Many of the 3.6 million households that receive family allowance payments every month have more than a passing interest in the renewed debate on whether the program should remain universal.The 37-year-old program now provides some $2.2 billion in extra income to help parents bear the cost of raising children under 1H The payments are taxable, and they are paid by Ottawa regardless of family income.The latest available figures show Ottawa is paying benefits to 3.6 million families on behalf of 68 million children.Taxation statistics are out of date, but they show that close to half of all benefits once went to families with gross incomes of $20,(XK) a year or more.Householders in most parts of the country receive $26.91 a month this year for every child under 18.Rates in Alberta and Quebec are different at the request of the two provincial governments.but the money still comes from Ottawa and the total amount paid out still works out to an average $26.91 a child.Rates in Quebec are based both on the age of the child and the number of children in a family.The province also has its own family allowance program to supplement the federal program.In Quebec, the federal contribution to the program is $16.15 for the first child in a family, $25.65 for the second and $62.43 for a third or subsequent child.In addition, Ottawa pays another $6.73 a month for every child 12 through 17 regardless of the number of children in the family.Ethnic leaders outraged over 4 Who’s who’ MONTREAL (CP) - Quebec ethnic leaders expressed outrage Wednesday over a provincial Immigration ; Department list of prominent immigrants that bears annotations on ' their political affiliations and, in a few ; cases, brushes with the law.As well, Liberal national assembly i member Michel Gratton called for the resignation of Immigration Minister Gerald Godin, although the list had been prepared for Godin’s predecessor, Jacques Couture, a Jesuit priest now doing missionary work in Malagasy.In Ottawa, federal Consumer Affairs Minister Andre Ouellet told reporters: “It could be a mistake, but it indicates a state of mind and Mr.Godin owes it to himself to put the people who are responsible for it in their place.” If he does not take such action, Ouellet said, those who compiled the list might do it again.Premier Rene Levesque, however, dismissed the swell of controversy over the list as “a tempest in a teapot.” Godin said that while all copies would be destroyed, he wouldn’t take action against Michel Beaubien, the political aide who drew up the list for Couture and now works for Godin.Donat Taddeo, mentioned in the inch-thick document as a former Liberal candidate, Catholic school board councillor and leader of an Italian education pressure group, said Wednesday that as current director of the Liberals' ethnic commission he knows of no similar lists being used by his party.‘MUST MAKE DISTINCTION’ “What you have to do here is make a distinction between a partisan political party having a list — that’s fine, that’s part of the game — and the government having one,” Taddeo said.“That’s a breach of democracy, because you’re on the verge of subverting the democratic process.” Taddeo asserted that the list was used to name PQ supporters to government committees — a charge that has been denied by Godin.The file evoked memories of the Centre d'analyse et de documentation, an information-gathering apparatus set up by former Liberal premier Robert Bourassa.Levesque shrugged off the Centre as a “glorified clipping service" after his Parti Québécois came to power in 1976 In opposition, the PQ had lambasted the Liberals for compiling information Gerald Godin.resignation called for.on individuals and supposed subversive groups during the early 1970s, when Quebec was wracked by nationalist terrorism and violent labor conflicts.But it took Levesque till March, 1977, to officially preside over the shredding of files on 30,000 individuals that had been accumulated by a team responsible only to Bourassa.FILES TURNED OVER At the time, Levesque said the remaining files on various organizations would be turned over to the Direction generale de sécurité publique, an office connected with the Justice Department.A spokesman for Justice Minister Marc-André Bedard said Wedneday the remaining files “have been rotting in a locked storeroom for six years" in a government building in Quebec City.“They're part of the furniture.They were never used because we never felt the need ” Fernand Lalonde, a former Bourassa cabinet minister, said he agreed the Justice Department or police departments should be able to gather certain information “But what we re talking about here is a list noting people's political affiliations that is in a minister's office." Rene Levesque.it's a tempest in a teapot.Lalonde said.“It doesn’t deal with national security.It’s strictly for political use.It’s disgusting.” Beaubien, who drew up the list in 1979, has said the document was necessary because Couture had little knowledge of different ethnic community leaders and groups working on immigration.Godin, who represents the largely ethnic Montreal riding of Mercier and is considered to have good contacts with immigrant community leaders, said he had never even seen the list until he learned about it from reporters earlier this week.The Montreal Gazette says the list was used by Parti Québécois workers during the campaign for the 1980 sovereignty-association referendum In its Thursday edition, the newspaper quotes an unidentified cabinet aide as saying “at least 100 copies" of the list were sent to PQ workers campaigning for the ‘Yes’ side in about 30 Montreal-area ridings “We used it as a guide,” said The Gazette quotes the aide as saying “Basically it told us who not to waste our time on,” the aide said, adding that in late 1979.PQ and ‘Yes’ organizers planned to blitz Quebec minority groups on the sovereignty-association issue.Quebecers voted by a margin of 60-40 against the Parti Québécois government’s request for a mandate to negotiate political sovereignty coupled with economic association with the rest of Canada Diego Bronzati, listed in the list as having been expelled from an immigrant organization for being unable to account for a government subsidy, says a group he led later received more than $100,000 in grants.The document refers to Bronzati as being an Italian in Canada since 1952.“President for a number of years — until 1977 — of the Italian Federation of Foreign Workers and their Families, from which he was expelled, supposedly for not being able to account for the use of a government subsidy,” Bronzati’s entry in the list read.“Member of (Quebec’s) Consultative Committee on Immigration (1977-78).President-founder of the Union of Immigrant Workers of Quebec (1978).Member of Italian and Canadian Communist parties.Sovereignist.” Bronzati, a 55-year-old elevator repairman, said Wednesday “it’s all false.” Complete receipts were provided to the Immigration Department for the $1,500 subsidy his group received in 1978, he said, adding that he believes he was ousted from the Italian foreign workers’ federation — which included a number of Italian Communists — because he refused to drop his Canadian Communist party membership Dual memberships are forbidden by virtually all national Communist parties As leader of the Union of Immigrant Workers, Bronzati recieved organizational subsidies of $38.000 a year over three years from 1978 to 1981 from the department “If someone thought I was stealing money they wouldn’t have given me any more.” Bronzati said he found the listing of ethnic leaders “really disgusting ” “I left a country where fascism was in place for decades I thought this was a country of liberty.” Bronzati said he had no idea where the aide to Couture got the information used to draw up the listing.Michel Beaubien, now an aide to Couture's successor, Gerald Godin, has said it came from press clippings Dramatic rescue?X l l KfcCORD/CH ARLtS BURY .no, practice run The sirens wailed; rescue was on the way for a would-be suicide jumper on top of the Nock Lores!

The Steelworkers also raised questions about the future of Schefferville in May, 1981, when the company permanently closed its concentrating and pelletizing plant in Sept-Ilea which had until then processed its ore.The plant employed 600 "They told us not to worry, that Schefferville would now produce strictly raw material " Iron Ore officials have been difficult to reach throughout the layoff announcement.Company offices referred all reporters to Maltais, whose secretary said Wednesday he was unreachable until next week.The company has also refused to divulge profit figures for the current year despite considerable discrepancies published in newspaper reports.The shares of Iron Ore, owned jointly by seven U S and Ontario corporations, are not publicly traded.News-in-brief WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.

environmental group said Wednesday.Crew members John Castle of England and Chris Robinson of Australia were held for 24 hours and signed an agreement that they would not return to French Polynesia.The

furniture industry jobs await government okay By Charles Bury ASCOT TOWNSHIP - Slow govern ment response to a request for help is keeping a fast growing local company from putting more than too unemployed furniture-industry employees back to work "right away" and from becoming Quebec's largest furniture maker Shermag Inc .an Ascot-based wood furniture manufacturing industry which has kept its order books full right through the current depression, has purchased the assets ot the Marius Ouellet division of the bankrupt Kadisson Industries Main Ouellet asset is its Disraeli factory which employed up to 150 workers before Kadisson s financial troubles began early this year The company finally w ent broke in July.Now Shermag.owned by Sherbrooke area businessmen Serge Racine, president.John Flowers and Gilles Sirois.wants to get the Disraeli plant going again but the firm is waiting for the go aliead of the federal government on a Department of Regional Economic Expansion iDHKK' grant."Right now they're holding up too jobs in Disraeli." says a company source "We are only waiting The whole project hinges on the approval of Dree." Shermag has completed an agreement with the bankrupt Radisson's court-appointed trustee, the Montreal accounting firm Clarkson Gordon, to purchase the Disraeli plant intact An agreement has been signed as well with the union of the former workers Negotiating for the workers is the Marius Ouellet local of the Conseil des syndicats démocratiques (CSD) under president Denis Dion Shermag would employ about 100 of the union members immediately, and put all 150 back on the job "over the next year," according to the source, who asked not to tie named, Shermag was formed in 1977 by the Sherbrooke trio It grew quickly, producing a quality line of wooden household furniture The company recently purchased the defunct Scot stown Furniture and now employs about 120 workers in Scotstown and in its main facility, the former Lionel trailer plant in Ascot Township.Once the Marius Ouellet plant is operating, the firm will be Quebec's "potentially" biggest furniture manufacturer witfc the largest capacity.\s the Shermag team waits out the frustration with the federal government, furniture industry insiders are wondering what is taking Ottawa so long With a proven track record and concrete plans, the Ascot group should bo an ideal target for government aid."In Thetford Mines (not far from Disraeli) they've just laid off another 200," said the Shermag source "We’d put 150 back to work " Give Rand a second chance for MUC bid — G.D.Levesque QUEBEC (CP) - Liberal Leader Gerard D.Levesque has written Premier Rene Levesque to express concern over a decision by the Montreal Urban Community to award a contract for water filtration plant filters to a Japanese firm instead of a Quebec company.In awarding the contract to Marubeni-Kurita instead of the Ingersoll-RAND Canada Inc., the opposition leader said the government was preventing the creation of 150 new' jobs, including 75 in Sherbrooke.“Can I ask you to ensure that the buy-Quebec policy has been respected in this transaction, and that Ingersoll-Rand — which has been established in Quebec for over 100 years — will have the opportunity to present its point of view' to the MUC and the government of Quebec?" Levesque asked Last weekend, the Parti Québécois national council called on the government to re-open tenders for the contract and consider the Quebec content of the bids.The Quebec Federation of Labor, which represents Ingersoll-Rand workers, has also criticized the contract.The Ingersoll-Rand bid promised Quebec content of 90 per cent, while Marubeni-Kurita anticipated 65 per cent.Ingersoll-Rand ran a full page newspaper advertisement this week setting out its case and saying that if it got the contract, the company's Sherbrooke operation could become a major high-technology centre.PHOTO/SANDY WOUtrSKY Smorgasbord of careers to choose Students from the Townships hud a sneak preview of what they 're headed for as Champlain and Bishop's hosted their annual Careers Day yesterday.Busloads from local high schools arrived at the student pub to hear advice on a variety of careers from chiropracters and RCMD officers to broadcast journalists.Several universities were also represented at the event.O’Bready,Pelletier wasting time with mudslinging-Duquette Real Duquette.O'Bready and Delletier wasting time and avoiding important issues.By Michael McDevitt SHERBROOKE -

Voters in the U.S.New England states, pinched by recession and by redistricting, strayed only slightly from their traditional support of Democratic politicians in congressional voting Tuesday.Some of the most revealing voting trends came from the welter of proposals tacked on to ballots that had nothing to do with electing politicians.For example.New Englanders strongly signalled their wish for the superpowers — the U.S.and the Soviet Union — to curb the arms race.In Maine, early returns also showed an inclination to shut down the main Yankee nuclear power station in a move of potential great significance for future power «des from eastern Canadian stations There was one surprise in the governors' races, as Republican challenger John Sununu upset two-term governor of New Hampshire, Hugh Gallen But in a state, bordering Canada, that imposes neither income tax nor sales tax.analysts claimed Gallen's refusal to pledge never to introduce taxes likely cost him re-election Some familiar faces — all Democratic — swept easily back to power.Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy, possibly tuning up for a 1984 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, won easily over Republican businessman Richard Shamie.Kennedy immediately tried to east his win as a victory over conservative Reagan administration economic policies.“I think it's not just the re-election of a candidate, but I felt the people of Massachusetts were speaking very clearly on asking for an alternative economic program and also for some sensible policy-on the arms race," Kennedy said in a televised interview.SLOW ARMS RACE Massachusetts was one of nine states where ballots carried a proposal for limiting production and stockpiling of nuclear arms by the U.S.and the Soviet Union - and it «as strongly endorsed Rhode Island voters approved a similar proposal, by an equally lopsided margin In a U.S region beset by the problem of destructive acid rain much as southwestern regions of Canada are, some key Democratic incumbents won re-election.In Maine, for example.Senator George Mitchell prevailed And in Vermont, Robert Stafford.Democratic chairman of the Senate environment committee, was returned.The proposal in Maine to shut down the state's Yankee nuclear power plant by 1987 was a keenly watched one in Canada The plant produces about one-third of the state’s power and a move to shut it down could open a U.S.market for surplus power from Canadian sources like the Point Lepreau, N.B., nuclear plant.Some ot the most closely scrutinized congressional races in the country were in New England One was in a newly drawn district in Massachusetts, created by redrawing boundary ^ lines to reflect population shifts after the 1980 census, where two incumbent members of the U S House of Representatives were pitted against one another When the smoke cleared and votes were counted.Democrat Barney Frank had defeated Republican Margaret Heckler.The two spent an estimated $2 million blasting one another in a closely fought, often bitter, contest.In a key Connecticut race, moderate Republican Senator Lowell Weicker held off Democrat Toby Moffett, a member of the House of Representatives seeking to move up to the Senate.Weicker, while campaigning, frequently criticized Reagan administration social policies for being excessively conservative.Rare among Republicans, Weicker is also considered an environmentalist in Congress Another moderate Republican senator, John Chafee, w as barely holding off a strong bid to take his seat by Democrat Julius Michaelson Like Weicker, Chafee is generally seen as a moderating influence in Congress, more likely to side with measures aimed at protecting the environment than many more hawkish Republicans.Maryland remained staunchly Democratic, returning Gov.Harry Hughes as well as incumbent Democratic Senator Paul Sarbanes The pattern of Maryland voting was much the same as in other parts of the eastern states, wrapping it up quickly and decisively in favor of Democratic candidates Tht* KK('0|{|>—Htui MlHV, November 4, liisa—5 Farm and Business —_____gyji ¦GBCOIU Robot works at superhuman rates in B.C.factory VANCOUVER iCP> - Robot The word conjures up fantastic images of androgynous androids and metal-clad monsters straight out of the pages of science fiction.The reality is somewhat less romantic.Working robots have arrived, but in a form few people would recognize.Here in British Columbia, Cominco Ltd has installed a robot at its lead-zinc operations in Trail The 1.8-metre conglomeration of metal and wires welds together two huge aluminum plates, creating a cathode.Working at the superhuman rate of 120 cathodes a shift, the robot is building 27,000 units for a new electrolytic and melting plant.The company is more than satisfied with the robot's performance, says John Turnbull, vice-president of modernization.So much so they bought a second $85,000 unit from the Cincinnati Milacron, the U.S.manufacturer.The union says increased automation usually means fewer jobs, but in this case the robot has actually created four full-time positions, while eliminating one FEARS GROUNDLESS Fears that robots in the workplace will cause mass unemployment are groundless, says Keith McPherson, head of the Western Foundation for Advanced Industrial Technology Besides, says McPherson, Canadian businesses have little choice.Without robots and similar automation, Canadian goods will soon be priced out of the international market, and that will create bankruptcies and mass unemployment.Martin Wedepohl, dean of applied sciences at the University of B.C., says robots will create more jobs than they eliminate.“When computers were first introduced to the marketplace, people worried that they would increase unemployment,” says Wedepohl, a founding member of the Western Foundation “That's not the case at all.“In fact, the computer field is probably the fastest growing job market in the world right now."And so it will be with robots This industry will create a new category of jotxs that 1 haven't even thought of yet." Although the use of robots in manufacturing is relatively new in North America, the first industrial robot was designed more than 20 years ago by UnimaUon Inc of Connecticut, one of the world's largest robot manufacturers The idea was slow to catch on in the U S., but it attracted the interest of the Japanese, who obtained the rights to Unimation s device and developed it.Japan now lias lO.OOO industrial robots to America's 3.500 Canada lags far behind with about 200, of which most are used in the Ontario automotive plants.William Cameron, a mechanical engineer who worked with robots in Japan in the late 1960s, said the Japanese were forced to develop robots at a rapid rate because of conditions created when they aggressively sought a place in the international high technology market Bagnoli steel workers won’t fight NAPLES, Italy iReuter' — Steel has been made in the Bagnoli w orks in a decaying seaside suburb of Naples for more than 70 years, and its workers are determined that they will not become victims of the global crisis in the industry.City officials and union leaders, suspicious of government intentions, are fighting plans for its temporary shutdown.They fear this could destroy 20,000 jobs in work-starved Naples.The Bagnoli Steelworks, a few kilometres from the city centre, employs about 8.000 people and officials say at least another 12,000 work for small local suppliers.Bagnoli looks its age.Its antiquated rolling mills are officially described as highly obsolete, and output is half its two million-ton-a-year capacity because of slack demand Outside, cars are parked randomly across the trolley tracks of Via Bagnoli because the trolleys no longer run that way.The piers jutting out into the Bay of Naples are empty.For the past month, the ore and coal carriers have stayed away because the plant is now using only its remaining stocks of raw materials.With Europe's steel industry ravaged by recession and forced last week to accept a cut in its share of the U .S.market to 5.75 per cent for the next three years compared with 6.3 per cent in 1981, Bagnoli looks a likely candidate for closing.FACE DISASTER But for Naples, which has an official jobless total of 180,000 out of a 1.2 million population, closing would be a disaster, says Pasquale Mangiapia, a city councilman and Bagnoli steelworker.Joslin.I'm just a poor country hoy.GM doesn’t like Joslin’s selling methods .V-'' WILL1AMSTON, Mich.tAP) - Working from an empty showroom surrounded by an empty lot, with only himself and “two old guys” as salesmen, Josh Joslin sells cars for $49 over cost.Unfortunately, he says, General Motors Corp doesn't seem to like the approach.GM’s Chevrolet Division sent him three cars for November after he promised his customers he would deliver 136.The veteran Chevy dealer says he may go to court to try to force the automaker to ship him the cars he needs."This has been a nightmare,” the white-haired Joslin lamented."I’m just a poor country boy trying to sell cars.” Joslin said he suspects pressure from other dealers is behind the unfilled orders from GM.“It’s really screwed up my business at this point,” he said.“1 think they meant to do that.” But Dick Higgenbotham, local Chevrolet zone manager, said the company is "absolutely" not punishing Joslin, and that he is treated the same as other dealers.At Joslin Chevrolet, prospective buyers come in and go over specification sheets on new cars and trucks, then place their orders without ever seeing or driving a vehicle.The cars and trucks are supposed to be delivered four to six weeks later, at a price of $49 over the dealer's cost.Customers save $400 to $500 a car in dealer and shipping charges, and, Joslin said, "I can make good money on it.” Car sales across North America are sluggish and there were 556 fewer dealers in the U.S.for all makes doing business in July than in January.But Joslin said response to his no frills approach has been enthusiastic and he lias about 230 orders waiting to be filled.“I think this plan is the wave of the future," he said of his stripped-down dealership.“The car business luis to change.The older way of selling cars isn’t possible." i « , .* Î- r'îf; Market analyst is optimistic about future pork, beef production Growth of pork, beef production predicted Pesticides being studied, taken off the market WINNIPEG (CP) -Rapid expansion of pork and beef production in Western Canada over the next decade has been predicted by a private market analyst.In a report to be released Tuesday, Chase Econometrics Canada said pork production in the west will grow 3.4 per cent a year and beef output will increase 2.1 per cent annually.At the same time, eastern producers will show a lower rate of expansion, at 1.1 per cent a year for pork and 1.9 per cent for beef between 1982 and 1992.Chase, a Toronto-based subsidiary of a large American consulting firm, based its predictions on projections of higher population growth and changes in freight rates for grain.“Eastern Canada will experience slightly higher grain costs as a result of changes in the Crow (freight) rate and this will have some adverse impact on eastern livestock feeders,” the report said.The Crow is a statutory freight rate farmers pay for moving grain.It is several times lower than the actual cost of shipping grain.Changes to the Crow rate structure, reached in consultation with farm groups, have been announced by the federal government but a final decision on who will receive federal transportation subsidies, farmers or railroads, has yet to be made.The main reason given by the firm for increased production in the west is that the east now is a surplus pork production area where demand for pork has stabilized.OTTAWA (CP)-The pesticide chlorbrom-uron is being taken off the market, and special warning labels are being placed on a number of other pesticides because of concerns about their safety, the federal government announced Tuesday.The chemicals are among 113 previously tested by Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories Inc.of Northbrook, 111.The company was subsequently charged in the U S.with falsifying test For results.Chlorbromuron, most often sold under the trade name Maloran, is used by farmers to control weeds.The Health Department said it has insufficient data on its safety to support further use and recommended that it be taken off the market.The Agriculture Department accepted the recommendation and is already notifying officials of the decision.Similar concerns led the Health Department to recommend a ban on the further use of allidochlor, sold under the trade name Randox to kill weeds in onion crops, The Agriculture Department said there are no real substitutes for allidochlor, so the chemical will remain on the market for the time being HUGO STAMP A COIN SHOP The Most Extensive Inventory in the TOWNSHIPS.WVKtWHimGTODtAl Stamps — Coins —

our dearest friends committed suicide.We are in a state of shock.This boy was one of the brightest, sweetest, best-looking, most popular lads in School.He was an achiever, admired, respected and loved He excelled in sports, did not smoke nor drink and, so far as we know, he never messed around with drugs.His parents are inconsolable.They feel that it is their fault for not recognizing signs that their son was deeply troubled.Why would a seemingly happy, well-adjusted, attractive boy with his whole life ahead do such a thing?He left no notes, not a clue.He picked a time when he was alone at home.When his parents returned from an evening out, they found him dead, with a bullet through his head.Can anything be done to prevent such tragedies?— Searching For Answers.Dear Searching: Suicide is second only to accidents as the cause of death among teenagers.The indiscriminate use of drugs is one of the major reasons, but you say this young man was not a user.Something was wrong in the boy’s life.Outward appearances of cheerfulness can be deceiving Unhappy, frustrated and depressed people often learn to mask their feelings well.The boy you write about was one who did.There always are signals.Parents, teachers and close friends should be alert to them.Any mention of suicide or verbalized doubts as to whether life is worth living should not be ignored.An attempt to “put things in order” is another flag.Signs of depression in normally cheerful people are another indication of trouble.Experts on suicide disagree on whether it is preventable.Some wise heads say certain people are programmed at an early age to self-destruct and nothing can stop them - no amount of love, emotional support or caring.I never fail to point this out to parents who view the suicide of their child as a personal failure.Their guilt must be unbearable and it helps to know it wasn't their fault.Dear Ann Landers: When I first read about transvestites in your column (to years ago) I thought those guys had to be crazy.I was also sure I’d be able to spot one a mile away.A few months ago I went to work for an ambulance service.Since that time I have pulled two very macho guys out of wrecked cars.Both were wearing ladies’ underwear.Another surprise - a prominent lawyer had a heart attack.When we arrived he was trying to get out of his satin and lace nightie.It’s like you said, Ann, you never know.— Pop-Eyed In Jacksonville.Dear Pop: Thanks for the validation Dear Ann: Please print something I read in my Al-Anon book tonight.I think it’s beautiful.— Positive Thinker In I^ancaster.Dear Lan: So do I.Here it is: Today is mine.It is unique.Nobody in the world has one exactly like it.It holds the sum of all my past experiences and all my future potential.I can fill it with joyous memories or ruin it with fruitless worry.If painful recollections of the past come into my mind, or frightening thoughts of the future, I can put them away.They cannot spoil today for me.It is mine.Dear Ann: I get awfully tired of hearing women complain that they are being pushed around by men.Please print this anecdote Winston Churchill was once asked by a reporter, “Do you have any comment about the prediction that in the year 2000 women will be ruling the world?" “They still will, eh?" replied Winnie, with a smile.— Middleboro, Ky.Dear Mid: An amusing line, but women are not running the world, nor were they when Winnie was around.Male chauvinist propaganda, my friend —___ KBCOTu social notes 50th anniversary Ward-Sylvester On Saturday, October 15, Glen and Frances
