the prospect of being included in an eventual provincial freedom of information act.says the Union of Quebec Municipalities.In a strongly-worded brief presented Wednesday to the legislature committee on communications, Jacques O'Bready.mayor of Sherbrooke and president of the union of municipalities, said Quebec’s towns “have established a long tradition of democracy.” The commission of inquiry headed by journalist Jean Pare which recommended that Quebec introduce freedom of information legislation overlooked this tradition and other considerations in suggesting that the law apply to municipal bodies.The union was particularly upset by a recommendation that was interpreted as meaning that nearly all municipal council, executive, and committee meetings should be held in public.There are many subjects which require private deliberation.O’Bready said, adding that if the provincial cabinet is authorized to hold closed meetings, so should municipal governments.'Is the commission allowing itself to judge with a double standard,>’' he asked O’Bready also accused the Pare commission of being ignorant of the way municipal governments work, saying that the time frame proposed for the application of freedom of information provisions is unrealistic.And if municipal governments and bodies were obliged to give the public access to all their documents, O’Bready said, they would have to spend time and money to reorganize both the way information is collected and the way it is managed.The Quebec Union of County Councils also expressed concern about the possibility of making public all the deliberations of municipal councils.Sign law bothers ET businessmen Births, Deaths.7 Business.5 Classified.8 Comics.9 Editorial.4 Living.6 Sports.10 They may give the temperature in Celsius, but the bill for the air conditioner still comes in dollars and cents.“I said — THIS IS A STICK-UP!” Boycott potatoes, farmers urge By Timothy Belford Under the terms of Law 101, Quebec's controversial language law, all bilingual signs and billboards should have disappeared from view by Tuesday.A quick tour of the Eastern Townships however, indicates many area businessmen would be caught with their signs up if officials from the Office de la Langue Française, the agency charged with application of the law, insists on immediate compliance.Although nowhere near the reported 25 to 30 per cent of Montreal businesses, local hold-outs against the law can be found on almost every street in commercial districts.In Magog, owners of the CTermont-Courchesne Pharmacie - or Druggists as the sign indicates — haven’t really given it much thought.“We didn’t really think about it actually.but what choice do we have?” says part owner Normand Desfosse.“We rent our sign and I don’t know if the company is going to charge us extra to change it or not.” Desfosse, who was forced to change the sign on the store once already because of a regulation requiring the use of the pharmacist’s own name, feels that it is just one more irritating government regulation.He also pointed out that when the sign changes because of the law, he must also change the store’s stationery and business cards.Down the street at the Judon-Vig-neaux Hardware store, owner Jean Vigneaux is even more adamant.“I won’t change mine until someone comes and tells me to.I’d like to see some examples first, especially with the big companies.” Vigneaux says that he doesn’t like the government imposing this kind of law on him nor does he appreciate the added expense.“It’s a very basic matter of politeness to serve them (English customers) in their own language.” The threat of a fine, $500 for individuals and $1,000 for companies, doesn’t seem to bother Vigneaux either and he readily points out that the Office de la Langue Française would be better off if it spent more time going after the many suppliers, particularly from the U.S.A., who still send him merchandise without French-language labels.In Waterloo, the owner of the Waterloo Muffler Shop, Roger Forand, can’t understand wrhy the government doesn’t leave well enough alone.A native of Waterloo, Forand feels the

for beef farmers hard-hit by rising interest rates, but says the program could be a prelude to a more radical beef marketing scheme.Whelan told reporters Wednesday he will seek support from his cabinet colleagues for the plans.He made the statement after meeting about 20 beef farmers from Bruce County in western Ontario, most of whom threatened to leave the beef industry because of two consecutive years of losses.“1 encouraged them to hold on as long as they can until we come up with programs to keep them in business,” Whelan said Although he was not specific about the type of relief to be proposed to the federal cabinet, Whelan said he would take suggestions from the meeting to Ottawa.One of those suggestions was a stabilization plan that would guarantee a minimum price for beef.The minister disputed statements last week by Charles Gracey, manager of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, that th.answer to beef problems is reduced production, not a marketing plan.HULL, Que.(CP) — West Quebec potato farmers have won at least partial results from their demand that consumers boycott local supermarkets that don’t sell area-grown potatoes.Some of the farmers gave away several tons of regionally grown potatoes a week ago to protest their inability to get them stocked on local shelves.This week they urged consumers to "leave your full shopping carts standing if you notice that a local store doesn’t carry home-grown potatoes.” Food store officials now say they will talk with the farmers.Potatoes sold in most area outlets come from Ontario.New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.Other farmer complaints include having to scrub their potatoes before they will be accepted by Steinberg Ltd.buyers and having to ship their product to Montreal wholesale markets where they come into competition with potatoes from other parts of the country and where their west Quebec potatoes lose their identity.Within hours of the boycott call, officials from Steinberg’s and from Dominion Stores Ltd.said they were prepared to talk with the farmers.Dominion spokesman Roger Acton said his firm is prepared to supply locally-grown potatoes to its Quebec outlets in Hull and Gatineau.reasure (JW CADEAUX Full oil production back by Tuesday Changes in signs pose added expense for hard, pressed Townships businessmen Rl-.CORD/PtRRY BEATON CALGARY (CP) — Premier Peter Lougheed didn’t declare triumph in the wake of the federal-Alberta energy pricing agreement but as he toted up the list of conquered provincial objectives W’ednesday an impression of victory was hard to avoid.Lougheed also promised to restore full oil production by next Tuesday.Alberta had cut oil production by 120,000 barrels a day or 10 per cent of capacity and was on the verge of another 60,000-barrel reduction when the accord was reached.The premier, attending a news conference with Energy Minister Merv Leitch, stuck to the line he and Prime Minister Trudeau put forward when they announced the agreement in Ottawa.The accord was a victory for all Canadians, Lougheed said.The Canadian economy would benefit from a stable energy policy and consumers would have secure supplies of energy within the next 10 years, Although he didn’t use the winner- Canada Indian law violates UN treaty—judgement GENEVA (Reuter) — Canada has violated a United Nations human rights treaty in refusing a Canadian Indian woman the right to live on her tribal reserve after marrying a non-Indian, a UN committee said in a judgment issued Wednesday.The committee panel said Canada breached an international covenant on civil and political rights in refusing Sandra Lovelace the right to return legally to the Tobique Indian Reserve in New Brunswick with her children after divorcing her non-Indian husband.The Canadian government told the committee that Lovelace, now 32, was in fact living on the reserve with her parents, but the Tobique band council itself refused to allocate her a separate subsidized house.Dissident tribe members had threatened violence if authorities try to remove her, the government reported.The band council had argued priority for housing should be given to registered Indians.The UN Human Rights Committee said Canadian law which deprives women of Indian status if they marry outside the tribe, while allowing men to keep their minority rights, also could be considered a violation of the covenant because it made a distinction on the basis of sex.The committee, the only UN human rights organ which can rule on in dividual complaints, said an Indian Banks ignore credit card laws TORONTO (CP) - Canada’s major banks are ignoring laws in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta that say they can’t charge interest on credit card accounts if customers didn’t receive bills during the mail strike.While the banks are allowing some credit-card customers to forget the interest charges if they complain about them, they are forcing other customers to pay, even if they live in a province banning the charges The Quebec government says it will force banks to abide by the province's laws banning such interest charges.All but one of the banks operating credit-card systems in the province are charging interest despite the law, The National Bank of Canada had all its Mastercard bills delivered by courier in Quebec and Ontario during the 42-day strike to meet the requirements of those provinces.Ontario and Alberta also have laws that forbid charging customers interest unless they’re provided with written bills.But Ontario officials say they're unsure whether the province’s Consumer Protection Act would be upheld if challenged in court Alberta says it won’t require banks to follow the provisions of its Credit and Loans Agreement Act, which requires credit granters to provide ‘‘periodic statements” if goods are bought with a credit card and “monthly statements’’ if a credit card is used to borrow money.WON'T SEEK COMPLIANCE But Donald Frayn of the Alberta department of consumer and corporate affairs, says the province won’t require banks to follow the law because “one has to take into account circumstances such as a mail strike.” “I don’t think anyone should use the strike as an excuse.Our position is that people are responsible for paying a debt “ In Quebec, however, the government says it intends to enforce its law because it says that until the consumer receives a statement of account at his home, the merchant cannot exact credit charges on the unpaid balance except on advances of money woman who wanted to marry a non-Indian faced “serious disadvantages” under (’anadian law and this could lead couples to live together without getting married This raised questions about whether Canada was complying with covenant provisions on protecting the family, the committee said But it made no ruling on this section of Canada’s Indian Act because Divclace married and lost her rights as a Malecite Indian before Canada signed the international covenant.Sandra Lovelace said Wednesday she is pleased by a United Nations committee’s decision recognizing her status as an Indian after marrying a non-Indian.But she acknowledged in an interview the decision isn’t binding on the Canadian government and may make little difference in her crusade to be restored to full native rights on the Tobique reserve.The Canadian government told the committee an average of 510 Indian women marry non-Indians every year in Canada “lam glad about the decision but that doesn’t mean we (Indian women who marry non-Indians) are going to get our status back," Lovelace said in an interview "Now that they made that decision.hopefully we will get it back right away and not wait.We want it done right away." She claimed the federal government knew for 10 years that the Indian Act discriminated against women but said it was up to band councils to pressure the government into making changes.“I hope they (federal officials) don’t wait another 10 years.“The Indian leaders don’t represent Indian women at the political level or at the national level They never did, so why would they do anything if there was no pressure put on them?” Lovelace, a 33-year old Maliseet, said with her current status she can t vote in band council elections or own land on reserves.“I couldn't do anything I was like a woman without a country.I want the government to demolish that discrimination right away and to reinstate all the former band members who have lost their status.” The Canadian government also told the UN committee it was planning a new law under which Indian women like Lovelace could be registered as Indians and no one would be deprived of status.Lovelace said she now will ask Indian Affairs Minister John Munro whether the government will take action on the issue.loser context, Lougheed said Alberta had achieved the objectives it set for itself at the start of the dispute.The agreement does not damage Alberta’s royalty position on oil and gas and cements the concept of provincial resource control, the premier said.Farmers will be able to survive increased gasoline prices resulting from the energy agreement only if marketing legislation to cover production costs is established, says the president of the National Farmers Union Ted Strain said in an interview Wednesday that expected price increases affecting production and transportation will be “almost unbearable for farmers.” “If the government is so flush about guaranteeing oil producers profit, maybe our only salvation will be if the government starts guaranteeing farmers the cost of production.” The terms of the energy pact obviously did not consider the needs of the agricultural industry “and the huge amount of energy required for production,” said Strain “This will almost certainly contribute to inflation.” He said established farmers will barely be able to survive and those just starting with a heavy debt load “will be in serious trouble.” “When fuel was 20 cents a gallon and went up to 30 cents, we thought it was deplorable I am shocked at the thought of paying more than $4 a gallon.” CBC techs will vote next week SYDNEY, N.S.(CP) - Radio station CJCB says a memorandum of agreement has been signed between negotiators for the CBC and its technicians, on strike across Canada for more than three months.The station quotes union spokesman Dave Cameron as saying the technicians will vote on the agreement next week and could return to work as early as next Thursday if the terms are accepted Cameron said the memorandum of agreement was signed early this morning in Toronto.) 2 THURSDAY, SEPT.3, 1981 Ouellet changes will destroy enterprise —Chamber EDMONTON (CP) — Bob Dowling, president of the Alberta Chamber of Commerce, says a change to the Combines Investigation Act proposed by federal Corporate Affairs Minister Andre Ouellet would destroy the free enterprise system He told a news conference Wednesday although the act’s review is a federal responsibility, it is imperative the provincial government get in- volved Dowling, a former Alberta cabinet minister responsible for tourism and small business, called the proposal “one of the most devastating pieces of legislation ever to come before Parliament " •It destroys anything that resembles the competitive enterprise system.It makes illegal almost anything in the way of mergers or takeovers of any kind Dowling made the comments following a meeting betw'een chamber officials and members of the legislative assembly.The chamber is particularily con cerned that the courts, when examining proposed mergers, would have a specific set of statistical restrictions to follow concerning market domination.That would further the state's intervention in the field of corporate mergers.PKKSKNTS KRIKF The chamber presented the MLAs with a list of recommendations dealing with such areas as labor and energy.Dowling said the chamber is also concerned with the damage already caused by the national energy program • Although the energy problem has been resolved, the problem is still there with regard to the effect of the national energy program ’’ Work must begin immediately if Alberta is to be ready for the resurgence of petroleum-related development, he said Among the recommendations, the chamber suggests that the definition of a strike in the provincial labor act be expanded to include any activity, such as a work-to-rule campaign, designed to reduce productivity.“These tactics have been utilized by unions to bring pressure upon employers or governments to make changes which should legitimately be the subject of collective bargaining or grievance procedures,” the chamber brief said.Manson follower Atkins NeWS-in-brief weds in prison FRONTERA, Calif (AP) Former Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins and a self-described “unemployed millionaire” were wed Wednesday in a California prison where the bride is serving a life sentence for multiple murders, prison officials said The groom, Donald Lee Laisure Sr , 52, of Houston wore an orange leisure suit for the private ceremony.His diamond ring was 12 carats, he said Hers was 3.9 carats Atkins, 33, is serving a life sentence at the California Institution for Women.Prison superintendant Sylvia Johnson said in a statement that the private ceremony, which lasted about an hour, began at 2:55 p m.PDT.Along with Manson and two other women, she was convicted in the 1969 stabbing deaths of actress Sharon Tate and four others and the subsequent killing of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca She and Manson also were convicted in the torture-murder of musician Gary Hinman.“She's gonna be out a hell of a lot sooner than anyone thinks,” Laisure said, adding that he has a total of 16 prominent lawyers across the U S trying to obtain her release "It's just a love story .and Lm going to be with her to the end of time.” ‘Only God could possess to produce the beauty ultra beautiful, in Susan Tfoneybear' Laisure said, the creativity that is (he comparable Atkins.” Laisure said Atkins had applied for a 72-hour conjugal visit but he did not know when she would be allowed that visit He said he hoped they could consummate their marriage by the end of the month.Laisure has said he first met Ms Atkins while he was taking pictures along a Southern California roadside in 1965.He said she pulled her Corvette Stingray to the side of the road and that it was love at first sight.They have corresponded ever since, he said.Atkins has become a born-again Christian during her prison stay and has portrayed herself in yearly parole hearings as a changed woman.She is due for another parole hearing this month.Stowaway Salvadoran boy reaches Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (AP) -

employees of the Johns-Manville asbestos mine in nearby Asbestos, laid off since last September, learned they would not be rehired this year.The term became even more threatening when it was learned earlier this week that another 193 employees, many with six years of seniority or less would also be joining the unemployed ranks because demand for asbestos fibres was slipping further than had been expected.According to company officials demand for the fibre has been steadily dropping since last year and there is no end insight.“We thought we had hit rock bottom this past summer with demand down 50 per cent from last year,” says Marc Gosselin, public relations officer for the company, “but now it’s getting worse It is now 50 per cent down from last year and there is nothing we can do but cut back further.” And though Gosselin could not say if there would be more layoffs after October, many of those who are about to be laid off have heard rumors more workers will be given their notices in the next two months.As a result, talk amongst Danville residents, who have depended on the mine for a comfortable livelihood for years, is not about who just bought a house or car or who just got married; the talk is about who is selling their house or car and who is moving away.They must move away because few industries in the area can match the job opportunities or wages the mine offered.With a weekly payroll of just under $1 million and up to 2,000 jobs created at any one time, the mine meant easy street for many area residents, many having few skills and only a high school leaving certificate.One family that did move away two months ago was the Barlow family — Gary, his wife Ann and their five-month-old baby son.Gary was one of the first 175 to be laid off a year ago when the company said a drop in con- struction activity and automobile production, as well as bad publicity over the health question of asbestos fibres meant an indefinite layoff period.Barlow didn’t worry because his wife was working at the mine’s office and he had no debts to take care of.The chance of being rehired was still there.But when a further 225 employees were put out last January things began to change and the Barlows decided to look elsewhere.Barlow contacted a brother-in-law at the Butterfield Tool and Die Company in Smiths Falls, Ont.His luck paid off, and he now has work training as a machinist at a factory where, he says, there is two years worth of back orders and contracts to complete.The future for the Barlows is promising considering Smiths Falls is where Butterfield intends to move its Rock Island operation — a move it announced one year ago.“In two years the plant will be large enough to take up all the work from Rock Island,” said Barlow in a telephone interview from Smiths Falls.“I’m happy to leave the area because there is nothing left in Danville I don’t think it’s going to get any better.” With the future not good in the area, many residents who are now expecting a layoff have already planned their exodus from the province.One mill worker who didn't want to be identified said he had just received his notice yesterday.His intention is to leave for Ontario to apply for a mechanics course sponsored by Canada Manpower He is planning this move even though his wife is still working and he has no present money problems.For him there is no hope of getting a job here anymore.His only hope is to have a skill that will insure him steady employment, although probably not in Danville.But for Bruce Lockwood, a laid off mill worker, his future is still in the Eastern Townships.He had been working at the mine for a year and a half when he was laid off a year ago He is optimistic about getting by, even with a wife and a 13-month-old daughter and a mortgage and few unemployment cheques left to come “I’m not worried,” says Lockwood, “My wife has a good job as a physiotherapist in Sherbrooke and I’m a skilled carpenter.I could probably get work in other tow ns around here.’ ’ Lockwood has no intention of leaving the area calling such a move “an easy way out”.“I’m the only member of my family to remain in the province.My family has their origins here.” Lockwood is surprised to see friends whom he thought were settled in their home town, suddenly pack up and leave.But many people who have sold their houses did so last year.They were lucky to do so according to real estate agent Yvan Letourneau.According to Letourneau housing prices went down 10 per cent in the last year and more houses are up for sale, many of them being sold by laid off workers.Letourneau told The Record it is still too early to tell if there is a housing glut in the area.All three of the former JM employees see a worsening trend for the company and feel the fibre health question and the resulting bad publicity has been a major factor in creating the layoffs.“The publicity is unfair and harmful,” sasys Lockwood, “People are still alive and working, I don’t see what the newspapers are trying to do.” Says another worker, “My father has been working at the mine for over 25 years and he is still healthy.You can get cancer eating bacon these days or get killed in the street — what is so different about working with asbestos?" But these arguments come too late to stem a tide of unemployment in the area that many believe is sure to grow as local businesses cut back in response to the diminished payroll and the austerity.For now what is on the minds of workers is the hard realities of switching from an average salary of $300 per week to $162 they receive on unemployment.According to one worker, laid off last year and whose wife is expecting their first child, a major concern is what to do when the benefits run out.“The only job I can get around here is at Brown Shoe in Richmond They pay about $130 a week clear and that’s less than I’m getting now.” He too is hoping to get work in Smiths Falls if Butterfield calls him.‘When they come and tell me, I’ll have to change’ Some businesses will choose to wait for orders from the Office de la La;

DECIDED TO STAY The Baraghis came to Canada with their children last year when Firouz got a one-year teaching assignment at the University of Western Ontario W’hen they were informed he had lost his permanent teaching job at an Iranian university and that his wife had lost her high school teaching job at the same time, the family decided to remain in Canada.ABBOTSFORD Mrs.Rufus Coates Miss Jean

females in the regular classes.Grand Champion Female over all breeds was Cessnock Farms Sleeping Katy owned and shown by Derwin MacKinven of North Hatley.Douglas Johnston won the Ayrshire classes and both Premier Breeder and Exhibitor banners.Holstein championships went to Romeo Doyon of St.Edwidge and reserve to Andre Couture, Cookshire.There was only one beef breed shown at the ‘Cliff, but the Herefords put on a good show, with a lot of quality com- ;.hi ^ peting in the show ring, The Taylor-Parker family won the Champion ribbon for their bull and Aubry Schwartz of Blue Hills Farm of the champion female hereford 4-H'ers and Young Farmers presented their calves and competed in showmanship classes on Friday.Winners in the Junior division for showmanship were Chris Hatch and Colleen Keet for beef and Stacey Johnston and Annie Roberge in dairy.In the type classes, champions overall dairy breeds were Stéphane Routhier and Pierre Demers with Holstein calves.In the senior section, grand champion dairy calf went to Benoit Ruel and reserve to Eric Nadeau.Champion showmanship ribbons w’ent to Pauline Antink, Hatley Club and Martin Verroneau, Barnston Club.A judging competition was also held and Pauline Antink once again was the winner over all, with Helen MacKinnon winning first in the girls section and Angus MacKinnon winning first among the boys.Goats galore turned out for the fair, and the coveted red, white and blue ribbons went to Susan Sarrasin for Junior champion female and Chris Hatch for Junior Male.Senior female and male champion went to a billy and nanny shown by Nelson Mastine, Trenholmville.About 40 sheep came under the judges' hands Saturday afternoon, and the Mastine family won the award for Champion Ram over all breeds in that section as well.Horses, both heavy and light were shown each day of the fair, and Roger Bolduc won the trophy for the best heavy draught team on the grounds, as well as several other championship ribbons for his pure-bred Belgians.Another first was chalked up in the Maple Products division as six new competitors joined the show.A new memorial plaque was inaugurated when May MacDonald presented the award in memory of her husband Sam who passed away recently.Mr.Mac donald was a supporter and exhibitor at the ‘Cliff for many years, and gave many a new competitor a helping hand.Ethel Davis was the recipient of the Philip Webster Special.Davis accumulated the most points in the section covering handmade quilts, bedspreads and such.The smaller fancy work section awarded the Special Memorial to past directors on the ladies committee to two ladies who tied for highest aggregate.Heather Pott and Janice Santerre both accumulated 16 points, with displays where quality and workmanship were at their best.The Women’s Institutes and Cercle des Fermieres have a special corner where displays of fancy work and handmade clothing were on display.One could imagine the long hours of painstaking work when the quality and precision of the articles was examined.Judges were unanimous in their appraisal, and each and everyone claimed they could have given more first prizes than anything else.The weekend was filled with activities in every corner of the grounds.Joe Brown and his guitars made enjoyable music, and the country fair atmosphere was complete when harness races took place on Saturday afternoon.Rounding out the weekend, the cattle and horse parade gave spectators a first hand glimpse of the new champions, special presentations introduced the exhibitors to the crowd and a machinery parade displayed some of the expensive tools today’s farmers must have.“It was’a record breaking fair on all counts," Turner Hunter stated Sunday night.“Entries were up in most sections and attendance records were broken every day of the exhibition.” Projects on the Building Committee’s program were encouraged by several donations made during the fair and proceeds from the beer tent will also be applied to these programs.“We would like to finish the horse barns for the next fair,” Willi Antink, chairman of the committee said, “and with such cooperation and support, we won’t have any excuse not to,” he concluded.The ribbons were tasty photo/claudia bowers ^ 1 STTM IV.• » ^ .PHOTO/CLAUDIA BOWERS The Antinks on parade.Willie’s grandson David leads the procession nth I I ASHA I ' -aC’

than five minuUs to play to give Montreal Manic a stunning 3-2 upset victory over Chicago Sting in North American Soccer League quarter-final play Wednesday night The Manic travel to Chicago on Saturday for the second game of the best-of-three series against the heavily-favored Sting, who captured the ( entrai Division championship wih a 23-9 won-lost record in regular-season play.In their maiden season, the Manic are routinely turning in upset performances against higher-rated teams and their effort Wednesday night before a record capacity crowd of 58,542 was no exception.The Manic trailed 2-1 at the end of the first half and seemed incapable of penetrating the tight Sting defence Hut Manic defender Damir Sutevski tied the match at 61:41 on a long, slow kick from centre circle that Sting goalkeeper Dieter Ferner touched but couldn't deflect.Ferner was injured at 79:05 of the second half and replaced by Paul Coffee, who surrendered Willey’s game-winning goal (iRANITZA TALLIES Chicago got off to a fast start as star forward Karl-Heinz Granitza drove in a direct free kick with just 5:10 elapsed in the first half after he was interfered with by defender Kadi Martinovic in the Montreal penalty area, The Sting continued to press with a series of attacks, picking holes in the Manic defence with short, crisp passes, followed by shots which came perilously close to entering the goalmouth The assault paid off at the 25:36 mark with a long shot by Sting forward Ingo Peter, who angled the ball neatly past an unsuspecting Bob Kigby in the Montreal goal, Montreal retaliated minutes later with its first goal of the game as veteran Gordon Alec Hill, whose overtime goal Sunday night lifted Montreal past Los Angeles Aztecs, fired a sizzler past Ferner.Thompson Usiyan and Sutevski assisted on the play.Hill’s goal at 27:38 breathed new life into the Manic side which, driven by the wildly-enthusiastic crowd, began a series of strong drives against Chicago.Montreal coach Eddie Firmani had praise for the record-capacity crowd that filled Olympic Stadium.“I’ve been in this league for a while and would go as far to say that they are one of the greatest crowds in the world.It’s like an extra man on the field for us.It's a tremendous feeling for the players and we always seem to entertain at home.” In other first games of the quarterfinals, New York Cosmos defeated Tampa Hay Rowdies 6-3, Jacksonville Tea Men edged San Diego Sockers 3-2 in overt ime and Fort Lauderdale Strikers blanked Minnesota Kicks 3-0.Cosmos 6 Rowdies 3 In Tampa Bay, former Rowdie Steve Wegerle scored two goals to give the Cosmos the first game of the best-of-three series.Angelo DiBernardo, Vladislaz Bogicevic, Francois Van Der Elst and Ivan Buljan completed New York’s scoring.Tampa Bay had two goals from Luis Fernando and one from Peter Roe The series moves to East Rutherford, N.J., for the second game Sunday night and, if necessary, the third match Wednesday.Tea Men 2 Soccers 1 (OT) Bob Newton scored with only five seconds left in overtime to give the Tea Men the win in Jacksonville.Alan Green also scored for the Tea Men and Rico Rohmann had San Diego’s goal.The series moves to San Diego for the second game Sunday night and game three, if necessary, on Wednesday.Strikers 3 Kicks 0 In Fort Lauderdale, two goals by forward Branko Segota and another by Keith Weller accounted for all the scoring.Seaver handcuffs Expos in shutout win Si ftiSI 'èMm MM ) Tom Seaver pitched eight shutout innings last night before retiring to the v lowers.CINCINNATI (AP) — Tom Seaver claims he doesn’t worry about numbers and records at this stage of his career.He had a chance to prove it by walking out on a possible shutout Wednesday night.Seaver, 10-2, pitched two-hit baseball for eight innings, and Cincinnati Reds shut out the Montreal Expos 7-0 in National League play.But following a 40-minute rain delay in the middle of the eighth, Seaver let himself be taken out of the game.“When he came off the mound I said to him, ‘Does a shutout mean anything to you?’ ” manager John McNamara said “He said no, so I said.'OK, take a hike.’” If Seaver had completed the shutout, it would have been the 55th of his career.He’s already tops among active pitchers.“If Walter Johnson had had about 65 shutouts, I might have gone back out there," Seaver said, not quite seriously.“But he had 113 of them, so I don’t worry about catching him.“Actually, I didn’t have too much left.I was pretty stiff.” Three rain delays came within one minute of equalling the playing time of the game, which stretched out over 43/i hours.Tim Raines singled in the third, and Warren Cromartie doubled in the fourth for the only Expos hits.Seaver walked one and struck out seven.FOSTER HOMERS Stan Bahnsen, 2-1, was pressed into service as a starter because the Expos are short of pitchers since Steve Rogers was injured Ijist week, Williams said.Bahnsen lasted just two innings and gave up a three-run blast to George Foster that was one of the longest home runs ever hit in Riverfront Stadium.Foster’s towering 17th homer of the season hit 50 feet up the left field foul screen that rises 330 feet from home plate.Bahnsen hit Dave Collins with a pitch and walked Ken Griffey to set the stage for Foster’s home run.Collins led off the third with a double off reliever Rick Engle, making his first major league appearance.Griffey singled in Collins and scored on Dave Concepcion’s double.Concepcion singled in two more in the fourth.Engle, called up from Denver on Wednesday, wouldn’t have lasted even the two innings he pitched if Tom Gorman, a roster addition from Memphis, had arrived on time, said Williams.“Gorman didn't get to the ballpark until the third inning,” Williams said.“He was delayed two hours getting out of Chicago.” Gorman shut out the Reds on one hit in three innings, but by then it was too late for the Expos.• • • After he singled home the tying run in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday night, Eddie Miller thought he knew what was expected of him next — use his legs to score the winning run.Moments later, after he stole second and third base for his second and third steals of the night, Miller dashed home with the winning run on a 200-foot foul fly by Jerry Royster to give Atlanta Braves a 3-2 National League baseball victory of Philadelphia Phillies.Cardinals 5 Giants 2 Keith Hernandez knocked in two runs Sport shorts COATICOOK (MG) — The Coaticook Athletics are just one victory away from defeating Lasalle Cardinals and pulling off one of the larger upsets in the QMJBL this season.Tuesday the A’s beat the Cards, 5-3, in Lasalle.Guy Landry was the winner in that game and, Francois Bellefeuille, one of the best lefthanded in QMJBL, was the loser.Outfielder Steve Shelton and Jean-Guy Cyr slammed homeruns for Coaticook.Yesterday the A’s were supported by a strong defense and their bats exploded for an exciting 3-1 triumph before 669 fans in Municipal Stadium.Coaticook scored once in the second inning and twice in the sixth Winner Michel Croteau kept the Cards off the scoresheet until the fifth inning Croteau struck out four Cards and walked two.Jean-Guy Cyr preserved the win striking oui three in the last two innings.In the sixth, Steve Shelton and Jean-Guy Cyr doubled and Alain Bolduc reached base on an error to give Coaticook the win.Elsewhere in the QMJBL, Shawinigan Cascades took a 1-0 lead in the Eastern final with a 6-3 win over Three Rivers Eagles.SHERBROOKE — Sherbrooke Country Club’s longtime pro Joe Leblanc died suddenly Friday.Leblanc had been the pro at Sherbrooke for many years and will be greatly missed by all those who knew him, both as a friend and a golfer LAS VEGAS (Reuter) - Wilfred Benitez’s defence of his World Boxing Council light-middleweight championship scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled because of a failure to find a suitable opponent, the promoters announced Wednesday.BOSTON (AP) — Hard exercise increases levels of a natural, narcotic-like pain killer in the blood, a finding that might explain the euphoria that joggers call “runner’s high”, doctors say.The finding, though still speculative, bolsters claims that daily running can be addictive.Runners complain of feeling out of sorts if they miss a day of exercise, and they may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms.• TORONTO (CP) — Outfielder Jesse Barfield and right-handed pitcher Dale Murray have been called up to Toronto Blue Jays, the American League baseball club said Wednesday Barfield, 21, spent the 1981 season with Toron to’s Double A farm team, Knoxville Blue Jays of the Southern League.• MOSCOW (Reuter) — Anatoly Pisarenko, 23, of the Soviet Union, set world records for the super heavyweight snatch and total lift at a weightlifting meet in Podolsk on Wednesday, Tass news agency reported.His total of 984.5 pounds was 5.5 pounds more than the previous record held by his compatriot, Vasily Alexeyev, and his snatch of 443.3 pounds topped the previous best by Olympic champion Sultan Rakh manov of the Soviet Union by 1.1 pounds.Seeds advance in U.S.Open NEW YORK (AP) — Second-seeded Bjorn Borg of Sweden and ninth-seeded Roscoe Tanner of the United States breezed to first-round victories in the U.S.Open tennis championships Wednesday, while Argentine Guillermo Vilas, seeded sixth, struggled before downing little-known Drew Gitlin.Borg needed only one hour, 15 minutes to crush Marcus Gun-thardt of Switzerland 6-2, 6-2, 6-0, while Tanner took one minute less to dispose of American Craig Edwards 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.Vilas, who won the U.S.Open in 1977 when it was played on clay, fought off a determined bid by Gitlin, a former Southern Methodist University star, 6-3, 6-7, 6-0, 6-4.Borg, who never has won the premier U.S.tennis event, had no problems with Gunthardt, a member of the Swiss Davis Cup team.The Swedish right-hander rode seven aces and his usual assortment of impeccable groundstrokes to victory.“I’ve been playing well here, but I haven't been playing well enough," said Borg.Borg, who had been seeded No.1 for four straight years until this year, said he is feeling less pressure now.“I felt pressure before because 1 won the French (Open) and Wimbledon and I was going for the Grand Slam,” he said.“I feel better mentally this year.” Being seeded No.1 or No.2 “doesn't make any difference,” Borg said.“Those two players won’t face each other until the final anyway.” Borg lost his serve only once — in the fourth game of the second set.But he never was close to being in trouble.Scoreboard BASEBALL NATIONAL I.KAGl K Second Season Last w L Pet.L -M.S( Louis 13 7 .650 Montreal 12 9 .571 I'j Chicago 11 12 478 3'2

expected to give Team Canada its first serious test of the Canada Cup hockey tournament tonight.“They had the cream of the crop to pick from,” said U.S.coach Bob Johnson said Wednesday of Team Canada.“We’re looking forward to this game, accepting it as a challenge.“We’ll be playing the best team in this tournament.To me, the Soviet Union does not have as good a team as Team Canada.“The Russians are good but they’re missing the type of forwards — the Maltsevs, the Kharlamov’s — who could make the big play.” Also today, Czechoslovakia plays Finland here and Sweden meets the Russians in Winnipeg.Canada blitzed Finland 9-0, the U.S.defeated Sweden 3-1 and the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia tied 1-1 in tournament openers Tuesday.Canadian right winger Ron Duguay thinks the match with the U.S.will be tough.“The U.S.plays a type of game that’s a lot similar to ours,” Duguay said.“It’H be a lot closer checking than the game against Finland.As long as we don’t get away from our game, we’ll be OK." Team Canada’s ‘game’ is unrelentant offence.The most explosive and colorful forward line has Wayne Gretzky as centre between Guy Lafleur and Gilbert Perreault.Head coach Scotty Bowman also relies on the New York Islander line of Bryan Trottier, Clark Gillies and Mike Bossy.“Every line they throw out there has great firepower,” said Johnson, hockey coach at the University of Wisconsin.“Skating, that’s their biggest asset.” CAN’T MAKE MISTAKES Team USA defenceman Ken Morrow said his team can’t afford to make mistakes.And, said forward Dave Christian, it must guard against falling into a defensive shell.“We’re going to have to be very quick,” said Christian, a member of Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League.“When we break up a Canadian rush, we’ll have to get the puck up the ice quickly.“We feel we can give them a good game and stand a good chance of winning.” “We can’t let them bring the game to us.We have to attack them, too.We can’t sit back and expect (goaltender Tony) Esposito to have a big game.” S47-2M4 TILDEN TAR RENTAL A MOVING TRUCKS WEEKEND SPECIALTY 4M1 King S» W ShtrtroeAc Val E»»rN Font___ CEMENT GRAVEL TOP SOIL SAND CRUSHED ROCK POWELL TRANSPORT Inc.TEL: (819) 562-0212 Res.: 562 0803 Le 5 AU ON A breeze of delightful flavor SEPTEMBER PROMOTION SPECIAL TOURNEDOS NEPTUNE $-795 Filet of Beef, garnished with " shrimps, scallops, green peppers, and tomatoes on rice served from 17.00 h.to 23.00 h.except Saturday night.Polynesian buffet served Monday to Friday from 12.00 h.to 2.00 h.fCAORX Every evening, our chef Tom will prepare you delicious Japanese specialties.WELCOME We now have seven halls at your disposal for banquets, meetings, receptions, etc.3200 King Str»«t West, Sherbrooke Reservationst 567-3941 f c 11 THURSDAY, SEPT.3, 1981 1____ttei lœcora Around the Townships HIIUIITON On August 19, Miss Betty Jane Halsall boarded a plane from Toronto, Ont., landed at Edmonton, then northwest for about 100 miles to Whitecourt, where she spent a week with Mr.and Mrs.Douglas Whit-tingstall and family, whom she found well.During her stay she was enthralled with such areas as Jasper Park, Columbia ice fields, and Lake Louise, very majestic, beautiful, and interesting, but on her return, she found the Eastern Townships was equally beautiful.When Mr.and Mrs.Gordon Harron were in Sherbrooke to visit her maternal aunt, Mrs.Clive Thompson in the Sherbrooke Hospital, they found her improving.After having called to see Mrs.Thompson, her son Russell, and Mrs.Thompson with Leslee, Kevin and Debbie, were pleased to find her better.They called at the Murray home en route to Sawyerville.Their home is in New Hamburg, Ont.The last Sunday of August was a pleasant one at the Murray home when Mr and Mrs.Earl Murray of Dollard des Ormeaux, with their children, Allen, Jennifer and David made a surprise visit and a bit later Mrs.A.W.Murray of Scotstown, and Stanley Murray of Burlington, Ont., joined them.The Murrays had attended the auction of Mr.Duncan McLeod, in the more than a century-old country store of their paternal great-grand- father, on August 29 and of Jean’s paternal grandfather, D.L.McLeod, Mr.Bill Provis, representing the Gideons was in charge of the morning service in the Birchton United Church on Sunday.His message was inspring, also his announcing that Mrs.Raymond Stevenson was improving after her recent surgery at the CHU.May you steadily regain your better health, Jean!

box was brought in to gain new ideas for future meeting.Grant Macdonald had put his “Family Tree” on display for all to see, as well as his life history ‘Mad as hell’ on mortgages TORONTO (CP) — Like the irate public in the movie Network, Canadian homeowners upset about high mortgage rates are banding together to tell the federal government: “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it any more.” During the last three weeks, grass-roots movements have been springing up to challenge the government to do something about mortgages rates, which are now over 21 per cent.The groups have threatened to withhold mortgage payments if the government doesn’t act soon.One .m.wement.jg let},,by .Chris,,Guest, 42, of Brampton, Ont.BVbw .Guest, president of the three-week old Mortgage Protection Association, has taken a temporary leave of absence from his job to see his association become the representative of homeowners across Canada.Guest says his phone has been “ringing off the wall” with people eager to join and take the association’s pledge to stand united.HAVE TO ACT “We’ve got to do something about it,” he said this week.“We’ve got to keep mortgage rates down.If it does on like this we’ll be the last generation to own houses.” So far he has a petition with more than 1,000 names.Guest says he hopes to have 300,000 when he presents it to Prime Minister Trudeau on Sept.15.Planning to joining forces with the Brampton group is a group from Midland, Ont., called LIVE — Cower Interest rates Vital to the Economy.Founded by Stan Dion, 29, last week, the group's membership has grown to more than 300 in Breath will tell four days.The St.John Homeowners Association from St.J in, N.B., was formed last week at a meeting attended by more than 300 people facing mortgage renewal.Organizer Dianne Bowen said they may meet with the other groups on the steps of Parliament Hill on Sept.15.Bowen, a single parent with a $600 monthly budget, pays $374 a month on a $34,000 house.Her mortgage will be renewed in September.“There is no way I can pay twice as much each month and live,” she said.“Something has got to be done.There are a lot of upset and unhappy'people.” WANT FREEZE The groups are demanding the federal government implement mortgage control, freezing mortgages at 12 per cent and extending terms to five years, said Guest.They also want the government to put a stop to foreclosures, penalties and evictions.If the government won’t accept those demands and doesn’t come up with concrete ideas, he said, the Mortgage Protection Agency will ask every homeowner across the country to stop their mortgage payments on the same day.“If there are enough of us, all on the same day, it will start a panic across the country,” said Guest.“We won’t be afraid (of legal action) if it’s a united front.We are talking about the life blood of so many families.” Guest said people who don’t own homes also have joined the group to pressure the government to change its interest-rate policy.of each year to date.Mrs.Albert Cameron brought in the geneology of Abner Kneelan White’s nine children with some of their descendants.Abel Calkins White, of which those at the reunion were descendants was the oldest of these nine children.She also brought in a Certificate of Service from the United States Army for James Norway.James White’s second wife, Martha Alice Norway White.He was wounded in the American Civil War in the two day battle of the Wilderness.This battle took place May 5 and May 6, 1864, with the Federal Troups losing 18,000 and the

able to get pregnant, by analysing her breath or saliva, researchers claim.• The finding, presented recently at a meeting of 'the American Chemical Society, could lead to a simple home test to tell women when they are fertile, they said.• James Kostelc and George Preti, chemists at the Ivionell Chemical Sense Centre in Philadelphia, stumbled onto the result while they were studying the causes of bad breath.; They began to suspect the amounts of certain sulphur-containing chemicals, the prime source of bad breath, varied with the reproductive cycle.Their suspicions were confirmed.; They next found a similar chemical change took place in women’s saliva.; The most dramatic change was seen in a sub-5 ta nee found in the saliva called n-dodecanol.They found that levels of n-dodecanol were 10 times as high at ovulation as they were at other times, fegardless of the patients’ health or diet.; They now are trying to discover exactly what happens in the mouth to cause the increase in this Substance, Kostelc said l “It makes no difference what the oral health of the woman is,” Kostelc said.“And diet has very little to do with it.” I The researchers have done thousands of hieasurements of such chemicals in saliva and the breath, but they have only tested the cyclic Variations on two women through two menstrual cycles each.I The reason, they said, is that it takes six months to analyse the daily samples obtained from one patient during one menstrual cycle.> The next step in the research, Preti said, is to repeat the tests on many more women, to get more accurate measurements of the connection between the chemical changes in the mouth and the reproductive cycle.• Once that is done, he said, it’s relatively easy to develop a home test to measure the chemical changes EVENING

SEPT.3, 1981 —___wei IFBCOm Phobias: White-knuckle travellers find help at last TORONTO (CP) -Phobia victims aren’t supposed to derive pleasure from watching specially simulated television movies dealing with the very source of their fears.In fact, the more anxious Ihey become during a therapy session seated before a television set at the Freedom From Fear Foundation in Toronto, the more satisfied is behavioral therapist Paul Griesbach Grlesbach, employing an audio visual technique developed by Dr John Jameson, director of the Behavior Therapy Institute in Toronto, said that the success rale for people who fear flying, for instance, and undergo the audio visual therapy is about tio per cent In addition, Griesbach is working in conjunction with Air Canada per sonnel, pilots and technicians in a program for victims of airplane phobia.The program involves accompanying victims to Toronto International Airport where they board a plane and are taken step by step through everything from the cockpit to the safety features on board Pilots and technicians explain the plane's operation in great detail, endeavoring to allay fears that so many airplane phobics have, "The majority of people I see have to fly because their careers demand frequent travel,” said Griesbach in a recent interview."And the majority fear impending disaster.They no longer have control over their fate" "White knuckle" travellers, as they are aptly called, can literally go into a state of shock Their symptoms can include a feeling of claustrophobia, a loss of control, pounding heart, sweaty palms, a light head or dizziness and a sinking leeling in the stomach."Like all phobias, fear of flying is an irrational fear.” said Griesbach "It.like all phobias, is a learned anxiety response to being in an aircraft " SKK IT ALL In the audio-visual presentation victims are told to concentrate on the anxiety-inducing scenes in a movie that depicts just about every fear and concern that a flying phobic can expect, from High) delays to a rocky, turbulent trip or the look of concern on a pilot’s or flight attendant’s face."All thé time they are in a real-they are more to the said sitting there life situation adding catastrophies scenario,’ Griesbach There is one scene in the presentation where the phobic (a man) travelling from Toronto to Los Angeles is faced with several stops en route.His reaction is Trans-A tlantic struggle for service, not fares EDMONTON (CP) Service rather than price is the key to competition for the traveller’s dollar on flights from Western Canada to Great Britian.Airlines do not control individual fares, says David Savage, northern Alberta district manager for British Airways.Prices are set either by the Canadian government or the International Air Transport Association.Although charter fares have been slashed from the present level of $7% return, to$539 return as of Oct.l, Sandy Gardiner, a British Airways spokesman in Toronto, said they will not lead to a trans Atlantic price war among major carriers.The October rate is about 21-per-cent below normal for that time of year, Gardiner said, but they are the same as those offered by Air Canada The two, who must set their fares jointly according to an international pool Jacoby's bridge The Mexican Contract NORTH -3-81 4Kys ?10 9 3 2 ?A K 4 K J 10 9 WEST EAST ?9 2

lead: VK By Oswald Jacoby and Alan Sontag “The Mexican Contract" by Allan DeSerpa and published by Max Hardy is another story based on players at a bridge tournament.Most of the hands in the book are taken from various advanced bridge texts (Allan gives credit in all cases) but a couple of simple ones are apparently self-composed.In this hand, South gets to a reasonable five-dub contract.Allan points out tlm North might well have doubled three hearts, but that three hearts might well be brought in.The stage is set by the fact that East is a very poor player.West opens the king of hearts and continues with the queen.East assumes that South holds the ace.He ruffs with his six of trumps.South overruffs with the queen and leads a trump.West takes his ace and leads the jack of hearts.East does not know that his seven of trumps is now sure to take the setting trick.It doesn't make any difference.East decides that South probably revoked on the last heart and holds the ace.So East ruffs

will be in extras For example, British Airways is offering nightly hotel accommodation in London for $14 a person, while cars can be rented for $21 a day.FUEL COSTS The carriers are walking a thin line in their effort to keep charter prices competitive, however.The reduced rate comes despite high fuel costs which forced a price increase earlier this year.An export tax imposed May 1 by the Canadian government on aviation fuel increased fuel costs to 33 cents a litre from an average of 20 cents.British Airways expects the tax will add an extra $R million in annual operating costs for their Western Canada routes.And Air Canada spokesman Jack Wallace describes the present travel market between Western Canada and Britain as thin, adding the country’s economy is largely to blame, “It is not an expansion market.It is very tight.” Wallace said the Crown corporation’s revenues were down this year and does not see the United Kingdom market growing, especially with British Airways getting a larger piece of the action between Canada and Britain, He said carriers and operators are moving into programs to offer lower-cost accommodation outside major centres, adding that Air Canada is moving into more markets with more charter-class fares.IS THIN Max Ward, president of Edmonton-based Wardair International Ltd., agreed with Wallace that the market is “a little thin’’ lor three major carriers."It’s been a poor year for general traffic out of Western Canada, with the pound up and the dollar down," said Ward.Wardair’s net earnings for the first half of 1981 fell to $1,211,000, com pared to $7,113,000 for the same period last year.This year's earnings so far are almost completely accounted for through the sale of fixed assets of $1.2 million.Last year’s figure includes the sale of a fixed asset, which brought in $2.1 million.Ward noted that more people are flying from Britain and Europe to Western Canada than the other way around.“The whole economy is down.We're certainly not in the happy days we were in four or five years ago." blind panic which is noticeable through fist clenching, a sweaty brow and twitching "Flights that make more than one stop increase anxiety more dramatically," said Greisbach.W E N T T H R O U (i II CRASH Passengers who fear flying aren’t the only patients that Jameson and Griesbach are in contact with.They have also Ireated several survivors of a crash landing at the end of a runway at Toronto’s International Airport in June, 1978, of an Air Canada DC-9.“They were obviously terrified about ever flying again,” he said, "and with good reason.” However, of the seven treated by the Freedom From Fear therapists, six are flying again.Use of audio-visual techniques in therapy reduces the amount of time therapists must spend with a phobic patient, Jameson said.He said he sees the technique as a growing trend in therapeutic applications in treating everything from neurotic depression to many other types of phobias and fears.Other audio-visual films which will be available eventually will help agoraphobics people who experience a morbid fear of anything and everything outside of their own homes; claustrophobia, the fear of being enclosed; acrophobia, a fear of heights and unnatural fears of disease, dirt, death, animals and others.LABOR DAY DANCE Sot., Sept.5,1981 at the Salle Jean Paul, Victoria Rd., Bury
