Local Sikhs Press P.M. To 'Cut Off Indian Aid The continuing state of ernergency in India bas had world-wide repercussions that bave even reached Bowman- ville lately. This week. a delezation of Sikhs, led by Kuldeep Sodhi of Bowrrfianvifle, wilI frav-el to Ottawa to present a petition to Prime Minister Trudeau demanding that Canadian aid to India be cut off. The reason? The Sikbs allege that members of their sect bave been persecuted as a direct result of Indira Ghand's Nfl.Sodhi rsdn of the Ontario Feceation of Sikhs, saidlast week that about 20 members of the seet would try to deliver the petitionperson- ally to the Prime Minister. The total numben of names on the document is expected to reacb 500. The group charges that an estimaled 16,000 Sikhs, including 11,000 ini one day. have beeiî arrested and jailed by the Indian government since the state of emergency was declared last year. The sect broke away from the Hindus about four centur- ies ago, and the worldwide population of its members is approximately 12 million. Eigbt million adherents live in the Indian state of Punjab, witb about 100,000 residing ln Canada, including, an esti- mated,1500 in the Durham region. News of the arrests was carried back to Canada (despite tbe press and mail censorsbip) byD r. Sagjit Singb Choban, former finance minîster of Punjab until bis exile five years ago, Mr. Sodhi said. Dr. Choban found out about the jailings during la secret visit to India several' months ago. "India is becoming ?urely communist and there s no democracy left at all," Mr. Sodbisaid. "Anybody who opens bis moth in India today is thrown in jail." The Sikhs, want the esta- blishment of an independent state in India and are present- ly discussing, the possibility of setting up a nation-mn-exile in Canada. In December, Dr. Choban warned that unless the Indian government neleases the ~jailed sect members, Canad- ian Sikhs migbt pressure the Canadian government to cut off aid by witbholding a porion of their taxes, or by taking violent action against the Indian diplomatiec orps in Are a Native LeRoy Brown Retires- After 2 7 Years as Victoria-Haliburton Ag Rep R.

Road Openings Stalled By Inflation G u ide lin eS four in the two years, wbile' instances of sexual crimes which occurred on 12 occa- sions-in 1974 dropped bïy one to il in 1975. There was an increase in occurrences involving offen- sive weapons from nine in 1974 to 13 in'1975, however, Sgt. Wilson does not think this increase to be a true indica- tion of any trend being formed in their area. He explained that whîle the section of the law under which the charge is laid is described as offensive weapons, the category actually includes evýerything from people using îînearms împnoperly ti Considered the result of lowered speed lirnits and intensified patrols by the Newcastle OPP detachment, traffic, accidents and deaths resulting from them along the "death strip" highway 35-115, took a favorable drop in 1975. The speed limit was reduced fromn 60 to 50 along the section from where "gasoline alley" begins at the Clarke thîrd line to the top of Enterprise Hill, at which point the road splits, 115 continuîng on toward Peter- borough and 35 cutting north to Lindsay. That, along with the intensi- fied patrols, is credited by OPP Sgt. 'Mac Wilson with lIringing about the. reduction in traffic accidents.' Portable radar units which are mounted inside the cruiser and unlike the stationary units of the p ast, can dlock the speed of a vehîcle while the cruiser is moving, have also been, a factor in controlling speeding motorîsts along the 35-15 stretch. The units, put in to operation by the Newcastle detachment in November ha%, ~,ben used on other roaci ti olied by the OPP. The number of traffir acci- dents recorded bk the detàch- ment along the 4oi1 f Enter- prise Hill stretcn dropped to 100 in 1975 compared wîth 152 during 1974. Traffic fatalîties in acci- dents investigated by the' Newcastle detachment dropped from 26 in 1974 to 17 for 1975. In the total 359 square mile area whîch is senved by the Newcastle detachment recor- ded traffîc accidents totalled 1,040,for 1975 down from the previnus year's 1,102.
