A group of parents and teachers in Goderich, who last year formed the Goderich Home and School Association asked the board to make changes so that some teachers, and in most cases older ones, who felt uncomfortable teaching the course, could be replaced for that course by suclr personnel as public health nurses. Cochrane also said that the Goderich and Area Pro -Life group met with the board's education committee•last month to raise objections to certain areas of the course as well as some of the films and resource materials used to teach it. Cochrane will attempt to justify a use of certain aspects in the course and eliminate some if necessary. His recommendations willl!,e presented to the board at the September meeting. The main• concern of the Pro -Life group was that the health course was taught from a scientific point of view and did not attempt to discuss the morality of sex. • Board member Clarence MacDonald said that the guidelines would . maintain course consistency in the schools. Board member Eugene Frayne claimed the board could operate an option in the health program giving the parents the opportunity to choose if the students were to study the scientific approach or a course that emphasized the Judeo Christian morality. Cochrane agreed that it might be a suitable approach to the problem but could not be sure that it was practical for the Huron board to set up. It would require more teachers and could pose timetable problems for both students ,r' and teachers. Frayne' said that the option idea, which he read about in Canadian Magazine, would solve the problem of including,; moral teaching without ac- tually changing the content of the course. "It's not so much what is being taught as how it is being taught," he said. Board ,'members agreed that the question of morality varies with every person and there was likely to be some disagreement among parents when Cochrane'" has established the course Premier William Davis is for a crisis filled session as er session of the Ontario begins on Monday. e first encounters for Davis' minority government will e a confrontation with the parties within the first month roposed budget measure to ve-cent tax on soft drink cans. als and NDP members are opposed to the budget one of several important ues to be dealt with this PROVINCIAL Traditionally, a defeat on a budgetary tax measure could be taken as a vote of non -confidence and considered grounds for an' election. But considering such defeats in the wake of the Premier's $20 million majority seeking election it would understandibly . take a more substantial issue for an election. Another election is realistically out of the question for two or three years at best but such defeats as the tax bill will set parliamentary procedure for the term in which the Conservatives will simply have to ride out several defeats. NDP leader Stephen Lewis said the to'w, wen/ W gro wide anal s m' nt an' osll( riPl wn n I;t udi int nee. hr¢i 9ua s are that the CBC will face f law suits as a result of a documentary, Connections, 12 and- • 13 linking several h family oriented mafia across Canada. tive MP John Reynolds Richmond -Delta) has suit against the CBC for m of acting on behalf of underworld figures and for about the contents of the Y. Reynolds said in the mmons that he has served a the CBC under the Libel and government will just have to adjust to these defeats in the Legislature and offset defeats by introducing motions of confidence. Lewis said that his party =is deter- mined to make minority government work and last, but his party -would not be prevented from moving amendments or voting against them as the case may be. He believes that the Conservatives will be defeated on a number of issues rough the combined efforts of the Liberals and NDP brit nothing really as serious to warrant a motion of non- confidence and an election. CANADA Reynolds, 35, spoke to the House on a question of privilege and said the CBC documentary was an exercise in un- truthful character assassination and was hypocritical and that like any other member of the House he would not stand for it., He said his dealings with alleged underworld figure 'Joe Gentile and his associates were limited to the response a menthe r of Parliament normally makes topeople who seek his help and that he had no way of knowing what their background was. Reynolds claimed he was approached by the CBC for an in- terview about the House subcommittee • IN On penitentiaries of which he was a member but during the interview the reporter started asking questions about Gentile. He claimed that in the televised program his answers were rearranged to convey as damaging an impression as possible. He took his lawyer to the 'next meeting, June 9 in a .Toronto hotel to raise several points that he said showed the CBC information to be erroneous and slanted. He also said it was obvious to the CBC that if the program included that, information he would seek an injunction to prevent it being aired.' POINTS The device of a specific confidence motion following a legislative defeat was used only once during,the 20 month life of the previous Conservative minority government after they were defeated on their farm income stabilization plan. The defeat was on a Liberal motion to send the billback for revision and the Liberals in turn had to support a vote of confidence for the Conservatives -to avoid an election. In order for Davis to survive it will now be up to the NDP party and on the Liberals on occasion to support the Conservatives on future confidence SEVEN Reynolds was assured that the weekend program would not be aired on the weekend segment and in fact it wasn't, it appeared as part of the second segment Monday evening. He now claims that the CBC denied him of his legal rights to challenge their intention to air the segments slandering_him. Reynolds had planned to resign from the House of Commons to take a job with a, Vancouver radio station and he said the situation did not alter those plans. He will probably resign later this summer. He was also confident there was nothing incriminating in tapes of con- versations he had with the man known as ik, " is looking for Idi Amin and t in the assassination attempt at Id a.m. -president Mufstafa Adri°f, Saturday morning near the' Bayitabire •, s Nation newspaper that trading centre. -Ugandan police ira- fisb,,,; edi im they are to contact , mediately threw up „roadblocks around ediately, the'capital of Kampala and 'a govern. just, another "'�. : , . _: other world kwide x°meat official admitted that,. the President "Arn,i 'a `., ".

Dorothy Wallace said the board faced the same problems not too many years ago and the general feeling then was that someone outside teach the course. She claimed a teacher felt un- comfortable teaching .children sex and then trying to teach the same group the rest of the day. Cochrane said he could not see why the course could not be taught with a hint of morality but added that it was just a problem that the education committee would have to come to grips with. The board will not meet again until Sep- tember. The Liberals favor a deposit on cans to encourage returns rather than a straight tax levy. On budget day the NDP party was prepared to support the bill since the Conservatives had no alternate plans for jobless can production workers who faced the possibility of losing their jobs if production was cut. Lewis claims that the tax may not be legitimate under the circumstances and thinks the two op- position parties will combine to defeat the bill. Such defeats should at least humble Mr. Davis into effective government. • public inquiry into ` organized crime. They were speaking for Ontario police only andsaid the program revealed no new information. Chief Supt. Randolf Schamm of the RCMP, said provincial police forces were capable, of dealing with organized crime in the province through the judicial system. They only asked for broader legislation on wiretapping privileges claiming that several prosecutions have been dropped because of the wiretap legislation. Police officials refused to reveal the extent of their investigations into organized crime but said that many of the investigations were continuing. } iy
