MACKIE Special Correspondence Supply and Services Minister Richardson said Friday he is in the process of developing a long term plan for expansion of the minting capacity of Canada's Royal Mint.

He said engineering studies are going ahead concerning the future of the Royal Mint, its possible location and its capacity. He made the statement, outside the House of Commons, a day after Acting Prime Minister Sharp and some other government leaders In the House had said they had no knowledge of ny plan to move the mint from Ottawa. In the past Mr. Richardson has suggested the Royal Mint may be moved to western Canada, possibly Winnipeg, as part of a long-range plan to diversify government agencies.

Richardson if negotiations are underway to relocate the mint at Winnipeg. Mr. Richardson was prevented from replying to the question by Mr. Speaker moureux who ruled if out of order because a similar question was asked Thursday. Outside the House, Mr.

Maki Workers Jeer Fournier By DAVID YATES MANIWAKI (Staff) Quebec Solicitor-General and Gatineau MLA Roy Fournier was jeered and hooted at as he left a meeting of unemployed workers here Friday. Boy, 7, Rescued Tenants were forced to the treet in their night clothes Just before dawn today when Are broke out in a second-floor unit of an old apartment building at 347 Elgin Street. Platoon Chief Don Foster, who led fire fighting operations, said the fire was confined to the living room of the second-floor apartment and firemen had little trouble putting it out.

But everything in the living room of the apartment, occupied by Mrs. Alice Murphy, was destroyed and there was some smoke and water damage to adjoining apartments. Mrs. Lucy Auge, superintendent of the three-storey, U-shaped brick building, helped rescue Richard Murphy, 7, who was being looked after by a babysitter. She said she was awakened by screams and when she ran to the Murphy apartment and yanked the door open, the interior was filled with smoke.

The Murphy living room was in flames. Mrs. Auge said she heTped little Richard downstairs. He was suffering from smoke inhalation. Later the little boy, face blackened with soot and smoke, sat huddled in a blanket in an ambulance that was sent to the scene.

Mrs. Murphy arrived home just as firemen were mopping up. Surrounded by his QPP bodyguard and entourage of five aides, Mr. Fourrrier strode quickly 'from a meeting room in the local arena as 100 persons thrown out of work when the Maki veneer plant closed" April 9 gave him a Bronx cheer. Mr.

Fournier had gone to the meeting to explain why the plant had been sold to Mani-waki Forest Products which will rehire no more than 80 to 100 of the former 180 employees, rather than an American firm which promised to take all the workers back. During his talk which outlined events leading up to the sale of the plant, the crowd remained quiet and attentive. To one questioner he explained the Societe Generals de Financement which owned the plant could not wait any longer for Leon Rapp, of New Jersey, to come up with the purchase price. "It was necessary to have a considerable sum of money ($350,000) to buy the plant and it wasn't available immediately," said Mr. Fournier.

He pointed out it was better for the plant to start back in operation as soon as possible which meant accepting the offer of Maniwaki Forest Products. As the question period went on, the boos became more noticeable and Mr. Fournier became gradually more peeved.

Retarded Man Crippled After Shovelling Snow at 30-Below-Coroner Prompts Probe By DAVE McKAY A two-month investigation prompted by a city coroner could result in charges being laid against a Richmond farmer after a mentally retarded man In his care shovelled a 300-foot driveway in the 30-below xero cold of. a February night and froze his hands severely. The 25-year-old mentally retarded man Is now crippled from wet gangrene In both hands.

Coroner Dr. Roger Hughe was spurred on In his call for an Investigation by tha case of a retarded Indian boy who hanged himself last March $, Dr. Hughes said he is determined to expose the "inhumane treatment" of many retarded youths. He said names. In the recent case are being withheld as charges are expected to be laid In connection with the Incident.

A summary of an investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police, Ottawa detachment, has been sent to Ontario Health Minister Bert Lawrence, Ottawa-Carleton Crown Attor ney John Cassells, and Ontario's supervising coroner. Dr. H. B. Cotnam.

a The man, the responsibility of the Rideau Regional Hospital in Smiths Falls, was admitted to Kemptville General Hospital In February with wet gangrene after he was brought in by a neighboring farmer. After a month of treatment, the lnan was returned to ths hospital in Smiths Falls where he is being retrained for other work. His crippled hands are useless for farm work, said Dr. Hughes. Dr.

Hughes was Informed of the incident while he presided over the Inquest into the death of Frederick Sanderson, an 18-year-old Indian youth from the Smiths Falls hospital who hanged himself on another Richmond area farm where ha worked for $5 a week pocket money. "I was not completely satisfied that the Sanderson case was an isolated incident," said Dr. Hughes. Dr. Hughes notified Toronto officials of his new findings and was told to assist in all ways possible In Investigating any new evidence of mistreatment of mentally retarded patients.

"I feel as a coroner you must not wait for a death to occur before doing something to prevent it I have heard that the cruelties and inhumane treatment of these mentally retarded youths goes on unnoticed and I intend to see something done about It," said the coroner. Dr. Hughes notified the OPP and an undercover officer began gathering evidence for charges. How does society stand for this type of thing: asked the coroner. "The same social worker from the hospital who looked after the well-being of the Indian youth who hanged himself, looked after this man.

His visits were very Irregular and most times he didn't even see the man," he said. rw CORONER HUGHES Spurred Probe).
