Marshall said."4 replied 1 fancy you can In?as good a Canadian if you live in St John's or Vancouver" Marshall said the federal government is trying to halt exploration off Newfoundland to force the province to capitulate on jurisdiction, a claim denied by a spokesman for Chretien.The spokesman said Chretien had asked the oil companies for assurances that exploration would continue when weather conditions improve.Mobil moved two oil rigs off the Grand Banks last week, citing the threat from icebergs in the area as the reason.Marshall had ordered Mobil earlier to ' bring the rigs to port because of the ice but Chretien ordered them to stay put The rigs did not move for several days.Marshall said Chretien should consider resigning because of his actions.Deficit will top 30 billion if economy stimulated OTTAWA (CP) — The already record-high federal spending deficit will surpass $30 billion next year if the government takes steps in the budget to stimulate the economy.Finance Minister Marc Lalonde said Thursday.Lalonde said the $27.2-billion deficit estimated for the current fiscal year ending March 31 will rise in any case in the 1983-84 fiscal year because federal revenues will drop as a result of lower tax revenue from oil, personal income and corporate earnings.‘‘The addition of several hundred millions of dollars resulting from lower oil prices and lower income taxes and corporate taxes will mean if there is to be some stimulus it would be over $30 .billion," he told reporters.fyt^as the second time in a month that Lalonde* boosted his estimate of next year’s deficit.Three weeks ago he said the deficit of $27 2 billion would rise to about $29 billion in 1983-84 if no stimulative policy measures were announced in the budget.\ Forced contracts declared illegal We're still adjusting kl CORD PI HRV HI A TON High tech has its ups and downs.The Record is going through some of each as we switch to a new, ultramodern word-processing, editing and typesetting front-end' system.The ups are that it is faster, fancier and fun.The downs mean that it is still sometimes slow and a hit sloppppppppppppy.Have no fear, the end is near — the end of the troubles, that is — ht hope! Lalonde said the budget will be an nounced in April but no exact date has yet been decided.His comments came after a bitter exchange in the Commons between Prime Minister Trudeau and NDP Leader Ed Broadbent over calls by some provinces for stimulation of the economy.During the exchange about whether provincial premiers urged the prime minister at a private dinner to stimulate the economy, both Trudeau and Broadbent stopped just short of accusing the other of lying.Broadbent urged Trudeau to make a vow “that for the rest of 1983 he will do his best to tell the truth in the House of Commons." And Trudeau urged Broadbept to “vow to stick a little closer to the tikith .until the end of Lent." Trudeau challenged Broadbent s claim that premiers from all regions of the country had urged the prime minister at the dinner this week for major stimulation to create badly-needed jobs “Nothing of that nature was discussed,” Trudeau said, describing the claim as a fabrication.Broadbent said his statement was based on conversations with two premiers and “I’ll put my faith on the side of the premiers.” USSR threatens border deployment MOSCOW (AP) — A senior Soviet official said Thursday the Kremlin would have to deploy missiles "near American borders" to gain equality if NATO goes ahead with plans to place medium-range nuclear rockets in Western Europe.Today's edition of the Communist party newspaper Pravda added that “a timely and effective answer will be given to the growth of the threat to the security of the U.S.S.R.and its allies, w'hich the new American missiles in Western Europe would constitute.” In Thursday’s edition of Pravda, Georgi Arbatov, director of the U.S.A.and Canada Institute of the Soviet Academy of Science, wrote: “As far as equality is concerned, in that case for the sake of this equality we would have not only to add to our missiles in Europe, but also deploy them near American borders.’’ Arbatov, considered a Kremlin spokesman, did not specify where.It was believed to be the first time any Soviet official had so directly outlined what the Soviets might do if NATO goes ahead with plans to deploy 572 American-made missiles in Europe late this year.WOULD STRIKE U.S.Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov, chief of the Soviet general staff and a first deputy defence minister, told the New York Times in an interview published Thursday that Americans should remember that any U.S.missile fired from Europe at the Soviet Union would result in a direct retaliatory strike not only on Europe but on the United States as well.‘if the U.S.would use these missiles in Europe against the Soviet Union it is not logical to believe we will retaliate only against targets in Europe,” Ogarkov told the newspaper.“Let me tell you, if some of your experts think this, they are foolish.” At issue are about 600 Soviet nuclear-tipped medium-range missiles, in eluding more than 350 new highly accurate multi-warhead SS-20s.NATO decided to counter those missiles with the 572 Pershing 2 and cruise rockets but has offered to forego their deployment if Moscow destroyed its European based SS-20s.U.S.President Reagan calls the offer a "zero-option." The Soviets reject that offer, claiming it would be tantamount to unilateral disarmament since the NATO forces are superior now in warheads that can be delivered by ground-or aircraft-carrier based planes and submarine-launched missiles MOSCOW OFFER REJECTED Moscow's counter-offer is to reduce its SS-20s to 162, the current number of medium-range missiles held by France and Britain.Those countries and the United States reject that offer, arguing the French and British missiles are an independent defence arsenal Today’s Pravda charged that while claiming to be independent forces, the British missiles "are targeted by the NATO selection-of-target centre in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A., thus there is a clear discrepancy between claims and facts.” The newspaper claimed “it is an open secret that the areas of patrol by French missile-carrying submarines are co-ordinated with the U.S.com mand.” The United States and the Soviet Union have been negotiating the medium-range missile issue for 16 months in Geneva, with the American side claiming progress is being made.The Soviets reject that assessment Pravda repeated the Soviet claim that the United States is blocking progress, “stalling the talks and starting the deployment of new American nuclear missiles." Levesque accused of misleading fellow MNAs MONTREAL (CP) — La Presse said today Premier Rene Levesque misled the Quebec national assembly in 1979 when he said his office had in no way been involved in negotiations which resulted in an out-of-court settlement of a $31-million lawsuit.The suit was launched by the James Bay Energy Corp., a provincial Crown corporation, against the construction wing of the Quebec Federation of Labor The newspaper said the corporation had already spent $800.000 in legal fees at the time the $200.000 settlement was reached and its lawyers had initially thought they had a good chance of getting most of the $31 million claimed The corporation had initially asked for $1.2 million for physical damage to the site and to corporation equipment.This included: —$2.4 million to compensate the corporation for payments it made to various companies for costs incurred when the site was closed .— $1 million for the cost of removing personnel from the site: —$5 9 million for the resulting increase on insurance premiums; —and $21 million for costs incurred because construction schedules had to be changed.The suit was filed during the preceding Liberal administration of Premier Robert Bourassa The newspaper said several documents and witnesses state that a good part of the negotiations took place in the premier's Montreal office and that two key members of his personal staff — Jean-Roch Boivin and Yves Gauthier — participated.The settlement was largely worked out by Feb.19, 1979.On Feb 20, I^evesque was asked in the assembly by Liberal Fernand Lalonde: “Is it true that part of these negotiations «for an out-of-court settlement) occurred in the presence of the premier or one of his representatives?” Levesque replied: “If a settlement was reached, the premier's office had nothing to do with it.The decision belongs to those who administer the corporation .It doesn't concern us." The transcripts released by the premier's office Thursday quote him as saying the decision on a settlement "belongs to Hydro-Quebec and its administration.and the James Bay Energy Corp “While being absolutely clear on that, my feeling is still favorable to a settlement.As to the means, I don’t want to know until the day when we will all know." In a statement accompanying the transcripts, Levesque said he was therefore “personally implicated in the settlement as was my office because I was ‘eminently favorable to a settlement.’ "I never denied it.That is exactly what I said to the national asxactly what I said to the national assembly.” Claude Laliberte, the corporation's president and general manager, is quoted by the newspaper as saying he was called to Boivin’s office in December, 1978, and told that the premier's office wanted the lawsuit dropped and a settlement negotiated A spokesman for the corporation said Thursday Laliberte “is not in a position to comment on this." QFL president Laberge also confirmed Thursday that he had met withh Boivin to see “whhat could be done" to end “these stupid lawsuits" initiated by the Liberal government which preceded Levesque's MONTREAL (Cl*) The Quebec government suffered a potentially serious setback Thursday when the three-year contracts it imposed on 325.000 public sector employees were declared unconsti t ut ional.The ruling by Judge Gerard Girouard of sessions court also casts doubt on the legal soundness of the more than 24,000 criminal charges pending against public employees, mainly teachers, for participating in illegal strikes last month The government said it would appeal the ruling.Union leaders and the defence lawyer hailed it as a major victory.Defence lawyer Phil Cutler agreed with Justice Minister Marc-Andre Bedard, however, that the contracts and charges would remain in force while the case is being appealed.The ruling came as conciliation continued between the province and its 71.000 teachers.The teachers struck illegally in late January, but declared a truce in mid February to allow for further negotiations Girouard ruled that the labor con tracts, appended to legislation known as Bill 105 that was passed last December, were statutes in the legal sense and thus should have been presented to the national assembly in both English and French.TABLED IN FRENCH Bill 105 itself was tabled in both languages, but the decrees, 80,000 pages of contracts, were presented to legislators in French only.Girouard said failure to produce the contracts in both languages violated Article 133 of the British North America Act, which required laws of the legislature to be in both languages.“I don’t remember how many times I spoke to these guys,” laberge told a hastily-convened news conference, "But 1 definitely spoke to them.” DEMAND RETRACTION One of the persons involved in the negotiations was Yvan Latouche, later a main source of revelations about a scandal involving the Quebec Housing Corp.“I don t rely on any statement that comes from a man named latouche,” said Energy Minister Yves Duhaime, the cabinet member now responsible for the James Bay project.Duhaime said he has asked his department to investigate the situation to come up with the facts "This whole affair looks to me like.I wouldn’t say an operetta, but almost a tragi comedy.” Levesque said he has ordered an assessment of the facts and “also of some omissioas that have been allowed, so that as soon as possible we can get the whole thing as clear as possible.” But he also demanded that La Presse retract its accusations, and asked that other news media carrying thhe story give equal space to his denial The president of Quebec's largest teachers’ federation said the decision confirmed the belief of the union movement that three laws used by the province to impose contracts on the workers were illegal."Now we can get rid of these decrees and maybe we’ll have a negotiated settlement to this dispute," said Yvon Charbonneau.The national assembly passed Bill 105 with the controversial contract decrees after sporadic negotiations with public sector unions last year failed to produce new agreements.Quebec argued that its budget problems made it imperative to recover hundreds of millions of dollars by forcing the unions into agreeing to contract concessions.The decrees rolled back wages for most public servants and imposed heavier work loads on teachers while weakening their job security.That precipitated an escalating series of walkouts in late January that at one point involved almost 200,000 Quebec public employees.The teachers held out for three weeks before ac cepting the truce when the g ment adopted a third, harsher back to work law, Bill 111 The Justice Department has filed more than 26,000 charges of violating the Quebec Labor Code since the strikes began in January Any strike during the life of a contract is considered illegal The government has held off on prosecution of individual teachers under Bill 111, which provides for sharper penalties including firing.Girouard's ruling came in a test case involving charges against 12 junior college teachers charged with violating Bill 105.KI.('OKI) SThPHI-.N MiDOCOAl.l Denis l.essard is one of nine Townships militiamen hound for Cyprus.Soldiers draw Cyprus duty By Stephen McDougall SHERBROOKE — For Denis Lessard of St.Elie d’Orford, the trip to Cyprus is going to be a change from his ordinary routine as a university student.He is getting free transportation, lodging and pay for the six months that he will be there.But he didn’t win a lottery, he will be going to the Mediterranean as a peacekeeping soldier for the United Nations .along with eight others from his militia regiment, the Sherbrooke Hussars.The part time soldiers are going to Cyprus on a military ‘callout’ by the Canadian Armed Forces, in which militia members are given temporary regular-force postings for up to a

For 22-year-old Lessard, a five-year member of the reserve armoured regiment and now a Master Corporal, this will be his second callout.His first was to Germany in 1980 for the autumn NATO exercises, so this will be his first time working for the United Nations.He says his friends are envious because he is getting a chance to travel and make some money in the process.Neither is his family afraid of the work he will have to do there, which is See DUTY, page 3.OO 2—The RECORD—Friday.March 18, 1983 RCMP ordered to investigate firm linked to Mackasey MONTREAL (CP) — A federal official has ordered the RCMP to investigate the bankruptcy of a Montreal machine tooling firm linked with Liberal MP Bryce Mackasey in court testimony.“We’ve asked the RCMP to investigate the bankruptcy,” Yves Pigeon, acting superintendant of bankruptcies for the Consumer and Corporate Affairs Department, said Thursday in a telephone interview from Ottawa.Pigeon said the department has no investigative unit of its own and calls in the RCMP when illegal acts are suspected in a bankruptcy.Several witnesses at last fall's Quebec Superior Court bankruptcy hearings on Les Ateliers d'usinage Hall Ltee., as well as the firm’s trustee and his lawyer, have been questioned by RCMP officers.Les Ateliers president Jean Lanthier testified he was told by the firm’s lawyer in March, 1982, that Mackasey was believed to be behind a numbered company in Ottawa.fomnnnv documents filed with the court say 109609 Canada Ltd., described in testimony as a one man firm, received a $400.000-loan guarantee and $22,500 in cash to lobby for federal contracts for Les Ateliers “What interests me is whether any of the assets of the firm were paid out improperly,” Pigeon said RECOVER FUNDS Trustee Jean Guy Daoust says he is attempting to recover $82,500 in Les Ateliers funds believed to have been paid without legal justification just before it went bankrupt last May.Daoust’s lawyer has called on the numbered company to return $22,500 within five days or he will take court action to find out who is behind the firm Pigeon said that if the RCMP investigation uncovers evidence of wrongdoing, his department will recommend that charges be laid by Quebec’s attorney-general, no matter who may be involved.’’ Les Ateliers, a heavy machine shop founded in 1886, designed and produced machinery for resource industries and manufacturers.The firm was known as Hall Engineering Ltd.before it was sold in late 1981 to Labec Inc.Mackasey told the Commons Wednesday he never owned the numbered company and said he never acted as a paid lobbyist for Les Ateliers He also asked for an inquiry by the House committee on privileges and elections but Speaker Jeanne Sauve has not yet announced whether she will order such an inquiry.* WE SETTLE ESTATES * TAX PLAN YOORIHCC ME * FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION * SPECIALIZE - FARM ROLLOVER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE W.D.DUKE ASSOCIATES LTD.109 William St., Cowansville J2K 1K9 SI 4-263-4123 President: W.D.Duke B.Comm.C.A.Vice-President: J.R Boulé, B.A.New York archbishop snubs IRA grand marshal News-in-brief NEW YORK — An aging firebrand loyal to the underground Irish Republican Army led thousands of New Yorkers in the traditional St.Patrick’s Day parade Thursday, snubbed by the archbishop, the government of Ireland and the U S.Army.And five persons were struck and injured by a pickup truck driven by a laughing wrong way driver who police said was trying to hit people.‘It’s a day of peace and justice,” said Michael Flannery, the 81-year old former member of the IRA whose election as grand marshal prompted several Irish American politicians and more than a score of high school bands to pull out of the parade.Crowds lining Fifth Avenue were lighter than than usual, perhaps because of a threat of rain and a suburban rail strike as well as the political controversy surrounding the parade.There was a moment of panic when a speeding pickup truck with California licence plates struck and injured two policemen and three pedestrians.Witnesses said the driver was laughing as he sped down Fifth Avenue in the opposite direction of the mar chers at 1:45 p.m., narrowly missing a high school band before plowing into the victims.All five of the injured were taken to Bellevue Hospital.The driver was apprehended.“It’s a wonder he didn’t hit more people," said police Capt.Arthur Ury.“There had to be no question that he intended to run people down." Flannery drew cheers along the route, and cries of “Give ’em hell, Mike” and “Up the IRA.” Mayor Edward Koch, who marched behind Flannery, also got lusty cheers.Parents oppose operation for severely retarded son VANCOUVER (CP) — Justice Lloyd McKenzie will rule today on whether a severely retarded child will undergo an operation lhat may prolong his life.The parents of six-year old Stephen Dawson do not want the operation to be performed, and a family court judge ruled Monday they have the right to make that decision.But the British Columbia Association for the Mentally Retarded, the provincial Human Resources Ministry and the Superintendent of Child Welfare all petitioned B.C.Supreme Court to overturn the ruling.In summations Thursday morning, lawyers for the three groups each asked McKenzie to rule that day, then provide reasons for judgment latef, but McKenzie declined.“I am most aware of the urgency," he said.“(But) lam not content simply to announce a conclusion and at some later date give reasons for lhat conclusion.” McKenzie had earlier denied a request by lawyer John Bethell to adjourn the case to Monday because the Dawsons’ lawyer, Linda Stewart, was “desperately ill,” and unable to appear in court.Bethell said he was not familiar with the case, and had not reviewed the evidence.McKenzie said that because of the case’s urgency, he had to “impose on Mr.Bethell the terrible responsibility to address the court on behalf of the parents.” Kahnawake chief leads opposition to OTTAWA (CP) Leaders of a breakaway group claiming to represent one third of Canada's Indians say they will never be bound by the constitutional accord signed Wednesday between native leaders, Prime Minister Trudeau and all provincial premiers except Quebec.The conference was an attempt to steamroll the Indian people into becoming Canadian citizens, Chief Billy Two Rivers of the Kahnawake band near Montreal said here Thursday."We are not Canadian citizens.We are not Canadian Indians.We are the Mohawks of North America," he told a news conference."We therefore have no intention of becoming assimilated into the Constitution of a foreign country."

this spring, the ballet troupe announced Thursday.After six months of negotiations with the Min’On Concert Association of Tokyo, the 25-year-old company has agreed to a three-week tour of Japan in June, said director general Colin McIntyre.And talks are continuing “very well" with the Philippines, Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China to perform in those countries as well, McIntyre said.Additional funding is being considered by the Quebec Department of Intergovernmental Affairs for the $600,000 tour, which will be documented by a National Film Board crew.U de M must hire 383 teachers MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec Court of Appeal has upheld an arbitration ruling requiring the University of Quebec at Montreal to hire as many as 383 new professors a judgment which could add $12 million to its annual budget for salaries.The university had hired hired teaching assistants in place of professors in violation of staffing levels spelled out in the professors’ contract.The administration was to have hired 446 professors for the autumn, 1981, session, but only hired 67."We don’t want to push things,” professors’ union president Gilbert Vaillancourt said after the ruling.“The union is not asking for a huge creation of jobs.We’re prepared to negotiate in light of the university’s financial difficulties," he said.Levesque to sign power accord MONTREAL (CP) Quebec Premier Rene Levesque will travel to Boston Monday to sign an agreement to export 33 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to the New England Power Pool, the premier’s office said.The power will be shipped to the six New England states for an 11-year period starting in 1985.Last year Quebec signed a 13-year agreement to sell 111 billion kilowatt-hours of power to the Power Authority of the State of New York.Post Office accountability good OTTAWA (CP) Auditor General Kenneth Dye is so impressed by the openness and accountability of Canada Post Corp.that he says other Crown corporations should emulate its practices."I like what 1 see," Dye told the Commons public accounts committee Thursday when Liberal Norman Kelly asked whether the 16-month-old corporation is accountable enough to Parliament.Dye described legislation governing the post office as a model other Crown corporations should follow and said he wishes other Crown corporation heads were as co-operative with his auditing office as is postal president Michael Warren.Bank rate slides OTTAWA (CP) The Bank of Canada rate slipped to 9.47 per cent Thursday from 9.53, but the decline was not expected to prompt changes in other lending rates.The bank rate, which strongly influences the direction other rates move, still remains above its 41-year low of 9.38 per cent set two weeks ago.Although there has been little change in rates this year the central bank rate has been bouncing around in (he nine to 10 per cent range since Jan.7 analysts generally expect the decline which began nine months ago will eventually resume.Canada needs NAZI laws OTTAWA (CP) Legislation should be introduced enabling Canadian courts to prosecute alleged Nazi war criminals who cannot be extradited for trials in other countries.New

be studied by the Commons privileges and elections committee.The proposal, by Liberal backbencher Gaston Isabelle, is aimed at thwarting the Parti Québécois should it try to run candidates in federal elections.Isabelle.MP for Hull, says he fears regional or provincial groups could use Parliament as a platform for their specific interests.He presented a private member's bill Wednesday that would require such parties to field a total of 50 candidates in a majority of provinces before they could be officially registered by the Chief Electoral Officer Gas tax may be dropped OTTAWA (CP) — A federal tax worth about 10 cents a gallon to gasoline consumers might be dropped entirely because the gap between domestic and world prices of crude oil has narrowed.Finance Minister Marc Lalonde said Thursday.As the international price falls, the consumer tax that compensates refiners who import the higher-priced foreign crude will be reduced substantially and might even disappear, I-alonde told reporters.”1 think we will end up in a situation where there is no compensation to be paid."

The coalition says it represents 70.000 of Canada's 300,000 treaty Indians and consists of treaty Indians from Alberta.British Columbia.Manitoba.Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.The ads reject the Assembly of First Nations three-day meeting with federal and provincial officials being held in Ottawa with a view to amending the Constitution.Angels deny dagger contract NEW YORK AP i — Officials of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang have denied allegations that members of the group plotted to kill rock star Mick Jagger.Sonny Barger, a founder of the organization and president of the Hell's Angels' Oakland, Calif., chapter, said at a Manhattan news conference that a government witness who made the claim lacked credibility.Barger said the witness, whom he identified as Clarence Addie Crouch, testified against members of the gang in an Ohio trial that ended in acquittal.The witness, identified only as Butch, told the U.S, Senate judiciary committee March 3 that the gang has tried at least twice to kill Jagger and his rock group, the Rolling Stones.Reagan support grows PRINCETON, N.J.(AP) - The number of Americans who approve of President Reagan’s performance in office has increased for the first time since late 1981, the Gallup Organization reported in a national U.S.poll released Thursday.The poll, taken Feb.25 to 28, found 40 per cent in favor of Reagan's performance, compared with a 35-per-cent rating, Reagan's lowest ever, in late January.In the new poll.50 per cent said they disapproved of Reagan’s actions in office and 10 per cent said they had no opinion, Bobbies charged in shooting LONDON AP) A court ordered two London detectives to stand trial Thursday for the attempted murder of TV film editor Stephen Waldorf in an ambush involving mistaken identity.Detective constables John Jardine of Scotland Yard's Criminal Intelligence section and Peter Finch of the Paddington Green Police Station were released on bail for trial at the Old Bailey Central Criminal Court at a later date.Police officers hunting David Martin, 35, an escaped prisoner charged with the attempted murder of a policeman, opened fire on Waldorf’s car Jan.14, hitting him in the head, lungs, liver and arm.’ Chuck and Di hit the road LONDON (AP) — Prince Charles and his wife, Diana, will set off today on a six-week visit to Australia and New Zealand — the most extensive tour since they were married in 1981.They will be sharing the royal limelight with their son.Prince William, who will be nine months old Monday.Chubby-cheeked William, who now has six teeth and a shock of fine blond hair, will be making his first trip abroad.The Australian Air Force Boeing 707 jetliner that will be used for the 19,000-kilometre flight to Australia will carry William's crib, baby bath and some of his favorite toys, Buckingham Palace said.His two nannies.Barbara Barnes and her assistant, Olga Powell, also will be on board.Dublin celebrates St.Paddy’s DUBLIN (AP) About 200,000 people turned out today for Dublin's annual St.Patrick’s Day parade in honor of Ireland’s patron saint.The mood was festive as 70 floats made their way through the capital of the Irish republic in a parade honoring the fifth-century missionary who brought Christianity to Ireland.Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald, whose government boycotted today's parade in New York City because of the choice of Irish Republican Army supporter Michael Flannery as grand marshal, reviewed the Dublin parade along with Lord Mayor Dan Browne.Marching in the sea of green were 11 Irish and five U.S.bands.St Patrick's Day is a national holiday on both sides of the border, although some businesses remained open in Northern Ireland.There were religious and secular celebrations throughout the island.Doctor explains Christ’s death VIENNA (Reuter) — Jesus Christ died of cir- • culatory disturbances, loss of fluid from his wounds and psychic stress resulting in irreversible shock, an Austrian pathologist says.L Prof Hans Bankl of the Saint Poelten Hospital Institute of Pathology wrote in the latest issue of the Austrian medical journal about crucifixion, suffered by Jesus and countless slaves, rebels and criminals in ancient times.* “In all probability, suffering on the cross is a complex process ending in an irreversible state of shock." he said.The primary causes of death were probably a slow sinking of blood into the lower half of the body, and a drop in blood pressure because of a heavy loss of fluid from surface wounds due to flagellation, he said.Magistrate clears Italian masons ROME Reuter) — A Rome magistrate cleared about 200 public officials and political figures of wrongdoing Thursday after a two-year inquiry into the illegal Propaganda Two Masonic lodge.Investigating magistrate Ernesto Cudillo said proceedings against top Milan justice officials, a former head of the supreme magistrates council and senior Socialist and Christian Democratic politicians will mostly be shelved.Publication of the names of almost 1,000 alleged members of the Masonic lodge in 1981 set off a scandal that brought down the government of Christian Democratic prime minister Arnaldo Forlani t f The RECORD—Friday.March 18, 1983—3 The Townships < Vn*, $ i* *• : X ^w J./ ¦ 4 A • i r." t.ft «T " TY'k -, i ¦ A S ,VV t* .» rljT\ IMG MORAL EXPOsrrToün?(r M W.* N*»>> ^ w w% MCWKC MECHAMICAL W0M0ERS HIE SIZE ANIMATE Ic INANIMATE CUftlOSmtS HARE EXCCRFTS Of UVING WILD ANIMALS MUSEUM CARAVAN *• HIPfODROME -uw w TICKET TO AIL.a • 3 1 .• S' .•V aIvV'.V.VAMvV j Al' hi*' -

Children under 9 years half price - admits : with FREE Admission to all who buy the Life of P.T.Barnum written by himself, 900 pages.Illustrated, written up to March, 1874, reduced from $3.50 to $1.50.“Worth $100 Greenback to a beginner.” -Horace Greeley The Montreal Gazette reported: “As many of his visitors took his ‘Life’, they look, while emerging from his show, as if they were coming from a circulating library.” And a Sherbrooke reporter confessed: “I read his book, and could not but admire the shrewdness, tact, energy and iron fortitude of the man who was able to conquer success out of difficulties and disasters which would have overwhelmed others.He candidly concedes that his woolly horse’ was a myth; ‘Washington’s Nurse’ an invention, and the ‘Falls of Niagara’ a burlesque.But they drew crowds and served as a capital advertisement.” Barnum began his extraordinary career in 1835 by exhibiting a tiny, shi-rivelled old negro woman named Joice Heth as 161 years old and George Washington’s nurse.Proof of her remarkable age was displayed beside her couch in the form of a yellowed Bill of Sale dated February 5, 1727, describing “one negro woman, named Joice Heth, aged fifty-four years." She would chat with visitors and freely answer questions about the infant who became the country’s first president.When interest began to flag, Barnum circulated a rumor that she was a fake — not a woman at all but an automaton, “made of whalebone, india rubber, and numberless springs ingeniously put together.” The crowds came flocking back for a second look.Side-shows, along with carnivals and circuses, had a reputation in those days for cheap fakery and nice people simply did not attend Barnum, who wanted above all to be respectable, overcame this prejudice with his American Museum’ on Broadway where these same sideshow freaks and fakes — his ‘Woolly Horse’ and his ‘Great Model of Niagara Falls with Real Water’ among them — could be exhibited as educational.People would go to a museum who’d never dream of attending a car- nival — particularly if it boasted a ‘Lecture Room’ (as Barnum’s did) where visiting Professors’ could declaim on everything from Phrenology to the North Pole.Barnum made a fortune.He became involved in circuses only in 1871 when William Cameron Coup and Dan Castello, both successful circus managers (they’d been partners in a floating carnival on the Great Lakes), approached him to combine under his name nothing less than The Greatest Show on Earth’.In Arpil of that year, it opened in New York under three acres of canvas and was an instant success.“To the horror of my very able but too cautious manager, Mr.W.C.Coup.” Barnum wrote, “I so augmented the already innumerable attractions, that it was shown beyond doubt that we could not travel at a less expense than $5,000 per day, but, undaunted, I still expended thousands of dollars and ship after ship brought me rare and valuable animals and works of art.” Coup's version was somewhat different — that it was he who persuaded Barnum to make their circus bigger and ever bigger, and he who created the circus train when it grew too big for traditional wagons.But, back to the advertisement: Presenting amid an innumerable multitude of Special and Monopolized Features, The Marvelous Talking Machine! Which LAUGHS, SINGS, and TALKS in various languages, with perfect fluency, in exact imitation of the human voice.ADMIRAL DOT! The Cupid of the Dwarfs, and smallest man that ever lived.16 years old, 25 inches high, weighs 15 pounds.Admiral Dot, sometimes styled The Eldorado Elf’, was introduced to Barnum in 1868 and the showman found him “so handsome, well-formed and captivating, that I could not resist the temptation to engage him.” He sang, danced, played musical instruments, and was often teamed with Colonel Routh Goshen, ‘The Palestinian Giant’, 8’-2” tall, 590 pounds.The giant held the Eldorado Elf in one huge hand.Once, when exhibiting at Bamum’s Museum, Colonel Goshel got into a quarrel with another giant and the lucky spectators who happened along at that time were treated to the pair of them snatching up enormous swords and clubs and attempting to destroy each other until separated by museum attendants.Barnum, when informed of the incident, was furious — not because they’d fought, but because they hadn’t given him the opportunity to properly advertise the battle.ONLY LIVING GIRAFFES In America, each one of which costs more than 15 cages of animals usually presented as “features” in travelling Menageries.The Only School of Captive Living Sea Lions! North Pacific Monsters, weighing 1000 pounds each and transported in huge tanks of water.The Famous and Ferocious Fiji Cannibals! Sole representative of their human-flesh-devouring race in Christendom, and rescued by Mr.Barnum from their captors, by whom they were condemned to be eaten.It’s anyone’s guess just who these famous and ferocious man-eaters were (although it’s a safe bet they were not Fiji cannibals) but the Mon treal Gazette reporter was fascinated by them : “The Fiji cannibals," he wrote, “are the only ones ever brought to this country — a proof of Mr.Burnum’s enterprise.They are rather hideous looking creatures as they appear in their war paint, but a little more civi lized than when captured.They are still prisoners of war and Mr Barnum is bound for their safety.” (“1 thoroughly understand the art of advertising,” Barnum wrote, "not merely by means of printer’s ink, which I have always used freely and to which I confess myself so much indebted for my success, but by turning every possible circumstance to my account”) There was also Annie Jones, The Bearded Girl, nine years old when she came to the Townships but on exhibi tion since the age of nine months when she already had a full beard and moustache.When she was being exhi bited at Barnum’s Museum, she cau sed a sensation for months by being kidnapped by a travelling phrenologist who was eventually caught and prosecuted The kidnapping may have been genuine or just another of Bamum’s publicity stunts but it’s cer tain the advertising did no harm.There was also Captain Georgius Constantine, a be whiskered Greek who was tattooed over every square inch of skin — including his eyelids.Barnum put out the story that this was the result of torture he suffered after being captured by heathen Albanians, Actually, Constantine had hired three tattooists to work on him steadily for three solid months.The Wonderful Horse-Riding Goat ‘Alexis’, An Animal Equestrian superior to any human artists.A WORLD OF AUTOMATIC TRIUMPHS! From France, Switzerland, and Germany, never before placed on exhibition.Three Constellations of Circus Celebrities! Whose diversified acts are unequalled and uncensurable.The greatest number of the Greatest Riders, Leapers, Gymnasts, Trapezists, Clowns, Contortionists, Pnntomimists and General Performers of every Nation ever congregated.More than enough Pre-eminent Arenic Talent to constitute a score of ordinary circuses.Among these were Tripp and Bowen who rode a tandem bicycle.Bowen, who was born without legs, did the steering, while Tripp, who was born (in Woodstock, Ontario) without arms, did the pedaling.There was Madame Zazel, The Human Projectile, who was fired forty feet from a spring loaded cannon to the arms of a trapeze catcher.There was Professor Bun/., an extraordinary gymnast, the flying Rhine Brothers and the bare-back riding Melville family.(“To turn somersaults through balloons while riding on a horse’s back," marvelled the Gazette reporter in this innocent age, “is a feat seldom seen, but it is only one of Mr.George Melville’s many difficult acts.”) There was a mon key that walked a slack wire, a performing elephant and a trained horse, Senator, “claimed, we think fairly, to be the finest in the world.” All these wonders could not fail to draw Townshippers from the faraway farms, villages and hamlets by the hundreds and the thousands.After playing Granby on July 1, the show moved to St.Hyacinthe on the 2nd, West Farnham on the 3rd and St.Johns on Saturday, July 4.Sunday was a day of rest once more and Barnum’s World Fair opened in Mont real on Monday to begin four days of shows.P.T.Barnum appeared at these in person “Twenty five years ago,” he told the crowd, “I would have been glad to see Canada annexed to the United States, but it is different now The laws, I am sorry for my country to say, are better kept in Canada than they are in the States, and now I almost think it would be better if the States were annexed to Canada’” (Loud cheers.)
