Merchants in these areas said little or no increase in business was experienced and many simply remained closed for the weekend.

Medical students joined army engineers. to rebuilding river bridges used for most traffic leading to Bingol, None of the eight bridges over the River Murat, which flows by Bingol, remained intact after the quake. Blood donors gathered in cities and towns throughout Turkey to meet the demand of blood for injured survivors.

The rubble of a midwife school in Bingol yielded the mutilated bodies of 10 young girl students. A surgeon trying to save the lives of the school's surviving students said, "these girls were trying to learn how to bring new life in to the world and this was their kismet (fate), I am supposed to be a learned man but now I wish I was born a moron my eyes, my brain, my heart, my hands could not have suffered so much." ed by a campaign of terror were "totally false, malicious and unwarranted." Pakistan rejected as "totally unacceptable" the Indian note of May 14 carrying the allegation, it said. The note went on "it is the government of India which largely has to accept blame for whatever refugees there might be in India. "These people became vie-times of conditions created by India's armed infiltration into East Pakistan and distorted Indian propaganda Mrs. Gandhi spoke on the refugee situation after unruly scenes in the Lok Sabha (low.

She said there could be no military solution in East Pakistan, "a political solution must be brought about by those who have the power to do so." "The great powers have a special responsibility," she said. "If they exercise their power rightly and expeditiously, then only can we look forward to durable peace on our sub-continent." The great powers were also the target of an appeal from Tajuddin Ahmed, premier of the provisional government of Bangla Desh, who, according to The Times of London, asked for material and moral support from the United States and Great Britain. Times correspondent Peter Hazelhurst cabled, from Calcutta that we met with Ahmed at a secret rendezvous in East Bengal Monday. Ahmed, he said, wanted Britain and the U.S.

to immediately recognize his "democratically elected government." Ahmed's Awami League won 167 Bengali seats in the Pakistan National elections last December. "This will give us the right to ask all countries for help, including military assitance," Ahmed was quoted as saying. He also appealed for an international economic aid boycott on Pakistant. The money should be diverted to India for relief work among refugees from the Pakistan fighting, he said. Parents find missing child PETROIT (UPI) Some nightmares have happy endings, as Mrs.

Algean Patten found out Monday. "I had been down to the river at 3 a.m., looking for Pavid," she said of her 2-year-old son who had disappeared Saturday. "I saw something on the shore that I thought was him. But it was a dog. Then I came back home and tried to sleep." She had spent most of the weekend gazing into the Detroit River as police skin divers searched for her son's body.

But Monday morning police asked Mrs. Patten and her estranged husband, Nathaniel, to come to the Healy Shelter Home. "I didn't let myself get my hopes up on the way out to the shelter," Mrs. Patten said. "I told myself not to believe the boy at the place was my David until I actually saw When she did, she was too stunned to move.

"He didn't have a chance to run to either one of us. I just swept him up off the ground and held him," Patten said. David had been seen last by his family Saturday morning. While Mrs. Patten went shopping, the tot and his six-year-old brother, Freddie, had gone to play near the river.

"When I came home, one of the kids said David was with his daddy, she said. "I waited and then about 9 p.m. I got worried because I knew David didn't have his jacket with him. "When David's father came by here about 9:30 without him I ran out and called the police." Police said part of the delay in reuniting David with his family was due to the lapse in reporting him missing and his brother's report that David had fallen into the river. A passer-by had found the child wandering several blocks from the river, but only two blocks from home, and had taken him to the shelter Saturday afternoon.

No violence (Continued from Page One) other parts of the province to voice their opposition to the celebration of the Queen's birthday and what they called its symbolism of foreign domination in the province. About 300 paraded in St. Eustache norm of Montreal, scene of a battle between government forces and Quebec "patriotes" in the 1337 Lower Canada rebellion. Many had made the 15-mile trip from here in a motorcade of about 60 cars decorated with the red, white and green colors of the 1837 rebels. There was no interference by police standing by as the demonstrators marched through the Laurentian Mountains community carrying French -language pla- peaceful march from the Chateau Frontenac hotel to the Joan of Arc monument on the Plains of Abraham which organizers said symbolized the "complex of the vanquished in September, 1759." Both demonstrations contrasted with Victoria Pay protests to Montreal in 1964 and 1965 that resulted in rioting, arrests and injuries.

The arson outbreak in Montreal's southwest end, also an annual event, however, proved more serious than in other years, police said. Two firemen were slightly injured fighting the numerous blazes in the densely-populated district. Police in the region were put on full alert and escorted garbage trucks through alleys to gather up the fuel of the young fire -setters who take the opportunity on almost every holiday to go to work. Twenty-one-year old Lance Joseph Willson of no fixed address was sentenced to a one -month jail term to be followed by probation for one year after County Court Judge Thomas Zuber indicated there was still some hope for rehabilitation. Willson was earlier convicted for possession of a shopbreaking instrument a tire iron.

Willson and 19-year-old Douglas Neil MacDougall of Chilver Road were arrested on Oct. 5 after they discarded an iron near Forest Furniture and Appliances, 1199 Ottawa St. MacDougall was previously convicted for possession of a shopbreaking instrument and was sentenced to six months in reformatory. Defence counsel Cecil Croll told the court that Willson's pre-sentence report indicated he has a strong attachment to his family and his home life has stabilized. Willson is married, has one child and his wife is pregnant, Mr.

Croll said. The lawyer reminded the court that although Willson has an extensive record, many of the offences involved liquor. Willson has already been in jail for three months, Mr. Croll said, after he was sentenced on March 3. to a two-month term for being unlawfully at large after he failed to appear in court to face charges stemming from the Oct.

5 incident. In addition, Willson was subsequently sentenced to a four-month concurrent term for theft under $50 of gasoline. Judge Zuber noted that the pre-sentence report indicated a "rebellious attitude" on the part of Willson. But, he added, there was still the opportunity for rehabilitation. "You're still pretty young and by all the indicators, are entitled to a chance to rehabilitate yourself," he said.

Judge Zuber continued that no one could force Willson to accept help and another court appearance would result in a "pretty fair prison term." "You're going to look like an all-time pro the next time you come into the courtroom," Judge Zuber said.
