher, secretly taped a
May 1 meeting.

Testifying in his own de
fence, Thatcher said he
thought a key remark on the
tape, where Anderson says,
“['m glad you got ‘er,” was
really a reference to his
daughter Stephanie. That
cher had won permanent
custody of the child a few
months before the conver.
sation

Stephanie, now 10, was in
the courtroom, sitting on the
lap of older brother Greg.

Anderson has testified he
was referring to Wilson's
death when he made the
comment

Thatcher, a wealthy Moose
Jaw rancher and politician, is
charged with the first-degree
murder of his former wife
Wilson, who was beaten and
shot to death in the garage of
her Regina home Jan. 21,
1983. He has denied having
anything to do with her
death
