EDMONTON JOURNAL, Monday, Sept. 17, 1973 36 Announcements most Student attendance takes dive ii ii nil V' 3 Tribute to Percy Page More than 150 people attended the opening Saturday of the Percy Page Centre for Recreation Associations in St. Albert, a new facility to service 40 Alberta recreation associations with office space, meeting rooms, a gymnasium and a stage for theatrical groups. Grant MacEwan (at the rostrum) was one of several speakers who paid tribute to Dr. Page, a former lieutenant-governor and coach of the famed Edmonton Grads women's basketball team, who died earlier this year.

Located in the former Mission Park School, the centre will be administered by the department of youth, recreation and culture. Mrs. Page unveiled the plaque for the new centre. New party pledges to raise helL abolish income taxes Birc'lment in the Edmoton separate school system has taken a precisted dip. Total enrolment in Grades 1 to 12 dropped by 336 with 30,526 siudeots registered by 5 cc-moared with 30,862 the same time hst year.

The e'ecreases came in the elementary grades where the number of students dropped by 855. This was offset by a slight increase of 193 students in junior high school and a moderate increase of 326 students in senior high school. Kindergarten enrolments were also up due to new programs instituted by the provincial government. This year 1,134 children regis' e-ed in kindergarten ch-ses comoared with 576 in regis! 3f blesses snd 192 in druses last year. Kindcraar enfo'ments were counte'1 formally for the irst time this year due to new "oveniment rcgnlatons.

But thev were not included in ths system-wide figures so cam? arisen between last year and this year would be valid. 2 charged in murder CALGARY (CP) Two Calgary men were to aopear i i provincial court today, one charged with nxi-capHal mur-de- ard the ether an accessory i'i connection with the death Sunday afte-noon of a 30-vear-old msn. Clarence Donald Morrison, 29, has bean charged with non-capital murder, and Gary Russell Smith, 25, has been changed as an accessory after the fact. They were arrested Sunday night. The body of the man, whose name ws withheld, was found behind a grocery store in snu'hwest Calgary.

Police said he wm beaten to death. Only 35 would travel to see Queen LONDON (Reuter) Some 39 per cent of Britons polled by the mass-selling Sunday Mirror would like to see the monairchy abolished, the tabloid says. Only 35 per cent said they would travel five miles to see Queen Elizabeth "even if they knew they cculd get a gocd view." Publiyhini? tre of its poll, The Sunday Mirror said the survey stowed a strosg undercurrent "of public criticism which could barely go unnoticed by Royal advisers. The paper said 70 per cent of these polled would not contribute money towards a wedding present from the queen's daughter, Princess Anae, who is to marry army Capt. Mark Phillips on Nov.

14. Queen Elizabeth topped the royal popularity chart with a vote oT 52 pe cent. Drugs, liquor lethal mix for teens TORONTO (CP) Drug researchers and educationists have joined in warning of the danger posed by combining alcohol with drugs, a potentially lethal mixtu becoming more popular with teen-agers. John LaRccque, director of the Addiction Research Foundation, said in an interview that marijuana, tranquillizers and amphetamines are used "in conjunction with alcohol and the user's reactions are totfTy urnredictable." Keith Kiddell, a psychologist and chairman the Eto-bicoke board of education, stressed that common prescription drugs, in addition to marijuana, are being taken with alcohol.

M219M Collectors9 'convention big success CINCINNAATI, Ohio (AP) Hotel porters shook their heads as thousands of beer cans, all empty, filled the ballroom. "I'm sure glad I don't have to clean up this mess," said one, surveying the stacks in assorted disarray. Some 550 persons from 38 states and Canada are attending the third annual convention of the Beei Can Collectors of America, called "Canvention" by the membership. The coDventbners brought an average 250 cans each to trade. "Three Blue 1 i 1943," chanted a young boy, out hustling trades in the lobby of the Hilton hotel for his father.

Mrs. Karen Boaden, Toledo, Ohio, said she doesn't collect cans "but my husband does. You wouldn't believe it. I've got a whole room full of beer cans at home all four walls. I thought my husband was nuts, but now I see this and there are a whole lot of nuts around." Al and Louie Strano, of Newark, each collected cans before their marriage.

M218M Deaths I DRIVER GETS NEW HOSES FOR OLD RED DEER (CP) Stan Piebiak's car was the victim of a case of mistaken identity.

Mr. Piebiak of Blackfalds, had parked bis car in downtown Red Deer but subsequently saw a tow truck dragging it away. He cal'ed RCMP who called the garage which owned the tow truck. An embarrassed mechanic told police the garage had received a request to pick up a customer's car for service and had taken the wrong one. He said Mr.

Piebiak's car had been returned to the spot where it was found. And in the end, Mr. Piebiak came out ahead. Before the garage realized its mistake, it had added antifreeze and installed a new set of radiator hoses in Mr. Pie- biak's car.

He was not charged. GEO ffi (UHlilillilJ Sears mand under the Libertarian Alternative within one year of a takeover by the party "all public schools would be sold to private or religious interests." Brent Bissell, another director of the parly and a third-year Commerce student at the University of Alberta," said "taxation is theft. Government is organized crime and the activities of the Mafia are pale in comparison. "Government financing is so insidious that citizens don't realize they're being taxed." When to explain the new party's relaxed attitude to drug peddling and prostitution, Mr. Bissell said these were "victimless crimes as no one was being forced to do anything and therefore no moral or legal law was being violated." When a member of the public asked party president Dick Reimer, 27, a professional engineer and a systems analyst at the University of Alberta how Canada couid operate without taxation, he replied "Do we need a government ot this complexity?" He said the party's stand is that taxation would be purely voluntary, and that if the finances were not forthcoming, this would be a vote in the party.

Mr. Evoy said that perhaps some kind of lottery system could be developed, "with a total long-range goal of tax through educating tne public." Mr. Reimer said if party came into power in the province they would release the government's monopolies for example the telephone system wlfich would be free to raise its prices as this would be fair in a competitive system. Mr. Reimer was asked how this might be instigated without an interim period of chaos and how tlie telephone system might be kept from charging outrageous prices.

"It wouldn't take long for someone to come up with a cheaper sys em," he replied. Mr. Evoy, at the conclusion of the meeting, said he personally believed that a change in the constitution was the key to the (individual) not having his rights abrogated. "If any politician advocated infringement of rights, he would be impeached," he said. A Dew political party advocating abolition of income taxes and minimum government interference in business held its first public meeting in Alberta Saturday.

About 70 people attended the meeting, called by the Libertarian Alternative, in the Jubilee Auditorium's club-room. During the meeting, Marshall Bruce Evoy of Toronto, guest speaker and pro-tern chairman of the federal said "it will take a while for the party to become viable but when the nex; election comes up, we can raise hell." He also said that if the country was "going down the drain" he would run in the federal election. Explaining the philosophy of Libertarianism, Mr. Evoy said man was not a computerized automaton and that laissez-faire capitalism was com- Calgary plumbers9 talks fail CALGARY (CP) Talks aimed si ending a three-w -o 1 plumbe' s' strike broke down Friday night with 10.5 cents hanging in the balance. Lvh Tackaberry, business agent for Local 496 of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipe Fitters, said no further negotiations were planned.

The strike, which has tied more than 30 construction pro'eots worth about $123 million, started when the contractors refused a demand for 16 cents an hour in fringe benefits over the $9.24 offered the plumbers. Mr. Tackaberry said more than 100 of the striking plumbers bad left the city to S33k work elsewhere creating a danger that when the strike ended there would be a shortage of workers. Labo- Minister Bert Hobcl ssid last week a mediator would be appointed sooa to bring about a settlement, bur no further announcement has been made. Meanwhile p-ovincial mem-bers of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters decided Friday to take a strike vote next weekend.

A strike by the city's 1,200 carpenters would effectively tie up construction despite any settlement of the plumbers dispute. SOUTH EDMONTON DENTURE CLINIC LTD. G. Guenther Certified" Dental Mechanic 8014 105 SI. Ph.

One of three other speakers, Robin Gillespie, 21, a third-year commerce student at the University of Alberta and a director and spokesman for the party, slammed the present system. "What has the government done for you?" he asked. "The government taxes you to support free education whether you have children or whether you use it or not. It taxes you to support a cesnor board which decided that you shall see or hear it taxes you to support a health care plan whether you want one or not," and amid laughs, he said, "it taxes you to pay for the operation of the tax department."
