Refuses

loan as

mortgage jumps

TORONTO (CP) — The leader of a homeowners’ pro- test group refused a Liberal member of Parliament's offer Tuesday to loan him enough money to make mortgage payments until the govern- ment introduces a new mort- gage policy.

"IT couldn't sleep nights knowing 1 had received help and thousands of other Can- adians were continuing to suffer with the same prob- lems and were in danger of losing their homes,” said Stan Dion, 29, of Midland, Ont., who took part in Tues- day's bus rally to Ottawa by 600 homeowners protesting soaring mortgage rates.

The offer came from Norm Kelly, member for the Tor- onto riding of Scarborough Centre, during a live inter. view on Toronto television station CITY-TV. The station ran a news item before the interview in which Dion said he was about to lose his home because he couldn't afford mortgage interest payments.

Asked what he was pre- pared to do to help home- owners in danger of losing their homes, Kelly replied: “T'll advance him the money to keep him in his house ... so he'll have a house for himself, his family and his children until our policy comes down.”

‘DECLINE OFFER’ “My wife and I were grateful for the offer, but we have to decline,” Dion said. “It would also jeopardize our credibility among those in our group and among those people we are speaking for.” Dion said he thought Kel-

ly's offer was a sincere one, but “I think he was goaded into the offer by the inter- viewer.”

“If the offer was made by a private citizen in the private sector, I might have given it more thought,” said Dion, a hotel chef and father of two boys, aged five and seven.

He likened the offer to “pieces of meat to appease” an irate homeowner.

He now pays $295 monthly for principle and 10'4-per- cent interest on his home. His mortgage ends Oct. 1 and he expects payments will rise to more than $500 if mortgage charges remain at the 22- per-cent mark.

Kelly said he was “sur- prised” by Dion's refusal and defended his offer.

“He was a family man in dire circumstances,” Kelly said. “I’m just one man offer- ing to help another in dis- tress,

Lalonde and McClelland

meet Monday

OTTAWA (CP) — Federal Energy Minister Marc La- londe will meet his British Columbia counterpart Bob McClelland in Vancouver on Monday to begin talks on an energy agreement with the province.

A spokesman for Lalonde said the meeting will give the two ministers a chance to sound out each other's posi- tions on various issues.

The meeting comes just three weeks after an energy agreement was signed be- tween Alberta, the major oil-and gas-producing prov- ince, and the federal govern- ment.

Meanwhile, talks involving federal and Saskatchewan government officials are con- tinuing in secret in a bid to reach a separate agreement with Saskatchewan.

A key issue in the talks between Ottawa and B.C. is the tax on natural gas ex-

Client ‘roughed up’

BURNABY (CP) — Clif- ford Robert Olson, the 41- year-old Coquitlan, B.C., man charged in B.C.'s worst mass murder, has been “roughed up” and verbally harassed by other prisoners and correc- tions staff, his lawyer says,

Olson appeared briefly in provincial court Tuesday and was remanded to Friday af- ter prosecutor John Hall told Judge Selwyn Romilly a psy- chiatric assessment showed the father of an infant boy is fit to stand trial.

Olson is charged in the slaying of nine young people whose battered bodies have been found in bushes and bogs throughout southwest B.C. since Christmas. Police are continuing to search for two more teenage girls be- levee to have met the same

teRabert Shantz, Olson's lawyer, asked the court not to assign his client to be held in a specific institution while he awaits trial, “because we are currently dealing with some problems of custodial

status and security.”

Judge Romilly granted the request and ordered Olson to be held in police custody until the Friday court appearance.

Olson originally was sched- uled to appear in

charges to Burnaby court “because of convenience.” The other eight charges were laid in Burnaby.

Tight security was evident

Tuesday as sheriffs frisked and

court in Chilliwack where he was charged in the stabbing death of Judy Kozma, 14, of New Westminster.

Hall said he moved all

briefcases to be opened for inspection prior to Olson's five-minute court appearance

There were less than 20 pectators.

wedding gift of two specially carved borscht ladles and a letter of congratulations was sent to Prince Charles and Lady Diana.

It was one of many hun- dreds sent from all parts of the world to the happy couple by nations, cities, organi- zations and individuals — both exalted and humble. By comparison to some of the very expensive gifts sent for the occasion, this was a modest offering.

Nonetheless, it repre- sented, both in the carving and in the beautifully printed letter, the work of craftsmen who gave to their work the very best that they had to offer and at no cost to any- one. .

However, there were peo- ple who said:

“O.K., so you've spent a lot of time and sent a wedding gift to the royal couple. Now you can forget it. You'll hear no more about it — only the gifts of nations and rulers will get any thanks. Small gifts don't count.”

But, despite the cynics, within a month, a letter of thanks and commendation has been received, and I, for one, am very pleased. There is much to be learned, I believe from the entire epi- sode, if one thinks about it.

Chrysler recalls

20,000

TORONTO (CP) —Chry- sler Canada Ltd. is recalling about 20,000 1981 model cars because the switches on their automatic speed-control sys-

_ tems may stick, the company

said Friday.

Meanwhile, Chrysler said it would send letters to the owners of the cars urging them not to use the systems until the switches can be replaced.

"About 150,000 cars are af- fected in the U.S.

The Windsor-based com- pany said that in some cases the control switches can stick in the “resume” position, and normal braking will not de- activate the system. With Fe braking, however, the

ewiteh sticking. The auto-.

maker said the switch prob- lem was corrected late in the 1981 production run.

While the company esti-

mates that only 600 (4,600 in —

the U.S.) may actually need repair, it will replace or re- pair the control switches on all the cars.

Chrysler said it will send out notification letters “shortly” to owners and will begin supplying its dealers with new ‘parts to correct the problem in late October.
