On the school front yesterday the situation remained substantially the same with two small suburban PACT locals on strike, most members of the Provincial Association of Protestant Teachers and 60,000 of the Corporation des Enseignants du Quebec. The CEQ-affiliated Alliance schools all over the city. "We students and parents are very worried about the eventual examinations and about being out of school," it reads. "We politely ask you, sir, that to even thinfjs up we would like the average of the first and second terms to be taken as the final mark for provincial and other exams." LEGAL WALKOUT Meanwhile, the Provincial Association of Catholic Teachers announced yesterday that about one-third of its teacher syndicates have received strike mandates and will legally able to walk out around April 24.V ,1 By GAIL SCOTT of Ths Gazette Two grade eleven students at James Lyng High School who think "it's useless to lose a whole year through the fault of others" are busily trying to do something about it.

The teachers of LIna Capor-icci, 16, and Eralda Quercia, 17, are not on strike. But their school has been closed anyway since April 11 due to picketing maintenance crews allied with the common front. WEATHER Earlier this year, they lost another week of school partially because of weather conditions and now they are starting to worry about the tough departmental exams they face in June. "We going to have to write them and if this 1 keeps up we'll fail," said Una. So' yesterday they started circulating a petition calling for the abolishment of depart-mentals, at least for this year.

They want their marks to be based, instead, on the average of the first two terms' work. The petition will be sent to the minister of education next week and Lina and Eralda hope by that time to have hundreds of names of students and parents from Teens' be abolished made, even though several ''studies have been carried out. Finally, the federal government recently banned commercial supersonic flight over inhabited areas in Canada, putting the whole future of Ste. Scholastique as a super-: sonic jetport In question. The ban on supersonic flight would mean a Concorde or other supersonic jetliner would Police puzzled by shooting of transit worker A 54-year-old MUC Transit Commission inspector is in hospital today recovering from gunshot wounds inflicted yesterday by an unknown assailant.

Police said Lucien Dufour was attacked in the entrance of- a building on. Cote de Liesse Road in St. Laurent by a tall yman with light brown hair. A police spokesman last night was unable to cite a motive for the shooting. Dufour was not robbed.

Dufour was shot in the nose, neck and arm and later underwent surgery at the Sacre Coeur hospital in the North-End Cartierville i s- trict. The victim is married and is. a 25-year veteran of the transportation commission. Laurentian Autoroute. Although several highly imaginative plans have been put forward to move passengers to and from the city, none have been announced as accepted.

Even the- road system to serve Ste. Scholastique has not yet been decided, although several possibilities are being explored. SPECIAL RAIL LINK Among the so far undecided plans for the area are, railways operating on a cushion of air, roads which have a special lane for buses and special adaptations of the turbotrain, which once ran between Montreal and Toronto. But the access routes are within the provincial jurisdiction. So far Quebec has not been willing to announce such a project.

The other major difficulty involves connections with the present international airport at Dorval. The new airport will.be about the same size as the present one with a capacity of about 6 million passengers a year. Since the new airport will concentrate on international traffic and the older one at Dorval will serve the domestic market, a link between them is vital. No announcement of such a link has yet been Rule Swedish film not $100,000,000. "There are a couple of factors which have contributed to the later starting date," Baribeau says.

"The first is the complexity of the terminal buildings. They took quite a while to figure out. "The second is that we feel the original starting date given may have been too optimistic." 5 Baribeau is "pretty well certain" the new completion date for the jetport can be met, in spite of delays which have plagued the project. Even if the airport construction can be kept on target for 1975, the project faces other serious difficulties. "So far, there is' no access' ters.

Again quoting Father gault, he said the sex scenes were necessary to the development of the personality of the woman and gave the film "a certain sociological and moral value." The judge quoted jurisprudence to the effect that "in cases close to the border line, tolerance is to be preferred to proscription." it was important to remember, he said, that the film was restricted to persons over 18 years Further, he said, "it must be noted that a film is seen only by those who want to see it and who go there knowing usually in advance what to expect from it." obscene New By KENDAL WINDEYER of The Gazette The first phase of Montreal's new jetport at Ste. Scholastique has slipped back at least one year. Instead of going into service in the spring of 1974 as called for in the original plans, it is now scheduled to receive its first aircraft sometime during 1975, says Benoit Baribeau, director of the airport project. "We have not made any secret of this," Baribeau said in an interview. "In fact, we have been talking quite openly about it for some time.

We just haven made any formal announcement." The first phase of the project will cost slightly more than $212,000,000 and the price several witnesses, including a Roman Catholic priest, Father Emile Legault, indicated that there had been "an evolution in the feelings of tolerance on the part of the community between the years 1962 and 1968." He cited Father Legault as testifying that he would never have come to give evidence for a film which unduly exploits sex. There was nothing in said the cleric, "which is shocking or unpleasant from the point of view of the normal standards of an average viewer like myself." 'NECESSARY' There was no doubt in the judge's mind that the picture, dealing with the life of a young nymphomaniac, was on the whole an exploitation of sex which was its dominant characteristic. But he found that it did not "unduly" exploit sexual mat The Gazette telephones CIRCULATION 871-121 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Births, Deatns, Miscellaneous 864-4771 Rentals 66-1871 Employment 866-6511 GENERAL 861-1111 Individual HP Traffic roar to pose problem for college I mmm By LEON LEVINSON of The Gazette The Swedish film' A Woman," seized by morality squad police in 1968, was held yesterday to be no violation of our obscenity laws.
