Quebec counterpart, was trying to divert attention from the pollution in his own backyard when he accused Ontario of scuttling a long-term national program to combat acid rain.“I could be nasty and suggest to Mr.Leger that he devote his energies more vociferously to cleaning up the bloody mess in the Ottawa River and St.Lawrence (River),” Norton said Tuesday in an interview.“Millions of people in Quebec have been using the St.Lawrence as a sewer since time immemorial while we in Ontario have spent billions of dollars cleaning up (the environment).” i Norton said Leger got his facts wrong and that the so-called national program has not been finalized.Leger “has no justification for making those accusations and has set up a straw man that's more related to the situation in his own province .(where) they're only beginning to think about acid rain,” Norton said.Leger said Monday that Ontario retused to go along with proposed reductions on emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides, waste spewed from industries and coal-burning generating stations.The waste travels long distances, mixes with moisture in the upper atmosphere and eventually falls as acid rain.Leger, in Toronto to meet with federal Environment Minister John Roberts and some of his provincial counterparts, said Norton vetoed an Ottawa proposal that would have seen total Canadian emissions cut by 50 per cent by 1990.Leger said the proposal would have required Ontario and Manitoba each to reduce emissions by 60 per cent and Quebec to cut by 20 per cent.Ontario, whose industries and utilities produce about two million tonnes of emissions a year, the highest provincial total, plans to cut emissions by 45 per cent by 1990 Norton said Tuesday that the meeting he and Leger attended was only a preliminary discussion about what strategy to use at a Feb.24 meeting with U.S.officials.The goal is to work outa Canada-U.S.air quality pact since much of the waste comes from U.S.sources.Ranger crew unprepared for dangers, workers say ST.JOHN’S, Nfld.(CP) — A man who once worked aboard the iil-fated Ocean Ranger said Tuesday his friends thought he had three heads for taking a job on the oil rig.Another former crew member said his blood boils when he recalls lifeboats that couldn’t be lowered from the rig into the water.The men, interviewed the day after the huge rig was lost on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland with all 84 men aboard, said crew members were not allowed on lifeboats during weekly safety drills last year and many did not know how to get aboard them.Allan Rowe, a former roughneck on the rig, and Guy Wright, a former ice observer, supported comments Monday by an unnamed employee of an offshore sub contractor’s firm that men on the Ocean Ranger were not prepared for the dangers of the sea.The men all said that the nickname Ocean Danger, used among offshore workers and even in radio calls to the rig, was borne out of a lax safety attitude.There were no concerns among workers about the structural soundness ot thé rig, they said.Wright said people were under too much pressure to perform aboard the rig.“There was sort of a nasty atmosphere there,” he said.“It doesn’t seem to happpen on other rigs.” Rowe, 25, served seven months on the rig before quitting last August.“I didn’t want to lose any fingers,” he said.“My friends on the (oil rig) Sedco 706 would look at me like I had three heads or something for working on the Ranger.“Sedco abides by the laws of the sea — the smallest problem was reported immediately.On the Ranger, they didn't want us to know things.” The offshore contractor’s employee, who asked not to be named because his employer had ordered its workers not to talk to reporters, now works on the neighboring 706 rig, owned by Sedco Inc.of Dallas, and spent about eight weeks last year on the Ranger.He and Rowe both said safety drills were tight on Sedco 706 but undisciplined on the Ranger.Many of the Ranger’s personnel would not wear life jackets or hardhats when they were summoned, and they were ordered by supervisors not to board the lifeboats during these drills.Wright said once an attempt was made to lower lifeboats into the water Lévesque asks British to delay patriation but they did not work properly.“That point boils your blood,” he said.“If people were trained they would go automatically to the lifeboats and lower them into the water themselves.” A Danish trawler drew up to a sinking Soviet container ship Tuesday morning but sat helpless when the storm-stricken vessel refused its offers to evacuate the crew before sinking in the northwest Atlantic Ocean, the Canadian Coast Guard said.The bodies of 21 Soviet crew members of the 123-metre Mekhanik Tarasov were recovered and five others were plucked from the heaving seas by the 440-tonne Danish trawler Sigur-farid.Estimates of the total complement varied from 37 to 42, meaning there were between 11 and 16 people missing.But officials held out little hope they would be found alive.The ship went down near the edge of Newfoundland’s outer fishing banks, about 240 nautical miles east of St.John’s, Nfld., and about 65 nautical miles from where 84 oil rig workers perished on Monday in what was described as the two worst marine disasters in the northwest Atlantic in 40 years.Search and Rescue Centre officials said the Sigurfarid responded to distress calls from the 4,262-tonne Mekhanik Tarasov, but rough seas prevented the Danish ship from getting close.1 mm\u PHOTO/CLAUDIA BOWERS Andre Lemire’s Compton hog and poultry the door and the livestock was seized

Lemire to keep his independent family farm going.Lemire, 36, married and father of three boys and one girl, has worked all his life, with the goal of being his own boss on his own farm, always before him.In 1973, he and his father purchased the farm, which had been designed for hog raising from farrow to finish, and in 1979, when young Lemire bought out his father’s share, an extension was added, feed bins, mixers and feeders were added and total hog population reached 1,500 with a third storey housing 15.000 laying hens.See WE WERE Page 3 LONDON (CP) — Quebec Premier Rene Levesque has wTitten a letter of protest against today’s debate on patriation to Government House Leader Francis Pym and urged that it be tabled in the Commons.The letter dated Monday, is a follow up to a brief sent to all parliamentarians last week setting out Quebec’s objections to the package, and to an earlier letter from Levesque to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.“It is our view that it would be highly improper for the United Kingdom Parliament to act in the matter until the conclusion of the legal proceedings now in progress,” Levesque wrote.He was referring to Quebec’s court action in Canada seeking to establish that the provincial government still has a right of veto over constitutiona.changes.Levesque suggests there is no rush to pass the Canada Bill but should the British Parliament go ahead “we respectfully suggest the insertion of an amendment in the Canada Bill which would ensure that this law would come into effect only insofar as it is compatible with Canadian constitutional conventions.” Similar letters were also addressed to the government leader in the House of Lords and to Opposition officials.Economic rights would restrain government?OTTAWA (CP) — A constitutionally entrenched bill of economic rights — guaranteeing stable prices, balanced budgets and fewer government-controlled monopolies — may be one solution to the country’s financial problems, says economist Herbert Grubel.The self-described neo-conservative prescription, aimed at curing the current state of “romantic socialism,” is offered in an article in the latest edition of Candian Public Policy.Grubel, a professor of economics at Simon Fraser University near Vancouver, says governments have engaged in too much harmful “economic engineering.” They should be restrained by the constitution from further tinkering with the marketplace.“It is my conviction that the people of Canada are better served by a greater reliance on markets, rather than on politicians and bureaucrats, to solve economic and social problems.” Such an idea is being discussed with increased frequency in the United States, but it w-as not given consideration by Canada’s politicians during the latest rewriting of the constitution.At the top of Grubel’s economic rights is the right “to be free from burdens imposed by current and past deficit spending” by governments.He concedes that deficits sometimes are necessary, but budgets should be balanced “over full business cycles.” Grubel’s list also contains “the right to a stable price level.” This could largely be achieved, he argues, through the Bank of Canada refusing government requests to increase the money supply, thus fueling inflation.Grubel further advocates the right to own private property, the right to be protected from expropriation without due process of law, and protection against legislation of prices and wages.” He maintains that rent controls, agricultural marketing boards, low' energy prices, high minimum wages and other interventions in the marketplace are politicaly appealing because of short-term benefits.But in the long term, such actions usually reduce supplies of goods, resulting in higher prices later.The final right on Grubel’s list would control the growth of monopolies by government.Monopolies such as the Post Office, rail passenger transport and telephones are owned or controlled by the government because of a fear these services would be too costly if operated by private enterprise."Many economists now agree that the fear of these costs is exaggerated, because all industries have competition from substitute products and the risk of entry by competing firms is great.” Ciaccia hits Bédard for coverup PHOTO/CLAUDIA BOWERS Dashing through the slush,.Dashing through the snow with

linked to an alleged scandal in the Quebec Housing Corp.and of covering up the facts of the case.At a news conference Tuesday, Ciaccia called on Bedard to make public the report of an investigation of the government agency and to order a public inquiry.Bedard announced last December that three police investigatioas had turned up no evidence of criminal acts, but Ciaccia wondered whether the minister was telling the whole truth.“What Bedard told us, after ‘having weighed his words,’ is that there was no fraud or attempted fraud,” Ciaccia said.“But the minister remained silent on any attempted corruption.If the government has nothing to hide, why does it refuse to make the reports public?Is the minister trying to hide some of the truth from the people?“We have the impression they are trying to carry on a cover-up “Faced with the opaque transparency of the minister of justice and (Premier Rene Levesque), I have no choice but to believe that the govern ment has friends to protect," Ciaccia said Bedard may not want to embarrass some members of his government by ordering an inquiry, Ciaccia said, but “the government can’t ask people to respect the laws and tighten their belts on the one hand, and give evidence of very loose administration in its own acts.” “It is time for Bedard to prove he is serving the interests of justice before serving the interests of his party.It is time for the justice minister to stop creating two categories of people as regards the administration of justice, one for those who have links with the PQ and the others.” Garcia blames leftists for Guatemala massacre GUATEMALA CITY (AP) Guatemala’s army chief of staff, Benedicto Lucas Garcia, has implied that leftist guerrillas were to blame for the massacre of 43 villagers by machete-wielding gunmen in military uniforms.Lucas Garcia told a news conference Tuesday that “subversive groups” — the term customarily used by officials for leftist opponents of the military government — were responsible for the slaughter Monday night in Calante, a village in El Quiche province 260 kilometres northwest of Guatemala City.There was no immediate comment from the leftists.But human rights groups contend that government forces or right-wing paramilitary “death squads” are responsible for most such killings.A 22-year-old woman who was wounded in the attack and died while receiving medical attention reportedly described the attackers were heavily armed gunmen clad in olive-green fatigues.Another high-ranking military spokesman, who asked not to be identified, said flatly that leftists were responsible.NO EVIDENCE Neither Lucas Garcia nor the military spokesman provided any evidence for their claims.And, as with most political violence in Central America, the claims could not be verified independently.Police and military spokesmen said most of the victims appeared to have died after their throats were cut, and many of them were mutilated beyond recognition by machete or bayonet slashes.Six of the dead were children and all the victims appeared to have been peasants living in Calante or nearby villages. 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, February 17,1982 Granny-bashing ignored in home violence studies OTTAWA (CP) -r- Abuse of the elderly — known sometimes as “gramslamming” or “grannybashing” — is a significant but unfortunately overlooked problem, the Commons health committee was told Tuesday.The abuse may be physical, verbal, emotional, sexual or material, says a study by Sara Filbee, a former Dalhousie University law student.“In one case, a family had imprisoned their parent in the cellar.“Another family sold the assets of the parents and appropriated the proceeds to their own use.“The two were fed on bread and water and locked inside the house.When allowed outside, the elderly couple was told to remain on the veranda and not to talk to anyone." In another example, a 94-year-old woman was admitted with venereal disease after being raped by her son.There was also the case of a woman she called Mrs.X.“Mrs.X lived with two caretakers who had reluctantly inherited the responsibility of her care from their mother.“X was grossly neglected and became increasingly confused.She would not allow the visiting nurse to bathe her.“She became covered in her own feces and at times was barricaded in her room.” MANY ABUSED The real extent of the problem is not known, although some studies estimate 10 per cent of elderly persons are abused by their families, Filbee says.More research would be invaluable, adds Alastair Bissett-Johnson, a Dalhousie law professor specializing in family law who presented Filbee’s study to the committee Tuesday Meantime, the problem should not be ignored and the MPs, who are studying family violence, should deal with it hand-in-hand with the problems of child abuse and wife battering, Johnson said.Family violence has a cyclical nature, he said.“Abused children may turn out to be a battering spouse, or even, having never felt love or how to deal with family conflict in a socially acceptable way, children who batter their elderly parents.“Unless the repeated cycle on violence can be broken, it will perpetuate itself from generation to generation.” * Wi SETTLE 1STATIS * TAX PLAN YOUR INCOMI *

layoffs for early next month.GM spokesman Nick Hall said Tuesday that 3,800 workers will be laid off the week of March 8 at the company’s Oshawa auto assembly plant, which manufactures full size Chevrolet and Pontiac models.More than 170 workers at another Oshawa plant will be laid off the week of March 1 and about 130 workers will be laid off at the same plant the following week.In St Catharines, 1,280 GM workers will be off the job the week of March 1.The following week, 1,130 employees will be laid off at the plant.At GM’s Windsor trim plant, 500 workers will be laid off the week of March 1 and 350 will be laid off the following week.The company also announced that 1,750 workers laid off Feb.1 from the company’s Ste.Therese, Que., plant will not be recalled until early summer.The announcement came in the midst off a major layoff at plants in Oshawa, Windsor, St.Catharines and Toronto.That layoff will have affected more than 9,100 workers by the time it ends Feb.26.“There just aren’t the orders,” Hall said, adding potential car buyers are hesitating because of high interest rates.Ted Murphy, president of United Auto Workers Local 222, said problems at GM will continue until interest rates drop substantially and Ottawa moves to deal with the problem of imported cars in the domestic market.“Obviously we can’t do anything about interest rates at the bargaining table,” Murphy said.Fawcett-Majors marriage over, house to be split LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge dissolved the marriage of Farrah Fawcett and Lee Majors on Tuesday and ruled their $2.5-million home is to be divided evenly.But Superior Court Judge Harry Shafer said he has not decided who will live in house and buy out the other.Both Fawcett and Majors want it.Shafer said he would visit the house, which is near Beverly Hills, and “hope the man upstairs gives me the wisdom to do what’s fair to two nice people.” He said his decision would be announced shortly after the visit, but didn’t say when he will visit the house.Majors, star of ABC-TV’s The Fall Guy and The Six Million Dollar Man, bought the house in his own name for $198,000 on May 1, 1973.At the time, he was living with Fawcett, star of the Charlie’s Angels series.After the couple married later that year, they improved the house at an estimated cost of $1.5 million.He said Majors was entitled to repayment of the $57,000 down payment he placed on the house before the couple married, but all equity paid into the house since then is community property.Shafer also ruled a contract Fawcett had for production of an item of jewelry using her name is a community property asset.She was paid $333,000 under the contract.The judge made a tentative ruling on her multi-million-dollar contract with Faberge to promote a line of cosmetics.At first, Shafer told Fawcett he felt she was entitled to all the profits.But after hearing from Major’s lawyer Harry Fain, the judge said $287,500 of that contract should be considered community property, to which Majors would be entitled to one-half.Shafer added the ruling was not final.Feds won’t shred RCMP files collected needlessly OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government has no intention of immediately destroying files the RCMP security service has needlessly collected on individual Canadians, Solicitor General Robert Kaplan said Tuesday.Kaplan agreed in the Commons the 800,000 individual files collected by the security service are “an excessive number.” Weathe Sunny today with a high of near -5.Cooling down overnight to a low of

from the four-year McDonald royal commission into activities of the force in the 1960s and early 1970s, he said.“With the prospect.defences may be raised that require production of those files, I felt it in order to postpone any file-destruction policy which I fully intend to implement in due course.” Svend Robinson, New Democratic Party justice critic, called for destruction of the files “many of which should never have been opened .(to) put an end to this gross violation of the privacy of thousands of innocent Canadians,” But Kaplan refused, saying they should be available to possible defendants, even though he admitted there have been no prosecutions or disciplinary hearings to date as a result of the McDonald commission report.Robinson, MP for the suburban Vancouver riding of Burnaby, wanted to know why there have been neither.Kaplan said RCMP Commissioner R.H.Simmons is waiting for decisions about possible charges by Attorney General Jean Chretien and his provincial counterparts.#1___fogl Kccuru George MacLaren, Publisher .569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-6345 Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager .569-9525 Mark Guillette, Press Superintendent .569-9931 Richard

detention by March 7 to attend the christening of his daughter, the labor union's chaplain said Tuesday.“Given that date for the christening, he believes he will be free soon and for good,” Rev.Henryk

Kama ‘We were taking one step forward and two back’ Continued from page one Yesterday, feeding was carried out sporadically and, judging by the sounds emanating from the barns, only the sows had been fed.With a background of squealing pigs and squawking hens, Lemire described how a dream had suddenly disappeared before his eyes.“1 quit school quite early, and perhaps my lack of education and understanding of finance has helped get me in this mess,” he said “But my dream was to own a farm, and working long hours for several years seemed to be the only way at the time.” “My dad and I bought here in 1973, and finally I seemed almost certain to attain my goal.Pigs were high and the market was good.The evaluation of the farm was enough for the credit I needed and we were off to a good start.” “But almost immediately the market price, as well as breeding stock sales, began to drop.The original evaluation soon became a joke, and when a million-dollar enterprise is valued at about $400,000, combined with interest rates and bank managers which changed just about every month, we soon realized we were beginning to take one step ahead and two steps backwards.” Lemire had three full-time employees who are now on unemployment insurance.Asked what he would do Lemire replied, “Go on welfare.no, I don’t have any trade qualifications, although being a farmer means you can do almost any trade as well or better than many in the union.” Lemire will move to Sherbrooke, with little hope of finding any employment.His children will change schools and his wife will also look for work.He has only the clothes on his back, as of yesterday.The bankruptcy has taken everything — the house, car, furniture and whatever is of the slightest value for the bankruptcy sale.“I asked for some emergency help from the farm credit bureau,” he explained, “and for a little while they led me to believe some aid might be forthcoming.They were here soon after i the bank placed the padlock on the door, informing me there could and would be no help.The bank foreclosed on a million dollar enterprise, where the egg quota alone is worth about $400,000 — because of a debt of $425,000.” A federal Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs report says economic stagnation resulted in a 600-per-cent increase in Quebec farm bankruptcies last month over January, 1981.Twelve Quebec farmers declared bankruptcy last month despite government price supports and low interest loans.The report says the total number of farm bankruptcies in Canada rose from 16 in January, 1981 to 25 last month, including 10 in Ontario and one each in Manitoba, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.Quebec’s 12 bankruptcies last month compared with two in January, 1981 photo/claudia bowers ^^et0^%^rupicieswerein

its mining-milling operation to t^ke place this year, affecting about 2,000 workers.SHERBROOKE (CB) — The jury deciding the fate of Real Denis is still deliberating this morning.It will decide whether he is guilty or not of charges of criminal negligence and using a firearm illegally in the death August 23 last year of Roger Demers.Five verdicts are possible, Judge Jean-Louis Peloquin told the jurors as the trial ended.The accused can be found not guilty by reason of self-defence if he didn’t use excessive force; he can also be found not guilty by reason of self-defence if he is found to have used excessive force but believed he wasn’t using excessive force or that his gun was jammed (Demers was killed by a blast from a 12-gauge shotgun); guilty if he is found not to have killed the victim in self-defence and showed reckless disregard for his life; guilty if he was defending himself but intentionally used excessive force ; guilty of a lesser charge if he was careless in having handled the gun but not guilty of using it in the commission of a criminal act.SAWYERVILLE (SM) — Environment Quebec is asking residents of Sawyerville to boil their tap water 20 minutes before drinking it.According to officials at the Environment Quebec’s Sherbrooke office, the reason for the poor quality water is due to a shortage in the tow n’s present reservoir.The officials say the new water source, which has been tapped by the town since Monday night is not as clean or drinkable as the old source.Therefore the boiling measure will be put into effect until the town and the government department can set up a filtration system and purify the new source.The officials would not say how long it would be before the new source is good enough to drink.The time has come to tell the tale.GHOST STORY Starring SISSY SPACFK VI AKS Local hockey fans support AHL franchise idea By Bobby Fisher SHERBROOKE — It’s becoming an annual event.Once again this year talk has surfaced about an American Hockey League franchise landing in Sherbrooke.This year the parent club would be the Winnipeg Jets.Yesterday The Record went out on the streets to ask the good citizens of Sherbrooke just what they thought about a minor league pro club in the Queen City.Fernand Couture, Mechanic “I don’t think Sherbrooke can support an A.H.L.team because there are too many unemployed people who can’t afford to pay the prices necessary to support a team.I follow the Beavers in the papers and I would hate to see them leave.” Philip Pinel, C.P.Training Officer “People in Sherbrooke are interested in hockey and they will even wait a couple years but, they will eventually want a winner.I think that a pro team here would be a good ego trip for the city and people will be able to identify with it.” Leo Paul Lemieux, retired “I think it’s a good idea.I’ll pay good money to watch a good product.” J.D.Gagne, Marketing Analyst “Personally I don’t think an A.H.L.franchise can survive here.It takes a lot of money to run a team like that, and a larger population.” Stanley Holmes, farm owner “A.H.L.in Sherbrooke?It’s worth a try.It seems to me that the Beavers have pretty much run their \ France

team in Sherbrooke they will have to go through the local city council, and as of yesterday afternoon, “the city of Sherbrooke has not been involved,” said Charles-Andre Beaudoin, a spokesman for the mayor.“All that we know is what we’ve been reading in the papers,” added Beaudoin.He went on to say that the two teams must first “come to an agreement and then they would have to approach the city.” When asked if he thought that an A.H.L.team would be beneficial to the city, Mr.Beaudoin said that he had to comment.Pierre Laroche, CEGEP student “I’ll pay to watch them.I’d rather watch pro than junior hockey.” Ron Olson, company V.P.“I don’t think that an A.H.L.team will get any more support than what the Beavers are now getting.People around here can’t associate with the Beavers because of the lack of local talent.” Dale Kinder, bartender “They should stick with the Beavers.In the past any team affiliated with pro sports sparks a good deal of interest for two or three years and then it fizzles out.Just like the old baseball teams.” Monique Couture, Asst.Mgr., jewellery store “Some of the Beaver players come in once in a while and they are very nice.I’d hate to see the team leave because right now they are doing so well.It’s too bad that we couldn’t have both, but there seems to be a reluctance on the part of the local population to turn out.Maybe something big like this would do it.My husband is a big hockey fan so he would probably go and watch, and I’d try to make it out to the occasional game.’ ’ France Grégoire, Bell Canada researcher “I think it would be a good thing, another activity.A real event.” Dianne Aubin, store owner “It’s worth the extra money for a good product and Sherbrooke is a supportive town.Surely an area with the population of Sherbrooke can draw crowds comparative with that of their equivalents in the United States.Besides, we need something to put us on the map.” Marc Bilodeau, 13-year-old student “The extra cost of tickets is nothing if you’re getting a better calibre of play such as the Voyageurs (Nova Scotia), and the Express (Fredericton).” There you have it.The opinion of the man (woman, child) in the street.The people interviewed were, for the most part, in the dark as to what is happening in the “A.H.L.for Sherbrooke” sweep-stakes, but were fairly evenly divided in their views on the feasibility of a major league

RECORD-Wednesday, February 17,1982 Editorial The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Economic bill of rights?Simon Fraser University economist Herbert Grubel thinks he has a solution to Canada’s economic woes, a solution that will ultimately benefit Canadian citizens by enshrining their “economic rights”.According to Grubel, what the country needs is a constitutionally-entrenched bill of economic rights that would guarantee stable prices, balanced budgets and fewer government monopolies.Grubel also maintains Canadians would be better served by a greater reliance upon market forces rather than a dependence upon meddling politicians and bureaucrats.Very few Canadians will disagree with Grubel that we are the most overregulated nation on earth and while the promise of a balanced budget and stable prices is alluring, one can only presume Grubel is a victim of the rari-fied atmosphere of his mountaintop university when he suggests we be left to the tender ministrations of market forces.It was, after all, market forces that brought us record oil prices — albeit market forces manipulated by the international oil cartel.It was also these forces which have recently resulted in cutbacks in rail service for all but the chosen few in the Montreal-Windsor corridor.One shouldn’t forget either that it is fluctuation in the market that causes the perennial catastrophies in the dairy, beef and pork industries.Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, government action in a variety of areas is not only necessary but valuable.In the recent rush to supply-side economics and the rigid principles of monetarism witnessed primarily in Britain and the United States, conservative politicians and many economists, have forgotten that many of the theories of John Maynard Keynes, the original and main proponent of “government interference”, are still valid today.Without government involvement, Canadians would be once again faced with an economy, and therefore a society, controlled by individuals and corporations whose sole motivating force is profit.Assuredly there is nothing wrong with profit but when the search for financial gain reduces human beings to merely economic factors much like material and capital, the result has historically been catastrophic for most of society.Given a choice between a government which can be removed, if only every four or five years, and a market which can and is manipulated by unscrupulous multinationals, Canadians are probably far better off with the former.TIMOTHY BELFORD Civil liberties group warns against civilian agency OTTAWA (CP) — As Solicitor General Robert Kaplan’s officials make key decisions this week on the formation of a new civilian security-intelligence agency, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association has warned that the agency must be tightly reined by politicians “Kaplan told us that our timing was good,’’ Alan Borovoy, the association’s general counsel, said after a two-hour meeting with the minister responsible for the new agency.“He told us that positions aren’t firm yet and the brief could influence policy.He is in the midst of key discussions with his officials this week.” Decisions made at the official level by such persons as Fred Gibson, appointed last August to create and direct the new agency, are expected to emerge in late spring as legislation Kaplan announced in August that the agency would be created to replace the RCMP security service, a key recommendation arising from a four-year inquiry into the service by Mr.Justice David C.McDonald of Alberta.WILL PRESENT BRIEFS The association has spent recent months preparing positions on the McDonald report and plans to present briefs to Kaplan on mail-opening and other investigative techniques the new agency may seek.The association, however, questioned McDonald’s proposal that a civilian agency be created to protect national security.It recommended that a new federal police force be created to deal with espionage, sabotage and terrorism.It also questioned the mandate McDonald proposed for the new agency.Allowing it to carry out “intrusive investigations” using residential entries, bugging and mailopening, as a result of “activities directed towards terrorism or serious political violence” might result in groundless investigation of lawful conduct.This “preventive” approach could have a chilling effect on the right to privacy and dissent.The FBI, like the RCMP, had “perpetrated sweeping violations of civil liberties” in an early 1970s assault on dissent, the association noted.The U.S., as a result, had in 1976 placed strict restraints on the FBI’s domestic security operations.By 1978, the FBI’s domestic security caseload had shrunk to 642 from 9,814, “If the leading and largest country in the democratic world can function viably despite these restrictions imposed upon the FBI, it is hard to justify the kind of preventive mandate recommended by the McDonald commission.” Reagan preparing Caribbean speech WASHINGTON (CP) — For his next major act on the foreign-policy front, Ronald Reagan is returning to the first of his presidency 13 months ago, when he directed public anxiety to what his government described as a Communist menace in the Caribbean and Central America.Administrative aides are working on what they bill as a major policy statement on the Caribbean Basin region, to be delivered in a presidential speech soon, probably by the end of the month.A significant difference since Reagan first singled out Cuba, Nicaragua and the Soviet Union as fomenters of revolution in the region is that former supporters at home and abroad now are more circumspect about going along with the Reagan line.In particular, they question the Reagan idea that the region is an arena of Soviet-U.S.competition.Doubts have been fuelled by a weekend report in the Washington Post that policy plans include “the encouragement of political and paramilitary operations by other governments against the Cuban military presence in Nicaragua.” Reagan refused to comment.Adding to fears of armed U.S.involvement, direct or indirect, was publication of a photograph of a U.S.military adviser in El Salvador with a rifle — along with a briefcase — although the advisers were supposed to be unarmed and uninvolved in combat.TRAIN EXILES These developments followed disclosure that Latin American exiles are training in Florida as a so-called Inter-American Defence Force against regimes in Nicaragua and Cuba.Congressional studies have challenged a Reagan report two weeks ago that respect for human rights in El Salvador has improved.The report was required by law as a prelude to providing more aid to the Salvadorean regime against a left-wing guerrilla army.There is thus growing suspicion in the U.S.Congress that Reagan’s Caribbean Basin aid and trade policy for friendly countries in the region — would be coupled with increased military commitments.Several Congressmen are studying the situation in El Salvador.Abroad, notably in the Canadian government, there has been a comparable shift of official attitudes away from wholehearted support of the U.S.approach towards the related civil war in El Salvador.The United States has opposed a negotiated peace there and supports elections scheduled next month, which others — recently including Canada — doubt can be fair in wartime.At his first news conference as president, Reagan said he would develop a policy towards Communist-leaning Caribbean countries “of bringing them back in, those countries that might have started in that direction, or keeping them in the western world and the free world.” One year later, in his Jan.26 state-of-the-union address to Congress, Reagan said that “in the vital region of the Caribbean Basin we are developing a program of aid, trade and investment incentives” to promote security.He also warned thatagainst “those who would export terrorism and subversion to the Caribbean and elsewhere — especially Cuba and Libya — we will act with firmness.” The U.S.idea of a Caribbean-Central America development plan was unveiled last June during a Washington visit by Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo.It was promoted at first as a U.S.-Mexico-Canada program to build a bulwark against Marxist subversion, although the Canadians were caught by surprise and the Mexicans resisted joining in any kind of anti-Cuba, anti-Nicaragua crusade.The U.S.planners insisted there would be no military or specifically anti-Marxist component.It was discussed, without much result, at a meeting last July between U.S.State Secretary Alexander Haig, Canada’s external affairs minister, Mark MacGuigan, and counterparts Jorge Castaneda of Mexico and Jose Zambrano of Venezuela.Some Reagan administration officials have nevertheless stressed the policy’s anti-Cuba, anti-Soviet basis.During a Bogota visit last October, for example, U.S.Vice-President George Bush invited Colombia to join in the Caribbean Basin plan as a combined campaign against Soviet “destabilization in this area” through Cuba.A year ago, MacGuigan publicly supported the strong U.S.line in the Caribbean-Central America region, saying he had no disagreement with Haig’s portrayal of Soviet-directed subversion.More recently, following a series of critical reports by a Commons external affairs subcommittee on relations with the region, MacGuigan has been less enthusiastic.Referring to Central America in a Los Angeles speech about U.S.-Canada relations two weeks ago, MacGuigan said that “we simply cannot afford to see every Third World conflict through an East-West prism and, as a consequence, to align ourselves with the forces of reaction, privilege and inhumanity.” He has also opposed increased tJ.S.military aid to the Salvadoran regime and expressed doubt about supporting elections there in current circumstances.MSS “Have you been giving any thought to turnip quota revisions?” A look at what others think Moncton L’Evangeline: The city of Moncton knows it is not immune to the caprices of the economy .and two weeks ago it got another bad shock when Canadian National decided to lay off 71 repair shop employees.Damaging as these layoffs are to the local economy .in the final analysis they appear to be merely the tip of the iceberg.Why did CN decide on these layoffs?The economy being what it is, national rail transportation has decreased by 10 to 20 per cent.Less equipment is therefore needed, hence less manpower.In itself, this is logical.From now on it appears the company will live only from day to day, without long-term planning.This attitude may change, but meanwhile CN has sunk dangerously into inertia.Thus, like Via Rail and other services that emanate from the Canadian government, CN is joining the ranks of those who have reduced services available to the public.As a result, taxpayers are punished in the name of the economy.In any event, the Moncton region will lose many more jobs during the coming months, and no one seems able to do anything at all to stop it.— Nelson Landry, Feb.8 Acadians denied access to services FREDERICTON (CP) — Acadians in New Brunswick, the only officially bilingual province in Canada, are being denied equal access to specialized health care because of language barriers, Acadian activists charged Monday.Spokesmen for the New Brunswick Society of Acadians, one of the leading pressure groups promoting Acadian issues, told a news conference in Fredericton a study commissioned by the society has revealed shocking inadequacies in health care for francophones.Society president Denis Losier said a full range of medical services are available only in the Saint John, Moncton and Fredericton regional hospitals.He said that at the Saint John and Fredericton hospitals, two of the largest and most modern itt New Brunswick, the staff are not required,4(0 speak French.Losier told reporters of one francophone woman who had her baby in the Fredericton hospital during a shift when no French nurses or doctors were on duty.Since the woman could not speak English, “they provided her with an English-French dictionary.” He said French people are forced to go to anglophone hospitals for special treatment because the smaller bilingual hospitals can provide only basic medical care.But once in the English hospitals, francophones are often emotionally isolated by the language barrier.“Saint John, Moncton and Fredericton are giving all the services in New Brunswick — how in hell did it happen that the French hospitals don’t have any services,” Losier said.PROVIDE SERVICES The Acadian society is demanding that New Brunswick’s 12-year-old Official Languages Act, currently under review, be amended to require that all hospitals in New Brunswick provide services in both official languages.At the moment, bilingual care is required only in the predominantly French hospitals of northern New Brunswick.The large regional hospitals in Saint John and Fredericton were incorporated under different laws and have no such language requirement.The Acadian society also asked that more francophones be hired by the Department of Health and that more public money be spent to train and hire French-speaking medical specialists.There are about 250,000 francophones in New Brunswick, roughly one-third of the province’s population.Aurele Theriault, secretary general of the Acadian society, said the provincial government must take into consideration the emotional and financial costs of hospital care for francophones in New Brunswick.Theriault said that since Acadians living along New Brunswick’s north shore cannot receive special health care at small local hospitals, they must travel long distances to the English hospitals of the south.He said whole families often have to be relocated at great expense and inconvenience while one family member undergoes special treatment.The Acadian society’s special report on health care has been given to the provincial government for study, Losier said.Air of gloom pervades Polish life today BY Doug Long WARSAW (CP) — On the streets of Warsaw, people refer to “the war” when they are confronted with the facts of martial law.Since Dec.13, most of Warsaw’s 1.5 million residents have been forbidden to leave the city, must be off the streets by 11 p m.each night and are told when they pick up their telephones that their conversation may be monitored.They are prohibited by soldiers armed with automatic weapons from driving through certain sections of the city considered militarily strategic and motorists are flagged down regularly and their cars searched In what is becoming a daily occurrence, military convoys of tanks and endless truckloads of troops snake through the streets at rush hour in an obvious show of force, tying up traffic for up to 30 minutes as grim faced Poles stare in silence.“The war,” as it has been derisively labelled, has sapped the city of its spon- taneity and there is no sign of an end in sight.Winter skies that are usually grey and overcast only add to the air of gloom.But the suspension of civil rights ordered by Poland's military chief, Gen.Wojciech Jaruzelski, to prevent the country from slipping into “anarchy and chaos, is not the only problem of day-to-day life.QUEUES ROUTINE The queues for food and other staples, which North Americans have witnessed for months on their television screens, are still an everyday fact of life here and elsewhere in the country.Past experience has shown that food and politics are closely linked in Poland.In 1970, workers were killed in riots when the government sought to raise prices, there was another backlash last year and the Communist government had to back down.So the military regime decided that, with martial law already in effect, there would be little chance of resistance to a fresh attempt at price increases.The cost of staple foods went up a staggering 400 per cent two weeks ago So far, there have been no reports of trouble.However, even government officials concede that food shortages are likely to worsen in coming months.They say Poland needs three million more tonnes of grain this year because U.S.economic sanctions cut off corn shipments.A collapse of chicken breeding will mean greater dependence on already scarce supplies of beef and pork, officials admit.An average Polish office worker earns about $140 Canadian a month.More than one third of that salary is needed to rent a two-bedroom apartment in a suburban high-rise building.SUPPLIES LIMITED The average family is limited to 2.5 kilograms of meat a month, or about two small chickens.The price of sausage, a mainstay in the Polish diet, just quadrupled to about $2.85 kilo and pork rose to about $5.40 a kilo.Poles are quick to point out that rationing leaves little opportunity for select! shopping.Shelves are nearly empty most the time and, after enduring long lineups .freezing temperatures, they must tak what’s available.Shortages of consumer goods cover al facets of daily life.Gasoline is rationec automobile parts are scarce, household goods, toilet paper and cooking oil are ii short supply.The state-controlled Polisl television network broadcasts demon strations of how to make soap at home.Outside Warsaw, conditions are im possible to assess because of continuini travel restrictions.Inter-city telephom service was only restored last week.of But a drive north to the Baltic port Gdansk late last week, permitted by authorities, revealed similar shortages and lineups in every town and village.Jaruzelski has said martial law may eased by the end of February.But betting here is that “the war” has just begun.the be the The RECORD—Wednesday, February 17,1*82—5 Business —_____ftei ifBcuxn New road salt policy irks western Canadians Rv .Ipff By Jeff Adams CALGARY (CP) — Residents of the Stampede city are becoming increasingly angry about something Eastern Canadians have accepted without a whimper for decades: road salt.Calgary streets, like those in most Prairie cities, are usually kept relatively free of the auto-eating white stuff all winter, largely because temperatures never rise high enough to make salt useful.But during a balmy November and December last year, Calgary road crews applied enough to the streets to prompt several recent phone calls to city hall from outraged residents who have begun noticing telltale white salt stains on the their cars, the kind so common in Eastern Canada.“Everybody’s got alarmed,” said Sam Humeny, manager of the city streets division, in a telephone interview.Complaint calls are still coming in, he said, from residents reacting to incorrect news reports stating the city has abandoned its strict “no road salt” diet in favor of looser and saltier policies more common in the East.Humeny said too many Calgarians and westerners in general are still under the misconception Prairie cities use no salt at all.In fact, any sand mixture applied to roadways includes about five per cent salt.And Humeny said Calgary’s 15-year-old policy of using pure salt when warmer weather makes it practical is one common in most other Western Canadian cities, including Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon and Winnipeg.RATE VARIES The designated, “threshold” temperature above which salt can be applied varies from one municipality to another, said Terry Murphy, Edmonton’s roadways director.But he said “the use of salt by Western Canadian cities is almost negligible” in comparison with the rest of the country.Humeny said the 4,000 tonnes of pure salt applied to Calgary streets during the warm November-December period amounted to half the city’s annual salt total but it was still only about one-tenth what Toronto and Montreal use on a comparable road network.Eastern winter temperatures are warm enough that salt will melt snow almost anytime.But patches of thin “black ice” can remain on much colder Western Canadian roads for weeks, regardless of how much salt is applied.One Prairie city that recently joined the salt talks is Lethbridge, Alta.It is midway through a two-week experiment in which city road crews are applying pure salt to several uncontrolled street intersections, in addition to the major intersections, bridges, underpasses and traffic circles where it is already used.Buck McNeely, Lethbridge’s street and roads supervisor, predicted public pressure will stop the city from ever approving full use of salt on Lethbridge roads, despite the fact “if we could use more of it, we wouldn’t have the slippery conditions we have now.” Things aren’t quite so slippery in Regina, and Stan Jack, the city’s construction and maintenance supervisor, said the main reason is probably the younger generation’s impatience.Winter road policies there call for salt as soon as the temperature rises above —8 C, a liberal standard in comparison with most municipalities in the west.Jack said Regina residents don’t like the rust that salt can cause on their cars, but most are members of the “younger generation that wants higher speeds and clearer roads.They won’t put up with driving slow on slippery roads the way old people will.” London suburbia train or Siberian adventure?Simpson leads misleading advertising list Residents of London’s suburbs used to commute to work quickly and easily on the efficient train system.Now, that system is in trouble and the trip has become an adventure.LONDON (CP) — What is supposed to be a routine commuter run into London somedays seems to have more in common with a trip across revolutionary Russia on the Trans-Siberian line.During a recent evening rush hour, the train heading through the faintly frozen environs of south London was barely on its way when it stopped.Time passed.The windows fogged up.The passengers sat bundled up in proper gear — prepared for what the British term “Arctic weather” and what Canadians call a “nice day.” It could be a matter of time before this journey, only 30 minutes long in theory, makes it onto a list of great railway journeys of the world.Come to think of it, Paul Theroux, the American author of such best-selling travelogues as The Old Patagonian Express, is camping out somewhere in London these days.Maybe he could be persuaded to add this to his list of rail escapades.Ten, fifteen minutes pass and still no movement.Twenty minutes, and instead of bolting, the beast wheezes and the lights die out.Silence falls after a few snorts and the odd giggle from those with well-developed defence mechanisms.CURRENT IS LOST Heads poke out of windows.What’s happening?“We’ve lost the current,” comes the reply.It must be found because this train won’t budge without a steady, intravenous diet of 750 volts.Some riders give up, exiting into the suburban “Siberian” night, armed only with umbrellas.“If only they would tell us what’s happening,” grumbles one dissident."Then we could make a decision.But they don’t tell you anything.” “That’s the beauty of it, isn’t it?” remarks his companion.At last, chugging noises signal that they’ve found the current.All aboard for the half-hour journey that takes two hours, this time.On this line, the hazards are many.There’s the wicked autumn leaf, for instance, denounced in a British Rail poster last fall for the way it causes train wheels to slip.There’s the mighty snowflake that fouls up the electrical system, transforming the average day “points failure” into an epidemic called “multiple points failure.” Then there are the daily last-minute train cancellations “due to staff shortage.” Another day, train drivers are off on strike again.That's the last spike.You can’t beat these trains.They turn the humdrum of commuting into an adventure.OTTAWA (CP) — The Robert Simpson Co.Ltd., paying fines totalling $77,000, topped the list of 17 companies and individuals found guilty of misleading advertising during July to September last year, the Consumer and Corporate Affairs Department said Monday.The Robert Simpson Co.had advertised diamond rings for sale at 40 per cent less than the appraised value and claimed that “each ring is individually examined by a skilled gemologist,” said a department report, report.It was subsequently established that each ring was not individually examined and that the “appraised value” was assigned by Robert Simpson Co.and adopted by a gemologist, H.Forth and Co.Ltd., the report said.Robert Simpson Co.pleaded not guilty to 11 charges of false advertising but was convicted and fined Sept.15, 1981, $7,000 on each charge.H.Forth and Co.was fined $500 on each charge.The case is under appeal.Other cases include: — Maisons Mobiles Thetford Inc., of Quebec City, was fined a total of $25,000 for 10 charges following oral statements to the public that only a limited number of mobile and prefabricated homes were being offered at special prices during a specific period.An investigation revealed the number of homes available for sale was untrue.— K.B.M.Electropedic Adjustable Beds Ltd., operating as Electropedic Products in Vancouver, was fined $2,500 after advertising massagers at a “special" price of $99.95, when it was established the devices had never sold for more than $34.95 in the area.— 359286 Ontario Ltd., operating as Trans Atlantic Import and Sales in St.John’s, Nfld., was convicted and fined $500 for a misleading television commercial concerning the durability of pantyhose.Builders group develops the convertible home Take it from Darryl S'rttler.bee*' c c c V ^ÊÊÊ WINNIPEG (CP) — Many families looking for ways to make ends meet have built a small apartment in the basement of their homes or rented out a spare room.But the Toronto Home Builders’ Association has developed a house designed to provide that extra income when the need arises.The house, dubbed the Maximizer II, looks like any other large, single, detached home from the outside.However, by altering a few doorways inside, it is converted easily from a four-bedroom dwelling for one family to two self-contained, two-bedroom homes.Peter Langer Jr., past president of the association, predicts a great future for the idea because it has the potential to make home ownership more affordable and to help ease the shortage of apartments as well.In these times of high mortgage rates when it’s difficult for young couples to make the switch from renting to owning, he says the Maximizer II makes home ownership easier because it offers a way for a buyer to manage high monthly payments.BETTER INVESTMENT “It’s a much better investment to anybody who is buying, because there’s that potential second source of income,” he said in an interview Monday.Later, said Langer, when the couple have children, they can knock out a few doorways and take over the entire home.Still later, once the kids have left home, the house can be changed back to the c iginal arrangement and the couple can use the rent as a source of additional retirement income.Langer said the Maximizer II is more convenient to adapt than the traditional home.It has two separate entrances, two patios, two bathrooms and other amenities suitable for use by either one family or two.Only the heat and other utilities are shared.All this means a family doesn’t have to move out of its home and pay all the costs associated with moving simply because the family’s lifestyle changes.“The housing adjusts to the family’s changing needs,” Langer explained.WILL RAFFLE OFF HOME The Toronto builders’ group arranged for a model home to be put up last year on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition.It plans to raffle off the home in April, with the proceeds going to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and then move the house to a lot and foundation in the suburb of Scarborough.Delegates to the annual meeting of the Housing and Urban Development Association of Canada in Winnipeg were told Monday the home isn’t cheap.Toronto builder Hugh Heron estimated the costs for the Maximizer II at $35 to $36 a square foot.That would put the cost of the home — not including the cost of a serviced lot — at close to $80,000.However, Langer said he believes costs will come down as more homes of that kind are built and he remains hopeful the concept will catch on with both builders and buyers.“The real key will be the public acceptance of it,” he said.“My feeling is the public will accept it.”

KBcara Knowles back thanks to nine-member stroke team OTTAWA (CP) — The familiar tall, gaunt figure walked into the workshop and, after quipping with the therapist, got down to work.Stanley Knowles, champion of the common folk and MP for 36 of the last 40 years, approached the pine planter with the single-mindedness and determination that have made him a legend in Parliament.The 73-year-old New Democratic MP for Winnipeg North Centre suffered a massive brain hemorrhage Oct.2.After recovering from emergency surgery to relieve the pressure on his brain, he was transferred to the Royal Ottawa Hospital’s regional rehabilitation centre.The therapy there has been intensive and, at times, exhausting, but Knowles never complained — and never gave up.His hopes to return to Parliament have kept him fighting from the early days, when “I was just far gone,” to today, when he is being discharged from the centre.The veteran MP has recovered physically, but still has trouble in the areas of comprehension and communication.He says the next two months will determine whether he will be able to resume his place as NDP House leader.During that time, he will continue therapy as an out-patient two days a week — including the occupational therapy sessions during which he has built everything from bookcases to the pine planter.The woodworking allows him to exercise concentration and communication skills, in addition to being creative, explains therapist Penny Pepin.Those sessions are part of an extensive program the centre’s nine-member stroke team uses to help their patients reach maximum independence, says psychologist Dr.Carol Bullard-Bates.She says patients usually spend two to three months at the centre and then about two months as out-patients because most progress is made in the six months following a stroke.Programs are developed individually and depend on the type of stroke, the area of the brain affected and the resulting problems.For example, some patients face partial or total paralysis of one side of the body, requiring intensive physical therapies.And some, like Knowles, suffer verbal and comprehension problems, and need more extensive speech and concentration aid.An elaborate daily routine is developed by a physician; physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapists; a nurse; a social worker; a psychologist, and a discharge planner.The team co-ordinates and overlaps therapies to provide consistency and support, closely monitors progress and works with the families to help them understand the patient’s needs and deal with their own concerns.Ann La ndersr Dear Ann Landers: I suffer from depression and have periods when I am suicidal.I have gone, on my own, to the crisis unti of our local hospital many times after overdosing.I see a therapist once a week and am a member of a group therapy "family.” I live in fear that I will OD again and die waiting for the doctor to call me back.(This almost happened last time because his receptionist didn’t take me seriously.) I wish people would stop telling me to pull myself together and “hang in there.” They have no idea how hard I am trying.I know I am not alone.There are thousands -maybe millions - like me .I have so much to live for, but when I go into deep, black depression, I can’t face the pain of living and want to end it all.Can you tell me something about the recent discovery of a gene that causes severe depression?If you say this is true, I would feel less ashamed and more hopeful that a cure might be found.Please reply.— Salem Reader Dear Salem: According to the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr.Harvey Stancer of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto and Dr.Lowell Weitkamp of the University of Rochester have identified a gene on the sixth chromosome that they believe makes people susceptible to chronic depression.Dr.Stancer said doctors have known for many years that depression runs in families, but they have not understood the genetic pattern.Now that the troublemaking gene has been identified there is hope that the scientists can go on from there and find ways to prevent as well as treat major psychiatric illnesses, alcoholism and antisocial behavior.Both doctors warned against overoptimism, but it certainly looks promising.Dear Ann Landers: A person who ranks several rungs above me at my place of employment has a mind that is in the gutter and a sense of humor that must be connected to a sewer pipe Almost every day he has a filthy joke or some gadget or picture or crude gimmick he must buy through the mail.I never see such things for sale when I shop.I wish you would tell me how to react when he springs these taste less “surprises.” Please remember, 1 need my job.— Revolted In Florida Dear Revolt: Register nothing.No shock.No disgust.No amusement.No approval or disapproval.In other words, play dumb and walk away.Dear Ann Landers: A while back you published a letter from a woman who asked what you thought about a person who sent gifts with the price tags still attached.I believe you said it was “gauche” or something like that.Why?When I send gifts, I request that the sales slip be left in the box.If the person doesn’t care for my selection, or would prefer to have something else, the slip makes it much easier for the recipient as well as the store.I am sure you would be horrified by this, but I consider it honest and practical.Care to comment?— Ollie Of Opelusas Dear Op: The pleasure of a gift is receiving something selected especially for you.If you insist on being so practical, why not just send the money?social notes Knowlton plans

college draft "* .Wm W Phil Charron drafted by Calgary Record News Services TORONTO — There were just five Quebec players chosen in yesterday’s Canadian Football League college draft and only one Bishop’s Gaiter, Phil Charron, who was selected by Calgary.Charron, a wide receiver still has another year of college eligibility left since he was injured for the entire 1981 season.Another Bishop’s player, defensive back and punt return specialist Mark Fabri will be given a tryout with Ottawa but was not one of the players selected in the six round, one-hour draft.He also could play university ball next season.The other Quebec players chosen were all from McGill with the exception of Gerry Prud’homme, a wide receiver from Concordia Stingers.McGill linebackers Marc Lemery (Toronto), Denis Tardif (Ottawa) and Marc Jonas (Saskatchewan) rounded out the list of Quebec draftees.However one of the more unnerving parts of the draft for most CFL owners and general managers was to see the Edmonton Eskimos smiling.The Eskimos, who have won four consecutive First woman’s rink at Legion spiel COWANSVILLE (JM) — History will be made here with the inclusion of the first allwoman rink to participate in the Royal Canadian Legion’s Provincial Playdowns which open tomorrow.Provincial Sports Officer Lloyd Bryson confirmed late yesterday the rink out of Hudson Branch 115 will represent the regular section.“It’s certainly a first for an all female rink, although we’ve had one gal curl for Schefferville in the past,” Bryson commented.“Maureen Mitchell and her rink whaled me,” Hudson steward Allan Jones said in a telephone interview with The Record last night.“She’s got a good rink and should be a very worthy representative for our branch.The bonspiei is to be played in Cowansville and Granby is divided into two sections — regular and associate members and seniors.Although the curling begins at 9 a.m.Thursday, the official opening will be held at the Cowansville rink at 7 p.m.that night.Both categories will be split into ‘A’ and ‘B’ sectors with the winners of each meeting in the finals.Participants in the regular sector are Branch 115 Hudson, skipped by M.Mitchell; Buckingham 514; Auc-lair 121 (Qtterburn Park) K.Adams; Phil-lipsburg 82, L.Messier; Lachute 70, B.Randall; Sherbrooke 10, J.McRae; Valleyfield 62 J.Stewart; Morin Heights 171, I.Morrell; Auclair, B.Michaluk and Flanders 63 (Park Extension) L.Leham.The Seniors include Lachute, E.McFaul; Hudson, B.Cook; NDG 24-106, M.Allen; Auclair, R.Jones; NDG, H.Ashton; Valleyfield, H.Morris; Sherbrooke, J.Kane and Cowansville 99, G.Green.The curlers and their wives will be Cowans-viile’s guests at a civic reception Friday evening and the playoffs are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.Saturday.Branch 99 will host the banquet Saturday night and finals, if necessary, will be continued to Sunday morning.Cooney fight delayed?Grey Cups, usually get their way during regular-and post-season play.And now they believe they’ve gotten what they were after in the CFL college draft Tuesday.The Eskimos, who employed the first all-Canadian offensive line in the CFL last year, bolstered that area by drafting an offensive tackle on their first selection.As their first pick and ninth choice in overall, Edmonton selected Ron Connop, an offensive tackle from Wilfrid Laurier University.Frank Morris, Eskimos director of player personnel, said the club would be retaining an all nonimport defensive line, “barring an act of God.” The Eskimos selected eight players in all.Toronto Argonauts, who had the No.1 selection, made a surprise move by selecting running back Mike Kirkley from the University of Western Ontario.Kirkley, 22, was the first of four picks the Argos had among the opening seven players selected.Toronto then picked wide receiver Greg Holmes of tiny Carol College in Wisconsin — No.2 overall — followed by offensive tackle Tony Antunovic of Simon Fraser, No.6, then defensive tackle Chris Schultz of the University of Arizona, seventh overall.The lonliest figure at the draft was Alouettes general manager Bob Geary — the sole Montreal representative — who does not even know if has has a job with the club for the 1982 season.Despite having just one pick in the first three rounds, Geary maintained the Alouettes got the player they wanted — Clint Van Ostrand, an offensive tackle from Whitmorth College in Washington.„ Calgary Stampeders, with the first non-Toronto pick and third overall, selected Toronto running back NeiL Evans.The next two selections were defensive backs — Trent Soper of East Oregon by Saskatchewan and Bernie Glier of British Columbia Thupderbirds by B.C.Lions.The Lions also took highly-regarded Troy Ciochetti, a wide receiver from Alberta Golden Bears, eighth overall, as a result of a deal with Ottawa Rough Riders.Hamilton Tiger-Cats, with their first pick in the draft, made Dave Zilli of Toronto Blues the first linebacker chosen.That selection was made in the second round, 16th overall.NEW YORK (AP) — With only an official announcement standing in the way of a postponement of the March 15 World Boxing Council heavyweight title fight, the battle between champion Larry Holmes and Gerry Cooney’s camp has deteriorated into longdistance name-calling.Holmes, suggesting Cooney had created the injury to his left shoulder in his mind, labelled the New York heavyweight “Looney Cooney,” at a news conference Tuesday in Las Vegas, Nev., site of the scheduled fight.Dennis Rappaport, Cooney’s co- manager, replied that Holmes “was so absolutely lacking in any type of comprehension of the problem, it’s obvious he is no nuclear scientist.” Holmes also charged the report of torn muscle fibres in Cooney’s left shoulder was a means of delaying the fight — for which each fighter is guaranteed $10 million — to the May-June date he said they wanted originally.Holmes said he had to fight regularly to stay in shape and that promoters were “looking for someone for me to fight” next month.L t DENIM JEANS PRE-WASHED l For Men Sizes: 30-44 $1500 2 ATTENTION OPENING HOURS Tues.Wed Noon 'til 4:45p.m
