(CP) -Canex Placer Ltd.'s ako division molyb- denum mine was back in production Monday after Jocked-out miners from the Gibralter Mines Ltd, copper operation near Williams Lake, B.C, took down a picket line, But the Canadian Association of Industrial, Mechanical and Allied Workers (CAIMAW), which represents the 875 workers at Endako and Gibralter, now has threatened to hit the Craigmont Mines Ltd. copper operation near Merritt, BC.. However, picketing will be preceded by a meeting today- with the B.C. Federation of Labor. Craigmont miners are represented by the United Steelworkers of America, CAIMAW's chief rival, who have asked for a * meeting Wednesday before ‘ deciding whether to honor a picket line, Fteelworkers crossed a back in picket line outside Craigmont the last time CAIMAW members pick- eted. Both Endako and Craigmont may be picketed under a provision in the labor code granting unions involved in a dispute the right to picket all other places of business or operations of their employer. Placer Development Ltd. wholly owns Endako and is a major shareholder at the other two mines. It was granted an injunction Monday limiting the picketing - at Endako and Gibralter to four persons per access at each location. CAIMAW spokesman Peter Cameron faid the injunction posed no problem for the union. “Three pickets shut down Endako,” he said, “And at Gibralter, we're locked out.” . The 400 Gibralter workers were locked out May 26 after bargaining for a new collective agreement reached an impasse. Poor planning, MP says OTTAWA (CP) — Officials : of the northern affairs ' department got a scolding today from Progressive Conservative Frank Oberle for what he called poor Planning. — The Prince George-Peace River MP said that with department encouragement, government agencies, communities and businessmen spent millions of dollars in anticipation that a natural gas pipeline wouldnbe built in the Western Arctic. The pipeline instead will be bullt through a Yukon Toute, leaving Inkvik with a power capacity it can't use but must pay fornan in- creased fleet of barges ‘owned by Northern Trans- portatioa Co. “‘to move pipe that will never he moved"nand host of other horror stories, Oberle said, He said up to 20 new houses had heen built in Nor- mannWelis th no prospects for tenanta and added he had seen a barge load of “folid oak” furniture allowed to deterioriate outdoors because no we could be made of it. ASKS FOR HELP Oberle said the depart- ment should help northern communities which ex- panded their services in anticipation of increase population. Waiting for a final ap- - provai was too late to start long-range planning, he said. New policy for gifted children |; _ VICTORIA = (CP) - Education Minister Pat McGeer said Monday he hopes to announce this month a new policy of Promotion, asgessment and programs for gifted children in British Columbia, “The gifted children have _ been ignored,” he said, “It is ~ @ very gaping hole in our program in B.C. We should — have done it long ago, and we will do it.” : McGeer urged Charles Barber (NDP--Victoria) to be patient in his demands for opportunities for the gifted, including an office of artistic education within the mir‘stry af education, He said his mincstry fs working on the basics first because there are ne con- ‘sistent standards for the average students, much less @ gifted,. “There should be exciting programs for the gifted, nand we don't have them," McGeer said during debate on his budgetary estimates. "B.C, has done an extremely poor job—there is no * question of it,'’ WANTS OPPORTUNITIES Barber called on the government to provide opportune, practical boratories ‘“‘so that the bright kids can test their bright ideas." n . He urged the minister to provide more musical and artistic education in the schools throkgh creation of an artstic office in the ministry. “Musle and art education sald, adding that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy and learn something about music. Gary Lauk (NDP—Van- couver-Centre) called on the government to help children of immigrants in Vancouver who do not speak English, He sald these make up 40 per cent of the school Population, and accused MeGeer of racial and ethnic elitism for not providing assistance, ‘He didn’t need It, hig chil- dren don’t need it therefore nobody needs it,’’ Lauk said, “Because of his position and background, he does riot care about English second- language. immigrant children.’ ; McGeer told the legisature that his ministry has ap- proved 87 projects during the current year for a total expenditure of $2,326,000 above the regular Vancouver school district budget to allaviate the problem. | “Jailbait provisio _..

Alsoon-tap is a winter indoor meet for next if Criminal Code amendments adopted OTTAWA (CP) — The Criminal Code’s notorious but littleused jailbait. provisions would disappear, along with incest and bestiality, under proposals made Monday by the Law Reform Commission of Canada. ~ Sexual assault, covering everything from sexual touching to penetration without . consent, would replace such crimes as rape, buggery and gross in- decency. , Sexual relations with those under 14, male and female, ‘would be forbidden, The law mow specifies only females under 14. . A welter of current s0- called jailbait provisions would go. They make it a crime for-a 17-year-old to have sexual relations with a 15-year-old, for a 19-year-old to seduce a 17-yearold, or for an adult to seduce a 20-year- old woman with promises of marriage or employment. To protect dependent 14-to 18-year-olds, it would become a crime for a person in authority to have sexual relations with them. This would include such people as parents, relatives, teachers,nemployers and. guardians. It would apply to male as well as female victims. Incest would disappear. The commission said family rather than criminal courts ‘were the places tondeai with it, FOLLOWS BASFORD The commission's working paper onnsexual offences came less than six weeks after Justice, Minister Ron Basford introduced Criminal Code -amendments that would replace the crime of rape with one of assault, The commission said ita proposals, the result of several years of work, are “broader ‘and more exhaustive’ than those proposed by Basford. Basford, who\said May 1 that the Law Reform Commission's proposals: would be taken into account in assessing public reaction to his bill, said the basic issue is how to treat rape, Both his bill and the com- Nova Scotia companies _ support fishing ban HALIFAXN(CP) — Of- ficials of Nova Scotia’s two largest fishing companies expressed support Monday for the the ban on American fishing yeagels in Canadian watera, They also said the ban ‘will not. affect their catches because Atlantic Canadian fefhermen have to work within federal quotas. n Harold Nickerson, president of H.B. Nickerson and Sons Ltd. of North Sydney, said he thinks the expuision of the American fishermen was a good move - . and the federal government Should be congratulated for Hopefully it will result in a. more satisfactory long-term agreement being reached sooner than it otherwise would, he said. William Morrow, president of National Sea Products Ltd. Canada’s largest fish processing company, sald the ban will have little immediate effect on the East Coast fishery and longterm effects depend on the effort the Americans put into fishing on George's “It's pretty hard to know what is going to take place and we're just kind of watching: the situation,’ Morrow sald. “But I think they had to do something to bring this to a head " C.W. McLeod, president of C.W, McLeod Fisheries of Port Mouton, thought it. regretable that Canada and the United States could not resolve the problem without . resorting to fishing bans. . HOPES FOR SET- TLEMENT “T feel badly to think that the atmosphere in negotiations would have come to something like that,”’ McLeod said. “I would hope that they could still negotiate on amicable Douglas Johnson, Atlantic region director-general for the federal fisheries department. esaid it appeared that all U.S.nfishing vessels had obeyed the no-fishing order in Canadian waters.

Negotiators for the newly- formed Brewery Employers Labor Relations Association and the Canadian Union ofnUnited: Brewery, Flour, Cereal, Soft Drink and Distillery Workers were still meeting when the sociation’s lockout notice be- came effective at 11 a.m. The association served lockout notice Saturday after a walkout.of union membere at the Carling O'Keefe brewery more than a week : Molson, Labatt and Columbia breweries also are members of the association, ag- . formed last month. The unionnwas not happy with the formation of the association at a ‘late date during negotiations with individual companies, . The wunion’s contract at Carling O'Keefe expired Dee. 31, 1977, and contracts at other breweries ended in April, ot The union had applied to the B.C, Labor Relations Board for a cease and deaiat order to prevent the lockout, but no decision had been reached today by the board. The beer shortage began -late last week after the shutdown of the Carling 0’Keefe plant. Deliveries to liquor outlets were slow in the face of huge demands. Hotels were stockpiling beer in anticipation ofa prolong dispute. ’ Search for loggers PORT ALICE, B.C.

Without consent, a crime would be committed if the assailant so much as touched the victim with sexual organs, or touched such organs. * PARTIES DIFFER The Basford bill would re- quire the degree of seriousness to be established during a trial. The com- taission would have this established after guilt was. established but before sentencing, Vagina, anal or oral pene- tration would add to the sev- erity of the offence, as would violence of any kind. © The Basford bill provedes for maximum sentences of 14 years for indecent assault and life for “aggravated ‘indecent assault,"" which would involve violence, or physical or psycmological damage to the victim. The commission doesn’t propose maximum sen- tences. It says the Law should provide for hospital treat- ment ag an option to im- prisonment, with the of- fender able to make the choice if the court permits. It speculates that more sexual offenders might turn themselves in for treatment if the criminal law did not present such a threat to them, ° The commission says victims and alleged of- fendera must be given mare protection against publicity, whose consequences sometimes “go far beyond any official: punishment.’’ It said there is no rati for maintaining ‘the offence of bestiality—relations between human and ap animal—-where it isn’t: a ey Sr __t 7 7 oe ed == ey _ MINOR HOCKEY 1978-1979 Season Syme pape rc _ SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1978 GLARENCE MICHIEL SCHOOL GYM . 1:00 p.m. TO 4:00 p.m. ~~ ‘Kitimat Academy Awards The ‘two National Film Board presentations that won Academy Awards this year will be shown at Kitimat Museum Friday June 16 at 7 m.
