V.* KÛA Stansteod owner Alan Fisher: He bought in good faith.Campground fights to stay open By JUDITH KELLOCK-HEWARD STANSTEAD — Despite Lise Payette’s promise to introduce consumer protection legislation for immovable property, the legislation is still 'under study’ while people like Alan Fisher of Camping KOA are badly stung.Fisher gave up a thriving Edmonton business to relocate in the Townships, which he feels is the most attractive place in the world to be.Acquiring Camping KOA off Route 143 near Stan-stead in June, he found his doors closed by the Ministry of Environment’s regional office on July 31, at the height of the camping season Fisher paid $140,000 for the KOA franchise which he assumed was in good order, like Colonel Sanders or McDonald’s.Owner Denis Lacoste assured him there were 125 sites, plus 50 more in an adjoining area, that the one well and three springs were not only adequate but abundant in pure fresh water.Fisher did not test, nor ask to see results of tests.Environment Inspector Jocelyn Roy, hearing reports of illness in the camp, tested the water, in the springs, the well having gone dry immediately after Fisher purchased.He found enough contamination to close the camp and informed Fisher the septic tank installations would have to be renewed An added reason for closing was that, although the AAA guide lists KOA-Stanstead as a 125-site camp, the permit renewal designates the site as a 57-site camp, with no change since 1974.The camp has in fact 125, with a possibility of 50 more.The drilling of a new well and a new septic field would have to be done under the government’s consulting engineer, Andre Rainville, at cost to Fisher.To add insult to injury, the ministry also informed Fisher the vinyl lining in his pool rendered it unfit for public use under a 1977 regulation.Fisher wonders why the camp is closed only now, when a report shown to him by the Ministry, done in 1975, pro- nounced the water contaminated and the source of the pollution Fisher’s own septic tank installation.Perhaps the answer lies in the reported outbreak of illness, which hastened the Environ ment Ministry to the site and the time needed by the field to reach saturation point.The septic field, constructed by Og den contractor Marcel Lussier, and approved by Jean-Louis Scott of the Department of Municipal Affairs in 1973 is considered to be illegally approved by the Ministry, as it was not signed by the director of the environment service, then part of the Municipal Affairs department.Campsites must bear the director’s signature, while residential permits can be issued under the inspec tor’s name.The Environment Ministry will allow Fisher to continue for this year on the strength of his new 113,000 well, but dur ing the winter he must make costly re pairs to the septic system and to the pool.Environment Protection Service offi cial Gerard Begin feels Fisher has been badly hurt.“I’d never give advice in a situation like this,” he says.“It’s not my place to do so.But if it were me, I’d withhold on that mortgage.The former owner was less than frank with him.” Begin also feels that a purchaser of a commercial property must find out local environment regulations and conduct elementary tests before buying.He feels Fisher is an exemplary campground operator.His camp has more space, and is cleaner than any in the area.He hopes Fisher will be able to make the necessary repairs in order to re-open.“He's just the sort of person we want around here," says Begin Fisher isn't wasting any time worrying about the disappearance of his life savings into a property so obviously misrepresented He and his wife and widowed daughter are busy cleaning up the already immaculate site, in preparation for the last big weekend of the camping season.¦ • ¦ BROME FAIR The big Broma Fair opens tomorrow with Its usual fanfor» and The Record's Claudio Bowers glues us a look at why It's billed as the most complete exposition of Its site in the province In the Brome Fair supplement with today's Record BILL 90 Hatley residents seem mon concerned about tan increase than the consequences of Bl< 90.If a recent town meeting l any Indication Story on Page 3 - So-colled editorials were a waste of space when L S.Channel! first owned the Sherbrooke Daily Record George Mac-Loren looks back on Page 3 BIRTHS, DEATHS.2 BUSINESS.5 CLASSIFIED .8 COMICS.9 EDITORIAL.4 LIVING.6 SPORTS.10 Hie quickest way to get behind the eight ball Is to take the wrong cue.“OoflStw.tern, or Cube?"

MET WITH CONVICTS The latest series of negotiations between prison officials and the nine convicts began about 3 p.m EDT Wednesday.LaHaye went into the prison to talk with the convicts at midnight Wednesday night The hostage-taking began Monday as an attempted escape, during which one convict was shot dead.The other nine — six of them murderers — have been pinned down against an outside wall of

principles is not as important to the people of Western Canada (as it is to Quebec), but we may be prepared to accept its wording, less palatable as it is, less important as it is to us, in exchange for getting something which is more palatable, more important to us — if you wish resources," Romanow LACHUTE, Que.(CP) — Quebec Liberal Leader Claude Ryan says federal plans to patriate the constitution unilaterally are a disappointing departure from the cooperation between federal and provincial Liberals during the referendum campaign "I believed that we would continue to work together (after the referendum),” Ryan said Wednesday as he was renominated to run in the riding of Argenteuil.He said he felt no animosity said.Claude Morin, Quebec intergovernmental affairs minister, cautiously said there was progress Wednesday on his province's pet project constitutional recognition that Quebec is a distinct society in Canada and has the right to self-determination.Romanow and Chretien concurred Last month, the federal government refused to discuss Quebec's wish, Morin said However, Chretien said a new preamble to the constitution could tie toward Prime Minister Trudeau but would never abandon his opposition to unilateral pit rial ion of the British North America Act.Earlier, after a meeting of the Liberal caucus, Ryan said unilateral patriation was “contrary to the spirit of federalism and would constitute a regrettable precedent ” Before any move is made to bring the BNA Act home from London, he said, agreement should be reached with the provinces on an amending formula.drafted, including the provisions Quebec sought, for discussion purposes, Ontario served notice that it is op-poksed to enshrining the principle of self-determination SEES NO POINT “I don’t see any point in having it in the preamble,” said Thomas Wells, Ontario intergovernmental affairs minister Romanow said the major stumbling blocks have been control of natural resources and the interprovincial flow of goods, capital and labor A natural resources proposal tabled Tuesday by Chretien would allow the provinces to levy indirect taxes The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1978 that provinces do not have the constitutional right to levy such taxes.Meanwhile, Morin was fuming Wednesday not at Chretien — but because the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.had refused to carry Quebec government ads on the constitution.The network has lieen carrying similar ads sponsored by Ottawa but said the Quebec ads were too political.Morin accused the network of discriminating against the Quebec government.Bacon's Bay peace threatened by closure , , tes Record Perry Beaton Re|eon Doucette s father and grandfather came to Bacon's Bay during the summers.Now he brings his own children.By JUDITH KELLOCK-HEWARD BACON’S BAY - A climate of receptivity toward development and stiffen provincial and municipal environmental regulations threaten a species once carefree — the camper on this quiet backwater at Lake Massawippi.In the sun of an August noonday, campers sit outside their trailers in little groups, talking about the fate of the campsite in quiet voices.After three years of correspondence with the campsite owner, Albert Stukus, Environment Ministry authorities have finally issued a closing order effective September 15 until Bacon’s Bay is hooked up to the West Hatley Ayer’s Cliff sewage system.Currently the sewage drains through the soil into the lake on one side, and the Tomifobia River on the other.Although his card bears the title Bacon’s Bay Development, Armel Tremblay is still only the prospective buyer of the Stukus property.His aim is to create a residential development on the finger of land where roughly 112 campers now come with their families each summer Mayor Fernand Cote of the West Hatley Township Council, contrary to a report in Tuesday’s Gazette, said yesterday that the area would not be rezoned residential but would keep the campground appellation Cote threw the township hall open to the campers for a meeting with Tremblay and building inspector for the area, Stewart Hopps Tremblay learned that council would consider approval of his preliminary plan only after it was okayed by the Environment Ministry’s lake and water courses program officials.The reason for this switch may lie in the delay on the part of Stukus to comply with the department’s order to build a sewer connection for the camp.See BACON'S, Page 3 Ryan disappointed Ottawa to probe paper closings TORONTO (CP) - The closing Wednesday of two of the country's major daily newspapers has put 745 people out of work, eliminated English-language newspaper competition in all but four Canadian cities and raised questions about monopolization of the industry The death of the Ottawa Journal and Winnipeg Tribune, which had combined circulations of about 180,000, prompted the federal cabinet to announce it is considering an investigation Closure of The Journal by Thomson Newspapers Ltd and The Tribune by Southern Inc., combined with other moves by the two publishing giants, has effectively ended head-to-head competition between the two Southam now operates Ottawa's only English daily, The Citizen, and Thomson owns the sole Winnipeg paper, The Free Press The competition between the groups had begun only seven months ago when Thomson acquired control of FP Publications Ltd Separate announcements from the two Toronto based groups also disclosed that Thomson had sold its 50-per-cent interest in Pacific Press Ltd of Vancouver and its one-third interest in Gazette Montreal Ltd to Southam for $57 25 million Pt BUSHED BOTH PAPERS Pacific Press, under a complicated arrangement.published both Southam’s Vancouver Province and Thomson's Vancouver Sun Only Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and St.John’s Nfld , now boast daily English-language newspapers published by opposing interests Both companies defended their actions, pointing to red ink figures that showed both papers have lost sub money over the last few years Despite the monopoly situation in most major cities that was accentuated by Wednesday’s developments, combines branch officials and other industry observers indicated earlier Wednesday that there was little reason to believe the government would have grounds to block the moves The announcement of a decision by cabinet to consider holding an inquiry into the activities of Southam and Thomson came later Jim Fleming, minister of state for multiculturalism, emerged from a late-afternoon cabinet meeting saying he was shocked at the closings and promised unspecified action within a few days WORKING IN CONCERT He said Andre Ouellet, minister of consumer and corporate affairs, will contact his departmental officials immediately “to see if there has been any criminal activity in what happened ” “It is shocking to zee two major corporations apparently working in concert to shut down two major newspapers." said Fleming, a former reporter If it appears there is nothing in the current combines legislation to stop the actions of Thomson and Southam, cabinet "will look seriously" at the possibility of an inquiry into the issue, he said Trading in Thomson and Southam shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange is scheduled to resume today after being suspended Wednesday.On Tuesday, Thomson A shares rose 82 cents to a 1980 high of $19.Southam shares were down 25 cents to $38.two fcsiantial amounts of 4 V r 2 THURS., AUGUST 28.1980 Hibernia testing looks promising ST.JOHN'S.Nfld (CP)-The numbers were tantalizing — if all the ils and buts were overlooked — to Newfoundlanders anxious to see their province cash in on its offshore oil wealth.R H Carlyle, a senior vice-president of Gulf Canada Resources Ltd., on Wednesday described the Hibernia oil field in the Grand Banks as the biggest in Canada and one of the largest in the world Carlyle told a conference on the subject that test wells at the Hibernia field show an oil flow of 20,000 barrels a day — indicating the Grand Banks mav hold as much as 10 billion barrels of oil and 15 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.But as encouraging as the tests may be.he added, more exploration must be done to determine whether the find is big enough to warrant the enormous investment needed to bring oil ashore from 200 nautical miles out.Carlyle, whose company has an 18 7-per-cent share in the venture, admitted later in an interview that the numbers he cited at the conference were old ones, based on projections when the first strongly-encouraging signs of offshore Newfoundland oil were Polish worker News in brief demands met GDANSK, Poland (AP> -Polish strike leaders claimed Wednesday that government negotiators agreed in preliminary talks to meet their main demand of independent trade unions, but the deputy premier indicated later that bargaining is not over on the point.Such an agreement would hasten the end of Poland's worst labor crisis in a decade and give workers in a Soviet-bloc state their own unions for the first time ever.“There is general agreement between strikers and the government on forming free and independent trade unions,” Andrzej Gwiazda, one of the workers’ negotiators, told reporters after emerging from closed-door preliminary talks with government officials.But Deputy Premier Mieczyslaw Jagielski said on Gdansk radio and television Wednesday night that “these demands have to be discussed within the present trade union,” which is run by the state.He said negotiations will resume today.At about the same time in Moscow, the official Soviet news agency Tass issued a tough commentary attacking “anti-Socialist” elements within Poland that it said are striving to push the Soviet ally “off the Socialist road.” There was no overt sign, however, that Moscow is planning to intervene in the Polish crisis.Little detail was available on the reported agreement, and it was unclear what further approval was needed at higher levels of the government.The strike leaders had said earlier they would be willing to back off on many of their other demands if the government would concede on the issue of free trade unions.If unions independent of the government are established, analysts said, it could mean a loss of power for Poland’s Communist party unprecedented in the Soviet bloc.The strikes have already advanced beyond a level many thought possible in the East bloc, and have prompted Poland’s shaken leadership to warn of “events that could lead to a national catastrophe." The demand for free trade unions appears to amount to a scrapping of Leninist-style government-con trolled unions prevalent throughout the Soviet bloc.The Gdansk workers have rejected government offers of free elections within the existing union structure, as well as of the right to strike Reports of an agreement came on the heels of reminders from Poland's own leaders that "the world Socialist power," the Soviet Union, looms just across the border.Strikes swept Poland after a July 1 end to costly meat subsidies that sent prices soaring.The strike has spread to the four corners of central Poland, including a giant factory plant southwest of Warsaw, factories in Rzeszow in the southeast and Olsztyn in the northeast, and to Lodz and Wroclaw, Poland’s second-and fourth-largest cities Weather Sunny today and clear tonight with a high of 22 and a low of 9.Friday clouding over in the afternoon with a chance of showers in the evening and a high of 24.Saturday variable cloudiness and showers.

Ethiopian and Somalian forces clash NAIROBI, Kenya (AP> — Ethiopian infantry forces backed by combat aircraft invaded northwestern Somalia early Wednesday and fighting was in progress along a 43-kilometre front, Somalia’s defence ministry claimed.The announcement in neighboring Kenya by Somalia’s national news agency said the predawn invasion started when Ethiopian infantry units crossed

the detention of American diplomats, condemned by the entire international community, be ended and thus a decisive obstacle be removed for co-operation between Iran and the international community of

returned the fire and three persons were arrested, the sources said.The other two cars in the convoy sped from the area, controlled by the Lebanese army.An army spokesman had no comment on the incident.Old people present conflict QUEBEC (CP) — With the steadily-growing proportion of non-productive old people in Western societies, the stage may soon be set for a serious conflict between

Canadian society will climb in 50 years to about 20 per cent of the population from the current nine per cent.Debates are debated WASHINGTON (AP) — President Carter and his Republican challenger, Ronald Reagan, were locked in a fierce debate Wednesday over how, when and with whom to kick off the debates during the campaign for the Nov.4 general election.Both sides were insisting they’re eager to debate each other, one on one, but were stymied over whether independent candidate John Anderson should take part.Carter to announce program WASHINGTON (CP) — President Carter unveils a long-promised economic recovery program today that is designed to speed the United States out of its business slump and enhance his chances in the re-election campaign he launches officially on Monday.Advance hints indicate the scheduled 2 p.m.EDT announcement will promise tax relief for individuals and business next year, aid for the unemployed and depressed regions, incentives to renovate industries and more money to reduce reliance on costly foreign oil.The program has been billed since June variously as a longterm “reindustrialization” strategy and as a blueprint for “economic renewal.” Administration spokesmen said Tuesday it seeks to hasten the country out of recession without reinforcing inflation.Lawyers, doctors urge study MONTREAL (CP) — Lawyers join doctors today in

fishermen, who have been striking for 15 days to protest against the rising cost of diesel fuel and to press other issues, charged at a news conference that 13 of the 48 trawlers involved in the incident were seriously damaged and would be unusable for up to six weeks They said damage totalled $730,000.Gendarmes aboard French navy tugboats fired tear-gas grenades at the picket line of

to try to alter terms of the East coast fisheries treaty in return for Senate ratification of the 17-month-old pact, U.S.sources indicated Wednesday.But Canadian officials in Washington, familiar with the efforts to overcome a lobby by several New England senators that is tying up approval for the treaty, aren’t optimistic about chances tha an acceptable American proposal will be received."It’s almost insulting," a Canadian official said, noting that even if American proposals are received within the next two weeks there will be only about three weeks left before Congress adjourns Oct.4 for the presidential elections a month later.Extortion blast wrecks casino STATELINE, Nev (AP) - A large bomb exploded Wednesday during attempts to disarm it and blew a two-to three-storey hole in the side of a l«ike Tahoe casino-hotel, just hours after an unsuccessful attempt to pay extortionists $3 million, the FBI said There were no injuries in the explosion at Harvey's Resort Hotel-Casino.’The requesLs of the extortionists were met,” FBI special agent Ray Yablonski said.“However, they did not show up at a second location after a phone contact had been made to set up the payoff " He said a helicopter pilot, with $3 million put up by club owner Harvey Gross, was supposed to meet the extortionists "within a 15-mile radius of the club, but (they) never showed." The money was returned to Gross Yablonski said the helicopter pilot was “contacted by the extortionists at a specified location at 12:10 a m.Wednesday and told to go to a second location.” He said the helicopter was to receive a signal from the ground but it never came The aircraft “spent a good half hour trying to make contact, hovering over the meeting point, .The blast at 3:43 p.m.PDT ended a tense stalemate that began early Tuesday, when two people posing as computer technicians wheeled a large box into the casino-hotel and left a typewritten note with their demands for money and a helicopter.The bomb supposedly contained 1,000 sticks of dynamite, which authorities said was capable of levelling a city block of lesser buildings.The blast tore through more than 260,000 sandbags stacked around it, sprayed a sea of broken glass across an estimated 19 square metres of adjacent U.S.50 and threw debris up to a block away.County Sheriff John Maple said bomb squad members were trying to "render it safe" by using a remote-control robot when the explosion occurred.’It was the only thing we could do," Maple said He said casino owner Harvey Gross concurred The explosion shook nearby casinos "like a big sonic boom." said one bystander, rattling glass and drawing cheers from people crowded inside other casinos Smoke rumbled down U.S.50 several hundred metres from Harvey’s, which had been evacuated Tuesday morning.The highway had earlier been closed to traffic.Maple had earlier refused to say whether authorities had attempted to make the payoff."We’ve held up to our end of the bargain, and they haven't," was all Maple would say.As the bomb exploded, the second and third floors on the south side bulged outward.The extortionists had not been heard from since early Tuesday, and Gov.Robert List had pleaded with the people to get in touch with authorities to give them more instructions No further communication had been received from the extortionists after the first, unsigned letter was found with the device, despite the pies from List.Several national guard units had been put on alert Wednesday and thousands of people were evacuated from a four-block "maximum security” area surrounding the hotel-casino, one of five high-rolling casinos along U.S 50 about 66 kilometres south of Reno.found BEMOAN BATTLE Whatever the drilling proves, speakers at the conference bemoaned the continuing battle over resource jurisdiction between the federal and provincial governments Carlyle said that if the dispute drags on much longer, the whole offshore oil program could be threatened.That comment reflected both the concern of the oil companies and of the Newfoundland government In a speech Wednesday-night, Premier Brian Peck-ford launched into one of his patented attacks on the federal government and called again for complete provincial ownership of offshore petroleum Newfoundland Energy Minister Leo Barry said the province could lose billions of oil dollars if it doesn’t obtain full ownership But federal Revenue Minister William Rompkey gave no indication that Ottawa is bending toward the provincial view.Obituary HAROLD B.STEVENS of Trenholm Harold Bradford Stevens passed away at the Wales Home, Richmond, on July 29, 1980, in his 90th year.Born in Trenholm, Que., in 1891, son of the late William Stevens and Maria Bradford, he spent his young years working on his father’s farm until he was united in marriage to the late Bertha J.Armstrong, who predeceased him on August 21, 1977.Following their marriage, he bought a small farm in Trenholm, and along with his farm work, drove the rural mail for 25 years.In 1950 they sold their farm to their son Sydney and moved to Lennoxville, where he was employed at Bishop’s University.When he retired, he and his wife moved back to the home farm until the death of his wife, then he spent his remaining days at the Wales Home.'

from Page One Although Stukus ignored the Environment Ministry's request, he was nonetheless issued a permit to operate the camp by the Service de l’Hôtellerie of the Ministry of Industry.Commerce and Tourism.St.Francis deputy Real Rancourt was asked to intervene, and the closing order was obtained August 22.Although Tremblay has promised to install the sewage hook-up at a cost of some $140,000, it is doubtful the Environment Ministry will be able to issue the necessary permits Much of the ground is marshy, a fact which would preclude the building of a road along the lakeside, as proposed by Tremblay at Monday night's West Hatley meeting Envir- oesi nauev uieeung.r.r Gleanings By GEORGE MacLAREN 1897: Editorials a waste of space On February 9.1897 Mr.L.S.Channel! published the first edition of the Sherbrooke Daily Record.In that first newspaper, Mr.Channell, who described himself as editor and manager, made a statement as follows on the subject of editorials."We shall not publish so-called editorials.Our whole time and that of the writers connected with this paper will be devoted to the gathering of local news in Sherbrooke and throughout the Eastern Townships.After several years’ study of the question of editorials in weekly and small daily papers, we are convinced it is a waste of time and space.The people of the country have grown beyond such, and do their own thinking.If the ablest writers and thinkers in the country can be secured to write on subjects in which they are recognized as specialists, then only do we approve.Unfortunately the revenue of the Record will not now warrant us in going to that expense; consequently we shall devote the money that could be paid for second class editorial writers, to the gathering of readable and interesting news items." I cannot help but wonder if there was not another reason for Mr.Channell’s stand.Perhaps it had occurred to the new editor and manager that most editorials offend someone and it was possibly more prudent to do without when one was in the process of founding a small local daily.In any case, I am of the view that editorials do not change many opinions in the reading public and certainly no one can seriously believe that editorials intend to replace individual thinking by the reader.I feel that when an editorial is at variance with a reader's preconceived opinion on a subject, he generally tends to dismiss it as erroneous or ignorant.However, when a reader agrees with an editorialist, the former tends to feel that the writer holds a sage and clear-sighted view on the matter at hand.Be that as it may, we at The Record will go on wasting time and space without any pretentions to being "the ablest writers and thinkers in the country”, discoursing on subjects in which we are not "recognized as specialists".Thank goodness we do not have too many of these specialists because The Record’s revenue would not warrant our going to the expense of keeping them around.On February 24.1897, Mr.Channell reported on the reactions of some other newspapers to the new daily.The Quebec Telegraph noted with interest that it was the first daily in the province to be published outside Montreal or Quebec City.The Montreal Gazette welcomed the Daily Record in a complimentary fashion, choosing to see the paper's lack of editorials as original.“The publisher, Mr L.S.Channell shows his originality in announcing that the Record will have no editorial comment, devoting all its energies and space to the collection and publication of news, and leaving the readers to do their own thinking.The opinion, however, is expressed that there is room in Sherbrooke for a daily paper and the Record has come to stay The first issue looks like i t would deserve to stay.’ ’ The Quebec Mercury was equally laudatory: "The Sherbrooke Daily Record is as bright, newsy sheet, the first number of which appeared in the Township Capital yesterday We wish our new contemporary the success which his energy and enterprise merit There ought to be a good field in Sherbrooke district for a daily paper.’’ The Express and Standard fairly glowed "The City of Sherbrooke has a daily paper called the Record.It is a four-page paper, nicely gotten up and shows enterprise and push on the part of that city.Mr L S.Channell, the editor and proprietor, is a hustler and we wish him success in his new venture ” Closer to home, however, another view prevailed.Perhaps in the town of Richmond enterprise, push and hustle were not as appreciated as elsewhere Whether or not this was a case of sour grapes, the Richmond Guardian predicted the new endeavour would fail.“’The Daily Record — this is the name of a new daily paper that is issued at Sherbrooke by L.S Channell, late of the Compton Chronicle at the unheard of low price of $1.50 a year The publisher is a sanguine man, and will very much surprise us if he succeeds in his enterprise.It is to be "a newspaper in every sense of the word’’, and "the advertising is not to be allowed to encroach on the news columns" There are to be no editorials, which the publisher (we do not say “the editor" as there will be nothing to edit) says, “it is a waste of time and space for weekly pa pers to insert editorials, as the people have grown beyond such ; we are glad to know that, though it is a revelation to us.In politics’ it will be ‘independent’; we can quite understand that, a newspaper without editorials can easily be independent in ‘politics’ But we doubt if a daily paper of this model will suit the only people in Sherbrooke who are likely to subscribe for a daily We do not know that a daily can live in Sherbrooke; but the career of so unique a one as the Record promises to be will be watched with considerable interest." Well, whatever his limitations as a soothsayer, Mr Jones of the Richmond Guardian was not a man to mince his words In any case, I agree with him However wasteful of time and space, however unspecialized, editorials are an essential ingredient in any daily which purports to be "a newspaper in every sense of the word".onment regulations require that 35 feet of shoreline remain natural with vegetation untouched, plus an extra 60 feet minimum setback for building purposes Lot sizes envisioned by Tremblay — 10,000 square feet — would be inadequate in the face of such régula turns.Tremblay had originally wanted a private development with roads and aqueduct to be sold to the municipality for $1, but seemed to waver when informed by council that it did not maintain roads or sewer within private estates However, Mayor Fernand Cote said yesterday Bacon’s Bay will remain zoned for campgrounds and not for residential development, while Inspector Hopps ad vised no filling of marshlands was permissible without a rare, special permit, that any road must be built 50 feet wide, 25 feet from any house and 60 feet from any watercourse Meanwhile campers have raised a petition with 109 signatures asking the municipality that Bacon's Bay remain a campground Ownership is not yet resolved Jean-Claude Decelles says Tremblay wants $7.500 per 100' x 100’ lot.but indicates if the lot sizes were changed to accommodate application of environmental norms, some trailers would lie in the swamp itself The area floods 12 inches each spring as it is Decelles himself has been at the campsite each sum mer for 14 years Like Rejean Doucette, whose grand father came here 60 years ago, he has brought his children here every summer Doucette's father first came to Bacon's Bay at the age of two, and brought Rejean at the age of one year.Rejean’s own family are now growing up here each sum mer up here each summer Campers speak movingly for their campground De celles claims it is not simply the excellent fishing, but the close, quiet, family-like communication between campground sharers He tells of how the entire set of sixteen neighbors helped a woman newly widowed to build an addition on her camp building Herve Lavergne speaks with nostalgia of the 24 pound lake trout he caught last summer Whether the campers could form an association for the purchase of Bacon's Bay, whose asking price is said to be in excess of $225,000.is a remote possibility in the minds of the campers Peter Rodney, who has been coining to Bacon’s Bay for 26 yeans now.feels it would be beyond their wild est means."Many people here now are retired," he says.“Where would they find the money and why would they want to make an investment at their time of life" One possibility remains in the form of another inter ested buyer for Bacon's Bay, building contractor Fernand Dupuis of Farnham Dupuis has said he wants to keep tin' campgrounds, and is pur ported to have already set his engineers to work on a solution to a sewage hook up for the Bay, which floods to a depth of 12 inches regu larly each spring Meanwhile, Tremblay is canvassing the campers for prospective buyers, and asking them to sign their names to indicate their wil lingness to acquire a lot in what he said today he intended as a camp development rather than a residen tial one.Council will sit in regular session Tuesday night when it w ill consider the problem of Bacon's Bay once more JEAN-CLAUDE DECELLES .quiet good times HERVE LAVIGNE .loves the fishing Bemhardtj Alive and kicking By DONNELLY Rarely does the reputation of a stage actress survive her death Yet, almost 60 years later, Sarah Bernhardt is still alive and kicking the train of her long silk gowns at the Piggery Thea tre, thanks to Monique Ley-rac and Jacques Beyderwel-len Last night, the North Hatley summer playhouse was graced with the English premiere of their play (based oh Beyderwellen’s original work).The Divine Sarah is a delight to the senses as well as the intellect From the opening scene where Monique is poised defiantly on the plush red velvet divan, Sarah’s life unfolds in revealing vignettes which make* use of a stage crowded with late-Romantic paraphernalia and finery fit for a dandy — a result of Monique’s diligent search for just the right material in any second-hand shop she could find.Annick Rossignol’s splendid costuming does justice to Sarah's extravagant reputation.But where would it be without Ms.Leyrac’s stature, her fiery, passionate commitment to the role?if MONIQUE LEYRAC as Sarah Bernhardt opened last night at the Piggery.A dynamic and talented great Bernhardt, alternate-personality in her own right, ly makes the audience laugh, Monique Leyrac does won- cry and, as one 19th century ders with Sarah and, like the critic put it, “shiver with delight".Jean Dalmain.the play’s director and Mon ique’s husband, has coaxed from her the grand gestures of this baroque Thespian The classic poses she period ically strikes sharpen Sarah's characterization.The play's three songs spice Leyrac’s splendid performance as an actress, the first of two by Rossini showing a keen comedic sense.Again and again, our curi osity is whetted by colorful ly dramatized anecdotes about Sarah's relations with world-famous figures like Rossini, Dumas, George Sand, Oscar Wilde (who dubbed Bernhardt “the divine Sarah”), and even the Prince of Wales Hearing tales about her theatrical de parture from the Comedie Française, how her coffin was always kept close to her bedside, or how she tricked a friend so she could give a dramatic recitation of “La Marseillaise" to a hostile audience which was soon won over by her fervour and eloquence (Leyrac’s rendi tion in French will send shiv ers up and down your spine) simply make one hanker for more.But perhaps because of the play's length almost three hours some of the more demanding soliloquys, like Hamlet's "To lie or not to be '.fall flat Much editing still remains to crisp up the play, especially the narrative sections and parts of the two French speeches But with so much history, it is difficult to know what to cut and what to develop.With refinements, this’ play should have no trouble charming audiences in Tor*' onto (its destination in Orth*’ her) as much as it did yes*’ terday’s opening night’ crowd There is no question that Monique

blase over Bill 90 By DAVID SIMMS HATLEY - Hatley land-owners got another chance to find out about Bill 90 after a first meeting that one observer described as unproductive.Michael Krauss.an expert in interpretation of the law, was present to aid members of the council in understanding the provisions of the law According to the proposed agricultural zoning, all of Hatley municipality would be zoned green with the exception of some lots in the center of which would be zoned white.Given the restrictions of the law, few showed much interest in having their property zoned commercial.Hatley residents appeared to be more concerned about the difference in valuation and in the amounts of tax to be paid Agricultural land, zoned green, would be taxed at a value of $150 per acre whereas land, changed from green to white, would be evaluated at $500 per acre the first year, doubling each year thereafter until the fifth year when it would be taxed at its true market value Few Hatleyites showed any concern for the restrictions that the law would place on future development Although Bill 90 places no restrictions on the types of development that can lake place in the one half hectare unzoned area in each land holding, some of those present expressed satisfaction that other development, such as trailer parks or hot dog stands, would be unable to take place Hatley is a quiet ytliage and residents api».>r keen to keep it that way One aspect of the bill which attracted much concern was the question of the right to build and its effect on vacant land.Since the law is retroactive to Nov 9, 1978, a landowner who purchased his parcel of land (in the green area) before that date would have the right to build one house on one-half hectare.This right would not, however be transferable to a buyer should the land be sold.An additional restriction requires the owners of vacant land to construct their houses before June 13, 1985, if that right is not to become void.Those having bought vacant land after Nov.9, 1978 have no right to construct dwellings unless such is approved by the Agzo Commision Krauss explained that Bill 90 look precedence over all land that had not been provided for in municipal master plans regarding water and sewage system, but which had been deposited before June 13, 1980 The type of development taking place on commercial zones and in the one-half hectare "free zones" would still be subject to municipal zoning Asked whether the government’s own activities and development plans, or those of Crown Corporations which might involve ex* propriation, the cutting of sugar bushes or construction of various kinds would be subject to the provisions of Bill 90, Krauss said they would not Last night the Piggery presented Monique I/cyrae in The Divine Saiah to a packed house " and a standing ovation as Miss Leyrac gave an inspired performance of Sarah Bernhardt.The play portrays the ups and downs of Bernhardt's roller-coaster life Miss Leyrac takes the audience with ' her to the highs and lows, while maintaining an even pact1 that holds the audience in her power The set and costumes, taken from the late 19th century are well-designed and expertly used on the limited slag»;.The songs are nicely spaced and beautifully done by MisSr>; Ixyrac, whose voice needs no introduction.v; The play is long and drags a little in the second act This-ts may be due to the fact we have been given such a wide in, troduction to the character in act 1 that act 11 tends to be&’L* retread of the first At one point an actress tells Miss Bernhardt six- never has

Street sew er installation claimed its first victim yesterday, as 10-year-old David Pettigrew was struck and injured by a ear hacking up when its driver discovered he couldn’t get through the construction “There was no barricade or ‘road-closed’ sign when the accident happened,” said witness Leo-Paul Valcourt.“They put one up later, but the contractor had left no warning lights or anything just a skinny little barrier." The elderly driver told police he had thought he c ould get through the barriers, despite numerous warning and detour signs.When he arrived at the torn up section of the street, he lost his temper, threw the car in reverse, and backed up "The little boy was right behind the car,” said eyewit ness M.I^acharite "It went right over him His friends • were banging on the car, yelling at the driver to stop." The lad’s hip was severely dislocated and his mother, France Pettigrew said this morning doctors are still at tempting to stem internal bleeding and repair the tissue' damage “They told me he was to stay off that leg for the next three months or he’ll have serious problems later in life,” the boy’s mother said Placement of adequate warnings and barriers is the res ponsibility of Sintra, the contractor on the job Boulevard Portland SHCRBROOKE T*l bBS 0366 W-t: 1:00-3 00-5 00-7 00 9 00 W-D 7 00-9 00 Cinema 2 Record Perry Beaton Up she goes: A Sintra dynamite crew sets off a low-powered blast to lift several square metres of paving and rock a couple of feet into the air.Ten-year-old David Pettigrew was hit by a car just to the right of the worker setting off the blast.Mawcook river polluted ROXToN POND (ARi — The Mawcook River is being polluted by thousands of gallons of oil, spilled by local industry, residents claim At this moment the pollution is thought to come from the Stanley Works of Roxton Pond since this the only industry of importance on the Mawcook that uses Lake Roxton as its source.The Mawcook joins the pollution-plagued Yamaska near Granby.CHEECH MARIN HONG I thoma;

after all, who’s there to print it?Instinctively, one feels for all those journalists, advertising employees and production staff out of jobs.Relatively few will be absorbed.The rest will get into commercial work or public relations or life insurance; such is life.At the same time, one must remember that a key factor in those boardroom decisions was the tremendous overhead, the awesome lack of productivity which characterizes the average North American newspaper.Unions work for fat salaries and four-day weeks; any excuse is good enough for claiming overtime, whether in the newsroom or the shop.Good journalism costs more than bland, inoffensive pap, but it requires dedication from the publisher on down.If anyone along the chain lacks the commitment, the disease spreads.Neither the Trib nor the Journal were bad papers.In fact, both recently went through drastic revamps which lifted morale and left them trying harder than their bigger competitors in both cities.The competition was healthy for all.One of the most pathetic lies being foisted on an unsuspecting public is that a monopoly is a good thing, that lack of competition improves the product.One publisher said his paper was immeasurably better since the competition went under a year ago.This is not evident; even his own staff claims the product to be boring, irrelevant and out of touch with its own readers, let alone the society around it.It has been said that a daily paper in a one-paper town is a licence to print money.It has also been said that newspapers are devices to help rich people get richer.So true.JAMESDUFF Quick as a wink From the Quick as a Wink Dep’t : Just over an hour after it was announced that Czech brothers Anton and Peter Stastny, stars on the third-ranking national team, had defected to Canada, came the word they’d be playing with the Quebec Nordiques.Later, we find out the pair had defected because they’d been offered the jobs.They even had insurance; the Winnipeg Jets are interested in the brothers.The best part is the Nordiques will shell out compensation to the Czech hockey federation under an International Ice Hockey Federation agreement.Amazing.Whether* it’s the almighty dollar or the great zloty, money shouts louder than socialism.What NHL player ever defected to Czechoslovakia?JAMESDUFF Evangelists want born-again president WASHINGTON (CP) — Biblethumping evangelists are making a determined effort to ensure that “godly conservatives" who share their views get into elected office in this U S.presidential election year It's a major change in tactics for fundamentalist leaders, who have generally considered political activism incompatible with their faith.But this is also a year when all three presidential candidates are "born again.” Democrat Jimmy Carter and independent John Anderson are self declared born-again Christians.Republican Ronald Reagan says he underwent a midlife transformation from being “a hemophiliac liberal” to a born again Republican.The most visible effort by the evangelists to sway the N\ 4 presidential election outcome came last week when a two-day rally in Dallas in the Bible-belt South— drew thousands who were exhorted to “crawl out from under those padded pews” and become politically active.KKAGAN VPPKMtS Reagan addressed the rally, which was financed by Texas industrialist T Cullen Davis, who said he had a born-again experience after a recent acquittal on a murder-for hire charge.Conservative political groups are adding “a new vitality” to American politics, Reagan said.“Religious America is awakening, perhaps just in time for our country ’s sake,” he said It is time, urged Southern Baptist leader James Robison, to turn out the “perverts, radicals, leftists, Communists, liberals and humanists” who are taking over all levels of American government.Instead, it is time to get out and vote for conservative politicians, mainly Republican ones The fire-and-brimstone approach to voting, shows initial signs of success.For example, a political lobby group called the Moral Majority was set up 14 months ago and now shows a membership of 40,000, including 72,000 ministers, and drew $15 million in contributions to support its kind of candidates.The evangelists describe the ideal candidate as one who supports a military buildup, favors less government control over education, prayers in school, defeat of a constitutional amendment guaranteeing equal rights for women, and strong sanctions against abortion, homosexual rights, pornography, behavioral research and a variety of other issues that they consider to be anti-God or anti-family.Equal rights: Marchers now too busy NEW YORK (AP) - A decade ago, Rosemary Gaffney remembers, people kept asking, “What do you girls really want'’” They don't ask that anymore, she says, and on the 10th anniversary of the Women's Strike for Equality she sees less interest in talking about feminism than in doing something about it.There is also less interest in marching for feminism, which is why, Ms.Gaffney said, it was difficult to get women to help organize this week’s Fifth Avenue parade in com memoration of the 10th anniversary of the Women’s Equality March Ms.Gaffney and Lynne Shapiro — the co-chairmen of the parade recalled in recent interviews how easy it was to enlist feminists to organize the 1970 march, itself a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the day women won the right to vote in the United States.They also recalled how hard it was to make the public understand why the march was being held.In 1970, we wanted equal pay for equal work, free abortions on demand and child care, said Ms.Shapiro.“Now we are concerned about rape, sexual harassment, battered wives, the equal rights amendment, Third World and black women’s issues, union women and office workers, and health care.” This year’s parade features speeches by grass-roots organizers who were to talk not about theory, but action, she said.The only celebrities at the microphone were to be former U S.representative Bella Abzug and Ms.magazine editor Gloria Steinem.Ms.Shapiro and Ms.Gaffney said their own lives have reflected changes in the feminist movement in the 1970s.Ms.Shapiro recalled that 10 years ago she was a blue-jeanclad 23-year-old who decided to pass out leaflets for the 1970 march almost as a lark.Today, she works with Women Against Pornography, a New York group she helped found, and is pursuing a career in marketing.Ms.Gaffney was 30 in 1970 and said she had had little exposure in the women’s movement.Since then, she has served as a leader of the now-defunct New York Radical Feminists, a group concerned with rape.She said the women’s movement helped foster the confidence she needed in her work as a systems analyst.^ATGU/SCOH BIOTED MAFIA BIGGIES, SHOT IT OUT wnw t HI;

They left with the briefcase, which contained $50.000 in cash Consider also the case of Joseph Silvestri.a New Jersey building contractor who had been promised a $50 million loan for a client who wanted to build an Atlantic City casino All he had to do was produce members of Congress who would fix the phony sheik’s immigration Kroblems He brought in Sen arry Dressier.R-S D But it soon became clear that Dressier would nol take a bribe •• had not, in fact.Jack Anderson even been bnclcd 4 ?976 ?\ Q 8 6 3 ?.1 10 9 •> SOI TH ?h Q 7 4 V A 08 ?A 10 8 2 ?K 4 Yulner able Both Dcalet South West North East South 1 NT Pass 2 V Pass 3 ?Pass !?Pass Pass Pass Opening lead ?ti R\ Oswald Jaroby and Alan Sontag Noi , mlv does South have maximum notrump, four good spades ie lu Once North transters to hearts.South wants to tell North about this nice holding Instead of merely bidding two spades, he jumps to three North would have passed a' mere two spades, but he goes on to game after South's jump ' Wests trump lead doesn t help South any He wins with thi' king over East s jack, leads a trump to dummy and promptly loses the diamond (messe A diamond eomos' hack and South sees that he must find East with either the aee ot clubs or king ol hearts it he wants to make he game .Can he work out a wav to try both plays’ Yes.he ran and does He runs diamonds to dis card a heart from dummy Then he tries the heart Imesse and it works It the heart finesse had lost he would have been able to get to dunum by Hilling for a lead to bis king of clubs later c ;1 „ Pit *fr « T ¦.•.¦ Since the accident, everything has changed she has to team howto live all over again.Wf ill Mary ever be able to lead the active life she led before?A car accident has upset everything.She didn’t buckle her seat belt.Now handicaped and dependent upon others, her life has drastically changed.Her reintegration into society is not easy.Every day she faces new challenges.Accidents are so very costly.An accident costs a great deal, Fasten your seat belt, it's so easy.Régie de l’assurance i du Québec.KSîü 8 7 HURS., AUGUST 28, 1980 Steel Service Center Angles * Beoms * Channels Plates * Sheets * Pipes ' Re Bar.etc.SHAPE CUTTING AVAILABLE Simmonds Steel Warehouse 1931 Galt East, Sherbrooke.Tel: (819) 563-4155 Classified (819) 569-9525 ___ttai KBCHra INDEX REAL EÏÏATE | b||EUlP[QYfTlEnT| »20-#39 ?I AUTQfnOTlVE «40-^39 w.fTlERCHADDIEE | #60-^79 | ||nilfCELLAflEOUf| «80-W100 RATES 10c per word Minimum charge $2 DO lor 20 words or less Ad will run a minimum ol 3 days unless paid in advance Discounts lor consecutive insertions without copy change, when paid in advance -3 insertions-less 15% 6 insertlons-less 25% 2! insertions-less 33Vj% » 84-Found- 3 consecutive days -no charge Use ot Record Box' lor replies is $1 50 per week We accept CHARGEX DEADLINE 1U am working day previous to publication.1.Property for sale house and STORE tor sale, u ”ji).J bedrooms, bath, •n, livinq room, den, - II cellar, wall towa 11 nrpeting, attached garage, 2 acres, Orleans access to 191, Route 58, 2 miles from Willoughby Lake, 15 miles from J P.ski area.Grocery store, has gas pump, will iBke 50 per cent down and finance the remainder.Lucien Tessier.Evan syille, Vermont.Tel.805 754-8787.BUNGALOW FOR SALE — 4 rôoms, possibility of 6 rooms, Haskell Rd.on Belvedere Heights.Very ntce view, on 1 acre of land.Also can rent Tel 569 4225 or 563 5604 evenings.WATERVILLE, brick ¦bungalow, 4 bedrooms, laundry room, basement, garage, large lot, quiet area •gn outskirt of town, $37,500.>rivate sale Call 565 7997 days or 837 2962 evenings.!
