Bank rate now 10.67% OTTAWA - The Bank of Canada rate dropped Thursday to 10 67 per cent from 11 29 last week, and the five major banks quickly followed the central bank's lead and lowered their prime rates The Bank of Montreal, the Royal Bank of Canada, the Bank of Nova Scotia.Toronto-Dominion Bank and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce all dropped the rate charged their most credit worthy corporate customers to 13.25 per cent from 13.75 per cent.The Mercantile Bank of Canada and the National Bank of Canada followed suit.The Royal Bank said rates on consumer loans, mortgages and other loans are under review The Bank of Canada rate, which usually sets the trend for banks' borrowing charges, has been dropping steadily since it reached a high of 16 2 per cent April 3.The bank rate, which floats from week to week, is set one-quarter ol a percentage point above the average interest paid on 91-day treasury bills auctioned every Thursday at the central bank to raise money to finance part of the government's operations.The new average interest paid on $680 million of 91-day treasury bills is 10 42 per cent, down from 11.04 per cent last week Inside MAYORS BEWARE Bill 105, Quebec s newest attempt at regulating municipal government, would set strict guidelines for everything from election expenses to conflict of interests — if it passes third reading in its present form.Page 3.OUTDOORS Now that the game fishing sea son is upon us, Real Hebert offers a few tips on landing black boss.Page 13.TOWNSHIPS WEEK In today's supplement, Pat Tracy pays a visit to Little Forks, a natural food store in Lennoxville; Donnelly previews Music by Rodgers, Lyrics by Hart, The Piggery Theatre's opening production; Don Young reviews ‘Kramer vs.Kramer' and Donnelly profiles the Oracle, a revolutionary turntable manufactured in Sherbrooke.BIRTHS, DEATHS.2 BUSINESS.5 CLASSIFIED .10 COMICS.8 EDITORIAL.4 LIVING.6 SPORTS .13 The old watchmaker died and left 500 clocks.His lawyer is busy winding up the estate.J-L I iaso) “ft’s the very newest in electric cars and comes complete with 150 miles of extension cord."

officials badly miscalculated unemployment levels, a former Liberal cabinet minister said Thursday.Bryce Mackasey, who held the manpower portfolio in the early 1970s.told the Commons the government initiated well-orchestrated campaigns across Canada highlighting alleged abuses of the unemployment insurance program so it could justify making it harder for unemployed people to get benefits.The tragedy is that the finance department did not appreciate those people were out of work through no fault of their own.said Mackasey, MP for the Ontario riding of Lincoln He was speaking during second-reading debate on legislation that shifts more unemployment insurance costs to the private sector and extends entrance rules that require insurance claimants to work between 10 and 14 weeks in the previous year to collect benefits, The weeks vary according to regional unemployment rates MADE PREDICTIONS Mackasey said a group of senior public servants predicted an unemployment rate of four per cent when he brought in changes to the unemployment insurance system in the early 1970s But when unemployment began to climb beyond that point, officials scrambled to amend the Unemployment Insurance Act to shift more of 4h^nancia^urdei^nh^rograriUo employers and employees.“They were not honest enough to admit they had miscalculated and had not anticipated a long period of five-, six-, seven-or eight-per-cent unemployment in the country,” he said.BRYCE MACKASEY .miscalculation hidden Showers Weather, Page 2 Sherbrooke Friday, June 20,1980 20 cents Sher Hydro rates dip 9% amid tax hike rumors By JOANNE CLEROUX SHERBROOKE — City residents will be getting an average nine per cent cut in their hydro bills beginning July 1 -but they may find themselves paying it right back in tax hikes.City council held a special noon-hour session yesterday to pass a new bylaw in accordance with provincial Bill 87 which forces municipalities with their own hydro service such as Hydro-Sherbrooke to standardize their rates with those of Hydro-Quebec.Because the billing structure of each company is different, farmers will see no drop in their hydro rates, w hile some commercial establishments will be paying up to 20 per cent less, or 15 per cent more for their electricity.The nine per cent figure represents the company’s across the-board average rate cut, but for most residential subscribers, the rate cut will be slightly lower “It won’t be like winning the Loto-Canada draw,” cautioned Hydro-Sherbrooke director Jean Bourassa.adding the reduction in hydro rates will depend on the type of dwelling and the amount of electricity being used The new rates might translate roughly as follows Farmers will not be paying less since Hydro Sherbrooke’s rate for farms was already the same as Hydro Quebec’s.A tenant in a small bachelor apart ment will be paying between five and six percent less, a tenant in a five-room apartment w ith gas or oil heat will pay between seven or eight per cent less, w hile a resident in an electric Jly heated house can expect a 9 per cent drop on his bill Tlie decisive factor is the actual kilowatt consumption.Homes with an average consumption of between 1,000 and 1,200 kilowatts per month get the higtiest saving for residential properties to per cent.For restaurants and other com See HYDRO, Page 2 Ryan for fall election QUEBEC (CP) — Liberal Leader Claude Ryan says he is eager for a fall election and doesn't want to prolong the agony of the Parti Québécois government by waiting until spring for the vote.“We are at the end of a regime," Ryan told a news conference Thursday.In preparation for a September policy meeting, the Quebec Liberals will meet in St.Hyacinthe, east of Montreal, on July 5-6 to review their finances and the state of party organization.Ryan said the tw'o major planks in the election platform will be the constitution and the economy.But the election will also be a choice between two ideologies, he said, elaborating on a theme he used during the campaign for the May 20 referendum.Quebecers will be asked to pick between the individual rights approach of the Liberals or the collective-rights bias of the PQ The Liberals will point out that they favor the private sector, while the PQ seeks expansion of the public sector at the expense private enterprise.The PQ government takes a collective approach to problems, rather than looking at the individuals involved, Ryan said, and sets up boards and commissions to deal with them.”1 think they must have created 25 (such) bodies.” CONTINUES OPTION On the constitution, Ryan said the PQ is in a contradictory position because, even though Quebecers chose federalism, the government continues to stick with its sovereignty-association option.The PQ proposal of political sovereignty for Quebec, coupled with an economic common market with English Canada, was voted down by a 59.56-per-cent margin in the referendum.But Parti Québécois members voted last week to keep it in the party program.Ryan thinks this will help the Liberals, since most Quebecers are federalist.Photo Real Hebert Fresh start Sherbrooke councillor Camil Fortier,

Jacques Cartier or Parc Blanchard Price rests with PAA: Lougheed He called the government’s interpretation of the referendum as the first time Quebec has exercised its right to self-determination “a little bit excessive” since every election is an exercise in self-determination by the people.Premier Rene Levesque says any new constitution for Canada must recognize Quebec’s right to self-determination, but Ryan said he has obtained a legal opinion that it would be a mistake to put such a right in the constitution.With an election in the offing, Ryan said he would like to get new candidates from outside the party, but he is not actively recruiting them OTTAWA (CP) — A solution to oil pricing problems rests now with Prime Minister Trudeau and Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, who meet next month in a final attempt to resolve the impasse between the two governments.Bargaining between Energy Minister Marc Lalonde and his provincial counterpart Merv Leitch broke off Thursday with both sides acknowledging they remain far apart.The only arrangement to emerge after two days of intense negotiations was to extend the existing agreement, which expires June 30, for one month That means there will be no increase before Aug 1 in wellhead prices for crude oil and natural gas The current domestic oil price is $14.75 a barrel, about $23 a barrel below average world prices A failure by Trudeau and Lougheed to agree on future sharing of billions of dollars resulting from higher oil and natural gas prices would set the stage for a constitutional showdown between the Liberal government and Alberta Lalonde said Alberta has rejected the two latest federal offers aimed at winning a new pact to last at least four years.ARE EAR APART Leitch later said the two sides had not even begun detailed bargaining.He said all federal offers to date have left the two levels of government “very, very far apart.” Leitch said he proposed the one-month extension because of the importance of the issue and to allow sufficient time for Trudeau and Lougheed to get together, not because an accord appears imminent.Lalonde, asked whether any significant progress was made this week, said: “As long as people agree to continue talking, there still is hope.But I think il would be wrong to indicate we are quite close.The reverse would be closer to the truth.” He pinpointed pricing and revenue sharing as the major roadblocks to a new pact Marriage— 9 kids, 60 years later EDMONTON’ apalme and Gaétan Fortier have served both la Tribune and Beullac with a letter of demand

Shef-ford coroner Jacques Guertin handed down a verdict of accidental death in the case of Howard Pratt, the 29-year-old Lennoxville resident who died at the Granby Medical Centre on February 25 after

CAPITOL Theatre 59 King east SSS-OITl PARKING FACILITIES 4 F FM., JUNE 20, 1980 Editorial The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Bill 105 faWJ 105, Quebec's latest foray In Its campaign to stan-dardfze municipal practises could prove to be most béMtleial for the ratepayer who wants to break Into the oflfeites closed circle of local council dealings.But the proposed law would set strict limlntatlons on most other aspects of local government.The bill, tabled recently by Municipal Affairs Minister Guy^ Tardif, Is aimed at democratizing councils by exposing the various Influences which tend to affect the way municipalities do business.First, there must be a mandatory question period at every council meeting, although the duration of the question period, its position on the agenda and the procedure to be followed are open.In councils where there are more than 20 councillors and where oral question periods pose problems, ratepayers with questions are urged to present them in written form.Council meetings where budgets or financial reports are to bç presented must be called according to a special procedure.At least eight days betore either, the municipality must publish and post a public an nouncement mentioning: — the location, date, time and purpose of either such session, — the right of all ratepayers to consult the budget or financial statement and to obtain copies, as well as to information telling him how he can consult or obtain copies, — fhe location, date and time of a special session sometime withlnthelSdaysafter the budget or statements are tabled, but before their adoption.This session should be devoted entirely to explanations, questions and comments concerning the budget, financial statements and the general financial health of the municipality.Ten days before this session, a summary ot the budget or the financial statements must be distributed free of charge and without asking, to every civil address In the municipality.Bill 105 also tackles the most prevalent abuse found within the Quebec municipal government system — conflicts of interest.It also gives the solicitor general the power to bring action against councils or councillors who break municipal laws.In the 60 days tollowing their election or nomination, all mayors and councillors must submit to council a written summary of their interests in: — companies, corporations or business; — buildings situated In the municipality or county corporation, regional municipality or regional or urban community which council they sit.The declaration, to be made annually, must also list all jobs, positions on boards as well as loans over $2,000 and contracts with individuals or Institutions other than financial Institutions.Mayors or councillors who fall to file statements within a reasonable period of time every year will not be able to sit on council or receive their salary, and anyone who knowingly files a false or Incomplete statement risks being banned from all municipal office for five years.Currently, only ratepayers may; bring charges against their municipal officials for having broken laws to do with the running of the municipality.Bill 105 gives similar powers to the solicitor-general.MNAs and civil servants of nine ministries, offices or crown corporations can't serve as either mayor or councillor.The nine: — municipal affairs ministry, — environment ministry, — Quebec municipal commission, — real estate valuation revision board, — Quebec Housing Corp., — Quebec Police Commission, — Agricultural Land Protection Board, — Rent Board, — Quebec Development Corp.An exception — those considered as employees of the above mentioned under the Labor Code are eligible to hold office This would Include secretaries, clerical and maintenance workers In return for all the limitations, mayors and councillors get their first salary Increases In three years.Tardif says If competent people are to be attracted to these jobs, they must be offered salaries to suit.Right now, the mayors ot many of the 800 smallest municipalities receive $500 — a quarter of the salary of the average school commissioner, the minister adds.Bill 105 f.xes minimum salaries at $1,500 for mayors, $500 for councillors.For bigger municipalities, there is a scale.The mayor will receive 70 cents per resident in municipalities of less than 5,000 people, 63 cents per for between 5,000 and 15,000, 39 cents per for 15,000 to 50,000, 17 cents for between 50,000 and 100,000, 7 cents for between 100,000 and 300,000, plus half a cent per resident for 300,000 and up.Councillors get a third of what the mayor makes.As of January, 1981, the salaries of mayors and coun clllors will be indexed similar to those of ministers and MNAs.This year, the rate is 6 per cent.Councils wishing to increase their salaries will no longer have to run the risk of an embarrassing referendum, irtstead, the procedure laid down by Bill 105 calls for presentation of a notice of motion which will propose a bylaw citing reasons for the increase and giving the salaries the councillors and mayor would be entitled to under the wage scales contained in the law.The projected bylaw would be the subject of public notice appearing In newspapers at least 21 days before the dqte of the council meeting where the bylaw is to be adopted, mentioning date, time and place.The law would require that the proposal be the first item on the agenda at that meeting.The proposed bill also sets a scale of permissible election expenses during municipal election campaigns.Candidates in municipalities with 20,000 Inhabitants or more are eligible to be reimbursed 50 per cent of their permitted expenses upon presentation of a report of expenses, as long as they received 20 per cent or more of the popular vote.Mayoral candidates ot all municipalities are entitled to a basic $3,000 expenses, plus 25 cents per elector for more than 1,000 voters in municipalities of 1,000 to 20,000, 40 cehtsjper for between 20,000 and 100,000, 30 cents per for more than 100,000.£eW>clllors may claim $1,500expenses, plus 25 cents per voter over 1,000 Ûther aspects of 105.^Dqncll must consult with residents before designing thi Electoral map; — ;Anyone with complaints can complain to Quebec, a Only one councillor per district, ^ AM employers must give employees running for rrfboiçipal office a 14-day leave of absence for the duration of Ills campaign, The employer Is also required to give a successful candidate a leave of absence of up to two full teems of office if so asked.The minister also urges em plbyers not to exert undue work pressure on employees holding municipal office.v- Municipal workers must stay out of all municipal caMpaigns; Byelections must be held for all municipal seats vacated more than a year before the end of term.If the mayor steps down less than a year before the end of his teern, the councillors may name a replacement from arftbng themselves.t- Firms are not permitted to vote in municipal elec-tiefis.1AMKSIH FF Language crusade: A call for cooperation Brian Timmins has been charging along like Don Quixote in his attempt to have every child within the jurisdiction ot tne district of Bedford Regional School Board become functionally bilingual We cannot disagree with his aspirations.We agree with his suggestion that teaching of a second language at the kinder garten level is vital to ensure a relatively high degree of fluency.Teaching a language is one thing, but the application of the second language must extend beyond the confines of a classroom.In other words, it must be used at play, in the home, and at all other practical occasions.It is the old axiom practice makes perfect If the parents don’t speak the second language and the child is only exposed to it Commentary By JOHN McCAGHEY at school, it is a lost cause Fluency and understanding of a second language requires not only a desire on the part of the student but a willingness to get out and mingle with their peers of that tongue.Furthermore, the desire must be aided and supported by the parents.Mr.Timmins is unduly critical of the elected officials of the DBRSB His wife is one of the school commissioners, and perhaps he is using sometimes privileged information to further his own ends We dispute the statistics quoted in his rebuttal to Mrs.Wilma Schmeler in the June 17 issue of The Record.There was an obvious inclusion of parents whose children are predicated to the French school system We do not dispute your ultimate aim, Mr Timmins, but we question the practicality of the entire program you have suggested We can only presume you are aware children at the elementary level have a very low retention span.This is further diminished by the hours they must spend travelling to and from classes.We are very fortunate in the District of Bedford due to the number of elementary schools available in all sectors of the sprawling territory, which is 500 square miles larger than Lebanon.Pity poor parents in the Saguenay-Lake St.John area who have to see a first grader I travel up to 100 miles a day.At least if they are fluent in a second language they can put it to good use, since the area is more than 981 per cent francophone.Fluency comes from use and you aren’t | going to get it here Lest there beany misinsterpretation I am I neither a parent nor affiliated with the DBRSB but merely a concerned citizen.The | board is aware of the problem and has sought ways to improve second-language j teaching within the various restraints imposed by the Ministry of Education.We firmly believe cooperation is the ! stepping stone to success and that requires input from a majority of the parents and students.Letters Thank Providence for Sir John A.Editor ; Canadians, those who really love this Canada of ours - should thank a kind Providence for providing men of the mental stature of Sir John Macdonald and his colleagues, who, in 1867, embued with a deep desire to create a wonderful, strong, and united country forged the entire nation together with twin ribbons of steel to provide a rail system without which the oil and wheat growing industries might still be in the embryo stages.And on the other side of the coin, the manufacturing potential of Ontario and Quebec would not have been developed as fully as it is today without the purchasing ability of the western provinces.We must remember, also, that this pioneer railway was built at an awful cost in labor, lives, and money, yet it was built and the benefits resulting Clarification Editor : W'ith reference to the recent shareholders’ meeting of The Townships Sun Ltd., allow me to make a clarification.Gilles Mailhot’s “dismissal” was not "ratified".Rather, his resignation was accepted.M.Mailhot served The Sun well and gave much of himself to it.His leadership brought The Sun through a period when its very existence was in doubt.There is no question that our whole community has benefited greatly from his many long hours of devotion.All of us here wish Gilles every success in whatever directions his life may take, and hope that he will remain our friend and advisor.CHARLES BURY Editor for the staff at The Tow nships Sun from the building of it cannot be calculated.But, would that unifying link ever been built had Sir John and his fellow-dreamers of a rosy future for this country, been surrounded and harassed by the Provincial Premiers of today’s blend, whose only contribution to the recent First Ministers Conference was the voicing of the individual woes and wants of their respective jurisdictions which served only to weaken, and perhaps destroy, that which the statement of 1867 had built and consolidated.Further, the enforced absence of native peoples and representatives from the territories at such a meeting of national importance actually STINKS.The picture of what our Provincial Premiers accomplished at the above mentioned conference reminds me of a huge pie.delicious in all respects, being attacked by ten hungry boys quarreling among themselves to see which one of them would have the biggest slice - at least one of them claiming •'special status” which would give him two slices, Truly, a sad picture.It seems to me that while the Dominion is rich in agricultural and mineral production that there is one crop which remains a failure, year after year and that is in the raising of politicians - politicians who would set aside comparatively small political and regional aspirations, and yet big enough to work like the politicians of 1867 to weave together using all their energy, patriotism and fervor to create a still greater Canada than was ever dreamed of by the Fathers of Confederation.Until this happens, we Canadians are in deep trouble.C.VV.McYETTY.Inverness me SCMSKHMeNr £ pem&wNeu tob&hg- C£ o/se TO 7MEW WAY OF THINK/M& TOIAUY B6FWHGP an?urT&tir

have the money to finish the year’, said Jamaica's opposition leader Edward Seaga recently.He is probably right.A joke current in Jamaica is that the country now has not only a national flower, a national bird and a national tree, but also a national gesture -the outstretched palm.The country is in desperate economic straits.Unemployment is over 30 per cent and rising, inflation is over 50 per cent and three-quarters of all foreign earnings go to pay for oil imports and debt service, So little is left to pay for other imports that shops frequently lack even basic goods like salt, sugar, flour and rice, while dozens of factories have shut down because they cannot get foreign exchange to import raw materials.Kingston is full of beggars, and the Jamaican government has been reduced to the same status And yet, there is some question as to whether all this is simply due to mismanagement by Prime Minister Michael Manley’s mildly socialist People's National Party (PNP).Manley’s non-aligned foreign policy, his role as outspoken champion of the world’s poor countries, and his determined pursuit of democratic socialism’ at home have annoyed many powerful institutions in the West.It is the Jamaican economy that has paid the price Jamaica's economic situation would be in difficulties now even if Manley had not been elected Prime Minister in 1972 Its oil import bill has increased tenfold in the past seven Gwynne Dyer years, while the prices of its main exports — sugar, bananas and bauxite — have stayed about the same.The country’s foreign debt has risen to $1.3 billion, which amounts to about one year’s income for every Jamaican.But Manley's political stance — and especially his determination to maintain friendly relations with Cuba, which has sent about 5,000 technicians and advisers to aid Jamaica's development — has unquestionably made matters much worse.Jamaica remains a genuine (if chaotic) democracy, and Manley has shown no inclination to turn it into a Cuban satellite But foreign investment, which was chiefly American, has virtually stopped Nor has the International Monetary Fund, the last-resort source of loans for crippled economies, been particularly generous to Jamaica.Even Seaga.whose Jamaican Labor Party (conservative despite its name) will probably win the election in August, indirectly admits that Jamaica is being punished by outsiders for Manley’s policies They have frightened away foreign in- vestors and encouraged the IMF to take a tough line, he says.‘Manley has highlighted a single aspect (non-alignment) of the country's foreign policy, and our relations with the West and the rest of the Caribbean have been damaged’.If Seaga wins the election, on the other hand, Jamaica will seek close links with the US and the Common Market, and aim to become a major offshore manufacturing centre through selling its cheap labour - what Seaga himself once called the Puerto Rico model' This is exactly what Manley was trying to get away from.He has some surprising supporters in his argument that the developing countries should be allowed to choose their own economic patterns without being automatically penalised by the big lending institutions of the West — people like West Germany’s ex-Chaneellor Willy Brandt and Britain's former Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath The point, says Manley, is that when developing countries' economies get out of balance, often for reasons beyond their control like changes in the world prices of what they export and import, the big Western lending agencies like the IMF try to enforce utterly unsuitable remedies.You can’t look back at any IMF programme in a developing country which has been a success’, he says The basic problem is that the IMF administers a form of economic medicine that is designed for a developed economy which is suffering temporary difficulties and so has huge unused productive capacity.Its I cure demands internal inflation to cut spending power, devaluation of the currency | and a sudden sharp drop in living standards.But then the unused capacity comes into play, exports soar, and in a year or so j everything is fine.In a poor country, there is very little unused production capacity that can be rapidly mobilized.The deliberately created inflation impoverishes everybody, the country’s foreign buying power drops, but there are no new exports to put matters right.The country just plunges deeper and deeper into debt — until finally the foreign lenders cut off its credit entirely.The IMF will be a source of complete disaster in the Third World unless it has a look at itself," said Manley.He is in a good position to know, since in late March the IMF cut off Jamaica's credit.He broke off negotiations to create a new arrangement when the IMF demanded further cuts in social services and the dismissal of 10,000 government workers, and called an election instead.But average real wages for Jamaica's 2 million people have dropped by almost half in the past few years, The growing frustration of leftist voters is draining off support from Manley's moderate PNP to the more radical.pro-Moscow Workers’ Party of Jamaica, thus splitting the socialist vote, while local business interests and foreign investors are solidly behind Seaga.The IMF if • Yt.V 'V *• v ¦ Vi*' *,V^; ’.s#* panmipacnon For Guaranteed Savings Sherbrooke

be rich \ Black bass is test of skill, equipment The black bass fishing and muskinonge fishing season is now open, as is fishing for Atlantic salmon.All species of game fish are now open season.Black bass is a fish which abounds in several Eastern Township lakes, and is very popular with fishermen, mainly because of its voracity and combative spirit.Once hooked, the black bass tests both your equipment and your skill.Our neighbours to the south find the black bass draws the largest number of fishermen.It is fished with live bait, such as worms, minnows, little frogs, and crayfish.It will also take an artificial lure, such as a spinning spoon of the Mepps variety, and a wabbling lure such as dare-devils, and artificial Rapalas.You can also capture it with a wet or dry fly.The flesh is delicious to eat, especially when it is filleted to eliminate the bones.The musky is another species which attracts a certain class of fisherman.The Department of Leisure, Fish and Game has added it to several water-courses in the Eastern Townships, but success to date has been disappointing except in Lake Joseph and Lake William in the Plessisville region, where it is pretty good.About 50 years ago the musky was plentiful in the Yamaska River, in the region of Adamsville, Majenta, and Farnham.Unfortunately, this river is now a regional sewer, and the most polluted water course in the province.Consequently, fishing has been totally destroyed in the Yamaska.Environment Minister Marcel Leger has been promising us for a while now to depollute it as a top priority.Now that he is no longer preoccupied with the referendum, we hope that he will concentrate his efforts in his department, and that the program of pollution abatement will begin very soon.The muskinonge fishing now is mainly in the St.Lawrence River at Lake St.Louis and Lake St.Francois, near Valleyfield, where the musky is abundant and where fishermen have the most success in catching it.Atlantic Salmon fishing has long been the sport for the wealthy but has become more democratic in the last few years.Still, it is a fairly expensive kind of fishing when you compare it to fishing other species.In addition to a $5.50 fishing permit, a daily permit, which varies in cost from $10 to $250 depending on the rivers or sections of rivers is required.If you add to this the cost of travel, lodging, and meals, it represents a substantial outlay.In spite of the cost, however, salmon fishing attracts more and more fishermen each year in the Gaspe, North Shore, and the rivers of New Quebec.For the majority of salmon rivers, the number of fishermen is limited, and thus reservations should be made early.For most rivers under the management of the Department of Leisure, Fish and Game, reservations are accepted from the beginning of January, which means the best fishing times are very quickly taken by those who speak early.It must be noted that only fly fishing is allowed for Atlantic salmon fishing, which excludes spincasting or bait casting, all those who cannot master a flyrod sufficiently to fool the salmon.At the end of the month I will have an opportunity to go salmon fishing for several days in the St.John River near Gaspe.It is the most renowned river of the whole Gaspe Peninsula.I hope that I will be lucky and have the opportunity to hook several salmon during this trip.SUGAR RAY LEONARD .showdown date with challenger Duran finally arrives.MONTREAL (CP) Win or lose, on the basis of a maximum 45 minutes work tonight.Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran will become
