officers casebook is referred to at hearing Just answer the question and lets get on with this afiid provincial judge Don In Defence lawyer Moishe Reiter was into his second day of crossexamining somewhat reticent Royal Canadian Mounted Police un dercover constable Brian Calnen Reiter is defence lawyer for Robert Rowbotham charged with three courts of trafficking in anarcotic preliminary hearing is being held in Barrie provin cial court now to determine whether there is enough evidence against Rowbotham to put him on trial before jury The trafficking charge carries possible life sen tence Generally there is ban on publication of proceedings of preliminary hearing but Reiter requested one then withdrew the request in the first day of evidence had Reiter been questionina Calnen ahnlit how much beer he had drunk during his contact with Rowbotham and whether he had recorded it in the large case book he was using to refresh his memory The book contains about 60 pages of notes on Calnens contact with Rowbotham and John Mepstead also charged in the investigation Reiter had spent most of the morning fighting for the right to look at Calnens book arguing that since Calnen had used it for reference he could be crossexamined on it Prosecutor John Burgar did have copy of the book and Reiter felt he should have one too After concluding that Calnen had used the entire book for reference Judge In ch allowed Reiter to examine it and question Calnen on the contents The judges request to get on with this was symptomatic of the entire days proceedings He repeatedly halted Reiter rvhnp hh hlHin tn Ivnvnr areas flVNAJIE 0F RESEAR CH he had already questioned on and often had to wait whenever Calnen was asked question requiring reference to his 60 pages of notes Whenever Reiter wanted to look at Calnens notes Burgar would follow him to the witness stand and look over Reiters shoulder Finally Reiter protested to Judge Inch saying Burgar had his own notes to look through The gist of Calnens eviden ce so far is that on July 22 1975 he went to the farm oc aipied by Rowbotham and received one marijuana cigarette Aug he returned with Constable Jocelyn Belec with the intention of making larger purchase in order to get evidence against Rowbotham After being in the area three days he at tempted to make the pur chase Aug He had planned to buy vial of hashish oil cannabis resinl At the time he tried to make the pur chase Rowbotham was asleep so had asked Mep stead Mepstead had no hash oil so sold Calnen quantity of marijuana CARRIED TAPE Aug and Belec had carried tape recorder in her purse and Calnen had radio transmitter concealed in cast on his left arm The tran smitter was to transmit any conversations to receiver operated by two other con stables in car nearby The constables were to record what was transmitted However the transmitter didnt work on either oc casion and Calnen speculated it may have been due to sweat from his arm The preliminary continues sometime next week whenever court space is available Thursday at pm in the court on Vespra Street is the only definite day There will be bail hearing for Rowbotham who has been in jail since Nov 20 Thursday at930am Seals being tortured group claims VANCOUVER CP The Greenpeace Foundation says scientists financed by the federal government and the oil industry are torturing and killing seals in the name of Will try for changes on gun control issue FROM THE OTTAWA BUREAU OF THE EXAMINER Ross Milne LPeel Dufferin Simcoe has joined group of about 15 other members of the Federal Liberal caucus who will at tempt to persuade cabinet to soften some of the rigid new gun control measures Most of the MP5 represent predominantly rural con stituencies from Newfoun dland to British Columbia which are expected to be har dest hit by the gun legislation Mr Milne who is in the unique position of represen ting riding with large rural area but densely populated urban sector does not share all the concerns of his colleagues and doesnt argue as vehemently against the more controversial proposals of the legislation Nevertheless he does feel some portions of the Peace and Security Bill that are related to gun control must be refined support the bill very strongly in principle but want to change it so it has higher acceptability in rural areas Mr Milne explained There can be no com promise however on the ef fort to register gun owners he claims and that is the geatest point of contention in PeelDufferin Simcoe If theres better way what is it he asked suggesting that almost everyone is in agreement on the intent to restrict firearms ownership to those that are fitand competent The only way to accomplish that Mr Milne claims is to register owners The system of screening owners the proposal requiring them to obtain guarantors which is similar to the regulations ap plied to passport applicants Over 800 musicians take part in Kiwanis Music festival By MURIEL LEEPER The Orillia

theory is that the community itself would have the authority to say who should or should not own guns he said The MPs main objective in joining the group is to smooth out some of the rough points in the proposed legislation IOORLY WRITTEN As an example he cited the section of the bill dealing with ammunition The description of ammunition he claims is not definitive enough and poorly written Another major concern to Mr Milne is that of licensing and the fees that will be charged to gun owners research In news release Friday the environmental action group said the charge is based on an environment department report which describes how about 30 ringed and harp seals were either forced to eat acute doses of crude oil or were covered aompletelyin oil The report details the animals
