Pair face
burglary
charges

Kelly Gordon and Brian
Seymour pleaded not guilty
to charges of breaking and
entering before Judge
Darrall Collins in Terrace
provincial court on Tuesday.
Gordon also pleaded not
guilty to a charge of stolen
property.

The two men were charged
after police stopped Gordon
on Feb. 14 near the Dairy
Queen on Lakelse Ave., said
Tom Bishop, Crown counsel.

Constable Lester Schell,
an RCMP officer, said he
found stolen property in the
orange truck driven by
Gordon. A cassette tape
deck, two flashlights, two 50-
cent pieces, a pocket watch
shield were found in the
truck, he ‘said. These items
were reported stolen after a
break-in occurred at a
Queensway residence on
Feb, 7, Schell told the court.

Schell said Gordon gave
him the name of two other
suspects living on River
Drive in Thronhill. They
went to the residence where
Schell asked Seymour and a
juvenile to go to the police

station with him, Scnell told
the court.

Schell said the juvenile
gave him a wrist watch
which was entered a stolen
property exhibit in the court .
on Tuesday,

Schell said he took the
three suspects back to the
police station and in-
tarviewed each of them
separately after reading
them thelr rights.

He'said that after the In-
terviews the three suspects
were taken to the house that
had been broken into on
Queensway and asked them
if they had been there before.
He said each suspect said
“Yea",

After the court heard
evidence from crown wit-
nesses, Don Brown,
Seymour's lawyer, asked for
an adjournment because he
wanted time to locate and
interview a defense witness.

Judge Collins said he did
not like to adjourn a case at
that particular juncture
because the court's schedule
was filled up for one month.

-He adjourned the trial until

Nov. 29 at 10 a.m.

BUCHAREST (AP) —
Nine persons were killed and

with « blood-alcohol level
over .08. Her drivers license
was automatically
suspended, The court was
told she was charged afler
she was seen driving on the
wrong side of the road. A
police car was approaching
her in the same lane.
Judge Collins said that
singe it was her first offense
the fine was smail but next
time it will not be so
nominal. ‘You were a real
menace on the road driving
in that condition,” he said.

“The recent an-
nouncement by the federal
government to maintain the
“Pana” weatherships on the
B.C. coast has been well
received,” Jim Fulton,
federal NDP candidate for
Skeena, said recently. “The
co-ordinated efforts of many
individuals foreed Ottawa to
reverse the decision to cut
this vitalservice. One cannot
but wonder,’’ continued
Fulton, “as to what flimsy
reasons were behind the
September decision to end

the weather service. Surely
the federal government is
not In such a mess that
program funding is based on
public outcry, and yet there
have been no firm reasons
given for the switch
around,” Fulton said.
Programs that are of a
sound scientific nature must
have the security of Jong
term funding if they are to
achieve their goals. Fulton
said, The approach of the
New Democratic Party is to
make long term strategies

that will pay off aver many
years, and this business of
three and four budgets per
year, combined with random
cuts and restraint, is no way
to run a country.”

Accurate weather
forecasis, warnings to the
fishing fleet, freighters and
tankers are only a partof the
work done by the “Papa”
weatherehips, Fulton
maintained, In 1976 for
example, he said, the ships
relayed 27 messages for
aircraft, 4333 for ships and

four for ground stations® Also
during that year 1104 safety
messages, 585 urgency
messages and 64 distress
messages were intercepted.
In addition, 519 aircraft wera
contacted,435 radar fixes
provided and 16 radio
direction finder bearings
furnished.

“Tt is time Canada had a
government that ig
responsible for its actions,"
Fulton said, “This bit and
miss attitude is destructive
to our national stature.”
