by Bruce Porter ) OTTAW A (CP i - The government has rejected textile industry appeals for strong protection against competing imports, calling instead for more efficiency and innovation A statement issued Thursday by Alastair Gillespie, minister of industry, trade and commerce, said the government will seek to renew and extend existing export-restraint agreements with supplying countries It also will monitor a w ide range of basic imports to watch for violations of restraint arrangements.But the government turnea down pleas from the industry for urgent restrictions on imports, including quotas, higher tariffs and import surtaxes.The industry has reacted angrily, an official said The industry, located mainly in the eastern townships of Quebec and southeastern Ontario, appealed for help late last year in the latest of a series of pleas for protection against lower-cost imports of basic fabrics, yarns and some finished products.When operating at capacity, the industry department says, the Quebec* and Ontario factories employ about 200,000 persons But unemployment in such places as Cornwall.Ont., and Granby, Que—mainly one-industry communities—is running as high as 25 per cent in current hard times, the department says.Six primary textile products and one range of finished textiles—sheets and pillowcases— are involved in the decision The ruling on sheets and pillowcases will have the effect of dismantling existing restraints against imports from nine Asiatic and East European coun tries.The six basic products involved are polyester and nylon fabrics, doubleknits, polyestercotton, worsteds and polyester yarns They are the most-used primary textiles for all kinds of clothing and for automobile interiors Protection was sought in a series of hearings starting late last year before the textile and clothing board, a body set up five years ago to advise the government on policy designed to improve the industry On nylon, polyester, doubleknit and worsted fabrics, the board recommended and the government agreed to seek a renew al and extension of existing restraint agreements with exporting countries, especially in Asia AGREEMENT SOUGHT The government will seek new agreements for restraints— in effect, voluntary quotas— with Taiwan on nylon and polyester and with Hong Kong on polyester To step up surveillance of such imports and guard against violations of restraint agreements, the government said importers of polyesters and nylons will require certificates proving country of origin for imports On polyester yarn, the textile board recommended a tariff surtax but the government rejected the idea Imports supply about 30 per cent of the polyester yarn market in Canada, with West Germany and the United States the top two suppliers The government announcement said imports will be watched closely, subject to surveillance on the import control list, but the surtax idea was put aside for further study In the market for polyestercottons, the board blamed low demand on widespread market disruptions and the general economic slowdown.The government said it watch import trends will Asbestos Mining Association claims report is incomplete Bill to stabilize farm incomes MONTREAL - The analysis made on the CBC program “As It Happens" on March 3 of statistics originating from a preliminary partial and incomplete report on a study on chrysotile asbestos miners in Thetford Mines by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, has provoked surprise in all quarters, a Quebec Asbestos Mining Association press release stated yesterday.It is not possible at this time to comment on these statistics, since the New York scientific study, partially subsidized by the CNTU has not been made public, nor is it yet completed According to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the CNTU in Thetford Mines, it is only a preliminary and partial report on X-ray changes, not on diseases for the thousand workers with more than 20 years service.The report does not take into consideration factors such as pulmonary functions and dust exposures.Moreover, in New York, no one has drawn any conclusions from such preliminary figures so far as the health of workers in Thetford is concerned, a release continues.up lo now, only the reporters from “As It Happens" have taken it upon themselves to analyse these incomplete statistics, it says.Epidemiological studies into the health of chrysotile asbestos workers have been undertaken by McGill University since 1966 Based on a study of 11,788 workers, the overall mortality rate was lower than expected for the population of the Province of Quebec.The findings were borne out by the conclusions of similar chrysotile worker health studies in Italy and in the USSR The Canadian study was undertaken with the agreement and cooperation of the unions and the complete results released to all orties, the release states.The Quebec Asbestos Mining Association will be available for comments as soon as the complete CNTU study has been made public, it concludes.OTTAWA (CP) — Amid growing appeals that it legislate an end to strikes affecting grain exports, Parliament continued Thursday to plow through a bill designed to stabilize a wide range of agricultural incomes.The bill, likely to get Commons approval in principle today, would amend the Agriculture Stabilization Act and compensate farmers hit by poor crops or depressed markets.They would receive at least 90 per cent of their average income for the previous five years if markets went sour It would affect cattle, hogs, sheep, oats, industrial milk and cream, corn, soyabeans and barley produced outside the designated wheat board area that includes the Prairies and part of British Colum bia The opposition continues to criticize the bill as nothing more than rewording of the existing act, passed about 16 years ago and considered outdated.Meanwhile, the latest in a series of strikes that have tied up grain exports for 3‘2 months out of the last seven dragged on.FORCES SETTLEMENT Parliament had to legislate an end to a grain handlers strike that began Aug 1 and lasted six weeks That was followed by a strike by federally-employed primary products inspectors, which include grain inspectors It ended after a mediator was ap pointed Involved in the current W’est Coast tie-up are 4,000 longshoremen and about 200 grain weighers, the latter included in the 18,600 Whelan blasts ‘rip-off price of fertilizers Trudeau assures Italy door remains open for immigrants ROME (CP) — An assurance that Italian immigrants still are welcome in Canada was given Thursday by Prime Minister Trudeau to his Italian counterpart, Aldo Moro.A Canadian spokesman said the comment was made during a two-hour meeting between the two government leaders in which Moro expressed some concern about Canada’s immigration policy.However, Trudeau’s assurance apparently satisfied Moro and the immigration question did not become the issue that some officials expected it to be in the talks.Some 3.5 per cent of Canada’s population is of Italian descent and the newly-instituted Ottawa review of immigration policy is reported to concern the government here which already faces unemployment problems compounded by the possible return of Italians working in other European countries with growing unemployment.OTTAWA (CP) Agriculture Minister Eugene W'helan blasted fertilizer manufacturers Thursday for more than doubling their prices in the past two years.Mr.Whelan invited himself to the annual convention of the Canadian Fertilizer Institute here and warned manufacturers that the “rip-off price" they are charging “is not going to be tolerated within Canada.’’ In a hastily-prepared speech, Mr Whelan said government studies revealed that the manufacturers could produce fertilizers, important elements in assisting crop production, for about $142 a ton and still re- ceive a 20-per-cent return on investment.Yet the current price is $200 a ton with pressure from the manufacturers for further increases, he said.Mr.Whelan, who marched from the conference room as soon as he finished his speech, had not been invited to attend the meeting.He asked for and received time to talk to the delegates.REFERS TO LETTERS “It’s time to level with each other,” he said “I’ve been watching fertilizer prices and I’ve been getting a lot of mail.“You won’t like what I think about today’s prices and you will not be proud of are Inside today BIRTHS & DEATHS 12 CLASSIFIED 10 COMICS 11 EDITORIALS 4 FAMILY 6 Israel says terrorist raid aimed to sabotage peace talk FARMING &GARDENING FINANCIAL SPORTS TELEVISION Today's Chuckle There is one way to protect against crime.Go to a karate school and stay there.TEL AVIV (AP) - Israeli officials charged today that the Palestinian terrorist raid on a Tel Aviv hotel was an attempt to discredit Egypt and sabotage the latest peace mission by U S.State Secretary Henry Kissinger The Israeli state radio said the ship that brought the eight guerrillas and their two rubber attack boats to a point off Tel Aviv came from the north, presumably meaning from Lebanon.However, the only guerrilla who survived told interrogators that the terror squad set out from Egypt; one of the landing boats was marked Egyptian Army Seamen.“Kissinger’s mission will fail” was painted on the other one “The attack was aimed as much against Egypt as it was against Israel." Defence Minister Shimon Peres said The Israeli navy captured the 150-ton mother ship and its eight crew members off the coast early Thursday.But the military command said it would release no information about the ship until questioning of the crew was completed The guerrilla command in Beirut said the raiders were members of Al Fatah, the largest Palestine guerrilla organization It is headed by Yasir Arafat, the chief of the over-all Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).the charges farmers making in these letters.” Mi .Whelan said eastern farmers now pay $70 per ton more for ammonium nitrate and ammonium phosphate than western farmers while three years ago they paid $5 to $10 per ton less.He said there was “no way” that transportation costs could eat up the $70 difference and that the cost of natural gas, a big factor in fertilizer production, could account for only $15 of the difference.Fertilizer manufacturers cooperated with the government last fall in cutting back on lucrative export sales to ensure adequate domestic supplies, but now the inequity appears to be in prices, he said.FEARS DEMAND DROP “A fair profit is one thing, excessive profit is another,” Mr Whelan said He said government figures on fertilizer production costs included the full current inflation rate He expressed concern about talk within the industry of even higher prices.The increases have already been reflected in reduced sales, he said The industry forecast sales increases of 12 per cent in Western Canada and 10 per cent in Eastern Canada a year ago.Sales remained steady in the West and dropped in the East, he said.Revolving strikes disrupt services ® i|7S 6y N6* " Can t we make our program a little more complicated — too many people might understand it!" Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) in the Atlantic provinces planned to walk out today at all major airports affected by bad weather and to set up pickets at the Halifax post office and a number of defence department buildings in Nova Scotia And the Canadian Wheat Board said Thursday it will halt shipments from grain elevators throughout Canada starting tonight because of a huge backlog of unloaded rail cars at West Coast ports caused by strikes by grain samplers and weighers As revolving strikes by PSAC members continued to disrupt services across the country Thursday, union members and various groups said it is up to the federal government to settle with the 18.600 federal blue-collar workers who began strikes last Feb 10 The PSAC wants average pay increase of 37 per cent over two years The federal treasury board has offered only 26 1 per cent over the same period CALLED INTOLERABLE Charles Munro, chairman of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said in a telegram to Acting Prime Minister Mitchell Sharp that it is “absolutely intolerable that a small number of workers should be allowed to tie up Canada's grain exports and cause serious losses to Canadian farmers and the economy in general and also deter the shipment of food to starving people " Gordon Harrold, president of the Alberta Wheat Pool, said at a news conference in Calgary that the federal government should take immediate action, including emergency legislation if necessary, to end the strikes Mr Sharp said in the Commons he does not think threat of action by Parliament will help settle the strikes The government's policy is support of collective bargaining, he said LONGSHOREMEN STRIKE Grain shipments to Thunder Bay, Ont., and Vancouver have been halted since Feb 17 when weigh-men and samplers went on strike About 4,000 longshoremen at West Coast ports also started walked off the job last Sunday in another dispute A spokesman for the wheat board said in Winnipeg that 22.000 boxcars full of grain sit idle at ports Meanwhile, strikes disrupted mail service Thursday in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver Air service returned to almost normal at Toronto International Airport when runway workers, who walked out before midnight Wednesday night during a snowstorm, went back to their jobs 4 p.m Thursday striking general labor and trades (GLTs) employed by the federal government.However, concern was ex pressed Thursday that Canada’s export markets will suffer irreparable harm if shipments do not begin moving soon But the government remained unreceptive to suggestions of intervention, preferring to let collective bargaining take its course.“I do not think it would help to settle this strike if we threaten action by Parliament,” said acting Prime Minister Mitchell Sharp.DEMANDS ACTION Mr Sharp was responding to opposition calls for action as well as to pleas from the (Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA), the Alberta Wheat Pool and the Country Elevators Association Charles Munro, president of the CFA, said in a telegram to the government : “It is absolutely intolerable that a small number of workers .should be allowed to tie up Canada’s grain exports and cause serious losses to Canadian farmers and the economy in general and also deter the shipment of food to starving people.” The wheat pool, at a news conference in Calgary, said the gram industry faces a grave crisis because “our reputation as a reliable supplier has been seriously damaged.” Quebec in focus Captain released QUEBEC Labor Minister Jean Cournoyer admitted Thursday the government’s impotence" against the Quebec construction industry 's chronic labor strife and suggested the Quebec justice department had some responsibility to police the industry Testifying before the royal commission inquiry into construction union freedoms.Mr Cournoyer recited a history of the Quebec construction industry 's troubles The inter-union rivalry underlying the current violence, he said, has existed for at least 40 years I thought it was understood the commisssion was established because there was some deficiency in the government's ability to command respect for the law.he said Judge Robert Cliche, chairman of the inquiry, replied by questioning the point of his commission making recommendations if the government isn't strong enough to impose them Defe n ds Ur a pea u MONTREAL (CP) A lawyer representing Mayor Jean Drapeau said in municipal court Thursday that charges that the mayor voted illegally at a city council meeting should be thrown out Lawyer Gerard Beaupre said the much-amended city charter, which dates back to 1832.does not state that the violation of two clauses cited in the charges is an offence Therese

proof could be divided into two sections — direct and indirect He said the only w itness to the actual commission of the crime was the nine-year-old victim, and as she was not sworn when she testified the crown had to have corroborative proof, which he suggested had not been done.Mr Massicotte cited testimony by Dr Robert Norton and said there was no conclusive evidence of penetration.He then stressed the length of his client’s interrogation by the Granby police: “A total of eight hours to obtain a declaration which contains five questions and answers.There are ways of obtaining declarations without resorting to physical violence.’’ ‘‘Since there was no direct proof of penetration I suggest my client be given the benefit of the doubt and acquitted.His evidence must be given equal weight to that of the victim, and the crown has not proved corroboration of the victim’s testimony.” Crown prosecutor Claude Noiseux agreed with the defence lawyer concerning the tender age of the victim.However, he added: “There is direct proof of corroboration when the police saw the accused with the victim in a wood behind the Shefford General Hospital prior to his fleeing the scene of the crime.“The accused said he was urinating.However, there are other witnesses who heard the child crying and complaining of pain in her pelvic area, and the testimony of Dr.Norton who said the victim had been ‘violently attacked’.This was corroborated by the statement made by the accused.“I have never seen a young person testify so clearly.She required no prompting and did not seek assistance from her mother who was in the court.In contrast the statements made by the defendant were utterly unbelievable.He never gave such declarations to the police, and I feel they were dreamed up while he was awaiting his preliminary hearing and trial.“If you have any doubts on the degree of penetration the accused must then be found guilty of attempted rape,” Mr.Noiseux concluded Mr.Massicotte, in rebuttal, said: “If the crown suggests ARMURIER DE SHERBROOKE Corner Kennedy and King E.Bourget Stereo Building (819)565-8644 Sales & ¦ Service for Fire-Arms l Revolvers-Pistols

be found guilty of rape ” Judge Gerard Normandm said he had had ample time to study the depositions and to verify jurisprudence “There is proof before me he dragged or induced the victim into the woods through promises He was there when the police arrived and later captured Witnesses heard the girl crying and she had been violently attacked in the genital area “After reflection I found it impossible to believe the testimony of the accused who said he bought 50 pounds of marijuana near Granby and sent a nine-year-old girl to get it If he truly had been urinating the victim would not have suffered “I had only one doubt, the degree of penetration, and I concluded I could not find him guilty of rape He is, however, guilty of attempted rape ’’ Mr.Massicotte then made a motion for a pre-sentence psychiatric report and suggested the accused be sent to the Pinel Institution for the Criminally Insane.“I know he will receive a prison term.However, I feel the interests of justice would be well served with such a report.” Mr.Noiseux said he could not object to the suggestion of the defence.Judge Normandin remanded sentence to May 22, and recommended the accused be sent to Pinel.The maximum penalty for attempted rape is 10 years.+ 4- + Roger Loiselle.an inmate at the Cowansville Institution, who was earlier found guilty of attempted indecent assault on two boys under the age of 14, in Cowansville, July 23, 1974, was sentenced to two months consecutive to any sentence he is currently serving Crown attorney Claude Noiseux asked for a three month term of imprisonment.Legal Aid Lawyer Gilles Foussard told the court his client had lost all his ‘good time’ and would be imprisoned until the termination of his sentence in August this year.“There was no violence and I feel any sentence rendered must consider the plight of the accused I suggest the term imposed be concurrent, however, if the court decides to add additional time it be of short duration.” Judge Normandin told Loiselle had he been found guilty of indecent assault he would have been in jail for another year.4- 4" 4" Judge Bernard Legare sentenced Jean Guy Royer, 20, of Waterloo, to one year in jail, in Sessions Court here this week.Royer had pleaded guilty to two counts of breaking and entering dwellings, and had been detained in preventative detention since January 20.Crown prosecutor Claude Noiseux told the court the charges involved a total of four counts of burglary and the accused was on a peace bond when the crimes were committed.He cited stiff sentences have deterred the number of burglaries in private dwellings in the District of Bedford, and asked the court to impose another exemplary sentence.Royer’s lawyer, Gilles Poussard, of the Granby Legal Aid Office, said a long term might prove detrimental to society and suggested his client be sentenced to three or four months at the Waterloo Correctional Institution then placed on probation following his release.Judge Legare ordered one year’s probation from the time of Royer’s release, and told him: “If you violate the terms of this probation order you have just opened the doors to a penitentiary sentence.” 4- 4" 4- Sentence in the case of Henri Paul Rodrigue, See Courts on Page 12 CORRECTION HONEY DEW DRINK RADIO-DAY — The Lennox ville Optimist Club is raising funds to buy a

Dev*.»r and a Dixville Home staff member.( Record photo by George Stedman ) Optimist Club holding campaign for Dixville Home dental clinic DIXVILLE (GS) - The Dixville Home for retarded and emotionally disturbed children has been in operation for 16 years It now has 118 patients and is the subject of this year’s Lennoxville Optimist Club charity campaign.The Club is holding a radio-day on CKTS to raise funds to buy a complete dental clinic for the Home During the day of April 9 the Club will be asking for pledges from the public and hopes to be able to raise $10,000 The Director-General of the Home, Mr John Visser, was enthusiastic about the Club’s efforts as the Home must rely on public contributions to continue its program.While being interviewed for the campaign, Mr.Visser said that the dental clinic “would fill a great need.” A dental clinic on the premises would make it easier for the patients to receive dental care.Waiting would be eliminated and the staff would be available.Instead of the children leaving the Home to go to the dentist, the dentist would come to the Home In the period leading up to April 9, tapes of conversations with some of the children and some of the Club’s members will be played on CKTS.On the day itself people will be asked to pledge money to the Home.A car w ill be sent out to pick up the pledge and the Dixville Home will issue a receipt Ads will be sold to merchants and businessmen and this money will also be used to help the Home Most of the patients at the Home are there for life Mr.Visser said that the Dixville Home is an attempt to get away from the “mass care” institution that exceptional children are usually sent to The training program takes ten years at which time the patient may leave to join society.Patients range in age from eight months to 48 years but most are young children The Lennoxville Optimist Club has organized several other campaigns in the past Last year money for sports equipment for the children at the Home was raised The Club has also contributed to building the Lennoxville swimming pool as well as sponsoring numerous children’s sports teams Ian Savage, Chairman of the Club’s radio-day, outlined the importance of this campaign to the Home; “They depend on organizations like ours ” In the words of Louise, a patient at the Home: “Will you please help the club this year?” Police chief resigns ROCK ISLAND SJ 0440 FASHIONED HANDBAGS for SPRING | 4>^-V\ OF ‘75 i Plus the latest Styles in LUGGAGE A1 SPECIAL PRICES Plus a vast selection of Canadianna & Imported Gifts

STEVENSON Associate Editor LENO DONNELL Directors: Conrad M Black, F David Radier, Peter G White Tel 569 9525 Union Moderation While Canadian — and British — unions demand new pay increases in the range of 30 per cent and over, the huge German metal and engineering workers’ union, I.G.Metall, has settled for a wage increase of 6.8 per cent.This is about 0.2 per cent below the current inflation rate, the union sharing the government’s expectation that German inflation will drop below the seven per cent figure.Indeed, it has been forecast that real income in Germany wil’ go up by two per cent this year, whereas real income in North America will drop by one ™ Letters to the Editor How does one escape pollution?To the Editor: It was with deep interest and concern that I read the two letters in the “Record” on Friday, Feb 28, regarding the spraying of weed killers along the Quebec Central Railway right-of-way in the Beebe area.We experienced the same situation several years ago in the State of Colorado, U.S.A., where we resided for 15 years before moving here 2 years ago.One of the main reasons we moved to this sparsely-populated region of Canada was because we did not want to live and rear our sons in the atmosphere of environmental pollution that was on the increase there, even though the climate there is much sunnier and milder in winter, and even though our income has been reduced more than half by moving here.Now we must defend our way of life because where can one go to escape environmental pollution by industrialized society?The letter of the Vegetation Control Service is necessarily defensive in that the service people earn their living controlling unwanted plant growth; thus the writer fails to give any information regarding the cautionary labels on the herbicides they are using It has been several years since I last used a weed killer (2-4-D I believe it was) and decided it did more harm that good — that I would rather have both birds and dandelions and good digestion than none of the three —- but I do remember in general the words of caution on the can which stated to the effect that the substance could cause mutations or skin growths and not to let it come in contact with the skin or breathe the fumes.A mutation is “a sudden variation in some inheritable characteristic of an in- < i dividual animal or plant, as distinguished from a variation resulting from generations of gradual change.” ‘Webster’s New' World Dictionary).These mutations may not appear for years in the case of a tumor or cancer, and if the chemical comes in contact with the reproductive cells, the next generation!s) may even be affected Thus weed killers can be put in the same class as radioactive materials.Just because the government approves the use of a product according to directions does not mean the public can rely on the safety of the product Witness the change in policy concerning chlorinated hydro-carbons (DDT, etc.), radium in watch dial paint, etc.Many government decisions are influenced by economics, big business, and tradition.The government has no way of knowing the long term adverse effects of these chemicals.After all, these chemicals have been used as herbicides only a couple of decades.One should remember that nearly all mutations that ocçur in nature are harmful Most aren’t noticed because the reproductive cells affected are sterile or abort early if fertilized One wonders if this is the best way of controlling human population growth?I know from personal experience that herbicides have an immediate adverse effect on my digestive system.If an area has been sprayed with weed killer once that season, I suffer digestive problems every time I go near the sprayed area the rest of the season You can imagine what life w ould be like for such people to have to live in a sprayed area.Here are simple and economical alternatives to herbicide use along railroad rights-of-way.W’ith the unemployment so high and tax dollars being spent to provide recreation so that young people will have something to do, it seems like some alternatives could be worked out to pay idle people to help control un- per cent.The metal workers’ settlement comes after a similar agreement made between the federal government and the civil service union, which recently agreed to a wage boost of no more than six per cent.These are the two key German labor settlements.The chemical workers, considered somewhat militant — in German teyns — are still to negotiate their new pay rates.However, it is unlikely that they will succeed in obtaining any better terms, particularly since the German chemical industry has been badly hit by the world slump and, moreover, is paying heavy taxes as part of the national fight against pollution.Chancellor Schmidt has thus earned a new feather in his stabilization cap.He has no “social contract” that is the empty boast of the British Labor government, nor was he forced to institute any price and wage controls.Prices have been going down in Germany of their own accord, largely because of the strong position of the German mark.Productivity remains high both because of the industriousness of the German worker and because German industry has invested so heavily over the years that each worker’s output can reduce the effect of higher wages.Most companies have been willing to accept lower profits, a trend that reflects the current tendency towards greater equality in the country.* * ?However, what counts more than any other single factor is the reasonable attitude of the German union leadership that is scared of pay-packets stuffed with worthless money.The unions know that this is not the time for strikes, and they recognize the narrow limits in the private sector of the economy for wage increases and the danger to their own jobs should these limits be exceeded.The metal union opened the negotiations in the fail with a demand for an 11 per cent wage raise.Alter four months of negotiations it has been satisfied with three-fifths of its original demand.The German television service had every reason to remark: “Where in the entire world do labor unions behave so reasonably?” Where indeed?Undoubtedly, the German worker is better off than many of his counterparts elsewhere.When times were good his wages went up and so did his fringe benefits.Nor does Germany know the crushing taxation that stifles all initiative, taxation that exists both in Britain and in Canada.The raises go into the worker’s pockets, not into the spendthrift treasuries that then waste the money on their various harebrained schemes.In all too many Western countries it is the tax collector who benefits most from inflationary wage settlements.Those who receive a whacking increase of pay to keep up with spiralling inflation soon find that a good part of the increase is lost in taxation, the workers are no better off, the cost of production rises because of the higher cost x>f wages, prices rise, while governments surfeited with easy money spend it under the maxim of easy come easy go.This is not the case in Germany, the only Western country where a reasonable co-operation between labor, management and government has kept inflation at bay — as much as this is possible with the present oil prices and the disease raging everywhere else.One wonders whether it will really require a Latin American type of inflation to make the decisive segments of our society amenable to reason.* WINNIPEG FREE PRESS I MF sHKRBK hamburger stand than an interplanetar) spacecraft.LOOKING MORE like a 21st

in Alberta Chit-Chat Club At the termination of the games, refreshments were EDMONTON (CP) — Nick Taylor’s friends can’t understand why the 47-year-old Calgary oil man w ould prefer the uncertainties of provincial politics to the prestige and mobility of international business “It drives them nuts because we used to holiday in Fiji and have a flat in Geneva to ski in Switzerland—the type of life everybody dreams about,” said the Alberta Liberal party leader.“They wonder why I’d want to confine myself to Alberta, and chances are—let’s face it—get beat around the ears.' Then, sounding slightly ironic coming from a man who has been defeated twice in federal elections and whose party has not had a seat in the provincial legislature in five years, he quoted: “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.“In other words, you have to be trying or you’re not living I have nothing but contempt for many people who have done well in society or business who either take no part in politics or run over to kiss the hand of the winner-mugwumps.I call them.” Mr Taylor, who said he hopes his party can win six seats in the March 26 provincial election, is not too modest to suggest that he has an ideal background to be an eventual premier of Alberta, where agriculture and energy form the basis of the economy.He was bom in 1927 on a farm near Bow Island, in southern Alberta, graduating from University of Alberta 22 years later with a degree in mining geology and engineering.He became interested in provincial politics when, after talking with business associates in Tokyo and Frankfurt about urban problems in those areas, “the industrial thing got me off.” “Albertans do not want wall-to-wall factories and smokestacks, they do not want the Calgary-Edmonton corridor to look like Hamilton, Pittsburgh or the Ruhr Valley.” URGES FOREIGN AID Agriculture should be a chief economic pillar in the province, followed by service industries and tourism Money should be spent in Third World projects that would “supply research, design and administrative jobs back in Alberta.” Mr.Taylor, who became party leader in March, 1974, said he hopes to appeal to “people who aren’t obsessed with an increase in the gross national product as the only measure of wealth” but who also value human qualities.“So often liberals—with a small i —aren’t kind, you know, they’re addicted to an idea but quite often they’re not very nice They talk and sound right but lack a little humanity.“I think both (United States Senator) Barry Goldwater and (former Alberta premier) William Aberhart, although considered to be right-wing, had a great deal of humanity.Wilson and Trudeau have a good deal of liberal thinking but humanity doesn’t ooze out.’’ Mr.Taylor and his wife Peggi, a former teacher, have nine children.They enjoy skiing and sailing in their leisure time.EDMONTON (CPI — If the opposition parties had been watching carefully and knew what to look for.they might have been able to tell when Peter Lougheed planned to call an election They didn't know that about three months before the Valentine's Day election call, the former football player opened his personal training camp in preparation for the rigors of Alberta’s first winter election campaign in 35 years He always stays in shape, but this was war Running a mile a day.running the government and running the campaign for the March 25 provincial general election, the bouncy 46 year-old is described by associates as always “super-organized and super-motivated ” “Physically I feel great,” Mr Lougheed said in an interview “I think we’ve got the campaign well organized W’e’ve got the candidates in the field We’ve got the organizational people, most of whom were with us in 1971.” No longer does he have to bound up to people on main street with the once-familiar line: “Hi! I’m Peter Lougheed.” NOW WELL KNOWN Now they know who he is.In 10 years he has moved from the almost-unknown leader of the Progressive Conservatives.who lacked even a single legislature seat, to a government leader described privately by officials of all three opposition parties as likely to gain a landslide elec tion victory He captured 49 seats in 1971 in ousting Social Credit from 36 years in power When the election was called this time the Conservatives had the same number while Social Credit had 24 seats, the New Democratic Party one and there was one independent Despite his situation.Mr Lougheed is not without doubts He points to Quebec with which Alberta has developed a special relationship because both provinces have been fighting for provincial rights He recalls that when the Liberal administration of Jean Lesage came to power in Quebec in 1960 “they made a large number of changes and they perhaps moved too fast for the citizens and were defeated in 1966 by the very government they defeated in 1960 ” STAYS IN WEST Mr Lougheed w ants to stay in Alberta, not try to succeed Robert Stanfield as national Conservative leader This would go against some basic political beliefs, he said “Frankly, I think that a strong provincial government, such as in Alberta, more than anything in terms of western development can ensure that this part of the country is given its full opportunity in the future “If you’re involved in the national scene, you’re obliged to make compromises across the board.” So the five-foot-eight former “Now we were successful in 1971 partly because our opposition was complacent.” he said “I don’t propose to have our candidates defeated by the very reason we won office.” The premier said he can take the rigors of politics and elections but conceded that it is hard on his young family He has four children PREFERS HOME “So there are times, sure, when I would prefer that 1 could stay home and didn’t have to pick up a huge brief case on Sunday morning or Saturday morning but could spend more time with my family ” The premier’s campaign is already scheduled right to the end with special provision for Mr Lougheed’s disposition towards working in the morning.“I’m a morning person I do my best thinking in the morning and certainly my best reading Then I tend to tail off late at night." Accordingly, none of his appearances are scheduled to last much past 10:30 p m Then, if the meeting is outside of Edmonton or Calgary, he will probably climb into the back seat of a car and sleep his way home He likes to get 6l2 to seven hours sleep a night but said: “I’m trained enough in this business that if I’m stretched, 1 can stretch myself.” BEEBE — Mrs Elsie Bronson assisted by Mrs Madge

border is not often filled.“It is an indication that the people are healthy.” he said during a winter visit to the northern territories.But Chief Henry Beaver of the Fort Smith Indian band sees it differently.“The people are afraid.” said the chief Suspicion, he said, often keeps older Indians away from government doctors.“Maybe they had a bad experience with the government in the past and want nothing to do with the government doctor,” he said.“Or if they know that a doctor is not too good and they don’t trust him, they are going to say: ‘To hell with the doctor, I'd rather die at home.”’ Chief Beaver said there now are three federally-employed doctors in Fort Smith “and when they are off duty, they are off duty.” “If you get sick and call up after five, they ask why you didn’t go to the clinic when it was open.“Our body systems are not built like clocks.We can’t set them so that nothing goes wrong before eight in the morning or after five at night “At night when they have the nurses working in the hospital, they lock the doors.They are afraid of people coming in and beating them jp or something.” HOUSING IS CONCERN The young, soft-spoken Indian leader, who was elected chief last summer, was concerned that Mr.Lalonde was seeing only one aspect of life here during his first tour of northern health facilities.“If the minister had more time, I would like to show him some housing, the stuff that the people are living in.” Mr.Lalonde’s tour did not include inspection of any housing, although native leaders in most of the settlements he visited said poor accommodation is a major contributing factor to native ill health Jim Antoine, 25-year-old chief of the Fort Simpson band, expressed similar sentiments.“Life in Simpson isn’t very pleasant for the native people,” he said.“The whites live one way in their fancy, subsidized housing and the native people live another way.” Chief Antoine said the band council wants native representation on the staff of the 12-bed hospital in his community.“We are the majority and yet there are no native people on the staff of the hospital.The feeling is really uneasy.“We want them (the whites) to recognize the difference between native and white society and respect that difference.” HELD MEETING Chief Antoine chuckled after Mr.Lalonde’s meeting in Fort Simpson with band members and the hospital staff.“It looked like we were all old friends, sitting there socializing and all.I had never met the head nurse until today.” Dr.F.J.Covill, director of federal health services in the Northwest Territories, shrugged off suggestions that some native people are suspicious of government doctors.Dr.Lamb Vitamin E won’t cure scar By Lawrence E.Lamb.M.D.DEAR DR LAMB - Almost a year ago my son was bitten by a dog on the side of his face He was just a baby then and I was told by different people it would clear within a few months, and if I would put vitamin E on it.it would disappear The bite marks are still there in the form of the pit holes for each toothmark Vitamin E hasn't seemed to help Would you tell me if vitamin E really works for this type of thing and if the pits in his face will ever surface0 I don t mind scars, but the pit holes really look bad DEAR READER - There are some enthusiastic reports about vitamin E and scars and other skin problems In some cases skin conditions related to a dry skin are helped because the vitamin E is in an oil base The oily preparation acts as a skin moisturizer This will soften some scars but you can get the same results from any good lubricant Don’t expect vitamin E.or the lubricant it may be dissolved in.to do anything for the scars and pits from the dog bite on your boy’s face You should see a good plastic surgeon He can no doubt remove the more obvious scars and correct the pit holes that you are worried about He can judge, from seeing your boy.the best time to do the procedure The danger of expecting miracles from vitamin E is that it will lull a person into failing to get proper treatment when it is most effective for a medical problem In short, false hope can be harmful In this case though.I would guess your boy is young enough that you can get maximum benefit from good plastic surgery with good results DEAR DR LAMB — In your column you pointed out that ground beef might be ground in the same grinder as pork, which must be well cooked to prevent trichinosis You suggested that it is better to buy beef and grind it at home, presumably to eat raw However, you said that all meat, including beef, should be properly cooked Does this mean that very rare beef could be injurious0 DEAR READER — I must reluctantly agree that all meat should be well cooked and do not endorse eating raw meat, including beef You can more safely eat beef that is cooked, but still slightly pink than you can pork The reason is that pork has to be cooked until there is no pink color to be sure the trichinosis is killed Trichinosis is not a problem in beef and cooking to medium is usually safe I would be concerned about “very rare” beef ?afore4t> 1360.Conseil.Sherbrooke, Que.562-4751 Builders, you can help

it This year, it was the part of January in the film version of the late Jacqueline Susanns novel, “Once Is Not Enough " The girl who got it was Deborah Raffin.a tall, slender blonde with a face like a spring breeze You may have seen her in “40 Carats” or The Dove.” in which she did admirably Now “Once Is Not Enough” should make her one of the top young actresses in town Deborah Raffin is a Los Angeles girl, the daughter of an actress (Trudy Marshall) who quit acting to marry a man named Phillip Raffin, who was in the meat business Deborah says her mother may be resuming her career She had small parts in both The Dove” and • Once Is Not Enough.” Deborah grew up thinking idly of acting some day but it was more of a fantasy than anything else.But.when she was a teen-ager an agent spotted her and talked her into turning the fantasy into a reality She is enjoying acting but says it’s hard for her to find ‘‘meaningful” parts ‘‘Most parts for girls in my age bracket,” says the 21-year-old, ‘ are trash ” To avoid trash, she had it put in her “Once Is Not Enough” contract that she would not do a nude scene nor would she permit anyone to double a nude scene for her ‘‘They tried to get me to do one anyhow,” she says, ‘‘but I refused I would do one if I felt it was vital to the story but this wasn’t.I feel imagination is far more provocative.” After the filming was completed producer Howard Koch came to her and said he agreed DEBORAH RAFFIN: “Most parts .are trash.” with her.The scene they wanted her to do nude has her bare-shouldered — and you can use your imagination for the rest of it She says she’s not worried about the impact of stardom on her life.“My family and my husband (record producer Michael Viner) will keep me from getting a big head.” she says.“As for money, that doesn't bother me, either — I’ve always had everything I wanted ” If you want a lesson in the fine art of acting, see one of this season s American Film Theater offerings.Jean Genet s “The Maids “ Glenda Jackson.Susannah York and Vivien Merchant are amazing, both separately and in ensemble Robert Enders, who produced it and co-wrote the screenplay with director Christopher Miles, has signed Miss Jackson for his next film.Henrik Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabier.” It’s a sign that movies are now ready to do some important things and that there is more to cinema today than

Landon and the real-life character of Charles Ingalls which he plays on the NBC series.Little House on the Prairie “Ingalls had a beard in real life.'

Landon says.The problem is the books were short and over four years — I think we can run four years — we ll need more than 100 stories So we have to invent some "This year, for example.I was sick with meningitis encephalitis for two weeks.I was wrapped in ice That made me think of the show we did about a typhus epidemic.’’ There are plenty of chances for story ideas cropping up in Landon's own home Someday, somebody (probably Mike) will write a story about the Landons and The Big House in the City.There are really three families living at the Landons Mike has two adopted sons by his first marriage His wife.Lynn, has a daughter by her first marriage Together.Mike and Lynn have three, with a fourth — “and last’’ — due soon.W’hat makes the three families even more interesting is that each represents a different religion Mike's two ' '¦ MICHAEL LANDON Can turn to his own menage sons were raised in the Jewish faith Lynn's daughter was raised as a Roman Catholic.Together, their three are Presbyterian.It really doesn’t matter what religion they are.Mike says If you stick to the letter of religion they're all good ” Landon's long years on Bonanza developed him not only as an actor but as a writer and director and now he’s producing as well.He says he is “slowly working ' on a novel He's written many screenplays but has not sold them "I think they are good,” he says."I’ve torn up the ones I didn’t like so I have to believe the fault is with those who don't like them ' Eventually, he'll sell one It’s not exactly a goal because he gets enough satisfaction writing his TV shows but it is something yet to be fulfilled He says he really has no great ambition at this point "Oh.yes.I guess I have one ambition." he says I'd like to play tennis better."

RKNTS I BUT VO Driver demerit system shows no mercy Driver-demerit systems in the nine pro .incts which use them seem to vary like the drivers.Transport department officials in Quebec described a revised system which took effect last Saturday as a “no mercy” measure.The system, which means a three-month loss of a permit for the driver who accumulates 12 demerit points in a year, would seem merciless to drivers in some provinces and kind to others.Newfoundland has no demerit system but in Nova Scotia, a driver’s licence is automatically suspended for six months when 10 points are accumulated.After six points, drivers in Nova Scotia are called in by the registrar of motor vehicles for a driver improvement examination Four points are deducted for drivers who pass Under the Quebec system, drivers who accumulate nine points may be ordered to take a driving-ability test, attend a driver’s school or have their licence suspended one month.In Prince Edward Island, the demerit system is based on a loss instead of gain of points.Drivers start with 12 points when they receive their licence and points are deducted for offences The licence is taken away when a driver has no points.LOSES FOB IMPAIRMENT All points are lost for impaired driving in Prince Edward Island.The licence is returned at renewal time or held for a time set at judicial discretion.In Quebec, drivers who register more than .08 milligrams of alcohol in their blood or who refuse to submit to a breath test are liable for nine points.Drivers in New Brunswick start with four points when they receive their licence and two points a year are added until drivers have 10 points After a loss of seven points, drivers may be called in for interviews or tests and licences are suspended for three months

causing death or bodily harm by criminal negligence or failing to stop at the scene of an accident.In Ontario, a driver’s licence is suspended for 30 days when 15 points are accumulated.As in Quebec, when the maximum number of points are collected for a second time within a year, the suspension period is six months.Ontario drivers' licences automatically are suspended after a conviction of drunken driving when drivers register more than .08 milligrams of alcohol in their blood LETTER SENT A warning letter is sent to Ontario drivers after accumulation of six points and drivers are interviewed after nine points are collected.Manitoba drivers’ licences also are automatically suspended when drivers are convicted of having more than .08 milligrams of alcohol in their blood.Newport, Vermont
