OI Husbands

By Peter Jackson

NEW DELHI (Reuters)-A hun- dred Hindu wives Wednesday washed their husbanda' feet. then drank the dirty water. to the in- dignation of feminist elements who decry the current five-day festival nl husband-worship. The wives acclaimed their hus- bands as gods. in accordance with ancient rituals. at the festival which now is in it: third day at Lucknow. The proceedings started in a closed. guarded tent on the banks of the holy River Gomti. But the occasion is drawing heated. opposition from ' inlst leaders and rival holy groups who are against "collectlve husband worship." One newspaper quoted the prin- cipal of a women's college. who referred to last week's new law providing for payment of alimony hv divorced wives as well as hus- bands. She said: "As if alimony from wives is not enough. they want us to wash their feet and drink the dirty water. too."

"PURIFICATION RITE" The festival of homage is or- ganised by Sheshaji Maharaj. a Hindu divine. who claims "thls purification rite will end divorce." The idea is that each husbandis the incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. And Maharafs explana- tion is that the ceremony will in- still into ried people the spir- union. so that pure st. should gov-

Deputy hiinesr Minister John P. .'ll(-sscrvcy of Nova Scntia. said the Christie report would be given "careful extended study" and its "practical aspects will bo thor- oughly investigated."

LONG RANGE PROGRAM

Premier Henry Hicks. manager Morley G. Taylor of the Nova Scotln power commission and Mines Minister Malcolm Patterson were out of town and could not be reached for comment.

UMW District M president Thomas B. Ma('Lachlan said the Christie report if implemented. is at its best. a very long range scheme. and "increased power consumption in itself is no imme- diate answer to the market prob- lem now confronting the coal in- dustry.”

"The crisis facing the Nova Scotla coal industry cannot be post- poned ill or 15 years." the length of time it would probably take to put Dr. Christie's rcpotr into effect.

At Fredericton. neither govern- ment or electric power commis- sion offlcihls would comment.

NEED CLARIFICATION lilowever, one reliable informant said the Christie proposals would need clarification before they could be subjected to detailed study. Sources in both provinces said

specific powers Dr. Christie would place in the hands of the su cr- visory authority. One official in New Brunswick said he wondcrcll how a mutually acceptable sched- ule of consumer rates could be achieved.

Nova Scotia's current rated horsepower of about moon is de- rived largely from steam enerat- ing plants. New Brunswic 's ap- proximate 838.000 comes largely from hydro-electrle stations.

The Christie plan would establish a giant grid system to which every- one would contribute and from which everyone would draw sup- plies.

DECLINE! COMMENT

Herold Gordon. coal operations chief of the big Dominion Steel and Coal Corp. at Glace Bay. de- clined to comment on the report because he had yet to study it in full.

Mayor Dan Alex McDonald of Glace Bay said he hoped "local politics and provincial pride" would not hinder the step if it proved to be sound.

There have been no estimates of what the project would cost.
