optimistic despite triple whammy By CAROLE TREISER MANSONVILLE — Jean-Marc Plante doesn’t know when he’ll see his next paycheque, but he does know he and his family will survive.“ThereTl always be meat on the table.If I can’t bring it home from the store, I’ll bring it in from the woods," he says.Plante, a machinist who was laid off last week by the ailing Space Research Corporation where he worked off and on since 1962, is one of 1600 Potton Township residents who are weathering a storm of bad luck which struck the area last year.In the past month and a half, the area’s three major employers laid off some 400 workers.It is estimated they employed four-fifths of the township's workforce.Space Research Corporation, the munitions factory which lost most of its government contracts after news of its arms sales to South Africa hit the stands two years ago, closed its doors on the last of its 256 employees last week.The company, now in receivership, is taking stock of its assets to see if they surpass its liabilities.If they do, the company is expected to try and make a go of it again.If they don’t they'll most probably sell out to Canadian Arsenals Ltd., the Crown corporation which supplies the country’s armed forces with most of its ammunition.The other local industries, Potton Chemicals Ltd., a manufacturer of styrofoam beads and its sister company, Mansonville Plastics Ltd., a manufacturer of insulation and packaging materials, have so far jointly laid off 40 of their 80 employees.John Pendlebury, a spokesman for both companies, says workers won’t be called back until the construction industry picks up.Tourism, which inflates the town's population to six times its size during the winter and summer seasons, would normally offset the meager cuts businessmen will be getting from the workers' unemployment insurance cheques.But shopkeepers still haven’t recovered from last winter's ravages.The lack of snow attracted only half the skiers who normally frequent nearby Owl’s Head and Jay Peak.And although most residents feel Space, Potton and Plastics, as they call a -m GILLES GIROUX: There’ll still be money in circulation the big three, will get back on line within the next six months, they say they have no choice but to be optimistic."We re stuck here and we can t get out,’’ says the assistant secretary of the Municipality of Mansonville, Mrs.Phyllis Marcoux.Mansonville workers can’t look elsewhere for jobs because the recession has hit city dwellers who would buy their country homes."And even if the economy were to turn around, the provincial government has really boxed us in," says Marcoux.Last month, the government designated the entire township an agricultural zone.Residents say they can’t afford to sell their lots as farm acreage.Applications to exempt land from the zoning regulations can take more than a year to process.But despite their troubles, the townsfolk will get through the next few months without any drastic changes to their lifestyles.CECILE HAMELIN: It’s the young people “Money will still circulate in the town.Workers w ho would have spent a fortune on vacations will now spend what they have at home," says Gilles Giroux, owner of the local Ro-Na Hardware store.But grocery store owner Cecile Hamelin doesn't think there’ll be enough money around for young entrepreneurs to keep their businesses open."Fm not worried about my store because we’ve been around for 15 years, but the young people just starting out could lose their shirts.” Gilles D’Amour, manager of the local Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, says he won’t call up any loans until Space Research decides whether it can afford to reopen its gates."We're not worried," one resident who did not want to be identified said "The hard times hit the banks as well.They could foreclose the entire town if they wanted to.But who would buy it from them'.’” largest artificial lake in the Townships Increasing the flow will

.limpid, teeming waters By REAL HEBERT For the last few years the Yamaska river has been making the news quite frequently.No one is jealous of her notariety, since the Yamaska's fame is as the most polluted river in the province of Quebec, but at least she’s at the top of the list of rivers to be depollutcd sitting on Environment Minister Marcel Leger's desk.The Yamaska has changed quite a lot in the past 60 years It used to be known as one of the best fishing rivers in the province, in whose clear and limpid waters abounded muskellunge, walleyed pike, bass and many other species of fish.The best fishing spots were between Adamsville and Magenta, Brigham and Magenta and the Farnham area Today, the Yamaska is an open sewer The residents of Farnham can't even drink the water, boiled or not.The few suckers, perch and sunfish that have survived repeated fish kills dwindle in number as the river grows shallower and less capable of flushing itself out ! write these lines with quite a bit of nostalgia since I fished on the Yamaska from 1920 through 1950, some 30 years, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was a fisherman’s paradise that attracted fishermen from the Granby, Farnham and Cowansville, and also from the metropolitan region.Most of the people came by train and I remember when I was small, the trains arriving in Magenta and Brigham from Montreal.They would be full of fishermen down for the day to try their luck on the Yamaska, returning home late that night with a basket full of fish In those days I lived in Sweetsburg where my father owned a hotel right in front of the old court house.He also owned a saw-mill and a door and frame factory in Brigham on the banks of the Yamaska where the old dam is now.Incidentally it was my father who had the dam built in 1936 after the first log was brought down by the spring thaw.Therefore it was that part of the Yamaska that I fished the most and knew the best.When I was a teenager I used to bicycle often between Sweetsburg and Brigham The road wasn’t paved then and I had to pedal a lot harder on the gravel road.Because I was blinded by a cloud of dust and dirt from every passing car I don’t have to tell you that my first thought when I reached Brigham was to go for a swim just Two 30's stalwarts celebrate a modest catch by the standards of those days, another source of cheer parked beside them on the banks of the limpid Yamaska.beneath the dam to refresh me and to wash off all the road dust.Once refreshed, I was ready for a good day of fishing, my favorite spots being just below the dam on the way towards Farnham where I was always assured of a large catch of bass, using as bait crayfish or minnows that I caught there without any trouble.In those days fibreglass poles, monofilament and light spinning reels were all unknown, I had to use bait casting, a steel telescoping rod and rune pound test black cotton line.I remember one Sunday a friend and I worked our way down to Magenta, fishing all the way.Up to that point we had caught some bass but the catch See YAMASKA, Page 3.Iran expelled from T des H MONTREAL (CP) - Mayor Jean Drapeau has told an Iranian envoy

said, stipulates that the building cannot be used against Iran’s interests Publishers squirm as strike spreads By CHARLES LEVEQUE With the strike by two paperworkers unions now affecting seven companies in three provinces, newspaper publishers are beginning to fear they will run out of newsprint.“Newsprint supplies are lower than they have ever been,” said a spokesman for the Confederation of National Trade Unions.“At this time of year they’re selling it as fast as they make it; the companies just don’t have large stockpiles ’’ The CNTU is striking at plants operated by Abitibi-Price, Consolidated Bathurst.St-Raymond paper and CLP.Their strike has 5,590 members off the job and if there is no resolution by this weekend they expect 2000 more members to walk off the job at Kruger in Bromptonville and Quebec North shore “The main striking points with the companies are job security and an annexation formula.” the CNTU representative said The other striking union is the Canadian Paperworkers Union, whose strike is against only Abitibi-Price.“We are trying to make an example out of Abitibi They are the largest company in the world, they employ a significant representation of our ^nenrd»en^in(Mhey'vi^J>ii^^ buckets of money for the last few months,” commented a CPU spokesman, Neville Hamilton."The idea is, if we can get Abitibi to accept our demands than the other companies will be forced to follow suit." There are some 200 other paper producers.By this weekend the CPU expects to have closed 12 of Abitibi’s 13 mills in Quebec.Ontario and Newfoundland “We will then have 6,500 members off the job,” said Hamilton.The major points in negotiations with the company are that there are no negotiations going on.Company spokesman Charles Titemore says that there are no negotiations currently planned with the union The union is asking for a two-year contract with a $1 37 increase in the first year and an 11 per cent increase the second year with a minimum of $1 10.The company is offering them a three year contract at $1.30 the first year, a 6 per cent increase in January 1981 and a 4 5 per cent increase in October, 1981 to make a total of 10.5 per cent over the second year and finally an 8,5 per cent increase in the third year “Some people think that what we are asking and what we are being offered is about the same, they're wrong If you look at the wage end of the contract, sure, we aren't that far apart but they aren’t anywhere near what we are asking for in improvements in pensions and job security," Hamilton remarked "Besides, we don’t want a three-year contract, it isn’t good to plan that far ahead But if we have to we want a cost-of-living adjustment the third year and they refuse to offer it to us.” The strike's affect on newspapers has yet to be fully determined and it will depend on individual papers how badly they will be affected Sid Parvin, production manager at the Globe and Mail, said they had been having newsprint shortages even See PAPER, Page 3 O, uh.Canada LONDON (CP) The international press has been having fun writing about the July 1 ceremony on Parliament Hill when O Canada was sung for the first time as the official national anthem.In fact, editors on the world desk of Reuters news agency were so amused by Henry Giniger’s account published Thursday in the International Herald Tribune that photo copies of his story found their way to Canadian journalists working on Fleet Street.Above the story, four salutations were typed and each one crossed out in succession with a thin black line.“Dear fellow Canadian," read the first It was then crossed out and followed by “Dear Canadian ” The third address read “Fellow Canadian" and the final attempt read simply “Friend." TONGUE IN CHEEK The fourth salutation still seeming inappropriate, the frustrated editor then opted for the trusty heading “to whom it may concern,” followed by a note “For our harmony file." In his story Giniger pokes fun at what he describes as “a typically Canadian solution." When the Canadian choir engaged to sing the anthem divided finally into two groups to sing simultaneously the English and French versions “The result was confusing, particularly for those in the crowd who tried to sing in English but did not know the words, wrote Giniger. 2 FRI .JULY 4, 1980 #1__fol lœcora H.Gordon Green f Grits debate monarchy I see that our educationalists are arguing now about whether or not it’s worthwhile to teach grammar any more.I'd say that it depends upon what kind of writing we are going to consider literature If we are going to lavish Canada Council grants and Governor General’s Medals on authors who can find no use for periods, paragraphs or punctuation marks and who seem to think it equally old-fashioned to use verbs, then I see no reason why grammar should not follow I^atin into limbo.There was after all only one reason why we used to be taught that each sentence should contain a complete statement and that this sentence should have a capital letter at the beginning, a period at the end and a verb stuck somewhere in between Writing composed of units such as that could generally be understood, and in those unenlightened days we were of the opinion that the aim of writing was to communicate That isn’t necessarily so today.Pick up a short story or a bouquet of poetry that the critics have acclaimed and gathered into some avant-garde anthology and you feel as stupid after your third or fourth reading as you did the first time you tangled with it And if you protest, the critic is apt to give you the impression that great literature isn’t meant to be understood by the masses that the really gifted author writes for a select inner circle of the literary elite, and that the more difficult the piece, the smaller and more distinguished that circle gets.The ultimate, I suppose, will come when the author is talking to no one but himself.All of which reminds me somehow of the famous wambeazel bird which is alleged to fly with ever increasing velocity in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up its own alimentary canal.So popular is this modern cult of obscurity that we who have to teach writing have to contend continually with pupils who are determined to soar to the heights of unintelligible poetry before they know enough about language to compose an obituary.But picking up a recent copy of the Saturday Review I see that there are still eminent writers and editors who see the need for simple clarity, seems that Saturday Review had asked John Mersey the novelist to write a piece to commemorate the inauguration of Jimmy Carter, and when the piece was received at the Review it was decided that it wasn’t really what the occasion called for.And this irritated Mersey even though he was paid for his work and even though the Review intended to make use of the piece in a later issue.And here is where the real trouble began Mersey avows that he never understood that his essay was to be used in a latter issue.Norman Cousins, the venerable editor of the Review, hadn’t contacted Mersey personally about the matter but he thought that one of his other editors had explained this intent clearly enough.Tempers flared.The press got hold of the story and that didn't help the argument, and finally Mersey sent back his fee and demanded the return of his manuscript.In other words, two old friends came to an ugly parting of the ways, and all because of a lack of understanding.Cousins felt so badly about the affair that he made it the subject of an editorial, and it is the concluding thought of that editorial which I intend to write loud and clear on the blackboard next time 1 face my English class.Here it is: ".what seems to me to be the most unfortunate aspect of the entire affair is that both John llersey and 1 have been identified all our lives with the cause of world peace.Yet we ourselves had become enmeshed in flash reactions, violent words, and a public confrontation.Related to this line of thought is a melancholy fact that has become increasingly apparent to me over the years.The most difficult and precarious enterprise in the world is effective communication.It is the ultimate art.In this respect we all have a lot to learn." —_ -tel record George MacLaren.Publisher James Duff, Editor.A.J.Bayley, Advertising Manager Richard l.essard, Superintendent, Press and Camera.Debra Waite.Superintendent, Composing Room ClRCl’I.ATION DEPT.— r»«9-95:'8 569-95ZS 569-«:ll5 5H9-9525 .'>9-9931 5«9-99:tl {months $13.00 1 month $8.00 ti months -

from Page 1 was less than my usual I have to admit we did meet quite a few fishermen along the way and the day was sunny and hot, which might explain the bad catch.By the end of the afternoon we found a nice spot near Magenta and I threw my lure into a bank of water lilies to see it instantly swallowed by an enormous fish.I had to fight him for a long time while my friend went to get the farmer who owned the land we were on to help me get the monster out of the water.He came running with his pitchfork and we finally got the fish onto the ground.It was a 34-pound muskellunge.Not only was it the first time I had caught one but it was the first time I had ever seen one Needless to say I was thrilled.Until them, the only thing 1 had caught had been, bass, pike, trout, perch and catfish.Once I recovered from my ordeal I was faced with a serious problem.How would I get my catch from Magenta to Brigham along the shore and from Brigham to Sweetsburg on my bicycle?Luckily my friend gave me as much help as possible.Once home though, I found that my trophy's tail had been worn dow n by being dragged along the ground.Needless to say 1 didn't sleep much that night - every time 1 closed my eyes I was back fighting that muskie.Another type of fish that w’as readily available in the Yamaska and very popular with the population in Brigham was catfish, that everybody tried to catch from the top of the dam during the summer.Every Thursday night you could see all of the catfish fishermen on the dam with their long bamboo poles and their kerosene lamps Why Thursdays'’ Because in those days Friday was a lean day as no one w as allowed to eat meat, so they were all out trying to catch tomorrow's meal Some of these pwmlp often fished long into the night to catch enough to feed their families w ith enough left over to sell at the market at 25 cents a pound, skinned and boned .Another old pastime was taking little boat trips above the dam or swimming in the river, but since the Yamaska has become a regional sewer and has earned the title of most polluted river in Quebec i not a very respectable title w hen they tell me we are improving the quality of life' this too has passed into history You now understand w hy 1 talk w ith such emotion about a river that can't even supply clean drinking water for the people who live on its shores But 1 used to know it when its waters were limpid - and full There were plenty of fish in the Yamaska in 1938 and Real Youngsters once escaped from the summer heat in the clean Yamaska River, near Brigham.Hebert, centre, caught a few.W ETAA given new life with president's accord By CLAUDIA BOWERS SHERBROOKE Superior Court Judge George Savoie's ruling this week that the City of Sherbrooke must pay to replace the Eugene Lalonde Arena, destroyed by fire two summers ago, has given the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association a new lease on life.“The city w ill have to build a new arena now,” said ETAA President Carlo Fabi, commenting at a press conference last evening.' Through his decision on the interpretation of the contract between the city and us.Judge Savoie has made it quite clear on several points: That we have defin ite rights, the two most important being the question of responsibility of rebuilding the arena and the use of this fifty acres of land for as long as the ETAA exists.'’ Since the fire which levelled the Eugene Lalonde arena June 1,1978, the ETAA and the Sherbrooke Exposition have had to overcome TREASURE TROVE Record Perry Beaton A treasure trove, indeed.The chest of draw- sored by Maryanne Enterprises, opens to- ers in the foreground is valued at $25,000 night at Bishop's University with a wine and and many other pieces are worth close to cheese party and continues over the week- that.The Antique Exposition and sale, span- end.Paper shortage looms Continued from Page 1 before the strike hit.“Our supply is barely enough to cover us for five days.We would like to stock more but at $435 a tonne we don’t like to keep too much on the floor.If a company the size of Abitibi-Price starts to dry up we’re in trouble, we may have to seriously look at the size of the product we are putting out." Lionel Dalpe, assistant publisher of Sherbrooke’s La Tribune said “Papers are beginning to panic since no one knows quite what’s happening; we’ve been getting calls from all across the country to see if we can lend them some newsprint.We need all we have to keep our own production going if the strike lasts.” “Some papers are dangerously low, I heard that La Presse had only one or two days’ supply, and the Journal de Montreal has already announced it will begin to cut the number of pages.’ ’ The strike could have repercussions all the way into the states.The US papers carry an average of a 45-day supply but most of that has been bought from Canadian mills and they have no other suppliers to replace them.Many of the American publishers, fearing that the strike was near, continued to buy newsprint at high levels, even though their need for paper dwindled as classified and retail advertising started slackening in April.Dow Jones and Co.which publishes the Wall Street Journal, is reported to be studying options to conserve newsprint if the strike were to develop into a lengthy one.Even The New York Times reported that even they are working on contingency plans that would allow them to cut back the size of their edition to keep publishing __ Canoeists discover body RICHMOND (CL) — The body of a young man in an advanced state of decomposition was found lying on a rock on the shores of the St.Francis river a few miles away from Richmond The body was discovered by three men who were going down the river in a canoe yesterday.They called the QPF detachment in Richmond but asked not to have their identities revealed.As yet no identification has been made but police suspect the man had been in the water since early spring.The body will be sent to the Medico-legal Institute in Montreal for an autopsy.almost impossible difficul ties because of the loss of space for over five-hundred head of livestock as well as space lor offices and rec ords.“Now, exhibitors will have something to look forward to,” said vice-president War ren Ross.“Knowing that we hope to have a new arena built by 1981 will give this year’s fair a brand new lease on life, and as a matter of fact, Judge Savoie’s deci sion is a kind of guarantee ol the future of the ETAA and Sherbrooke Expo,” he added “We must have the new arena by 1981," Fabi said.According to the president, the city has the right to ap peal, and has a delay of 30 days to do so, “but I feel that the decision is so precise it would be an exercise in fu tility on their part," he said."If, however, they do decide to lodge an appeal, this could delay the construction of any new facility for several months," Fabi added There is still no indication what course the city will take.SESMCE BifWQRZMTlIlUE r WALK IN HOUR TO SiRVICI Computerized Bookkeeping Data Storage & Retrieval Mailing Lists & Labels D.B.LYON B.B.A.684 VICTORIA SHERBROOKE PROGRAM DESIGN CONSULTANT J1H 3J5 DIVISION OF R.R.R.’819-566-8111 CHECK THE For All Your Needs La Quotidienne WINNING NUMBER 6-1-5 Townships projects receive grants SHERBROOKE (CL) — Certain projects in the Townships will be receiving government grants from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs that will total some $330,106.Among the projects being sponsored will be work on several of the parks and streets in and around Sherbrooke there will also be work on the roads and parks in Fleurimont.Ascot Corner, Compton Village and Ascot County.A FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE MUSIQUL D OR FORD 1980 juTnssawippt theIhut Army, Navy A Airforce Unit 318 DANCE Saturday July 5th SUNDOWN COUNTRY Mambars 4 Guests Welcome JkM Saint-Patrice Church, Magog, 8:30 p.m.L’ORCHESTRE SYMPHONIQUE Dfc MONTREAL CHARLES DUTOIT, conductor Henri BRASSARD, pianist BEETHOVEN: Concerto no 1 in C, opus 15 Symphony no 2 in D, opus 36 Satortfay.Jaly $ Abhaye Saint-Benolt-du-Lac, 4;00p.m, FRANÇOISE PETIT, harpsichord Couperin - Duphiy Gilles-LefebvreConcert Hall,8:30p.m.PRIMAVERA STRING QUARTET Mozart - Tchaikovsky Ihanda), July 10 Ciilles-Leftbvre Concert Hall, 8:30 p.m.RAOUL SOSA,piano — cancelled — CENT R F DARTS DOR FORD JVU Autoroute des Cantons de f F.st sortie 118 Information et réservations: (819)841.1981, .h*,, (514)861 02KW».*, Ripplecove Inn OUR LOBSTER NIGHT IS BACK!

If you are lucky enough to have no financial worries you can curl up with How to be Your Own Sex Therapist.Certainly money - or lack of it - and sex are the trend.Two at the top of the bestseller list at the moment are Gay Talese’s book Thy Neighbour’s Wife (how American sexuality has changed our times) and Men in Love by Nancy Friday (men’s fantasies about women and sex).Quite a few books detail terminal illness.Lm certain they are therapeutic for the author but I'm not sure the books are worth $14.95.1 can’t believe that money, sex, violence and death are a complete picture of our times.When my children were at university, Hemingway, Fitzgerald and O’Hara were read, enjoyed and discussed.These authors did indeed mirror their times, as Charles Dickens and the Bronte sisters did before them In A Tale of Two Cities, who can forget the noble Sidney Carton or the infamous Madame Defarge knitting while heads rolled9 Through this book we lived the French Revolution.I was able to understand some of the tragedy of the Depression after reading John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, Post-First World War Europe came alive for me after reading Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, and I have reread Fit-zgerald s The Great Gatsby countless times.I can't think of one single book written in the last 10 years that I would even consider rereading Nowadays, big business has taken over the North American book industry.Millions of dollars habe been spent promoting Judith Krantz’s book Princess Daisy.It must have paid off.This perfectly awful book is now number two on the list.Some say television has replaced books, both as entertainment and as a record of how we live.This is utter nonsense and dangerous thinking.Try telling the millions of people locked into city ghettos that One Day at a Time or The Jeffersons mirror their lives.I have nothing against escapism in any form.In fact it may be necessary in these troubled times.However, I am worried that future generations will have no true record of our way of life, the good, the bad our fears and our hopes and a great deal of unsinkable optimism.I close with a quote I cam across the other day which sums up many of the current best-sellers ; "The books that are talked about can be talked about just as well without being read ” Letters A few facts about mary jane Dear Sir.In the light of possible decriminalization of marijuana, 1 would like to mention a few facts about the drug, out of a book which I got from the Myrin Institute for Adult Education, and while the LeDain commission findings don’t go so far (since they haven’t done such elaborate studies) they don’t deny these facts.To quote from the book; THC, the principal ingredi-ent in marijuana, tends to accumulate in the brain and gonads and other fatty (issues in the same manner as D.D.T.Marihuana even when used in moderate amounts, causes damage to the entire cellular process.There is a growing body of evidence that marijuana inflicts irreversible damage on the brain A growing body of evidence that marijuana adversely affects the reproduc- tive process in a number ol ways, and that it poses a serious danger oi genetic damage or even genetic mutation.All this in addition to the fact that it affects the lungs, etc., to a greater degree than tobacco smoke.LeDain, while mentioning some of these possibilities says they have not been proven by long term tests in Canada, (there have been no long term tests in Cana- da » or where damage has occurred, that other factors may have been involved.A criminal on trial, is considered innocent until proven guilty but dare we take the same stand with a drug?I think thousands of Thalidomide children and their parents will agree with me that we should not.A few other points to consider.If marijuana is taken from under the narcotics dept, and put under food and drug it will be the control of police, less experienced in dealing with the big drug rings.If simple possession is no longer a criminal offense, how will the police be able to exercise any control over it, since that will make it almost impossible to catch the dealers.If it will be legalized for sale in government controlled outlets it will cost millions to regulate the strength, since the T.H.C.content varies not only by the climate it grows in, but also from plant to plant.If marijuana were to be legalized it would open the door to the legalization of a host of other drugs too.This is before parliament, let us speak out against it quickly before it is turned loose upon us.D.M.CLOUSTON, Sherbrooke Environment Minister Marcel Leger has befouled himself over two Townships dossiers, now, and we’re wondering when — or even it he’ll manage to clean up the mess.The worst is the Yamaska River.Whatever the minister may say on his own behalf, the river is undrinkable, at least at the Farnham water intake.In the past, Quebec has funded water transport systems in communities where water purity posed a health hazard.Farnham is experiencing just such a problem, and while Mr.Leger’s department may not be the source of emergency funding, his declaration of an emergency situation will clear the w ay for help.The second is Mount Orford.Again, the impetus for its ultimate protection cannot come from the Environment Ministry.But Mr.Leger’s department can get the ball rolling by demanding an environmental impact study.The present government had a clean slate when it came into power.In fact, one of the key Parti Québécois aims was to clean up the province and protect what few green-spaces had escaped development in the south.Slow ly but surely, it has blotted out what good it accomplished with sloth, inaction and doubletalk.JAMES 1)1 EE Sir; John McCaghey in 'Commentary' on your editorial page of June 20, 1980, laudably calls for cooperation between parents, students and (by inference) school boards, to ensure that our children become bilingual.He also takes side in a local dispute.Since he employs the editorial “we”, one concludes that he speaks for The Record.If such is the case, his undocumented ex cathedra pronouncements are unbecoming to a responsible newspaper and I challenge The Record to substantiate them.I quote from The Record: “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." (emphasis mine) I ask The Record: DBRSB immersion: Mr.Timmins responds — Why is the criticism undue?— What constitutes “privileged information” in a school board?(The Education Act, Chapter 235 Article 348 says “.all the registers or documents in the archives of the school board, shall be open for inspection and examination by any interested party, or his agents, during office hours.”) How is Mr.Timmins ’’perhaps” using such “privileged information" “to further his own ends "?What are these ends and why should they be painted as some sinister activity?His “ends" seem to coincide with those of 5,500 Town-shippers, identified in The Record of June 13, 1980, stating “.the present level of French instruction in our schools has been too often inadequate to prepare students for life in Quebec.” (emphasis.again, mine) Quote: “we dispute the statistics quoted in his (Mr.Timmins) rebuttal to Mrs.Wilma Schmeler in the June 17 issue of The Record.There was an obvious inclusion of parents whose children are predicated (sic) to the French school system ” I ask The Record: On what grounds do you dispute these statistics?How is a child “predicated” to a system?Quote: “The board (DBRSB) is aware of the problem and has sought ways to improve second-language teaching within the various restraints imposed by the Ministry of Education ’’ 1 ask The Record: — To quality this encomium and state what, in fact, has been done by the DBRSB in its search to improve "second-language teaching” within its jurisdiction.Mr McCaghey is entitled to his ma underings between Lebanon and the Saguenay but your readers deserve a more objective accounting of local issues.Having taken a public position on a highly disputable matter, I trust The Record will justify its contentions by responding, at least, to my six questions.JOHN CHAPMAN Editor’s note: Since Mr.McCaghey’s statements were published as commentary, and since we make the commentary space available to anyone in our community with a point of view he or she would care to express, we see no reason why we should respond to Mr.Timmins' points.Mr.McCaghey’s status as a stringer for The Record had no bearing on our decision to run his comments, nor does he necessarily represent the policy of this newspaper.Broadly speaking, we hold the view that if any reasonable number of parents seek French-language immersion classes for their children, they should be accommodated, even if it poses some difficulty for the local school board.Both the Record publisher and editor have written to this effect several times.Lack of co-operation hurting NATO IS ®3Û#>/ we mst wMtXAWNb-n me Olympic shmm roe two wears— WASHINGTON President Carter’s deliberations with his Western allies have demonstrated one thing: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is in serious trouble.What is not generally realized is that NATO's difficulties extend to the very heart of the alliance - the military muscle needed to make the organization credible The reason is the same that led to the disarray over Iran and Afghanistan - self-interest over self-sacrifice for the common good.For years, a major goal of NATO has been the standardization of weapons used by the treaty allies.The advantages of such uniformity are obvious, but standardization will probably never be achieved The United States, which supplies about 90 percent of NATO’s arms, is ahead of its allies in most weapons production But the European governments, under heavy pressure from their own munitions industries, are continually trying to whittle away at U S dominance Here are some examples of ronfu-sion and lack of cooperation that threaten to turn NATO into the Clang That Couldn't Shoot Straight: - Radios used by the different NATO member armies don’t operate on Ihe same frequencies Gas pumps of one country don’t always fit the gas tanks of another country’s vehicles To encourage standardization, Jack Anderson the United States buys weapons irom the European allies that are lower in quality and higher in price than American arms "The motivating factor for the European countries is economic," one Capitol Hill source told my associate Peter Grant "What the motivating factor is for the U S is beyond me," - The Army is spending $2 billion to equip its new XM-1 tanks with German 120-tnillimeter guns, though a House investigation found that the U S -made 105mm cannon now on the tank can penetrate the armor of any Soviet tank Meanwhile, the Germans have reneged on the quid pro quo purchase of US.turbine engines for their Leopard Links - Despite warnings that it would prove costlier than available alterna tives.the Army bought German-made Roland ground-to-air missiles.The cost escalated from $942 million to $2.3 billion, so the Army had to cut its order in half The Pentagon wants to buy the French-made Atlis laser-guided bomb system, which works only in daylight, though the Air Force is developing a similar system that works in darkness as well.- It’s not all one way.The U.S.-made Sparrow air-to-air missile has a pitiful performance record The British modified it into the Skyflash, which has tested brilliantly.But the Navy and Air Force won’t touch the British missile.WATERGATE AUTHORS - Of the two dozen books written about Watergate, the most successful was "The Final Days," written by the Washington Post's hotshot reporting

obtain MAXIMUM INTER ESI on your money Call us tor current rates é Crown Trust Central Building :$t King St West.Sherbrooke — iSH Sltti Other otCkes across Canada By KATHARINE SNOW A few weeks ago.my husband had occasion to go to Ayer’s Cliff.I went along for the ride and once there, settled comfortably in the car with my library book while he went off to conduct his business Before starting to read, I glanced casually out at the main street 1 was totally unprepared for the sudden, overwhelming sense of nostalgia that swept over me There is nothing unusual at all about the street It appears as do all main thoroughfares in small towns, untidy, commercialized and quite ordinary, but what memories it brought back to me.Our car was parked in front of the bank.Just opposite to me was a rather drab, business-like establishment called Quincaillerie Guy Eng.As I stared across the road, I know that I saw Mr.Arthur Slack at the window of his emporium, his black, curly hair parted in the exact middle of his head, the sleeves of his striped shirt puffed up over shiny arm-bands.I withdrew my gaze slowly, past the next door which had once led to the Post Office and let it rest on the adjacent building.Did I see the pleasant, colorful offices of Marcoux Immeubles?I saw only the old butcher shop wherein Mr Martin, hat on, apron stained, fingers missing on one hand, bustled about furiously.I got out of the car and walked slowly down the street.There wras a large IGA store and a restaurant with “License Complete” but through my suddenly young eyes, I saw only Tom Hunter's never-to-be-forgotten store with the icecream parlor in the rear, and Lysle Thompson's grocery.A trim, modern telephone booth had the effrontery to stand at the very doorway through which Janet and I had climbed to the magic world of long-distance communication.Memories once released flooded back.I thought of the weekly trips to change our books at the local library.Mrs.Bailey was the librarian and the library was located in her home.When we were 10 years old, we thought Mrs.Bailey was at least 100 but in retrospect, I realize that she was probably only half of that.She was a small woman and interested in everything we read.She would squeak and fuss endlessly over us, telling us stories of Ayer’s Cliff but we giggled and paid no attention.It is only now after so many years that I remember how she would tell me about my grandfather’s being Ayer’s Cliff’s first mayor and how he had been instrumental in having the sidewalks laid down on the main street.Intrigued, I went over to the Town Hall in the town last week to look at old records.Sure enough, the very first mayor elected on February 27, 1909, at the formation and first meeting of a Town Council was Charles W Vaughan.The first Secretary-Treasurer was L.D.Clough, who held that position for the next 40 years.The council also included Albert E.Fish, Aaron G Clough, Doctor C.L.Brown, Gordon M.Rexford, W.E Learned and John Hibbard The discovery of these facts so interested me that I delved a little more deeply into past history.I found that the first white man to settle in the area was one Joseph Fish in the year 1795 and that most of the early settlers had come from Vermont and New Hampshire.Many descendants of these pioneers are still residents of Ayer's Cliff Rita Whipple, who was so charming and so helpful to me at the town office, is a great granddaughter of L D.Clough, the original secretary-treasurer The community was known at first as Langmaid's Flat due to the fact that a Mr Langmaid had had the foresight and vigor to build a stagecoach house at the settlement about the year 1815 The land about was so flat that he simply put his own name to the existing terrain.AYER S FLAT FOUNDED Carlton Ayer purchased the Langmaid Hotel in 1836.He opened a Post Office in the Hotel on July 1, 1864 and became its first post master Ayer was responsible for bringing the railway to the settlement which he eventually called Ayer's Flat.Yesteryears between Ayer's Flat and North Hatley The first one, a pleasure craft called The Pride of the Valley was a flat-bottomed side-wheeler about 90 feel long Moonlight excursions on the boat, with Turcotte's orchestra in attendance were very popular, but came to an abrupt end in 1897 when the management of the steam boat changed An announcement in The

The statement concluded with the fact that no more liquor w ould be sold aboard the boat and that “a sober and orderly crew will be in charge at all times “ The first school in Langmaid's Flat was built in 1840.It stood across the railway tracks about where the present Post Office is The first school teacher was Miss A Shurtleff Subsequently, as the populace grew, larger schools were provided It is of passing interest that in 1932 the Ayer’s Cliff High School hockey team won the Provincial Championship TELEPHONES ARRIVE The telephone came to Ayer’s Flat in 1886, only 10 years after the first long distance call in the world had been made between Brantford and Paris, in Ontario.The first subscribers in the village were Charles Wheeler’s store, H.G.Ayer’s Hotel and L A Sternes Company of Sternesville, one mile distant Oxen, horses, buckboards and sleighs provided early transportation for the settlers.In the winters, the snow roller was responsible for keeping the roads passable.Packed hard by the roller, the snow froze, making a smooth surface for the sleigh.Even in the early days, this settlement had a definite conscience, and before long a movement was afoot to establish some form of community worship.One of the settlers, a man from Massachusetts, claimed to be a preacher of the Congregational Church and volunteered his services.He The Ayer's Cliff High School hockey team won the provincial championship in 1932.They defeated a team from Aylmer, Quebec at the Montreal Forum.was dicharged after only two sermons, when it was discovered that he was desecrating the holy sabbath and corrupting the youth of the village by taking them fishing on Sunday afternoons.This same gentleman figured more prominently in the fall of 1802 when a smallpox epidemic struck the settlements of Langmaid's Flat, Hatley, Massawippi and Stanstead He came forward at that disaster announcing thal he was also a student of medicine.A written account of the period would indicate that he fared better in the department of medicine than he had in that of theology Only three deaths occurred in the entire area, be it due to him or not.ar This man and his colleagues owned most of the lakeshore property and realizing the potential of such land, they mounted a campaign to attract Americans from Boston and New York to the area.When their efforts met with no success whatever, these enterprising men looked for a reason.They discovered that, to a Bostonian, the term “flat” implied swamp or marshland and they wanted no part of it.Promptly about 1904, the ingenious salesmen changed the name to Ayer's Cliff and flooded the Americans with post cards showing a small inset of Lake Massawippi against a backdrop of what looks suspiciously like the Canadian Rockies.Their quick-wittedness was rewarded, for the sale of lakeshore property boomed and Ayer’s Cliff as a summer resort was born In the mid 1800's steam boats did a thriving business on the Lake travelling Main Street, Ayer's Cliff, before 1907.a few things have changed.w W-:-W-V_A Authorized agent MARC GRENIER R.R.5, Sherbrooke, Que.J1H 5H3 Is now exclusive distributor for g c B -r i mi E R N R Pi D LJ I L O I KJ C3 In the regions of Sherbrooke, .Magog, Windsor, Richmond, Ç Coaticook, East Angus, Stanstead, etc.^Delivery in 4 weeks Bernaid s steel stiuclures ere designed to national code end essures meilmum economy end security Available heights 10 .12 , 14 16 , 18 .20 .22', 24 26 .28 Available width 40', SO .60 , 70 , 80 , 90 , 100 110’.120 , 130 c CAHIIKS Construction supervision available Profit from our introduction specials In effect til July 25 Example Building 40' x 60' x 14' in height c ESTIMATOR A manufacturing company based in Sherbrooke requires a bilingual estimator with experience in stainless steel piping and custom work in carbon steel and stainless steel.The candidate must be able to make estimates of material and labor from assembly, detail and esometric drawing.Please forward your curriculum vitae confidentially to: P.O.Box 70, 50 Couture SL, Sherbrooke, Que, J1HSH5.$11,500 v ui man mis lonowing ucxei.wswam»*—bw in< m«ui ttmi n .„ „„ „ „„, * c«w*« »*•» »!

to be called The Ayer’s Flat Union Meeting House and, although it was to lie used for all services, one man, Jonathan Shurtleff, an ardent Congregationalist leaned strongly towards making it a

pot and booze and have slept around some.I know the score.This afternoon I heard something on the radio that made a terrific impression on me.It was on CBS.I sure hope you can get that girl’s message and print it in your column.It was a girl who was speaking Her message hit me like a ton of cement The girl’s name was Patty Flannery, and she was not acting.It was her own life she was talking about Please, Ann, try.It got to me like nothing else ever has, and I am sure it changed mylife.Don’t use my real name, just sign me — A Whole New Person In Long Island.Dear New You : I tracked down the CBS radio transcript and agree it is well worth printing.It will appear in my column on July Fourth - a day when millions of people will be out celebrating.Here it is: “I am Patty Flannery, and at 19 I have seen more and done more than most people at 60.I had made the drugs and drinking scene by the time I was 17.Then came that fateful Labor Day - Sept, 4.1977.I became a holiday statistic people read about.My accident was right out of one of those crazy, wild, movie chase scenes."A group of us had been partying on drugs and wine just before 1 hopped on the back of my friend’s motorcycle.We were going 70 miles an hour in a 30-mile zone when I joined hands with my sister w'ho was alongside me on another cycle We dropped hands just as we approached a curve, I was thrown 85 feet.I was luckier than my friend.He will never walk again.The doctors say I have a 50-50 chance to someday stand and walk with braces.Two years is a long time to spend in a wheelchair, especially when you are a teenager.Now 1 have a lifetime to regret my foolishness.There is no dumber combination than drugs, wine and motorcycles Don’t let it happen to you.” Dear Ann Landers: Those letters you printed from people who swore their dogs and cats could talk led to a fascinating conversation with some guests in our home last evening.“Mrs.Jones” said they once had a Scotch terrier who took on the personality characteristics of her husband When Mr.J had an ulcer attack or a migraine headache, the Scottie “MacTavish” became morose and wouldn't eat a thing.The day Mr.J.was taken to the hospital, MacTavish cried by the door for hours.He ate so little while his master was away they had to take him to the vet's for special care When Mr.J.returned, feeling much better, the dog perked right up and was his old frisky self again My husband and I think people who own pets have a great imagination when it comes to their beloved animals.What do you think?— No Name.Please.Dear N.N .I*.: 1 believe the story.It is not uncommon for animals to be sympathetic to the moods of their masters.I’ll bet many people in my reading audience could tell us similar stories along these lines - all true.f’-1 Health

having people bring me all the in formation from the town.” Miller says she always did her best to be accurate and to please everybody.“It wasn’t always easy, but I really enjoyed it,” she added.“I feel the correspondent’s job is important, I know about people in Florida who kept up with the Sutton news by reading The Record.” The only thing Miller feels she would have liked to be able to do is to go out and get the news.“I wasn’t as mobile as I would have liked, I didn’t have a car and people had to bring things to me.The one thing I couldn’t get were meetings from the council or the Legion, I didn’t ask them for too much but they didn’t ever help me.” “I think The Record is doing a good job, and I’ll keep thinking that as long as I keep getting my crossword puzzles.” Muriel

lose about seven pjOunds and then stop I’ve also been trying to flatten my stomach and reduce my waistline which has about three to four inches of bulge abound it.I have about two inches of fat located in the rpiddle part of my back.It’s very uncomfortable and causes me to slouch., I’d like to know your advice on Jlattening the stomach and reducing my waistline, my weight problems and preventing slouching of the back.Also, can too much weight càüse a person to have prob-k'itis in their lower back?DEAR READER I hate ti> lell you this but it doesn’t matter what kind of exercises you use, you cannot really deduce the waistline significantly unless you get rid of excess fat.That two-inch hlitge around the back can’t be eliminated by simply toning up muscles.Por that reason I'd suggest you start a walking program and develop the capacity to walk a great deal each day I’m talking about three or four miles at a minimum This you'll have to do gradually Then make an effort to increase your physical activity in any other way that fits in with your life style Using exercise to help you lose weight is going to* be slow, so you might as well think of it in terms of a yearlong project At the same time you can reduce your calories a sensible amount to try to help you in the process Yes.you can have lower back problems because of being overweight.A large, pendulous abdomen is a significant factor.Poor abdominal muscle tone also contributes to this difficulty.Some exercises that you use to strengthen your abdomen are lor your back.I’m sending you The Health Letter number 13-10, Backache and What to Do about It.Other readers who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it.Send your request to me, in care of this newspaper.P.O.Box 1551.Radio City Station, New York, NY 10019.Poor posture is often a habit and it’s sometimes a symptom of weak trunk muscles The back exercises which I suggested in The Health Letter I'm sending you will help you some in this regard To keep your shoulders from rounding forward and slouching, you may need to do exercises that strengthen the muscle between the shoulder blades.The proper movement for this is the rotation of the arms backward like a back stroke for swimming If there is a local health club facility available to you, you might want to use some of their weight devices to help work those muscles a little harder so they'll be stronger and help you keep your shoulders back Andre Leclair, son of Mr.and Mrs.Roch Leclair of Maricourt, was united in marriage to

man.love.As the birthstone tor July, ruby symbolizes freedom, charity, dignity and divine power Its name is derived from the Latin ruber' .meaning red.The so-called and one may say indefinable “Pigeon s blood a red inclining to purple, is the prized color ot the most precious rubies Ruby, together with sapphire, is a member ot the mineral family called corundum.I! is crystalled alumina with remarkable qualities ot hardness, density and refraction, These characteristics are only exceeded by those of the diamond.But ruby has often been claimed to be the most precious of all gemstones.This high esteem placed on ruby is further indicated by the name applied to ruby in Sanskrit: 'ratnanayaka” which may be translated as King ot Precious Stones.Ruby owes its beautiful red color to an addition of chromium oxide which infiltrated the crystalline network of alumina thousands ot years ago.Chromium is a rather rare element in the earth's crust; this explains why rubies are scarce and expensive.For the origin ot the stone involved the chance meeting of chromium oxide from deep within the earth with the alumina in the process ot crystallization.There is no doubt that the lines! rubies are found in Mogok, Burma.Other deposits are located in Thailand.Cambodia, Ceylon, Tanzania, Afghanistan and North Carolina (U S.A.).The inclusions tell us a lot about the origin of rubies.It is difficult to ignore them, for flawless rubies are extremely rare.As opposed to diamond, where the best quality stones are relatively flawless, the inclusions present in rubies and other gemstones are seen as a sign of their authenticity.SÏ inner &T I tn/run .Vnc.Jewellers 82 Wellington No.King Shopping Center SHERBROOKE 398 Main W.- MAGOG NEWFOUNDLAND TRIP July 12th to 25th, 1980 A Trip To

envelope it has printed "Printer's Copy Only”.In the upper right corner is an unused 1928 stamp with a face value of one cent.Bottom left is printed NEWS RUSH.These envelopes were furnished to people who sent in news to the Daily Record at that time and it cost the paper one cent to have this forwarded to them.Someone in our family must have sent news to the Daily Record at that time.Things like this are worth collecting.The Record recently decided to change its name from the Sherbrooke Daily Record but it was once called Daily Record.July 1 is now past There was to be a big July 1 celebration inCoaticook back in 1904 Bands were from all over the place, ball teams from Berlin.N .H a big parade, and horse races had purses of up to $200 An English poster has been found from the event.If anyone w anted fo borrow it for next year’s July 1 celebration or to show in a museum, arrangements could be made.+ + + A long while ago, I sold three covers to a doctor from Sherbrooke for $1.each.They bore the family name and were posted in Moe’s River, near Compton.I bought them back a couple of years ago from a dealer for $55.- quite a jump in price from 1948 to 1978.-F T T The British post office had strike last year, and to date have not caught up properly with their orders.There is no use sending back torn or damaged stamps for replacement - they never answer.Now they are having trouble with an issue to be released in June.The printers are on strike, so they hope to have it released in July.+ + + Those with standing orders for the stamps of the Isle of Man received their scarce different perforations.One which was sent with three others for $1.65 now is quoted at almost that much for only one.+ + + No sign of coins from the mint this week.The present stock of 1980 coins from the mint is down to two proof-like sets and one silver dollar in a case.The silver dollar is very expensive this year and the mint will not drop their price even though silver has gone down The banks are not too helpful in getting the new 1980 coins for Canadians.The big dealers are offering them but smaller operations cannot get a reasonable supply.+ + + If you want any questions answered please send a self-addressed envelope with your request and I will be pleased to answer.Phone 849-4958 or write P.O.Box 83, Dixville, Que., JOB 1P0 He* IN SHERBROOKE — — CRANE modern show

Gilles Néron said in an interview published Thursday.A brain scan showed the left side of the fighter's brain had swollen to the point where the growing tissue had displaced his brain stem 1.5 centimetres to the right, Farr said.Expos bow to Mets 7-2 NEW YORK tAP) - Lee Mazzilli’s three-run homer capped a five-run second inning, and Claudeil Washington tripled in two seventh-inning runs to lift New York Mets to a 7-2 victory over Montreal Expos in a National League baseball game Thursday night.Tom Hausman, 4-2, the second of three New York pitchers, was the winner after replacing starter Ray Burris in the third inning.Burris injured his right thumb while fouling off a bunt in the second.Rookie Charlie Lea, 2-3, allowed the five Mets runs in the second.Four of the runs were unearned after a fielding error by shortstop Chris Speier.Lea walked Mike Jorgensen w-ith one out in the second, then Speier booted Steve Henderson's potential double-play grounder.Alex Trevino followed with a that sent run-batted-in single scored Jorgenson and Henderson to third.Doug Flynn's infield single scored Henderson, and with two out Mazzilli drove a pitch over the right-field fence for his fifth home run and fourth in the last seventh games Canoes are still one of the best modes of transportation in the backwoods.Canoes crucial in backwoods An outdoor activity becoming very popular with nature lovers is canoeing.Canoeing, like snowshoeing, is an American Indian invention, the canoe being the sole means of transport.The first whites to arrive in America were not slow to adopt the new method of transport.Thus the canoe plays an important role in the beginnings of the colony.To the explorers it was indispensable just as it was to the coureurs de bois, the fur merchants, (the fur industry being the very first industry of the country) and the missionaries.Today the canoe still plays an indispensable part in the backwoods, but it’s especially in the sporting world it is used by lovers of the outdoor life.Fishermen who fish rivers, pools and remote lakes where one must portage to reach, use canvas, which is light to carry on the shoulders.It’s also used by adventurous souls to penetrate to the heart of the wilderness through small streams where only the canoe can penetrate.Sensation-seekers use it to make difficult river descents.Others seek solitude and tranquility and use the canoe for excursions.The Department of Leisure, Fish and Game is aware of this phenomenon and offers enthusiasts several canoe trips inside provincial parks and even in certain other parks where one can rent canoes.The majority of these open air centres have canoeing as a main activity where the young and the not-so-young have the opportunity to learn canoeing technique under the direction of the qualified teachers, who show them how to master their canoe in the most difficult of places, such as river rapids.It’s also an excellent exercise to keep in good physical condition, while it is still quite economical if you divide the cost of a canoe by the number of years you will use it.Then the costs are minimal.Scoreboard Outdoors BY REAL HEBERT / NATIONAL LEAGUE East W L Pet.GBL Montreal 40 32 .556 — Philadelphia 40 33 548 Vi Pittsburgh 40 35 .533 IVa New York 36 38 486 5 Chicago 31 41 .431 » St.Louis 32 45 .416 lOVi Wait Houston 44 30 .595 — Los Angeles 44 33 .571 IVa Cincinnati 38 37 .507 6Va San Francisco 36 41 .4*8 ?Va Atlanta 34 40 459 10 San Diego 34 44 436 12 Thursday Results Los Angeles 5 San Diego 4 San Francisco 4 Cincinnati 3 Pittsburgh 5 Chicago 3 Philadelphia 2 1 St.Louis 1-1 Houston S Atlanta 3 New York 7 Montreal 2 Today's Games Philadelphia at St Louis Chicago at Pittsburgh 2 Montreal at New York 2N San Diego at Atlanta N Houston at Cincinnati N San Francisco at Los Angeles N Saturday Games Houston at Cincinnati 2N Chicago at Pittsburgh N Montreal at New York N San Diego at Atlanta N Philadelphia at St.Louis N San Francisco at Los Angeles N AMERICAN LEAGUE East W L Pet.GBL New York 49 26 653 — Milwaukee 42 32 568 *'/S Detroit 40 32 556 7Vi Baltimore 41 34 .547 8 Boston 39 35 527 9 VS Cleveland 36 37 493 12 Toronto 32 West 41 438 16 Kansas City 45 32 584 Chicago 36 39 .480 8 Texas 36 40 474 IV» Oakland 34 43 442 11 Seattle 34 43 442 11 Minnesota 33 43 434 11V, California 27 47 365 16 V, Thursday Results Retord Perry Bee Ion The family of Cleveland Denny will discon- was injured in a bout in Montreal June 20.nect life-support systems today.The boxer Al's passing comes of age MONTREAL (CP) - Joe Scarmella has more reason than ever to make good on his plan to give his Montreal Alouettes a credible passing attack.First came the retirement of import running back John O'Leary due of a severe neck injury, and then the self-imposed exile of David Green, last year's top ground-gainer and Schenley Award winner who is embroiled in a contract dispute.But two months ago, long before the O’Leary-Green setbacks, head coach Scannella announced plans to have his quarterbacks throw more often this season “We’re not going to change anything because David Green isn’t in the backfield and John O’Leary is injured,” Scannella said when the team went to training camp in Victoria ville, Que.“We came to camp intent on passing more this year, and that's what we’ll do, regardless of what hap pens.” With a 22-13-2 record for a .622 winning percentage in regular-season and playoff action, Scannella has put his skill as a quarterback tutor to good use.Tel ViMit Owr TACK SHOP We carry u complete line of RIDING EQUIPMENT ENGLISH & WESTERN J.N.BOISVERT & FILS 5 King St.W.562-0938 Facing Bui Terminal Free Parking Behind Store Photo Real Hebert As lose squeaker, remain on top One can rent a canoe by the day or week as the form of the canoe has not changed very much since its invention by the American Indian.The materials used in its construction have changed.Nowadays, instead of birchbark there are cedar canoes covered with canvas or plastic and canoes in fiberglass, and in aluminum.The fiberglass is by far and away the most popular right now because of its price, buta fiberglass canoe can be built from a kit, which can reduce the cost.The aluminum canoe is a little more costly than fiberglass but is popular with fishermen and outfitters as it is hardy and practically maintenance-free.The cedar canoe is much more expensive than the two others and requires a certain amount of maintenance.It is, however, lighter, and handles superbly in water.The reason it is so loved by moose hunters and game hunters is because it is the most silent of the three.Here in the Eastern Townships we are fortunate because we don’t have to travel long distances to canoe.We have in our region an impressive number of lakes, pools and rivers to use to practice the sport, a sport which allows us to benefit for the outdoor life at its best.Toronto at Detroit Oakland at Chicago Texas at Minnesota Boston at Baltimore New York at Cleveland N California at Milwaukee N Seattle at Kansas City N Bv MARC GAUDET GRANBY - The Sherbrooke Athletics (19-9) slugged 14 hits yesterday in Granby but lost their second game in a row in July as the Orioles squeaked by them 8-7 at Napoleon Fontaine.The A s led 7-5 after six innings but the Orioles didn’t give up and scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning for the win.The winning run came on a squeeze play by outfielder Richard Nadeau.A s left-fielder Donald Dupre was displeased with the game “This is worst than being slapped on the face and not being able to protect ourselves,” But, the A s cheered up after hearing St.Jean Pirates lost 5-4 in Drum-mondville meaning Sherbrooke was still three and a half games up.Leading Granby sluggers were centrefielder Michel Robitaille, Stéphane Mon-fette, Bertrand Masse, Marcel Lachance, Serge Martin, Guy I^nthier and Richard Nadeau.For Sherbrooke, hot bats were Donald Dupre and steadily-improving second baseman Alain Bolduc collecting three hits apiece Third baseman Steve Shelton, catcher Denis Mongeau and Serge Collins contributed two hits apiece Others belonged to Jean Grenier, and Guy Landry Winning pitcher Pierre Archambault threw 60 balls during four-and-two-thirds innings after relieving Christian Proulx.Archambault allowed six hits, two earned runs, two walks and succeeded six strike outs, Proulx allowed seven hits, five runs, one walk and struck three batters out.Losing pitcher Bernard Boutin (6-2) was the third pitcher used by A’s manager Oleschuck He relieved starter Sylvio Leclerc and Guy Landry.Leclerc pitched 110 balls in five innings and Landry hurled 21 balls in one inning A’s started the game very strong but slowed the rhythm after the fourth inn ing.They led 4-0 after two innings of action.HoJnk'ueTWMfUAY 2540 ROY STREET SHERBROOKE 567- 4527 0945 1 '* .^ Rodrigue Tremblay, pres 1- RETAIL SALES AND OUTFITTING.2- ALUMINUM SIDING.3- INDUSTRIAL STEEL SIDING.4- DOORS-WINDOWS-ROOFS 5- ALUMINUM SEAMLESS EAVES DON'T HESITATE TO CALL US.ARAKGI SIDELINED MONTREAL (CP) -
