Gobeil told the audience, which included Revenue Minister Raynald Frechette and Deputy Speaker Real Rancourt.She said the council, composed of the region's businessmen and politicians, will establish priorities for developing the Eastern Townships' economy and will lobby politicians to develop those sectors."There isn't a government that won t agree w ith us," she said Gobeil also announced the start of a campaign to raise $30,000 this year The money will help companies or in dividuals prepare preliminary studies on Eastern Townships markets, she said, adding that the fund should bring more jobs and investment to the region.The Quebec government will give the council matching funds up to a maximum of $30,000.Frechette, 1’Q MNA for Sherbrooke, also took the opportunity to explain the government's nationalization policy.• We want to make sure that raw materials are converted here.But that is not necessarily synonymous with nationalizing everything called natural resources," he said, referring to the provincial government's attempt to take over Asbestos Corporation, now owned by General Dynamics, an American company.He added that the Quebec government still may set up an industrial credit program to lend money to small and medium size companies at low interest rates Gobeil stressed that all regions in the Eastern Townships will be represented on the council Parizeau: Token fees would discourage waste You’d better quit reading the business section.We re out of Kleenex.' MONTREAL (CP) — In a tough-talking address Monday, Quebec Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau warned that his government’s plan to fight waste could include token payments for medical services, now free under the province's health insurance plan.But he admitted that the proposdal, made during a luncheon speech to the Canadian Club, was a hypothesis and that it won’t ve introduced into the current budget, to be debated this month in the national assembly."We have to avoid a (price on health services) such that people couldn't afford them," he told a news conference after the speech."But on the other hand we have to avoid waste.” Unlike their colleagues in other parts of Canada, Quebec doctors are not allowed extra-billing — charging patients in addition to payments from the government — and there are no opting-out provisions that allow physicians to leave the government plan Contributions to the plan are paid by the federal government and by employ- ers.Parizeau said Monday that there is no question of introducing extra bill ing but it might be useful to bring in a “token or nominal” fee to deter "over consumption”.PLAN HEALTHY When asked why a token fee is necessary in light of the plan’s apparently sound financial health — figures two years ago showed the medical plan was running a surplus in the hundreds of millions of dollars — he answered : "We re not talking here of a balanc ing of accounts but of wastage and there is a very clear wastage.” In a speech that drew sporadic bursts of applause from the audience of 400, Parizeau also spoke of a growing public awareness that governments are taxing too much and providing tin) little “There s a burden on the taxpayer who's married with two children, a house, a mortgage In our society, his son is taken care of, his father is taken care of, and he pays through the nose.“At one point, " he said to a chorus of appreciative cheers from the largely middle aged audience, “the guys in the middle won't be numerous and they’re paying for everything." CBC holds out as unions walk HHOIO/JOHN McCAGHhY A fire in some french fries set the fire which gutted this Cowansville apartment building yesterday.Nine left homeless by kitchen fire TORONTO (CP) — CBC radio and television operations, already severely hampered by a Canada wide strike of 2,100 technicians, were to be hit even harder today as CBC workers affiliated with three other unions planned to walk off the job in support of the technicians.The Canadian Union of Public Employees, the Canadian Wire Service Guild and the Association of Canadian Television and Radio Artists asked their members to stage a 24-hour walkout beginning at midnight Monday night.However, CBC spokesman Cec Smith said the extent of the walkout would not be determined until after scheduled day Porn reaction mounts MONTREAL (CP) — More than 325,000 people across Quebec have signed a petition urging all levels of government to clamp down on the sale of pornographic material to minors.“The petition indicates a public will which must be turned into a political will,” said Sheila Finestone, outgoing president of the Quebec Federation of Women, which initiated the petition a year and a half ago.On Monday about 500 people, mostly women, attended a conference on the issue sponsored by the federation.“It is not a matter of censorship,” Finestone said.“It is a protest against a form of violence we no longer wish to tolerate ” The federation wants the government to ban the sale of pornographic publications in stores other than sex shops — or to order the merchandise kept out of sight Existing laws relating to the sale, display or advertising of pornographic material are not enforced, the group stated in its petition The petition also proposed minors be forbidden entry to sex shops, and a crackdow n on the use of minors hired to pose for pornographic publications or to work as nude dancers in bars and cabarets.shifts began.“We re going to maintain service on radio and television with management and supervisory personnel regardless of what happens,” Smith said “It may be a reduced service but there will be a service.” CBC’s English-language radio and TV networks have been providing reduced service since last Thursday after the technicians, members of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, walked out for the third time this month.The technicians, without a contract since last July, have been in a legal strike position for several weeks The most recent contract talks broke off Sunday when the two sides failed to agree on proposals to allow CBC to contract out work to independent producers.The decision on taking part in the 24 hour walkout was left to individual members of the other unions, chief NABET negotiator Bryon Lowe said Monday He said a decision last week by the British Columbia Federation of Labor to prevent the other unions from crossing picket lines beginning today was instrumental in the NABET call for support.“We’ve been asking for the people to respect the picket lines since Day 1.’ he said.“But we felt (today) would be an appropriate time to seek a demonstration of support from the unions across the country * Kl ( ORO/ANIHONY ROSS New Université de Sherbrooke rector Claude Hamel: He must work as a community.Vice-rector Hamel to head U de S By Anthony Ross SHERBROOKE Faced with an $8.7 million deficit, the University of Sherbrooke has chosen vice-rector and former graduate Claude Hamel to succeed outgoing rector Yves Martin Hamel, Hi, is presently the univer sity’s budget director and will assume his new responsibilities June I The new rector was chosen after an exhaustive search by the selection committee which spent over 300 hours going through a list of 33 candidates.The final decision was arrived at only yesterday afternoon after the list had been pared down to four candidates The other three men who made up the committee’s final short list were Aldee Cabana, dean of the faculty of science, Jacques I’lamondon, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Lucien Vachon, Dean of the Faculty of Education.Passengers overpower Turkish hijackers SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) - Passengers aboard a hijacked Turkish jetliner overpowered two armed air pirates in a hastily planned escape at a Black Sea resort airport Monday, freeing all 91 captives aboard plane, authorities said The two Turkish gunmen and four passengers were wounded Five Americans, all bankers employed by the New York-based Citibank, were un harmed The dramatic escape at Burgas came after one of the two air pirates fell or was pushed from the plane after he lost his gun in the scuffle with the passengers, and in the midst of gunfire from the remaining armed hijacker, the Bulgarian news agency BTA said.Earlier, BTA said, authorities had enticed two other gunmen off the plane with a promise they could make statements to reporters The end to the nearly 30-hour hijacking was concocted by the pilot and passengers in a hid to save the Americans, two Japanese and a French hostage on board.U.S.officials said.The selection committee deliberated all day at the Mount Orford Arts Centre before making their choice about 4 p m.When Hamel was introduced to the press at five p m.he had only learned of his appointment an hour before.He said he was very shocked at his selection and hadn’t had time to evaluate the situation completely.Hamel was born in Victoriaville and received his Bachelor of Arts from Séminaire de Sherbrooke in 1954.He completed his Bachelor of Science in 1959 at the University of Sherbrooke and his Masters of Applied Science at l.aval in 1984 For the next 10 years Hamel held a series of teaching posts in the Faculty of Applied Science at the University of Sherbrooke and was named vice rector in charge of academics in 1973.From 1975 until the present, Hamel lias been vice-rector in charge of administration at the university, which includes overseeing the budget.When he was asked if he would make any immediate or drastic changes at the university Hamel said he didn’t believe he would or could because of budgetary restrictions placed on the institution by Quebec.“It will be very difficult to do anything drastic about the deficit because of the politics involved as I explained last week at the budget meeting,” said Hamel.“The university is entering a new phase in its operation with all these austerity controls and we will have to learn to adjust.” Hamel said that although the position of rector is very important, one man cannot run a university on his own.“The university is a community and the rector has to work within that community," he said.‘Stubborn’ Mountie quits, alleges meddling By John McCaghey COWANSVILLE - A kitchen fire gutted the interior of a two-storey

self-described “'stubborn Newfoundlander” from Stephenville.announced Sunday he was resigning from the force after 14 years because he was ordered to abandon his investigation into the finances of

repaid about $100,000 in debts to four banks at 25 cents on the dollar, said his resignation should serve to “emphasize the process by which my superiors dropped this case — not only this case but other cases ” He referred to a case in the Yukon where S Sgt.George Wool has said he intends to go court to determine whether a [Milice officer is the authority in deciding whether to press charges.C HARGES NOT LAID Wool said he had been ordered by superiors in Ottawa not to press charges against an unidentified Yukon politician, but if the court rules in his favor, he will press the charges himself Following the investigation, Nova Scotia Attorney-General Harry How said no charges would be laid against Thornhill, who had denied any wrongdoing How said at the time he received the

decided independently not to go ahead with charges against Thornhill House said officers have tried to persuade him to remain on the force but his decision, which becomes effective July 3, is final. 2 TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1981 Commons pays tribute to Lewis’s political skills OTTAWA (CP) — David Lewis, the former leader of the New Democratic Party who died Saturday at the age of 71, was a man of passionate commitment who knew working people and believed in their right to improve their lot, speakers for all three parties in the House of Commons said Monday Deputy Prime Minister Allan MacEachen said Lewis, N’DP leader from 1971 to 1975, “found the fullest expression of his ideas and idealism” in Parliament Lewis was a passionate socialist during the “hard-slogging and frugal years,” MacEachen said He praised Lewis’s political skills and said he “knew every detail of the cost of every victory he had won because he paid the cost with his own hard work.” Prime Minister Trudeau, Opposition Leader Joe Clark and NDP Leader Ed Broadbent were all absent from the House on Monday.Both Trudeau and Clark were in Montreal for private meetings, while Broadbent was returning from El Salvador.A funeral for Lewis, who died after a long battle with leukemia, will be held today Flora MacDonald, external affairs minister during the former Progressive Conservative government, said Lewis spent years in union halls, mining communities and fishing villages before he came to Parliament.“He could argue their (working peoples’) cases passionately and persuasively,” said the MP for Kingston and the Islands.“He could do it because he knew them so well.” "His work in this House and elsewhere is his lasting legacy to Canada.” Both noted that Lewis, who was born in Poland and came to Canada in 1921, had set an example by mastering both of Canada's official languages.Lewis’s lifelong friend Stanley Knowles, the NDP House leader, said Lewis “was a warm and devoted , family man.” Knowles said Lewis, a Rhodes scholar and a lawyer, could have been a success at anything he decided to try.“But he believed so deeply in the right of the common people to improve their lot that he literally gave his life to them.” He called on the House to “celebrate a life well lived " Later, the Canadian Labor Congress president.Dennis McDermott, said: ‘‘David Lewis has left a giant imprint not only on the Ne^ Democratic Party, of which he w'as one of the major architects and whose destiny he guided for such a long time, butalso onCanada as», whole.He was a greaV man in every sense of the word.One producer News-in-brief goes metric Assault felon jailed OTTAWA (CP) - Only one Canadian manufacturer responded to government suggestions that it might be profitable to move into metric scale manufacturing, Small Business Minister Charles Lapointe said Monday.The government began trying to convince businessmen five years ago they would be wise to capitalize on the approaching conversion to metric by grocery stores, he told the Commons However, only one Ontario manufacturer took up the suggestion.“I don’t know why,” Lapointe said, although he speculated that perhaps businessmen thought there would not be enough even tual sales to make the initial investment worthwhile.However, responding to opposition criticism that most new metric scales will have to be bought outside the country when grocery stores convert to metric in January, Lapointe said the government has done all it could “I don’t feel we should have to take them by the hand,” Earlier.Nelson Riis, New Democratic Party small business critic, suggested Industry Minister Herb Gray be awarded the “sell-out Canada award” for failing to encourage domestic metric scale manufacturing.” HELPING ELSEWHERE Due to the government’s metric policy, we are creating jobs in foreign companies,” said Riis, who represents the British Columbia riding of Kamloops-Shuswap.Progressive Conservative whip MP Bill Kempling criticized another aspect of the government-regulated switch from the traditional inches and pounds system to metres and kilograms.Pesticide planes dump load FREDERICTON (CP) -What goes up must come down, but sometimes it falls to earth in the wrong places.Twice in less than a week, aircraft engaged in New Brunswick's annual aerial attack against the spruce budworm have been forced to jettison their load of the chemical pesticide fenithro thion on areas where it wasn't intended II.J.Irving, managing director of Forest Protection Ltd., the Crown agency carrying out the spray program, said the incidents are “not out of the ordinary.” “We’ve got 85 airplanes in the air and whether you’ve got 85 bicycles or 85 half-ton trucks, you're going to have mechanical failure,” Irving said in an interview Monday.The latest dumping occurred Monday near Juniper, about 200 kilometres northwest of here, when a spray plane developed a crack that leaked oil on the plane’s windshield.The pilot was forced to unloaded 2,400 litres of the pesticide on an isolated wooded area.Last Wednesday, a spray plane developed landing gear problems and dumped 3,000 litres of fenithrothion on forests near the com-munitv of Knowlesville.A family in the area has since complained of discomforts and problems they say developed because of the chemical.USED SINCE 1969 Fenithrothion has been extensively used in the spray program since 1969 1 Environmentalists oppose use of the pesticide because of a possible link between emulsifiers used in it and a rare but serious children’s disease called Reye’s syn drome.Meanwhile Dave Silliphant, a spokesman for the provincial environment department, said the government does not report all incidents of pilots being forced to jettison their spray loads.“If the public wants to be notified of each instance, it could be six to 12 times during the program,” he said.“If we felt there was no ill effects from the incident we have never made a statement on it." Irving said what isn’t generally realized is “that to do a wheels up landing, the spray tank is the lowest part of the aircraft and if we had brought the plane in on its belly here at the Fredericton airport, the tank would have ruptured in the midst of the citv.’’ Weather Mainly cloudy today with showers or thundershowers later in the day.Wednesday cloudy with showers and thundershowers.High both

poisoned parts of an American community in the Niagara area — Vankoughnet said in an interview after raising the matter in the Commons.But Energy Minister Marc Lalonde said the tailings to be moved

damaged,” the institute states.CN ad blitz ‘a waste’ OTTAWA (CP) — The $64,244 Canadian National Railways spent earlier this year on newspaper advertisements to congratulate CP Rail on its main rival’s 100th anniversary was a great waste of taxpayers’ money, government whip Charles Turner said Monday.Turner, a former CN engineer who has been MP for London East since 1968, asked in a series

TUESDAY, AAAY 26, 1981 3 Syrup and sawdust BY JOHN McCAGHEY Memories of powdered Adirondacks mustard Officially it was a week of rest and relaxation but eyes and ears constantly impregnate one s mind with memories.We headed out to our beloved high hills - the Adirondacks.Once we passed the sprawling scrawl of Plattsburgh down old highway 9, golfers tried their hands on the links of the Bluff Point Country Club, the third oldest in the U S.A Lake Champlain sparkled to the left of the front nine while Mount Marcy loomed out of the sky to the right.Water coursed through the sandstone as we crossed Ausable Chasm into Keeseville then up the Ausable valley as Whiteface dominated the panorama.A quick right in Jay up towards Wilmington where fishermen were trying their luck against the wiles of brown trout in the North Branch of the Ausable - the green hatch was out and results were apparently most gratufying from the smiles and tails protruding from creels There was not a cloud in the sky when we ventured up the road to the summit of Whiteface.It was 72 in the sun but the thermometer in the tunnel leading to the Apex elevator read 281 In the sun again, the Montreal skyline was clearly etched in the distance and the bend elbow of Lake Placid shimmered below A visit to the area wouldn't be complete without a stop i at the Sportsman’s Inn in Wilmington - the venue of many a fine time some two decades ago.The memories of the late Carl Steinhoff and some of his high-jinks when he presided over his kitchen were brought back, but the present owners are carrying on his and Bertha’s fine traditions of hospitality.The 10 lb.cans of powdered mustard, however, have vanished Old friendships were renewed as we batted around some of the zanier moments of days on the bob run and other lesser sporting exploits.One thing was quickly brought home - one can buy a Canadian brewed beer and a pack of our cigarettes in New York for less than our costs including the exchange.The next day we went on to the Village of Lake Placid.The residents are just as annoyed with the Olympic deficit as we were when reality was brought home in 1976.The village is still entirely built around tourism but prices have dropped to relatively normal levels.Short of news from home we parked under the transformer outside the Placid Memorial Hospital - funded in a great part by Kate Smith - and tuned into a Montreal station.Nobody can explain the phenomena but the reception was fabulous as usual.A couple of hundred yards up the road and we went and again paid our respects to the great emancipator, John Brown of Harpers Ferry fame.The old incongruity still exists.A sign reading ‘fresh eggs and foul’ graces a farm near the entrance to the shrine which overlooks the towers for the 70 and 90 metre ski jumps.We dropped the 1,400 feet in 14 miles on our way down to Keene, stopping to admire the coach and four which was carved by a road worker in a piece of granite close to the Cascade Lakes.Hunger pangs took over so a stop at the Elm Tree Inn -the largest in the Adirondacks - was indicated.Unfortunately the old beauty succumbed to Dutch Elm disease but the butt is still in evidence - 87 inches in diameter.Monty Purdy’s match books proclaim the inn is.” located in the heart of downtown Keene!” Keene has an approximate population of about 380 including pets - yet the Purdy-burgers’ were acclaimed in a pre-olympic review in the New Yorker magazine.The only parallel we can recall was when Andre L’Are’s Au Pierrot Gourmet got similar treatment in an edition of the National Geographic prior to Expo '67.The high hills appeared to be in good hands after our brief tour, so satisfied we headed home looking forward to the next visit.City to sue Hydro Quebec for losses SHERBROOKE iCB' — City council last night authorized its lawyers to take legal action to force Hydro Quebec to set an appropriate rate for electricity sold by Hydro-Sherbrooke But Mayor Jacques O’Bready said the move had nothing to do with negotiations between the city and Hydro-Quebec over the sale of the Sherbrooke system to the provincial network."For us.this decision has nothing to do with blackmail we believe we re perfectly justified in doing this, going after our nghts ” In the past Quebec’s 20 independent electricity distributors have had the right to set their own prices, but Law 87.enacted July 1.1980.requires them to stick to the Hydro-Quebec price list.For Sherbrooke, which runs the largest such system, with 46.000 customers, the new law meant a loss in revenue of some $4 million a year.For the customers, it meant higher rates But for O’Bready, the move meant discrimination."The standardization of rates.' he said, "and the refusal by Hydro-Quebec to set an appropriate rate causes a consul erable prejudice to the City of Sherbrooke and its citizens.” The city hired a specialized law firm to assist city solicitors in studying the case.Council’s resolution outlines the history of Sherbrooke's electrical system from the turn of the century when the city built dams, transformers and power lines, which it has maintained and operated ever since Ke cently the city has had to buy current from Hydro-Quebec to supply demand w hich far exceeded Hydro-Sherbrooke’s capacity r PHOTO/MFRR1TT U II ION Robert IS'aud .boar hunting gains popularity in the Townships Brigham up in arms over boar hunt By Merritt Clifton BRIGHAM — Robert Naud’s farm on the fringe of town is fast becoming the wild-boar-hunting capital of Canada.But not all Brigham residents want to live in a good boaring community.‘‘You can’t call those boars wild animals when they’re raised in pens on a farm and come when you whistle,” protests the Reverend Norman Hillyer.“It’s just shooting tame pigs." “They are maybe tame at first," Naud counters, “when I first take them out of the pens and put them in the woods.But when they have joined the other boars arid seen one of them killed, they learn to run and hide.” Naud’s boars are much smaller than domestic pigs, but also much faster, more aggressively carniverous, and well-equipped for fighting with spiky bristles, sharp teeth and overhanging fangs.Now in his third year of breeding and raising boars, Naud got started to serve the restaurant trade.As one of only four boar producers in Quebec, he enjoys a brisk business between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but after Christmas, he discovered, his income dropped off to nothing.“I visited France last August,” he says, ‘‘and learned some tricks from boar-breeders there.’ Back home, Naud took out advertisements in Quebec Chasse & Heche, and set up as a boar-hunting outfitter.Hunters pay him $25 apiece for morn ing coffee, a big lunch, and the privilege of shooting at a boar in between.If they kill a boar, they pay “a certain amount for every pound of meat, and according to the quality of the meat .A little boar will cost them $150.A big boar might cost $500 A full-grown adult male boar would cost $800.If a hunter does not like the boars I have in the woods, he can come pick any boar out of my pen and kill it for $235.” The pen boars are eight months old, and weigh about 70 pounds, a third as much as an eight-month-old pig.Hunters use any weapons they like, from traditional English longbows to high-powered rifles with telescopic sights.Naud supplies a choice of weapons to city hunters who don’t own their own, including a muzzle-loading musket, a .22 rifle, and a 150-pound crossbow.“1 use a bow myself,” the Rev.Hillyer says, "although not to hunt with, and it has enough power all right.It can put a bolt through a half-inch of hardwood at 50 feet ” Living just across the road from Naud's hunting territory, Hillyer foresees archery accidents pos sibly endangering himself and half a dozen other close neighbors.He’s even more concerned about stray shots from the guns.The boars are a quarter-mile from the nearest houses, but a rifle bullet can carry two miles.In addition, Naud plans to expand his hunting territory to include another 20 acres of woods, even closer to the houses.But, “when I get the money, perhaps a couple of years from now, I plan to build my house right here, and my busi ness office,” Naud says, indicating a bulldozed lot right on the fringe of the boar hunting ground, only 100 yards from Hillyer’s house.Neighbors have been concerned all along that the boars might escape and attack domestic pets, cattle, or even small children, although only adult male boars are apt to challenge people Once his hunting territory is expanded to full projected size, Naud intends to keep only 10 boars in it at a time, to make the hunts more challenging.The 10 will be confined by a double row of wire mesh fences, folded along the ground to prevent tunneling — “Tin* Ixiars stand on the wire and hold it down while they try to dig,” Naud laughs The fences, like those surrounding Naud’s present pens, will also be rein forced with barbed wire and one electrified strand.After changing the odds in favor of the boars, Naud intends to keep the hunters interested by constructing a treetop shooting blind and a cabin, to accommodate overnight hunting par ties.“There’s something cowardly, disgusting, and almost immoral about all of it,” Hillyer responds.Quoting Oscar Wilde on fox-hunting, he adds, “It’s the uaspeakable pursuing the inedible.” And indeed the fanged male boars most prized by trophy-hunters are not those gourmet cooks would select Boar meat acquires a strong, gamey flavor after the animals reach sexual maturity.On the other hand, Naud’s boars live in relative freedom and almost natural conditions, unlike hogs raised for slaughter in tin barns.They enjoy a sex-life, though somewhat restricted.They do have some chance to escape the guns and arrows and survive much longer than any domestic pigs, but breeding sows.And the hunters who kill them have to help carry the carcasses out of the woods themselves.Townships talk LENNOXVTLLE (CB) A cyclist was slightly injured yesterday morning in a traffic accident in front of the Union Screet Plate building at 72 Queen St.Victim Gary Hadley, 10, of

langue française, toothless watchdog of the French Language Charter, and representatives of English-speaking Eastern Townships groups.Following is the conclusion of the report.By Charles Bury CHERRY RIVER — "Some means must be found to insulate our young from this flagellation,” said Bishop’s University principal Christopher Nicholl, in response to an emotional outburst from Conseil de la langue française board member Pierre Vadeboncoeur, who insisted at length that, in spite of progress in the last few years, the French language needed the protection of stringent laws and regulations to ensure its survival Vadeboncoeur’s reaction came near the end of a meeting last week when English-speaking Eastern Townshippers had voiced complaints that certain parts of Law 101, Quebec's Charter of the French Language, infringed on their rights and threatened the existence of the provir'’e’s English-speaking rural minority.The Conseil had earlier heard from the Townshippers’ Association, the Women’s Institutes of Region 05, the Quebec Farmers’ Association and The Quebec Young Farmers’ Association.Reverend Blake Walker spoke next on behalf of the Interdenominational Ministerial Associations of Sherbrooke and Richmond.He said the group had not prepared a formal presentation for the Conseil, but had rather come to the meeting "just to talk about it.” “I am new in Quebec,” said Walker, “I only came here three years ago from Ontario But I might not have come if my daughter had had to take her long division in French.It is hard enough in English." Walker compared the Quebec government to Christian theology "The body politic is like the body of Christ,” he said.“Sometimes politics is more ideology than allowing things to grow naturally.” Walker also read briefly from a personal mémoire to the Conseil from Sherbrooke businessman Hugh Rose, unable to attend the meeting.Rose’s brief stressed that English-speaking Quebecers' language was a right, not a privilege as often described by the present government.Rose also discussed the history of the region, pointing out that his ancestors had come here over a century ago The Association of Quebec Regional English Media (AQREM) made no formal presentation, but executive director Paul Dumont-Frenette made a strong appeal for tolerance on all sides, "1 have fought for 25 years or more for the French language." said Dumont-Frenette, long time journalist, ardent nationalist and director of professional training for Radio Canada.“But tonight I represent English interests." “The population creates the texture of a country,” he continued “And in the texture of Quebec,one of the threads is the English-speaking.The English-speaking are a rich resource for us in Quebec.” “I joined the associa! ion 'AQREM) because the papers had troublesurviving.Ten years ago there were 25 papers serving English rural Quebec.They were the life of their communities Now there are only 16.And they can't get information on laws, regulations, and policies of this government.Yet they are supposed to inform their readers on life in QUebec.How can they do this?They are run on shoe string budgets, they can't afford translators.I urge the Conseil to help us convince the Ministère des communications of the practical problems " "As the newspapers die, so do the communities they served.And I personally want to keep an English culture within the Quebec culture.My ancestors came here in 1742 We are French from one end to the other.We have the force, we must not abuse it " Conseil board member Pierre Vadeboncoeur then rose to reply to Dumont-Frenette s remarks, first such intervention of the evening “You have mentioned difficulties with the law," he said, "But there are some historical facts that connot be ignored.” "We, as a community in North America, had and still have, in spite of what my old friend Paul Dumont-Frenette says, not won the battle - I don’t think so.I remember the time when you couldn't get served in stores in some parts of Montreal in French.I remember when 100,000 signed a petition to give the Queen Elizabeth Hotel a French name, I remember campaigns for trivial things like getting a word of French on postage stamps and government cheques.We used to be second class community.The percentage of French-speaking is getting smaller in Canada year by year, we're still going downhill.So we reacted.I don't think it was unduly, but it was naturally, It's not always easy, reaction is not always just in every aspect.” "My son-in-law is from B.C.” Vadeboncoeur added “I haven’t the slightest antagonism against any people — Jews, negros.anything ” "But I wish you to understand.There is still a threat upon us.Our engineers can’t get high jobs in industry, for example We’re simply vanishing from the map even in our own Quebec.” Vadeboncoeur then voiced a long explanation of why, in his view, the Trudeau constitutional package was dan gerous.“Trudeau’s bill of rights will undermine us,” he concluded.“As long as there is not more cultural security, what can we do?I ask you.” Townshippers Association director Mike Murray of Knowlton said most English-speaking Eastern Township^ pens sympathized with Vadeboncoeur’s view “If any anglos sympathize, it’s here,” he said.“In a way he spoke for us and our culture.The French-speaking have taken control of their destiny Bill 101 applies in Montreal, but the fall-out from it is here.In the village, it threateas our existance.” “It’s a problem of transition,” he said.“It won’t be the same in the future.Hence, we request a humanizing moderation tofacilitiate the transition.” “The elimination of the visual symbols of our culture means a rejection of it.Our roots are being cut out We can’t grow, so we will wither and die." Principal Christopher Nicholl of Bishop’s University rose to object to Vadeboncoeur’s remarks “If he says to the younger generation that only laws will do it, there’s no hope.” Referring to his 20 years as a professor of engineering at Laval University in Quebec City, Nicholl said that all his graduates were able to get good jobs; Vadeboncoeur was speaking only of the past “There must be some way to insulate our young from this flagellation," he said.“French Canada is beyond survival It’s now dynamic.Premier Levesque is perpetuating the myth In his inaugural address last week, he was determined to use the ‘sea of anglos’ as a straight-jacket for Quebec.Is there no way out but laws and fences?Can we look forward to an equilibrium?Conseil president Michel Plourde closed the meeting with praise for his visitors.“I appreciate the tone, the ambiance of tonight’s meeting Your presentations have been factual, perceptive, without emotion.And that’s not always easy.” “I don't think we should have language legislation, here or elsewhere.The only goal of Bill 101 is to give French its rightful place.It was never intended to be against the English The applications are not always fair.There are over-zealous civil servants, more Catholic than the Pope.” Enjoy the forest Be careful with fires!

Yet it happens all the time throughout the Third World.If you care, we suggest you write the public relations director, care of the firm’s address on the label of the formula you’re using.Ask them whether they ascribe to the voluntary code of ethics described elsewhere on this page.If they don’t, find a formula whose producer does.Otherwise, you’re as responsible for deaths of Third-World infants as if you pulled the trigger yourselves.JAMES DUFF Quality?OTTAWA (CP) — French speaking Liberal MPs and senators have finally found an outlet for their growing frustrations with the government's tardiness in adhering to its own Official languages Act.For the 12 years since the act was passed, these parliamentarians have watched eargerly to see a new Canada emerge — a Canada where government services would be provided in both French and English and French-speaking public servants would have the same opportunities for advancement as their English-speaking counterparts.As the years passed, the changes did not happen as quickly as the MPs and senators would have liked.Occasional grumblings were heard, but now an avalanche is in the works.After much lobbying of the Trudeau and Clark governments by Liberal MP Serge Joyal, a Senate-Commons committee was established this session of Parliament to deal with those grievances In recent weeks, the committee has been picking up momentum, gathering courage, even challenging the Commons Speaker — a personage traditionally considered unassailable Appearing before the committee Thursday were officials of the environment and postal departments.Both departments came under fire from a largely French-speaking group of Liberals, including Quebec MPs Joyal and Louis Duclos, Senator Joe Guay from Manitoba and Senator Ernest Cottreau from Nova Scotia.When defences were offered about why certain publications were prepared only in English or why bilingual staff are not always available, Joyal was quick to point out that “we are sitting here after 12 years" of the Official Languages Act being passed and such excuses were no longer acceptable.Earlier Thursday, the MPs and senators were bristling with indignation at the refusal of Commons Speaker Jeanne Sauve to testify about what she is doing to ensure the Commons administration is living up to the Official Languages Act.DEMAND EXPLANATION The committee members demanded that Sauve give them a written explanation for her refusal to appear before them.Joyal claimed Sauve has "a direct responsibility” to testify before the committee — a position supported by the Progressive Conservtive heavyweight on the committee, Senator Martial Asselin from Quebec.Letters An eloquent tribute to fairness of the Record\ Editor: 1 welcomed the recent, somewhat unsavoury, letter of Dr.P (or P.P Pequiste-Pierre) Cohen to the “Record” (April 20) for two reasons: firstly, 1 heartily concede that a difference of opinion is at the very core of the democratic process; secondly, there lies in all this an eloquent tribute to the objectivity and fairness of reporting of the "Record' itself - presenting both sides of a political question (and this despite the Pequiste downplay of all Anglo-Quebec press).It seems my pen, subconsciously perhaps, became a sword and drew a little Pequiste blood.No iasult was meant but it is perhaps obvious that political parties and figures, in our open system, are publicly exposed to democratic criticism and a certain social satire all quite healthy, as a whole, and part of the political course.I have no wish to inaugurate a mud-and-muck slinging contest, a bitter, bitchy and bad linened controversy of the Corry-Green species (despite the well-spiced fun between the lines of both sides: humour can be a timely saviour’).But I have convinced myself that some reply is justified tc defend both my general position and my college diplomas (I may add here that I am grateful for the letters of support and for the many people who called or congratulated me on the street.) In loyalty to my alma maters I note in brief: Ph D.in history - begun at University of Geneva, Switzerland; terminated at University of Dacca, East It is doubtful much will come of the Conseil de la langue francaise’s session with representatives of the Townships English-speaking community Thursday night.As the conseil s representatives themselves have said, they are the ombudsman mouth of the three-headed beast which sees to the promulgation of the French Language Charter.They are short-staffed and neither the Office de la langue française nor the Commission de surveillance are answerable to them.Whether Education Minister Camille Laurin will pay them much heed is debatable; again, they themselves have said nobody has to follow any recommendations they may make.It would appear the Conseil’s main preoccupation during their tour of the Townships is to get grassroots thinking on the quality of French being spoken, taught, written or otherwise used in Quebec daily life.It’s hard for most English-speaking Quebecers to understand this preoccupation; after all, we’ve all grown up to think of English as an international language which can absorb all kinds of colloquial usage and remain a viable means of communication.But Quebec is split on the question of the quality of French.Some, like lexicographer (dictionary author) Leandre Bergeron, argue that colloquial usage determines a language’s future, and that attempts to fend off any latter-day usage are ultimately self-defeating as the language in question dies of atrophy — like Latin.Others echo the Academie Française argument that for French to remain the language of the culture, it must retain its respect for the respected forms of grammar, pronunciation, construction and usage.They see colloquialisms remaining a local oddity, whether they are found in Cameroun, Louisiana, Acadia or Haiti— or Quebec.There’s the nub of the Law 101 debate — what does it take to prevent the bastardization of the language and/or the culture?The Parti-Quebecois believes it must come in the form of strict controls on cultural evolution — French must be made the dominant cultural force, even if that dominance is achieved artificially, through legislation.In other words, whatever the Conseil’s dealings with the English community, those dealings can never be more than a sideshow to the deadly debate going on in every classroom, office and workplace in Quebec.Are we even a minority in this context?We are assured of the survival of our language.The average Québécois has yet to be convinced there is even such a thing as an English Quebec culture.All they can see is that our ability to function in our mother tongue doesn’t stop at the Quebec border.Small wonder the complaints of the English aren’t taken too seriously by many Quebecers, whether they speak French, Italian, Greek, Cree, Abenaki or Inuktitut.Like Alanis Obom-sawin said, we have to learn the law and fight for our individual rights.But let’s not assume for one second we’re going to find a lot of sympathy among ‘our fellow minorities’.J AMES DUFF .AND SO THE PEOPLE, FED UP WITH THIS RMPOUS,ARROGANT MAN WHO HAS BROUGHT THEM ll%lNFlAHONANDTï) UNEMP10YMENT HAVE THROWN HIM OUT OF < OFFICE' ^ - 3 t: ?j- VîflfV rsi -v VALERY GISCARD D'ESTAIMfr IS FINISHED// "T- •• 7 _ F/1 » 1» / A b i\ $ DJNAtO toponid sun Only in Britain you say?CANADIAN PRI SS Chickens are in the news again Canada is involved in killing off 1.5 million of them to reduce egg production.Economically, it undoubtedly makes sense.But try explaining that to your pet Rhode Island Red And people DO make pets of chickens.That’s how the incredible story of Lord Snowdon and the little, white Ranger chick came about Settle back.Smoke if you like.Lord Snowdon, once the husband of Princess Margaret, produced a BBC TV documentary on the British and their pets.In the course of it, a woman was shown hatching a chick from an egg tucked into her bosom The British responded with a flood of letters to The Times Impossible! Nonsense! A lady, no matter how well-endowed, could not | possibly generate the necessary BTUs to accomplish such a feat ADMITTED FAKE Eventually, the woman concerned admitted the egg hatching stunt had been faked for the cameras — although, Bruce Levett, she insisted, she had performed the experiment successfully on a previous occasion.Pet-lovers were puce This proved what they always suspected, they wrote.The program not only picked on kooky pet-owners but manipulated the material for dramatic effect.Well, the British just couldn't leave it at that.Erica Wallace, a reporter of striking architecture, popped an egg down the old cleavage and took to her bed — the warmest spot in most British homes in mid-winter Twenty-one days later she announced] her happy event.The Times declined to accept the notification in the form of a birth announcement.but it did allow it to appear amid the “general announcements." NAMED CHICK Wallace named the newcomer Toni Armstrong-Jones, in honor of Lord Snowdon, the man who started the whole thing Left with egg on his face, as it were, was Sir Donald Gibson, the full-time civil servant and part-time farmer who had led the "it couldn’t be done" faction.In a fitting wrap-up to the nonsense.Wallace gave Sir Donald the bird — to be raised among his flocks on his North Wales farm Sir Donald's reaction is lost to us, but wife's is in there on the record "This will be a reminder to my husband of how wrong you can be sometimes." she said.There is no record of the experiment ever having been tried in Canada Only in Britain, you say?Pity.Pakistan (now Bangladesh).Dacca, granted, is not the equivalent of the Sorbonne, Harvard or Oxford (I have a postcard “souvenir-diploma” for one week spent in residence at Oxford, when on leave on active service in World War II ! ) - but the thesis was judged by experts in England and the viva voce held by the Dean of the Faculty of Music, McGill.B.A.in English and History; M.A.in English and Philosophy, from Bishop's.Mus.Bac.from McGill.Not exactly mail-order - or even cheap - but I accept that these Anglo-Quebec universities have little standing in Pequiste eyes and are being forced into the same path to extinction as our schools Since I have been dubbed Master of Absurdities let me add a few more.(Incidentally a professor at a local university suggests M.D., in our present context, might stand for Master of Dirt.) I will restrain myself to a mere trinity of follies, as I see them.1.Among my supportive letters was one that deplored a registered letter sent to an Eastern Townships home for all-Anglophone elderly people forcing them to remove their English sign.2.The project to smother films in English - to limit circulation; and one PQ group would move to keep out all movies in English! This “bill” has apparently not yet been enacted: but, as the Bible records, sin also resides in the lust that is in the mind.3.I cannot contain my mad-sad alarm that STOP has actually begun to be replaced, "legally” negated, by ARRET.I have travelled most of France, with my eyes open, and never observed anything but STOP: once again the PQ have stupidly overplayed their hand.I greatly fear that this fanatic fixation - this continued and contaminated compulsion - to cultural overkill will react in time in boomerang fashion, and the Québécois may lose much of their new-found (and justly merited) dignity.I do not question the virtues of the Quiet Revolution but I never believed there was a dramatic threat to the survival of French culture that needed even Bill 22 -much less 101.No Canadian can feel more ashamed than I for the way the French-Canadian has been treated in the West and even in Ontario and I synpathize with all who have been stung by the WASPs there; but the overreacting antics of the PQ are not likely to ease the situation.History?again: the good Neo-Canadian ( sorry Neo-Quebecois) doctor, like most Pequistes, too readily passes over the results of the Referendum : Quebec is not a country - yet.Sovereignty-Association was but too obviously a stepping-stone to independence: and for Anglo-Quebec it would spell Sovereignty-Assassination ! I do not conceal my disappointment in the Liberal loss; but as Quebecers are notably volatile voters (witness three different parties in power in Johnson county in as many months) the pendulum will surely swing away in time from the Pequistes.And the Union Nationale - through a political miracle - may yet rise from the dead.It is regrettable that Ryan, sincere, kind and almost pathetically honest, lacked the flame-throwing charisma with which both Trudeau and Levesque are so generously endowed: and he presented too severe a figure in the context of Quebec today, as of most contemporary society.Canada has such an incredible potential both for its own people and for helping the outside world in need.But if we continue to rest imprisoned in our provin-cially-restricted minds we do not deserve a country like Canada.My painful and bitter personal dilemma is that I would not want to live in a Quebec without Canada or in a Canada without Quebec.Whatever our dividing reasons, let us all bury the historical hatchet (in the I ground - not in each other’s backs), and work and sweat to make a real country.Our four peoples can be the foundation stones of a mighty mansion ofhope.1.The Indian and Inuit who lost their country through land rape and forceful conquest in unequal battle; false promises; and broken treaties; 2.The French whose Latin vitality and charm infuse artistic j warmth into our being.3.The British-who dispite a j reputation as one of the dullest of peoples, still produce fantastic non-materialistic exceptions; and give us a solid footing in the necessary business world 4.The Neo-Canadians who add much needed spice to the whole complex pudding.1 have always been a mild socialist and in favour of a restrained Republic (of Canada, within the Commonwealth) - but in my somewhat cynical later years 1 do wonder sometimes if a good strong benevolent despot type of philosophical monarchy might not be the best answer any candidates for Canada (l'Empereur Pierre, le Roi Rene.).Our basic problem is, of course, part and parcel of the World upheaval: how petty our squabbles seem in the light of universal pollution and the everpresent menace of atomic dissolution.Only with constant exercise of the most acceptable of the four-letter words - LOVE - can we hope to meet any of these challenges - provincial, national or global.God sooth and shock us all C.MEADE, Baldwin's Mills PS.Despite Dr.Cohen’s predetermined negation of me as a friend, making it difficult to invite him, if he is passing by in the area he is welcome to visit my Philosophical Gardens where are symbols to love and respect all races, religions and conditions of man (including his minority). TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1981 5 Engineering women still pioneers in their field TORONTO (CPI - She had two degrees — a bachelor of applied sciences in chemical engineering and a master of science in nuclear engineering — but her boss treated her as if she were a glorified stenographer "I got the same pay as all the young male engineers, but my boss had me do nothing but menial Josephine tasks, like duplicating reports." said Claudette MacKay-Lass-onde "You know, it took him six months before he realized 1 was no scientific dummy Then the guy was flabbergasted." Seven year later at age 32, she is a $40,000-a-year nuclear design executive heading an engineering staff of 20 at Ontario Hydro But she says the same sort of bias could easily be encountered today by other Canadian women w ho aspire to be engineers More than 300 such women gathered last w eekend at the first Canadian convention of women engineers They swapped stories and formed the Canadian Association of Women in the Sciences and Engineering, with the slogan, Challenge Knows No Gender WOMEN ARE PIONEERS As the convention organizer.MacKay Lass-onde defines engineers as "creative problem-solvers with a scientific bent and down-to-earth practicality." She says women still are pioneers m the profession.latest figures show that only 0.3 per cent of working engineers in Canada are women and the future doesn't seem much brighter "A lot of women are frightened off because of the ster eotype image of male engi neers," she said "They're supposed to be rough, tough guys with hard hats and construction boots," But to Stella Vivat.29, being a female in the profession is "old hat stuff." Vivat, a cost control civil engineer with the Toronto mining consultant firm of Kilborn Ltd .won her degree in Riga, the capital of Soviet-dominated l-.itvia She says about 50 per cent of Soviet engineers are women The mother of a nine-month-old daughter and wife of a Latvian technological engineer “who works as an equal partner w ith me in our family life.” Vivat regards women in the Canauian feminist movement as rather old-fashioned."To be treated equally.you must be willing to contribute equally,” she said “If you're a secretary, with limited knowledge and skills, why should you demand equality with your boss?To be equal with the boss, you must know as much as the boss — and mavbe more.” U.S.-USSR grain trade levels remain low TO GERMANY ON KLM.THAT’S GOOD BUSINESS.WINNIPEG tCP) — It's business as usual for American grain merchants now that the partial embargo against the Soviet Union has ended But they aren't expecting a convoy of Soviet ships to line up at the loading spout.In fact, most market observers doubt grain trade between the United States and Soviets will ever return to the high levels that existed before the embargo was imposed in January, 1980 to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.1 v^ ’ J?:>n nu; j ^ f i?' * * ,• i , - - ;s *ff « Grain merchants aren 7 expecting Soviet ships to line up at the docks.« Gas stubs buy computer When the U S.limited its sales to those covered by a long standing agreement, the Soviets went shopping in other markets, paying high premiums or taking substitutes to feed their live stock when the American corn supply was shut off The embargo didn't get them out of Afghanistan, and no one expects them to turn their backs on new suppliers.On the contrary, the Soviets probably will continue to spread their business around and avoid putting all their eggs in one basket again.PATTERNS CHANGE Now, the American grain companies are wooing new customers to absorb what would have been taken by the Soviets, and world grain flow patterns will probably be changed permanently.Dave Champion of Winnipeg, grain market analyst with James Richardson and Sons Ltd., said the embargo aftermath has implications for private companies in Canada."1 think it's going to be more difficult for private companies like ourselves to trade with the Russians,” I Champion said in an interview "They probably will go into more government to-government and long-term contracts.That means of course that the Canadian wheat board will be doing more direct sales so there will be less opportunities for ourselves." Canada already has benefitted from the apparent and probably irreversible shift in trade patterns despite the fact this country supported the embargo by agreeing not to sell the Soviets more than traditional amounts of about three million tonnes a year.While no official an nouncement has been made, grain trade spokesmen say a five-year agreement has been reached between the wheat board and the Soviets covering five million tonnes of grain a year.Champion said there is a similarity between the current situation and one created in 1972 when U S.soybean shipments to Japan were restricted.At that time, he said, the Japanese intensified their development of other sources w hich led to Brazil becoming a major producer of soybeans.One spinoff from the Soviet embargo lias been the emer genee of Argentina as a potentially major competitor of U S.farmers in key export markets.An authoritative American trade magazine, Milling and Baking News, said in a recent editorial that Argentina's leaders used the embargo to their advantage.It said "that country’s military leaders have effectively used the embargo not just to build a very profitable grain export relationship with the USSR, but also to provide the base for a surge in Argentina's ow n production and handling capabilities " In the early l%0s, Argentina's production of wheat and coarse grains seldom exceeded 15 million tonnes but now lias doubled, leaving about 18 million tonnes available for export.That export surplus ranks Argentina just behind the U S and Canada as the world's leading exporters.EXI'ECTS MORE What's more, the South American country expects to be producing crops of 50 million tonnes of grain in the next five years, and 90 per cent of that production would be available for export.Aside from the economic repercussions oi the em bargo is the moral question of using food as a weapon, a policy that apparently will be pursued by the Americans albeit with a slight twist.John Block, secretary of agriculture in the U.S., said his department will be using food as a "foreign policy weapon." 1! you’ve Rot business in Germany.• • tu Dusseldorf.Hambur;tf.Bremen, for example.you'll lind KLM eon otteu get you there fnsler than any other airline.ITianks to our superbly organized home airport.Sehiphol/Amsterdain, KLM has some ol the best eonnoe-tions throughout Kurope and beyond.But more than speed, KLM oilers you Business f lass, with special seat uiR.plus extra "Dutch touches."

SinLife du Canada 6 TUESDAY, MAY 26, J981 livina______________ «Beam Pre-Galt students offered sex education courses By Charles Catchpaugh Parents of grade school children attending Alexander Galt Regional High next September are advised their boys and girls will be provided with sex education before the end of this term.The program, directed at those in or nearing the puberty stage, is to create an awareness that will help prepare the youngsters for their environment at the secondary level.___ Although the program has been carefully planned, some parents have expressed disapproval or doubt, mainly on moral or religious grounds.The majority, 95 per cent according to school officials, are in favor of the program In memos to parents principals note school officials recognize sex education is primarily the responsibility of the family and, that in a healthy at- mosphere, children will naturally question adults, educators also feel they share this responsibility Officials wish to assure that correct information is given these children, with proper values and with a healthy, moral attitude.The children will hopefully gain a sense of responsibility toward themselves and respect for others Selected teachers to counsel male and female groups in each school, will meet with the youngsters after viewing of films aligned with this program.In these group sessions, there will be an effort to guarantee there are no misunderstandings and that the information is absorbed in the fashion it was intended.One parent speaking for a parental group, praised the program.Most boys and girls, he said, get some degree of sex awareness training with emphasis on responsibility and respect at home, The spokesman stressed, that sucn carefully selected and directed programs can only benefit the children.Even with such sessions, some will not use common sense after leaving elementary school, but efforts should be neither discouraged nor condemned.The same person pointed out today we see children exposed to the facts of life but still others are neglected from infancv Old practices considering sex information taboo until a child reaches mid-teens can only result in unnecessary abuse, misery and hardships.sometimes beginning during high school years.Parents are asked to endorse the elementary school effort and to encourage more parents to show a greater concern for their children's knowledge of sex during their early, formative years.Ann Landers'7 / Keep purses on laps at all parties Hear Ann Landers: I recently attended a baby shower at the home of a close family friend.During the shower someone went through the purses of the guests and stole about $300.The hostess was notified and, to say the least, it was very embarrassing.She tried to keep the incident hushed, but many people found out about it.No effort was made to locate the money As far as I know, no restitution was made.I realize this was a sticky situation since only family and friends were present, but $300 isn’t exactly chicken feed.What should have been done?Should the police have been notified?Should the money have been paid back by the hostess?Or should the whole incident be forgotten?— Color Me Purple Dear Purple: It’s very hard to get the police interested in a $300 theft that occurred at a family party.In my opinion, the hostess should not be held responsible My advice is to learn from this Women should keep their purses in their laps at parties - family affairs or not.And why carry more money than you need, ever?Dear Ann Landers: The problem is our mother.(We are teenagers.) She is a doctor.We are getting sick and tired of the way she neglects her home and family.A normal day is for Mom to leave at 8 a.m.and return at 7 p in Usually she complains that her day was so busy she didn’t have time to eat lunch.Tonight Mom phoned at 8:50 to say she was just leaving.’’ (This meant a 30-minute drive before she walked through the door.) When she arrived, exhausted, she tried to get sympathy from the family, but we refused - saying, “If you want to be a voluntary slave, that’s YOUR problem." Mom is grouchy, unpleasant and not very nice to Dad.A few minutes ago when I started to lift a heavy object to put on Dad’s desk (he has a bum back), she yelled, “Let him do it himself!" Don’t suggest a psychiatrist for the whole family.We’ve already done that.His advice is good, but it takes a lot of once-a week meetings to get anything going Any suggestions?— Scarsdale Squabbles Dear Scars: Accept the fact that your mother is a compulsive worker who has put her career before her family and there is nothing you can do about it.Y où don t state your ages, but I’m sure you are all old enough to do without 24-hour mothering.Obviously, she is a dedicated doctor, and this is admirable.But her priorities are a little screwed up, and I believe she 11 regret it.Dear Ann Landers: Please tell me how to bring a telephone conversation to an end without feeling guilty.1 have this friend who calls almost every day.She has trouble with her daughter-in-law, her cousin, her neighbors, etc.I feel sorry for her, but there are not enough hours in the day to listen When I try to be sympathetic and say, “I understand," she shrieks, "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY UN DERSTAND.” Then she gets mad at me I am depressed for days.1 know you've handled this in your column before If you answer my letter, 1 promise to tape the response above my phone.— La Crosse, Wls.Dear Wts.: The next time this pest yells, “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!" Say, “You are right I don’t So please excuse me while I go finish my work.I’m wasting your time." Then hang up RECORD/CHARLES LEVEQUE Tomatoes and jet-set lettuce What's going on here?Thursday seemed like the first day fresh vegetables had been available in Sherbrooke for years, if you go by the line-ups at the produce stores.The rush was on as consumers stocked up on everything from green-house tomatoes to California jet-set lettuce.Is it the Green Revolution, or just a taste of summer?Assess portfolios —WCC analyst The Women’s Canadian Club of the Eastern Townships Inc.held a dinner meeting at Le Club Social May 14 and enjoyed an excellent presentation with informative suggestions as to how money could be wisely invested The guest speaker was Jean Murphy, Investment Research Analyst.Murphy told the members they should assess their portfolios by writing down all income from our investments.If not enough capital gain and interest is derived then if necessary they should seek advice from a broker who would help in their evaluation and point out where money be invested more wisely.Reference was made to various kinds of plans available and Murphy emphasized money should not be tied up in long term investments with the rising interest rate.Money should be reasonably accessible to be withdrawn and then re-invested it at the highest rate possible.Short term investments seemed to be a wiser investment policy rather than long term investments under conditions of rising interest rates.Registered Retirement Saving Plans came under discussion since they are tax free.Murphy stated that even though at the time of withdrawal these investments are taxable, it was highly probable that income would be lower at that time and thus the tax would also be lower.Members should try to keep informed about new income retirement investments that would be to their advantage financially.One member questioned the benefit of having money invested in Canada Savings bonds.Mrs.Murphy assured her such bonds were a safe investment but due to low interest rates they were not considered profitable investments.The speaker concluded by encouraging members to become more interested in investments and more informed by familiarizing themselves with first rate publications such as the Financial Post and Forbes.Mrs.Murphy was introduced by Mrs.Doris Conley and thanked by Mrs.Peggy Herring.The club appreciates the time and effort taken in preparing such an informative talk.Kids’ Gallery a haven for collectors, young and old TORONTO ( CP) —- For kids who won’t settle for a plain sleeping bag and want one shaped like a teddy bear, or those who prefer a rocking giraffe to a rocking horse.Kids Gallery is the ideal store.Kids Gallery is the kids’ store that takes toys, games and art one step beyond anything you’ve ever seen, with a w ide assortment of handmade items produced by only the wildest and most fun-loving imaginations.If there’s anything in the world you want made into a toy.Kids Gallery is likely to have it and, failing that, is willing to make it for you.This newest addition to downtown Toronto’s Villaee Bv the Grange—a popular shopping-eating tourist attraction — is probably the next best thing to landing in heaven for kids of any age.Equipped with a sandbox and graffiti board for those who don’t feel like just looking.Kids Gallery is a store for entertaining rather than shopping.Once they set foot in Kids Gallery, funded by the Village by the Grange Corp., children of all shapes and sizes clamber over rockers, latch on to life-size Popeye dolls and screech with delight at the sight of gumball machine pins.ADULTS TEMPTED Many an adult won’t be able to resist the t anadian pine rockers, building blocks and jigsaw puzzles, not to mention the quilted wall-hangings and mobiles.“Putting the store together was like a dream," says Gail Shulman, gallery director and buyer.“It felt just like Christmas as we opened the boxes.' Indeed, visiting the new store is like landing in Santa s workshop — and better.Shulman explained the philosophy behind Kids Gallery during its recent opening.“We call ourselves a fine crafts gallery that will have something for kids of all ages and even for adults," she said.And the fine crafts gallery certainly does have things adults can appreciate, including the Sweet Revenge Doll, equipped with pins to poke at areas on the doll designated to produce “unsightly dandruff," “unwanted body hair,” “jock itch" or countless others.But that’s not all.The $60 pottery tea set is certain to be a collector's item before long, says Shulman.And specially-made doll houses, which go for as much as $525 ( tney are detailed down to the last book title on living-room shelves) are unique, if not affordable.Shulman, who spent almost five months buying games, toys and art from Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, New York and California, says she wanted “practical and affordable things ranging up to collectables." CP victim: We can’t afford work VANCOUVER (CP) — Rick Watson flops his near-useless legs around his apartment getting ready to work on his typewriter.The 27-year-old victim of cerebral palsy wears a headband attached to a long metal finger He bobs his head forward and the finger bangs on a key in a hunt-and-peck system of typing.Watson wants to be a writer.Like hundreds of other handicapped people, he yearns for the chance to have a steady job, but they’re hard to come by in these troubled times, he says.Their dilemma is grimly highlighted by the United Nations’ declaration that 1981 is International Year of Disabled Persons.The purpose of the year is to create public awareness of the handicap’s problems and improve their lot."We re only allowed to make so much money or they cut us off or take some portion off." Watson said, commenting on handicapped allowances offered by the British Columbia government.“The fact is that under the system we can't afford a job.’’ Yoshinoru Tanabe is in the same boat as Watson, holding a diploma in finance from Vancouver Community College, but no takers for his skills.He and Watson say they're only permitted to make about $50 a month, otherwise their monthly income of about $400 through the ministry of human resources is chopped back.SUFFERS DISABILITY About nine per cent of Canadians have a disability and about 200,000 of them live in B.C.About 600,000 people are employed in this area, says a federal employment and immigration spokesman, and out of those about 3,000 are handicapped and unemployed, but could work if given the chance.There are about 19 different disabilities, ranging from a carpenter with a lost finger to a quadraplegic executive.B.C.business and industry have a terrible record in hiring disabled persons, said Leona Freiman, social planner for the panel on handicapped and transporation committee of the non-profit Social Planning and Review-Council.She wrote a report on employment opportunities for disabled persons that said 24,110 workers were employed among the 132 B.C.businesses that responded to her survey.Only 129 of these employees were disabled per sons.Doug Mowat, chairman of the B.C committee for the international year, disagrees that the private sector in B.C.has a poor record in hiring the disabled “Our statistics and our working in the field say that any person who wants to work can get a job,” he said.“But a disabled person may be limited to the type of job he can perform.” Mowat said a big problem facing the handicapped is that many personnel managers or recruiting officers lack information and understanding of the disabled person's difficulties.Galt band honors director PHOTO/CLAUDIA BOWERS Alexander Galt Regional High School reverberated with authentic Canadian band music recently as

this wage subsidy program with the aim of providing continuing jobs for these people who really want to work.An employer can be reimbursed as follows: For handicapped persons: 85% of gross wages for the first 13 weeks 50% of gross wages for the next 26 weeks 25% of gross wages for the final 26 weeks Additional funding up to $5,000 may be available for restructuring work places or acquiring special equipment.For other disadvantaged persons: 85% of gross wages for the first 13 weeks 50% of gross wages for the next 13 weeks 25% of gross wages for the final 13 weeks Additional funding is available for protective clothing or equipment where necessary.Canadians must not overlook the value of human potential and the responsibility we all share in ensuring work opportunities for everyone.Opportunities for people who are physically or mentally handicapped.As well as people who bear the stigma of a past they have since overcome, or suffer the injustices of social and cultural discrimination.So let us get together to work together.For further information, contact your local Canada Employment Centre.After all, there is a difference between taking a chance and giving a

championship has come and gone but as usual it had its fair share of surprises.Many in the Townships would more readily recognize the event under the name Y’s Men’s Track Meet, which was held at the parade grounds in Sherbrooke.Last year the meet was taken over by the school athletic directors, principally Alexander Galt although there are still a large number of volunteers to follow through on a javelin toss and there is who help out with the timing, judging and other organizational duties necessary to run a proper meet.In the boys section this year, Alexander Galt continued in its domination of the overall point total but they received a strong challenge from Richmond Regional The big difference in the two schools turned out to be in the senior class.Richmond and Galt split the bantam and midget classes but Galt’s 13 point advantage in the senior category proved to be the difference.On the girls’ side of the meet Massey Vanier finally unseated the Galt women who had claimed the number one spot for the last 10 years.Massey Vanier captured the title on the strength of their midget and senior squads which both were tops in their divisions.Even though they finished a poor third in the bantam class the Cowansville squad was able to make up the difference.GOODYEAR GO CENTRES WIDE TREAD LIGHT TRUCK TIRES The low profile and extra wide design of these tires puts more rubber on the road

place like home Expos dump Cards Yaz in game 3000, Red Sox sink Tribe By Terry Scott MONTREAL (CP) -Maybe all those reports about the demise of Montreal Expos have been greatly exaggerated After all, the National League baseball club returned from a bleak 4-8 road trip Monday night and defeated St Louis Cardinals, the East Division leaders.5-3, to move within 2>2 games of first place.The Expos even found someone in the bullpen to put the brakes on a ninth-inning St.Louis rally, something that has been as rare as falling bank rates in recent weeks.“It was a great one to win, especially after the way we've been playing lately,” said Chris Speier who knocked in three runs with a single and a two-run home nin.his second of the season.In beating St.Louis the Expos discovered another weapon that has been missing in most of their recent failures — a runscoring hit after two outs.“Their first three runs came on hits with two out," said Cardinal manager Whitey Herzog.“We just couldn't put them away.” Speier followed Jerry White’s two-out double with an RBI single in the third inning to give Montreal a 1-0 lead against starter Lary Sorensen, 4-3.STEALS SECOND In the fourth, White, who had three hits in the game, singled and stole second ahead of Speier’s homer on a 2-0 pitch from Sorensen, making his first career start against the Expos.The Cardinals seemed like spectators through the first five innings as Montreal .starter Bill Gullickson held them to one hit, a leadoff single by George Hendrick in the fifth.But Tony Scott doubled home a run in the sixth cutting the lead to 3-1.The Expos came back with a run in their half of the sixth as Larry Parrish, mired in a 5-for-57 slump, tripled home Tim Wallach Gary Carter's RBI double in the seventh increased the margin to 5-1.The Cardinals bunched four hits to chase Gullickson with one out in the ninth, forcing Montreal to reach into the bullpen for Bill Lee, who forced pinch-hitter Tito Landrum to bounce into a run-scoring infield out for St.Louis's third run.Lee then got Tom Herr on a fly ball to right field ending the game.The Expos continue the three-game series with St.Louis tonight by sending Steve Rogers, 4-3, against Cardinals rookie John Martin, 1-0.Johnny Bench isn’t the same slugger who terrorized major league pitchers for 13 seasons and he offered his game-winning single on Monday as evidence.The Cincinnati Reds' first baseman snapped an eighthinning tie with a run-scoring single off reliever Greg Minton of San Francisco Giants, and Larry Biittner followed with a two-run double for a 6-3 National League baseball victory Bench, whose uppercut made him the most prolific home runhitting catcher in baseball history, said he’s adopted a more level swing “It’s a more disciplined swing,” said Bench, who has won the first base job with his hot hitting.Elsewhere, New York Mets whipped Philadelphia Phillies 13-3, Chicago Cubs shaded Pittsburgh Pirates 10-9 in 11 innings, Los Sport shorts Scoreboard Angeles Dodgers defeated Atlanta Braves 7-1 and Houston Astros beat San Diego Padres 6-3.Mets 13 Phillies 3 Dave Kingman smashed the 10th grand slam home run of his career and Hubie Brooks drove in three more runs to help New York beat Philadelphia Greg Harris got his first major league victory with 5 2-3 innings of work.He scattered six hits and struck out six before Jeff Reardon relieved, earning his second save.Cubs 10 Pirates 9 Scot Thompson lofted a bases-loaded single over Pittsburgh's pulled in outfield with none out in the 11th inning to lead Chicago over the Pirates and give the Cubs their third straight victory.Steve Henderson homered twice for the Cubs, leading off a four-run eighth inning and again to tie the score 9-9 in the ninth.They were the second and third homers for him this year.Dodgers 7 Braves 1 Los Angeles veteran Burt Hooton won his seventh game without a loss, working 5 1-3 innings, and Steve Garvey drove in three runs with a single and a two-run homer in the fifth inning The Dodgers scored three runs in the first inning off Atlanta right-hander Bob Walk.1-4.v MONTREAL (CP) — Edward Small, a 22-year-old > defenceman who enjoyed a

winner went to sleep Sunday night, he was a second-place finisher in that day’s Indy event.But the 41-year-old racer from Nazareth, Pa., awoke Monday to find that the race stewards had snatched the triumph away from Bobby Unser — the man who took the victory laps at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway — and made Andretti the winner.“I didn't know what to say or how to feel,” Andretti said “Wdien (chief mechanic) Jim McGee called me at about 8:30 (a.m.), it was a shock.“My first feeling was, ‘Hey, I won.’ But then my emotions were very mixed.Winning here is supposed to be a delightful experience.I’m sure in time it will be.It’s a plus and a minus for both of us, though.“The unfortunate thing is that Bobby went through all the hoopla, all the things the winner gets to go through.Then it was taken away from him.And I did not get to go through any of that.JUMPED START “I know how Bobby must feel.The 1978 Italian Grand Prix was taken away from me precisely that way because I supposedly jumped the line at the start.Maybe this makes up for it a little, but I don't know whether anything really makes up for it.And that doesn’t make Bobby feel any better.” Andretti, team-mate Gordon Johncock and A.J.Foyt all complained to the stewards following the race that Unser had illegally passed a group of cars on lap 149 as he came back on the track from the pits during a yellow flag caution period.The stewards looked at videotapes and other race data and agreed, penalizing Unser one lap.That left the two-time Indy winner nearly a full lap behind Andretti, but still in second place ahead of Vern Schuppan of Australia.However, it also cost Unser and the Roger Penske team about $100,000 in prize money.A pair of protests by Penske — one pleading that Unser was innocent of the charge and the other accusing Andretti of the same type violation — were denied by the stewards after nearly six hours of hearings Monday.Although the cheques for both first and second place were being held up pending an appeal on those decisions, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway released the tentative figures.BOSTON (AP) Carl Yastrzemski of Boston Red Sox reached another milestone in his career Monday night, becoming the fourth major league baseball player in history to play in 3,000 games.“1 have many, many happy memories, but 3,000 that’s an awful lot of games,” Yastrzemski said in an interview before a game with Cleveland Indians.“I’ve always been proud of my durability over the years, but l never thought of 3,000 games." Yastrzemski was given a standing ovation by a crowd of about 20,000 as he took his position at first base for the start of the game against the Indians.He acknowledged the applause w ith a wave of his cap in each direction of the park Yaztrzemski, who will be 42 in August, joined Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb and Stan Musial in the 3,000 game class.Aaron played in 3,298 games, Cobb, 3,033, and Musial, 3,026.Since joining the Red Sox as a 20-year old successor to Ted Williams in left field in 1961, Yastrzemski has established himself as one of baseball’s alltime greats, ranking with the leaders in virtually every hitting category.He is the only American League player ever to achieve 3,000 hits and 4(H) homers.And last year he became the first AL player to get UK) hits or more in 20 consecutive seasons.Tve worked hard, but I’ve been very fortunate,” Yastrzemski said “I’ve managed to escape serious injury and I've been i play often with nagging aches and pain.” And the 41-year-old Yastrzemski, ap pearing in his 3,000th major league game, delivered a key two-run single as Boston wiped out a 6-2 deficit with four runs in the seventh inning and walked and scored the winning run in the ninth as the Red Sox edged Cleveland Indians 8 7.Elsewhere, Oakland A s downed Chicago White Sox 5-2, Detroit Tigers pounded Milwaukee Brewers 12-3, Seattle Mariners swept a doubleheader from Kansas City Royals 7-1 and 5-2 and California Angels edged Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 Yastrzemski’s heroics helped the Red Sox overcome home runs by Joe Charboneau, Andre Thornton and Toby Harrah leading off the ninth, Yastrzemski worked a walk and went to third as Jim Rice doubled Then, after Garry Hancock was walked intentionally, Yaz sprinted home on Carney Ixinsford's chopper to third, easily beating the throw from Harrah.Hangers 4 Twins 3 Stein set his pinch hit record w ith a bases loaded single after Texas tied the score on singles by Mickey Rivers, A1 Oliver and Buddy Bell, his third RBI Stein broke the mark of six consecutive pinch hits by Bob Johnson of Baltimore in 1964.Orioles 10 Yankees I Despite DeCinces’ slugging and Palmer’s pitching, the home run by shortstop Belanger was the blow that thrilled the Baltimore crowd of 42,949.,Vs 5 White Sox 2 Rickey Henderson tripled, singled and scored twice and Tony Armas belted a game breaking, three-run double in leading Oakland to its fifth consecutive triumph behind Steve McCatty’s six hit pitching.Tigers 12 Brewers 3 Jack Morris won his fifth game in a row with a six-hitter to run his career record to 6 t against Milwaukee while his team-mates backed him with a 16-hit .attack.John Wockenfuss and Richie Hebner drove in three runs apiece and Lynn Jones, who had been hitting 198, had four hits and two RBI’s.Angels 2 Blue Jays I Mike Will, a 6-foot-7 rookie right-hander, blanked Toronto on two singles for eight innings before needing help in the ninth SPORTS-CAMPING Au Bon Marché 45 King S».West SPORTS-CAMPING • NATIONAL LEAGUE AB R H Pet.158 2) 58 .367 113 13 41 .363 119 21 43 .361 110 18 39 .355 131 10 45 .344 146 27 49 .336 158 23 53 .335 93 8 31 .333 149 28 49 .329 99 11 32 .323 Howe, Hou Youngbl’d, NY Easier, Pgh Perkins, SD Brooks, NY Dawson, Mil Herndon, SF Bench, Cin Raines, MU Madlock, Pgh Quebec Charlesbourg poned) QMJBL Saturday 0 Three Rivers 7 in Grand'Mere (post Sunday Doubles Buckner, Chicago, 16, Concepcion, Cincinnati, 12; Jones, San Diego, 12.AMERICAN LEAGUE AB R H Pet.Saint Jean Saint Jean Coaticook Shawinigan Shawinigan Three Rivers LasaHe 11 Quebec 6 Sainte Foy 8 Quebec 1 Valleyfieid 6 Saint Laurent 3 Saint Laurent 12 Grand'Mere East Section Singleton, Bal Remy, Bos Roenicke, Bal Evans, Bos Lanstord, Bos Almon, Chi Squires, Chi Aikens, KC Paclorek, Sea Henderson, Oak 136 17 113 22 97 17 153 37 168 28 137 24 100 15 120 14 148 15 173 36 50 368 41 363 35 361 54 .353 58 .345 46 .336 33 .330 39 .325 48 324 56 .324 Sainte Foy Three Rivers Shawinigan Charlesbourg Grand'Mere Quebec West Section Saint Jean Saint Laurent Coaticook Valleyfieid LasaHe Massawippi Valley Softball Standings O'Keefe Division Sawyer ville Ayer s Cliff Blues Ayer's Cliff Reds Golden Lion Pub Army Navy Giants Huntlngvllle Compton North Hatley 79 And save money, too.by taking advantage of this FABULOUS AU BON MARCHE OFFER!

Second section TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1981 13 #1___tea uccora Infant formula: Sales pitch ends in deaths ‘One million children in the developing world die each year from inadequate artificial feeding ’ By James Duff Member nations of the World Health Organization have been saddled with the task of drafting their own laws and regulations out of a code adopted in Geneva Wednesday which calls for strict limits to the marketing of canned infant formulas in Third-World countries The WHO overrode the objections of the United States in voting to encourage women around the world to breast-feed their children rather than giving them manufactured substitutes.The vote was 93 to 3, with only Chad and Bangladesh joining the U S.in opposing the voluntary guidelines.Strictly speaking, the vote means nothing if the individual nations don't draft laws controlling the sale of manmade formulas and it is feared that even the adoption of such regulations won't be enough in some of the poorer nations if the United States doesn't impose some form of control on U.S.-based multinationals doing their business overseas.Proponents of the code say manufacturers’ high-powered sales tactics discourage breast-feeding -universally regarded as the healthiest infant nourishment.They say baby formula is dangerously misused in the developing Third World where it is mixed with polluted water under poor health conditions that contribute to millions of infant deaths.UNICEF, the UN Children's Fund that worked with WHO in framing the code, has said “it is likely that at least one million children in the developing world die each year from inadequate artificial feeding.” The Reagan administration in Washington took its controversial stand on grounds the United Nations organization should not be in the business of issuing international regulations.Immediately after the votes were tallied, U S.Ambassador.Gerald Helman took the floor to say the Reagan administration endorses “efforts to promote and protect breastfeeding as the ideal form of infant nutrition.” However, said Helman, the administration could not accept the code's “over all effect of prescribing a rigid set of rules applicable to companies, health workers and health care systems" around the world.In Ottawa, Health Minister Monique Begin said she was pleased to learn the code had been approved by such a solid majority.She said in an interview that the federal government plans to continue lobbying for an end to the distribution of free samples of infant formula in Canadian hospitals.Quebec already has banned free samples of formula in its hospitals, and she hopes other provinces will follow- suit.The Ontario government has said it is reluctant to interfere with the policies of individual hospitals, but perhaps it can at least be persuaded to issue some kind of guides to hospitals, Begin said.She said the U.S.stand should have no effect on the code's fate in other countries.Canada was one of the 93 countries that voted for the code But even in the U.S., feeling is sharply against the stand of the Reagan administration, which is being accused of pandering to the interests of the powerful infant-formula lobby.Two senior U.S.officials have quit rather than back the U.S.position and the United States is leaving itself open to accusations that it doesn't care a damn for what U.S.- based multinationals do overseas.The facts support some sort of control, as they have since the beginning of the whole furore over the sale of infant formula in the Third World.The problems of the infant-formula manufacturers began about a decade ago.with the baby boom brought on by the postwar Baby Boom, and that's with a capital B The demand for infant formula shot up enormously, prompting some of the biggest names in multinational foods to get into the business.Production rose to meet the demand, new plants were opened everywhere and all was rosy for the half-dozen pharmaceutical and foodstuffs giants in the mainstream.It would be wrong to say the bottom fell out of the infant-formula market, but certainly the trend to doing things more naturally - including breast feeding - didn't help the formula manufacturers any in North America.Their share of the market stabilized, which in multinational terms is akin to failure.Moreover, it became evident to anyone who read nutrition guru Adele Davis that breast-fed babies developed immunity to infection faster and better than did their bottle-fed siblings More and more women rediscovered the joys of that particular closeness that comes with suckling one’s offspring.The future for the formula folk and their expensive marketing systems began looking downright bleak.So they turned to the Third World, that great untapped maw of consumerism.More than one company hired sales reps, dressed them in nurselike uniforms and sent them into the hinterlands with a Jeepful of free samples.These women followed the midwives, possibly paying them something for their troubles, so they could get a free pitch at the new moms.And what a pitch! Infant formula was the wonder food that would make their babies as smart and as big as North American babies, infant formula was better than breast milk, infant formula was the mark of a modern status- conscious mother, infant formula was the means by which women would In-freed forever from the burden of breast feeding What they didn't tell the new moms was that the infant formula, once opened needed refrigeration.They didn't mention the need to sterilize bottles or the water that had to be mixed with the formula.They didn't bother to mention the cost, nor did they tell the moms that this ‘wonder milk' could be used as a supplement to breast milk.The results were - and are - pathetic.The little ones died from malnutrition or disease brought on by unsterilized water, dirty bottles, sour formula or the inability of the moms to pay the price.Their own mothers' milk dried up, of course,so there was no return The United Nations became aware of the danger almost immediately, through various field agencies like the World Health Organization, UNESCO and UNICEF.It attempted to get the multis to stop pushing their product in Third World countries and imposed strict standards on who should accompany their own field workers But the sale of infant formula continued, the giants were fighting for a diminishing market and if they lost this one, they could see growing resistance to other food products yet unmarketed.North American awareness of what was happening came about through the work of WHO fieldworkers and nutritionists, who made their allegations here and were largely ignored Only the underground press, led by a crusading economic review called Mother Jones, picked it up Those of us who did publish stories and comment about the industry, soon became aware of the awesome public relations machine operated by the formula producers.An editorial in The Record was answered by a hefty kit of disinformation from the association representing the producers, holding their practises up in the best possible light and condemning their critics But gradually, public awareness has grown to the point that the WHO lus Breast-fed babies developed immunity to infection faster than their bottle-fed siblings, says Adele Davis.t- ¦!*> if r come out with a marketing code of conduct that would strictly limit the advertising and distribution of infant formula in Third World countries The guidelines would Ban direct advertising of breast milk substitutes Prohibit distribution of free product samples Require wording on product labels that acknowledges the superiority of breast feeding and warns about health hazards posed by improper preparation Keep companies from paying staff commissions and bonuses on sales of infant formula Many have jumped on the protest bandwagon Television actress Linda Kelsey says a lour of Asian countries persuaded her to support the code.Kelsey, who plays a reporter on the television series Lou Grant, related her findings this week before an infant formula forum sponsored by Senator Edward Kennedy, (Deni Mass.).The forum is attempting to decide whether the United States ought to support the voluntary guidelines Kelsey said the International Organization of Consumers' Unions asked her to visit India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Phillipines in hopes dial her public image as a reporter show would help stimulate support for the code Kelsey said she visited health clinics and hospitals and talked with front line health workers “They showed me the promotion stickers, free samples and advertisements of the baby milk com panics," she said.“In one hospital I visited in the Phillipines.infant for inula companies' Western dressed sab's personnel were so common with their samples, gifts and posters that upon entering, 1 was asked what milk company 1 represented " Kennedy also called to the forum two former officials for the Agency for International Development who resigned because of their opposition to the Reagan administration’s decision to vote against the draft guidelines Dr Stephen Joseph, chief health official of the agency, and Eugene Babb, chief agriculture and world development officer for the agency.Speaking at a news conference this week where they and prominent physicians urged the White House to reverse its stand, Joseph, a pediatrician and top ranking official with AID, said the administration has been “swayed by the self interested arguments of the infant formula lobby." “This is not an issue of free enter prise versus governmental regulation,” Babb said “A no vote on this code will signal the world that the United States does not care if our firms behave irresponsibly overseas." • • I tm ¦Séjdu*.mn à do nc odd do V «AÎIÛ hlOSOBtf Quebec has already banned free infant formula samples in hospitals and Federal Health Minister Monique Begin hopes the other provinces will follow suit. 14 TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1981 Ztecriril Stanbridge East Senior Citizens’ activities The Stanbridge East Senior Citizens held a card party on April 10 at 8 p m.in the Memorial Hall for the benefit of the Cancer Campaign After the crowd was assembled at the tables, the President, Mr Bracey welcomed everyone, thanking them for participating in the project.Special thanks were extended Mrs.Grace Short and the wonderful co-operation of her helpers, those who furnished and donated to the worthy cause Admissions at the door were looked after by Mr.and Mrs.Landault.500 was played at 21 tables and Bridge at 3.Ladies 1st in 500 -
