But the police were unable to Lay charges of impaired operation of a boat i and his support for or. Lyon admits the move has Many in the Lyon Camp worried. They be requested a meeting of the party s executive Council As soon As possible to Deal with the matter and put an end to setting a of any More phoney Straw Man Organiza it s concerning and could have a bad reflection on the party if it s allowed to go on the Way it or. Johnston said. I think it should be stopped. It s a reflection on the integrity of the party. It s a Lousy business and if you have one under the criminal code car Ries a maximum penalty of a pm Fine and or six months in jail. Ramp members at Lynn Lake Norway House and Lac Dubonnet told in Telephone interviews of some of their problems in dealing with intoxicated beaters. You be hit the Nail right on the said Cpl. Dave Dun Ford of the Lynn Lake detach ment. In any Community de pendent on getting around by boats these problems occur at South Indian Lake Lac Brochet and Gran Ville charges of impaired opera charges but if you Don t get a reliable witness and you need hard ramp spokesman in Thomp son flin flon Falcon Lake Ontario Kenora Tion of a boat Aren t common provincial at said the same problems occur when they Are confronted with Drunken boaters but Drunken Ness is much less frequent than in the More Remote areas of Manitoba. A spokesman forthe analysis Section at the ramp Headquarters is Winnipeg said be could t estimate Bow Many people were charged with the impaired operation of a boat because the ramp s records Don t differentiate Between cars and boats in records of in fractions. Another member of the ramp at Lac Dubonnet said about the incident on Beren group doing it you re going to enough said an ramp spokes get the other fighting fire with Man Lac Dubonnet. That s or. Johnston said the plan is Legal under the Constitution. However he said it was hoped the executive Council would be Able to put a Stop to it since the Council does have the Power to set ground rules for the convention. He did t know How far the youth movement had pro Gressed but he was aware that two such groups were in the process of formation in fort Rouge and Wolseley. He said the same could be done by women s organizations in the party but so far there is Little evidence of this. The Man reportedly behind the movement is progressive conservative youth federation president Grant Duch who is actively supporting or. Spivak in his re election and is one of the officials on the Spivak re election committee. He was t available for com ment Friday and was reported travelling in Manitoba. However he was expected Back in Winnipeg in time for a meeting at his Home at 2 . Sunday where one of the youth groups Why All these people Are the Manitoba attorney general s department has declined to say Why it has t authorized charges in connection with the Berens River drown Ings. When asked by a reporter to comment on the police state ment director of prosecutions Jack Montgomery said i doubt very much if the ramp had a real complaint they d go to some Little Gal in the news paper business. I really Don t think it proper to ask Why we re prosecuting or not. I Don t think it s reasonable when i Don t Autho Rize charges that i have to explain Why i. Did t Autho Rize the charges. The Only per son he the Crown counsel has to authorize charges to is the drownings at South Indian Lake and Lac Brochet said Cpl. Dunford have been directly attributed to drinking. It s difficult to police and to prove in court. By the time we re notified everyone has sobered up but the deceased River the seven people the boat were All drunk. Al were contributing own deaths. Can we blame just oni drunk when they All wer bombed we can t prove the Guy to be charged was operating the boat All the time would be a shaky was expected to be organized. Under the party s Constitution any 15 Young people there is no age limit can band together to form a group. All that is required is a membership fee. Such a group would automatically be eligible for representation at a leadership Conven Tion in More than one Way the group president would automatically be a voting Dele Gates and the group would have another Delegate As part of the Over All representation from a local constituency Orga the Constitution also allow for creation of Federal constituency youth groups and Young Peoples organizations within the province s universities and Community colleges. Each University group is entitled to Send five delegates to a convention. Thus the youth Wing could account for. As Many As 200 votes at the leadership Conven who s still in the Cpl.

Young people were mov ing South to a different Way of life. The islanders realized Only tourism could save the settlement. The government introduced a Park plan in 1969, promising the villagers preservation of their Community and a revitalization of the Economy. Today just four families re. Main. Instead of saving the Hecla settlement the govern ment Only precipitated its Dis solution. The historic fishing Village recreation which was to have preserved the settlement has Only recently been started on paper. By the time the Village is locked into its development program at Gull Harbor and that considerable Public monies had been by investing Money in the Beach construction the govern ment had a successful argument for expropriation of the summer cottagers. In a similar procedure the Hecla school was closed forc ing some families to desert the Island for the Sake of their children s education.

He said it could Force Testi Mony by laying charges punishable by a maximum Fine but added that it would be inconceivable that within a week after those people had one through this terrible or Deal they would be so charged. He said that if the hostages had been charged no Magis trate would have done other ban Grant an absolute Dis charge and we would not have had the under these circumstances we heard their evidence in camera frankly and they an s w e r e d every question we asked because of the danger that summer.
