tested in Domtar toxic mess By Steve McDougall WINDSOR — Quebec Environment Ministry officials are testing water samples from the St.Francis river around Windsor today to determine whether two toxic chemical spills by the Domtar Pulp and Paper plant two weeks ago have made water undrinkable.No preventative warnings have been issued asking residents to boil their water before they drink it or to avoid drinking it at all.News of the spills, which occurred March 29 and 30 was only given to the ministry last Monday — seven days later — which it says is “unacceptable” Action will be taken against the company because of the delay.According to Domtar.6,200 gallons of sodium chlorate mixed with dichromate were spilled accidentally into the river on March 2ft and the following day another 1.100 gallons were purposely dumped because of hat the company called “production problems”.Yesterday, environment officials from Sherbrooke met with company management to find out why the chemicals were dumped and why the company took so long to report the spills.No news from the meeting was available this morning.Windsor mayor Marcel Noel, a Domtar employee himself, said today he had not heard of the spill and would have to look into it further before making any statement.The environment Ministry has also sent technicians to Drummondville, downriver from Windsor to see if the toxic spills have affected drinking w’ater there as well.If the test prove such contamination, it is likely that all towns supplied from the St.Francis or from water tables close to the river will have to have their water supplies checked for contamination.Jacques Tremblay, plant manager for Domtar, was not available for comment.According to his wife, he was in Quebec city yesterday ‘for personal reasons’, not the spill, and would be returning later today, RECORD/PtRRY BEATON Shelter from winter chill Strange weather doesn Y just affect humans, as Eldora Turner of Lennoxville was reminded yesterday.Hundreds of thousands of birds, many of the more delicate southern species, have returned from their tropical winter homes at the usual time of year, only to be deprived of their normal food, and forced to eat much more than usual to keep warm, by this week’s late snowstorm.“There were 16 different species in the feeder this afternoon, " Turner said.She urged all bird lovers to keep their feeding stations well-stocked and their cats under control until the weather improves.Cool Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke, Thursday, April 8,1982 35 cents U.K., Argentina stake out naval battle zones From Reuters-AP Argentina and Britain have staked out rival battle zones around the Falkland Islands in the south Atlantic, posing a fresh challenge for U.S.efforts to settle the crisis by diplomacy.Britain told Argentina Tuesday to withdraw its navy ships from a 200-nautical-mile war zone around the Falklands by Monday or risk having them sunk.Argentina, which seized the islands on Friday, responded by setting up a special south Atlantic command to defend the area and a zone 200 miles from the Argentine mainland.Its military leaders said the command might conduct acts of self-defence if national security is threatened They also said certain reservists are being called up.A British battle fleet began the fourth day of an 8.000-mile voyage to the south Atlantic but Britain is reported to have several submarines in the Falklands area already.U.S.State Secretary Alexander Haig was heading for London for talks on the dispute.He is due to fly on to Buenos Aires.Comments by Argentine officials Tuesday suggested Argentina might be softening its previous hardline stance.Britain’s new foreign minister, Francis Pym, told Parliament Tuesday that Britain is willing to negotiate a peaceful settlement if Argentina withdraws its forces from the Falklands.I N BACKS BRITAIN But he said Argentina must face the consequences if it does not comply.The United Nations Security Council last Saturday urged Argentina to pull out of the islands, controlled by Britain since 1833.Official sources in Buenos Aires said Argentina might be willing to withdraw its forces in return for British recognition of its sovereignty over the islands Haig, who U.S.officials said wanted to be an "honest broker" between two friends of the United States, was to confer with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Pym.He will go to Buenos Aires later in the week to talk with the generals running Argentina’s military government The Foreign Office said Pym welcomed Reagan’s decision to send Haig as a mediator.It said he came as a “friend and ally.” Haig met in Washington with Argentine Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendez Gas strike crumbles as leaders deal MONTREAL (CP) — The 10-day-old gasoline station strike which has stranded Quebec motorists from the Gaspe Peninsula to the Ontario border appears to be all but over.In a statement early today, one of the two striking organizations representing independent gas retailers, the Federation des garagistes et détaillants d’essence du Quebec, told members to reopen their stations today And Vincent Della Noce, president of the second group of independent dealers, the Association des services de l'automobile du Quebec, told a membership meeting Wednesday night that intensive negotiations with Quebec Energy Minister Yves Duhaime had resulted in dealers obtaining “60 per cent" of their demands.He did not elaborate.The end of the strike may come too late however, for at least one local group President Pierre Houle of the fund-raising drive Share Your Bread (Pain Partage) announced yesterday that the campaign, which had planned to offer 60,000 loaves of bread for sale Saturday, had decided to postpone activities because of the difficult transportation conditions brought on by the combined effects of the weather and the gas shortage He said the group, which sends money to charities in Poland and other hard-hit areas, would re-schedule the sale for a Saturday in April.The group will still be carting around 10,000 loaves in the border where gasoline is available.The campaign will also continue in Asbestos, Lac Megan-tic and some parts of Disraeli where the Larochelle bakery had already arranged delivery and baked the bread.“What can we do?With everybody travelling on foot and this big storm, we decided to delay for a while and wait for a better day,” said Robert Plante, publicist for the group.Wednesday evening, Della Noce cautioned Montreal retailers belongong to his organization to keep their pumps closed for the time being.He also asked those who had reopened to shut again pending an agreement.Bui Irving Oil Ltd.settled with its independent dealers on Tuesday; Imperial Oil Ltd.with most of its dealers on Wednesday and Shell Canada Ltd and Petro-Canada obtained court injunctions forbidding harassment of their gas station owners.So it did not seem likely that many independents would heed Della Noce’s advice.Precise details of the settlements were not revealed, but it was understood that the companies had agreed to increase profils for their independent retailers.Striking independent gas station operators in the Gaspe and Rimouski regions of eastern Quebec and the Lanaudiere region northeast of Montreal agreed to go back to work Wednesday .RECORD/PERRY HEATON '=s»s * '

block patriation of the British North America Act, the province will come out ahead in its constitutional argument with Ottawa, Premier Rene Levesque said Wednesday.“We never thought we had a royal straight flush to start with,” Levesque said at a news conference hours after Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that the province has no veto over constitutional change.The government now will take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.But whatever the Supreme Court decides, Quebec will gain ground in the light against Ottawa, the premier said.Il I he high court rules that Quebec does have a veto, the premier said, then Feeling wild?Try stress TORONTO (CP) — If you feel like having a wild and crazy love affair, it may be because there’s not enough stress in your life, says a Toronto stress manager."People suffering from high stress are prone to sexual or romantic indiscretions when stress lessens,’’ psychologist Dick Earle said.Workaholics, for example, are addicted to high stress If that stress is reduced and “there are no challenges or problems in life, he may go out and look for them,” Earle, president of the Canadian Institute of Stress, told a conference this week on industrial safety.“And having an affair is one of the most efficient ways” of getting more stress, he said The stressaholic may have only a minor interest in the other person "What he's interested in is the fix of stress,” he said.Besides its toll on Canadians’ physical health, stress costs the economy more than $11 billion a year.* About $5 9 billion is lost in overall productivity, while $5.6 billion is lost to health care costs, Earle said in an interview CAN REDUCE COSTS A migraine sufferer for example, can cost an employer more than $3,000 in lost lime and efficiency, he said In contrast, a good stress treatment program for each employee costs about $500 or $600 and has an 85-per-cent success rate, he said.Chronic sufferers get colds 10 times more frequently than other employees and strep throat lour times more often, Earle said Stress is a defensive reaction to possible threats or changes.Chemicals released during stress allow’ the body to function at its peak ; the body reacts the same way to physical and psychological stresses, Earle said “Being mugged or having your boss tear a strip off you is exactly the same kind of stress to your body.” Workers must learn to control stress so it helps them, he said But rather than go overboard — lhat's when your jaw starts twitching, your shoulders tighten and you lose your concentration you should do a few deep breathing exercises Other techniques include concentrating on a pleasant memory By following some simple habits to slow down the wear and tear of stress.Earle said a 45-year-old man can add 11 years to his life He recommended regular sleep, three balanced meals a day, controlling your weight, moderate alcohol and caffeine consumption, no smoking and regular aerobic exercise the legitimacy of the accord last November between the federal government and the other nine provinces will be in doubt, On the other hand, if it determines that Quebec does not have a veto, then the Parti Québécois can argue that the province will never be secure in Canada and will be better off independent.The Parti Québécois is planning a march in Montreal on April 17 to protest the arrival of the new constitution, Gilbert Paquette, a PQ national assembly member and party executive member, said “We’re counting on the participation of (Premier Rene) Levesque and members of the cabinet,” Paquette said, adding that organizers hope 25,000 people will come out for the march.It will begin in Lafontaine Park in the city’s east end and move towards Maisonneuve Park near the Olympic Stadium.But the stadium will not be used, and the party — rather than the government — will foot any bills.Festival gets grant back By Charles Bury LENNOXVILLE — Canada's only full-size all-Canadian theatre company got some good news for a change Wednesday when Festival Lennoxville received word that the Canada Council had reversed an earlier decision to cease funding the 10-year-old operation.Two weeks ago the Council shocked the Eastern Townships and national artistic communities with the announcement that it had turned down Festival Lennoxville’s application for a $113,000 annual grant, questioning the financial viability of the company and its 1982 program.But yesterday it changed its mind and came up with $85.000.assuring the ’82 season and making the future of the Festival more promising “We have a festival,” said Allan Lysell.administration director of the company.“We’re having fits of ecstasy here ’’ Last week Festival organizers travelled to Ottawa to appeal the refusal, armed with a revised budget and the knowledge that reaction against the decision had been widespread and bitter Hundreds of letters, See COUNCIL Page 3 Allan Lysell.fits of ecstacy ¦ i * 2—The RECORD—Thursday, April 8,1982 PQ, management side against labor over pay freeze QUEBEC (CP) — The Parti Québécois government’s third economic conference with business and union leaders ended Wednesday with some consensus but much division on ways to lift the Quebec economy out of the doldrums.A proposal that calls for unions and business to chip in $1 billion for a program to create 85,000 jobs through the construction of 50,000 housing units sparked interest among all parties involved.But government and management sided together against labor over the contentious point of freezing the salaries of public and para-public workers for two years to prevent Quebec’s $3.5-million deficit from growing.Treasury Board President Yves Berube said the salary freeze could save Quebec almost $700 million this year, about the same amount the government wants to trim from its budget to be tabled next month Quebec reinforced its point Wednesday by producing a study that indicated public sector workers earn between 3.5 and 11 per cent more than their private sector counterparts and have better pension plans and shorter work weeks.On Monday, Premier Levesque told conference participants there are four ways to get the economy back on track: higher income taxes, a public service salary freeze, cuts in government services, or a combination of all three.Following adamant protests by union groups over any salary freeze, Levesque said the government would “think about" not placing the burden of economic recovery on public and para-public workers.But he said at the conclusion of the conference Wednesday: “We re still not out of the hole It is the government that will have to cut.” Unions suggested they will retaliate against any attempt to freeze public and para public worker pay increases by taking a tough stand at the bargaining table during upcoming contract talks.Hormonal deficiency may NeWS-in-brief * Wi SETTLE ESTATES * TAX PLAN YOUR INCOME * FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION * SPECIALIZE

Bryant is dead at 53 Record unemployment in March Nine-week holiday scandalizes BOSTON (AP) — Doctors at Quebec’s Laval University have discovered a hormonal deficiency that makes sperm unable to swim, apparently causing a form of infertility in men, a report published today in the New England Journal of Medicine says.Male infertility has a variety of causes, but in this case the researchers identified a chemical necessary for sperm motility.Without it, the sperm cannot travel to fertilize the female egg In the study, directed by Dr.Claude Gagnon, the Laval doctors found that these people had low levels of the enzyme protein carboxyl methylase, a substance that also helps propel bacteria and blood cells.The doctors measured the enzyme levels in nine infertile men, 22 fertile volunteers and 10 men who had had vasectomies.They found that the levels in the infertile men were 75 per cent lower than in the normal men and only slightly higher than in those who had vasectomies.In one of the men, enzyme levels returned to normal, and the sperm spontaneously started swimming.The doctors say that other chemical processes besides protein-carboxyl methylase are involved in sperm movement.“Presumably, a series of reactions control the complex motions of these cells, and it is conceivable that the elimination of any one of the components will disrupt the entire process,” the doctors wrote.Boy in schoolyard spat to put in service hours GAINESVILLE, Fla.(AP) - A teenage boy who allegedly pinned the arms of a schoolgirl while another child whacked her in the nose has been ordered by prosecutors to work for a juvenile aid service.Ronnie Dexter, 13, was accused of holding six-year-old Shirley Lynn Nickolls while seven-year-old Nancy Jo Burch hit her with a stick Feb.4.“Dexter is going to the Juvenile Alternative Services Project for 16 hours of work service,” Assistant State Attorney Don Royston said Monday.In addition, the arbitrator who finally got the feuding parents of the two girls to sit down and talk out a resolution to the case now will try to help the victim’s parents reach a settlement with Dexter’s parents.Dexter will probably work for a public or non-profit organization, said Gary Weinstein of the Juvenile Alternative Services project.“We ll keep him busy after school and on weekends,” he said.The schoolyard spat, which left Shirley Lynn with a bloody nose and some damaged cartilage, reached international attention when the girls’ parents went to court and Nancy Jo’s lawyer asked for a trial in adult court instead of leaving the matter up to juvenile authorities, He said he wanted to ensure that the girl wouldn’t have an aggravated battery charge on her record, and was confident that an adult jury would exonerate her.The state attorney’s office then declined to prosecute and the parents agreed to go to arbitration, a juvenile procedure aimed at getting the parties involved to work out their own solution.The Burches agreed to pay half of the $40 doctor’s bill incurred by Shirley Lynn's parents.Weinstein said he hopes to meet soon with the parents of Shirley Lynn and Dexter to discuss payment of the other half of the medical bill.'Capitalist filth9 corrupting China — Workers Daily PEKING (Reuter) — “Capitalist cultural filth” is corrupting China following the government’s open-door policy toward the West, the

allies are giving it strong support against Argentina.West Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands clamped an embargo on arms to Argentina after it seized the Falkland Islands.Those four state and five other partners of Britain in the European Economic Community are considering economic sanctions.A foreign affairs spokesman for Belgium, the current chairman of the EEC, said three forms of sanctions are being considered at Britain’s request: restrictions on imports from Argentina, restrictions on credit and a joint ban on delivery of weapons to Argentina The West German government, after a special cabinet meeting presided over by Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, condemned the Argentine invasion and said it was “a flagrant violation of the human-rights obligations for peaceful settlement of international disputes and the refraining from force in the relationship between states.” The French cabinet at a meeting Wednesday imposed an embargo on the shipment of arms and military spare parts to Argentina.The presidential chief of staff, Pierre Beregovoy, said orders for advanced aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles were affected.Danish Foreign Minister Kjeld Olesen strongly condemned the Argentine action.He hinted his government is prepared to join in EEC sanctions.Among the neutrals, Sweden and Switzerland halted export of war material to both Argentina and Britain But Swedish Foreign Minister Ola Ullsten condemned Argentina, saying it “is indulging in an irresponsible game in order to cover up the miserable conditions within its own borders.” There were reports Austria will embargo arms to Argentina Spain's position was complicated by the imminence of negotiations it opens April 20 with Britain on its claim to the British colony of Gibraltar.It called for transfer of the Falklands to Argentina to “secure the re-establishment of Argentine territorial integrity." But it opposed “the use of force as a means to resolve the conflict” and advocated negotiations.Support for Argentina Most Latin American countries are rallying to Argentina’s side in its dispute with Britain over seizure of the British-administered Falkland Islands.But as a huge British armada heads towards the South Atlantic with the aim of reclaiming the archipelago by force if necessary, some of Argentina’s neighbors are expressing concern over the Argentine invasion, Panama, the only Latin American country on the United Nations Security Council, stood alone in voting Saturday against a resolution calling for withdrawal of Argentine forces from the islands 250 nautical miles off Argentina’s coast — remnants of a once vast British empire.Peru, which has strong trade ties with Argentina and is receiving Argentine aid in developing nuclear energy, quickly issued a communique supporting Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands, or the Malvinas as they are commonly called in Latin America.Although the text said Peru hoped the dispute would be resolved peacefully, Peru’s minister of war, Gen.Luis Cisneros Vizquerra, said several days later Peruvian support could be extended to military aid.“We are ready and prepared to act,” he said.Other countries, including Mexico and Brazil, said they support Argentina's claim to the islands, but felt Argentina should respect the UN Security Council resolution calling for withdrawal of its forces.Venezuela, seething over a territorial dispute with Guyana left over from British colonial days, sharply criticized the Security Council resolution for ignoring “the original”cause of the problem .the territorial plunder committed by the occupying colonial power.” Guyana was quick to condemn the Argentine takeover as “a violation of the fundamental principles of the charter of the United Nations, including .respect for internationally recognized boundaries.” Chile issued a communique expressing “deep concern” over the Argentine invasion.In 1978 the two countries came close to war over three small islands in the Beagle Channel — at the southernmost tip of South America.Hermes is ready.ABOARD HMS HERMES AT SEA (AP) — Foran indication of the spirit on board this bristling warship, one need go no further than the editorial page of the latest edition of the Hermes Herald.“Let’s hope that any other tin-pot nation who tries to twist the old lion’s tail is watching very carefully the events which hopefully are going to befall this particular nasty dictatorship,” it says.Toward that end, the men and machines of the carrier Hermes - flagship of the task force Britain is sending to reclaim the Falkland Islands from Argentina — were being honed to a fine point of readiness today.As Harrier vertical-takeoff jets and Sea King antisubmarine helicopters roared aloft in last-minute training exercises, below decks the two men responsible for the ship’s readiness sat in a cramped cabin, talking about the mission.The cabin is the seagoing home of Capt.Lyn Middleton, commanding officer of the 28,700-ton aircraft carrier and a Royal Navy jet fighter pilot during the Suez crisis.DISH OUT HARD WORK “I will be working the men pretty hard .before we reach the Falklands,” he said.His son, Ray, 21, is a helicopter pilot with a guided missile destroyer in the convoy.Middleton’s second-in-command, Cmdr.John Lock, said the Hermes is “already in a high state of readiness.” “We just have to hone that readiness as much as • we can,” he added.“We are always ready.That is our raison d’etre ”; Middleton said the Hermes “is well prepared and equipped with the most sophisticated electronic equipment available.” The Herald, meanwhile, was warning the men against complacency: “The ball is well and truly in our court now and we have to come up with the goods.Let’s not un-derestimate the task we have ahead.” The KECORD—Thursday, April 8, 1982—3 The Townships —____ttgl ixecam Egypt’s Ambassador stresses stability need in Middle East By Timothy Belford Egypt’s Ambassador to Canada, His Excellency Tahseen Mohamed Basheer, was the guest speaker at the Sherbrooke-Lennox-ville branch meeting of the Canadian Institute for International Affairs held yesterday evening at Bishop’s University.Ambassador Basheer, speaking before the largest gathering of the year, opened his remarks with the observation, “I have had to come to Sherbrooke to realize not all problems come from OPEC,” a comment that illicited a sympathetic ripple of laughter from the audience so recently deprived of gasoline.Basheer, a career diplomat who has served under three different Egyptian Presidents — Nasser, Sadat and presently Mubarak, spoke at length on the present and future of Egypt and its developing role in the Middle East.Basheer stressed both the need for a stable political situation and an infusion of aid for his native country which is growing at the rate of 1.25 million people per year.Concerning the role of Anwar Sadat in the development of the nation and the possibilities for Egypt after Sadat in the development of the nation and the possibilities for Egypt after Sadat, the Ambassador pointed out that Egypt,was the first organized nation state long before Sadat arrived on the scene and will likely continue to exist long after the present generation of leaders is gone.“Egypt will survive Nasser, Sadat, Murarak and me because that has been the fate of Egypt.” Throughout the course of his pre-sentation the Ambassador returned again and again to the necessity for peace and stability in the volatile Miririlp East, not only peace between Israel and Egypt, but peace between Israel and the entire Arab world.He cautioned the audience not to be the victim of simplistic analysis in their attempts to understand the Palestinian question pointing out that throughout the entire history of the Middle East no one nation, tribe or race has ever had sole occupation of the region now called Israel.The Egyptians have developed patience, says Basheer; a patience they will need if they are to solve the multitude of economic, social and political problems now facing the nation.One bright light on the horizon, according to the ambassador, is the multitude of human resources Egypt possesses.For a country whose problems need “creative solutions”, this resource may indeed insure that Egypt survives.RECORD/PERRY BEATON m !¦ ¥» :i§5 r\ / Tahseen Mohamed Basheer, Egypt's ambassador to Canada at B.U.not all problems come from OPEC.Quebec nationalism in crisis, Clift tells students By Stephen McDougall LENNOXVILLE - The present state of Quebec Nationalism is in crisis, according to Dominique Clift, a noted journalist on Quebec culture and political affairs.Clift predicts that in the coming 10 years, the present Parti Québécois will become markedly less nationalistic.Clift, who was at the Bishop’s University campus yesterday afternoon, to discuss his most recent book, Quebec Nationalism in Crisis, for the Champlain College-Bishop’s University speakers forum, said the inward-looking attitude of the traditional Quebec nationalist has only resulted in a closed society which has slowed any economic or social progress.He said more Quebecers are seeing this problem and are starting to look outward again at the world for solutions.“Some Quebecers have become claustrophobic and feel the ‘state of siege’ mentality of the national-ilist has closed off Quebec society to the rest of North America,” he outlined.Clift then qualified this theme by pointing out that Quebec society has always been split by the na- tionalist and anti-nationalist factions, each of which has been trying to get the upper hand and lead Quebec society as it sees fit.He said the anti-nationalists have always been outward looking and have emphasized personal achievement of the individual rather than collective protection the culture at whatever cost to the individual.Clift cited the example of the new Liberal government of Premier Jean Lesage in the early 60s, which he said was progressive and wanted Quebecers to better themselves through education and get away from the closed-in society that former premier Maurice Duplessis had built up over the previous 25 years.But Clift pointed out this same change in direction brought about an unprecedented amount of change, including a reduced birth rate, the result of a break by Quebec women with the traditional family, and a dramatic rise of Quebec’s present bureaucracy.He pointed out that the progressive changes brought about by the Liberals resulted not as much in an improvement of skills as it created a growing dependence on the new nation-state to provide thousands of civil service jobs for a new educated Quebec.Clift said the present decline of the Quebec government’s ability to create jobs in the civil service and its present cutback program along with growing pressures from the dominant North American business community is making Quebec people look outward again.He added that, because recent studies indicate that career-minded Quebecers can only climb up the business and professional ladder of success if they can speak English as well as French, bilingualism has a future.He would not say what form it would take.Responding to questions on the fate of the French language and Quebec culture faced with outside pressures, Clift said the nationalist and anti-nationalist approaches to Quebec society will have to strike a balance in the coming years to protect French culture while attempting to achieve social and economic stability via the North American way of life.“If they are too open to the rest of the world, they risk assimila-' tion, but if they close themselves off too much, then they fail as a society.” Townships talk RECORD/PERRY BEATON Dominique Clift.nationalism in crisis Council change means full-tilt Festival season Continued from page one telephone calls and coupons clipped from The Record had besieged local MPs and Canada Council staff.“The decision was based on the meeting last week,” Lysell said.“We showed them the revised budget, and they mentioned the number of people who had reacted and the newspaper articles they had been sent.” Lysell said he had not expected the strong public response to the turndown, first in the Festival’s 10-year history.“We were really pleased with the community reaction,” he said.“It overwhelmed us.” Last year the Festival suspended its entire 1981 season to balance up its shaky long-term financial position with a fund-raising campaign which raised *32,000, most of it from local sources.The federal and provincial governments each matched the total and the $90,000-plus long-term debt was cleared up.Festival Lennoxville had depended Uil v_,u nada Council grants to operate like other festivals, including the other two national ones — the Stratford Shakespearian Festival and the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-lake.At Lennoxville only Canadian-written plays are performed.Many observers found it ironic that the Council continued to fund Stratford and Niagara while it cut off Lennoxville.Both the Ontario companies are near the lucrative Toronto market, while Lennoxville is relatively isolated; yet each of the others receives more council dollars than Lennoxville ever asked for.Festival Lennoxville can now proceed with the confidence that it will be able to pay its debts — at least this year.This year’s season will offer a new twist with the introduction of French-language and bilingual plays as well as a full range of English-language productions.SHERBROOKE (CS) — Pierre Marois, minister in charge of the experimental program for the community job creation, and Sherbrooke MNA and Minister of Revenue, Raynald Frechette, are pleased to announce a $200,000 supplementary grant accorded to the Société Trans-Audio Limited of Sherbrooke.This grant is part of the Operation Solidarité Economique (OSE) started by the provincial government to contribute to job-creation in the fight against unemployment.RICHMOND (CS) — In this period of lease renewals, the aid and information center of the Tenants' Association of Richmond will be open on Wednesday, April 14 from6:30p.m.to8:30 p.m.It is normally open every Wednesday afternoon and is located in the Legal Aid office at 295 Principal St.South.Volunteers in charge will be available to help tenants and offer information, such as how to write to one’s landlord or submit a request to the rental board.Interested tenants should go to the assistance center to explain their particular situations.For further information call 826-3781.• LENNOXVILLE — For several years now, the teachers’ union at Champlain College - Lennoxville (SECCL), affiliated with the CEQ, has awarded a pair of scholarships to students who go on to fulltime post-collegiate studies in Quebec.We are pleased to announce that this year the Townshippers File amount of the awards has been increased substantially to $500 each.Any student at Champlain-Lennoxville who wishes to go on to post-collegiate studies is asked to contact the Student Aid Officer on the campus or the teachers’ union (SECCL) as soon as possible or Ian Rowe, N.Spencer, P.Lanthier, or J.Burnotte, at 563-6881.LENNOXVILLE — The Lennoxville and

Culturelles, now has regional offices in eight centres throughout the province.Gilles Durand, who heads the Sherbrooke office, is most anxious that the public take advantage of this valuable facility.The Sherbrooke archives have been established since 1979, but they are still growing and organizing, trying to bring together records previously found in scattered locations throughout the area.This is the archival centre for the Eastern Townships, although documents pertaining to some Townships areas may be found elsewhere.Thet-ford Mines, for example, is documented in Quebec City.A listing is now being prepared which will show at a glance where the historical documents for any town are located.It is hoped that this will be available at all branches of the National Archives by next summer.Durand sees the Archives’ task as two fold.First, to assure the preservation and accessibility of documents pertaining to our local history; and, second, to advise local groups with documents of their own to be preserved.Although many private donations of historic materials have been received, Durand stresses that the Archives have neither the space nor the staff required to care for every item which forms part of local history.He encourages municipalities to conserve their own documents.The Archives staff is always willing to give advice on the correct method for assessing, organizing and preserving such material.In addition to written documentation, the Archives has available quite a number of photographs, most of recent date.These include the collections of Sherbrooke photographers Jacques Darche and J.P.Boudrias.A special cabinet has been acquired for what Durand hopes will be a growing collection of maps and architectural plans.Over 4,000 old records of various Quebec artists, most dating from 1910 to the present have recently been received, many of them the old cylindrical records, and Durand would like to have them re-recorded on cas-ettes so that more use could be made of them.At present, a five-month project by the Société Généalogique des Cantons de l’Est is underway at the Archives.Sponsored by a provincial government grant, three researchers are sifting through the non-Catholic parish registers of the Townships.Beginning with Sherbrooke and gradually moving out into the smaller centres, they will copy each entry onto an index card, color-coded to indicated baptism, marriage or burial.The registers date from 1820 to 1880, and Durand estimates that they contain anywhere from 20,000 to 25,000 individual entries.The National Archives office is located at 740 Galt West in Sherbrooke, and is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.Members of the public are encouraged to make use of the resources for their own research, and a staff member can show the individual how to make the best use of what is available.In addition, the Archives staff will answer requests for information by mail.Copies of certain individual documents can be sent out, and simple questions dealt with, but Durand pointed out that he does not have the staff or the budget to carry out extensive research for the public.The facility is well worth a visit, and this is the best way to find the historical information for which you may be looking.The National Archives can be reached by phone at 566-2881.WINNERO ADULT FILM ASSOCIATION NEXT TO

Editorial The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Rolling funds and getting rolled Business, union and government leaders have just completed another Quebec-sponsored economic ‘summit’ that is guaranteed to turn out as pointless as all the others held in the last three or four years.Main purpose of the three-day conclave was to ‘promote understanding among the different sectors and try and find ways to stimulate the Quebec economy, which, like the rest of North America, is a job-destroying tail-spin, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the dark days of the 1930s.But the main result seems to have been to give Louis Laberge and his cohorts a chance to strut around in expensive three-piece suits and hob-nob with the private enterprise gang and the boys in government, while the union membership and other real people stayed at home to count the layoffs and their last few pennies.Liberal economic critic Reed Scowen hit the nail on the head when he said the conference was a “three-day vacation where we can all sit around and gab instead of working on the real problems that confront us.” Some interest was shown, they say, in a farfetched plan whereby the three groups, not exactly acclaimed for their ability to sleep in the same bed, would each chip in on a billion-dollar scheme to build houses.That’s a billion, with nine zeros.Talk about your Technicolor, these guys have the dreamboat patent! Where on earth will the supposed buyers of these houses get the money?These days you can’t even rob a gas station.Laberge told the summit workers could ‘collectively contribute $200 million (eight zeros) for capital rolling funds.’ If that is so, while they cry for higher pay, just exactly who is getting rolled?CHARLES BURY The Falkland Islands: From other papers.Sudbury Star: Politically, it is not a possibility for Margaret Thatcher’s government to sit quietly by and see the Falklands annexed by Argentina in this manner.Too many other little territories, notably in Central America and the Caribbean, still depend upon Britian for defence.To fail one would be an open invitation to invading forces in others.The long-suffering British people would for the most part rather forget the Empire upon which “the sun never set" and get on with coping with today’s problems, until something like this happens.It is not in their nature to see 2,000 islanders who depend on them for support suddenly-whisked into the fold of a posturing demagogue.Not even one with friends in Washington.London Free Press: On the Falkland Islands, .the generals are behaving as expected.Islanders are confined to their homes, under penalty of jail terms, Spanish is the official language, and vehicles are to drive on the right side of the road.That’s a little unnecessary, with all the residents required to be indoors.But then, Latin American generals aren't noted for rationality, even in military matters.The time lapse before British naval forces reach the Falkland Islands offers an opportunity to avoid military conflict.But hopes for a peaceful solution will remain remote as long as the Islanders are subject to the imposed rule of an outside dictatorship.Kitchener-Waterloo Record: Argentina is no archaic little duchy but a middle power the size of Canada with a vicious junta in so much political and economic trouble that it had to try something desperate to keep the restless people off its back Its (Britain's) government’s problem is that it is a recent superpower whose once majestic rule of the oceans is still so well remembered and popular that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher probably had no option but to send the fleet.London's and Argentina's best hope now seems to be that it will take the fleet about two weeks to make it to the Falklands.It will give a little time for something to show up before the shooting starts.The key to that "something’’ may well lie with their mutual triend, the United States.One can be sure tiled President Reagan didn't ask for this additional pain.But that, and his ability to twist an arm or two, is the price for being the biggest boy on the block, we suppose.Falklands only one of Britain’s remaining colonies By Frank Mackey LONDON (CP) After the Falklands, what next'.’ The Anglo-Argentine fray over the South Atlantic archipelago has raised (he level of apprehension over the future of some of Britain's 10 other overseas dependencies.What, for instance, lies in store for Hong Kong when Britain’s 09-year lease on the colony at China’s door runs out in 1997?That question was raised and left unanswered in a short feature on a television newscast last week as tension was building over the Falklands What about Gibraltar, the object of a standing claim by Spain ever since Britain took it over in 1704?The border between Gibraltar and Spain, closed by Gen Francisco Franco in 1969, is to be opened again April 20 under an agreement between Britain and Spain.The same day, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Pedro Perez Liorca and his British counterpart are scheduled to hold talks on the future of Gibraltar at Sintra in Portugal.The Spanish government w'as hoping that Lord Carrington would display the same personal talents in the solution of the Gibraltar problem as he did in the settlement of the thorny problem of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, in 1979 But Carrington resigned as foreign secretary Monday, a victim of the Falklands crisis.Perceiving similarities between the Gibraltar and Falklands questions — for instance.Britain's insistence on respecting the wishes of the inhabitants as to their allegiance Spain has watched the South Atlantic conflict with interest.Right-wing extremists in Spain have rejoiced at Britain's loss.Moderates have deplored Argentina's methods of taking over the Falklands by force of arms, but have shown some satisfaction with what they consider an advance in the "decolonization process." The independent Madrid daily newspaper El Pais has cautioned that those who may see Spain’s claim to Gibraltar advanced by ihe Falklands events may wake up to find that under pressure from a fired up public opinion back home, British diplomats may show renewed inflexibility in the talks scheduled for latir this month.EASES SITUATION Spain's imminent entry into NATO and the modern military situation make Britain's hold on the rock less crucial than in the past.By the same token Morocco, across the narrow straits from Gibraltar, holds that if Spain regains Gibraltar, it would be inconceivable for Spain to retain its outposts ol Ceuta and Melilla on Moroccan territory.One other concern raised here — it came up in the House of Lords March 30 when Carrington was still describing the Falklands situation as “potentially dangerous" is the fear that the Falklands crisis could alter the whole peaceful picture in Antarctica.A total of 21 countries are signatories to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, running for 30 years, which stipulates that the area south of 60-degree south latitude is international territory.Various countries maintain about 100 research stations there.But beneath the calm of the treaty lie competing claims to wedges of the Antarctic pie.Australia.Britain.France.New Zealand and Norway recognize each other’s claim.The United States and the U.S.S.R.have "reserved their rights,” making no claims of their own but rejecting everyone else’s.The British Antarctic territory includes all the land and islands between 20 degrees and 80 degrees longitude west and south of the 60th parallel south — a total of 1.5 million square kilometres.Argentina claims most of the same area — everything between 25 and 74 degrees longitude west.A Chilean claim also overlaps Britain’s.Development of fisheries and increasing interest in suspected oil and mineral wealth in the area have changed the picture since the treaty was signed — the commercial value of the Antarctic was then judged negligible.The trouble in the Falklands, one of the main jumping off points for points south, could tear the lid off conflicts kept in abeyance.©1982 by NEA, Inc.I2C “This one is either ‘Unemployment’ or ‘Herpes.’ I don’t have my glasses.” John Paul IPs U.K.visit: From balloons to beermugs By Robert Glass LONDON (AP) — The Roman Catholic Church in Britain has joined forces with U.S.entrepreneur Mark McCormack to market 250 different souvenirs for the upcoming visit of Pope John Paul — the first time church officials have used souvenir sales to help pay for a papal tour.With the Pope’s six-day visit starting May 28 expected to cost $10.8 million U.S., the British Catholic hierarchy hired McCormack to market papal mementos and provide business expertise.The souvenirs will range in price from a 45-cent U.S.plastic bag to a $2,250 U.S.platinum medallion.McCormack’s Cleveland-based International Management Group, whose clients include tennis ace Bjorn Borg, golfer Arnold Palmer and boxer Muhammad AM, stands to make $2 million from the deal, said The Observer newspaper.Richard Crow, an IMG executive in London, would not disclose how much the company expects to make from the souvenir sales but said it was “looking reasonably healthy,” The church, however, probably will not recoup the tour costs from sales and will have to make up the difference through private donations, Crow said, TALKS UNDERWAY Because the tour is a pastoral visit and not an official state visit, the British government isn’t paing any of the costs.However, Rev.Kevin O’Connell said taxpayers in cities where the Pope will appear “may have to” bear some of the costs.He said discussions were already under way with the various municipalities involved.The main expenses will be setting up and dismantling five large altars to be used for masses expected to draw at least 500,000 people each.The church will have to provide on-site security, catering and facilities for the media.IMG has contracts with 63 companies to manufacture souvenirs.On display near Crow’s office is a sample — balloons, sweatshirts, neckties, coasters, mugs, badges, clocks and rosary beads.There is a also a brick, costing $6.50, with the inscription.“to commemorate the visit of Pope John Paul II to Great Britain, 1982.” Other items include a $1,080 gold bust of the Pope, a $1,800 gold pocket watch and the $2,250 platinum medallion struck by the Royal Mint, bearing the image of the pontiff and the Queen.They all bear the official tour logo — a cross and Union Jack embellished by the keys of St.Peter.Manitoba’s last French-speaking generation?WINNIPEG (CP) For Georges Beaudry, the future of French in Western Canada isn't an abstract question.It’s a family matter Take his four year-old daughter, Michelle.Her first language is French the language of the Beaudry home.The little girl is learning English — but, Beaudry notes, it’s mainly from TV, not from her francophone parents.“Maybe this will be one of the last generations that will be speaking French in the west,” says Beaudry, whose family has been in Manitoba since the 19th century.“But if it is, it will be my fault.” Michelle's French environment recalls the childhood experience of her 30-year-old father, now an audio technician for CBWFT, the French-language CBC channel in Winnipeg Beaudry, whose family roots go back to 17th century Quebec, was born in Manitoba and says he didn't know a word of English before he started school.His father and mother were bilingual but only French was spoken at home, not because of any parental decree but "it just happened that way."During play, it was mostly French.But when you went to school, there was no way out You had to learn English It was like English immersion.” FORBADE FRENCH Beaudry, who has four brothers and sisters, can recall a school system that forbade instruction in French.English was the only language of instruction allowed in Manitoba schools until the law was changed in early 1970s.Like previous generatioas of Franco-Manitobans, Beaudry would hide his French books and switch to English whenever the school inspector paid a visit.French-speaking school children in Manitoba today don't need to use any such subterfuge.Although some schools have all-French programs and others have a mixture of French and English, the fight for French isn't over."I don't think it's a battle like is fought in Quebec, where the lines are really drawn," Beaudry said "Here we are immersed in a sea of cultures.” Michelle's 65-year-old grandfather, Victor Beaudry, takes a laissez-faire attitude to French."I never did give a damn what the next guy says," said the retired Winnipeg Traasit employee.‘ I've never tried to tell a guy.‘Well, I'm French and I'm speaking French and if you want to speak to me, well you speak French.' "I might be wrong — l don’t know and I don't care but my point of view is that this is still a democratic country."I would say that if you still speak the one tongue, I think it's ignorance because I think everybody should realize that you’re in a country here in Canada where you cannot get around if you only speak the one language.” Victor's daughter, Lucienne, says her parents come from a generation “where they suffered for being French They are more apt to bend if there’s an English-speaking person in the room." Lucienne says when she was a girl, St.Catherine’s Day — Nov.25 — was the traditional day for making toffee, The custom has been revived but now, instead of a family home, the setting is the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain in the St.Boniface area of Winnipeg "This had become kind of forgotten, you know.Now we’re going back to this tradition and it’s catching on like crazy."When we organized St Catherine's Day at the Cultural Centre, we thought maybe 150 people would come.There were 500 people there all families with little kids."People are going back to the things that we’ve missed,” said Lucienne, who like her husband, Lucien Loiselle, is an administrator at St.Boniface College.She sees how language confusions can affect bilingual young people, who slip from English to French in the same sentence.She says adolescents in rebellion may use English, which they coasider the language of TV and rock and roll.But by the time they are in Grade 12 they have decided on their language identity, whether French or English Lucien said the desire to revive the best in French-Canadian culture is not a retreat into nostalgia.At family sing-songs, contemporary Quebec tunes are at least as popular as the traditional songs of the early voyageur He said Franco-Manitobans have to be constantly on guard to maintain their identity in a province where they constitute only about five per cent of the population."Language carries with it a whole set of traditions and cultural expressions and it is tough in this day and age to get them across to a generation which is not necessarily living as it was done traditionally in our generation.” s.V The RECORD—Thursday, April 8,1982—5 Business 1____ftgf IFBCPm Auto industry workers worry jobless towns may never be the same TORONTO (CP) — While Canadians everywhere fret over the length of the current economic recession, southwestern Ontario worries whether the auto industry will ever again be the same.Auto assembly in Ontario is concentrated in Windsor in the west and Oshawa on the east, but in between is a SASKATOON ( CP ) — A decision two years ago to link 50 Saskatchewan communities with a broadband communications network was credited for the recent opening this week of Canada’s first manufacturing facility for fibre-optics.The $14-million Saskatoon plant will serve as headquarters for Northern Telecom Canada Ltd.’s fibre-optics business, which the company hopes will become an international concern by next year.Two years ago Northern Telecom secured a contract with Saskatchewan Telecommunications, a provincial Crown corporation, to link the communities with a 3,200-kilometre fibre-optics network, the longest in the world.The network will upgrade the rural telephone system and bring cable television to rural communities.The $22-million contract “provided the essential commercial foundation on which we are building the industry in make everything from car wheels to brake assemblies.The auto industry now accounts for 40 to80 per cent of the manufacturing jobs in Windsor, Chatham, Kitchener, St.Catharines and Oakville, says Robert White, Canadian director of the United Auto Workers.But the industry’s future looks grim, says Glenn MacDonald, assistant Canada and internationally,” company president Basil Beneteau said at the plant’s opening ceremony Wednesday.The facility’s 283 employees took the time off work to attend the ceremony, which included an appearance by Premier Allan Blakeney.The province is into the first week of a campaign leading to a general election April 26.The first major link in the Saskatchewan network, from Regina to Yorkton, a distance of about 200 kilometres, was completed in January.Other communities would have already been hooked into the network but for a world-wide shortage of raw material — the special sand needed to make the glass — which slowed production of the fibre.The flat Saskatchewan terrain lends itself almost perfectly to the new system, except for one hazard peculiar to the Prairies: SaskTel had to spend thousands of dollars to make the underground fibre cables “gopher-proof,’ professor of economics at the University of Western Ontario.“It's unfortunately pretty clear that cities like Chatham and Oshawa are never going to be the same again,” says MacDonald.“What’s going to follow is some relocation.That’s what bound to happen." Recent unemployment statistics indicate a trend that might be hard to since the rodents have a habit of gnawing on anything in the ground.Northern Telecom has installed 35 similar fibre-optic systems in seven Canadian provinces.“We have sold about 20 million metres of fibre, about 30 per cent to SaskTel,” Beneteau said.“We plan to move into the United States and offshore markets in 1982-83.” The ability of a fibre-optic system to carry spectacular amounts of information gives it a distinct advantage over the more conventional copper cables used in the communications field, permitting the simultaneous transmission of telephone calls, data and television signals.Northern Telecom Canada is a subsidiary of Northern Telecom Ltd., the second largest telecommunications manufacturer in North America.It employs more than 35,000 people in Canada, the U.S., England, Ireland, Malaysia and Brazil.reverse.Unemployment rates in southwestern Ontario are well above the national average January’s unemployment rate in St.Catharines was 15.6 per cent, in Kitchener-Waterloo it was 10.1 per cent, 10.2 percent in Windsor Statistics Canada figures show the rate was between 10 and 12 per cent in regions outside the larger centres.Dick Charlton, president of the Chatham local of the United Auto Workers, which has 1,800 members on indefinite layoff, agrees with Macdonald’s predictions for the future.“This city won’t be the same again,” Charlton says, adding that imported autos have won too much of the market to roll back the clock.Patrick Lavelle, president of the auto parts producers association, said at issue is the very survival of the Canadian auto industry.He says 38-percent of the workforce is laid off.MacDonald says Canadians should face the fact that foreign competition means the North American auto industry will never again be as dominant as it once was.“If somebody else can make it cheaper than we can, then should we do something else that we are good at?” As Ottawa negotiates a new agreement with Japan to voluntarily limit imports, pressure builds to protect the Canadian auto industry with tariffs.MOVE POINTLESS But that is pointless, says MacDonald because tariffs would only interfere with Canada’s export trade.Nobody can answer what could replace the auto parts industry as the big employer throughout Ontario’s industrial heartland.Stephan Kaliski, an economics professor at Queen’s University, says there really is no Ontario auto industry — only a North American one Much of what happens to the auto industry is out of the province’s hands.In Kitchener, the giant auto parts maker Budd Canada Inc.is operating at 50-per-cent capacity for the second consecutive year.It employs 1,000 today, compared with 3,000 in 1978 Of 1,200 companies supplying the auto industry with parts in Canada, almost 1,000 are in the Oshawa-Windsor corridor They are usually found in smaller cities, such as Woodstock or Chatham.In addition to 117,000 jobs in the auto parts industry, official sources say there is a spinoff effect that can be linked to 600,000 jobs in Canada.Hal Norton, a supervisor at the Chatham employment centre, says most jobless factory workers have little chance unless they’re skilled.Relocation is an option the employment centre is advising people to consider more often these days.“Our position is you have to make people aware of the options they have,” Norton says.In the last two years, Chatham’s population has dropped almost 700 to 40,256.Charlton says he’s losing count of the number of his UAW members going west.Some have returned after things didn’t work out, but he expects the exodus to continue, possibly for several years Paul Plant, Woodstock’s industrial commissioner, says the decline of the auto industry is not the only problem.Traditional factory jobs in Canada are being replaced by machines and offshore labor part of what the economists call Canada’s deindustrializing process.Plant says he has noticed in recent years that when existing factories in his city are spruced up or expanded by their owners, very few jobs materialize.“There has been a fair amount going on and there aren’t many new jobs,” he says.“We’re not labor intensive anymore.” Not too long ago, Plant says, Woodstock, which boasts a General Motors parts distribution centre and a wide range of auto parts manufacturing, was eager to attract more GM facilities.Today politicians in the area are growing reluctant to be even more dependent on the auto industry, he says.Almost 120 hectares of industrial land GM purchased several years ago for future expansion sits empty in the south side of the city.“I think 1 would have to take a close look at how co-operative we would be today,” Plant says.The Ontario government has introduced its BILD program — Board of Industrial Leadership and Development — and so far it has announced location of a $25-million auto research centre in St.Catharines and a $14-million food processing research centre in Chatham.Both are a help to two of the province’s hardest-hit centres, but are far from a permanent answer.Ontario’s future remains unclear.Wendy Calder, Woodstock’s mayor, “I notice people are angrier than they used to be.” corridor of small towns and cities that Saskatchewan fibre-optics network to be world’s longest Why energy costs seem to go up so fast Energy costs in Canada may have been climbing steadily, as you've noted almost every time you gas up your car or pay your home-heating bill.At the same time, international energy prices have been easing off.The reason, of course, is that Canadian energy prices w'ere held artificially low after 1972, when the international oil-éxporting cartel OPEC first started to raise prices.The federal government decided Canada could not stand the shock of the sudden price increases, and so it subsidized imports that were running at 450,000 barrels a day.The cost was picked up by taxpayers, who kicked in about $4 billion a year to cover the subsidy, but now all Canadians are starting to pay it directly as prices rise following Ottawa’s pricing agreements with the major oil-producing provinces.Meanwhile, most other countries have made the economic adjustment to their higher energy costs and, while it was a shock, it is at least behind them.For Canada, the guarantees of rising prices to come means that economic problems lie ahead.It’s going to mean continued high inflation for several years.And that, economists say, means interest rates are going to stay high too.The reason for the prediction of high inflation for years is simple Higher energy costs will add to the costs of everything.They will add to the costs of farmers raising crops, because tractors will be more expensive to run.Truckers rftovihg goods will have to charge more, and prices from factories will be up because owners have to compensate for the fact their energy costs are up.WANT RETURN If the inflation rate stays high, interest rates will, too, because people who have money to lend will want enough back in interest to give them a real profit.Changes in the economy because of the energy situation were discussed by Rhys Eyton, president of Pacific Western Airlines Ltd.at a marketing seminar sponsored by the Conference Board of Canada.He said he anticipates that federal-provincial energy pricing agreements will result in Pacific Western’s fuel costs rising 83 per cent during the next three years — to $110 million from $60 million.As to what that might mean to air fares, Eyton said the Vancouver-Calgary flight —- now $103 on his airline — will climb to $160 in 1986 just to cover fuel costs.“These increases do not include any other escalating operating costs, nor do they include any provision for profit.” Eyton told the board there are other developments from rising energy costs.WANT SERVICE Higher prices for consumers have led to demands for greater quality and longer service.‘‘Buyers are becoming more discriminating, heeding the advice of experts who say they should exercise extreme care when selecting products.“Consumers are prepared to pay a little extra for a product that is warranted to be defect-free or at least repairable at little or no charge for a longer period of time.” He expects that energy costs will produce smaller, less-comfortable cars, a lower speed limit and so less travel.“This will lead to a still-greater emphasis being placed on the amount spent on public mass transit in the Wheel Chairs, Ordinary, Electric Orthopedic Corsets

rd [M Crutches & Canes Women's Protheses future.” Industries which can capitalize on alternate energy sources will be the glamor ones of the next two decades, he suggests.Solar power is the ultimate energy source when it can be developed.The potential energy from the sun is 18,000 times the current total world demand.Make allowance for the fact that 75 per cent of the sun’s energy hits the oceans, and so is lost, and 90 per cent of what hits land may not be able to be collected.That still leaves 450 times the world's energy demands available from the sun.It will take time and money — especially money — to develop this resource.The question is whether the planning is r?T) .?T'£2TàT5ï*5D' RAT5!

sun, to apathetic grey Stretching by the roadside - stacked in dirty piles Outside our door - beside each path along the way.The sun, lifting lazy lids, peeps through ragged clouds Strikes slumbering flowerbeds along protective walls, There, hidden bulbs in earthy beds, stretch forth eager fingers In search of light, as Mother Nature calls.Before our winter-weary eyes, there thrusts new growth Of waxy crocus.yellow, mauve and white, And daffodils nod briskly at starry hyacipths, In air so fragrance-filled, ’tis pure delight.Tender shoots of grass, beside a gushing stream Emerald-green and vibrant, beside sparkling waters bright A whole new world unfolds, in luxuriant array; We thank the One who gave us this magnificent sight.Now, dainty garments with frothy lace, adorn the trees Freshly-laundered by sweet and quenching rains Quickly-dried by Spring's own soft, fragrant breeze The “Change of Seasons” is fulfilled again.MARGE MONTGOMERY Melbourne April 1982 ¦4 United Church

that’s doing something extra for us, the way Petro-Canada does.Think of it this way.Petro-Canada is our national oil company.It was set up to help make us independent in oil and gas.To do that, all money generated from the company’s business is invested back into the search for new sources of energy.Already you can see the results of that work.Petro-Canada participated in two-thirds of the wells Mmmm wmm u It makes sense to me?drilled off the east coast and in the Arctic since it started business in 1978.They’re one of the most active companies in the oil sands and heavy oil projects, a growing new source of Canadian energy.And that’s not all.It’s active in oil and gas exploration and production in the west and in refining and marketing all across Canada.Every time we drive in to our neighbourhood Petro-Canada station, we’re contributing to that work.Our business at the pumps helps Petro-Canada get on with the business of looking for the oil and gas we need.It’s worth thinking about.PETROCANADA It’s ours!
