“Run for your lives.John Turner is coming.'’ Ministers want relaxed trade laws GENEVA (Reuter) — Trade ministers from 88 countries beginning a review of shrinking world trade disagreed Wednesday on whether commercial ties can be liberalized despite rising unemployment At a time of growing protectionism in defence of jobs, most of the day’s 34 speakers at a conference of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) said world markets must be opened to help keep countries from sliding further into recession.But interpretations of such terms as “open market” and “free trade” varied widely, leaving final agreement at the four-day meeting, GATT's first since 1973.still in doubt.Several ministers noted trade fell last year for the first time since 1958, and the industrialized countries now had 30 million unemployed, due at least in part to that fall.Wednesday’s speeches set out positions for the private talks which ministers will be holding to find consensus on a declaration supporting GATT's free trade rules and, if the U.S., Australia and others have their way, expanding them to cover further areas of world commerce.Senior officials of the European Economic Community (EEC), whose subsidies for food exports have become a main target of attack, said some progress might be made after a Common Market council of ministers meeting in Geneva today.AGRICULTURE A TARGET GATT Director-General Arthur Dunkel opened the meeting with a call for agriculture, one of the most highly controlled sectors in world trade, to be brought under GATT rules.His call was echoed by U.S.Trade Representative William Brock, who said farm aids produced wasteful and dangerous competition.Australian Deputy Prime Minister Doug Anthony said: “The sorry story of agriculture is one that the founding fathers of GATT could never have forseen in their most despairing moments.” But the Europeans took a dissenting stand on both food export subsidies and protectionist measures in general, saying attempts to open markets were timed badly since the resulting flood of cheap imports threw even more workers out of a job.Wilhelm Haferkamp, vice-president of the European Commission, the EEC’s executive arm.said the com munity would stand up to protectionist pressures but that it would not take on any new obligations.The EEC sees a proposed two-year GATT agricultural study as the possible start of farm trade liberalization talks In Zurich on Wednesday, Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said protectionist feeling was growing in Congress and its members would press for retaliation if the GATT meeting failed to end unfair agricultural trade practices.Helms, a member of the U.S delegation to the meeting, told businessmen EEC countries were sabotaging free trade with their farm subsidies and dumping large amounts of cheap food on world markets.Begin and aides warned by judge RECORD/ I I RR> HI A VON Festival debts won *t be paid

Communist party Politburo member Geidar Aliyev has been appointed Soviet first deputy prime minister in a move apparently foreshadowing eventual promotion to premier.Aliyev, 59-year-old party chief in Soviet Azerbaijan, was elected to the post Wednesday at the end of a two-day session of the Supreme Soviet ( parliament).His surprise election followed on the heels of his promotion last Monday to the 12-man party Politburo and it was clear that his fast-rising fortunes met with the approval of new party chief Yuri Andropov.But the parliamentary session closed without a decision on who should fill the vacant post of state president left by the late Leonid Brezhnev — a post which Andropov was widely expected to assume after his election to the Supreme Soviet's 40-member Presidium on Tuesday.Diplomats said the way was still clear for Andropov to assume the presidency later, possibly when he had further consolidated his power within the party.Meanwhile, First Deputy President Vasily Kuznetsov, 81, will carry out the presidential duties.Aliyev joins Ivan Arkhipov, 75, in the post of first deputy prime minister, but in effect outranks him since the latter is not a member of the Politburo.Western diplomats said Aliyev was clearly being groomed to succeed Prime Minister Nikolai Tikhonov, now 77.There was speculation that Aliyev might be expected to accomplish nationwide what he has achieved in Azerbaijan in the past 13 years cracking down on corruption and prompting an economic recovery in agriculture and industry Aliyev had earlier been dismissed by many analysts as a possible candidate for promotion because of his security police background After starting as a ¦ pro>s .ional policeman in Josef Stalin's much-feared NKVD in 1941, he rose to become head of the state security apparatus in Azerbaijan, by then renamed the KGB.The KGB, normally a shadowy in stitution which avoids publicity at home, was also thrust into the spotlight Wednesday when its chairman, Vitaly Fedorchuk, in his first public speech since taking office last May, accased the West of waging “all-out espionage” and subversion against the Soviet Union.He presented a draft law aimed at tightening security along Soviet frontiers where around 300,000 KGB troops are stationed.JERUSALEM (AP) The Israeli judicial commission investigating the Palestinian massacre in Beirut has issued what could be read as an in dictment against Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the top political and military echelons.The blue-ribbon commission warned Begin, Defence Minister Ariel Sharon and seven others Wednesday that they were suspected of failing in their duties by letting Israeli-backed Lebanese Christian militias into the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps.The commission said Begin may have ignored "the danger of acts of revenge and bloodshed" by the Christian militias following the assassination of their leader, president-elect Bashir Gemayel.It suggested that Sharon and top army officers failed to stop the Sept.16-18 massacre despite reports of civilian deaths.The nine men were invited to reappear before the commission with legal counsel and the right to cross-examine witnesses.Although the commission is headed by Supreme Court Chief Justice Yit zhak Kahan, it is not a court of law and cannot hand down sentences.It can only present its conclusions and make recommendations to the government.But a damning report by the commission could shatter the governing coalition and topple the gov-rnmetv.The National Religious party, junior partner in the coalition controlling six parliament seats, has been carefully cultivating an image as the government’s watchdog and conscience WAS FIRST It was the first coalition party to press for a judicial inquiry once the massacre became known and might be the first to desert the coalition if the commission issues an unfavorable report.The commission law forbidding public debate while the inquiry is proceeding virtually muzzles Begin’s opposition.Asked for his reaction on Wed PQ turned down ‘non-offer’ — Parizeau QUEBEC (CP) - The Parti Québécois dispatched one of its members to Paris in 1971 to tell the French government it wasn't interested in their money, Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau said Wednesday.Montreal lawyer Paul Unterberg was given a letter addressed to Jean Jorgensen, chief of the North American affairs desk at the French foreign ministry, stating that the party did not want contributions from France, Parizeau told the Quebec national assembly.The letter was apparently not prompted by any offer by Paris.In a book published this week, former PQ member Marc Lavallee claimed that Jorgensen offered $300,000 to the then-fledgling PQ before the 1970 provincial election, and that Parizeau went to France to arrange to get the cash.Parizeau and Jorgensen have adamently denied any contributions were made, with the finance minister going so far Wednesday as to show reporters an expired Canadian passport which bears no stamps indicating he visited France in 1969 or 1970.“What people are looking for now is something strange, something curious, about a perfectly normal thing, which consisted in saying, ‘We don’t know if you want to send us cash — but in case you would be tempted, we are telling you: no’,” Parizeau said of the controversy.SUSPENDS PERIOD Claude Vaillancourt, speaker of the national assembly, suspended the question period to caution the PQ and Liberal house leaders that further queries of the finance minister and his responses would have to be handled delicately to avoid prejudicing the kidnapping trial of RCMP Const.Richard Daigle which is getting underway in Montreal.Lavallee told reporters earlier this week that he had agreed to an RCMP lawyer s request last spring to testify about the contribution at the trial of Insp.Claude Vermette, charged with stealing the PQ membership list in 1973.But a istrial was declared in the case last May when Premier Levesque called one of the witnesses a “skunk” during a similar question period.In Ottawa, Liberal MP Warren Allmand, who was solicitor general at the time, said that to his knowledge there were no files to suggest thatthe French government donated to the PQ.But he vowed to delve into the matter and question Solicitor General Robert Kaplan."Lavallee was very senior (with the PQ executive) at the time,” Allmand said of the doctor, who is now a card-carrying Liberal.“This can’t remain unresolved.” In an interview published Wednesday, John Starnes, head of RCMP Security Services at the time, said the force spent two years investigating such a payment.But no proof ever emerged.w m Finance Minister Parizeau says French aid wasn't offered PQ but an envoy was sent to refuse it anyway.nesday's commission statement, opposition leader Shimon Peres said he would wait for the commission's conclusions But he added that he was ‘pleased that there is a commission that will investigate the malfunctioning of failures and personalities." In addition to Begin and Sharon, the commission said it may find fault with Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Avi Dudai.a top Sharon aide.It also struck at the heart of the highly touted Israeli army and intelligence machines, suggesting negligence by the chief of staff, chief of army intelligence, the commanders of the forces in Beirut and Lebanon, and the head of the secret Mossad in telligence service.The political and intelligence leaders may have failed to foresee a massacre, even though they testified that they ordered Israeli troops to invade West Beirut to prevent acts of vengeance and renewed internecine fighting.Sharon, Shamir and the generals may have failed to heed early reports of “acts of killing or acts that deviate from regular combat operations” by the militias, the-statement said.The generals may not have acted quickly enough to stop the Christian militias once they heard reports of irregular behavior, and in fact may have authorized the operation to con liinit.for another 15 hours after a met-bug with (he militia commanders.A Begin aide said the prime minister has not decided on his course of action or whether he will seek legal advice Egypt urges recognition of Israel CAIRO (Reuter) President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt urged the Palestine Liberation Organization today, to recognize Israel unilaterally without waiting for recognition in return, Addressing a joint news conference with the visiting French President Francois Mitterrand, Mubarak said PLO recognition of Israel would open the door to dialogue between Palestinian leaders and the United States.“I think the only solution for the Palestinians is for the PLO to recognize the state of Israel," Mubarak said.“I don't think they will lose anything by so doing “It is not advisable for the PLO to reject all initiatives like Israel does.That is exactly what Israel wants.” Mubarak was speaking after two days of intensive talks with Mitterrand on Middle East affairs as well as on commercial and military ties between the two countries.Until recently, Mubarak’s view was that Israeli-PLO recognition should be mutual and simultaneous.The two presidents spent one hour and 45 minutes together during the morning with only interpreters present.Afterward, they called in their aides for further talks.Government, unions fight ’neath shadow of strike ban MONTREAL (CP) — Government and union spokesmen representing public service workers continued to trade verbal volleys Wednesday amidst reports that an emergency law is being considered to permanently ban strikes by Quebec's hospital unions.Rumors about the law.said to include provisions to decertify defiant unions, came as about 20 disabled chronic care hospital patients and 300 supporters held a procession through downtown streets to protest hospital strikes Many of the supporters were influential Quebecers Interviewed in Quebec City, Treasury Board President Yves Berube would not confirm that cabinet is considering the emergency law-.“I’m not saying there is nothing to it.I’m saying cabinet has not examined any law of the nature that you're talking about.” A law passed earlier this year to roll back salaries of Quebec's 300.000 public sector workers by 19 per cent over the first three months of 1983 also prohibits strikes until next April.The French-language service of 'he CBC said in a report that if unions representing 80,000 hospital workers go ahead with a threatened illegal strike next Tuesday, the government will introduce a bill to permanently nan strikes.The legislation would also contain provisions to fine and even decertify unions which defy the law Collection of union dues from members' paycheques could be cut off.the television report said.Union spokesmen accused the government Wednesday of “floating rumors about an end to the right to strike." calling it a negotiating tactic.A spokesman for the hospital workers said.“It’s the sort of thing we've come to expect from this government.Guy Versailles, a spokesman for Social Affairs Minister Pierre Marc Johnson, said only that Premier Levesque indicated in his statement last week what course the government would follow.It would be “extremely naive" for the government “not to make certain preparations.” Levesque had threatened to impose contract settlements on the public sector workers if agreements can t be reached by mid-December.The common front of unions, which represents about two-thirds of public service employees, has agreed to delay a decision on an illegal strike until this weekend But leaders of the hospital workers’ union, rejecting "government blackmail,” are going ahead with Tuesday as the day for their walkout But another union, the 40,000 member Syndicat des fonctionnaires du Quebec, has rejected strike action, president Jean-Louis Harrguindeguy said Wednesday.“Since we have decided not to embark on an illegal strike, we ask the government in return not to impose a contract on us," he said.Yvon Charbonneau.president of the Centrale de l'enseignement du Quebec, representing 85,000 teachers, declined to say whether his group will join the strike next week But if the government tries to impose a settlement, the teachers federation will call for “general mobilization, he said.The hospital patient demonstration here stopped noontime traffic for 45 minutes.It was headed by Claude Brunet, a paraplegic who has waged a long campaign against strikes at health care institutions “The tragic human drama (hat occurs in Quebec hospitals during strikes must stop.” said a man with a loudspeaker ‘ It s time this society rediscovered its dignity.” Among the supporters following the procession were Pierre Lortie, president of the Montreal Exchange, Sheila Finestone, former president of the Quebec Federation of Women, Roger lx-melin, former publisher of La Presse, and lx* Devoir publisher Jean-Louis Roy.“Those who strike on the backs of the sick are criminals.” Lemelin said."This is perhaps the most disgasting act in our society." Hoy, for his part, said he wasn’t “against hospital workers but against a society which allows such strikes to occur.” However, he said, to withdraw the right to strike “would probably cause more problems than it solves.” The Conseil du patronat, the province's largest employer group, said Wednesday the government has no choice but to pass a law “with teeth” (hat prohibits strikes in the health care sector 2—The KKL'OKD—Thurkday, November 25, !«H2 Crowsnest change should cause little fear for eastern farmers OTTAWA (CP) — Eastern farmers have little to fear from proposals now under study by the federal cabinet to change the Crowsnest Pass freight rate for Prairie grain, says a document prepared by the Transport Department The document is aimed at concerned eastern farm groups and at Ontario and Quebec MPs who have held several meetings with Transport Minister Jean Luc Pepin and Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan on the Crow changes.The contents of the document appear to confirm reports the federal govern ment will likely accept most of the proposals by Manitoba economist Clay Gilson to gradually triple the grain freight rate for Prairie farmers so they will be paying about 40 per cent of the bill by the next decade They now pay less than 20 per cent under the HS-year-old Crow rate and the millions of dollars the railways lose annually hauling grain has held up western rail expansion The document also indicates the federal government will take action to put Ontario oilseed growers and crushers on a more even footing with the West The Transport document elaborates on many points made in Agriculture Department studies prepared for eastern farm groups and MPs which said the Gilson proposals for changing the Crow rate will have a negligible impact on agriculture and food production in Central and Eastern Canada Also, rgi per cent of $17 billion the railways will spend on expanding their western line will go to eastern manufacturers of locomotives, railway cars, track and related equipment, Many of those companies now are operating below capacity.The Ontario government and farm groups say the Gilson proposal to put oilseed oil and meal under the fixed-rale regime for grains that will emerge in the Crow changes "would represent a grossly unfair marketing situation for eastern producers." But the document says that potential damage could be undone by making western oilseed producers pay the full freight rate from Thunder Bay into eastern markets and lose the $3-million- a year freight rate subsidy they now enjoy.The Gilson report made no mention of what rate should apply on oilseed products east of Thunder Bay A key eastern concern with the Gilson proposals is that ending the Crow rate will make animal feed grain prices cheaper in the West and encourage prairie cattlemen and hog producers to expand production and increase competition for eastern farmers WIPE OUT ADVANTAGE But rising transportation costs will wipe out any advantage lower grain prices offers western producer thinking of shipping into Easter Canada, the document says.The increased prairie production I expected to go to western U S market and Pacific countries Easter producers would still have the easier U S.market.The West now ships about 20 per cer of its annual beef calf production to fee lot operators in Central Canada.Bi that figure will drop with the Cnr changes, a move which should hel Ontario beef calf producers an dairymen with extra calves to sell.Hurricane Iwa legacy — $130 million

most big cities are incubating a new disease, say two Greater Vancouver researchers.It’s called Building Illness and it attacks the typing pool as well as the executive suite.The researchers hav discovered that the disease, with symptoms ranging from eye irritation to respiratory problems, is the result of modern technology.These buildings, according to Theodor Sterling and his son, Elia, are so well sealed from the outside environment that they are like "submarines standing on end.” Indoor pollution sometimes called “photochemical smog" gets trapped inside the airtight buildings.The senior Sterling is a professor of computing science at Simon Fraser University.His son is an architect and principal of TDS Ltd of Vancouver, an energy conservation and building design company.In papers presented to an international conference on air pollution, they said that "Of particular concern for indoor pollution are new materials used in construction and finishing.The Sterlings said a mixture of pollutants in a building are catalyzed from ultraviolet light emitted by fluorescent lights to form photochemical smog They suggest that energy-conserving buildings should be redesigned to include "better use of natural ventilation.” In other words open the windows.Sherbrooke militia general gets Military Merit Order OTTAWA (CP) — Maj.-Gen.Ernest Creber of Ottawa, who has devoted 35

the Superior Council of Education leaves English-speaking Quebec Roman Catholics without their traditional "voice” on the 24-member body, the group says."Mr.Bedwell was not recommended by any group

Dr.Edwin Webbking of the Canadian Rights and Liberties Federation said Sauve had a "perfectly legitimate right to complain ” The existing school boards not unilingual ghettos Brian Timmins is correct when he says parents and other interested English parties' (Commentary, The Record, November 5, l‘.M2i should discuss and try to define what we want from our education system It is my impression that not only are parents unsure as to what they want, but many are equally unclear as to what they have It comes as a surprise to most people that there are no English boards in the Province.There are Catholic boards and there are protestant boards, each of which may or may not have both English and French language schools under its jurisdiction Generally speaking protestant boards operate in English and Catholic boards in French.Thus the existing boards are not unilingual ghettos but have been catering to their clients of both languages for many years.In addition the hcoards have set up programs for the teaching of French as a second language which ensure that students who make the effort learn French effectively, (Indeed, it is my opinion that surrounded as we are by French radio, T V and neighbors, schools do more than necessary at the expense of expanding the curriculum into other areas.) To discuss the points made by Mr.Timmins: 1- School boards merely carry out policy dictated from Quebec City.True, school boards have less and less autonomy, however they do exercise some discretionary powers.In addition each member represents (usually) a group of schools rather than one single school which his child attends, as would be the case in the new board This, I feel, ensures a measure of objectivity essential to the task of ad- Commentary LURLINE BROWN ministering educational services equitably Raising taxes locally also makes them responsive to the community they serve 2 Trusting Dr I-mrin — It is the office, not the man, that is the constant.However, we should make very clear to him what we want and insist that he respects our choices 3- Closing of small schools — No one really knows what will happen t Expertise of Parents — There is no doubt that parents could run schools.The question is rather: would they want to so so under the terms set out by Inurin'.’ Presently 92 per cent of school commissioners are also parents Education is, in fact, in parents' hands already It is no small task to familiarize oneself with the M E Q regulations and the teachers' collective agreement in order to make meaningful suggestions as to how to run a school Many parents do not have the time to do so.For example, a person with children at both primary and secondary levels would be faced with a great deal of additional responsibility, not to mention legal liability lor decisions made at the new school council level.It is also pure hypothesis on Mr.Timmins’ part to suggest that new boards would be peopled by loving parents with only the students' best interests at heart They would not, I submit, be any more altruistic than existing school board members.To discuss the type of boards we want is not to neglect the students and their interests Rather it illustrates a firm belief that the nature and composition of the administrative body are fundamental to the type of schools we can provide for our children.This is true whether one is for the status quo or for change.Many would like to keep unilingual schools where the second language is well taught because they firmly believe these will give children the strong sease of self identity basic to the two cultures This does not prevent the "growth in one community together" advocated by Mr.Timmins.Indeed in respecting each other's right to maintain an individual character we would be truly growing as a community.English Quebec is a microcosm of French Canada.To deny its rights to develop its cultural heritage would be to deny that French Canadians have that right in Canada.It is not a question of the superiority or inferiority of a particular system Rather it is an opting for a system that reflects the very nature of Canada.Children and adults can easily get to know and understand each other through sports and social organizations, if, in the schools, we teach them to be receptive and respectful towards other cultures.I am not convinced that bilingual schools would reduce the tax burden.Much duplication of material might be necessary.Would it be fair to insist that a subject such as computer science should only be taught in English?We would still need the same number of buildings, etc.Bilingual schools would not eliminate completely the need for busing.Children from small towns would still have to travel as it is too expensive to duplicate, un- necessarily, the expensive equipment indispensable to modern secondary education.It is a fact, however, that English boards would imply the same type of travelling schedule that we now have I suggest that Dr Laurin's proposals are aimed at abolishing elected boards in order to make it easier to get government proposals implemented.French protestants have been seeking to establish their own boards Dr Laurin would like to reduce the number of boards with which his ministry has to deal The new boards, which allow choice of confessionality at the school level, would satisfy both these objectives Last but not least, it is an attempt to defuse the growing discontent of parents vis-a-vis government directives on the one hand and what appears to be a very restrictive collective agreement on the other.No doubt changes at the board level would be welcome Everyone would like to see more emphasis on content in schools and less on regulation.Teachers might agree to a more flexible contract if government would be less rigid about norms and allow them more input in the determining of what and how to teach.Parents would welcome the chance to feel they have real influence.In many respects Laurin has done us a favor in forcing us to reflect on what we have and how far we want to go in changing it.It would be drastic to throw out all we now have, Perhaps now is the time to opt for linguistic boards with strong guarantees for parents to choose confessionality.Indeed these are the only two aspects of education guaranteed in the Constitution.Therefore we have a legitimate right to insist upon them and in so doing we will be demonstrating what Canada is all about.//Ms.Ths FiRêT

MTÀI.NtVJà NEA ’Si Shah’s jewel stash: $50 billion-guess ‘too low’ By Charles J.Hanley TEHRAN (AP) — The crown jewels of the Pahlavi dynasty, the most dazzling gem collection in the world, still glitter in a dim bank vault beneath the teeming streets of revolutionary Tehran.Almost four years after the downfall of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the revolutionary government opened the chamber beneath the central bank building to a group of foreign journalists in order to dispel rumors it was selling off the fabulous jewels to finance its war with Iraq.The collection of priceless crowns and legendary thrones, be-rubied snuffboxes and diamond-studded opium pipes appeared as complete and undisturbed as when they were last on public display in the late 1970s.The point being made was an important one.Like the oil beneath the Iranian soil, the treasure secreted below the Bank Markazi is a financial bulwark for Iran JEWELS PRICELESS When asked how many millions of dollars the jewels were worth, bank official Habib Shirazi laughed."It’s in the billions." he said.“But what jeweller could make an assessment?” Someone suggested the figure $50 billion.Shirazi laughed again."Too low',’’ he said."And remember, we need dollars.” In the time of the shah, the crown jewels were the backing for the bulk of Iran's currency.At the minimum, that would indicate a value of several billion dollars.But the collection's value may be inestimable, since hundreds of its individual items could be broken up into infinitely smaller pieces, each still worth millions.Since the 1978-79 revolution, the 18-by 36-metre vault-museum has been opened only rarely for visiting dignitaries.Security is tight, the display cases are touch-sensitive and photography is forbidden.Most of the gems were the spoils of the Persian king Nader Shah's conquest of India in 1739.From these loose stones.19th-century jewellers working for the Qajar dynasty produced most of the objects.The Iranian revolutionaries insist they will not sell the collection, now dubbed the National Jewels.But last spring the government adopted a law permitting the sale of carpets, artwork, automobiles and other items valued at less than $125,000 from the former royal palaces.Letters An inhibited cultural development An open letter to Claude Hamel, Rector.University of Sherbrooke : Sir, Considering the eventual reduction of services to, or even the closing of the Galerie d'Art of the University of Sherbrooke, it is with grave misgivings that we.the Regroupement des Artistes des Cantons de l'Est RACE*, prepare for the future of the visual arts in our region For 16 years, the Galerie d'Art has allowed the dissemination of the works of members of RACE, as well as of artists from outside the area, both in group and solo exhibitions.Also, being situated in a teaching environment, the Galerie d'Art has encouraged in its educational role animation and artistic information among the public.Also, the Galerie d'Art has provided a diversity of activities, both cultural and artistic, without which the people of the Eastern Townships can look forward to an inhibited regional cultural development.In short, the disappearance of an "artistic vehicle", which is what the Galerie d'Art is, will erase a means of distribution of their work, and provoke an exodus of people creative in the visual arts, denied a serious forum in the region.Sincerelv Yours, OPHRABENAZON Sherbrooke t s s'-Nr > \ \N * r Thoughts won’t be strained through cobwebs »• « ».V -, w 63 103 12 7 9 8 11 3 15

spirits of the Anglican Church Women of St.Peter’s Church when they met at the church lounge Tuesday afternoon, November 9 Joan Thomson in the chair asked for a minute’s silence in observance of Armistice Day; some of us remember that first Armistice Day and our thoughts wing back over the Armistice days we have known, vigils at cenotaphs in sun or snow or bitter rain, and the brothers, uncles, nephews and friends we call to mind each year so faithfully.The devotional reading continued that theme.Bea Taylor read the minutes of the last meeting and Leslie Pales reported on cards sent to shut-ins, including a birthday card Jacoby's Bridge Count rescues overbid to Mrs.Jackson on her 101st birthday last month, and acknowledgments on her behalf and others.Myrtle Allan's treasurer’s report was happy reading and all rejoiced that the quilt raffle at our coffee party in October was won by Bernice Trollope, faithful secretary of our ACW for many years and now moved to Ontario with her family.Myrtle and Cliff Allan on a holiday trip to Ancaster delivered the quilt personally, and had a pleasant visit with the Trollopes.Ida Hurley reported Astro for the Dorcas Group that a new

some years ago by British expert Jeremy Flint and reported in "Hoffman on Pairs Play " The bidding is typically British, particularly West's spade overcall and heart raise North’s final bid of five clubs was certainly a mild overbid, since obviously his king of hearts wasn’t going to pull full weight Jeremy ruffed the heart lead after playing low from dummy, then played ace-king and another diamond, ruffing in dummy with the five of trumps.Now came a little counting of distribution and tricks.He decided that he had to plav for a 3-2 trump break and it looked as if East held three clubs.That made the odds 3-2 in favor of a simple club finesse against East, but Jeremy had a better idea.He led a spade from dummy.East would be unlikelv to ruff if void, but East had to follow and Jeremy’s ace scored He now decided that West had four hearts for his sketchy heart raise.The count was completed.West held exactly two clubs.Jeremy played ace and king of clubs The queen didn't drop, so East held it Another club was played East took his queen and was down to hearts.He led his ace South discarded one losing spade on that ace and the last one on dummy’s king.The rest of of his hand was good and the contract made.(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.) cfour «Birthday November 26,1982 Several new social interests will be developed this coming year These will lead to a wider circle ol
