40.vill phase out its assortments and stvles — even sellmc thp farilitioc anH thpir tprminatirm in aH- nlnvpes serving G The T Eaton Company Limited will phase out its C atalogue operations during 1976.after the current catalogues have expired and the balance of the inventory has been sold It is estimated that this will occur about the end of May In addition to the regular 1975 Fall and Winter Catalogue which is still in the market, the new 1976 Winter Sale as well as the Spring and Summer Catalogues have just been issued and two new books will be issued later in the Spring The decision to discontinue Catalogue operations was made with greatest reluctance and only after it had become clear that there was no practical alternative For a number of years Eaton s Catalogue operations have been unprofitable — for example in 1974 alone net operating losses exceeded $17 million The Company cannot continue to sustain losses of this magnitude without risk to its principal business, department stores, and the jobs of its more than 40,000 employees The high costs of creating and producing catalogue hooks, the dependency on costly distribution and transportation services, and the market demand for greater variety in fashion assortments and styles — together with easier access to shopping centres and increased competition from the growing number of retail stores in traditional catalogue markets — have been factors contributing to the poor financial performance of the Catalogue In recent years pressures on Eaton's Catalogue business have been intensified by increasing costs of advertising and promotion media, rapidly increasing wage and salary levels in all parts of the economy, and interruption in supplies and services Although significant investments have been made by the Company in facilities and systems and vigorous efforts have been put forth by the management and staff directly associated with the Catalogue, the financial result has continued to worsen Over the past two years studies and discussion have focussed on alternative forms of operations for the Catalogue.A detailed examination was made on a joint basis with J.C.Penney of the feasibility of operating the Catalogue in combination with a chain of stores.The possibilities of engaging in other part- nership arrangements or even selling the facilities and business were explored with other substan’ial Canadian and U S companies Other alternatives included limited regional operations, modified catalogue book programs and a variety of merchandise assortments Many of these alternatives would have required large amounts of risk capital and none produced a practical alternative We are deeply concerned about the loss of employment and dislocation for Catalogue employees and other Eaton staff associated with our Catalogue operations, particularly those with long service.Where there are vacancies and individuals have the required qualifications, employees will be transferred to other Eaton operations However, these opportunities will be limited Approximately 4,500 people on our regular staff will have to find new jobs.A further 4,500 who are employed part-time will be affected.Special provisions have been made for employees whose jobs will be terminated Employees with three or more months service will receive sixteen Battling over a name MONTREAL (CP) - A small but tenacious Montreal jeweller is battling a multinational firm over use of the name “Cartier'' and is not about to be vanquished The antagonist is the renowned Cartier Inc of New York—jeweller of the rich and famous The company, which was founded in 1909 and has stores in Paris, London.Palm Beach.Fla., Cannes, Geneva, Tokyo and Hong Kong, is unhappy with a small Montreal jewelry shop called Bijouterie (’artier de Montreal Inc The Montreal store has been owned by Mardoche Rouimi since 1967.Mr Rouimi said that a few months ago he received a letter on behalf of the New York-based Cartier Inc.from the Montreal law firm of Ogilvy, Cope, Porteous.Montgomery, Renault, Clarke and Kirkpatrick asking him to stop using the name Cartier Mr Rouimi refused The Montreal law firm has refused comment on the dispute but Cartier’s legal counsel in New York, James Bikoff, said: “It’s not that we re going after a small businessman; after all we re not a giant corporation POLICE NAME “What we try to do is to po lice the use of the name ('artier all over the world “Our only purpose in Montreal store be removed, besides protecting our rights and reputation, is to avoid problems of confusion on the part of the public.” Mr Bikoff said the New York-based Cartier would be willing to compensate Mr.Rouimi for inconvenience and expense involved in changing the name of the Montreal store.Mr.Rouimi, who came to Canada from Morocco in 1966, does not want to change the name of his business.He said that the name Bijouterie Cartier de Montreal Inc.was incorporated about 20 years ago by Alphonse Danis, who opened the firm’s first store in Montreal, but at a different location than the existing one.In 1966, Mr.Danis and Mr.Rouimi formed a brief partnership A year later Mr Rouimi became sole owner of the jewelry store and moved the business to its present location OWNER SURPRISED’ Mr.Rouimi said he was surprised to receive the letter from the New York company's lawyers.“My first reaction was that they are crazy They are not normal.The name has been in existence for possibly 20 years and when I bought the store in 1967 the name came with it,” he said.“The name Cartier doesn’t asking that the name of the mean anything tome.I have Accuses Ford of standing-pat “Third of all, the desire to see the private sector expand.particularly via incentives.may be laudatory hut.I think, totally impossible of being passed by Congress ” UNAWARE OF FACTS Heller said Ford “showed very little consciousness of the fact that there are effectively between nine and 10 million unemployed, including about 900,000 who are discouraged workers and three million part-time workers who want to work full time, or of the fact that about $150 to $175 billion of human capacity is going to waste each year ” He also said the only surprises in the speech were the tax breaks proposed for common stockholders and businessmen who invest in high unemployment areas “It was the old trickle-down approach,” said Heller “Except for one passing reference, nothing about public-service jobs or pinpointed help to state and local governments to create jobs Manpower programs-that was all missing “ worked in the jewelry trade since 1951 beginning in Rabat, Morocco.Good prices, hard work and knowledge are the things that bring me customers.“The name of my store is Bijouterie Cartier de Montreal and it’s a matter of principle not to give it up,” he said ‘‘After all, the name Cartier belongs to Canada because it was Jacques Cartier who discovered what is now Montreal.” WANT TO KNOW HOW TO LIE DOWN ON THE JOB?BE A+BLOOD DONOR weeks advance notice of their termination In ad dition, those with one or more years of service will be paid severance pay based on their years of service with the Company This severance benefit alone will cost the Company approximately $13 million Pension privileges will be retained and all accrued pension entitlements are fully funded Early retirement provisions have been improved Those eligible for early retirement will receive employee purchase allowances for life and Group Life Insurance on a diminishing balance over ten years For employees not eligible for early retirement, Group Life Insurance will be extended six months from the date of termination and sickness income coverage will be extended also without cost to the individual These employees will continue to receive their special allowance on personal purchases until December 31st, 1976.Arrangements have been made for personal interviews with all affected employees and we will be working with Canada Manpower to assist them in obtaining other employment.Suppliers of Catalogue merchandise and services will also be affected by this decision We appreciate the loyal support they have given and the close business relationships that exist.We will be working closely with them to explore the possibilities for using their products and services in our Department Store operations The decision to discontinue our Catalogues will undoubtedly affect the shopping habits of Eaton customers who have shopped from our Catalogues and who have dealt with the Company for many years.In many localities there are conveniently accessible Eaton Department Stores.The Eaton guarantee, and product warranties on all Catalogue purchases will be honored and repair services provided through specified Eaton stores or authorized local service organizations Over the past six years, the Company has opened 21 new Department Stores.At the present time more than 60 per cent of Canadian shoppers live within thirty minutes driving time of an Eaton store There are now 62 stores and 40,000 employees serving Canadians from coast-to-coast in our stores We plan to continue to replace or renovate older “downtown” stores in major cities and to open new stores where opportunities occur We will continue to emphasize merchandise of quality and value selected to meet the preferences of the many different markets we serve across Canada The Company will continue to be the largest single Department Store organization in Canada with store sales totalling more than $1 billion annually.vWe are proud of our tradition and the Eaton guarantee ‘‘Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded ” It will continue to be the cornerstone of our business and in dealings with our customers We recognize our corporate responsibilities as a Canadian-owned Company and appreciate the purchases of our customers and the trust they place in Eaton’s As Canada’s largest national Department Store organization, we

the Union message as “kind of a stand-pat, marking-time program’’ with few surprises and as “a lot of truisms, a great deal of flagwaving and damn few critical facts.” The first description came from Prof Walter Heller of the University of Minnesota, who headed the Council of Economic Advisers in the Kennedy and Johnson ad ministrations; the second from Pierre Rinfret, economic adviser to Richard Nixon in his 1968 and 1972 campaigns Rinfret called Ford’s speech “a case study in contradictions ” “The president called for less government, then proceeded to expand on the need for more government in almost every vital section,” he said “Second of all, it was extm^ly noticeable for the omission of a very key fact, namely the size of the deficit for 1977 & D SAVE ON INCOME TAX IfAppiNESS

cancer-causing pollutants was found this summer for the first time in wildlife, in herring gulls living near Lake Ontario, a government scientist said Tuesday.This, explained David Peakall, chief of the toxic chemicals section of the Canadian Wildlife Service, is one step higher in the food chain, bringing cancer-causing agents ever closer to man The food chain is the sequence of animals which prey on other animals for food He said officials from the Canadian Wildlife Service now are studying Lake Ontario perch and coho salmon to see if the fish, which are eaten by gulls and humans, contain appreciable levels of the carcinogenic pollutants.The pollutants in the gulls mainly were deposited in the Great Lakes by industrial concerns, Mr Peakall said.One family of them, poly-nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is released in the processing and use of petrochemicals, including use in automobiles.The other family is organo-chlorines such as DDT, which was widely used as a pesticide and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), once widely used but now limited to use as a coolant in electrical transformers.Among common items in which PCBs were used were paints, adhesives and printing inks Organochlorines of this type are hard to break down and experts estimate they may stay in the environment as long as 500 years Now' hydrocarbons seem to be longer-lasting than previously though, Dr Peakall said He said cancer had not been found in the gulls, which were caught last summer near Kingston, but several had birth defects such as crossed beaks jaws do not fit and they can’t eat — and splayed legs These defects may have Sleigh ride planned ROCK ISLAND (IH> The Boundary Chamber of Commerce first event of the new year and newly-organized Chamber will be on Saturday, Jan 24 when a

president of the Eastern Townships Forestry Association Inc The ETFA organizes many activities touching those students interested in forestry conservation with the financial aid of the Magog School Commission The ETF'A hopes that other school boards will follow Magog's lead as the first school commission to encourage the work of forestry education done by the ETFA, a press release states been caused by the pollutants.Dr Peakall said chemicals which cause cancer often cause birth defects as well “I don’t think the presence of PAHs is overly significant for wildlife,” he said.“But I think that it’s a major potential hazard for human health ” “If the PAHs are found in the fish, then we have a carcinogen in potential human food,’’ he said Dr Peakall said that among the 14 hydrocarbons found in the gulls five were know n to cause cancer in test animals and may cause it in humans One.benzapyrene, which is strongly carcinogenic and found in air pollution and cigarette smoke, already have been called a causative factor in lung cancer by medical research In addition to the 14 different types of PAHs found in the fat of the gulls were 15 types of organochlorine Treasure hunt rally

School Board Contract Negotiations.I wish also to congratulate Mr Castle, Chairman of the AGRGS School Committee, for the able manner in which he The miracle of water into wine at Cana some two milleniums ago is known to all of us.However, we are not of the opinion our premier has super natural powers.Both projects have been plagued with rising costs far exceeding budget predictions and there is no assurance they will cease to soar.Events at the James Bay site two years ago pinpointed the unrest and inner conflict between unions striving to control the Quebec construction industry with anarchy and arson adding countless millions to the costs there.Adrienne Clarkson, on last week's edition of "the fifth estate," clearly pointed out the laissez faire attitude of some Quebec industrialists towards Olympic costs.As well, patent technocrats and bureaucrats also have their hands out in hopes of lining their nests at the public's expense.With such attitudes prevailing how can Premier Bourassa obtain funds to cover the visions of James Bay and the 1976 Olympiad without resorting to increased taxation.Ottawa has made it plain in the past they will not assist in funding the games.To do so would alienate the Trudeau government from the rest of Canada, and the prime minister is in an already precarious position with his remarks concerning the non workability of the free enterprise system.Western Canada and the Maritimes are more concerned with increased freight rates than they are in paying off a second dream of Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau.The increasing outcry in Quebec demanding the Olympic Games be opened by someone other than Queen Elizabeth is further alienating the rest of Canada toward both the games and the province.Whether or not some self described Quebec 'patriot' will attempt to attain notoriety by an attempt on the life of He.Majesty is problematical at this point.However, such an action would raise a hue and cry from the rest of the nation demanding Quebec be placed under federal tutelage until a degree of sanity is restored here.Patronage, as it is practiced here, is a clear indication of incompetence in government.This lack has been displayed by both Quebec and the City of Montreal in the planning and preparation for the games, admitting that Quebec stepped in to save face.The degree of patronage under Premier Bourassa can only lead us to believe former Premiers Duplessis and Taschereau must be turning pinwheels in their respective graves through sheer envy of the audacity of the present government.Visions are the things dreams are made of.However, there is no substitute for hard cash when it comes to paying bills.It will be highly interesting to see exactly how Mr.Bourassa will manage to fund his projects without in creasing taxes, and without any assistance from Ottawa.JOHN McCAGHEY I Ml MM KKK« M »M RECORD v- J Only English Daily in the Eastern Townships SUBSCRIPTION RATES Published by Eastern Townships Publishing Co Ltd P 0 Box 1200 -
