Cloudy Weather, Page 2 Sherbrooke Tuesday, Mar.25,19S0 1£ tents MoT mulls airport lease By C AROLE TREISER SHERBROOKE — Transport Canada Minister Jean Luc Pepin is likely to ask the Treasury Board for the okay to sign a 20-year lease on the proposed flight service station at the Sherbrooke Municipal Airport terminal, a ministry spokesman said yesterday "The minister is likely to follow the recommendation of the Ministry, but the Treasury Board will have to ap prove the lease as well." Charles Pratt said in a telephone interview from Ottawa We should have their decision some time in May." The city scrapped plans to build the $200,000 station last summer, when the Clark government reversed the previous Liberal government’s decision to approve the lease We're hoping this government will realize their telecommunications people have to be moved into the ter minai From where they sit now .i.ooo feet from the terminal in a thicket of trees, they can't even see the runway says Andre Collard, municipal ad niinistrator for the airport Though the telecommunications workers are not air traffic controllers who direct take offs and landings, they guide pilots towards and away from the airport Regardless of whether Sherbnxike gets the go-ahead to build a station at the terminal, it’s safe to say the city will not Ih* able to check off the whole of its shopping list for airport accessories until after Pepin is through taking stock and setting up shop Sherbrooke has been petitioning the government to install an instrument landing system for the past tw o years The city says the ll.S.an instrument that facilitates landings in poor visibility conditions, would entice more airlines to fly to the airport.But Transport Canada says it 's a case of the chicken and the egg "There is no way we can recommend building an instrument landing system in Sher hr mike ' says Pierre Champagne.Transport’s regional director in charge ot Quebec's airports "There isn't eiuxinh traffic in Sherbrooke to warrant spending up to $1 million to install the ILS and an additional $2M),0Q0 a year to keep it up " Jacques Montimny.a representative lot Bar Harbor Air.Sherbrooke Air port's only client, insists Sherbrooke is considered taboo by most air carriers until the system is set up, Without the 11-S, w inter flights are cancelled left and right," he says "Last winter w e had to either cancel or divert 20 per cent of our flights " He explains that the ll»S gives the pilot his position relative to the runway 'and van guide linn to w ithin 200 feet of the ground when making his approach The non directional beam now used just |totnts the pilot in a general direction and doesn't steer him clear of area mountains As a result, he has to fly 700 feet above the ground when coming in for a landing When there's poor visibility a pilot doesn't have much hope of seeing the runway at 700 feet," Montminy said He II have to overshoot and take it again or head off to another airport Usually he can’t be bothered to try to land here more than twice and just heads off to Quebec City instead.’ Bui it would seem that Sherbrooke's present navigational system is not keeping the airlines away the market here has only to merit consideration and .most of the small regional airlines have either gone bankrupt ot See AIHPUB I .Page a.what’s Firstly, started second.Record Nelson Wyatt Gary Caldwell explains population migration and demography used to compile the Conseil study.Off-island angles lack leadership, Quebec study says Parizeau walks fiscal tightrope By NELSON WYATT MANSONV1LLE — A report slated for release next month says Anglo Quebecers are dwindling in numbers and lacking the leadership necessary for the community to flourish.The study, prepared for the provincial government's Conseil de la langue française, is the result of six months’ intensive research by former Bishop's University professor Gary Caldwell Its aim was to examine the socio-demographic evolution of off-island anglos to “allow them an overview of their present situation " "English-speaking Quebec is, in effect, composed of twm distinct realities : that of the metropolitan Montreal area, and that which is to be found elsew here in Quebec," says Caldwell “It is the first — approximately 85 per cent of anglophone Quebec - w hich determines by its demographic and cultural predominance, the visage of anglophone Quebec.The “other " anglophone Quebec, owing to its dispersion, its small numbers and lack of institutional completeness, remains largely invisible and unknown to the research and literary community.if not to itself.” Using information culled from the 1971-76 census and data compiled in the Inside FARNHAAA The mayor of Farnham has returned to the town and has started an all-out effort to bring good water to the citizens, who face problems with the polluted Yamaska.Bishop's held a Science Fair over the weekend and photographer Perry Beaton discovered some interesting facts.Page 3.BIRTHS, DEATHS 2 BUSINESS.5 CLASSIFIED .8 COMICS.9 EDITORIAL________4 LIVING.6 SPORTS .10, 11 Sign in a bakery: "Because of Inflation.the name of our pum-pernickte bread has been changed to pu m perd!

Caldwell said that, for the most part, the sense of identity did not extend beyond the borders of the person’s own town and that cultural awareness stemmed from television piped in from Toronto or the United States."Without a living cultural tradition perpetuated by an indigenous elite, which could serve as a bridge between it and the wider French-speaking movement, the anglophone population is adrift," says Caldwell.Though he knocked the educational system for not providing a stronger leadership role in the community and said that perhaps Ihe reason that many anglos between 25 and 30 years old were not bilingual was because of the regionalization of high schools Caldwell was optimistic.ser ANGLOS.Page 2.QUEBEC (CP) The budget Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau releases today will try to convince Quebecers that their economy is in good hands, although there is a recession on the horizon.With the referendum on sovereignty-association this spring and a possible provincial election in the fall, Parizeau must try to come up with some goodies as well, a trick that may require mirrors and a little sleight of hand, Analysts say a United States recession they have been predicting for the last two years is likely to occur soon The Levesque government would like to get its referendum and election out of the way at a time when the Quebec economy is doing relatively well, before the shock wave from the south hits Although he has held down govern ment spending since the Parti Québécois took power in 1976, Parizeau will not cut taxes dramatically because he wants to keep his deficit at a manageable level He says Quebec has higher tax rates than Ontario because Quebecers want the same services even though their province is poorer.IS KEY ISSUE One of the key issues in the referendum campaign will be whether sovereignty-association makes economic sense.Parizeau is the most able spokesman for the Parti Québécois in this area and if his previous efforts are any indication, he will probably mix imagination with sound financial management in his fourth budget to reassure the electorate The London-trained minister, with his fondness for dark blue pin-stripe suits, likes to joke that he is a member of the “bourgeois international " Parizeau is a bit of an anomaly in a government that likes to style itself as social democratic.His tight grasp on the provincial purse strings has at times enraged the left wing of the Parti Québécois BUCK DIPS TO 84 CENTS MONTREAL (CP) The Canadian dollar continued to take it on the chin on North American money markets Monday, losing two-fifths of a cent against its U S counterpart The currency rose no higher than its previous close, reaching a peak of 84 41 cents U S in early morning trading, and closing at the day's low of 84 01 Analysts said the downward activity continued to mirror the current interest rate gap between Canada and the United States And meanwhile, the Toronto stock market suffered another huge set back Monday as investors continued to watch its performance from the sidelines The TSE index of 300 selected slocks plummeted 57 30 points to 1830 80 In the referendum question, the Quebec government is seeking ex elusive power to levy taxes Parizeau argues that if the Quebec government collected all taxes paid in the province, it could do a better job than Ottawa It is doubtful, however, that he will present a budget projecting what Quebec would do with all that money Parizeau tried that in the 1973 provincial election when he presented his budget for the first year of an independent Quebec Levesque: ProCan ad is vicious MONTREAL (CP) Premier Rene Levesque attacked his federalist op ponents Monday for what he called vicious and unworthy campaign tac lies Speaking before 1,500 University of Montreal students, the premier had harsh words for billboards put up by the federalist Pro-Canada group One set of billboards which proclaimed "Le Canada J'y suis, j'y reste pour ma liberté (Canada I'm here and I'm staying for my freedom)" were particularly underhanded, Levesque said, because (hey implied federalism was necessary to freedom in Quebec.The premier said il was under the current federal system that French Canadians were assimilated in Western Canada while Quebec continued lo prix vide its English minority "with schools from kindergarten through to university" Quebec doesn't need to learn "lessons in freedom from anybody." Levesque also attacked other Pro-Canada billboards implying that Canada was necessary to Quebec’s prosperity, listing Quebec’s recent economic achievements, including the .James Bay hydroelectric development project, as evidence to the contrary •AGAINST ALL CHANGE' The provincial Liberals, he said, are "against all change, even the most useful and necessary change ' "Any living organism needs to change if it is ever to reach the size and capacity for which it exists To be against change is to "be against life.” Passing time t MU Rciorfl Perry Benton Spring has officially sprung and we take our announcement from the Bishop's student body.The consensus is that Ihe weather has been sufficiently fine to spend long hours sitting in the Quad, blowing a little smoke, ploying frisbee and otherwise heralding the equinox So fine^ Grits eliminate Roy in Frontenac THETFOHI) MINES.Que (CP) The federal Liberals gained an extra Commons seat and shut out Social Credit again as Socred leader Fabien Roy lost to Leopold Corriveau Monday in a deferred election in Frontenac riding But Corriveau’s majority of slightly more than 3,000 votes was a lot less than the Liberals had hoped for, and per milted Roy to claim moral victory against what he called their "infernal election machine."

Quebecair’s Jean-Marie Pelletier agrees.“Sure we like to service airports that have an ILS, but we don’t always get the chance.We’ve been flying to Schefferville for the past 25 years and their system is as antiquated as Sherbrooke's.’’ Pelletier says Quebecair is considering Sherbrooke in a regional service plan they are presently studying which will link Quebec's medium-sized urban centres.If the service is started, Sherbrooke will be included; if it’s scrapped, so is Sherbrooke.the airline rep said."The ILS just doesn't figure into the question.” Similar responses to the ILS question were given by representatives of Air Atonabee.Pilgrim Airways.Nord-Air, and Quebec Aviation Besides Bar Harbor, pilots seem to be the only group to vehemently protest antiquated equipment But the protest appears to be much stronger in the United States "Some American charter pilots refuse to fly to airports that only use the non-directional beam,’’ says Steve Wodjylak, a Philadelphia pilot who Red Cross offers course SHERBROOKE ' JKH — A course for Red Cross “leader" level will begin April 21 given by the Sherbrooke recreational services The course will be given at Montcalm pool Monday and Wednesday evenings between 7:30 and 10:30, and the fee is $45 oo for the series Interested persons must have the Bronze Medal, the Senior Red Cross badge, and be 15 years of age before the end of June.Registration is at Montcalm pool daily from 5 p m to 8 pm Champlain plans Open House LENNOXVILLE ¦ JKHi — Open House for visitors on the local Champlain campus will be on Wednesday March 26 from 11.30 to 4 30 pm All are welcome Members of the faculty and staff of Champlain College will be available to speak with visitors All facilities will be open for browsing and refreshments will be served For more information call 563-6881 Ti Blanc fined for taxes SHERBROOKE — Mr Adalbert (Ti-Blano Richard of Sherbrooke, pleaded guilty in the Court of Sessions of the Peace of St Francois District to charges laid by the Minister of National Revenue under Section 239 of the Income Tax Act.Richard was charged with having omitted to report income in the amount of $22.287 for taxation years 1976 and 1977.thus avoiding tax of $3.863 79.Richard was fined $1.500 or an alternate sentence of one month in jail by judge Louis-Denis Bouchard of the Court of the Sessions of the Peace of St Francois District In addition to the tax ow ing, the accused must also pay an administrative penalty of 25 per cent of the tax due A delay of six months has been allowed by the Judge to pay the fines recently flew into Sherbrooke on a private jet."But we don’t have the same problem getting new systems installed Our government realizes it's worth every penny and as a result we have airports smaller than Sherbrooke's that are far better equipped ’’ There’s a glimmer of hope that if Transport Canada continues to refuse to give Sherbrooke the ILS.they might agree to installing half the system."With a localizer and a DME, pilots could pinpoint the direction they're flying in They wouldn’t be able* to measure their descent slope, but it’s possible that the localizer alone would decrease the descent ceiling," civil aviation inspector Bert Salvador said.The difference in cost between installing half the ILS and the complete system are staggering.Setting up half the system would only cost about $150,000 and just $25.000 a year to keep up Another solution also is in the works.Pierre Champagne says a microwave landing system that does the job of an ILS is currently being tested.The MLS is made of solid-state components which are relatively cheap to replace, is easy to install, doesn’t need much servicing and is on the whole a cheaper proposition "The government and the International Civil Aviation Organization should give the MLS its approval within the next few years and it should be marketable within six years.” Champagne said."We see it as the answer to servicing all these small regional airports." Sherbrooke Airport administrator Collard says he’ll be happy with what ever the government gives him and hinted that he’s asking for the big cheese just to make sure he gets a slice of it."In negotiations sometimes you have to demand a lot to make sure you end up with something," he said But if Sherbrooke could muster up the political clout, it wouldn't have to settle for second best.When Three Rivers was nothing more than a hump in a mud bank, local MP and Transport Minister Leon Balcer had a fancy airport built to accommodate his trips home from Ottawa Megantic-Compton-Stanstead MP Claude Tessier says he’ll do what he can to push Sherbrooke’s case with Pepin.But if he doesn’t consider the region’s development a priority, Tessier isn’t likely to have much luck “The issue isn’t so much the ILS; it's whether or not Sherbrooke as a whole is given priority over other airports," he says.Champagne agrees.Part of the reason he refuses to consider installing an ILS in Sherbrooke is because reps from all the other regional airports in Quebec would claw the finish off his wood panelling But if Sherbrooke is treated royally as the Queen of the fast-developing Townships she would have carte blanche She’d no longer have to grapple with the feds for petty funds to clear the runway of brush in the summer and snow in the winter Parents and friends are invited to visit Massey

in Quebec.For many of them, sovereignty-association appears to be more promising in this regard.They are concerned with the survival ol Montreal’s English community on which their professional future depends.Teachers in junior colleges and high schools do not have skills in demand in other provinces where enrolments are also dropping They have a vested interest, therefore, in ending theOttawaQuebec confrontation over the constitution and the province’s place in Canada.FAVOR CHANGE Anti business attitudes are more prominent among students, who have little sympathy for the ideals that still prevail in the English community of Montreal Apart from a natural desire to come to terms with the French majority in Quebec, there is also a tendency among them to use sovereignty-association as a lever with which to overthrow the establishment and bring about a more rapid rate of social change.The organizers of the meeting were apparently taken aback at the success of the friendly encounter between the I’Q cabinet and English-speaking voters However, the committee has been a fringe group in Quebec politics with little influence except within a rather narrow circle of campus radicals.It is led by Henry Milner, a political science teacher at Vanier College in Montreal.He and others in his group believe sovereignty-association is the thin edge of the wedge that will eventually bring socialism to Quebec.Such expectations are not supported by anything in the l’arti Québécois program.The committee’s credibility has been undermined in the past by its members' refusal to participate in PQ policy conventions and to take an open stand on questions of interest to English speaking people in the province.Its uncritical acceptance of government policies have seriously limited the movement's expansion.However, the fact that it has been able to get the premier and six cabinet ministers to participate in an all-day meeting with English-speaking people shows it has the ear of the government.Its influence may spread considerably if it becomes the unofficial agent for the distribution of grants for English language cultural activities in Montreal and elsewhere in the province.In an v event, the greatest pressure on political attitudes now comes from the distinct possibility that the Parti Québécois may win the referendum The English community is becoming worried about being too one-sided in its attitudes and now welcomes diversity of opinion as a form of protection The question-and-answer period brought warm applause to several responses offered by PQ ministers.Holier than thou The weekend conference in Montreal sponsored by the Committee of Anglophones for Sovereignty-Association was a most interesting social exercise.It brought together some very diverse elements of English Quebec, elements which, if left to their own devices, would cheerfully have cut each others’ throats.We would not call the day productive.There was very little said of importance, and what was said has been said before.The only hard news to come out of the Sheraton Mount Royal Hotel was from the lips of Premier Levesque, who hinted that freedom of choice in education could be reinstated once Quebec achieved independence.The premier prefaced his hints by saying it was a commitment, and despite many, many Reports to the contrary.Mr.Levesque has never broken a promise.But independence is a pretty high price to pay for the repeal of Bill 101, and he never said the law would be repealed.In other words, it was no big deal and it cost him nothing.All it did was get him headlines to drown out whatever Liberal Leader Claude Ryan was saying to the Italian Community.Otherwise, Sunday’s experience was deadening.There was no real dialogue; the ministers spoke, a few questions were posed and the answers tended to be both empty and long-winded.There was something disconcerting about watching so many supposedly intelligent people sitting there applauding the endless anti-federal message without asking even the most basic questions.In truth, the ministers glossed over all the tricky parts of Sov-Ass, and this motley collection of anglophones was even more complacent than a similar meeting would be in even the most heavily pe-quiste Montreal ridings.Without getting into a ridiculous name-calling game over who’s a traitor and who isn’t, we would say the general atmosphere of Sun day’s meeting reflects a basic truth in a situation like that engendered by CASA.The unquestioning fashion in which the majority of the audience accepted the words of the PQ ministers and the SovAss line reflects the individual righteousness of many present.They were like so many born-again Christians, full of evangelical fervor for the SovAss message with all its contradictions and soft spots.The general message was that the true believers are saved by their faith, even if that faith happens to be blind.And the premier knew so well how to stroke the feelings of vanity and self-importance so prevalent among the crowd, telling them that an anglo vote for SovAss is an act of courage and a vote for the future of Quebec, proof that Quebecers and Québécois can act in concert.Ves, the day was a media event.Yes.we contributed to the importance of that event by-being there.But the avowed intentions of people like Kevin Drummond and CASA to vote yes are a sign that perhaps the forces of No ought to be calling meetings and inviting speakers as well.A May referendum such as the PQ is now hinting isn't very far off.and let’s just say it's looking better for a Yes than it is for a No JAMES DUFF 1 Letters Editor: Wo were distressed to learn from some of our Legion members in the Sherbrooke area thal Thursday, March 6th, of the

paper.Trusting that you will see fit to correct the error and send us a copy ol the issue which will set the record straight.J.McCORMACK Co-Chairman Action-Canadian-Cnitv Committee The following is an open letter to all the Members of Quebec Command of the Royal Canadian Legion Hear Comrades: "There are crucial moments in the history of peoples as there are in the lives of individuals”.This is a direct quotation from the introductory paragraphs of the White Paper on Sovereignty Association “Quebec-Canada : A New Deal" published in November 1979, by the Government of Quebec The words underline the importance of the question which each of as will be called upon to answer with a simple "yes" or "no" in the coming referendum The avowed aim of the Government is to separate Quebec from Canada.To this end Quebecers will be asked to give the Government a mandate to negotiate the terms of the sovereignty association with the rest of Canada spelled out in the White Paper, and thus to take the first step towards its objective.Let there be no mistake, sovereignty association means separation.The words are different but their intent is the same.The Legion as the representative of those, who, in time of war went to the defence of our Country to protect our rights and liberties, cannot stand idly by and allow events to take their course.Our very raison d’etre obliges us to resist any attempt to tear Canada apart.The Legion therefore vigorously opposes giving the Government the mandate it seeks and calls upon its members to say NO to the question in the coming referendum.This, comrade, will honour the sacrifice of those who are no longer with us A majority "yes" vote will not necessarily lead to separation.But we must not deceive ourselves as to the significance which will be attached to such a result.The supporters of independence will look upon it as a victory and as a giant step forward towards separation, and it will encourage them in the pursuit of their objective.We must recognize the gravity of the threat to the unity of our Country and must realize thal a “yes" vote will be interpreted by many inside and outside of Quebec as an endorsement of separation.The Legion opposes the separation of Quebec; but that does not mean that the Legion supports or accepts the status quo.On the contrary the Legion believes that important modifications should be made in the Canadian Constitution.For example.the Quebec Command submitted a brief to the Pepin-Robarts Commission containing the following recommendations: 1 That the Canadian Parliament adopt a new constitution modelled on the British North America Act, including "The Declaration of Human Rights", "The Official Languages Act", and a "Formula for Constitutional Amendment".Furthermore.Great Britain should simultaneously renounce any jurisdiction over the Canadian constitution; 2.that a more widespread use of French be promoted across Canada Canadians should have access across Canada to an education in the official language of their choice.The ideal would be for each Canadian to speak both official languages and in this manner be able to live, to work and to feel at home throughout the country; 3 that everyone should have the right to be heard and judged in the courts in the official language of his choice But constitutional changes and reforms, particularly those which give to the Provinces autonomy in those fields which are properly within their jurisdiction, can only come about as the result of processes which will necessarily be long and difficult and which will demand the concerted effort and understanding of Canadians.It is all in- conceivable that at this crucial moment in the history of Canada Quebecers should withdraw within the boundaries of Quebec.Quebec is our Province, Canada is our Country.We will abandon neither the one nor the other Canada belongs to Quebecers and to all Canadians.We inherited a land from our forefathers; we must hold it intact for our children The Legion therefore asks you to keep Canada together and to oppose any formula which in any way seeks to divide our Country When the challenge posed by the referendum has been met we must all work together as Quebecers and Canadians to ensure that our Canada will be a true and living federation K.L.FORD, Provincial President

where he could gel some cocaine at Studio 545 on the night in question landau also turned over a cryptic personal memo re ferring to the incident The note says, "Ham 54 .C" He told the prosecutor that the "C" was shorthand for cocaine Christy and his staff have interrogated landau on four separate occasions, totalling more than 20 hours The grilling was often hostile Christy had landau draw' a map

The prosecutor reminded landau several times that the penalty for perjury is a stiff prison term and fine, and then asked whether he wanted to change his story Christy's tactics convinced landau that he, not Jordan, is the target of the investigation Sources close to the investigation have told mv asso elate Gary Cohn that landau, nevertheless, has struck to his story Some sources say that Christy

heart was returned to East's jack.East played his ace of diamonds.South ruffed but the defense had three tricks in and were still sure of a club trick.South criticized North's three-spade bid.He asked why North hadn't just taken away all value of his diamond honors North felt that the game bid was a good one.It would have been a cinch if East had held the ace of hearts instead of West and it was just unfortunate that one club discard on a good diamond hadn't been worth anything.In all this discussion no one saw that Souh could and should have made the game against all those misfortunes.All he had to do would be to play a low diamond from dummy at trick one.That would have left East right between a rock and a hard place.He could play his ace of diamonds and shift to a heart.The defense could score the first three tricks but then South would get two club discards instead of one, or East could duck.Now South could set up one of dummy's diamonds for a heart discard and would only lose one heart.(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

Although Almon would prefer to play his natural shortstop position, he admitted that "I really want to play badly, so 1 11 play anywhere."
