Speaking in the Ontario legislature, Wrye (L Windsor-Sandwich) said the league's rejection of a proposal to move the St. Louis Blues to Saskatoon was ill-timed and unfair.

EXQUISITE ANTI-NUCLEAR activists stand in the rain after security guards refused to let them set up a peace camp Guards tear down peace tent LEAMINGTON Leamington Police arrested seven people Friday morning in connection with two separate break-ins. Three male suspects were arrested near the IGA grocery store on Talbot Street East early Friday. Four other suspects were arrested near Lloyd's Mini Mart, also on Talbot Street East. Deputy Chief Murray Mellow said the break-ins were unrelated. Thieves stole about $100 worth of goods, mostly frozen meat, from the IGA store at the Metropolitan Mall.

Spokesman Abie Weisfeld, who helped establish a peace camp set up in April on the lawn of the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, said the Toronto group will continue the protest nevertheless. "We consider nuclear bombs nuclear arms, said it was repre-hensible of the Conservative government not to allow the group to set up a shelter. "They claim this is a rule everybody has to follow," Johnston told the group, which was holding a soggy banner under a tree in the rain. TENTS HAVE never been allowed on the grounds, which is public property, said an aide to Government Services Minister Doug Wiseman.

"Anyone can demonstrate and we'll even provide a public ad to be weapons of mass murder and we oppose the possession of these instruments of war by anyone," Weisfeld said in a statement for the group. "WE ARE going to maintain our vigil here on a 24-hour basis until the federal government hopefully with the help of the Ontario legislature declares it is not going to sign the cruise missile weapons testing agreement."
