Tuesday, October 4, 1983 30 cents Reform commission debates proportional representation QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec’s commission on electoral reform opened its hearings Monday with political scientists arguing the pros and cons of proportional representation.The commission, chaired by Chief Electoral Officer Pierre-F.Cote, is to hold public hearings and make a report to the government by next spring.Premier Rene Lévesque has said he would like to change the current electoral system, which is the same as in the other provinces, to some form of proportional representation before the next general election, unlikely before 1985.The change would avoid a repeat of results such as in the 1966 provincial election, when the Union Nationale took power with a smaller share of the popular vote than the Liberals, or in 1973 when the Parti Québécois won only 5.5 per cent of the seats in the national assembly despite garnering 30.2 per cent of the popular vote.Robert Body, a University of Montreal political scientist, told the commission Monday the present system “contributes to the maintenance of a false polarisation and retards the birth or the development of political forces that are more in tune with the actual trends in society.” REORGANIZE RIDINGS Quebec Justice Minister Marc-Andre Bedard has proposed that the province be broken into electoral regions of between three and seven ridings each.Parties would be able to field as many candidates in the region as there are ridings.Voters would have two votes to cast — one for the party and another for the candidate of their choice.In a five-riding region, for example, a party that won 60 per cent, or three-fifths, of the popular vote would get three of the five seats.The seats would be filled by the party's three most popular candidates.Laval University political scientist Vincent Lemieux praised Bedard's proposal, saying it would aid “in the destruction of the dangerous illusion by which a party brought into power with 40 or 45 per cent of the votes cast comes to believe that it represents two-thirds of the population when it counts the heads of those elected.” But Gerard Loriot, of the University of Quebec, said the current system “has served Quebec society well and deserves our admiration.” Loriot said it would take a long time to explain a proportional system to the public and a generation before they learned how to use it.\ B , .m, m.m m * RECORD/PERRY BEATON No new offer Sherbrooke Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier says no to white collar workers and journalists at a meeting of the City Council Monday night.See story Page 3.Cyprus proposals may bring Canadians home Federal government will monitor Albertan medicare legislation outraged by poverty OTTAWA (CP) — The government had little consolation Monday for opposition MPs who expressed outrage at reports that one in six Canadians is living in poverty.NDP Leader Ed Broadbent and Flora MacDonald, Progressive Conservative social development critic, both pressed the government to take some action to help the estimated four million people living below the so-called poverty line.But neither Deputy Prime Minister Allan MacEachen nor Finance Minister Marc Lalonde had anything new to offer to the millions MacDonald said are “fighting for their very survival.’ ’ The opposition MPs were referring to a report released Friday by the Social Planning Council of Metro Toronto that said one out of every six people in that area is living in poverty.Patrick Johnston, executive director of the Ottawa-based National Anti-Poverty Organization, later said that one-in-six figure applies to the entire country.Broadbent told the Commons it is particularily unjust that many of these poor people pay taxes while 5,000 people who earned $50,000 or more last year paid none.HAD BIG LOSSES Lalonde rejected Broadbent’s plea for a restructuring of the tax system, saying some high-earners may have suffered big losses in previous years and their taxes should continue to take such losses into account.Lalonde also claimed that his April budget will result in less taxes for four million people at the lower end of the income scale.MacDonald noted that the planning council report said 119,000 children — “a shocking figure” — in the Toronto area are living in poverty.Many of these children, MacDonald said, are getting insufficient food and are supported by single parents.The council report estimated 40 per cent of homes headed by single parents are below the poverty line.The government’s policies, MacDonald said, appear to be to increase, rather than decrease, the number of poor.She referred specifically to a speech last month by Lalonde in which he said a moderation in the rate of economic recovery may be beneficial to restrain inflation and interest rates.With that kind of thinking, the number of poor Canadians could increase to one in five, or one in four, MacDonald said.TORONTO (CP) — Canada and the industrialized world can Proposals for an elected Senate with veto powers and more western representatives may be popular, but they are impractical, says former senator Eugene Forsey.Forsey told a lecture group at the University of Calgary on Monday that major changes such as election of senators, increasing their numbers or enlarging their powers face impossible constitutional hurdles.“The desirability of an elected Se nate needs a very, very hard look.Forsey said, adding that no one has found a way to handle the deadlock that could develop between an elected Senate and the Commons.Reform has long been argued, especially in the West, where a rejuvenated Senate is seen by many politicians as the way to break Eastern Canada’s population-supported stranglehold on Commons seats and increase western clout.Forsey said, though, the current joint Commons-Senate Committee on Senate Reform must avoid making fundamental changes in the Constitution to accommodate any particular current problem, such as western representation.Quebec and the Wartimes would never accept unilaterally increasing the number of senators from Western Canada, nor would the Commons ever agree to an elected Senate with veto power, he said.CHANCES ARE NIL “In short, the chances of getting this reform over the hurdles of the House of Commons and the provinces are exactly the same as my chances of becoming the Archbishop of Canterbury.” He said it is possible the joint committee, which is to report in December, will recommend something impractical and thereby create an election issue.“Under our rigid Constitution, it is very easy for leaders to promise (reforms) without being able to deliver.” Forsey suggested there are more practical reforms which could be implemented, including those suggested by a Senate committee three years ago.Reforms might include a 10-year tenure for senators instead of the current situation where senators appointed before 1965 can stay on for life while those appointed after 1965 must retire at age 75.Forsey, long a respected constitutional expert, was appointed a Liberal senator for Ontario from 1970 until his 75th birthday in 1979.The Senate should also be given a legitimate suspension veto which could hold up legislation for six months or a year, Forsey said.Currently the Senate has an unlimited, but rarely used veto.Forsey said Senate appointments should still be made by the federal government, but every second appointment could be chosen from a list of people suggested by the province involved.Key Crow-rate clause may not make final bill OTTAWA (CP) — A key part of the government’s bill to end the 86-year-old Crowsnest Pass freight rates for shipping western grain could be in jeopardy because of a ruling Monday by Commons Speaker Jeanne Sauve.The proposal would limita farmer’s freight bills to 10 per cent of the price of grains and oilseeds, protecting producers in case of a sudden drop in world prices.It was promised by the government in June but wasn't ready in time for second-reading debate, the stage at which MPs accept the bill in principle.Under Commons rules, it couldn’t be introduced when the bill was being studied in detail by the Commons transport committee and Sauve indicated Monday she likely won’t accept it either.A government spokesman said the measure, called a safety net and requested by western farm groups, could still be accepted if the Commons gives unanimous consent.The proposal was among close to 90 amendments to the bill that Sauve said she is prepared to reject because they violate procedural rules.All but two come from the Conservatives and New Democrats.Sauve said she will hear arguments from MPs later regarding why she shouldn’t reject the amendments before she makes a final decision.Ore’s leading ‘lumberjill’ wields a mean chain saw CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP> The world chain saw woodcutting championship is up for grabs this week and contestants include 15 burly lumberjacks and one 46-year-old “lumber-jill," the first woman to qualify for the competition.Shirley Smith, a 130-pound grandmother from Albany, Ore., first helled a 20-pound chain saw in competition two years ago and her competitors thought it was a joke.But Wednesday’s world championship is no joke to Smith.“I plan to win,” she says.She’ll compete with 15 male saw-wielders — who call her a "lumber jill” — for a total $10,500 in prize money in the sixth Homelite Tournament of Kings at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.The top prize is $6,000 for the six-event contest that tests speed, prowess and accuracy with a chain saw.Other women compete in logging contests, in the “Jack and Jill” category that features a man and a woman working two ends of a crosscut saw.But Smith stands out as the only female in the chain saw category and has had dozens of first- and second-place finishes.At five-foot-six.Smith will be dwarfed in Wednesday’s contest by defending champ Roy Booth of LaGrande, Ore., a six-foot, 210-poupder.Yet, she says, that shouldn’t make a difference.WILL HOLD HER OWN “The stance, the handling of the saw, balance, all that is more important than brute strength.” she said.“Obviously, I lack some strength when I’m going up against men who w eigh twice as much as I do.But I can hold my own against them.” For sale: one used kidney for a low, low $12,000 OCALA, Fla.(AP) — So far response to his ad has been minimal, but an unemployed man with no steady income says he won’t hesitate to sell one of his kidneys if someone meets bis $12,()()() price tag."1 don’t think 1 am really going to sell it,” said Bob Reina.“But if I do, 1 can sure use the money.” Reina.40, placed a Kidney For Sale advertisement in the classified section of the Ocala Star-Banner.With no special skills and only a high school education, Reina said he has sold almost everything he owns, including his pickup truck, in an effort to raise money.The only exception is theelothing he Weathe Showers today turning to rain by late afternoon, Wednesday, cloudy with scattered showers.High both days 13-15 with a low tonight of 7.wears while doing odd jobs to pay his living expenses.“Look.I don’t want you to misunderstand.” Reina said.“This is not a great thing to do.“It could give people (that need a kidney) false hope, but I’m not a terrible person.I give blood.I help others out.” Reina quit what he calls “the best job 1 ever had” with good pay and steady hours as a sanitation worker in New York City to find his “place in the sun” in Florida.Not long ago he saw a television news report of a man trying to sell a kidney to a needy patient for $25,000.“That’s where I got the idea,” Reina said.“But 1 wouldn’t ask that much.Maybe $12,000 plus expenses.” Reina said no physician has been advising him on the matter and he hasn’t contacted organ banks.Mark Reiner, director of organ procurement at the Transplant Centre at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, said he doubted if organ banks would take up the offer.“To us, the donation of a kidney should be just that — a donation,” Reiner said.TPnrrf^l uecora George MacLaren, Publisher 569 9511 Charles Bury, Editor .569 6345 Lloyd G.Scheib,

Boston in protest of the Soviet downing last month of a South Korean airliner.“We’re not going to lose our wages because of the United States,” said Pierre Ferguson, foreman at Pier 63 where the freighter Novomirgorod docked just before dawn.Ferguson said a refusal by longshoremen to unload the 150-metre cargo ship carrying 6,000 tonnes of plywood would have jeopardized their guarantee of 40 hours of pay a week even if no work is available.No vigilantes for Halifax HALIFAX (CP) — Police Chief Fitzgerald Fry says he will not tolerate any vigilante-type organizations.The U S.-based Guardian Angels and a local group organized by a taxi driver have expressed interest in forming citizens’ patrols in Halifax.“We will not tolerate citizens’ groups such as these,” the police chief said Monday.“It’s the thin edge of the wedge, and God knows where it will stop.” Mayor Ron Wallace has also denounced vigilante groups.“Any acceptance is an admission our own department hasn’t everything under control,” he said.Although the groups have been allowed to operate in other cities, “they are not a part of the Halifax way of life.” Que.-N.B.agreement sticky FREDERICTON (CP) — There are problems negotiating an agreement with Quebec which would allow New Brunswick truckers to travel freely into Quebec with loads of lumber of gravel, Transportation Minister Wilfred Bishop said Monday.Bishop said he hopes Quebec government officials will resolve the problem in spite of stiff opposition from the Quebec Motor Carrier Board.East coast wins toilet derby OTTAWA (CP) — Statistics Canada’s latest peep into the bathrooms of the country shows the Atlantic region has made the greatest improvements there in the last 14 years.Almost every household in the region — 96 to 97 per cent — has a flush toilet and bath, the federal statistical monitoring agency said Monday.That’s a sharp improvement from 1968 when only about three of every four households there had the conveniences while 85 to 99 per cent of homes in other parts of the country had them.But the region’s gains are not restricted to the bathroom.Whose been sleeping in my bed?OTTAWA (CP) — Progressive Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney is being dishonest and trying to distract attention from his own fumbling when he sa/s the New Democrats are in bed with the Liberals, NDP Leader Ed Broadbent said Monday.He argued the Tories are the Liberals’ most regular bedmates.Broadbent took the unusual step of calling at least two reporters into his office separately to fire a broadside at Mulroney in the continuing dispute about which opposition party most often snuggles up to Prime Minister Trudeau.Default won't hurt banks TORONTO (CP) — Argentina’s move last week to suspend foreign debt payments to protect its dwindling reserves isn’t likely to have much of an impact on Canadian banks, estimated to have more than $1.5 billion in loans to the South American country.Analysts said Monday it’s unlikely the suspension will amount to more than a few days or weeks, and given their relatively small exposure shouldn’t create more than a minor headache for the so-called Big Five chartered banks.Thomson avoided issue — FP exec TORONTO (CP) — Thomson Newspapers Ltd.was reluctant to discuss its business with FP Publications Ltd.personnel after acquiring the company early in 1980, three former FP executives testified Monday in Ontario Supreme Court.As a result, the executives said, it would have been difficult for them to take over or replace two former FP papers that Thomson disposed of several months after it took over the company’s assets.Man.23 denies being ‘front’ WINNIPEG (CP) — A coalition of Manitoba ethnic groups that has been a staunch supporter of plans to expand French-language services in the province was accused of being a government front Monday during a public hearing on the issue.The charge came from Russ Doern, a member of the New Democratic Party government who has split with his caucus over the French-rights issue.Doern told the legislature committee he suspects the coalition, Manitoba 23, is receiving funds from the federal and provincial governments to support Manitoba’s plan to provide more French-language services in its departments and agencies.Hand guns not a right WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S.Supreme Court today left intact lower court rulings that Americans do not have a constitutional right to keep handguns in their homes.The justices, without comment, rejected challenges to a Morton Grove, 111., ordinance outlawing the possession of handguns.The ban imposed by the small Chicago suburb in 1981, and the enormous controversy it generated, has become a focal point in the emotion-packed confrontation between gun control and right to bear arms forces.Wrongful birth doesn’t pay WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S.Supreme Court, faced with its first “wrongful birth” case, today refused to let parents of a child born after an unsuccessful sterilization recover the cost of rearing the child.The court, without comment, turned away the appeal of a couple who filed a negligence lawsuit in Illinois.State courts threw out the claim for rearing costs, but said the couple was entitled to be paid medical and other expenses related to childbirth and pregnancy if there was negligence.A tubal cauterization was performed on Edna Raja in 1972 to prevent her from conceiving.Helms fights birthday party WASHINGTON (AP) — A White House spokesman said Monday that President Reagan is prepared to sign legislation making Martin Luther King’s birthday a national holiday, but Senator Jesse Helms (It-N.C.), launched a last-ditch fight against Senate passage.Helms, expected to face a tough re-election battle with Democratic Gov.Jim Hunt next year, said there has been "pressure, intimidation, even threats that if senators do not vote for this, all sorts of unhappy things will happen next year.Well I’m not going to knuckle under.” Helms said he opposed a 10th national holiday because, “We need more productivity, not more leisure time.” Reagan drops visit to Marcos WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan still plans to visit the Far East next month but has dropped the strife-torn Philippines and two other Southeast Asian countries from his agenda.Blaming the press of congressional business at home rather than the bloody anti-government rioting in Manila, presidential spokesman Larry Speakes said : “The president has most reluctantly and with regret decided to postpone visits planned for this November to the Republic of the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.” He said deputy White House chief of staff Michael Deaver secretly left Washington on Friday night to personally carry that message to leaders of the three countries and to Japan and South Korea, which Reagan still plans to visit but perhaps later than originally scheduled.Mud sea nears Phoenix TUCSON, Ariz.(AP) — Rain that forced thousands from their homes and left 13 dead or missing continued today, threatening to push waters over a dam and spread a sloshing sea of mud to the suburbs of Phoenix.With damage estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars after another day of heavy rain Monday, the National Weather Service warned that another severe storm system could hit the state Thursday.A brief but fierce storm Monday afternoon aggravated flooding in southeastern Arizona, said to be the worst in a century.Tucson, with many sections already under water, received about one centimetre of rain in 20 minutes.IRA suspect safe in U.S.A.i SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An American who once belonged to the Irish Republican Army cannot be extradited to Britain to face charges of killing a London policeman in 1975, a U.S.federal judge ruled Monday.District Judge Robert Aguilar said extradition of William Joseph Quinn to Britain for prosecution was barred by a treaty between that country and the United States “since a political uprising existed during the time period of the conspiracy.” The judge ordered Quinn released from jail “within 10 days.” “We ll wait until the 10th day” to have the San Franciscan released, said one of his lawyers.Mexico won’t stop oil sales Military chiefs from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala are planning to build up their defences against leftist Nicaragua, but Mexico says it will continue shipping oil to the Sandinistas despite threats by rightist-led rebels.A Mexican Senate leader said Monday his country will ignore warnings from the largest anti-Sandinista rebel group, the Honduran-based Democratic Nicaraguan Force, which threatened last week to blow up oil tankers approaching Nicaraguan ports.“Mexi jo will not be frightened or docile,” said Rafael Cervantes Acuna, president of the Mexican Senate’s defence committee.“We will continue our aid that was provided with a humanitarian objective.” Argentina faces major strike BUENOS AIRES (Reuter) — Argentina faces a major political and economic crisis today with trade unions staging a 24-hour general strike to back pay demands and central bank president Julio Gonzalez del Solar under arrest.Argentina’s General Confederation of Labor gave the final go-ahead Monday night for the national strike to demand increases of $61 a month for salaried employees and 17 per cent for hourly workers to keep pace with Argentina’s 335-per-cent annual inflation rate.No demonstrations have been called to coincide with the national strike, which is expected to bring transport, government and economic activity to a standstill.Radiation check for 12,000 LONDON (AP) — The Defence Ministry announced Monday that 12,000 people who participated in British nuclear weapons tests in the South Pacific between 1952 and 1967 will be surveyed to see if radiation has affected their health.“The main reason we are doing the survey is that there is anxiety and we want to find out whether these tests did harm,” said John Duns-ter, director of the National Radiological Protection Board, which will conduct the study.Concern over possible long-term health effects rose after recent programs on television and stories in the British press showed high rates of leukemia and cataracts among some British servicemen who worked on the tests.Explosives found in prison LONDONDERRY (Reuter) — Prison guards found explosives in a Northern Ireland prison workshop Monday shortly after a walkout by guards who said security was lax.The discovery brought renewed calls for the resignation of James Prior, the British cabinet minister responsible for Northern Ireland who is already under criticism after a mass escape from another prison.Sources said 56 grams of gelignite were found in Magilligan prison, near Londonderry, which holds 430 prisoners, including gunmen from both sides of the province’s bloody sectarian and political conflict.A spokesman confirmed the discovery, but gave no details.Mortar kills spectators MUENSINGEN, West Germany (AP) —A mortar shell exploded Monday a few metres from about 800 people watching shooting exercises by U.S.Army recruits, killing twoofficers and wounding 20 people, a military spokesman said.“The force of the blast was so powerful it lifted a 36-tonne Leopard tank parked nearby about half a metre off the ground,” said a witness.Fifteen of the victims were in serious condition and West German Parliament deputy Fritz Wit-tmann was one of three civilians wounded, said a press officer for the 56th Home Protection Brigade.Weinberger continues hard line ROME (Reuter) — Defence Secretary Caspar Weinberger, reaffirming NATO’s plans to deploy new missiles in Europe unless there is a U.S.-Soviet arms accord, said Monday it is the only way to keep the Kremlin negotiating.Soviet leader Yuri Andropov’s policy is to maintain Moscow’s monopoly of middle-range missiles in Europe, Weinberger told a news conference in Rome.He said Italian Defence Minister Giovanni Spa-dolini agrees with him on the “absolute necessity” to deploy new U.S.Pershing and cruise missiles in Europe if U.S.-Soviet medium-range missile talks in Geneva fail to reach agreement by the end of 1983.Phalangist Haddad has cancer TEL AVIV (Reuter) — Israel’s closest Lebanese ally, Christian militia leader Saad Haddad, has been admitted to hospital in Israel for cancer, Haaretz newspaper reported today, A spokesman for Rambam Hospital in the northern Israeli city of Haifa confirmed Haddad had been admitted Monday night but declined to comment on reports the major was suffering from cancer.The spokesman said Haddad was exhausted and was undergoing tests.Haddad broke off from the Lebanese army in 1976 to form his own militia.Armed and financed by Israel, the force fought Palestinian guerrillas in southern Lebanon until Israel’s invasion of Lebanon last year.Shamir seeks coalition JERUSALEM (Reuter) — Israeli Prime Minister-designate Yitzhak Shamir meets today with leaders of an ultra-religious political party that threatens to wreck his plans to form a coalition government.Shamir’s colleagues had expected his Likud coalition to obtain a parliamentary vote of confidence this week, but leaders of the ultra-Orthodox Agudat Israel party expressed uncertainty Monday over promises by Shamir to present proposals to toughen Israeli religious laws in the Knesset, or parliament.A Shamir spokesman said he would meet today with leaders of Agudat Israel and might also have talks with some of the six other dissidents who have threatened to abort the proposed coalition unless fresh efforts are made to form a government of national unity with the opposition Labor party./ K 4 The Townships The KKCOKI)—Tuesday.October 4.1983—3 the' #¦_ggl mam Brome council decision to forfeit CPR right-of-way enrages town By Michael McDevitt KNOWLTON — A controversy is beginning to rage in the Town of Brome Lake following a recent town council decision not to take up its option on the right of way of an abandoned CPR rail line which many local townspeople had hoped would be turned into a public walkway.Proponents of the walkway say the decision was taken to favor a few adjacent landowners at the expense of the community at large.Questions are also being asked as to why the decision to refuse the option was taken so quickly and without both sides having presented their arguments.According to Dennis Rogers, a Knowlton businessman and consultant, the 90-foot wide strip of land, which passes right through the middle of this picturesque community, is ideal for use as a hiking, riding and cross-country ski trail and says the entire community would benefit from a project sponsored by the local Lions Club to turn the right of way into a public trail.Studies on the project have already been carried out by the club, which envisions a trail limited to non-motorized traffic.As well as giving access to the waters of Lake Brome, the trail would also link up with present trails, making a continuous cross-country track from Foster through to Sutton.“It’s just a couple of the big lan- downers who are opposed to the pro jeet,” Rogers says, “and that's because they say they're afraid there will be too much of an increase in traffic along the old rail-bed.But people have always used that land as a public place and with the controls we want to establish, there won't be any ski-doos or motorcycles using it — just people.” The controversy began four years ago when the Lions Club conceived of their project when it became known that the CPR would be relinquishing its right of way through the town.A1 though in most provinces when this happens the land is reverted to the owners of bordering properties, in Quebec the railway must first offer the land to the provincial government.If this offer is turned down, the option then passes to the municipality concerned.It is only after this option has been turned down that the railway must offer the land to the landowners.Despite having given its unanimous approval to the Lions Club project in 1981, and again in 1982, the municipal council met on September 12 of this year and voted to pass up on its option.Proponents of the public-access project were not heard, despite he fact that council had previously been shown a petition signed by 115 Know! ton residents supporting the plan."It was really something,” says Rogers, “some people who you just never see were present at that meeting to make sure the council turned it down It was rushed through without any real discussion at all.” Deborah Rotherham, a municipal councillor who supports the project, was not present at the meeting as she was away on vacation in England with her husband Hank, a Lions Club officer also actively involved with the plan.'I was literally quite shocked,” said Rotherham, "when I returned and found they'd passed that motion.My first impression was that the thing had been railroaded through council but after having discussed it with several of my colleagues 1 realize that the issue wasn’t properly discussed.I’m going to bring it up again at the next council meeting, and we’ll see if we can’t get it moving again." Rotherham says the Lions Club project is opposed by only two landowners with property bordering the old rail line and that she has received the active support of almost all the others."I have the written support of 10 of'them, and the verbal support of six more.” The town is also a landowner.“We’ve talked to all but 8 of the landowners,” she says, “and two of those are dead.We don't know who owns the land now.The only real opposition comes from Sam Berger and the Foster estate.The Foster estate is by far the largest, as they own the area we know as Foster I’ark.They’re afraid that there will be too many people using the access, but with the controls we plan the exact opposite will be true.” “The thing that is kind of funny about the whole thing is that people have always used that right of way as a public place.” Rotherhan says “It makes for an ideal hiking at skiing spot.The Foster estate already has two rights of way connecting their properties on both sides of the track which they’ve had since the thing was built over a hundred years ago.As a matter of fact the Fosters offered the place (Foster Park) to the town to use as a park in 1928, but the town refused because it didn’t want to lose the taxes." Rotherham says the town is also concerned about the maintenance of a public access, citing the possibility of the installation of electric lighting along the route."We have absolutely no intention of putting lights there." she says.Rotherham says the issue will be brought up before council again at the next mneeting scheduled for October 11.She says she is confident she can convince her colleagues to reverse their decision once all the facts are laid before them.“I don’t believe there was anything sinister going on, 1 believe they didn’t have the proper information in their hands.We haven’t given up on this thing yet.” Blais counting on past experience in UFA election SHERBROOKE — A lively vote is shaping up for the presidency of the Union des Producteurs Sherbrooke Federation at Wednesday’s annual meeting.Current boss Jacques Blais is faced with the opposition of Barnston West dairy farmer Léo Roy.who is going after the leadership for the first time.Blais is counting on his experience with the farmers’ union to keep the top post while Roy says his neutrality in the farm organization’s past feuds is his biggest asset.Blais' first two-year term as regional president expires at the union's all-day annual meeting in Ascot Corner Wednesday.He says he has learned the ropes while his opponent would have a lot of catching-up to do.“I think I am in a better position than that of the guy who has to do his schoolwork,” Blais says, Blais claims that under his leadership the 4000-member Sherbrooke region of the compulsory-membership group has made great progress.He cites its financial position: “This year we have about a $12,000 surplus, while in the past we have had big deficits." Blais says last year’s deficit was $57,900.“We haven't cleared it up yet," he says, but thanks to this year’s performance, “at least the bleeding has stopped." The La Patrie farmer says the financial improvements can be attributed to budget cutting, personnel reductions and tighter administration."At the Federation, we have had big problems in personnel (including the firing of popular field agent Bernard Houle) and finance.But we are in the process of getting out of it.I want another mandate to make sure everything stays in order.” Blais also says he is the best man for the job of looking after the union's political problems, such as Hydro-Québec’s plans to build a power-export corridor through the region, stabilization insurance for crops (federal and provincial' and the propo-' sed new Crowsnest Pass feed-grain freight-rate structure, for example.Blais says that if his management style has seemed agressive it’s because he hasn’t had any choice.“Farm unions must defend their members.I’m not garessive but a fighter.And I don’t quit.” “I have always acted so the farmers' positions will be respected, so our union will be as strong as possible.” Blais’ opponent Léo Roy says the fact that he has not been involved in the UPA’s recent internal bickering puts him in an ideal position to recon cile the various factions.Right now the farmers are divided into two groups within the union,” he says."There is something obviously wrong and my intention is to bring back some unity.” Roy says he won’t make any judgments on what has happened within the union in the past to bring about the current division."My goal is not to denounce or criticize administrative decisions of tjie past.What is important is to rebuild our unity.Since I wasn't there'ftifthe union hierarchy) when those decisions were taken, I haven't taken sides in any way; 1 consider myself neutral,” he says.“The president has to be a bit of a referee.” Roy says that if elected he plans to City ready to accept strike conciliator’s formula SHERBROOKE — The City of Sherbrooke says it is fully prepared to accept a formula worked out by a conciliator to solve the dispute between it and its white collar workers, but refuses categorically to accept two new elements put forward by the employees’ union, says Sherbrooke mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier.Pelletier says the union should allow its members to vote on the city’s final offer, saying he’s confident it would be accepted by most of the members.Pelletier was referring to a formula established by concilliator François Hamelin which would give the white collar workers a five per cent pay increase for each of the next two years and a work week of 32'/2 hours.Pelletier said the union appeared ready to accept the formula but has added two new elements in its demands, including a “special compensation” which it does not elaborate upon.r 1 Press club president Renald Daigneault asked Sherbrooke council to reconsider its closed workshop policy at Monday's meeting.Townships talk SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — Judge Guy Ge-nest refused a motion to allow Danny Marks his provisional freedom pending preliminary hearing on charges of conspiracy to commit a crime, breaking and entering and theft from Brian Gallery in West Bolton, theft of a cheque in Sutton as well as theft of shingles in Foster.The Crown produced evidence, Marks, 24, of Knowlton, was the object of a bench warrant in Vancouver and was also wanted by the RCMP in Calgary and the OPP in Cobourg, Ont., on charges of fraud and uttering.Marks' hearing was then fixed to October 4.Co-accused David Lefebvre, 23, of Knowlton, was allowed his provisional freedom on the conditions he remain within the District of Bedford, not move without obtaining prior permission from the court, not have any contact with any others charged in case and that he be in his domicile from 8 p.m.until 7 a.m.His preliminary hearing was set for October 4.Pelletier said the city is prepared to accept the concilliator’s formula but says that only deals with wages and working hours.“We are not prepared to accept new elements inserted at the last minute by the union.” Pelletier says he reflects the opinion of the entire municipal council.Pelletier also says the city's refusal is “firm and final” and that he feels the city’s final offer is “very generous under the circumstances”.He says the union should put the offer before its members and allow them to vote on whether to accept.Municipal Council also agreed Monday night to put on the agenda of a future council meeting the question of the present practice of holding the council’s workshops behind closed doors.The previous administration of Jacques O’Bready had opened the workshops to journalists in 1976 but this policy was changed by a majority of the present council under the spon sorship of the new mayor.Led by the Cercle de Presse, local journalists have been fighting to have that decision reversed.Council agreed to explain their position in open public debate after Cercle de Presse president Renald Dai-gneault brought up the subject at Monday’s regular council meeting.Daigneault said one of the purposes of the Cercle de Presse is to help ensure that journalists have better information in municipal affairs and said the council’s present position hinders this goal.Sherbrooke mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier says that council is elected by the populace to “perform" and says it needs the kind of lattitude to discuss all aspects of an issue that can only come from private discussions.Pelletier says the public judges a council by its ability to cut expenses and to reach fixed goals.The issue will be debated at a public meeting in the near future.Pelletier

taken by the Sherbrooke County Regional Mu nicipality (MRC) towards the Lake Memphremagog marsh is a model that should be followed by other muni cipalities.According to spokesman Nicole Courtemanche, the MRC has already restricted the useof that section of the marsh which falls under its jurisdic tion and has given its approval of a plan to turn the area into a wildlife and nature preserve.She said tentative approval for the project has also come from Memphremagog MRCfor the portion of the marsh within its jurisdiction.Courtemanche praised the Sherbrooke MRC — and Prefect Richard Gingras.mayor of St-Elie d’Orford for encouraging the project and says the final go-ahead should be forthcoming as soon as a ecological studies are completed at the end of this year.The conservation group wants to preserve the marsh in its natural state citing the wide variety of flora and fauna which proliferates there, and hopes the land will be used exclusively for recreation, scientific and educational purposes.The group says the variety of life which thrives in the marsh makes it a particularly interesting and important ecological system which should be protected.The club has also received the support of the Ministry of the Environment for its project and a recent report from that ministry terms the marsh "an eco system of great ecological interest."

—____gyj itecara Buying from mail-order outfits can bring big savings — if they deliver By Merritt Clifton Like tens of thousands of other Canadians, 90 per cent of whom live within 50 miles of the U.S.border, you have a U.S.post office box - either for business purposes, as a hedge against frequent Canadian postal strikes, or simply to subscribe to American magazines at a lower cost.Because you have magazine subscriptions coming to that box address, your name has been added to commercially distributed mailing lists.You receive catalogs from U.S.-based mail order houses like Robert Edmund’s, specializing in scientific and educational supplies; J.C.Whitney, offering tools and automobile parts; 47 Street Camera and Executive Camera, stocking everything for photographers both amateur and professional; Stereo Warehouse, carrying computers and sound systems.The advertised savings look immense, often running over 40 per cent on important electronic and photographic items.For instance, the popular Brother EP-20 electronic typewriter sells for between $280 and $310 at Canadian catalog stores like Consumer’s Distributing and Simp-son-Sears.Executive Camera has advertised it at $160, while many other U.S.mail order houses offer it at under $180.That’s American money.Factoring in the currency exchange, the average U.S.mail order price is under $216 Canadian.But before sending in your orders, beware.Many of those awesome good deals are still virtually inaccessible to Canadians no matter where your post office box is.And even if you do manage to obtain the merchandise at substantial financial saving, your expenditure in time and energy may not compensate.To obtain merchandise from U.S.mail order houses, Canadians must struggle through four distinct sets of bureaucratic regulations, inefficiency, and taxation: the U.S.Postal Service, the United Parcel Service, the telephone system, and finally Canadian Customs.So far, despite over 50 years' experience in some cases, the major U.S.mail order houses have not worked out any streamlined, economical system for serving Canadian customers.Most have simply given up trying—which is why it’s almost essential to ha ve a U.S.post office box just to get their catalogs.Most of the major mail order houses will refuse any order from a Canadian address.Others will impose a surcharge for shipping and handling so high as to wipe out any possible savings by the order.The purpose is to discourage Canadians, because the firms have learned over the years that cross-border shipments run into too many delays, COD collection problems, and complaints to be worth soliciting.The U.S.Postal Service and United Parcel Service impose problems because major mail order businesses long since ceased using the mails — and the U.S.government postal monopoly doesn’t like that one bit.U.S.postal law grudgingly permits United Parcel Service to compete for the package delivery business on condition that they can’t deliver to post office box addresses and can’t deliver letters or postcards.At the same time, United Parcel Service isn’t allowed to simply refuse parcels bearing post office box addresses.The mail order houses like shipping goods by United Parcel Service because their delivery is faster, safer, more economical for moving most bulk items, can accomodate a wider range of goods — one cannot mail firearms, for instance — and the UPS is the only way to send a C.O.D.shipment in many regions.Since the mail order firms have no means of knowing Canadian holders of U.S.post office boxes from Americans who also have a UPS-serviceable street address, virtually all orders are dispatched by UPS, regardless of any written instructions to the contrary.If a balance remains to be paid on the item ordered, most U.S.mail order houses will not ship any way but UPS, having learning through hard experience that they can’t trust customers to pay any outstanding balance after receiving the goods.The Canadian holding a U.S.post office box will discover his merchandise has been shipped by U PS when he receives a postcard requesting his street address.The UPS will hold his parcel in either Concord.New Hampshire, or Burlington, Vermont, if it is addressed to anywhere along the U.S./Québec border, for exactly five business days from the date the postcard was mailed.Since few Canadians check their U.S.boxes more often than once a week, usually the merchandise will already have been returned to sender.Even if it hasn’t returned, the Canadian customer must make an immediate long-distance call to either Concord or Burlington, at daytime rates.If lucky, the Canadian has an American friend who can accept the delivery at his home or place of busi-ness.Otherwise, the choice is between driving to Concord or Burlington for pickup, and letting the merchandise be returned, attempting to arrange mail delivery later.And even if an American is willing to accept the Canadian’s delivery, the problem still won’t be solved, if the American isn’t there when the UPS shows up.The UPS will attempt delivery three times, at unannounced hours, then return the parcel to sender anyway.They’re supposed to send another postcard before they do, but in practice this often doesn’t happen, or the card still arrives too late.The real hassle begins after a parcel has been returned.The mail order houses generally make no attempt to trace owners of underlivered merchandise.Instead they await a complaint.If the UPS hasn’t sent pro- per notification, a Canadian customer might wait six weeks before complaining.The usual mail order house res ponse is to attempt reshipment to the address given on the letter of complaint, again by UPS, so that the whole cycle repeats itself Meanwhile, the firm also adds an additional shipping and handling charge for each attempted reshipment, so that even if the order was originally paid in full, it’s now COD—and if the customer gives up and demands a refund, this amount will be deducted.One Brome-Missisquoi patron of Exe cutive Camera was offered a refund of 6 per cent of what he had paid, after unsuccessfully trying to take delivery on an item from January 9 until the middle of May.Only after he threate ned Executive Camera with mail fraud charges did they consent to sending the item by insured mail, at the original price.Contacting U.S.mail order firms with complaints is also difficult.Most of the bing ones—the ones with good reputations—have telephone num bers with toll-free 800 prefixes.That is, they’re toll-free from the United States.They can’t be called at all from Canada.Very few have any other listed number.Robert Ed mund’s, for instance, has only the 800 number.In addition, the receptionists at the 800 members usually won't in vestigate complaints.The best one can hope for is to get another, unlisted number from the receptionist that will, presumably, be answered by someone who can trace a missing order.Calling this number -always during peak-rate daytime hours—can add expense to a purchase in a hurry, especially when the plaintiff gets the inevitable runaround.47 Street Camera has an especially bad reputation in this regard.Since the last week in July, a local would-be customer has been told repeatedly that he will be called back about his missing order, which has already been shipped and reshipped by UPS and now carries a COD charge of over $15.He has been told to speak with a Barry': he has been told no one named Barry works there.Between the extra COD charge and his telephone bill, as of the last week in September he was already paying 20 per cent more than he'd expected to pay—before taxes and duty.The difference between U.S.and Canadian import duties accounts for most of the savings in purchasing electronic and photographic items by U.S.mail order instead of locally.However, Canadians still have to pay duty when bringing those items across the line, plus the 9 per cent Quebec sales tax.Usually, taxes and duty add 33 per cent to the total cost of an item.If the item can somehow be obtained from the U.S.mail order houses at the original advertised price, one can still save Id per cent over purchasing it local, sometimes more.But for the Canadian customer, that's one hell of a big ‘if’.Media giants fighting hard against.the torn-up, smoking memo By Chisholm MacDonald TORONTO (CP) — Rows of high-powered lawyers sit at rapt attention, interjecting occasionally when they sense the tiniest flaw in the Crown’s complex case against their corporate clients, two of the mightiest giants in the Canadian newspaper business.There’s little drama in the sombre, oak-panelled confines of the Ontario Supreme Court as prosecution and defence pore over the Crown’s evidence — 230 exhibits of graphs, reports, scribbled memos and recorded hearsay — documented in eight thick binders.On trial are Thomson Newspapers Ltd., Southam Inc.and five subsidiaries, owners of about half of Canada’s English-language dailies, defending a series of transactions that virtually eliminated competition in four major cities a few years ago.Three papers, each a historical landmark in its community — the Montreal Star, Ottawa Journal and Winnipeg Tribune — were permanen- tly closed, their assets in some cases transferred to the competing chain.And Vancouver, a market previously shared by the two, became a single domain.CHARGES LAID Enter federal combines officials.Following a trail of clues across the country, they raided newspaper offices and pieced together shreds of evidence, some salvaged from wastebaskets, and laid eight charges of conspiracy, merger and monopoly against the companies.The trial, expected to continue until Christmas at least, entered its third week Monday and only three witnesses, including two combines investigators, have been heard so far.The third was George Currie, former president of FP Publications Ltd., who insisted money-losing papers in his chain had little alternative but to fold.Currie, calm and articulate, occasionally rephrasing questions put to him by the lawyers — and told by one that his wording was better—weathe-red two days of gruelling cross- examination by defence and Crown about his association with FP before it was purchased by Thomson.Currie, formerly a management consultant, joined FP about IV2 years before the company’s Montreal Star ceased publication in September, 1979.Traditionally the city’s dominant English-language daily, The Star emerged from a crippling, eight-month strike in poor second place behind Southam’s Gazette.Closing of the Montreal Star was the first of the series of transactions — and one of the most complex — that eventually landed the media chains in court.DEFENDS ACTIONS Currie testified that FP sought a number of alternatives before agreeing to shut down The Star.“The Star worked hard to regain its dominant position after the strike — we pulled out all the stops,” he testified.“But by June (1979) I had become very skeptical, began to feel we lost the fight and should be seeking solutions to our very desperate situation.’’ He said Southam and FP tried to negotiate a number of joint arrangements that might keep both The Star and The Gazette going or publish a joint paper, using The Star’s bigger and more up-to-date facilities.He even tried to find a buyer for The Star, he said.Instead, an agreement was finally reached with Southam in which Southam set up a subsidiary company called Newco to publish The Gazette.The Star ceased publication ancTgran-ted Newco the option to acqui«»-its presses, land, building and name.In turn, Southam granted FP the option of acquiring a one-third interest in Newco.SELLS IT BACK Thomson, which later acquired FP, eventually exercised the option and still later sold the one-third interest in Newco back to The Gazette.Currie said that a year after The Star folded, FP also tried in vain to keep the Ottawa Journal alive.It had hoped it might reverse The Journal’s sagging fortunes with a morning face- lift, he said.But although the spruced up image and switch to morning pu blication gave the paper a wider circulation, it didn’t attract enough advertising revenue to keep it competitive in a market long dominated by Southam’s afternoon Citizen.FP Publications was purchased by Thomson in January, 1980, and The Journal and Southam-owned Winnipeg Tribune ceased publication Aug.27.On the same day, Thomson sold Southam its 50-per-cent share in Pacific Press, which printed both Thomson’s Vancouver Sun and Southam’s Vancouver Province.Although no Southam or Thomson witnesses have been called to testify in their defence yet, special prosecu tor Claude Thomson has placed cm phasis on a number of documents seized by the combines inspectors at Southam’s office.PAPER TORN One unsigned document, patched together by the investigators after it had been found torn to pieces, was titled Thomson and read: “( 11 They get out of Ottawa ; (2) They get out of Montreal; (3) They get out of Vancouver; (4) They get control of Winnipeg." Although the stakes arc high — the chains could be fined $1 million on each conspiracy charge alone — the case so far has attracted only a handful of spectators, most of them working reporters.The newspaper closings resulted in a federal royal commission set up un derTom Kent to examine the industry and concentration of press ownership.As a result of the commission report, the federal government has proposed to limit chain membership and to set up a national press council to keep an eye on the industry.Meanwhile, the Crown said the 1976 trial of K.C.Irving Ltd.and its subsi diaries would not be a valid precedent in the current case.The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Irving’s control of all five English-language daily papers in New Brunswick was not against the public interest.Naval bosses start speaking out at last on ancient Canadian ships By Dan Bedell HALIFAX (CP) — The Soviet Union’s ever-growing arsenal of mines and minelaying ships has serving members of Canada’s navy doing something they haven’t done before — speaking out sharply about the military’s need for new equipment, namely minesweepers.“It’s just another problem that impacts on our capabilities and we are looking at whether that is so serious a problem it might require a higher priority,” Gen.Gerald Theriault, chief of defence staff, said in an interview.The Canadian navy includes six vessels built as coastal minesweepers in 1957 but all were stripped of that capability in 1966 and are now used at Esquimalt, B.C., for training reserves and cadets.The Soviet Union, with the largest force of warships for sowing or clearing mines among all the world’s na- vies, has about 300.Canada now depends on a U.S.Navy force of 23 ships and 18 helicopters for clearing its harbors.American helicopter squadrons from Norfolk, Va., have used Halifax harbor for mine-clearing exercises in the last three years after officials found the harbor’s depth and currents ideal for training.The harbor is also similar to strategic European ports they might be called upon to clear.On the West Coast, a panel of NATO military experts recently warned that Soviet merchant ships could easily close the Port of Vancouver with strategically-placed mines.STOCKPILES WEAPONS “We know the Soviets have enough mines stockpiled to pull off such a manoeuvre,” warned Capt.Chris Young of the Royal Navy.While mine-clearing is a dangerous and specialized task, experts say virtually any ship — merchant or milita- ry — is capable of laying them.“Mines are a very cheap and dirty way to block up a harbor and deny access to the open sea,” said Col.Ian Patrick of the Maritime Warfare School in Halifax.He said Soviet fishing trawlers, freighters or submarines could easily mines Canadian harbors weeks before any hostilities began.Radio signals from ships or satellites could then triggerthe arming mechanisms.Mines effectively stopped ship traffic during the Suez Canal crisis of the 1950s and Vietnam War in the 1970s and low cost, portability and technological advances keep the weapon attractive.The world’s major military publications have warned for years about the growing mine threat and lack of response by the West.“Mine warfare continues to suffer from almost total neglect,” warned the Paris-based Combat Fleets of the World in its 1980-81 edition.In the 1983-84 edition, Capt.John Moore, editor of Jane’s Flighting Ships, said the West’s lack of minesweepers would allow the Soviets to easily close most key U.S.and British ports.TAKING ACTION While not considered a priority among NATO’s 16 members, steps are being taken to bring mine counter-measures technology up to date with the weapons themselves.West Germany uses remote-controlled, Troika-type submersibles to detect mines.Britain’s has five Hunt-class ships in service and four under construction, all with a design similar to fishing stern trawlers but with a glass-reinforced plastic hull.The innovative hull is less likely to trigger mines, many of which are set off by magnetic attraction to steel hulls.The military leaders have political support, with a Senate report last June calling for the Canadian navy to have 13 mine warfare ships by 1990.The report also recommended the navy have 17 frigates, 12 fast patrol boats, 36 long and short-range patrol aircraft, 45 helicopters and 20 submarines by 1990, compared with the current 20 destroyers, 18 patrol planes, 32 helicopters and three submarines.“If the decision were taken to direct substantially more money and resources to a mine-warfare capability, it would be a mission very suitable for the naval reserve,” Theriault said, echoing the sentiment expressed by his predecessor, Gen.Ramsey Withers.Withers said two months before his retirement this summer that more emphasis would be placed on mine countermeasures.OPTIONS PLANNED Until U.S help arrives, Canadian contingency plans call for small navy auxiliary craft and helicopters to work together to clear a path wide enough for warships to leave their bases at Halifax and Esquimau.The techniques would be relatively primitive, with the helicopters drag ging heavy steel tubes through the water in hopes of detonating mines.In the Falkland Islands crisis, the British filled a derelict ship with scrap metal and made its engines as noisy as possible.The vessel was then towed through suspected minefields in hopes the metal content would trigger magnetic mines and the noise would set off acoustic mines, the two most common types The manufacturers of some remote-controlled sensing devices used by marine surveyors and oceanographers say their equipment could be modified to detect mines, but no interest has been expressed by the Canadian government.MIT professor: Forget the fuss over fusion—it’s a fabulous failure By Daniel Haney CAMBRIDGE, Mass.(AP) —Thermonuclear fusion is touted by many as the ideal power source of the 21st century — safe, clean and limitless.But a veteran of the multibillion-dollar program to create it has arrived at an unsettling conclusion: fusion simply won’t work.Prof.Lawrence Lidsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an unlikely gadfly.He is associate director of MIT’s Plasma Fusion Centre and editor of the Journal of Fusion Energy.He began studying fusion technology in 1959 and has worked on it ever since.“There’s nothing I’d rather do than build a fusion reactor,” he said.But about five years ago, he decided that the technological problems were insurmountable.A reactor fuelled by the fusion of deuterium and tritium would be too big, too complex, too expensive and too unreliable.Quietly, he warned his colleagues in the government and at universities.“Some didn’t care, and some didn’t want to know.” So Lidsky went public.In the October issue of MIT’s Technology Review, a magazine with a circulation of 75,000, Lidsky makes his case against fusion.MAKES SUN SHINE Fusion is the energy that makes the sun shine.Theoretically it holds many advantages over the fission reactors that generate electricity today.These fission reactors produce heat by splitting atoms apart; fusion joins them.Fusion reactors might produce 3,000 times less radioactivity than their fission counterparts.A meltdown, the potential worst catastrophe of a fission reactor, could not happen with fusion.And fusion would befuelled with deuterium, a hydrogen isotope found in endless quantities in seawater.The outlook for fusion seems so promising that the U.S.Energy Department is spending about $450 million a year to develop it.The goal is a process that could make commercial electricity within 30 years.Defenders of the fusion program argue that neither Lidsky nor anyone else can predict what technological breakthroughs will be made decades from now.“I think he’s overdramatizing what are otherwise legitimate concerns,” says Stephen Dean, president of Fusion Power Associates, a trade group.“We must keep these problems in mind as the development goes on The program is still at least 20 years from having to compete in the marketplace, To say we can’t solve them is premature.” The major difficulty, Lidsky maintains, is trying to build a reactor that runs on deuterium.In the centre of the reactor, deuterium and another hydrogen isotope, tritium, would be heated to several times the temperature of the sun.Their nuclei fuse and re- lease neutrons.TAKE A BEATING This gas like mixture, called a plasma, would be surrounded by a metal wall, and it would take a tremendous beating from the fast moving neu Irons.In fact, Lidsky said, each atom in the wall would be dislodged about 30 times a year.“From the point of view of the day-to-day operation of the plant, the key limiting problem is the neutron bom bardment and the damage to the ma terials," he said.The metal becomes brittle and breaks.The plasma would be further contained by superconducting magnets cooled by liquid helium to within a few degrees of absolute zero.So temperatures in the reactor would range from the highest to almost the lowest.The fusion plant would also be far more complicated than a fission reactor This complexity, along with the stresses produced by neutrons and temperature extremes, will mean that it will break down a lot, Lidsky said.Even though radioactivity in the reactor will be relatively modest, it will still be too high for workers to get inside and make repairs.And a fusion plant would probably have to be bigger than a fission reactor to make as much power.Lidsky said that this, along with its unreliability, would make fusion so extremely expensive that no utility would want it.1 6—Thr RECORD—Tuesday, October 4, 198.'! Living Ssconl E.T.Nuclear Disarmament Associations holds first public meeting By Meredith Kohl banners, intricately (The cards were kindly m.>n« m., .By Meredith Kohl On Tuesday September 20, this orsaniza tion held its first public meeting in George-ville, drawing concerned people from many corners of the Eastern Townships.The President, Mrs.A Ogilvy Leslie, welcomed everyone and briefly outlined the aims, ambitions, and methodology of how the group could effectively support the peace movement.The guest speaker, Mrs.Muriel Duckworth of Austin, is the recipient of many honors for her tremendous contributions toward the advancement of human rights and her active role in pursuit of peace.Mrs.Duckworth recently returned fro pi Japan, where she participated as a representative for Canada at the “Annual World Peace Conference” in Hiroshima.As an expression of sympathy and support to the Japanese peoples’ determination to have no nuclear weapons on their soil, the “Eastern Townships Nuclear Disarmament Association” gave Muriel Duckworth seventeen banners’.The banners, intricately designed by Philip Mackenzie, and by Montreal Textile designer, Penelope Day, show a white maple leaf circumscribed by the Japanese rising sun, and proclaim in traditional Japanese characters, “to the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Peace.” These were presented to the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Peace organizations, the director of the "Hiroshima Peace Museum," schools, and buddist priests.The appreciation of these ’token' banners was overwhelming.Mrs.Duckworth said that the major of Hiroshima proclaimed his pleasure by saying, “ t h i s banner will always hang on my office wall”; and another recipient expressed appreciation in a charming letter, wishing “that a nuclear free sun will always shine upon those cheerful maple trees of your northern home."

T he provincial Transportation Department started chan ging the name on road signs last spring after consulting an Ottawa mario romano committee, but public outcry is still strong.Graham, a former Quebec resident, said the government has also changed the spelling of communities such as St.Anthony, B u c -touche and Shippegan to their French spellings.“It is part of their French-only policy," he said.Two petitions circulated among 89 people showed 88 living in the community of 150 about 40 kilometres northeast of Moncton were opposed to the change.Leo Downing, organizer of one of the petitions, said citizens are upset that the name was changed by bureaucrats in the provincial capital of Fre-d e r i c t o n without consultation."You might as well forget about democracy when the government acts in such an Zucchini, zucchini and gadzooks!

part of the province,” he said.A large percentage of the province’s French population lives in the northern half of New Brunswick.Downing said 34 of the 88 people who signed the petition have French as their mother tongue.The population of the community is roughly split between French and English.CHECKED WITH OTTAWA Transportation Minister Wilfred Bishop said the signs were changed only after a check with the Gazetteer of Canada, published by the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names, showed the community’s official name as Cap-des Caissie.Alan Rayburn of Ot-tawa, executive-secretary for t h e committee, said the change was part of the group’s desire to have a community's name reflect the predomi- nant language of its population.Rayburn said New Brunswick has a long history of anglicizing French community names and the committee has been taking steps to have the names more accurately represent the area’s population.Besides the emotional issue, Downing said resident's are concerned about practical matters such as land deeds and wills which list Caissie Cape as their residence.“How will they be affected?” Downing believes someone pressured Bishop to make the move.‘‘Otherwise why would it matter to him?,” he said.“He’s in Fredericton and Caissie Cape is a long way away.” Rayburn said the committee has to be careful in areas where the population is half French and half English.There are also areas in which most of the population speaks French, but still wants to keep the English name, he said.THANK YOU! ,&j.without your help the SPA could not

remote man who sat at the head of the table — otherwise known as Dad — has been given short shrift by everyone, including his family, psychologists and even himself, says an author who has written a book on fathers.Christopher Andersen, author of Father: The Figure and the Force, says he wrote the book to help explain why children see their fathers as resident aliens and why it is important to change their image and role.Andersen’s book is not a scholarly work but it offers a look at what fathers have and have not done and what the so-called New Father is doing now.In Toronto on a promotional tour, the People magazine editor said Nancy Friday’s book, My Mother — Myself, inspired him to write about fathers because her book was lopsided in its treatment of parental influence.QUESTIONS TIRING There are plenty of celebrity anecdotes in the book and he found that they, politicians and executives all were tired of being asked about their mothers, when they felt their lives were more influenced by their fathers.For example, Margaret Trudeau refers to her father as the “towering presence.’’ The “legacy of fear” clouds the father-child relationship into adul thood and can be dill i cult to overcome, Andersen said.For instance, a father teases his little girl by calling her Chubby.The little girl becomes an anorexic woman and a perfectionist.But Dad can be as much a victim of his role as is his child, he said.His family cannot communicate with him so he becomes isolated, embittered, unable to express himself or feel his family’s support.Changing the relationship between father and child can be difficult but it is worth while for both parties to try, Andersen said.FEELINGS IMPROVE Fathers really “soften up” when their grown children try to get to know them better, he said, and the children can find some explanations for their own behavior and attitudes.As for the New Father, Andersen said there are some unfor- tunate myths developing there, as well.“You can’t teach parenting in eight lessons from a book or from six weeks of Lemaze,” he said."That kind of New Father is a fraud.” He approves of a father being present at the birth of his child, but said many men are quick to abandon the drudgery of child-rearing after the initial thrill, leaving mother to carry on with the dir- ty work.And the notion of “quality time” versus ‘‘quantity time” is bunk, he says, adding dads have to be around more.Basing his beliefs on his experience with his own three-year-old daughter and his reading of child psychology for the book, Andersen says the first three years of life are crucial for creating an emotional anchor with a child.& O » n z X O Œ o LU X NbopCJtoT HME to 5l6fU UP FcR HOME 66, TWYLA î YA KWoW, THIG IS A uew A66

accomplishments of the younger members of his Los Angeles Dodgers, is nevertheless turning to a veteran for tonight’s opening game of the National League Championship Series against Philadelphia Phillies.With 300-game winner Steve Carlton starting for the East Division champion Phillies against the Dod gers' Jerry Reuss, Lasorda said he will use veteran Derrel Thomas in the outfield for Los Angeles.Mike Marshall, the Dodgers right fielder virtually all season, shifts to first base and rookie Greg Brock, a left-handed hitter, sits against southpaw Carlton.Thomas, 32, batted 250 in 118 games this season.Brock got off to a fast start, then struggled in the second half of the season and batted on ly .224.Lasorda, though, doesn'twant the move misunderstood.He is excited about this West Division title, won in a year when the Dodgers were supposed to be rebuilding.PROUD OF KIDS’ “The headline in the paper the other day said it all,” he said, “They were boys in April.“They are men in October.“We’re proud of this year’s accomplishments.We stayed with the kids.At times, it was a battle.1 looked up one day in Atlanta and we had seven guys in the lineup who were kids.I told our coaches in spring training that we’d have to do a lot of teaching this year and be more patient because of the limited experience.” Gone from the Dodgers this year were fixtures like third baseman Ron Cey and first baseman Steve Garvey.Pedro Guerrero was shifted from right field to third base and Marshall inherited his old outfield post.Brock took over at first base.The continuing off the field problems of reliever Steve Howe turned into a season-long dilemma.It was not a simple season for the manager.“This game drives some managers to drink," Lasorda noted.“This year drove me to quit.” Despite the difficult summer, the Dodgers had one soft touch all season long.That was the Phillies, who lost 11 of 12 games to Los Angeles.ROSE AT FIRST “It wasn't only the Dodgers,” said Pete Rose, who will return to first base for the Phillies in this series.We played bad against all the West clubs.“We had the worst record in our division against the West teams.” The Phillies were 30-42 against the West.4 14 on their two tours of Cali fornia and '.1-8 in Dodger Stadium.bird baseman Mike Schmidt, who led the major leagues in home runs for the sixth time, slamming 40, says all those losses mean nothing now."It’s pride and professionalism,” he said.“This is the League Championship Series.“What happened before doesn’t matter now.” This is the third time in the last seven years Los Angeles and Philadelphia have been paired in the playoffs.The Dodgers prevailed in four games in both 1977 and 1978, moving on to lose the World Series each time against New York Yankees.Philadelphia won the East and, eventually, the World Series in 1980 and the Dodgers captured the West and the series in 1981.Both teams have been reconstructed since their last postseason action.And the rebuilding has been done with different philosophies.MONTREAL (CP) — At the end of the 1982 baseball season, Montreal Expos president John McHale said: “This year, we budgeted to win and it didn’t work.Next year, we’ll budget to be competitive and if we win, it will be a bonus." The Expos made economic pro gross during the 1983 season but slip ped to their poorest won-lost record since 1978.When the National League regular schedule ended Sunday the Expos were third in the East Division with an 82-80 mark, eight games behind the champion Philadelphia Phillies.For the fourth time in five years, the team was in contention and failed to reach the championship series.However, the Expos did not lose$2.1 million, as was the case in 1982.“We will not lose money this year.” said board chairman Charles Bronfman without elaborating.The profit, which will be modest, is the result of several factors, notably the improved Canadian dollar against U S.funds, which the team pays to its players.Also there were no contracts of released players to be honored, something that cost the club about $1.3 million in 1982.ATTENDANCE CLIMBS In addition, attendance at Olympic Stadium was 2,320,650, an increase of almost 3,000 over last year.With an 8.5-per-cent increase in ticket prices, it represented an extra $200,000 in revenue.The Expos started the season favored by many to win the East Division crown.In spring training, new manager Bill Virdon stressed conditioning and fundamentals, stressing the bunt and the hit-and-run.But once the season started, the make-things-happen style of play wasn’t evident.Bronfman said he didn't know why Virdon abandoned the tactic, but added : “Maybe he felt the players he had weren’t suited to doing it." Bronfman, McHale and board member Hugh Hallward will start this week to analyze the organization from its Rookie League team in Calgary to the major league franchise.Certain things are bound to stand out, suchasthe l,213runners the team left on base, by far the highest total in the league.In 1982 the heart of the batting order — A1 Oliver, Gary Carter and Tim Wallach — combined for 79 home runs, 303 runs batted in and a .297 batting average.They produced 44 homers, 233 RBIs and a .280 average in 1983.BLOWS II LEADS The bullpen combined for a 14-22 record, and Jeff Reardon, the ace of the relief corps, blew 11 leads.The bench, supposedly improved, delivered only one game-winning RBI.There were some positive elements.Tim Raines rebounded from drug problems and led the league with 90 stolen bases while hitting .296 with 71 RBIs from the leadoff position.Andre Dawson established a team record with 32 homers and 113 RBIs.Charlie Lea and Bill Gullickson, with 17 and 16 victories respectively, joined 17-game winner Steve Rogers to form an excellent starting corps, that later included Bryn Smith, who came out of the bullpen to post a 2.49 earned-run average and was effective in 10 of 12 starts.Everyone seems to have a theory about what went wrong.Montreal La Presse suggested in an editorial the problem may be socio-cultural.“It is'a.team made up of American players practising their national sport in a strange country, in the heart of a society with which they have no cultural affinity,” wrote editorialist Marcel Adam.Or perhaps, as someone succinctly put it after the Expos were eliminated, “they have the best players, but not the best team.” Abracadabra, shazamand poof.a quarterback! WINNIPEG (CP) —General manager Paul Robson waved his magic wand Monday and came up with a healthy quarterback for Winnipeg Blue Bombers.The manoeuvre resulted in the appearance of veteran John Hufnagel in Winnipeg in a multi-player deal with Saskatchewan Roughriders.To sweeten the deal, Robson sent rookie quarterback Nickie Hall, wide receiver-defensive back Nate Johnson and defensive tackle Jason Riley to the Roughriders for Hufnagel and defensive end J.C.Pelesi.He’s performed tricks a number of times this season in making deals for players such as veteran quarterback Tom Clements from Hamilton Tiger-Cats, linebacker John Pointer from Toronto Argonauts, running back Willard Reaves from Edmonton Eskimos and cornerback David Shaw from the Tiger-Cats.Saskatchewan, in the Western Division cellar with a 3-9 record, also re- MONTREAL (CP) — Veteran right winger Grant Mulvey and defence-nan John Van Boxmeer wen the most prominent players selected — and Dale McCourt the most prominent player not selected — in the National Hockey League’s annual waiver draft Monday.Pittsburgh Penguins, selecting first because of their last-place finish last season, chose Mulvey, 27, from Chicago Black Hawks and promptly dropped centre Paul Gardner, a 28-goal scorer last season.Van Boxmeer, 30, was chosen by defence-poor Quebec Nordiques from Buffalo Sabres.McCourt, who was touted as a can’t-miss prospect when Detroit Red Wings made him the first pick overall in the 1977 amateur draft, was left unprotected by Buffalo and went through the draft unclaimed.The 26-year-old centre now can be sent to the minors by Buffalo, having cleared league waivers.Eleven players were selected in the four-round draft, conducted by confe- ceived an undisclosed pick in the 1984 Canadian university draft.The Bombers, fighting B.C.Lions for first place in the Western Division, made the trade for 1983.Robson and rookie head coach Cal Murphy feel the club has an excellent chance of making its first Grey Cup appearance since 1965.CLEMENTS HURT But their aspirations received a jolt last Saturday when Clements suffered a broken collarbone during a game against the Ticats, putting the inexperienced Hall in the spotlight for a key game at Winnipeg Stadium on Monday afternoon against the Lions.So instead of leaving the Bombers’ fortunes up to Hall, Robson went after Hufnagel, who was acquired by Saskatchewan from Calgary Stampe-ders after he played out his option in 1980.Robson said he was sorry to trade rence call among the 21 NHL teams.Mulvey, who scored 30 goals and and added 19 assis* ' IT'* 82 played only th+ee games wan Chicago last season and five with Spi ingfield, the Black Hawks farm team in the Ameri can Hockey League, because of a knee injury.DROPPED BY BOWMAN Van Boxmeer was among the 17 skaters and twro goaltenders protected by the Sabres according to NHL rules, hut w’as dropped by Buffalo after general manager Scotty Bowman chose Mark Renaud, another defence-man, from Hartford Whalers.The Nordiques dropped veteran defenceman Pat Price to clear a spot for Van Boxmeer.Quebec acquired Price, 28, late last season from Pittsburgh after a spate of injuries depleted their defensive corps.Renaud had been dropped by the Whalers after general manager Emile Francis, selecting second, claimed right winger Mike Crombeen from St.Louis Blues in the first round.Hall.Riley and Johnson.“We just felt in the best interest of the club and the possibility of a stretch run here that we needed a veteran quarterback.” Robson, fast becoming the trading wizard of the CFL and the man quar-terback Dieter Brock couldn’t convince to rewrite a long contract, believes the combination of Clements and Hufnagel at quarterback “will be very advantageous to us.” The Bombers have an 8-4 record this season and share first place in the West with the Lions with 16 points each.However, B.C.is 8-3 and defeated the Bombers 44-6 in an earlier meeting between the clubs in Winnipeg.LOOKS TO FUTURE Saskatchewan is obviously looking towards the future in the acquisition of Hall, 24, from Tulane University; Riley, 24, from University of British Columbia Thunderbirds, and John- SU Louis general manager Ron Caron used the draft to add some muscle to the Blues lineup In the first round, Caron selected defenceman Terry lohnson, a rugged defenceman from Quebec and dropped left winger Jack Carlson.In the second, he took defenceman Dwight Schofield from Montreal Canadiens.Schofield, 27, played two games with the Canadiens in 1982-83, spending most of the season with Nova Scotia Voyageurs.His most memorable moment came when he fought Edmonton Oilers’ tough guy Dave Se-menko.MOVES TWICE Jeff Brubaker, another some-time Montreal enforcer, changed teams twice during the draft.In the first round, Quebec claimed him after Montreal, seeking help for an injury-riddled defence, took Nordiques defenceman Jean Hamel and dropped son, 26, a member of the National Football League New York Giants in 1981.Roughriders coach Reuben Berry said the trade was too sweet for Saskatchewan to ignore.“I feel we now have some young players who have great potential,” he said.The Bombers also announced Monday that the injury to Clements wasn’t as serious as first diagnosed, saying he may return to action in time for a game against Edmonton on Oct.23.However, with the acquisition of Hufnagel, the Bombers might decide to rest Clements until the club’s final regular season game against Toronto early in November.Hufnagel, 31, a Penn State all-American, took over as Saskatchewan’s No.1 quarterback earlier this season when the Roughriders traded Joey Adams to the Argonauts.He completed 116 of 229 pass attempts for 1,649 yards and 10 touchdowns.waiver draft Brubaker from their protected list.In the second round.Brubaker became a Calgary Flame after general manager Cliff Fletcher opted to include the left winger and delete defenceman Greg Meredith’s name from his protected list.The other players to change teams were former Edmonton centre Don Nachbaur, claimed by Los Angeles Kings; former St.Louis centre Mike Zuke, chosen by Hartford; and former St.Louis right winger Bobby Crawford, also taken by Hartford.To make room for Nachbaur, the Kings dropped centre Mark Lof-thouse.Hartford deleted Ross Yates, the leading scorer in the American Hockey League last season, after they picked up Zuke.In a mild surprise, Hartford liberated right winger Doug Sulliman to make room for Crawford.Sulliman scored 22 goals in 1982-83 and had 29 goals and 69 points in 1981-82.Mulvey, Van Boxmeer highlight NHL Scoreboard FOOTBALL nn Amintan Conference Last Wl T FAR Ball 3 2 0 118 118 600 Buffalo 3 2 0 78 88 600 Miami 3 2 0 81 74 60(1 Jets 3 2 0 125 103 600 New Ing Central 111 13?400 Cleve 3 2 0 108 108 600 Pitts 3 2 0 115 101 600 Gwci 1 4 0 98 200 Houston 0 5 0 Wait 95 148 000 Raiders 4 1 0 124 74 81X1 Seattle 105 94 600 San Diego 142 153 400 Kan City 2 3 0 87 85 400 Denver 2 3 0 62 National Conterence East 86 400 Dallas 5 0 0 151 1 000 Wash 4 t 0 144 108 800 Phtla 3 2 0 87 88 600 Grants 2 3 0 % 101 400 St Louis t 4 0 Central 89 153 200 Green Bay 3 2 0 147 600 Minnesota 3 2 0 107 139 600 Chicago 2 3 0 115 100 40Q Detroit 1 4 0 r8 10?00 Tampa Bay 0 5 0 West 000 San Fran 4 t 0 164 99 800 New Or! 3 2 0 126 106 600 FLams 3 2 0 115 97 600 Atlanta 107 99 400 Monday Retail NY Jets 34 Buffalo 10 Sen4ay Garnet Washington at SI Louis Denver al Houston Minnesota at Chicago NY Jets at Cleveland Green Bay at Detroit New Orleans at Atlanta Buffalo at Miami New l ngland at Baltimore Seattle at San Diego Kansas City at LA Raiders LA Rams at San Francisco Tampa Bay at Dallas Philadelphia at NY Giants Sé7 lUé TILDEN JCAUMNTM » MOVING T»urn\| WEEKEND SPECIALTY I 4141 King $t V* th»r-br«ofc« veHtfne *• Monday.Oct 10 Pittsburgh at Cincinnati N BC CTL Stai 0?94 TORONTO (CPI CanadianFootball League statistics
