Fish and Game group may picket Suffield
The Alberta Fish and Game Association mulls picketing the Suffield Military Reserve to protest its use as a British Army training area. President Tom O Keefe favors turning the site into a national park and wildlife refuge. An agreement allows two thirds of the 1000 square mile area for drills while ranchers see potential for grazing and wildlife. Col M L Weisman said environmental damage risk is low and Britain will follow safety rules. A federal wildlife service environmental report on the troop training was submitted but not released.

Munro backs full ban on cigarette advertising in Canada
Ottawa Health Minister John Munro praised cigarette makers for interim steps under a partial advertising ban but urged passage of Bill C-248 to end all cigarette ads. He backed government wording for health warnings and called for tar and nicotine content to appear on packs.

Munro noted doubled anti smoking budget to 350000 and said voluntary ad limits began January 1 while full ban may not finish in Parliament by then.

Union asks loosening of ties with United States
The Canadian Union of Public Employees representing 156,000 members urged Canada to loosen economic ties with the United States and pursue new publicly owned Canadian industries. Delegates condemned government policies they say leave Canada economically dominated by the U.S. and hinder inflation and unemployment relief. They called for expansion of trade with other nations and massive public investment in Canadian industries, housing, schools and health facilities. They opposed wage guides or price freezes as solutions and urged rights to negotiate when technological changes threaten jobs. A second resolution sought equal wage and job opportunities for women.
