Senate Wants Right To Tell
P.M. To ‘Go Straight To Hell’

OTTAWA (CP) — Senators
sought assurances Thursday
that the Upper Chamber has

to go “straight to hell" with
Prime Minister Trudeau's
constitutional proposal te
abolish the Senate.

The assurances were
seught from J.C. McRuer,
8, former chief justice and
civil rights Inquiry com-
missioner in Ontario, who
criticlaed Trudeau's plans to
alter the Supreme Court and
said he opposes  en-
trenchment of a bill of rights
in the constitution.

McRuer was appearing

before a special Senate
committee on constitutional
reform where Liberal
Senator Louis Robichaud

“They can't,” McRuer re-
plied. .

Earlier, McRuer said he
did not think Parliament has.

said senators seek certainty
that they have absolute veto
power over the proposal,
that if the Commons ap-
proves it “we may tell the
people in the other place
(Commons) to go right
straight to hell.”

DESTROY SOVEREIGNTY

McRuer said if the govern-
ment or the Commons tried
to abolish the Senate without
approval by the majority of

senators, ‘that’s destroying.

the process of the
sovereignty of the people.”

He’ said such sovereignty
meant that laws could be

House of Federation merely
by ‘passing a law.

Similar opinions have been
given by other experts in a
joint Commons-Senate
committee studying the
same proposals. That
committee voted Wednesday
to recommend that both
House of Parliament refer
the reform package lo the
Supreme Court of Canada to
see whether the government
has the right to make
changes affecting the Senate
and the monarchy.

CALLED IT UNWISE

He said he doubts that top
judicial candidates “would

view, it willeffect the quality
of the Supreme Court.”

McRuer said the plan to
entrench a charter of rights
in the constitution should be
opposed because the courts
would be jammed with
constitutional arguments
and there is no detail of how
such rights could be
amended,

Many complain now of the
courts’ interpretation of the
current bill of rights, which
is not entrenched, and he
said “it would be that much
worse if, they were en-

Council Meeting Could —
Be A Desk Thumper

Terrace Council will hold
jts regular meeting Monday
evening at the council
chamber starting at %'30.
Prospects are that unlike the
last meeting which was
extremely brief this meeting
should prove more in-
teresting.

All council members are
now back in town from
summer holidays which
should allow the city fathers
to settle some matters which
were put over awaiting a full
council session,

Alderman Vie Jolliffe at
the last council meeting
presented Notices of Motion
on four different items.

To be discussed will be a
motion to, ‘‘discuss and
suggest a positive dire tion
for the Regional District
representatives to take in
relation of Director Chen
Wing’s resolution to prepare
a bylaw for a change in the
cost-sharing of recreational
facilities in the District of
Terrace with areas “‘E” and
part of ‘‘c’’.

Rock Star
Dies At 31

LONDON (AP) — Rock
star Keith Moon, 31-year-old
drummer for the rock group
The Who; was found dead
Thursday by his fiancee
Annette WaterLax.

“His personal doctor was

= called and he certified Moon

to be dead," a Scotland Yard
spokesman said. “He was
taken to Middlesex Hospital
this evening.” -

Cause of death was nat
determined immediately.

Aspokesman for the Music
Corp. of America said Moon
attended a premiere of a
movie Wednesday night and
then. went home to his
apartment.
. Moon apparently died in
his. sleep, but the cause of
death will not be known until
a coroner’s-:inquest is held,
said. Joan Bullard ‘of MCA
Records in Los Angeles, The

wemtti and the rest of the
band had just completed a
promotion tour of the United
States for their new album,
Who Are You, their first
preduct together in three
ears.

SEEMED NERVOUS

“He was always one of my
favorite people, but he was
very different when he was
here this last time,” Ms.
Bullard said. ‘'He seemed
very insecure in his in-
lerviews, very nervous. We
were all concerned about
him.”' .
In an interview with The

Associated Press two weeks
before his death, Moon was

market, vowing he

would
never quit rock, ’

In the 15 years that The .

Who, a British group, has
been one of the world’s most
popular rock groups, Moon
was always the wild man,
-destroying his drum kit on
stage; wrecking hotel rooms,

turning interviews into Keith

Moon monologues.

Moon was a 17-year-old
trainee electrician in his
native north London when
The Who was forming in the
early 60s. An‘ amateur
drummer, he’ caught The

Who's act at a local pub and |

asked if he could sit in.
The band—Pete Town-

send, Roger Daltrey and

John Entwistle—agreed, and
Moon had a job he kept the
rest of his life. .

The Who became the pro-

ae pes otype “ofthe rambunetions -

“rock ‘stage® band? smashing
speakers and cabinets on
stage, but the band had more
than gimmick. The Who had
a string of hits in the 60s, and

_ their talents peaked with the
1969 rock opera Tompy,
considered by many the
finest piece of rock of the
decade.

Members of the group
didn't work together from
1975 until this year, when
they reunited in the studio to
record Who Are You? In its
first week, the album made
the pop charts’ Top 20.

_ “We're all very pleased,”
Moon said then, “We just
learned how to be The Who

Stripped of the legaleze,
this means that some district
representatives do not like
paying as mucvh as they do
toward the cost of recreation
facilities located within the
cityofTerrace.

Another notice of motion
suggests council, “provide a
positive ‘direction for the
Regional _ District
representatives to take in
relation to . the Mayor
Kitimat, George Thom’s
motion to have the District of
Terrace bear 20 percent coat
of building the Health Centre
on Kalum St. in Terrace.

This means Mayor Thom
doesn't think Kitimat should

required to help pay for
the Health Unit if itis located
in Terrace, whereas Terrace
council thinks that Kitimat
should help share the cost,

Another motion not as
controversial will be to the
effect that the Regional
Council agree to pay $155,000
for improvements to the Ski
Hill located adjacent to the
city. Mayor Dave Maroney
told the Herald the im
provements will probably
pay for themselves within
three or four years.

This project is also a cost
sharing scheme among
regional municipalities

Another motion will un-
doubtedly be sent on tc
Regional Council suggesting
that some $150,000 be
allocated for improvements
to the Marina located in
Kitimat.

Mayor Maroney again
peinted out that this is a cost
sharing project which will
pay for itself over the years.
