By UNITED PRESS CANADA Trudeau spurns Soviet pledge UNITED NATIONS - Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau Fnday spurned a Soviet pledge not to be the first to use nuclear weapons as rife with “enormous pitfalls” and missing the heart of the problem. Addressing the special U.N. session on disar- mament, the Canadian leader said he sym- pathised “with those making the plea” because they were people con- cerned with the ‘horrendous im- plications” of nuclear warfare. Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev pledged in a special message to the assembly Tuesday that the Kremlin “assumes an obligation not to be the first to use nuclear weapons.” The U.N. charter “lays down that there shall be no first use of force — any force” Trudeau reminded the assembly. NASA tracking mystery object MOUNTAIN VIEW, Cahf — Two unmanned spacecraft speeding near Uranus and Neptune may soon reveal whether a 10th planet, a black hole, or a dark star pulls the planets 600 miles off course each” year, scientists say. Data going back to Galileo shows Neptune and Uranus are regularly pulled from their predicted orbits by gravitational force — but the cause of the deviation has never been deter- mined. The Nationa! Acronautics and Space Administration's Ames Research Center said Thursday its scientists last summer began ap- proaching the problem with data from Pioneer 10 and 11, the most distant man-made objects in the solar system. Data analysis will begin in October and an answer might come in three years. NASA said. They said a large, dark- Star type object perhaps as big as the sun and perhaps 50 bilhon miles beyond the outermost planet coud produce the orbital shifts in the two planets.

They've brought something extra by revitalizing the system with new concepts.” Wickstrom said School District 44 was now “heavily loaded with older, ex- perienced teachers.” Student enrolment in North Vancouver is_ ex- pected to drop from 16,500 to below 15,500 in Sep- tember. “A lot of those young leachers are going to have trouble finding any jobs as the problem of enrolments is compounded by the difficult economic times.” a worned Wickstrom explained. Although the = superin- tendent said the drop in the number of teachers would not mean less education programs, it could mean distnict support services for some programs would be cut back. “At the distnct level, support services will be hurt and it will be difficult to help,” Wickstrom said. Making matters worse is the fiscal restraint program, which forced the board to eliminate 10 additional teaching positions for special programs at the elementary level. “It's extremely demoralizing,” Fraser said. Prospects for reappoint- ments of temporary con- tracts in West Vancouver are not very encouraging either as the number of teachers hired under that category will drop from 45 to 1S. Declining enrolment was a big factor in West Van- couver, but Supenntendent Ed Carlin also pointed to the number of regular teachers returning from leaves of absence. “All of those teachers out there on leaves are retuming home..... I imagine it has something to do with the economy.” Carlin said.
