ftTTw Acton Press Wednesday August yr- Has the curtain come down on Drijber search By Lorraine Root There a quiet the results of the Canadian Involvement regarding the story of Marfan Drijber and Christine Sinclair these days and despite letters to editors to the Minister of External Affairs and great numbers written by concerned citizens to families of the two girls it looks as If a national incident has once again wafted to wayside to be forgotten and ignored From a student just returned from a tour into the area in which the two girls were killed excerpts of his letter written to a I have returned this month from a six month tour of some of these less progressive countries I see ihis incident as a manifestation of a group of situations which the Canadian government looks v ions indeed in its disgusting apathy and ignorance Phillips of Peterborough asks the question How much has the Canadian government done to teach these about murdering our nationals it seems he said that our government has a plan to punish them by giving them a million dollars do they intend to kill the kindness Mr Phillips said that during his tour of many rather uncivilized lands most of which Canada aids he was constantly being insulted hassled and endangered He pointed out that it was ludicrous sending great amounts of monies into lands where hanks arc returned with murder when I here are so many people in Canada who are suffering and barely getting by Mr Phillips further suggested that Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp should be sent on a student our so he can learn what the world is really like and come back and instruct the government accordingly Interesting arc the facts according lo Mrs Drijber who accompanied her husband on his recent meeting with Mr Sharp She said that when they requested that the Canadian government consider paying the cost of rescue operations con ducted In Rhodesia for recovery of their daughter body he informed them that it would be impossible as Canada did not have any political relations with that country He did instead strongly advise them to accept he payment Zambia was offering To date the Rhodesian government has and volatile conditions for the two Canadian nationalists The Canadian government has taken the tack of ignoring without even written acknowledgment their attempts to recover the body of the Canadian girl according to Mrs Drijber who asked Mr Sharp what had been done The a family who have ad always despised debts of any kind feel that the one incurred in Rhodesia Is hanging heavy over their heads and any reimbursements received by them will be applied immediately to those costs Mr Sharp asked them according to Mrs Drijber what the Sinclair family thought of their effort to get at the truth he wondered if they were in accord Mrs said that she found out later that their meeting in Ottawa a letter ad been sent to Mr Sharp Rev Sinclair and his wife saying thai they were solidly behind them and would back them in any way Included with a brochure for the two girls is a thesis prepared earlier by herself together with three other schoolmates at Centennial Collegia It In winch was given full marks by her teacher

he attitudes of young people and somehow manages to lo lis how closely the question who will answer resembles the one which today people arc asking Marjan own terrible murder Today says the thesis our
