which echoes precisely the Parti Québécois platform could have given the PQ government a stunning opportunity to stand out as a parly of integrity, courage and dignity.What the PQ has done is to strengthen the perfumes of sleaziness and power-lust which are move and more giving it the aroma ol an old-style political party Just two years ago, a major PQ document claimed, straight-faced, that the PQ was "not a party like the others It incarnates the historic continuity of the Quebec people " If this kind of shoddiness, or gross distortion, is to be passed off as part of the historic continuity of the Quebec people, then the referendum question is insulting indeed to Quebecers The PQ strategists of gradualism think they are ingenious, and perhaps the results will prove they are But it is instructive to realize that their cleverness proceeds Irom a fundamental contempt for their own people's intelligence and wishes Independence is an honorable option, and it deserves to be offered honorably Since Quebecers will be given no chance to vote clearly on it, they will have to vote on what they think of a government which thinks so little of t hem Therein lies the deep fascination of the referendum vote, and the ultimate democratic question: which group of (Mililicians - pequistes or federalists -more respects the people of Quebec?Dirty details In the midst of the horror of 42 dead in that Chapais New Year’s Eve fire, we can’t help but question why people weren’t ordered out of the building before they panicked.The real fault in that fire — and others which have resulted in death to so many — may never be revealed.We speak from experience.We remember the night that 35 country and western fans died in the Blue Bird Club in Montreal, and we covered the subsequent fire commissioner’s inquest and manslaughter trials which put the three perpetrators behind bars for life.Never again, they said after the Blue Bird.But it happened again, and it will go on happening as long as we’re all so stupid about our own safety.How many of us would work in a smoke-filled environment with highly-inflammable materials all around us, no evacuation system or emergency exits enough for everyone?Even if the government’s inspectors didn’t close such a place down, would we put up with it, especially if a fire had broken out and was obviously out of control?Doubtless, the full majesty of Quebec’s inquest system will be brought to bear on the hapless fool said to have kindled the blaze.Long before he ever goes to trial, he’ll be made to testify under oath what he did, in default of which the coroner or fire commissioner has the power to jail him for up to 90 days until he talks or refuses to, and so on for another 90 days, presumably until everybody involved grows old.Newspapers the length and breadth of Canada will headline the sordid accounts with his own immortal words.Justice Minister Marc-Andre Bedard has proposed to change the Quebec Coroner’s Act, to allow a coroner or fire commissioner to bind a suspect over for trial without needing to go into all the gory details, while recommending that certain contributing conditions be improved.We would suggest that Quebec make this the first inquest to be conducted under the new system, and we also hope Fire Commissioner Cyrille Delage will make it his business to suggest major changes to Quebec's fire safety laws.After all those fires and all that loss of life, are sprinkler systems obligatory?Are emergency exits big enough to handle panicking patrons?No and no.We would wager that of the hundreds of halls in the Townships used regularly to entertain large numbers of people, there aren’t but a handful with contingency plans to prevent a disaster like Chapais.True, those in that hall appeared to have acted very stupidly.But isn’t it part of society’s responsibility to protect us from ourselves?JAMES DUFF Soviet Afghan coup: Opening salvo?WASHINGTON lAP ) The Soviet sponsored eoup in Afghanistan is being viewed by some U S analysts as the opening salvo of what may become an Fast West struggle for control of Persian Gulf energy resources Aighanislan does not border on the gulf, but the installation of a staunchly pro-Soviet government in Kabul puts them almost within striking distance Analysts point out that the southwestern corner of Afghanistan is just a few hundred JOE’S TAXACO ¦'•xN s\- .4 5) O' I.G, r(K/ fl ¦Ji x kilometres from the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow channel between Iran and the \rabian peninsula through which a substantial portion of of the Western world’s oil is transported The Soviet intervention is expected to accelerate a long-awaited Carter administration decision to bolster U S.military presence in the Persian Gulf-Middle East area U S State Secretary Cyrus Vance has on tus desk a report prepared by a high-level U.S.delegation that was on a four-country visit to that region when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan last week W \NTS MOBII.K KOKCK The recent mission by the senior U.S.delegation included visits to Saudi Arabia.Somalia.Kenya and Oman.It followed a speech by Carter in which he discussed the possibility of establishing a rapid deployment force, numbering more than 100,00(1 men, for use in military conflicts in the region.The Soviet quest for an outlet lo the warm water seas to the south dates back at least three centuries and some observers believe this ambition may have been reawakened by the prospect the Soviets will face an oil shortage in the 1980s.Soviet Foreign Minister V.M.Molotov offered an unusually candid assessment of Soviet desires 40 years ago at the time of the Soviet-German peace agreement.1 le said then that the "focal point of Soviet aspirations" was not Europe but "the area south of Batum and Baku in the general direction of the Persian Gulf." And.as Carter noted in his statement on the Afghanistan situation last Friday, the Soviets had occupied Iranian Azerbaijan until the spring of 1946 despite a promise to withdraw their troops a year earlier, at the conclusion of the Second World War.The troops were withdrawn following intense diplomatic pressure from the U.S.and other countries.FACE SHORTAGES The Soviets currently are the world's largest producer of oil, but a CIA analysis predicts that the Soviets and their East European allies may have to import between 3.5 million and 4.5 million barrels a day by the mid-1980 s.With the price of oil rapidly escalating on the world market, officials doubt the Soviets could afford oil imports of that magnitude.In addition.CIA director Stansfield Turner noted in a recent speech that there is relatively little private automobile travel in the Soviet Union, making it unlikely the Soviets could reduce consumption through an energy conservation program The Soviets' best hope for solving their upcoming energy supply problem thus appears to be an expansion of political influence in the Persian Gulf region.Some observers believe the prospective Soviet oil shortages go a long way toward explaining why the Soviets decided to invade Afghanistan, even at the risk of alienating the rest of the Moslem world "The Russians don't like to engage in adventures." said James Akins, a former U.S.ambassador to Saudi Arabia.“But this time they might be tempted into an action that they probably would not take if they were really self-sufficient in petroleum for the foreseeable future."

There are few Iranians who cannot name a relative or friend who has been brutalized by the shah.No, it was not morality but money that w as behind the campaign to bring the shah into the United States If he had been an impoverished tyrant who had escaped the wrath of his people with no more than the shirt on his back.Rockefeller and Kissinger wouldn't likely have gone to such lengths to lay out the welcome mat In the past, the shah had bestowed a king's ransom in oil deals, real estate projects and banking ventures upon the Rockefeller enterprises By most accounts, he had escaped Iran with billions that are now available for investment His personal in-veslment counselors, according to sources close to the shah, are Rockefeller and Kissinger In view ol the dreadful consequences, those two worthies are now trying to minimize their role in sneaking the shah into this country Kissinger has pleaded that he made only five innocent, "private ap- pi tMcnes (u Hie government in the shah's behalf And all Rockefeller did.to hear Kissinger and David Rockefeller tell it, was “to carry out the legacy" of his late brother.Nelson Rockefeller, whose last project before his death apparently was to find a place for the homeless shah.The truth is that Rockefeller and Kissinger organized a high-powered campaign to get visas for the shah and his entourage.They called in John J McCloy.a power on Wall Street, to help apply the pressure He used to represent the Rockefeller-dominated consortium of \merican oil companies that did business with the shah.The Rockefeller-Kissinger-McCloy triumvirate worked closely with the shah's trusted henchman.Ardeshir Zahedi.who shuttled between the shah's hideaways and New York City.Opening the campaign.Kissinger was dispatched to the State Department where he met twice with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance Kissinger pleaded, in the name of our "national honor," that we couldn't turn our backs on a leader who had been loyal to us Ttie urgane Kissinger didn't mention that he was the chief international advisor to the Rockefeller run Chase Manhattan Bank, which handled a huge share of the shah's billions The shah s sister enlisted Washington's top immigration attorney.David Carliner.who wrote the book on aliens' rights He made secret approaches in behalf of the shah, incredibly, though he represented the anti-shah Iranian Students Association and championed human rights.At first.Carliner sought blank visas for a mysterious, unidentified VIP from the Middle East who wanted to enter the country with 100 courtiers He divulged the identity of the shah only after he was told blank visas would not be issued to anyone.Under the intensifying pressure.President Carter sent word to the Rockefeller group that the shah could come to this country eventually but that relations with Iran were still too tense.The groundwork was started, however, to admit the shah sometime in 1980.Meanwhile, Rockefeller arranged a temporary haven for the shah in the Bahamas, and Kissinger flew to Mexico to wangle a visa for the royal refugee.Rockefeller also sent Robert Armao to the shah's side to manage his affairs and assigned Joseph Reed to coordinate the campaign to bring the shah here.Reed established a working relationship with Undersecretary of State David Newsom who had taken charge of the shah's case.In mid-October.Reed came to Newsom w ith the plea that the shah needed medical care that was available only in the United States The U.S Embassy in Tehran, the Iranian embassy in Washington and the Central Intelligence Agency warned of serious consequences But President Carter ignored their warnings and admitted the shah.

junior and senior high schools."I feel that our secondary schools are doing a better, but not a good job of promoting reading in struction," says Dr Olive S.Niles, vice president of the (15,(XH) member International Reading Association Niles, consultant in reading to the Connecticut State Department of Education, notes that many secondary schools have established remedial reading programs, w hile some schools also provide classes designed to help all students develop improved reading skills However, Niles adds that these programs lose some of their effectiveness because there is often only one reading instructor to meet the varied needs of an entire school, regardless of enrollment In addition, the reading programs are nearly always "isolated efforts” which are not tied in with the rest of the curriculum Niles feels that more emphasis is needed on teaching the relationship between improving reading skills and learning other subjects "The important question is seldom raised: Are students doing a better job in their school subjects because they are receiving reading instruction'’" The standardized reading tests commonly used for evaluation cannot possibly answer this question Therefor»', in order for secondary school reading programs to keep up with expanding and changing needs, Niles feels that it is necessary to integrate the secondary reading program with instruction in other subjects so that "students will see that learning to read better makes it easier to master other subjects " Niles says that one way to accomplish this integration is to have teachers of various subjects include developmental reading instruction in their own subject in struction.Although necessary basic reading skills are the same in all subjects, the skills must be applied differently.for example, in a math class and in an English class.Niles notes that although "reading in the content fields" is popular in literature and conferences, more application is needed in the content classroom.Niles cites two possible methods of improving developmental reading instruction in content classrooms, but notes that each has drawbacks.One method involves changing teacher certification regulations to ensure that content teachers realize how reading instruction relates to their subjects.Some states already have done this, but since the changes usually affect only new teachers, it will be years before this policy has a major impact.The second method involves improving the inservice education of content teachers However, tight budgets and a shortage of qualified inservice personnel to instruct practicing teachers make it difficult to make rapid improvements in this area.“Yes, we are making progress, but in view of the need, much too slowlv," concludes Niles.Buying

need another transplant Stephen Hickey, 2, who smiles shyly and blows kisses at (he slightest m vitation, and Kevin Kemp, 5, who chatters a blue streak, are favorites on ward 51) Dr (Jerald Arbus, head of the hospital's kidney program, said hospital records show that a (ran splanted kidney survives an average of 10 years Many of these children can then have a second transplant.Arbus said there are 19 children on the waiting list for kidneys nearly twice as many as usual "We've never had as many kids waiting for a kidney Seven of them are under five years old " He said one reason for the I’ong waiting list is that the hospital’s kidney team lias learned how to transplant kidneys into babies under a year old and weighing between 11 and 22 pounds who otherwise would die NOT KNOKill BLOOD Arbus said the hospital's team discovered that a baby does not have enough blood in its body to support a large kidney The blood moves so slowly through the big organ that blood clots form, blocking the arteries Finally, the infants heart stops when it can no longer keep up the struggle to pump enough blood The Hospital for Sick Children is the only centre in North America with an active transplant program for babies under a year Dr Brian Hardy said that after successfully transplanting kidneys into lour or five babies "we've had enough success to warrant con tinuing " "We want small kidneys and its a terrible, disgusting subject," Hardy, a staff pediatrician, said of the need for donors "We re talking about the deaths of babies But if people become aware of the need, then some
