members ask Levesque support QUEBEC (CP) — Seven of the original Parti Québécois members of the legislature elected in 1970 and 1973 called on the party Tuesday to support Premier Rene Levesque’s referendum reversing policies adopted at the December convention.Levesque threatened to resign as PQ president unless the party reversed the convention’s hard-line stand on Quebec independence.The seven included six cabinet ministers — Jacques-Yvan Morin, Camille Laurin, Marcel Leger, Lucien Lessard, Claude Charron, and Marc Andre Bedard — and Guy Joron, a former minister.Most of them have supported Levesque, but they said Tuesday that they want to make sure party members fill out their referendum ballots.Ballots are being sent to about 290,000 party members asking for one answer to a three-pronged question: Support for association with the rest of Canada after independence; the principle that most of the popular vote must be obtained before independence is declared; and the protection of minority rights and institutions.Speaking at Tuesday’s news conference, vice-premier Jacques-Yvan Morin said he was afraid “there is a real danger that through negligence some party members will not answer.” And Joron said: “This has nothing to do with the leader.If these three principles are not part of the party platform, I’d be as ill at ease as Levesque in voting for the party.” Schmidt plans no more sanctions WASHINGTON (AP) — West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, attempting to squelch speculation of serious differences with President Reagan over the Polish crisis, says he supports the U.S.economic sanctions against the Soviet Union.At the same time, Schmidt predicted Tuesday that the reprisals will pack little economic punch and made clear that his country has no plans for similar steps although he concurs with Reagan that the Soviets bear heavy responsibility for the military crackdown in Poland.Schmidt and Reagan issued a joint communique at the end of their talks Tuesday blaming the Soviet Union for inspiring the crackdown and denouncing it as a “serious violation” of the Helsinki human-rights accords.“It is obvious that the action would not have taken place without strong Soviet pressure,” Schmidt told reporters.PAP, the official news agency, said production of coal, Poland’s chief export, totalled 617,041 tons Monday, “the first such daily yield for a long time and a good forecast for the new year.” The said tonnage was 90 per cent of the average daily output in 1979, before labor unrest swept the country the next year, and 40,000 tons more than the target set by the government last year.As other evidence of “progressing normalization,” PAP reported LOT, the national airline, will resume domestic flights Friday between Warsaw and Gdansk, Cracow, Szczecin and Wroclaw.Domestic air travel was suspended when martial law was proclaimed Dec.13.East Angus sewers The winter of the big snow There's a lot of snow around the Keith area and the local weather office says it's going to continue.With light flurries both today and tomorrow and more snow in the fore- cast, it won't be long before the old farm implements are completely covered.Post Office defends honor system for stamps OTTAWA (CP) — Postal officials are gambling that Canadians are honest enough to pay the controversial 30-cent first-class postal rate, even though they could probably get away with paying the old 17-cent rate.Karl Mezger, the Post Office’s public relations officer, admits automated machines cannot differentiate between stamps of different values.“The honor system is well and alive in Canada,” Mezger said in an interview.“People are generally very honest.” Although there is a fairly high rate of letters delivered with insufficient postage, people who receive them generally pay up, Mezger said.Sorters do spot checks but it’s basically up to the mailman to check the postage and claim from the person on the receiving end double the amount short-changed.The Post Office estimates that individuals voluntarily paid about $3 million last year.Under the new Crown corporation, the deficit is expected to rise this year but drop to $400 million in 1982-83, to $275 million in 1983-84 and to $50 million in 1984-85.Former firefighter Eli Anderson brought his postal rate protest to Ottawa.but he ran into a brick wall when a postal corporation vice-president warned him he might be breaking the law.Anderson, who heads a small citizens' group from Toronto called The Voice for Concerned Canadians, invited officials from the new Crown cor- Prisoners promised better food MONTREAL (CP) — Prisoners on a hunger strike at the Parthenais detention centre won a promise Tuesday for improved food and investigation of allegations that strike leaders had been beaten by guards.A prisoners’ rights group also asked outside doctors to examine detainees at the provincial detention centre for evidence of food poisoning or brutality.Assistant director Real Legault said about 80 per cent of the 400 men in the centre ate their evening meal Tuesday.A social worker, acting as go-between for the administration, reported that most of the prisoners had apparently agreed to end the strike this morning, he said.Criminal lawyer Frank Shoofey, who represents several clients in the jail, said he had spoken Tuesday afternoon with director Gilles Roussel who agreed food service would be improved.The prisoners had been protesting unsanitary food handling and demanding that their breakfasts be changed, their food served hot and their diet, heavy on starch, be varied The on-and-off hunger strike, which began about two weeks ago, came to a head last weekend when prisoners claimed about 30 men became ill after eating a pork sausage supper.Legault said doctors had found no Historic York evacuated floods turn area to swamp YORK, England ( AP) — This historic city was evacuated Tuesday when floodwaters engulfed hundreds of homes, stores and offices and police asked everyone to leave by 3 p.m.“The whole area is just a swamp,” said Guy Rukin of the Yorkshire Water Authority as melting snow and continuing rain sent floodwater streaming off the Pennine hills and into the River Ouse, which overflowed its banks.Soldiers used boats to rescue the stranded.All main roads into the 2,000-year-old cathedral city were cut off.The river was measured at more than five metres above normal, its highest level since 1947, although York was also badly flooded in 1978 before barriers were built.The barriers held in some areas but were not enough to contain this week's deluge.The thaw-induced floods, after the coldest and snowiest December in Britain this century, claimed three lives on Monday.In York on Tuesday, all schools shut early and were to remain closed Wednesday as forecasters predicted more snow.More than 30 streets were under water in the walled city centre, which the ancient Romans called Eboracum and made their military headquarters in Britain.Extra police were assigned to guard flooded stores to prevent looting throughout the northern city of 100,000 people.Yorkminster cathedral, which took three centuries to complete in the Middle Ages, was not affected by the flooding An eastward-moving storm dumped up to 2.5 metres of snow on Sierra Nevada ski resorts and clogged mountain roads after leaving the West Coast of the United States, where its rain caused mudslides that toppled houses in San Francisco suburbs.At least 33 people have been killed in violent storms in the U.S.since Monday.Sliding mud in a canyon in Ben Lomond, 100 kilometres south of San Francisco, buried at least eight houses Tuesday and trapped as many as 20 people.Other mudslides killed two sleeping children and left one missing in Pacifica and pushed several houses down a Sausalito hillside.The Golden Gate Bridge was closed.evidence of food poisoning, although four detainees had asked for treatment after drinking home-brew liquor.Legault said the jail administrators also agreed to a second request for a later curfew hour on weekends but rejected other demands for color televisions and washer and driers for the prisoners.Shoofey said Roussel told him an investigation was under way into claims of brutality by the guards against leaders of the hunger strike.T just met one prisoner.He had eight stitches in the back of his head,” Shoofey said.“He told me guards took him from his cell, took him down to the hole (isolation cell) and beat him up because he was a leader.” Legault said, however, that his investigations had shown only one prisoner was struck, when guards tried to move him into isolation and he became aggressive.Dr.Antonine Paquet of St.Luc Hospital’s community health centre said the clinic had sent a doctor Tuesday afternoon to Parthenais at the request of the Office des droits des detenus, a prisoners’ rights group, “to see if there was any evidence of food poisoning.” Paquet had not received a report on results of the examination.Families and friends of two detainees said in interviews published Tuesday in the daily Le Journal de Montreal that about five men had been beaten by guards before being thrown into isolation cells.Two of the men were identified as Gaétan Lafond and Real Desjardins.Lafond’s father charged his son had been kicked, punched and hit with clubs by five guards before being left naked in the hole New Year’s Day.Desjardins’s girl friend.Suzanne Valiquette, said he bore marks Monday of a beating on his legs, back and chest.Parthenais detention centre, built in 1969, has been a frequent target of criticism because of overcrowding and poor conditions.Suspects are held there pending trial, sometimes for several months poration to a news conference where he bluntly told them the recent 76-per-cent postal rate increase is unfair.But a man who identified himself only as a postal corporation vice-president suggested Anderson should get legal advice about his leaflet urging Canadians to protest by putting 25-cent stamps instead of 30-cent stamps on first class mail.“You ought to obtain legal advice,” the official said.“You may be counselling the breaking of the law.” Anderson, who said he is in the process of distributing 100,000 copies of the leaflet in Ontario and Quebec, along with a mock protest letter to Prime Minister Trudeau, shrugged off the remark.The postal official noted that under federal legislation, any letter mailed to Trudeau or other MPs needs no stamps.However, under the Canada Post Corporation Act, it is a crime to evade payment by “affixing on mailable matter anything suggesting that the mailable matter is entitled to be transmitted by post free of postage or at a lower rate of postage than that otherwise applicable.” Under the federal Criminal Code it is a crime to counsel others to break the law.Schmidt said his government will not undermine the U.S.sanctions and the two leaders pledged that their governments will commue discussions on the Polish situation next week in Brussels at a meeting of the NATO foreign ministers.But the West German leader did not announce any punitive measures his government might take to parallel the U.S.sanctions that Reagan has directed against Moscow.When questioned by reporters about his complaint of a lack of consultation, Schmidt sidestepped the issue and said: “It is good that we have had these talks.” EFFECT LIMITED He said, however, that the sanctions will only bring limited effect against Moscow because "there isn’t much economic pressure that the West could bring to bear, except for grain.” A grain embargo is not included in the Reagan sanctions.Schmidt said he understands this because of Reagan’s 1980 election campaign promise not to subject one segment of the U.S.economy to such strains.Schmidt said he believes the purpose of the sanctions “was not to cripple the Soviet Union economically but to give a strong and clear signal to Moscow; and this they did.” Poland’s military regime reported nearly normal production in the country's coal mines and also announced plans to resume domestic air service later this week.The military government also said it is holding talks with activists from the Solidarity union, but the significance of these talks will not be known until the participants are named.blow apart EAST ANGUS (TB) — East Angus was rocked at approximately 7 p.m.yesterday as 15 or more explosions shook the municipal garage and sewer system along St-Jean, Bilodeau and Aubin Streets.The explosions were followed by jets of flame which leapt out of the various manhole covers along the streets much like the eruptions of a volcano.Firemen and police from the town acted quickly to check possible damage to the sewers and the municipal garage which is located close to the original explosion.One resident of Aubin Street, whose home was rocked by the explosion was forced to abandon the house when she became worried about the possible collapse of the building.The explosions came about after gasoline from the municipal tanks apparently leaked into the sewage line.Town officials had called the W.H.Adam heating oil company because heavy rains had caused the seepage of water into the town’s gasoline reservoir.The representative from W.H.Adam was instructed to syphon the water off and direct it into the sewers.Somehow during the process, some of the gasoline was also drained off and spread through the system.Fumes from the gasoline apparently then ignited when they came into contact with the heat from the municipal garage’s furnace.It is too early to estimate damage to the system but initial investigations would indicate the garage was the only thing seriously damaged.Claude Morin may resign today QUEBEC (CP) — Claude Morin, Quebec’s placid, pipe-smoking intergovernmental affairs minister, will announce his resignation from politics today, the TVA television network says.Morin, who sold the Parti Québécois on the idea of a referendum on sovereignty-association, refused to comment on Tuesday’s report but told the French-language network he would issue a news release today.The referendum concept, which eased fears that the PQ would immediately declare sovereignty upon winning an election, is widely credited with carrying the party to power in the 1976 provincial election.Most recently, speculation had centred around a cabinet shuffle early this year in which Morin would be given a new post, with the touchy intergovernmental affairs portfolio going to someone more attuned to the outright-sovereignty stance of the party’s strong radical faction.The same radicals brought Premier Rene Levesque to the point of resignation last month when they persuaded a PQ convention to eliminate the goal of economic association with English Canada and call for an immediate declaration of sovereignty if the party wins the next provincial election.Within the PQ, the 52-year-old Morin stands for the philosophy of “gradualism” — the refusal to move faster on the road to independence than the voters will accept.SHOWED IN VOTE His idea was tested in the May, 1980, referendum, which the PQ lost by a margin of 60 per cent to 40 per cent.Morin, first elected for the PQ in Quebec City’s Louis Hebert riding in 1973 and returned in 1976 and 1980, is a veteran theoretician of Quebec autonomy.He was consitutional adviser to the late Liberal premier Jean Lesage from 1961 to 1963 and deputy minister of intergovernmental affairs under Union Nationale and Liberal administrations from 1963 until 1971.Since the PQ took power, he has been Quebec’s only intergovernmental affairs minister.“During all those years, I personally participated, as far as I know, in more than 110 intergovernmental conferences and meetings,” he said in an interview just before the referendum And Morin was close to Levesque in all the wrangling leading up to last November’s constitutional agreement between Ottawa and the other nine provinces, which Quebec decided it could not endorse.He was reportedly depressed by the outcome of those negotiations and withdrew from the public eye for several weeks.Claude politics Morin.to leave 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, January 6, 1982 Three castaways arrive in Honolulu HONOLULU (AP) — Three Canadian castaways — a man and his two daughters — arrived in Honolulu on Tuesday after being marooned for nearly a month on a remote mid-Pacific atoll.John Harrison, 39, a Halifax native who resides in Vancouver, had been stranded with his daughters, Micki, 20, and Kristin, 13, on Palmyra Island, a tiny atoll 1,770 kilometres south of here, since his 12.5-metre trimaran Sisyphus was dismasted in a storm.' They were rescued by Honolulu pilot Fred Sorenson, who made the 3,540-kilometre round trip to Palmyra without assurances he would be paid for his efforts.But the rescue could be a mixed blessing for Harrison.A warrant was issued Tuesday on the island of Maui for Harrison on a charge of felony theft.He allegedly took property belonging to a Sisyphus crew member, Maui County Police Chief Joseph Carvalho said Wayne Stevens, 37, filed the complaint after Harrison sailed from Lahaina Harbor on Maui on Nov.10, leaving Stevens behind while his property was still aboard the boat, Carvalho said.Two other crew members, Ellen Aubrey, 25, and Tim Openshaw, 22, both of Canada, also were left behind and filed complaints with police about loss of their property, Carvalho said Sorenson flew to Palmyra on Monday and offered the Harrisons’ a ride back to Honolulu when he returned Tuesday.Sorenson, a pilot for Hawaiian Airlines and owner of Flight Contract Services Inc., had been hired by Harrison’s former wife and mother of the two girls, Michelle James of Redondo Beach, Calif., to make the rescue.Two dead from exposure could have survived NEWCASTLE, N.B.(CP) — Two New Brunswick men who died of exposure during a severe snow storm that swept through the Maritime provinces last Saturday would likely have survived with a few simple precautions, RCMP said Tuesday.A woodcutter found the bodies of Philip Walter Orr, 32, and Patrick Voutour, 31, both of Newcastle, on Monday in woods 30 kilometres from their homes.Two companions.Dale MacMillan, 26, and Gerald Leblanc, 30, remain in hospital at Moncton where they are reported in satisfactory condition after treatment for frostbite.The four men had gone into the woods Saturday in two four-wheel drive vehicles which apparently became stuck in snow.A storm in the area that day dumped up to 45 centimetres of new snow and temperatures were below freezing “You would think they had just been driving to the corner store,” a spokesman for the RCMP detachment in Newcastle said.“They dressed lightly and carried no food or spare fuel.” He had seen similar incidents all too often in his police career, the Mountie said.“They did not even tell anyone that they planned to go into the woods.” RCMP, military personnel from CFB Chatham, Lands and Forests department staff and employees of Acadia Forest Products Ltd.helped in the search.Naturalists fear imported coon dogs may escape OTTAWA (CP) — Naturalists are howling over the government’s refusal to extend a ban on the importation of raccoon dogs to include a ban on ownership of the furry animals.Environment Minister John Roberts announced the ban on imports last month, after naturalists warned the fur-bearing animals could cause serious damage to native wildlife if they were introduced in the country.However, the ban did not affect the operations of a Madoc, Ont., fur farm which is breeding more than 100 of the animals imported more than a year ago.Naturalists fear the animals could escape from their cages at the fur farm.The animals multiply quickly, and experts say they can readily adapt to nearly any environment, supplanting existing species of fox and raccoons.Their introduction to Canada could also pose a threat to ground-nesting birds and agricultural crops, they say.Raccoon dogs are described as foxlike in nature although they resemble raccoons.Originating in Eastern Europe and Asia, they are bred for their pelts, which sell for between $60 and $200.Apart from a few zoos, Supi Farms Ltd.at Madoc, about halfway between Toronto and Ottawa, is about the only place raccoon dogs are found in Canada.The Ottawa-based Canadian Wildlife Federation now is studying the possibility of legal action aimed at banning ownership of the animals.“They are a real and serious threat,” says federation vice-president Ken Brynaert.“It cannot be understated.” While Supi farms is free to own the animals imported before the ban was introduced, they cannot be sold since all provinces now prohibit their entry.Explorer recruits jobless for Arctic research trip LONDON (CP) - A British geographer wants to tie up some loose ends of Arctic research in northern Quebec this year and he’s recruiting unemployed youngsters to help.Barry Matthews, who holds a PhD in geography from McGill University, plans two expeditions of unemployed young persons between 18 and 25 to the Sagluk and Deception Bay areas of Quebec’s north coast.They will examine stone structures which Matthews found on expeditions in 1962 and 1965 and which he believes are of Norse origin.They will also look for similar sites on Hudson Strait.Matthews also wants to shoot film to go with some 1965 footage and to "finish the final chapter of my book about my 20 years’ scientific explorations in the Quebec and Labrador Arctic and sub- Weathe Becoming cloudy today with snowflurries in the evening.Thursday cloudy with snow flurries.High both days, -5, low tonight, -12.Arctic.” Why choose unemployed youngsters?Concern at their fate and the hope that the experience and challenges involved will help them, Matthews said Tuesday.READY TO GO Availability is another reason.“They don’t have any trouble getting leave of absence from jobs,” said Derick Copeland, 21, one of the handful of persons taking part in the first expedition at Easter time and a student completing a degree in polymer engineering at London University.Matthews hopes to recruit about a dozen youngsters in Canada and Britain, especially for the longer — four or five weeks — and larger expedition next summer.Depending on the results, he said, he may lead another expedition to the area in September.Matthews, convenor of the Young Explorers Trust at the Royal Geographical Society for several years, hopes sponsors will help cover costs and possibly give the young people jobs later.He also wants the help of British and Canadian air forces to transport the expedition.Matthews’ last of several expeditions to Labrador was in 1980 on an ecological survey of the Fraser Canyon area.He hasn’t been to the northern Quebec sites since 1965.#1_________________

Concordia University spokesman says Monday’s brawl between supporters and opponents of the Iranian regime appears to have been “stage managed” — possibly with the help of the Iranian embassy in Ottawa — to discredit enemies of the Ayatollah Khomeini.The brawl erupted before a prayer meeting, organized by pro-Khomeini students, was to begin at the university’s downtown campus.A police riot squad dispersed the combattants and seven people received hospital treatment for minor injuries.Some participants carried knives, sticks and chains and hurled chairs at their opponents.Cement Lafarge seals deal MONTREAL (CP) — Canada Cement Lafarge Ltd.reported Tuesday that after seven months, it has formally completed a $300-million U.S.takeover of General Portland Inc.of Dallas, Tex.Lafarge said in a statement that it has been notified by U.S.authorities that the merger of General Portland with an American unit of Lafarge became effective Monday.Last fall, Montreal-based Lafarge acquired 93.5 per cent of General Portland’s common stock, or 6.5 million shares, for $47 U.S.per share.Lafarge said it still is prepared to buy the remaining6.5 per cent of common stock at the same price.Police badges stolen MONTREAL (CP) A dozen Montreal police badges and caps were stolen overnight Tuesday, possibly to complement a like number of uniforms and bullet-proof vests which disappeared three months ago Police said intruders also made off with $350 from a safe al William Scully Ltd., suppliers of uniform accessories to the Montreal force, and set two small fires that damaged company files.Although there is no evidence that the two robberies are connected, an investigator said it is still possible someone is trying to assemble a complete policeman’s outfit.Scully was hit by a similar theft of badges in February.1981 Court bars Cree, Ontarians MONTREAL ( CP) — The Quebec Court of Appeal has denied Ontario francophones and Quebec Cree permission to present arguments during a court hearing on whether Quebec has a veto power over the constitutional package now before the British Parliament.A three-judge appeals court panel gave no reason lor its decision at a hearing Tuesday, saying only the Grand Council of the Cree of Quebec and the Ontario French-Canadian Association “have no interest in the case.” Rescue satellite considered MONTREAL (CP) — The federal government is considering placing a special satellite in orbit for maritime and Arctic rescue operations, says Communications Minister Francis Fox.Encircling the globe every two hours, the SarSet satellite would be able to pick up signals from emergency transmitters aboard stranded aircraft and ships, then pinpoint their exact location.Fox revealed the project during a Montreal visit Tuesday, 12 days after fire damaged the oil tanker Hudson Transport in the St.Lawrence River near Matane, Que., killing seven sailors.Thirty-car crash in Montreal MONTREAL (CP) — Icy road conditions and wind-driven snow snarled traffic here Tuesday and caused a 30-vehicle pile-up on the approaches to the Champlain Bridge, linking Montreal to the South Shore of the St.Lawrence River.Police said no one was injured in the pile-up.Weather conditions also caused 10-to-20-minute delays in flights in and out of Dorval and Mirabel airports, airport spokesmen said.Masks no protection MONTREAL (CP) — Consumers should beware of new1 masks that purportedly offer protection against the harmful effects of urea formaldehyde foam insulation, Laval University toxologist Dr.Albert Nantel warned Tuesday.He said the masks, which are just now' coming on the market, are designed to protect wearers from formaldehyde gas, but this is not necessarily the most dangerous substance in the insulation.Symptoms such as skin irritation, deafness and vomiting reported by people whose homes are insulated with the foam could well be caused by other additives or a combination of substances, he said.Reserves used to pay loans OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government has finished paying back a $1.5-billion U.S.debt to Canadian chartered banks who had made the loans to prop up the value of the dollar last summer, the Finance Department said Tuesday.Clearance of the debt, with a final payment last month of $400 million U.S., was announced in monthly figures w'hich showed the country's international reserves dropped by $184 million U.S.in December to $4.371 billion.It was the fourth consecutive month the government used reserves to repay the money it borrowed last May.July and August through a $3.5-billion line of credit with Canadian banks that can be used to increase reserves needed to protect the dollar OTTAWA (CP) — Federal Energy Minister Marc Lalonde begins an ll-day trip to the Middle East next week that will include talks in Saudi Arabia, Canada’s major supplier of foreign oil.Lalonde also will travel to Egypt to discuss bilateral energy issues, particularly nuclear energy.Talks in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, both members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), will focus on energy pricing and supply questions.Federal officials said no oil or nuclear deals are expected to be signed during the trip, which is being viewed primarily as an opportunity for Lalonde to pursue topics raised during an OPEC conference he attended in Vienna in November.Domtar ordered to clean up CORNWALL, Ont.(CP) - The Ontario Environment Ministry has ordered Domtar Fine Papers to clean up its act after finding the company’s Cornwall plant in contravention of several sections of the province’s Environmental Protection Act.David Crump, industrial abatement officer with the ministry’s Cornwall office, said Tuesday the order, to be formally announced next week, requires Domtar to reduce emissions of odorous contaminants and discharges of suspended solids in the St.Lawrence River.Crump said the order came after more than a year of negotiations between the ministry and Domtar.Worried seamen flown home SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I.(CP) — Six Peruvian seamen who have refused to sail with their freighter because they say it is unsafe will be flown back to Peru today, the ship's Summerside agent said Tuesday.The seamen from the Ocean Sprinter also said their pay was too low and that the company refused to pay them their back wages.The 20 year-old ship sailed from Puerto Rico to Summerside to pick up a load of potatoes.It is scheduled to leave Thursday on a 23-day voyage to Syria, the agent said.The number of seamen left aboard the ship was not known.West losing on freight rates WINNIPEG (CP) — The low railway freight rates for grain will cost the western Canadian farm economy almost $400 million a year by 1990 unless the issue is redressed, farmers were told Tuesday.“Were it not for the statutory rates, real incomes in Canada could increase by almost $400 million by 1990 in 1981 dollars and our agricultural trade balance would be higher by $270 million," said Gaétan Lussier, deputy minister of agriculture.Lussier was speaking to about 500 people attending the annual meeting of Palliser Wheat Growers, an association of Prairie farmers that led the way in seeking changes to the Crowsnest Pass freight rates.Lussier said the Crow rates set in 1897 and enshrined in law by Parliament in 1925, retard economic development in the West by making it cheaper to ship out raw grains than finished products.Judges take immersion courses WINNIPEG (CP) — Ten judges from Manitoba's three highest courts are in Quebec City to participate in a two-week French language immersion program to enable them to preside over trials in French.The program, which has been offered to federally-appointed judges for the last seven years, is attracting judges from Manitoba who anticipate a surge in the demand for French trials, one judge said.The judge, who asked not to be named, said Section 23 of the Manitoba Act.which was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada two years ago, makes the province’s courts officially bilingual.As well, the Criminal Code of Canada entitles an accused to be tried in the language of his choice, he said Engineer dies at throttle MONCTON, N.B.(CP) - The engineer driving a train of four self propelled rail-liners near Auld’s Cove, N.S.dropped dead at the controls Tuesday but the quick reaction of another engineer who happened to be riding as a passenger averted disaster.Jack MacKinnon, 61, of Port Hastings, N.S.died of a heart attack while driving Via Rail’s No.63 train, CN Rail spokesman Doug McGurk said in Moncton.The train was heading to Truro, N.S.from Sydney, N.S.McGurk said the train failed to speed up after reaching the end of a 16-kilometre-per-hour slow-speed zone Scientists switch on life LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scientists say that for the first time they have assembled outside a cell everything bacterial DNA needs to reproduce itself and have “switched on” the system of gene replication in a test tube.The work at Stanford University moves researchers one step closer to identifying "some of the factors that either turn the switch on or keep it turned off,” Nobel laureate Arthur Kornbérg said Monday in a telephone interview Monday.Kornberg, who shared the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1959 for creating synthetic DNA, and associates Robert Fuller and Jon Kaguni described their research in the December issue of the

The Townships The KEC'OKIi—Wednesday, January ti, I9K2—li 1 I_Sa «ecara The son of God is named Eugene and lives in Ohio By Timothy Belford SHERBROOKE — God is 62, white, and lives in Maple Heights, Ohio.At Jeast that’s what Eugene Changey claims and he should know, since they’re related.Changey, a resident of this small northeastern Ohio town, has spent the better part of 40 years attempting to Convince a skeptical world that he is indeed the son of God.What’s more, using classical Christian theology con-concerning the tripartite nature of God H.Gordon Green Whatever happened to grammar class?I see that our educationalists are arguing now about whether or not it’s worthwhile to teach grammar any more.I’d say that it depends upon what kind of writing we are going to consider literature.If we are going to lavish Canada Council grants and Governor-General’s Medals on authors who can find no use for periods, paragraphs or punctuation marks and who seem to think it equally old-fashioned to use verbs, then I see no reason why grammar should not follow Latin into limbo.There was after all only one reason why we used to be taught that each sentence should contain a complete statement and that this sentence should have a capital letter at the beginning, a period at the end and a verb stuck somewhere in between.Writing composed of units such as that could generally be understood, and in those unenlightened days we were of the opinion that the aim of writing was to communicate.That isn’t necessarily so today.Pick up a short story or a bouquet of poetry that the critics have acclaimed and gathered into some avant-garde anthology and you feel as stupid after your third or fourth reading as you did the first time you tangled with it.And if you protest, the critic is apt to give you the impression that great literature isn’t meant to be understood by the masses — that the really gifted author writes for a select inner circle of the literary elite, and that the more difficult the piece, the smaller and more distinguished that eircle.gets.The ultimate, I suppose, will come when the author is talking to no one but himself.All of which reminds me somehow of the famous wambeazel bird which is alleged to fly with ever-increasing velocity in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up its own alimentary canal.So popular is this modern cult of obscurity that we who have to teach writing in college have to contend continually with pupils who are determined to soar to the heights of unintelligible poetry before they know enough about language to compose an obituary.But picking up an old copy of the Saturday Review the other day I discover that there are still eminent writers and editors who see the need for simple clarity.Seems that back in 76 Saturday Review had asked John Hersey the novelist to write a piece to commemorate the inauguration of Jimmy Carter, and when the piece was received at the Review it was decided that it wasn’t really what the occasion called for.And this irritated Hersey even though he was paid for his work and even though the Review intended to make use of the piece in a later issue.And here is where the real trouble began.Hersey avows that he never understood that his essay was to be used in a later issue.Norman Cousins, the venerable editor of the Review, hadn’t contacted Hersey personally about the matter but he thought that one of his other editors had explained this intent clearly enough.Tempers flared.The press got hold of the story and that didn’t help the argument, and finally Hersey sent back his fee and demanded the return çf his manuscript.In other words, two old friends came to an ugly parting of the ways, and all because of a lack of understanding.Cousins felt so badly about the affair that he made it the subject of an editorial, and it is the concluding thought of that editorial which I think every teacher of English should write loud and clear on his blackboard.Here it is: “.what seems to me to be the most unfortunate aspect of the entire affair is that both John Hersey and I have been identified all our lives with the cause of world peace.Yet we ourselves had become enmeshed in flash reactions, violent words, and a public confrontation.“Related to this line of thought is a melancholy fact tb-t has become increasingly apparent to me over the years.The most difficult and precarious enterprise in the world is effective communication.It is the ultimate art.In this respect we all have a lot to learn ” Badges All metal iVi" diameter ideal for: conventions,

boast and he, or they, have published numerous books and pamphlets attempting to inform the world of the Second Coming of God’s son.As a matter of fact, Changey begins his numerous letters with the salutation, “As Almighty God I greet you".A machinist by trade, Changey first discovered that he was God’s son in 1942 during a brief stay in an asvlum.“1 was undergoing a spinal injection when I suddenly sensed my spine dissolving.My entire body seemed to be becoming fluid.Then I realized it was my Father’s spirit entering my body.” Admittedly his co-workers in the machine shop were a “bit skeptical at first “but Changey feels they are coming to realize the truth of his claim.The press is another matter however, “Unfortunately, editors and publishers tend to suppress information.Thus the mass of people are ignorant of My existence,” said Changey.“Newspapers and the news media in general have defied Me,” he continued.When questioned concerning the method of communication between Father and Son, Changey pointed out “My Son Eugene tries to leave his mind a total blank.My holy voice is heard above a void and My Son rapidly takes My dictation.” Changey is worried about the lack of recognition of his, or their, existence and is particularly concerned with the lack of response from politicians.“We've been writing to senators for some time.They acknowledged us at first but they have since stopped.Peo-pleseem to be afraid.” He, or they, is also concerned since, as the Son of God, he is in actuality the “re-incarnation of Jesus whose Second Coming foreshadows the eventual Armageddon.It’s almost here because, as you can see if you look around you, the world is continuously getting worse,” Changey pointed out.Although Changey is adamant con- cerning his belief in his own divinity, he prefers spreading the word through letters, books and pamphlets, rather than anything as flashy as a miracle.He even pays for the literature He sends out and was quick to add, “We don’t make any money.'” When asked why He feels so few people are willing to believe His claim, Changey, as befits a deity, enigmatically replied, “Only the F ather knows who the Son is and only the Son knows theF'ather.” Councils must startin’ phone system ball rolling RECORD/PERRY BEATON It's a big season for snow-removal crews Snow removal crews in Sherbrooke have been working long hours lately,

terminate my creative writing classes before their scheduled completion but they were a valuable experience for which I am grateful, What I did not learn in actual writing techniques, I made up for in meeting and absorbing the ideas of my fellow scribblers in this ambitious endeavor, our number varied from six some nights to as many as 12 on others.Our ages and backgrounds were quite widely varied-hence our thoughts and slants on writing were equally divergent.However, out of this academic experience has come my Number One resolution for the New Year.One evening, a youngish woman read aloud an excerpt from what may turn out to be her first novel.She had written of a young man who in maturity had returned as a minister to the town where he had been brought up by his grandmother.Because of the terrible trauma he had suffered as a boy due to his father's abandonment, he discovers difficulty in his own dealings with youth groups and their attitudes toward parental supervision.At my last class she read her latest chapter.Here the young clergyman had confronted one boy’s father in an attempt to bring about a reconciliation between father and son.She deftly balanced the boy’s rebellion and antagonism with the father’s outrage and disappointment in his son.Against the minister’s gentle arguments, the father vehemently denounces his son’s refusal to dress conventionally or to cut his shoulder length hair.He stubbornly closed his mind to the sterling qualities put forth by the boy’s champion.After her reading we were invited to comment.When my turn came, I had to confess that my sympathies were all with the father.Had I been in his position, I am afraid that I, too, would have insisted on the haircut and some presentable clothes.Here comes the reason for my new resolution.F’irst of all, after my pronouncement, the writer looked up in surprised, faintly antagonistic indignation; the girl sitting beside me said that she objected to long hair only when it was waist length and tied back with a shoelace.But most important to me was the gentle wonder of the lovely red-haired girl across the table who asked me softly why I objected to a man’s clothing or to his manner of wearing his hair?She said sweetly and reasonably, “What difference does it make how a man is dressed or how long his hair is?It is the inner man one seeks and loves.” How to tell her that the type she evoked in my mind presented very little temptation for me to investigate let alone love.It would have been useless to explain my position.I felt like a wayward child before her lovely innocence.She is speaking, and correctly, for her generation and for the times in which we live.It would be very difficult for her to understand that at my age, it takes considerable effort to throw off the shackles imposed for so many years by my own upbringing.But I am resolved.If, as they all assured me, there beats under the chains, beads, down-to-the-navel shirts and lank locks, hearts of purest gold, then I am out to find them in 1982.Vaillancourt blasts delay QUEBEC - Georges Vaillancourt, Liberal MNA for Orford, denounced, in his reply to the budget, the slowness of the Ministry of Social Affairs which forces more than 100 residents of the Foyer du Sacre-Coeur de Magog to wait till the end of 1982 or spring of 1983 before living in a decent building.The Liberal MNA for Orford, backed up by several groups and officials of the region, said he was glad that the pressures put forward were successful.An 800,000$ grant has been allocated to buy the old building and a new one will be built.Correction A report in yesterday's Record incorrectly identified Richard Delorme as lawyer for Rock Forest’s former police chief and new secretary-treasurer Richard

co-ordinated emergency telephone system if they want, but it’s up to the councils involved to get the ball rolling.In a New Year’s Day fire which killed a 10-year-old girl and destroyed the Woodacres Hotel in Knowlton’s Landing, firemen only arrived at the scene 45 minutes after the alarm w'as first sounded because of confusion over which telephone number to call.Although Knowlton’s Landing gets fire protection from Austin, its telephones are in the Mansonville exchange and a different Bell area code.Four different fire departments were called before the Austin department got the message.And although the ‘Haut Yamaska’ telephone book lists more than 20 municipalities, only official municipal names are listed, meaning many localities, including Knowlton, Knowlton’s Landing, West Brome, Bolton, South Bolton and dozens more, are not listed at all.Bell Canada spokesman Pierre Marion said in an interview the utility is able to make common arrangements whereby residents all over the Brome-Missisquoi area could call a single emergency number and an operator wmuld direct their call to the appropriate fire or police department.But he says the municipalities have to take the first step and this may not be easy.“The first requirement for any such service is to get the municipalities to agree to integrate their communications services,” Marion said.“Historically this has been difficult.And it takes a budget because the switchboard would have to be manned.” Marion says if the municipalities ask Bell for such a service, “we will then have to do feasibility studies and calculate the costs.There are technical difficulties,” Marion adds, “for example when municipal and telephone exchange boundaries don’t coincide.We would have to get the municipalities to agree to a re-shuffle It’s difficult to establish and it’s usually the bigger cities which do it, like Laval and Longueuil.” Marion said he couldn’t pul a cost figure together immediately but he suspected it would be “in the $100,000 a year area or more.” “Bell is willing any time these conditions are met,” Marion says.“This is the reason these 911 numbers have been set aside.” “If the people of the Eastern Townships want such a service and can afford it,” he concluded, “we are willing.” TWO BIG HITS I OK All Kramer vs.Kramer A very special experience.2nd v\ieeK Wwk Blue 715; Knmer 9.15.Fri .Dec

died in Knowlton’s Landing last week.She was the victim of the fire which levelled the Woodacres Hotel.One of the reasons she died was that firemen were unable to get to the scene fast enough.They weren’t notified until some 45 minutes after the blaze began, and as Austin Fire Chief Arthur Bryant says, “45 minutes is a long time in v fire”.The Bell operator didn’t have the right telephone number for the Austin Fire department.Neither did the Quebec Police Force.Neither did the hotel.There are over 20 fire emergency numbers in the Brome-Missisquoi phone book, but dozens and dozens of villages are not listed at all, because they don’t have the same name as their municipality.Knowlton is under Brome Lake.Huntingville is under Sherbrooke — or is it Lennoxville?Knowlton’s Landing is under Austin because Austin is in another phone book and in another area code.There is a note at the bottom of Bell’s list that says Tire emergency calls — Austin Territory from telephones in Mansonville call Zenith 60180.’ But Knowlton’s Landing isn’t in Mansonville either.Oris it?Brome-Missisquoi isn’t the only area like this.In rural areas, not just the Eastern Townships but all over the province, confusion like this is the norm and not an exception.Bell has a share of the fault for this situation.So does each municipality.So does each fire department, so does each of us, for not noticing.No one can be blamed, but everyone is at fault.Now: it’s up to all of us to find a solution so a little girl doesn’t have to die next time.CHARLESBURY Clark the President’s man WASHINGTON (AP) — William Clark came to work as No.2 man in Ronald Reagan's State Department admitting he couldn’t give the name of the prime minister of South Africa and didn't know other things a diplomat ought to.No matter, What he did know was Ronald Reagan, and that was enough.He had known Reagan since their days in California when Reagan was governor and Clark his chief of staff, the man who became known for writing concise “mini-memos” summarizing complicated issues on one side of a piece of paper.He is the type of person Reagan feels comfortable with something that could not be said of Richard Allen, whose job as national security adviser Clark inherited Monday.When Clark came to Washington, it was thought that one of his duties would be to keep an eye on U.S.State Secretary Alexander Haig for Reagan.The strong-willed Haig was a stranger to the president and to the men closest to him.But Haig and Clark developed a good relationship — Haig was the front man who laid down America’s global policy and Clark was the man who kept the State Department running.Clark’s career in Washington started off with awkwardness, blushes and guffaws.LITTLE PREPARATION He conceded his only preparation for the job as deputy state secretary consisted of a brief visit to Chile —- “72 hours in Santiago” is how he put it.He said he got his understanding of some international issues by reading Time and Newsweek.He said he would have to think about it before expressing opinions on nuclear nonproliferation, or foreign aid or U.S.relations with Third World countries.“He doesn't know anything about foreign relations," complained Senator Joseph Biden (D-Del ), after Clark was quizzed at a Senate foreign relations committee hearing.Twenty-four senators opposed confirming him.In Europe, he was ridiculed.An Amsterdam daily ran this headline: “Reagan Chooses Nitwit as Minister.” Clark is 50, a Roman Catholic, owner of a 900-acre ranch, the father of five children.Since its inception in 1979, the English-speaking Townshippers’ Association has identified education as one of its major preoccupations.We are deeply concerned, therefore, by rumours from Quebec City suggesting that the English language education system will undergo sweeping changes in the near future.Because no actual proposal to this end has been put forward by the Minister of Education, we think it is inappropriate, indeed impossible, at this time to react to intimated changes to the school board system.We note here, however, some general principles that will guide the establishment of a policy on our part concerning the school board issue.First, in a time of decreasing school populations and an increasingly pluralistic society, the Townshippers’ Association recognizes the need for important changes to the present system.Ways must be found to reduce the complexity of the administration of our English-language system in the Eastern Townships, to involve in a formal and substantive way the participation of the English-speaking Catholic community in the decision-making about its children’s education, to rationalize and share the costs of school bus transportation systems with the French-speaking schools, and to pool energies for the development of learning resources such as sports facilities, libraries, technical-vocational educational facilities and second-language programmes: We know that the will exists in the English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships to explore measures that will improve the quality and efficiency of our school system.But we also know that the identification and inception of these measures should not be a hurried process.The Parent Commission Report and its recommendations on the re-structuring of school boards have been with us for over ten years, but we stress that any substantial change to institutions as fundamental to the life of a community as the schools are must be done prudently, with provision for serious and repeated consultation with the public before that change is implemented.Secondly, we would like to caution that any government, party or individual that seeks to remove the English-language Commentary school system from the influence and control of the entire English-language community will face vehement opposition from that community.It is our position as well as the position of many of the French-speaking minority groups outside Quebec that a minority community must have control of the education of its children if it is to survive as a viable community.In the Quebec context, any move to transfer decision-making power from the local community to the state must be opposed by that community if it cannot guarantee itself adequate representation at that level.Unfortunately, this situation will always exist in Quebec given the size and dispersed nature of our community.To guarantee that we and not an unrepresentative government or a culturally or geographically distant administrative council have the control of the destiny of our community, we must have not only decisionmaking power over curricula and school taxation, but also the power to decide how and where financial resources available for education are best spent in a particular area.We are fearful that to others many of our schools seem too small to be either economical or pedagogically effective.The current elementary school population for the Townships, for example is 3,442 children spread out in 22 schools.One of our schools has but 32 students.Yet we manage to keep these schools operating using the same government norms for the provision of money as larger schools use.Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest that parents in our region feel that the quality of the education their children receive has declined with the school enrolment.A school system under the control of those less sensitive to the importance and viability of small schools might be tempted to close many of them.The local schools serve both as focal points for the English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships and as bulwarks against the disappearance of the English culture.In this way, schools and school policy are not simply the concerns of parents, but of all English-speaking citizens.To give a concrete example of the effect school closings can have on a small English-speaking community, we mention the case of theCoaticook Elementary School.In 1976, the Lennoxville District School Board decided to close the Coaticook Elementary School which had a student population of 54 students ( LDSB has since adopted a policy not to close any school until specifically requested by local parents to do so).The effect on the local population was immediate and lasting.Since the closure of that school, no new English-speaking family from the Coaticook area has registered children for enrolment in the school to which the Coaticook children were transferred.Clearly, young families are choosing not to set up residence in Coaticook when their children face the prospect of long bus rides to school.The effect on the demographic structure of the Coaticook area English-speaking community is predictable.The problems of an aging population which we face everywhere in the Townships are only heightened by such an event as a school closing.Such closings might not have as profound an effect in other communities.But our community’s small size and mobility are such that we must guard against encouraging in any w'ay its further decline.Also we do not want to see an increased concentration of our community in two or three “English ghettos” in the area.We wish to be a strong community, participating in Quebec society where we are now, not huddled together looking only to one another.Finally, we wish to make a point that is basic to any discussion of the English language school system in Quebec.Recent statements by both the Premier of Quebec and his Minister of Education threaten retaliatory action against the English-language education system in Quebec in response to the new constitutional accord.They suggest that we will receive “equal treatment” to the French-language minorities in other provinces.Practically, they suggest, this means English language education services will be reduced, particularly in areas like the Eastern Townships.While we are deeply disturbed by Mr.Levesque’s and Dr.Laurin’s suggestion that the English-language community is to become some sort of political hostage or scapegoat, we are enraged by their refusal to recognize the fundamental distinction between the English-language education system in Quebec and those of other minorities in Canada.We support full education rights for minority groups in other provinces, but feel that all existing minority educational structures in provinces other than Quebec give inadequate control to the minority communities.While French language minority groups fight for control of their educational systems, the Quebec government contemplates removing our community’s right to manage directly the education of its children.In its history as a founding people of Quebec, the English-speaking community has undertaken to provide for itself a province-wide educational system that is second to none in quality.That system was built by generations of work and sacrifice and dedication.To suggest that this legacy from our forebears is to be hamstrung for the sake of political maneuvering or forced onto some procrustean bed of educational or administrative theory is to invite opposition.In an era of pluralism and tolerance, a time when the English-speaking community is beginning to take its proper place in Quebec society, unwarranted tampering with an institution as important as our school system and the turmoil it will cause must be ruled out of order.James L.Ross MD President Royal Orr Executive Director Christina Richards Director “Personally./ would have settled for a cheeseburger." Letter Open border to reduce debt Editor: A huge contribution towards reducing Canada’s national debt would be to open up the Canadian-Am-erican border saving I don’t know how many billions of dollars yearly.The whole set-up is a gross embarrassment to every travelling Canadian and American citizen.Governments invent these things like Quebec Income Tax Dept, and in time they become a cancer on society costing more for upkeep than they are worth.But the Canadian Customs, to keep this monster operating the buildings and employees both men and women all across this vast land would allow Canada an army, navy and air force we would all be proud to own.I don't appreciate being treated like a crook, “Did you stop, did you buy anything”.Then after being studied, you might be told, “OK, you may go.” This in my own country for which 1 went to two wars for.It all makes me develop a knot in my stomach.No way can I even pretend to believe it pays its own way.One doesn’t have to be a mathematician first class to figure that out.Canada needs a Reagan like the U.S.President cutting down and wiping-out if we are to survive.Mind you, I don’t blame the rank and file of this monstrous organization any more than the rank and file can be blamed for wars.It’s our leaders with a vacuum between both ears that need to be scrutinized and told a few things such as: take the air, brother.TED WRIGHT, Dunham Reagan’s sanctions could hurt Canada and other allies WASHINGTON (CP) - President Reagan's preliminary sanctions against the Soviet Union, prompted by the crisis in Poland, threatens to damage the U.S.economy as much as it menaces Moscow.Canada and other countries closely influenced by U.S.market forces could suffer similarly, even though Canadian and other competing grain exporters may choose to cash in on any decline in U.S.-Soviet trade.The pressure play announced by Reagan on Dec.29, notably the suspension of negotiations with Moscow on grain trade and shipping, is viewed by experts as a depressing element in an already-slack economy.U.S.Agriculture Secretary John Block, in the face of criticism from American farm groups, issued a statement maintaining that “as far as agriculture is concerned, the effects are minimal — practically nothing at all.” Others disagree, predicting that Reagan’s rebuff will reinforce Soviet efforts to reduce reliance on U.S.supplies.This process had already begun in the wake of a U.S.-led partial grain embargo against Moscow in 1980 to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan two years ago.FORESEES SLUMP The psychological impact of Reagan’s latest move thus is expected to wreak permanent damage to trade with the Soviet Union, said market analyst Tim Oviatt in an interview Monday.“I’m afraid this has put a damper — perhaps permanently — on our efforts to negotiate a long-term agreement with the Soviets,” said Oviatt, whose Wn«hington-based organization, U.S.Wheat Associates, represents wheat commissions in 13 grain-growing states and operates a worldwide network promoting exports.The U.S.-Soviet grain trade is a major factor in the U.S.economy and in global commerce in agricultural products.It accounts for about three-quarters of total U.S.exports to the Soviet Union, valued at close to $4 billion in recent non-embargo years, and provided the United States with a three-to-one surplus in Soviet trade.By far the world’s major producer and exporter of grains, the United States thereby is the dominant influence on world grain trade and prices.In sales to the Soviets alone, for example, the United States supplied more than 75 per cent in the preembargo year of 1978-79.Canada, in cent of total Soviet purchases that year.CANADA GAINED During Hie 1980 partial embargo, Canada gained sales despite its official support for the U.S.move.U.S.figures show Canadian grain sales to the Soviets almost tripled to 4.8 million tonnes while American exports were cut almost in half to about eight million tonnes.At the same time, a mounting U.S.surplus depressed prices in the grain trade generally, reducing the value to all producers.Expectations of further disruptions pushed December grain prices to record lows last month.Negotiations on a new U.S.-Soviet grains agreement, which opened last month in Moscow, were due to resume, in Washington next month.Block observed that the current U.S.- Soviet grain pact runs to next Sept.30.The United States has offered to supply up to 23 million tonnes of wheat and corn in the period and the Soviets had ordered about 11 million tonnes of that before Reagan’s announcement.U.S.government authorities say the Soviets, despite political reluctance to deal further with the United States, may be forced to order more U.S.grain — especially corn —- following a disastrous harvest last year.SHIPPING HIT But Reagan’s simultaneous suspension of negotiations on a shipping agreement, due to resume in Washington this month after expiring Dec.31, is a further disruptive element.The suspension means that Soviet ships must apply two weeks in advance to enter a U.S.port and face additional red tape in seeking to load grain.Continued depression of grain prices an auucu Oil dill UI1 U.S.Treasury at a time when Reagan attempting to curb federal outlays part of his economic-recove program.Federal subsidies pay producers t difference between market prices ant set target rate, which rises this ye under a new farm law.At prese prices, the cost to the federal treasu for wheat alone would rise to more th $1 billion from $400 million last yee Together, the political, psychologic and practical disruptions of the U.i Soviet grain trade thus could sh recovery of the United States a dependent allies from the curre recession.While producers suffer t direct impact of depressed gra prices, the fallout affects manufa Hirers of farm implements — already trouble — and business and indust generally. The HKCOIM)—Wednesday, January 6, 1982_5 Business 11_ mam F inancially pressed farmers are few in number WINNIPEG (CP) — There apparently is no mood of impending financial disaster in the farm community during 1982 despite emotional displays of individual hardships last fall.Pictures of hooded farmers carrying rifles to discourage farm foreclosures, dead cattle thrown on a bank’s doorsteps, dire forecasts by some farm leaders; all have given the impression of general economic chaos generated by high inflation and interest rates.But, says one farm economist, financially-pressed farmers like those who most forcefully demonstrated their plight are few in number."On average, farming is probably one of the healthiest businesses in Canada,” said Daryl Kraft, associate professor of agricultural economics at University of Manitoba.“Probably, it’s only five or 10 per cent of farmers who are in some very difficult financial straits,” Kraft said in an interview.FARMERS QUESTIONED Further indication of general optimism was evident in remarks by a number of Prairie farmers interviewed /lû+hcsed'' /you unfamiliar u/M -the Whelan s+yle, it- may actually appear ar if X am , dtfiny \ however S6KlC0tTüf« t !m Jeans boom fades recently by United Grain Growers, a farmer-owned co-operative.None of them was considering large machinery purchases or land acquisitions because of high interest rates But they weren't planning major reductions in seeding or fertilizer applications either.“In the last two or three weeks, I’ve had a chance to relax and think about 1982 and I’m excited about next year,” said David Nederhoff of Roleau, Sask., one of those interviewed.“We now have some moisture in the ground and snow cover, and I believe the interest rates and farm prices will not be so erratic,” Nederhoff said.Myron Karpa of High Prairie in Alberta’s Peace River district said farmers will have to tighten their belts in 1982 but he isn’t cutting back on his cropping plans.“In our case, we don’t expect a bed of roses but I believe we can hold our own in 1982.” ECONOMY FRUSTRATING Grant Rodewold of Emerson, Man., entered farming seven years ago and finds the current economic climate frustrating.“As I look to 1982, I think we need to be more careful and aware of our costs and returns than in the past,” Rodewold said.Kraft said farmers in the most financial trouble are those who took on a high level of debt with an interest rate that was negotiable periodically.“When they took out the loan they budgeted for that interest rate and didn’t anticipate rates almost doubling.” Others in trouble have a debt-to-equity position that would probably be 50 per cent or greater.Some farm leaders believe the government should step in and help farmers who got in over their heads.Not Kraft.“The chances of the farmer being successful were very great and they committed their capital in anticipation of getting a high rate of return on investment,” he said.“Just because the future didn’t turn out the way you anticipated doesn’t mean the government should step in and make things right.If that were the case, there would be no risk to getting into business.” Rival farmers’ associations fight each other OWEN SOUND, Ont.(CP) - One month after an association was formed on behalf of financially troubled area farmers, a split has developed in the ranks, with each side claiming to be the Canadian Farmers Survival Association.Carl Spencer, president of one of the groups, said Monday his group’s executive has decided to disassociate itself from the other group, headed by George Bothwell, an Owen Sound-area farmer, and John Gorman, a Newmarket, Ont., lawyer.Spencer said Bothwell’s group is acting on its own and using the name of the Canadian Farmers Survival Association.Bothwell, however, said Spencer’s group originally was called the Grey-Bruce Survival Association and is a local chapter of the Canadian association.Both associations were formed in early December in response to high interest rates and increasing numbers of farm foreclosures and credit denials.“The Canadian Farmers Survival Association happens to be the brainchild of John Gorman,” Bothwell said in an interview.“Carl was the president of the Grey-Bruce association, which was the founding chapter.It was suggested they would be interested in spreading the plan across Canada.“They are two distinct organizations but the objectives are the same.” Spencer said his group’s decision to end its association with Bothwell and Gorman came Sunday night at an emergency meeting.“We (the association executive) thrashed the thing out among ourselves in hopes of a compromise, but when we finally contacted George we never really had a chance to compromise because George basically did all the talking,” Spencer said in an interview.“He said they’re planning on setting up a national office and using the association’s name.” Earlier Sunday, Bothwell announced his association was seeking to take over operation of the Bradford, Ont., beef farm of Cecidio Romanelli, forced into receivership last month.DUMPED CATTLE Romanelli had caused a furore by dumping three dead cattle in front of a Toronto bank branch last month, charging they had starved because the bank would not lend him any more money to feed them.The Ontario Humane Society seized the herd and the bank went to court to have a receiver appointed.Bothwell said Monday the court-appointed receiver has left the farm in “dire straits” and the association hopes to be able to save some of its 157 purebred cattle, which he said are still starving to death.But Spencer said his association is not interested in making the Romanelli case into a cause celebre.He said Romanelli’s decision to dump the dead cattle hurt his chances of being helped.“The dumping of the dead cattle was a turn-off, I think, to most farmers,” he said.“Most farmers would either lock after their cattle as long as they could or, when the time comes, sell them or turn them over to somelx)dy.“We have no further connections (with Romanelli).” Spencer said Bothwell, who was ejected from the Ontario legislature last month for shouting obscenities at government members, never held an official position with the Grey-Bruce association but “at various times he was in charge of the press.” Spencer admitted his association has not registered its name and may be forced to change it.“We’re going to have to explain to the public and the press that we are the (Canadian) association .If it continues to grow for them (Bothwell and Gorman), sooner or later one of us is going to have to come up with a new name.” Howick’s jeans business a stroke of luck as denim look replaced MONTREAL (CP) — The jean boom of the 1970s that once seemed as durable as denim is showing signs of fading before the eyes of some Canadian manufacturers and retailers.“The jean market is shrinking,” says Andrew Howick, president of Montreal-based Howick Apparel Ltd.which manufactures Howick brand jeans.“I think that sales will go down somewhat.Jeans are no longer the garment for all occasions that they were in the early ’70s.“The jean business is becoming like any other garment business — dependent on style,” said Gowick, adding that the demand for variety can jeopardize production efficiency and profits.He said some popular brands jeans currently are being sold at discount prices — often as loss leaders to entice customers into a store — and “nobody can make any money on it” in the end.Howick’s firm was one of numerous Canadian companies — most of them based in Quebec but some located in Manitoba, Ontario and British Columbia — that flourished during the 1970s in a market once dominated by such multinationals as Levi, GWG, Lee and Wrangler.“In the early ’70s it was just spectacular,” recalled Howick.“As a manufacturer, you could sell anything you could make and as a retailer you could sell everything that you could get your hands on.” GREW FROM UNISEX The jeans explosion, an outgrowth of the unisex dress of the 1960s antiestablishment youth, loomed larger as it began to take on a snob-appeal of the designer jean bearing and hip-hugging American names as Calvin Klein, Jordache, Sergio Valente, or homegrown Daniel Hechter.With fly-by-nighters in the business, manufacturers say it is difficult to keep tabs on the number of jean companies in Canada, although a general estimate is between 100 to 125.“There’s been a flood of new companies that have come out in the last year,” said Manny Perra, vice-president of Roadrunner Jeans Mfg Ltd.in Montreal.“Whoever could put a fancy label on it—it became a designer jean.“The jean has reached its saturation point for the next few years and I believe you have to go into a non-jean jean,” Perra said.“Denim jeans we say are going to be quite difficult.” He added that manufacturers have put “some fashion” to the garment with more colors, styles, and different fabrics such as cotton drills and twills.“Denim on the counter is slowing $ HELP HELP right up.It’s due to the economic situation.If you’re spending $25 to $30, you’re definitely going to buy something that makes them look completely different from the crowd.” LEADER FEELS PINCH The jean slowdown is being felt by Levi Strauss Canada — the leader in lean sales — where women’s jeanswear is showing a “slight decrease” in sales for the first time in years, while men’s wear is “holding its market share” but not experiencing the growth expected.“It’s an unusually bad year for retailers,” Rick Walker, Montreal sales manager for Levis menswear in eastern Canada said near the end of 1981.“It’s slow anyway (during the pre-Christmas season) but it’s really dead this year.” Charles Greco, a buyer for Sears, said jean sales are “suffering a little” adding that the “excellent growth” experienced in the last three years has reached an inevitable peak.“How many designer jeans can you have in the closet?” Sidney Aptacker, owner of Pan-torama Inc.which has 110 retail outlets in eastern Canada, said jeans “are still the hottest part of the garment industry” but the problem is that pie must be shared.“The market is there — stronger than ever — but there are too many manufacturers and too many retailers and not enough growth in people in Canada.” PLANS SIGNATURE JEAN Andre Caron, vice-president of Bo Jeans in suburban Longueuil — which not only sells but manufactures jeans — said “there’s a feeling that it’s much slower in the jean business than it used to be but there’s still a good time left if you can create new products.” Caron, whose firm has 102 franchise outlets in Quebec, said he hopes to boost sales with “signature jeans” promoting country-and-western superstar Kenny Rogers and Québécois singer Diane Tell.But not all companies are feeling the jean pinch; some believe the boom created by the basic western jean is still riding high with the “fashion jean” or “sportswear jean” with its constantly changing styles and where brand-name is less important.Richard Brown, vice-president of The Rainbow Jean Co.Ltd.in Montreal, which has made the “non-traditional” or fashion jean since it opened in 1975, said “the multinationals and the small independents who have hung their hats on the basic jean market are now paying their dues because it (the market) is no longer basic.” “We don’t feel that the jean market is slowing down,” said Herb Cobrin, vice-president of Keystone Industries Ltd.in Montreal which manufactures Visa Jeans, Red Hots, Vigilante, Daniel Hechter and private label jean wear “We’ve had tremendous expansion in the past few years, and a lot of it has to do with the styling," said Cobrin, referring to the firm’s 40 styles among the 1.5 million pairs it now makes annually.What style is currently in vogue?“Elastic bottoms, knicker-style bottom treatments, elastic waists, and a lot of detail on the leg,” said Cobrin.MONTREAL (CP) — It was a “stroke of luck” when an Ottawa jean retailer strolled into Andrew Howick’s office in 1972 to ask him to design a special pair of denim blue-jeans.The retailer, unknown to Howick whose firm specialized in children’s pant wear, wanted a style similar to the popular American brand-name western-style jeans but with a wider leg plus a “Howick” logo.Even though the retailer’s first order was for a paltry 72 pairs, Howick responded.“I guess our jean business blossomed because we listened to him,” says the 40-year-old president of Montreal-based Howick Apparel Ltd.“It was mostly luck—99 per cent luck and one per cent a desire to be in the jean business because it was clear that a jean boom was on.” It was this new style that propelled Howick to become king of the Canadian-owned “branded-jeans,” with 1981 sales in the range of $22 million and the Howick logo holding its own among the multinational labels.The instant success of the Howick jeans soon displaced the line of children’s pant wear that had been the staple of his firm, established by his father in 1938.“By 1974, we were a pure-branded adult jean company w.dch is a pretty fast renovation of a company,” Howick, attired in a navy pin-striped shirt and blue corduroy jeans, said during an interview at his plant office.Howick currently produces 1.4 million pairs of jeans a year, but in eight style-lines instead of the original four because of the market's increasing demand for variety.While his firm is based in Quebec with manufacturing plants in Montreal and nearby St.Sauveur, less than 10 per cent of his business is actually done in the province.“We are not successful selling to French Canadians,” said Howick, pointing to a sales map with dots filling all Canadian provinces except Quebec.“The basic reason is that the French Canadian demands a different concept of fit and style,” he explained.“They demand a tighter fit, more elaborate styles and a variety of styles.” Although it markets a designer jean under the name Andre Michel, Howick Apparel’s more basic styles don’t fulfil the Quebec market's unique “demand for novelty” and apparent attraction to different brand names.Nova boom an ‘accident’ CALGARY (CP) - It was nearly eight years ago that Bob Blair, president of what was then Alberta Gas Trunk Line Ltd., said: “We are not empire builders.” Since then, the organization he heads has changed its name to Nova, An Alberta Corp.It has become one of the country’s biggest and fastest growing industrial giants.But it has not cast aside the promise Blair made in April, 1974.“It was an accident,” Blair said in his smiling, soft-spoken manner in a recent interview in his office.“The ‘empire’ was an accident, if there is one.” He is not quite willing to concede Nova does amount to a new industrial empire.This is despite the 68-per-cent interest in Husky Oil, the victory in the contest with larger American rivals over the Alaska Highway natural gas pipeline, the involvement in projects like a trans-Quebec pipeline, and recent Alberta government approval of the second and third phases of a petrochemical development at Joffre, near Red Deer.Industry analysts say the Joffre complex will likely become the largest producer of ethylene at any single location in the world.“From our point of view, the basics are still there and are very strong,” Blair said.“The company has its roots down in Alberta .they will be there forever.” In a physical sense, those roots are gas pipelines.Alberta Gas Trunk was incorporated by a special act of the Alberta legislature in 1954 primarily to provide a transmission system for the province’s gas producers.From these roots have quickly sprung a mighty oak, but Blair foresees slower growth in the coming decade.W ARY OF SPEED “The way we grew in the last eight or nine years, I would not want to continue for the next eight or nine.We grew by a factor of 11 times over.“That’s awfully fast.It was good in its time.There was a gap to be filled.“Eight or nine years ago there was not enough Alberta industrial muscle.But if the same went on for another eight or nine years, the company might get too big ., it might get musclebound.” There were signs of slowdown in 1981.A deal by Husky to buy Canadian assets of Shell Explorer Ltd.fell through and so did another to sell Husky’s assets in the United States.The $430-million Shell deal would have given Husky large holdings in heavy oil property and a stake in the $13-billion Alsands project.The $780-million sale of Husky’s US.assets would have provided cash to pay off debts.There have been other changes in the last year.Some sectors of the petroleum industry were upset when Blair strongly supported the Canadianization aspect of the federal government’s national energy policy.The sharply pro-Albertan newsmagazine Alberta Report ran a cover story several weeks ago depicting Blair on a political collision course with the truest-blue Albertan of them all, Premier Peter Lougheed.The story moved Blair to write a detailed rebuttal.“There have been times in 1980 and 1981 when the policy course the company took was not identical to the one the Alberta government took,” Blair said in the interview.“To me, that’s not a sign of a rift.If you have friends, strong friends can accept an independent view.” “The Howick name has been good in western Canada for eight years .but in Quebec the lifespan of a name is even shorter,” he said.The Howick logo, represented by the red-and-gold stylized figure of a man, has become so well known that occasionally the firm gets letters read- dressed from the nearby town of Howick, Que.Because of his company’s fast success, Howick said most people have had a hard time believing it’s a Canadian firm.“A lot of people feel that if it’s successful, it’s got to be foreign.” Dioxin contamination growing TORONTO (CP)-An estimated 1.5 tonnes of dioxins are released into the environment each year in Canada, exposing Canadians to larger amounts of the toxic chemicals than was previously known, says a National Research Council report.The report, released Monday, says dioxins appear to be a widespread contaminant throughout North America.It suggests that safety levels of dioxins in fish set by the government last year may be too high.Dioxins are a family of about 75 chemical isomers, or variations.While some are rated as relatively low in toxicity, others are called “super-toxic,” including the deadly 2,3,7,8-TCDD isomer, which is described as the most poisonous man-made chemical.The two-volume NRC report, produced by a panel of 13 experts, says dioxins are not only found in pesticides, disinfectants and industrial chemicals, but also are byproducts of combustion in cigarette smoke, wood stoves, car exhausts and incinerators.IN OTHER SOURCES Commenting on the safety level of dioxins in fish, the experts said if humans are being exposed to the chemicals from other sources, including treated woods and leather products, the safe level for dioxins in fish may be so low that it is impossible to measure.Recent techniques allow detection of one part dioxin in one trillion parts of fish.THE WOOL SHOP ns-immoM sm Your Money-Saving Days Are January 7, 8, 9, 11, & 12 10%-50% DISCOUNT On Our FINE QUALITY LINE MERCHANDISE ( Ports International" Line not Included in this

congregation in the churches in Dunham, Sunday, Dec.20, when good attendance was shown at the special services.A very beautiful service took place in the All Saints’ Anglican Church in the morning, when they held a Festival of Readings and Carols.The choir sang beautiful renditions of “Mary’s Boy Child”, “O Sanctissima” and “In the Bleak Midwinter”, with Jennifer Hobbs, Debbie Johnson, Robert Farnam and Rev.Paterson taking solo parts, with Mary Riordon at the organ.The Christmas Story was given in various Scripture readings by Robert Farnam, Joyce Burt, Becky Cavanagh, Rod Riordon, Edith Grassette and Tiny Symington.While Anita Vaughan, superintendent of the Sunday School read the story from the Scriptures, several of the young children depicted the Nativity Scene.The congregation joined in the singing of many carols throughout the service and everyone enjoyed a pleasant social period following the service, when refreshments were served by members of the Ladies Guild.+ + + The Dunham United Church held their annual Candlelight Service in the evening, when the church was filled to its capacity.The Processional hymn, O Come All Ye Faithful, brought the choir, made up of the Youth Group proceeding into the church carrying lighted candles, which they left in the windows.These, the lit candelabra and lighted Christmas tree, cast a soft glow of warmth and closeness of Christmas among the families and friends gathered together.Rev.Craig Chaplin extended a warm welcome in both English and French to everyone, and made special mention of those attending from neighboring towns and sister churches.He led the congregation in the prayer of approach, following which, the Youth Group then conducted the service, beginning with the singing of ‘‘People, Look East”, with Janice Harvey and Lynn Ingalls taking a duet part and Craig Chaplin at the organ.The readings of the Scripture Lessons were given by Whitney Young, Lynn Ingalls and Judith Martin.Colin Davidson of Sutton, sang “Twas in the Moon of Wintertime” as a solo, and also read a children’s story, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”.This not only intrigued the small fry gathered on the floor to listen, but the intense silence of the congregation demonstrated they enjoyed it as well.During the singing of the carols, when all the congregation took part, Mr.Ron Martin was at the organ.A short skit was acted out by Trudy Harvey, Darcy Vaughan and Tammy Kopf, entitled “The Spirit of Christmas”.The message was very well put across by these three young people, with everyone leaving for their homes, realizing the true meaning of Christmas has been taken away with all the rush and preparations of wanting to do everything perfect and “what is expected.” The closing anthem was O Christmas Tree, sung by the Youth Choir with one of their members, Trudy Harvey at the organ Refreshments, coffee and hot chocolate were served by the United Church Women following the service, and during the social period, Mr.Celand Selby, on behalf of the congregation, presented Craig Chaplin with a gift of money, and good wishes for the holidays.GABRIEL COUTURE & FILS LIEE.SPECIAL ATTENTION: Our Family

he was employed in Pittsfield, Mass., but chose to come back to his home town of Cowansville and to his father’s Lodge for initiation into Freemasonry.Later he was affiliated with Stanbridge Lodge No.19 and in 1929 became a member of Friendship Lodge No.66.In this Lodge he held several offices up to Worshipful Master in 1934 and then as secretary for over 20 years.An advocate of lodge visitations, he visited 97 lodges in the Province of Quebec, several now closed, and in eight American jurisdictions, to a total of 115 Lodges.Many of these visitations bring back fond memories of ritualistic differences and lodge room decor from simplicity to palatial magnificence, but in all instances a fraternal atmosphere and a spirit of good will.Church news from Bedford BEDFORD - The

Sherbrooke Beavers 4-2 in the only Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game Tuesday night.The victory vaulted the Draveurs into second place with 48 points, seven fewer than the first-place Hull Olympiques.Trois-Rivieres is one point ahead of both the Beavers and Shawinigan Cataractes.Goals by Christian Tanguay and Mario Carpentier in the opening period offset a reply by the Beavers Luc Bachand to give Trois-Rivieres a 2-1 lead.After a scoreless second period, John Chabot tied the score at 4:16 of the third frame but Verret and Pierre Sevigny, who scored at 19:29, spoiled the comeback.In action tonight, the Beavers play the Voisins in Laval, Shawinigan is at Hull and Quebec Remparts entertain Chicoutimi Sagueneens.Off to Lake Placid.Franklyn Dorey, Nil Labreque,

Randy White and place-kicker Rafael Septien, all of Dallas Cowboys, were named Tuesday to The Associated Press National Football League All-Pro team.Juniors put egos on shelf to win World Championship SASKATOON (CP) — Bruce Eakin says Team Canada players had to put their “egos on the shelf” to win the world junior hockey championship.“Discipline and resting our egos on the shelf is the reason we won,” Eakin, one of three Saskatoon Blades who helped Canada produce six wins and a tie in the championship tournament, said in an interview.Canada won the gold medal for the first time with a 3-3 tie against Czechoslovakia in Rochester, Minn., on Saturday night.Centre Marc Habscheid said the 20 players came together as a team because of harmony and discipline installed by coach Dave King.“Team Canada had some of the best players in Canada but we were told to forget about our egos,” said Habscheid, drafted last summer by the National Hockey League’s Edmonton Oilers.“We turned our attention to team play and team pride.” .Eakin played on a line with Paul Cyr and Mark Morrison, both from Victoria Cougars of the Western Hockey League, and had four goals and seven assists in the tournament.Habscheid had six goals and six assists and Todd Strueby, the third Blade on the team, had five assists.LOST MOMENTUM Habscheid said the Canadians were not sharp for two periods against Czechoslovakia.“Goaltender Mike Moffat kept us in the game.Before the third period we did some soul searching and dug down deep.We dominated the third and I think playing with emotion swayed the game in our favor.“The Czechs were really cocky.After the second period (when the Czechs led 2-1 ) they were banging on the dressing room wall and laughing like they had the game sewn up.We just gave it all we had in the third.” King, whose usual job is coaching University of Saskatchewan Huskies, said a memorable moment in the march to the gold medal was a 7-0 victory over the Soviet Union in Winnipeg.“After the game I came out in the hallway and a couple of ushers were drying their eyes.Men and women in the stands were holding Kleenex to their faces, singing 0 Canada.That game meant a lot to us but we really didn’t realize it meant so much to so many people.” But the pivotal game, King said, was against the United States.“We were 3-0, coming off a high and going down to play the U.S.in Minneapolis, in front of their crowd.We came out of the first period down 2-0.We’d totally dominated them, outshot them 15, 16-6 and they had two goals.But we won 5-4.The players deserve a lot of credit.They came down off that high from the Russian game, regrouped.” The motivation was there, King said, and what the coaches had to do was stress control.“It's tough to get emotionally high — in the Russian game they were ready to run through a brick wall — and still played controlled, poised hockey.That’s what impressed me about the whole thing, their ability to be so intense yet maintain their poise.” One thing he learned from the experience, King said, is “that the difference between winning and losing is a fine edge.” “To sit back and say wre’re overtaking the Europeans would be a mistake.We’re producing hockey players who are just good, but to be as good ternationally it has to be with discipline.” as in- Two other Dallas players, offensive tackle Pat Donovan and defensive end Ed (Too Tall) Jones, were named to the second team.The six Cowboys selected by a countrywide panel of sports writers and broadcasters amounted to the largest representation by any one NFL club on The All-Pro team.Joining Dorsett in The AP’s All-Pro backfield are rookie George Rogers of New Orleans Saints, who edged out Dorsett on the final weekend for the NFL rushing title, and quarterback Ken Anderson of Cincinnati Bengals.The first-team pass-catchers are tight end Kellen Winslow of San Diego Chargers and wide receiver James Lofton of Green Bay Packers and Alfred Jenkins of Atlanta Falcons.In a major departure this year, in order to recognize the increased popularity of the 3-4 defence along with the more traditional 4-3 alignment, The AP selected 12 players to its All-Pro defensive unit, adding a nose tackle (some teams refer to the position as middle guard) to the usual four linemen and three linebackers.San Francisco 49ers, whose 13-3 record in 1981 was the best in the league, followed the Cowboys with five All-Pro players — rookie cornerback Ronnie Lott and veteran defensive end Fred Dean on the first team (even though Dean was a pass-rushing specialist and not a starter for the 49ers) and quarterback Joe Montana, free safety Dwight Hicks and offensive guard Randy Cross on the second team.Four Bengals were selected to the two All-Pro teams — Anderson, offensive tackle Anthony Munoz and punter Pat Mclnally to the first team and rookie wide receiver Cris Collinsworth to the second team.Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets also had foui- players apiece selected to the two teams.The Steelers are centre Mike Webster, middle linebacker Jack Lambert and cornerback Mel Blount on the first team and strong safety Donnie Shell on the second team.The Jets are offensive tackle Marvin Powell and defensive end Joe Klecko on the first team and centre Joe Fields and defensive end Mark Gastineau on the second team.The remaining first-team offensive lineman is guard John Hannah of New England Patriots.The RECORD—Wednesday, January 6, 1982—9 Local lugers off to world meet SHERBROOKE (AR) - This year, for the first time, there will be a Junior Luge World Championship and nine Sherbrooke youngsters will be part of a 10-person Canadian contingent vying for top honors at Lake Placid, New York.The Sherbrooke lugers will be joined by one other team member from Ontario and will leave Thursday for Lake Placid to train for the World Championship, January 22 and 23.The training and competition runs will take place at Mount Van Hoevenberg, the site of the 1980 Winter Olympics and recognized as one of the premier luge runs in the world.In addition to Canada there will be 12 to 15 other countries competing in the event including: USSR, Italy, Japan, East and West Germany, United States, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden.This is the first major international competition for the team who have been participating in the sport for between one and five years.Ages of the group range from 14 to 19.Becoming a world class luger isn’t very easy when you live in Sherbrooke because there are no luge runs in the area or in Quebec.There isn’t even a competitive course in all of Canada although some shorter practice runs exist in Ontario.Most of the training done by the group has been on wheels in the summer time and down whatever kind of slope they can find in the winter.Sherbrooke had said they would build a course but because of budget constraints they had to bow out of the deal.Luge is a very technical sport where often the smallest mistake can spell the difference between a medal and 10th place.All of the competitors will be competing in the single luge although two have done some doubles but Canadian coach Larry Arbuthnot doesn’t feel they have gained enough experience yet.While the main goal for the Canadian team in the World Championships is to compete and gain valuable experience Bertrand Beaudoin, commissioner of the Quebec Amateur Luge Federation hopes his charges can place between 25th and 60th.During the actual world tourney there will only be eight Canadians entered.The 10-day training period will be used to gain experience and select the participants for the championship.The two who are left out will be named as alternates.Despite the lack of facilities in the area and the province, the nine (who make up the provincial team) have trained very hard over the years to get this opportunity.While luge isn’t a big sport in Canada, with about 200 competitors across the country, Beaudoin says it is popular in this region as witnessed by the high number of lugers from Sherbrooke on both the Quebec and Canadian teams.Beaudoin believes with exposure like the World Championships in Lake Placid and other competitions it is only a matter of time before the sport begins to catch on and courses are built in the area.Expenses for the trip are being paid by the federation and what the team has raised themselves through selling bottles, raffles and other money making enterprises.Habs edge Bruins MONTREAL (CP) - If the mark of a champion is rising to the occasion under adverse conditions, then Montreal Canadiens defenceman Rod Langway was in Stanley Cup form Tuesday night.With Guy Lapointe on the sidelines with a hand injury and Larry Robinson missing most of the game after he suffered a hip injury early in the first period, Montreal was forced to use just four defencemen.Langway was the best of an efficient Montreal defence corps, who permitted just 20 shots in their 3-1 National Hockey League victory over the Bruins.It was the 22nd consecutive home ice victory over the Bruins for Montreal , a streak that began Oct.30, 1976.“It’s nice to give up only one goal against a team like the Bruins — and a power play goal at that,” said Langway.“Brian Engblom (his defence partner) and I are especially conscious of not giving up goals so a game like this is a good game for us.” Boston’s only goal was scored by Rick Middleton at 7:57 of the second period with Canadiens Doug Jarvis off for hooking.FITTING GOAL On a night when the Canadiens displayed little firepower, it was fitting that the winning goal was scored by defensive specialist Bob Gainey.Gainey swept in a backhander at 2:52 for his 10th of the season after Bruins goalie Marco Baron had been caught out of position.“The goalie got into the corner and wasn’t able to get back into position in time,” said Gainey, who had his back to the goal when he swept the puck into the net.“I knew he wasn’t standing in the net although I could see him sliding back into the crease.” Mario Tremblay and Jarvis, with an empty net goal, scored the other goals for Montreal, who put little pressure on the Bruins.Sports shorts FOXBORO, Mass.(AP) — New England Patriots, who lost 14 games this season, offered their head coaching job Tuesday to John Robinson, who lost only 11 games in six years at the helm of Southern California.OTTAWA (CP) — Gaétan Boucher, who scored back-to-back speedskating victories in World Cup competition during December, has been named athlete of the month by the Canadian Sports Federation.Boucher, of Ste.Foy, Que., won the 500-metre, 1,500-metre and 3,000-metre events at a meet in Inzell, West Germany, and was less than two seconds off the world record held by Eric Heiden of the U.S.in the 1,500-metre race.• MONTREAL (CP) — To no one’s surprise Edmonton Oilers centre Wayne Gretzky was named National Hockey League player of the month for December on Tuesday, marking the third straight month he has captured the award.Gretzky, who celebrates his 21st birthday Jan.26, compiled 44 points in 14 games last month.Included in the total were 19 goals, which enabled Gretzky to reach the 50-goal plateau in his first 39 games this season.• NEW YORK (AP) — Don Shula of Miami Dolphins and John McKay of Tampa Bay Buccaneers were named Tuesday as head coaches for the National

innings at 265 for five, before close on the penultimate day of the fourth cricket test Tuesday.India in its second innings scored five without loss in the batting left to leave it needing 301 runs for a win in a full 60-round today.• DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rockies owner Peter Gilbert says the National Hockey League franchise will remain in Denver through the remainder of the 1981-82 season, but he says he hasn’t made up his mind about the team’s fate beyond this season.Gilbert indicated Monday that season-ticket sales in the next few months for 1982-83 would be a determining factor.He said the sale of from 8,000 to 9,000 season tickets by March “would certainly be a reason to keep the team here.” The club currently has about 4,500 season-ticket holders.The team lost $4.2 million lost
