land near this town on the North Shore of the St.Lawrence River says Montagnais Indians are disrupting sportfishing to back demands that they be given management of the Natashquan salmon river.Natashquan-Safari president Rodrigue Tremblay said Tuesday that about 50 Montagnais are blocking access to his outfitting post on the property and preventing clients from fis- hing by throwing stones into the river or circling the fishermen in motor boats.A Quebec provincial police spokesman said two officers are on the scene, “in case something happened.” A spokesman for provincial Fish and Game Minister Guy Chevrette said the Montagnais have not broken the law and have not cast their nets in the river.Tremblay said the 50 Montagnais are fishing with rods, ‘if it had been whites acting this way, they would have long since been removed.” he said from his office in Montreal.The dispute arose after the band, Quebec and the outfitters failed earlier this year to reach an agreement that would have given the Montagnais control of the property and its facilities.Natashquan-Safari’s lease, due to expire this year, was subsequently renewed.OFFERED $25,000 Tremblay said the Montagnais offered $25,(HK) for the facilities, which he says are worth 10 times as much Disputes between Indians, whites and the Quebec government over fishing rights and river management have flared before on the North Shore and on the Gaspe peninsula.Two years ago Micmac Indians at Restigouche, near the New Brunswick border, complained of police brutality when dozens of riot-equipped game wardens and provincial police, backed by helicopters and patrol boats, seized nets on the re serve.The so-called “salmon war” then spread to the North Shore where Mon tagnais were involved in a violent confrontation with white residents of Les Escoumins after the whites seized some of their nets.Parizeau offers federal gov’t ‘a dozen roses’ MONTREAL (CP) - Quebec Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau compared the federal-provincial finance ministers’ meeting Tuesday to “reading the telephone book together” and his Manitoba counterpart Victor Schroeder said the exercise could have be accomplished by a phone call.Finance Minister Marc Lalonde expressed satisfaction with the gathering, first announced last week by Prime Minister Trudeau during his televised address to mark the first anniversary of the six and five program, and said there would be a followup meeting in the fall.But even Lalonde was restrained in his appraisal of the conference.“There was no concrete result and I didn’t expect a concrete result,” he told reporters.The minister said the goal of the meeting was to make sure the federal government and the provinces shared the same point of view Three of the provinces — New Brunswick, Alberta and British Columbia — did not send their finance ministers to the meeting, and Kl COKI) I’l KKN HI .ATON Quebec was less talks.-v ütfBMPr Finance Minister Parizeau than happy with yesterday’s Newfoundland Finance Minister John Collins slipped away before reporters could ask him for reaction.Asked whether he thought the meeting was part of federal Liberal preparations for the next election, Ontario Provincial Treasurer Frank Miller gave a sly grin and responded: “Could be.” Lloyd McPhail.finance minister of Prince Edward Island, said the meeting had been held for its publicity value, while Nova Scotia’s Joel Mathe-son, called it “a good exchange of ideas.” Entering the meeting, Parizeau, who arrived from Paris Monday, said the conference was called to dramatize Prime Minister Trudeau's television address last week.“If they wanted to mark the anniversary of six and five, we could have sent them a dozen roses,” the Quebec minister deadpanned.Robert Andrews, finance minister of Saskatchewan, expressed disappointment that the conference was called on such short notice and that it focused on the wage restraint program.“They don’t seem to want to talk saklUt anyth*ne kUt s‘x an^ f've' he /Vo this isn’t one of more than 70 forest fires burning in Quebec this week but merely road crews keeping the brush down along the E.T.autoroute near Parizeau said the more the meeting Sherbrooke.went on, the less he understood.Asked why he bothered to attend, the minister shrugged: “Because it was in Montreal.” He said he perceived a glimmer of meaning to the talks at one point when Lalonde seemed to be linking cooperation in the restraint program with federal funding under the special recovery programs announced in his April budget.But the federal minister then appeared to back away from this position.At the news conference, Lalonde said he did not want the provinces to respond right away to the suggestion that they use their financial clout to encourage the private sector to stick to voluntary restraints on wages.The federal government has been holding out the threat that public money will be withheld from private firms which agree to excessive wage and salary increases.Parizeau said inflation is under control and the priority now should be assuring that the economic recovery continues.In Miller’s view, the recovery is underway in his province, and he repeated Ontario’s demand for a federal-provincial meeting of first ministers to discuss the economy and jobs.He was less critical of Tuesday’s meeting than Parizeau was.Lalonde said there was no contradiction between the goals of job creation and the continuing restraint program.“We have to create jobs while continuing to fight inflation.” Smoke gets in your eyes Cruise protesters ignore fatal neutron bomb WASHINGTON (AP) — While the public spotlight has focused on deployment of Pershing 2 and cruise missiles in western Europe late this year, another politically sensitive weapon — the high-radiation neutron warhead — is moving into full production.The U.S.Congress approved a $14.5-billion energy and water development spending bill last Wednesday that included $50 million to build facilities to produce 155mm artillery shells tipped with the tactical warhead.Congress granted the request — the third from the Reagan administration — but legislators attached a string to the appropriation.The compromise bill requires the president to certify before any money is spent that he has received “formal notification” from the allied country in which deployment is planned that it will accept the weapons.Senator Bennett Johnson (D-La.), who wrote the provision, said this go-slow approach would mean “we should not get into a multibillion-dollar funding program until we know first that we can deploy this weapon.” LACKS BLOCKING VOTES Senator Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.), the Senate appropriations committee chairman and an opponent of the program, said he lacked the votes to block the administration request when Senate and House of Representatives negotiators drafted the compromise.The restriction is therefore “the best defensive fallback position the committee from the Senate was able to obtain,” he said.The bill, awaiting President Rea gan’s expected signature, also re quires the neutron shells be used only as one-for-one replacements for the current 155mm nuclear warheads sta tioned in western Europe for two de cades.The new shells were reported to have a range of 2!) kilometres, twice that of the current ones.Shultz faces adamant Hafez Assad today DAMASCUS (AP) — U.S.State Secretary George Shultz began sensitive talks today with Syrian leaders aimed at breaking the impasse over the withdrawal of all uninvited foreign forces from Lebanon, but with little hope of success.Shultz conferred for one hour with Foreign Minister Abdul-Halim Khad-dam and then was driven to the nearby office of President Hafez Assad for a meeting with the Syrian leader.Details of the discussions were not disclosed.Assad has denounced the agreement Shultz arranged providing for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, claiming it threatens Syrian security and violates Lebanese sovereignty because it allows the Israelis to patrol southern Lebanon He has insisted he will not consider withdrawing Syrian troops until that agreement is scrapped and Israel pulls out its forces.As Shultz went into today's meetings, the Syrian state-run news media indicated he would fail to alter Assad’s position, which has not changed since Shultz last visited Damascus two months ago on his first Middle East mission.The English-language Syrian Times published a commentary saying Shultz “will certainly find in Damascus the same stand which he had known very well.” It suggested Shultz has no new ideas to break the impasse, “especially considering that the United States continues to back Israel in its aggression against the Arab nation.” The secretary, ordered by President Reagan last week to return to the Middle East, has ruled out the Syrians’ key demand that Israel withdraw its 28,(MX) troops in central and southern Lebanon unconditionally before the Syrians remove their 50,000- Morgentaler supporters return to work right after raid man army from eastern and northern Lebanon.Under the Israel-Lebanon agreement signed May 17, Israel will withdraw its troops when Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization re move theirs.With Israel refusing to quit Lebanon unless the Syrians get out simul taneously, Shultz said he “wouldn’t use words like breakthrough” when asked if he thought he might end the deadlock He also rejected the Syrian demand for cancellation of the Israeli Lebanese troop withdrawal agree ment.TORONTO (CP) — Minutes after police raided the Toronto abortion clinic of Dr.Henry Morgentaler on Tuesday, issuing a warrant for Morgenta-ler’s arrest and charging two of his assistants, defiant clinic workers reopened the premises.Clinic spokesman Judy Rebick told a news conference that clinic workers want “to show people we are open and staffing the clinic for normal hours.” Rebick said police seized files and equipment but the clinic will remain open for counselling and appointments.The raid, jeered by some members of a crowd of 70 onlookers, came shortly before an Ontario Supreme Court judge ruled against a Morgentaler request for an injunction that would have prevented police interference at the clinic.The S'/a-hour raid was a carefully planned operation which included undercover police officers posing as an out-of-town couple who wanted an abortion.Several police cruisers blocked the midtown street where the clinic is located and about 15 officers entered the premises.“You’d think they were going after Bonnie and Clyde rather than women who need a medical service,” said Rebick.Police officers brought out a green garbage bag and a metal tray covered with paper, loading the material into a car belonging to the forensic pathology branch of the Ontario Solicitor General’s Ministry.As plainclothes officers re-entered the building they had to force their way through women protesters who had linked arms at the entrance.Shortly after, several women staff members of the clinic walked out, wildly cheered by the protesters.Rebick said Morgentaler, whose home is in Montreal, was on holidays Tuesday but she didn’t know where.A warrant issued for his arrest charges him with conspiracy to procure a miscarriage.Dr.Robert Scott, 36, of Ste-Anne de Prescott, Ont., and Dr.Leslie Smo-ling of Toronto were charged with the same offence.Morgentaler and some of his assistants, including Scott, had also been charged following two raids on his Winnipeg abortion clinic last month.The Criminal Code prohibits abortions except in an accredited hospital after a committee rules that a pregnancy endangers a woman’s health.Deputy Police Chief Jack Marks said there were a number of patients at the clinic and one had just undergone an abortion when police raided the premises.Police brought a gynecologist into the clinic and offered help, Marks said, but the patient who had the abor tion “refused or didn’t want assistance.” In the court ruling, Mr.Justice Allen Linden dismissed the arguments of Morgentaler’s lawyers, who said the abortion section of the Criminal Code contravenes the Charter of Rights.He said the motion for an injunction was concerned not with the advantages or disadvantages of abortion but whether investigation and enfor cement should be suspended pending the determination of the constitutional issue.“In my view, the balance of convenience normally dictates that those who challenge the constitutional validity of laws must obey those laws pen ding the court’s decision,” he said “If the law is eventually proclaimed unconstitutional, then it need no longer be complied with, but until that time it must be respected and this court will not enjoin its enforcement.” Marks said police acted “totally independently" of the court ruling.“We went in at the time we felt was most good." he said, adding the clinic had been under surveillance “for some time.” m I .Syrian leader Hafez Assad won't move his troops until Israeli forces leave Lebanon.ft 2—Th«- KKl'ORI)—WiMliHwitay.July (», l!is:i Strain was too great for handicapped child’s mother VANCOUVKK The strain of caring for severely handicapped Stephen Dawson was so groat that his mother injured him and struck her other son on the same day, a child custody hearing was told Tuesday Jacqueline Monger, a social worker with Sunnyhill Hospital said the strain was apparent when she visited Sharon Dawson at her home in September, lt*7!t.The visit was part of the hospi- tal's program of assessing the need of parents for “relief periods," under which the hospital cares for handicapped children to give their parents a break of as much as a month, said Monger "She was very upset, especially over feeding him," the social worker said, “She said it took a tremendous amount of time and the only way she could manage was to lay him on the floor and shovel the food in.Otherwise, it all just came back out." The boy, now seven, suffers from cerebral palsy, is blind, deaf and needs continuous care Monger said Dawson showed the social worker the boy’s swollen foot, which Dawson said was injured by her unsuccessful efforts to put the child's shoes on."He couldn't hold his foot straight and she couldn't get the shoe on and in frustration, she just started ramming and ramming it.” Monger said the Dawson’s other child, Sean, kept interrupting their conversation, SWEARS AT CHILD "She would shout at him, using a tremendous amount of swearing — language that was appalling to use on a five-year-old child.” Monger said Dawson finally struck the boy and he went to his bedroom crying.The Dawsons wanted Stephen admitted to Sunnyhill permanently, Monger said, although the hos-pital’s philosophy opposed constant residence for a child so young."We believe that a child that young, no matter how handicapped, is better off at home." The Dawsons later went to court to prevent an operation to repair a shunt that drains fluid from the boy’s brain, saying they wanted him to die with dignity.Knew it was an overdose, nurse tells Edm.hearing EDMONTON (CP)— The nurse who gave 15 milligrams of morphine to a severely brain damaged infant told a fatality inquiry Tuesday she knew she was giving the dying baby an overdose, but her primary concern was to relieve the child’s suffering.Barbara Howell said when she came on shift Oct.8, Candace Tas-chuk was gasping for breath, in convulsions and "whimpering like a new-born puppy.” The child died 16 hours following birth by caesarean section, and about half an hour after the morphine was administered.Howell, a registered nurse suspended in late February when the infant’s death was discovered during a routine audit of hospital records, stood firm at the witness stand under questioning by Bruce Fraser, council for the Attorney General’s Department.When she saw the baby was in pain, Howell said she went to Dr.Nachum Gal and asked him to order more drugs to relieve the infant’s suffering.She described how the dose of morphine was so large it had to be split into two parts and shot into each of the baby’s legs.When asked by Assistant Chief Provincial Judge Carl Rolf what drugs she meant, Howell answered she was thinking of something to alleviate the seizures.But Gal wrote out an order for 15 milligrams of the morphine which Howell recognized as a "very high" amount.She took the document to her supervisor.“The dose was high and I wanted somebody else to check it," she said.Howell testified assistant head nurse Betty Schulze sought out Gal to discuss the order, then returned and told her “it was okay to go ahead.” Asked by Rolf if the fact she had been at the hospital's neonatal unit only 2'/2 months had any bearing on her actions, she replied: “Yes, I was checking for unit policy.” Gal left the country in February and now lives in Israel.‘Cultural reasons’ behind purchase of porno channel MONTREAL (CP) — A Quebec-owned corporation has proposed that the provincial government buy $2.5 million worth of shares in a pay-TV network known for its late-night blue movies, an official for the company said Tuesday.The Crown corporation that has recommended the purchase of the TVEC network shares for “cultural reasons” is the Communications and Cultural Industrial Development Corp.Serge Gravel, the CCIDC’s director of communications, defended the recommendation, saying support of TVEC would stimulate Quebec’s cultural and communications industries.He added that if the offer is accep- ted by cabinet, TVEC would not be allowed to show "porno as such” and that some of the station’s programming "will have to change.” An anti-pornography group called the consideration of purchase “a slap in the face to women.” Ann Peterson, a spokesman for the Coalition Against Pornography, sai-d:“It would be a lot better if the government would spend $2.5 million on support for shelters for battered women instead of subsidizing companies showing films of violence against women.” Jean Fortier, president of TVEC, stood up for government assistance, saying that Quebec also supports some movie theatres which show so-called adult films.Cop arrests neighbour following licence check VANCOUVER (CP) — When Que bec Const.Michel D'Aragon routinely checked the licence number of a car parked outside the home of a neighbor, he was surprised to learn the owner was a suspect in a Vancou ver murder What complicated matters was that D’Aragon had known the man for about two years.But when D’Aragon found out through a police computer Sunday that Daniel Frechette was being sought by Vancouver police, he Weather Mainly cloudy today with a chance of thundershowers this afternoon and this evening.High of 22.Tomorrow sunny with a high of 26 walked into the house in Acton Vale, Que., and told his friend he was under arrest.Frechette, 23, and Yves Bonenfant, 27, have been sought in connection with the shooting death of Michael Plouffe on March 2 in a downtown Vancouver laneway.D’Aragon said he became acquainted with Frechette after other family members had trouble with the law.The policeman in the small Quebec community said he punched the licence number into the computer just as a routine check and was surprised when Frechette’s name came up as a wanted man.He said Frechette, who was on welfare and was to start in a job-creation program Monday, was visiting his mother when he was picked up.Bonenfant was picked up by police in Quebec City on Tuesday and will be flown to Montreal where two Vancouver detectives are waiting to escort them back to the West Coast.Both men face second-degree murder charges.#1________faef George MacUren,

running for the leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party.' ‘ I have not been asked ; I don’t see why I should say no or yes," said Lalonde after a meeting Tuesday with provincial finance ministers.“I'm the minister of finance today and I’ll be doing that job tomorrow." There have been persistent reports that Lalonde is being encouraged to seek the leadership of the party, vacated last summer by Claude Ryan.The party is to meet in October to select a new leader.Gautieri will apply to emigrate MONTREAL (CP) — The new director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts says he will apply today to emigrate to Canada, even though Immigration Minister Lloyd Axworthy intends to personally review his selection.Alexander Gautieri, an American citizen who is currently head of the Telfair Academy in Savannah, Ga., said Tuesday he was unaware of Axwor-thy’s intentions until a reporter in Montreal called earlier in the day for his reaction.“I feel caught in the middle,” said Gautieri, 43, after consulting with museum officials in Montreal, “but I am confident it will be resolved.RCMP loking for mother EDMUNDSTON, N.B.(CP) — Police were still looking Tuesday for the mother of a premature baby whose body was found Sunday in a toilet in a campground washroom near Edmundston.RCMP said their first priority was medical care for the mother, who was believed to have pulled the umbilical cord and whose health might be in danger.They said charges probably will be laid if the mother is found.Investigators judged the infant to be in the eighth month of development.i Ritchie says Levesque bluffing FREDERICTON (CP) — The president of the Brunswick Building Trades Council said Tuesday Québec Premier Rene Levesque is bluffing when he talks about setting up a buffer zone in Quebec and New Brunswick.Gary Ritchie of the 10,000-member organization said Levesque hopes things will blow over because he knows there are no jobs available for New Brunswickers in the Gaspe region.There have been demonstrations in Campbell-ton, N.B., in the last few months protesting workers being shut out by a Quebec law forbidding the hiring of out-of-province labor for jobs in construction and trucking.Ritchie said there never have been jobs in the Gaspe and likely never will be.He says the buffer zone idea will benefit only Quebec.Levesque said in an interview in Charlottetown late last month that he had discussed with Premier Ricjard Hatfield setting up the buffer zone which would allow fee exchange of construction and trucking workers between the two provinces.CP tops list of donors OTTAWA (CP) — Canadian Pacific Ltd.topped the list of corporate donors to political parties last year, doling out $50.000 each to the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives, documents filed with the Chief Electoral Office show.Both parties also did well with the chartered banks, sharing about $300,000 between them.But the New Democrats struck gold with a two-part donation of $62,100 from a former farming family in Alberta, $30,000 of it in the will of Jack Dyck and the rest from his widow Irene in Calgary.Meanwhile, the Tories continued to outstrip both other major parties in fund raising, collecting $8.5 million — up 23 per cent from 1981 — compared to $6.1 million for the Liberals (up 20 per cent) and the NDP’s $4.8 million (up 24 per cent).The bulk of the money for all three parties comes from individual donations of a few hundred dollars or more.Philip visits Ottawa OTTAWA (CP) — Prince Philip visited Ottawa Tuesday, scarcely two weeks after his son and celebrity daughter-in-law, and must have found them a hard act to follow.Where Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, were thronged by delirious crowds everywhere they went, Philip was all but ignored by comparison, despite his status as the Queen’s husband and the Duke of Edinburgh.A mere eighteen onlookers showed up Canadian Forces Base Uplands where hundreds strained at barriers last month, chanting and singing for Charles and Diana Gov.-Gen.Ed Schreyer met the Duke on the tarmac and accompanied him into Ottawa but there were no crowds along the route in contrast to the thousands who lined the way for the popular young couple.When he arrived at the gates to Rideau Hall, on Sussex Drive opposite the prime minister's resi dence, the only one waiting was John Turmel.an Ottawa eccentric who waved a sign that read Abolish Interest Rates.Herzog meets Canadian bankers TORONTO (CP) — Mexican Finance Minister Jesus Silva Herzog met with Canadian bankers on Tuesday over his country’s international debt problems.A spokesman for one of the major chartered banks said Herzog met individually with some Canadian bankers but no announcements were expected.Among the people he was to meet was William Mulholland, chairman of the Bank of Montreal.Mexico is about $80 billion U.S.in debt, of which about $5 billion is owed to Canadian banks.Jose Andes Oteysa, Mexico’s ambassador to Canada, accompanied the minister.The spokesman said the minister was leaving for Ottawa on Tuesday night to meet with Finance Minister Marc Lalonde before returning home today.Nelles returns to work TORONTO (CP) — Nurse Susan Nelles has returned to work at the Hospital for Sick Children for the first time since she was charged with the murders of four babies at the hospital in 1981.Nelles, 26, has been on leave of absence with pay since she was charged in March, 1981.Her case was thrown out of court last year when the Crown failed to prove to a judge at a preliminary hearing that the case should proceed to trial.The hospital confirmed that Nelles had returned to work Monday, but refused to say what department it had assigned her.Nelles previously worked on the hospital’s cardiac ward where the mysterious deaths occured.Dow says it was unaware UNIONDALE, N.Y.(AP) — Although Dow Chemical says it knew virtually nothing about the dangers of Agent Orange, newly released court papers show the company tried 18 years ago to get competitors to cut “exceptionally toxic” dioxin levels in the Vietnam War defoliant.Dow was so concerned about the industry’s image and legal implications that it hosted a meeting of competitors March 24,1965, at its Midland, Mich., offices to discuss “toxicological problems caused by the presence of certain highly toxic impurities" in 2,4>5-T, an ingredient of Agent Orange.At the session, recalled C.L.Dunn of Hercules Powder Co., Dow warned that analysis of their own and competitors’ 2,4,5-T products showed some might contain “surprisingly high amounts of the toxic impurities.” Reagan imposes steel quotas WASHINGTON (AP)— President Reagan's decision to impose a combination of tariffs and import quotas on foreign-produced specialty steel drew fire from virtually all quarters within hours of its announcement.“I don’t think anybody’s going to be completely satisfied with the mix,” U.S.Trade Representative Bill Brock predicted Tuesday before the deluge.Industry executives and the United Steelworkers union called most of the four-year program “wholly inadequate” to bolster their ailing industry, which has been undercut by cheap imports.DC-9 crash report complete CINCINNATI (AP) — All 23 people who perished in a fire aboard an Air Canada jetliner that made an emergency landing at Greater Cincinnati International airport died from smoke inhalation, although some burned after they died, tests confirm.Boone County, Ky., coroner Don Stith said Tuesday his ruling that the 23 died of smoke inhalation aboard the DC-9 is backed up by a physician retained by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation and Safety Board.Cancer lawsuit dismissed SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A suit claiming fallout from atomic bomb tests caused a Utah man’s cancer was dismissed Tuesday, after a U.S.government lawyer said fallout couldn’t cause the type of cancer that killed the man.The dismissal by U.S.District Chief Judge Al-don Anderson was in one of several cases in which plaintiffs have alleged their cancer and other illnesses were caused by fallout from above-ground atomic testing in Nevada during the 1950s and 1960s.Anderson’s decision has no effect on the largest of those cases — a lawsuit filed against the government by 1,192 plaintiffs.A decision in that case is expected by late summer.Trudeau has new girlfriend LONDON (CPI —The London Daily Mirrorsays Prime Minister Trudeau has a new

the European Economic Community by refusing to make big cuts in its steelmaking capacity.The government said the cuts, ordered by the EEC, are “unacceptable and inapplicable.” State Participations Minister Gianni de Miche-lis told reporters: “The position of the Italian government is quite clear.We shall not apply the measures requested by the community.” Netherlands to withdraw troops JERUSALEM (Reuter) — Dutch Foreign Minister Hans van den Broek said Tuesday the Netherlands plans to withdraw its troops from a United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon.He said he had informed Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir that Dutch soldiers will be removed from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon on Oct.19.UNIFIL troops have been in southern Lebanon since 1978.Their role as a buffer between Israel and Palestinian guerrillas was undermined by Israel’s invasion of Lebanon last summer.Shcharansky sees mother TEL AVIV (API — Jailed Soviet dissident Anatoly Shcharansky was allowed to see his mother and brother Tuesday after an 18-month interval, his wife said.Avital Shcharansky, who lives in Israel and campaigns for her husband’s release, said she was told in a telephone conversation from Moscow that her mother-in-law spoke to Shcharansky through a transparent partition for two hours.She said Shcharansky, who was convicted of spying for the West and jailed in 1978 for 13 years, said that after a four-month hunger strike ending in January he weighed only 70 pounds.He said he had gained back 44 pounds but had lost all his hair, she reported.Rabbis want exhumation TEL AVIV (AP) — Israeli rabbis want the bodies of Teresa Angelowicz and her daughter Miriam dug up and removed from a Jewish cemetery near Tel Aviv because they are Christians.The unusual decision has outraged secular liberals and gone to the Israeli Supreme Court, which has temporarily blocked the exhumations.The case illustrates the Israeli rabbinate’s strenuous efforts to keep Jews and Christians apart— in life through their monopoly of the marriage institutions, and in death through their control of burial rites.MacEachen discusses deal NEW DELHI (Reuter) — External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen says he and Indian officials have discussed a possible $350-million deal in which India would buy 200 light transport aircraft from Canada.MacEachen, on the third day of a four-day visit, told a news conference he hoped he had added a new economic and commercial dimension to In-do-Canadian relations.He has discussed several commercial projects with Indian ministers.MacEachen met with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Defence Minister Ramaswami Ven-kataraman on Tuesday after talks Monday with the Indian ministers of external affairs, industry and finance.He said that during his meeting with Venkata-raman he discussed a possible deal under which India would buy and manufacture the Twin Otter, a Canadian light transport aircraft.Eleven people killed CALCUTTA, India (AP) — Eleven people were slain and five seriously wounded in a clash Tuesday in West Bengal state between supporters of the governing Marxist Communist party and Prime Minister

The RECORD—Wednesday, July 6, 3 The Townships #1___««I tcecora Ouellette and Beauchamp meet over Hydro deal but no one is talking By Charles Bury MONTREAL — Environment Minister Adrien Ouellette met with president André Beauchamp of la Bureau des audiences publiques sur l’environnement (BAPE) Tuesday to discuss the future of public hearings into Hydro-Québec’s controversial Des Cantons export project following cabinet interference in the issue, but neither man is talking yet about the outcome of their talks.Beachamp says he expects the mystery to be resolved later this week; a spokesman in Ouellette's office said she “didn’t know and wouldn’t say” what conclusions — if any — had been reached.But separate hearings of the Commission de protection des terrains agricoles du Québec (CPTAQ, the farmland protection commis- sion), also set for this month and also by-passed by the cabinet move, will proceed as planned — with a vengeance.BAPE (the environmental public hearings board) began a series of public sessions in Sherbrooke to discuss the massive Hydro power-export project in June; hearings were set to continue in July with parties involved set to deposit briefs concerning the lines by August.The BAPE specialists were then to prepare a recommendation to the Québec cabinet by mid-October.But in a move June 22 that was intended to stay secret the cabinet instructed Energy Minister Yves Duhaime, Agriculture Minister Jean Garon and Environment Minister Ouellette to by-pass the mandatory public hearings and return to cabinet in early August with their own “route of least impact” for the Hydro project.Ouellette, whose ministry is respon sible for BAPE, was not present at the crucial cabinet meeting.He later said angrily he was not even consulted on the decision, and was not invited to the first meeting of the cabinet trio June 23.He said he would not attend any further meetings of the group until he had discussed the matter at a formal cabinet meeting.Equally angry, BAPE president Beauchamp told reporters last week he only learned of the cabinet sidestep when it was discovered and disclosed by the Montreal newspaper Le Devoir.He said he was wondering whether BAPE should bother continuing the expensive hearings process if a decision would be made before its reports were prepared.He said over $200,000 had been spent on the matter, adding that BAPE’s credibility with the public was at stake as well.At issue are whether Hydro should be allowed to ship ‘surplus' James Bay power to the New England states, and whether the much-complained-about Centre-East corridor southeast of Sherbrooke, selected as preferred’ by Hydro, is appropriate for the 2000-megawatt lines.Following Tuesday’s meeting between the Environment Minister and the BAPE president, neither would comment on what they had dis cussed.A spokesman at Ouellette’s Montreal office would only say that "Mr.Ouellette would certainly have something to say about it later.” Beauchamp seemed optimistic but remained noncommittal.“I come out of the meeting very comforted,” he said in an interview.“The minister understood our (BAPE’s) position perfectly.” "No final decision has been made,” Beauchamp continued, "but we expect to continue the hearings as plan ned.But 1 will leave it to the minister to tell you the outcome of our meeting.” "There is no doubt Mr Ouellette will intervene, and it will be, if you allow me the expression, very comforting.” But would Mr.Beauchamp be visiting the Eastern Townships as plan ned for the continuation of the hearings July 18?"Probably," he said.The farmland protection commission is slated to hold its own public hearings into the Hydro project July 20, immediately following the BAPE sessions.Will those hearings be held despite the cabinet sidestep?Yes.“Discussions which may take place at other levels have nothing to do with our work,” CPTAQ president Pierre- Luc Blain said in an interview Tuesday."Our role is to determine which route* has the least impact on farmland!” "All the notices and invitations have been sent and three commissioners will be in Sherbrooke July 20." Although the environmental impact board can only make recommendations to the government, the zoning commission’s rulings are generally binding.The multibillion dollar Hydro project will also be subjected to the scrutiny of the National Energy Board of Canada (NEB), which can accept or reject it on environmental, economic or national security grounds.A refusal by the NEB would doubtless cast

intent to traffick, breach of conditional release terms, and three counts of willful property damage was sentenced to a total of six months and eight days and placed on one year’s probation following his release by J udge Guy Genest in Sessions Court Tuesday.The judge ordered him to affect restitution for the property damage within his period of probation.Judge Genest put aside defence arguments for a sentence entailing community work and upheld the Crown argument for a prison term.“On his appearance on May 20 on a charge of possession for trafficking, the accused was released on certain conditions, one of which was to be at home from 9 p.m.to 7 a m.and to abstain from being in places where alcoholic beverages were sold,” Judge Genest said."However, on the 24th of May another complaint was sworn against him for breaking one of the conditions on the 20th of May — the very day on which the engagement was taken.He was brought to court by warrant on may 24 and his detention was ordered May 31.Hewas accused of having caused damages to three neighbors, to which charges he pleaded guilty.” "As to the main accusation it was in one of the four or five lockers he was using at the Massey-Vanier school that the 132 grams of marijuana was found,” the Judge continued “In his confession, he admits that since the beginning of the year, that is September 1982, he had in his possession at different times around five pounds of marijuana always kept in his lockers at the school because it was more convenient for him.On the other hand, he claims it is only for his own use.” “He assures us that he had given some to his friends but never sold any.He claims also that he grew all the marijuana in his possession in a woods at a certain distance from his home in East Farnham.The amount of marijuana he grew was sufficient to make, according to the prosecution, at least 2,000 cigarettes,” Genest said.“If the accused didn’t use the drug on the school grounds, as he claims, I wonder why he took the risk of exposing himself to be caught in possession of that drug, which, according to his statement, was not kept there with intent to sell.The quantity involved.Press Council raps Cowansville weekly for attack on feminists COWANSVILLE (CB) — The Québec Press Council says the weekly newspaper Le Guide de Cowansville “went beyond editorial freedom” in a February 1 editorial comment attacking women’s groups opposed to the showing of pornographic films on television.In a decision made public this week the council said journalist Gilles Jourdain had the right as an editorial writer “to take a position, to express points of view on an idea, a situation, a person, a group, etc.” But the council added that “this prerogative must be used with rigor and integrity as is required by professional responsibility.” “You must respect people and avoid using terms whose perjorative connotations risk discrediting them in public opinion,” the council told Jourdain in a letter.The Cowansville women’s group ‘La Collective par ou pour elle Inc.’ (the by or for her commune) complained about an editorial titled “Hide the breast.’ The collective said Jourdain “failed to set aside his prejudices” and lacked journalistic ethics by “using insulting, injurious and discriminatory” suggestions towards women, by calling feminists, “among other things, hypocrites, immoral and visionaries,” and by saying feminists are women “who want to satisfy their frustrations.” As well as using an “obscure and excessive tone,” the collective said, Jourdain “misled the public by confusing the notions of eroticism and pornography and falsely claimed that only feminists fight to keep pornographic films off TV.” Jourdain told the press council he had no intention of harming, insulting or injuring feminists.He said the language he had used would only be insulting to those whose vocabulary was restricted to “the language of true believers”.He said there was no proof his suggestions could have been “insulting, injurious and discriminatory”.He said the plaintiffs had no reason to claim that he had said in the article that only feminists were fighting against televised pornography.Jourdain also claimed that the Guide de Cowansville had offered $¦ MCI meeting Saturday KNOWLTON’S LANDING - The godfather of Québec water protection groups will be holding its annual meeting Saturday and the godfather of the province’s lake and river heroes will be the guest speaker.MCI, Memphremagog Conservation Inc., has set its yearly business meeting for 9:45 Saturday morning at Glenbrook Farm, Knowlton’s Landing.The brief session will be followed by an address by Tony LeSau-teur, head of the Québec Environment Ministry’s Direction de l’aménagement des lacs et cours d’eau (lake and stream mamagement directorate), at 10:30 a.m.MCI was the among the first lake-protection committees set up in Québec.It is also the largest, with several hundred members.It has been a pioneer of proper lakeshore management and MCI research is used by similar groups throughout Québec and elsewhere.LeSauteur was for a long time the only water environmentalist em ployed by the Québec government.He is “a pioneer of the lake protection movement as well as being a provocative and stimulating spokesman for it,” according to MCI.The meeting is open to the public.space to the collective for a rebuttal but that aside from an open letter written by the husband of an organizer, the invitation had been refused.To this the collective replied that it had never had such an offer, either written or spoken.André Deguire, manager of the paper, said the Guide's role was to provoke animated and intelligent debates on a “hot news item”, through provocative and popular editorials.He said it was very doubtful that an editorial in a more scholarly style would have had the same impact on the readers.The council noted in its decision that the Guide subsequently published the plaintiff’s point of view along with another letter of one-and-a-half pages backing it up.The Québec Press Council is an independent watchdog body with no powers.Its members include media management.newsmen and members of the public.the number of drugs discovered and the risk taken of keeping the drugs on the school site, convince me the accused does not tell the truth on that point." “Moreover 1 don’t believe him when he says that he never sold any, the evidence revealing that he actually exercised blackmail against a student to induce him to pay for cigarettes previously sold,” Genest continued.“Moreover, even if it were true that he had given some instead of selling it, it is not an attenuating factor.May I add that the definition of trafficking includes, in addition to manufacturing and selling, the acts of giving and distributing.Actually it is an aggravating circumstance as it encourages the use of marijuana because it didn't cost anything.” “The witnesses who testified for the accused have emphasized the possibility of his rehabilitation, however I must say that his parents had little care for him at the time of his arrest or at his court appearance, and I doubt, despite their goodwill, that they could possibly control his conduct in the future.The other persons who testified for him have more concern for his future, which appears to them very brilliant, than for the dangers caused by the presence and distribution of marijuana in a secor.dary school.They admit there is a problem there and doubts were entertained in the past about the accused for quite a long period of time." “In the circumstances I think this case deserves an exemplary solution.First, because I am not sure the accused actually regrets what he has done.His attitude the day he was released and his conduct afterwards precisely show a jail sentence is required to make him understand the gravity of the crime he has committed, and, above all.the repetition of similar acts by those who would be tempted to do so.The main aim of the court is the common welfare of the students which must prevail over the personal interest of the accused,” Judge Genest concluded.Judge Genest then considered the six weeks King has spent in preventative detention and his lack of a prior record, then sentenced him to six months on a trafficking charge and eight days additional for the breach of probation.The judge then upheld a defence motion and recommended that King be sent to the Waterloo Minimum Security Rehabilitation Centre.Liberal hopefuls have until Aug.31 MONTREAL (AV) —

mistake At least 10 million killed in post-’45 ‘small wars’ The diversion of attention is the trademark of professional prestidigitators, pickpockets and presidents.The focus of anti-nuclear attention has been centered on the deployment of Pershing 2 and cruise missiles, a fact of which Mr.Reagan is acutely aware.The high-radiation neuton warhead, a ‘tactical weapon’ for which Congress has alloted $50 million, is now in full production North Americans don’t like the Pershing or cruise missiles any more than they like the man who is spearheading their production.So Reagan has found a way to get around that.Like any self-respecting politician, he knows the value of a good old fashioned diversion.While two missiles have us busy crying in the wilderness, sneak in a third and hope nobody notices.It’s a neat trick if you can do it.The neutron warhead will kill people just about as efficiently as the other two missiles, but it’s needed just the same.While the United States is busy spending billions of dollars on nuclear arms trying to decide the best way to dispose of human ’ife, there are millions of people in the world working to try to preserve it.Senator Johnson stated that “we should not get into a multibillion dollar funding program until we know first that we can deploy this weapon.” In other words, before the United States opens the financial sluice-gates for the neutron warhead, they had better check to make sure someone wants one.Now they’re thinking.Maybe they should put an ad in the newspaper.While your audience is watching your right hand, do the trick with your left.But Reagan made a fatal mistake, for a good magician never reveals how his tricks are done.ROBERT PALMER New obscenity law to go further than sex By Gerard McNeil OTTAWA (CP) — Could a proposed new definition of obscenity result in suppression of the 11 o’clock news?“How far might it be argued that those news films of napalmed bodies in Vietnam, victims of Auschwitz; mass suicides in Guyana are ‘degrading representations?’ ” asks Alan Borovoy, general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.“This definition of obscenity is a very dangerous one to freedom of expression.” Borovoy is talking about the definition contained in amendments to the Criminal Code proposed recently by Justice Minister Mark MacGuigan.The new definition would be aimed at anything that unduly exploits sex, violence, crime, horror or cruelty “through degrading representations of a male or female person.” The Criminal Code currently defines obscenity as the undue exploitation of sex, or the exploitation of sex combined with violence, crime, horror or cruelty.The key to the new definition is that it eliminates the need to establish a link between sex and the other elements and adds degradation to the list of obscene matters.In other words, something could be judged obscene if it unduly exploits crime or horror or violence or portrays persons in a degrading manner, even without a direct link to sexual activity.COLLAR AND LEASH MacGuigan has said the broadened definition could be used to prosecute someone publishing a photo or film of a woman wearing a dog collar and leash without depicting explicitly sexual scenes.The amendments also make it clear that the law covers all media, not just “publications” as defined at present.That would presumably make it easier to get at people selling pornographic videocassettes, for example.But Borovoy and other critics say the definition is so broad, and words like “degrading” so vague, that just about anything could become a target.As a result, he predicts, police would become the arbiters of freedom of expression.Obscenity trials are expensive.An accused who wins faces tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees.In effect, getting charged is the equivalent of a heavy fine.Civil libertarians therefore fear that a mere suggestion from police that there has been a complaint about a magazine or a film may be enough to force its withdrawal Borovoy says that if the case does go to court, the judge becomes the arbiter because there is nothing in the proposed definition to guide him.“This definition is infected with gross subjectivity.There’s really no attempt to set out any kind of objective criteria.” SAFEGUARD SOUGHT The Canadian Association of University Teachers suggests that the consent of an attorney general be required before prosecutions can take place under the proposed law.Otherwise, the law could become “simply a licence to attack serious and respected works” of scientific, artistic, literary, medical or educational merit.The CAUT has suggested that MacGuigan refer the issue to a committtee he created last week to study the problems of pornography and prostitution.The committee under Paul Fraser of Vancouver, former president of the Canadian Bar Association, is to report by the end of 1984.Officials say the committee will deal with the obscenity issue.Meanwhile, thereisn t any imminent danger to the 11 o'clock news, because MacGuigan’s proposal isn’t likely to get passage before the next general election, expected sometime in 1984 The Commons justice committee will face a mountain of work when Parliament returns this fall, and the obscenity proposal appears to be low in priority.By (’hurles J.Hanley Till.ASMX IA1 IT) |i|tl;ss War winds have blown into new corners of the world — the dusty mountain trails of Nicaragua, the wastelands of the mid-Sahara, Peru's Andean slopes, the divided house of the Palestine Liberatiom Organi-zation Today at least 15 so-called “small wars” rage around the globe, along with a score or more lesser conflicts, an Associated Press survey shows.The cost is unknowable: Each day uncounted hundreds die, thousands are maimed or driven from their homes, and untold wealth is consumed.Almost 300 such wars have been fought since the Second World War, report the British authors of The War Atlas, a new book detailing four decades of military conflict.These have included the all-out carnage of Algeria, Vietnam and Nigeria, and the hit-run “sideshows” of Northern Ireland and Spain’s Basque region.At least 10 million people have died.Although great powers themselves have not clashed on the battlefield for 38 years, almost half the current wars could be classified as proxy battles — waged between local forces armed and encouraged by the rival superpowers.The outside powers often take a more direct hand.The Centre for Defence Information, a non-governmental Washington research office, says more than a halfmillion foreign combat troops are involved in eight conflicts, including Soviets in Afghanistan and Americans in the officially unresolved Korean War.The face of war is changing.In a historic reversal of roles, almost as many guerrilla wars in 1983 are being fought by anticommunists against Marxist regimes as are being fought by leftist insurgents.And today’s wars blur borders.“Civil wars have been internationalized,” note The War Atlas authors Michael Kidron and Dan Smith, “not merely by the intervention of a superpower, but by being exported (through) assassinations, bomb attacks, kidnappings, embassy occupations.” Here is a region-by-region look at a world at war : MIDDLE EAST Lebanon’s hemorrhaging goes on.Since civil war exploded in 1975, an estimated 64,000 people have been killed.The recent mutiny in the Palestine Liberation Organization’s ranks added a new dimension to the Lebanese fighting.Now a fratricidal struggle goq^pjg within a civil war, wrapped inside the Arab-Israeli regional conflict and surrounded by the East-West superpower rivalry.Lebanon’s agony grew from a Christian-Moslem battle for supremacy, a conflict still reflected in a deadly feud between Christians and Moslem Druses in the Chouf Mountains.And renewed war seems ever possible between Israeli and Syrian forces occupying sectors of crowded Lebanon.To the east rages one of the world’s two conflicts between countries — the Iran-Iraq border war.(The other is a little-noticed clash between Chad and Nigeria on their oil-rich frontier in Africa.) Iraqi President Saddam Hussein opened the hostilities years ago, seeking territory from his neighbor and retaliation against Iran’s subversive activities in Iraq.But now he is on the defensive, futile-ly calling for peace talks.Along the 500-kilometre warfront, the battle grinds on, in mass infantry-and-armor attacks that gain little ground but produce heavy casualties.The overall death toll is certainly in the tens of thousands.Away from the spotlight, hidden conflicts flicker and burn.In the Zagros highlands of northwest Iran and northeast Iraq, Kurdish rebels fight for regional autonomy.And in Iran’s Caspian forests and city streets, leftist Mujahedeen guerrillas wage an underground war of ambush and assassination against Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s revolutionary regime.LATIN AMERICA A lingering leftist insurgency has flared into new life in Peru, prompting centrist President Fernando Belaunde Terry to declare a national state of emergency May 30.The Shining Path guerrillas, based among southern Peru’s towering Andes, have broadened their operations, knocking out power to Lima in one recent attack.Authorities say 1,200 people have been killed in three years of violence.Another new Latin American flare-up is shaking the four-year-old Sandinista revolutionary government in Nicaragua.Rebels supplied with covert U.S.aid are fighting a stop-and-go guerrilla war against the leftist government’s troops in mountainous northern Nicaragua Another group, largely disaffected former Sandinista supporters, has infiltrated the south.The Nicaraguan government claims at least 600 Nicaraguan soldiers and civilians, and more than 2,000 rebels, have been killed.In a way, the Nicaragua fighting is a spillover from the civil war in nearby El Salvador.U.S.officials say their strategy is to stop a flow of arms from Nicaragua to the guerrillas battling El Salvador’s U.S.-supported, right-wing government.Tc.xSt.oM \ VJNSa IKôowsi.\ I "j tl'M i?tes Nor' Istëë'ÆO.bdaneseAvwf MencsY) or \ teian-/ ujlno is j A li\te Or 3\\ o£os.r - A> The alliance of five leftist insurgent factions has fought Salvadoran troops to a stalemate.The embattled army has turned to new tactics — search-and-destroy missions in which small units stay in the field to patrol and ambush.In 1982, third year of the war, 1,040 soldiers and 2,000 guerrillas were killed, the government says.But the left-right struggle is bloodiest among civilians.An estimated 42,000 have been killed, most believed slain by right-wing “death squads” for supposed leftist allegiances.In neighboring Guatemala, guerrilla war has simmered for two decades.Four rebel groups, fighting in the northwest highlands and southwest, are trying to bring down the rightist government of Gen.Efrain Rios Montt.Two years ago, Colombia’s civilian democratic government declared the M-19 guerrilla movement all but dead.But in one recent firelight in the southern Colombian jungles, the rebels killed 11 soldiers and policemen, while losing 23 of their own fighters.ASIA South Asia’s two grim little wars have cost hundreds of thousands of lives.The civil war wracking remote Afghanistan for more than four years has left at least one million people dead or wounded.One-quarter of the country’s 15 million people are believed to have fled to neighboring Pakistan or Iran An estimated 100,000 Soviet troops and 30,000 soldiers of the pro-Soviet Afghan government are fighting anti-Communist Moslem tribesmen — an elusive enemy at home in the rugged Hindu Kush mountains.The Soviet Union, which western diplomats say has lost about 20,000 men dead and wounded in Afghanistan, appears increasingly eager to end the war.Exploratory peace talks have begun Cambodia’s latest bloodletting has las- ted as long as the Afghan war, and produced hundreds of thousands of refugees and untold thousands of dead.A Vietnamese force that invaded Cambodia in 1978, installing a new government there, has been pursuing the guerrilla remnants of Pol Pot’s old regime in the western forests.These Chinese-supplied, Communist Khmer Rouge guerrillas are allied with two non-Communist resistance groups.A Vietnamese offensive devastated rebel bases in April, and in May the Vietnamese announced the withdrawal of some of their more than 160,000 troops.But the insurgents claim to be hitting back, even against targets in Phnom Penh, the capital.For a decade, President Ferdinand Marcos’s authoritarian government alternately hammered and cajoled Moslem separatist guerrillas in the southern Philippines.But now that the Moslem insurrection is winding down, a years-old insurgency by the Communist New People’s Army is gaining force.Other lingering Communist insurgencies trouble the governments of Thailand and Malaysia, and small-scale resistance to central governments continues among tribal groups in Laos, Burma and India.AFRICA The world’s youngest and oldest wars embroil Africa’s northeastern quarter.In the Saharan emptiness of northern Chad, as many as 4,000 rebels struck south in mid-June against troops of Hissene Habre’s Chadian government, capturing the oasis town of Faya-Largeau.The invaders are loyal to Goukouni Oueddei, who was ousted by Habre as president a year ago, and is reported to have strong Libyan support.The world’s longest war is the 21-year-old struggle of separatist guerrillas in the northern Ethiopian province of Eritrea.The Marxist government, whose forces are aided by hundreds of Soviet advisers.announces regularly the rebels are about to be crushed.But the insurgents hang on, and in the spring reported launching a major offensive from their Nakfa mountain redoubt.Nearly 5,000 kilometres to the west, where the Sahara meets the Atlantic, desert nomad guerrillas have waged a hit-run campaign against the Moroccan army, in a bid to establish an independent state in the former Spanish Sahara.Morocco asserts sovereignty over the territory, abandoned by Spain in 1976.An Organization of African Unity summit last month called for negotiations between Morocco and the Polisario Front guerrillas.A trio of brushfire wars, in some ways intertwined, blazes across Africa’s southern cone.In Angola, the UNITA guerrilla faction that lost a 1976 civil war fights on against the Marxist government.From bases in the southeast, UNITA claims to be making “a spectacular advance” northward.But the government, which accuses white-governed South Africa of financing UNITA, insists the rebels pose no threat.Some 25,000 Cuban troops support the government.To the south, a 17-year-old bush war drags on for the independence of South-West Africa, or Namibia, a territory controlled by South Africa.Black nationalist Namibian guerrillas based in Angola periodically strike across the border against South African forces.The South Africans retaliate with raids into Angola.The South African military reports a 1982 death toll of 1,268 guerrillas, 77 soldiers and police, and 2,139 civilians.Secret South Africa-Angola talks on a possible ceasefire have shown signs of progress.In the third “small war,” the South Africans are accused of propping up a rebel army in another neighboring black state, Marxist-governed Mozambique. I Farm and business The KKCOKI)—Wednesday, July 6, llts.'i- the1 «ccora Soviets using capitalist strategy to attract buyers in a glutted market NEW YORK (AP) — Earlier this year, the Soviet Union stole a line from the capitalists’ book by cutting its oil prices to attract buyers in a glutted market.The strategy worked, and warnings quickly arose: The Russians are coming! Even the OPEC oil cartel, which paid little attention to other oil sellers in years past, was alarmed.In June.OPEC dispatched a representative to Moscow for a “dialogue" on oil policies.Amid a flurry of attention to the new Soviet moves, one U.S.newspaper asked, “Could it be that the Soviets are becoming the new sheiks' of the oil world?" The answer, it seems, is no.For nearly a decade the Soviet Union has ranked as the world’s biggest producer of oil, and its daily export of 3.;i million barrels ranks second in the world to Saudi Arabia's four million barrels.Yet the Soviet Union has had little influence on oil prices because most of its exports are to its Eastern Euro- QFL coordinates venture capital project MONTREAL (CP) — The business community appears willing to support a plan that will call upon Quebec workers to voluntarily contribute to a fund to invest in equity positions in companies.The ambitious venture capital project, to be co-ordinated by the Quebec Federation of Labor, is just getting off the ground after being approved by the Quebec national assembly.The government is also providing a $10-million low-interest start-up loan.Under the plan, workers will be asked to donate between $2.50 and $5 each week to buy shares in companies that need money to preserve or create jobs.If things go according to plan and enough workers enlist, the fund will reach a projected $200 million in three years and $455 million in five years.Companies who collect will benefit by keeping the cash and the interest for short periods of time.The fund will be limited to investing no more than five per cent of its assets in any one company.Observers say the project could lessen adversarial attitudes between labor and management.“From a philosophical viewpoint, you have to say its a good trend.” said Pierre Lortie, president of the Montreal Exchange."Basically, the more people participate in the ownership of companies, the more realistic will be the demands that they place on them." Montreal Board of Trade president Gordon Fehr was more cautious, but said: “We would support any activity that facilitates individuals' investing in private enterprise.” Pierre-Richard Clement, the intergovernmental affairs official at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said the organization welcomes new means of equity infusion into small companies.But both he and Patricia Johnston, CFIB vice-president, said the fund should not be used to encourage small companies to unionize.Johnston said the CFIB is concerned that companies who need venture capital might not get it because seven of the 13 members of the board that will administrate the fund are to be chosen by the labor federation.That could bring about a favoring of unionized companies, she said, noting that most small capital short companies are not unionized.Jean-Guy Frenette, QFL research director, said all companies will get the same chance.The federation plans to enlist 2.500 members to start spreading the word among Quebec employees in mid-August.: 1 » Allan inspired by Walter Scott?It is quite probable that the builder and owner of the sidewheel steamer, Lady of The Lake, that plied up and down the Memphrema-gog for many years, was inspired by the title of a book by Sir Walter Scott.Is it possible that the builder and owner, Sir Hugh Allan, could have been inspired by his contemporary, Sir Walter Scott?Both men were born in Scotland.Sir Walter Scott lived from 1771 'til 1832, and Sir Hugh Allan from 1810 until 1882.Although Sir Walter was a professional lawyer, he became famous for his writings.As example, in 1810 he wrote a book of poetry entitled Lady of the Lake, a love story in six cantos.The setting for this famous book was Loch Katrine in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland.The book was written the same year that Sir Hugh Allan was born and very probably as a young man he read the book and was very deeply moved by this touching love story ; so impressed was he that in later years when he came to Lake Mem-phremagog and saw this body of water and the hills so closely resembling his beloved Scotland he made up Bubbles By JACQUES BOISVERT of the Société Historique du Lac Memphrémagog Inc.his mind to call one of his ships the ‘Lady of the Lake’.Sir Hugh Allan was known to be the wealthiest man in Canada.As president of Allan Royal Mail Line, he owned many ships but, none with the charm of ‘Lady of the Lake’.Built in 1867 on the Clyde River in Scotland, it was unusually long -167 feet.In order to get it to Lake Mem-phremagog, many events took place.First, it had to be dismantled, then transported to a port in the United States, and on to Sherbrooke, Quebec, where horse drawn wagons got it to Magog.At Magog a special wharf had to be erected for assembling and launching of this ship, which then cost all of $3,000.That site was about 1,000 feet from where Magog’s water pumping station now sits.When the ship was reassembled and christened, it was to see use through until 1917, making two trips a day from Magog to Newport, Vermont, stopping at numerous stations along the way.We re told that passengers paid the same fee for travel throughout all those years.In 1868, Captain George W.Fogg was appointed master of the Lady of the Lake’, and he continued in this position until he was compelled by sickness to give up his command to Captain Cleveland, whose post was later taken by Captain Bullock.Captain Fogg came to Lake Memphrema-gog in 1840 and did much for navigation projects.He was often called the ‘father of Newport’.This is born out in the realization, that The City of Newport was incorporated in 1918, and had a likeness of the ‘Lady of the Lake' used in the municipal seal.pean satellites and Cuba.Last year, however, shipments to its allies were cut back to allow more sales to Western Europe.Sales to ti e West provide hard currency- that is, money accepted for international trade — while the Soviet allies pay lower prices denominated in rubles.But while the Soviets have surprised their oil-exporting competitors by grabbing a bigger share of the Western market, many experts in the United States and Europe say the Soviets' biggest gains are behind them.“They are not an emerging oil po- wer.” says Michael Roeskau, a specialist in Soviet energy policy at the International Energy Agency in Paris.Roeskau's agency estimates Soviet earnings from oil exports to the West will drop by 40 per cent over the next three years from 1982’s $16.4 billion, assuming prices don’t fall further.That still would be a far cry from what the U.S.Central Intelligence Agency once predicted.In a 1977 report that has become infamous in industry circles, the CIA predicted the Soviet Union would be importing oil by 1985— now it appears the Soviets will be exporting oil into the next century.Among the limits on Soviet oil po wer are a growing internal appetite for oil, a lack of development technology and a fear of pushing prices too low.“They want to keep a good piece of the export market, but they don't want to break it,” says Richard Bur nside, a Soviet specialist at Standard Oil Co.of California.Oil accounts for nearly two-thirds of the Soviets' ex- port income.Even so, the Soviets made big strides last year while many oil ex porters lost ground.Despite a third straight year of do dining world demand, the Soviets in creased earnings from oil sold to Wes tern Europe by 18 per cent from 1982; raised the volume of its oil exports to non-Eastern Bloc countries by nearly 41) percent, putting the Soviets among the world's top exporters.and increa sed domestic oil production slightly to a estimated 12.3 million barrels daily.Threat of agricultural trade was has eased The threat of an agricultural trade war between the United States and the European Economic Community has eased in recent weeks as a result of negotiatons between the two parties.In March.U .S.Agriculture Secretary John Block complained about European subsidies of surplus farm production and threatened retaliatory action.He said the lower prices which resulted from the subsidies made it difficult for U.S.farmers to be competitive.Now negotiators have agreed to set up a committee to work on minimizing the use of farm subsidies by clarifying the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which regulates international trade.The agreement says trading partners should avoid using subsidies to help export farm and other primary products.The new committee is a welcome development for Canadian farmers.Experts have said a trade war would drive down prices of many internatio- nal commodities, including wheat and other grains.After staying away for four years, the Alberta chicken industry has decided to join the Canadian Chicken Marketing Agency, which since its formation in 1979 has allocated chicken quotas between provinces.In a deal negotiated in early June, Alberta’s chicken marketing board agreed to join the agency in return for a 1983 quota of 35 million kilograms, a drop from 1982 production of about four million kilograms.In return, the national agency, will suspend legal action against the province’s producers for selling chickens outside Alberta.Jim Chalmers, president of the Ontario Chicken Producers Marketing Board, welcomed the Alberta entry into the national plan, saying he favored the decision.Before the agreement comes into force, however, the deal must be ratified by Alberta’s chicken producers.Low-priced Polish and Mexican strawberries have driven some processed strawberry farmers out of business in Ontario, but new varieties and harvesting methods promise to rejuvenate the industry.Lyle Vanclief of Ameliasburgh.a rural community in eastern Ontario, said researchers are working to develop suitable varieties of strawberries for processing and a prototype mechanical harvester is being used on a number of plots in southern Ontario.Vanclief, who grows about 10 hectares of strawberries, said that during the 1970s, Mexico and Poland were able to sell processed strawberries in Ontario for less money than Ontario farmers could grow them.But that should change as new varieties come on the market and the new harvester reduces labor costs, he said.“Nobody is excited about the machine yet, though,” he said.“It still needs a lot of work before it does the job properly.” A supply management marketing board for Canadian tobacco, 90 per cent of which is grown In Ontario, could be established by 1984, says the president of the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers Marketing Board.George Demeyers said the idea for a national board, which would control supply through quotas, has become popular with Ontario gro vers frustrated by negotiations with the large ci garette companies.After months of talks, the Ontario board finally settled for a minimum of $1.60 per pound, only 2.6 per cent higher than last year's minimum price.Before the settlement was reached in May, about 1,500 growers signed a petition favoring a national supply management board.The provincial board is now working on a draft plan for a national board and intends to hold a producer plebiscite as soon as possible.Edmonton musician adds Canadian flavor to West EDMONTON (CP) — Already recognized as one of Los Angeles’ hottest music producers, former Edmontonian David Foster is ready to move from behind the scenes to a front-and-centre position.The 33-year-old started as a piano player in the local Tommy Banks Orchestra 14 years ago.As a producer, his lengthy production credits range from the Kenny Rogers-Sheena Easton duet We’ve Got Tonight to The Tubes’ Wild Women of Wongo.Earth, Wind And Fire’s After The Love Has Gone, Chicago’s Hard to Say I’m Sorry, and the Grammy-award winning cast album of Broadway's Dreamgirls also share his unique stamp.But Foster has decided he’s ready to step into the limelight himself with an upcoming instrumental solo album and as musical director of Vancouver talk-show host Allan Thicke’s new television show, Thicke of the Night.Foster is back in hometown Edmonton briefly to attend a joint conference of the Alberta Recording Industry and the Canadian Association of Performers and Composers.An acclaimed songwriter, Foster has penned such hits as Manhattan Transter the Love has Gone, and Hard to Say I’m Sorry.His music has a distinctive sound, but Foster says he wasn't aware of it until six months ago w’hen people began asking him which songs he hadn’t worked on.He says when he first moved to Los Angeles, he took his own Canadian flavor with him.“There's a sound that comes from Canadians, even West Coast vs.East Coast,” he says.“And it’s a sound nobody can really pinpoint.I knew I had a certain freshness that was going tô be conducive to what was happening down there.Now years later, I realize I look for that very same thing in performers.” Foster places a special emphasis on keyboards, an instrument rooted in his classical piano training.“The song Hard to Say I’m Sorry, which I co-wrote with Peter Cetera, is just a straight rip-off of some classical piece,” he admits.“I don’t know which piece, but it is so heavily classically influenced.” Other Foster trademarks are funky.syncopated rhythms such as the song he wrote for Manhattan Transfer, and unpredictable chord changes.“I get away with so much musically,” he says.“The chords in After the Love Has Gone do not belong anywhere near contemporary radio.1 mean there’s bebop chords in there, but it went No.1.” Some of Foster’s critics have accu sed him of being too slick, too sophisticated, but he says the public is getting what it wants.“For the longest time I was making the kind of records you arc hearing now and having no success with them,” he says."They seemed too middle of-the road.And then, bang, everything just popped and it locked in.” FITNESS NOW AND HOW How does fitness start

practically unnoticed into major league baseball in the latter part of 1979, Dan Quisenberry, Kan sas City Royals' sidearming, sinkerballing relief pitcher, has set down enemy batters at a record pace.Quisenberry has fooled the experts as well as the batters Three years ago, many observers predicted Quisenberry would be a one-season flash, quickly driven into oblivion when hit- ters got acquainted with his puny sin-kerball.But in 1982 he led the American League with 35 saves.And now, nearly halfway through the 1983 season, he leads the majors with 18 saves and owns a sparkling 1.92 earned-run average.And since 1979 he has amassed a big-league high 108 saves.“It’s a surprising feat for a guy who doesn’t have a major league fastball,” he said.“Just a little sinker and a little control.” Quisenberry burst into stardom in 1980 with a non-existent fastball, a refreshing sense of humor and an easy-to-hit, groundball-inducing sinker which he dubbed “the Peggy Lee” be- It’s called Trouting’ in Newfoundland, not fishing, silly KHODY’S POND, Nfld.(CP) Newfoundland’s “national sport” is more traditional than lacrosse, more decorous than hockey and more distinctly downhome than soccer.Forget the racetrack, rink, stadium or court — nature has provided Newfoundlanders with everything they need to pursue that most gentlemanly sport: Trouting “Trouting?” you ask, grammar clutched to the breast.Is not the word fishing, or angling?No, no my son.fishing in Newfoundland means you’ve caught codfish.Fishing is work, trouting is fun and to many Newfoundlanders, “angling” is Mainland for trouting.Since seemingly every Newfoundlander does it, there are naturally thousands of experts on the most ef fective gear, ponds and ploys when seeking the brown, the rainbow, the brook or the native trout.St.John’s even has the annual Trou-ters Special, a train which loads 140 hopefuls every May 24th weekend, carrying on a sporadic tradition from the 1930s when 700 usually took part.For $24, you can travel to your favorite pond (Mainland translation: lake) far from the highway, there to spend Break supplies surprises Toronto Blue Jays in first place?Texas Rangers?Could this be the year of the first all-Canadian World Series?Or perhaps the first all-southern one?As baseball pauses for its annual all-star game—the earliest since 1942 — both the Blue Jays and the Rangers are in first place in the American League.In the National, the leaders are Montreal Expos and Atlanta Braves, trying to show thatHast year was no fluke.If those standings hold up, consider the frigid possibilities of a Montreal-Toronto World Series or a nice, warm Texas-Atlanta encounter.Meanwhile, the first half of the season has seen Rod Carew chase .400 and Steve Carlton and Nolan Ryan chase each other.Elsewhere, Carl Yastrzemski and Johnny Bench are going and Mark Fi-drych, George Bamberger and Rene Lachemann are already gone.And Dave Righetti of New York Yankees wrapped up the first-half with the first no-hitter in the major leagues since 1981 when he set down Boston 4-0 on Monday.The American League East started with Billy Martin returned for the third time as the Yankees manager and Joe Altobelli replacing Earl Weaver in Baltimore Orioles’ dugout.Yet, Toronto has opened the most eyes.Led by pitcher Dave Stieb, 10-7, the Blue Jays' lineup of talented unknowns has carried them to a 43-33 record, one game ahead of the Orioles.Notoriously slow starting, Baltimore has had to overcome disabling injuries to hurlers Mike Flanagan and Jim Palmer.In New York, Martin barely weathered a scrape with a reporter in June that threatened to cost him his job.The Yankees, two games behind Toronto, were also hurt by a lack of right handed starting pitching; Matt Keough, acquired from Oakland on June 15, became the first Yankee starting right-hander to win when he notched a victory June 19.Milwaukee Brewers, the champion Harvey's Wallbangers of a year ago, have lost Cy Young winner Pete Vuckovich and reliever Rollie Fin gers for the season with injuries.Boston has enjoyed Jim Rice’s league-leading 22 homers and 58 runs batted in But Red Sox fans are la menting Yastrzemski’s announcement this season will be his last ; Fenway Park is already sold out for Boston’s last home game.Only Cleveland Indians, with first-year manager Mike Ferraro, are below the .500 mark in the AL East.For years, Texas Rangers were a flop in the AL West.This year, relega ted to the bottom in pre-season predictions.the Rangers and rookie manager Doug Rader are 44-34, two games ahead of California.Leading the way has been Rick Honeycutt, who was 5-17 last season but is 11 -4 this year with a 1.64 earned run average.Carew’s .402 average for the Angels leads the majors while George Brett is hitting .3(î4 for Kansas City and Boston’s second-year man Wade Boggs is at .356.Chicago White Sox spent millions on free-agent Floyd Bannister but so far Bannister has a 3-9 record and 4.76 ERA.But rookie Ron Kittle has found Chicago to his liking, pounding 18 homers and knocking in 55 runs.Oakland’s Rickey Henderson, who stole a record 130 bases last year, has swiped 42 this season.Seattle, with a 30-51 record — w'orst in the majors — fired manager Lachemann in June and released Perry, who has 310 career victories.In the National League East, the World Series-champion St.Louis Cardinals traded Keith Hernandez to New York and saw Lonnie Smith enter a drug treatment centre.Pitcher Joaquin Andujar is 4 11, yet the Cardinals are only two games behind the Expos.DAWSON HOT Montreal’s strong showing has been aided by Andre Dawson’s 62 runs batted in and Steve Rogers’s 12-3 mark.Philadelphia’s Mike Schmidt w'as almost dormant in May and June, Pete Rose is hitting only .244 and Carlton is 9-9, but the Wheeze Kids are second in the NL East.Carlton and Houston’s Ryan have been playing their own sort of game in the race for the all-time strikeout lead.Ryan passed Walter Johnson’s legendary mark of 3,508 early this season before Carlton went ahead.The two have traded places several times and Carlton’s 3,569 is currently eight ahead of the Astro flamethrower.Chicago Cubs, who have not won a pennant since 1945, have pulled within four games of the top while Pittsburgh Pirates won nine games in a row, longest victory streak in the majors this season.New' York Mets, with Tom Seaver returning home and running up a 5-8 record, saw Bamberger, their manager, resign.In the NL West.Dale Murphy’s 19 home runs and 57 RBI have put defen-ding-champion Atlanta one game ahead of the Dodgers.They are the only two teams in the majors above .6(H).I^)s Angeles watched reliever Steve Howe get off to a strong start and then re-enter a drug treatment centre.The Dodgers fined him $54,000, equivalent to one month’s salary.Cincinnati’s Bench announced this would be his last year.San Diego expected Steve Garvey would break Billy Williams's NL record of playing in 1,117 consecutive games — he did and that he would help the Padres he has.So has little known pitcher Dave Dravecky, who is 12-5.One pitcher who didn’t fare well was Fidrych, the 1976 AL rookie of the year who was pitching for Pawtucket, the Triple-A farm team of Boston Red Sox.After several years of comeback attempts and after a poor season this year, Fidrych called it quits last week Was there madness in Whitey’s latest move?Was there something wrong with Keith Hernandez?Were there some mysterious skeletal remains stashed in a dark cornerof Hernandez’s past?Why in the world did the Cardinals trade this smooth fielding first base-man with a .299 lifetime batting average to New York Mets?That’s what people were asking when St.Louis Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog traded Hernandez to the Mets for pitchers Neil Allen and Rick Ownbey.“I had no problem with Whitey.” Hernandez says "Hey, they got a good pitcher for me.That kid Allen can pitch.His career is on the up-shoot " The National Baseball League trade, made on the June 15 deadline, is being hailed as one of the best in a the day drowning worms until the train returns in the evening to pick you up.RUM FUELS FUN The train itself is a relic.Each car has a pair of hot, oil-smelling stoves which passengers sometimes use to “boil a kettle” for tea.The trip has a holiday atmosphere, the lustier lads imbibing the first tots of Newfoundland rum as the train pulls out with a groan.Along the way to Placentia, you can hop off at such prime trouting spots as Holy rood, Brigus Junction, Ocean Pond or here at Rhody’s Pond, where but for the presence of the railroad, the year could be 1800.This trip, nine pan-sized native trout fall victim to the wily gambits of your correspondent and his companion, Frank Dalton of St.John’s.At suppertime, the train can be heard kilometres away as it trundles toward the pond in search of survivors.A trackside trouters’ council learns that the most successful of the Rhody’s Pond bunch was 18, all less than a pound.Back on the train, rum and the heat after a day in pondside fog enflame heroic tales of trouting glory.Across the province, the Glorious 24th ignites trouting fervor that lasts all summer.For three days before the unofficial season-opening, the Sports Shop on Water Street in St.John’s is jammed with customers poring over rods, reels, waders, bottles of fly dope, lures and the big selection of exotieally-named trout flies.And in what other city can you go trouting downtown?It’s not unusual in St.John’s to see someone with a spinning rod and a “gob o’ worms” knee-deep in Rennie’s Brook, which runs right through town and is said to have the greatest concentration of brown trout of any stream in the world.Rennie’s Brook empties into Quidi Vidi Lake, scene of the annual rowing regatta and a popular strolling spot.In a stream leading from the lake, trouters who don’t like to hike wet a line within earshot of downtown.As further evidence of the enthusiasm this patriotic pastime provokes, look to Signal Hill, where a rain-fed pond is stocked with trout each year by a man who wants to ensure neighborhood kids have a place to go trouting.Every summer, Frank Bush puts trout caught elsewhere into Dead-man’s Pond on the steep side of 200-metre, tower-topped Signal Hill that dominates the city and is the site of a national historic park.Says Bush: “To see the look on a young boy’s face after he catches a trout is all the reward I would ever need.” cause “hitters see it and they say, Ts that all there is?”’ When the Royals rolled to their first league pennant in 1980, Quisenberry and his sinkerball tied New York Yankees’ fireballer Rich Gossage for the league lead in saves with 33.But he heard the whispers about his supposed lack of staying power, and they hurt.“It bothered me,” he said.“It made me feel more competitive.“But I wasn’t sure if they weren’t right.” He also began experimenting with his pitches, adding to his repertoire.In 1980, by his own estimation, he threw the sinker “between 95 per cent and 100 per cent of the time.” The next year, he emerged from spring training with a breaking ball.After the 1981 season, the Royals went on a tour of Japan, where submarine pitchers are common, and he learned to throw a knuckleball.Then, this year, Quisenberry mastered the changeup.Now, at 29, with a style that’s easy on the arm, Quisenberry may be looking at a long, productive career, despite his constant fear that hitters may eventually catch up with him.“Major league hitters are always trying to adjust to me,” he said.“And I’m always trying to readjust to them.” decade for the Mets, and it has regained some respect for general manager Frank Cashen.It sent a 2-7 pitcher in Allen and a control problem in Ownbey to the Cardinals for a Gold Glove first baseman with a career .299 batting average.Had Herzog gone mad?If he has, it’s the same madness with which he transformed the Cardinals from a last-place club in 1979 to world champions in 1982."You have to trade something to get something," Herzog has said in the past and has proven time and again by dealing away the likes of Rollie Fineers.Ted Simmons and Garry Templeton.This time, his club was desparately in need of pitching help, and he was willing to gamble m $ $ P185/80R13 VW/A W/W Pi 55 / 80^ , VIVA

COATICOOK — Staring down into the spectacular Coaticook Gorge, it’s hard to believe that this northbound cataract ever flowed in the opposite direction.But 35,000 years ago it did, a heritage that explains why the Coaticook is now the least polluted large tributary of the St.Francis — one of Québec’s most polluted river systems.35,000 years ago the last great ice-age was ending.The receding glaciers carved out the rugged mountains forming the Eastern Townships, then paused for several thousand years in the St.Lawrence Valley.Lake Memphremagog, even deeper then than now, was the northernmost part of the Connecticut River system The ancestor of the Coaticook was a Connecticut tributary.Only after the glaciers moved above the St.Lawrence did the flow of ice-melt cease.As Memphremagog’s level dropped, the connection to the Connecticut fractured—and as Coaticook River water could no longer reach Memphremagog, it began moving the other way, cutting through thick deposits of glacial till to join other reversing streams that became the St.Francis.In ancient times the Coaticook River flowed south until glacial action turned it around.», *-»«£****- -*%sr Glacial till, or rocks and soil carried along with the glaciers, created the narrow but rich bands of farmland in the Coaticook and Ascot River valleys (which brought the Eastern Townships a certain fame at the turn of the century as the centre of the Canadian commercial agriculture scene).It also formed a natural sand filtration system for agricultural runoff.And because it gave way easily, but lay over top of ancient bedrock that barely gave at all, the Coaticook became a fast-flowing river — the kind that repurifies itself just as the old Scouting manuals claim rivers should.The St.Francis and tributaries are in environmental trouble where the flow was always horizontal or south-to-north.where the ground is closer to level, where the floodplains were able to expand, and where the rapids were much easier for 18th and 19th century millwrights to tame.The Coaticook was eventually tamed, with dams at Dixville, the town of Coaticook (2), Waterville, and a point about midway between Earl-stown and Capelton in Ascot Township.Settlements grew up around the dams, contributing both sewage and industrial wastes, as along all other Eastern Townships rivers.But they didn't grow as fast as rival communities on slower streams.Thus the Coaticook (and the Missisquoi and Eaton rivers, for example) remain examples of what our other rivers could be.Brook trout, perch, and small stream bass thrive above Coaticook, and can also be found below.Suckers make it as far upstream as the gorge.The pike and muskelunge are gone, but they’ve also vanished — along with Atlantic salmon — from virtually every other local river, victims of dams and overfishing years ago.The Coaticook has suffered fish-kills because of industrial dumping, of both the deliberate and accidental varieties.The most recent, however, was in 1979.Along the Yamaska and St.Francis, ‘most recent’ is usually a matter of weeks.What the Coaticook hasn’t expe- Copper mine tailings contaminate the Coaticook River near Earlstown.mm* rienced is oxygen depletion, the most common cause of fish-kills.Oxygen depletion happens when a stream gets too hot, or when it stagnates and is infested by weeds.The Coaticook flows too fast and is too heavily wooded for either of those problems to occur.The most dangerous point would be below Waterville, where Waterville Cellular draws off water for industrial cooling purposes, returning it to the stream several degrees warmer.At the same point, the river begins slowing down before merging with the Massawippi.But so long as the woods covering either bank continue to give their shade, the fish can find cool shelter.The Coaticook is a naturally well-protected river.This isn’t to say that humans have treated it well Eighteen sewage outlets discharge into it at Coaticook itself, a town of 6,500.More sewage enters, at Dixville.Waterville, and numerous riverside cottages.The total volume of sewage received is comparable to the amount that has turned the sluggish lower reaches of the Pike River into an open cesspool.Only the speed of flow has prevented this from happening here — and the Coaticook River pollution does eventually become part of the St.Francis River’s problem.Because the Coaticook has survived so well, it receives lowest priority in the government’s St.Francis basin cleanup schedule.While awaiting attention, it could conceivably become imperiled.For instance, if Hydro-Québec is eventually forced to abandon the proposed Centre-East electrical export route to New England, they could try to follow the Coaticook to Stanhope and Norton, where the hookup to New England’s lines was originally supposed to be made, according to early Vermont Electrical Company literature.Construction might cause erosion, silting the streams where the trout lay their eggs.Shade trees might be cut at critical points But for now, the Coaticook remains almost clean, almost safe.!*»•!•¦''.5 a t- ^ t.tlkâ A.ihV -tÿK'.-•’•¦S’;-, Kiy -V x a» *¦«.- IteigS
