Quebec, Ontario challenge Bell's demands for rate hikes OTTAWA (CP) — Ontario and Quebec complained Wednesday that Bell Canada has not provided them with sufficient information for use in their fight against telephone rate increases proposed by the company Lawyers for the two provinces told the Canadian transport commission they are afraid the information they requested of the company may not be forthcoming or that it may be provided too late for efficient use Raynald Langlois, representing the Quebec government, said 50 of the 75 questions he submitted to Bell in December have been answered, but some answers were inadequate or merely refusals to provide the requested information Dan Burtnick, representing Ontario, told commission chairman Guy Roberge he is afraid the information he sought last month may arrive too late to be used effectively in the current hearings.So far.his questions had not been answered Mr Roberge asked the lawyers to submit copies of the questions and any answers received for study by the commission Arguments would be heard Friday on whether Bell is providing appropriate responses The Bell rate increase application being considered would increase the average monthly home telephone bill by 10 cents for about 4 3 million subscribers in Ontario, Quebec and the Northwest Territories.Bell says the new rates are needed to add about $51.8 million to its 1974 revenues and attract investment required for improvement and maintenance of its service.HAD SET BACK Quebec s fight against the proposed increase suffered a setback Wednesday when the commission rejected its attempt to have Northern Electric operations scrutinized publicly dur- ing rate hearings involving Bell, its parent company The decision by the telecommunications committee of the transport commission rejected Quebec s argument that an examination of Northern s telephone operations is necessary for a meaningful decision on Bell rates Mr Langlois and fellow Quebec lawyer Ross Goodwin said the province my decide to appeal the decision to the Federal Court Quebec wants intervenors to have access to information on Bell-Northern relations for use in their arguments against rate increases The decision said the commission already has access to information on financial links between Bell and Northern that it considers pertinent to the hearing However, such information is for use of the commission only, unless it decides to release it publicly.Quebec, supported by Ontario, argued last month that Northern is a vital part of Bell's operation and thus falls under the jurisdiction of the transport commission where telephone rates are concerned Following rejection of the Quebec position, the hearing resumed with examination of a report on investor interest in Bell, prepared for the company by Montreal financial analyst James Pitblado SAYS VITAL Mr Pitblado said in his report it is vital Bell be granted the requested increase to regain the confidence of investors Under questioning by Mr Burtnick.he said Bell s attractiveness to investors is diminished by the lengthy regulatory process of setting rates which makes prospective investors unsure about the company ’s prospects This uncertainty was aggra vated by the federal cabinet reducing rates granted Bell by the transport commission last year Mr Pitblado s report says Bell requires a 15-to 20-percent increase in its earnings per share to restore investor confidence “ He told Mr Burtnick delays in granting the increase will reduce the company s earnings by about five cents a share for each month of delay His figures are based on Bell s own forecasts and might be off if the company s projections are wrong.Mr Pitblado said Bell says its proposed rates would enable it to attract about $200 million in investment It proposes to increase the cost of pay telephone calls to 20 cents from 10 cents and introduce a 25 cent charge for operator as- sistance on numbers listed in the directory This charge would not apply to calls from pay phones or handicapped persons The rate increase would be Bell’s fifth since 1969 LEGION EXECUTIVE - The Sherbrooke Legion executive met recently in a planning session.Left to right sitting are Sid Hart, welfare officer; Conrad Thompson, president; Peter Webb, vice-president; and Russ Quinn, treasurer.Standing are Roland Aube, F.A.chairman, Gilles

federal judge little new to ponder in response to the judge s request for an updated and more specific statement of why he is withholding White House tapes from the Senate Watergate committee In a five-paragraph letter delivered Wednesday to U S District Judge Gerhard Gesell.the president restated his argument that the court lacks the power to decide the dispute between the executive and legislative branches of government He asserted executive privilege for all of the five tapes demanded by the committee in a subpoena issued last July.The committeee’s intention to make the conversations public and the affect that might have on any future Watergate prose cutions were cited by the presi dent as his primary reasons for withholding them Nixon noted that the tapes turned over to the special Watergate prosecution were for use in secret grand jury deliberations Last Jan 25.Gesell issued an order saying that the president’s prior claims of executive privilege were "too general and not sufficiently contempo raneous.” He asked Nixon for a signed statement “addressed tc specific portions of the subpoe naed tape recordings saying which parts he still wants tc withhold and why he believes giving them to the committee would not be in the public inter est Insid* today BIRTHS & DEATHS 6 CLASSIFIED 10 COMICS VI EDITORIAL 4 FAMILY 5 FINANCIAL 2 SPORTS 7 TV 11 British

member World Confederation of Labor LONDON (AP) - Hawks in the British cabinet have convinced Prime Minister Edward Heath that he must call a general election because of the coal strike starting Sunday, political commentators reported today Many politicians expected the cabinet to agree at a meeting today to go to the voters for support against the miners.Feb 28 is the most widely predicted election day The Conservative prime minister may, however, defer a decision to see if contacts Wednesday night between the Confederation of British Industry and Trades Union Congress will head off the strike No statement was issued after the labor-management meeting With opinion polls indicating the country evenly divided for and against the government.Heath fought off election pres- sure for two weeks “The government has to accept its responsibility to govern.” he said.“We shall go on doing so.’’ But that was before the miners voted overwhelmingly last week to expand their slowdown into a strike to support their demand for pay raises in excess of Heath's anti-inflation ceilings LAYOFFS FEARED Police have few clues on Hearst kidnappers BERKELEY.Calif ( AP ) — Authorities say they have few clues to the whereabouts of kidnapped newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst They are not ruling out the possibility her captors may still be holding her in this university town “For all we know they could be six blocks from here.” police information officer Richard Berger said Wednesday of the white woman and two black men who abducted the 19-yearold from her apartment here Monday night Lieut David Johnson said police were searching the Berkeley hills by helicopter in the area where Miss Hearst’s kidnappers headed and were going door to door in her neighborhood questioning possible witnesses “Something's going to break in the next day or so,” Johnson said “I just can t (believe) whoever has her is going to keep her much longer without making a move John Kelley, assistant agent in charge of the San Francisco FBI office, said quite a number of men’’ are pursuing unspecified new developments But he emphasized there had been “no big breakthroughs in the case Neither the police nor the Hearst family had received any ransom demand or contact of any kind.Kelley said Miss Hearst is the granddaughter of the late William Randolph Hearst, founder of the newspaper and magazine empire that bean» his name Kelley said a special FBI artist from Washington is using witnesses descriptions to make composite pictures of the three kidnappers, all said to be in their 20s He also said

workers on the unemployed rolls by the end of this month, threaten thousands of firms with bankruptcy and bring periodic power blackouts to homes Chancellor of the Exchequer Anthony Barber, an advocate of an election test with the miners, indicated Wednesday what the Conservative campaign platform would be “The real issue at stake is whether the country is to be governed by the rule of reason, the rule of Parliament and the rule of democracy.’’ he told the House of Commons ‘‘The vast majority of people in Britain detest the alternative, which ultimately can only be chaos, anarchy and a totalitarian or Communist regime.” He accused the Labor party of “doing all it can to stir up envy and hatred and of encouraging the strike Labor Leader Harold Wilson, however, said this argument is “a fraid—the short answer is that for some months r.ow no one has governed Britain ” Hussein averts mutiny by upping soldiers' pay BEIRUT, l^banon (AP) — King Hussein of Jordan raised his army’s pay scales Wednesday following reports of a mutiny by Bedouin troops at an army garrison north of Amman, the Jordanian news agency reported Hussein's government maintained a news blackout, but dip lomatic and other sources reported that the rebellion occurred Sunday at Zerqa.15 miles north of the Jordanian capital The troops were reported back in their barracks Monday night The news agency issued a terse announcement late Wednesday on the pay increases but did not disclose the amount “His Majesty signed a decree authorizing new pay scales for the officers and men of the armed forces and the internal security force,” it said The Beirut newspaper An Nahar earlier carried a denial of the mutiny report, attributed to Premier Zaid Hifai of Jordan CANCELLED UJ.TRIP Diplomatic reports reaching Beirut said Hussein returned home from London on Tuesday night, cancelling a trip to the United States where he was to meet with President Nixon on Friday They said he now is in control of the situation Sources said the loyalty of the men to Hussein was never in question, but they were demanding dismissal of a number of officials around him and were discontented with the high cost of living Official statistics said prices went up 7 3 per cent in December Hussein made several trips outside Amman on Wednesday, including a visit to Zerqa and a trip to the governmentowned television station, sources reported He was also reported to have stopped a number of times to talk with people along the road Sources said the mutiny, led by junior officers of the elite 40th Armored Brigade, involved more than 100 troops who paraded in trucks and armored personnel carriers around Zerqa on Sunday and Monday dk) Quebec l ^ in focus .Clothing workers strike MONTREAL (CP) About 6.000 clothing workers went on strike Wednesday and manufacturers said there may be shortages of men’s wear at the retail level in Canada within the next three weeks A spokesman for the workers, members of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, said the union voted unanimously earlier Wednesday forimmediate strike action to back up contract demands Henry Bussing, union spokesman, said 3,000 workers who voted to strike had been in a legal position to do so since Monday The workers are employed by 25 men’s wear manufacturers in the Montreal area whose association has been negotiating with the union The remainder, he said, voted to strike in sympathy although they were advised by the union that such action would be illegal Men’s wear plants throughout the Montreal area which employ the striking workers shut down operations immediately and picketing began at noon The striking union represents 9.000 other clothing workers elsewhere in Canada A union spokesman said the rank and file members involved in the strike are the people “who operate machinery down to those who empty the wastebaskets.” The Montreal firms crippled by the strike manufacture about 65 per cent of men’s apparel made in Canada Day care cost $30 million MONTREAL (CP) Full day care services for 30.000 Quebec children would cost exactly half the $30 million estimated by the Quebec government if Quebec used available federal funds, a day care spokesman said Wednesday The Quebec government said Tuesday it will set up a partial day care network within the next few months at an estimated cost of $30 million Monique Cote, a spokesman for 25 centres operating under the Local Initiatives Program (L I P ), said the Quebec figure does not take into account the Canada Assistance Plan There are two cases where the federal government will contribute toward day care services under the plan for people on welfare or for people who may end up on welfare if they cannot get out to work The spokesman said the latter category includes single parents who are the sole support of their families This category represents the majority of parents using the L I P financed centres here Quebec may import oats MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec may have to import oats this year because of a current shortage in the province.Agriculture Minister Normand Toupin said Wednesday “We are looking for a way out of this situation as current stocks diminish week by week,” Mr Toupin told a meeting here of the Co-operative Federee de Quebec a co-operative farmers group The shortage of oats may seriously affect major animal producers this year and Mr Toupin said he wanted to make sure this situation did not occur again Any future federal policy on grains will “have to assure suf ficient deliveries to eastern producers,' as well as establishing uniform prices across the country, he said Many pensioners ineligible for Quebec's drug program MONTREAL (CP) — Senior citizens in Quebec are finding that many of them are ineligible for the provincial government’s free drug plan for persons over 65.a spokesman said Wednesday The program, which went into effect Jan 1.provides free drugs for senior citizens receiving the federal pension and supplement, amounting to $183 a month However, additional revenue from any other source, including the Quebec Pension Plan, bars a person from receiving this benefit Spokesman Maureen Newman told a senior citizens meeting that as a result of this ruling, about two-thirds of the persons in Quebec over 65 years of age are ineligible for the plan since they receive the provincial pension She said contributions to the provincial plan have been compulsory since 1966 so the free drug plan has a built-in obsolescence factor.“Anyone who has worked after 1966 gets penalized, she said Senior citizens attending the meeting were advised that if they need to take advantage of the free drug program, they should opt out of receiving the provincial pension payments since they are often less than the cost of prescription drugs ^ î - THE SHERBROOKE RECORD - THl RS .EEB 7.It74 Montreal MONTREAL (CF) - Prices were generally lower in light trading on the Montreal

' 'MV Pratte (alls for rational transportation policy TORONTO — The urgent need for an orderly and economic development of Canada’s transportation services through appropriate and rational allocation of natural resources was emphasized by Yves Pratte.Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada Air Canada Speaking to the Empire Club of Toronto, he stated that transportation is more vital than ever for the unity of our nation ' Air Canada is, he said.prepared to devote our talents to assisting the policy makers in designing a set of useful, meaningful and realistic objectives that will carry us forward over the ensuing decades as a strong and unified country ” Air Canada s Chairman stated the need for periodic review of competition between various modes of Canadian transportation and between operators of the modes it is certainly a matter that should be analyzed in order to determine how they should interrelate for the betterment of Canada and the avoidance of unnecessary duplication One should not lose sight of the fact that waste has to be paid for and will, in the end.result in either inadequate or more expensive transportation systems ’’ Mr Pratte raised the issue of the financing of transportation in Canada, emphasizing that the State has a very definite interest in ensuring that adequate transportation services are offered at minimum possible price through a pricing structure that is equitable, conducive to the attainment of stated national goals and does not lead to inefficiency w'hich in the end results m higher costs The State, he said, should pay for services that are essentially required for national purposes and which cannot be justified on an ordinary commercial basis ” He also expressed the view that pricing formulas should generally be the same throughout the country, irrespective of the volume of business or of the operating difficulties in one particular location Air Canada s special role as a Crown corporation was underlined by its Chairman We must, in a tangible way, assist in the attainment of stated national, social and economic objectives This is the special mandate which we have and which we fully recognize and accept Both our status as a Crown corporation and as a commercial enterprise demand that we be profit-oriented; but profitability cannot be our sole goal and.contrary to other enterprises, it is not our raison d être Mr Pratte emphasized the fundamental impact that inflationary pressures are placing on Canadian transportation “While it is true that we are a rich country, nevertheless the demands on our resources are great, and the current energy crisis serves to bring home to us the importance of avoiding waste and duplication ” Cost escalation since 1971 for wages, fuel and food, he said, will increase Air Canada's total operating expense in 1974 by $179 million Fuel availability is not having any appreciable effect on operations of the company s domestic services, but soaring prices will probably increase fuel costs in 1974 by $80 million over 1973 These increases, said Air Canada s Chairman.“arc literally staggering ” The aviation industry, he pointed out.is at or near the end of a period when rapid technical improvements decreased unit costs and increased productivity What is facing the industry now is general cost pressures on all fronts and all of this indicates the magnitude of the challenge facing us”.He pledged, however, that Air Canada will do everything possible to minimize the impact of the inflationary spiral on its customers “The easy way would be to pass on the full amount of our increased costs We feel, however, that because we are a Crown corporation and because it is part of our mandate to facilitate travel for Canadians, we have to minimize the effect of these higher costs on the travelling public through greater efficiency We do not and will not allow ourselves to regard fare increases as the automatic panacea to cost escalation “The price of air transportation ”, said Mr Pratte.“is likely to increase as costs escalate, but Air Canada will hold this increase to a strict minimum It will be the objective of Air Canada management to determine what are the essentials that its Despite inflation Sporting goods booming MONTREAL (CP) - Inflation and the energy crisis may be taking a bite out of many businesses but Canada s sporting goods industry is still booming, says R K Ferguson, president of the Canadian Sporting Goods Association.“If you take away big ticket items such as pleasure cruisers and such, turnover in Canada now hits $250 million a year at the retail level,’ he said.There has been a tremendous upsurge in the past three years as more leisure time becomes available There’s also a greater interest in doing things and much more awamess of physical fitness ” Mr Ferguson, also president of A G Spalding and Bros., said there is a chance that the plastic used to make many sporting goods could be harder to get because of a petrochemical shortage “I don t think though, we will have difficulty in meeting original orders If the demand continues heavy, there may be some problems in re-orders “However, at the moment, we can’t answer that question Prices, he said, have increased in the last few vears.“but I don’t think as fast as many other things.” “The so-called energy crisis could bring problems but.to what extent, it’s hard to say at this juncture.” Mr Ferguson, described the annual sporting goods show held at Place Bonaventure as “worthwhile ” The association, whose membership includes 1,002 retailers, wholesalers and suppliers financed the show which attracted 201 exhibits.“Smaller companies do a great deal of their order taking at the show Others also benefit but people like us with sales offices and agents across the country use it to write additional business “This year’s show attracted exhibitors and buyers from Europe.the U.S., the Orient and South America, as well as every province in Canada ” Mr Ferguson, who joined Spalding three years ago after being in the chemical and food business, was himself an athlete of some note during the early fifties.He represented Canada at the 1950 and 1954 Commonwealth Games and the Olympics in 1952 customers want It 1^ clear that the cost pressures are such that we will have to disregard some of the frills that we may have been accustomed to and that in effect may have had more appeal in the eyes of the carriers than in the eyes of the customer We will be required to make a balanced judgment as between the optimum level of service that is desired by the customer and the kind of service we can afford to offer at a price he can afford to pay Mr Pratte announced, as a major step in the new direction of providing basic transportation requirements, that Air Canada will introduce a no-reservation, one-class, shuttle service between Toronto and Montreal in the fall of 1974 The expanded and improved Rapidair service will employ new Boeing 727-200 jets which will be dedicated to this run.flying between the two cities every hour “This,’ said Air Canada s Chairman, “will be good, sound, basic transportation with the accent on convenience rather than on unnecessary extras The aim is very simple - getting the passenger where he wants to go.when he wants to go.quickly and easily, on time, in good comfort, and preferably, with his baggage Mr Pratte.in paying testimonv to Air Canada employees, pledged that Canada s national airline will do every thing possible “to avoid the cyclical, regular and massive layoffs that have been a mark of the industry in the United States In my view there has to be a better way of running an airline and dealing with human beings." Air Canada, he said, “is.in the truest sense, a national resource of unique value and importance It has made and is making a worthwhile contribution to the economic and social well-being in Canada, it

will get millions in federal grants any day THE SHERBROOKE RECORD - THl'RS., FEB 7.Ifl4 - J B> i ROSBIF COTTON Record Reporter SHERBROOKE - The Eastern Townships will soon be awarded millions of dollars in federal grants.Sherbrooke s Member of Parliament.Irenee Pelletier, said yesterday Mr Pelletier said only one or two technicalities between the federal and provincial governments had to be ironed out before the official announcement is made But he expects the announcement ' soon ' The grants will amount to anywhere between four and ten million dollars Mr Pelletier added Mr Pelletier was speaking on an open-line radio program in Sherbrooke During the 30-minute program Mr Pelletier dealt mainly with primary and secondary industry, although subjects in that sector ranged from pollution to the poor wages paid workers in the Eastern Townships and the lack of jobs for English-speaking women in the region GRANTS NEGOTIATED The grants which will be forthcoming are presently being negotiated between the governments in Ottawa and Quebec City The program being worked out will replace the special zone legislation which was adopted by the federal government in the late 1960’s Under that legislation the federal government designated certain zones for special federal-sponsored help But the funds allocated for the program are depleted and anyway, according to Mr.Pelletier, the program didn t work well.“Almost everyone was fighting to get his area designated a special zone.” he said.“Nearly all of Canada was a special zone; even some of the rich areas of Ontario and Montreal What happened to the program which was to ease unemployment and promote industrial development was that the federal government decided which area was designated The provincial government had little to do with the dec ision making PROCESS CHANGED This time the process has changed The provincial government decides its priorities and presents them to the federal government, he said “The provincial government actually decides who is going to get the money ” Sherbrooke is considered a priority by the Quebec government A strong campaign was undertaken in the region to have Sherbrooke and surrounding area designated a special zone The campaign was.to an extent, foolish because the special zone program financed by the federal government and administered by the Department of Regional Economic Expansion had already been shelves But the campaign at least served to make both governments more aware to the problems of the Eastern Townships “During negotiations the provincial government has insisted on the special difficulties of Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships.’ Mr Pelletier said That insistence will pay off for the region shortly.AMOUNT OF AID The amount of government aid will depend on what sectors are to be developed Sherbrooke MNA Jean-Paul Pepin has said that secondary industry and transportation facilities will be major areas helped by government.Probably more important than the grant itself will be the recognition that Sherbrooke and area are facing major industrial growth difficulties.The federal government will help promote industry by offering larger grants to companies wishing to build in Sherbrooke Mr Pelletier said the government help is the only way for the area to get out of its economic doldrums.“The only way we can improve our situation is to have the two governments, provincial and federal, provide incentives.*’ he said Those incentives must be provided to both primary and secondary industry Grants must be given to reconvert outdated uncompetitive industry such as textiles and to attract new industry.Mr Pelletier said SITUATION SAME Without such aid nothing can occur and the situation will remain as it is or even become worse, he told Anglophone listeners Tourism isn’t the answer, he claimed, saying tourism is only a cliche and an escape hatch “The Eastern Townships is treated by government in the same manner as the Gaspe.he said If this region is economically viable then the people will come to the region.' he added W’e should not try to divert the problem and say that our answer is tourism “I don t buy that.” he went on What has to happen first is people have to work and they have to have a job ” ANSWERS CALLER Later in the program, while answering a caller questioning the poor wages paid in the region.Mr Pelletier said that could change if more jobs were available Employers don’t have to pay high wages now because there is an abundance of cheap manpower available High unemployment keeps the wages down and that can change with increased industrial development, he told the caller Asking for everyone to make a concentrated effort, the Sherbrooke MP blasted other Eastern Townships MPs for not “screaming that we need help ” There should be no party lines when a region is in a position like that of the Eastern Townships, he contended The most important thing is that help is needed and needed fast EFFECT ON POLLUTION Mr Pelletier also discussed what effect increased industrial growth IRENEE PELLETIER might have on pollution As one caller put it: “W’e wouldn’t want more industry to pollute our water and ruin the beauty of our region Mr Pelletier noted that everyone blamed industry while pollution should be everybody's effort What are you doing about pollution’’ What am I doing about pollution?What is your neighbor doing about pollution?” Mr Pelletier asked The Quebec* government is presently preparing a pollution bill with the Vermont government This should help.Mr.Pelletier claimed “W'hat would be the use of cleaning up our lakes, rivers and streams if the polluting factors were coming from Vermont’’ he said “The bill will help ” GLOBAL PLAN More important, however, is the need for a global plan for depolluting Quebec water.“We can't really have all the small municipalities with their small plans because the end result will be lousy,” he said He said existing legislation is enough to force industry to stop polluting but that it should be strongly enforced If that doesn’t work then higher fines mav be needed.Pelletier said Rev.Tom Robinson will be guest speaker Tuesday LENNOXVILLE

and to assume the tax burdens on the properties in the future The board will also have to assume a 10 per cent charge for the arrears If the original owner does not redeem the lands bought by the

ISAACS Record Reporter SHERBROOKE - In an effort to prepare itself for better selection of teachers, the Commission Scolaire Régionale de PEstrie (CSRE) last year commissioned a three-man committee to prepare a profile of the Eastern Townships teacher The committee, comprising Lucien Carrier, Gilles Besner and Michel Thibault, received 2,900 responses to the questionnaire it prepared The responses were drawn from teachers, students, parents, commissioners, administrators and student services personnel In essence, the committee discovered that the majority of the respondents envisage the teacher’s role to be that of a guide By this they mean that the teacher suggests methods of growth and responds to needs for knowledge as these needs make themselves known The teacher is expected to be a firm disciplinarian who respects the discipline code and is not too harsh when imposing sanctions for unacceptable behavior Finally, the teacher is seen to be an active participant on committees responsible for the administration of the schools.The report isolated tendencies among respondents which linked together those members of the school milieu in one group, and the members of the family milieu in another That is, the responses of the teachers were most closely aligned with those of student services personnel, principals and administrators, in that order By contrast, the responses of the school board commissioners were most closely aligned with those of the parents and then with those of students The committee found that commissioners, parents and students see the main purpose of the school to be a preparation for future studies Consequently, the report claims, these groups — along with teachers — felt that the most important traits of a teacher are years of schooling and experience Teachers, principals and administrators feel the school s prime purpose involves the training of self-discipline in the student Student services personnel indicated that the development of students understanding of themselves and of others rated the top priority The report showed that administrators, principals md student services personnel were very concerned that the teacher treat his students with respect The committee emphasized that no group rated very highly the cultivation of students’ abilities to modify their environments in effect,’ the report states, “respondents are saying that they don t want to change the environment but.rather, want to adapt the individual to it’ We still prepare for consumption and not creation for a spectator’s role rather than for that of an actor.' In general terms, groups saw the school as an agent for socializing students to society, for providing them with the basic tools required for postsecondary studies, and for training them in the virtues of self-discipline According to parents and students, students would know nothing if teachers were not very demanding Principals, commissioners, teachers and student services personnel contended that students would develop only in those areas of interest to them Administrators felt that students would learn more, though they would learn more slowly, if teachers were not very exacting The composite concept of the student, the report notes, influences the profile of the teacher toward a role characterized by humanness, objectivity, aloofness and responsible authoritarianism SHERBROOKE (MI) According to statistics released recently, the Commission Scolaire Régionale de l’Estrie (CSRE) has expended $31,709.205 during 1973-74, from its operating budget Of this amount.$20.319,460 was paid in salaries to the 2.000 employees of the board More than $3 67 million was allocated to services, fees, and contracts, of which $2 5 million was for school bus transportation.Some 16,000 of the CSRE’s 21,000 students use the school board's transportation system, as do nearly 10.000 elementary school children Transfer costs accounted for $3.2 million and debt service for $2 2 million Stanstead committee formed STANSTEAD — A committee of Roland Rodrigue, mayor and councillors Allan Wing and Paul Tellier was named at the last meeting of the Stanstead municipal council to study the trailer - mobile home bylaws and to do a zoning survey They were asked to prepare a draft to be presented the full council at the March 4 meeting The draft will then be discussed and.if necessary, changes made Council may seek legal advice if so authorized at the March meeting, then a notice of motion will be given so that this matter can be cleared up once and for all In other business finance chairman, councillor Allen Wing, recommended the agreement between the municipality and Stanstead College made in November, 1970 be terminated in view of the present negotiations with the College Nearly $900.000 was expended in the student services area.$743.000 in materials and supplies; $251.000 for administration; and $180.000 for professional improvement During the same period, the CSRE spent nearly $19 million on construction and equipment for schools in Magog, Coaticook, Windsor.Sherbrooke and Asbestos The CSRE is comprised of 97 commissioners representing the school boards of Sherbrooke, Magog, Coaticook, Lac-Megantic.La Sapimere (East Angus).Morilac (Richmond Windsor and Valcourt) and Asbestos.and now (Ik* film.4NMRM4N JEWISON F0m "JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Al JVluir Irihnmè»* Weekday eves.: 7:30 Fri., Sat., & Sun.: 7:006 8:45 p.m.CARREFOUR de LFSTRII » Boulevard Portland • SHERBROQKE Tel 565-0366 WINNER BEST ACTRESS" UV Ul l MANN 14 YEARS ® ./< Max von Sydow jqHN Uf HEINE Liv ullmann .¦ The Emigrants Technicolor* fflfigEWS RUNNING TIMES I LAST ¦bIUJÉJ^dLiUÂflLcdlj|>nl^one^jompln We offer company paid benefits which include Life Insurance.Sickness and Accident Insurance.Hospital and Medical Insurance Prescription Drug.Dental Health and Pension Plans Employee Savings Plan, attractive Vacation and Vacation Bonus Plan We offer a life in a small modern city which has new spacious schools, a wide choice of housing, year round recreation activities, and modern shopping centres Requirements — Minimum 22 years of age.preferably married, ability to pass a company pre-employment examination, have a solid work history, and understand the English language.Our employment representative will he pleased to discuss with you and your wife the opportunities available with The International Nickel Company of Canada.Limited — Thompson.Manitoba Interviews will be conducted at the Canada Manpower Centre in Sherbrooke — 437 King St.E.on February 11.12, 13.14 and 15,1974 inco THE INTERNATIONAL NICKEL COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED Manitoba Division.Thompson Manitoba 5a.Houses For Sale 8.Cars for Sale LENNOXVILLE Verv attractive 1967 Bl'ICK SPECIAI 4 d«»or sedan in bungalow 2 bedrooms garage, well treed good condition For further details 8 00 lot.beautiful view Asking 20.000 Badeau am 11 00 am & 6 30 9 00 p m .tel A Sons Reg 569-7375 or 843 765.3 562 1495 DODGE VAN 1967 deluxe bodv with side 8 windows pnvatelv owned very clean with f iir« fnr ^«le low mileage Excellent condition Would • l,ar> IUI be good for a camper Tel 838 4218 1970 CHEVELLE.4 door, automatic.18.000 miles Phone 838 4701 SEE OR CALL DON MARTIN, c-o Martin -
