Whitby MacDONALD'S GOAL Futuristic Dream Emerges As NDP Election Platform By THE CANADIAN PRESS A vision of futuristic cities surrounded by gr Its, heli- Ports, monorails and 200-mile- an-hour trains emerged Thurs- day in the campaign fight for the Oct. 17 general election in Ontario. The dream of a super - urban Ontario was proclaimed by Donald MacDonald, leader of the New Democratic Party, at his eloquent best speaking in London riding of Premier John Robarts. "Call this a dream. Call it a vision. Call it what you will. For me, it is a goal and it is one which IJ believe will change the people of Ontario." Envisaging an Ontario of 100,000,000 population by 2067, he said the province has the material and wealth to do the job. 'All we need is the will and a government to go out and do the job." But money, and where to find it, was paramount in the minds|today while Mr. of Mr. Robarts and Liberal leader Robert Nixon winding up 15 days of tough campaigning. SPEAKS ON EXEMPTION Mr. Robarts, speaking to 1,- 000 persons attending a school opening in St. Thomas, said the government's decision to grant home owners a basic tax exemption and to assume the cost of justice administration has stretched its resources. Ontario would have to tighten its belt to pay for those serv- ices. "We areundertakinga review of existing programs to effect all possible economies," Mr. Robarts said. Campaigning in Cobourg Mr. Nixon called for reform of elec- tion law, saying every candi- date should be able financially to make an adequate approach to the public. Both the Conservative and Liberal leaders move their campaign into the Toronto area MacDonald tours the Sarnia district. _ Mayor Revokes Licence Of Hippie's Newspaper By DENNIS BELL VANCOUVER (CP) -- Faced with an all - out counter -| attack by the flower children, Mayor Tom Campbell Thursday night announced he has no real objections to sale of the Geor- gia Straight, Vancouver's hip- pie newspaper, except when it is sold to school children on school property. Shortly after the city licenc- ing department lifted the semi- weekly publication's business licence -- a move that would effectively halt printing -- the hippies brought the full weight of flower power into action. The first garget was the downtown courthouse, where 100 hollering hippies picketed with signs in what was billed as a "Be-in support of the Georgia Straight Legal Defence Fund." The hippies attracted another 300 curious spectators early Thursday evening as mini - skirted girls moved through the crowd collecting funds to sup- port the newspaper in any legal action that might follow.

Witness Says Spankings, Ritual Used On Dead Girl TORONTO (CP) -- A 19 - year - old housewife who left St. Matthias' Anglican Church because she felt the members were "sick," spoke Thursday of spankings and incantations to exorcise devils. At the inquiry into the death June 21 of Katherine Globe, 18, from a brain abscess and men- ingitis, Mrs. Dale Webb said that Katherine, who was stay- ing at the rectory was spanked on several occasions by Canon Moore Smith, church rector. and other members of the congregation to get the "hell" out of her. Mrs. Webb recited an invoca- tion she said was used as a rit- ual to banish devils: 'I com- mand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that all the hell and atmosphere within me be bound and chained by the Lord Jesus Christ and that it go straight where it can be dealt with." On June 21, Mrs. Webb said the girl was slapped in the face by Canon Smith's wife, Violet, and during the day was spanked by Canon Smith, David Smith, 26, her fiance and Canon Smith's son, and by her broth- er, Alex, 24, a second - year divinity student at the Univer- sity of Toronto. Mrs, Webb, who had a bed- room two doors from Kathe- rine's, said there was a group of about 70 persuns at the church who believed in devils and that they were led by Canon Smith, Rev. Douglas Tis- dall, assistant parish priest, and Mrs. Marjorie Rogers Replying to a question from Dr. H. B. Cotnam, Ontario's supervising coroner, Mrs. Webb; testified that spankings had not occurred before in the church group. SAYS SCREAMS HEARD Mrs. Webb said that on the day Katherine died she was "screaming terribly" and that Father Tisdall and the giri's brother were called to exorcise her and drive the devil out of her. "They went upstairs and then Father Tisdall came to the landing and shouted: 'Don't panic. She's not breathing. Phone the fire department," Mrs. Webb said. After an ambulance came and took Katherine away ,Mrs Webb said she and _ several other persons went to the church and lay down on the floor at the front wo pray. Constable Gerald Close testi- fied he arrived: at the rectory shortly after firemen who tried to revive Katherine with inhala- tors. He said the girl was wear- ing only panties, which were pulled partway down her thighs. Katherine died the same day she was scheduled to have an appointment with Dr. D. A.

Michael Starr, Conservative interim leader, questioned Mr. Pearson on the raids during Thursday's Commons session. The prime minister said he had no knowledge of the protest. On Sept. 15 RCMP raided Serbian homes in Toronto, Hamilton, Brantford and Mont- real, and also searched Serbian newspaper offices in Hamilton and Toronto. The protest calls for an inquiry into the basis for RCMP search warrants, and asks that steps be taken to assure that the constitutional rights of Canadian citizens "cannot be at stake on any ill - founded or malicious information." Dusan P. Lazarevich, com- mittee secretary, said the organization did not know what lay behind the raids. "We believe Communists may be among top police officials." He said committee members were used to being searched by secret police in Serbia, but the RCMP "are going after their closest friends in this Commu- nist fight." CLAIM STRENGTH He said the Serbians are the but the strongest anti - Commu- nist group in Canada." The protest also objects to the term "yugoslav terrorists' sludge. Hamilton said he was bound by the findings of a government appointed tribunal which found the National Coal Board and some of its employees responsi- ble but passed no criminal indictment.
