23,1982 30 cents Official denies widow was threatened and forced to work QUEBEC (CP) — A Quebec manpower official has rejected a statement made by a 47-year-old widow that she was forced to join a work gang in order to keep her provincial welfare payments.Pierre Clouatre, an assistant regional manpower director, said Wednesday the job was offered to the woman and she took it.She asked the manpower counsellor who offered it whether she might lose some of the welfare money if she didn’t accept it, he said, but the counsellor didn't threaten her."The counsellor told her that if she didn’t accept the job, maybe we could do that, but no threat was made.” The woman, Colette Couture, who has five children to support at home, said she was given the choice of either joining the work gang under a provincial job-creation program or having $50 cut from her monthly welfare cheque of $554.As a member of the work program, she receives $938, Clouatre said.Other women are also employed in manual labor in the same area, he said.When the jobs are over after 20 weeks, the former provincial welfare recipients are eligible for unemployment insurance.Ijtst June, Bernard Landry, then economic development minister of Quebec, explained that, “when the federal government tightens the criteria for unemployment insurance, it throws UIC recipients on welfare."If we put people to work, it makes them eligible for UIC,” he said.Quebec appeals ‘ totalitarian’ tag MONTREAL (CP) — A two-page foolscap brief constitutes Quebec’s appeal of a Superior Court judgment that the Canadian Constitution has precedence over the province's Charter of the French Language on the language of education.The appeal, filed here Wednesday in Quebec Court of Appeal, says Chief Justice Jules Deschenes erred when he said the language law sprang from “a totalitarian concept which was incompatible with the basic values of our society.” Deschenes also erred, the brief said, by underestimating the ability of the English language and culture in Quebec to assimilate and retain individuals, by downplaying the precarious state of the French fact here and by minimizing the significant effects that total application of the so-called Canada clause w'ould have on Quebec's school population.The brief also questions Deschenes’s conclusions that the language charter — popularly known as Bill 101 — suppresses rights rather than merely restricting them and that the Canada clause resembles Premier Rene Levesque’s offer to other premiers of English-language education to students from provinces offering French-language education.BOTHERED BY DELAY It took Quebec two weeks to react formally to the judgment, a delay which irritated Luc Larivee, chairman of the province’s largest school board — the Montreal Catholic School Commission.After a commission meeting Wednesday night, Larivee said that when the court decided Bill 101 unconstitutionally limited the language of courts and the legislature, Quebec’s response was ready within a day.But because of the delay to appeal Deschenes's ruling, he said, school boards have been forced to obey the court by enrolling newly-eligible children in English schools.These children now could find their school year disrupted if they are forced to switch to French schools because the government has finally decided to appeal.The commission’s legal advisors are studying the matter.Before it learned of the appeal, the commission agreed to allow 35 students whose parents had been educated in English elsewhere in Canada to enroll in English-language classes.Michael Hennessey, president of the 1,800-member Federation of English-speaking Catholic Teachers, said all 35 children had been illegally taught in English in commission schools before the judgment.ENGLISH CLASSES SOUGHT About 100 qualified students across Quebec appear to have requested English education since the judgment was handed down two weeks ago.Most of the province’s Protestant school boards have agreed to give children affected by Deschenes's ruling an English education, despite threats by Education Minister Camille Laurin to cut off provincial funds allocated to boards for the education of those students.The Protestant boards plan to keep track of the amount they spend and bill the province for the funds if Quebec loses in the Supreme Court of Canada Most Catholic boards have made no decision on the matter.“But you must remember that school boards have more important things to worry about in September than Bill 101,” Larivee told reporters.“You dont seem to understand that the big problem we’re facing is the arrival of 108,000 students.The schools have just opened and we have to straighten out basic problems in such areas as busing and lunch-room supervision.“As far as I’m concerned, these local administrative questions take precedence over national ones.” Reagan signature sends railwâys back in action WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan signed emergency legislation late Wednesday that ends the countrywide U S.rail strike, saying the action was needed to protect the jobs of one million Americans.By administration estimates, the four-day walkout had already put almost 500,000 people out of work.And Reagan declared that if the strike were to continue, it could cost the economy “close to $1 billion a day.” The president’s signature came just hours after the House of Representatives passed the measure 383 to 17.The Senate had approved the measure by voice vote Tuesday night It imposes a contract settlement on the locomotive engineers’ union and the rail industry, ending the walkout.Reagan said he would prefer for Ronald Reagan.keeping factories and farms at work ma government to stay out of the labor dispute, but the mandated settlement was necessary to “protect the jobs of our people and keep both factories and farms at work.” Within hours after the decree became law Wednesday, union officials said they will comply, ending a four-day strike that had shut down most of the U.S.rail system.They said they expect most striking engineers to resume work at the beginning of their next shift.Reagan, in his brief statement, said “within 10 days, steel plants and additional auto factories would begin to close,” if the strike were to continue.JOBS MOST IMPORTANT’ “By far the most important consideration for me is jobs.If this strike were prolonged, nearly a million Americans would face a threat of unemployment.” “We cannot afford such losses,” he said.“It's imperative that we act and act quickly.” The strike halted most freight traffic in the U.S.and interrupted Amtrak passenger lines in the West and South as well as service for 150,000 commuters in San Francisco, Chicago and Boston.John Sytsma, president of the engineer's union, said in a statement that the law ordering an end to the strike “by no means solves the basic problems" that led to the strike.The government order requires the union to accept a settlement recommended by a special presidential commission and already endorsed by the rail industry and 12 other unions.Both sides already had agreed to a wage hike of 28 8 per cent, some of which is retroactive to April, 1981, during the life of the 39-month contract.The engineers earn art average of $36,000 a year but individual earnings can range widely from one railway to another, government officials said.m * ' •r- * RECORD/CARLA STRAtSSLt It ’v harvest time again it's time again for the annual apple harvest when pick-your-own places are packed

reconstituted multinational force is arriving in Lebanon this week to prevent more vendetta killings like the refugee massacre that has outraged the world and severely shaken the Israeli government.Lebanon’s President-elect Amin Gemayel was officially assuming power today, receiving an unusual show of support from Lebanese Moslems and the Arab world.In New York, the United Nations General Assembly announced it will meet in emergency session Friday to consider a Palestinian demand for a UN inquiry into the slaughter of hundreds of men, women and children at two West Beirut Palestinian refugee camps last week.Israel, which invaded Lebanon June 6 to rout the Palestine Liberation Organization, blamed the massacre on its Lebanese Christian Phalangist militia allies.Israel says they wanted to avenge the Sept.14 assassination of President-elect Bashir Gemayel, younger brother of the new leader.Israeli Defence Minister Ariel Sharon, who ordered his forces into West Beirut following Gemayel’s death, said Thursday no Israeli soldier or commander took part in the three-day massacre at the Chatilla and Sabra camps last week He told angry legislators during a debate in the Israeli parliament or Knesset that the army helped plan and support a Phalangist militia raid into the camps to flush out PLO guerrillas believed hiding there, but never expected “in our darkest dreams” the massacre of civilians ESTIMATES VARY Estimates of victims range from 300 by the U.S.government to 1,400 by the PLO.As of Wednesday the confirmed toll was 293.To avoid further bloodshed, some of the950 French paratroopers committed to the peacekeeping force were coming ashore today, to be joined by Italian infantrymen on Friday, sources in Beirut said About 1,800 U.S.marines left Naples, Italy, on Wednesday aboard the U.S.helicopter carrier Guam and were expected to arrive off the Beirut coast Saturday.It was not immediately clear how many of the Americans will go ashore, where they are expected to guard the capital's airport and harbor In Jerusalem, supporters of Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin managed to defeat an opposition Labor Party motion in the Knesset for an official inquiry into the Beirut massacre by a 48-to-42 vote.They also defeated a motion condemning Israel’s takeover of west Beirut 47 to 40.STRIKES STAGED A bitter Knesset debate erupted in pandemonium at times, while elsewhere both Arab and Jewish protesters staged strikes, burned tires and battled security forces to express outrage over the massacre.Energy Minister Yitzhak Berman and Menachem Milson, civilian governor of the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River, resigned to protest Begin’s refusal to establish an immediate investigation.Begin’s supporters say such an investigation would imply that Israel was involved in the bloodletting.Arabs demonstrated against the government in northern Israel, leaving dozens of people injured, including 64 in the worst clashes in Nazareth.Outgoing Lebanese President Elias Sarkis, whose term expired today, said in a speech on state television and radio Wednesday night that all foreign armies must withdraw from Lebanon.He predicted “a bright tomorrow.” Besides the Israelis, about 25,000 Syrian soldiers are stationed in the eastern Bekaa Valley, originally sent to police a truce following the 1975-76 civil war between Christians and Moslems.Sarkis’s successor Amin Gemayel was overwhelmingly elected by parliament Tuesday in a rare display of Christian and Moslem co-operation.In contrast to the cool Arab reaction his brother's election received Aug.23, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman congratulated him.Some observers said Amin received wide Arab support because he does not have the ruthless reputation of his slain brother and has remained uncommitted about his intentions regarding a peace treaty with Israel.Quebec gives bonus for quick deal QUEBEC (CP) — Public Service Minister Denise LeBlanc-Bantey offered Wednesday to ease the pain of a planned 18.9-per-cent pay cut for Quebec’s lowest-paid civil servants if they reach a quick agreement with the government.She said the government is willing to return $13 million of the $41 million it would save by cutting their wages in the first three months of 1983, with the result that half the 38,000 members of the Syndicat des fonctionnaires provinciaux du Quebec will suffer no pay loss.Others would have their pay reduced by less than the planned 18.9 per cent, she said.The government hopes it will save a total of $521 million through the three-month reductions, which begin Jan.1 and affect all 335,000 public servants, school and health workers on Quebec’s payroll.“If he (union president Jean-Louis Harguindeguy) comes tomorrow morning he will have the $13 million,” the minister said.Speaking at a news conference, LeBlanc-Bantey said that the 45,000 employees under her department would lose some of their privileges under government contract proposals.Civil servants and government professionals in the future would only get job security after two years on the job and those whose jobs disappear w ould only be exempt from transfer for six months Civil servants are currently exempt from out-of-town transfers for a year and government professionals for 18 months.Asked if job security would remain in force, she said: “At least for this collective agreement but it still seems to us to be very generous.” The government intends to cut the number of jobs in the public service by one per cent annually and the total payroll by two per cent, she said.This would mean fewer jobs for professionals and managers.The 6,500 professionals, members of a second union, the Syndicat des professionnels du gouvernement du Quebec, are the hardest hit under the government’s wage proposals unveiled Tuesday.The general wage proposals to the province's 300,000 public employees call for no increase in 1983 after the 18.9-per-cent cut ends April 1, a five-per-cent raise in 1984 and 3.27 per cent more in 1985.However, the professionals will get no increase, although those acting as supervisors will get a five-per-cent premium.LeBlanc-Bantey also said they will have their work week increased to 35 hours from the current 32 Vfe.On the positive side, rights already granted to professionals — such as paid courses, a sabbatical year with full pay every seven years and more flexibility in selecting vacation dates — would be extended to those in lower categories In addition to the members of the two unions, LeBlanc-Bantey’s offers apply to 818 doctors, lawyers, notaries, teachers and dentists in government service.Brits rally in support of striking health workers LONDON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of British workers, from coal miners to school aides, walked off the job Wednesday and rallied in mass demonstrations in support of striking health service employees.The one-day work stoppage, called by the 11-million-member Trades Union Congress in defiance of a 1980 law banning sympathy strikes, threatened a major confrontation with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative party government.In the largest rally of the Day of Action, a throng estimated at 60,000 by police and 120.000 by union leaders marched through central London to Hyde Park in a carnival-type atmosphere.Banners flew in the bright sunshine, young nurses in uniform walked at the head of the march, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra played a send-off from County Hall on the River Thames.Union chiefs threatened more one-day strikes until Thatcher agrees to higher pay for the 750,000 workers in the state-run National Health Service, among the lowest-paid people in the country.Social Services Secretary Norman Fowler insisted the government would not yield to a demand by health servce employees for a 12-per-cent pay increase.The government has offered 7.5 per cent to nurses, now earning a basic average of $145.35 a week, and six per cent to ancillary staff, including porters, cooks and cleaners who get an average $101. 2—The KECORI)—Thursday, September 23,19H2 Soviet invasion of Poland would ‘tear’ relations — ex-ambassador LONDON (CP) — A Soviet military invasion of Poland remains possible and if it comes, “that’ll tear it" for East-West relations, Robert Ford, former Canadian ambassador to Moscow and acknowledged expert on Russian affairs, said Wednesday.No matter how much goodwill there might be to improve those relations, Poland will be an obstacle, one of many in the “prolonged period of stress and uncertainty" which Ford forecast in a speech on East-West .relations delivered at the Great Britain-U.S.S.R.Association.One consolation is that with each successive crisis in its East European satellites since the uprising in East Germany in June, 1953, Moscow has been slower to send in the soldiers, said Ford who served an unusually long 16 years as ambassador in Moscow until 1980.Technics lly retired, he still acts as a n adviser to the Canadian government and recently served as a member of the independent commission on security and disarmament headed by newly elected Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme.Aid programs confusing, need a single office BECANCOUR, Que.(CP) — The president of Quebec’s industrial development agency says the province shells out too many grants to industries rather than concentrating on certain sectors.Francois Lebrun, head of the Société de développement industriel du Quebec for the past 18 months, said that the problem with government aid is that there’s too many programs."We’re going to have to put some order into these existing progrms in order to better help those we want to help,” Lebrun said in an interview Wednesday while visitng the industrial park in this city 140 kilometres northeast of Montreal.“We’re not excluding the possibility of having a single budget for these programs.We are also suggesting to cabinet that those in charge of the different programs in the same region work under the same roof.” The agency is now represented in five or six regions, but Lebrun plans to set up shop in all regional offices of the Department of Industry and Commerce.CHANGE EMPHASIS During the coming years, Lebrun said, the agency will continue to give priority to grants in new investments — but with an emphasis on high technology and those industries which use new technology.The second priority, just begun by the SDI, will be help for firms exporting outside of Quebec, complementary to the federal Export Development Corp.Yukon economy troubles may drop population 25 % OTTAWA (CP) - The Yukon is in danger of losing one-quarter of its population this winter as residents flee the economic devastation, Government Leader Chris Pearson said Wednesday.Pearson, who has met seven key federal cabinet ministers this week, said the territory needs about $12 million in emergency aid to get through the next few months.About 800 winter jobs would be created with the money, which would be combined with an equal amount scraped together from the territory’s budget, he told reporters.He said he received no commitment of aid from any of the ministers, and warned that many workers will leave forever within weeks if they know there’s no chance of help.“I don’t think the Yukon would be the place to spend the winter unemployed if they don’t have to,” Pearson said.But Northern Affairs Minister John Munro said he expects most of the Yukon’s short-term needs can be met through existing programs in his ministry and the departments of Employment and Regional Economic Expansion.KEY PROBLEM The major problem, he said, is finding an acceptable federal aid program for the Cyprus Anvil lead-zinc-silver mine at Faro.The mine, the economic cornerstone of the Yukon, announced this month it will extend its summer shutdown through the winter.As a result, the White Pass railway announced it must close for the winter, and other ripple effects have been disastrous in a territory with only 25,000 residents.Plastic and metal heart ready for human implant CHICAGO (AP) — Doctors are preparing to implant motorized artificial hearts made of plastic and metal in humans, University of Utah researchers say.The device, called the Jarvik 7 after its designer, Dr.Robert Jarvik, is a dual-chamber plastic and metal engine about the size of two tennis balls.Dr.William DeVries, head of the Utah project, said Tuesday the first Weathe Mostly cloudy with a few showers today, clearing tonight.Friday, sunny with cloudy periods.High today, 18, low tonight, 6.High tomorrow, 20.human use of the heart could come at any time.“The operation could come within a month or six months,” DeVries, who will implant the heart, told a seminar sponsored by the American Medical Association and the University of Illinois.“It all hinges on finding the right patient.” DeVries said the first patient not only has to have a medical condition for which the U.S.Food and Drug Administration has approved the device, but must meet the criteria of the university.Aside from being evaluated for a failing heart and no other medical complications, the patient must have a history of co-operation with doctors and belong to a family willing to go through months of the special care required, he said.“We also want an idea of how he will adapt to the publicity that will surround the heart.” The Utah device is considered one of the most advanced artificial hearts in the world, specialists say.___fagl racora George MacLaren, Publisher .569 9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-6345 Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager .569-9525 Mark Guillette, Press Superintendent .569-9931 Richard Lessard,

ruins and the kind of reforms needed to restore it are unacceptable to Soviet authorities.— Rule by a military junta is an embarrassment as it goes against the orthodox view that power should rest with the Communist party.— The Soviet Union dounts the ability of Polish authorities to maintain order or the lines of communication to East Germany which are essential to Soviet security in Eastern Europe.As to the influence which the Roman Catholic Church, so strong in Poland, might have on Soviet attitudes, Ford said Soviet authorities hate Catholics and Jews above all other religious groups because of their international ties and organizations.The idea of a Polish pope must be galling to them and were Russia to invade Poland, "I doubt they would attempt to destroy the Polish church but they would give it a rough time.” LEADERS IN CONTROL A Polish-style uprising may yet occur in Romania or East Germany or other East European states but it’s out of the question in the Soviet Union itself, he said.Changes there, if and when they come, will be imposed from the top as they have always been.The Soviet occupation of Afghanistan is more serious than Poland in a way, Ford said.The 1979 military invasion there constituted the first Soviet sortie outside the Soviet block since the 1940s.And it was justified by a claim that not only does the Soviet Union have a right to interfere in a Communist state to support the government but it also has a similar right to intervene in bordering countries which pose a security problem for the U.S.S.R.Afghanistan, the general picture in Eastern Europe, Russia’s economic problems, the difficulties associated with finding a successor to ailing president Leonid Brezhnev, the collapse of detente and the nuclear arms question make for a shaky and fragile future.“We must look forward to a long period of confrontation,” which should be met by the West with some military strength — “not too much” — a calm assessment and better understanding of the Soviet Union.News-in-brief A cardboard conspiracy.Duplessis’ secretary dead at 89 Flash flooding takes its toll MONTREAL (CP) — The union representing striking Quebec cardboard box workers says it has obtained documents which suggest five major Canadian paper companies are conspiring to artificially raise cardboard prices.The Confederation of National Trade Unions says the companies have closed down more than half the carton capacity of Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes in a concerted effort to create an artificial shortage.There is currently no lack of demand for cardboard boxes, the union said."The shutdown and strikes threaten to cause a serious shortage in the packing industry in the short term,” a union statement said.Two documents obtained by the federation, dated Jan.12 and 15, outline an agreement among Domtar, Consolidated-Bathurst, Kruger, Mac-millan-Bloedel and CIP to dissociate carton negotiations from other sectors of the paper industry, the federation said.About 700 workers at Kruger and Standard Paper plants in the Montreal area, whose unions are affiliated to the CNTU, have been on strike for three weeks.The union said the two companies “are refusing to negotiate with the striking workers as a result of this cartel.” Everest climbers race against time MONTREAL (CP) — The rapidly deteriorating state of the Khumbu icefall is forcing eight Canadian climbers to increase their rate of ascent to the peak of Mount Everest, the spokesman in Canada for the expedition said today.Robin Palin said expedition leader Bill March, 41, has decided that no Sherpa guides will reside above Camp Two, established Wednesday at the 6,500-metre level of the 8,848-metre Himalayan mountain.The higher camps will therefore be smaller, allowing the climbers to carry less equipment and move faster.The weather remains clear and cold and snow continues to harden, reducing the risk of avalanches.Stolen highway device radioactive MONTREAL (CP) — A potentially dangerous radiation-emitting device was one of several articles stolen from a Quebec road construction site over the weekend, police said Wednesday.Quebec provincial police and the Quebec Transport Department warned that the nucleo-densimeter could be fatal if it is crushed and its radioactive materials handled.The nucleo-densimeter — about the size of a large shoe box — was being used on a road construction site near Chicoutimi, 150 kilometres north of Quebec City.The device, stolen from a locked storage cabin, is used to measure the density and humidity of materials by emitting a radioactive beam.The strength of the beam is measured as it emerges from the material.Maple farmers want own board DRUMMONDVILLE, Que.(CP) — The Quebec Federation of Maple Syrup Producers has asked a provincial agency to approve the creation of a joint maple marketing board that would be controlled by farmers.In a brief submitted here Wednesday to the Quebec Agricultural Marketing Board, the federation said its proposed board would study present and future market conditions and promote the sale of maple products.Now that producers are replacing the traditional taps and sap buckets with new technology, they need commercial means to improve their sales, the brief said.RCMP Chamberland’s trial is off ST.JEAN, Que.(CP) Sessions Judge Jean Frederick ruled Wednesday that there is not enough evidence to proceed with a trial for RCMP Sgt.Normand Chamberland, charged with stealing 56 sticks of dynamite from a construction firm in 1972.Similar charges against other RCMP officers — Const.Richard Daigle, Sgt.Bernard Dubuc, and former Staff Sgt.Donald McCleery — were also dismissed following the Chamberland decision, said court clerk Albert O’Cain.In a 20-page judgment, Frederick dismissed the charge against Chamberland as unfounded because of lack of evidence over where and when the alleged theft took place and conflicting testimony over the quantity of explosive stolen Chamberland faced a preliminary hearing last month.Chalk up another one for Que QUEBEC (CP) — An internal document prepared for the Quebec Intergovernmental Affairs Department claims another round in the game of oneupmanship with Ottawa over recognition at international conferences.The document, signed by Jacques Brind’Amour, economic director of the department, says Quebec representatives at a United Nations conference on acid rain held in Stockholm last June upstaged the Canadian delegation by intervening and speaking as a participating state.Despite objections from the Canadian delegation, the document says, the Quebec environment minister at that time, Marcel Leger, managed to speak to the conference."The federal government, being unable to prevent Quebec from intervening, forced the New Brunswick environment minister to do so, even though he didn’t want to,” the document says.TROIS-RIVIERES, Que.(CP) — Aurea Cloutier, private secretary to former Quebec premier Maurice Duplessis, died in hospital here Wednesday after a lengthy illness.She was 89.It was said of Cloutier that Duplessis, founder of the Union Nationale party, trusted her so much she wielded more influence than a cabinet minister.She was born in Iron Mountain, Mich., but moved with her father to Trois-Rivieres in 1898 where she later got her first job as secretary to Duplessis’s father, a judge.Operation Dismantle sues Sun OTTAWA (CP) — A group advocating worldwide disarmament is suing Toronto Sun Publishing Corp.for $100,000, saying articles published earlier this year by Sun newspapers in Toronto and Calgary were libellous.The articles suggest Operation Dismantle and other groups which have succeeded in getting a disarmament referendum on the ballot for local elections in 118 Canadian municipalities this fall are linked to Communists.Crown corps, can price-fix?OTTAWA (CP) — The Supreme Court of Canada agreed Wednesday to review an Ontario court decision which held that two federal Crown corporations are immune from prosecution on charges of uranium price-fixing.No date was set to hear the appeal of the Supreme Court of Ontario decision last April that Eldorado Nuclear Ltd.and Uranium Canada Ltd.could not be tried along with private companies charged in the case.The court ruled — in a judgment upheld in June by the Ontario Court of Appeal — that federal combines legislation under which the charges were laid does not specify that Crown agents are liable.Canada’s production worst of all OTTAWA (CP) — Economic production has slipped six per cent in Canada since the onset of the recession in mid-1981, the worst performance of any major industrialized country, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.Consumer and business demand has fallen at rates unprecedented in the post-war era, the agency said in its latest monthly economic analysis.Unemployment rate has reached a post-Depression high of 12.2 per cent.Even worse, those weaknesses in the economy are a “self-reinforcing vicious circle,” Statistics Canada added.Farmers prone to lung trouble SASKATOON (CP) — Farmers live with levels of dust and gas that would not be tolerated in other industries and are prone to lung troubles resulting from their unique working environment, a Winnipeg doctor says.Dr.C.P.W.Warren, a respiratory specialist, said farmers are exposed to substances such as grain dust, spores from mouldy hay and toxic gases that can all produce lung problems, but they often are convinced breathing problems are due to agricultural chemicals.Kiddy-sized boxes, eh?TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif.(AP) - Two kindergarten teachers have been told to stop putting their pupils in cardboard boxes as a method of enforcing proper behavior in the classroom.Joe Boeckx, superintendent of the Morongo Unified school district, said he has halted the practice after a parent complained about the “isolation box” type of punishment.Boxes about the same dimensions as a four-drawer file cabinet were used to isolate pupils in two classrooms when they disrupted the teachers and other students at Palm Vista elementary school, Boeckx said Wednesday.School principal Ray Garrett said the boxes, which were open at the top, were used to curb classroom misconduct and for “the betterment of the classes as a whole.” Miss Gay America upsets many CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) — A minister says 40 churches have banded together to protest a planned Miss Gay America pageant because they don’t want Charlotte "to become another San Francisco.” Rev.Joseph Chambers, chairman of Christians for Moral Decency, said his group would hold a rally Saturday about two blocks from Ovens Auditorium, where the transvestite pageant is scheduled.Maria Hudson, director of promotions for the Charlotte Coliseum Authority, said she “personally had hundreds of telephone calls, with people attacking me because the pageant is going to be here.” She said most callers have quoted the Bible.Masked doctor rapes dozens COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A physician who was caught in the apartment of two women with surgical gloves and a ski mask was charged Wednesday with breaking in and raping dozens of women in their homes.Dr.Edward Franklin Jackson, a 38-year-old internist who served on a hospital board, was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on 36 counts of rape and 46 counts of aggravated burglary.The crimes took place over a period of seven years.Authorities said a man who looks like Jackson was imprisoned five years ago for two of the attacks and a prosecutor said he thought the prisoner now would be freed.SAN SALVADOR (AP) - Flash Hooding that killed at least 586 people during four days of torrential rains also destroyed $250 million in crops, roads and buildings in this war-ravaged Central American country, officials reported Wednesday.Authorities in neighboring Guatemala said the death toll there from storm-related deaths also continued to climb.They gave no figure, but newspapers estimated as many as 400 people may have died.Mass protest in Buenos Aires BUENOS AIRES (AP) - About 20,000 people gathered in the main square Wednesday to shout anti-government slogans — the largest mass protest since the Argentine military took power in 1976.The regime, which has put down previous attempts at such rallies, deployed thousands of police around the downtown Plaza de Mayo, but made no effort to prevent the demonstration.The rally was organized by the Geheral Labor Confederation, which tried to mount a similar protest March 30.That attempt produced running battles between some 10,000 would-be demonstrators and a like number of police who used rubber bullets, tear gas, horses and clubs to prevent access to the plaza.More than 2,000 people were arrested.Tass calls NBC special ‘foul’ MOSCOW (Reuter) — The Soviet news agency Tass has branded as lies an NBC television program which alleged that Moscow was behind last year’s assassination attempt on Pope John Paul.The NBC documentary, broadcast Tuesday night, said there is evidence the Turkish gunman who shot the Pope, Mehmet Ali Agca, was trained and financed by Soviet and Bulgarian agents.Iran celebrates 2nd anniversary NICOSIA (AP) — Iran says an Iraqi MiG-25 jet fighter tried to bomb Tehran on Wednesday as Iran marked the second anniversary of the Iran-Iraq war with a military parade in the capital.The official Iranian news agency IRNA said the Iraqi plane entered Iranian air space, but prompt reaction by Iranian jets fighters forced it to flee before reaching the skies over Tehran.Iraq marked the second anniversary of the war on Sept.4, stressing the war broke out as a result of Iranian artillery shelling and air space violations by Iran on that date in 1980.Odinga Jr.charged with treason NAIROBI (AP) — The son of former vice-president Ajuma Oginga Odinga was charged with treason Wednesday for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the government at the time of the Aug.1 coup attempt.Raila Odinga, a government-employed engineer, appeared in Nairobi’s chief magistrate’s court along with Dr.Alfred Otieno, dean of the University of Nairobi’s engineering department, who also was charged with treason.Both were remanded to police custody until another court appearance Oct.6.Full dissolution of Solidarity?WARSAW (Reuter) — The Polish government newspaper indicated Wednesday the authorities are considering the full dissolution of the independent trade union Solidarity, suspended with the imposition of martial law last December.The daily Rzeczpospolita said Solidarity has become associated with conspiratorial underground activity, illegal leaflets, intimidation of loyal citizens and sabotage.“Today Solidarity is also associated with a group of emigres bent on close co-operation with NATO intelligence and the extreme anti-Polish right wing in West Germany,” it added “Can one imagine that one fine day a trade union with such an over-loaded name will simply re-appear as if nothing had ever haorened in public life?” Death toll grows in Beirut BEIRUT ( Reuter) — A total of 293 bodies have so far been recovered from the rubble of the Chatilla and Sabra refugee camps in West Beirut, International Red Cross officials said Wednesday.They said rescue teams had picked up 229 bodies and 64 others had been removed by relatives since work started Sunday.Most estimates of the total number killed range between 300 and 1,500, although Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, has said up to 3,200 may have died in the massacre.The Red Cross officials said they had stopped trying to identify bodies because after four or more days in the sun they were unrecognizable.Arabs hold U.S.responsible TUNIS (Reuter) — Arab foreign ministers meeting in emergency session on Wednesday said the massacre of Palestinian refugees in Beirut was possible because of U.S.“material, moral, military and political support for Israel.” Delegates to the Arab League Council meeting, requested by the Palestine Liberation Organization, issued their condemnation of the U.S.in a final resolution.But delegates did not agree on further action other than a collective protest by Arab ambassadors to Washington and a warning that U.S.persistence in “supporting Israel’s war machinery” could only undermine the credibility of its policy.» I The Townships The KKL'OKD—Thursday, September £1, 1982—3 —________ttgl uecora U.S.Customs Service quotas means rigorous car-searches at border By Merritt Clifton RICHFORD — If you’ve been subjected to an unusually rigorous car-search and identity-check while crossing the U.S.border recently, you’re not alone.Since September 1, the U.S.Customs Service has required iaspectors to make a minimum number of seizures of undeclared goods per week, or come under administrative scrutiny.The quota system is similar to one applied to refusals-of-entry for suspected illegal immigrants in other parts of the United States.The National Treasury Employees Union, representing many inspectors, has objected to the quota system as unfair and likely to harm friendship between the U.S.and Canada.The amount of seizures an inspector makes can vary greatly from post to post and shift to shift.Finding illegal merchandise is common at major crossings such as Philtipsburg-to-St.-Albans and Derby Line-lo-Newport, but relatively uncommon at crossings used only by local residents.Further opposition comes from Vermont Congressman James Jeffords.“I think any time you have a quota system, it's bad,” Jefferds says.The Reagan administration has been attempting to visibly crack down on smuggling and illegal immigration to combat criticism from U.S.trade unions, which claim foreign merchandise and immigrant workers are taking jobs away from their members.Although drug seizures have increased since the quota system was instituted, U.S.Customs officials state that this is only an incidental result of doing more car searches, adding that suspected drug trafficking was not the major reason for the quotas.Off-the-record, customs officials add that searching friends and neighbors at minor crossings brings more embarrassment than economically significant discoveries.Their advice to Canadian visitors is to be patient and wait until the policy changes.Meanwhile, carry appropriate identification, the keys to your trunk, and remember to declare everything dutiable.E.T.Katimavik: Kids’ the kids get a chance to learn more experience rare and precious Regional Katimavik representative Christian Rouleau discusses project with Cowansville organizer Don Oliver and Sherbrooke group leader Katherine Peters.By Michael McDevitt SHERBROOKE — The Katimavik program has come to the Eastern Townships to sponsor English language groups in Quebec for the first time.Katimavik, funded entirely by the federal government, is a community works project which provides labor for non-profit organizations, and at the same time offers valuable experience to its young participants.According to Katimavik representative for southern Quebec Christian Rouleau, the purpose of the program is two-fold : “First of all we are interested in helping out non-profit organizations that have useful projects in mind, but don’t have the necessary resources to carry them out.We can provide the labor if they can provide whatever materials and on-the-job supervision required.But at least as important is the educational opportunities it provides for the kids involved.” The ‘labor’ Rouleau refers to are young people between the ages of 17 and 21 from all over Canada who have signed up for a nine-month period, and who will spend three months in each of three provinces doing work for locally-sponsored projects.Each groups of about 12 youths share living quarters and responsibilities and get a chance to meet and work with other young people from different backgrounds.“We try to have the groups represent the demographic profile of the country, with regard to sex, language, cultural background etc,” says Rouleau “and that way about the country and themselves.” "For many it’s the first time they‘'ve been away from home, and they learn a lot about getting along with others, co-operation and life in general." The groups involved in the Townships area are three in number, and will be working out of Sherbrooke, Stanbridge East and Cowansville and each group is sponsored by local organizations.“It’s a lot of work,” concedes Bob Cageorge of the Sherbrooke Kiwanis Club which is sponsoring the Sherbrooke group,” but we are interested in doing community service, and this looks like a good way to do it.“We’re putting about $13,000 into it, as well as the time it takes, but it should be a good experience for everybody involved,” Cageorge says that each youth has a local contact he or she can get in touch with if anything comes up that the group can’t handle, of if they just need someone to talk to.“Each participant will be spending three weeks of their stay in the area with the contact family to give everybody a bettere chance to get to know one another better, " he adds.The jobs the youths will be working on very from painting churches to helping out at schools to fixing parks and campgrounds.In Stanbridge East, for example, the groups will be helping out the Missisquoi Historical Society in arranging its archives.Julie Boyle, an 18-year-old from Ottawa who will be working in Stanbridge East, says she first heard about Katimavik from her mother who works for the Department of National Defence.“I'm looking forward to the experience,” she says.“It gives me a chance to see other parts of the country as well as giving me experience." She says just learning to live with 11 other people, and to co-operate with one another is worthwhile in itself.The fact that jobs are scarce may be one reason why over 25,000 Canadian youths filled out applications for Katimavik, but financial gain is definitely not their reward.“They give us a dollar a day, and pay most of our basic expenses,” says Boyle.“If we last the whole nine months, we get $1,000 at the end.But that’s it.” Raelynn McKenzie from St.Mark, Saskatchewan, says her main motivation for signing up was the chance to travel cheaply and to improve her knowledge of French.“I was in Quebec for an immersion course earlier this year, and I wanted a chance to practice my French.” she says.Phillip Villemure, 21, from Montreal, says he applied because he wanted to something “a little different, adventurous.” Boyle says the opportunity to learn or improve a second language is one of the prime reasons many people choose to join up.“In the group I’m in, there are six or seven who speak only English and about four who speak only French.I'm the only one w'ho's bilingual so I do a lot of translating, but people are already beginning to work it out for themselves ” Monica Yapp, group leader for the Stanbridge East group, agrees.“When I was a participant I hardly knew any French at all, but now I’m reasonably bilingual.” Yapp participated in the project five years ago, and says she always kept it in the back of her mind to come back as a group leader."I really enjoyed it when I first did it,” she says, “and so I figures it would be a good thing to come back.” As a group leader Yapp is responsible for running the day-to-day affairs of the group, including “strict” budgeting, planning and general supervision of the group.“There’s a lot to be done,” she says, “writing monthly reports and things like that, but it’s well worth it.” Rouleau says the groups are pretty much left alone to structure who’ll do what and household duties, and he says there are only five regulations that must be adhered to.“First it is absolutely forbidden for anyone to take or be in possession of illegal drugs.There can be no underage drinking, and no alcohol abuse in general.” “We don’t allow anyone to hitchhike, and the male and female participants have to be segregated with regard to sleeping arrangements.Finally, everybody has to do their fair share of the work.” Rouleau says experience has taught him that about 80 per cent of the work they do serves some useful social function, but says the work itself is only part of the benefit of the Katimavik program.“The really valuable part of this program is the part that I can’t show you,” he says, “but the experience that these kids share is a rare and precious one.” The Katimavik workers will be doing their bit in the Townships area for three months, and the projects they’ll be working on are numerous.In Sherbrooke they'll be renovating the Mackey Centre Camp, painting the inside of the Plymouth-Trinity Church as well as working for the YMCA both at their camp and at the Y centre in Sherbrooke, where they will participate in animation on a learn-as-you-work basis.The same applies in the Cowansville region where that group will be painting churches, renovating old buildings, doing library cataloging and other useful community work.After leaving the Townships the groups will be going to another province where the process will be repeated.After that, the groups will spend the last three months of their stay with Katimavik undergoing basic military training with the Canadian Armed Forces.When applying for the program, the individual can express a willingness, or unwillingness to undergo training and groups are arranged so that they will stay together.Those groups who choose not to do the “boot camp’ ’ aspect of the program continue doing community work.Katimavik organizers were encouraged to set up English language groups in Quebec by the Townshippers Association, which heard about the program from association member Peter Dobbin, who, in turn, had contacts with French-language projects.The Townshippers have since acted as an intermediary, holding an information meeting for local anglophone non-profit organizations, and generally acting as mutual contact between organizers and potential sponsors.“It seemed obvious to us that we were the ones best equipped to do this,” says Townshippers president Marjorie Goodfellow, “since we already have contacts with all the organizations most likely to participate and benefit from a program like this.” Right now the groups are busy setting up housekeeping and generally settling in, preparing for the three months work which they begin on Monday.Katimavik will be spending about $70,000 for each group in the area, and has a national budget of $13,000,000 covering 350 groups, 35 of which are in the province of Quebec.Kl CORD/IM RK> HI: A ION rr&ï.^ .The Katimavik program sponsors local community Don Oliver, Katherine

CLSCs plan cancer information clinics Cancer has become the most serious threat to the health of modern women.Cancers of the breast and cervix are regarded as the worst enemies, in part because so many women are embarrassed to discuss these illnesses and hesitate to report symptoms to their doctors.The CLSC La Chaumière in Asbestos has recognized this problem in their area and in collaboration with Cyto-Quebec is organizing a series of clinics designed to inform women on breast and cervical cancer.A resource person will be on hand to explain symptoms and methods of treatment.A member of the CLSC medical staff will carry out individual examinations and explain self-examination methods to each patient.Follow-up on these examinations will be done by the CLSC doctors, and by a specialist should this be necessary.This is the first year that La Chaumière has organized this type of clinic, and the staff is hoping for a large turnout.A good response from local women is necessary to ensure that this project will be repeated in future years.These clinics are specifically aimed at women outside Asbestos and will be held at St.Georges de Windsor (September 27), Wotton (September 28), Danville (September 29), Ham Sud and St.Camille (September 30) and St.Adrien de Ham (October 1).If you live any of these areas, set aside some time during the week to attend the clinic.Call the CliSC La Chaumière at 879-7181 for exact times and locations.+ + + We have also received a notice this week from the Adult Education department of the Eastern Townships Regional School Board.In
