Sleaford attended a meeting last week
with company officials and other em-

investing.
North Star president Ted Lane said
last week that many of the supervisors,

Mr. Lane said he had received verbal
commitments from some investors to
invest one half of the required $100,000
and was trying to interest others to put
up more money. '
Robert Nickerson, international
representative with the United Auto

production ivorkers saidit appears Mr.
Lane is trying to raise $50,000 from the
employees.
Mr. Nickerson also said he understood
that if North Star could come up with the

The action was taken following a

The ODC will not say how much it has
loaned North Star in the past.
Nickerson also said though, that the
' union's position is that its members
should not buy shares in the company
when its major shareholders are not
willing to provide the funds.
North Star stopped operations on
January 4 and asked its creditors to hold
off their demands for payments for two
weeks while it tried to raise funds
required to keep operating. At the same
time they told their employees they
would be laid off for two weeks while the
scramble for funds took place.
When the workers went to get their
regular pay last Thursday they found a
message taped to the locked doors
asking them to return on Monday for
their money. Telephone and hydro
services were cut off to the plant as well.

We've never tried to say that wasn't
happening," Miller said.
"We're hoping though, and we believe.
.and so far from the reaction of the
hospitals I think we're right. ...that in
fact they can continue to provide the
necessary levels of care within the
budgets they were given this year."
"On the assumption that the hospitals
can live with the budgets they were
given without reducing services
voluntarily on their own side, then there
will be no need for us to ask for any

Olivier claimed that the court which
freed Daoud had no legal alternative. He
told a radio interviewer there was
nothing mysterious or extraordinary
about Daoud's release.

Instead of imposing a percentage
increase for the hospitals to use to
calculate the increase in their budgets
for submission for ministry approval,
this year they were given exact dollar
amounts for the funding they would
receive.
Last year an eight percent allowable
increase for salaries and a 10 percent for
goods and services increase was set by
the ministry. The total increase in
budgets wound up at 13.4 percent
however.
At that time Miller blamed ministry
miscalculations and court battles over
hospital closings for the shortfall in
relations have been dealt a sharp blow
regardless of whether the Rhodesian
connection is ever confirmed publicly,
according to the Toronto -Star:
The Star also quotes an external af-
fairs source as saying the severity of the
diplomatic problem will depend on how
the Cubans react. to the expulsion orders
by Ottawa.
"If they turn around and kick some of
our guys out then we could really get
into difficulties with them.
The source said information about the
espionage was handed over to external
affairs by the RCMP late last week and
"we had no choice about what to do once

victims demanded that French
Ambassador Jean Herly be expelled.

This year hospitals have been
receiving budgets earlier than in
previous years which the ministry says
should help in planning. If a hospital
does feel its allocation is unfair, the
ministry has mechanisms for checking"
to see if there is any -inequality ac-
cording to the Health Minister.
Hospitals have received budgets for 15
months, covering the first three months
of 1977 and the 1977-78 fiscal year to
bring them into line with the provincial

Just last month, the government
expelled a military attache working at
the Soviet embassy in Ottawa because of
activities "incompatible with diplomatic
status".
The move against the Cubans may not
be an isolated event, but the first step in
a cleanup by the RCMP and External
Affairs according to some sources.
An unidentified ministry source is
reported to have said that the expulsions
might not necessarily be the end of the
affair but refused -to expand further. The
source said "the matter is still under
investigation and action".
Nothing will ever make amends for
France's cowardice but one must'
suspect that justice will be done in. the
end. Israel has now been provided the
opportunity to seek justice by her own
means, having been abandoned by the
traditional systems of legal recourse.
