P.O. Box 820, Olds, Alberta Represented for National Sales by Western Regional Newspapers and Ad Reps, Vancouver, B.C. Entered as Second Class Matter at Olds, Alberta under permit number 0370 Phone 556-3351 page 3 During the recent Olds - Didsbury by-election, . several newspaper articles appeared dealing with gun control legisla- tion at the federal level. Quoted as being a nefarious bit of federal trickery was Bill C-451.. t was in- timated that this was.a govern- ment sponsored bill. The Gazette requested and ob- . tained a copy of Bill C-451. We find that this piece of legislation IS NOT sponsored by the federal government. . The bill is a private member's bill introduced by Warren All- mand; a former member of the: Liberal cabinet. The following is quoted from a letter that accompanied the copy of Bill C-451 which we received. Further to your request, please find enclosed a copy of Bill C-451. Please note that Bill C-451 1S NOT a Government Bill, but rather a private : members bill in- troduced by.Warren Allmand. In fact, the Government Bills While Great Britain and Argen- tina move their men and equip- ment across the South Atlantic in a giant game of chess that could lead to armed conflict, the world ponders the lesson of the Falklands. Here is a group of tiny, cold, rocky, windswept islands lying in the South Atlantic. Since col- onization began, these rocks have been under French, Spanish and British control. Argentina laid claim to. the Falklands because they say they were part of the South American empire of Spain which became the nation of Argentina. Britain has shown a willingness to negotiate that claim, but the British will .not recognize a notin the cards before the House at the present time are in the range of C85 to C88, therefore it will be doubtful if Bill C-451 ever sees the light of day in this Parliament. But even if a private members bill does come before the House it is allowed one hour of debate and if it is not passed within that hour the Bill dies on the. order. paper. Therefore there is only a very remote chance that this Bill would: come before the House and-even a lesser chance that it may be passed. Even if it is pass- ed it then must go to Committee and then be reintroduced as a Government Bill: Please rest assured that if this - Bill should come forward in this session that and- several other members intend to speak against it and talk it out. It is also interesting to note that Bill C-451 was first introduced on May 2, 1980 and that it hasn t yet appeared even for that one hour of debate that it is allowed. . Falklands crisis treasures that greedy men desire becomes a tantalizing morsel. The French islands of Pierre and Miquelon lying in-the Gulf of St. Lawrence beckons as a Canadian pirate prize. The hundreds of islands lying north and east of Australia in the South Pacific are equally vulnerable. If the world recognizes that the head of a tottering military junta can order the takeover of barren islands in the South Atlantic, what is to prevent a whole series of territorial takeovers by other states and other forms of govern- ment. In the crisis we must then recognize that Britain is right and that the act of Argentina is wrong. Mrs.. Boettger was u the winner of the door enjoyable. Ripe cana 5 games.

They out-skated, out shot and out scored their new found American friends to the tune of 7 - 3 behind some fine netmin- ding in the Roadrunner net. If the intent of the 20 team tour-- nament was to foster international goodwill and sportsmanship, on and off the ice, then the organizers must take a big bow for a job well done as all of these goals were certainly achieved as the players departed for home unabashedly extolling the vir- tues of Central Alberta and the friendliness and hospitality of the people who live here. Thus 'they felt they had learned a great deal about hockey, particularly how it is organized on the minor hockey level. They asked many questions and were giveri as much help as possible explaining our system and they hoped to incorporate much of it into their program. Olds Legion Midgets represented our town in an exemplary manner on and off the ice, winning all nine be out: done. The players and coaches are to be congratulated for playing hard when they had to and showing a good deal of restraint when the competition was .a bit below their usual calibre. Elsewhere in this paper Olds Minor Hockey have expressed their thanks to the many people, clubs, businesses. and parents and their families who contributed to make the tournament an verwhelming success. It certainly proves that Olds and district need never take a second place when it comes to staging a major event and what can be done when people work together. The Town of Olds and community should feel very proud of the co- operation shown from the various clubs, businesses, individuals, and arena staff who all contributed and supported this event to make it a huge success. Special thanks to Ross Ruttle, whose renditions of the Canadian. and American National anthems was a spine tingling experience. Special thanks to the many fans without whom the tournament could never been a success. Their vocal support for both the visiting and home clubs very much im- pressed our visitors and once more shows that when good hockey is played by either team it is noticed and appreciated. 4.

The Falklands are so barren, that one wonders why the British would send men. and equipment 6,000 miles to regain the territory. To answer that question, one It is again ironic that the British, who gave the western world its democratic forms of government, who bled almost to death against Nazi Germany; who have con- tinued to: bleed in their struggle companies to take over the R.E.A. s wherever possible. Apathy and lack of support by the members can create a situation where your Board of Directors feel there is no longer suf- ficient interest to keep the association in operation. Some of the directors who have been the mainstay of your association for many years are now retiring. Your support and in- terest is necessary to bring in new directors to take over. The board of directors and their wives paid tribute to two of these retired directors at a luncheon in the Bowden Plaza Inn. ie was a lL e to make public a major issue facing the faculty, namely the difficulty in negotiating a new contract with the Olds College Board of Governors which has resulted in an impasse destined for adjudication. Since O.C.F.A. presented a con- tract proposal to the Board on February 10, the public board members have absented, them- selves from negotiations and have appointed David Laird, a Calgary lawyer, behalf. O.C.F.A. s negotiating committee and executive have ex- pressed the faculty s concern that the public board members have turned their duties over to hightly paid legal help before any mean- ingful discussion had taken place. Since Laird has taken over, he has refused to recognize the O.C.F.A. to negotiate on their negotiating refused to deliver a counter- proposal. Further, College President, Glenn Crombie, has given wide circulation to private and confidential correspondence between the O.C.F.A. committee and Laird. Earlier O.C.F.A. had protested other leaks of negotiat- ing information and confrontation of faculty by a member of admin- istration over details of the con- tract proposal. Because of these problems, O.C.F.A. has reluctantly seen the need to declare an impasse in negotiations and to submit the contract proposals to adjudication.

That contract, a two year deal was worked out between the Faculty Association and the Board of Governors. It contained some 25 clauses which were to remain in effect for two years. Salaries, however, were to be and have been negotiated annually. The proposal presented to the Board of Govrnors, says a spokes- man for the faculty, added one more clause to the contract and modified others. -According to the faculty, the Board refused to deal with the proposal because it was too comprehensive. Mr. Laird, the board appointed negotiator, was not available for comment Tuesday.
