For Ins atlack on the statement Riltenhouse scored tliri*e points with the judges In Ins o|>cumg remarks, protagonist Gerard Chupdelainc did not address Levesque’s statement, choosing to read a prepared text on w hy he chose to vote yes instead The lawyer said the rights given Quebecers as one of the founding nations of Confederation have never been respected He likened Confederation to an unfair arrangement, not a wedding between the two peoples."English Canadians always thought they could minimize the needs and wants nl the French by imposing their laws on us With sovereignty we’ll be able to make our own decision without having to ask for permission from elsewhere." Chapdelaine said.He said Quebecers should not only vote "oui ’ they should sing 11 rather than giving in to English Canada “which wants us to bide under their skirls" "Good Lord!" Rittenhouse screamed back “First you talk about illegal marriages and now you’re underneath my skirt" For his defense, Chapdelaine scored zero .AND IT'S JUST LIKE THE REAL McCOY BUSINESS .CLASSIFIED COMICS .EDITORIAL LIVING .SPORTS .5 12 13 , 4 , 6 15 QUEBEC (CP) — Members of the national assembly are throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the current debate on the Quebec referendum question Thursday, for instance, there was talk of lemmings, the Trans-Canada Highway, Quebecers' preference for big kitchens over big living rooms, an eye staring out of a grave, belts and suspenders, all seasoned with quotes from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and the dictionary.Camille Laurin, minister of state for cultural development, compared federalists to lemmings, those wee arctic beasties that are said to commit collective suicide every now and then by rushing headlong into the sea Earlier this week, Liberal leader Claude Ryan called PQ whip Guy TOT KILLINGS SUSPECT HELD A good business organization hires optimists for the sales department and pessimists for the credit department.TOWNSHIPS WEEK The Stanstead Journal is changing hands and James Duff has the story The Gazette bungled.Nelly Y'oung reviews the achievements of Sherbrooke's Centre Culturel and What's on elsewhere in the Townships and Dave Mulholland reviews country singer Don Williams.Find these and other stories as well as this week’s T.V.listings in Townships Week.YESTERYEARS More puzzles from the past pop up in Marjorie Goodfellow's Yesteryears column on Page 11.MONTREAL (CP) - Claude Gariepy, 22, will appear in court for arraignment today in connection with the slaying of a five-year-old boy and four-year-old girl, spokesmen for Montreal and National Harbors Board police said Thursday.Gariepy is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.He has been held on a coroner’s warrant Police said they believe Yannick Geoffroy, who disappeared while playing outside his home Wednesday.and Shirley Bourdon, reported missing from her home a week ago, were thrown into the icy waters under the Jacques Cartier bridge.Neither body has been found.Harbor police laid the charge in the boy's death, while Montreal police have charged Gariepy with the girl's slaying.WALKING ALONE Gariepy was arrested Wednesday shortly after a bus driver reported seeing a man and boy walking on the bridge and minutes later saw the man walking alone Another witness, a policeman, said he saw a young man throw something into the water from the bridge.A commuter told police he witnessed the incident, but was so shocked he was unable to report it to authorities until Thursday morning Police said the description of the boy’s clothes given by the bus driver matched that provided by Yannick’s parents.Police have found a child’s mitten on the shoreline.Last year, two Longueuil teenagers were thrown to their deaths from the bridge.Gilles Pimpare, 26, and Normand Guerin, 25, were found guilty and imprisoned for 25 years without possibility of parole Chevrette a "parrot.” The zoological references seemed to support government House Leader Claude Charron’s statement last week about "those barnyard scenes quite frequently seen in our assembly.” QUEBEC BALKED The Trans-Canada Highway came up when Raymond Mailloux ( L-Charlevoix) disputed the PQ view of Ottawa as the source of all evils.Quebec itself is responsible for some of its problems, he said.When construction of the highway was originally proposed in 1948, all provinces agreed to the plan except Quebec, which only accepted in 1960.Quebec's transportation network suffered because of the refusal by then Premier Maurice Duplessis to participate, Mailloux said Municipal Affairs Minister Guy Tardif used Quebecers’ traditional preference for big kitchens over big living rooms to illustrate his argument that federal policies are not tailored to Quebec’s needs.Seal hunt opens amid protester claims Swe ‘As is our country’s tradition, my first act is to make all opposition parties illegal.” ST.ANTHONY.NFLD (CP) -

But ne added that the morning opening is a symbolic gesture "to show that MPs can have normal hours of work and act as human lieings." Pinard said he would be willing to consider a change in Commons hours so that the House sits in the morning and afternoon while committees work at night Weather treasurer for the PQ and chairman of the party's executive committee, rejected the suggestion that his party lives beyond its means "We never commit any funds unless we know the revenue is there," he said "But we do operate at the limit of our capacities.We spend what we have, especially this year, but we never go beyond that point."

headaches than men, says a study by the Addiction Research F'oundation The study, based on the response of 1,500 people to a Migraine Foundation questionnaire, also said women are more likely to take drugs for the headaches Tranquillizers and antidepressants were the first medication prescribed for 41 per cent of migraine suf ferers Rosemary Dudley, director of the Migraine F'oundation, said men were more likely to get specific migraine drugs — such as ergotamine — that constrict the enlarged blood vessels in the head, rather than tranquillizers, commonly prescribed for women.Lennoxville

past.There are two major types ol cameos.stone and shell.The majority ot stone cameos are tashioned from chalcedonies.In most ot those used m jewelry, the raised portion is white and the background black, brown or light red Cameos carved trom pink conch shells or trom shells ot the various pearl-bearing molluscs and other marine shellfish have been used tor centuries Most shell cameos are tashioned trom a mollusc shell that has a pink or brown lining Almost all pink shell cameos fade to white or very light pink.There-tore.the shell cameos with a brown background are.as a rule, much more desirable, although they also show some tendency to tade.Shell cameos are less desirable and more expensive than those made ot stone, since they are easier to work and more fragile Nonetheless, shell cameos are very popular, owing to their soft coloring and exquisite carvings.Cameos made during the nineteenth century are among the finest cameowork known.Many ot these beautiful cameos are still in circulation, often appearing in old jewelry that has been turned in tor its old-gold value."

Robinson, 2n2 MILES DIFFER But then, as everyone avows, an Irish mile is longer than an English mile although no one is sure how much longer Besides Ireland is in the process of changing over to the metric system.Some signs are in kilometres.Some aren’t.Some have disappeared altogether, like those mist shrouded lakes that appear and disappear in the Celtic twilight.By way of explaining all this, the natives tell of an impatient U.S.driver who approached a railway crossing in West Cork and found the gates half up and half down.“What’s that supposed to mean?" he fumed at the gatekeeper “Well,” answered that worthy, “to tell the truth, I was half expecting a train." In peaceful, pastoral Cork and its dozing sheep, the locals don’t share the North American passion for precision in geography.“The Old Head of Kinsale, is it?" a farmer leans out of his tractor.“Carry on now for a mile and a bit." But he doesn't tell you that the bit is longer than the mile.TAKE IT EASY But relax, enjoy yourself.You’ll never drive through greener, grander scenery, see such fabulously changing, cloud-chasing skies or meet a friendlier people who genuinely hate to see you leave.“Sure you should stay at least until tomorrow,” a farmer’s wife entreated us in Mallow.'‘We’re dipping the sheep It's a lovely sight." Her deadpan delivery was as sincere as the wee slip of a tourist guide at the Rock of Cashel, who informed us: “The Earl of Kildare apologized to the people of the town for burning down their cathedral.He said he thought the archbishop was inside.” **** CANADA 135 Bl.Jacques-Cartier South Sherbrooke, Tel.567-4891 DISCO-JEANS Wishes One And All A Very Happy ST.PATRICK'S DAY 112 A QUEEN ST., LENNOXVILLE (IGA PARKING LOT) Clubs meet BEEBE — Mrs.Corwyn Fagan entertained the March 4th gathering of the Old Fashioned Birthday Club.Two members were absent due to illness, three guests attended.Mrs.Marion King was the birthday observant.Bingo was played with winners presented prizes.The marathon prize went to Mrs.Enid Beane.Mrs.Rita Wing made a special cake and Mrs.Kay Curtis supplied the sandwiches.The evening was terminated with the serving of tasty refreshments.The April gathering will be at the home of Mrs.Nancv Gill.marathons being claimed by Evelyn Sisco, twice, Violet Richer and Elizabeth Williams.The door prize went to Opal Johnston.The following day Mrs.Johnston was observing her birthday and she was presented with a decorated cake which was enjoyed at lunch.Elizabeth Williams to entertain the March 19th meeting.Note change of date.ROBERT DOWNEY Notary St.Patrick's Day Greetings 85 Queen St., Lennoxville, Tel.563-2424 JarccAtllttfrtXy pASTR|ES 98 bread Tel.569-5917 - 569-5985 1520 King St.W.— SherL ooke * BEEBE — The February gathering of the Chit-Chat Club was held at the home of Mrs.Elsie Bronson when eight members and a guest were welcomed.There was a short business session and two members were unable to attend.Mrs.Mabel Crawford and Mrs.Irma Lepitre, so cards were signed to be sent to them.The remainder of the evening was spent playing games (bingo) with ROCK ISLAND (DB) — Mrs.Geneva Lyons was hostess at her home in Rock Island on Monday evening, March 10.to the members of the Border Christmas Club, and one guest, Mrs.Doris Belanger.The ladies enjoyed several games of 500 with Mrs.Mary Bessette having high score for the evening and Mrs.Kate McCune receiving the Consolation prize.The ladies enjoyed a social time while delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, to terminate a pleasant evening.The ladies are invited to the home of Mrs.Kate McCune in Rock Island for the April 14th get-together./HcFarlane Son & Hodgson iVVV UME DIVISION OC OOMTAN INC A DIVIS'ON O' OOMTAfl INC ^ A DIVISION OF DOMTAR INC.Wholesale Paper Merchants & Manufacturing Stationers 63 Belvedere South, Sherbrooke J1H 4B3 — (819) 569-9737 GOSSELIN-WRIGHT ELECTRIC REG’D.Sale and repair service for motors 225 Galt West, Sherbrooke Tel.562-8556 IMPRIMERIE MJB LITHO INC.563-3788 933 FEDERAL ST., SHERBROOKE HAPPY ST.PATRICK'S DAY If your car feels like it's floating, it's time to have the springs checked.Drop in today for a complete winter check-up.— WE ALSO SERVICE TRUCKS — Deziel Auto Spring WE DO ALL KINDS OF WELDING 1100 Deschatillons — Tel.569-9296 SHERBROOKE HAPPY ST.PATRICK'S DAY TRANS-OCEAN TRAVEL AGENCY INC.66 King St.W.-Sherbrooke 563-4515 or Zenith 59010 p i —_____ttMLl ixecara FRI .MAR U.19W 9 Little people disappeared into history.or did they?TOWNSHIPS WEST (Special by Sean Eaichaidh) — It couldn't have been a full bottle of Bushmills or Jamieson's combined with a healthy draught of Guinness Five Star — it had to be a visit from a leprechaun which conjured visions of this week's celebrations and some in the past Firmly convinced Frank Hanley and Brian Mulroney weren't involved, we tried to sort out the dream — or was it a forecast?dreams imagined Merf Kirby try ing to come up w ith green hot mustard which The "little people" as they are known in folklore, are said to be gifted with foresight and some of their predictions boded both well and poorly for all the snakes who managed to flee the emerald isle many centuries ago when they were exorcised by St.Patrick.Some of them, according to legend, were transformed into eels, mermaids and mermen who eventually readapted to becoming human beings Certain persons maintain they provided the was not aged in the sun and an orange, white and green chili con carni for Thirsty Boot clients Hopefully her experiments won't succeed as the leprechauns provided her with a clear picture of the carnage over and in white porcelain fixtures the next day, Gerry "O'Wood" at the Know Iton Pub failed to come through on the "little people's" wavelength — although we are convinced he'll look after all the sons and daughters adopted or otherwise from the "Quid Sod" on St.Paddy's Day!

John Killinger, president of Flyer Industries Ltd.of Winnipeg, the only Canadian company that builds trolleys, said the trolleys cost more — $155, 000 per bus compared with $120.000 for a diesel — but the trolleys are more durable However, the environmental question has to be considered, because of the overhead wiring.Killinger said a battery-powered bus that wouldn't require overhead wires is needed, but the problem engineers have to overcome is the time needed to recharge batteries “At present it takes as long to charge the batteries as it takes to run them down,” he said.“What we’re looking for is a battery that can be charged quickly without being damaged’’ Killinger said the future of trolleys would depend on the price of diesel fuel.Carrier Wanted!

staring right back at me I smell the air, and see melted snow.It s springtime again thank God that it shows.Love is flowing from everyone’s heart; Spring brings as together instead of apart.WHATARE WE We are strange creatures us.Always doing what we think is a must.To function we drink, sleep and eat; The name of the game is not to lie beat.These fine creatures need tender love; This can be accomplished by a flight from a dove, All of us sputter and fight.But in the end we see the light We want to know the future, but don't know how.So we live life to its fullest and end with a bow.As life progresses we truly see, Without God in our life what would we be.DIET When you try to diet all alone.You'll find that you’re picking at more than a bone.You're less likely to be blue.If a friend goes on it with you.You say you're fat.and don't know what to do, Well stay on your diet and be true! Don't think you're pleasingly plump or just chubby! To put it quite bold you're kind of tubby.If you keep going to the fridge, my dear.You'll be much fatter next year.Think thin and you’ll find That you'll be that way in good time.It is hard, boy, do I know, Baby, your good work is going to show Don’t be afraid of what I say, Just get on your diet and start today.You are charming and bright I can see.So become what you want to be.All above poems by

managed to keep one for myself but had none to sell any of my friends and customers.The price of this one will be $3.00, plus 50c for first class mailing.Send your orders in now and as soon as they arrive, I will mail you one and you can see where the price of your coins have gone over the past six months.+ + + For years now, Charlton has promised a catalogue on the paper money of Canada to be released very shortly and I know there are a few of you who would like to know the value of the money that you have.Price of this one is $24.50 and 50c for postage.This book has some 1,000 pages and lists some 160 note issuing banks of Canada.This is a first edition.4- + F More supplements have arrived this week, but like always, some are not yet available.+ + + Whether an old or new customer

dollars worth from 1966 and before.A good thing that 1 had a confirmation on this from Montreal, as the price dropped somewhat and 1 couldn't sell the balance for anything near what 1 paid for it.so 1 have put it into the bank and will wait and see if it goes up again within the next month.1 phoned everyone and only one party answered the phone, so 1 promptly went and purchased what the two parties at one home had What 1 kept back that they wouldn’t take were Ihe Proof-Like sets and 50c and $1.pieces.1 shipped only Ihe 10c and 25c pieces before 1967, plus the 1967 and 1968 silver that 1 had.+ + -F A new thing with me this past week was the purchase of sterling silver.Sure the price of silver is down but it is still far above what these pieces cost 15 years ago.I do know that plenty of people who have been taken on selling old sterling silver pieces but have found out the honest way to buy this is by weight.Now if you have such items laying around, do not bo in a rush lo sell them to the first dealer who offers you a low price, A good idea would be to shop around and see the difference.+ -f + Word has been received that the Royal Canadian Mint is going to charge $22.00 for a silver dollar this year.This will be in the usual case, but the content of silver will be .375 silver so you can see what they expect to get for an ounce of silver.The price of the $100 gold coin has not been released, but even though gold has gone down over $100.an ounce during the past month, it will still be plenty high I like gold coins and silver dollars and try to get at least one gold coin of each year I do need a 1977 $100.gold piece for my son, who missed ordering one, but have not had any offered to me of late + 4" ¦f* Now don’t forget that on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.nv, March 19, there will be another meeting of the St.Francis Collectors Club at St.George's Church Hall.Try to attend.There were 12 people the last time, so try to hi' there and make the number grow and tell them what your main interest is.1 am sure they w ill try to help you.+ + + Hope to have more news for you next week.LENNOXVILLE RADIO TAXI William Pettigrew, prop.562-2411 LOCAL * LONG DISTANCE Cars Fully

4344, Long Beach.Call! 90804 FL1NFLON.Man.(CP) — "If I can fulfil my dream without sight, anyone can," said Ted Ohlsen, 41, a blind mechanic and owner of a hunting and fishing lodge."All I want is a chance to hold my own in society." When he isn't looking after his lodge, Ohlsen works as a mechanic with Mitchell Aircraft Marine Ltd.of FHin Flon.Born in Flensburg on the West German border with Denmark, Ohlsen came to Canada in the late 1950s with the dream of owning a fishing and hunting lodge He went to work in a potash mine near Esterhazy, Sask Then a rifle he and a friend were storing discharged, sending a bullet through his left eye, nose and right eye."It was a shock to realize at 22 years of age I would never see again, 'he said, "1 had to do a lot of thinking.'' While recovering from the injury in a Toronto hospital, he met and married Diane, a nurse from Newcastle-on-Tyne.England.They have two children, Derek, 10, and Lorraine, 8.Ohlsen said he never would have succeeded without Diane.In 1965, they began to build their dream lodge about 100 kilometres west of here "We started building with $35 worth of tools.We had our struggles with things like bank loans.But we found people in Flin Flon and the North like to lend a hand when they see sombody is trying, and we certainly were, ” Today, the lodge is so well established that it has a wilderness fly in camp.His dream lodge a reality, Ohlsen decided to try his hand at motor mechanics as a winter job In Flin Flon, he found friends at Mitchell Aircraft who were willing to give him a chance to learn his trade His boss, Gordon Mitchell, said Ohlsen "carries his SUNMARK WINS GS RACE SAALBACH, Austria (CP-AP) — Ingemar Stenmark won the season's sixth World Cup giant slalom race on Thursday and his 27th in a career studded with 51 Cup victories.The Swede beat his closest rival, 17-year-old Joel Gaspoz of Switzerland, by 1.55 seconds.He posted the fastest times in both heats for a winning total of two minutes, 37.23 seconds.Stenmark did not recapture the World Cup for best over all performance because he would not compete in downhill events.Under the World Cup points system, Stenmark amassed the maximum total of 200 points from slalom and giant slalom races.Andreas Wenzel of Lichtenstein established himself recently as the 1980 men's overall Cup winner at Cortina.I A j Outdoors BY REAL HEBERT In my report of last week 1 told you that poaching was still flourishing in Quebec and that a larger number of convictions are before the courts.It is no exaggeration to say that poaching is a veritable scourge here in the prov ince and, as long as the general public does not change its attitude we cannot expect the situation to improve Here in Quebec we treat poachers like actual heroes, and when one has the misfortune to have difficulties with the wildlife conservation agents, he is considered a victim by his entourage.The conservation officers are considered to be persecutors and zealots.As long as this attitude remains, poaching will continue at a steady rate.In other words we must reverse the roles and cease to protect the outlaws when they make the work of the conservation agents difficult and complicated However, the day when we take responsibilities serious ly and helping the conservation agents denounce every illegal act, we will see a decline in poaching Do you know that in the state of New Hampshire everyone is a fish and game warden in the sense that if you see someone violating the hunting and fishing laws you de nounce him This makes life difficult for those who have a tendency to disrespect the hunting and fishing regulations I can tell you positively that this mentality on the part of the New Hampshire public gives positive results and that very few acts of poaching are found in this state If in Quebec the fish and game wardens received the same collaboration from the public we would not have to deplore so many acts of poaching here and our wildlife, both terrestrial and aquatic, would be in a better situa tion.Let us stop blaming the wardens, accusing them of be ing persecutors and zealots, and let us declare war on all those who violate the laws of hunting and fishing, because they are the real criminals We will be able to follow the citizens of New Hampshire, making the task so difficult for poachers that they must abandon their foul deeds You must agree with me that an average of 1200 cases of poaching offenses per month before our courts is unacceptable and that we must, at any price, put the brakes on this situation.Poachers destroy our wildlife and equally destroy the image of honest hunters and fishermen who respect rules with_the result that they help the cause of the anti-hunters and The anti-lishermen antf this is regrettable The 14th annual meeting of the Island Brook Fish and Game Club will be held at the Island Brook Community Centre on Monday, March 17 at 8 p m weight around here all right." Ohlsen had just installed a track on a snowmobile urgently needixi by a mining exploration crew and was repairing an outboard engine KEEP HIM BUSY “The only problem,” said Mitchell, "is when he's not busy he drives us crazy.” Peter Foreman, a com pany service manager, said there was no great ad justment for the staff “We simply arrange to have a helper work with Ohlsen on a one-to-one basis.” He said Ohlsen's strength is that he “never tires of trying something over and over again until he gets it " Ohlsen worked lunch hours and evenings typing out the service manual on a braille typewriter VihîI Our TACK SHOP W«* carry a complete line of BIDING EQUIPMENT ENG1ISH & WESTERN J.N.BOISVERT & FILS 5 King St.W.Tel.: 562-0938 Facing Bui Tarmlnal Frae Parking Bahlnd Stora «47 7664 CA* RENTAL * MOVING TRUCKS weekenospecialty 4141 Klnç SI W SK*rbroo* Val Eitrf* ford NO SWEAT!
