Phillip Ney said he and other concerned citizens placed the ad- in a local weekly newspaper earlier this week in order to do something to stem the rising tide of abortions. The ad offers to pay cash for unwanted fetuses scheduled for induced abortions. Ney said Tuesday that if the mother has the right to abort her child, she has the right to sell it. e explained that ‘‘once the baby is born, it’s no longer ours, and, hopefully, the mother will keep it.” Ney emphasized there were no political matives behind the ad and said that besides receiving positive reaction from the ad, there eart attack guvernments as well as the motoring public with un-. selfishness and loyalty. “He was a seven-day-a- week corporate executive who never spared himself,” said McGeer, adding that his accomplishments will be “looked back on with ad- miration for a long time to me.

Leo Krebs, 19, told the tri- bunai that he was living in a common-law relationship with Barbara Trampf, but was refused assistance because Miss Trampf was earning in excess of the maximum income assist- ance rate for a family of oO. A written decision from the tribunal says that Krebs and Trampf contributed equally to rent, grocery and other costs. Trampf earns $628 a month, netting about $500, the tribunal was told. Krebs was completin, Grade 12, under a federa program that paid him §79 a ‘week, when he became ill and had to drop out, the tribunal was told. Krebs was told he could get back into the program Oct. 24 and he applied for income as- sistance Sept. 19.

Chief Victor Adolph of the Fountain band, 16 kilometres north of here, agreed with Terry and said damming and industrial development have de- stroyed salmon runs on the Columbia River and cur- tailed it on the Thompson ‘River, Adolph said this must not ha pen to the Fraser as well.
