Minister Jacques Parizeau s l9«o budget, distinguished mainly by higher spending and lower taxes which gang up to bring Quebecers a record $2.:?billion deficit Lost cost housing, loan seeking small businesses, welfare cheaters and delinquent taxpayers who now face a là-per cent interest charge on their unpaid balance are the big losers in a budget blasted by the opposition lor ' mortgaging the future ol Quebec Perhaps the biggest potential change is in the tax structure on gasoline, w hich until ioda> was a fixed rate of -t 2 cents a litre Beginning this morning, the provincial tax on a litre ol gas is 20 per cent which means Quebec s share goes up whenever the federal govern men: raises gas prices Since Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is almost obliged to raise gasoline prices in the near future.Parizeau said at last night's budget press conference Quebec will be in a position to cash in as well And no other single aspect of the Parizeau budget drew quite as much opposition criticism Former PQ Industn and Commerce Minister Rodrigue Tremblay hammered the government for profiting from lederally imposed gas price increases on the backs of Quebecers, and was equally critical of the record deficit.Liberal Finance critic Andre Raynauld blasted the government for "mortgaging the future ol Quebec" in allowing the $2 î billion deficit He also criticized the H per cent increase in government spending, accusing Parizeau of contradicting his own past statements and promises The budget does not single out the Tow nships as an area w here industry is to be revitalized, but the removal of the sales tax on furniture and textiles will have a positive effect on two of the Township's vital industries, wood products and textiles The abolition ol 'he sales tax on linen and furniture excluding electrical appliances and television sets is aimed at tax relief for the small wage-earner, who will receive minimal benefit from the three-per cent reduction in personal income

two primary election defeats which defied all predictions.Considered politically dead only a week ago, the 48-year-old Massachusetts senator made a comeback after big wins in the New York and Connecticut primaries He needed one victory to stay in the race, and he got two Tuesday.But he still faces perhaps insurmountable hurdles in his bid to deny President Carter renomination.Despite his defeats, the president emerged wdth just more than half the l .666 delegates he needs to become his party's nominee at the Democratic convention in August On the Republican side, former UN ambassador George Bush received a boost to his sagging campaign by winning his home state of Connecticut bul in New York.Ronald Reagan emerged with the lion’s share of delegates.Kennedy beat Carter by 47 to 41 per cent in Connecticut and by 59 to 41 per cent in delegate-rich New York Rea gan lost to Bush by 29 to 24 per cent in Connecticut with 22 per cent going to Illinois Congressman John Anderson who did not campaign in the state.In New York's Republican primary.Reagan won 72 delegates while Bush won only six.An additional 28 delegates elected were uncommitted C ARTER NEARS M ARK CBS News said that President Carter now has 846 delegates to 402 for Kennedy in a race in which the winner is the hrsl man to reach L666 Reagan has 292 of the 998 delegates he needs to secure his party's nomination Bush has 68, and Anderson 44 Bush, in Milwaukee, said the Connecticut victory bodes well for him in Wisconsin next Tuesday "It looks to me like I was getting my point across If if made a difference there it will make a difference here " Reagan, said "There are a lot of primaries to go and I'm sure there will be wins and losses Bul I Ihink we re well mi the way " Kennedy said the New York and Connecticut voters "were sending a very clear and powerful message that they can no longer afford an inflation rate of 18 per cent and interest rates that match " At the While House, press secretary Jody Powell said Tuesday's losses will not lead Carter to begin campaigning actively And he insisted that the challenger still faces a difficult struggle to overtake Carter With 99 per cent of the voting districts counted in New York's Democratic primary, the results read: Kennedy 572.954 or 59 per cent, for 164 delegates Carter 299,561 or 41 per cent, for 118 delegate"-; Photo Claudia Bowers

Although this spiritual mutation could spread, step by step, so as to reach all of humanity, it is pre-eminently a personal phenomenon, something interior, something written on the heart of every man and woman in the inviolable recesses of their conscience.I am but a human being, one among thousands of millions who dream of a just world where life would be more pleasant and air more breathable.But I believe that each and every man and woman has a part to live My role, I am persuaded, consists in expressing my vision of the future, poised on the threshold of a spiritual mutation.Mr.Stratford is director of information at the University of Sher brooke's Public Relations Department Refspeak Letters Journalistic criticism Yes, yes, we know you’re all sick to death with the referendum and the endless say-nothing speeches, but bear with us.We’re going to have some fun.You may have noticed we use strange abbreviations in our headlines.This is because we have to get the headlines to fit the space allotted, since we can’t write the headlines before we lay out the pages.Headlines are measured in units — i’s, t’s, r’s, l’s and the other skinny letters count for half a unit each; regular letters one; capitals one and a half, except for capital M’s, W’s and sometimes D’s, which count for two, depending on the typeface you’re using.We have only so many units per headline, so what does the poor headwriter do when faced with a compound like sovereignty-association?We weren’t the first to use SovAss, but we re the first, and to our knowledge, only daily to use it on front page.And it has a nice ring.The word referendum poses similar problems.Referendum just doesn’t lend itself to snappy heads.The word has a sonorous, echoing sound to it.So, we said, why don’t we just cut off the first three letters and graft them onto other, shorter nouns?So referendum lost its identity as a noun.Now it’s a modifier, a sneaky little prefix we can tack onto dozens of words to tell the story.We have refdebates, refbattles, refcam-paigns, refvotes, refrules, reflaws, refquest-ion, refdates, refbill, you name it.Admittedly, it’s not good English.But even the lions of American journalism recognize headlinese as a privileged branch of journalese, itself a notorious butcher of the Queen’s English.We make no excuses, nor do we seek your sympathy for our cause.But those of you who wince at refrules are most cordially invited to come on in here at 6 a.m.every day to come up with something better.JAMES DUFF Editor: It seems strange that, in defense of his Dec.28 commentary, Don Young resorts to trying to convince his readers that what I of- fered was personal criticism and not journalistic criticism.I labelled one specific passage of his writing to be “amateurish drivel", however Mr.Young tries to convince us that I had called his work, seemingly without restriction or reservation to MR.PRESIDENT, THE HOSTAGES., MR.PRESIDENT.THE WORD FROM IRAN IS.SHHHHH SUHHHH MR.PRESIDENT, KHOMEINI HAS PRESIDENT INFLATION HAS HIT 19,6 %.SHHHHH p-y^nnt»m|jKî« UKONTO iHiN be this.When I questioned the reasoning evidenced in the passage, Mr Young interpreted this as "having called.my mental processes ‘high school logic’ .” without restriction.Again, when I questioned the zeal of the particular passage, Mr.Young represents me to be calling his motivation “obsession”.Indeed, Mr Young makes me out to be incapable of distinguishing between the sum of thoughts, motivations etc.that we attribute to his person rather than one part of his journalistic effort Mr Young laces his frustrated defense with underhanded insinuations intended to discredit what I said without showing why my criticisms were supposedly incorrect.For example, he says “If I understand you correctly, Mr.Simms - it’s not always easy.” He equates my criticism of his journalistic effort with “red - baiting of the McCarthian era” maintaining that I would willingly censure points of view that oppose my own.It seems that Mr.Young failed to read my enthusiasm for controversial material, subject to basic stylistic considerations.Attempting to strengthen his defence, Mr.Young invokes a fallacious appeal to authority when he trumpets “1 am a professional historian." We often fail to question statements coming from supposed authorities in a given field.A person's authority does not, however, guarantee that whatever he says is true.Nevertheless, I wonder whether Mr.Young is trying to attest to the truth of the historical facts which he presents (and which 1 did not contest), or, wnetner he’s trying to jack up our sagging acceptance of his interpretation, or, whether he’s trying to embellish his attempt at social philosophy that I criticized in the preamble to his commentary?After considering the matter, I’ll withdraw my “Marxist” description of his historical interpretation.However, I would replace it with depersonalized, for his interpretation has deleted all direct reference to the names of people.To this, I would add narrow because the interpretation exposes only a limited number of political or economic matters, ignoring everything else including the incredible importance of the role of an institution such as the Catholic church in the history of Quebec and in the preservation of the French Canadian culture.The interpretation is isolationist for it fails to situate the events occurring in Quebec within a larger framework of those happening elsewhere in North America or in Europe.No mention was made of the importance of the French revolution to what occurred in Quebec, for example I find Mr.'Young’l interpretation negative in its emphasis of conflict .nowhere do we read of the community of interest or cooperation among cultural groups such as the English and French.I suppose that I.like many Townshippers, would prefer to accent the positive, rather than that which was obviously part of any series of events that, in the past, succeeded in the setting apart of people who talked different languages In concluding his defense.Mr.Young again resorts to one pillar of his journalistic style - personal marsh-mallowing; "And if the likes of Mr.Simms have been awaken.” I don’t think it’s necessary for me to defend my state of consciousness to Mr.Young, however, I really wonder how he manages to reconcile this type of babbling with his assumed professionalism.It must be through another triumph of the circuituous reasoning we have nearly seen enough of.DAVID SIMMS, Hatley Let’s speak up on rural mail Carter ‘tough’ Soviet policy lacks adequate clout WASHINGTON — Jimmy Garter’s new “tough” policy toward the Soviet Union is neither tough nor policy.In a pathetic mockery of Teddy Roosevelt’s “big stick” maxim, the president has been jawboning loudly and carrying a fly swatter The grain embargo hurt American farmers more than it damaged the Soviets.The summer Olympics boycott appears to be falling apart.The one move that could really punish the Russians is the ban on export of technological goods.We have the computers; the Russians want them - badly.With much fanfare, the president announced that the sale of American technological merchandise would cease.But the ink was barely dry on the presidential directive before Commerce Department officials were reassuring American manufacturers:Don’t worry, the freeze is only-temporary.In fact, the technology embargo is not only temporary, but as full of holes as an Emmentaler cheese And the bureaucratic mice at Commerce are busily chewing even more holes in the embargo.Incredibly, one of these holes is literally big enough to drive a truck through.The disclosure that'Russian troops rode into Afghanistan in trucks produced with American equipment at the huge Kama River industrial complex was shocking enough.Now the Commerce Department hucksters are drafting an exemption to the export ban that would permit continued servicing, plus the shipment of spare parts to the Kama River factories The Carter administration has given conflicting accounts of its technology embargo.The president assured members of Congress at a top-level brietmg Jan.8 that he wanted the sale of sophisticated machinery to the Soviets and their satellites stopped, period Yet no order was issued Sen Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., wrote a terse letter to the president, demanding to know why the administration Jack Anderson had not lived up to Carter's assurances.The White House didn't even reply for over a month.A spokesman explained that Thurmond's letter somehow "fell through the cracks." Meanwhile, over at the State Department, Richard Cooper, undersecretary for economic affairs, told my associate Vicki Warren, "the suspension is temporary," The idea was to half equipment sales while an interagency task force studied the situation, he explained, the freeze was never meant to be permanent, according to Cooper, nor does he anticipate a “dramatic shift" in policy when the review is completed.A contradictory appraisal came from the Commerce Department’s general counsel, Homer Mover.He insisted that the changes in the export pi gram will be ' profound.’’ and said.“It will not be a short-term policy." But others in the department are working on exemptions that would permit the lucrative export trade to continue Larry Brady, who quit Commerce in disgust over the lack of firm export controls, described the planned exemptions as "directly contrary to the president’s stated goal of attacking the economic plans of the Soviet Union." Kwn w iihmii exemptions, much useful technology slips through to the Russians because of loose licensing requirements.Many commodities can be exported without licenses, and these are unaffected by even the temporary embargo.One such item, unbelievable as it seems, is an assembly line for producction of diesel engines at - where else?- the Kama River truck plant.It will be shipped this spring unless the administration takes action - and this it has failed to do, despite inquiries from the manufacturer, Ingersoll-Rand.As part of its jawboning techniques, the administration has called on U S.allies to adhere strictly to the rules laid down by the allies’ export control committee for technology sales to the Soviet sphere.The request has a hollow ring to it.since most of the rules violations are for sales by U.S.firms.UNION DOOZY: At a time when the nation's 22,000 credit unions were just allowed by Congress to raise their interest rates from 12 per cent to 15, the high-living flair of the Michigan Credit Union League leaves a sour taste with some members.After polling its membership - the administrators of credit unions throughout the state - the league selected Edinburgh, Scotland, as the site for its annual Management Development Travel Conference" next September.The junket will include tours of Boston and Lexington-Concord en route, plus the option of “an extended stay in an exciting city of your choice in Europe." One disgusted credit union official filled in his suggestion of a conference site as “Siberia (one-way ticket)," and offered as a topic for discussion at the conference "The Michigan Credit Union Code of Ethics.” MIFFED MOBSTER: Louisiana crime kingpin Carlos Marcello was upset by my column and other reports linking him to the John F Kennedy assassination.Marcello told FBI informant Joseph Hauser the stories were upsetting his family, and that they were a lot of “Dull .Editor: 1 very strongly support the opinions expressed in your columns by many rural mail delivery routers against the idea of limiting deliveries to four days per week.Unfortunately most of our lawmakers lack first-hand and practical knowledge needed to deal realistically with the question involved.Surely it is time that more and more of our lawmakers be exposed to conditions, in every season, in all parts of our vast country, federally and provincially.Such would prevent many regulations such as have been passed during the past several years.I am sure.Those in power in our legislatures would do well to mingle more.^~ and not just before an election - with the man and woman on the street’ to get practical, not just theoretical ideas, for action and plans needed for the contentment and welfare of our country.What about staying sometimes, in various areas to experience, first-hand, their way of living and thinking, and understand their philosophy and needs for their betterment, psychologically.There are people of all walks of life, lawyers, doctors and other professions, businessmen and women, who prefer country life to the rush and turmoil of the crowded cities and need their mail to successfully carry on their business line.Anyone who thinks at all, knows that world news lacks interest if three days old! Would it be a good idea to legislate back the smaller post offices for improved mail services?(One chap received about one-quarter of an important legal communication of which the other part had been riddled by a mechanical sorter.Would that have happened in hand-sorting?) Giving better mail service would be one way of creating more jobs, with a small discount, graciously given from the large paycheques of our Members of Parliament.Many have wondered why our Honourable Members have not thought of legislating such.Human rights should be applicable to all laws concerning all phases of the general public’s lives.Kurat residents ask our lawmakers to put the ideas of

facing some of the same medicine Negotiations to renew' the contracts of the doctors, dentists and pharmacists working under the plan were progressing peacefully until Iasi week.when a preliminary outline of a social affairs department report which recommends a new system of remuneration for the healthcare professionals was leaked.Now talks with three of the four unions representiong the professionals have broken off, and all are demanding explanations from the government.Under the recommendations contained in the report, Quebecers would continue to receive free health care, paying only through a progressively-structured fee at income tax time.But the report recommends abolishing the current per-visit system of paying health-care professionals, and replacing it with an “elastic salary," based on hours worked.number of patients seen and services rendered UNIONS SITT’EUKir Spokesman for the four unions grouping general practitioners, specialists, dentists and pharmacists — say they are “stupefied" by the new plan, and are demanding that Social Affairs Minister Denis Lazure “lay his cards on the table." Dr Paul Desjardins of the medical specialists' federation, the only group which decided to remain at the bargaining table Thursday, said the report threatens to disrupt renewal of the agreement, which expired last November Desjardins said his association will not accept a disguised salary system, especially “one which forces a number of inconveniences on our members without offering any advantages " Lazure's office had no immediate comment on the breakdown in talks But Laz.ure has said he considers the per-visit payment system "a fetter around our neck which only benefits 90 per cent of doctors " The full report to the government is to be completed some time next month i -vV- f .v* i at THo r \Li.DIRECTED BY LONDON (.RI I N MISI I N SC f N '// help your Heart Fund help your heart 'march t ickets - billets: S3.50 27, 28, 29 M//RS 8:30 p.m.Centennial Theatre Bishop's University LF:\NOXVII.LL.QÜP.St iclents - étudiants: 52.50 r20h.30 AC?- — Æ 7 A Vv \ A f V VA 44 « ¦* 4993 6 WED , MAR 36, i960 V Living a____s»i ifBcora Ann Landers Fortune tellers are not to be believed Iiriii \iin |.iimlrrs: I am a total wreck PImw help me Last wei-k I went to see a fortune teller and what she said upset me terribly First, she told me I will become pregnant soon, and my husband will not live to see the baby Then she said my father will die within four months She charged me $10 Can fortune tellers predict what is going to happen’’ Is it possible that certain people have the power to see ahead’’ I'm so miserable I can’t eat or sleep Please answer soon Scared In licath In Canada Deal Scared: If that woman could see into the future she wouldn't he sitting in some back room, examining tea leaves or staring into a glove for $10 a pop.She’d be at the $too window at the racetrack, playing the stock market and cleaning up on election bets Now, go eat a salami sandwich and get a good night’s sleep Dear Ann l anders: People often write to you about moochers Well, there IS a tactful way to dodge the graft of habitual “borrowers”.Here’s how I managed it.A neighbor (notorious for sponging) came over last evening and asked if she could borrow a Rand-Aid.I pretended to get it, then returned empty-handed 1 told her I was fresh out and would have to buy some.I figured it’s not my responsibility to subsidize an addle-brained neigh bor and felt no guilt whatever.Thanks for giving me a chance to offer a solution to a petty problem Nobody's Patsy Dear Pat: In my opinion, you handled that petty problem in an even pettier way.On my list of ‘‘Generous Deeds to Folks in Need,’’ I’d rate you two notches lower than a gnat's ankle.Dear Ann l.anders: My sister was married recently at a big church wedding She received over 350 gifts.Of that number, 22 gifts could not be acknowledged because she had no idea who sent them.The wrappings gave no clue.There was no sign of the store in some cases, and others bad bought the gift Lord-knows where and put it in a box from a fancier store So please, Ann, tell your readers not to be so hard on brides when they don’t send thank-you notes.Suggest, too, that they put their cards INSIDE the boxes so they will not be torn off accidentally.This simple procedure could solve many problems for both the giver and the receiver.I.inia, Ohio Dear Lima : Thank you for some practical advice.Your letter may also provide an explanation as to why 22 people in Lima received no thank-you notes for their wedding gifts.Here is another letter - same song, second verse: Dear Ann: Can you find two inches of space to tell people that when they send a card or a letter to a hospital patient, a return address is very important?We have a huge pile of mail here, improperly addressed, and there is no way these cards and letters can be returned to the senders Also, it would help a lot if the word “patient’’ appeared on the envelope.All hospital mail arrives in bulk patients, employees, physicians and nurses clumped together.I can’t tell you how sad 1 feel when we have to throw out piles of beautiful cards and stacks of letters because we don’t know what else to do with them.Thank you, dear Ann.— Nanaimo, Canada Dear Nan: Another thing the U S.can thank Canada for!

this was long before she won the Nobel Prize I was very impressed by her work She was portrayed as a lady who really gave she gave of herself, she gave everything The interviewer put an interesting question to her, he said, not everybody can give it all the way you do, what can we ordinary people do?Her answer was that everybody, in their own way, can give a bit and eventually, on a cumulative level, this giving will be felt.” “I felt that since music is a good way to give, a concert for Sister Teresa might bring a little bit of her spirit of kindness to us, and of course she can well use the money we raise.This is also turning out to be an MKI ( Moral and Religious Instruction) project for the kids They’re getting to learn about Sister Teresa and they’re being introduced to a concept of sharing and giving.’’ Ironically this concept of sharing and giving almost torpedoed the concert.“At Christmas, when I first started thinking seriously about it, I approached the School Committee to get their backing,” continued Keith.“I was turned down because the funds weren’t being raised for a local cause or organization But the whole point of the concert is to change our perspective a bit, to look a liltle beyond (his very rich and prosperous country we live in, and to think at least a little about people whose needs are far greater than ours.” Turned down by the School Committee, Keith approached the students' council and his fellow teachers.The programs for the concert will read, “sponsored by the students and staff of ADS”.Normally students in the senior grades at ADS don’t spend much more than half an hour a week on music working largely with percussion instruments, and folk songs.Some of them take noon hour lessons on the guitar or recorder from Mr Whittall.As the concert date grows closer however their music classes grow proportionately longer.The kids have also put together song booklets for the concert and prepared a couple of dance numbers The kids at ADS have been working on the concert since mid-January and the 10 somrs they'll be doing represent a little less than half of the numbers which will be presented Performing with the elementary school students will be some ADS graduates like Chris Knowles and Scott Smith and of course, the group, RR5, or as they are more formally known, Rural Root Five Keith is the bass player and leader of the four-man group and the concert is a bringing together of two major aspects of his work.“This is a way of sharing our music with the kids, he said.“From the point of view of the sludents it’s pedagogically interesting; it’ll be an eye-opener for the kids to work with bona fide musicians.And it's going to be enlightening for the band too It'» going to form a strange hybrid but I think it’ll work rather well Certainly it'll be an interesting and unusual combination," Keith feels the hybridization will yield interesting results largely because the formula has worked well in the past In fact, Rural Root Five is very much of a hybrid -very different people of different ages and backgrounds getting together to work towards a common goal Some four years ago, when the band was first formed it was a five man combo (hence the name), and three of the founding members Keith, Nelson Willey and Dave Fonda are still with the band Wendy Smith, who besides being the youngest is also the only female member, has been with the band for about a year The band's music has emphasized country tunes although it’s moved towards a wider variety of country and country-rock On a typical evening the group will play a number of Hank Williams songs and a variety of older country tunes as well as a bit of old rock and roll and some west coast country rock tunes by Linda Ronstadt, Emy L°u Harris, Graham Parsons, etc.) The band, especially lately, haa been playing a number of songs of their own compoaition Keith acknowledge* that at times it's difficult to keep the ends log ether While Wendy and Nelson are relatively tree, he himseu ia tiea up with school, farm and family, and Dave, the group's drummer, lives and works m Montreal and dashes out on weekends for practices and gigs Although the music can't earn them their livelihood, it remains a serious hobby and an important outlet Last year Keith and Dave both participated in the Robin Concert held at RRHS "Today making money is where it’s at," Keith explained, "but the Robin concert was done for fun and it was a rewarding experience.This concert is going to be much the same, but it'll have the added advantage of letting us present our music." Nelson echoed Keith’s sentiments."This is the first time we won’t be playing a bar or dance," he noted "It's going to be very different; Tm used to playing for people who’ve come out to dance and drink and have a good time I hope they’ll have a good time Thursday night too of course, but they’ll be there to support a good cause and listen to what we can do.It’ll be different but it should be good." Given the track record of ADS concerts and the versatility of RR5, the concert will very likely prove to be an entertaining musical evening Besides folk songs like Noval Scotia Farewell and Turn Turn Turn, the program will offer a number of country tunes (San Antonio Rose.Jumbalaya) and most interesting of all, about ten original compositions by RR5 (the kids at ADS particularly enjoy Kantu Sea - a lively ditty which ends with the line, “Ha Ha! Sharks got me ") Admission to the concert is $2.50 per person or $5 00 per family.Grants for the aged MONTREAL (JKH) — Golden age groups across the province will receive $491,719 in grants for social, recreational, and educational activities, the Federal Health and Welfare Minister Monique Begin announced recently.The grants will benefit some 13,601 people.vy Social & Personal The friends of Mrs.Pauline McVetty of Cookshire will be sorry to learn she is a patient in the Sherbrooke Hospital, suffering from pneumonia.All wish her a speedy recovery, to good health.à It's twins At Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital on March 9, Isabelle, 4 lbs.14 or.and Karine, 5 lbs.13 Vi oz., daughters of Mr.and Mrs.Viateur Côté (Solange Poirier) of Cowansville were born.Following a long-established custom, the Hospital Womens Auxiliary, represented here by Miss Elizabeth Collins, present silver cups to the babies.Congratulations to the family.upon clippers if she uses your favorite Pointer.Peeve or Problem in hei coupon clippers her column.Write POLLY'S POINTERS in care of this newspaper.NOW OPEN IN LENNOXVILLE THE NAIL SHOP Offering manicures, permanent nails (acrylic) that I can model on yours.SPECIAL ATTENTION TO LADIES WHO WANT TO STOP BITING THEIR NAILS.SPECIAL PRICE FOR OPENING.PLEASE CALL 565-0916 ^MONTREAL ^HAPEHIES MARCH t .n 27 / FIGHT (i CANCER >T CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY on lined or unlined ANY FABRIC S ?ANY SIZE * ANY PRICE That’s value!
