“Page 4, The’ Herald, Friday,

By Chisholm MacDonald —

TORONTO (CP) — “It’s
crazy,” said the police of-
ficer, sickened by the gory
slayings. “People are being
killed for less and less these
days,

“Life is cheap now and
gelting cheaper. "
The Sunday yy calm of the
residential street was more
‘sombre than usual that
recent morning and
residents spoke in hushed
terms of their slain neigh-
bers.as four mutilated bodies
were removed from a cosy

bungalow to the morgue.

Robbery was the
suspected motive,

Across town on the same
weekend, two elderly men —
one a First World War.
amputee — were beaten
viciously by a young man at ¢
ahostel. Robbery again, said

police,

P Violent crime in
Metropolitan Toronto would |
appear to be on the increase

As of July 27, there were 30
slayings this year compared

‘ .

August 1, 1980

with 24 the same period Tast

year, As of July 23, there’

weye.6,562 reported cases of,
assauit and ‘wounding

compared with 6,123 the.

previous period, 97 repories
rapes compared with 129, 59
bank rbberies compared

‘with 31, 271 purse-snatchings

compared with 232, and 659.

- other holdups compared with

125,

However, Police Chief .
Jack Ackroyd, who took over
the top job this year, doesn’t
like to interpret year-to-year:
or monthto-month crime
statistics as a pattern. He.

. prefers to look at long range

trends,

For example, he said, total
erime in Toronto increased
by 20 to 90 per cent during
the 1860s and by only 40 to.50°
per cent during the 10708.

“We can't establish -a
pattern for the 19808 by Bix-
month statistics.

. “And there’s no single
cause or cure for crime. We

can’t just pull out a band-aid

.

Jf

and apply’ it to a ‘snae
area. ot

But Ackroyd noted “there
appears to be more erime by
younger people and a
greater number of Teported
cases . of- -asgault and
wounding.

“But I would hope we can. .

establish a better trend ‘in
this decade," he said, “For
‘example, there will be.fewer’

‘ boys and girls in the 16-10 “18-

age group.

However, the’ statlatics he
dislikes show even younger
offenders. Violent crimes by
juveniles under 16 rose 15 per
cent in Toronto last year, .

Sgb Pat Post, head of. the
police youth bureau,
described it as “nothing less

-than. frightening, "

“Ten years ago it: was
almost unheard of for one
child to attack another witha
knife," he said, noting an
increasing number. of.
juveniles involved in knife
attacks, shootings and
sexual offences.

Workers in. the jocal health

cigarette between coffee
breaks and lubch or quitting

puif, Health Minister Rafe
Mair said Wednesday:

The B.C, Gavernment Em-
ployees Union is upset at a
health ministry directive
prohibiting smoking in work
areas and - threatening
disciplinary action. for thoee -
who disobey. “

_ The no-smoking ban -
except for one coffea room
on each floor and.in the
smoking section of the
cafeteria — had been vol-
untary, but was changed toa
mandatery ban two weeks

-ago because of a small

minority of heavy amokers
who continued to: amoke at
their desks. .

Union general secretary
John Fryer said the ban

_ won't work bécause tt. will
“make die-hards even more

militant. . And it — dis-
criminates against .em-
ployees of the Blanshard
building because it forces

_ them to work under a: dif--
‘ferent set of standards than

the other 40,000 ,union
‘members. © ;

_. Mair said, however, he has
instructed ‘his deputy
minister to make it cleat
‘those smokers who cannot -
walt tntll either coffee break -
or lunck!.time are free to
leave their ‘work aross and
smoke inane of the areas
‘designated for emoking.

_ "Thavente doubt that those =”
who take advantage of this

privilege will use it responsl-
bly,"-he said, -" ‘
