Residents of this small community 50 miles northeast of Montreal began cleanup operations early today following a double tornado early Thursday evening that killed at least three persons and injured 45 other Heavy equipment and civil protection personnel worked through the night to clear debris and it was reported early today that fallen trees blocking roads had been cleared Mayor Jean-Paul Pepin said early today he estimates damages to his town at between SI12 million and $2 million and he plans to approach the Quebec government for assistance in rebuilding.The three victims have been identified as Mrs.Denise St.Laurent, 32, and her twin children Patricia and Patrice, both two months, killed when the mobile home they were in w as hurled into the air by the tornado.The first tornado hit the town of 1,000 about 6:30 p m.EDT and lasted until about 6:45 p m Another twister passed over the town again about 15 minutes later.Quebec Provincial Police (QPP) had earlier reported 15 persons were killed and 75 injured in the storm but they revised those figures after further investigations.The early figures, they said, were based on information from townspeople.The storm destroyed between 75 and 100 structures, including the local Roman Catholic church, the rectory, the town’s water tower and a school.Witnesses said the path of the storm was five miles long by V^-mile wide and the village’s main street section was almost totally destroyed MOST HOMES HIT Most homes and barns in the rural town were also heavily damaged or destroyed and one source reported only three homes were left undamaged About 300 people were left homeless in the disaster and some were put up at a nearby monastery while others went to stay with relatives.Work crews from Hydro-Quebec and Bell Telephone began early today to restore services to the town.All communications, power and gas in the village were cut off almost immediately after the storm began The nearby town of St.David also got some of the storm but no details were yet available as to the extent of damages.One resident here, Etienne Labonte, said she had just started her family’s supper when the storm hit “I had just put my steaks on when everything started to go crazy,” she said “Then my cousin came screaming into my house yelling her house had been destroyed “The air was full of debris Trees were falling everywhere.M Thursday’s storm is the third, and worst, tornado to have hit Quebec in the last two months.In the Lac St.Jean area, 100 miles north of Quebec City, a tornado caused damages June 24 estimated at $1.4 million Earlier in June, a tornado struck St.Remi, 20 miles south of Montreal, injuring four people and causing damages of between $500,000 and $1 million.W y , :: « 1 Placed 'in sick' Apollo astronauts splash down ¦S' sgff ABOARD USS NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The three astronauts were placed in sick bay aboard this recovery ship as a “precautionary measure’’ after their return to earth Thursday because of a yellow gas they were exposed to aboard their space ship during re-entry.Astronauts Thom a?Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald Slayton splashed down at 5:20 p m.EDT, 330 miles west of Pearl Harbor “Everything went great,’’ Stafford said.“It was a great ending to the Apollo project.” However, the astronauts later reported a “yellow gas and odor that caused a burning of the eyes” inside their space cabin as it descended towards earth.Doctors said an examination did not show any medical problem but no chances were being taken.Officials said they suspect the gas was nitrogen tetraoxide, a chemical used as a propellant in the small thrust rocket engines of the Apollo.The astronauts spoke briefly to sailors crowding the deck of this ship when they returned and they appeared to walk without any difficulty.The spacemen enjoyed a steak and lobster dinner and cut a cake decorated with the Apollo-Soyuz flight patch during shipboard ceremonies Thursday night They are looking forward to a flight to Houston, Tex., their Grain sale to USSR concluded by Canada WINNIPEG (CP) Another multi-million-dollar grain sale to the Soviet Union was announced Thursday by the Canadian wheat board, adding to hopes of a banner year for Prairie farmers.The board said it would be delivering one million long tons of durum wheat to the Soviets between November and August, 1976.The sale is valued at roughly $226 million, although the board itself would not place a price tag on the order.The sale follows an announcement last week of a contract for two million long tons of Canadian wheat to the Soviets valued at more than $300 million and major sales of grain by the United States and Australia.Commenting on Thursday’s announcement, A.M.Runciman, president of United Grain Growers, said the sale would have “a very significant effect on the Canadian economy.” The Prairie region has already escaped many of the economic problems facing the rest of Canada, he said, adding: “This is directly attributable to the high grain sales and high grain prices of the last two to three years.” Together, the two Canadian sales to the Soviets are expected to lead to further increases in export wheat prices.Manitoba Pool Elevators President Harold Sneath predicted earlier this month that export prices could eventually rise to $5 or $6 a bushel.Since that time, the Thunder Bay export price for top-grade red spring wheat has risen more than 16 cents a bushel to $4.75*8 Thursday.However, top-grade durum prices have remained relatively unchanged.The significance of the Canadian sales is apparent in light of wheat exports for the current crop year, which ends July 31.In bushel terms, the two Canadian contracts with the Soviet Union call for the delivery of 112 million bushels of wheat in the next crop year—roughly 30 per cent of estimated total Canadian wheat exports this year UN calls for reconsidering cancelled crime conference OTTAWA (CP) — The United Nations Association in Canada called on the federal government Thursday to reconsider its decision to seek postponement of the UN conference on crime In a statement the association said the Canadian decision raises doubts about Canadas continuing commitment to working through the UN on international issues “This action is not easily seen as contributing to the strengthening of the world organization and could seriously damage Canada’s international reputation and credibility.” It said the government should have proceeded with the conference, which was scheduled for Toronto in September, with the proviso that members of the Palestine Liberation Organization ( PLO » known to have personally participated in terrorist activities would be banned from the country Such a decision would have been acceptable to Canadians and “would have avoided placing Canada in its present embarrassing position of.in effect, refusing to host a major UN conference for internal political reasons ” ASKED POSTPONEMENT External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen announced Monday that UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim has been asked to postpone the conference until after this year His announcement came as a climax to a controversy over whether the PLO should be allowed to enter the country to attend the conference Mr MacEachen said the conference would not be a success anywhere in the world this year because international politics are intruding into purely technical conferences He said the PLO may enter Canada on ministerial permits to attend UN meetings and at the invitation of reputable Canadian organizations The UN Association rejected Mr MacEachen’s reason for seeking postponement It said politics have been intruding into these conferences for years and a reunion with families Saturday.It will be at least another four years before US.astronauts again fly into space.They will go in a reflyable rocket, ship.Meanwhile, leaders of the U.S.and Soviet Union hailed the success of Apollo-Soyuz and spoke of future coopère* tive space ventures by the two nations.The cosmonauts, Alexei Leonov and Valeri Kubasov, returned to earth Monday after two days of joint flight with the Americans.They, too, sent their congratulations to Stafford, Brand and Slayton.President Ford telephoned the astronauts minutes after they were recovered and taken aboard the Nev^ Orleans.He told them:1 “Your flight adds a new dimension, that of international co-operation.The new docking system offers a foundation on which to build future cooperative efforts, and in the next decade a very valuable tool for space rescue.” Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev messaged Ford that the flight was “an important milestone in cooperation between the U S S R and the U S A in exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes ” Back in Houston, the families of the three space travellers celebrated with tears and champagne after watching the successful splashdown on television “It’s still the same old tense splashdown,” said Faye Stafford, whose husband has been in space four times.“This is great This is the best part of the whole mission.” Marjory Slayton toasted the success with a glass of champagne and admitted she “cried a bit” on splashdown.Joan Brand carted champagne into an office where she works, invited anyone who wanted to come and said: “I think the splashdown was even better than the launch ” : * m LEAVING COURT — Conrad Blanchet leads his wife Lena down the steps at the Sherbrooke Court House yesterday morning after she testified at the preliminary hearing of her alleged kidnappers, Fernand and Jean-Marc Beland.( Record photo by Robert MacPherson > Beland brothers sent to trial for kidnapping SHERBROOKE (RM) The trial by jury of Fernand and Jean-Marc Beland,

QPF officers found her was dark, Mrs Blanchet said, with both the door and the window firmly locked During the first night.Mrs Blanchet said, she was unable to sleep “At midnight, my guard was asked if I was asleep When I said I was not, he gave me some pills.” Mrs Blanchet said she regularly received medication during the kidnapping, probably for her heart condition.Throughout the ordeal, she added, she was treated “politely” by the abductors.When crown prosecutor Pinard finally asked Mrs.Blanchet to identify her guard she indicated across the room to “him, the one in the yellow shirt.” As though he never realized he was being singled out.the man in the yellow shirt, Jean Marc Beland yawned.Defense attorneys Michel Houle and Claude Martin turned down their chance to question Mrs Blanchet after Prosecutor Pinard was finished with his examination Both Jean-Marc, 24, and Fernand, who turned 37 Wednesday, continue to be detained in the Winter Street prison.The Beland brothers have each been charged with one count of kidnapping plus one count of holding a person by force without “legitimate authorization ” If convicted, the two may face sentences of up to life imprisonment

-“I’m just glad to be alive,” a shaken college student said Thursday after a large shark attacked him and then spit him out Robert Rebstock was attacked while scuba diving about an hour after another diver warned him that he had seen a white shark — the people-chewing antagonist in the movie Jaws — in the area off the scenic seaside city of Santa Barbara Rebstock.23.said in a telephone interview from the bed of his Santa Barbara apartment that he had been in the water only a couple of minutes when the shark darted straight up “and my feet went right down his throat.” Jeff Morris, 22, Rebstock’s roommate who was along on the trip in a 16-foot outboard, said, “It came up in a rush with Rob in its mouth, straight up out of the water maybe three feet or so.then it just dropped him and we grabbed him out of the water and took off ” Rebstock was treated Wednesday for lacerations of both legs and puncture wounds of the thigh at Lompoc District Hospital, and then released ALONE IN W ATER Morris said the shark looked about “14 to 18 feet” long Also in the boat were another roommate and Rebstock s brother, Scott, 15 Morris said Rob was the only one in the water when the attack occurred; the others were still getting into their scuba gear The shark struck in about 20 feet of water Morris said the foursome saw a boat in the area where they planned to dive and stopped their outboard to talk “We just asked about diving conditions and so on and this commercial diver said he had just left the water because he had seen a very large white shark and it had circled him and tugged on his fin “We looked at the fin and saw some light scratches, that’s all He was so nonchalant about it all and he was a commercial diver after abalone so we were really skeptical ” Nevertheless.“W’e took the warning seriously We spent at least an hour talking it over Rob didn’t want to dive there, and we moved up the coast “That diver was talking in such low tones, he was just not very convincing,” said Morris “After seeing that thing I don’t think I could talk like that.” Sherbrooke plant hit by minor explosion SHERBROOKE (RM) — Combustion Engineering-Superheater played it

to steadily rising share prices throughout the remainder of the year The firm says a slow economic recovery, with easing inflation, would allow sufficient time for the intervention of a bull market in

chartered bank shares as “the cornerstone of an investment portfolio ” For long-term investment, Royal Bank.Bank of Nova Scotia and Toronto Dominion are favored Oil refining stocks, which have

The key is an electronically encoded vinyl card To open the lock the key is placed within four to six inches of a sensor, usually built into the wall, near the door The sensor sends a message to the central control unit, and if the key is authorized to unlock the door at that particular time, the door opens If not.the door remains locked and an alarm can sound The owner can, if desired, have a

since June, 1974.topping last year’s depressed totals by four per cent, U S automakers reported Wednesday It was the first time this model year that sales in a 10-day period ran ahead of those for the comparable period a year earlier Sales have lagged behind depressed 1974 levels in every period since early September last year Auto executives welcomed the results as a significant sign of steady recovery for the industry, although analysts noted sales in the latest period were overstated somewhat by a contest at Chevrolet But analysts and executives agreed the sales tur naround that began late in the spring is continuing and provides further hope that the industry’s worst slump since the Second World War may be near an end “The log jam of pent up sales demand is beginning to break.” said Bennett Bidwell.vice-president of Ford Motor Co “Industry sales have been running below trend for two years, and the tendency for the market to return to trend is becoming more apparent each month.” The Big Four U S auto companies sold 213.965 cars in eight selling days in the latest 10-day period, compared with 231.070 in nine days a year ago The daily selling rate, from which the industry computes percentage gams or declines, was 26.746.compared with 25.674 last year Analysts noted the mid July tempo was up 13 per cent from mid-June counter to normal seasonal selling patterns

second half are being revised downward and investors should consider profit-taking “in order to release funds for areas commanding more positive ratings.” Similarly, distilling stocks are rated “at best, as hold” and brewing shares, including Carling, Labatt and Molson, must improve “before deserving a buy rating.” The firm says Crush International is the only beverage stock recommended for purchase.Bongard, Leslie suggests that chemical shares be held for sale on strength and steel issues be sold for profits.A reduction in United States steel demand and production has weakened the outlook for the Canadian industry.Algoma, Dofasco and Stelco, the three major producers, are rated as a “source of funds.” For long-term investment, food-processing shares are recommended with George Weston and Canada Packers favored.Trust and loan shares will also prove beneficial on a long-term basis.Although the subindex has underperformed the market this year, trust company shares “should

expenses increased from 43,993,000 to 49,406,000 or 12 per cent Net operating profit of 5 million for the second quarter, traditionally a good quarter, was the highest quarterly-profit in the

in first-half earnings is largely attributable to a combination of improvement in next interest earnings in the company’s money operations, and the continuation of cost control measures started in 1974 New operating profit excludes net losses on investments and provision for losses ( after taxes ) of 578,000 for the 1975 half-year, compared with net losses of 107,000 in the first half of

secure as any manager can be But he may be on the verge of losing his shot at managing a playoff team In other words, it’s a do-or-die weekend for the Dodgers And while a lot of people seem to feel the Dodgers already have one foot in the coffin and can only step out of it by sweeping four games from Cincinnati this weekend.Alston is as unflappable as ever “I feel that we have to win six of our remaining 11 games with the Reds to stand a chance.’’ he blithely an- together against the rest of the teams, it looks like the only way we’re going to get close again is in the head-to-head games with Cincinnati,” said Dodger Steve Garvey “We need to take this series for more than the obvious reason Maybe it can help us get our adrenalin going again.” They got it going Thursday against St.Louis, routing the Cardinals 8-2 But despite the victory, Los Angeles remained a whopping 124 games back of the Reds in the National League West going into this evening’s twi-night doubleheader in Cincinnati The Reds retained their lead by beating New York 2-1 In the rest of the league, Atlanta beat Philadelphia 5-4.Houston edged Montreal 6- and singled twice to back Burt Hooton’s six-hitter that ended the Cardinals five-game winning streak The Reds beat Mets’ ace reliever Tom Seaver for the 16th time in 25 career decisions and the third time in four decisions this year, all that depite the fact that Seaver surpassed the 2,000 strikeout mark in his career, only the 27th pitcher to do so in major league history Seaver gave up what proved to be his downfall in the second inning on

attend meeting Canadians shooting well at Bisley MONTREAL — The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and 19 of the international sports federations will meet in Montreal at and about Olympic Games time in 1976 and bring some 3,500 delegates to the city during July of that year.The Organizing Committee for the 1976 Olympic Games (COJO) will be involved actively in the organization of these meetings, Charles de L.Harwood, director-general of protocol, said when he described some of the functions of his department in the staging of the Games.“Most of the meetings will be taking place in Montreal because of the Games,” Harwood said, “showing once more that the Games are more than a two-week sports event.” The IOC will hold its 78th general session July 13-16, immediately before the opening of the Games, in a midtown hotel.A special press centre large enough to accommodate 250 journalists will be set up in the same hotel.The federations that will be sending delegations to Montreal are: modern pentathlon, basketball, gymnastics, boxing, weightlifting, cycling, shooting, rowing, football, fencing, wrestling, athletics, judo, archery, canoeing, equestrian, hockey, swimming and vollevball.BISLEY, England (CP) -Banker Dave Phillips of Calgary, on the strength of his brilliant long-range shooting, has joined four other Canadians in contention for a place in the

$26,950 Tremont for two- WASHINGTON (AP) — A proposal and a counterproposal were made by the National Football League owners and players union Wednesday during negotiations over a new collect! ve bargaining agreement.No details were made public for either proposal in the llj y—r dispute which led to a strike by the players last summer The union made its offer late Wednesday afternoon after returning to the bargaining table following a review over lunch of the proposal made by the NFL management council, the owners’ agent, in the first joint session in three months “They are now reviewing and studying the offer,” said James F Scarce, deputy year-olds at Belmont Park Ridden by Laffit Pincay Jr, the Kentucky-bred son of Irish Castle ran six furlongs in 1:09 2-5 for his sixth victory He beat 4-to-5 favorite Iron Bit by five lengths Previous stakes mark was 1:09 3-5 set by Fayette in 1908 at the old Gravesend Track HALAS AT HOME CHICAGO (AP) Chicago Bears* owner George Halas, 80, has returned home after a week-long hospital stay.A spokesman said Halas, former head coach of the National Football league team, went home Monday.He was operated on for a hernia director of the federal mediation office under whose auspices the negotia lions are bring held.The two sides had recessed earlier Wednesday after the owners made their offer so that the NFL Players’ Association could study it.“I don’t know what’s in it myself,” said Scarce as the two sides broke for lunch “But we re here to negotiate We purposely picked the time (Wednesday) to allow the parties as long as possible.” “We are going to press as hard as we can,” he said “We think the timing is right.” Ed Garvey, executive director of the players association, had said prior to the Wednesday session that if the owners did not place an offer on the table, the meeting would be a short one.WENT ON STRIKE The players’ union went on strike for 42 days last year over what they called the “freedom issues** but returned and played the 1974 season without a collective bargaining agreement, which expired March 31, 1974.The key to the dispute last year was the so-called Rozelle rule which permits the commissioner to decide compensation after a player moves from one team to another after his option year and the two clubs cannot agree on his worth.The players argue that the Rozelle rule, named for commissioner Pete Rozelle who has had to intervene four times since its 1962 enactment, inhibits free trade The owners say a club needs to be compensated for the investment in the player The players association resubmitted a list of demands to the owners April 4 but omitted a call for the elimination of the Rozelle rule because the union said the issue was before the courts.A 55-day trial with the rule as the main issue was completed in Minneapolis last week However, the owners countered April 17 that all issues, including the Rozelle rule, must be bargained if an agreement is to be reached JOIN THE WET SET a m
