" FROBISHER BAY, ~ Archbishop in Baffin Island NWT. (CP) —,The Ar- chbishop of Canterbury, Most Rev. Dr. Donald Coggan, says his main in-* terest in coming to the Canadian North is to share a spiritual experience with Eskimos of the Anglican faith. ' The archbishop, who arrived in this Eastern Arctic community 3,000 Klometres nurth of Montreal on Tuesday, has so far refrained from commenting on the situation faced by the Canadian Inuit. “Although 40 years ago [ ' lived in Canada, I am not very well up-to-date on our northern -situation, as I arrived only yesterday,” Dr. Coggan said Wednesday. Wednesday night, Dr. Coggan, joined by leaders of Wouldn't got off . for 400 Anniv ‘the Anglican Chureh in Canada, took part’ in’ a service inSt. Jude Cathedral to commemorate the first Anglican service in North America 400 years ago.

Also present was Capt. Charles Frobisher, 84, of Souffham, England, a descendant of explorer Sir Martin Frobisher. The first Anglican service In North America was held aboard Sir Martin's ship near here on ‘Aug. 30, 1578. Bishop Sperry — said Wednesday the church is pleased with progress in the © North. There now are Inuit ministers preaching the Inuit version of the Bible. “The Inuit have found the Christian approach is far superior to what they had before, although many af . -their cultural traditions continue,” Bishop Sperry said. But he also acknowledged that the Inuit’s contact with the white man has resulted in “the happy hunters of the North” facing problems of alcoholism, drug abuse, juvenile delinquency and loss of cultural identity. “But we are not a legislative body and we don’t try to tell them what they should do.

Art Rattle, spokesman for the Ontario Lacrosse Association who was on the plane in Calgary, said: “We just stayed put and told them we weren't going to move. I think the air crew expected us to get off but we were told when we left Toronto that we were going to land in Kelowna,” A helicopter search led by the Emergency Programme and RCMP was undertaken Tuesday iter police received a report of three fishermen due home that day who failed to arrive on time. -The fishermen, whose names were not released, were fishing the Gitnadoix River about 25 miles west of Terrace, The three returned the next day.

Death Ruled Mi adv 5 ft c] oun . Ree a Mae FORT’ ST. JAMES, B.C. (CP) — A knife-wielding 18- year-old Terrace, B.C., man Shot to death here by an RCMP officer April 15 died of misadventure, a coroner's jury ruled Wednesday. Vernon Darry!] Benson died as the result of internal bleeding caused by a wound inflicted by -the service revolver of Constable A. R. Davidson, the jury ruled. _ The four-man, two-woman jury attached no blame, and ruled the officer had acted within his jurisdiction in the performance of his duty, but said that had two officers been present, less force might have been needed to subdue Benson. Witnesses testified that Davidson was called to a residence where the oc- cupant, Herbert Mitchell Abraham was being” threatened by a man-with a knife. When Davidson arrived, Abraham was being: chased into the street by Benson. “Go ahead and shoot me” was Benson's respons to re- peated warnings by Davidson to drop the kuife, the inquest was told. The jury found thal . Benson, five foot-11, 220 pounds, was ‘highly in- toxicated and extremeiy agitated at the time of his death. Benson was shot once, in the left shoulder, and the bullet punctured both lungs. The jury deliberated two hours, and recommended that wherever possible, two RCMP officers attend calls where violence is threatened. High cost French T.V, for Terrace By Nixon R. Baker The Canadian Broad- casting Corporation con- firmed today that plans are almost complete to bring a French language television station to Terrace. ; Mr. William Sheehan assistant to Gordon Craig, Western Division Manager of the CBC, told the Herald the station should be on the air, ‘some time this fall”. Well-informed sources estimate the cost of the service which will carry French CBC programming via microwave from Yan- couver Will run in the neigh- botrhood of $60,000 per month, or $200 per French speaking family per month. Work, atop Copper Mountain, on the new facilities which will be used to receive the’ French television signal and two FM _ Signals is almost complete. One FM station will be in English, the other in French. This will result in dropping the CBC AM breadcasting in Terrace, according to Sheehan “Work on the system was held up somewhat by the forest fire situation, and now we must hurry before snow on the mountain further curtails the completion of the work,” Sheehan said. Although he was unwilling to quote precise figures, Sheehan admitted the microwave connection from Vancouver will cost, “a lot of money", Despite the recent 71 million dollar cutback in.the CBC budget, Sheehan ‘said present whatsoever that the Terrace French television station will be delayed. TWO YEARS Mr. Sheehan pointed out that it takes approximately two years te put a new station on the air. This in- cludes six months notice ‘to the CRTC, a year of engineering work and planning, and six months of actual preparation. This would indicate that the decision to begin French broadcasting coincided with the publication of a survey done by Josette O'Donaghy, sponsored by the Federation of Franco-Calumbiens, Skeena Region and paid for by a LIP (Local Initiatives Program) grant. In his report Mr. O’Donaghy claims there are 328 families whose mother tongue is -French living in Terrace. No attempt was made to determine how many of these people are totally - bilingual. (The Herald will be checking the list during the up-coming week: results will he published). ; However O’Donaghy adds in his report, “In view of the fact that most of the French families resident in the Greater Terrace area: are from forestry communities in Quebec or New Brunswick it is felt that a large number of these families have either returned to their provinces of origin temporarily or permanently due to the long period, from June 1975 to this spring, (1976) in which the forestry industry in this Tegion was at a complete standstill,”" +g Since hepato ot there tias been ni Indiention” staidis Wogan operating i this report-a:Fren Terrace. - . ; When contacted by- the Herald, CFTK Station Manager, Fred Weber said the new channel will not interfere with current TK or Cabiecast television in Terrace or Kitimat, He pointed out, however, that at the time the original LIP survey was done his firm offered to broadcast a French station on the cable free, “All they had todo was get us the material, and we would have broadcast 24 hours a day if that was what they wanted.” Weber pointed out that some 10 years ago Terrace English language programming was shown three weeks after the rest of the country had seen it due ta lack of facilities. This went on for almost five years before we got a microwave connection Weber pointed out. Cablecast programming is available to almost $5 per- cent of Terrace-Kitimat residents. CFTK has applied for and received permission to in- crease their power output, and will have their antenna located on top af Copper Mountain along with the new CBC facilities.

The dollar has been Nunctuating around the 87 cent level for most of this month, in what foreign ex- change dealers call a con- tinuing general weakness in the currency. MONTREAL (CP) — Police announced Thursday they have arrested two post office employees in con- nection with a multimillion ‘dollar theft ring that had been operating inside the post office for the last two years. Police spokesman Con- stable Normand Couillard said the two employees—a supervisor and a truck driver—informed accom- plices of the contents of mail trucks and the time and place they could be in- tercepted. He said that sometimes, the two employees would let themselves be attacked by accomplices to whom they would lend their uniforms. The accomplices would then be able to move freely in post office buildings and take delivery of parcels. The two employees would then alert police and inform them that their uniforms had been stolen. Couillard sald police believe the system may have been used in other Canadian cities and investigations are being conducted across the country. i Aoting Mayor David Pease studies “state” for new addition to Terrace Public Library ' David Pease, acting Mayor of Terrace looks over the ‘stats’ for the upcoming addition to the local Library.
