Or. Hugh Horner, deputy pre- mier and minister responsible for disaster services, made the annnouncement in the legisia- ture when he told of drought as- sistance measures. He said Alberta Environment will make up to $1.2 miliion available for the deep drilling of 300 wells to help water-short communities, some of which have a self-imposed farm of wa- ter rationing. The towns of Tofleld and Helden, in east central Alberta, are having water pumped to them at present and Vegreville is next on the list. Crossfield and Ryley also will gat help. Horner said the Red Deer line, designed to serve commu- nities along Highway 2 from just south of Red Deer to [ust north of Calgary, will be brought inta temporary early operation June 15. It will function at a daily ca- pacity of 500,000 gallons—about one sixth Its flnal capaelty—and runnfor about 50 miles. WILL ISSUE PLAN Alberta Disaster Services will direct drought co-ordination ac- tivities and a basic contingency plan will be issued to municipal authorities and agriculture service boards In the next few weeks, the minister said. Horner sald under the author- ity of the Water Resources Act, the environment depart- ment recently has managed reser- voirs in the Irrigation system in an attempt fo fill them up. "Same are presently filled and the others are In a position to be topped by June 1." Horner said. Power companies also will co-operate with their reser- voirs. The minister said about 17 municipalities with potential water shortage problems had been identifled and each could be assisted by pumping or - trucking water to drilling wells. The trucking industry had been contacted about the avail- ability of equipment should there be a need to move water. Feed and freight assistance pro- grams will be implemented should there be a forage short- age. MAJOR CONCERN “A major area of concern is the provision of adequate water supplies for livestock,’’ Herner sald. ‘The department of agri- culture will purchase six port- able pumping units complete with two miles of aluminum pipe far location at each of the six regional offices of the de- partment. “This equipment will be pro- vided to farmers for mavement of water te fill dugouts for live. stock." Another measure taken by the government Is to ask the Energy Resovrces Con- servation Board (ERCB) to review imme- diately water injection projects associated with olifleld pressure maintenance. "The ERCA will determine If there Is water of adequate qual- ity and quantity and In suitable locations that cauld be diverted temporarily to assist as an ad- ditional supply, if needed,”’ Hor- ner said. He said fire hazard probably will drop in the next few weeks as “greening” of the land con- tinues, but if precipitation Is be- low average, ‘we can, unfortu- nately, expect a second grass fire season.” Rape mishandled By SHARAN SANDHU LONDON (Reuter) — A raped’ woman who is not middle class, a virgin or a pensioner is un- likely tao get much sympathy from the British police, says a report issued here. The claim is made in the first report of the Rape Crisis Centre set up one year ago in northern London to provide a 24-hour service for rape victims. Not infrequently suggestions have been made to the raped woman that she provoked the attack,” said the report, sing- ling out the London police force for their unsympathetic treat- ment of the victims. A Scotland Yard spokesman declined to comment on these allegations. “They are often asked if they are on the pill, the assumption being that, if so, they are prom- iscuous and, therefore, cannot be raped or deserve to be, The centre, the only ane of its kind in Britain, provides emer- gency legal, medical and emo- lional counselling. [t has been criticized by the Metropolitan Police because it does not press victims to go to the police. A spokesman for the centre said women were naturally re- luctant to recount intimate de- tails and relive the rape. In many cases, the rapist lived near the victim and often threatened retribution. In any case, the report ar- gued, police do not regard rape as a serious crime and only 32 per cent of the incidents re- ported result in convictions. Scatland Yard, which does not recognize the rape counselling and research project, said: ‘In our view any rape victim who goes to another agency before coming to the police is delaying and probably hindering investi- gation into a serious crime,” The report aaid potential rape victims might get more assist- ance if they shout ‘‘fire”’ instead of “help” or “rape,” since people usually act in their own interest and would be more likely to respond to “fire than to “rape.” But the London Fire Brigade disagreed, WOULDN'T HELP ‘"Wealready attend 30,000 fire alarms a year and this could well lead to more. People hear- ing ‘fire’ can be expected to run for the nearest phone—and probably not to the rape vic- tim," a spokesman said. One thing the rape centre does not recommend is trying to “sweet-talk"’ a rapist. > eality of what there is to celebrate after 25 years af marriage The audience will be able to identify with many of the lines in the play. as the harsh r governed by the precedural rules of the inquiry, he said. 6 He said other interest groups are expected to take a less active role at the formal hearings or may make their submissions through community hearings.

Anglican journal wins major award TORONTO (CP) — The €ana- dian Churchman, national news- paper of the Anglican Church of Canada, has won six out of nine awards from the Assoclated Church Press. The awards, given last week at the group’s convention In New Crleans, were given for best news, feature articles, pho- tography, graphics and for gen- eral excellence. “The Churchman also won an award for Its monthly news briefs section. The news award was pre- sented for a series of articles by writer Ann Benedek dealing with homosexuality and con- fem- porary attitudes in the church towards homosexuals.

Carter denies Reds WASHINGTON (Reuter) — President Carter sald Tuesday he has no evidence that the So- viet Union {s on the brink of de- veloping a weapon that could paralyse the entire U.S. ballls- tic missile farce. “We do not see any likellhood at all, based on constant monl- toring of the Soviet Union as best we can, that they have a prospective breakthrough In a weapon that would endanger this country.” The president commented on a report In the magazine Avia- tlon Week and Space Tech- nology that the Soviet Union has achieved a breakthrough in high-energy physics “that may soon provide a direcied-energy beam weapon capable of neu- fralizing the entire United States ballistic force.” first notify the commission of their intention to apply for funding, Thompson says.

The Terrace Hazelton Regional Forest Resources study, coordinated by the Environment and Land Use Committee Secretariat of the Ministry of the Environment, covered a 15,000,000 acre area, including all of the Nass and most of ihe Skeena basins, with the exception of Bulkley end Babine. Major centres In the area are Terrace, Hazelton, Prince Rupert and Stewart. lis purpose was to evaluate the broad patterns of fatal resource use In the area, focusing on logging and to provide a basis for decisions to be made by both public and private concerns. Although generally bad market conditions account in part for the lagging slump In the . area, results of the study show that better planning and the development of such things as an Improved transportation system could help increase potential profits. Tran- spartation improvements will aiso help In harvesting of forest potentials. The tong run potential for the region as a. whole exceeds average har- vests of the last five years. The first of Its kind in B.C. this study is an example of the type suggested by Dr. Peter H. Pearse in the report of the Royal Commission an Forest Resources. “Regional studies," sald Dr. Pearse, ‘‘would reveal op- portunities, deflelencles and jtmiting factors In development by examining the resource base, scope for new manufacturing enterprises and other activities, transportation facilities and general social and fechnical factors affecting resauree utilization.” Breaker... breaker...

Pierre Des Marais If told a service club audience he is con- vinced that separation would do llitte to help Quebec’s economic and cultural life. "One thing seams clear to me and that is that independence could weaken our economic slt- vation and at best, it would not improve It.” : The federal system had in the past favored English-speaking Canadians because of their numbers and economic power, he sald. But despite that, Quebecers have a standard of living that is | among the highest in the world, and in that way, Confederation has been clearly profitabfe, In some areas, ihe economic disadvantages suffered by French-speaking Canadians have been due to matters in their own contral, Des Marais said, “it's not ihe fault of Con- federation if in an area as strategic as education Quebec was Jong far behind. And the years we have termed ‘the great darkness’ are our respon- sibility only.” There was too much pessim- ism among many Quebecers concerning the state of the French language and culture. ‘LANGUAGE ASSURED’ “Our language is spoken more often and Is better as- sured that It ever was. Our ‘presence and our vitality are belng expressed with more vigor than ever. “Our collective science has never been as productive.” lf Quebecers chose separa- thon, the position of their lan- guage would be no more secure. “"An independent Quebec would have to face the same North American en- miranment ; and Its Anglo-Saxon mass." In supporting federalism, Des Marais said he favored new structures which would satisfy the aspirations of the dlfferent regions. He gave no detalls. con- Telesat termed narrow, secretive OTTAWA (CP) — The Cana- dian Radio-television and Tele- communications Com- mission (CRTC) ordered Telesat Can- ada Tuesday to provide addi- ‘tlmnal information to back up Its request to become a mem- ber of the consorilum of tele- phone companies across Can- ada. Telesat, the part federally- owned satellite com- munications company, has been accused by critics of ihe proposed link of being narrow, suppressive and secretive in the information it has made available to back up its request. The CRTC, which considers the Telesat proposal to be of major importance to the future cost, accessibility and develop- ment of communications serv- Ices across Canada, ordered Telesat release all written re- ports and studies it considered an alaternative to the prapased link with the Trans-Canada Telephone Systemn{TCTS}. Telesat Is also part owned oy the TCTS and critics of the pro- posal have expressed fears the IInk would create a monopely that would not be In the best Interest of the public. CLAIMS DOUBTED The critics have also accused Telesat of not providing infor- mafion to back up Its claim that the proposed agreement would benefit the public and is the only viabie alternative open to the company. Partly in response to ques- tions from the critics, the CRTC sald it was also ordering Tele- sat to make publicnall written reports and studies showing the costs and benafits of the pra- posed link with the TCTS. The CRTC made a similar or- der to Bel? Canada and the Brit- ish Columbla Telephone Ca., which are members of the TCTS and regulated by the commission.
