More than ever right now do.

we need a government which will

tell us the exact truth, said NDP
Leader Dave Barrett Friday night
to more than 200 members at the
annual Saanich and the Islands
Constituency .dinner at Stelly’s
school.

We don’t need a government
whieh spends $1 million: on an

referring to Social Credit TV

Nor was a-government credible

when it launched an attack on the

teachers: of the provinee, thus
cutting into the living body. of
education. on one. hand, and
spending more that $400,000 on
cabinet ministers” personal travel
expenses, on the other.

‘More than anything else right
now,’’ Barrett said, ‘‘we need a
government which will tell us the
truth — bad and good. We need
honesty.. Let’s have an end to

 image-makers. and get back to

basics. This gove rnment is tired.
It needs arest.”-

There. is.’a. madness. in. the
world, Barrett said referring to
‘the “proliferation of muclear
weaponry’ by the United States
and Russia. ‘‘Canada and. the

derstand that it was.a simple plea
for social justice.

The NDP. leader derided: the
advice given Premier, Bennett by
the ‘‘burnt-out hacks and flacks”’
in his office who gave him public
relations counsel.

What insanity, he said, to
advise the premier to. institute a
$1 million advertising program at
a time. when some 200,000 people
were. out of work. What is one to
think when he ‘says: ““l’m = your
only hope’* at atime when: his
government is $14 billion in debt
-and increasing the indebtedness
at the rate of $1,100,000 a week.

Barrett said, that about the only
skill the Socred government has is
that they are good. money

Missing
couple, boat
mystery

unsolved
On Feb. 7,° 1982: a young

couple rented a 22-foot: fishing
boat. from Brentwood. Boat
Rentals and vanished.

A year later neither the people
nor the boat have.been found and
Central Saanich police are none -
the wiser as to what became of
them. During the investigation,
however, they did learn a few
curious things.

The man who rented the boat

identified himself. as... John
McLoud, and gave a Calgary
phone “number. He. and- his

companion had been staying at
the Cedarwood: Motel:in Sidney,
where they left. some luggage
behind, and had registered witha
Calpary address.

At the time: both the address
and phone number appeared to
be-incorrect, despite the fact that
the man: had’ used an. Alberta
driver’s licence. - which does not
include. a -picture .- as iden-
tificaiton.

It. was: later established that.a
person of that name had lived at
the’ address. given sometime
before, and a jaier address: was
obtained at Grand © Prairie,
“Alberta. They the name to whom
the name and address belonged
was checked’. by
RCMP while hitchiking.

Since he. was: the subject. of

-report of a missing person and

possible. theft, Central. Saanich

-was notified, and his photograph »

“sent for‘ identification by wit-

nesses: here: It was not the: same.”

‘man who. had: rented the motel
~room and the boat.
It. was also established that

someone using the same name:
“had lived at. the: Calgary address.”
