I Man and His World A Woman film seized again In the lobby of the Windsor Hotel the other day onetime three-packs-plus-per-day smoker Daniel Johnson told this three-packs plus-per-day smoker it wasn't true he cut his consumption down to a half dozen cigarets a day. "What I did," said the Premier, "was to stop smoking completely. Now I really taste food and I am enjoying it. Not smoking also helps the digestive system." Knowing how difficult it is to stop smoking when you've reached the three-packs-plus stage, we asked YESTERDAY (to midnight) By LEON LEVINSON the July seizure took place.

It had been duly approved for adult viewing by the Quebec censors. The seizure of the Snowdon film and the arrest of the house manager took place almost simultaneously with seizure of a French sub-titled version. Up until last evening, the picture had been shown at the Papineau and Alouette, within the city limits, while two other copies were being shown at the Avenue Theatre in West-mount and the Fairview in Pointe Claire. Court) that is seized of the prosecution, to return the films that have been impounded and that it is holding under the Criminal Code." If United Amusements had a right to ask for the return of the films at this stage, he added, "the exercise of that right will be found in the Criminal Code." The company had not convinced him, he said, that it was- entitled to proceed by way of injunction. Referring to the injunction TOTAL ATTENDANCE 7,368,064 M0 Fair highlights today Srada Sainte Hilene: Horse show continues.

While the QLB has accepted 26 minor clauses of their proposed contract, the key issues of salary, job security, work-' ing hours, vacation and sic pay remain, to be settled.

The union is demanding pay increase of 34.5 per cent; for a three-year contract. The board has offered 15 per cent and claims it will not budge: from its original Average weekly pay is about. $81. Jean Marie Lacasse, a union leader, told the meeting no counter proposals have been forthcoming from the em-, ployer. "When we get some definite proposals, we will be able, to take a vote and return to work," he said.

Directly after the Montreal meeting, union negotiators rushed to Quebec City to address a similar meeting how he managed to quit jusi like that. "It's a matter of motivation," explained the Premier. And when we've figured that out we're going to give it a shot. You'll hear it in the vicinity of- Windsor and St. Antoine about noon-on Sundays and a most eerie wail it is too.

In fact if you were in the U.K. when the Luftwaffe was trying to make a lot out of the place the sound will stop you in your tracks. It has the pitch and variations of an air raid siren sounding the alert and you don't get to hear that sound these days. Last Sunday we decided to track it down and found that it came from a garbage disposal truck in Place du Canada. End of ominous mystery.

Getting back to the Windsor for a moment. There are two "new" lamps outside the Lantern, the hotel's seafood and cocktail bar, and if you look closely you'll see they're from Birmingham, Eng. They're from right out of the past, too. The Lantern's maitre'd, Steven, explained the lamps are about 150 years old and were originally gas lamps used to light the streets of Birmingham. The pair came to Canada as a present several years ago and became separated a short time after.

Finally the missing one turned up in Vancouver and was sent 'to Montreal to be re-united with the other. The City of Montreal gave two of the old posts that used to hold Ourtown's gas lamps to complete the picture. So the old lamps will glow again pretty soon illuminated by that newfangled thing called electricity. 4r THE PREMIER JOHNSON As we keep telling everyone who will listen, Man and His World is a stroller's fair. We were doing exactly that the other afternoon when we spotted this little tyke near the Biosphere.

He was wearing a gray sweatshirt and wrhen he turned around we spotted this message stenciled on the back: "Don't follow me I'm lost." There was another- youngster about 10 years old whose parents should be awarded something or other for their foresight. On the boy's sweater was a plastic-covered card with the youngster's photo in one corner. The rest of the card included the boy's name, his home address and phone number and his father's office phone number. Probably the best slugger in the history of the Montreal Royals ball club was Duke Snider. With this in mind Judge Marcel Gaboury suggests the' name of our new ball club should be The Dukes, or, Les Dues.

The Judge has something there, don't you think? terms barring further seizures or other interference with the showing of the film, Justice Casey had this to say: "This is a direct order to those charged with the enforcement of the criminal law not to act even though the circumstances may indicate to them that action should be taken. I have not been shown that the Superior Court has this power." The film had run for 22 weeks with English sub-titles at the Snowdon Theatre, when By ANDREW GELLER Success. Cameras snapped. "Who says Mr. Trudeau is the only one with any appeal?" the former PM quipped.

"It's too bad I'm not a politician. I'd get a lot of votes this way." Statesman and small child met at the Alexander Calder Stabile on He St. Helena during Mr. Pearson's one-day tour of Man and His World. Mr.

Pearson visited several pavilions, had lunch with civic officials, and said he found "the son of Expo worthy of its father." Then, at a news conference, he abandoned the role of elder statesman briefly to warn of the plight of underdeveloped nations and hint of a new role for NATO. FUN FOR ALL A A labor leader promised yesterday to organize a march of strikers on the Quebec Liquor Board's Montreal head office in an attempt to force payment of their vacation money. Raymond Morin, a leader of one of the unions which bargain for the 3,000 QLB employees who. have been on strike for almost eight weeks, was highly critical of management for withholding the strikers' vacation pay. At a local strike meeting yesterday, Jean Paul Lalan-cette, chief negotiator, for the unions, claimed the strike has another month to run before management will emerge with a realistic offer.

He gave a general rundown of what has happened since the early days of the walkout. The unions have met 'with Quebec labor conciliator Gilles Laporte, but not with management, since July 12. Mr. Lalancette contended the Quebec government planned to wait until it had nego (Gazette Photo Service) Former prime minister Pearson is surrounded autograph seekers Old politicians never The two copies of a Woman, seized by city police July 12 and released under an injunction order Aug. 1, were on their way back, to court custody again last night.

A unanimous decision by two judges of the Quebec Court of Appeal yesterday afternoon accounted for the new development, when a motion by the city seeking a suspension of implementation of the injunction was upheld. The injunction issued by Superior Court Justice Andre Nadeau two weeks ago in favor of United Amusements Corp. Ltd. not only ordered the return of the films but barred city police from interfering in any way with the showing of the Danish film. Under the terms of the order, further action by the police against the much-discussed picture was forbidden until final adjudication of charges against two United Amusement house managers of presenting an obscene show, namely a Woman.

The managers of the Snow-don and Papineau Theatres have pleaded not guilty to the charges under the Criminal Code and proceedings in the Municipal Court againslf them have been held up pending a decision on Sept. 18 on a motion to quash the complaints. Immediately after the Superior Court judge had rendered his judgment on Aug. 1 granting the injunction, Counsel Gabriel Maranda and Bernard Bilodeau, representing the city and the Municipal Court, inscribed an appeal against the decision. Furthermore, they exercised a right under the Code of Civil Procedure to make a motion before two Appeal Court justices requesting suspension of the effect of the injunction until the appeal is heard and decided.

In their notes to the judgment upholding the motion yesterday, Justices Paul Casey and Roger Brossard agreed that the Superior Court judge did not appear to have the power to issue the injunction under attack by the city. Justice Casey observed: "Here a court of pure 'civil jurisdiction has undertaken to order the court of criminal jurisdiction (the Municipal University by College By CLAUDE In a bid to become Montreal's second French language university, College Ste. Marie yesterday announced major administrative shuffles, including a takeover of the former Jesuit College by secular interests.

The city executive committee yesterday agreed to meet Miss Makeba's fee of $6,500 for the show, which forms part of the fair's continuing program of International folk-culture. No date has been set for the appearance, which will also include a group of Haitian dancers and singers, but officials hope to announce a time in the near future.

I don't know any bigger problem than that of the emerging underdeveloped countries." Pearson made few pronouncements and largely repeated what he had stated in office.

Marie ARPIN told newsmen the makeup of the new administrative council conforms to "a public character which teaching institutions must avail themselves of today." The transformation, he said, is part of the general evolutionary trend in all colleges. "More precisely," he added, "the transformation was carried out in view of the impending creation of a second French-language university in Montreal.

"And it was carried out in complete accordance with the Quebec Department of Education." Mr. Delorme, who serves as legal counsel for Standard Brands Ltd. refused to say whether Quebec had offered his Centre a university charter. "But we are ready this year if need be to assume the responsibilities of a university," he said. The Centre d'Education Sainte-Marie, he added, is willing to channel its human and physical resources into a second university.

He said some 6,000 students will be enrolled in university and pre-university courses this Fall. The college employs 269 professors. Physical resources of the college include three buildings, a dozen laboratories and workshops and a library stocked with some 80,000 books.
