self-financing?QUEBEC (CP) — Jean Drapeau’s statements before a legislature committee looking into the $1 416 billion cost of the recent Olympic Games elicited laughter from his disbelievers, but the Montreal mayor reiterated his belief that the Games can still be self-financing.“If the people are still willing to pay for the Olympics, why deprive them of the opportunity?the mayor asked, sending committee members into fits of laughter Mr Drapeau made it clear he does not accept the general view, shared by the government, that the Games and related income programs generated only $426 million in revenues, leaving a deficit of $995 million Before the sceptical politicians, he reaffirmed his belief in the self-financing of the Olympics.Including proceeds from Quebec’s special Olympics tax on tobacco and the three-year extension of the Olympic lottery in his calculations, Mr.Drapeau said revenues fell short of the costs by only $200 million And rather than accept the $200 million as a deficit, he said he was confident that amount can still be raised through “self-financing” programs.“Let’s roll up our sleeves and go and get that $200 million/’ he said.He showed the same confidence as he did May 10, 1970, in Amsterdam shortly before the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted to grant the Games to Montreal.Mr.Drapeau said then: “We will only spend what is needed to make a success of the Games and not one cent more See me in 1976 and I'll give you a report.” Despite the mayor’s confidence, Premier Robert Bou-rassa announced at the adjournment of the three days of hearings that there will be an investigation into why Games costs rose to $1.416 billion from the original 1973 estimate of $310 million Long closing MONTREAL (CP) — An employer spokesman said Thursday the LG-2 site of the James Bay hydroelectric construction project, shut down this week by a strike, may remain closed until next spring.“If the strike only lasts a week, it wouldn’t be too serious, but if it lasts a month, we’ll probably have to decide to close the site until spring, even if the construction strike eiuit J this fall elsewhere in the province, said Jean-Yves Gagnon of the James Bay Employers Assocation.LG-2 is the largest of 50 construction sites to shut down across the province following strikes begun last week by electricians, carpenters, pile drivers and heavy equipment operators, to pressure employers into making better offers in current contract talks Many other sites are partially affected, particularly by a lack of electricians, while some have been shut down by company lockouts A spokesman for the James Bay Development Corp said the remaining 1,000 employees at LG-2—-the site usually employs about 4,000 workers—were being flown out of the remote northern Quebec area Thursday Work was continuing normally at the smaller LG-3 site, where most of the workers are Hydro-Quebec employees.Robert Boyd, James Bay Energy Corp president, has said the strike at the $16.2 billion project will cost about $8 million a week.OTHERS AFFECTED Some other large sites affected by the walkout—in which 20,000 workers were participating as of Thursday— include the Hercules chemical plant at Varennes and the Quebec Cartier Mining Co.site at Port Cartier, the Association of Building Contractors of Quebec said ( Record Highlights ~j CONTINUING EDI CATION — \

Quebec government, Federation President Yvon Char-bonneau said today.The move brought the QTF, representing 80,000 French-language teachers, and the provincial government a step closer to renewed confrontation this fall, after the teachers violated Quebec’s special back-to-work law last spring The government has said the offers were final and that it would support a Federation of Catholic School Commissions (FCSC) lockout if a contract settlement was not reached by September.Mr.Charbonneau said the 125-member negotiating commission found the offers “unacceptable on the issue of workload and incomplete in many other areas, such as adult education.SEEK \PPROV\L The commission, composed of elected representatives from member unions, will seek approval for its position today from delegates currently attending the federation’s 25th annual convention here, he added.The commission has instructed union negotiators to return to the bargaining table and plans to draw up specific proposals to be presented by the federation to its member unions after receiving more detailed reports Saturday.Earlier.QTF officials said the offers on workload and student-teachers ratios, key stumbling blocks in the talks, were “not the least bit acceptable” for secondary school teachers Although the workload proposals are acceptable for elementary school teachers, the government has offered nothing new in terms of salaries or job security, the officials said The workload issue has stirred controversy at the QTF convention with the membership dividing bet- ween hardliners favoring

700 management nurses at 30 Quebec hospitals will resign en masse next Wednesday if the province does not come up with reasonable wage offers, a union spokesman said Thursday.At a meeting here, 249 out of 260 nurses signed resignation forms and decided to leave *heir posts Sept.1 if a meeting with government officials set for Monday does not produie an adequate wage offer “The vote in Montreal is enough of a majority for us to recommend that everyone resign,’’ union director Joan Porcheron said She added that preliminary results from votes in other parts of the province indicated support of the resignation policy.The nurses, members of United Management Nurses Inc., earn from $2.000 to$5,000 a year less than the regular nurses they supervise.They are asking for a base salary of $16,361 a year, which is the new maximum of regular nurses under recently negotiated agreements.?LOOKING Ol gull takes in T ON \ NEW DAY — This the Magog River scenery from his perch atop a water ski jump i Record photo by Steve Bell ) Dutch monarchy disgraced Raps nurses’ language tests MONTREAL (CP) -English-language nursing school graduates got a “raw deal” this year because they learned four months before their training ended that they had to pass a French-language proficiency test, says a nursing school official.“W’hen they entered school they did not realize they would be faced with language tests after graduation,” said Anna Taylor, head of the nursing department at John Abbott College.“They met all the legal requirements for the course.” Mrs.Taylor said that French is not a required part of the English-language nursing curriculum set by the provincial education department.Basic training for nurses— who are required since July under Quebec’s Official Language Act to show proficiency in French before being licensed— takes three years at the junior college level Specialized nurses require an additional two years after basic training Most spring graduates will take the language tests in September, but there already have been complaints from some of those who failed Quebec Language Board officials said last week 20 of 79 Canadian nurses and 18 of 26 immigrants had failed Nursing schools say there was an effort to add optional French courses to the curriculum after January and that stress was put on a working knowledge of French as related to the nursing

landscapes in watercolor Montrealers like to consider their city a cultural mecca.The> point to the Museum of Fine Arts.Place des Arts.Place des Nations, they mention a dozen or more theatres, countless art galleries, and innumerable movie houses.But vthile Montrealers go to coffee houses \%hich feature jazz or folk artists, while the) take in rock shows at the Forum and while they enjoy first run movies, very few people in Montreal actually paint or act or dance or sing themselves.It was when I moved to the Townships some five years ago that I noticed how culturally active the Townships are.Most families seem to • e a piano tucked in the ner of the living room that gets more than just an occasional use and many homes boast of a few paintings or sketches that are the handiwork of a member of the immediate family .Even small towns have their community theatre groups and people who frequent bars that provide country and western music invariably end up listening to friends or acquaintances if not neighbors.With this in mind I visited a half dozen painters who have made at least a small mark in the world of the arts and who live or work in the Townships.This article is the first in a series.By NICHOL AS FONDA ( Record Reporter) Most of Gordon Pearson s paintings are water colors, or as those a little more sophisticated like to call them, aquarelles With rare exceptions his paintings are landscapes inspired by the rolling hills surrounding his Bishopton home He often depicts the old wood barns that are slowly starting to disappear as the elements do their work indiscriminately on beautiful but unused buildings Although Pearson might at times be accused of wielding a “heavy” brush he is an artist who has mastered his medium and w hose work has a sense of fresh- i irf : 4> \ •*>*'> Sl’B.IECTS — Like many of (iordon Pearson s paintings, this one depicts an old barn and captures the mitigated idness of an aging barn.ness as well as a definite and recognizable mood Born in Montreal 36 years ago.Gordon Pearson has been drawing and sketching “since «he» was a kid ” Two years after graduating from the Canadian School of Com mercial Art he made his way to Europe where he fell in love with Spain and painted a series of water colors which were subsequently shown at the Andrew Skir-ving gallery in England Back in Canada he went to work for an advertising firm in Montreal and during spare time worked on his sketches and water colors which he often sold in Old Montreal After a time he left the firm he’d been working for and went into business for himself as a free lance commercial artist He did a lot of work during this time for architects (which may explain his penchant for barns) and printers Working free lance gave him more time to work on his painting and by 1970 he’d decided to make a break Married and with two children, Gordon and his wife wanted a place in the country to “give the kids a good place to grow up ” “Wre’d been looking in Ontario when we found this place.Neither of us knew the Townships.I don’t think I’d even been in Sherbrooke before that But we found it, liked it and bought it It’s turned out to be a quiet and inspiring place to work.” While the Pearsons love the Townships and they are watching their children ( now’ three in number) grow, life is not entirely a bowl of cherries.“The Townships is a tough place to earn a living as an artist,” said Gordon.“We’ve been here five years and it’s only in the last two years that I’ve been able to dedicate myself full time to painting Last year was pretty lean, my wife worked a bit part time and we made it through the winter on that This year is going much better I had a very successful showing in the spring at the Galerie Artistique and things are looking up Painting for a living isn’t like anything else: there are periods when I’m painting a lot and things are selling well and \RTIST — Gordon Pearson, right and George Fafard,

can’t seem to put anything down on my paper ’’ What would prompt a man to give up a successful career in commercial art and a steady income to try to make a go of it at painting0 “It’s something you’re born with Painting is a need, it’s something I have to do Painting lets me express myself I can see something and capture it.put it down on paper and I feel I’ve done something ” And then, smiling Gordon added, “It’s also dangerous though, art can consume you If it be comes an obsession, it drains you and eventually kills you.” Gordon Pearson enjoys his work, loves it in fact, but he’s not about to let it destroy him He keeps a small garden, spends a lot of time with his family and plays a bit of guitar to keep at least one foot on the ground A second question which intrigued me is why does Gordon Pearson paint in water colors?“It’s true that water colors are not appre ciated in this part of the world You know that 1 once was asked if 1 did any “real paintings”0 But water color is a great medium You have to work fast To paraphrase the American painter, John Pike, I never spend more than 20 years and 2l2 hours on a painting The quickness of it makes it very free and clean, it gives the painting a feeling of lightness that you don’t get with any other medium “ “I do most of my work in the early morning and I like to work outside, on the spot as it were There are a lot of tricks you can use in the studio but when you're out side you can capture the mood, the feeling of the place It's very difficult to get that working inside." Gordon likes to carry a set of paints, a few brushes, some paper and a glass jar with him in his car When he sees a place he likes, he gets water from a nearby stream (“It doesn’t bother me if the water isn’t super clean, a bit of muddy water just adds to the painting”) and starts to work In the winter, when working outside means frozen paint and frostbitten fingers.Gordon lets his car run and.sitting in the warmth of the heater, puts up with the cramped space to paint If you look closely you notice that his winter scenes tend to be a little smaller in size than the sum mer scenes His car doesn’t have enough room for his six foot frame and a 16 inch sheet of paper The Pearsons have sett Uni in the Townships and Gordon is going to succeed or fail as an artist in this area His last show resulted in the sale of a number of paintings to the regional manager of the Caisse Populaire and having his paintings hung in hanks will not hurt him in his efforts to became better known At the same time Gordon is wary of salesmanship in the arts He feels that there is too much of it.too much mtellectualizing.too many people willing to sell junk just to make a buck After years in the commercial art world he finds that in terms of technique, and other quality the fine arts (that is, painting) have nothing on commercial art “When vou look around it becomes impossible to really say why one painting jk worth $10.000 and another $100 People should buy w hat they like and at the same time insist on quality." With this in mind 1 would encourage people to take a look at Gordon Pearson’s work when they come across aquarelles signed “Pearson ” Gordon is currently negotiating for a possible showing sometime this fall, otherwise you can see his work at the Galerie Artistique on King St or at the Galerie Pictorale on Wellington St • festival • Lennoxville SQRIEUX-DE-DEUX By Betty Lambert Aug.26, 28, 29 ".a

acceptance of denims (in 1975, Levi Strauss reported sales of over $1 billion), some menswear manufacturers are taking a gamble this summer They've decided to depart from the safe prescrubbed look and

recently by David Wood, Director of the Continuing Education Division for the District of Bedford Regional School Board, as the time for Adult Education courses to begin draws near Mr Wood is originally from Grenville, Quebec, where he also attended school He went on to Macdonald College where he achieved his Physical Education Specialist’s Diploma and continued his education with night courses at Concordia University which re suited in a B A in a joint major in Education and Geography He has taught in Lake of Two Mountains and at Massey-Vanier Regional High School Mr Wood, who lives in Cowansville, has been w ith the District of Bed ford since 1969, came to the Continuing Education Division in 1973 as Academic Co-Ordinator and then filled the position of Director, in 1975, when former Director James Bissell was promoted Besides his main task of Director of the Division.Mr Wood works on the training programs and co-ordinates the University and CEGEP courses for the night sector Mr Wood told The Record that the division has grown from when it began in 1969 with the arrival of school regionalization in the area In the first year the staff consisted of the Director and a secretary In 1976, at the Cowansville office, there is a full time staff of six, two secretaries, Janet Hall and Linda Biggar, and a Night Surveillant, Bruce Nichols.He went on to say that Con tmuing Education in Quebec grew in relation to the Min is try of Education, becoming more autonomous with a for mal directorate with better control and more interest shown The District of Bed ford Division seemed to grow gradually from 1970 to 1973 and has remained stable since then The Division covers an area approximately of 5,500 square miles and has established a number of centers in various towns These cen ters range from between a minimum of seven to a maximum of 14 They are basically elementary schools or local halls which possess the needed facilities The teaching staff for the Continuing Education courses are recruited from the regular teachers in the day school system except in H> NELSON WYATT specialized areas such as cabinet making and mechanics where people from the outside are brought in •‘Occasionally,*’ said Mr Wood, “people from industry can give a better présenta lion of the course material " At the present time, the regular teachers are without a contract due to the current negotiations, however this has not posed a problem in the past year “Even though the teachers of Adult Education courses are not directly involved, there may lx» some difficulties due to general dissatisfaction with negotiations,” said Mr Wood “Hopefully, a collective agreement will be reached by the time courses start and we begin the bulk of our operation.” The Continuing Education Division is funded provin- Courses packed with information cially and works in close cooperation with Canada Man power Canada Manpower spon sors both the full time and part time vocational courses and recruits students for them Response to the courses has gone well “We basically specialize in a number of areas in the full time courses and give w hat we feel is a high quality program,’’ asserted Mr Wood “There has not been any problem in recruiting for these courses in the past and I don’t foresee any problem for those courses being offered next year.” In stating the objectives of the Division, Mr Wood said that, briefly, it was to serve the educational, and in some cases, the personal needs of the district’s adult population with each pro- gram and course providing a particular service Mr Wood also told of a number of innovations started by the District of Bedford Division “Being a small Board scattered over a large territory, it is often quite difficult to recruit a number of people for the same academic program in any one center We have started self study packages whereby a student could come in and pick up a package consisting of textbooks, course outline, study guide and even some self correcting test items.” Mr Wood continued saying that, “The student would then go home and begin work on the package If he ran into problems, he’d just have to phone in and he would be set up with a meeting with a teacher to help him over his particular hurdles ” “Then when the student felt he was ready, he could come in and write an exam with out the need to go to a center for three hours a week and follow a class structure ” Mr Wood told The Record that the program has proven successful and is being picked up by many other school boards Another innovation were training programs set up for the school administrators and employees Commenting on the repu tation the District of Bedford reportedly has for being one of the more progressive Adult Education Divisions in the province.Mr Wood ere dited it to “a good working atmosphere, good relation ship w ith the local Board and a flexible and interested staff.” 1 I) \VII) WOOD.DBRSK Director of Continuing Education.By NELSON WY \TT LARRY GOYETTK, DBRSB Technical-Vocational Officer “If the student is motivated, he can get all he wants in any of the courses we offer.We do all we can to make every minute count and the more they get out of it the better ” This was expressed in a recent interview with Larry Goyette, Technical-Vocational Officer for the District of Bedford Continuing Education Division The thought was enthusiastically shared by his associate, Bertrand Boivin, “Director du Centre” for the DBRSB Continuing Education Division Mr Boivin, originally from St Jean, attended the Montreal Institute of Technology and then worked for five years in the Brown and Bullry Company in the test department.He taught at the Waterloo Trade School between 1962 and 1969 and then joined the staff at Massey-Vanier

year of serving the population encompassed by the Eastern Townships Regional School Board Mr.Grant is the Director of the Continuing Education ^^vision of the Eastern ^Bwnships Regional School board He is a native of Quebec City where he also received his elementary and secondary education From there, he continued on to Macdonald College where he graduated with a Class Two Teaching Diploma Mr Grant has taught at and was principal of Windsor Mills Elementary School and taught in New Carlisle and Noranda Elementary and High School.He returned to study at Bishop’s University after that and graduated with a B A.in Geography.In 1973, Mr.Grant was appointed Assistant Director of Adult Education and then in 1974, was appointed Director of Continuing Education for the Eastern Townships Regional School Board.The Continuing Education organization at the ETRSB Lennoxville office consists of the Director, two full time professionals-Gordon Bowker who looks after the full time and part time Academic courses and many popular education courses, and Norman Majury, who is responsible for the full time vocational, part time vocational and some popular education courses.There is also a part time professional in the Richmond area, Ellis Clark, who looks after popular education courses in that region, and a secretary.Reine Tello Susan Martine of Richmond has been recently hired by the Adult Education Division of the ETRSB Her function will be to work in the newly established Centre de la Femme due to open up shortly in Sherbrooke DOUGLAS GRANT, ETRSB Continuing Education Director - The ETRSB covers an area of about 6,400 square miles with an approximate Anglophone population of 35,000 dispersed widely across the region.Mr.Grant pointed out that such a wide scattering of the people in the area does present its share of headaches for the Division.“This sort of creates a problem in terms of transportation-in terms of getting people together in one area who are interested in
