Let's get back to work. FT INFORMATION, BACKGROUND AND OPINION rig al Greenpeace members from Michigan came to Goderich in a • trimaran last week to alert to a serious situation that may ween the two communities. mber of the Greenpeace crew osing to store waste from their energy progriim in the Alpina so the site of a salt deposit. salt is considered by scientists to ost stable rock.formation in the nd therefore suitahle for the of nuclear Waste which can -dangerous over a period of 'HERE The group came to contact CANTDU and also Waled people in the area to the situation in Alpina. One member pointed • out that Alpina is as cldse to Goderich as the Bruce Nuclear Power Development plant north of Kincardine. Residents of Alpina are organizing to prevent the government from storing nuclear wastes in their community. One member of Greenpeace said the people from the' two countries ,must begin to realize their relationship in this matter and begin to work together. The Greenpeace foundation was established to protest and stop the JIN HURON proliferation of nticlear materials that pose a definite threat to life and the environment. This summer several members of the Toronto Greenpeace travelled the waters of the Great Lakes to bring attention to the dangers of nuclear power: They completed project No -Nuc in the sailboat Greenpeace XI. The main objective of the Toronto group is to stop construction at Ontario Hydro's planned nuclear plant at Darlington outside of Bowmanv We% Greenpeace is planning a large demonstration at the Darlington plant later this summer and a spokesman said that a loud clear statement on thg' future of nuclear power would be given. The group is also circulating a petition that will request the Porter Commission to stop nuclear power development and production in the province of Ontario. A Greenpeace spokesman said that dollars and cents must not be given the consideration they recieve in this -matter, and their petition will also ask the Porter Commisston to recommend the im- -mediate recognition of the need and wisdom of infinitely renewable non- polluting energy sources such as solar and wind power. Greenpeace claims that plutonium found in nuclear waste is more lethal than chemical cancer inducing agents such as PCB, Kieldrin and Malathion of DDT. They claim that a pound of reactor grade plutonium has the capability of inducing death and disease due to cancer in several million people. A major concern is the toxicidity of plutonium and its potential for making bombs. It takes only 25 pounds of plutonium to build a bomb equal in force to the one dropped in Nagasaki at the end of World War 11. Greenpeace claims that a pound of plutonium is valued at $100,000 on the black market. Greenpeace estimates that the reactor systems at Bruce and Pickering each procuce 1650 pounds of plutonium in their spent fuel each year. They also claim that Ontario Hydro has ac- cumulated 10,000 pounds of plutonium in spent fuel. i he Qreenpeace crew that visited Goderich harbor distributed literature and buttons to people but their cause drew little response from most people. - The next stop for the Greenpeace XI is Detroit. eath of 12 year old Emanuel in the Yonge Street body rub harlie's Angels has sparked an ave of protest against sex, shops y and across the province. ands of sympathetic Toron- queued up at the funeral home to ir respects to the young boy who tly lost his life while trying to oney for his family by shining the,Yonge Street strip:And the y was extended to the family, ose ignorance and innocence of street life, led to their granting ion to their young son to shine PROVINCIAL. POINTS ' Emanuel Jaques was drowned in a sink above a Yonge Street body -rub parlor on the Civic holiday long weekend after being sexually attacked. Four men have been charged with his murder and appeared in court in Toronto last Tuesday. Death is always tragic somehow. But the death of Emanuel touched the hearts of Torontonians, and certainly most everyone, because of , his youth and because he trusted people and believed that no danger would come' to him on the streets of the city. Thousands of people clogged the church and the surrounding area on Dundas Street for the funeral last Thursday and joined the long funeral procession to the cemetery. The death has so enraged citizens and politicians that they activated cam- paigns to wipe out the sex shop industry in Toronto and immediately established fund campaigns for the family. The city responded with flowers, tokens of sympathy, demands for action on the Strip and monetary funds for the family. Total strangers. turned out to the funeral home and cemetery and sobbed uncontrollably along with family and friends. The city, over two million nameless faces, showed that it cared. But perhaps - the turnout, the sympathy and the acts of kindness, could do little to' relieve the grief of the family. It was the same city that betrayed the trust of the Jaques family and 12 year-old Emanuel. • The political and citizen outcry for the closure of sex shops �n Yonge Street began long before the. sexual -slaying of Emanuel, but the death has now provided impetus to the cleanup operations. Since last week a police crackdown on the ex shops has resulted in almost 200 arrests and the majority of the charges laid by a special morality task force are for keeping a common bawdy house. The body -rub parlor, Charlie's Angels, where Emanuel was killed closed almost immediately and the glass front door of the building was covered with spit and paint splashed on by passersby. Since the death and police crackdown several other shops have closed along the Young and Dundas Street area and new legislation on body -rub parlors is in the making'. One body -rub parlor on the Yonge Street said that the death of Emanuel was bad for business, which will draw little sympathy anywhere. But even the girls, who work the parlors and claim to provide a needed service to the city as social workers, were horrified at the death. There were several young boys shining shoes in the area but that service will now likely be extinct on the streets of Toronto. Such incidents, just chip away at the trust of a city and wary mothers will now tend to be over- protective but with just cause, For the killers, there can be no punish- ment to justify the crime.

The Canadian Air Traffic Control Association. offered to accept the Treasury Board's position on a few remaining non -wage items and end the strike if their proposal was submitted to the AIB but the government refused the offer. The association was willing to give up its demand for minimum staffing of two men between the 8 a.in. to 11 p.m. shifts at some smaller terminals where only one controller is now on duty clprin'g those hours. The Treasury Board had proposed to do a study of these locations. The union also wanted five weeks vaction after 20 years instead of 25 as provided in the present agreement. The third demand was for a compressed Work week for non-operating staff. The Treasury Board had opposed this demand as impractical. the final effort to reach a negotiated settlement without the need for legislation to end the strike meant that the controllers were conceding little. The Government's offer has been 7.43 SEVEN per tent, acceptable, under the AIB guidelines but the union is insisting on an additional 4.6 per cent. The average salary for a controller under the old agreement was $21,000 a year. About 53 per cent of the controllers are in a range of $20,000 to $23,000 a year. The association proposed that the government pay the 7.43 per cent until the AIB ruled on the higher figure submitted. The Government's rejection of the proposal set the stage for a te in Parliament on a bill to end th s rike and set the terms for a new contra Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said the Government would go ahead with the legislation imposing a settlement and ending the strike because the govern- ment does not believe that the con- trollers are entitled to a wage increase exceeding the AI13,guidelines. He claims the employer had a responsibility to negotiate wage agreements within the guidelines and not to agree to excessive settlements and let the an'ti-inflation board send it back. NDP leader Ed Broadbent claims that the Government and Transport Minister Otto Lang have been irresponsible for calling back parliament to legislate the controllers back to work. Piogressive . Conservative House Leader Walter Baker said his party had no plans to block the passage of the bill. However he was disturbed at the way that Lang has stood in the way of resumption of air rrvice in Canada. If the bill receiVes unanimous consent and becomes law then the air traffic controllers would have resumed work by Friday. The Government would only offer the' controllers a 7.43 per cent in- crease and other items previously agreed upon. let the largest police manhunts in combing the city of New York killer, Son of Sam, claimed his im last week. am, a psychopathic killer, beat e biggest police dragnets ever d last week to shoot a young is 13 and 1.4th victims.. Stacy died in hospital from gunshot the neck tied head and her condition in hotipital. One ttere,d his left eye and'surgeons s8 to save sight of the other WORLDWEEK The Mystery murderer, also known as the .44 calibre killer, strttck in the Brooklyn area of New York, and in doing so completely shattered a massive and elaborate trap set for him by the police departtnent. A 2,000 strong task force was employed to catch the killer and policeWomen' accompanied by policemen sat in cars hoping to tempt Sem out of the shadows. , The latest two victims were wounded bY four bullets pumped through the open window of their car parked in a lover's lane in Brooklyn, Witnesses told pellet that after the attack on the couple, Son of • Sam calmly walked away and disap- peared into the night. The special homicide task force with a core of' 60 special detectives, reinforced - by several others who volunteered without pay concentrated their manhunt on the borroughs of Bronx and the Queens. Fearful of another assault on the first anniversary of his first killing police were ordered te seal off any area of New York where gunshots were heard but the plan failed. Sam struck more than 19 miles where he Originally launched his reign of terror a year ago, Ballistics tests show that a bullet removed from Miss Moskowitz was from. the same .44 calibre gun used by the killer in all his previous attacks. The gun is a Bulldog revolver made by the Charter Arms Corp. of Hartford, Conn. and 28,000 of these have been sold. ,,So far the hunt for Sam has cost the city nearly $2 million or S16,000 per day since investigations into his first attacks were officially combined in April. Police Commissionee Michael Codd has promised New Yorkers all the money, manPower and equipment necessary to Catch the killer. Irut the only weapon -detectives have is sketches of the murderer and the description that he is 5 feet 9 inches tall and aged between 25 and .30. And they still have no motive for the killing. The leads to the police have been sketchy at best and despite the long working hours detectives are clinging to the hope that somewhere in New York city there is someone who knows the The only common denominator in the .case is that all of the victims have been yoling and between the ages of 17 and 26. Now young people all over New York city are living under the fear of Son of Sam and all young people are potential targets for the killer. Now police must consider all live boroughs of New York as possible sites for the hunt. Sam's discreet manzwr the killings is also complicating the manhunt. The failure of police to produce anything Concrete has New Yorkers in a, state of fear. A fear that Will not subside until Son of Sam is caught.
