other oltices across C anada Whelon: Says drastic action may be needed on eggs % OTTAWA «CP» — Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan said Wednesday he will have to take drastic action if the farm products marketing council and the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency i CEM A » do not shape up However answering a Commons question from James McGrath (PC—St John s East», he did not say what kind of action he expects from the two bodies Mr McGrath, saying that two provinces have given notice of their withdrawal from CEM A.asked if the government intends to disband the controversial agency The Conservative consumer affairs spokesman also asked if Mr Whelan is satisfied that CEM has disposed of current egg surpluses and that it has production under control Was the agency in a position to enforce quota production across the country 0 Mr Wrhelan.sidestepping the questions, said CEM A must have the full co-operation of provincial marketing boards to do these things.“Until thev have this authority, they willlnot be able to achieve the kind of operation we all desire thev should have WOULD TAKE OVER0 Before accepting the responsibility and blame for this agency, he would insist on it having the central authority to report to me The chairman of the farm products markting council was visiting provincial marketing boards with this goal in mind Newfoundland recently joined British Columbia in announcing planned withdrawal from CEMA The national agency first got into hot water last summer when it had to destroy 28 million eggs that went rotten because of faulty storage In the first two weeks of this year, it accumulated a 40-million egg surplus, but CEMA said it has disposed successfully of the eggs Mr Whelan, while not expressing disbelief, has said he wants some proof that the surplus has been taken care of Denies pool gift at construction inquiry MONTREAL (CP) - An industrialist denied before a government inquiry Wednesday that a swimming pool installed in the back yard of a union leader in 1973 was a gift to insure increased worker productivity at a building site.Gilles Longpre.president of BBV Construction Co., told the royal commission on construction freedoms he had never made any gifts to obtain greater productivity from elevator workers who were stalling construction of a senior citizens residence However.Denis Goulet, former eastern Canada manager of Armor Elevator Canada Ltd .testified Longpre had spoken of a gift after being advised by Goulet to see J Warner Baxter, business manager of an elevator union local, about low productivity.After several meetings between members of Longre's staff and Baxter, Longpre said he had made a gift of a pool to someone.Goulet testified Sobbing uncontrollably and vowing to tell the truth despite threats and harassment.Goulet said productivity on the site had improved considerably by May.1973.from its level in late 1972 It was about May.1973.he told the inquiry, he noticed the pool while visiting Baxter.43.business manager of Local 89 of the International Union of Elevator Constructors Longpre said he did not speak English and did not understand the meaning of “gift” which Goulet had noted on a piece of paper after the two men met Pierre Quiobion.the contractor who installed the pool, testified he had received a telephone call from Longpre asking that he charge Baxter a reduced price Baxter's union was placed under trusteeship by iiit Quebec government last July because of illegal work stoppages, violence and sabotage that have plagued the elevator industry since 1972 when elevator constructors were grouped with other construction workers in an industry-wide decree Baxter, fired last Dec 2 by the trustees of the union along with 18 other officers, was hard put to explain why he had to borrow $3.000 from an elevator company owner in January.1974.to buv an $8.000 car Bank records filed in evidence showed he had $25 000 at the time Bernard Kelly, president of Kelly Elevator Co.Ltd.and the man who made the loan to Baxter.said he could not recall where the cash came from No records were kept of the loan or a repayment of $300 The construction inquiry, sitting since last Sept 16 under the chairmanship of Judge Robert Cliche of Quebec- provincial court, is investigating the freedom workers have in joining the union of their choice Inside today BIRTHS & DEATHS CLASSIFIED COMICS EDITORIALS 10 FAMILY 8 FINANCIAL 8 SPORTS .4 TELEVISION 6 2 11-12 .7 Today's Chuckle The biggest problem uith leisure time is ho* to keep other people from using it.© ^’5 Î* SLA lf*c L\1 I A» “That was good for your first time on skis, but I should warn you — there's no hot-doggmg allowed here'" LONG STEP up to this statue of the .Most Blessed Virgin atop a column in Rome’s Piazza DiSpagna is made easier for a fireman using an extended ladder from a fire engine.The fireman placed a bouquet of flowers in the statue’s arm.Olympic deficit down?QUEBEC (CP) -

worsening traffic problem It gets down to psychology, too America n-st y le parking meters are among the newer weapons in the fight to provent Pans from turning into a giant used-car lot The meters seem to bring order out of chaos and they certainly bring money into the treasury The problem is that it is almost impossible to recruit meter maids, without whose firm hand and ball-point pen to enforce traffic regulations, no Frenchman is likely to invest a franc for a half hour of car space Since July, the city government has been trying to hire an additional 200 meter maids to bring the total force to 920.thus permitting expansion of the meters to the Left Bank It is estimated that the meter maids could bring in $12 million in 1975 in parking penalties Of the 200 sought, only 13 women have signed on As public service jobs go in this country, that of a Pans meter maid is better than many The pay is $90 a week, part-time work is permitted and you are not tied to a desk or factory' work bench When the meter maids were first formed three years ago.the prefecture required a certificate of good morality.Now they simply accept anyone who has not been in prison .Another advantage, the uniform is supplied free And perhaps that is where the trouble lies — the uniform, or.more precisely, its color The design of the tunic, skirt or slacks and cap is as smart as that of any airline hostess Its color is wine Bordeaux one might say More accurately, it is the shade of an eggplant And the wearers are referred to universally and irreverantly as the “Aubergines" — the “eggplants.” It seems that few Paris women appreciate being called by the name of that plump vegetable and this appears to be the only explanation for the sluggish recruitment, even as national unemployment figures appear headed for the million mark As bad as the situation is and as frustrated as they are.city officials count themselves lucky that an earlier nickname for the eggplants failed to take hold When the corps was first organized.Parisians referred to them as “the red ants.“ It is unlikely that their official designation will ever become popularized — “contractual lady affecting the surveillance of parking meters.“ « NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN Hollywood-bound Neil Simon bids Broadway a calm good-bye By Ellie Grossman NEW YORK - (NEA) - Go ahead Be nice to a playwright Give him an unequaled run of hits on Broadway — one a year for 14 years.Laugh at his jokes, smile at his ingenuity, bask in his compassion for the human condition.And what is he doing0 Selling his elegant townhouse in the East Sixties and moving wife, two daughters — even his mother — to California That's gratitude for you Neil Simon, of course, doesn't see it that way.He doesn’t feel he’s abandoning the audience that has come to rely on him for surcease from New York in particular, and life in general.He needs some surcease himself.“After fourteen years and fourteen plays,” he says, “I get the feeling I’m doing the same thing with my life.’’ Writing basically for the same audience and the same critics.Worrying about their reactions.And finding it increasingly difficult, after 14 years, to “think of unexplored areas” to write about for the stage.“I wouldn’t want to go through it again for anything next year,” he says So it’s off to movieland.to write for larger, younger audiences; to work with his wife, actress Marsha Mason (‘The screenplay after next will be for her, called ‘Clark Gable Slept Here' ”); and to “live in a warmer climate A safer one9 No,” he says firmly in his mild way, “there is no such thing ” That’s it.That’s why it’s difficult to accept this pleasant, unassuming, moonfaced man — as the life behind characters who honk neurotically and explode with life’s exasperations He seems able too confront reality and come away intact No nervous tics.No hysteria Hardly the creator of a Felix Unger or a Joe Benjamin, the main character in Simon’s latest, and possibly last.play.“God’s Favorite ” Joe is Simon's version of Job.a millionaire manufacturer who refuses to renounce God NEIL SIMON: Opportunities are up for grabs.and gets hit with everything bursitis, gout, tennis elbow and the usual flood, famine and havoc “What did I mean by the play?It took me a whole play to say it.” Simon smiles.“In a way, I become everybody when I write a play, so I was the leading character who put up with everything because of his faith in God I was the wife who wanted him to give up I wras God’s messenger who just wanted to get his job done We all go through some of those attitudes “But I meant.I think, exactly what Walter Kerr said in his review that sometimes you have to point up how preposterous things are when we take them so seriously.” A thoughtful, family man who wears glasses and speaks with a New York accent.Simon likes to sketch and do water colors (“I love to do scenes of old New York buildings”), likes to read biographies because the lives of people — Joey Gallo and Truman, for instance — fascinate me,” likes to watch sports and old movies on television ( More care goes into the making of a movie so it's more satisfying than a situtation comedy”), and loves to write “I like being able to go upstairs to my study and spend four or five hours working I never find it a lonely business like some writers.But then he spent 10 years collaborating with other writers on television shows, so the isolation is understandably gratifying So is the polishing He’s a craftsman who only stops rewriting because he has to.“When I go into rehearsal with a script,” he says, “it’s sixty per cent of what will get on the stage You can’t rewrite forever, and a play’s finished because it’s opened I know from past experience that it’s never going to be right Occasionally, Simon speaks at colleges (“The word ‘lecture’ frightens me.” he says, cringing "It’s just question and answer periods”), and what he passes on to young playwrights is basically the lay of the land “I tell them about the pitfalls and the joys Those who want it badly enough will push aside the pitfalls I was discouraged a great deal in the beginning by the business.” he says.But my older brother Danny’s encouragement was enormous He told me I had talent so often that I gradually believed it And when I started having some success.I said well, there's something to work with.” Another truth suddenly comes to mind “You know,” he says, “there are a lot of people who don’t really want things I don’t mean success or material things Relationships, or health, for example If you want to be healthy, you will be.’ The opportunities, despite what anybody says, are always there “Nothing comes your way.” he says “It goes by and you have to reach out and grab it NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN Rituals mixed in Rhodesia SALISBURY.Rhodesia (CP) — The search for religion is as varied as man.but perhaps no where more so than in Rhodesia, where new African churches often mix Christian and pagan rituals There are many so-called independent African churches often having such picturesque names as the Amapostolo The Apostles) and the Amaprofiti The Prophets) Most of these movements have two things in common They are purely African and thev meet in the open air.in an amphitheatre of boulders or merelv under a large tree in the bush One church is

way.of being a gadfly, to contradict the society, to be in the conscience of the society.” The church will never be active enough, maintained Archbishop MacNeil.a firm believer in the co-operative movement One of the great faults that could be laid at the door of the church is that we are not strongly opposed to some of the things that are happening in society When 1 say church.I don t mean just the bishop and pastors.I mean all the people who are church members ” Archbishop MacNeil likes to involve others in decisionmaking It’s been much easier to share decision-making since the Second Vatican Council when the bishops spent so much time with the Pope discussing all kinds of pastoral decisions From that council it was suggested that in every diocese there would be that kind of procedure “It isn’t an easy thing to work out since we have the structures of the past ” There were some matters that can t be decided by vot- mg “You can’t sit down and de cide by a vote whether there is a God or not “So the question is how do you have some sort of demo cratic procedure so we can in fact sit down and say do we need a new church building or do we need a new course in theology or do we need a new program for the ill people All of these things which are very important can be discussed at all kinds of lev •Is Archbishop MacNeil said the ecumenical movement is not dead “If we don’t hear as much about ecumenism now it’s simply because it’s no longer the favorite of the press It was like everything else when it was new It was kind of a favorite for a lot of people to talk about ecumenism and getting together and going to each other's church and having an ecumenical service “That’s when it was all new and kind of wonderful Supporters of ecumenism hit the crunch” long before the talk ever got around to church union “The crunch came in things like having social action projects together A lot of people agreed to that, but a lot said no.that’s not where the church should be “It became even more difficult when we said we have to probe into the theology of ecumenism should we have a common communal service, can we really have a common ministry That began to touch at the nerve-centre of not so much theology and doctrine as it did at the faith of the individual and what makes the faith of one individual a little bit different than the faith of an individual next door Despite the roadblocks, that doesn't mean we quit or have to stop “It simply means with more prayer and study this must continue, because if we are faithful to the gospel message.we must continue

have to make time for yourself no matter how busy you are If he’s pressed hard enough, the archbishop will recount his encounter with Casey Stengel, the crusty manager of the New York Yankees in the

the same is very decisive “However,” he said, “we also know they have their importance when they pay the employees, the secretariat expenses On Dec.13, Mr.Bourassa announced that the government had decided to propose to the commission a stuay on the new offers on financing He said the MNA from Terrebonne would shortly indicate the new modalities that the party intends to submit now' to the members of the committee, and the National Assembly, then, in the coming months will adopt a law coinciding, which will permit all the Quebec political parties enough time to know the changes, so they can plan their finances for future elections and to make the necessary arrangements to insure adequate funds “1 think this is justice for all,” said Mr.Bourassa, “it takes effect on us now , and this is what the government is proposing to you “The major principles of the propositions that we are submitting today is inspired from the recommendations of the Barbeau Report the 1966 resolution of our party ' 1 — A commission to control political finances will be created 2 — Imperative limits will be fixed on the amount of each contribution to a party or candidate can receive or that a person,

will be e stablished.4 — Measures for publication are seen 5 — Sanctions would be imposed on whoever infringes on the law Mr Bourassa went on to say that electoral strongholds are a thing of the past
