MONTREAL
(CP)
-
A
quick
settlement
of
the
strike
by
350
Teleglobe
Canada
technicians
appeared
unlikely
today.
But
company
officials
remained
optimistic
the
strike
would
not
disrupt
overseas
television
transmission
of
the
Olympics.
"The
strike
is
still
on,"
said
Teleglobe
spokesman
Brian
Townsley.
"Things
are
much
as
per
normal,
supervisory
personnel
have
been
maintaining
service
without
problems."
Teleglobe
is
a
Crown
corporation
which
provides
relay
facilities
to
beam
radio
and
television
signals
from
Canada
to
overseas
points.
Union
officials
agreed
with
Mr.
Townsley
that
negotiations
are
unlikely
to
resume
in
the
dispute,
which
began
Monday
when
the
technicians
walked
out
at
Teleglobe
installations
across
the
country.
Management
originally
was
told
that
the
strike
would
last
for.
24
hours,
Mr.
Townsley
said.
It
was
later
reported
that
the
technicians
had
decided
on
an
open-ended
strike.
"Our
negotiating
team
would
like
to
meet
with
the
union
this
week
just
to
confirm
that
this
will
be
an
indefinite
walkout,"
Mr.
Townsley
said.
The
striking
technicians
have
conceded
their
supervisors
may
be
able
to
keep
the
relay
equipment,
most
of
which
is
completely
automated,
in
operating
condition.
Meanwhile,
union
officials
for
technicians
at
the
Olympic
Radio
and
Television
Organization
(ORTO),
which
produces
the
pool
television
signal
for
the
various
foreign
networks
covering
the
Games,
have
indicated
they
may
refuse
to
supply
any
coverage
through
Teleglobe.
Shop
stewards
for
the
ORTO
technicians
are
to
decide
later
this
week
whether
to
boycott
Teleglobe
for
the
Games.

from

Angus
L.
Mac-donald
bridge
today
as
the
royal
yacht
Britannia
brought
the
Queen
to
Canada
for
her
ninth
visit.
The
big
yacht
slipped
out
of
heavy
fog
and
was
warped
into
her
jetty
at
the
naval
dockyard
just
a
few
minutes
behind

accompanied
by
a
small
armada
of
,
pleasure

which
formed
an

in

The
Queen
stepped
ashore
promptly
at

a.m.
ADT
(9

She
had
a
broad
smile
as
she
shook

with

as

curtsied.
Prince
Philip
followed,
also
smiling
and

The
Queen
paused
for
her

with
Vice-Admiral

Canada's

chief,
about
the
voyage
from
Boston
and
the

During
the
cruise,
the

encountered

The

wore
a
semi-fitted
navy
coat,
buttoned
at

and
a

patterned
dress,

and

She

Lord

the

as
the
issues
of

by
Taiwan

New

were

to

was
lit
today

in

site
of
Ancient

and
began
its
journey
to
Athens,
where
it
will
be
transmitted
by

The

was
kindled
by

in

on

it
closed

in
April,
claims
a
group
that
is
pressing
to
have
the
treatment
centre
reopened.
Frank
O'Brien,
the
spokesman
for
the
group,
said
Prince
George
exceeds
the
national
and
provincial
averages
in
all
aspects
associated
with
the
abuse
of

The
group
is
trying
to
set
up
a
meeting
with
MLA
Howard
Lloyd
to
gain
his
support
for
its
proposal
which
would
see
a
centre
opened
here
to
treat
22
alcoholics.
Copies
of
the
brief
will
be
forwarded
to
Health

the

O'Brien
said.
Nearest

offering
this
type
of
program
is
in
Kamloops
-and
some
alcoholics
now
go
to
Edmonton
or
the
Lower
Mainland
for
treatment,
he
said.
"But
this
is
only
for
the
people
who
can
afford
it,"
he
said.
A
brief
outlining
the
need,for
a

centre
for

was
prepared
at
a

Monday
at

O'Brien
pointed
to
the
following
facts
as
indicating
the
high
level
of

abuse
here;
80

of
all
cases

here
involve
the

O'Brien
said
the
Van
Bow
Treatment
Centre
was
closed
as
a
cost
cutting
measure
but
the
result
has
been
that
many
alcoholics
are
now
being
treated
In
the

where

OTTAWA
British
Columbia's

rate
improved
strongly
in
June
as
the
unemployment
rate
dropped
to
8.8
per
cent
from
9.8
per
cent
a
month
earlier
in
May.
Statistics
Canada
reported
today
that
national
unemployment
also
eased
lower
during
June
for
the
third
successive
month
to
seven
per
cent
of
the
labor
force
from
7.1
per
cent
during
May.
The
number
without
jobs
was
down
by
6,000
to
702,000.
The
figures
show
that
the
unemployment
rate,
at
seven
per
cent
last
month,
is
up
from
6.9-per-cent
jobless
in
June,.
1975.
Put
another
way,
this
means
that
for
every
1,000
Canadians
holding
a
job
or
seeking
work
last
month,
70
were
unable
to
find
a
job.
The
slight
inprovement
in
the
jobless
picture
during
June
was
mainly
because
of
a
decline
in
unemployment
among
men
aged
15
to
24.
But
there
was
also
some
evidence
that
young
men

in

continue
to

the
worst
VANCOUVER
(CP)
-
The
world's
weather
is
going
to
get
worse
but
governments
and
planners
don't
seem
to
care,
Dr.
Patrick
McTarrart-Cowan
said
Monday.
Dr.
McTaggart-Cowan,
a
meteorologist
and
past
executive
director
of
the
Science
Council
of
Canada
said
in
an
'
interview
that
agricultural,
economic
and
social
planners
are
living
in
a
fool's
paradise
by
taking
the
last
30
years
of
our
climate
as
normal.
He
said
the
deteriorating
weather
ahead
is
really
a
return
to
normal.
The
last
30
years
have
been
abnormally
mild
and
steady
in
weather
patterns.
Dr.
McTaggart-Cowan
said
proper
storage
and
management
of
bumper
crops
from
the
interspersed
good
years
will
be
of
paramount
importance
to
tide
the
world
over
from
the
years
of
wet
and
drought,
Hardier
crops
must
,be
developed.
Planners
should
be
considering
what
is
likely
to
happen
to
hydro
energy
supplies
when
rivers
and
lakes
are
less
full.
Water
supplies
to
cities
should
be
able
to
withstand
drought.
Dr.
McTaggart-Cowan
said
world
climatologists
met
in
Toronto
last
November
to
consider
the
shifts
of
weather
patterns
and
the
implications.
The
findings
were
so
unanimous
and
significant
it
was
decided
to
hold

regional
meetings
to
inform
and
involve

for

July

Two

already
have
had
to

because
the

proved
too
rough.
Young
said
further
studies
will
be
made
of
the
terrain
further
west
of
this
spot
before
a
final
decision
is
made
Wednesday.
Baum
said
it
is
difficult
to
tell
if
the
murki-ness
in
the
Martian
atmosphere
is
due
to
fine
dust
or
clouds.
He
said
the
Mars
photos
taken
by
Viking
cameras
might
have
left
the
public
with
the
impression
that
the
Martian
atmosphere
is
crystal
clear.
This
is
because
the
special
method
used
to
