After a 90-day campaign, punctuated by policy debates, all 117,000 PQ members will be asked to vote for the candidate of their choice by mail. If no candidate receives an actual majority of 50 per cent plus one of the votes, there will be a runoff the next weekend, when second choices will be taken into consideration.

4 PIERRE MARC JOHNSON aspiring RENE LEVESQUE retiring By AILEEN McCABE Southam News MONTREAL Pierre Marc Johnson stayed out of sight Friday in a reflective mood his office said pondering the challenge of Rene Levesque's decision to resign. Scourge of the independence hardliners, darling of the moderate nationalists, Johnson is the undisputed front-runner in the race to replace the Parti Quebecois premier. Until Thursday night at 11:22 p.m., when Levesque's resignation announcement was revealed, it was an unenviable position to be in. He was caught between loyalty to Levesque and personal ambition. No matter what Johnson did in the six months Levesque's leadership has been under fire, there was always someone looking for an ulterior motive.

Indeed, for the first time since last November, the 38-year-old justice minister was be able to walk into a PQ meeting today and gladhand the delegates without fear someone will accuse him of trying to undermine the boss. Against all odds, he has remained untouched by the ham-handed work of Levesque's anonymous critics. He has emerged as an almost sympathetic character, a man embarrassed that journalists and pollsters kept throwing him up for comparison to his leader. Even Levesque realized what an uncomfortable situation it was for Johnson. Asked if he minded that the polls showed Johnson was more popular than he was, Levesque told reporters in January: "Yes, and could I prevail on you not to insist too heavily about that, because you're in danger of hurting Mr.

Johnson who I think deserves all his chances." Tall, silver-haired and well-born his father Daniel was Union Nationale premier from 1966 until his death in 1968 Pierre Marc Johnson has had quite a few chances in his short lifetime. They have combined to make him an attractive candidate for the PQ leadership. The same polls that have been showing Levesque trailing Liberal leader Robert Bourassa by 33 points, suggest Johnson is only about seven points behind him. And that, Johnson supporters point out, is before the publicity bath of a leadership race. Although Johnson is an active and seasoned minister, he is not a natural politician like Levesque or Brian Mulroney.

He is not the master of the 30-sec-ond radio clip or stinging retort, but rather a ponderous, somewhat sonorous orator. He has, nevertheless, carefully cultivated the National Assembly press gallery and on a one-to-one basis has impressed many of those who will be reporting on his campaign. However, those contacts may do little to offset the powerful enemies Johnson has acquired in recent months people who will do just about anything to block his bid to take over the PQ. Independence hardliners blame Johnson for the party's decision to adopt a neo-federalist stance and many have pointedly kept their PQ membership just to stymie him. Certainly he was one of the most vocal opponents of the idea of an election on independence and, although he has since denied it, it was widely reported that Johnson forced the independence showdown which would eventually convince so many other ministers to resign by himself threatening to resign unless the PQ changed its stance.

Elected in 1976, Johnson is both a doctor and a lawyer. He entered politics while still finishing his internship at Montreal's Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital and before entering cabinet often worked in the emergency ward on weekends. I 1 NOW OPEN SUNDAYS!

"Tricia did not look very good at all," said Bur-well, the 36th Crown witness.

Burwell said he gave the family a ride, got them a hotel room in Kamloops, arranged for a part-time job for Wildman, and the next day signed an agreement with Tricia's mother for him to take the girl for three months or until the Wildmans got settled in B.C. He said he and Tricia then flew back to Winnipeg where his common-law wife and a foster child lived. After about six weeks, Paquette showed up and asked to get the girl back. The trial will resume Monday, BRANTFORD, Ont. (CP) A young girl who was later murdered was walking, shoeless and dragging a teddy bear, along a highway in the mountains of British Columbia when a truck driver encountered her family in 1974, an Ontario Supreme Court jury was told Friday.

Robert Burwell of Winnipeg testified that in May 1974, he met Tricia Paquette, then four, her mother, Joyce Paquette, and her stepfather, John Wildman, walking along the side of the Trans-Canada Highway. Wildman, 32, of Brantford is being re-tried for the first-degree hatchet murder of the girl, whose frozen body was found beside the Grand River in Brantford on Feb. 19, 1978. He has pleaded not guilty. He was found guilty in 1978, but the Supreme Court of Canada ordered the iHii i87 per DAY PER DAY CORRECTION CANADA DAY SALE Sunday, Juno 23 to 100 WATT CONTINUOUS MUSIC SYSTEM WITH COMPU-SELEC-TOR CIRCUITRY l' I I 100 watt system with 100 watt system with SANSUI'S DALLAS MUSIC SYSTEM FOR A HOME FULL OF MUSIC!
