The Windior Star Friday, October 14, 1977 5 PM assailed for Canada's Governments still study Bendixjobs cynicism Federal and provincial industry departments may indicate next week if any action can be taken to salvage any of the jobs Bendix Corp. plans to terminate at its two city plane, Windsor West MP Herb Gray said Thursday. Gray said he has asked the federal industry, trade and commerce department, along with Ontario's industry tfhd tourism ministry, to determine if Bendix's decision to end the jobs and transfer work to the U.S. meets requirements of the Autopact. Bendix, which manufactures braking equipment, confirmed Oct.

4 it would not rehire at least 250 of its 704 Windsor employees, members of UAW Local 195, who were on strike all summer. The company moved some production lines to other U.S. Bendix plants during the strike, from June 23 to Sept. 19, and hassaid it isn't economical to move them back. Although there is no legislation to prohibit the Bendix move, Gray said he hopes the senior governments might use "moral persuasion" to get the jobs returned.

"I've asked the departments to get in touch with the head offices of Bendix to see if they can get the work transferred back here at the earliest possible time, or even over a longer period," he said. Tom Schafer, president of Bendix Automotive of Canada, has said he can so see no change in the near future to the company's deci2ion to reduce production at its Windsor plants on Prince and Argyle roads. Gray also said Thursday, he is working with Local 195 to clear up a misunderstanding with the province's Unemployment Insurance Commission (UIC), which left 65 Bendix workers whose services were terminated a week prior to fhe strike without unemployment benefits during the strike. The employees were included with workers involved in the labor dispute and therefore not available for UIC benefits, Gray saia. John Moynahan, president of Local 1 95, said Thursday the union is hopeful the workers will be reimbursed for the benefits they missed.

He said the union has received co-operation from the local UIC office, Bendix and Gray and should have the "unfortunate situation" cleared up shortly. Moynahan said the mixup likely occurred at the UIC's regional office in Belleville. The UIC ruled that the hourly workers who didn't return to work at Bendix were eligible for benefits as of Sept. 20. 'if A I If It I Of ft Jj Prime Minister Trudeau has created a mood of "insecurity, mistrust and cynicism" among Canadians from coast to coast, and is using national unity as an issue to divert attention from the country's more serious problems, Lambton-Kent Progressive Conservative MP Robert Holmes said Thursday night in Windsor.

Dr. Holmes, speaking to about 60 residents and members of the Windsor Walkerville federal Progressive Conservative Association, said Trudeau's concern over Canada's unity has itself become a disruptive force. "Canadians have been benched on the sidelines to watch the gamesmanship of Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Levesque.

After 10 years of Trudeau, Canada is more divided than at any time in its history," he said. Holmes told the audience that people across Canada are beginning to realize they have become "faceless in the eyes of Ottawa," and have begun to recognize the insensitivity of the Liberal government toward their problems. He said the country's serious difficulties inflation, unemployment, the high cost of living have been forced to the background by Trudeau's fear of losing Quebec and his inability to cope with them. "The threat of a breaking up of Confederation did not begin with the election of the Parti Quebecois," Holmes said. "A language policy does not create jobs.

A language policy does not put food on the table or pay for utilities and rent." Holmes said Canadians should have no illusions that Quebec Premier Rene Levesque is going to change his views on separation. But he said the people of Quebec can be persuaded that a united Canada is the best thing they could hope for. Holmes said later he expects a federal election by the fall of 1978, with a possibility of a vote in June, 1978. He said he is confident that Canadians "will be bright enough" to bring about a change in the country's leadership. The address to the Windsor-Walkerville association brought an end to a full day of activities in Windsor for the Progressive Conservative MP.

Earlier he received some pointers on urban renewal from a Drouillard Road citizens' committee. Holmes, who said he was touring the area simply to see a federal government program in action, got a look at the second section of Windsor designated under the Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP). Under the revitalization scheme, federal, provincial and municipal funds are provided to improve parks, streets, sidewalks and sewers. A companion program funded by the federal government in the form of gtants and low-interest loans is allowing residents to repair substandard homes. Named the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP), it is aimed at improving existing housing rather than tearing down homes and replacing them with large housing projects.

So far, more than 100 of the 760 homes in the Drouillard NIP area are being repaired under RRAP, which advances as much as $10,000 to homeowners in a low-interest loan. As much as $3,750 can be in the form of a grant. Gino Marcus, head of the citizens' NIP committee and president of the East Windsor Citizens Committee, told Dr. Holmes that some residents are skeptical about taking government money to fix up their homes, because they are afraid there is a catch. But he said the government funds can help save a Pathologist tells court of findings Photo by STAN ANDREWS projects in the Drouillard Road area.

Mr. Marcus told the MP that some residents are skeptical about taking government money to fix up their homes, because they afraid there is a catch. CITIZEN MEETS MP Gino Marcus, left, president of the East Windsor Citizens Committee, talks Thursday with Dr. Robert Holmes (MP, Lambton-Kent) about government-sponsored improvement neighborhood renewal programs, he has learned that major improvements to roads and parks should be well under way before residents are asked to fix up their homes. This way residents will be able to see that the city is sinking money into their neighborhoods before they are asked to go into debt under the RRAP program to fix up their homes.

Mr. Marcus said the East Windsor Citizens Committee is in process of opening an office on Ontario Street near Drouillard Road where residents will be able to register complaints or make suggestions about improvements to the neighborhood. neighborhood that could disappear within 15 years if neglected by govern ments. There is about $400,000 available in loans and grants to Drouillard area homeowners to fix up their dwellings. In addition, $1.6 million is being spent to develop a park and improve roads and sewers.

Marcus said he is a little disappointed in the $1.6 million in NIP funds because there is not enough to replace worn-out sewers in the area, which are now simply being repaired. He said that from experience he has gained in the Court told of bloody fight in stabbing death of Windsor, who has been charged with second-degree murder in the death in l976of Kerin. Carriere originally was charged with Kerin's death but was acquitted last May after Kit admitted to an Ontario Supreme Court jury that it was him, and not Carriere, ho stabbed the victim. Kit was subsequently charged with thedeath. Carriere testified that "like a fool" he became involved in a discussion between Kit, Kerin and Roger Lcbert at Lebert's By ALAN HENDERSON A Windsor man told an Ontario Supreme Court jury Thursday that he began fighting with a Warren, man without being aware that the man had already been stabbed with a hunting knife.

Randall Mark Carriere, 26, said that after striking Thomas James Kerin, 29, several times, he discovered a considerable amount of blood on his and Kerin's clothing. "We were covered in blood and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from," he said. Carriere was testifying on behalf of Richard Allan Kit, 25, home over a disagreement that had developed between Kit SARNIA Fifteen-year-old Susan Lynn Scholes of London died of stab wounds, loss of blood and possibly strangulation, a pathologist testified Thursday. Dr. Ram Gidwani, a pathologist at Sarnia General Hospital, was testifying at the trial of Christian Herbert Magee, charged with murdering the London girl June 15, 1976.

Dr. Digwani testified there were signs of forced sexual intercourse as well as evidence that some kind of ligature or cord had been tied around the girl's neck. He said death "could haveensued in three to five minutes." He said Scholes had a puncture wound to the throat and another stab wound in the chest caused by an instrument with a sharp point and edge. There was another superficial wound near the pubic area, he said. Dr.

Gidwani said a knife introduced as evidence by Crown Attorney Andrew Lang could have been the one used to stab thegirl. It's design, he said, was "consistent with the type of wounds incurredbythedeceased." Under cross examination by defence counsel John Drake of London, Dr. Gidwani maintained that the wounds were consistent with the type of weapon exhibited, but admitted, the possibility that another similar knife could have been used. The knife in evidence was seized by Ontario Provincial Police following the murder in June, 1976. The girl's body was found by James Frayne, a farmer from the Forest area, ijear the Con.

17 of Bosanquet Township. During the morning courtroom session, Mr. Justice John Morden ruled following a voir dire hearing that the knife could be introduced as evidence. On Tuesday, he ruled during a similar hearing that seven color photos of the girl's body were not admissable because the evidence could be presented as effectively verbally. Dr.

Gidwani told the six-man, six-woman jury the cause of death was a stab wound to the throat from a sharp, pointed instrument as well as the loss of more than 750 cc. of blood, from the chest wound. He said the girl was about six weeks pregnant at the time of death. Dr. Gidwani said several blood samples, mouth and vagina washings and swabs were sent to the centre for forensic science in Tordnto for analysis.

A scientist from the centre, Dr. William Towstiak, testified that he had examined blood and semen samples entered. as exhibits. The top portion of the bikini forwarded to the forensic centre was cut in several places and had blood smears on it, he said. Dr.

Towstiak also testified there were human blood smears on a jacket and a pair of blue jeans seized from Magee when he was arrested. "There was not enough sample to identify the blood as to type," he said. Dr. Towstiak testified that a sample of grass removed from beneath a Ford truck seized from the accused was similar to a sample of grass removed by police from underneath the dead girl's body. He said the knife presented in evidence did not have any signsofbloodonit.

"That tells me one of two things: Either the knife was very carefully cleaned or it was never used to cut flesh." Earlier Thursday, Howard Edwin Brand of Lake Road West in Bosanquet Township, identified Magee as the person who, on June 15, disposed of a disabled animal on his farm with a small calibre rifle. His daughter, Sally, 17, identified the truck driven by the accused and said it had been at their farm at about 2: 1 0p.m. on the day in question. and Nertn.

Kit testified he arrived at the home of Roger Lebert on County Road 42, near County Road 19, on July 24, 1 976, for a party that was being held for a friend who was moving to Vancouver. He described how Kerin had punched him in the face when Kit had accepted an offer for a "hit" of a liqueur, peppermint schnapps. He said he feared Kerin, whom he described as a dangerous man who wasknown tocarry a gun.

He said that he agreed to an attempt at reconciliation with Kerin because there was considerable "tension in the air" because of the blow to his face. He said that he was' sitting cross-legged with Kerin and Lebert when a man, whom he couldn't identify, asked if the disagreement had been resolved. Kit said Kerin said he would resolve the matter without discussion and began swinging a bottle he had in his hand. Kit said that as Kerin was getting up from a sitting position, he reached into his back pocket for a hunting knife he had been using earlier for repairs on his motorcycle and "stuck" Kerin.

The fines came as a result of the city's crackdown on dog-owners who have failed to purchase a licence for their pets this year. Altogether IS persons were scheduled to appear in court on the licence charges. Outside of the guilty pleas, the rest either pleaded not guilty or failed to appear. The city bylaw provides a fine of up to $50 for failure to purchase a dog tag.

Deputy City Clerk William Braun said in a telephone interview Thursday that people who haven't bought dog licences can do so by sending a cheque or money order to City Hall, dog licence department, along with a description of their dog. If the dog is spayed the owner can either send a veterinarian's certificate or swear to an affidavit. Prices of licences vary.
