against act amendments Ontario police could work to rule or walk off the job in protest over proposed amend ments to the Police Act says Fred McDonald executive manager of the Ontario Provincial Police Association in Barrie He says police are mounting campaign against changes contained in Bill 114 which would establish civilian authority to handle citizens complaints against police McDonald says the changes will rob olice officers of any legal protection uring disciplinary hearings with the creation of powerful civilian commissioner of com plaints Under the bill that commissioner of com plaints could not search the living premises of an officer under investigation he said in an interview Tuesday But he could inspect the yard the officers car and with notification to the chief of police the officers locker and desk at the station McDonald says all the commissioner would need to obtain search warrant into an of ficers house is permission by provincial court judge which could be obtained by phone The new bill would also allow chief of police or OPP commissioner to fire any police officer suspect of poor or unsatisfactory con duct he says Under existing rules all of Iva had

Association of Occupational Health Nurses Approximately 20000 occupational health nurses along with more than 7000 oc cupational health physicians form unique medical monitoring system in the United States Mrs Carlson said at the 251h annual Presidents Meeting of the association If their services were used more widely by all employees many illnesses could be detected before requiring costly treatment and hospitalization tnthejob medical services generally eliminate long waits for appointments the need to be away from the job and other in conveniences which encouragc persons to delay or cancel health care appointments elsewhere she said Store bingo games MONTREAL CP introduction of bingo games in Dominion Stores has been branded as gimmickry by com etitors aroused angry opposition from Cont sumers Association of Canada tCACi and sent ripples of concern through Quebecs food industry Some observers say the move along with new price cuts might be the first round in yet another price war in the fiercely competitive chain store business in the province Ada Brown of Vancouver CAC Vices president condemned the game which of fers prims to shoppers ranging from $1 to $5000 for adding unseen costs to the food bill Dominion Stores marketing vice president John Toma denied the bingo game will cause an increase in food prices Evary day Is spooll In The Exsmlnsr Call 5200539 for homo dsllvsry ficers have the opportunity for disciplinary hearing Under one of the 52 offences in the act would be included the catchall phrase of un satisfactory conduct likely to bring discredit to the force says McDonald And unsatisfactory conduct is up to in dividual interpretation QUOTA SYSTEMS McDonald says such broad interpretation could lead to the imposition of quota systems on officers particularly in municipal forces Say man in charge wants quota system set up on how many tickets are issued in day he said Anyone who doesnt come up to his expected count could be considered to be giving an unsatisfactory performance Police officers should be ablc to deter mine for themselves when to lay charge not to be pressured by quotas Another concern police have over the new bill is the commissioners rights not to notify officers under investigation whether they face minor or major offences says Mc Donald ln the courts person is tried by summary conviction or indictment to indicate thc seriousness of the charge he said But un der this bill the commissioner could change his mind and the seriousness of the offence part way through an investigation Heafing setover The preliminary
