Sayem named Zia chief martial-law administrator a year later and on April 21, 1977, resigned and nominated him as his successor. He was confirmed by a nationwide referendum the next month.

The boat owned and driven by Phillip Grison, Chatham, was reported missing about 9 p.m. Sunday after failing to return from a planned 10 km (6.2 miles) excursion from Wallaceburg to Mitchells Bay.

With Grison were his son, Greg, Todd Violot, Brent Bordeaux and Barry Wil-lmore, all of Chatham. Wallaceburg detachment OPP said the boaters apparently changed plans and set out for Metropolitan Beach on the outskirts of Detroit, when their engine quit Sunday afternoon. Grison called his wife at 10:15 a.m. today after The Tempest, his six metre (20-foot) powerboat, drifted into Grosse Pointe acht Club. The boaters fired flares overnight, but attempts to find them by the U.S.

and Canadian coast guards and OPP were unsuccessful. Canadian Coast Guard said the search for the men began Sunday night after they were reported overdue from their 6 p.m. scheduled arrival at a Mitchells Bay marina. The search was conducted in an area between Wallaceburg and Mitchells Bay and in various canals in between. A U.S.

Coast Guard helicopter joined the search today at 6 a.m. and followed the route the boat was supposed to take. A rescue boat from the U.S. Coast Guard station at St. Clair Flats also participated in the search.

Several of my teeth were cracked, my head and back were injured, and two bones in my neck were broken. I finished out die shift that night and returned to a sit-down job for the next couple of weeks. After that 1 filed for Workmens Compensation Board benefits which 1 collected for about a year. Then, even though my specialist diagnosed my headaches, neck, and back pains and attributed them directly to the blow from the chunk of ice at work, WCB cut me off. WCB did this saying the aches were not accident-related but due to a replacement leg prosthesis I was prescribed.

This simply cant be however, since I never used the prosthesis except to test it for the doctor. And being cut-off WCB benefits has dumped a lot of hardship on my family and me. The sudden lack of income resulted in our home being taken away from us and forced us into Windsor Housing Authority. My sole income now is from welfare. And thats only $95 per month my rent alone at WHA is $123.

Now because my income cant even cover the low rent, Im being forced out of WHA too. Meanwhile Im stiii taking prescribed medication to alleviate the pain from my 1978 accident. L. Wilson, Rankin. Well over a year ago two different specialists including a written submission from the director of the regional rehabilitation centre stated in your favor that any problems associated with the new prosthesis were the result of your accident at work and not the other way around.

The fact that these submissions were disregarded, led to WCBs decision to disentitle your benefits, and the subsequent loss of your home. Dr. Ted Bounsall, who has presented many appeals for WCB recipients, regarded this as one of the clearest cases in a recipients favor hed seen yet even the appeal was inexplicably denied. Upon contact from this office Bouisall subsequently launched action for the next step an appeal board hearing. Held April 3, 1981, the review board has delayed rendering its decision based upon the recent submission of additional medical information.

Meanwhile, we felt your problems serious enough to be brought to the attention of Hon. Keith C. Norton, then minister of community and social services. As a result of that, an allowance under the Family Benefits Program was extended to you, as were arrangements for you to receive premium-free health insurance, and a drug card to cover all of your prescription costs. As for WHAs eviction threat, we werent very helpful to WHA was undaunted by your hardships, your intentions to pay, and the presently optimistic outlook offered by your compensation claim.

Gun-related incidents net charges A 35-year-old city man faces six criminal charges today after two incidents involving four women hitchhikers last weekend.

Police said the first incident was at about II p.m. Friday when two 18-year-old women were picked up while hitching a ride on Ouellette Avenue. The man drove them to the area they requested in South Windsor where he pulled a gun from under a jacket. Police said he threatened the women with the weapon and later, when the women complained, he let them out of the car. The victims told police there was no handle on the passenger door.

The second incident took place about 1 1:30 p.m. Saturday when a pair of 19-ycar-old women hitch-hiking on Wyandotte Street were given a ride by a man. The women told police the man drove to an area on St. Luke Road, parked the car and pulled out a gun. Police said the man indecently assaulted both women and made one partially disrobe.

He later drove them to Wyandotte and Langlois Avenue and let them out. Police said the suspect was arrested at a Wyandotte Street East apartment Sunday afternoon and a pellet gun was seized. The man was to be arraigned today on two charges of possession of' a weapon dangerous to the public peace, two of unlawful confinement and two of indecent assault. apparel limited College board of governors chairman Fred Cada told the graduates the 1980s are shaping up as "the age ofcommit-ment." He said the graduates are entering a world where people are yearning to belong to a community sharing many common goals. We, the members of another generation, are confident you will make a success, he told the graduates.

College president Bruce Me Ausland warned the graduates about falling into the trap of adapting to every passing change. With adaptability you can blow with the wind and have no sense of self or direction, he said. Windsor, Toronto trip rolls in $30,000 Two tired friends rolled into Toronto Sunday ending a four-day, 386-km (240- mile) roller-skating marathon from Windsor in which they raised $30,000 for crippled children. "I can't believe we made it on eight wheels," said Chris Kayser and Shelley Moyle, 29, who started from Windsor Thursday with $500 in pledges, had raised more than $30,000 for Ontario's Easter Seal Campaign by the time they reached Toronto. More pledges are expected.

The largest donation, came from the drivers of Kingsw ay ransports Ltd. The skaters, who held hands for most of the trip, had little preparation for the journey. We had been skating every night for the last couple of months and Shelley suggested we do something for charity." said Kayser. "Im happy its over, im happy we made so much money, but I can hardly move." Easter Seals spokesman A1 Fraser said the couple had to skate for 13 hours in busy traffic and against the wind Sunday to complete the marathon. They arrived at Torontos city hall about 8 p.m., five hours later than planned.

"Theyre a little worse for wear and have swollen feet, but other than that theyre fine, he said. Other than the gruelling 13-hour skate from Brantford to Toronto Sunday everything else ran smoothly, Fraser said. The skaters generally followed Highway 2 and made stops at Chatham, London and Brantford. Anyone wishing to contribute to the campaign can do so by mailing a pledge to the Easter Seals Society, 350 Rumsey Road, Toronto, M4G 1 R8. Pledges should be brought to the attention of Chris and Shelley.

Another Windsor decoder supplier, Rick Piet, says his company, AAA Television has received threatening letters and phone calls since getting into the decoder business eight months ago.

Piet said the company has made 6,000 decoder kits and sold about 30 per cent of them to Americans. Among the users of decoders in Windsor are 14 apartment buildings feeding the programs to their tenants by a master antenna system, Piet said. Krzeminski said an old man bought a unit and then decided to return and get a refund after the agents talked to him. Krzeminski says Channel 20 has singled out Video Gallery. "Theyre trying to make an example of us because weve started advertising on TV and radio.

Video Gallery owners were upset at the presence of Channel 20s representatives, but Windsor police say no Canadian law was violated. "All the people they talked with were American," said S.Sgt. Gus Widmeyer. Widmeyer said a complaint of harrassment would have to have been lodged by a citizen before police could have taken action. Video Gallery, which also sells the decoding units through a Sarnia distributor, has also been presented with an application for an injunction issued in Michigan, summoning the owners to court July 8 for airwave piracy.

But Krzeminski says the document is They don't own the signal when it crosses the border." He said two lawyers from Detroit were in the store Saturday and told him there was no need to worry. They told me it was as significant as a comic book," Krzeminski said. ON TV has 65,000 subscribers in the Detroit area and SELECTED MENS SHIRTS HOODED SWEAT SHIRTS BELTS When I got it home, I noticed the Phiico color television I purchased May 4, 1981 at Erie Appliances Television Ltd. had a picture tube booster hanging from the back of the set This makes me think the picture tube is about to go. I paid $371.29 for the set which the salesman told me was tuned and in good working condition.

I dont think I got a fair deal con-- sidering the picture tube will probably only last a few months. The company wont give me a refund unless 1 purchase a new set but it did extend the 30-day warranty to 60 days (labor not included). I want a full refund. I didn't pay nearly $400 for a set that will only last a few months! K. Chase, Leamington.

Ed Houlahan, owner of the store, said that putting 1. boosters on most used televisions before selling them is common practise in the business. The life expectancy of a picture tube could then be extended. Although he conceded that it may last only a few months, he added, it could last up to three or four years. As for the warranty extension, Houlahan said it was good for 90 days not 60 and confided that he would even honor it beyond that.

But if youre really uncomfortable with the set, he agreed to give you a full credit on it towards the purchase of a new one. The Blondie record I purchased at Shoppers Record Tape Mart at Devonshire Mall, skipped. Although it skips on both family stereos, it does so in different places. I should add that both stereos have diamond needles in perfect working order. When I returned -Blondie to the store I was refused a refund because it didnt skip on the store equipment.

Even so, I paid for a new record not a defective one. H. Braun, Virginia Park. Sound 21, parent company of Shoppers Record Tape Mart, will only authorize replacement when an audible defect can be recognized. However, Capitol Records said it would be happy to replace your record but it first needs the title.
