Space charged with illegal arms sales MONTREAL (CP) - The controversial arms manufacturer Space Research Corp has been charged with exporting 50,000 long-range artillery shells to South Africa’s white-minority government in violation of a United Nations arms embargo The charges, laid Wednesday by the federal Crown prosecutor’s office here, also say the firm declared falsely that the shells were being sent to the Caribbean island of Antigua for testing.The company was to appear today before sessions court Judge Rheal Brunet to answer the charges The complaint alleges that the shells were shipped to South Africa — which has been fighting a bitter war to maintain control over resource-rich Namibia despite guerrilla operations and strong UN opposition — between Oct.30.1976, and Sept.10, 1978 In June, the company, whose 8,000-acre compound straddles the U.S.-Canada border at Highwater, Que , and North Troy, Vt, was fined $45,000 by U S.District Judge James Holden after senior executives pleaded guilty to charges of exporting arms without a licence.Space Research founder Gerald Bull and former company president Rodgers Gregory were sentenced to one year in jail although six months of each sentence were suspended Bull.52, and Gregory, 59, pleaded guilty in March just days before a federal grand jury was expected to return indictments against the men and the company as the culmination of 16 months of hearings In the plea-bargain agreement.Bull and Gregory pleaded guilty to having exported to South Africa at least 30,000 howitzer shells, two 155-millimetre cannois and a radar tracking system The two businessmen faced maximum two-year prison terms and fines of $100,000 on the U S.charges The firm has since changed its name to Saber Industries The border compound — with launch pads, sophisticated radar tracking and telemetry' equipment — was closed in June when the company laid off 200 employees.The Canadian subsidiary, called Space Research Corp Quebec, was forced into receivership in June and is up for sale.The Space Research group of companies had sales of about $2 million in 1970 while revenues totalled almost $40 million in 1979.¦A .m tji- One of

unexpected tax increases and the Greater Montreal Hotel Association has threatened to take the city to court Pierre Bougain.association president and manager of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, called the action "shocking and potentially ruinous” for the city's convention industry and said his group will take legal action if necessary.Montreal hotel rates are already among the highest in the United States or Canada and the tax increase is expected to be passed on to customers through higher room prices, more expensive meals and lunchtime drinks.The tax bill for the Hyatt Regency Hotel rose HO

great day for kids; some with two legs and some with four.Judging sheep and goats was not an easy undertaking for Dwayne Acres as sheep, goats, kids and billy goats romped through the tent which has been there at the Sherbrooke Expo for the past several days.Although entries were down from last year in the sheep section, goats, kids and billy goats more than made up for the lack both in numbers and energy.Their long ears and bony backs and the ever-present and not very pleasant odor of the billies combined to form a colorful spectacle with the din of bleating sheep and blatting goats providing appropriate background music.Some winners of the championship were John and Marilyn Wingeat of St.Felix de Kingsey with their Dorset ewe : Jocelyn Cote of South Durham showing a Hampshire ram ; Nelson Mastine, Ted Bennett, Robert and Lois Laberge, the Evans family of Danville and many others were satisfied with their ribbons.Meanwhile, local interest in the fair seems to be flagging as attendance figures have been consistently lower so far this year.Some folks blame the weather, but a long look should be aimed at the security system which al lows more people over the fence than come through the gates.An evening’s entertainment should include a session spent with the security men, spiffy in green uniforms that mean nothing to the fence jumpers who come through gaping holes in groups of up to 12 young people who thumb their noses at the guards efforts to stop them.Consequently, as one slightly-built uniformed See FAIR, Page 3.By CHARLES LEVEQUE SHERBROOKE — Although most Eastern Townships school boards are reporting drops of up to about 10 per cent in this year’s projected enrolment, Bishop’s University’s will be up for the first time in several years.For the last couple of years, Bishop's has been reporting steadily declining applications.Last year, less than 200 new students being accepted to first-year studies.This year, on the other hand, Registrar Greg Marcotte expects •figures to be up about 20 per cent “The least number of students we can expect to see at our door on registration day is 220 and if the impossible happens we might even get up to 270.people,” Marcotte commented.With the rise in enrolment comes the possibility for Bishop's to raise mini mum requirements.“When you have as much of a raise as we seem to, it’s much easier to turn away the borderline cases," the registrar added The only other English educational institution in the Townships to report an increase is Champlain regional college, which shares the Bishop's campus in Lennoxville.Champlain has had a trend of increasing enrolments for the last few years and this year they estimate they will be up by about 65 students, bringing their student popula tion to about 1,135.Champlain registrar D’Arcy Ryan credits the new Champlain residence facilities with the influx of students.“Word has gotten around that Champlain is a nice place to attend and a great place to live," Ryan said The increase of enrolment at these two facilities will mean they will both be hiring several full-time or part-time Cold, sprays killing bees MONTREAL CP ) - Millions of honey bees are dying of insecticide poisoning in southern Quebec and bee-keepers say they expect to lose at least $5 million as a result.The bee-keepers, and the bees, have two main problems An unseasonably cold and wet spring produced a meagre supply of clover, the bees' main source of nectar.The bees turned to young corn plants.But com farmers, fearing a bad year for caterpillars, have been spraying insecticide regularly on the crops from the air.Farmers spray when all the bees are out — between 10 a m.and 6 pm."when the air is warm and the sun is in all its splendor," as one keeper put it."The planes have been working nonstop (at the peak of day ) except to refill with insecticide." said another bee- keeper.Michel Auger of St.Cuthbert, about 60 kilometres northeast of Montreal.The law allows spraying during those hours, but bee-keepers say spraying should be restricted to after 5 p m.when most bees have returned to the hive.The Bee-Keepers’ Association of Quebec estimates that 50 per cent of the province’s honey producers have been affected and that bees in more than 50,-000 hives will die this season.The damage will cost at least $5 million, the association says.GETS NO HELP The group has appealed to the Quebec agriculture department for help, but so far the department has not intervened.Auger, a part-time keeper, said bees in 25 of his 55 hives have been destroyed, a loss of at least $2,500 f A lack of clover has caused honey bees to turn to corn as a source of nectar.Farmers have been spraying their crops.Terse Kennedy backs Carter NEW YORK (CP) - President Carter won the Democratic party's nomination Wednesday night for a second run at the presidency in November, togrther with a belated personal endorsement from defeated rival Senator Edward Kennedy Trying to put a stamp of unity on convention proceedings that were often fractious and bitter, Kennedy called Carter within minutes of his victory to promise to “support and work for the re-election" of the president "It is imperative that we defeat Ronald Reagan in 1980," Kennedy said in a terse flveline statement released to reporters, acknowledging the Republican presidential nominee's strong challenge to Democrats' grip on the White House and Congress Though Kennedy had withdrawn hi* bid for the nomination Monday night, it was clear that the powerful speech he delivered Tuesday night calling for Democrats to seek "economic Justice" for needy Americans in a return to traditional policies, had influenced the convention greatly There were 1.146 delegate votes for Kennedy, some from state delegate leaders who announced they were voting “with our hearts" as Kennedy supporters periodically sent up “We want Teddy" chants But Carter won handily with 2,129 votes, well above the 1,866 he needed, with 59 votes going to minor candidates or left uncommitted Even then, it took a phone call from Kennedy to his homestate supporters from Massachusetts to convince them that, in the interests of unity, they should agree to make Carter’s victory unanimous.teachers.The reverse is true of the school boards in the Townships, which will be running with less staff than last year as they have let certain teachers go Lennoxville District School Board has reported a drop of about 10 per cent in their estimated enrolment and they will have to drop their teaching staff to 88 5 from last year’s total of 96 The Eastern Townships Regional School Board, which runs Alexander Galt and Richmond regional high schools, reports a loss of about 200 students from their 2,980 1979 total and they see it as a trend that is the same across the country.The St.Francis District School Board will also be down almost 10 per cent from last year’s total of 460 and several teachers contracts may not be renewed.The most oft-cited cause for the dropping enrolment is Bill 101, which res tricts those that can attend English pri mary and secondary schools and encourages emigration of Anglophones from the province The drop in student numbers at the schools comes at the same time as the final signing of a collective agreement between the Eastern Townships Association of Teachers and the three Eastern-Townships school boards.This agreement has been under negotiation for nearly two years and has brought about several strikes and walkouts over that period Farnham water threat remains FARNHAM (MC> Hydrogeologist Joseph Tremblay has reported to the Farnham Chamber of Commerce that the new city water supply will prove a inadequate as the old one within a matter of weeks “According to our river flow statistics," Chamber of Commerce spokesman Marc Turcot claims, “the Cowansville branch of the Yamaska provides a maximum of 2,000 gallons per minute.That’s hardly enough to supply Farnham’s present needs even if you sucked the river dry, right down to rocks and sand ’’ The Farnham city government and the Quebec ministry for the en vironment are collaborating in a $4 million scheme to

Editorial The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Equal status Petition opposes Sutton range clear-cutting According to Statistics Canada, every man, woman, child and babe in swaddling clothes drinks about 100 litres of beer, wine and booze a year.A worrisome figure, to be sure, but we have a strong suspicion there aren’t that many infant topers around.Canada is, after all, a fairly straight-laced society and you can imagine the ruckus and editorials with all that pre-teen drinking.What appears to be closer to the truth is that there are people out there drinking more than their share.If one assumes that a third of the Canadian population is below the drinking age in their respective provinces, 100 litres per person begins to look more like 150.Subtract your teetotallers, your glass-a-year-at-Christmas folk and we find a small, hard core of real heavy-duty guzzlers, gallon-a-day beer drinkers, forty-ounce specialists.It is unfortunate that Statscan cannot tell us more about these individuals.Are there more of them in the east?The West?Cities?Towns?Are they mainly men, or is there equal opportunity?Do they drive?It was reported several days ago that Quebec believes this province has an alcoholism problem.If there are people in Canada who drink 150 or more litres a year, we’d say this nation has an alcoholism problem.Magazine writers talk about the new Western phenomenon, the Big Party, for which scores of boozed-up teens and young adults will converge on a house where someone had announced the intention of tossing a party.They’ll wreck the place, plus the neighborhood, plus anybody who happens to be in the way.Contrast this with the late 60’s, when the straight society’s commentators were falling all over one another to describe the unspeakable excesses of the drugged generation, the dopers, potheads, hippies.The Flower-Power people.They may have been weird, but the only things wrecked during most of their parties were themselves.How can a government do so much to encourage one obviously socially destructive drug, yet spend so much time and money attempting to eradicate and criminalize the peaceful proponents of another?The only rationalization we can come up with is that governments get rich on the trafficking in booze.The answer is so easy.Give alcohol and marijuana the same status.Equip all law-enforcement agencies with the laws, equipment and knowledge to police the use of either by those under a specified age or while driving.Treat offenders as harshly as possible, with no time off licence suspensions for job, status or good behavior.Repeaters should languish in the cooler for a month or two, again with no time off for name, age or good behavior.Japan and Scandinavia got a handle on their drinking problem with laws like these, and that’s the only way Canada — and Quebec —-can follow suit.JAMES DUFF The following is a copy of a petition sent to Jean-Pierre Gauthier, Director General of the Services de protection de Tenvironnement's Regional office, 195 Belvedere North, Sherbrooke.We, the undersigned, are against the clear-cutting of the forest of the Sutton Mountain Range.This took place over six weeks of intensive (around the clock) cutting in summer, 1979, and is presently going on since three months and will continue for five years.The corporate firm of Domtar plans to clear-cut their mountain forest of the size of 20,000 to 30,000 acres, which is 80 per cent of the whole Sutton Mountain range.We want, by our actions, to prevent this major forest tree cutting, in order to maintain the necessary watertable.—The disappearance of countless major Commentary and smaller streams and springs of the area, —Prevent especially the disappearance of the beginning of the Yamaska South River, which is in the center of the present clearcutting activities, and gets less water because of the diversion of water into ditches on the side of the lumber roads —Prevent the lack of water for the industries and farms close by, —Prevent the erosion of the soil and the dirtying of the water, —Prevent the drastic change of the weather caused by the disappearance of such a large forest area, —Prevent the vanishing of a 90 per cent maple tree forest in an area which is zoned agricultural.—Prevent the lack of reforestation with resulting damaging erosion, due to the fact that no reforestation has been done within a year after clear-cutting.—Prevent the above-mentioned clear-cut-ting activities by Domtar without, as far as we know, having a permit from the Quebec government or Environment Quebec —Prevent the noise of bulldozers, shred ding machines and others in a quiet country and residential area —We therefore want to insist on reforestation within one year of cutting.Domtar’s claim of having planted 15,000 trees beginning of June has not been seen either by the inspector of the Department of Environnement or the population of the area —Insist on the replanting of the same quality of forest, not an inferior one, black poplar or so.—Preserve the forest according to the present state of scientific knowledge of for- estry, —Preserve a clean-air area of approximately 40,000 acres of the Sutton Mountain Range woodlands in one hour distance of metropolitan Montreal with two and a half million inhabitants.—Preserve the beauty of a maple forest in summer, spring and especially in fall, —Preserve the flora and fauna, notably the plentiful wildlife, —Preserve the water in brooks, streams and ponds, unchanged in quality of cleanliness and unchanged in quantity.Signed, The Association for the Protection of the Sutton Mountains and concerned citizens.People may find the petition in English and French at: -Epicerie Wallet, 39 Victoria

National League within two years For the time being, however, the older league will continue to let pitchers fend for themselves at the plate rather than allow another player to bat for him as the American League — and most of the rest of organized baseball — has done since 1973.NL owners voted down the DH rule at the conclusion of the summer meetings Wed- nesday, leaving the NL and the Central League in Japan as virtually the onlj two leagues anywhere in organized baseball to eschew the DH But, it’s coming Larry Claiborne —- St.Louis Cardinals’ general manager who voted for it, and Bill Giles, Philadelphia Phil’ies’ general manager who abstained from voting — both are certain the rule will pass eventually."By the next year, I expect the National League to have the DH rule,” said Claiborne, who formerly worked for Boston Red Sox and Oakland A's in the AL and who was responsible for placing the issue on the agenda this week.‘Tm going to keep putting it on the agenda until they pass it.” Claiborne said Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, St.Louis and San Diego Padres voted in favor of the DH while Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, Montreal Expos and Cincinnati Reds voted no and Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros and Philadelphia abstained.‘You watch, we’ll be back and we’U have the DH in the National League,” said Claiborne, who admitted he thought he had the simple majority needed to pass the DH before the meeting “We had three key passes (abstentions) who we thought were going to vote for it.‘‘We were surprised.” Giles said the Phillies would have voted for the measure if there was a chance it could have been put into play by next year Sports ____ttWj ocnt Expos battle back but Cards win 7-5 ST.LOUIS (AP) - What Ken Oberkfell envisioned as a sacrifice fly turned out to be a lot more than that Facing Montreal Expos in the seventh inning Wednesday night, the St.Louis second baseman cracked a two-run double which turned out to be the difference for the Cardinals in a 7-5 National League baseball victory.‘‘He got behind me and had to come into me,” said Oberkfell, who picked on an Pllias Sosa pitch.“I was trying to hit the fly ball and I got it into the gap.” This came after Montreal, bolstered by Gary Carter’s triple and Andre Dawson’s double, battled back to gain a 4-4 tie in the top of the inning.Bob Forsch, 8-7, ignited the St.Louis counter-rally, beating out a bunt against Hal Dues, 0-1.Both first baseman Warren Cromartie and second baseman Rodney Scott then erred on Tony Surprising Expos eliminate Yanks SHERBROOKE (DC) - Eric Forgues pitched a two-hitter as the Expos eliminated the Yankees from Little League playoffs last night.The Expos won the best-of-five semi final series two games to one and will await the winner of next week’s other semifinal between the Elans and the Red Sox The Yanks made a gallant effort to tie the game in the final inning but a rally fell short as the Expos triumphed 8-7.It was a big upset as the Expos had won just two games in season play.The Expos led 2-1 after the first inning, scored three times in the third and led 8-1 after five But the Yankees wouldn’t say die as Dave Marcoux, Jeff Gill, Martin Turcotte, Troy Lunn, Raymond Poulin and Carlton Cheal scored runs in the sixth.Louis Monvoisin made an unassisted play at first to end the game and the Yanks’ title hopes.Eric Forgues was the winning pitcher as he allowed two hits and fanned six Yankee batters.Lunn took the loss for the Yanks, allowing five hits.He struck out eight Expos, however.Both pitchers turned in fine, complete-game performances.The Elan-Red Sox series gets underway Monday night at 6 p.m.at the Parade Grounds in Sherbrooke.BOUTIN TOSSES NO-HITTER By MARC GAUDET Ace pitcher Bernard Bou tin tossed a no-hitter as Sherbrooke Athletics blanked Drummondville Royals 2-0 in their QMJBL playoff series opener at Amedee Roy Stadium last night.It was the first perfect game by a Sherbrooke pitcher this season.Boutin’s arm was aided by the bat of Alain Bolduc, who drove in both Athletic runs.Denis Guay-crossed the plate on both occasions in the second and A fourth innings.Boutin ran into difficulty in the sixth inning when shortstop Guay committed an error.The Sherbrooke hurler then walked Daniel Rheaume but a double play ball preserved the stellar pitching performance.Boutin struck out five Royals during the contest.Guay pounded out three hits while Boutin aided his cause with a pair In another quarter-final game, St.Jean Pirates edged Granby Orioles 4-3.Jean Grenier will be on the mound as the A s and the Royals play Game Two in Drummondville tonight.Scoreboard BASEBALL NATIONAL LEAGUE East W L 64 50 64 50 57 53 56 57 50 61 46 66 West 62
