The allegations against the
RCMP and the army have
raised many questions about
the tactics used in investi-

as embassies receiving letter |
bombs, somebody has to
intercept those tetters. How- |
ever, not all the cases are s
cut and dried. —

Last week the Nor-Wes

Caps ‘released coach Lee

Downs because the man-
agement felt the club was not |

that a better record might.

Since then a number of
avid Nor-Wes Caps fans ‘have
contacted the North. Shore
News, contending that larger
crowds would be attracted if
the conditions and atmos-

The fans do not: agree,
however, as one man writes,
‘‘No, coach Downs, it is not
your fault that the atten- |
dance is low...you were
moulding a good strong —
all-new-this-season team.’’
Instead the fan wonders
when the ice arena last got a
coat of paint.

Perry Kulak of the Recrea-

“On Fridays we have

about twenty minutes to pet

the place clean before a

Caps’ game,’ Kulak ex-

plained, ‘’and to do a

spotless job would mean a
massive staff.

‘“‘We could put heaters
along the back walls,’’ he
said, commenting on the
temperature problem,’’ but
that would put up the

electricity costs to keep the
ice cold.”’

Kulak points out that such
moves would require putting |
up the costs to the team for
the use of the rink and in turn

used to pack them: in every

when the team was a.
contender and had more.
things going for it. He says —
there is likely more to the

attendance problem than the

coach or the state of the

Meanwhile the Caps have
been trying to boost atten-
dance by selling the first
ticket for the regular price
and the second for a dollar
but Jack Bloom says they
can’t alter from the league’s

adults and $2 for students.

I don’t think police should
break the law. There should

be some provision in the laws .
to allow them to investigate

cases involving national sec-

No, because people have
rights. If the pelice can’t
solve the case without an
illegal act, they should have
some other recourse such as
intervention by the Prime

Minister.
