The Commons gave first reading Thursday to a bill designed to provide money to farmers for crops that can be stored before being marketed.The proposed legislation was contained in the speech from the throne read last week, and is the only agricultural bill expected in the new session of Parliament The bill is aimed primarily at farmers of cereal crops— wheat and barley for example—although crops such as apples or potatoes may also fall under the proposal Essentially, farmers whose crops come under the jurisdiction of marketing boards will receive some initial payment for storable crops, particularly when there is a surplus and the commodity is not immediately placed on the market But an agriculture department spokesman says market prices will not be held at artificially high levels because the initial payments will not be high enough to warrant holding back the commodity Railway brawl MONTREAL - Attacking Bill 22 language tests las?night here, former federal cabinet minister Bryce Mackasey said Quebec’s Official Language Act should be reviewed and modified “The language tests im posed on young children are distasteful and must be modified the quota system is unjust and must be reviewed,” Mackasey told a Lachine-Lakeshore Liberal Association meeting Mackasey said Bourassa should also assure minorities of greater job opportunities in the public service and offer them the chance of increasing their representation in the National Assembly if he hoped to attract the Anglophone vote in the Nov.15 election Mackasey, however, would not comment as to whether he will be a candidate for the Liberal party ‘Tm not even sure I want to be a candidate,” he said He has two choices he said: To return to Ottawa as a backbencher and work for national unity or remain in the business world The former Postmaster General told an audience of 400 thaï Bill 22 was well intended and should not be rescinded” but added it required new regulations to safeguard the rights of minorities in Quebec In a rambling and emotional speech Mackasey said “if the minorities in Quebec reach the conclusion that they have no future here, that it is not enough to be bilingual but that one must be of French origin as well,” then separation of Quebec could happen “almost by accident.” “If over the next decade ('anada were to become a country made up of two groups, two communities, two ghettos if you like — one speaking only French and the other speaking only English — then in a relatively short period of time both would be assimilated culturally or economically.or both by the

at Daysland.Alta., 50 miles southeast of Edmonton.CHQT radio in Edmonton said earlier three men were taken to hospital and many more suffered minor injuries when members of the work crew attacked each other with axe handles, crowbars and rocks.Police said the men in hospital were in satisfactory condition with cuts and bruises.The incident occurred after a white worker painted a racial slur on a railway bunk car occupied by workers of East Indian extraction Windows in railway cars and several private automobiles were smashed.NWT land claim OTTAWA (CP) — The Indian Brotherhood of the Northwest Territories says the federal government has been ?rying to u^dernr-'?and present;.wn * V.S.native land claim The historic claim is to be presented Monday to Warren Allmand, minister of Indian affairs But George Erasmus, brotherhood president, says the government does not want to receive the claim.f “They’ve been trying to make it impossible for us to get community consent for it and to deliver it,” Mr.Erasmus said in an interview from Yellowknife on Thursday.This had been done by cutting off funds to the brotherhood and by downplaying Monday’s presentation ceremony.A spokesman for Mr.Allmand said problems have arisen with the claim, but denied any attempts to delay or discredit it The major problem is a split between the brotherhood and the Metis Association of the N.W.T., both of whom agreed last February to submit a joint claim by Nov.1.The claim covers 450,000 square miles of the NWT., most of the Mackenzie Valley district.The government has been lending the two organizations money to prepare the claim.But since last month’s split, Ottawa has not provided funds One brotherhood source said the native organization’s financial situation is desperate and that

must mean perverted guidance!” Process asbestos in Que.says Biron ASBESTOS — The processing of Quebec's natural resources within the province rather than exporting them for processing elsewhere would be the aim of a Union Nationale government, UN party leader Rodrigue Biron said here last night.He told about 200 supporters that Quebec processes only three per cent of its asbestos and was losing out in both jobs and money by exporting raw materials “If a company doesn’t want to process raw materials, the government could take steps like imposing some sort of tax per ton on one exported for processing,” he told the group repeating earlier remarks made to citizens at the town hall.However, industry would be told well beforehand of the schedule, as in being advised that within five years they would have to increase their processing by a certain percentage, he said A Union Nationale government would not be like the current Liberal administration, which acts only in crises, Biron said.Biron said Canada helps western farmers by exporting wheat but then has to import back processed asbestos which is no help to eastern Canada Biron also said a fund should be set up for miners Planes over U! without jobs or thrown out of work by the closing of mines He said such a fund could be contributed to by the provincial government, industry and perhaps, the miners themselves Local citizens in this community, perched on the edge of open asbestos mine pits, were somewhat sceptical of Biron’s promises when they met him at the town hall.“People have been telling us all this for so long but nothing ever seems to come of it,” said one resident.Mayor Lucien Bachand urged Biron not to forget towns if he comes to power Biron answered with a general statement on the party’s policy of decentralizing power structures Accompanied by former interim leader Maurice Bellemare who is a candidate in Johnson riding.Biron presented two more candidates for the Nov.15 election to a dinner meeting at a local service club One is Y von Brochum a former Creditiste MNA in Richmond, who will now run for the UN in that riding The other announced candidate was Kevin Danaher, a teacher who is running in Orford Party organizers said nominating conventions would have to be held in about 10 ridings where UN applicants outnumber vacancies collide > school LOS ANGELES (AP) About 100 schoolchildren and their teachers watched in terror from a playground Thursday as two airplanes collided 500 feet above their heads.Pilots of both planes were killed but no one on the ground was injured Cause of the accident is under investigation Teacher Marcia Falcone said she saw “two very distinct bodies falling with their arms and legs twisting,” as metal frag ments showered over the area The planes, a twin-engine Turbo Commander 690 and a single-engine Beechcraft Debonair, collided over the community of Venice about four miles from Los Angeles International Airport Wreckage was scattered over a square mile Police and firemen said they had difficulty restraining souvenir hunters who flocked to the area after the collision “They were carrying off everything from airplane parts to actual pieces of bodies,” said one policeman “You couldn’t believe it We did our best to stop them, but quite a few must have got away with some part or other.” The Federal Aviation Administration said visibility at the time was six miles, with haze and smoke Witnesses said the Beech craft exploded on collision Pieces fell on homes as the main body of the plane crashed upon a sidewalk The twin-engine plane plummeted toward the ground, striking a utility pole and exploding about 15 feet in front of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Venice substation, where 300 officers were preparing for a change of shift Los Angeles County coroner’s investigator Donald Stricklin identified the pilots as Erich Baldwin, 27, of Redondo Beach, and Donald Boldt.44.of Westlake Village, a Los Angeles

Peloquin is expected to give his charge to the jury later this morning in the Christine Monn trial Miss Morin.22, of Granby and formerly of Brigham stood trial this week on a charge of criminal negligence causing the death of Jean-Guy Lalonde, 39, in Brigham December 26, 1973 as the result of an alleged family quarrel Crown prosecutor Claude Noiseux produced 12 witnesses before he rested his case Wednesday afternoon In quoting an ambulance operator who testified he transported Mr I^alonde to the Brome-Missisquoi Perkins Hospital at approximately 7:30 pm December 26, 1973, Dr Claude Garriety stated he was on duty when the victim was admitted and death occurred some two hours later as the result of a wound to his abdomen Doctor Wesner Thesee Valdour, a pathologist for merly attached to the Montreal Medical Legal Institute, said he performed an autopsy the following day and the 22 projectile had torn through the victim’s liver, pancreas and spleen before coming to rest at his spinal column midway between the shoulder and cocyx He said death was caused by internal hem morhaging of the ruptured spleen Constable Andre I^essard, Cowansville Quebec Police, said he arrived on the scene when Mr Lalonde was on a stretcher prior to being taken to the hospital “I questioned some members of the family and then Christine volunteered to write a statement concerning the events after she had gone to a bedroom and given me the weapon.” Const Lessard’s testimony was collaborated by Const Jean-Guy Gauvin Further testimony by Const s Jean La pierre and Victor Judd, QPF Homicide Squad, produced a second declaration the following day after she had been imprisoned on a coroner’s warrant They said it was given freely after she had been told of her rights Other crown witnesses included prison matron and guards who testified concerning Miss Morin’s behavior after she was booked early on the morning of December 27 Judge Peloquin admitted the declaration in evidence and both correspondents revealing: “We were playing cards and Jean-Guy got annoyed,” Christine said “He then became very upset when the lights went out and mother went to the cellar to fix the circuit breaker He said my brother, Michel, should have gone hut mother told him (Jean-Guy) Michel didn’t know how to reset the breaker Shortly after that an argument started in the bedroom when Jean-Guy removed two paintings from the wall Mother told him to leave them and Jean-Guy pushed her Michel in tervened and Jean Guy hit him Mother went to call the police and Jean-Guy ripped the phone from the wall severing the cord At that point I became afraid for our lives and went to the bedroom to get the gun we kept loaded because of the number of escapes in the nearby Cowansville Penitentiary.When I got back to the kitchen he was holding mother in one hand and the phone in the other “I told them to leave when he lunged at me with both hands raised I only wanted to scare him, possibly wound him in the leg when the gun went off and he dropped to the floor It all happened so GENEVA (AP) Britain's delegates to talks on Rhodesia’s future denied today that their government had made any binding promises to the country’s ruling white minority in U S.State Secretary Henry Kis singer’s negotiations last month A British spokesman said Kissinger’s plan for a hi racial interim Rhodesian government leading to black majority rule was a “discussion document” only He said all its provisions were subject to negotiations at the talks beginning here next Thursday between Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and black nationalist leaders Smith says the plan was a firm package agreement and is not negotiable He said at a news conference on his arrival Thursday that he was not prepared to make major quickly I didn’t have time to aim properly.” Defense Lawyer Gilles Poussard, head of the South Shore Inégal Aid Community, who was assisted by Jean Riou based his defense on t he character of the victim Testimony from the six defense witnesses discribed the accused as a violent man prone to crash actions with little provocation Christine told of him hitting her sister, Suzanne, in the face with a closed fist when she wept following her father’s funeral and added he often brutalized her brother, Michel, and said Lalonde assaulted their father when he came to visit their mother when they were living in Rougemont after their legal separation A Granby Medical (’enter archivist testified Mr Morin was admitted in 1971 and treated for a fractured shoulder and multiple body contusions.Cowansville notary Raymond Body said he was taking an evening stroll on Montée Lebeau in Cowansville when a person living at the Morin’s residence fired a shot at him when he thought Mr Body was t repassing Mr Body said when the shot was fired he was on an abandoned logging road which was not concessions to the black nationalists on the proposals The nationalists, expected Monday or Tuesday, have rejected the proposals concerning the makeup of the interim goverment The plan accepted by Ceasefire BEIRUT - The Arab League reported yesterday that Christians and Moslems had committed “quite a number” of ceasefire violations on the first day of the latest truce in Lebanon’s civil war Leftist forces accused Isreal of bom harding their position in an effort to scuttle the ceasefire Small units from the 2,500-man Arab League peacekeeping force in Beirut moved into observer positions along the capital’s confrontation lines to monitor creasefire violations part of the Morin property.Mrs Barbara Morin, 39.mother of the accused, said she was legally separated for approximately seven months when she met Lalonde She said they later became lovers and then she had to tell him to leave her domicile when he evinced outward hostility to the children “He was especially hard on Michel and Suzanne,” she said He left ('hristine alone and she minded her business As the eldest of my six children she was the best qualified to cope wi.h the situation When .lean Guy and I were alone there were no problems However, when the children were around he triH to run the household on the lines of an army camp, a situation I couldn’t tolerate which was why I told him to leave.” Michel Morin, 20, and Mrs Morin corroborated Christine’s version of the events of the evening of December 26, 1973 Suzanne Morin Dumont, 19, said she was absent at the moment of the drama, however, said she had been brutalized by Mr.Lalonde citing the day of her father’s funeral The crown and defense will give their pleas to the jury when the case resumes in Criminal Decision of Superior Court this morning The nine woman, three man panel are expected to arrive at a verdict later today Smith on behalf

province Developer claims that servicing costs hike prices PRINCE GEORGE.B C (CP) — This north-central British Columbia city has the lowest residential lot prices in the province and Mayor Harold Moffat says he is amazed that a developer blames high cost of lots in Vancouver on servicing costs and municipal regulations A spokesman for Daon Development Corp says half the $25 .000 price of Greater Vancouver residential lots covers the cost of providing services and meeting municipal regulations The city of Prince George markets lots for $8,000 to $9,500, including a 10-per-cent profit margin, and the major private developer sells lots for about the same price A house that costs $50,000 in Prince George would sell for $80,000 in Vancouver City officials and a spokes man for the private company say the cost of servicing lots here is about $7,000 The private company, , 1977 : KTWOOD - The ( adil < AMI I \( I I BROI GH \M d’KI.KG\M K lac Fleetwood Brougham features a

Montreal’s October Business Review examines Canadas research and development efforts and voices concern that what appears to be a poor performance could get worse The Review says that despite the fact that research and development is vital to technological innovation, a major contributor to economic growth, Canada’s expenditures in this area, after adjustment for inflation, have remained virtually unchanged since 1969 The Review points out that in 1973 Canadian research and development expenditures were just over one per cent of the Gross National Product, while highly industrialized nations such as the U.S., the U K and Germany had outlays of at least two per cent.The Review suggest that “the short term con sidérations currently dominating the actions and decisions of both industrv and government” could reduce the already low level of activity in research and development “A good degree of innovation is required just to hold constant a country’s position in international trade To improve a country’s competitive position requires an intensive innovation program”, the Review says But there has been a “significant deemphasis’’ in this area by Canadian industry between 1969 and 1975 “In Canada, the portion of research and development expenditure devoted to research with practical application by industry is much less than half of the gross expenditure ” And the bulk of expenditures are carried out by Government and universities However, this creates what is described as a ‘‘technology transfer problem”.The lack of “close, ongoing relationships between those carrying out the research and those in a r n CAREERS TECHNICAL CONTROL SUPERINTENDENT PAPER MILL We are an eastern paper mill with the usual range of quality technical control and environmental problems.We

Telephone: 843 3321 Attention: Mr.Mike Davis Heights L^ands Development Ltd , is a consortium of major home builders that buys and develops land in partnership with the Roman Catholic church, which was granted the land more than 20 years ago.The city develops Crown land GIVES OTHER REASONS Mayor Moffat says he has been told by developers that it costs $12,500 to develop lots in Greater Vancouver, but he believes the cause is not servicing or municipal regulations “We go down eight feet with water and sewer pipes (to escape the winter frost line), compared to their three and we have to put in bigger storm sewer pipes to handle all the water and sand that results from the spring thaw,’’ he says.“But it still costs us about $7,000.” The mayor says the cost of raw land and the high interest rates charged for capital needed by developers accounts for high costs in the Vancouver area Bob Flitton, manager of Heights Land Development Ltd., says development companies have a bad financing record and pay interest rates of 14 per cent and up Mr Moffat says the answer to high lot prices is for Vancouver-area commun ities to get into land development as Prince George has done the last 10 years “The city takes 10 per cent for further development and keeps lot prices in line,’’ he says DON’T W \\T GROWTH Mr Flitton says he does not think Lower Mainland communities want lower lot prices because they are trying to discourage residential growth Mr Moffat says if municipalities develop Crown land, they save the high cost of raw land and the high interest rates for capital and can offer the lots to builders at a cost slightly higher than the $8,000 to $10,000 cost of development He says this would immediately cut the value of raw land, make the cost of land much less for private developers, and reduce the price they charge, but still allow them the same profit.Prince George has been developing Crown land since the mid-1960s when Ray Williston, then provincial lands and forest minister, tried a small development as an experiment Since then city council has maintained a continuous development policy based on low lot price, with full services paid for by lot purchasers Included is a percentage of land for parks, playgrounds, schools and recreational facilities and lump sums for shared costs of trunk water, sewer and storm sewer systems, which serve more than one subdivision MONTREAL (CP) -Prices were mixed in moderate trading Thursday on the Montreal Stock Exchange The closing volume was 361, 900 shares, compared with 284, 000 shares traded Wednesday

”, such as industry, means that much of the work of researchers is often left fallow.The Review says that “perhaps the most important limitations to expanding industrial research and development work are structural factors.” Since Canada’s primary sector plays a key role in the economy and its output is little changed from its natural state, there is no pressure for major research and development outlays.In contrast, the science-base industrial sector requires high expenditures but plays a relatively small role in the Canadian economy.The high degree of foreign ownership and control of Canadian industry may be a further structural limitation, although it is difficult to measure the importance of this factor, the Review notes On the other hand, multinational corporations usually transfer technology to their subsidiaries at a price below what it would cost to obtain the information independently.Eliminating loan ceilings TORONTO (CP) - A finance company executive predicted today that the federal government will eliminate the ceiling on interest Canadians must pay for loans Henry Dynes, chairman of the Association of Canadian Financial Corporations, said it seems clear that a new law, embodied in the proposed Borrowers and Depositors Protection Act, will eliminate maximum legal rates on loans Currently, lenders are restricted by federal law to a top rate of 24 per cent a year, a rate usually charged only on risky, short-term per sonalloans Mr Dynes told the group’s first annual convention that although such a law has always been in the best interests of the public “who.two years ago, would have expected to find the government ready to eliminate rate ceilings0” Mr Dynes, chairman of Traders Group Ltd , a major financial organization, said he was not suggesting that borrowers would have less protection under the new law He said the proposed new law would be oriented toward consumer protection, calling for such measures as uniform disclosure of true interest and other charges Finance ministers still undecided TORONTO (CP) Provincial finance ministers failed again Wednesday to reach a consensus on how to oppose federal government changes in revenue-guarantee and cost-sharing arrangements.Mervin Leitch, Alberta finance minister who was chairman of the meeting and one here Sept 14, told reporters that while no consensus was reached, the ministers made considerable progress “I expect we will reach a general agreement,” he said “It would be premature to say we have one.” At issue are cost-sharing arrangements and changes in revenue guarantee payments which Ontario has said might cost the province $300 million and mean a four-per-cent increase in pro vincial income tax It will mean a loss of $500 million to the other provinces, excluding Quebec which is not party to the federal-provincial agreement.Ontario had earlier urged the provinces to raise income taxes and put the blame on the federal government But Ontario Treasurer Darcy McKeough said Wednesday several proposals have since been made by both levels of government STARTED \G\I\ “We really threw most of them out today and started over again,” he said after the closed meeting Mr Leitch said Donald Macdonald, federal finance minister, has agreed to an extension of the Oct 15 deadline for provinces to give notice to the federal government if they intend to increase income tax No specific date has been set.he said, adding that it will not be until after a federal provincial meeting of finance ministers, the timing of which is not settled The finance ministers agreed to a suggestion bv Ontario that they meet again to discuss methods of financing the Canada Pension Plan.Mr McKeough said that if no change is made by the 1980s, money borrowed by the provinces from the plan and interest paid would be equal to or less than what is needed to pay out in pensions.Ontario will have borrowed $3.8 billion from the plan by the end of this year, a treasury

Very few can afford to employ a full time professional editor, and the absence of such editorial guidance is evident in many of the books published It can only hurt a writer to have his books in the stores before they are readv to be there This does not mean that there is no place for small pub lishers It does mean that it is impossible to tell what place there is for them as long as government

a staggering $67 billion annual turnover, the largest source of revenue for organized crime Yet last year, the Treasury Dept didn’t start a tax audit on a single gambler It permitted literally hundreds of millions of dollars in gambling taxes to go unpaid.The honest taxpayers, of course, were required to make up the difference The gambling tax laws weren’t en forced last year, it turns out.because of bureaucratic buck passing Two of the Treasury ’s enforcement agencies, the In temal Revenue Service and the Bureau of Alcohol.Tobacco and Firearms, waited all year for each other to do the investigative work The snafu developed in December, 1974 Previously, the 1RS had the responsibility to see that gamblers paid their wagering taxes The law requires professional gamblers to buy a $500 occupational tax stamp each year and to pay a 2 per cent excise tax on their take But 1RS Commissioner Donald Alexander, curiously, wanted to shift the responsibility to ATF.which has no tax specialists This was opposed by the 1RS intelligence director, John Olzewski.whose agents have the skills to nail the tax-evading gamblers Then in late December.1974, Olzewski took a vacation While he was gone.Alexander signed a memo authorizing the transfer He also persuaded Treasury Secretary William Simon to make it official That ended the enforcement of the gam bhng tax laws for the next year The Justice Dept got 900 gambling convictions in 1975 State and local authorities made another 13.000 arrests, more or less Almost all the convicted gamblers owed back taxes The Justice Dept, routinely forwarded the cases to the 1RS for tax assessment But the 1RS ignored them all last year Alexander claimed that ATF had the responsibility to investigate the failure of these gamblers to pay their wagermg taxes i Justice complained bitterly that the 1RS Jack Anderson’s ^ > - Washington wasn't cooperating An internal Justice memo charged that the 1RS wasn't even bothering to keep statistics on strike force gambling cases Finally, Rep Charles Vanik, DOhio, who heads the House 1RS oversight subcommittee, brought the problem to Simon s attention The Treasury Secretary immediately ordered the 1RS to continue their tax assessment responsibility for 1976 Some shocking statistics dramatize, meanwhile, how the gamblers are defying the law The definition of a gambler is somewhat vague under tin* law But with certain exceptions, anyone who earns more than $500 a year from gambling is supposed to pay the special gambling taxes Yet across the nation, only 1.297 gamblers have purchased their federal occupational stamp If these figures are to be believed, there are only three professsonal gamblers in New York, only three in Florida There are none at all in Arizona.Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii and New Jersey Even the gambling state of Nevada has only 120 registered gamblers Clearly, there are wholesale violations 1RS now has the responsibility for tax assessment ATF still ls supposed to take the criminal cases Neither agency ls doing its job They blame one another, and both blame the Treasury Dept Meanwhile, the 1RS has been hounding honest citizens for hack taxes while the gamblers escaped enforcement and hundreds of millions of dollars slipped through the Treasury’s fingers Footnote It ls possible that the 1RS audited the taxes of some gamblers last year as part of its income tax audits There were no audits, however, of gam blmg tax cases The* voluntary revenue from gambling taxes for the first nine months of 1975 incidentally, amounted to an insignificant tax rate of less than 1 per cent AID TO SMUGGLERS: Reports have reached Washington that Thailand’s military brass have provided helicopters from the United States to rescue wounded drug

history left the Central Experimental Farm when Bill Ardington retired recently.Mr.Ardington, herdsman for the National Dairy Showcase Herd, retired in September after 11V* years in that position He has been herdsman of this top-notch dairy herd since it was established in 1965 Mr.Ardington was 14 in 1928 when he started work on a dairy farm in Quebec’s Eastern Townships He gained experience and moved to work on progressively larger farms throughout that province, learning more about the dairy business with each move As Mr.Ardington says, things have changed since he first arrived in Canada from his native England “Back in 1928.I was making about $8 a month.It’s nearly $8 an hour now My board back then was probably about $75 a month 1 ate like a horse since 1 had to work like one,” he said His experience in dairying was a definite advantage when he joined Agriculture Canada’s Record of Per formance (ROP) testing service in 1949 He worked with ROP in Quebec until 1965, when Senator Harry Hays, then federal agriculture minister, established the National Dairy Showcase Herd Mr Ardington found that operating the showcase herd was different enough from typical dairy farming to be a challenge.As herdsman, he was responsible for the total production of the herd and the feeding and breeding programs.Like other Canadian dairymen, he wanted to get top value and quality for any replacements needed in the herd The former herdsman says the present showcase dairy herd is really a cross-section of the country’s dairy population The four most popular dairy breeds are represented: Ayrshire, Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey.Animals purchased for the herd are from good average ('anadian breeders There are no high priced animals, hut all have good family lines and have been classified either Good Plus or better Mr Ardington says these animals are typical of the Canadian dairy population The cattle bought for the herd serve as an advertisement of breeding stock avail able from Canadian dairy farmers.As herdsman, Mr Ardington was also the goodwill ambassador for the dairy barn, meeting with thousands of visitors each year — whether they were schoolchildren who had never seen a cow, or dignitaries from around the world It is his belief that the dairy showcase herd should be operated as a normal dairy farm, keeping it simple and clean In his view, the herd serves as a reminder of what a Canadian dairy farm is all about.“By and large, it’s been a good operation and I enjoyed my stay There may be things I could have done, but I think I’ve done what I should have,” he said If there is one thing Mr Ardington would like to have done, he said, “it would have been running my own dairy farm.” ‘‘Looking back on it, I don’t regret not doing it But if I had it to do over again, 1 think I would have made a real success of it,” he says.Mr Ardington and his wife moved to Cowansville, Quebec following his retirement NO INTEREST FINANCING UP TO MARCH 1, 1977 (Insurance

Mines are also part of this region.“The tie that hinds” is the theme of the book and the author.Ethel Reid Cruick-shank.says the tie binding “Dow n Homers” is love She writes of “memories of rolling hills, fishing for trout in the brook below our farm and making maple syrup in the spring It is memories of a quiet people, devoted to the land and to a Scottish Presbyterian virtue known as hard work ” Her book is to preserve in written form the history of that area “Leeds & St Sylvester: Historical Sketches” is largely a detailed account of the early families and their descendants.However, the book has a broader appeal than only to those familiar with the early families In a colorful fashion it captures the character of the people: their wonderful sense of humor, their individualistic and independent natures, their religion, their closeness to the land, and their high valuing of work In painting such a clear picture of the people, an interesting sociological view is also portrayed The way of life, the family and community ties are all vividly drawn Portraying humor, the author writes of David McHarg who was born at Maple Hill in 1866 “Dave was an excellent musician and enjoyed playing the violin He also enjoyed telling stories One of his stories was in connection with his school teaching days A slow reader was stumbling and stuttering over the word ‘hand* The Master spread

flowers are gone, the birds have flown, the air is crisp and chill; Yet in the homes of Inverness the happy children sing The farmer tending to his stock, works on with right good will; His wife is busy with her work, yet she’s inclined to sing.Their children in the public school, their mental fields now till; But ’ere their task is half complete, behold, again tis spring Now April sun, and wind, and showers, the ice-god's power besiege, And victory turned, with sun and showers, fills babbling brook and rill Now these wild streams in one mad rush, to reach the Thames engage.While that grand stream rolls proudly on, past hamlet, farm and mill.The ice of winter thick and strong, is riven by the the flood, Which only serves to bar the way of the oncoming tide; Now only butments mark the place where noble bridges stood; E’en the huge structure at the Bluff went o'er the dam broadside We care but little for the wreck, along our noble river, Our hearts are not on bridges wrecked in that stupendous crush, These things the merest trifles are, their value is in silver.We mourn the boys who met their doom in the dark water’s rush.A neighbour on the distant shore, now lifts a beckoning hand, And strong hands grasp the bending oars, in answer to his call; The stream was high, the current wild, and yet they hoped to land, The miller seated at the helm, gave courage to them all With heart and hand they plied the oars, the craft responded well.The miller held her to her course, he’s done the like before, The boys though more at home on land, worked manfully and well, They tried to cross the seething flood and gain the hoped for shore And what shall we say of Contractor McVetty, As kind-hearted a man as was ever of yore.Is he gone with the flood, Ah, no, he was saved, By graspoing the alders that grew on the shore You ask.What of the pilot, Is he with the missing.Is the farmer, the miller, the preacher no more.No, for leaving the boat where confusion was

all others.Who mourn for the boys who went down with the flood charming caption “Susan Miller Suitor — 13 children.61 grandchildren.86 greatgrandchildren.nine great great grandchildren and still counting ” Besides the people them selves, the other most interesting aspect of the book is the changeover of the “Down Home” area from an English-speaking to a French-speaking commu nity.Located close to Quebec City where immigrants landed following their journey from Europe, the “Down Home” region was settled in the early 18(X)s by English speaking pioneers It was also one of the first regions to receive French-speaking Quebecers as they began to move into the East ern Townships region By 1902 the English settlers had subsequently begun an exodus that took some to western Canada.Ontario, the US and other regions of the Townships The changeover from an English to a French com munity is well expressed by the front and back covers of the book, the front showing early settlers at work, while the back photo shows a road sign.“St.Jacques de Leeds.” However, in reaction to this changeover there is no trace of bitterness expressed in the book As Mrs Cruick shank said in an interview, “it was just the way things happened.” And she ends her book with the following poem: La vie des grands hommes nous rappelle Que nous aussi nous pouvons rendre notre vie sublime.Et laisser derrière nous, apres la mort Des empreintes sur le sable du temps.Her account also expresses a rapport and open-mindedness between French and English communities w'hich is more likely to exist in a small community where neighbors are neighbors despite language or culture She writes: Apart from the fact that the march of time has com pletely changed the population from English to French speaking.Leeds Village remains today as it was a century ago.a thriving little rural village The 300 souls make a moderate living by accommodating, in various commercial ways, the far mers of the surrounding areas.No new industries have developed.For some reason, the name of the new post office is written in Eng lish in spite of road signs telling the tourists that they are entering St Jacques de Leeds Perhaps it is to honor those early pioneers who founded Leeds in the early 1800’s for Leeds officially be came St Jacques de Leeds on September 23.1929 St.James Anglican Church and the stone

build the place of worship Each family contributed toward the building fund but years passed before their dream was realized It is of interest to note that a group of broad minded Protestants subscribed a substantial sum of money for the construction of the building The names of these persons were written in the book published (in French» at the time of the 50th anniversary of L'Eglise St

j|jgjjjg|jg! '•*••• - ¦ Craig's Road built through The following are excerpts taken from “Leeds and St.Sylvester: Historical Sketches” printed with the author’s permission.CRAIG’S ROAD Sir James Craig was Governor-in-Chief of Canada, 1807-1811.He was born in 1847 in Gilbraltar.Sir James Henry Craig died in London, England, January 12, 1812.Commissioned an ensign in the British Army in 1863, he rose to the rank of general in 1811.Ill health forced him to retire in June 1811.Sir James Craig wished to build a road from Quebec to Boston The road was originally traced by Joseph Kilborne, to cross St Gilles, wind along Beaurivage River, through the swamp land, cross Leeds, Ireland Halifax, Chester.Tingwick and Shipton, to reach Rich mond, where a road had already been built from the St.Francis River to the American border Seventy-five miles of road were cut through virgin forest.The stump-free fif teen-foot-wide watch bore wagon transportation for many years and finally provided the route for a paved highway between Quebec and Leeds Village Originally there were 120 bridges of varying sizes Twenty-four of them were built over large rivers.The one over the Becancour River was named Craig Bridge Four hundred officers and soldiers belonging to the different regiments of the garrison of Quebec were engaged in building the road, under Lieutenant-Colonel Robinson All, returned to their base when the job was done without one man having been lost by sickness or accident.It has been said that in surveying the route, the officials viewed the line from the top of one hill to the top of the next hill This casting of eye system resulted in a particularly hilly route, especially through Megantic County, where the road crosses the crest of Lipsey’s Hill In the early 1900’s a stagecoach took six days to go from Quebec to Boston Leaving Quebec at 4 a m on Monday morning the Quebec stagecoach met the Boston coach at Stanstead on the following Wednesday evening The two coaches travelling north and south respectively reached Quebec and Boston at the same time three days later The total trip from Quebec to Boston taking a full six days A SEVERE WINTER The winter of 1925-26 has gone down in history as the longest one ever experienced in Megantic County.Two feet of snow fell on October 9th, the night of the Hugh Beattie-May Morrison wedding reception in the First Range Orange Hall.The guests experienced great difficulty in reaching their homes before daylight.The snow that fell that night stayed until late in the month of May, more than seven months later.The snow had arrived at least six weeks earlier than usual No one was prepared for winter Cattle were still in the fields, garden vegetables were under the chilly blanket of snow and firewood had not been piled in the sheds Most people believed the snow would melt in a few days and so did no hurry to rescue vegetables while they were still not frozen Stewart Warcup scraped the snow off his potato patch and dug his unfrozen spuds from the ground but many never did dig theirs.In the spring the maple syrup was made, not in the month of April, as it usually was, but in May.The winter had been extended at both ends.Funerals are cold realities at any season of the year, but the January day that Joseph Fortier was buried was the most severe His corpse was brought from Lemesurier to Kinnear’s Mills by horses in spite of a strong wind and a temperature of forty degrees below zero.The distance was approximately seven miles, but some of the pall bearers had to travel twice that distance.One of them, James Reid said he owed his life that day to his horse and a pair of fur gauntlets which protected his face as well as his hands The gauntlets had been a gift from Richard Jebb-Brown, a North West Mounted Policeman After the burial in Riverside Cemetery, Kinnear’s Mills, the group of mourners were invited to have lunch at the home of the Misses Mary and Agnes Kinghorn Never was the warmth of a home, so inviting This kindness was deeply appreciated by those who had nearly perished from the abnormally cold weather.\N EARTHQUAKE Earthquakes are not common in Canada There is occasionally a slight tremor but they are seldom noticed It is little wonder, then that panic became infectious when the most severe earthquake to be recorded in Quebec occurred on February 28, 1925, at 9:15 pm, when most people were preparing for bed.One young man had gone to bed and was dozing off to sleep when aroused by a peculiar region rumbling noise and the shaking of his bed Thinking that the house would soon blow down, he jumped up, put on his heavy white socks, pulled on his pants backwards, stuffed the legs into the socks and ran downstairs to join the rest of the family.In spite of the gravity of the situation the sight of this strangely dressed character threw the family into gales of laughter At one house, where a cutter with shaft bells was parked in the yard, the residents were alerted by the jingling of the sleigh bells They rushed to the door to look for visitors but soon realized that the house was shaking and that the shaft bells on the cutter were jingling because of the shaking of the earth Some thought that the world was* coming to an end Many women became nervous enough to cry and one girl went into a state of shock In some houses dishes fell from shelves, while chairs rocked and slithered across the floor Rev John Murray was writing his sermon in his study that night while his wife was stirring the oatmeal porridge on the stove in the adjacent kitchen in preparation for the next morning’s breakfast.She noticed that the pictures were in motion on the wall, and since the radio was beating a fast tune, she called out, “Are ye dancing, John9” 'I < ¦ OR

moonshiner of considerable grace, class, courage and sardonic humor, in the Levy-Gardner Laven pro duction of “Gator ” Gator operates a still in a remote southern swamp and has an uncanny knack for getting himself in and out of hazardous situations He is a rebel and a non conformist, laughing his way through life as though it were a joke whose punchline he already knew’ An action adventure drama laid against a mosaic of chase sequences, “Gator” is the sequel to “White Light ning”, one of the most spectacular box office hits in the history of United Artists, a film which marked the introduction of Burt Reynolds as moonshiner Gator McKlusky Jerry Reed, Lauren Hutton.Jack Weston and Alice Ghost ley co-star in “Gator” Miss Hutton plays a TV newscaster who falls in love with Reynolds Reed, a top star in the country music world is uniquely cast a ruthless heavy in the film Weston portrays an under cover agent, and Miss Ghost-ley enacts the pivotal role of a social crusader TV’s popu lar talk show host Mike Douglas makes his film debut in a brief but key role, that of an ambitious gover nor with aspirations to run for the presidency The picture is a memorable one for Reynolds as it marks his film debut as a director.It’s reportedly a challenge Reynolds really relishes Since “The Longest Yard’’ a true original about sports in prison Burt has Cinema 2 to show "White Lightning" sequel Reynolds makes debut as director A fMT ¦ a.v* m ***«#*.* made a non-stop string of movies In “WAV and The Dixie Dancekings” he played a brash rural South spellbinder who crashes the

Long Last Love.” Next Burt teamed with France’s top screen actress, Catherine Deneuve, to play an honest cop afflicted with Middle-America hangups about his affair with a prostitute Then Burt flew to the Guaymas-Mexico City loca tions of “Lucky Lady” with Liza Minnelli and Gene Hackman, and almost immediately left for Georgia to do “Gator ” Indeed, he has scarcely paused since “Deliverance’’ translated a competent actor into a superstar Besides “White Lightning” he starred in “Shamus.” “Fuzz” and “The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing ” Burt meanwhile has discovered that he has a unique rapport with television talk-show audiences, in the studio and on the home screen Burt’s ab libs as guest and host on the Johnny Carson Tonight Show prompted NBC to contract six specials of “The Burt Reynolds

(CP) — Les Grands Ballets Canadiens will tour South America, Cuba and Mexico for almost two months next summer, the company’s artistic director Brian Macdonald announced Wednesday.Funding will be provided by the external affairs department In announcing the new season, Mr Macdonald said the Montreal-based company would perform homegrown ballets such as Tam Ti Delam set to the music of Quebec chansonnier Gilles Vigneault on the Latin American tour He said he wanted to make sure South Americans knew his dancers came from Canada, particularly Quebec.During the past two years, 11 students, all Quebecers, have been accepted into the company from its Ecole Supérieure de Danse.The dance troupe will give 125 performances in its 19th season which debuts Oct.2 in Massena, N Y The one-night performance is supported by the New York State Council of the Arts.Before going on the road, Les Grands Ballets will devote October to fund- raising events such as fashion shows and benefit dinners Last year the company received $968,000 in government grants, but total ex-penditures reached $2,178,871.Salaries for all employees of the company, including carpenters, set designers and musicians, in addition to dancers, accounted for $1,479,343.The 50 dancers went through almost $24,000 in shoes and leotards General manager Colin McIntyre said he could foresee no new sources of revenue for the company in a time of economic restraint and suggested that a lottery similar to Loto Quebec be set up to fund the performing arts.In November, the company performs in Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Montreal, Ottawa and Kingston.In December, the traditional Christmas ballet Nutcracker will be performed in Quebec City and Montreal.After taping a series of ballets for Radio Canada in January, the
