At Bryson they officially opened the newly lighted ball park before a great crowd of baseball fans.Ray Greer, President of the Lions Club, Charles Young, President of the Recreation Association, and Léo Piché, Mayor of Bryson, joined forces to cut the ribbon, and then the lights went on.Present at this important occasion were both Members of the Federal and Provincial Parliaments, Tom Lefebvre and Jean-Guy Larivière, as well as other dignitaries, including Father Léo Pelletier who sanctified the new sports facility with his blessing.Georges Bujold was the Master of Ceremonies, keynoting the entire project when he said, \u201cNothing of any value can be achieved unless personal conflicts and interests are set aside while all work for a common goal.\" Entertainment during the evening included league games between Fort Coulonge and Campbell's Bay, Bryson and Calumet Island, Shawville Murrays and Portage du Fort, and a fantastic majorette demonstration by the Pink Panthers.A to Tom Lefebvre, M.Pn Another resolution of the Planning Council at their July coming season, meeting was to offer their services as a clearing house for future grants to students and other local initiatives thereby\tThursday of every month, usually at their own building in preventing duplication of services which is evident in the\tCampbell's Bay, the Community Services Center, where they allocation of grants in this County this year.The Planning\talso rent offices to welfare and social services personnel and Council would not approve or disapprove grants but would\tthe community public library.The secretary is Alice Lawn, simply advise applicants of possible duplications.Since the\tCampbell's Bay.grants come from various departments and offices in Ottawa, aud some in Quebec, they are not able to foresee the possible overlapping which a local clearing would obviate.The offer to carry on this service will be forwarded to the Secretary of State and a copy to Tom Lefebvre.The July meeting of the Planning Council was held in bob Smith's Restaurant in Shawville, Thursday, July 7th.Several mayors were invited to attend this meeting which was held in Shawville to allow the citizens of this area to visit and get to know the Planning Council.Present along with directors and the four summer students working with the Council were Claude Girard, maurice Labelle and Jerry Alary of the Commission Scolaire Régionale de l'Outaouais, Eleanor Foran of the Centre Local des Services Communautaire in Quyon, Lucille Brunet of the same organization in Bryson, Mrs Kay Lamb and Mrs Elsie Schwartz representing the Home for the Aged in Shawville, and Mayor Delmer Barber of Bristol.The Pontiac Social Planning Council meets regularly the first W Constable Réné Marchand discusses Operation Volcan with local residents and cottagers on Allumette Island.Clarendon ratepayers vote tonight on councillors\u2019 salaries Police work described at public meeting EQUITY PHOTO Government by orders-in-council! Since 1974 the number of automobile accidents has dropped from 652 to 530 in 1976.The number of road fatalities has fallen from 20 to 6 at the same time.In 1975 there were 50 car thefts and 233 break and entry crimes committed.By 1976 these had dropped to 21 and 112 respectively.Regardless of the fact that the proposed Bill 1 to enforce the use of French in Quebec has been scrapped and replaced with another proposed bill to be numbered 101, which has still not been passed in the National Assembly, Iasi month the school boards received a copy of an Order-in-Coundl (No.1860-77) which relates to the as yet unpassed language bill.This tendency to govern by Order in Council is not, in the view of some, in accordance with the democratic Parliamentary processes of Government as we have grown to respect it in Canada.The particular Order in Council in question relates to the registration of students for the coming academic year which starts in September.The Order came after many schools had already registered the students for the next year according to the directives in effect at the time of official enrolment.The schools closed for children on June 23rd and a good portion of the parents leave at this time for summer cottages and other holidays.It is an almost impossible task to contact these people during the time limits set by the Order and in the Greater Hull area the Board will

to survive Quebec language charter must go! says school board chairman The Government of Canada tabled the paper which states that Canadians must have freedom of choice to have their children educated in either of the official languages anywhere in this country in future, if this country is to survive as a unified Canada.7ÆSA * % > x; -k Graham Greig, chairman of the Protestant School Board of Greater Hull, has informed the Right Honorable Pierre Elliott Trudeau that the Board abhors the notion that one segment of the population have their rights as Canadians abrogated under any circumstances other than National emergency, and by any agency other than the Federal Government.The outraged letter came as a reaction to a statement made 1 English and French speaking people alike could take heart from the sentiments therein expressed and the Protestant by the Honorable John Roberts, Secretary of State, regarding School Board chairman, Graham Greig, in his letter to a recently tabled paper entitled \u201cA National Understanding: The Official Languages of Canada \".Trudeau, urged him to ensure that our National Government take positive action to ensure that this right as Canadians is protected.But Roberts has said, speaking in the House of Commons, W that the principle that Canadians have the right to have their ¦ children educated in the official language of their choice also\t¦ recognizes that the people of Quebec might decide that\t¦ circumstances there could require a determination that full ¦ freedom of choice should be deferred until present elements of \u201d insecurity for the French language and culture are removed or reduced\".In other words, freedom of choice is fine for the MB rest of Canada but not for Quebec! Greig calls this a mockery of our Federal Government and __________ the notion of a Canadian Nation.Furthermore he states that these alleged elements of insecurity for the French language v t/ and culture are neither proven or defined.The Board deplores and protests the apparent attitude of the Government of Canada in condoning the subjugation of the principle of individual freedom of Canadians to political ggjjj expendiency.Mr Greig states that such a deferral in applying a basic freedom will adversely affect the education, careers, and cultural life of thousands of Quebec children whose origins are not in the French language and culture and also many French speaking children whose parents are planning to educate them * jg| in English.Graham Greig, speaking for the Protestant School Board of Greater Hull, has urged the Canadian Government to condemn publicly the violation of the rights of Canadians in Quebec as envisaged by the propoeeed French Language Charter.Brvson New

practically no records have been kept, such as \u2022 when built, by whom, why, what material, how close to original road, good drinking water, type of soil for garden, etc.The other day I watched a few people tear down a section of a solid red clay brick house and I asked one of them why they were tearing it down.The answer I got was \u201cWell, we are building a new house and we want to use some of the old brick for our new fireplace and rec room decorations.\" I would like to make a record (now this is a long term project) of all the red clay brick houses, schools, stores and churches

Pontiac have only to remember that this is one of the good places to live and let live.Traditionally all people in this County have been friends and have helped one another at every turn.Every divisive influence that has come in from outside has been overcome by the good common sense of the Pontiac people, thus far.But the separators never stop trying.As long we exist as a happy example of various types with various opinions, religions, politics, ethnic backgrounds, and language preferences, living in harmony, we pose a threat to bigots and racists.All we have to do is stand fast to our own resolve to keep peace in our own County and not be duped into irrational actions or even thoughts.Our Pontiac is one of the most beautiful Counties in Canada with a fantastic future, unless we let it be torn apart by outside agitators.Building it up as a bilingual haven for people of good will is much to be desired than letting it be chewed apart by people who have no love for our heritage nor concern for our future.27.Only the official language shall be used on traffic signs.The French inscription may be complemented or replaced by THE LANGUAGE OF THE LEGISLATURE AND THE COURTS 7.French is

couldn\u2019t get beyond the misrepresentations in the preamble.Now the whole bill has been thrown out, even before all the briefs relating to it had been heard.It was infuriating to a number of people who had gone to great trouble and expense to prepare well researched briefs for the Quebec government when the decision was made not to hear them all.Apparently the Parti Québécois had heard enough to persuade them to scrap Bill 1 but it is quite likely that there were suggestions and information in the unread briefs which could have been useful to them in drawing up their next language bill.Whatever their reasons for not carrying out their promise to hear the briefs, they have now come up with a second language bill and numbered it 101.One excuse for not hearing the briefs was that it was taking too much time.If they had just listened to them one by one without feeling the need to argue back, point by point, turning the reading of briefs into interminable debates, time would not have been a problem.However, the present government in Quebec seems to be so on the defensive that they can't even let a citizen stand up and read an opinion without fighting back, on the spot, until

petition asking for immediate action on a number of requests was presented to Campbell\u2019s Bay Council, accompanied by two sheets bearing the signatures of 54 people.Those who signed were told the petition was for a sidewalk from the subdivision to the church but it actually demanded a whole slew of things including changing street names from English to French family names, firing the secretary and hiring a bilingual one, and warning that if the demands are not accepted immediately someone would direct the demands to a higher level.Not your usual humble request to Council; in fact a type of document entirely foreign to this entire County.But then it was instigated and distributed by people from other places who are still trying desperately to cause dissention among the people here, for God knows what reasons.Those who trustingly signed those blank pieces of paper acted foolishly and they know it, and have been disclaiming any association with the intent of the so railed petition

the distinctive language of a people that is in the majority French-speaking, is the instrument by which that people has articulated its identity - whereas the National Assembly recognizes that Quebecers wish to see the quality and influence of the French language assured, and is resolved therefore to make of French the language of Government and the Law, as well as the normal and everyday language of work, instruction and communication; whereas the National Assembly intends in this pursuit to deal fairly and openly with the ethnic minorities, whose valuable contribution to the development of Quebec it readily acknowledges; whereas the National Assembly recognizes the right of the Amerinds and the Inuit of Quebec, the first inhabitants of this land, to preserve and develop

plant at Chats P alls.As part of their pledge to keep the public informed, Ontario Hydro co-operated with the Chats Falls Municipal Coordination Committee at their first public meeting last Thursday evening in Fitzroy Harbour.The CFMCC stated, in a mimeographed sheet circulated among reporters at the meeting, that it is interested in the protection and betterment of the community and that all members of the committee are residents in the community, selected to represent their local municipalities.Their emphasis was on local viewpoints and also on positive or development projects \u201ccompatible with the Ontario Hydro nuclear plant project\".An invitation for interested people in the community to join their committee was taken up by visitors from Pontiac County who were told they would not be included as they not considered to be \u201clocal\" even though Quyon is half as far from the site as Am prior and much, much closer than Almonte is, and both Amprior and Almonte have representatives in the group.So politics, not geography, determines the makeup of this coordinating committee which intends to monitor and evaluate information and coordinate public activities with regard to the proposed nuclear plant which will be situated on the Ontano-Quebec border.Mayor Munro suggested that Pontiac should set up its committee to relate to the new nuclear plant and was informed that there was just such a committee, the Pont iac Anti-Nuclear Action Committee, which was set for exactly that reason and had since increased its activities to include widespread affirmative intercession on behalf of alternatives to the nuclear option.Mayor Munro said the PANAC was known to be opposed to nuclear to nuclear power and therefor not welcome in his committee which he insisted has no opinion on the subject and intends to remain unopinionated.The Hydro-Quebec people were given the floor first and along with the story of how they had eventually chosen Chats Fallse for their preferred site, they held out a few carrots such as \u201c FOR AN ADDITIONAL 22 million dollars the Ottawa River could be opened up to navigation to Chenaux , and then \u201cthe plant here would be like the one at Pickering where for a radius of one kilometer around the plant there are children's playgrounds, parks, wildlife reserves and so forth\", and then \u201cthere is a possibility of a commuter train as far as Bristol \".After a number of experts, scientists and public relations people from Hydro had explained using colored slides and charts and everything at their disposal to make it all perfectly clear, the chairman said even though Ontario Hydro knows what they're doing, we don't.\" Then the public was warned that anyone with a question must stand before the microphone and give their name clearly because they would be on television discouraged most of the Fitzroy Harbour neighbors but not the researchers and environmentalists from Ottawa.Ian Connerty of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility, Dr.Weinberger of Ottawa, Dr.Szabo, a nuclear engineer, Peter Fournier, an extremely well informed Ottawa University student, lined up at the microphone and each expressed their doubts about the wisdom of the nuclear plant.After Mr inspect this.Correspondence was read.A complaint was received by Council about excessive noise were own Motion Crs Drummond and Wiggins that accounts totalling $19,062.50 be paid.Motion Cr Drummond to adjourn to meet on Tuesday, was no answer answer.Still no answer.Jim Bass of Fitzroy Harbour had questions about the tax base

For more information call Nancy Wilson, 647-3366, Ron Beattie, 647-3761 or John Petty 647-2402.by Nancy Wilson is Mrs Sam \u2022 # Why should we form a jogging club?Why would any person want to leave the beach or their job for an hour or so every few days to meet with others and jog a distance they would normally use a car for?The reasons are numerous.It could be a sincere wish to become involved in something worthwhile during an otherwise uneventful summer.Or it could be a desire to become physically fit.If so, you've chosen the right sport! Jogging also provides an opportunity for the more competitive runners to do so in a friendly atomosphere.Each jogger can make the,club what he or she wants it to be.It's a great way to simply stay in shape and have fun, or for others, it's a stepping stone to further competition.The sport of jogging is rapidly catching on in our society.It requires no special skill or equipment, just time and determination to achieve the goals one sets for onself.The benefits of jogging carry over into other aspects of an individual's life.The jogger develops endurance, becomes more patient, has the determination to set higher goals and to accomplish them, and also learns to realize when goals are out of reach or impractical.In a nutshell, this means an overall improvement in mental attitude and well-being.Besides the obvious physical benefits that can be easily felt by the jogger, the bodily system is greatly affected.Jogging increases the potential of the heart and its supporting vessels, thereby aiding these vessels to carry the oxygen to the desired muscles.This means a lower heart rate, and slows down the hardening of the arteries.Jogging also makes the lungs operate more efficiently.> Muscles become toned and posture may be improved.The jogger requires less sleep to feel rested.These few general benefits are enhanced by the different effects each individual runner may feel.One Shawville doctor once remarked on the high incidence of high blood pressure in Z ' Charlotte Mrs pamapacnan ^.Royal Canadian Legion Quyon Branch 231 BIG HOLIDAY DUSK TO DAWN SHOW - SUNDAY, JULY 31st Fitness is fun Try some.% i MEN MONEY nul MOONSHINE i limnvs I'm sox i.s.a-h vpe, kioi a iiivinu WHIM IT COND TO VE1 MAMA meWS Will DRAW FOR A 9 l.hold a < $ 4 CINEMA t 1977 FORD HALF-TON TRUCK (Explorer Series, with pickup cover) FORT THEATRE Yen., Sam., Dim., turn.29-31 juillet.1 eôut à 19:30 7:30 p.m.Fri., Sat., Sun., Mon.July 29-31, August 1 at 7:30 > f # To Be Drawn Aug.6,1977 at Quyon Fair Grounds, Quyon, Quebec, at approximately 10:00 p.m.1,000 tickets ONLY.-$10.00 per ticket.R.LC.Q.Uc.4178 9 > *.p \\ / If its been too long since you Ve seen a realty good movie .see */ J Tickets available at Sheppard Motors Ltd., Shawville, Legion Hall, Quyon & moat Legion Members \"Islands In The Stream\u201d George C.Scott 1F1 A rr, -i U WHITE HOT DESIRES MELTIM6 COLD PHISON STEEL!
