Trudeau's plan to amend and patriate the constitution moves to centre stage in the Commons and Senate again this week when the final, and possibly the most bitter, round of the historic debate begins Tuesday.The discussion is already marred by ill-feeling.Progressive Conservatives, who oppose the Trudeau proposals, are incensed with a government suggestion last week of longer sitting hours and shorter speeches to accommodate all MPs who might want to speak in the final round.As if to underline his point, the Commons must vote tonight to end debate on second reading — approval in principle — on a borrowing bill.The legislation would give the government authority to borrow $14 billion to meet its anticipated deficit for the 1981-82 fiscal year, which begins April 1.Even after tonight’s vote, however, the bill still needs detailed study by Commons and Senate committees and another round of debate later this year Then MPs and senators will settle into the heated political issues surrounding the constitutional package.which includes patriation, an amending formula, a charter of rights and recognition of the principle of equalization — richer provinces subsidizing their poorer counterparts.Yesterday, hundreds of women called for the resignation of Lloyd Axworthy and three leaders of the government’s Advisory Council on the Status of Women at a conference organized by a network of feminists.Key to their constitutional demands is an llth-hour plea to Parliament to change the controversial charter of rights before asking Britain to entrench it in this country's constitution.The conference was organized after the resignation of council president Doris Anderson who accused other council executives of bowing to political pressure from Axworthy, minister for employment and immigrantion and minister responsible for the status of women.Key changes the women want in the charter include a guarantee of equal rights and freedoms for men and women, elimination of a three-year delay in implementing anti-discrimination provisions and addition of the rights to abortion and equal economic opportunity.MONTREAL (CP) - Claude Ryan told Liberals from the largely-anglophone west end of Montreal Island Sunday that a return to free choice in the language of schooling in Quebec is out of the question.Speaking at a regional meeting called to debate the platform the party will defend in the next provincial election, the Liberal leader said it is “unthinkable” that English could ever again be on an equal footing with French.“It is unthinkable to give equality to English because French is too important to Quebec and because full bilingualism would be too costly,” he said.There are not enough anglophones in Quebec to justify full bilingualism, said Ryan.About 20 per cent of the province's population has English as its mother tongue.His comments came after West Montreal delegates had voted for a return to full freedom of choice in the language of education, which ceased to exist in 1975 when the then-Liberal government passed Bill 22.The Parti Québécois has since passed the even more restrictive Bill 101, which makes schooling in French mandatory for all children coming to Quebec from outside the province.If they win the next election — which is likely to be held some time this spring - some Liberals, including Ryan, propose to exempt from the French-school requirement all children whose first language learned is English, regardless of their national origins.But a large portion of the fran- Inside LITTLE HOUSE Once there

the suggestion, advocating instead adoption of the so-called "Canada clause,” which would allow all English-speaking children of Canadian citizens access to English schools.Ryan also said members who cannot accept the party’s constitutional policies should express their views within the party and not in public.He also warned provincial Liberals who are also members of the federal party they can’t “be black and white at the same time.” Ryan said he cannot approve the way Ottawa is going about bringing the BNA Act home from Britain.“I have not understood before and still fail to understand the reason that prompted the federal government to go into this whole option now,” he said.“They should have waited until we had our election here.” A provincial Liberal government would have been in a far better position to negotiate on the constitution than the present Parti Québécois government, he said.He said the provincial and federal Liberals are “two completely different and distinct parties.” It is quite proper for a provincial Liberal to support the Conservatives or New Democrats federally, he said, although “normal and natural” that most are federal Liberals.If someone joins the provincial Liberals, he said, that should mean he subscribes to its bylaws and orientations.“If he is not satisfied with the orientations or platform, he has all sorts of recourses (within the provincial party),” Ryan said.Ryan urged members torn between the policies of the two parties to work quietly within both to seek clarification and reconciliation.Ryan blasted Premier Rene Levesque for treating Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau as “public enemy No.1” and making little effort to meet him and discuss differences.Levesque “will seek allies in other parts of Canada, and will even contemplate a trip to Britain to pay his respects to the Queen, but he won t talk to the prime minister of Canada,” Ryan said.rKJL I'V' Record Perry Beaton Get those blades sharpened The snowless,

the blaze might have been started by youths with a grudge John Fitzsimons, an off-duty fireman who was working at the Stardust Cabaret as a bouncer, told officers at least two youths were seen setting fire to some stacked foam-backed chairs, a police spokesman said Sunday.The spokesman said there were reports the youths, who he said had not been identified, could have had a grudge against the club, but he did not elaborate.Other sources said the club refused to admit people it considered troublemakers But the manager refused to say whether anyone was turned away Friday night, when about 800

teenagers who were in the club, 40-year-old Mary Coyne, died of a heart attack when told her son and two daughters were safe.More than 130 others were injured Eight are in critical condition Provincial § bearings for the automobile industry.The 45 strikers are members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) local 956.Spokesman Robert Choquette says they are holding out for better wages, a return to indexation, improved vacation conditions and a change in seniority rights.Striking workers include machinists, millrights, machine operators,maintenance and quality control workers.Choquette a 33-year-old grinding machine operator and member of the union negotiating committee, said workers had been without a contract since May 1 last year, and walked out on October 17th.“The main problem is money,” according to Choquette.“On February 6 we had the first new offer from the company since negotiations began,” said Choquette.“Our members voted it down by 56 per cent.The only change from the original offer was in the salary offer, but it’s not enough.” Choquette says employees are still frustrated over their 1977 contact."The company said in ’77 we had to help them get out of trouble.So we put a ceiling on our indexation.Now, at the end of three years, we would have $1.50 an hour more if we had kept the old (indexation) system.” Torrington introduced indexation after another four-month strike in 1988 According to Choquette the company is offering an average salary increase of $2.43 per hour Before the strike the Torrington workers’ average wage was $5 98 per hour After four months on the picket line.Choquette says employees are just as determined as the day they walked out “Sure it hurts,” he says."It would he lying to say otherwise.We're not on strike for fun.It's a battle we had to fight " “Torrington says this offer is not negotiable,” says Choquette, but he Robert Choquette .workers frustrated feels that if the Company was prepared to moved a little the dispute could be settled The company offer is for a three year contract beginning February 9.“But if the contract was dated May 1, 1980 (the day the old contract expired), we'd be back at work today." The union feels negotiations would have gone better if local management had more authority.“The local management don’t make the decisions," says Choquette.“Everything important is decided in Connecticut.We helped them in '77, but now they seem to forget.After all, a multinational is a multinational.” Choquette feels the current slump in the US-Canadian auto industry has helped delay a settlement “Business is rotten,” he explains.“If there was work the company would have settled right away.But they don't have orders to fill.Before the strike, they had just laid off over 40 employees.” Company spokesman Gilles Bedard refused comment on most aspects of the strike, saying “We don't want to negotiate through the papers.” But he confirmed that the company had made its final offer.“We made an offer at the beginningof thestrike We’ve had three conciliation meetings, but nothing has changed.The offer was final." “The only thing that changed was the date of the contract,” says Bedard.“The contract at first was dated for May.But that was nine months ago.We want a contract for a full three years.” As for the frustration remaining from the 1977 contract, Bedard says the strikers have no reason to be resentful “They have already caught up with the present offer.If you study the region, the offer of about $6.00 is about average ” Union and management agree on one aspect of the strike: it has been a civilized conflict.“This is a small town,” says Choquette It’s like a family.Everybody knows everybody.And even if there was fighting on the picket line, the guys deciding the issues are 325 miles away (in Torrington Connecticut).They would never even know about it.It wouldn’t make any difference ” Full production at the Bedford plant represents well below one per cent of the company's total.Torrington employs approximately 15,000 workers around the world at peak production.Ia*ss than 100 are employed at the Bedford factory, which makes bearings for cars and trucks, “and everything from airplanes to refrigerators.We make bearings for everything that rolls,” says Bedard.4176861 T 176861 76861 $50,000.$1,0ÜÜ7 6861 ti $100.861 $25.61 $10.Number

on waste time bomb' MONTREAL (CP) Despite citizen opposition to the building of a toxic waste plant near Montreal, Bernard Harvey, Quebec’s deputy environment minister, says the provincial government should be ready soon to decide on a site for the proposed $30-million facility.Public hearings ended last week and a report on the hearings will be completed within a month.A technical evaluation of the two sites under consideration will be Le Devoir blasts Mulroney mill closing MONTREAL (CP) — Brian Mulroney, president of the Iron Ore Co.of Canada, is at odds with Le Devoir and the president of Quebec’s Desjardins credit union federation over his company’s plans to close an iron pellet mill in Sept-Iles, Que.The row began with an series of analyses published earlier this month by Le Devoir regarding the proposed shutdown, which threatens to stifle the economic health of the north shore of the Gulf of St.Lawrence, once a booming region.Iron Ore said last month the plant closing and subsequent layoffs were necessary because of softness in the international steel trade, but Le Devoir noted the company was starting negotiations with the United Steelworkers union shortly after its announcement.Le Devoir also described the company as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a United States firm which had been getting hefty profits recently and not putting them back into the north shore economy.On Tuesday, a letter from Mulroney appeared on the newspaper’s editorial page.“The articles do not give a very flattering picture of the company’s senior management,” Mulroney wrote.“As far as your reporter is concerned, we are all front men whose strings are constantly being pulled by a big foreign boss.‘SEVERE, ERRONEOUS’ “The judgement is severe.It is also totally erroneous.” Stating that the reporter had “missed some fine occasions to become aware of the truth,” Mulroney said the many Canadian officers of the company had “nothing to learn from a journalist more attracted by his preconceived ideas than by the facts.” Later Tuesday, Alfred Rouleau, president of the credit union federation, told a businessmen's group in Sept-Iles thgt Iron Ore’s actions in laying off nearly 1,000 workers within a year were “disturbing and even immoral.” Rouleau is a strong Quebec nationalist and the Desjardins movement he heads — a major Quebec financial institution — was founded in part in an effort to keep French-Canadian savings and capital out of the hands of the largely English-Canadian banks.Rouleau said Quebecers were all too willing to accept an economic role as mere providers of raw, material to be processed elsewhere and that development should be better balanced.Such balanced development in Sept-Iles, he said, should be conducted in cooperation with labor and the rest of the area’s population under “native” management.Rouleau’s comments were picked up by Clement Godbout, the steelworkers’ assistant provincial director, who also commented unfavorable on the refusal of the company to reinvest its profits in Sept-Iles.On Saturday, Le Devoir reported Mulroney had written a letter to Rouleau which termed his statements "clumsy and insulting interference” in Iron Ore’s affairs and "as pretentious as they were shattering.” Weather Partly sunny today with moderate winds at times.There will be a chance of showers during the evening Tuesday, mainly cloudy with moderate

dustries have been ordered to store their chemical waste products until the disposal plant is in operation.There is only one chemical incinerator in the province to handle the 155.3 million litres of waste churned out by 5,0,0 industries.Last year, Quebec’s leading science magazine, Quebec-Science, warned that parts of the province are sitting on a toxic time-bomb because of lax enforcement of standards for chemical waste disposal.The magazine also charged that many toxic wastes are being disposed »f in illegal dumps.The si:es being considered for thi new plant are Blainvilte 30 kilometres

make it look as if Premier William Davis is worried about the Liberal threat On Sunday, Smith charged that Davis was afraid of a televised debate because it “would mitigate against his re-election he knows it’s something he couldn’t win.” On Saturday, the Liberal Party leader took delight in accusing Davis of having assigned a Progressive Conservative party worker to follow him and monitor his speeches “He’s assigned a shadow to follow me around and listen to what I say,” said Smith “But it’ll keep him abreast of progressive and modern thoughts here in Ontario.” Smith’s comment on the television debate came after Davis told reporters Sunday that his conditions for such a debate had not been met.Following an address to a meeting of Lithuanian-Cana-dians in Toronto, Davis said he hadn’t changed his position on the conditions for a leaders’ debate before the March 19 provincial election.Davis said Friday he would participate in a debate only if it was held early in the campaign and all three major television networks in Ontario — CBC, CTV and Global — were involved.CFTO, CTV’s flagship station in Toronto, said it wouldn’t enter into a joint production with Global.“I gather that as of last night (Saturday) there has been no agreement (between the networks),” Davis said.“The conditions have not been met.” Asked if that meant there would not be a debate, Davis said: “Not that I know of.” Smith, who also attended the Lithuanian meeting, said later the Saturday deadline was ‘ ‘simply trumped up” by Davis.“He decided Friday to announce a deadline of Saturday when the discussions hadn’t even begun,” Smith said.“It should be no business of Mr.Davis how the networks resolve their disputes We should simply respond to an invitation and it’s up to the networks to decide how they’ll cover the debate.” NewsjnJjrjef Police find 17th Atlanta victim Schreyer second in teen pageant ATLANTA (AP) — Eleven-year-old Jeffery Lamar Mathis, last seen almost a year ago when he

earthquake-stricken mountain villages huddled in cars and trucks Sunday following the strongest tremor in southern Italy since the massive shock last November, but freezing temperatures drove them inside later in the day, civilian authorities said.A slight tremor hit the area Sunday night, said to measure between 3 and 4 on the Richter scale.No injuries or damages were reported, but scores of

rattled much of the northwestern U.S.may have been the result of fault line changes triggered by Mount St.Helens’ devastating eruption last spring, a geophysicist says.The May 18 eruption of the

The Empire Tobacco Company of Granby boasted that they had “the biggest and best 5c, 10c and 15c plugs in Canada.” Young men were cautioned not to worry over nervous debility or loss of manhood but to write at once to The Voltair Company in Marshall, Mich, for their Electro-Voltair Belt which, when worn, promised instant and permanent cure.For the less aggressive who might fear “the dangerous use of internal medicine or the application of the knife” a cure could be effected promptly by simply reading Doctor Culwell’s Celebrated Essay directing young men to a cheap, private and radical cure for their ailment.There was even a concession to male vanity; ir a letter to the J.C.Ayer Company, George Yellett of T.iomson, Md.wrote, “I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor for a great many years and although I am past 80 years of age, I have not a grey hair in my head.” Even in 1886 Women’s Lib was alive and well.A letter from a lady to the paper’s editor rebels against the fact that women were expected to “keep the men’s linen white, with the necessary number of buttons attached; to give them love and comfort, make them a fire of neatness and cheerfulness to sit by.” She states that when all this plus “the cooking, washing, ironing and keeping the house in order is done, the man is not one to turn around and say 'thank you, that is nicely done’.That would be too much trouble for him, would make a woman feel too well.” The most surprising feature of these old papers was the amount of space given to advertisements for medicines and remedies.Scott’s Emulsion was presented under two headings, Consumption and Rheumatism.For consumption they stated quite reasonably that the disease “was a destruction of the lung by a germ precisely as mouldy cheese was caused by a germ.” The advertisement went on to say that by taking their emulsion one’s vigor would be renewed; returned strength would kill the germ and thus cure the body of consumption.On rheumatism, the manufacturers of this medicine felt that the disease might or might not be caused by failure of the stomach and bowels to do their work.“ If it is, you cure it, if not, it will do no harm.” Another one begged the public not to hesitate if the stomach was out of order but to simply send for Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to cleanse the bowels and stimulate the liver."Nature’s Cure” was advertised as the cheapest < $1 for 200 doses) and best family medicine known.It guaranteed absolute cures for constipation, indigestion, female complaints, kidney disorders and all blood related diseases.This could be obtained in Granby, Quebec from W.C.Herrington, Gen’l.Manager for the National Drug Company of Washington, D C.Certainly there seems to have been little need to suffer from any malady in those good old days.Infallible cures were advanced for Fits (Doctor H.G.Root of New York), Yasai Zuto Neuralgia Tablets < no cure, no pay ), Pleasant-to-Take Worm Powders and a strict warning that “no toilet is complete without Pond's Extract to relieve itching and irritation.” Even then politics played a part - all candidates and voters, both Liberal and Conservative, were advised to keep their voices up to concert pitch during an election year.“For this purpose, it is advisable to go to A.E Duberger's and purchase for 25 cents a bottle of Wild Cherry Balsam.” How simple things seem in retrospect.How innocent the Cherry Balsam.Forest fire fighters take no rest ST.GREGOIRE (JM) — Gale force winds were howling and snow was swirling as Jean Paul Racine and Maurice Vanchesteing explained the role of La Société de Conservation du Sud du Quebec to mayors of smaller municipalities in Iberville county - proof patent that forest fire prevention is an ongoing year-round effort.Racine, the chief inspector for the Levis-based society, outlined the origin of the seven non-profit organizations which came into being in 1972 and are responsible for all forest fire protection in the province from the 45th to the 53rd parallel.“The areas north of that consist of taiga and tundra and are the responsibility of the Ministry of Lands and Forests,” he said “Our area comprises 3,971,666 hectares and almost 1,200 have been destroyed by fire over the past nine years," he continued "We have 40 full-time employees all equipped with vehicles to protect our area and they are empowered to hire all the personnel necessary to combat any forest fire.Furthermore our inspectors are able to call in a water bomber if they deem the conflagration is sufficiently dangerous.” Funding such projects became visible in the eyes of the civic officials when Vanchesteing.who is based in Cowansville and responsible for 14 counties from Lake Memphremagog through to the New York border at Fort Dundee as well as Vaudreuil-Soulanges and Re Perrot, stepped in.“Any forest lots larger than 800 hectares come under our jurisdiction and must become members of our society.They are assessed on a pro-rata basis and it is through such assessments that we are funded.The Ministry of Energy and Resources and the Society rely on the collaboration of municipalities to provide protection for lots smaller than 800 hectares.Each municipality has various forms of wooded areas which deserve adequate protection “To better provide a communications link we are requesting your cooperation in naming local inspectors whom we will properly mandate.They will be responsible for informing us of any fires in their district and taking the first steps to assure its control La Société will pay all fire protection costs, and that includes manpower at rates established in conjunction with the provincial government.In short there is no cost to the municipalities.” Racine then pointes out the municipal inspectors would be responsible for issuing burning permits which include grass fires A lively discussion ensued and finally * Record Perry Beaton Some rocked around the clock Rocking choir chomp Doris Block was the star at the Sher-Lenn 50-plus annual Rock-a-Thon held on Saturday.Mrs.Black, centre, rocked for eight hours without a rest.Tables at the day-long event featured arts and crafts and a bake sale.Townships talk SHERBROOKE (AR) — The Eastern Townships Construction Association has elected a new board of directors for 1981 and they are as follows: Robert Nolet, president, Michel Le Prohon, 1st vice-president, Eugene Francoeur, 2nd vice-president, Berlin Desrosiers, secretary and Jacques Chabot, treasurer.GRANBY ( MR) — Les Petits Chanteurs de Granby are looking for all past members of the group to take part in (heir 50th anniversary festivities, May 1981.Claude Daigneault, owner and editor of the French weekly Lc Regional heads the committee set up for the celebrations.Founded in 1931 by Reverend Brother Julien of the Sacred Heart Community, the choral group has many senior citizens.Past members living in the Eastern Townships are invited to send their name and address to the organization committee, at 15 Robitaille Street, Granby.SU! mu» ¦ i'm'.' 1 Hi Photo Andrew Lé^k Orange crush takes award After being postponed due to lack of snow, through the grounds Friday.Orange House the Alexander Galt winter carnival finally students display the trophy they won for the aot underway last week with a anla parade best float in the parade — Orange Crush, GRANBY (AR) — The Irwin Tack Shop in Granby burned to the ground Sunday morning but the owners plan to rebuild as soon as possible.The fire began around 3:30 a m.and had completely levelled the building by 7 a m.About $500,000 worth of inventory was lost in the blaze.The owner’s brother-in-law, Larry Hill of Lennoxville, says he believes plans to rebuild are already underway.The cause of the fire is as yet undetermined but it is thought it may have started in the furnace.The tack shop employed about four fulltime people.• MONTREAL (CP) — Three more Parti Québécois candidates were nominated during the weekend in preparation for the next provincial election.Carmen Juneau, defeated by the Liberals in Johnson riding in a byelection last November, was renominated as her party’s candidate in the Eastern Townships riding.Claude Martel, mayor of the small Gaspe town of Caplan, was nominated as PQ candidate in Bonaventure riding, and Michel Leduc, an executive member of the parly's national council, was chosen to run in the suburban Laval riding of Fabre.SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) - Sylvain Delage, 18, of Granby, entered no plea at his arraignment on charges of breaking and entering and theft in dwellings in Bromont on October 20, 1980, January 15, and January 28, to wil-full property damage causing $28,000 in destruction to two homes and arson in another dwelling.Claude Hamann chose jury trial and preliminary hearing took place last week Judge Luc Trudel upheld the Crown’s motion for preventative detention and Delage was remanded in custody pending a bail hearing.Bromont Police Chief Real Ouimet said four juveniles were apprehended in conjunction with the crimes following raids in Granby.“The public must be protected,” Judge Luc Trudel told John Ix'gatt prior to fining him $300 and costs plus 60 days in jail.The Farnham resident pleaded guilty to charges of impaired driving and refusal to submit to a breathalyser test on January 14 and to a charge of impaired driving when he had consumed .150 mgs of alcohol on February 7."He has prior convictions for similar offences in 1975, 1976,1978,1979 and now two in less than a month," Crown attorney Claude Noiseux said "Even though he was not served with a notice of recidivism I have no alternative than insisting on a fine of $200 and costs, plus 90 days on each charge as there is ample evidence these are not isolated acts " Claude Hamann argued the fines and a jail term would be a double penalty, then asked the court to impose a discontinued term of imprisonment to allow his client to retain his job Judge Trudel demurred and noted he could impose fines of up to $1.000 plus six months imprisonment before he fined Legalt $100 and costs on each count and 60 days, con current on each charge He allowed the accused 60 days to pay the fines and costs, in default to three months addi-botiat Too much bench time slows you down Get active.Got in shape and put yourself in the clear Fitness is fun.Try some.PdRTiripatTion 4j vnon^r it was pointed out a properly built barbeque or a fire for a corn boil did not require such permits.The mayors were presented with a suggested bylaw which roused the ire of one when he noted fireworks were to be prohibited and took great exception.“How will we be able to properly celebrate St.Jean Baptiste without fireworks,” he protested.He was mollified when it was suggested they could be permitted if they were ignited by a properly accredited technician.The municipal officials thanked Racine and Vanchesteing and assured them of their future full and entire collaboration The process continued the following evening with a similar meeting in Vercheres.La Quotidienne £ WINNING .;ij & NUMBER £ 1 4-4-6 I 'mi Bon\ .Marché / \l 21 Depot WAREHOUSE CLOSED TO Re-Open Wed., Feb.18, 9 a.m.for the gigantic Spring Fabrics Sale!

it pays “grants in lieu of taxes.” In Ottawa, it’s a big bill, since the government is the biggest landowner — including Parliament Hill, the Central Experimental Farm, dozens of office blocks and public lands.At one point, former mayor Lorry Greenberg got so mad he threatened to cut Parliament’s water supply.Then the feds relented a bit and agreed to add previously-excluded federal properties to the grants-in-lieu payment system.But now city officials, wrestling with the budget, say the feds have agreed to pay only $33 million of the $43 million the city expected for 1980.If the same thing happens this year, they say they’ll be short close to $12 million in expected revenue.To help bridge the gap, they’ve devised such ploys as a 20-per-cent increase in parking fines, producing an estimated $116,000.So now everybody’s angry — the feds, city officials, taxpayers and motorists.When journalist Doug Ix>ng first arrived in Iran more than a year ago and dropped in for a first meeting with Ambassador Ken Taylor in the Canadian Embassy, the ambassador offered Long a bottle of rye, concealed in a green plastic garbage bag.It was a grand offer in a country where drinking is banned and embassies have the only legal supplies of booze.But the punishment for possession of liquor is terrible and London, there on assignment for The Canadian Press, declined.He could always, he thought, drop in for a drop when the need arose.But what he didn’t know — and Taylor couldn’t tell him — was that there weren’t going to be any tomorrows as far as the embassy was concerned.Under great secrecy, Taylor quietly closed the embassy the next day and flew off with his colleagues and six American hostages who had escaped and been sheltered by the Canadians.It meant a long dry spell for Long.But recently, at an Ottawa press party, colleagues made up for it.They presented Long with a bottle of rye.In a green plastic garbage bag.If Tory Bill Yurko’s party loyalty fell into question when he announced he’d break party ranks and back the government’s constitutional package, it was further challenged when he rose in the House sporting a rose in his lapel — just like Prime Minister Trudeau.He quickly explained it was a gift from his wife and staff to mark his 55th birthday.And, he said, he had no choice in the color.Understandably, they couldn’t find a rose in Tory blue.So they chose red, which happens to be the official color of the Liberal party.When the posh “secret restaurant” was discovered flourishing last December on the sixth floor of Parliament’s South Block, it was generally rumored to be an exclusive establishment open only to a selected list of senior Commons officials.Now senior Commons officials say it isn’t so.It’s a creation of convenience, they say, and anyone entitled to eat at the main Parliamentary Restaurant in the Centre Block may sup subsidized fare at the new eatery.Full meals are about $3 in the restaurants, and about $1.50 in government cafeterias.At the time, then auditor-general J.J.Macdonell was mystified how funds for the restaurant, with deep brown carpets and velvet furniture, had been approved, and Speaker Jeanne was said to be displeased.Reporters armed with Parliamentary Press Gallery passes, which entitle them to use the main restaurant reserved also for senators and MPs, were turned away.One said they were told there were 100 names on a list of those entitled to use the 80-seat restaurant.But at a recent Commons committee Maj.-Gen.Gus Cloutier, sergeant-at-arms, said the idea was to serve senior officials who might otherwise be delayed in queues at the building’s cafeteria.Also, it would take some strain off the main restaurant.There never was a membership list, he said.The story of the list, another official! said, grew out of the efforts of Cloutier I and his staff to “direct traffic” — tol encourage officials in the South Blockl to eat there and senators and MPs toj eat at the main restaurant.“We were only thinking of! everybody’s convenience,” he said.Journalism student Lorraine Chan of! Victoria, who had never seen Prime! Minister Trudeau, got a chance to sit in I on his weekly press conference and! then met him at the door afterwards! when he stopped for a chat.“Young reporters are the best ones,” he said, patting her on the head.[ “Before they get cynical.” The issue of God in the constitution continues to trouble the politicians even though the question seemed to be settled when the Liberal majority rejected a Progressive Conservative amendment.The Tories, supported by the New Democratic Party, would have acknowledged the supremacy of God in the preamble to charter of rights.Now Senator Jack Austin, a Liberal from Vancouver, seems to be | suggesting the question is not closed.“My view is that the Tories are trying to downgrade God,” he said, giving assurance that “we'll put Him in the right place at the right time.” Small town, big problem Living in a small town has its pros and cons.Strikers at Bedford’s Torrington Industries are finding out the hard way.There are few secrets in a small town.Everybody from the plant manager to the maintenance man belongs to the same curling club, shops at the same grocery store, sends their children to the same school.The union negotiator refers to the boss by his first name.Strikers and management work side by side on the local volunteer fire department.So, happily a conflict like the four-month strike can remain peaceful.Nobody wants to fight with his brother-in-law over a clause in a collective agreement.You can’t hit your boss over the head with a picket sign or turn over his car in the afternoon, and play pool with him or go to his daughter’s shower in the evening.This is an advantage the rural or small town worker and manager have over their big-city counterparts.But industries in small towns are typically owned and controlled by outside interests.This is more so in the case of a marginal economic region like the Eastern Townships, and Bedford is no exception.Torrington is controlled by Torrington Industries of Torrington, Connecticut, U S.A., which is owned by Ingersoll-Rand.an American-controlled giant.Decisions are made by an anonymous employer far away.Chances are the people dictating the company’s offer to the striking production workers have never even been to Bedford, and they can hardly expect to grasp the local implications of their actions.So, an issue which could be easily understood and accepted by a local management sensitive to local needs can remain a stumbling block in the way of agreement.When politicians talk about gaining control of our resources, this is the kind of problem they want to eliminate.Its workers are any company’s most precious resource.If the workers’ fates are being determined hundreds or thousands of miles away, their community can only be helpless

Cassidy Cemetery, Ste.Elizabeth de Warwick Cemetery and the Baptist Cemetery.The first-mentioned is well endowed and properly looked after whereas the second w as plowed under some 40 or so years ago and the tombstones used for doorsteps by some of the local farmers.The Baptist Cemetery, which lies on the outskirts of Kingsey Falls, was rescued from destruction some 25 years ago.At that time it was badly overgrown with brush and small trees A neighbour's sow had her piglets in the cemetery and overturned some of the stones Several men in the village did the work of clean- ing out the brush, plowing the ground, and resetting the stones.A small amount of | money was raised that allowed a new fence with a gate to be built.In this old cemetery lie | the bones of Rev.Truesdell who was the guiding light behind the building of the first church in Kingsey Falls circa 1860 — the Baptist Church.The fence is now di-1 lapidated and the grounds go unmowed.The Danville Cemetery Company has promised to undertake the responsibility of keeping this bit of Townships heritage in perpetual care if $2,500 can be raised So far I have accumulated approximately $1,950, leaving a balance of $550.I

hostages from Iran unfortunately has not defused the Iranian crisis The captive Americans were merely pawns in a far more deadly struggle for control of the Persian Gulf Here are the frightening facts that now confront President Reagan - Iran dominates the Persian Gulf, which is the source of most of the western world's oil Yet this strategic land has fallen into the hands of fanatics who have brought the government to the brink of chaos Their ruling ayatollah, who looks like the Wrath of Allah, with blazing black eyes and a fierce pontifical scowl, is viciously anti-American A devotee of purposeful suffering, he has dramatized the vulnerability of the mighty United States before the powerless zealot - The nearby Soviets are expected to slide across the great divide into oil dependence later this year.In a desperate attempt to increase their Jack Anderson production, they injected water into some oil fields but merely flooded the wells and damaged the under structure Now the weakening of Iran has presented the Soviets with an opportunité to move in on the Persian Gulf oil region They have positioned 23 divisions near the Iranian border and are effectively fanning the propaganda fires throughout the area.- With the Red Army in Afghanistan and surrogate Cuban forces in South Yemen and Ethiopia, the Kremlin has thrown a ring of steel around the Persian Gulf oil region Thus the Soviets “could curtail access to the oil that is required by the United States and its allies.’ warns a secret Pentagon study -• Jimmy Carter established the far-flung, multi-service Rapid Deployment Force to protect our oil lifeline Yet top military hands warn it not only is crippled by interservice rivalry hut could never he a match for the Soviet juggernaut across the Iranian border Its Marine commander.Gen PX Kelly, had admitted in classified testimony lhat the Rapid Deployment Force would be no more than a trip wire" against the Soviets The contingency plan calls for a nuclear strike to stop the Soviets from annihilating the force According to Kelly's secret test! mony.the force might be used to seize oil fields, most likely in Iran ’’ Yet the Defense Intelligence Agency has warned that any IÎ.S.military operation against Iran would likely trigger Soviet intervention The Joint Chiefs have added their opinion, also classified, that the Soviets can now be expected to take greater risks to achieve their goals - Indeed, the Joint Chiefs foresee a period of particular danger to American security interests in the early 1980s The possibilities of a military confrontation with the Soviet Union w ill increase significantly in the first half of the decade - What also worries the Joint Chiefs is the susceptibility of U S allies and non-aligned nations to yield to political intimidation by the Soviet Union The oil caliphs in particular, fearful of Soviet militarv power and uncertain of U S protec lion, might seek an accomodation with the Kremlin I would add to this dark picture one other cloud Throughout the oil crisis that certainly lies ahead, the corporate oil giants will be pulling wires in Washington They have demonstrated their ability in the past to manipulate U S policy to advance their own selfish ends Yet the oil companies have a history in the Mid- dle East of unreliability, criminality and dubious loyalty During the last Arab f raeh war in 1973 the chairmen of Exxon Texa co Mobil and Standard Oil of Califor ma dispatched a secret hand-delivered memo to Alexander Haig in the White House The memo warned bluntly against

and Dennis Dwyer; and from four candidates for the Ministry, Arlen Bonnar, Gayle Chouinard, Sandra Mc-Lauchlan and Doreen Moffat.Important items of new business were: the appointment of a committee to a study on ways to decrease the cost of heating the church, and the raising of our allocation to the Mission and Service Fund, for the year 1981.Mr.Coughlin announced that the Graduation Ceremonies of

Alan: “I see that your son Jim, playing with Dr.John Fisher of Dallas, finished a very close second to Hans Kreyns and Bob Slavenborg of the Netherlands in the 1966 Olympiad.’’ Oswald: 'It was very close.A mere eight match points after 280 boards.There was a lot of luck involved.Both pairs had their full share, but Jim gives this hand to show how a brilliant bidding decision by Slavenborg gave the Dutch pair 33 out of a possible 34 match points on a key hand in the finals ’’ Alan: "That was skill.The luck came when the Dutch held the North-South cards so they could use their skill ” Oswald: ‘West opened a trump against the three-club contract.East took his ace and led a trump back to dummy’s king.Kreyns discarded a diamond on the ace of hearts, ruffed back to his hand, drew West's last trump and played spades.He still had to lose four spade tricks for down one since he ran out of trumps before getting to clear the suit ” Alan: ‘What a brilliant pass.I can see other North-South pairs landing in game or maybe slam and going down for telephone numbers.’’ (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)
