Like all Montrealers, the 10 provincial premiers meeting here to discuss the constitution have a bad case of baseball fever.A spokesman for Ontario Premier William Davis said the premiers had considered going to Olympic Stadium Poisoning nets Lacroix 10 years SHERBROOKE — Roger Lacroix was sentenced to 10 years in penitentiary Monday for trying to murder his wife by slowly poisoning her with arsenic.Lacroix, 48, showed no emotion when the sentence was read by Justice Carrier Fortin of Quebec Superior Court.He was found guilty last Thursday at a 12-person jury of attempting to murder his wife, Ginette Therrien-Lacroix, by putting arsenic in her food and drink over an eight-month period last year The victim, a nurse, spent several months in hospital.She is still wearing leg braces as a result of paralysis from the poison and is undergoing physiotherapy and other medical treatment.The jury rejected defence arguments during the 15-day trial that Lacroix had merely tried to make his wife ill with the poison because he loved her and wanted to make her stop taking large quantities of prescription drugs.Monday afternoon to see part of the final game between Montreal Expos and Los Angeles Dodgers.“Maybe just for an hour, enough time to grab a hotdog,” he said.But the idea was turned down even though some of the premiers were enthusiastic.The spokesman would not say who wanted to go and who didn’t.Eight provincial premiers said they will not renew formal constitutional negotiations with the federal government until November, despite a warning by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau that his patriation package is going to London by the end of this month.And some of the premiers who attended the day-long meeting of all 10 provinces said it is up to Trudeau, not them, to compromise if there is to be any federal-provincial agreement on bringing the constitution to Canada from Great Britain.“It’s his (Trudeau’s) package, not ours,” Manitoba Premier Sterling Lyon told reporters.“He’s got to make some changes.” Speaking through British Columbia Premier Bill Bennett, the eight provinces opposing the existing federal constitutional proposals rejected Trudeau’s invitation for a final pre-patriation conference next week but invited the prime minister to meet them the first week in November.However, Trudeau said in a CTV interview broadcast earlier Monday that his proposals for patriating and reforming the constitution, including the entrenchment of a human rights charter, are going to Britain for final ratification by the end of October whether or not the provinces agree.A spokesman for Trudeau said Monday night the prime minister wants to discuss Bennett’s statement with senior cabinet members today in Ottawa before announcing whether he will agree to abandon the October deadline.Ontario Premier William Davis, one of two premiers who have been supporting federal constitutional proposals, welcomed the decision by his eight colleagues to meet Trudeau.New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield, the other federal ally, refused to comment on Bennett’s statement, although he earlier endorsed Trudeau’s October deadline.Other premiers said Hatfield’s position remained unchanged.Hatfield and Davis attended portions of Monday’s meeting with the other premiers.Lyon said the eight provinces planned to discuss today lobbying tactics they can use in London should Trudeau Stick to his October deadline.In a rare show of unanimity, the 10 provinces agreed to ask Trudeau to meet them for a two-day discussion on economic issues in early December.The Supreme Court of Canada ruled last month that Trudeau has the legal right to change the constitution.! J I Employees lose in Sutton closing , By Merritt Clifton SUTTON — Closed for two weeks and rumored in difficulty for a month, Paramount bakery has called a meeting of over 90 creditors, to take place at 10 a.m.next Tuesday in the Granby courthouse.In lieu of declaring bankruptcy.Paramount will offer to pay off debts at 20 cents on the dollar.Paramount owes $200,000 to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, $174,000 to 93 suppliers of goods and services, $17,000 to the Continental Bank of Canada, and $11,300 to four preferred creditors, including Hydro- Quebec, Revenue Canada, Revenue Quebec, and former owner T.C.Corry, who retains control of Paramount Farms Bakery Ltd., conducting all nonbakery operations.Since 1978, the bakery itself has been owned and operated by the father-and-son partnership of Ehrhard and Christian von Glasow.Layoffs began about six weeks ago.Truckdriver Joseph Edgar says he was fired, while on vacation, for refusing to move to Montreal where he would have served a new company warehouse.Jean Gilbert, who spent 13 years in the bakery packing room, claims she was prematurely retired at about the same time, on only three days’ notice.“The length of time I worked there, I should have had eight weeks’ notice,” she .contends.Edgar and Gilbert have joined together in filing a grievance with Quebec’s minimum wage commission.Later Paramount also asked Dorothy Sherrer to retire prematurely, after spending 10 years wrapping bread.Sherrer refused, and was among 20 employees laid off two weeks ago when the bakery finally shut down.See FORMER Page 3

businessmen are encountering hostility from U.S.customers and tension between Canada and the United States is “dangerously near to being out of control,” Hugh Whalen, chairman of the Canadian Export Association, said Monday.Whalen told the association’s annual meeting the situation “cannot be allowed to continue” because the United States buys 60 per cent of Canada's exports.Keith McPhail, an association director, said trouble with the United States is only part of the problem.Canada’s investment policies had provoked similar reactions in the United Kingdom and West Germany, even if they don’t get as many headlines.And “regardless of why the problem exists, we have to recognize that it does exist and is a handicap to us.” Whalen said later in an interview that one thing the federal government should do is drop any idea of expanding and toughening up the Foreign Investment Review Agency because “it’s not in Canada’s interest.” (Paul Robinson, the new U.S.ambassador toCanada, said last week that he has it from the highest authority that FIRA will in fact be "reined in.” Industry Minister Herb Gray denied that any such decision has been taken, Sadat terrorist plot suspicion rises ¦ «aWW- m UKCOlil) PERKY HEATON Downtown spot burns A fire tore through the Grand-Mere Italien restaurant early this morning leaving the building gutted.The popular eating place located at 33 Wellington Street North, burned to the ground as over 50 firemen and 10 officers battled to keep the blaze from spreading.Local fire department officials are uncertain this morning what caused the fire hut have established the source of the blaze as the rear of the building.The alarm was first sounded at 12:55 a.m.and nine trucks were dispatched to the scene.Firemen fought the blaze for over five hours and several members of the unit were still involved in clean-up and surveillance activity as late as 9 a.m.Although several firemen received minor injuries when a floor on which they were standing collapsed there were no serious casualties, according to Captain Gerard Boudreau.CAIRO (AP) — Evidence that the plot to assassinate Egyptian President Anwar Sadat involved more than the four suspected killers mounted Monday as police disclosed the arrest of 230 "religious terrorists.” The evidence was reported in the semi-official newspaper Al-Ahram, and in Mayo, organ of the ruling party.The papers said police had uncovered evidence of a “secret religious terrorist organization” three weeks before men said tc be Moslem fundamentalists gunned down Sadat and some of his top aides Oct.6 at a Cairo military parade.Al-Ahran said the group carried out a number of thefts to finance operations, and evidence indicated that it also was receiving funds “from the outside.” No foreign country was named.Sadat had been informed last month of a plot to assassinate him.said the daily Al-Ahram, but insisted on going through with a Sept.26 public appearance in Mansura, a Nile delta city some 115 kilometres north of Cairo, and alleged home base for the fundamentalist group Al-Ahram said the organization was led by Abud Abdel-Lattf el-Zomor.A military source identified him as an army lieutenant-colonel in his early 30s who deserted his post at military intelligence several weeks before Sadat was killed and that el-Zomor was believed to have directed the plot from his home town of Mansura.Mayo, weekly organ of the ruling National Democratic party, said the group was planning a number of political assassinations, as well as “working to spread chaos, terrorism and hooliganism, and concentrating their attacks on police headquarters to paralyse their activities.’’ Mayo said that security forces, in the course of arresting 230 religious fundamentalists in the last few days, had uncovered “documents” outlining the group’s organization and operating methods.It said the organization included members of the illegal Takfir Wal Higra (Atonement and Flight From Sin) religious sect, as well as young people from the so-called Islamic groupings which Sadat cracked down on last month in a bid to end sectarian tension that had repeatedly resulted in bloodshed.“The organization functioned on three levels: a group that plotted and planned and assigned duties, a group that executed operations and was informed of their chores shortly before they carried them out, and a third group that had a role after the operations were carried out,” Mayo said.Don’t plan takeover CP warns Air Canada but would not say if or when the government will go ahead with its plans to strengthen the agency.) CAUSING PROBLEMS Whalen said the government’s national energy program and its plans to increase Canadian ownership of the petroleum industry to 50 per cent by 1990 were also causing problems.But he said the main problem there “is a real lack of understanding in the U.S.about the situation” and he thinks the program should remain intact.“I suspect if the United States was 72 per cent dependent on foreign investment for their petroleum industry they’d think a little differently.” Whalen, a vice-president at Canadian International Paper, said tension is growing on both sides as the issues — energy, investment, acid rain, fisheries and others — become increasingly emotional.MONTREAL (CP) — CP Air issued a stern warning to Air Canada on Monday : Don’t try to take us over and stop trying to get our routes.In a speech to the Canadian Club, CP Air president lan Gray warned that his Vancouver based airline is ready to fight off incursions by publicly held Air Canada The crown corporation, said Gray, appears to be in a position to go to war with CP Air."Any government crown corporation, with its access to the taxpayer’s purse, can put any private competitor out of business, if it has a mind to do so," said Gray "All that it needs to do is to price its product at a level where the private competitor cannot earn a sufficient return on investment to attract and retain equity capital investment ”1 suspect that Air Canada, with its recent infusion of Canadian government equity financing in excess of $300 million, may be contemplating such tactics.It has a deep pocket and a long arm " Gray was reacting to comments made by Air Canada president Claude Taylor in Vancouver recently, suggesting that his airline should get some of CP Air’s routes and that, eventually, there'll be room for only one airline in Canada.Petro-Can model not convincing for U.S.WASHINGTON (CP) - Petro-Canada is generally good for Canadians, a U.S.congressional study concludes, but does not yet provide a convincing model for a similar government oil company in the United States “In general, our study Indicates that Petro-Canada has made an important contribution to improving Canada's energy situation, and is likely to play an increasing role in this regard under the Canadian government's new energy policy,” sais the General Accounting Office, an investigative agency of Congress, in a report issued Monday At the same time, referring to the U.S system of providing profit and tax incentives to private oil companies, the 56-page study adds: “In spite of the positive contributions of the national oil company to Canada's energy situation, these achievements might have been achieved with a more indirect approach such as that employed in the United States.” CITES DEMANDS The study was conducted in response to periodic proposals In Congress that the United Slates — alone among major countries entirely dependent on private petroleum companies — should establish a national corporation on the model of Petro-Canada or similar national companies in Europe and Japan But the accounting office does not attempt to compare the two approaches, concluding that "both would have to be viewed in the context of the economic systems and institutions of each country.” $ I 2—The RECORD—Tuesday.October 20.1981 Oil monopoly report ‘delightfully ambiguous’ OTTAWA (CP) - A lawyer representing Gulf Canada Ltd.has belittled and attacked a federal report's finding that the major oil companies “harmonized” their activities to achieve monopoly power.Describing the word as delightfully ambiguous, J J.Robinette said Monday it has no technical or legal meaning to support charges consumers paid billions of dollars too much for petroleum products between 1958 and 1973.However, after only one day of

and independent service station operators, plans to show the opposite.The authors of the federal report argued through their lawyer Gordon Henderson that control and concentration of ownership by the major oil companies needs to be curbed in such areas as marketing of petroleum products, refining and pipeline ownership.NEEDS COMPETITION The Consumers Association of Canada argued that lack of competition has opened the door to unnecessarily high prices.Association lawyer Howard Wetston accused the major companies of operating more service stations and self-serve outlets than necessary The results of such overbuilding have been a costly and non-competitive exercise for the industry and consumers end up paying more so the companies can cover what amounts to unnecessary costs, he said.Jim Conrad, executive director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Petroleum Marketers, said independent retailers have been subject to abuses of power by the oil giants since 1958 They have restricted supplies to independents and charged unfair wholesale prices and several retailers are prepared to risk economic retaliation by the major oil companies to testify before the commission, he said.Two Americans, one Swede win Nobel Prize News-in-brief STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two American scientists and a Swede won the 1981 Nobel Prize in physics Monday for their work with spectroscopes — “stronger spectacles" to look at atoms And a third American shared the chemistry award with a Japanese professor for “milestone” theories on chemical reactions.Monday’s awards brought to six the number of Americans sharing in this year’s 10 Nobel laureates.The Swedish Academy of Sciences gave the physics prize to professors Arthur Schawlow of Stanford University and Nicolaas Bloembergen of Harvard University.Prof.Kai Siegbahn of Sweden’s Uppsala University shared the award and will receive half of the $216,000 (Canadian) prize money.In chemistry, Polish-born Roald Hoffmann of Cornell University and Kenichi Fukui of Japan’s Kyoto University split the $216,000 award.Bloembergen and Schawlow, who received his doctorate from the University of Toronto, were cited by the academy for their “contributions to the development of laser spectroscopy,” used to study atoms with laser light beams.Siegbahn, whose research was based on work that won his father, Manne Siegbahn, the same award in 1924, was cited for developing “high-resolution electron spectroscopy.” It is used for the study of electrons expelled from atomic systems by different processes.The two spectroscopes, which help scientists analyze the composition of matter by measuring light waves and other forms of radiation, have important industrial applications, Swedish scientists said.Among other uses, they are helpful in studying corrosion, combustion and catalytic reactions, they said.The winners greeted the news with a mixture of glee and disbelief.Cops crack down on buy-a-bride schemes VANCOUVER (CP) — Buy-a-bride arrangements, where potential immigrants pay money to have temporary marriages set up to get them into the country, are the object of a police and immigration crackdown.Police and immigration officials won a case on Monday against two men who conspired to arrange marriages of convenience for prospective immigrants from India.Officials expect these cases to increase because of legislation introduced by the federal government last week that will require East Indians to have a visa to visit Canada The marriage scheme involves finding a potential spouse who, for about $3,000 cash and living expenses paid for as long as a year, is willing to take part in a marriage that lasts until the wedded immigrant is granted landed immigrant status.Several cases are being investigated in the Kamloops-Okanagan area of central B.C.and three people have been charged in another case soon to be brought before the courts, said RCMP Cpl.Laurie Dewitt.MEN INVESTIGATED Dewitt, in charge of

hunting shooting fish in a barrel NAVY ISLAND, Ont.(CP) - Hunters had an easy time picking off deer Monday on the opening day of a controversial deer hunt.Bill Cupolo of Niagara Falls, Ont., one of the first hunters allowed on the tiny island six kilometres upstream from Niagara Falls, said he saw 60 to 70 deer during a two-hour period before he took his first shot.He bagged a 145-pound buck

hunt was like “shooting fish in a barrel" and unnecessary.But Ontario natural resources ministry official Paul Drysdale said the hunt is necessary to reduce the deer population on the island There are about 150 deer on the island while only 20 to 30 can be supported by its winter vegetation, he said.Drysdale also rejected the idea of moving the deer, saying southern Ontario regions are already over-populated and Nothern Ontario contains predators with which the deer would be unable to cope.There was no evidence Monday of any protest by Save A Deer, which on Sunday sailed a yacht bearing protest signs around the island One resources ministry employee said he counted 30 deer within a 15-minute time span At least four deer were shot Monday.More than 550 hunters have applied for ministry permits for the hunt, but only 190 hunters will be allowed on the island for two days each #1___tel tfecara George MacLaren, Publisher 569 95 D Charles Bury, Editor 569 6345 Lloyd G.Scheib,

Merritt Clifton FARNHAM — Destroying the Yamaska River in order to save it isn’t Front Depollution de la Yamaska founder and president Rene DuBois’ idea of progress.But, contemplating the eroded riverbanks near the future site of Famham’s $4.5 million sewage treatment plant, DuBois fears that’s exactly what’s happening.Rather than tear up Main Street to install new sewage collection pipes, the Farnham city council elected to lay the pipes along the Yamaska bed, saving both inconvenience to business and excavation costs.DuBois, however, feels the environmental cost of digging up the river wasn’t reckoned An earthen causeway now obstructs one Yamaska channel, where the river flattens out below the second Farnham dam.This could lead to flooding, with continued heavy fall rains.It definitely causes silting, covering the river-bottom stones where crayfish lurk and clogging fish-gills.Without this and other upstream sewage treatment plants, the entire Yamaska River fish population would be threatened.Massive fish-kills virtually ceased a year ago, not because pollution did, but because too few fish survived to die after each chemical spill or stretch of hot weather in noticeable numbers.Nonetheless, “They did not need to build the sewage plant this way,’’ DuBois believes.“It’s terrible what they’re doing to the river.I do not know how they will ever restore it, replacing the uprooted trees and dredging the blocked channel back to the former depth without causing further silting.Lague Inc of Farnham Centre is building the Farnham sewage treatment plant, with experience gained in building smaller plants at Brigham and Sutton.But the Brigham and Sutton jobs didn't involve having to rebuild an entire ecology, under government supervision.“It’s in their contract, written right in,” DuBois continues, “that they have to put the riverbank back the way it was." The Service protection de 1’en-vironment photographed the bank before construction began, and if they stick to their guns, it will look the same two years from now.However, fulfilling isn’t as easy as promising.“I don’t know how they’re going to get the gravel out of there," DuBois speculates, contemplating the half-mile causeway, 30 feet below road level, with limited access points.In addition.DuBois believes Lague and the Farnham council, under deadline pressure and eager to cut cost overruns, may be willing to sacrifice restoration for speed and economy.“They were not too bappy,” he observes, “when they were shut down for several days” in September because of violating Quebec river pollution standards.DuBois also remains concerned about other aspects of Yamaska River pollution.“Our drinking water is not too bad,” he says, since the government built a pipeline to draw exclusively from the Cowansville fork of the river, “but if it still came from the Granby fork," still running black with sewage and industrial waste, “it would be undrinkable" While having semi-palatable drinking water has reduced local outcry, and especially reduced the Front Depollution de la Yamaska's public profile, the members continue monitoring the river, pressuring Quebec for faster and stronger action “Down the river toward St.Cesaire,” DuBois claims, recounting his favorite pollution story from this past summer, “a man caught a three-foot pike”.That was unusual enough, because pike have become rare in these waters But that wasn’t all.“Do you know what he found inside it?A bottle of beer! The fish can maybe swallow the beer and not suffer too much harm, but what of the bottle?Can he get the bottle out?And what damage does it do inside him?” DuBois is additionally concerned about the Canadian Pacific Railroad’s use of asbestos as track ballast near the river A year ago he didn’t consider the asbestos ballast a major issue.Now he’s reconsidering “There’s supposed to be a Quebec government study giving some facts on the asbestos,” he says “I understand it looks not too good for the river.But no one has seen it.You know," he continues, “the CPR is still using asbestos.They just cover it up with other kinds of rock.They think maybe no one will notice.” The CPR also recently removed a truckload of asbestos tailings from an area near the Farnham station, for undisclosed reasons.Now retired, DuBois formerly worked for the CPR Syrup a nd Former owner may re-open Paramount bakery sawdust BY JOHN McCAGHEY My, wasn’t that a party! The Thirsty Boot decided to add a bit of fun, drollery, music combined with a bit of either brat or knockwurst, rye bread and-or sauerkraut and let it all hang out.M.A.“Sandy” Martin blows a great tuba, does a helluva job on a slide trombone for an industrial relations manager, and is an otherwise great host for a good bash.Sandy’s notes are great and on key but for a kid who grew up in the era of Artie Shaw, memories came back in a trice.Gerry Blais could do anything Shaw could, and then some, as the quartet were playing in limited space.Mute was the overall note.The bearded bard from Frost Village was his usually fine host yet his contributions were well complemented by cries from some of the more erudite in the audience, the majority not suitable for a family newspaper.-f -h -f Work on the Cowansville municipal library began last week when the first sod was turned over by Mayor Rosaire Raymond and the critical path calls for completion late in March 1982.It forms part of the provincial plan for development of public libraries which was revealed in September 1979 by then cultural affairs minister Denis Vaugeois.The provincial government will provide 65 per cent of the overall costs.The structure to be 8,256 square feet, compared to the present 2,500, will be built adjacent to the Domaine du Parc Shopping Center under the Main St.overpass.It was designed by architects Elliot Sherman, Cowansville, and Denis Fabreau, Granby.The main contract was awarded to Fontivry Construction, of Montreal, with a low tender of $468,740 while Tony Caporicci, Ville St.Pierre, was awarded the $100,000 landscaping contract.Jean Russo, Olpa Corp., Montreal, will act as project manager and the main area sub-contractors are Goyer Plumbing, Cowansville, who will install the heating and ventilation services while the electrics went to Paul Turcotte, of St.Hyacinthe.Vincent Asselin, of Asselin and Ackaoui, Montreal, provided the landscaping design and project engineering will be handled by Tacoman, of Montreal.+ + + “If an inmate came over and asked which tower wasn’t being occupied that night I doubt we’d tell him,” a guard at the Cowansville Penitentiary told us.“If he had any powers of observation he’d probably realize none of them are.” He was commenting on budgetary cutbacks and said the federal government were also considering eliminating some of the positions among the custodial staff.As things stand, none of the guard towers are occupied during the 11 p.m.to 7 a.m.shift, however patrols still circulate around the perimeter fence and have foiled at least one recent escape bid.Brieflets Continued from Page One “There are some negotiations going on,” minority shareholder Claude Schwessig said at the time, suggesting that Paramount might be reopened any day.The banks had agreed to honor the company payroll cheques, he believed.The major obstacle to reopening seemed to be a shortage of flour.Paramount owed Maple Leaf Mills Inc.$40,000, and could not obtain further credit.According to chief baker Shirley Bates, the company inventory, officially valued at $35,000, actually included “only two sacks of crushed wheat flour, three sacks of that - that sort of thing, and a few raisins.” 20 layoff-compensation checks bounced last Thursday, however, including those issued to Christian and Inga von Glasow.Bates lost $620.Sherrer lost $413.Part time payroll clerk Kathleen Edgar lost $194.Workers Beverly McIntyre and Rosemary Childerhouse were able to cash their cheques, but were later informed by their banks that the cheques hadn’t cleared.“The law requires that they will get paid,” Schwessig said Monday.The von Glasows were unavailable for comment.“We still have more than sufficient assets to insure that our employees will get their money, and even if we did not, the directors of Paramount would still be personally, legally responsible for seeing to it they got paid.” Disgruntled employees remained skeptical.“They have not always been truthful with us, or told us what was going on,” Kathleen Edgar charged."I used to do their payroll, and while I did I would hear them juggling their accounts, saying things like ‘we can pay this one now and that one next month ." She believes Paramount had actually been in deep financial trouble for at least OPEN HOUSE An open house will be held on Oct.24th, from 2 - 6 p.m., at the home of Mr.and Mrs.R.S.Butler in celebration of their 40th anniversary.Best wishes only.two years, and particularly since August, 1979, when debts were consolidated with the Bank of Commerce Bates claims that when she received a raise, she was asked to call it a pension plan contribution’ and leave it with the company for reinvestment.“I’m no fool," she says.“I said ‘I’ll take my money in cash right now, thank you just the same’.” Bates says Paramount could “definitely be run at a profit, even now, by competent management.” Agrees Kathleen Edgar, “We still make the best health bread in Quebec.It sells itself, except when they get this rotten flour that they mill themselves, and don’t age properly.” Despite the layoffs, the workers anticipate Paramount reopening soon under new management.Former owner T.C.Corry is rumored to be strongly interested in reacquiring the bakery.“I wouldn’t want to say anything before the creditors’ meeting,” Corry states from his Ville LaSalle office, neither confirming nor denying stories that he had asked laid-off employees if they would be willing to return to work for him.Corry purchased Paramount from founder Bernard Norwell in 1968, and kept it ten years Before selling to the von Glasows, he reportedly offered it to Bates and her husband.“He said we’d have been millionaires by now if we’d taken it,” Bates recounts.Paramount insiders agree that as Schwessig puts it, overinvestment in unnecessary high technology “was a major contributing factor” to the bakery’s insolvency.For instance, Bates recalls, “they bought a mixing machine that was only used in extreme emergencies.Nobody liked it.” An attempt to computerize the firm's business procedures failed when a Former Paramount employees who lost money when their severance cheques bounced.Left to right, Dorothy Sherrer, Joseph Edgar, Shirley Bates, Beverly Childerhouse.RI CORU/MKRRm cur ION lightning bolt shorted out the memory system.“Many's the morning we’d arrive at work to find the repairman asleep in a chair in front of it,” Bates laughs.And there was a bread-packing machine, designed to replace six of the eight workers in that department.According to Joseph Edgar, it didn’t work because “if the bread rises too much, the machine cannot put it into the plastic bags.A girl can stuff it in somehow, but the machine jams and breaks down.” But technology was hardly the only problem.“High interest rates certainly killed us,” Sch wessig adds, since “unfortunately we were never a strong enough company to get by without borrowing money, and when our interest rates double in the space of a year, obviously that has to hurt.” As well, sales volume slumped at the bakery’s own store in Sutton.While this store accounted for only a small portion of Paramount’s total business, “everything hurts.Bread is not the most profitable commodity around at the best of times, and you don’t have tremendous profit margins to deal with.” Schwessig blames the Sutton slump on a marked decrease in the tourist trade this past summer, while roads were in disrepair due to sewage treatment plant construction.The laid-off employees claim ill-advised promotional efforts also hurt.“I took 50 cases of bread to the agricultural ex McIntyre and Rosemary position they held at the Olympic stadium last year," Joseph Edgar remembers.“I brought back 40 cases.This pig farmer from over in Dunham came to pick up our waste and he looked at it and said, ‘I don’t have a big enough truck .” Local creditors agree that Paramount’s proposal to avoid bankruptcy “stinks,” in the Edgars’ word, and believe it will be turned down It calls for Paramount paying a dividend of five cents on the dollar owed one month after the proposal is ratified in Superior Court, another dividend of five cents four months after, a third five cent dividend seven months after, and the final dividend ten months after.Expansion grants aid Townships firms SHERBROOKE Autumn ham and scallop supper, Church of the Advent Hall, Saturday, October 24, 3:30 6:30 p.m.Admission: $4.00 DRUMMONDVILLE (SM) — Five Eastern Townships companies will be receiving Quebec and Canadian government expansion grants totalling $1,078,450 to enlarge their plants and create new jobs.Textiles Dionne Inc.of Drummondville has received $755,000 in grants from the Quebec Société de Dev-elopement to help in the purchase of modern, faster weavers which will allow them to vary types of fabrics used in 04 m THE Harlem =*-!
