One-industry towns abound in the Eastern Townships and Canada.Bishop’s University will be holding a seminar to investigate this phenomenon using East Angus as an example.The seminar, grown out of a suggestion by a sociology class last year, was expanded to 2 two-day conference to include representatives from unions, industry, municipal government, provincial government and the general public.The seminar is designed to provide a forum for students to better understand the phenomenon of the single-industry town and to give the public a chance to express their views on the subject.The conference will be held November 6 and 7 at Bishop's University and the public is invited to all of the sessions.Schedules are available from the univeristy.East Angus was chosen to be studied because it is a local community dependent upon a single industry, the pulp and paper giant Domtar.East Angus will also be interesting because of fears that unless Domtar receives grants from the provincial government it may decide to close its doors.The two-day conference will begin with a field trip to East Angus Friday followed by a discussion on landscape and environment with regard to the politics and depletion.Other topics will be: Alternatives to Shutdown, The Logic of single-industry Towns and The Government’s Role.A plenary session will be held at the conclusion of the event Tuesday night in Centennial Theater.The conference participants include Melissa Clark from Bishop's sociology department, Michael Lustigman (Sociology), Curt Rose (Geography), Robert Van Hulst (Biology), Michel Jurdant (Geography, Laval), Jacques Dufresne (Le Devoir columnist ), Andre Poulin (Geography, U de S) and representatives from Domtar, the union and East Angus municipal government.MONTREAL (CP) — A Quebec government recommendation to complete the mast and roof of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium with a modified and cheaper version of the original design has drawn mixed reaction from architects, politicians and sports figures.The government’s Olympic Installations Board said Tuesday that $64.8-million should be spent to complete the tower and add a permanent fabric roof.However, the proposal scraps other details of French architect Roger Taillibert’s original design, such as a restaurant and observation deck in the tower and a retractable roof.The board chose this plan over four others submitted by James Bay Energy Corp.engineers who were commissioned to prepare a report on how best to finish the stadium.Montreal architect Bernard Jodoin, whose firm prepared one of the other alternatives, said Tuesday the plan recommended by the board has all the disadvantages of the original design and none of the advantages.Jodoin said the stadium will be expensive to heat because the proposed roof is not insulated.“In winter, it will be like heating the outdoors," he said.He added the roof is not designed to take the weight of accumulated snow and will have to be replaced every 10 years.THREW OUT ADVANTAGE He said the board threw out the Taillibert design’s only advantage by recommending a non-retractable roof.Yvan Marsan, an architect who headed the first committee to evaluate the use and completion of the stadium, agreed with Jodoin’s objections.Marsan also pointed out that the height of the proposed tower would add strain to the base which is already showing signs of weakness.He questioned the board’s choice of a plan not studied by the James Bay Energy Corp."Why solicit solutions from advisers if you’re not going to accept any of them?’’ he asked.His committee submitted a report in 1977 which suggested the Taillibert concept be abandoned entirely.Quebec Treasury Board president Yves Berube said Tuesday he did not think the province could afford to spend "The stadium case must be examined from the perspective of its economic, not symbolic, value,’’ he said.The only two Montreal city councillors who are not members of Mayor Jean Drapeau’s Civic Party criticized the cost of the plan.BUILD TWO STADIUMS Nick Auf der Maur of the Municipal Action Group said Montreal could build two new stadiums for the money it will take to complete Olympic Stadium.Michael Fainstat of the Montreal Citizens’ Movement said the stadium should remain as is and the money spent on low-cost housing or community centres.Religion up to parents — principals MONTREAL (CP) - A federation representing 4,000 Quebec school principals says parents, not the provincial government, should decide whether their children receive religious instruction in school.Real De Guire, president of the Quebec Federation of School Principals, was commenting Tuesday on education department plans to maintain religious instruction in schools while eliminating the denominational nature of the schools themselves.De Guire said at a news conference that the present “rigid" denominational structure should be changed.But he added parents should decide whether a school should offer religious education, instead, courses on morals and values.The federation, he said, is in favor of gradual change, not the radical change proposed by the government.The Quebec Council of Minorities, meanwhile, warned Premier Rene Levesque Tuesday that the province’s English-speaking community will not give up control of its school system without a fight.Refusal to allow anglophones such control “can only be interpreted as a direct attack on our community and its institutions,’’ the council said in a telegram to Levesque Shattered Hatfield sought deal MONTREAL (CP) — New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield, visibly shaken after being asked by his provincial counterparts to leave a constitutional meeting here, said today he has advised Prime Minister Trudeau to meet the premiers when they want.Hatfield told an impromptu news conference that he was asked to leave a meeting of the 10 premiers Monday OTTAWA (CP) — Reporters are not to be present during the trials of persons under age 16, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Tuesday in deciding on a controversial Winnipeg case.In a unanimous 7-to-0 decision, the court noted that there are legal provisions for such trials to take place without publicity.The seven justices interpreted the law to mean that reporters are not allowed to attend.The judgment overturned a decision because, “I didn’t surrender, abandon my position or sell out.” "It (the premiers’ meeting) was a shattering experience for me because I bargained in good faith, because I still want to compromise and I want it done in the conventional way.’’ Hatfield said that even after having fought alongside the premiers for things that would benefit all Canadians in the Manitoba courts, which had ruled that reporters could cover such trials if they didn’t reveal the names of the persons involved or other details that could identify them.Winnipeg radio station CJOB and affiliate CHMM won a court order in 1979 allowing them to send reporters to a trial involving a juvenile, provided the identity of the accused was not disclosed.and not just New Brunswick, "1 got the back of their hand" Monday.“Now the battle is on to win more power for the provinces and weaken the strong central government," he said, adding it was clear to him that "Quebec wants no central government." The eight premiers opposed to the Trudeau package maintained a hard line against the prime minister’s deadline of the end of October for any final attempt at compromise The eight offered to meet Trudeau in November, and Hatfield said they weren’t receptive during their meeting to suggestions of compromise.“It was clear they wanted no further discussion and moved that the meeting be adjourned," the New Brunswick premier said.Hatfield, his voice choked with emotion, said he resisted-leaving the session, “(but) some of the premiers didn’t discuss anything while I was present." He said he subsequently tried to reach Trudeau to advise him to hold one final meeting at the premiers’ convenience because, “I still believe in this country.” SCOC bans reporters from juvenile trials

Reagan man WASHINGTON (AP) - The top military officer on President Reagan's National Security Council staff was relieved of his duties and ordered back to the U.S.Army on Tuesday after saying in a speech that the Soviets have nuclear superiority and "are going to strike.” A senior White House official said Maj.-Gen.Robert Schweitzer was fired because he disobeyed a rule that requires all members of the council staff to clear their public remarks with Richard Allen, the staff director and Reagan’s national security adviser "It is also clear that the speech does not reflect the president’s thinking with regard to the state of world affairs,” said the official, who asked not to be named.The aide said Schweitzer concurred in the action, taken by Allen following publication of an article about the speech in The Post newspaper."He thought it would be best to return to his normal duties in order to spare the administration any embarrassment because of his unauthorized remarks,” the official said.Although the general caught White House officials by surprise, Schweitzer said in his speech to the Association of the United States Army that his remarks had not been cleared and might get him in trouble."Well, I think we are going to have to get ourselves in trouble .in order to lay out the threat because the threat is believed not to exist," he said in the apparently extemporaneous talk.By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE - The agricultural land protection commission, La Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Quebec, faced an angry group of farmers yesterday in a showdown With officials of Hydro-Quebec, which is trying to take over some of their land for a sub-station and transmission line from Huntingville to Waterville.Murray Powell of Waterville, spokesman for the farmers affected by the power line, told the commissioners Hydro-Quebec had been giving land-owners a hard time for four years, and they weren’t about to give up the tight.“You,” he said, pointing at the Hydro- Quebec officials, "knew then we would fight to protect our land.” But Hydro-Quebec officials said they needed to get their project underway immediately and the farmers’ delaying tactics were costing the public utility $400,000 a year.Hydro-Quebec was asking the Commission to re-examine its decision to forbid the use of a field belonging to borne and Sydney Butler of Huntingville for their projected substation, and also to allow the expropriation of a right-of-way for a 120 KV transmission line that would carry current from the Huntingville installation to Waterville, over hundreds of acres of farm land.The commission, established to enforce Law 90, Quebec’s agricultural land zoning law, had previously told the power company to find another site for the sub-station, one that would be ‘less damaging for agriculture .The Butlers and the others have been fighting the Hydro-Quebec plans since they were first announced in 1978.They have even suggested several alternative sites for the installation, all of which Hydro-Quebec has said were unsuitable.Yesterday’s presentation by Hydro-Quebec came complete with large color aerial photographs, several large-scale maps of the projected route and the utility's own study of the line’s impact See HYDRO Page 3 4 2_The RECORD—Wednesday, October 21, 1981 Major oil firms deny report allegation OTTAWA (CP) — The major oil companies say they introduced so-called fighting-brand gasoline outlets to make money, not to put independent service station operators out of business.During two days of testimony before a public inquiry into the oil industry, spokesmen for the oil giants have expressed outrage over a federal report's findings that their marketing operations are inefficient and predatory.A sore point is the report’s allegation that the major firms, Imperial Oil Ltd., Texaco Canada Ltd, Gulf Canada Ltd.and Shell Canada Ltd., temporarily entered the no-frills service station market to force out competition from independents and then charge higher prices.Spokesmen for independent retailers and consumer groups also have alleged the major companies subsidize their second-brand stations and self-serve centres from other operations to keep prices down long enough to squeeze out independent operators.A key recommendation in the report is that oil companies be forced to divest themselves of enough retail outlets to ensure independent retailers are selling half the heating oil and gasoline purchased in Canada.The companies have promised to disprove the charges of predatory pricing practices during the inquiry before the restrictive trade practices commission, expected to last at least a year.At the same time, they have attacked the seven-volume report, prepared by the combines branch of the department of consumer and corporate affairs, as a biased misrepresentation of the facts that reaches the wrong conclusions.The charge that consumers were bilked of $12 billion too much in 1980 dollars for petroleum products between 1958 and 1973 cannot be substantiated, they say.Texaco lawyer Claude Thomson told the commission Tuesday that Texaco sells gasoline from its second-brand Regent stations at bargain rates.But he added: “I can demonstrate those Regent centres are profitable and are not being subsidized by other Texaco operations.” Imperial Oil Ltd.also rejected the report’s suggestion second-brand outlets were temporarily employed as predatory tools that were not expected to be profitable.WE SETTLE ESTATES * TAX PLAN YOUR

1970s because of drug-induced psychiatric problems and once pulled a pistol on a nurse, a mental health expert testified Tuesday in the trial of Lewis’s physician.Dr David Knott, who works in a drug and alcohol counselling program at the Memphis Mental Health Institute, was called as a prosecution witness in the criminal court trial of Dr.George Nichopoulos, 53, who is charged with prescribing excessive amounts of drugs to himself, Lewis, Elvis Presley and others.During one hospital stay, Knott testified, an angry Lewis stormed from the hospital after drawing a pistol on a nurse, and on at least two other occasions he had to be closely watched because of suicidal tendencies.Lewis could not be reached for comment on the testimony.Knott said he first treated Lewis in February, 1976, at Nichopoulos’ request after the doctor expressed some concern about Lewis’s use of stimulants.Knott said he learned from interviews with Lewis the singer had a family history of psychiatric problems and Lewis’s own difficulties were compounded by the deaths of two sons and marital problems Knott said his records show Lewis had a 20-year history of drug use.At the time Lewis had prescriptions for a number of drugs, including Demerol, Valium, phénobarbital, methadone, codeine and quaalude, Knott said.Knott said in February, 1977, Lewis was admitted to hospital after Nichopoulos complained: ‘‘He's acting crazy again.” “He said he’s getting amphetamines,” Knott said.“I said from who.He said he was prescribing amphetamines.“I said why.He said, Tm trying to control it because he’s getting

independent real estate broker in the U.S.Three days later, Sears agreed to spend $600 million for Dean Witter Reynolds Organizations Inc., parent of the country’s fifth-largest securities firm.Sears plans to offer a new kind of one-stop shopping; hoses and home mortgages, grease guns and government bonds, blue jeans and blue chip stocks.But Sears is not alone.This year, Prudential Insurance Co., the largest insurer in the U.S., paid $385 million for Bache Group Inc., parent of the sixth-ranked securities firm, Bache Halsey Stuart Shields Inc., while American Express Co.acquired Shearson Loeb Rhoade Inc., the No.2 securities firm, for nearly $900 million.Mark Clark, spokesman for the United States League of Savings Association, said Sears’ moves “raise a lot of questions and concerns in the Congress about the propriety of having non-financial companies entering a highly regulated area without being regulated.” Some experts say that may be why Sears is moving so quickly.Sears is “starting to pre-empt Congress right now,” said Stuart Greenbaum, a banking professor at Northwestern University.“I have a hunch they’re concerned when all legislation is rewritten, their opportunity to enter the banking business may be precluded.” But some analysts say Sears not only is on the right track but also has a good a way that would leave most businesses chance of succeeding.John Landschultz, an analyst with Mesirow and Co., said that by adding services such as mortgages and stocks to its already established Allstate auto and life insurance, all Sears is doing is tapping more customers needs.Sears also has access to customers in How not to get fit wild with envy.About 36 million families — up to 80 per cent of all households in the U.S.— shop sometime at one of Sears’ 859
