Shift numbers about 25, most of which are day-time workers, Shift work in crew and actors has been the downfall of the ‘Players many times in the past. . Director of the project Fina Watchorn, and Byron, are attempting to put the play in motion. Several practices and rehearsals have already been put to the test Ay to display some of Kitimat’s hidden talents. The group is anticipating “three or four performances a year," accor to Byran. He also expressed concern ‘about the sometimes com- mon. attitude that Kitimat has no potential. “Kitimat goes have potential,’ he promises, The dates, again, are June 8,9, and 10, admission will be #2. 50 per person. The organization still needs more back-up staff, People-power is the difference between support and failure. The public is also urged the support the Players when play debuts. ‘Without a good turn-out the group will go downhill.” Radiation checked after satelite and tests VANCOUVER (CP ) - Government agencies will attempt this summer to measure radio-active fallout lett a Soviet satellite that in northern Canada, an exper on radit-activity detection sald Tuesday. Arthur Darnely, a senior official at the Geological Survey of Canada, said in an interview from Ottawa that the nuclear-powered Cosmos 954 satellite scattered millions of minute radioactive particles when it disintegrated during re-enty over Great Slave LAke in January. He said the amount of fallout left by the satellite is about equal to the amount which fell on western Canada after the latest at- moapheric nuclear test in China, “Tt is hard to say whether it is really hazardous in the long run,” said Darnely, director of the Survey’s geophysical and geochemical division. ‘But the amounts are diluted over a large area 30 there is really no immediate danger.” Darnely said Canadian and American scientists will conduct the radioactivity tests in populated areas and regular Piravel routes in northern Alberta. Radiation caused by the satellite's disintegration has been gradually fading since the crash, Darnely said. an? said it is unlikely there any Jarge radicactive pleces aut the satellite left in the area of the crash. Legal rights erode FORT ST, JAMES, B.C. (CP) - An RCMP that. priscners will not be allowed lengthy interviews with their lawyers at the courthouse is a “disturbing limit to in- dividual rights and freedom”, says a legal aid lawyer. Neil Lauder of Prince George, B.C. said Tuesday that" the RCMP policy, outlined ina letter for Sgt. E. G. Reaflaub of the Fort St. James detachment, was imposed because a 14-year- old boy escaped from the courthouse while be was being interviewed at various times by a lawyer, probation officer, native court worker and fhuman resources of- ficer. -Raaflaub says in the letter that three-or four-minute ~ inerviews will be allowed, but longer discussions will have i be os at the pollce Lauder said the letter suggests that court officials, probation officers and lawyers were responsible for the escape. Lauder, who complained recently that RCMP in Prince George have denied lawyers access to accused persons until after police questioning, said the new policy is another example of the erosion of legal rights. “They just ee snipping away and pretty soon there ‘is nothing left,” he said. Members of the Kitimat Players rehearse their up-coming play ‘“‘Deam Lover.” The play debuts June sth, - Proudfoot “passes with flying colors” BURNABY, B.C, (CP)--A convicted heroin trafficker who represented other prisoners at a royal com: mission inquiry into con- -ditions in provincial jails for women said Tuesday she agrees with most of the recommendations in its report. , . Jan Taylor, serving 18 months in. the Lower Mainland Regional Correction Centre Oakalla, said in an interview at the prison that Justice Patricia Proudfoot ‘'‘passes with flying colors” for her report. Justice Proudfoot released the report last week after conducting a seven-week inquiry earlier this year into eonditions in Columbia prisons holding ‘women. “When the started, most of us prisoners British - hearings expected it would be a big whitewash job, just another royal commission report to be filed away and forgot- ten,” said Taylor. “I don’t have much faith in judges generally but I came to have a lot of faith in Proudfoot," Taylor, 36, faults the report for failing to recommend that prisoners have access to the Criminal Code and other legal in- formation called for in a brief to the commission from Taylor and another woman prisoner. “There's so little available in this area that newcomers to the prison system don't even know how much real. time they have to serve,”’ she said. She disagreed with the report's proposal ruling out co-ed prisons in B.C. Grave robbers caught after 76 day search LAUSANNE, Switzerland (Ap) - Two men were in “custody Wednesday after the body of actor Charlie ‘Chaplin, stolen from its grave 76 days ago, was found in a field near Lake Geneva. Authorities said they arrested a Pole and a Bulgarian after the two allegedly called the Chaplin family lawyer demanding a ransom for the return of the comediean’s remains. Magistrate Jean-Daniel Tenthorey said the call was traced, the two men were Africa swarms with potential for war WASHINGTON (CP) - Across Africa, armies are on the march, threatening to subject that troubled con- tinent to many years of war. Like the bitter, chaotic Thirty Yearg’ War that devastated a a. fragmented 7th-cnetury Germany, ite Mticanviobenes iat led by the intervention of larger powers, that one difference is that so far the larger powers have not clashed direct! Instead, through arms shipments, financial aid, advisers and a variety of formal and informal en- couragement to war, the powers from outside Africa | compete in shedding African blood instead of their own. But the potential clearly exists for increased overseas involvement, U.S. airborne troops were placed on alert for possible temporary in- volvement in Zaire, where Angola-backed rebels are threatening esuthern copper resources, forelgn citizens and the _ politically- vulnerable Zaire govern- ment. In the face of a previous similar invasion, France moved quickly to ald Zaire with transport aircraft, if Cuban troops in Angola are sent in large numbers to ald the Angola-supported rebel invasion of Zalr, Weatern powers would have a difficult cholce: provide more direct aid or see a- country of 25 million threatened, Other military actions have taken place in the last few years since a large Cuban expeditionary force proved to be decisive in the Angolan civil war, - Ethiopian forces, fresh from a Cuban-alded victory over a Somalian Invasion, now are reducing the strongholds of Eritrean rebels recent South African raid into Angola or Rhodesian raids aganist guerrilla bases in neighboring countries also threaten to open new and larger areas of conflict. Even the Chinese are deeply involved in Africa, though their advisers in Tanzania and elsewhere seem to have consclentioualy avolded a military role. In all cases, belligerent parties depend on direct or Indirect outside aid, whether from foreign expeditionary forces, advisers, arms manufacturer, mercenaries, money or arms. But there are some grounds for hope in the over all picture, some potential opportunities for a more. péaceful development of Africa's innate strength. Tn Rhodesia, the coalition of whites and blacks has held together through a major tempest that had treatened to undermine the whole effort for transition to majority rule. Followers of Bishop Abel Muzorewa, considered the most powerful of - the moderate black leaders who entered the coalition, decided to remain in the coalition even after the dismissal of a black cabinet minister who critlelzed Rhodesia's white legal system. The coalition atill faces grave challenges from guerrillas on Rhodesia’s borders and ita lack of it- ternational credibility. So long as the Rhodesian government remains largely under the control of white supremists, {t will be hard for'most observers to aee the coalition as a genuine movement toward. majority . . vTule, Brlef actions such as the .. Yet there is hope siniply in the fact that the Rhodesian cabinet still exists as 4a coliection of white and black faces, a situation which in previous years might have en considered improbable. And while news of war dominates headlines, there are also trends such as the economic develapment of olt-rich Nigeria, a country of | 65 million peeple and perhaps the most potentially powerfulstate on the African map. U.S. state department assessments are. that Nigeria is learning to manage its economic boo, is slowly improving the lot of its people, has relative political stability and is making good progress toward civilian rule. In, Africa, such signs of hope can vanish overnight with a coup, rebellion, in- vasion or other political action. But as long as the signs exist, the frends behind them can‘ be aided by governments who refuse to base all their policies on oessimism. “The mentally retarded should be given the op- portunity to develop their potential through integration into the community. In- stitutions should be phased out, and small home-like units, hostels or apartments, under supervision of house parents, made available. In other words, an ordinary environment, on an ordinary street, not an expensive hospital jail or exile.” -Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger, Visiting Scientist, National Institute on Mental Retar- dation located Tuesday and the body, sill in its oak coffin, was found Wednesday near | Villeneuve, a small town at the eastern tip of Lake Geneva. Unofficial reports said the coffin was found in a deep hole dug by the thieves. The remains were taken to the Lausanne Forensic In- stitute for examination. Villeneuve is 16 kilometres east of Corsier-sur-Vevey, — where Chaplin spent the last 25 years of his life, He died there last Christman Day at- age 88 and was buried in the village cemetery Dec, 27. The body was stolen March 2. Tenthorey, who directed the 2% month investigation, declined to give any more details about the recovery, including identification of the suspects, pending a later news conference. ‘But sources close to family lawyer Jean-Felix Paschoud said the thieves called him several times in the last few days demanding “a huge sum” of money and that Paschoud talked down. the amount in subsequent calls while police traced the callers. At the Chaplin mansion in Corsier-sur-Vevey, his widow, Oona, refused to talk to reporters. But the family butler, who identified himself only as Renato, told - a reporter who telephoned: “Mrs. Chaplin is very - happy. There is great joy in the house.” t Saturday May 15 at 6 p.m. Terrace defeated AWT Kitimat 13 to 1. AWT’s goal was scored by D. Ur- banowski. Terrace scorers were Brian Dorrington with 4, N.
