media to help HAMILTON UP Ontario Premier William Davis im plored the news media Friday to be responsible in coverage of the national unity debate and not interpret the federal elec tion results as evidence of dis unity In speech to meeting of the RadioTelevision News Di rectors Association the Davis said high proportion of the Canadian population relies al most totally on radio and tele vision news for information This places large responsi bility on those involved in news gathering and provides chal lenge to all those involved in public affairs As we near the period of time during which the province of Quebec expects to carry out the referendum which is so im portant to its future and to our own the temptation towards polarization will be great and we can expect that there will be some who will respond to that temptation But it would be serious dis tortion if the people of Quebec or its news media took 0n tarios refusal to negotiate sov ereigntyassociation with Que bec as meaning that the prov ince is unprepared to embark on new definition of Con federation The premier said it is too easy to take an isolated in cident such as the minority Progressive Conservative win in this weeks election and distort it so those who read the Quebec news media believe there is growing apathy and division in Canada about what the Quebec people decide to do Throughout Ontario the people went to the polls to ef fect change Firstly and foremost that is their right Secondly after 11 years of one style of leadership it is surely neither extraor dinary reactionary nor revolu tionary for voters to make de cision for change Egypts Sadat to view reclaimed Sinai town EL ARISH Egypt AP Egyptian President Anwar Sa dat flies to this dusty Sinai Desert town today one day after
