By John McCaghey SWEETSBURG WARD — Judge Denis Robert ruled Tuesday that Constable Gilles Laporte used excessive force ousting Brian Hoyt from the squad car on the outskirts of Granby on October 23.1982 and found the 38-year-old Brome Lake policeman guilty as charged of assault causing bodily harm.The eight-page judgement summed up the salient facts of the case when Laporte and Paul Roy picked the Sut ton resident up for impaired driving, when he told them it was useless taking him for a breathalyzer test as he would refuse and how he refused to take the test in the presence of a QPF technician."The two policemen had reasonable and probable grounds to believe the driver of the car was impaired, and Laporte’s companion, who knew the suspect, said, 'Not you again' when the atmosphere became charged as Hoyt thought they were mocking him," Robert said.“Following the refusal, Hoyt was brought to a waiting room where he refused to telephone anybody to drive him home.Laporte invited him to get back into the car although he had told Hoyt they would lot him off in order that he could make his own way home.Hoyt insisted they take him home or at least back to where they had arrested him," the judge went on.“They repeated and told Hoyt they Sec JUDGE, page 3 Province rejects Quebecair deal will go it alone ¦»&*' •V't 'MiLrtr t «?.-i Si w »» if,- a' - ' • - ; *4™ mm t‘r:

boards are already threatening to fight Education Minister Camille Laurin’s just-tabled school reform plan in court, saying it infringes on the rights of Protestant and Catholic schools guaranteed in the British North America Act.John Simms, president of the Quebec Association of Protestant School Boards, said Tuesday it is “almost a foregone conclusion,” his association will challenge the bill, tabled Monday.Allan Butler, chairman of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal, called the bill a “legislative monstrosity.” He said the question of whether denominational boards across Quebec have the protection of the BNA Act must be settled before Laurin’s proposal is adopted.Gazette gets new boss VANCOUVER (CP) — C.W.Davey, publisher of the Vancouver Sun since 1978, is moving to Montreal to become publisher of The Gazette effective Aug.1 in a three-way move by Southam Inc.An announcement Tuesday said he will be succeeded as Sun publisher by E.H.Wheatley, who will keep his present position as president and general manager of Pacific Press.At Montreal.Davey succeeds Robert McConnell, who moves to Southam s Toronto head office as a vice-president.Davey’s appointment had been announced earlier this year by The Record however, both the Gazette and Davey denied the move at that time saying there was no substance to the rumor.Davey, 55, went to The Sun from the Toronto Globe and Mail and for his first eight months was a publisher without a newspaper.Pacific Press, which produces both the evening Sun and the morning Province, was shut down by a strike.In a note to staff, Davey said British Columbia, as the country’s gateway and link with the Pacific Rim, will become an even more important part of the Canadian Confederation.“As a result of my experiences here this province and the western view will have a vocal ally in central Canada.” Under the bill, school boards would be reorganized along linguistic and regional, rather than religious, lines.The bill would also change the system of board elections so that each school would have its own commissioner on the new' boards.Parent-controlled school councils would be responsible for many of the budgetary and educational decisions now made by boards.Laurin said Monday that the bill should avoid constitutional challenges by allowing Quebec’s four original Protestant and Catholic school-boards to retain their denominational status, as provided in the BNA Act.The boards would have to revert to the boundaries they had when the act was passed in 1867.But Simms said Tuesday the association of Protestant boards will decide this week on whether to seek a court ruling on the bill.The Protestant boards have already initiated one action in Quebec Superior Court to seek a ruling on what controls over curriculum and personnel are guaranteed under the BNA Act August.The case will be heard in Marcel Parent, newly-elected chairman of the Montreal Catholic School Commission, also condemned the bill, saying: “I was elected as a commissioner of a Catholic board on a platform that I supported the confes- sional system, and we will use all our means to protect our rights.” Echoing earlier criticism by Liberal education critic Claude Ryan, Mongeau noted that, under the new system.Montreal boards will each have 40 or .r)0 representatives, leading to an “administratively impossible” system.MONTREAL (CP) — The Quebec government has rejected federal terms for a joint bailout of financially troubled Quebecair and will do the job itself, starting with an injection of a further $28.2 million into the Montreal-based regional airline.That will bring the province’s investment in Quebecair since July, 1981, to $62.6 million, and Quebec plans to spend another $12 million a year for as long as it takes to place the carrier on firm footing, Michel Clair, Quebec transport minister, said Tuesday.The province also is assuming ownership of the airline, at least temporarily.It has effectively controlled the airline since making its initial $15-million investment in July, 1981, to thwart a takeover bid for Quebecair by Nordair, an Air Canada subsidiary.Quebecair president Alfred Hamel, whose family trucking firm owned the largest block of Quebecair stock, is resigning effective July 31.He told reporters he will tender his shares to the province as per a two-year old agreement He told reporters that he expects other shareholders to do likewise.Clair indicated, however, that the province has asked another major shareholder, the Desjardins credit union movement, to retain some kind of equity participation.Quebecair lost $21 million in 1982.Hamel wouldn't speculate on this year's loss except to say it would be smaller.When Quebecair flirted with bankruptcy last year, Ottawa proposed a partnership with the province to create a new airline, Quebecair 2, that would be free of the debts of the existing carrier.Each government would have invested $12.5 million at the outset and Liberals ejected from assembly QUEBEC (CP) — Two Opposition Liberal members of the national assembly were deprived of their right to speak in the legislature for a day on Tuesday after refusing to retract statements calling Premier Rene Levesque a liar.Michel Gratton and John Ciaccia were speaking during debate on a Liberal nonconfidence motion accusing Premier Rene Levesque of “skipping over his determining role and that of his office” in the out-of-court settlement of a 1979 lawsuit.The government-owned James Bay Energy Corp.filed a $31-million lawsuit against unions affiliated with the Quebec Federation of Labor, but finally settled out of court for $200,000.The lawsuit stemmed from damage cdused when workers went on a rampage at the James Bay hydroelectric site during a labor dispute in 1974.A legislature committee spent nine weeks investigating whether Levesque or his top aides influenced the settlement and whether Levesque later misled the national assembly when he denied playing a role.Pope continues Solidarity support KRAKOW.Poland (AP) — Cheers of “Solidarity” and hands raised in victory signs greeted Pope John Paul on his return to his home diocese, while the government rebuked him for his defence of his countrymen's struggle for freedom.Throughout the night hundreds of thousands of Poles poured through the streets of Krakow' on their way to the Blonie parade grounds to hear the Pope celebrate mass today.Church officials predicted a crowd of two million would attend.Since he arrived in Poland last Thursday for an eight-day pilgrimage.the Pope has defended the rights of workers and criticized Warsaw’s military leaders, who outlawed the Solidarity trade union and locked up many of its leaders under martial law.declared in December.1981.Despite government warnings to the people that good behavior during the Pope's visit could lead to the end of martial law, Poles have reacted to the Pope's praise of Solidarity with uninhibited displays of support for the union, including protest marches.Jerzy Urban, spokesman for the Polish government, stepped up his criticism of papal remarks Tuesday, saying: “We did not rent him the country.” In a newspaper interview, Deputy Premier Mieczyslaw Rakowski allu- ded to the Pope when he criticized educators who feed young Poles “myths, legends and half-truths.” A Vatican statement, apparently issued in response, denied the Pope's remarks were of a “political nature” and blamed the international news media for that interpretation.A spokesman for Solidarity leader Lech Walesa said the pontiff will meet the union activist in Krakow on Thursday, the Pope’s last scheduled day in Poland.The spokesman.Jozef Bo-rowczak.said Walesa was given a three-day leave from his job at the Gdansk shipyard where Solidarity was born in August, 1980.Walesa last met the Pope at the Vatican in January, 1981.This is the Pope’s second visit to his homeland since he was selected to head the Roman Catholic church in October, 1978 His pilgrimage to Poland in June, 1979.was considered a spark for the Polish people’s struggle for freedom, embodied by the Solidarity movement, The Pope arrived in Krakow on Tuesday night, the city where, as Karol Wojtyla, he was parish priest and rose to become archbishop.Later.50,000 people massed below the Pope’s window at the archbishop's residence, pleading with the pontiff to come out and greet them.When John Paul appeared.100,000 hands shot up, f ingers signifying V for victory, the favorite sign of Solidarity supporters.At his first stop Tuesday, in the Soli darity stronghold of Wroclaw, police, backed by a water cannon, confronted thousands of demonstrators.The protestors had gathered after a papal ho mily in which the Pope said he suppor ted the "thirst for justice” of Polish workers.The committee came up empty-handed, but the Liberals have refused to let the issue die, even though Premier Levesque has said he will no Ion ger answer questions about it.The eight Liberal members of the committee tried to put their seats on the line several weeks ago with a formal accusation that the premier lied, but Speaker Richard Guay ruled the tactic inadmissable.On Tuesday, Gratton told the legislature he did not believe Leves-que s claims that he took no part in negotiating the settlement and aceu sed Levesque of “lying” to the national assembly.Asked by Guay to retract his statement, Gratton refused and repeated the accusation twice more before Guay ruled he had lost his right to speak for the rest of the day.Ciaccia later made the same accu sation, but he accused Levesque of “misleading” the national assembly.Last week, Levesque filed a $900,(KM) lawsuit against the Montreal newspaper La Presse, which printed a story last March claiming the premier had misled the national assembly about his role in the out-of-court settlement.Air Canada would have run the airline.Hamel revealed that when negotiations between the governments got under way last fall, the scenario of a new airline was quickly scrapped.The parties turned to saving the existing company.Even then, there were many contentious issues.Quebec couldn't extract what it considered sufficient guarantees that Quebecair would be able to diversify under the new arrangement, said Hamel, hinting strongly that this caused the final break.Quebecair is the smallest of the country's regional airlines, with a route structure that depends heavily on mining and other resource-based communities that have been devasted by the recession.Quebecair wanted Air Canada to surrender its intra-Quebec routes and allow Quebecair opportunities for inter-provincial and transborder routes.Federal reaction to the DreaKdown was guarded.In Ottawa, Transport Minister Jean Luc Pepin expressed regret and said Quebec wants to risk the bundle "and keep Quebecair for itself.” “They’re taking a chance." Pepin said Ottawa’s offer was always negotiable.“1 think they (Quebec officials) found that their huge investment was too great to content themselves with a 50 per-cent share." A Pepin aide said the minister would study Clair’s objections before deciding whether to make another offer.Clair said Quebec will place the airline under supervision of a new Crown corporation being created to oversee all of the province’s holdings in the transportation field.He described Quebecair as an indis-pensible tool for Quebec’s economic development — “a lot more than just a symbol." “In aviation,” he added, “Quebecers have the right to aspire to being more than just bush pilots.” Clair said the federal government wanted to rationalize commercial air services in central Canada at the expense of Quebec and especially francophone interests., IM Michel Clair says Quebec will go it alone with the province’s troubled airline.Firefighters abandon northern blaze NEMISCAU, Que.(CPi — Firefighters have abandoned attempts to control a huge forest fire in northern Quebec which forced the evacuation of 500 people from an Indian town and two construction camps Tuesday, a spokesman for the province's Forest Protection Service said Tuesday night.“The fire is totally out of control.” Jacques Deslauriers said in a telephone interview from Rouyn, in northwestern Quebec.“It's no use fighting it.We re waiting for it to rain.” However, an Environment Canada weather forecaster predicted the sunny, hot weather in northern Quebec and across the rest of the province is only expected to break briefly on the weekend, with a possibility of thundershowers.Ligntning is belived to have sparked a number of major fires now burning in northern Quebec.Helicopters and Convair planes safely evacuated 3(M) people from Ne-miscau.about 720 kilometres north of Montreal, and flew them toother Hydro-Quebec construction sites in the James Bay area, as well as to Mata-gami and Val d’Or.Another 110 men working at nearby Brisay for Nielson Excavation, a subcontractor with the James Bay Development Corp., were also evacuated.A provincial police spokesman at Rouyn said Nemiscau and the construction camps were “surrounded by smoke and flames,” but he could not say if they were burning He said that the houses were “probably safe, but the airport at Nemiscau likely will be destroyed.” He added that the airport “isn’t Mirabel, if you know what I mean,” a reference to Montreal’s multi-million-dollar international airport.Another forestry official said two CL-215 water bombers continued efforts to protect microwave towers in the isolated forested area.It was the second evacuation for the 275 Cree men, women and children from Nemaska.On Friday they had fled their homes and been flown across Lake Champion to the Nemiscau construction camp, and then Tuesday were flown completely out of the smoke-filled region.71 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, June 22, 1983 Celebrities watching celebrities—the Royal barbecue OTTAWA (CP> — The corn was cold, but the steaks were done to perfection and you couldn’t complain about the company you were keeping.To a detatched observer.Prime Minster Trudeau's Tuesday night star-st"dded barbecue for Prince Chari, ; and his wife Diana, was a feast of absurd quotes and a lesson that celebrities love celebrities as much as the rest of us do.An evening with the royal couple was, as Calgary Flames hockey star Lanny MacDonald described it, like ‘‘an overtime goal in the seventh game.'' It was as good as the strawber ries in chocolate fondue dessert.It may also have been as good as winning the Stanley Cup.one will never know.An utterly charmed Serge Savard.general manager of the Montreal Canadiens and former star with the hockey team, would only say, “1 don't make comparisons.” The setting was Kingsmere Farm, the official residence of the Commons Speaker Jeanne Sauve It’s nestled in the Gatineau.Que., hills about a 35-minute drive north of Ottawa.The evening began with the 1,300 guests, all bused from Ottawa.milling about the manicured expanse of lawn and helping an army of bartenders work up an honest sweat.At the risk of appearing gauche, one wandered the ground looking for some of the stars promised on the guest list.Hockey great Wayne Gretzky, author Mordecai Richler, prima ballerina Karen Kain and singer Gordon Lightfoot were all invited.Perhaps they were there but a search proved fruitless.Still, there was CBC TV anchorman Knowlton Nash in animated conversation with actor- playwright Gordon Pinsent.And world class skier Steve Podbor-ski with girlfriend and television personality Ann Rohmer.CHOSEN CROWD When the royal couple arrived about 7 p.m.EDT — he without tie, she without hat — the carefully chosen crowd of celebrities, near-celebrities and your better class of hangers on, went just as crazy as the common crowds have since the royal tour began a week ago in Nova Scotia.Premier offers mea culpas following byelection defeat QUEBEC (CP)— Premier Rene Levesque brought out the Roman Catho lie imagery of confession of sins on Tuesday as he blamed his government’s track record for the loss of three former Parti Québécois bastions to the Opposition Liberals in provincial byelections.“We ll have to do mea culpas,” a subdued Levesque told the national assembly.The Latin phrase mea culpa, meaning “I am guilty,” was spoken by the penitent to the priest as part of the old ritual of confession.“It’s evident that there are things that we are directly blamed for which are purely and simply our fault.We ll have to examine our consciences — I can’t say anything else.This will mean carefully going over what the government does, what it doesn’t do and how it does it.“If we want to get out of it, we have our work cut out for us.” The PQ was trounced in three ridings all formerly held by cabinet ministers: St.Jacques in east-end Montreal, with a large population of unemployed and welfare recipients; Saguenay on the isolated North Shore of the St.Lawrence River, where the government-enforced amalgamation of the two largest towns last year has made the populace bitter; and Charlesbourg.a bedroom suburb of Quebec City and home to a large number of provincial civil servants angry with the government’s tough stand in this year's contract dispute.‘REJECTION OF PQ' Earlier, a jubilant Liberal Leader Gerard D.Levesque called the byelection victories a “rejection of the Parti Québécois, its policies and everything it represents.” The losses brought to l(i the number of byelections lost by the PQ since it took power in 1976.It has won none.Judges could face murder charge says ailing woman OTTAWA (CP) — Five judges of the Supreme Court of Canada were told today they could be facing murder charges if Marjorie Jean Metcalfe is evicted from her home in Smiths Falls.She quoted homicide sections of the Criminal Code which say that anyone who directly or indirectly causes the death of another may be charged with murder.“So if I die within a year and a day.it’s going to be plain murder by you, and you.and everyone,” she said, pointing at the judges and lawyers around her.She said she has instructed John Tunnel, a Christian Credit Party founder who says interest rates are usury, to press murder charges against the judges who have heard her case if she is evicted and dies.Metcalfe.51.says she has an “eco- logical illness” that makes her allergic to everything outside her specially-adapted house 65 kilometres southwest of here.The Bank of Montreal has been trying to repossess it since she began having trouble making monthly mortgage payments more than a year ago.But she has been fighting back with a series of court actions, including an attempt to charge a bank manager in Smiths Falls with genocide.The court gave her a 20-minute hearing.longer than usual on a motion for leave to appeal, then reserved judgment.Metcalfe, who says she was a nurse before becoming ill last year, arrived in court gulping oxygen.She was accompanied by a nurse, Turmel, and about a dozen Christian Credit adherents.Quebec demands approval of federal municipal grants QUEBEC (CP) — The Quebec government has tabled a bill that would cancel out federal grants to municipa lities that don’t have the prior approval of the province.Under the bill, any federal grants to a city or town would have to be approved by Quebec.Any town that takes federal money without permission would have its provincial grants cut by the same amount.As he tabled the bill Tuesday.Municipal Affairs Minister Jacques Leonard said that under the Constitution, municipal affairs are the responsibility of provincial governments.The federal government does not pay municipal taxes on its buildings.Weathe Sunny today and Thursday.High both days 30 to 33.Low tonight 10.but makes up the difference in grants for specific projects.Leonard said the current law forbids municipalities from getting federal grants, but some have been able to circumvent it.He added provincial financing of municipalities is the same for each town or city, depending on population, whereas federal grants are given out at Ottawa's discretion.“Ottawa’s methods now are dangerous for administrative reasons and irresponsible on legal grounds." Leonard told reporters.“They are also unjust for the municipalities.” He called for support from municipalities to force Ottawa to sign an agreement with Quebec.Federal Finance Minister Marc La-londe said earlier this month Ottawa pays its Quebec municipal taxes by giving out grants, worth $80 million last year, not counting payments by Crown corporations.Premier Rene Levesque has accused Ottawa of “parachuting” grants into municipalities when elections arc in the offing, instead of "acting like a normal taxpayer.” #¦__ UBCOTu George MacLaren, Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor .569 6545

they are forced to use them.Police officers are not allowed to discuss department policy about their handguns, but several, who asked that their names not be used, said the guns have no long-range accuracy and don’t have sufficient power to ensure a target stays down when hit.“There is a chance the bullet will bounce right off a bone if you are any distance away,” one officer said Tuesday.“They just don’t have the punch we need when faced with a life-threatening situation.” RCMP shoots fleeing rifleman CAMPBELLTON, N.B.(CP) — An 18-year-old Balmoral, N.B., man remains under police guard in hospital after being shot by RCMP on Tuesday.Police were called to a home shortly after midnight Monday night and were met by a man wearing a military-style uniform and carrying a .303-calibre rifle.RCMP said the man then fled in a pickup truck, which was later forced off a road by police.The man climbed from the truck and pointed his rifle at the policemen and one shot him in the lower part of his body with a 12 gauge shotgun.Mackasey peddling hearing ends MONTREAL (CP) — A preliminary hearing to determine whether enough evidence exists to bring Liberal MP Bryce Mackasey to trial on three charges of influence peddling ended Tuesday.Sessions Judge Benjamin Schecter is to announce his ruling June 30.Mackasey, 61, has pleaded not guilty to accepting $400,000 in return for using his political influence to help a defunct Montreal machine tooling firm obtain federal aviation contracts in 1981 and 1982.Fifteen witnesses have testified and more than 200 documents have bgen tabled during the three-week-long hearing.Schecter ordered a publicity ban on all evidence.Dishes no worse than lawn items MONTREAL (CP) — A1 Gregory, the electronics manufacturer who advised a suburban municipality on the whats and whys of dish antennas during the drafting of a bylaw, has become the first target for the regulation.The Kirkland town council adopted a bylaw outlawing dish antennas taller than two metres in residential areas just two days after Gregory erected a parabolic reflector dish measuring three metres in diameter amid the bushes in his back yard.The neighbors say the $5,000 dish is an eyesore, but Gregory maintains it was put- up before the law was passed and is no worse than above-ground swimming pools or chintzy lawn ornaments.Federal subsidies for Via increase MONTREAL (CP) — The federal government pumped $27 million more in subsidies into Via Rail last year despite a 20-per-cent reduction in the passenger-rail agency's route system.Yia's annual report, made public Tuesday, shows that federal subsidies increased to $449 million in 1982 from $422 million the year previous.Meanwhile, revenue from tickets sold decreased slightly to $157.3 million from $159.8 million in 1981.Total passenger traffic declined by 10 per cent, but Via officials contended that wasn’t so bad considering the 20-per-cent reduction in service that Ottawa ordered as a cost cutting measure.Pratt and Whitnev lavs off 400 •• %» MONTREAL (CP) — Pratt and Whitney Air-craft of Canada Ltd.has laid off 400 more employees.blaming a continued decrease in demand for its aircraft engines and parts.The layoffs bring the total tally since 1981 for the major aerospace firm to 2.300 employees, or a quarter of an original payroll of 8,400.About 1.900 employees were laid off between the end of 1981 and the spring of 1982.Eh ie Smith, president of the suburban Ixm-gueuil company that is a subsidiary of Connecti-cutt-based United Technologies, reassured employees in a statement that the layoffs were only a temporary measure.He said sales are expected to pick up by next summer MP’s, senators to be taxed, too QUEBEC (CP) — The Quebec government intends to collect provincial income tax from all of the province's federal MPs and senators, says Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau."No representation without taxation." he told the national assembly.Federal legislators have long maintained that because they are paid by Ottawa, they should be exempt from filing income tax returns in Quebec, which is the only province with its own income tax forms.Parizeau said Quebec MPs and senators who live in Ontario would be entitled to a rebate provided they showed proof that they have paid all their taxes to the federal government.Kidnappers’ sentences lengthened QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec Court of Appeal has lengthened the sentences of two members of a motorcycle gang convicted of kidnapping an RCMP officer carrying out a routine car check in Trois-Rivieres last Oct.28.The two men a were sentenced to five years for abducting undercover narcotics agent Ross La-haye, but Tuesday the Appeals Court lengthened their sentences to eight years.Lahaye, who was taken away at gunpoint, was found an hour and a half later, handcuffed to a tree in a wooded area.A third Individual charged in connection with the case w as given a lighter sentence because he collaborated with police after his arrest.Trois-Rivieres is halfway between Montreal and Quebec City.Officials check water after spill MONT-JOLI, Que.(CP) — Environment Quebec officials collected water analysis samples across the Lower St.Lawrence region on Tuesday after a converted airliner was forced to dump 9,100 litres of insecticide because of engine trouble.The impact of the emergency dumping w-as expected to be minimal — partly because it was done over a 13-kilometre stretch of land and water and partly because of the makeup of the forest insecticide, designated B-T.“We don’t believe it will have a major effect on the environment because B-T is a biological, not chemical, insecticide.” said Jean Vachon, regional director of Environment Quebec in nearby Rimouski.Vachon said the Douglas DC-4 aircraft, owned by Conifair Aviation Inc.of Mont-Joli and flying out of Riviere-du-Loup.was intending to spray B-T Monday evening over a designated section of forest several kilometres inland from Trois-Pistoles.The lights go out on the capitol OTTAWA (CP) — A massive midday blackout in the Ottawa area Tuesday spilled hundreds of office workers onto downtown streets, shut businesses and even threw a short-circuit into the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales.Norm Manning, a spokesman for Ontario Hydro’s eastern division, said an apparent short circuit blew a hole in the pavement on a downtown street at 12:58 p.m.EDT.The cables sagged - perhaps because of the heat - and cracked their covering, he said.“This would let moisture in and ’boom’,” he said.Ottawa has been experiencing hot weather, with temperatures in the low 30s.for the past two weeks.Chief’s comments not surprising OTTAWA (CP) — External Attairs Minister Allan MacEachen said Tuesday he isn’t surprised by statements by Admiral Robert Falls.NATO military chief, that the West could unilaterally reduce its nuclear arsenal without affecting deterrence.NATO dissociated itself from Falls’s statements and Progressive Conservative defence critic Allan McKinnon said he imagines the Canadian admiral “will be called in for a very painful interview” with NATO Secretary General Josef Luns.Broadbent doesn’t believe reports OSHAWA, Ont.(CP) — Federal NDP Leader Ed Broadbent says he does not believe reports there is a move afoot to oust him from the leadership.“I’m not the slightest bit apprehensive,” Broadbent.who has led the party since 1975, said Tuesday in an interview from Ottawa.The Oshawa MP was referring to news reports that an indirect attack on his leadership has been launched by Alberta NDP Leader Grant Notley and former Saskatchewan premier Allan Blake-ney, who were to issue a policy statement today.Broadbent said he spoke to Notley and Blake-ney last week and was told the statement does not question his leadership.‘Elbows like Gordie Howe’— Iona REGINA (CP) — Federal Liberal party president Iona Campagnolo on Tuesday pledged "to put out her elbows like Gordie Howe" in efforts to reclaim what she called the centre ground between the Conservatives and New Democratic Party.Campagnolo’s remarks came as she began a six-day tour of Saskatchewan in hopes of filling party coffers and firming up its sagging support in the province.She admitted the job won’t be an easy one.based on last year's provincial election which saw the party elect no members and take only a small percentage

discussions on a $4-a-barrel increase for Alberta oil The debate on whether Alberta should receive the increase, scheduled for July 1 under the federal-provincial energy agreement, has been heating up since the winter when the price of oil on the world market dropped.Thursday's meeting is one in a series between Zaozirny and Chretien and is crucial because the increase is to take effect soon.Zaozirny said Tuesday at the legislature.He repeated Alberta's position: that there are no price rollbacks provided for in the energy agreement.* WE SfTTLi ESTATES * TAX PLAN YOUR INCOME *

Environment hearings told Hydro-Québec documents ‘full of holes’ By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE — The fourth day of Env ironment Ministry hearings into Hydro-Québec's controversial Eastern Townships export line plans began with a series of citizens accusing the Crown utility of fudging the truth and ended with Hydro's lawyer proving it — by fudging the truth on the witness stand.Hydro wants to build a 2000 megawatt power-export transmission line from Nicolet to the Vermont border to deliver James Bay power to a cooperative of New England power utilities.The hearings, which began last week, were called for by the Québec government's Bureau des Audiences Publiques sur l'Environnement iBAPEt.following widespread protests over the southern half t'Centre-East' corridor) of the Eastern Townships route from Brompton Township to Norton.Vermont.Critics say the project is unneccessary.destroys valuable farmland, threatens animal and human health and devalues real estate At Tuesday's session the critics continued their attack on the accuracy.completeness and spirit of Hydro's pro-lines information campaign.First to ask questions was Eaton Township municipal councillor and businessman Robert Richardson.He said Hydro-Québec officials misled residents along the 200-foot-wide projected path of the line by saying they had studied environmental effects before a U.S.entry point was chosen.He said Hydro had actually negotiated the U.S.entry point (2000 feet east of Benchmark 532.near Norton, Vermont and Stanhope.Quebec' before studying its environmental impact."Why negotiate the point of entry before having information on the impact on the site?No businessman would do that." "They (Hydro' then spent two years trying to justify the Centre-East route Musicians get no respect SHERBROOKE (AV) — Two young women spent the night in jail for having played their trumpets too loud for H.their neighbor's liking on Brooks Street Monday night.Even if municipal police, who were called t to the scene at 2:30 a.m., have a passable knowledge of music — this nocturnal noise of folklore music being the cause of many evening calls — they had a hard time dealing with the two women whose souls were intoxicated with music and alcohol.One would think that the women were aware of the approaching police vehicle, for as it approached their music decreased in volume and intensity.When police drove further up the road in an attempt to locate the building from where the sound was emanating.the music got louder.After finally locating the ‘sound of music’, police decided upon an infraction and wrote up a ticket only to have it torn up in front of their faces.Because of the nec-ccsity to preserve the neighborhood peace and public order, when police found out that the two ebullient musicians did not even reside in the apartment where the music was coming from, they promptly arrested them and brought them to the citadel of silence, more commonly known as the Winter Street Jail.The two women were scheduled to appear in front of the municipal court judge to answer to their disturbing the peace charge.Man to be charged with torching pizza palace SHERBROOKE — Sherbrooke fire commissioner Cyrille Delage recommended Tuesday that charges be laid against Théo Panagopulos in connection with the February 2 fire at Pizzeria Jerry on Galt Street West in Sherbrooke.Panagopulos, 36, of Fleurimont is one of three owners of the restaurant which suffered more than $8,000 damage in the early morning blaze.Delage, in a hearing at the Sherbrooke Court House heard the testimony of 14 witnesses including police, firemen and technical experts as well bankers and an insurance agent.A report from a police chemist revealed the presence of ‘accelerants’, notably solvents, throughout the scene of the fire.The report also mentioned that the fire started in at least four separate places in the restaurant basement and that a propane gas outlet had been left open.Questioning at the hearing was directed by Crown prosecutor Thomas Walsh, with Jean-Laurier Demers representing the interests of the insurance company.Gordon.Green This is a eulogy of sorts to the hen - something someone should have done long ago.If you think it over for a moment the hen is just about the last creature in the barnyard the great people think about when they feel the urge to eulogize.Horses get their pictures painted and novels are written about them.They're in the Olympics and they may end up cast in bronze in city squares with a general or a king aboard.And cattle! Ever consider the disaster which would have blighted American literature if those first westerners had gone in for potatoes instead of beef?Ever winder how' we would find enough stories to keep television going without the cowboy and his dogies?Without cattle and the stone-jawed men who herd them.Malboro country would be nothing but a prairie full of pansies! Sheep don't get quite so much adulation of course, because their attraction is for the intellec- .als amongst us.The poets and the artists and the singers of psalms.But when an animal actually becomes one of the symbols of our Christian religion, well that's an honour which must give him a profound sense of satisfaction before w’e make him into lamb chops.But no one seems to have made any poetry about the hen and that's simply not fair.Here, of all the creatures in man's dominion is the one which has cheerfully done everything in her power to co-operate with him.When she w'as running her own show as a wild bird in the jungles of India, she laid about 30 eggs a year.When man took her into his camp however, and told her she would have to do better than that or end up in the soup pot, she just scratched a little harder, told the rooster to lay off.and she kept on increasing her production until in Grand ma’s day she was laying 200 eggs a year.Today, in her frantic effort to satisfy a master w'ho is incapable of being satisfied, she will poop out 300 eggs a year or more.And each has its own immaculate package.Did you ever consider how wonderfully perfect that package is?The packaging industry has insisted on fancying up just about every food product on the shelves, but they have never yet been able to give us anything better than the container in which the hen delivers the egg.And speaking of the wonder of this busy little creature, did it ever occur to you that here is the only inhabitant of the barnyard which can be eaten before it is born, and after it is dead?If you’re interested in the more scientific aspects of agriculture, you may already know that the feed conversion rate of a growing chicken is the most efficient by far of all our meat producers.For every two pounds of feed we cram into a young chicken, wç can expect it to manufacture one pound of meat.Compare that to a steer in the feedlot for instance which may require 15 pounds or more of feed to make a pound of steak.The hen is a marvellous example of w hat can happen when a creature submits so willingly to the science of man and does its best to keep pace with his fantastic progress.But where has all this cheerful co-operation with progress and the great people got the hen?True, two or three generations ago she was rather happy, I think, following Grandma around the yard and roosting in an apple tree on hot nights.She had tw'o or three dashing boy friends, knew the feel of raising her own little family, and still had enough time left over to make her contributions to the egg basket.But now that she lays an egg a day and fills the broiler factories as well, what kind of life is she living?What has been her reward?She hangs in a wire cage from the ceiling now along with 10.000 others.There is barely room in the cage for her to turn around.There are probably no windows in that building, certainly no roosters.Her life is as barren of sex as it is of grass and sky.She has become no more than a small machine -one run by mercury switches and IBM and time clocks.A machine that keeps on growing like a cancer.And progress.Which isn't much of a eulogy to the hen after all.I guess.Maybe it's more of a warning.The hen.of course, had no voice and no vote.If progress and the great people ever tried to regiment us like that, we would protest Or do we?because 532 had already been decided by the Americans." Richardson added.To prove the point Richardson then said that, for example.Hydro said Route 55 tthe Transquébécois highway), slightly further west, could not be used because the Transport Ministry would not allow it."They always said the Ministère des Transports wouldn’t take lines on the 55 right-of-way." he said.“But did Hydro try?Did they ask about it?" Hydro official Jean Fontaine, w ho took the brunt of Tuesday’s questioning.replied “no.we have not negotiated specifically." "If you had considered this possibility.it would have made the impact studies completely different." Richardson exclaimed."Instead, they didn't do the impact study for that possibility at all." Richardson then held up a map of Hydro’s route from Nicolet to the border and claimed it showed planning the route was done in order to be able to use the same (Centre-East route), whether Vermont or New Hampshire got the lines.He urged the BARE commissioners to consult “other experts than Hydro’s" before making its recommendations.“If you take a map and look from Nicolet to Comerford (Vermont, end point of the export lines', it would practically take an idiot to go the way Hydro has,” he said.Richardson then pointed out that Hydro's projected construction costs for the project had "risen 288 per cent" in the year it has been under public discussion.“Every time they explained it, the costs for the alternatives had gone up." he said.“If that guy worked for me he'd get fired pretty quick!” BARE special commissioner Peter Jacobs replied: “Let's ask the question and see if he gets fired for the answer.” Hydro officials then said they could not give an answer to Richardson's accusation unless they went back to see “what kind of dollars” were used in the estimates.“With today’s deflation and interest rates.” Richardson replied, “and the construction business the wray it is.the costs might even go down.If they can get a 288 per cent increase in one year.I d like to bank with them." “Then there are the reserves we have to add in on a project like this.” said the Hydro financial expert.“What we have just heard is simply good obfuscating,” Richardson said.“It shows Hydro's capital budgeting is about as good as their consumption predictions, that led to the James Bay surpluses,” retorted Richardson.Hydro officials were then asked if the Centre-East route was the best one to deliver from Nicolet to the U.S.from an economic point of view.“We can’t answer that,” said Hydro’s Normand Legault.“The two (Nicolet-Brompton Township and Brompton Township-Benchmark 532) are two different projects.We can’t talk about them together.” “If the two are put together will it be the cheapest?” asked commissioner Jacobs.“We can’t answer that,” replied Hydro’s Legault.“we chose it on the basis of the two.” ’ Jacobs then observed that “many questions have been asked on the economic, environmental, agricultural aspects, etc., of the project.Now we must ask some questions on your (Hydro’s) methodology.” “Whenever you are asked about one side of the project" Jacobs complained, “you answer that it is because of another aspect — back and forth, back and forth.The people can't follow these steps." “Now, I ask you: what is the best route for strictly economic reasons, what is the best for strictly technical reasons, what is the best for the environment?" Hydro environmentalist Fontaine replied that the routes were all the same in technical terms, and that Centre East was preferable in economic and environmental terms.He presented a detailed chart showing the length of each route, the urban and paraurban space it required, the non-farm land taken, the number of buildings in the way, the different types of farming taking place in the path and the number of sugarbushes to be touched.He then explained the different “levels of visual impact” the line would have.“Economically, Centre-East is the shortest, so it's the cheapest," Fontaine said.“Technicaly there is no difference.Environmentally, Centre-East wins.So it 's Centre-East all the way.” “Their whole fact base is phoney,” Richardson replied, "it's full of errors." University of Sherbrooke geography professor Andre Roulin then said Hydro had failed to look adequately at the matter of the noise caused by the lines.Hydro health expert Claude Cardinal (a RhD in nuclear physics but not a doctor) replied that Hydro-Québec is a “world leader” in the health effects of sound.“We have even done studies for the Americans,” he said Roulin then asked if Hydro would pay compensation for noise effects and build the line to minimize them.Health expert Cardinal replied that “the two ears are on opposite sides of the brain — unlike a microphone — and on a 450-kilovolt line (as is planned), the sound is so little you can’t measure it.” Hydro lawyer Gilles Marchand then said the utility “can’t be specific about this (payment).We pay for annoyance.for inconvenience.” Cardinal then said noise is not a “discriminating factor” in the impact of the line.“Noise is only a problem if it’s a problem.at the edge of the right-of-way.” Puolin replied that Hydro “isn’t ta king into consideration those working under the line.” Union des Producteurs Agricoles (URAi Nicolet lawyer/agronome Louise Dionne then accused Hydro of saying falsely that the URA Nicolet federation had approved the project — when in fact no approval had been given.“We never okayed the project,” she said.“It says so in the documents but it is completely false.We suggested a variation, but it’s up to the people of the Sherbrooke area to de cide.” Dionne also accused Hydro of failing to retract the false information when asked.“We asked for a retraction but it's never been done,” she said.“We’ll do it tomorrow,” said Hydro's Fontaine.Dionne then asked if Hydro was taking responsibility for damage caused to farming by compaction, destruction of drainage, health of ani mais and broken fencing."Yes, we take responsibility for all that,” said Fontaine.“When Hydro says they are respon sible, in my experience it has been an aberration." Dionne said.Fontaine said Hydro checked soils “by car, with maps, with photos, by helicopter, but not on loot " Hydro’s Yves Legault said clearing brush beneath the future lines mechanically was too expensive so spraying would be used.It costs at least three times as much,” he said, "and two-thirds of all blackouts in North Ameri ca are caused by vegitation." Stoke resident Benoit Cote asked via commissioner Jacobs if it was possible to include a no spraying clause in contracts for expropriation or right of way.Hydro lawyer Marchand replied, in the evening’s biggest gaffe, that."No.not legally.You can’t legally put it in the contract." It took an additional question from the surprised commissioner to get Marchand to admit that it is indeed possible to insert such clauses in legal contracts : "ff the proprietor agrees to maintain the land under the line, would Hydro accept such an alterna tive?" Jacobs asked."Yes.we would." admitted the Hydro legal expert./ Robert Richardson.it practically took an idiot to make this map.Townshippers still wary of Laurin’s changes By Robert Palmer SHERBROOKE — Although the Townshipper’s Association is pleased with most of Education Minis ter Camille Laurin’s school reform bill, there are still a number of concerns on the part of the organi zation over the exact nature of some of the regulations contained in the legislation.“We re generally pleased with a number of changes, but we re still concerned about what some of the regulations mean," said Townshipper’s Association executive-director Royal Orr.The association is taking a “wait and see' attitude toward the regulations’ ramifications for area school boards, but are nonetheless still concerned over the education rights of the English-speaking community and what Orr refers to as the school board map.“We re still concerned over having one school board for the Fas tern Townships,” said Orr.“Len-noxville and Sherbrooke should remain free to decide their own situation, and Thetford Mines, for example, would likely wish to remain under the Quebec City board.” The reform bill, considered by many to be a watered-down version of what Laurin had threatened earlier, radically changes the pro sent school board structure The 247 boards would be cut to 148 and reorganized along linguistic and geographic lines.Laurin, in his white paper a year ago.had threatened the abolition of school boards and the confessional public school system, and pro vidod for English language boards on (he island of Montreal only The paper drew scores of angry protests from teachers’ unions, pa rents’ groups and school boards.Laurin came under a great deal of pressure and.according to Orr.much of its effect can be attributed to the Townshipper s Association “There is no question about it, the pressure we exerted bad a si gnificant effect," said Orr.“The ar guments from the Townshipper s Association were very important in his decision." The association will now be busy preparing a brief for the (Ik* bill’s parliamentary hearings later this year.Although some are considering this a victory for English-language school boards, Orr says there is still much work to be done “We have to be in touch with the school boards and parents in the region to prepare for our brief,” said Orr.“We wish to also include an assurance of English-Catholic education rights in the brief.” ‘excessive force’ used in Hoyt arrest Judge rules Continued from page one.wouldn’t take him back to Knowlton and stopped the car near a wooded area approximately two km from the QPF detachment about 11 p.m.,” Robrt continued.Hoyt was only dressed in light clothing.They told him to get out as they had brought him far enough and added they had to cover an accident.” “Ho'yt felt the demand was unreasonable and refused to get out.Roy and Laporte violently projected Hoyt out of the car where he landed on the gra vel shoulder.They left the scene very quickly," judge Robert said.“Some 15 to 30 minutes later, a motorist noticed Hoyt prone on the road, managed to have the Granby Municipal Police come to the scene and said Hoyt told him he was injured when he was thrown from the car.He suffered injuries to the left side of his abdomen and left arm.” “The police, in an attempt to explain their behavior, said they had to get rid of him because of the accident call and could not bring him with them.They admitted to having pulled and pushed Hoyt to force him out of the car believing they were justified in the exercise of their duties,” Robert added.“Proof revealed Hoyt was in an advanced state of intoxication, was rude to the police as well as being aggressive.In his own.testimony, Hoyt said he had lost control and was sufficiently ashamed of himself that he didn’t want his wife to see him, one of the reasons he refused to call her from the QPF." “At the time of the arrest, Laporte and his companion abided by all known rules of conduct recognized by our law.They demonstrated a great deal of serenity and patience despite Hoyt’s negative behavior; in short, they fulfilled their role as policemen After Hoyt’s refusal, they took him away from the QPF to avoid a possible disturbance; they should also have provided him with a reasonable means of getting to his home,” Robert told the court •» “It is not up to the court to tell police forces how to act in such circumstances, but apparently there is a grey zone concerning the state of persons arrested for impaired driving as well as moving them to and from a station for breathalyzer test.Proof revealed the police are often place in difficult situations when they must make arbitrary and sometimes spur-of-the-moment decisions.” “Citizens, by the same token, are often placed in difficult situations, unable to find transportation allowing them to return home after either having undergone or refused a breatha lyzer test.There is a lot of incomprehension and conflict.” “Nonetheless, considering the present accusation, one must ask two questions: One, was there an excess use of force?Two, was the accused, protected under article 25 of the criminal code?” “Was there an excess of force?Article 26 of the criminal code states: ‘Every one who is authorized by law to use force is criminally responsible for any excess thereof according to the nature and quality of the act that constitutes that excess.’” “The motives given by the policemen to justify Hoyt’s explusion does not constitute a valid defence considering the circumstances.“It cannot be considered reasonable or acceptable that peace officers abandon a citizen along a highway, especially considering his state of in toxication.Even if the accused and his companion were tired of Hoyt’s vulgar attitude they were required as part of their duties to assure his protection and personal safety,” Robert said."The pretense of covering the accident is not a valid defence as there was proof it had been handled by Sergeant Burcombe.Their first duty was to complete the Hoyt case.Furthermore, there was an excess of force and means employed to oust Hoyt from the car,” Robert ruled."'The pertinent parts of article 25 are: ‘Every one who is required or authorized by law to do anything in the administrations or enforcement of the law as a peace or public officer by virtue of his office, is, if he acts on reasonable and probable grounds, justified in doing what is required or authorized to do in using as much force as is necessary for that purpose.’” “Constable Laporte was not authorized by the law to act as he did in the case of Brian Hoyt; he abused his authority by using excessive force causing bodily harm,” the judge added.“For these motives, the court is convinced, beyond all reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty as charged.” Representations for sentencing in Laporte’s case will be heard June 28, and Roy’s trial on a similar accusation was continued, for the form, to the same date.RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP BEGINS WITH THE OWNER A MESSAGE FROM THE SPA 14 ji \ks MONTY (K fvPYTHON’S - ir'0-^r.- out ümpuiiffL IKING Cinéma CAPITOL 59 King Mt BBB-OTtl 1 30.7 30 The Mea of life Week 930, 4—The RECORD—Wednesday, June 22, 1983 fÜMnSwl ifecora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial One more time The Québec government in its infinite wisdom has decided to try to prevent the federal government from giving grants to municipalities in lieu of regular municipal taxes.If a recently tabled bill is passed, any municipality which accepts federal money without prior approval of the province will have its provincial grants cut proportionately.The arguments used to defend this particularly infantile position relate to the fact that municipal affairs fall under provincial jurisdiction, and that the way the federal government hands out these grants for specific projects might allow them to abuse the system by ‘parachuting’ money into municipalities when elections are in the offing.Premier Levesque would like to have us believe that such behaviour on the part of government is somehow new and diabolical, when in fact it is one of Canada’s most favorite political ploys.No government, including that of Mr.Lévesque ever sends a backbencher to face his electorate without some plum in his pocket, and to suggest that this is something new only indicates how little respect Lévesque has for Québecers’ political acumen.What it really boils down to is that the government of Québec is acting like a jealous suitor in the face of a challenge.Being unable to compete for the voters’ affections, it falls into a rage accusing the competition of ulterior motives.Federal Finance Minister Marc Lalonde was right last week when he said the government of Québec treats municipal officials like errant children, unable to go out without a chaperone.By preventing the federal government from directly encouraging local initiative it will be putting even more obstacles in the way of regional development.Municipal leaders already face considerable problems in trying to improve the quality of life in Québec cities and towns.They are far more capable of understanding the needs of their own cities than are the buffoons who rant and rave in the raritied atmosphere of partisan politics.By sticking its nose once again where it is not wanted the government will only succeed in proving that scoring points in the futile battle with Ottawa is more important than the welfare of its constituents.And no matter who wins this argument, the people of Québec stand to lose one more time.MICHAEL McDEVITT Bruce Levett Think of it — 800,000 files, all neatly arranged It was midnight down at the Old Spies' Home.A lamp flickered fitfully in a corner.A domino clicked.“I’m glad it has all come out,” a voice husked.“It’s time the people knew the truth!” There was a discreet cough.“You mean you approve of the fact that the solicitor-general has let the cat out of the bag?You believe that it benefits the people to know that there are some Canadians who spend their entire lives under security surveillance?Surely not!" The answer came with a sigh of exasperation.“Of course! How else are the people to know — and thus appreciate — the many benefits bestowed upon them by their servants elected and appointed?“Should they go on in ignorance, do you think, of the fact that they are — and in all modest secrecy — the beneficiaries of cradle-to-grave security?“Think of their unbounded gratitude when they learned that some of them at least — a carefully selected few — had had guaranteed lifetime surveillance bestowed upon them.” A touch of awe came to his tone.“Think of it — 800.000 files, all neatly arrayed, row on row.Oh.my.what we do for the people we serve.If it were not for us, many of them would go through life as nobodies.Without files.Without records of any kind." The question, when it came, was uncertain.“But tell me, old friend, can it be your glee is colored somewhat by selfishness?” The dart had hit home.“Well, why not?Now, possibly, the people will appreciate what it is we go through on these lifetime stakeouts How we sit there — year in and year out — in damp cellars, getting cauliflowers from the headphones.Listening without gagging to their inane chatte-rings."And their mail ! Oh.how I have longed to indulge in a little discreet editing." A snicker cut the darkness.“But there was this one call old man Blatchford made.” "Blatchford?Your target was named Smithwick!" "You mean?” “Indeed.You have spent a lifetime listening in on a wrong number!" He knew it.He had suspected it all along.The blasted phone company had done it on purpose! Or had they?Was this innocent incompetence or sinister sabotage?He had to find out.He must, one more, don the cloak and put hand to the dagger.“I am off to bug the phone company,” he snarled It wouldn't be easy, but gad — the challenge! ‘Why do you want public hearings on the lines?’ Following is a transcript of the opening remarks of Estrie-Vie spokesman Jackie Hyman at the Bureau des Andiences Publiques sur l'Environment hearings on Hydro-Québecs export plans for the Eastern Townships.She answers the question ‘Why do you think there should be public hearings': For the last year we in ESTK1E VIE have looked towards these public hearings as one of the means we have for stopping Hydro Quebec’s plans to build one of the biggest DC power lines in North America through what is called the “Centre-East route”.We believe these public hearings are an important means for making known the position of the people who are most directly affected by this interconnection project: the landowners and other residents who will have to live with the line and work near it.We also feel that we can speak on behalf of other people affected by the line: the Québec consumers of electricity.We intend to publicly criticize the methods Hydro-Quebec has used both in planning this project and in presenting it to the public.In spite of Hydro-Quebec’s so-called consultation period — the third phase of which would never have happened if it hadn't been for public opposition — there have never been a real attempt to consult with or dialogue with the public We believe Hydro-Québec has acted in an arrogant and manipulative manner.Based on the information which has been made available to the public we vehemently oppose this project.Hydro-Québec has not succeeded in convincing us that this project — and the Centre-East route — are justified.Through these hearings we hope to finally obtain complete and accurate information about this project and the consequences of this project.At last Hydro-Québec will be obliged to answer all the questions which they have been reluctant to discuss in the last year.We are convinced that the planned Centre-East route was a choice of financial and political expediency.We are convinced that the interconeection project is simply not worth the cost.It will not make the money Hydro-Québec says it will.It is too damaging to our rural region.And the biological effects on people and animals can no longer be ignored.We be- Commentary Jackie Hyman lieve that many conclusions reach by Hydro-Québec about the economic value and safety of the line and about the merits of the different routes are based on inaccurate or misleading information — at best a result of hasty or poorly-though-out procedures.We also think the goals and priorities of the people who run Hydro-Québec are quite different from the goals and priorities held by the people of this region.Ours is a set of values which places protection of our unique and beautiful area, protection of our livelihoods, and the quality of life, before short-term financial and political gain.I doubt if we will ever see eye to eye with the management of Hydro-Québec on this, but because Hydro-Québec is ultimately responsible to the citizens of Québec — in a very real legal and financial sense — we think the priorities of the true owners of Hydro-Québec should prevail.We are confident that this commission will recognize what is wrong with this project, and what is wrong with the methods Hydro-Québec has used both to justify it and to publicize it.We realize too that the recommendation of this commission may be overruled, or simply ignored, by both the Minister of the Environment and the premier and his cabinet.Nevertheless we feel these public-hearings will make public what this project is all about, and to a large extent what Hydro-Québec is all about —and both will be found wanting.Just like at James Bay, this project has been planned first and justified later.To be blunt, we feel Hydro’s engineers were told that the power has to go from point A (Nicolet) to point B (wherever New England wants it).The cheapest, shortest line was drawn and the last year has been spent finding ways to justify that route.We give them credit for doing the best they could within the corridor chosen.With some exceptions, the placement of the route within the Centre-East corridor was well done.But the corridor itself was a mistake, and merely accommodates the entry point to Vermont in the shortest, cheapest way.All this is nothing new for Hydro-Québec.The entire James Bay project — of which this project is really just an extension — is a disaster of poor planning, mistaken financial financial forecasting, and lack of concern for the environment.Ten years ago the cheapest electricity rates in North America were paid by the Québec consumer.Ever since Québec developed James Bay as a source of cheap power, our rates have gone up and up and up.We b elieve we’ll be paying for this project too.The engineering work for the James Bay project seems to have taken the top priority.It became very clear that impact studies on the human populations and on the ecology were either hastily done or completely omitted.Hydro-Québec experts said, just to give a few concrete examples, that the island of Fort George, at the mouth of the Fort George River, where one of the largest native communities in the James Bay area was situated, would definitely not be eroded by construction of the dams on the Fort George River.A few years later the entire village has to be moved — to a safer place.Hydro-Quebec experts also had reassuring words about the environmental impact of the James Bay project.One notable example is their claim that there were no important fish concentrations at the site of the then-planned LG-1.Any native person up there would have told you that that spot is where thousands of white fish were caught every summer at a time of year when other sources of wild food are scarce.There are many other examples of wrong conclusions based on hasty, or nonexistent environmental studies.Hydro-Québec's financial wizards have also looked very foolish over the years.The James Bay project — which at first was sold to the Québec public for $6 billion — has in fact cost twice that and it’s still not finished! The forecasts for Québec consumption of electricity — the very needs for which the project was built — have turned out to be dramatically exaggerated.There are many other well-documented examples of Hydro-Québec’s competence in the area of the social and ecological milieu.I see little evidence that Hydro-Québec has changed much.Our hope for these hearings is to avoid these same sorts of mistakes: first to protect our own area and second for the good of all Québecers.I am speaking here tonight representing a group of concerned citizens who have tried, over the past 12 months, to make their opposition to Hydro’s project known both to Hydro-Québec and to the general public.We have also felt it our responsibility to inform the public as much as possible about the nature of this project and of its consequences to the region and the province.After all — somebody had to! We are farmers and woodsmen and homemakers and businesspeop le and teachers and office workers and nurses and doctors.We are unemployed, we are on welfare, we have jobs, and some are affluent.And we are French and we are English.And we have been working together with a common purpose and a common attitude — we want to protect this very special part of our province, and we want to protect the people of Québec who will be directly or indirectly affected by Hydro-Québec’s plans.This is a very hard battle to fight.Hydro-Québec has hundreds of well-trained, well-paid experts and office staff.Hydro-Québec has millions of dollars to spend on public relations.Hydro-Québec can turn out 14 volumes of glossy covered reports and technicolor maps, while we have struggled to juggle our own farm work, jobs and families to find time to learn about this project and to communicate what we have learned to others.It is a hard battle to fight.But in just a few months it has become obvious even

Nakasone announced with great pleasure that he had not once heard the words ‘yellow peril' — a term widely applied to Japan during its pre-1945 career of military aggression.“That term has surely gone forever from the dictionaries,” he said.Not quite.President Marcos of the Philippines recently declared: “Japan still harvors hopes of dominating Asia, first through its economic prowess and then either politically or militarily.” Marcos is wrong about Japan, where the 1946 peace constitution’ by which Japan gives up the right to wage w'ar still has overwhelming support, but he is at least half right about Nakasone and his supporters on the extreme right wing of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).Only eight months after he took over as prime minister in one of the innumerable factional fights within the LDP (he is the sixth prime minister in the last decade), Nakasone is fighting his first national election.On 26 June half the members of Japan's upper house of parliament face the voters.Although most of the issues are domestic, the dominant question is Nakasone himself and his desire to restore Japan's military power.“He is a dangerous man," said Hideo Den.a leading Social Democratic member of parliament, just before Nakasone won the LDP leadership last November.“If he is elected prime minister, there must be fears that Japan might revert to being a military power.” Nakasone soon confirmed his fear.Gwynne Dyer On his first visit to Washington in January.Nakasone announced that his goals were to make Japan an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" against Soviet air power in the Far East, and to acquire the capability to blockade the Soviet Pacific Fleet in its ports.Washington was delighted, and the Soviets were infuriated.The Soviet news agency Tass immediately responded: "The authors of such plans make Japan a likely target for a retaliatory (nuclear) strike.For such a densely populated, insular country as Japan.this could spell a national disaster worse that the one that befell it 37 years ago" (i.e.Hiroshima).The Japanese public was gravely alarmed: popular support for Nakasone's government fell from almost 40 per cent in January to only 29 per cent in February.Since then Nakasone has been much more circumspect about his ideas in public.But his militaristic and ultra-nationalistic convictions have a long and well-documented history, dating at least from the time in 1967-71 when he was the governor of Takashoku University.Before 1945 Takashoku University trained young men for service in Japan's colonies (the name means ‘settle and exploit'), and Nakasone still speaks in the language of those days when he has a sympathetic audience.He believes fervently in “the superiority of the Japanese race", and appeals equally to the older generation of Japanese “who fought the white man" and to the neo-fascists of the younger generation.He openly advocates revising the peace constitution’ so that Japan again has the right to wage war.The existing constitution is, he says, "an artificial flower, a cut flower.We must let a democracy bloom which is rooted in correct nationalism.” He also ( rather less explicitly) favours restoring the semi-divine status of the Emperor— whom the Japanese Foreign Ministry has now incorrectly taken to calling the ‘Head of State’.Nakasone once even raised the idea of a nuclear-armed Japan, though he never mentions it now.He knows that he has a long way to go before a majority of Japanese share his views: an opinion poll last January showed only 25 per cent in favor of changing the no-war' constitution.But bit by bit he is chipping away at public resistance to remilitarization This year the defence budget was raised by 6.5 per cent — a far higher increase than was made in other government expenditures.In April Japan sought an informal link with NATO — "We have be- come conscious that we need a global, rather than a regional, approach to dealing with the Soviet Union,” said Foreign Ministry official Yoshiya Kato — only to be rebuffed on the insistence of France.Just after becoming prime minister, Nakasone wrote : “I believe that true independence is impossible as long as a nation chooses to depend in large part on the military power of another country (the U.S.) for its own territorial security ." With Washington strongly urging Japan to build up its own military power, that may be an opinion whose time has come.The majority of Japanese voters are still nervous about Nakasone's nationalist attitudes, but the Russians are helping his cause greatly by responding to his every initiative with their usual combination of self-righteous bluster am' threats.Moscow flatly refuses to discuss returning the northern Japanese islands it occupied in 1945, and it makes no secret of the fact that some of the SS-20 nuclear missiles it is now deploying in Siberia are targeted on Japan.But to success in remilitarizing Japan.Nakasone and his right-wing supporters in the LDP must hold on to power.There are rival factions in the ruling party who would gladly get rid of him, and the election this month is a kind of referendum.Although the LDP is unlikely to lose control of the upper house of parliament, if it even suffers serious losses of seats Nakasone and his policies will soon be replaced.The LDP is an organization dedicated to holding onto power, and it does not tolerate losers Farm and business The RKl'ORl)—Wednesday, June 22.1983—5 —________««1 Hecora Bombardier president Beaudoin feels company needs larger snowfalls MONTREAL (CP) — A $l-billion subway contract from New-York City may have made Bombardier Inc.a whiz kid of Canadian industry, but president Laurent Beaudoin says his company won’t make that much more money this year unless it sells more snowmobiles.The Montreal-based builder of railw'ay, mass-transit and recreational vehicles had a $6.1-million profit for the year ended Jan.31 — almost all of which came from its mass-transit and diesel divisions.The recreational division.which manufactures military vehicles and snowmobiles for fun-lovers, barely broke even despite claiming a 30-per-cent share of the North American snowmobile market and 40 per cent of the company’s ove- rall sales.It made $787.000 on sales of $234.351.000.Snowmobile prices remained weak as the market, already softened by the recession, suffered througha third winter in four years with below-average snow-falls, Beaudoin told reporters at the company's annual meeting Monday.A year ago.the recreational division lost $24.246.000.Production rationalization and product and design improvements brought about better yields, but snow in greater quantity w’ould really help, Beaudoin agreed.Not being a meteorologist or a soothsayer, Beaudoin shied away from predicting a subs tantia 1 upturn in snowmobile sales.For the company as a whole, he sees profits New water purification technology By Merritt Clifton Advertisements for home water purifiers typically proclaim that they use the latest technology, that they represent the forefront of pollution control research.In fact, the ultraviolet irradiation units are the only really new development in home water purifiers in several decades.Even there, the technology isn't really new.It's just that the method didn't become economical until 1960.when Bob Flatow of San Leandro.California began using quartz lamps to supply the ultraviolet rays.By 1975.his firm.Refco Purification Systems, had become a global giant of the industry.Other purification methods, such as chemical addition, reverse osmosis, and charcoal filtration, all date back into the last century.What is new is that consumers are beginning to ask questions about home water puri-fication methods, which in turn is forcing the manufacturers to supply technical data and to make improvements in their old technology.Usually, making improvements means combining purification methods.The simplest combination involves hooking a charcoal filter to a reverse osmosis filter.Each one tends to stop what the other one doesn't, at least until the filters get dirty.Two combined units popular in the Eastern Townships are Canadian Tire's Super Ste-rasyl.$84.95, and the U.S.-made Multi-Pure, whose various models range in price from $125 to $250.The Multi-Pure approach is unique not in technology or sales approach.but in documenting technological claims with laboratory reports.Multi-Pure advertises that their filters can remove all harmful bacteria, discoloration.suspended sediments.PCBs.pesticides, herbicides, toxic metals, fluoride, chlorine, chloroform, and virtually all asbestos fibres.It is the only home water purifier that does claim to stop asbestos.These claims are similar to the usual, but made in language strong enough to rouse skepticism.However, company-supplied reports from Truesdail Laboratories of Los Angeles, California.the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ERCO Energy Resources of Cambridge, Massachusetts, PJB Laboratories of Pasadena.California, all offer high-powered verification.“I think the data looks good," opines F.J.Schlink of Consumers' Research, the leading consumer information magazine since 1928.“These reports are unusual because real lab reports are seldom supplied" by home purifier manufacturers."The amount of work done wr as surprising,” Schlink continues, "because testing for 50 or more potential pollutants is slow' work and requires a good deal of care.One thing I think is missing, however, is tests of the equipment after it has been in use in a typical household w’ater supply for several months or a year or two.if the water is not of high purity and substantially devoid of suspended matter." Multi-Pure's tests do include some taken after 10 months of household service, but the house was in Los Angeles.where suspended sediments are not a problem.Multi-Pure claims that if suspended sediments do become a problem, the filter will simply choke and refuse to pass through any water at all.The Multi-Pure unit includes both a cellulose reverse osmosis membrane and a char-coal block, both of which must be replaced from time to time.The unit evolved from the Ogden Water Purifier.first marketed around 30 years ago.The Multi-Pure name was added in 1970.Marketing is presently done via Stream of Success, a door-to-door outfit based in Armin-ta, California, using semi-pyramid methods.This history is typi cal of home water purifiers.Typically, they were first developed back when most homes were still served by their own wells.They were designed to meet the concerns of rural dwellers — to intercept iron, nitrates, coliform bacteria, and sulphur tastes.Later, as environmental safety became a concern, they adopted a new promotional approach, stressing ability to combat toxic chemicals.And they’ve always been popular with travelling salesmen, who truck them into towns having water problems, sell hundreds in time of crisis.then vanish before complaints start.Super Sterasyl's backing from Canadian Tire and the Multi Pure lab reports seem to make these the best bets for tapwater purification at present.But don't spend money on any home water purifier until you know just exactly what you’re trying to stop, how much maintenance will cost, and whether the system can supply all the water you need.It s still a consumer beware' field.Proposal sparks industry opposition TORONTO (CP) — The securities industry’s move to thwart Toronto-Dominion Bank’s entry into the brokerage business represents just one more attempt to chip away the power of banks, an Ontario Securities Commission meeting was told Monday.Robert Macintosh, president of the Canadian Bankers' Association, told the first day of a forum into whether banks should be allowed to offer discount brokerage services that the lines separating the roles of financial institutions are “very blurred indeed.” He said the banks are concerned their powers are being eaten away as other institutions break into traditional banking territory by offering de-posit-taking, mortgage lending and commercial lending services and at the same time oppose the growth of banking services.The public hearings are being held to give concerned groups and individuals the chance to voice their grievances or support concerning To-ronto-Dominion’s proposal to provide no-frills security trades through its Green Line Investor Service.A panel of 15 securities administrators — including representatives from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec and Nova Scota — heard introductory remarks from six groups and have received written submissions from eight others.Announcement of the proposed service has sparked furious opposition from the securities industry, which has argued strongly in favor of the “four pillars” approach, whereby the banking, trust, insurance and investment industries retain separate functions.That argument prompted Macintosh to quip Monday there are “quite a few termites in those pillars.” It’s the latest chapter of debate since a fixed-rate commission system went out of use April 1 to be replaced by unregulated fees.The end of the regulated rates cleared the way for the so-called discount broker, who provides no-frills brokerage service without advice for a lower commission.Toronto-Dominion wants to provide such a cut-rate service by taking the orders and placing them through a discount broker.Macintosh said the chartered banks have no intention of stepping on the toes of the securities industry by providing discount trading services.The argument heard repeatedly from the banking community is that they've had a limited right to provide investment services since Confederation And they say the 1980 revision of the Bank Act left those powers intact.However a joint industry committee consisting of the Investment Dealers Association and the Toronto.Montreal.Vancouver and Alberta stock exchanges, says the exemption allowing banks to handle unsolicited stock trades was reserved for customers in rural areas tar from brokers’ offices.They say the TD service doesn’t comply with the “letter or the spirit and intent” of the rules.Lawyer Purdy Crawford, representing the securities lobby, urged the commission to stop the banks before they do serious damage to capital markets.If TD goes ahead with its proposed service, the other banks and trust companies and even other financial institutions are bound to follow, he said.The public forum continues today.The forum will be followed by a securities commission hearing to decide the fate of TD’s proposal.Don't you ever have an opinion?Well tell us about it .Tell it to the “Voice of the Eastern Townships since.1897" by writing a letter to the editor.Your opinion is very important.Share it with your community; with the leadership of your city/town, province or country.Criticize them, praise them.Make a suggestion; make a complaint.Participate in community affairs.At any rate share your opinion.It may well be the best idea we had all day!!! staying about the same.The late J.Armand Bombardier, the company's founder, invented the snowmobile.and Beaudoin said the company hasn’t lost faith in it."We belt e v e that with anything like a normal winter, this sector can do something interesting (in profits) for the company.” The diesel division has filed bids around the world for contracts representing more than 300 locomotives.But now it has only a few orders, so is ceasing all work for three months The mass-transit division had an operating profit of aim most $18 million on sales of $178 million, and has its biggest order backlog ever because of the contract to supply 825 subway car to New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority.Construction of commuter rail cars for New J e r s e y and subway cars for Mexico City was completed in May.Work continues on light-rail trains for Portland.Ore., and pre-production preparations are under way for the New York or der, with the first deliveries in 1984.Profits are realized when cars are delivered, so as retooling continues for the New York program, the mass-transit division will remain profitable without making major gains, said Beaudoin.The company will continue to bid aggressively for more major mass-transit contracts, he added Bombardier is one of the country’s two manufacturers of railway locomotives.The other is General Motors Ltd.of London, Ont.Canadian Pacific Ltd hasn't bought a Bombardier locomo- tive in more than a decade because of unhappiness with the last batch it took.Beaudoin said his company is determined to change that.“We've leased four locomotives to Canadian Pacific .to show them that over the years we’ve made marked improvements in the quality and efficiency of our product, and we think this demonstration will help our position.” The Bombardier president said initial problems with the new LRC (Light.Rapid, Comfortable) trains built for Via Rail are almost ironed out.Of particular concern is a wheelbase design problem that has forced Via to run the LRC at a maximum speed of 128 kilometres per hour on the Montreal-Toronto run instead of at the top speed of 152 kilometres per hour.The company is filling a second LRC order of 10 locomotives and 50 cars for Via.Aside from other possible orders from the federal passenger rail corporation.Bombardier would like to sell the high-speed train in the U.S.where it would be ideal for 23 rail corridors, said Beaudoin.Economic policies at expense of country MONTEBELLO, Que.(CP) — Most provinces are engaging in beg gar-thy-neighbor economic policies at the expense of the country as a whole, says a recent survey by the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association.With the exception of Ontario, provincial governments appear to have erected economic barriers during the recession to protect their own industries and jobs.Larry Thibault, executive vice- president of the association.said in an interview Monday at the association annual meeting.The findings of the survey are being presented to the royal commission into the economy, he said.Thibault did not have detailed results of the survey but said the association found up to 70 examples of provincial protectionism.They range from governments giving a 10-per-cent edge to local businesses bidding on government contracts to some outright demands that a company locate in a province if it wants to get government orders It appears the most frequent offender is the Quebec government but the most blatant is Saskatchewan which reportedly told an unnamed company to either locate there or forget about selling to the government, he added.There are instances where protectionism is not clear cut but is “shaded." The situation occurs when a company doesn’t know why it lost a contract but suspects the reason is that the firm is located outside the province.And most companies don't know how to handle that, he added.Despite the fact that some members benefit from the practice, the manufacturers' association is expected to issue a policy condem ning it.Such policies may benefit a few small companies that are just starting but the policies also hurt the country's businesses and economy overall, Thibault said.Canadian manufacturers need national markets to be competitive.Ontario has the best record of openness, he said, echoing a sentiment expressed by several other members during the annual meeting. 6—The RECORD—Wednesday, June 22, 1983 Living Summer project for young diabetics a first in the Townships Jean-Claude Baril.Bill Gullickson is a good example of somebody successful and a diabetic.Christian Roy.co-ordinator of project.By Carla Straessle SHERBROOKE — “I felt a need for activities for young diabetics in the region,” says Jean-Charles Baril, a diabetic himself and director of the first summer Canada Community Project for young diabetics in the Eastern Townships.The project, sponsored by the Townships chapter of the Quebec Diabetes Association and financed by the federal government, began June 6 and will continue until September 9.Its objective is to bring together Eastern Townships diabetics, 25 and under, providing them with moral support and a variety of activities.The nature of these activities will depend on the participants’ needs and desires.Baril, 22.along with Christian Roy, 18, who is also a diabetic, and Linda Vanasse, 23, a recreolo-gist, is presently in the first stage of the project during which they will try to get as many names as possible of young diabetics in the area.They are doing this through schools, doctors — pediatricians especially — and the media They believe the total diabetic population in the area to be about 8,900 and are seeking out the younger ones.Although statistics report that about one person in 1,000 is diabetic, Lennoxville’s Alexander Galt Regional High School has 12 out of about 1,740 students.The next phase will be to study their needs through the use of a special questionnaire the three have formulated.Baril and his two coordinators estimate this will take about two or three weeks.“We want to find out what they expect from us,” says Vanasse.“Most of them don’t even know about the Association." The third part of the program will consist of organizing activities according to the needs the young diabetics express.“Some examples of what might interest them would be meeting with a doctor, meeting with Bill Gullickson (Expos pitcher.also diabetic, who set a record in September, 1980 for the most strike outs in one game by a rookie), have group meetings for the older diabe- tics,” suggested Baril.He explained the participants would be grouped according to age and that those five and under would be accompanied by parents.Speaking from his own experience, he says, “When young diabetics are five or six, they start to realize they are a little different from their peers; by nine years of age they can give themselves their own injections, and by 12, they know too well what’s wrong with them.” He adds, “It is at this age that they sometimes reject the whole idea.” Roy states, “This is a difficult time anyway, even if you are not diabetic.” Baril explained there are two types of diabetes : that which affects those up to 25 years old, and that which only strikes those about 40 and older.They are essentially the same, though the second type is often less severe, according to Baril.While young diabetics usually have to give themselves insulin injections every day, the older ones can often take pills instead.Both types must undergo continual testing, watch their diets and are encouraged to be physically active.While this is the first year a youth project has been planned in the Sherbrooke area for the younger group, there were projects for the older group in 1972 and 1975.The fourth and final stage of the project will be to set up a committee of volunteer workers to allow those who participated in the summer program to maintain contact with other young diabetics, organize future activities and in general, help each other.Only about 30 of the region’s young diabetics are members of the Quebec Diabetes Association and have expressed interest in this project.The three co-ordinators say that if they could get 30 to 50 regulars, “it would be extraordinary.” Anyone interested in this unique new project, contact Jeunes Diabétiques de l’Estrie

dosage?EDMONTON (CP) — Taking large amounts of vitamins could be good or bad for your health, depending on w'ho you believe.Most doctors advise patients to follow the label when taking vitamins but some nutritionists say recommended dose limits are far too low and that megavitamin therapy is a long overlooked answer to many ailments.But T.K.Basu.a biochemist at the University of Alberta, warns that high doses of vitamin C taken to ward off a cold can kill some heart patients and cause birth defects in children of pregnant wo- men who take too much vitamin A.But physicians who treat everything from asthma to mental retardation with large doses of vitamins and minerals claim their patients benefit.“You can’t overcome a deficiency of 15 years by giving someone a normal diet,” said Dr.Carl Reich, Alberta's best-known megavitamin advocate.Reich calls himself a pioneer in the use of large doses of vitamins A and D to j^ight asthma and arthritis.He blames drug companies for the hostility he says cost him his B.C.medical licence for trying to treat Down’s syndrome with vitamins.Reich agrees A and D can be poisonous but he and Dr.Eunice Jenkins said scientists such as Basu set toxic levels far too low.“I’ve had quite a few cases on the A and D group and I’ve never had any trouble yet,” said Jenkins, a Calgary physician.‘‘I should have killed them (the patients) according to the book.” Other docotrs warn that fat soluble vitamins such as A and D can accumulate in body tissues to poisonous levels.According to a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, a four-year-old girl who had been given 25,000 units of vitamin A a day by her mother was admitted to hospital suffering from temporary blindness, liver abnormalities, skin and hair loss and pain in the joints.Basu said studies indicate mothers of infants with abnormalities in the central nervous system have higher vitamin A levels than mothers of normal babies.Phyllis Hodges, a nutritionist with the Edmonton board of health, said taking handfuls of vitamins for good health can lead to unnatural chemical levels in the body.“A small fraction is acting as a vitamin,” she said.“A large portion is acting as a drug.” Hodges said people can become so dependent on extra vitamin C they develop rebound scurvy if mega-supplements are stopped.Water-soluble vitamins such as C were once considered harmless because any excess is rapidly excreted but Basu said recent research indicates too much vita-mm C can cause kidney stones.social notes! Bridal showers On Sunday, June 5 a pantry shower was given at the home of Mrs.Angela Gaudreau, Mansonville, in honor of Ann Jersey.Ann was easily lured to Mrs.Gaudreau’s place by Debbie Farnam and Suzie Stechl on the pretense that they should practice activities for the flowergirl and ring bearer for the wedding.Since Ann also wanted to get out of the house to see Angela the ruse worked like a charm.Upon her arrival, Ann was preseented with a kitchen corsage composed of a gold-colored scrubbing pad decorated with green ribbon and a broom hanger.She was then escorted to her seat-of-honor in the livingroom over which hung decorative blue and yellow streamers and bells.On either side of the bride-to-be sat her mother, Mrs.Jacqueline Jersey, and her future mother-in-law.Mrs.Jeanne D’Arc Robinson, who assisted in unwrapping the many beautiful gifts which were passed around for everyone’s enjoyment.A lunch was served afterwards which included a beautiful and delicious bridal shower cake made and decorated by Mrs.Gaudreau.Ann expressed her sincere thanks and appreciation to all 25 present and especially to those who took the time and made the effort to put the shower together for her.Ann Jersey and Peter Robinson plan to be married on July 16, 1983 at the St.Cajetan Catholic Church in Mansonville.50th anniversary Charles and Hazel Barnes w’ill be pleased to welcome their

on its way WASHINGTON (AP) — Researchers say they are moving closer to developing a test for ovulation that could help women avoid pregnancy without resorting to pills or other birth control devices.A reliable test to tell when a woman is likely to get pregnant — one that detects an enzyme in cervical mucus which indicates the onset of ovulation — could be available within three years, Dr.Winston Anderson of Howard University said Monday.Anderson said the test for the enzyme, known as cervical mucus peroxidase or CMP, could be used to supplement other so-called natural birth control methods.Variations in body temperature and mucus consistency around the cervix are among the methods now used to estimate time of ovulation, the period each month when the ovaries produce mature eggs for fertilization.However, none of these methods is completely reliable.“I don’t think a peroxidase test would be 100-per-cent accurate in itself, but it would be an additive to other techniques,” Anderson said in an interview.“No birth control method is totally reliable,” he said, including the birth control pill.To test the CMP method, Drs.Lennox Westney and Balwant Ahluwalia of Howard University Hospital analysed cervical mucus and blood samples from 40 volunteers.After studying three consecutive menstrual cycles of each woman, the researchers said they found CMP levels to be good predictors of ovulation.Astronauts get special potty training sessions HOUSTON (AP) — It took $3 million, the work of some heroic U.S.Army nurses, and years of engineering to develop a toilet for space shuttle astronauts.Basic human needs that are served easily by ordinary plumbing on Earth present serious problems in the weightlessness of space and it took a major engineer effort by National Aeronautics and Space Administration to find solutions.On Earth, gravity helps separate wastes from the body and allows water to carry it away.But in space, there is zero gravity and the waste material must be contained to prevent it from drifting free in the cabin.During Gemini and Apollo programs, astronauts used bags and tubes to take care of functions in the small, cramped capsules.The astronauts hated the system and avoided its use.Some experienced psychic constipation that later required medical attention.Several toilet designs were built by contractors and the most promising was flown aboard Skylab.That system was too large for the shuttle.A new system was built, but it had to be tested in weightlessness.The toilet was installed in an airplane that can fly a path that produces a few' seconds of weightlessness.A group of army nurses volunteered for the critical tests.In those few seconds of weightlessness, a camera recorded the tests for engineering studies.Those tests cleared the use of the toilet for the shuttle.The system functions with only minor differences for both genders.The shuttle toilet resembles a unit on Earth, but is more complex because it must substitute air pressure for gravity.A spring bar fits across the lap to keep the user from floating away.Vacuum collectors for liquid waste are shaped to accommodate the physiology of the sexes.The waste is forced by air into a holding tank.For solid wastes, another air flow carries the matter into a set of rotating blades that breaks it up and distributes it along the inner wall of a toilet tank w'here it is vacuum dried.After some early shuttle astronauts experienced problems with the toilet , engineers traced the difficulties to operator error.As a result, before each mission the astronauts have to receive instructions.“We have to have a potty training session with each astronaut,” said Hank Rotter, a NASA expert on crew systems aboard the shuttle.PIZZAVILLE 116 QUEEN
