I�y THE CANADIAN PRESS
Safe Driving Week seemed to lake little difference to Cana-ian drivers this weekend as the itality toll surpassed figures for wo of the last three weekends. A Canadian Press survey from p.m. local times Friday to mid-ight Sunday showed a total of 6 fatalities, 27 in traffic acci-rients.
Right persons died in two accidents in the Montreal area Saturday. Five other deaths on Quebec roads raised the province' total to 13.
Ontario had 13 traffic deaths A Newfoundland man died.when a car plunged over a Trans-Can ada Highway bridge.
Fire killed three persons in Ontario and one in British Co lumbia. A Toronto woman and elderly mother-in-law died, when their apartment was swept smoke from a fire in a downstairs restaurant.

boost of 14 cents an hour recom mended by a federal conciliatioi board.
Mr. Smith said the govern ment's edict is far worse than compulsory arbitration.
"In effect, the rail worker was tried, found innocent and sen tenced to five months," he said
The brotherhood leader saic the government should have endorsed a wage standard for rail workers based on the average hourly earnings of workers in the durable goods. - industry* which includes auto, furniture and heavy equipment workers.
"Such a policy would have established an orderly procedure for determining wages instead of going from crisis to crisis."
The durable goods yardstick or "non-op" wages was first in-roduced by the railways, then repudiated by them. The unions, lowever, took it up as their tandard and have been fighting or it in recent years. The 14-ent hourly pay boost was based >n it.
The teachers have rejected a suggestion by the school trustees' association that six northern interior school districts still involved in salary disputes arbitrate jointly.
Suggestion was made by the Northern Interior Branch of the B.C. School Trustees' Association and would have affected the Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, McBride. Dawson Creek and Fort St. John districts.
Spokesman for the teachers, Bob Moss, said it was their general view that arbitration should be carried out in each district as it has been in the past.
Trustees felt joint arbitration 'could only result in mutual advantage to all parties," a spokesman said.
