(CP) -— Television sets fly out windows, holes are kicked in walls while beer bottles break against mirrors and bloody fights erupt in hallways. That’s what hotel and motel operators say they face when Edmonton and Calgary football fans invade Deer during the Western Football Conference finals. It happened last weekend when, Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Hlue Bombers played’, in Calgary and Calgary . television was blacked out. Similar brawls are ex- pected this weekend when Edmonton Eskimos take on the Stampeders in a game blacked-out in the Edmonton television area. Hotel operators say that often the hundreds of club supporters who come to Red Deer, about halfway bel- ween the two major cities, watch their favorite teams battle it out on the playing field, then leave motel rooms ~ looking like war zones. The situation is so bad that many hotel operators refuse to take reservations from football fans. A spot survey showed that about half the city’s hotels and motels are unwilling to accept bookings from football fans Those hotels that are willing to risk damage are Gemanding between $20 and $100 in damage deposits.

Don Hart, owner of the Park Hotel and president of the hotel association for central Alberta, says even high damage deposits aren't enough to stop the football crazies from going.on a rampage. Hart said fans rent hotel rooms for one purpose: ‘To do to someone else's property what they can't do in their own homes.” “They just don't care.” Hart said the biggest majority of fans who go wild are men between 30 and 45 years of age. Hart said he knows of one city hotel that had to television sets thrown oul of asccondfloor window. One of the sets landed on the roof of a car.

There is no mention, however, of blood or urine testing or a requirement for medical examinations. Saskatchewan has no regulations on worker ex- posure, but does require engineering controls so that lead contamination in the air does not exceed 150 micrograms. A labor depart- ment spokesman said proposed regulations for worker exposure now are before the cabinet. _ A recent report by the federal labor department said there is an obvious lack of adequate safeguards in the Canadian work place.

RE-ELECT for ALDERMAN government | OTTAWA (CP) — The pro- ducer-director of a docu- mentary film on the Dionne quintuplets says the tragedy of their broken family life might have been avoided if different government action had been takenin the 1930s. Donald Brittain, who pro- duced the film jointly for the CBC and the National Film Board, based on Pierre Berton’s book, The Dionne Years, says it now seems a mistake to have separated the five girls from their family. The film is to be shown on CBC-TV’s English network Sunday night. TTE Wuints—Cecile Emile, Marie, ¥Yvonne,. and Annette— were made wards of the state by the Ontario government soon alter their ‘birtt in 1934, to manage their affairs and save them from cireus-like exploitation. The children were taken from their parents and raised in a hospital-like nursery, put on public view like animals in a cage but otherwise isolated from childhood companionship or the world at large. Even their mother and father had to seek permission to visit them. Brittain’s film, and his views expressed in an in- terview here when the show was previewed for reporters and TV critics, make it clear that bringing the girls up in highly-artificial nonfamily eircumstances was 4 mistake. Brittain, who was a parlia- mentary press gallery corre- spondent before moving into the documentary drama film field, was six years old when the quintuplets were born, and remembers the times and circumstances. Brittain has won national and international awards for his work, including an in- ternational Emmy for last year's Henry Ford’s America, and the 1978 John Grierson Award for oul- standing contribution to cinema in Canada. He does not believe that “media hype” was to blame for the frenzied interest at the time in the quints, who probably had more publicity than any human being theretofore in history.
