Primrose Lake area. The Mulroney gov-
ernment was finally embarrassed enough
to call for a one year delay in the testing
program. Trials resumed last February.
But the significance of last week’s test;
the likelihood it signifies a new model of
cruise missile being tested, and _ its
timing — coming during disarmament
Week and at a time when strenuous nego-
tiations are taking place over the INF
agreement, has outraged peace activists.
“With the INF agreement sitting
somewhat tenuously, this was an oppor-
tunity for Canada to take the initiative
and take real steps forward as opposed to
a giant step back,” Wendy Wright, a
spokesperson for the Toronto Disar-
mament Network, told the Tribune.
AUSS. Air Force B-52 bomber carried
the missile from the Beaufort Sea to the
Primrose Lake Weapons Testing Centre,
300 kilometres north of Edmonton. Dur-
ing the three-hour, low-altitude journey
- the missile was tracked by five new long-
Tange radars in the western Canadian
arctic.
These have been installed as part of

(NWS), a replacement for the Distant
Early Warning line of the 1950s. The
Peace movement has charged that the

on’s plans for the implementation of the
Star Wars system.

The most recent test, and the conse-
quent militarization of the north, has
alarmed many aboriginal activists. The
Canadian military’s plans for the north
threatens not only traditional lifestyles
but also the aspirations of the northern
Natives, especially the Dene and Inuit,
for self-government and control over the
future development of the territory.

George Erasmus, leader of the
Assembly of First Nations and a former
Dene activist, told the Tribune: “We are
appalled the Canadian government has
gone ahead with this test. We’re curious
as to what it means — whether it means
the U.S. and Canada have some sort of
secret agreement.”

Erasmus said the assembly has con-
sistently opposed cruise testing and mil-
itarization of the north.

Wright questioned how the govern-
ment could send a telegram to the Soviet
Union and the U.S. encouraging the sign-
ing of the INF agreement while simul-
taneously allowing a new cruise missile
test.

Wright warned that the test, “is a
further step in tying us to the American
strategic war strategy.

“It’s almost like the (Canadian)
government saying, ‘We support the

arms race.

JEAN EWEN KOVICH
1911-1987

Born in Scotland in 1911, she
came to Canada as a child, with her
mother, Isobel, and father, Tom.

A waif of hard prairie life and the
Great Depression, Jean Ewen
became a graduate nurse. She
worked in China with the Canadian
Medical Mission from 1932 until
1937, when she returned to Canada.

In January, 1938 Jean Ewen went
back to China as a medical assistant
with Dr. Norman Bethune, and
served for two years with the Fourth
and Eighth Route Armies of the
Chinese people against the Imperial-
ist Japanese forces in the war of
aggression waged during 1938-39.

Jean Ewen Kovich died beside her
family Oct. 31, 1987, in Victoria
B.C. after a lengthy illness.

She is survived by her father,
Tom McEwen; her friend and com-
rade Rose McEwen; her brothers
Jim and Bruce Ewen, Norman and
Sean McEwen; her daughter Laura
Meyer, who held her hand at her
passing; her sons Tom Kozar and
Mike Kovich; her grandaughters
‘Isobel Ross, Terry Meyer, Jody
Gurnham and Seana Kozar-
McLean; her great-grandsons ‘Gra-
ham and Derek Ross.

Jean Ewen Kovich served as an
example to the working class and its
ideals, and her legacy to her children
is one that includes a love of people,
commitment, loyalty, perseverance,
self-reliance, and a belief that the
struggle can be won.

Jean Ewen Kovich returned to the
Peoples Republic of China with her
daughter Laura in 1985, as a guest
of the government, and met many
comrades she had last seen in 1939.

Jean Ewen Kovich has ended her
Long March, and she is remembered
with much love and respect by her
family, friends and comrades.
