Variable Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Tuesday, September?, 1982 30 cents Terrorists release women as Swiss team talks BERN (AP) — Armed terrorists who are threatening to blow up the Polish Embassy in Switzerland released two elderly female hostages today, leaving nine people captive.The terrorists, calling themselves The Polish Revolutionary Home Army, are demanding the military authorities in Poland lift martial law, release political prisoners, and end repression.They seized the embassy Monday morning and set a 48-hour deadline for meeting their demands.A 24-member Swiss crisis management talked by telephone with the terrorists through the night and into the day today, said Ulrich Hubacher, a spokesman for the Federal Justice and Police Ministry, who described the takeover as “an act of terrorism.” Late Monday night, the terrorists released a pregnant woman from among the hostages.The woman, identified by Poles in Bern as Malgorzata Luczak, a clerk-typist at the embassy, was taken to hospital for treatment for shock.The release of the two women today left nine captives in the white stucco building in the middle of Bern’s diplomatic district, said Hubacher.The latest freed hostages were identified only as embassy employees.WANT LIVES SAVED “The Swiss government is committed to ending this siege as soon as possible and saving the lives of the hostages,” he said.The spokesman refused to say what tactics might be used against the terrorists.Police have agreed to bring food and water to the door of the embassy building, he said.This morning, a doctor was permitted into the embassy to treat a hostage with hypertension, Hubacher said.Hubacher scoffed at reports that the Swiss have received permission from Warsaw to storm the embassy, describing the claims as “pure interpretation of (Monday’s) communique” from the martial-law regime urging Bern to “ensure the security” of Polish diplomats.The communique, carried by the official Polish news agency PAP, said: “The Swiss ambassador in Warsaw has promised in the face of this act of terrorism, the authorities of his country will take all indispensable measures to restore normal working conditions to the embassy and the security of its staff.” Last Townships Via train cutback victim By Steve McDougall ABOARD THE VIA TRAIN — The sign on the train said, “See Canada up close.by train” but for many people from the Eastern Townships, this was their last chance to see anything by train for a little while.The last passenger train run by Via from Sherbrooke to Montreal and back had its run Monday night and became another victim of the federal government’s passenger service cutbacks starting a year ago.“We won’t see Canada up close at all now,” said Myroslaw Smereka, an economist with the Eastern Townships regional development council (CRD).“There is no more truth in what they say.” The service has been discontinued because Transport Canada says it runs up an annual deficit of $1 million per year and has few passengers coming from Sherbrooke.But that wasn’t the opinion of many of the passengers on board last night's train coming back to Sherbrooke.On board, besides a normal passenger load of over 40 people, were several journalists from the Gazette, CBC and various French-language media.Also on board was Peter Blaikie, pre-sident of the federal Progressive Conservative party, a former Township resident from Lennoxville now living in Montreal, as well as local train advocates from the Townships such as Richmond mayor Andre Lupien and Roch Fortin from the CRD.“Sherbrooke is the fourth largest city in Quebec,” Blaikie told reporters, “It is a tragedy to see this train go.” Fortin said his council and the mayors have just begun to fight.“Now we must keep Transport Canada officials busy with our letters and visits of protest.The closer we can get to Pepin the better,” he said.Fortin said the train could likely return within two or three years, once the government has established the popularity of trains along the more travelled routes along urban corridors.“We can convince him then that an experimental passenger train can be viable.” Mayor Lupien agreed with the strategy: “More and more, there will be a need for train services, with the price of gas going up all the time,” he said.He added he has been getting calls from local residents who he says are “feeling the pinch” when they realize they have only a slow bus service from now on.“Winter is coming soon and all they will have now is a bus from Richmond.That’s not a sure thing,” he said.Added Smereka: “Even Voyageur has been feeling the pinch.They have been unable to buy new buses these past few years, he ciaimed.“New buses cost around $250,000 up from $150,000 some years ago.That and the price of gas could put them under.Then where would we be?” Other people on the train, after getting over the camera lights and media fuss, were sympathetic to the cause of saving the train.Even the conductor spoke out.“T retired when I found out the train was coming off for sure,” said chief conductor Roland Marcouiller, who made his last run with Via last night.He agreed with the general opinion of the critics that the train would have been more popular if it had been given a later departure time and better services.“This is the only train in and out of Montreal with no snack bar service.People in Sherbrooke who have to board at 6:30 a.m.have been asking for something to eat,” hesaid.Other passengers on board showed some bitterness about the cancellation and some who were taking their first ride on the route were surprised at hearing the news.Georges Turpin, from Montreal, a newly-registered University of Sherbrooke student who took the train down because it was “one buck cheaper than the bus” was somewhat shocked when informed of the cancellation.He also didn’t like the fact the bus service has had two lengthy strikes in the past three years.“Try and buy a car when you are a student,” the computer system student said.“If there is a strike, I’ll have to tell my mother I won’t be seeing her for a while.” Another U of S student, France Bour-dages, also of Montreal, who takes the train frequently on weekends, said many students will be in trouble and cut off from the rest of Quebec.“They (the federal government) never asked us about this issue,” she said, “I guess I’m going to have to See BUS Page 3 RE COR Dy PL R R Y BEATON 4 small, sad crowd gathered at Richmond station through the Eastern Townships.Monday night as the last passenger train rolled Trudeau calls for unity at IMF TORONTO (CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau opened a 146-country conference Monday with a call for unity in trying to solve international economic problems but the prospect of a united approach quickly faded.Trudeau and other speakers at the opening session of the four-day annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank called for a substantial increase in contributions to the fund’s lending pool, which helps countries falling into financial crises.But Treasury Secretary Donald Regan of the United States, largest contributor to the fund, said the U.S.cannot provide the financial help it has in the past.“In previous times of prosperity we could be more generous,” he said.“We’re cutting back in every sphere with the possible exception of defence.” Regan said there should be an increase in the size of the lending poolbut declined to set a figure.Recommendations by other countries range from 50 to 100 per cent.In private meetings, U.S.delegates said the increase should be no higher than 25 per cent.“We want to find out what is needed and what is apropriate and not just pluck figures out of the air,” Regan said.Trudeau described the world economic situation as the worst since the IMF and the World Bank were set up in 1944.“We cannot afford international financial crises,” he said.World Bank President A M.Clausen said poor countries in Asia and Africa w'ill be condemned to permanent poverty unless they receive adequate aid from the industrialized world.MUST CURB SPENDING Regan acknowledged that “the rapid growth of international debt has placed strains on the world banking system” but said any help countries receive from the IMF will depend on their willingness to take strong steps toward curbing their spending and debts.Labor Day marked by hopelessness Labor Day parades in Toronto and Windsor, Ont., on Monday drew thousands of marchers, but in Sudbury, Ont., where at least 15,000 people are unemployed, only 300 attended a union-sponsored rally.The three demonstrations were the only major ones across the country, as most Canadians relaxed on the final long weekend before fall.“The turnout today is an indication of how much hopelessness and frustration has overtaken this city,” said Dave Patterson, Ontario director of the United Steelworkers of America, who spoke at the Survival Sudbury rally.The crowd marched through Sudbury’s core to the post office, where letters were mailed to both Ottawa and Queen’s Park demanding jobs.But those in attendance couldn’t be stirred into singing union songs, cheering or banner-waving.“It was the same way in the Depression in the ’30s,” said Elmer McVey, president of the Sudbury Labor Council.“People had no enthusiasm because they felt there was just nothing they could do.” In July, Canada’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate hit a record 11.8 per cent, or 1.386 million people.In Sudbury, the official unemployment rate is about 21 per cent, highest of any metropolitan area in Canada.Sudbury is in the midst of lengthy summer shutdowns at Inco Ltd.and Falconbridge Ltd., the region’s major employers The firms have announced plans to lay off more than 1,000 workers each early next year.ATTACKS TRUDEAU In Windsor, more than 5,000 angry workers and their families heard federal New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broadbent deliver a scathing attack against Prime Minister Trudeau’s government.“The economy is not just an international problem,” he said.“The real failure in Canada is the failure of the Liberal leadership.” Single-digit

his suit in the process — Whelan watched the livestock parade from the relative safety and shelter of the grandstand stage.He then addressed a soggy but patient audience briefly before holding an informal press conference.“For nearly two centuries fairs have been a social institution in rural Canada,” he said.“They areas much a part of rural life as hockey, curling, tur key suppers and the annual fall harvest.” Whelan told the crowd the first fair in North America was held in Windsor, Nova Scotia," in 1765.“First prize prize for the best cow was a butter churn,” he said “The exhibitor of the best sheep won a pair of shears and the first prize in the horse competition was a whip and spurs.” “Agriculture has come a long way since 1765,” he said.“But the make-up of rural fairs has changed very little.They have always served social, recreational, and educational purposes with the main emphasis on agricul ture.” Whelan said Agriculture Canada spent $2.2 million on fairs in Canada in 1981-82.He said Brome Fair's share was $17,900.“This region is known throughout the province as an excellent dairy and apple-producing area,” he said.Whelan also urged the crowd to join in the

Congress adopted a new constitution Monday that bans one-man rule, and heard warnings that there will be trouble unless reliable successors are found for aging leaders.The 1,600 delegates also approved the work report of Chairman Hu Yaobang, which called for continued modernization and a purge of party members opposed to reform.Delegates were shown on television raising their hands in approval.Foreign reporters are banned from the Congress sessions and must rely on reports from the official Xinhua news agency.Congress leaders or television broadcasts.The delegates now are to begin selecting a new Central Committee, expected to include many younger members, and also will elect a newly-created body of party elders — the Central Advisory Commission.Another new agency will be the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, expected to oversee the expulsion of ultra-left party members.The new constitution drops the post of chairman, long associated with the late Mao Tse-tung and his one-man rule.The party will be headed by a general secretary, and the new Central Committee is expected to elect Hu to that job, He has held both posts of chairman and general secretary.“No leaders are allowed to practice arbitrary individual rule or place themselves above the party organization.” said one constitutional excerpt carried by Xinhua.BARS DECISIONS The constitution also bars any party member from deciding major issues by himself, rules out life-long tenure and requires leaders to “combat all acts of abusing power an ) seeking personal gain.” Current party leaders say it was Mao’s one-man rule that led him to serious mistakes in the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, with its purges and civil strife.Mao died in 1976, and excesses of that revolution have been specifically blamed on the radical so-called Gang of Four, led by Mao’s widow, Jiang Qing.She was convicted of “persecuting to death” thousands of people during the Cultural Revolution and was sentenced to death.But Hu said last week the sentence would be reviewed early next year and he doubted she would be executed.The warning to the Congress that reliable young successors must be promoted quickly came from 77-year-old Vice-Chairman Chen Yun.“The ranks of our party’s cadres have long faced the problem of aging to varying degrees, and a gap between the old and the young,” he said in a report.“Unless this problem is solved now, and satisfactorily, the cause of communism may suffer a setback in China.” Chen said tens of thousands of young and middle-aged officials must be promoted.NEED PROMOTION “Only thus will we have a greater choice and find truly reliable successors; and only thus will it be possible to prevent the troublemakers who were promoted to leading posts during the Cultural Revolution from stirring up any serious disturbances in the future,” he added.The constitution and committee elections are seen as part of the efforts by 78-year-old Deng Xiaoping to place his people and policies in position while he is still active.He emerged as the country’s top leader after Mao’s death.Deng will lose his vice-chairman's post in the reorganization, but is expected to be on the new Central Advisory Commission.V \ 2—The RECOUD—Tuesday.September 7, i!)N2 Quick marriage, speedy divorce net students larger Quebec loans MONTREAL (CP) - Some students at Quebec junior colleges are getting married just to qualify for loans, say school officials.Some don’t live together and in several cases marriage plans include the option of a speedy divorce.Jean Vinet, financial aid officer at Cegep du Vieux Montreal, said 18 people applying for student loans at his college married just to meet provincial criteria and several students have asked if they have time to marry before the Sept.30 deadline for loan applications.At Cegep St.Laurent, student counsellor Francine Provost said at least six couples who married during the summer admitted doing so just to get provincial money Quebec gives loans and bursaries only to independent students or those who can prove their parents are unable to finance their education.An independent student is one who is married or divorced, has a child or an undergraduate degree, or has been working full-time for two years.The maximum student loan is $1,120.But independent students usually qualify for an additional bursary of between $500 and $2,500 that doesn’t have to be repaid.Joanne Muzzo, president of a provincewide students’ group, l’Association nationale des etudiants et étudiantes du Quebec, said the organization has an information campaign under way telling students that marriage is sometimes the only way to qualify for a student loan.STARTED IN 1981 The campaign started in the fall of 1981 as a protest against what was called outdated loan and bursary criteria.Many students who have left home and are on their own are still considered dependent on their families.Muzzo admitted that the campaign, especially a brochure written by law students explaining how to arrange a civil marriage in Quebec, has probably encouraged couples to marry.Some of the couples had intended to get married but did so earlier than they wanted, she said, adding that they were students "who would have had to give up their studies.” Vinet and Provost said the association brochure doesn’t include enough information on the possible consequences of marriages of convenience.Vinet said most of the marriage won’t last more than a year and th costs of divorces are borne by ta) payers who pay for the legal aid sei vices that students use.Another possible result, he added, is provincial investigation that could stri many married students of thei eligibility for financial aid.Muzzo said the association plans t organize a provincial student assembl and meetings with education officials t discuss loan and bursary criteria.Hero’s quick action saves child pinned PERTH, Ont.(CP) — Everything happened so fast that Ken Carson of nearby Otty Lake barely had time to think.He was lining up to watch the Perth Fair Parade Friday evening when suddenly a little girl was being dragged by a runaway car, pinned in her stroller beneath one of the vehicle’s wheels.The 30-year-old father of three ran into the street, forced the car to an abrupt halt, grabbed the bleeding child and raced her in his car to a Perth hospital.Within 45 minutes she was rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa.On Monday night, she was in fair and improving condition in the intensive care unit.Medical staff say Carson’s bravery and fast action saved four-year-old Amy Nighbor’s life.The child’s femoral artery has been ruptured and she would have bled to under car death if Carson hadn’t acted quickly and rushed her to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance, said Dr.Ross McLean.The runaway car had plowed through a crowd of parade spectators, injuring seven people including Amy, her parents Bruce, 31, and Darlene, 29, and her brother Craig, 1.The rest of the family, from nearby Smiths Falls, was treated for minor injuries and released.Seven-year-old Stephen Buchanan of Perth was also seriously injured but was in good condition Monday in the Children’s Hospital.Stephen’s mother Anne, 32, and Ruth Saunders, 60, a passenger in the runaway car, were treated in hospital and released.Driver Ernie Wallace Rogers, 60, of Perth has been charged with criminal negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle, impaired driving and failing to yield to oncoming traffic.Work bee rids house of urea formaldehyde foam CHATEAUGUAY, Que.(CP) — About 20 families in this Montreal suburb pitched in on the weekend during an old fashioned bee to cure a modern problem — ridding a home of banned urea formaldehyde insulating foam.This week the Daigneault home will be scrubbed out with steel wool and two coats of sodium bisulfite will be applied to decontaminate the wood and reinsulate the building."After that we just have to keep our fingers crossed,” Jocelyne Lemoyne, one of the bee organizers, said., She was up on a scaffold.Her husband and two children were busy down below.The Lemoyne house got the treatment a while ago."At our place it wasn’t really a bee even if we had a lot of help,” she said.“The first real bee was today and I hope the movement will catch on across the country.” The committee she belongs to plans to organize other local bees.There are 130 local families in homes insulated with urea-formaldehyde.Of these, 27 have health problems and seven are physically and financially unable to remove the foam from their walls.It is for the latter that the bees will be organized.CASE URGENT The Daigneaults’ case, for example, was urgent.Normand Daigneault was hurt in a work accident.Early this summer his wife Monique had two operations for tumors on her vocal cords and the two boys — Mario, 13, and Gaétan, 9 — suffered from fainting spells and nosebleeds before the family moved into a tent behind the house early in May.They were still in the tent last week and getting a little worried as autumn drew near.Other religions outmoded Baha’i conference told MONTREAL (CP) - Baha’i is the only way to the truth, the Montreal-born woman who heads the faith assured some 8,000 believers at the closing session this weekend of an international conference proclaimed as the largest in the 129-year history of the religion.“Christianity and the other religions are outmoded,” said Ruhiyyih Rab-bani, who was born Mary Maxwell and Weather Becoming sunny today.High, 16, low tonight, 2, with a risk of frost.Wednesday sunny with cloudy periods, high, 18.is the widow of the grandson of Baha’i’s founder.“(The other religions) have had plenty of time to prove themselves and they haven’t succeeded,” said Rabbani, head of the faith’s nine-member governing council based in Haifa, Israel.“Christians and Buddhists are divided into different factions.Only within the Baha’i religion can we achieve a renewal of truth.” Baha’i, founded in 1853 in Iran (then Persia) by the prophet Baha’u’llah, has 3 million members worldwide, including some 20,000 in Canada.The faith’s main tenets are love, tolerance, world peace and equality of the sexes.Baha’is believe that like their own founder, prophets of other religions — Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Zoroaster, Mohammed, Buddha and Krishna — were all divinely inspired by the one God.flnmiSwl itecora George MacLaren, Publisher .569 9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569 6345 Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager .569 9525 Mark Guillette, Press Superintendent

(CP) — Western central bankers have suspended emergency cash aid to Mexico to put pressure on it to agree to a tough new economic program, senior monetary officials said Monday.The decision by the bankers, members of the Bank for International Settlements, has been taken amid mounting concern about political upheaval in Mexico due to the economic crisis, they said.Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo stunned international bankers last week by announcing the nationalization of Mexican private banks.Mexico is negotiating with the International Monetary Fund for a $4.5-billion loan as the key to rescheduling the rest of its $80-billion debt.But the IMF is insisting on a severe austerity program to stabilize the Mexican economy before agreeing to the loan.Trudeau needs invitation, too TORONTO (CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau made an appearance Sunday night at a lavish opening reception for International Monetary Fund delegates which featured such delicacies as fresh raw oysters, prawns and crab and Western beef.Clad in a white, summer-weight suit adorned by a red rose, Trudeau briefly displayed the charm which has maintained him as a favorite in the international set, no matter what people at home think of him.He was also praised and applauded heartily as he gave his speech Monday morning to delegates.But it was not all clear sailing for him.On his entry to the Sunday reception at a plush Toronto hotel, the prime minister was asked for his invitation by a diligent — but later embarrassed — young security guard.Reception for 10,000 in Tor.TORONTO (CP) — More than 10,000 world bankers and bureaucrats have been invited to a reception tonight at the Ontario legislature — and organizers are praying they don’t congregate on the building’s interior balcony.The balcony, where a swing band will play, is a structural weak point in the main legislature building."We’ve put the band on the balcony because we were afraid there would be a crash — and not the kind bankers are afraid of,” said Denis Massicotte, media aide for Premier William Davis.Although no one in the history of the International Monetary Fund-World Bank annual meetings has ever held a reception for all the delegates at one time, Davis and his aide Clare Wescott thought it an ideal chance to show off Ontario.Can.has strong credit rating TORONTO (CP) — Canada has one of the world’s top five credit ratings despite a lagging economy which, in recent years, has been outperformed by such debt-ridden and financially troubled countries as Mexico, Ecuador, India and Pakistan, say two influential magazines.In its September issue to coincide with this week’s annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, Euromoney says Canada ranked 40th in the world in overall economic performance between 1974 and 1982.That ranking, out of 81 countries surveyed, embarrassingly put Canada a notch below Mexico, which owes about $80 billion and faces virtual economic collapse unless it can reach an agreement with the IMF on a $4.5-billion emergency loan.Yen won’t be propped up TORONTO (CP) — Japan’s top finance officials have warned the West they will not try to prop up their weakening currency even if the undervalued yen helps Japan run up record trade surpluses with the rest of the world.Michio Watanabe, Japan’s finance minister, told the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank on Monday the weakness in his country’s currency is almost totally attributable to the large gap between U.S.and Japanese interest rates.He said this has led to the outflow of huge sums of Japanese capital to seek higher returns in the U.S.and created an overvalued American dollar.Restraint program ‘great fodder’ WINDSOR, Ont.(CP) — The federal government’s six-and five-per-cent wage restraint program “makes great political fodder but it won’t do anything for the economy,” says Robert White, Canadian director of the United Auto Workers.The purpose of the policy is to “turn the people’s attention away from the issues and focus them on worker’s wages,” White said.“Workers are not to blame for the economic ills of this country,” he said, putting the blame for the current recession on government policies.Question of Indian status raised SAINT JOHN (CP) — New Brunswick Indian organizations will meet in Fredericton this week to decide whether to make presentations to a parliamentary committee studying the question of Indian status.Spokesman Graydon Nicholas says Indian groups have little time to prepare for the hearings next month because they are concentrating on preparations for a constitutional conference on native rights early next year.Graydon said the federal government is trying to divert the attention of Indians away from the question of aboriginal rights by raising the emotional issue of Indian status.Employment ‘gives new lifestyle’ NORWAY HOUSE, Man.(CP) - Ed Campbell of the Northern Association of Community Councils says the organization must focus on creating jobs for 47 remote communities where unemployment is an average 85 per cent.Campbell said he will be looking for provincial government support in shifting funds used for welfare payments into job-creation projects.“When people work it gives them and their families a new lifestyle.This is extremely important in communities where welfare has developed into a way of life.” Alta, wants small hospitals EDMONTON (CP) — The Alberta government is bucking the trend in modern health care as it continues to open tiny 10-bed hospitals in rural communities.While other jurisdictions in Canada and the United States are building larger hospitals and improving ambulance services, Alberta decided in 1980 to rebuild hospitals serving less than 2,000 people.“Many small hospitals are not there for health care, but to prop up the local economy,” said Dr.Roy le Riche, registrar of the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons.Mah Society’s ninth convention EDMONTON (CP) — About 850 Canadians with the surname Mah visited Edmonton Saturday for the Mah Society’s ninth national convention on the weekend.Convention chairman Bing Mah, 70, said thousands of people throughout the country share his last name.“There are young Chinese-Canadians who know little about their culture and who can’t speak their native language,” Bing said.“The Mah Society is dedicated to preserving knowledge of our 5,000-year-old civilization and language among the young.” VANCOUVER (CP) — Shawn Fraser, a nine-year-old boy who lost an arm and most of his scalp in a dog attack near his Kelowna home in April, met 15 other champs — short for child amputees — as part of a special lunch on the weekend.He learned that champs has another and different meaning.Cliff Chadderton, Ottawa chief executive of the War Amputees of Canada, told parents of the 16 champs that their children must accept the fact that they are different — but never think they are inferior.“The secret is to get the amputee to think about himself or herself as a winner,” said Chadderton.“And when the emotion goes away, you have to have a hard-headed approach — make them winners.” Search for 2 missing families CLEARWATER, B.C.(CP) - There’s little to go on for searchers and there have been no new clues, but officials say they will keep combing the backroads of the B.C.Interior for two missing families.During the Labor Day weekend, the search area was extended to 52,000 square kilometres — nearly twice the size of Vancouver Island — in a 400-kilometre arc from 100 Mile House to Jasper, across the Alberta border.Armed nurse frees murderer NORWOOD, Mass.(AP) — A woman dressed in a nurse’s uniform pulled out a handgun in a hospital emergency room Monday and freed a convicted murderer being treated for stab wounds.The prisoner, 33-year-old Leroy Chasson, then jumped off his stretcher, grabbed the gun and, still wearing leg shackles, ran outside with the woman to a waiting car, police said.Security guards from Walpole State Prison fired five shots as the car sped off, but no one was believed hit.An 8,282 kg.serving of spuds GRAND FORKS, N.D.(AP) - One potato, two potato, three potato, four.Five potato, six potato — nine tonnes more.The folks at radio station KNOX set out to break the world’s record for a single serving of mashed potatoes as part of the festivities surrounding the annual Potato Bowl in this potato-producing region, the Red River Valley.They ended up with 8,282 kilograms of mashed spuds.The concoction required 1,703 kilograms of flaked potatoes, 6,056 litres of water, 45 kilograms of butter and 11 kilograms of parsley.Staffers mixed the ingredients in a borrowed cement-mixing truck during the football game Saturday in which the University of North Dakota beat the University of Puget Sound.Arson ruled out in weekend fire LOS ANGELES (AP) — Investigators have almost eliminated arson as the cause of a weekend apartment fire that killed 19 people, half of them children, a fire department spokesman said Monday.Investigators are concentrating on “electrical, engineering or some sort of faulty equipment” as a possible cause of the blaze Saturday at the 50-year-old Dorothy Mae apartment hotel on Sunset Boulevard, said spokesman Steve Ventura.“They’re going through all of the floors, eliminating possibilities,” he said.“It’s a slow, grind-out thing,” Martin, Gaynor on critical list SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Janet Gaynor, the first actress ever to win an Oscar, clung to life Monday after a car crash that killed one person and seriously injured two others, including Broadway star Mary Martin.A hospital spokesman said Gaynor, 75, was on life-support equipment in the intensive care unit at San Francisco General Hospital.“Her prognosis is very guarded,” said Dr.Frank Lewis, chief of emergency services at the hospital after he performed four hours of surgery on Gaynor.The surgery was needed to repair a perforated bladder and to stop bleeding near Gaynor’s right kidney, said Lewis.She also suffered 11 fractured ribs, a broken collar bone and multiple pelvic fractures.Polish miner makes 5th casualty WROCLAW (Reuter) —- A 28-year-old miner has died from gunshot wounds in the copper-mining town of Lubin, raising to five the number of reported deaths in last week's demonstrations against martial law in Poland, official sources said Monday.The sources in Wroclaw, centre of the southeastern mining region, said Michal Adamowicz was one of 14 people wounded when police fired on demonstrators marking the second anniversary of the agreements that paved the way for the emergence of the independent union Solidarity.Brit, sets world walking record OSNABRUECK, West Germany (AFP) - A British regimental

She said she and her classmates were all too well aware of the present economic slump and looked at life on a day-to-day basis."After all that’s what survival is all about." Asked about concerns of "the bomb” she replied, “Most of us aren't concerned about future wars, in fact the subject hardly ever comes up although w'e do get into some pretty heavy political

By Claudia Bowers BROME — Brome Fair chalked up another successful event last weekend in spite of chilly rainy weather for two of the three days.Approximately 35,000 people braved a gloomy Labor Day weekend to celebrate the final days of summer at the 136th exhibition held in Brome County.Classes were well filled in dairy and beef with record entries in the Ayrshire and Hereford sections.Stables buzzed with activity during all three days as judging took place Saturday and the traditional caille and horse parade entertained spectators both Sunday and Monday.Sheep judging in front of the new facilities for the wooly favorites drew large crowds with Sunday’s attendance coming 100 people short of breaking the all-time record of 21,000 visitors set on that day last year.Brome County horse owners turned out in fine order this year, with many entries in light horses seldom seen at local fairs.American Saddlebreds, with their showy action and dancing feet pleased crowds ttiat remained on the grandstand for the entire day Sunday.Youngsters with their ponies and even a team of donkeys added to the entertainment as breed and performance classes unrolled for the spectators.A special attraction in the horse parade were several Shire horses imported from England, exhibited by Onil Couture of Cowansville, well-known trainer and rider in the light horse section.T his year, Eugene Whelan toured Brome Fair, and although one ‘bossy’ was slightly remiss in her manners and managed to soil the minister’s nicely polished boots.Whelan visited each stable, chatting with visitors and commenting on the quality of cattle on display.He encouraged the young people present to think of agriculture as the noblest and most important career anyone might choose, pointing out that agriculture was a major renewable resource and an integral part of this country's economy.The Horticultural Society, famous for their flower show d the annual fair, once again proved their ability to put on one of the best exhibitions of flowers and vegetables in the Eastern Townships.Magnificent roses, giant pumpkins and squash and every sort of flower and garden vegetable was on display over the weekend.Honey and maple products were also in fine form, with displays of apple, clover, buckwheat and wild flower honey tempting the sweet tooth of the viewer.Creamed, whipped and sugared maple products stood next door to the honey with the maple products producers' displays.We are quite happy with this year’s edition,” ***** BHOIO/CI AUDI A BOWERS “We're all dressed up and just a waiting

that all prize monies had been paid in every section except the horse classes and these would be available very soon.“I think this is the only fair where exhibitors go home with their prize money and the fair board knows pretty well where it stands financially when the fair closes,” Smith added.“It is an expensive business, showing at fairs, and exhibitors really appreciate seeing some returns for their efforts at such an early date.” Inmate beaten to death at Kingston KINGSTON, Ont.(JM) Mario Gauthier, 26, of Montreal, serving time for the second degree murder of Sherbrooke native Georges

However, the title might lend a touch of class to one’s visiting card.My own flirtation with entitlement was a bit different.It came during the waning days of a London posting when I learned of the goings-on down at Hay on Wye — a sylvan spot on the Welsh border in Hereford (where hurricanes hardly happen.) A prominent resident had decreed the Kingdom of Hay and set himself up as monarch — after all, it WAS his idea.(And none of this separation referendum nonsense, mind you — he just went right ahead and did it.) Other nations did not exactly flock in to establish embassies but, on the other hand, neither did the prime minister call out the Royal Navy.BARONETCY BARGAIN W hat did happen, was that the king (or Hay) printed up the basic documentation and credentials and began selling titles.He set up a sliding scale.For a modest quid or two, one could become an instant baronet; a bishopric was a bit more, of course, as was a peerage, etc.And so it was decided.The next morning, son in tow (after all, there was the matter of succession to consider here) we would all drive down to the Kingdom of Hay.G was anticipating with glee the inevitable confrontation with the bookkeeping department back at head office in Canada when they got the expense account — meals $18, gas $5.50, peerage $49.75.) And the stationery, with modest crown — Lord Levett of Hay! Alas, it was not to be.She turned off the alarm clock and — with dreams of court balls flickering — the young lord slept on until it was too late to make the trip.Somehow, we never got around to rescheduling it.Ruminating, in later years, I asked her why she had fingered the "off” button.T thought it best to let sleeping dukes lie," she explained.Possibly.I suspect she just hated the thought of becoming a dame Beirut: The work of 40 years destroyed in minutes By Nicolas B.Tatro BEIRUT (AP) - The streets of Beirut are clogged with cars and vegetable vendors, and workmen shovel aside the debris of three months of war as life struggles back to normal in the battered capital.The Palestine Liberation Organization, which for 12 years ran its own state within a state in southern Lebanon, has left.Mast of its warriors have been scattered around the Arab world.But there are still deep uncertainties in the Moslem sector of the Lebanese capital where Yasser Arafat’s fighters holed up under siege by Israel’s encircling army."We don’t listen to talk any more,” said Nasr Nasr, proprietor of a fish restaurant in the seaside neighborhood of Rouche.“We want proof instead of talk.” Nasr surveyed the charred and twisted wreckage of his restaurant, deciding whether he would rebuild.“This is the work of 40 years destroyed in 50 minutes.It will cost four million lira ($800,000 U.S.) to rebuild.” Lebanese Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan ordered all Lebanese militias — Christian rightist and Moslem leftist — to get off the streets last week and remove their sandbagged checkpoints.In Christian East Beirut, the rightist I^ebanese forces’ militia that was led by President-elect Bashir Gemayel vanished from its positions along the Green Line frontier dividing the capital.And Israeli officers said privately their troops were keeping "a low profile,” pulling back heavy weapons from the Beirut port.In the Moslem west, Wazzan and French Ambassador Paul Marc Henry attended a ceremonial pullback of the leftist Lebanese Mourabitoun militia from the key National Museum crossing point where some of the heaviest battles between Israel’s army and Palestinian fighters were fought.“The order came down from our chief,” said a Mourabitoun officer named Zolfikar."There will be no more guns in the street, no more uniforms.” But when asked if the militiamen would keep their weapons, he responded: “Yes, of course.” “As of today, there is no East Beirut and West Beirut,” the prime minister proclaimed in a short speech.The capital has been split into warring halves since the 1975-76 civil war which pitted leftist Moslems — with PLO allies — against Christian rightists.The arrival of a Syrian-dominated Arab League peace force in November, 1976, also silenced the guns overnight but in only a few months’ time rival private armies were fighting the Syrians and each other — and many fear it could happen again.HOPE FOR BEST Flicking his worry beads, Jacques Geargeoura, an agent for the Fawzi Ghandour Shipping Co, near the western gate of the harbor, said with a shrug: “If there is no hope there is no life, so we hope for the best." Lebanese government officials have estimated it will cost $4 billion to make good the losses suffered in the Israeli invasion and a total of $12 billion to rebuild what has been devastated since 1975.The last of about 15,000 Syrian soldiers and Palestinian fighters left last week and the scrape of shovels cleaning up debris could be heard along Corniche Mazraa, the boulevard where Palestinian and leftist Lebanese offices were concentrated.Red and white Lebanese flags emblazoned with green cedar trees fluttered in place of Palestinian flags in the camps of Bourj el-Barajneh and the Fakhani neighborhood, where Arafat had maintained the headquarters of his state within a state.Soldiers of the Lebanese army, who had been banished from West Beirut since before the civil war, walked in twos and threes through the street unarmed and unnoticed.TAKE CONTROL Red-bereted Squad 16 police armed with M-16 automatic rifles, and tan-suited police with bolstered pistols have taken control of most Beirut streets.But some government services were slower to return.The street corners in sidewalks in West Beirut are still heaped with foul-smelling, fly-covered mounds of garbage.Municipal garbage collection, haphazard in the western sector before the invasion, came to a complete halt during the blockade.The black-shirted Lebanese militia Partisans of the Revolution, carrying assault rifles, stood guard near the Sodeco crossing, an east-west road that opened last week for the first time in 20 months.The I Lebanese leftists have taken over the weapons left behind by the PLO.The I^banese are waiting to see if the militias will disappear from the streets only for a few days as they have in the past, or whether they will disband altogether.“It is good that militias are gone,” said candy store owner Adnan Htait.“They used to come into the shop and take anything they wanted without paying for it.Let us hope it is over.” Rights Charter causes groping «OSes CALGARY (CP) Lawyers and judges are groping their w-ay around the new Charter of Rights, mapping out its effects on other laws, but cases have yet to go through the legal appeals process that produces precedents.The charter appears to be brought up most often in impaired driving cases as lawyers use various sections of it in efforts to overturn the use of breath analysis tests or dismiss evidence obtained from breath-testing machines.Under Section 24 of the act.people can seek redress from the courts if they feel their rights have been infringed.Judge Tom McMeekin threw out a claim in Calgary on Thursday involving the breath test.He ruled that people are neither arrested nor detained when asked to give a breath sample and thus do not have to be informed of their right to see a lawyer.He said detention must involve a form of involuntary restraint.Being asked to accompany a policeman for a breath test does not qualify.In another provincial courtroom, lawyer Sandy Park argued for the suppression of certain evidence because it was obtained by a policeman who had not informed Park’s client of his rights.The policeman said when he asked the questions he did not know whether he was going to lay charges.Crown Attorney Bob Davie said Park's submission was based on “American jurisprudence.” WERE NO THREATS He said there was no threat nor promise of a favor by the police.“It was willing compliance with a reasonable request made by a police officer conducting investigations,” he said.Park disagreed."He was detained and in the back of a police car.They were embarking on an investigation into a criminal offence.” Calgary Judged.D.Reilly indicated earlier this month he feels use of breath tests may contravene the charter in that it infringes on the accused’s right to a fair hearing and a proper defence.But Reilly is still awaiting Crown arguments in that case.Meanwhile, in Saskatoon, provincial court Chief Judge Ernest Boychuk ruled out a challenge under the charter against the breath test.He disagreed with an Ontario ruling by provincial Judge Maurice Charles, who last month held that the breath tests violate protection against self-incrimination.That rule does not apply to the breath test or to fingerprints, said Judge Boychuk, Massive money problems haunt President Reagan By Carl Mollins WASHINGTON (CP) — Evidence accumulates that the only sound way the U.S.government can accomplish its economic objectives is to curb its costly military buildup.The signs are just as strong that neither President Reagan nor the majority in Congress will yield to that logic when they return this week from a 19-day vacation.The result, a growing number of critics say, will be to distort U.S.economic recovery and probably also, paradoxically, disrupt the military business.The impact tvill be felt beyond U.S.borders, where Canada and other countries are heavily reliant on the United States for their economic wellbeing and in matters of war and peace.The congressional agenda after Labor Day, as before, features work on current and future federal budgets.Congress must clean up disputed details for the budget year that ends Sept.30, allocate funds for the 1982-83 fiscal year and perhaps look again at the spending guidelines already set out by Reagan for the two subsequent years.TIME SHORT The legislators are working under pressures of time and politics.Congressional elections come Nov.2 for 435 representatives and 33 senators They need time out to campaign next month and they want to avoid making unpopular budget cuts or balking a popular president The economic objectives of federal budgeting are widely agreed in the White House and in Congress.They are to restrain the inflationary growth of federal spending.They want to reduce and ultimately eliminate annual deficits forecast now at around $150 billion on yearly spe: ding projected to rise to $880 billion in 1! 4-85 from $734 billion this year.This, it is argued, will help the country recover from recession by reducing the burden of government borrowing.The aim was to hack a three-year total of about $280 billion out of original spending plans from now to 1985.Reductions voted in August, after weeks of agonizing and all-night haggling, add up to about $30 billion spread over three years That leaves $250 billion to go, or an average of more than $80 billion out of each year’s budget.Social welfare programs took the brunt of the August cuts.Federal bookkeepers hope to save another $100 billion or so by anticipated reductions in the interest paid on the trillion-dollar federal debt.TARGET OBVIOUS Where to get the rest provokes the main debate.The increasingly obvious target is a burgeoning military budget that Reagan insists is untouchable It already accounts for more than one-quarter of the total budget Reagan insists it must grow by more than $100 billion through the next three years, from $191 billion this year to $293 billion in 1984-85.The president demonstrated his commitment anew last week when he vetoed a bill for supplementary spending this fiscal year, partly on the ground that it didn’t provide enough for extra military spending.He described the measure as a “budget-busting” bill because it included $900 million for welfare.But if the Congress adds the $2 billion extra he says he wants for the defence department it would actually increase the “budget-busting” total.Congressional leaders searching for savings proposed earlier this summer to pare down the future military budget growth by about one-quarter, which would still leave it as the fastest-growing element.But Reagan is resisting.Even officials in the White House budget office, including director David Stockman, have indicated Reagan’s proposed military buildup is excessive, both because of its budget-busting impact and on the ground that the arms industry may be incapable of spending so much more so rapidly ASSAILS PLAN The most telling criticism came from Murray Weidenbaum, chief White House economist, in a parting shot published as he quit last week.He fingered unprecedented growth in military spending as the main cause of “such horrendous deficits” in the federal budget.“What worries me is that these crash efforts rarely increase national security,” added the departing head of the president’s council of economic advisers.“They strain resources, create bottlenecks.” Such arguments will go unheeded on Capitol Hill if Congress holds to its recent voting record.An overwhelming majority provided the Pentagon with almost everything it wanted, sometimes more, in voting two weeks ago for Reagan’s 1982-83 military bill, which is $47 billion higher than this year’s.I he major debates, backed by strenuous lobbying and full-page newspaper advertisements by weapons manufacturers, featured a scramble among representatives of different regions for pieces of the manufacturing action.1 he legislators appended resolutions questioning the proliferation of weaponry and the fact, for example, that “the Defence Department is currently procuring aircraft Irom more than 25 production lines, not a single one of which is operating at the most efficient production rate.” But they sometimes voted more money than the government had requested — $850 million instead of $700 million for military transport planes, for instance.I hey also authorized $1.4 billion as a down payment on MX intercontinental nuclear missiles and anti missile missiles to guard them, even though the Pentagon has not decided where, when or how to deploy them m which branch of the armed forces will operate them.I Farm and Business The KKL'OHU—Tuesday, Sepleiuhei 7, limit—5 ttie< #1___ggJ KEBmuL Weather is critical for Canadian grain

directions towards Vermont, through Saint-Herménégilde and Saint-Mathieu-de-Dix ville or towards New Hampshire, through Saint-Venant-de-Hereford and Hereford Documents on the proposed route may be consulted, between August 30 and October 1, 1982, at local city halls and Hydro-Québec offices.Further information on the various aspects of this project may be obtained by contacting Jean-Marie Pelletier Service Relations publiques Région Richelieu Hydro-Québec 7300, rue Choquette Saint-Hyacinthe J2S 7L1 (514) 774-3560 poste 307 Hydro-Québec will announce its decision at a later date and will inform all interested organizations and individuals It will also submit its decision to the Québec government for approval out to grab his share of the market — in some cases through discount prices, redeemable grocery coupons, cash rebates or other promotional gimmicks.Retail gas prices jumped erratically across the country last week, following the mandatory 60-day waiting period before the government-administered increase in the wellhead price of oil on July 1 could be passed on to the consumer.Industry spokesmen say the wellhead-price increase of 1.6 cents a litre has been extended by some major oil companies to a retail increase of about 2.8 cents, resulting in gas-pump prices ranging from 37.1 cents a litre in Edmonton to 50.4 cents in St.John’s, Nfld.WARS STILL RAGE But price wars are still being waged sporadically across the country, especially in Ontario, and market observers say prices will continue to fluctuate as local conditions warrant.While the federal government regulates wellhead prices as a result of its recent agreement with the producing provinces, dealers are unrestrained at the retail level.“I predict a price erosion because of an oversupply,” says Jim Conrad, executive director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Petroleum Marketers.“Gas is a commodity and the dealers want that market.” However, Conrad says he doesn’t expect price wars to reach the extremes they did last month in St.Catharines, Ont.Two dealers in that city went all out and by nightfall had dropped the price to 18 cents a litre before police persuaded them to return to more realistic levels in order to clear a massive traffic tie-up.Yet, there are other marketing strategies and Conrad expects these will continue to lure customers, at least for the short term.OFFERS COUPONS One of these come-ons is a grocery coupon campaign in Ontario promoted jointly by members of the food and gasoline industries, both feeling the competitive pinch.Loblaws Ltd.and Dominion Stores Ltd.are offering discount coupons for gas prices.Loblaws started its promotion July 28 in co-operation with Imperial Oil Ltd.and Dominion Stores followed suit Aug.11 with Shell Canada Ltd.as its partner.Shortly after, Texaco (Canada) Inc.announced its Ontario dealers were honoring both sets of coupons.C ANADIAN I'KI.SS A lot of the problems of Canadian farmers would be solved by bad weather — somewhere else.At home, they could do with some sunshine to dry soggy fields on the Prairies, compensate for a cool summer in central Canada and speed the harvest in the Maritimes.Then they can start worrying about selling their produce.Saskatchewan farmers, for example, are hoping to harvest about 22 million tonnes of grain this fall, a solid increase from last year’s 19.5 million tonnes, but expectations of bumper crops in other countries may depress prices 15 to 30 per cent from last year to the lowest levels in 20 years.That’s good news for consumers.Tim Carter, vice-president in charge of the Retail Council of Canada’s food division, said lower grain prices reduce the cost of producing poultry, pork, beef and eggs and there is a “very good chance” food prices will increase by less than 10 per cent this year for the first time in five years.But it spells potential disaster for grain producers, particularly if they, rather than their competitors abroad, encounter unfavorable weather in the critical weeks ahead.HOPE FOR EXPORTS On the other hand, a reported shortage of 30 million tonnes of wheat, corn and barley in the Soviet Union and diminished production forecasts from Australia and India offer the prospect of lucrative exports for growers in Canada and the United States, where heavy corn and barley production is a major factor in keeping prices down.Unfavorable weather in July may turn out to be good news for potato growers in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, who were getting only $1.00 last March for a 22.6 kilo bag that cost them $3.50 to produce.Harry Fraser, publisher of the authoritative Fraser’s Potato Newsletter, said the price, a 50-year low, was caused by overproduction in the two provinces and the eastern United States last summer, Lack of moisture in July, at the crucial stage of the growing season, would bring up prices by reducing this year’s yield.Increased production is not expected to cause problems for blueberry farmers in Nova Scotia, who earned $6 17 million last year by selling 5.8 million kilos at $105 a kilo.Estimates of this year’s harvest range as high as 6,8 million kilos and the current price ranges between $1.32 and $1.36.About 90 per cent of the berries are frozen and shipped to Western Europe and Japan.APPLE CROP HIGHER Rick Witman of the Nova Scotia Agriculture Department said the province expects to harvest 3.3 million bushels of apples this fall, slightly more than last year, and the price is likely to be virtually unchanged.Processors were paid $10.55 million for last year's crop.Quebec government officials said they expect a "rather average year” generally with prices down two or three per cent from last year because of the recession and international price trends.“If this year's crop isn't great, it's because of the weather,” said Daniel Fortier of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.“June and July were very dry and August has been colder than usual.” The Quebec Bureau of Statistics has issued no specific forecasts but a spokesman said it has been a good year for growing lettuce and a bad year for selling it.Sweet corn yields were below normal but the potato crop was satisfactory and planting of most grains was higher than last year.Ontario predicted a five-per-cent drop in production of field crops, to 7.96 million tonnes from 8.36 million in 1981.Adverse weather conditions had limited planting of winter wheat and production was expected to be down 50 per cent at 351,000 tonnes compared with 709,000 last year.TOBACCO DAMAGED An unseasonable frost last weekend caused extensive damage to Ontario's tobacco crop but Michael Murray, a director of the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers Marketing Board, said early estimates that set the loss at $100 million were too high.Officials said there will be enough tobacco to meet export and domestic needs The same cold wave struck a wide area oÇ Manitoba and Saskatchewan two day£ earlier and initial reports from thd Canadian Wheat Board said 500,000 tonnes of grain may have been destroyed in Saskatchewan alone.But the board witb-i drew the estimate later, saying it wa.i premature.“We won’t know how badly the crop was hurt by the frost until it’s in the bin,” saicf Paul Shukin, a local agriculture representative in Saskatoon Adrian Strutinsky, a Manitoba Agriculture Department analyst, said wel fields during August prevented farmers from cutting and threshing their crops and encouraged the growth of fungi which attack plants.The department anticipated higher yields in all grain crops unless conditions deteriorate but some farmers had cut theiT production of feed grains because of low world prices.Alberta, which escaped last week's cold spell, anticipated a record grain crop of 43 U> 45 million tonnes, seven per cent more than in 1981, and farmers viewed the prospect of a surplus with mixed feelings.Although Canada exported a record 27 8 million tonnes of grain in the crop year ending July 31, 6.4 million tonnes remained unsold, forcing farmers to settle for this year’s lower prices.Drought in some districts of British Columbia reduced grain and oilseed production by 15 to 25 per cent from last year and prices were down 10 to 15 per cent becuse of large U.S.crops, Fruit and vegetable yields were higher but prices fell because of the higher production and reduced purchases by wholesalers because of the slack economy A tradesman who clings to the past EDMONTON (CP) -While Edmonton strides to the future, a steady tapping from a building in one city section tells of a tradesman who clings to the past.Muscles bulging and his face full of sweat, blacksmith Ken Shillabeer hammers on his anvil.Close by, work crews build a new Edmonton and a crane overhangs the shop like a metal gallows.The smith’s trade is dying, says Shillabeer, and not just because of progress.“It’s too hot, too heavy, too hard and too dirty.” Youngsters don’t w'ant to sweat or dirty their hands so they bypass the forge for easy money.But Shillabeer, who began smithing 24 years ago, says the job is rewarding.“You start with nothing and you end up with something,” he explains.“You have a finished project, something you achieved.” He jerks a hot bar from the coals and batters the tip to a point on the anvil.He is making jack-hammer bits, one after another in a steady routine.TAKES THOUGHT But smithing is not just muscle, he adds.It takes imagination and concentration — a vivid mental image of w'hat you want to make.“You heat and tap it, heat and tap it until you've got the shape you want.You might spend hours just making one little item.” Shillabeer still makes horseshoes — half an hour for shoes for the big Clydesdale horses — but jack-hammer bits are in greater demand.He also repairs ploughshares and forges brackets for damaged roto-tillers.He made a fencer’s helmet and visor once, and now has an order for a metal breastplate.Sweating along with him at his business is partner Roy Segatti, who grinds knives, hatchets, shears, clippers, lawn-mowers and builders’ tools.Segatti’s grandfather came from Italy in 1912 to start Jasper Grinders, then solely a sharpening business.Henry Cranna, 72, a blacksmith from Scotland, works at the forge part-time.Shillabeer says the “The old things smithy’s forge retains haven’t changed,” he the warm, friendly says.“People still come atmosphere of the past.in and gather and talk.” eA Jieatthy Jteart is a oi7*Xî ?% give.heart fünd “It’s

7,1»H2 Living Meat prices up, though total food basket cost drops With large stocks of frozen chicken now depleted, marketing boards are cutting production and the move is reflected in higher costs, a survey of August food prices indicates.In seven of 12 cities surveyed by The Canadian Press, chicken prices rose by as much as $1.07 a pound in Quebec City and 48 cents a pound in Halifax.Pork prices also were up in several centres.The Retail Council of Canada said in early August that pork prices are expected to remain high but may decline in the fall as an embargo on Danish exports because of foot-and-mouth disease in that country is lifted.In addition, there has been a reduction in North American pork production, which has led to increased prices.But on the brighter side, shoppers got a break when buying fresh tomatoes and potatoes.With the current harvest of domestic supplies of both, prices have slipped considerably.As a result, the total cost of the 17-item food basket dropped in eight cities surveyed.SI GAR PRICES DOWN Consumers are also benefiting from much lower sugar prices.Robert S.Thompson, president of the Canadian Sugar Institute, said “a lot of crops in a lot of sugar-producing countries are turning out a substantial amount of sugar.” He said production will increase this year by five million tonnes, “which is good news for the consumer, but not for the producer.” The survey of the monthly food basket is conducted in the same supermarket in each of the 12 cities on the last Monday of the month.The survey includes one pound each of round steak roast, wieners (not all-beef), centre-cut pork chops, Grade A chicken, medium ground beef, frozen cod fillets, margarine in a tub, tomatoes, drip coffee and apples Also included are one dozen large eggs, one litre of two-per-cent milk, a 24-ounce loaf of sliced white bread, a 12-ounce bag of frozen peas, 10 pounds of first-grade potatoes, two kilograms of granulated white sugar and a 28-ounce tin of halved pears.The survey is not intended to provide a city-by-city comparison because the product sampling is small.It shows price trends in specific stores in certain cities for a limited number of items many families might buy.The latest price checks show: St.John’s, Nfld.: Round steak roast was up $1.60 to $3.88, ground beef 30 cents to $2.08, margarine 18 cents to $1.17, bread eight cents to

Landersr Some more drug warnings Dear Ann Landers: I recently read in your column the article about the 16-year-old girl who was married and has a baby.You printed her letter so others in her peer group could relate.I hope you will print this letter for the same reason.My episode was not pregnancy - it was drugs.I came from a neighborhood where there wasn’t much to do.I didn’t start on pot because I thought it was cool.I started because I was bored, and pot and partying made things seem better.I know it was dumb but that’s what I thought.Some people say pot doesn't lead to harder drugs like LSD and speed, but it did with me.All of a sudden my life became unreal.I couldn't remember what had been said to me an hour before.I was totally burned out.My grades went to hell, and I got into real trouble at home.I had three bad car accidents and was lucky I wasn’t killed.Like the rest of you out there, I never believed what the doctors and counselors said about how drugs could affect a person’s mind and body.I laughed at the columns you wrote and thought you were nutty.The last time I crashed, all these thoughts came back to me.I’m off drugs now, thanks to a very wonderful and special guy who came into my life.He helped me put the pieces together.Without him, I probably would have killed myself one way or another.Before I took drugs I was in great shape, mentally and physically.Now I have to stop and put my thoughts together.It's not as bad as it used to be.I'm slowly regaining what I lost, but I’m really scared that I might not recover totally.So all you guys and gals out there who read this, listen to what I'm telling you - or you will face the consequences someday.Thank you, Ann, if you print this letter.I know it isn’t written well, so please put it in proper form.— Lucky In Louisiana.Cold pool saved boy from drowning OTTAWA (CP) — When three-year-old Timothy Russell was pulled from the cold water of a swimming pool in west-end Ottawa last May, doctors said he was clinically dead.Rut now Timothy is a normal, happy-go-lucky child because of special resuscitation techniques and because of the cold water that almost drowned him.“If you’d have seen him on the street, you would hqve said he was dead,” said Dr.Kenneth Gfeller, hqad of the special medical treatment team at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.“There was virtually no evidence of his vital fufictions,” Gfeller said of Timothy, who spent an estimated 10 minutes in the pool.Timothy’s mother Lise says "it was a miracle.” îi’m not that religious, but I called in a priest to say a prayer.I figured if my prayers weren’t good enough, maybe his were.” Timothy was transferred to the chidren’s hospital after doctors at Ottawa Civic Hospital restarted his heart by injecting adrenalin directly into it.INDUCES COMA He was kept for four days in a drug-induced coma arid his body temperature lowered to about 30 degrees — 37 is normal — by wrapping him with cooling blankets containing glass tubes through which refrigeration fluid was circulated.Gfeller says “the fact that he fell into a pool that was really cold, that’s what saved him.” Keeping the body’s temperature below normal reduces the brain’s oxygen needs and the risk of brain damage Doctors also administered drugs to induce paralysis and carefully monitor the swelling in his brain.Then they gradually warmed his body — most swelling and brain damage occur as the body warms :V , Y'fi 2 Alcan Aluminum foil 100 tablets ® by Bayer 12" x 25' IIÜI»: ¦F&i lllllf® Si SSSSî Tide Detergent, 6

The Cougars also got a big day from running back Dennis Walker who carried the ball nine times for a total of 106 yards Breck attributed a lot of Walker's and Balogh’s success to the fact the offensive line outplayed expectations."The position group I’m the most pleased with is the offensive line.They have come a long way and they performed a lot better than I thought they would." Champlain extended their consecutive game winning streak to 14 through a combination of good play from both the offensive and defensive units but Breck, always looking to perfect his club, said he was disappointed Marie Victorin scored.“I was disappointed they scored.I thought we should have held them off.Our defensive pass rush has to be cranked up a bit for next week and maybe we could smooth a few things out before we meet John Abbott.” "I’m obviously pleased with the win and the streak but the thing that con-cerns me is when you spend your time worrying about a streak instead of working that's when the streak will come to a quick end.” Gaiters look good On Saturday the Gaiters opened their season with an exhibition game with Wilfrid Laurier — perennially a strong squad in the Ontario league The Gaiters fell behind 7-0 on Laurier s first possession and it looked as if they would be in for a long afternoon.But the much-talked-about Gaiter passing game, led by quarterback Karel Nemec, took charge and brought Bishop's right back up the field to score and the Gaiters didn’t stop as they won :U-17."One of the reasons I’m pleased is after they got the ball deep in our zone early they scored.A team with less character might have said, ‘well, they have a big running game and it’s all over’, but we came back tough,” said Bishop's head coach Bruce Coulter.“Fortunately we have a passing game and they forced us into it.” The Gaiters do indeed have a passing game as was evidenced by the 404 yard total offence in the air.Nemec, who has been given the number one quarterback job said he wasn’t that surprised with the win or the success of the offense.“I knew we had the potential but thinking you can do it and actually going out and performing well is a big difference.” “I wasn’t nervous about being the starter but 1 guess I was nervous about KK ORD/BOHHY HSHfcR < ougar assistant coach Dave Shields (right) discusses strategy with quarterback Chris lialogh doing well and I think as a team we showed a lot of character," he said Nemec’s main target on Saturday was receiver Phil Charron who had two touchdowns and made two spectacular catches.Charron said he too was a little nervous at the start of the contest."During the early part of the first half I was nervous but once you make that first catch you start to feel relaxed.We have four receivers and all can catch the ball as well as the other.Today it just happened 1 was the one." The Gaiter defence also played a strong game — stopping the Laurier team twice deep in the Bishop's zone when the outcome was still undecided.Defensive coach Tom Allen felt good about the performance of his players but he didn't feel Laurier offered too much of a challenge."We weren’t really tested by them They didn’t throw very much 1 don’t know what it was maybe five or six times.I am pleased with the way we stuffed the ball in their faces a couple of times when they were deep in our end.” “On the whole I thought we played exceptionally well although we do need a little more work ” Scoreboard BASEBALL NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division W L Pet GBL 77 59 566 - 76 61 555 14 73 64 .534 44 73 64 533 44 61 77 442 17 53 82 .392 234 St.Louis Philadelphia Montreal Pittsburgh Chicago New York RECORD/BOBBY FISHER The Cougars left Les Trappeurs standing still most of the afternoon on Sunday Seeds advance at Open NEW YORK
