The three storey hotel has a capacity of 409 persons, and was often crowded.It will remain closed “at least until some of the defects are repaired," said the spokesman, "and we can see he means it He can propose a schedule of See DEFECTS, Page 2 City,business continueCGE loss probe Record Perry &eaton Brass monkey weather Lake Massawippi is still open, but there weather combined with heavy early snow-wasn’t a sailor to be seen on Sunday when falls guarantee a white Christmas but a chilly our wandering photographer captured these one.A low of minus 30 degrees (C) was respectacular ice formations.Unusually cold corded over the weekend.$24 billion sought Iran's "final" demand TEHRAN (Reuter) — Iran has delivered its “final’ terms for releasing the U.S.hostages, but the United States says they are unreasonable and doubts that the issue will be settled before Ronald Reagan takes office on Jan.20.The developments appeared to confirm that the 52 hostages, who have been held for more than 13 months, now will spend their second Christmas at gunpoint in captivity.A reliable source in Tehran said most of the hostages are being held at a former royal palace on the Caspian Sea coast, In London, the Daily Telegraph said the United States and Iran will meet in London to negotiate the hostages’ release.In Washington, however, a U.S.state department spokesman denied any knowledge of such a meeting.If the United States agreed to the terms announced by Tehran Sunday, it would have to deposit about $24 billion with Algeria, which is acting as the intermediary in the hostage negotiations between Washington and Iran.State Secretary Edmund Muskie said in a Washington interview Sunday night that a resolution of the crisis is “certainly not going to happen before Christmas and it would be very difficult to make it happen with the time left to this administration.” LACKS POWERS Muskie said the release terms are unreasonable and go beyond the powers of President Carter.The $24 billion would consist of $10 billion cash as a guarantee for part of the wealth of the deposed shah and his close relatives, $9 billion of Iranian money and financial instruments frozen by the United States, $5 billion in other unspecified Iranian assets and about $1 billion worth of Iranian gold.The lengthy and complex document setting out the release terms says Iran would deposit $2 billion with Algeria — $1 billion as a guarantee against unpaid loan instalments and $1 billion as a guarantee against repayment of Iranian debts not connected with the hostage affair.The document suggested this money w'Ould come out of the frozen assets the United States would have to transfer to Algeria.By JAMES DUFF SHERBROOKE The moment General Electric head-office représenta tive James Feenan asked about Sherbrooke's airport.Industrial Development Commissioner Daniel Mignault had that sinking feeling.“When 1 told him our airport was 15 miles outside the city, 1 felt we’d lost them,” Mignault recalls of Feenan’s July 14, 1990 visit.Mignault, speaking to reporters at Friday’s city-hall inquest into the loss of the $60 million plant and 400 jobs to Bromont, said no other factors he could see accounted for Sherbrooke's failure to attract the biggest industrial plum ever to fall on the region “Population has nothing to do with this factory,” Mignault said in response to published comments of Bromont Industrial Director Germain Desourdy, who suggested the proximity of Greater Montreal's four million people had a Feds mum on B.C.revolt VANCOUVER (CP) — The federal government will not respond to the British Columbia government’s decision to withhold about $158 million in natural gas excise taxes until official word of the challenge is received.The reply will come “once we’ve reviewed the entire text of the B.C, government's position,” Senator Ray Perrault, government leader in the Senate, said in a statement Saturday.Energy Minister Bob McClelland announced the decision earlier Saturday, and said the Social Credit government also is considering withholding the excise tax which will be applied next year on gas exported to the U.S.Plane, train crashes bring no dead Investigations have begun into the causes of two unrelated accidents in the Townships over the weekend which resulted in thousands of dollars damage - but not a single injury.Three coaches of Via Rail’s Atlantic Limited, loaded with Maritimes-bound Christmas travellers, jumped the track early Saturday just outside Richmond, but landed on their wheels.There were no injuries reported and the cars were kept heated and lighted while the train's 580 passengers awaited transfer to another train.Via Rail spokesmen said cause of the accident, which happened at about 3 30 a m.Saturday, is not yet known, but that it could have been due to hard ice forming on the rails due to the extreme cold.The line was reopened by 8 p.m.Saturday night and the passengers on their way to Gaspe and points east after being transported to Quebec and fed at company expense.Meanwhile, the pilot of a Province of Newfoundland-owned Canso aircraft attempting a forced landing at Sherbrooke Municipal Airport nosed the plane into the ground several hundred yards short of the runway Friday night.None of the three passengers aboard the flying boat was seriously injured, according to authorities at the CHU.All were employees of the Newfoundland Department of natural resources and were bound for St.Jean-sur-Richelieu when the aircraft apparently developed mechanical problems.According to airport administrator Andre Collard, the crash occurred in an area which had been cleared of trees only recently, a fact which probably saved the lives of all aboard the plane.The impact of the crash split the elderly craft in two and crushed the cockpit, but there was no fire Collard suggested a control tower at the airport could have prevented the crash.Currently, air traffic to and from the airport is controlled from a weather station nearly 2,000 feet from the runway, nearly two miles from where the crash occurred.In yet another air disaster, rescue crews yesterday reached the wreckage of a single-engined Canadian Armed Forces Otter which went down in rugged terrain in the Catskill Mountains overnight Friday.All four Canadians aboard - Lt.( ol D.R.Lawrence of Ottawa, Capts.Jean Petit and Gilles Dessureault and Major Eugene Ross, all of St Hubert, were killed instantly when the plane crashed into the base of a mountain and burned near the hamlet of Phoenicia, 150 kilometres northwest of New York City.A survey by The Canadian Press from 6 p.m.Friday until midnight Sunday night local times showed 24 traffic fatalities, seven deaths by fire, two snowmobile fatalities and the two deaths from falling trees.In other weekend accidents, two Quebecers killed when trees fell on them were among at least 35 Canadians who died accidentally this weekend.bearing on the deal “It's not cities which make the product, but trained employees.10,000 or 10 million, it makes no difference.Mignault says Canadian General Electric never conducted soil tests in Sherbrooke’s industrial park and denied reports that the park couldn't assemble a 45-acre land package.Later, in a half hour special council session, Mignault told assembled members of the Chamber of Commerce, aldermen and the press that he was sick and tired of hearing after-the-fact solutions to Sherbrooke’s industrial problems from people who hadn't bothered to come forward before.“There was certainly no lack of concertation,” Mignault said, listing a team of consultants which included Bishop’s University, the Eastern Townships Regional School Board and just about every municipality and consultation group in the region.He contested arguments that Sherbrooke has been losing out to industrial development elsewhere, describing 1980 as the best year ever for Sher-brooke’s $16 million industrial park.But government decisions have hurt, he said, since Sherbrooke is just outside the Montreal-designated economic region for Department of Regional Economic Expansion and other grants.Mignault described one example he says is indicative of the provincial attitude toward Sherbrooke’s industrial development.“Both Granby and Bromont’s industrial parks are well indicated by signs on the autoroute; Bromont has two But the Roads ministry refused to erect an industrial park sign for us at the St.Elie d’Orford exit.They said the Office des Autoroutes may allow it, but they don’t and since the extension is their responsibility, we couldn't have it.” He plans to appeal the decision.On subsidies, too, Sherbrooke loses, he added.In the Montreal-designated region, if CGE or anyone else wants plant subsidies, they are eligible for 25 per cent of the total location costs, with no maximum, while Sherbrooke is limited to 20 per cent of the cost to $6 million and $30,000 per job created, up to $5 million, for a maximum of $11 million Plants in the Montreal-designated region have no maximum.Mignault was effusive in his praise for everyone who worked on the CGE dossier, including members of the Sherbrooke business world.He singled out Ingersoll-Rand Vice President John Becker as a prime mover But in a Friday interview, Sherbrooke’s federal MP Irenee Pelletier said teamwork may not be enough in attracting prime industrial residents.“There was lack of concertation,” said Pelletier.“Even if everyone was doing his or her job diligently, it’s not enough.” He was especially critical of all the consultation groups at the three levels of government, groups he said can only muddy the line of thinking.((((CCGE9 GRAND PRIZE $404,000.APPROX.FRIDAY WINNING NUMBERS IN ANY ORDER DRAWING: 138 1 I 8 -

Johannes von Trapp surveyed the smoking rubble of what had been home for 40 years to the family that inspired The Sound of Music.“It’s a mess,” he said, his face haggard."But we will rebuild." Fire caused by a faulty oil burner swept through the Trapp Family Lodge early Sunday, killing an Illinois man and forcing 46 guests out into temperatures of about minus 20 Celsius, As smoke clogged the hallways, many people leaped from windows into snowbanks.Another 55 guests at a motel annex across the street were evacuated as a precaution "We were luckly there was no wind,” said von Trapp, "Otherwise we would have lost all.” Baroness Maria Augusta von Trapp, 75, the heroine of The Sound of Music, fled the lodge in her nightgown She Caller warned watched as the flames burned the inn to the ground, consuming all the mementos of her family’s life in the United States.Among them were a portrait of her late husband, Baron George von Trapp, a collection of candles, honoraria, awards and keys to cities.Six people were injured, some in leaps from windows, others from frostbite, Two people remained in hospital, including the wife of the man who died.The body of Hon Becker, of Salem, 111,, was found in the rubble.His wife, Judy, suffered a fractured spine when she jumped from their third-floor window.Both she and Gino Fanicella, 39, of Salem, were listed in good condition.A faulty oil burner was being blamed for the fire, which broke out shortly before 1 a.m.Firefighting was hampered by the cold — the temperature hovered at minus 20 and lack of water at the remote mountain lodge.At dawn, only four chimneys were left standing The building was valued at $600,000.But von Trapp said much of what was lost was "irreplacable." The von Trapps settled in the lodge, originally a farmhouse, several years after flight from Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938.The mountainside location reminded them of the Austrian Tyrol.The couple and their 10 children first made their living by giving concerts throughout the United States.Later, the farm- house, called “Cor Unuro,” meaning "one heart," served as a music camp that attracted hundreds of children each year.The Rodgers and Ham-merstein, musical The Sound of Music, which romanticized the von Trapps' flight from Austria, was first staged on Broadway in 1959, starring Mary Martin as Maria.Julie Andrews starred in the movie version, The Trapp Family Lodge opened in 1962 and offered meals, lodging and crosscountry skiing.of jet tragedy NeWS il brief BOGOTA (AP) — Hours before a Colombian jetliner took off, an anonymous caller warned it would not arrive at its destination.It didn't.The jet crashed in a northern Colombian desert, killing all 68 passengers and crew moments after its pilot reported an explosion aboard, airline officials said.Investigators headed for the crash site today in the remote Guajira Desert, about 800 kilometres north of Bogota, in an effort to find out what caused the Sunday crash Some officials of the domestic airline are blaming it on sabotage, citing the anonymous threat and the pilot’s report of an explosion.One airline official said it was believed a bomb exploded aboard the twin-engined French-built Caravelle jet."It was apparent sabotage.” said Alicia Fonseca, a spokesman for the airline, Aerovias del Cesar.She said the company’s office in Valledupar received a telephone warning Sunday morning from a caller who said "It would be better to detain the plane because it will not arrive at its destination.” NO MOTIVE KNOWN She gave no indication of a motive for the threat.The plane took off from Valledupar and flew without incident to the Caribbean port city of Riohacha.At 2:45 p.m.EST, just 10 minutes after it left Riohacha for the northwest Colombian city of Medellin, the pilot radioed there had been an explosion aboard, said an airline spokesman, who asked not to be named because he said he feared company reprisals The pilot radioed the Riohacha airport control tower that he would try to make an emergency landing in the desert, the spokesman said.It was his last message.The plane had been checked thoroughly by mechanics only four days earlier and was found to be in perfect condition, the spokesman said.Airline officials declined to say whether it was searched for a bomb after the threat was received.A private pilot who flew1 over the crash site said wreckage from the jetliner was scattered over a wide patch of desert.In an interview broadcast by a Bogota radio station Sunday night, the pilot said he flew low over the area and saw bodies "that appear to be torn all apart" spread throughout the burned remains of the jet.An Indian living in the remote area told rescuers he saw the plane explode in the air.Weather Sunny and cold today with a high of -16 Clouding over in the evening with snow flurries.Temperatures will rise overnight, fuesday cloudy with light snow and a

one metre square and set on a concrete slab.The thieves, described as a well-organized gang, apparently went to work late at night and the loss went unnoticed, police said.Pipe-bomb suspends rail

tore up an unoccupied locker room near the station’s main-level waiting area.WARSAW (APi — Workers in a central Polish town continued a maverick meat-rationing protest today despite a ban on strikes ordered by Solidarity, the country’s largest independent union, in a bid to ease tensions between Poland and its Soviet bloc neighbors.The protesters occupied a district government building in the

clerk, Darlene Hansen, 49, said Lyons had put $5.04 worth of gasoline in his car but paid her only $5, explaining that he had "run over.” Hansen told a magistrate court jury last week that when she asked Lyons for the money he hit her and knocked her eyeglasses off.Lyons testified that Hansen hit him and denied striking her.The jury deliberated about 20 minutes before returning the verdict against Lyons.Pulitzer prizewinner Connelly dies Killer whales adjust to new home NEW YORK (AP) — Playwright Marc Connelly, an Algonquin Round Table regular who won a Pulitzer Prize for bis drama The

Iceland.At first, they herded close and timidly together in the centre of a pool but soon got used to their new home.“Quite naturally, they were apprehensive about their new surroundings,” said veterinary surgeon Tag Gornall."I guess they were checking the place out.” The place was the aquarium training pool, normally three metres deep, which was drained to waist depth for several wetsuited aquarium trainers who were in the water with the mammals.Portugal names new PM LISBON (Reuter) — President Antonio Ramalho Eanes named Social Democratic leader Francisco Pinto Bal-semao, a 43-year-old

The October 20 visit followed a Record article on September 24 which named the Abercorn House along with many other Eastern Townships hotels and drinking establishments, pointing out that safety standards were dangerously low.The article, by freelance reporter Merritt Clifton, said of the Abercorn House: "escape from the upper floors is more difficult No fire escape directly serves the front rooms Back rooms are served by a sturdy but flammable wooden stairway.The cabaret contains no visible fire extinguishers and no signs suggesting where extinguishers might be found." The Record article also singled out Farnham s Plaza Hotel, which burned to the ground October 24, leaving two dead "We need more journalism like this," the spokesman continued, "to bring these things to the public's attention They (hotel owners) have to obey the law We don't want another Chapais.” Ow ner Grant Foster had other ideas about newspapers and government regulations it’s a ‘Catch 22’ situation all over again,” he said."If you close you don’t have any revenue, so how can you do the work’’ In any event, although the government has some pretty wide powers, I don’t think the notice they served me was legal and I have turned it over to my attournies.” Foster placed the blame for the governmental incursion squarely in the lap of Record stringer Merritt Clifton “In my instance the article was certainly inaccurate - he stated I only had one exit at ground level when, in fact, there are four He was also out of line concerning the number of fire extinguishers in the establishment "If Clifton had his way and the standards he tried to impose were put into effect a helluva lot of country inns and hotels would have to close forever Many of the hotels in this area have been standing for over a century and are structurally sound He mentioned wooden fire exits, but steel crumples in high heat whereas a wooden escape takes a long time to burn and still allows ample time for guests to make their way to safety.” Foster said his problems began in October ” I was in undergoing major surgery, which requires chemotherapy follow-up treatment when the inspectors met with my wife, Monique, and expected her to make an immediate decision concerning the installation of a sprinkler system We didn't know whether or not we would be able to carry on and asked for a 30-day cooling-off period “We were still trying to see how we could meet the norms prescribed by the government and keep our heads above w'ater when the inspector landed in at midnight on Dec 12, during a party for Abercorn Lumber employees."He ordered the guests out and declared the hotel closed," Foster continued."The injunction, which bore the signature of Pierre Marois, Minister of Manpower and Labor, was addressed: To Whom it may Concern, re the Abercorn House Robert Legault.the inspector, was visibly shaking when he handed it over; one almost felt he knew he was committing an illegal act I told my guests he had no right to evict them and told him to leave which he did, posthaste "I don't know what Clifton's qualifications are as a fire inspector but I have a feeling he might be an undercover agent as his car is seen at U.S Immigration offices far too often for a normal citizen," Foster concluded 1 FOR TOWNSHIPPERS-BY TOWHSHIPPERS We Settle Estates.Provide Financial Administration.Tax Plan Your Income.Arrange Annuities or Tax Sheltered Investments (You can defer income tax on investment income to age 75).YOUR NEEDS ARE OUR CONCERN Professional Advice Call 514-263-4123 W.D.DUKE ASSOCIATES LTD.109 William St., Cowansville, Que.J2K 1K9 president W.D.Duke, B.Comm.C.A.VICE PRESIDENT J.R, Boulé, B.A, Deaths PHANEUF, Maurice - At the Sherbrooke Hospital, Dec.20,1980, in his 94th year.Beloved husband of the late Nellie Alex and the late Bessie Heath.Dear father of Nellie, (Mrs Walter Chesbro) from Kincardine, Ont., Bessie (Mrs.Kenneth Woods), Elora, Ont., Lawrence of Waterville, Harry of Magog, Arnold of Cortland, Ont., Albert of Fitch Bay, Raymond of Beebe, Victor and Donald, Waterville, Marion (Mrs.Donald Emslie) of Beebe.Predeceased by Howard and Harold, Resting at Cass Funeral Home, 39 Dufferin Rd., Stanstead.Funeral service will be held Tuesday, Dec.23, at Wesley United Church, Beebe, at 2 p.m.Rev.R.Coughlin officiating.Spring interment in Woodside Cemetery.Visitation Monday 2-4, 7-9 p.m.WORDEN, Helen — At the Granby Hospital on Friday.December 19, 1980.Helen Sargeant, in her 70th year.Dear wife of the late Clarence Worden Sr.Dear mother of Feme Franklin of Emsfield.Conn., Lorraine Woodard, Rodney Warden, both of Waterhury, Vt., and Clarence Worden Jr., of Montreal.Survived by 11 grandchildren and 6 greatgrandchildren.Dear sister of Lyla Truax of Berlin, Vt.Also survived by sisters- and brothers-in-law, and several nieces and nephews.Rested at the Leo Paul Ledoux Funeral Home Inc.Funeral service was held in the chapel on Monday.Dec.22 at 2 p.m.Rev.Gary Godin officiated.Interment will be at Hill House Cemetery, in West Bolton, in the spring.In AAemoriam BELLAM — In loving memory of Louise Bellam who passed away Dec.20, 1971 and James Bellam, Jan.18, 1979.Always remembered and sadly missed by THE FAMILY McCORMICK — In loving memory of W.J.McCormick who passed away Dec.22, 1970.God takes us one by one And breaks the family chain, But someday in a better land That chain will link again.SARAH LOUISA (your loving wife) McCORMICK — In loving memory of W.J.McCormick who passed away Dec.22, 1970.Time may pass and fade away, But silent thoughts and memories stay.Always remembered by GILBERT and RITA WALKER, Herbert W.— In loving memory of a dear husband and father who passed away December 22 1953 In a quiet country graveyard, Where the gentle breezes blow.Lies one we loved so dearly.Who left us years ago.We do not need a special day To bring him to our minds, For days we do not think of him Are very hard to find.Lovingly remembered by, ETHEL (wife) MARION, PHYLLIS, FLOYD and HELEN (children) E.PROVOST MTS.ic 20,15th Ave.North, Sherbrooke 569-1700 - 569-525T /foiic\' or !

he was worried about the man downstairs and asked me to go down to check on the patient.He was particularly concerned about his breathing.He told me to make sure that the airway was unobstructed and to call him back.He would delay his departure until he heard from me.I put aside the rubber gloves that I had been patching and went to the small medical ward where the case had been taken.I found a tall, handsome young man not more than 22 or 23 years old.He was unconscious.There was no one at his bedside except a blonde student nurse.I knew her because she was a senior and had completed her operating room training.I smiled at her and went to the bed to check the boy’s pulse and pressure.This was not the day of the monitors or of any type of intensive care.His pulse was weak and thready, pressure poor and his respirations disturbingly audible.His face was ashen.He bore no sign of outward injury although he had absorbed a massive charge of electricity.I opened his mouth gently and suctioned some of the gathering mucus from his throat.His condition was rapidly worsening.I turned to tell the nurse that I would summon the doctor and for her to call the boy’s family.To my everlasting shame I must confess I felt a genuine amazement when I saw tears running freely down her smooth young cheeks.At once I remembered the close relationship of the people in that area and I thought that I understood.The student was from Grand Manan and perhaps this lad was from there, too.“Is this a relative of yours?” I asked with concern.She shook her head.“A friend?” I queried.“No, I don’t know him,” she said softly, “it's just that it is so sad.” A cold sense of shock swept over me as I stood there.I recoiled from my own callousness.How immune to tragedy I had become.I saw the patient in terms of dropping blood pressure, failing pulse and obstructed breathing while she looked at him with pity and tender sorrow ; she saw him not merely as someone to check over and report on but as someone’s son, brother, lover, friend.I squeezed her hand gently and went back upstairs to make my call.The boy died within the hour.Every Christmas afternoon since that day I am swept back in memory to that small, quiet room where a young man died and a young nurse wept.She will never know or understand what a peerless gift she gave me that Christmas day.Her tears and her sharing in his pam jolted me back to a day when I, too, had cried for a patient.Her compassion and sensitivity made me suddenly realize how far I had strayed from knowing that no acquired skills however efficacious, can replace the caring and the love that gives grace to recovery or imparts gentleness and compassion to dying.I wish a blessed and joyful Christmas to everyone and especially to Miss Greene of Grand Manan.Park planned for Megantic SIROIS-GAUTHIER Dispensing Opticians ‘Complete Lab Service *RX.Filled with Care *Eye Glasses Repaired *Sun Glasses House Calls, for persons unable to come to the office.9A Wellington St.N.—Sherbrooke TIL: 562-7838 or 562-7095 By JUDITH KELLOCK-HEWARD MONTREAL - The director of Montreal’s Botanical Gardens has applauded a move on the part of the Ministry of leisure, Fish and Game to create a park on 1,105-metre Mount Megantic.Andre Bouchard said the move was a good one whether the park is to be classified recreational or conservational "We are extremely pleased with such an idea And in view of the fact that Mount Orford has a recreat ional classification the ministry would be well advised to create a conservation park project which will protect the natural areas." “The parks law provides for public hearings before the size and the vocation of a park can be established," Bouchard added “Since we have a Mount Orford Park for heavy recreation, we should now have a space for a non-intensive type of recreation such as snowshoeing, hiking and cross country skiing " The Ministry of Leisure, Fish and Game made public last week a report by the Centre de recherche en amenagement regional (Centre for regional territorial development) at the University of Sherbrooke which recommends the creation of a 19,741-acre park within a belt zone of some 25,565 acres The belt is designed to conserve natural sites while allowing for R .r«*sf tv TSFA c5 .- - - ;

Tremblay said penitentiary physician Noel E.Monast arrived within four to five minutes after Rivard.Living unit officer Claude Mongeau said he knew the victim as a resident in his cell block and he first saw him after he returned from his pass about 1:30 p.m., June 14.He testified Rivard’s comportment appeared normal.Yvan Courchesne testified he was in the central control when he was approached by another living unit officer about 6:30 p.m.and he and Pierre Chevalier went to Rivard’s cell.“He was bleeding from the mouth and we took him to the infirmary by stretcher.He was very pale and appea red to be in a coma ’ ’ Dr.Monast said he arrived at the infirmary about 6:40 p.m.and saw a body on the examination table with attendants trying to ressusitate him.“There were marked signs of cyanosis, a total absence of reflexes, no eye motion and no signs of respiration, in short the general signs of death.” Monast said he did not treat Rivard regularly and the last time he had seen him was on April 4.1981 when he had an ankle problem.Monast told the coroner he could not confirm Rivard used drugs then pointed out a confidential report which was tabled.Methadone, he said, was a very strong analgesic utilized for severe pain.Dorothy Rivard said she saw her son when she wasn't working during his three-day pass and she and his girl friend accompanied him back to the penitentiary.Vicky McKee, 24, said she met Rivard at the penitentiary when he was released and was his constant companion until he returned.“I got him at the prison and we drove back to Montreal, drove around the city to let him see people, then went to his mother's home where we listened to music until she came home," McKee said."The next day we stayed home for some of the time, drank some White Russians, and listened to more music.We then drove around some more, stopped at a brasserie, then returned home.” She confirmed he had consumed orange juice for breakfast on the last day of his pass, but could not confirm if she had seen him mix any substance with the juice.“There was no direct proof of intake, however the medi cal reports handed down in evidence indicate an important presence of methadone and intoxication, therefore, I have no alternative than rendering a verdict of violent death with no criminal responsibility,” coroner Guertin concluded MERRY CHRISTMAS! ,ok CHRISTOPHER REEVE [ Ml |ANE SEYMOUR CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER 'Am y THE BLUES BROTHERS CAPITOL 59 King east 565-Om Week 6 Sat Blues 7 30 1 ime.9 35 Sun Blues 1 00 5 08, 9 16.lime 2 55 7 03 Parking facilities mi % To All My Clients ^ Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas M and a Happy New Year1 BJ.V.Hopcraft P.O.Box 316—North Hatley ^ Tel.s 842-2405 ^ Accounting & Tax Returns {•: La Quotidienne WINNING .NUMBER 0-8-1 HEART MAKE IT A MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH A GIFT FROM EVENING CREDIT COURSES WINTER 1981 This term’s Evening Extension Session otters you a great \ variety of degree-credit courses.Classes are offered one evening per week, beginning the week of January 5th, 1981.Subjects offered include: Business Computer Science Dialogue Economics English Fine Arts Français Geography German History Mathematics Political Science Psychology Religion Sociology Spanish YOUR BEST BUY IN SHOES and HANDBAGS 83 KING W.-DOWNTOWN COURSES ARE ALSO OFFERED IN COWANSVILLE.FEATURES: -Tradition of quality academic instruction -Small class size, individual attention -Free tuition for senior citizens (over 60) CALL US TODAY!

Santa asked.“Power," Clark snapped, with a hearty Ho, Ho, Ho."Power." The NDP kicked off festivities Tuesday with a cosy wine-andbandlelight dinner for a mere 250 in the West Block cafeteria, then they traipsed over to the Centre Block where they were joined by others for a dance in the Railway Committee Room.With drink tickets going at $1 each, the bash generally was judged the cheapest and best of the lot.Dinner-dance tickets were $7 each, or $2 for just the dance.Liberal House Leader Yvon Pinard may feel last week’s marathon emergency debate on the sate of the Canadian economy was a complete waste of time, but he’s being proved wrong by the comments of Canadians from coast to coast.Granted, the debate accomplished little.Joe Clark’s self-admitted cartoon image underwent no radical change.Ed Broadbent’s four-point plan for the resurgence of the economy will go unenacted.Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberals will continue to follow their policy of doing precisely nothing.If one was to believe their arguments, there is nothing to be done.The dollar is linked to interest rates, which are tied to consumer activity, which is dependent on the purchasing power of the weekly paycheque, which has been dealt a painful blow by a 12-per-cent cost-of-living increase over last Christmas.Perhaps it’s the Gordian-knot nature of the problem which has frozen the Liberal government in its tracks.Certainly they have warned that a massive decrease in consumer credit is needed to bring inflation into line, but what have they done to support that?The very same Yvon Pinard said MPs were long overdue for a salary increase, and the government has not been holding the line very well for federal government employees.We’re seeing a lamentable lack of judgment, a sorry spectacle of double standards and a government frozen into inactivity.We’re all paying the price.There may not be a cure for Canada’s economic woes.We’re being bombarded almost weekly with doom-and-gloom reports about our stagnating economy, our worthless dollar, our lack of productivity.Yet the government is beside itself opening and closing offices and doling out grants of one kind and another.Could our problem be paralysis brought on by overload of the central nervous system?The answer in that case would be to give the Liberals and Ottawa’s civil-service grey matter a protracted holiday.JAMESDUFF The Conservatives pulled something of a coup by booking the rather grand Parliamentary Restaurant but instead of the advertised buffet, it was a sitdown dinner and as a result long queues of hungry Tories were left waiting for table space.There were dark rumors that the affair was somewhat sabotaged by tables of Liberals and NDPers who lingered over their meals long after regular closing time and thus frustrated the Tory seating arrangement.Whatever, to keep their spirits up Clark and others, accompanied by MP (ieoff Scott on the harmonica, roamed about singing carols.But when it was suggested that Clark, facing a possible leadership battle, give a solo, he said the only thing he’d sing was Oh, Come All Ye Faithful.Bar tickeLs sold for $1.50and the dinner-dance was $7.50, with somewhat dated music provided by the public works department band.More than 800 attended.Meanwhile, over in the rather clinical chrome-and-arborite atmosphere of the South Block cafeteria, at least 1,200 Liberals were jam-packed and knocking back drinks at $2 a shot, $3 for brandy.The dinner-dance tickets went for $6, although MPs got an initial quota of five for the Speaker Jeanne Sauve, who gets invited to all the Hill parties, looked a bit tired as she bravely showed up for the Tory shindig."It’s a good think I don’t drink," she said to a bystander.“This is my fifth party today." Even though he didn’t get a present, Ed Broadbent had some bright gift suggestions in a speech at an NDP fundraising dinner.For Joe Clark : "A computer to keep track of all his permutations and combinations on the constitution." For Pierre Trudeau: "A copy of the book How The West Was Won.” For Conservative Premier William Davis of Ontario: “A splendid retirement dinner." And for CBC-TV personality Knowlton Nash: "Intensive lessons on how to say good night without making people laugh." The squabble between the Parliamentary Press Gallery and the prime minister’s office over space on the Boeing 707 taking Trudeau on his forthcoming six-nation tour has led to some rather imaginative interpretations of the phrase "comfortable configuration." “Maybe he wants to take his swimming pool aboard," said one reporter."Or a sauna and hot-tub,” suggested another.Trudeau’s office says only that he wants the "more comfortable configuration" to provide more work room and more relaxation room, including coaches, for the official party of 12 to 15 persons.And thus less room for the media.Stung by this, and further word that Trudeau intends to limit the size of the media on future world trips, the press gallery passed a resolution saying there must be no limitation of persons providing news coverage when he travels on state business.The defence department, which operates the fleet of four 707s with a normal capacity for close to 300 passengers, won’t get involved in the controversy, referring all queries back to the prime minister’s office.In the end, the debate may be more academic than anything, although the press gallery insists it is the principle that is important.At a cost of around $3,700 each, only 21 media reps have applied for the January trip and the prime minister’s office says all will be accommodated.And in “comfortable configuration." According to a transcript circulated by the fisheries department, the U.S.Coast Guard plans to "jockey a supertanker through the strait of Wandafewka." But they've got to find it first.What the transcript of the CBC radio broadcast was aiming at was the Strait of Juan de Fuca, between Vancouver Island and the state of Washington and noted for its tricky waters.And tricky spelling WYCHAR&g THeMwrm TAme TRvpm/s Ames to ass COMMON SSNSS AS PRICES R/SS?Shopufvng AND Wming up PA&MPISNT Dollar debate: Same old tune.tlSLriri i z w OTTAWA (CP) - The interest rate song Canadians are hearing these days is an old familiar tune.For the past several weeks, the Progressive Conservatives have been hammering the government over the economic hardship facing ordinary citizens because of high interest rates.The Liberals have answered the Canadian situation is tied to what happens in the United States and rising rates are necessary to combat inflation.If the chorus — repeated endlessly as the Commons launched an emergency debate Thursday after interest rates hit record levels earlier in the day — sounds familiar, it is.Only the singers have exchanged parts.A year ago it was the Liberal opposition berating the Tory government to take action while Conservative cabinet ministers urged Canadians to accept “shortterm pain for long-term gain." The similarity is not lost on Bob Rae, finance critic for the New Democratic Party.Last week, he moved a nonconfidence motion condemning the government for “its outright betrayal of its election promises to lower interest rates, to cut taxes and to stimulate the growth of the Canadian economy without a mandate from the Canadian people for such a reversal.” The Liberals with their majority rejected the motion — the same one, word for word, — they voted for to topple the Conservative minority government last Dec.13.URGED PATIENCE last year, then-finance minister John Crosbie called for patience when he faced questions after the Bank of Canada fixed its trendsetting bank rate at 14 per cent, 3.36 percentage points lower than the record floating rate established Thursday.In “the battle against inflation and the battle to revive our economy.this is the only way we can proceed today," Crosbie said.Now the finance minister is Allan MacEachen, who after a meeting with his provincial counterparts Wednesday said there is “no alternative to the present approach." Crosbie sounds different these days, puffing up his Newfoundland indignation and demanding to know what help is planned "to assist homeowners, potential homeowners, small businessmen and farmers?They cannot afford to wait any longer." That sounds a little like Industry Minister Herb Gray, Liberal finance critic last year in opposition."Why is he (Crosbie) not doing anything to help Canadian business, especially small business, instead of giving us empty talk?” The Conservative reply last year is reminiscent of the tack the Liberals are taking today.Last year, Joe Clark said Canadians live “in an international circumstance which limits the flexibility of the government of Canada.” MacEachen told the Commons last week: “We are not pursuing policies that are bringing about these interest rates.These policies are being pursued by the Federal Reserve Bank in the United States.” Letters Corry debate: Statements are ill-judged, slanted Editor: If you are still publishing comment on the Sondra Corry matter, I should like to respond to the editorial by Charles Bury that appeared in the December 12 issue of The Record.Bury observes in his first paragraph that Sondra Corry is entitled to her opinions May I begin by making the same generous concession to Bury, and adding that it would help if everyone’s opinions were informed ones, clearly expressed and cogently argued Many among both the defenders and attackers of Corry’s cause have expressed themselves quite irresponsibly.I share Bury’s anger, for example, at the incident he describes in which Corry herself attacked a local journalist publicly with misdirected accusations.I’ is unfortunate that Bury has now added with his editorial to the quantity of ill-judged and slanted public statement on the whole story.I am tempted first of all to make Bury look foolish by pointing out his failings as a stylist.(Witness his favorite ironic device: a confused and illogical use of quotation marks.) But there are more important matters to address.Bury calls Corry “Sherbrooke's only, lonely one-irack English speaking militant feminist.” It is extremely doubtful that Sherbrooke has no other Anglophone militant feminists, but I wonder in any case what point Bury sought to make in referring to her thus Does he mean, in effect, “Thank goodness Sherbrooke's English speaking women have stayed sensible.Those crazy French broads can do what they like "?Probably that’s not quite his intent, but he should think before he writes.Bury calls “marginal” certain groups who have sent The Record open letters defending Corry; he specifies that they are claiming to speak for Eastern Townships women.Consider the implication, then, of this sentence in his editorial: "The letters come from: The Sherbrooke committee for the status of women, the general association of students male and female) of social service of the Université de Sherbrooke, the rape victims’ assistance service, etc." How dare so marginal a group as the committee for the status of women claim to speak for Eastern Townships women?And just think of those people who help rape victims - real lunatic-fringers they are - ex pressing an opinion on women's issues.(The dismissive “etc.” is especially delightful.' As he continues to list what seems to me an extremely representative string of women’s groups, he adds a parenthetic "surprisingly" after the University Women’s Club of Sherbrooke I suppose he thinks women with a university education should know better.There are many more silly insinuations in Bury’s editorial, but I’d like to take a look at his next to last paragraph Writing of one-issue activists, he says, “They demand things they have no business demanding They insist on the reinstatement of rights that have never been taken away" For example9 The right to use a university campus without being hauled off by security guards at the request of any student who doesn’t like your face?Oh, no, that can’t be it - that right was taken away.The right to protection from slander in the campus paper?“They want the principal to censor a newspaper belonging to someone else.” By demanding an apology for such slander9 I should like to address one more issue, but it is related not to Bury but to Principal Nicholi.Bury quotes him as follows : “Corry is allowed the same privileges on campus as any other guest .She may not tear down posters or put up stickers on boards without the permission of the person responsible if she wants to stand in a doorway and give out handbills or something like that, that's perfectly acceptable." How reasonable this seems But consider: Sondra a She with Corry caused a kerfuffle by putting protest stickers on the glass case in which poster was displayed argued excitably students w’ho saw her, and threatened, admittedly, to break the case.The next day the poster had disappeared An article appeared in The Campus accusing Corry of the “crime" and saying anyone who saw her on campus could have her removed by calling security guards ( Also, an editorial in the same issue of the paper very clearly implied that Corry is a paranoid schizophrenic.) Corry had appeared before Lennoxville police, and the charge of theft had been dropped.So no one knows if she tore down a poster.(Innocent till proven guilty, Dr Nicholi?) But subsequently someone saw her on the Bishop's campus, called the guards, and had her removed It is this last event that is truly disgraceful.Principal Nicholi could have publicly dissociated his own position and the University’s from this act of student and security guard officiousness, while at the same time depreciating the tactics Corry uses in defence of her cause He has done the latter, not the former.Apparently, he “finds this whole issue ‘such bad publicity for the cause they.claim to advance It’s a very odd way to convince people " Forcing someone off campus w ithout authority to do so is also “a very odd way to convince people" of anything, and the Principal has so far not censured those responsible Bury writes, “In general, Nicholi adds, sexism and feminist militancy at Bishop’s ‘doesn't seem to be an issue apart from Sondra Corry'." ( 1 can’t tell whether it’s Bury or Nicholi who lumped sexism and feminist militancy together, as though there has never been a pacific struggle against sexism.) “It’s certainly not one of our priority probiems, not something that comes up often,” says the Principal.Not one of your priorities9 To your shame be it spoken Not something that comes up often at Bishop’s9 Don’t kid yourself.It's because reasonable people, who bring up the subject of sexism patiently and calmly, aren't heard that some of them become “one-issue activists," as Charles Bury writes, and eventually “lose all sense of proportion." Nothing like banging your head against a brick wall of complacency for proportion losing RINAKAMPEAS, Lennoxville f MON DECEMBER 12, 1980 5 Business Iteconl Electronic games aren't selling well .EStAîE PLANNING Pops your present Will metimise the value your benetictaries will eventually derive from your assets* _ Consult us at ê ¦' * ( entrai ItuilduiK llhinn^t West,Sherbrooke ui'tsin.other offiees aet oss t ailiulll__ CALGARY (CP> -Sl«cIronie games, many of hem the hottest selling Christmas gifts on the market a year ago, have moved slowly in some Calgary stores this season.With only a few shopping days left until Christmas, storeowners are overstocked with electronic gadgetry even after reducing prices to encourage sales Don Phillips, a toy buyer for Super S Drugs, said he increased the toy department's stock of electronic games for the Christmas rush by 15 per cent over the normal stock But he has been forced to .toys big item at Xmas MONTREAL (CP) - Tis the season for toy-makers to be jolly, because the last three months of the year are when they make 70 per cent of their sales, estimated to top $500 million this year in Canada."People may forego that extended trip to the Bahamas, but they will always buy toys for their children at Christmas," says Boyd Browne, president of the Toronto-based Canadian Toy Manufacturers 1 Association.Analysts say this Christmas looks cheerier than last year’s, when retail sales wilted in the mild weather.A cool December, promoting a Christmas mood, can heat up consumer spending.“Every retailer prays for snow," said Keith Elliot, director of consumer affairs at Woolco department stores.“It's life and death for us, because it can change our season around." Irwin Toy Ltd.of Toronto, the largest toy company in Canada, sells $53 million worth of toys a year.What makes it distinctive, besides its sales volume, is the fact that it is Canadian-owned."Most toys are designed in the United States,” said Peter McCann, vice-president of marketing and sales at Mattel Canada Inc.of Toronto."The Canadian market just isn't big enough.” SECURITY TIGHT The Mattel headquarters building in Los Angeles is ringed by security guards, and only people with special clearance can enter the design section, where 300 men and women design, mould and paint the latest creations.Research for a new toy can take up to five years.Of the hundreds of ideas produced each year, only seven per cent will be patented and readied for production.Of every 10 new products on the market, only three will survive more than one year.“The toy business is like the fashion business,” said Brian Clarke, president of Coleco (Canada) Ltd.of Montreal, a subsidiary of Coleco Industries Inc.of Hartford, Conn.“It consists of fads and trends that change quickly.Just as skirt hems go up and down and lapels get narrower, the toy business is constantly shifting.The trick is to keep ahead of the game.” Coleco has built a strong position in electronic games.Grand Toys Ltd.of Montreal has built sales to $20 million a year, mostly by assembling and packaging imported toys.About one-third of toys sold in Canada are imports, mainly from the Orient.COMPETITION VICIOUS While competition seems vicious at the manufacturing level, “it’s a real dogfight” at the retail level, said Elliot of Woolco.Retailers send spies to snoop around competitors’ stores and jot down prices, which can fluctuate each day.At the Simpsons department store in downtown Montreal, sticker prices on some toys have been crossed out with red pen and new, lower prices printed in.Electronic games have been all the rage, but even in that field there have been some duds For instance, some Eaton and Bay stores have marked down Coleco’s Zodiac electronic horoscope game, introduced last year, to $9.99 from $40.“We had to sell it below-cost just to get it out of the store.” said Harold Celtorius, Eaton’s eastern division toy manager Retailers are counting on this Christmas season to help them recover from slow sales growth and sagging profits earlier in the year Total retail sales grew 8 3 per cent to $67 billion in the first 10 months of 1980, compared to a 13.3-per-cent rise in the same period of 1979.cut prices 10 per cent below the discount rate to get the games off his shelves “We ll certainly be cutting our inventory in 1981,” Phillips said.“They (electronic games) probably will sell well during the last few days, but I think everybody over bought." Phillips said toys such as Strawberry Shortcake dolls and Star Wars spaceships are the big sellers, and sales of traditional toys have increased by 30 per cent from last year.People find the price of electronic gadgets too high, he said, with most games costing between $30 and $60 BARBIE CHEAPER "You can buy a lot of Barbies for that." At The Bay, sales of the games have picked up since the beginning of December, said George Rogers, regional toy buyer for the department store chain in Calgary."(Sales) were down industrywide last month and everybody was getting scared and expected a carryover." Rogers said U "There’s a glut of elec Ironic toys on the market Everyone, including drugstores, is carrying them I’d guess industrywide they were over-stocked by about 20 to 25 per cent,” But in the last two weeks The Bay has sold $100,0(H) w orth of the toys about the same as last year — and Rogers predicted manufacturers will probably reduce the number of games they make to try to stabilize the market A spokesman for Zeller's said sales have been only half of expected levels and Zeller's has dropped prices 30 per cent Electronic football and baseball sales at Woodward’s were also described as slower than last year "The electronic toy area is still strong but it seems to have peaked last year," a Woodward's spokesman said.Eaton’s and K-Mart, however.report the gadgetry has been selling well, with sales equal to or better than last year’s.'Work widening' only way to go OTTAWA (CP) Governments and the private sector must begin looking at novel ways of creating jobs, the Canadian Council on Social Development says And it says the ideas of "work spreading" and "work widening" offer a good chance of easing unemployment at a time when growth of the jobs market can’t keep pace with the size of the lnlx>r force "We do not suggest that these approaches by them selves w ill solve Canada’s employment problems, but we do believe that they should form part of an integrated approach." The council, a private research and lobby group funded in part by the federal and provincial governments, makes the proposals in a report to a special parliamentary committee No estimates were made of the costs, if any, of putting the ideas into effect.Work spreading is a strategy for distributing a given amount of work among more employees, primarily through greater use of part-time workers or through job sharing arrangements.The council says part-time jobs might be especially appealing to "workers in transition" such as young people entering the labor force, women with young families to look after or people approaching retirement."We need to rid ourselves of the notion that part-time work is secondary to full-time work," the report says, noting that most union contracts don’t even mention part timers Retailers gear up for the Christmas season the shoppers have been pinching the pen-— including gift-wrapping services — but njes this year.Retailers pray for late splurge Recession slows spree LONDON (Reuter) -Christmas shoppers in the West are spending their money slowly, and retailers are praying for a last-minute spending spree.The w'eeks before Christmas are always important, but this year the recession makes a boom essential for retailers.“If they don’t get the Christmas spirit soon, we’ll be in deep trouble," said one Oxford Street shopkeeper.American sellers in Manhattan this week reported cautious buying.In Paris, the trend is to fewer, more expensive gifts.In Tokyo, a seasonal boom is expected Retail industry analysts in the United States believe many consumers are looking to buy higher-priced quality goods, and retailers say consumers seem worried about inflation, high interest rates and the prospect of another economic slowdown.KEY PERIOD The four-to five-week period after Thanksgiving is the most important in the U S.retailing year and accounts for as much as 50 to .60 per cent of annual retail earnings.But industry analysts expect only slightly higher sales this season.Sales of electronic toys such as television games have slowed in the U.S., where experts see a saturated market, although these are selling out elsewhere.In Britain, the Retail Consortium, a retailers’ group, said Christmas is the last hope for profitability.Liquidations are expected to rise 23 per cent over 1979, and 30,000 jobs have already been lost.The West German Retail Traders' Association said sales are up.One hope for a good yearend is sales of home entertainment equipment, particularly video cassette recorders.mEMUCWME %!! ismmEzmnnNH Location: 90kilometres eastof Montreal, Exit90from the Eastern Townships Autoroute (route 10), then Route 243 south for 7 kilometres to Brome Lake.Christmas at the Auberge.On the 25th, from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m., we will serve a special Christ mas brunch (with roast turkey, filet of halibut, tourtiere, etc.) $11.00 for adults; $6.00 for children.At night, we feature the Smorgasbord for our annual Christmas dinner and dance.Starting at 6 p.m., we serve a punch (one for the children also) as you arrive.Dancing from 8 p.m.to 1 a.m.With the Smorgasbord, the hot dishes will be Roast Goose, Rock Cornish Hen and Filet of Salmon.$19.00 for adults; $10.00 for child ren.Please call for reservation.We wish you all a Merry Christmas !

It’s not just the poor and lonely who suffer Christmas blues — that seasonal sadness caused by failure to duplicate the ideal Christmas seen in schmaltzy television commercials.Experts say the Christmas blues are far more contagious than the ho-ho-hype would suggest, striking not just the down-and-out but adding that deadly last drop of financial or emotional strain to those who manage adequately the rest of the year.“I call it Christmas anxiety and it’s fairly common throughout society,” said Rev.Gordon Winch of the Toronto Distress Centre."We start Social notes Wood chest would serve as casket Dear Ann Landers: My husband was open-mouthed, slack-jawed and almost turned gray overnight when I told him 1 wanted to hire a wood craftsman to design a beautiful chest to use in the family room and put some cushions on it so people can sit there - then when I die, I want it to be my coffin.Besides being able to store blankets in this chest, I will know and become accustomed to my final resting place.I am a practical person.My husband thinks I am crazy.I also told him I want a private funeral, the most inexpensive one available, only wild flowers, and that he should not have me embalmed.I hate funerals and do not want my friends and family looking at me in that shape.Do you think I am kooky?If I put this in my will, who should I give it to?If you print my letter, I ask that I remain anonymous.I’m in enough trouble with my family over this.The neighbors don't have to know.— Need Your apport In Oklahoma Dear Oklahoma: If this is what you want, I see no reason why you shouldn’t have it.Putting the instructions in your will insures nothing.You may be buried before the will is read.Your best bet is to discuss the situation with one of your children, your clergyman and your physician.Between the three of them, someone should see to it that your wishes are carried out.Dear Ann Landers: In the last two years I have known personally one football player who died of head injuries, another is paralyzed.Both happened in schools 25 miles from here.I wish you could print this letter at the beginning of the football season, but I realize it’s too late for that.Just print it whenever you can.I believe the officials can make a big difference in preventing injuries and deaths if they will do the job they are supposed to do.I go to a lot of football games.At these games films are taken.At our school interested people are allowed to watch these films a few days after the game.They can slow the film down or stop it.You wouldn’t believe how bad some of the officials are.When you watch the films and see officials looking at one penalty after another and not calling them, it’s disgusting.Two weeks ago a player face-masked 11 times that we could see in the films.He was called for it only once.He started in the line-up of the next game but was taken out with injuries on the second play.Why?Because the team knew he was a dirty player, and since the officials wouldn’t stop him, they did.Not calling minor penalties is bad enough, but not calling penalties that could cause serious injury is a crime.The very next time one of you officials gets on a field ask yourself: If one of these players is seriously injured or killed, would there be enough evidence on film in the last few years to prosecute you for being criminally negligent?—- A Concerned Spectator Dear Spec : People often ask me if I make up letters.The answer is NO.I know if I wait long enough, I’ll get the letter that offers a chance to champion a cause and say what I want to.I have been waiting for YOUR letter for a very long time.Thanks for writing it.Dear Ann Landers: I have been dating this boy steady (no one else) for over a year.We both are 16.I am very much in love with him and he says he loves me, too, but last month was the absolute pits He has a bad temper, throws things, screams a lot and hits the walls with his fists.He has never hit me, but I’m afraid one day he might.Last night he got mad at me and held my wrists very tight out of anger.When I showed him the red, puffy marks, he said, “I don’t see anything ” What is wrong with him?For two people who are supposed to be in love we fight an awful lot.I need advice.— Troubled In Albany Dear Albany: That young man with the short fuse had better learn to vent his anger and frustration in sociably acceptable ways before he gets into serious trouble.I suggest that he talk to his high school guidance counselor.I further suggest that you two cool it for a while.Sixteen is pretty young to be "forsaking all others.” Mother blamed in slaying getting calls from people with Christmas anxiety as early as late November.‘‘It hits people with marginal coping ability, who may do fine the rest of the year but just don’t have the financial or emotional resources to handle the extra burden at Christmas.” And with the economy at a devastating low and layoffs and interest rates approaching alltime highs, that marginal group is growing, he said.Many la id-off workers call the distress hotline, upset that they can’t uphold their lifestyle, which includes the Christmas trimmings.Although most callers in recent weeks have been women anticipating Engagement Mr.and Mrs.George Grubb of Waterloo are happy to announce the engagement of their daughter, Sharon Luann, to Mario Paul-Emile Forand, son of Mr.and Mrs.Jean-Paul Forand of Waterloo.A June wedding is planned.MINNEAPOLIS
