(CP) - Out going Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa chaired the last meeting of his Liberal cabinet Wednesday as the wheels of government tur ned toward an orderly tran sfer of power to the Parti Québécois As the cabinet convened % for the last time in Quebec ^ City, the PQs 15-member national executive met for several hours at a Montreal hotel The transfer to the new re gime drew closer today with the scheduled meeting of Mr Bourassa and his successor.PQ leader Rene Levesque Mr Levesque said Wed nesday the PQ executive discussed a variety of issues, including financing of the election campaign and the future relationship between the party and the caucus, which is to meet Saturday For at least one Liberal cabinet minister, an end to 6*2 years of government has come as a relief “I feel liberated/* said Finance Minister Raymond Garneau.whose government leaves a $1 billion deficit for the PQ to deal with Mr Levesque has cm phasied that his top priority is the provinces financial situation The new government will have to placate foreign investors who fear that its separatist platform will undermine financial stability The presidents of two associations of English language teachers welcomed the PQ victory, but noted their disagreement with the party’s language policy Mr Levesque has said that in future all immigrants would have to send their children to French immersion programs and there would be limits on the growth of the English-language school system Bob Dobie of the 5.400-member Quebec Association of Catholic Teachers predicted that the policy will eventually lead to a decrease in the province’s English-speaking student population Meanwhile.Montreal police issued a public warning to hew are of confidence men claiming to represent security companies offering to safely transfer cash out of the province for safekeeping Since a PQ victory began to shape up in public opinion polls before the election, there have been persistent reports of wellheeled Quebecers clearing out their bank accounts and safe deposit boxes and transferring their assets to other provinces Police said several per sons complained they had received telephone calls MONTREAL (CP) — Dr John O’Brien.Rector of Concordia University, said Wednesday that Quebec’s Englishspeaking community should regard itself as a minority group and be ready to adapt to the future “There's was no question of retreating across the border as quickly as possible,” Dr O'Brien said in a convocation address to about 800 McGill University graduates and another 1,500 friends and relatives “The English are becoming much more like other minorities in other Western societies We should regard ourselves in this role, and learn from other minority groups that have from persons suggesting they withdraw their money from the bank and take it home, where the “security company” would pick it up and transfer it out of the province The callers cited Quebec's uncertain political situation following the Parti Québécois w in to lure people into handing over their money, police said succeeded ” Dr O’Brien said the Englishspeaking group “will continue to have a solid place in Quebec." but it must adapt itself to the majority so that “a more positive spirit will prevail over the of ten sour attitudes that ap pear at the present time ” The rector, speaking two days after the_ Parti Québécois sweep to power, said the English minority’s future was not in jeopardy but if it does not attempt to adapt, “living in Quebec will be less pleasant than it might be.” One step Dr O’Brien sug gested was that the English learn the language of the majority.?Says PQ will bargain hard for Ottawa funds ?Concordia rector says English must adjust Fight against AIB rollbacks expected TORONTO (CP) Jacques Parizeau, newly-elected member of the Quebec national assembly, said Wednesday that the Parti Québécois will try to get as much money as possible from Ottawa Mr Parizeau, the party's economic adviser said that “until such time as we become independent," there is no reason not to bargain hard for as much as Quebec s can get J The province will seek “all the money that has been fun nelled to Ottawa for years without complete compensation," he said in an interview on the CBC radio program As It Happens Mr Parizeau also said that anything Ottawa gives Quebec will be an attempt to buy off the separatists.The party, which won a majority of seats in Monday's provincial election, plans to hold a referendum on whether Quebec should separate from Canada It will be interesting to see how much money Ottawa will pour into the province to win the referendum, he said Mr Parizeau, elected in the L’Assomption riding just east of Montreal, said the PQ government will put a higher priority on Quebec businesses than did Robert Bourassa s previous Liberal government This would be the kind of preference that other provinces have given their home companies for years Social programs will be emphasized instead of such expenditures as the Olympic Games site, he said There would also be additional con trois on Quebec's resource industries.Asked whether such industries might be nationalized, Mr Parizeau said the party wants “as lit tie nationalization as possible, but.if necessary, yes.” Mr Parizeau, 46.a university professor, ran unsuccessfully as a PQ candidate in the 1970 and 1973 Quebec elections TORONTO (CP) Many union* will trv to win back the negotiated pay raises they are losing because of rollbacks ordered by the anti-inflation board, a rail union leader told a University of Toronto seminar on the controls Wednesday “We are keeping track of what we consider legitimate gains lost to the antiinflation board." said Dick Smith, national vice-president of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks When controls come off.we shall include these losses as legitimate catch up goals.'* His warning was followed by a statement from Don Taylor, assistant Canadian director of the United Steelworkers of America, that up to $500 million in wages may be lost this year because of board ordered rollbacks Another panel member.Paul Pare, president of Imasco Ltd of Montreal, said the controls will shrink investment capital and reduce production in the economy The anti-inflation regulations, revised several times and released in their latest form only last month, are the most difficult ones business has ever faced, he said Anti-inflation board chairman Jean-Luc Pepin, smiling and genial, defended controls as the best available option in 1975 Companies squeezed by 'juice'

was first noticed by a Florida utility in 1970.industry sources said It has spread to all parts of the U S and appears to be flourishing in New England Boston Edison and New England Electric System recently mailed warning pamphlets with their bills Three New England Electric subsidiaries said that in 1975 they found 405 suspected cases of theft among one million customers They billed 177 customers for $61.457 worth of stolen electricity Through September of this year, the firm said it has found 1.521 suspicious cases, with 686 billed for a total of $130.588 New England Electric’s Chet McKinley, manager of customer accounting, said the three subsidiaries lose $500.000 a year to thieves, “although it could be $10 million a year for all I know.” “Anybody who says his company doesn’t have a problem hasn’t looked for one,” says Clarence Eckelmann of the New Orleans Public Service Co and chairman of the security committee of the Edison Electric Institute, a trade group Most electricity thieves realize they’d be caught if their meter recorded no usage, so they disable it or install jumper wires only part of the time, or else they rig their meter so it runs slow John Walsh of Boston Edison said the relatively new crime apparently “cuts across all the socioeconomic categories.** The companies won’t discuss specific techniques Some publications carry “how-to-do-it” articles, but utilities say those methods can injure or kill you They can also lead to fines or jail sentences McKinley said his firm got on to the thefts when it noted a rise in “unaccounted for" electricity, the difference between its production and that sold or lost in the lines In 1972.the company missed 8 per cent of produc tion By 1975.the figure was 18 per cent The difference was worth $6 6 million at an average 4.23 cents a kilowatt hour for all classes of users The utilities always ask customers to pay up New England Electric also hits them with a service charge, based on costs New England Electric said it has prosecuted 23 cases this year Boston Edison said it prefers civil to criminal remedies In Massachusetts, the maximum penalty for stealing electricity is a $100 fine and a year in jail Most cases of theft are uncovered by meter readers, but some are found when computers spot a suspiciously low bill Sometimes neighbors tattle SR As- f ¦ v' pp 1» llte; , NEW PROJECT

Bergeron) Dairy industry recovering - Whelan OTTAWA (CP) — The dairy industry has made a major recovery from the massive surpluses of milk powder and butter held last year, and stocks are heading towards more manageable levels, says Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan Mr Whelan told the On tario Dairy Council meeting Wednesday in Toronto he is satisfied the industry and federal government has done a better job of adjusting to the depressed world market than many other countries.“I think this is a major accomplishment considering the weakness of the world dairy market.” he said “Naturally, we were disappointed with the low prices we had to take for some of our skim milk powder But I'm satisfied we've done the best we can.” A text of his speech was released in advance of delivery The agriculture minister said uncommitted stocks of skim milk powder currently China explodes bomb in maior nuclear test totalled about 120 million pounds, and that this level would not bo added to this year.Mr Whelan made no men tion in his speech of the executive shake up last week in the Canadian Dairy Commission, the federal regulatory agency Mr Whelan appointed Gilles Choquette, his executive assistant, as chairman of the commission, and dumped the previous chairman and vice-chairman He said Tuesday he had offered the position to George McLaughlin, head of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, but the offer had been refused Mr Whelan urged the dairy council to adopt more advertising techniques to boost domestic consumption of products The dairy in dustrv spent less per capita in 1975 on advertising than did the coffee and soft drink industries, he said Quebec in focus WASHINGTON (AP) U S officials are checking for any fallout from China's latest nuclear test explosion, the largest in China's 12 year history as a nuclear pow er Wednesday’s explosion, estimated at four megatons by U S officials, also prompted speculation by Western military experts that China has developed a nuclear warhead that can be loaded on a long range missile The blast was 20 times larger than the last Chinese test explosion in September But the Environmental Protection Agency < EPA ) said that with favorable weather conditions the fallout in the U S may not exceed the low and harmless amounts of radiation caused by the September test However, the levels might bo increased, for example, by heavy rains when the radioactive cloud from the explosion passes over the United States, the EPA said The EPA activated a nationwide network of 61 monitoring stations, located in every state except West Virginia and New Hampshire, after the blast was detected i In Ottawa, a spokesman for the Canadian health depart ment said Wednesday sam pies of air are being air mailed to Ottawa from stations across Canada to be tested for fallout from the blast (He said the first results of the tests will be available next week, and milk samples will also bo tested later for any radioactivity ) Savage fighting at Israeli border BEIRUT (AP) — Leftist Lebanese Moslems say Christian militiamen and Israeli commandos attacked Kfar Kial.a Moslem village several hundred yards from the Israeli border, touching off savage fighting “Israeli border gun bat teries are shelling the village as well as its northern ap proaches to prevent dispatch of any reinforcements." said a communique Wednesday from the Lebanese Arab Army, made up of leftist Moslems who were in the Lebanese army until it dis integrated during the civil war Authoritative military sources in Tel Aviv denied that Israel was involved But there was no way to deter mine the validity of either report Residents of Metulla.an Israeli settlement just south of the Lebanese border, reported hearing artillery fire across the frontier Kfar Kial is on the edge of the Arkoub.the region in southeast Lebanon used by the Palestinian guerrillas as a staging area for raids into Israel until they got involved in the Lebanese war The ceasefire agreement concluded at the Arab sum mit meetings in Riyadh and Cairo last month provides for tho Palestinians to return to the Arkoub, but the Israelis have said they will not permit this.Since the ceasefire Oct.21.hundreds of guerrillas have been reported moving south through the Syrian lines, and Israel last week shelled targets in the region The Syrian fôrccs that in vaded Lebanon in June to prevent a leftist Moslem vie tory and now’ constitute the bulk of the peacekeeping for ce have stayed well away from the southern border, apparently to avoid provoking an Israeli attack The only other major areas of Lebanon they do not control are the Moslem ports of Tripoli and Sidon.the country’s second and third largest cities Tripoli is 60 miles north of Beirut and Sidon 25 miles south of the capital The Syrians are reported preparing to move into both cities Palestinian and Lebanese Moslem forces in Sidon were reported withdrawing from hilltop positions and dismantling street barricades But the Moslems in Tripoli were reported continuing to ex change artillery fire with the neighboring Christian town of Zagharta.as they have been doing throughout the civil war Nuclear stations MONTREAL (CP) HydroQuebec's plans to invest $51 billion in the next 15 years to build nuclear power stations could result in financial catastrophe, a physicist eon cerned w ith energy questions said Wednesday “It is inconceivable, primitive, like jumping onto a sink mg ship." Amory Lovins told a news conference at Con cordia University Mr Lovins said the province would have “far more electrical power than it could ever use" and warned the Quebec government “could go bust" subsidizing the public utility’s construction costs He has testified before a number of congressional and parliamentary committees on energy questions and favors the development of “soft" energy technology to complement conservation measures Flu shots MONTREAL (CP> The initial phase of the Quebec government’s inoculation program against the swine flu began Wednesday in 11 clinics under the jurisdiction of a major downtown hospital Dr A S Macpherson, community health director at the Montreal General Hospital, said his department received 12.000 doses of a combined vaccine known as A New Jer-sy and AVictoria that combats both swine flu and an Asian strain of influenza “The vaccine we have received come from Australia, not the United States," he said, assuring the public that it was highly unlikely that recent deaths of elderly persons in the U S after they were inoculated will be repeated “It has been rigorously tested to minimize risks " Roy backs UN ST GEORGES DE BEAUCE.Que (CP) Fabien Roy, reelected in his riding of BeauceSud as the sole member of the Popular National Party, said Wednesday he will collaborate with the Union Nationale He said he will work with opposition members of the national assembly in the interests of the population for legislation and an adminstration which responds to people’s needs, and “I intend to collaborate with the Union Nationale.” The UN.which took 11 seats in Monday’s provincial election won by the Parti Québécois, did not run a candidate against Mr Roy Bronfman backtracks MONTREAL (CP) Charles Bronfman attended a baseball news conference Wednesday but found himself again trying to lay to rest statements he made last Sunday on the eve of the Quebec election Mr Bronfman, president of The Seagram Co Ltd and chairman of the board of Montreal Expos of baseball’s National League, had already retracted statements that he would leave the province in the event of a Parti Québécois election victory, taking his distilling business and baseball club with him “Let's understand each other, fellows,” Mr Bronfman said, taking time out from the news conference announcing the signing of player Dave Cash to respond to a question about the political situation I was speaking at a closed meeting and there happened to be a reporter there, and the statements were reported everywhere.“I didn’t know it was going to get all over the world I got a phone call from Jerusalem today It’s in all the Israeli papers."

said some Series The Criminal Rate The following is the third installment of a six part ar tide concerning the borrowers and depositors protection act.The Criminal Rate The Bills establishes the concept of a Criminal Rate - a rate to be set so far above prevailing market rates as to be unjustifiable in any circumstances.Any person exacting a credit charge rate greater than this criminal rate is guilty of an offence and punishable by heavy fines and jail terms.Once it has been established that the rate charges w as in excess of the criminal rate, the offence is complete Clearly, the criminal rate must be set high enough to fall outside the range of rates charged on loans under prevailing market conditions.Within that normal or legitimate range, the combination of full disclosure, the unwarranted rate and the penalty-free prepayment privileges should protect the consumer from unjustified charges But the criminal rate is required to punish and deter socially-unacceptable practices such as loansharking, the discounting at excessive rates of income tax refunds, welfare cheques and other Government payments Police forces estimate that loan sharking in Canada has become the second highest source of income for organized crime, (second only to the drug traffic), with an estimated annual return of at least $3 billion Police ad vises that the practice, is increasing throughout the country Typically, loans made by loan sharks carry interest rates in the 400 per cent to 800 per cent rage, with penalty structures that can easily increase the effective rate to well over 1000 per cent Discounting of income tax refunds and social security payments is made at similar rates W hen the time elapsed between discounting and receipt of the cheque from the Government is very short (sometimes only one or two weeks, then the rate) is astronomical No existing federal or provincial legislation deals effectively with these practices, primarily because the penalties prescribed by existing statutes are insignificant when compared to the profit potential of loansharking and discounting Today when a loan is made for an amount not covered by The Small Loans Act, and where disclosure of credit charges is made in accordance with relevant Provincial Consumer Protection legislation, it is possible for lending transactions with interest rates as high as 1000 per cent (or more) to be undertaken legally in Canada The criminal rate concept, by creating a clear and easily demonstrable offence with penalties sufficiently severe io deter and punish loan sharks, promises to be the first effective effort in the reduction of these parasitic practices Payments on loans The legislation will determine the manner in which payments will be credited against a loan The intention is to ensure that a payment will be applied 1 ) to the credit charges accrued (at the agreed rate as calculated by the standardized method) for the number of days since the prior payment, and 2) to the reduction of the principal outstanding balance, for any remaining amount In the event of early payments, the debtor will only be paying credit charges accrued to the date of payment In cases of late payments credit charges will similarly reflect the delay.Another important feature under this heading is that the penalties lenders will be permitted to levy for late payments will be limited to the lesser of $2 00 or 1 per cent of the payment In addition, schemes by which penalties could be cumulated automatically until term, whenever a payment was not made, will not be permitted anymore news as evidence that diplomatic pressures might push OPEC into a more modest stance than a number of its members might like to take on oil prices President elect Jimmy Farter, among other U S.leaders, has said that any significant increase in oil prices would post* a serious obstacle to the economic recovery in the industrial nations “We've been guessing the increase might lx* 5 to 10

dinner, for less than many other charters charge for air fare and accommodation alone LUXURIES FEW But no trip to Cuba, even the most expensive, can be considered a luxury vacation by Canadian standards Cuba is a developing country with socialistic values The government and people welcome tourists because tourist dollars help ease their balance-of-pay* ments position in world trade But for Cubans it is still a time of ration books and shortages Food is plentiful for tourists but the variety is limited by local availability.There is in other Caribbean islands but Cuba will not waste trading dollars to import out-ofseason commodities to suit the whims of her visitors In many ways, mealtime at a Cuban resort is reminiscent of a summer camp or a boarding house where a set menu is offered If a visitor is prevented for dietary reasons from eating what is put in front of him, he receives extra portions of the part of the meal he is able to eat.DISTURBED BY WASTE Cubans seem disturbed by the wastefulness of Canadians “They ask for fruit and we give them fruit,” said a tour guide “They ask for eggs and we give them eggs Then they waste more than they eat.” Accommodation, too, is less than luxurious The big Havana hotels evoke the 1930s, when the city was filled with American gamblers The marble lobby of the Nacional has brass-cage elevator doors and cashiers’ wickets and the guestroom bathrubs are huge and almost three feet deep Repairs to balky hotel equipment are often makeshift because the United States trading embargo prohibits importation of spare parts Accommodations built since the revolution are functional but sparten by North American standards Max Doutre, vice-president of administration for Unitours, says: “When people speak of trying a contract giving one or the other a larger share of something, or allows that spouse to be entitled to something such as the family silver or a summer cottage in case of marnage break down, it will be recognized by law ” He said that marriage contracts have in the past been seen in Ontario as a “coldblooded approach by people who think that marriage is made in heaven Mr McMurtry said that until six months ago.he was not aware there was in the provincial statutes a Parents Maintenance Act “And I’m sure that 99 per cent of the legal profession wasn’t aware of it either We re not changing the act

off financially?” The attorney-general said that as far as he is concerned.the most important change the new legislation will bring about is the “recognition that the lawr values the contribution made

gain It has been rumored she is the woman whom president Earle McLaughlin is consid enng for appointment to the Royal Bank of Canada's board of directors Certainly, being the daughter of Sam Steinberg has helped but it w as a minor ingredient in her success Whether it was business wizardry, gut toughness or a combination of common sense, native intelligence, hard work and total involvement.Mrs Dobrin has brought class to Miracle Mart The Miracle Mart operation was formerly known as a “discounter”— convenient stores where customers could buy everything and anything at the lowest possible price The motivation was “sales at all cost ” BROUGHT DISCIPLINE Before Mrs Dobrin arrived, there were bins of stockings shoved off into a crowded corner Today, next to a wide aisle, there is a handsome display of quality-tested pantyhose Dresses of questionable style used to be jammed together on racks Now, the copy of an Italian knit is neatly displayed on a mannequin and still costs only $24 99 Factory closeouts were supplying a dozen different unknown brands of fishing rods, tennis rackets and skis to the sporting goods department but today the non-professional sportsman finds quality sporting goods at reasonable prices.“We had a big assortment of merchandise but we had the wrong merchandise and the wrong assortment,” says Mrs.Dobrin.Her total involvement with Miracle Mart started over lunch at a golf club when her father, looking miserable, told her he wanted her to come into the business She said she had no choice She had responsibility to her family.A lot was at stake.ALWAYS KNEW HER ROLE “I always knew I was going to do this,” she said Mrs.Dobrin has not always agreed with her father although “we had a healthy respect for each other ” When she went back to university to study law after her three children started school, he was against it.“But it was the stimulus I needed while I was raising my young family I went to school because studying gave me an excuse to stay home and look after them I didn't study law to be a lawyer but to develop ex pertise ” She started with Miracle Mart working in the stores selling, talking, seeing, discovering and there was a lot she didn’t like First, there was no selectiveness It was sell, sell, sell Anything for a price Second, you could never find anything DISMISSED EMPLOYEES Third, because the com pany was losing money, the regional dictate was to cut the payroll “By the time they got through cutting, there weren't enough people left to stock the shelves,” she said “And the people who were there were working too hard “You can't cut, cut, cut when you're trying to build a business Building a business is not how to cut but how to invest.” Fourth, the discovery that bothered her most concerned staff hierarchy.“In many cases I found that the man in the highest position wanted the least responsibility Anyone knows that the bigger the job the more responsibility it requires A man.as he grows, can learn to delegate his work but he cannot reduce his responsibility.” Accused of being the new broom that swept clean.Mrs Dobrin said, “I went to the Miracle Mart people and said I had an investment in the company that deserved a return ” GAVE STRICT ORDERS “I told them, ‘I have to set goals and you have to help me reach them ’ They knew-it would take hard work and responsibility.If they didn’t want to change old habits, I told them to look for another job.” The goals she set for Miracle Mart were the right merchandise at the right price presented in the right manner For merchandise, she decided to concentrate on goods that appeal to the most people in the broadest income span—toys, sporting goods, kitchenware and clothing No longer was she striving for the cheapest but for the best quality for the money For presentation, she concentrated on interior store design which is so important to her that she’s been changing Miracle Marts from here to Jon quiere.Que Changing an interior costs millions She hired Copland.Novae and Isreal of New York to do her planning “because they know about traffic problems and developing departments.” ASKED TME IM POSSIBLE?“I simply asked them to sit down and re invent the w heel ” To Mrs Dobrin.it’s the hu man involvement that has turned Miracle Mart around “I try to develop a relationship with the store manager to explain to him that his job is to recognize problems but not necessarily solve them No one is an expert on everything and we can always find the expertise to help him He in turn deals with his staff—talk periods, workshops, no questions are left unanswered “Every individual is important, the role he plays and his contribution Working together is a human, common sense, live-in.livewith situation “Every job is important If it

There were pink and yellow lady slippers which are of the orchid family Some of the flowers were small and delicate, the kind that are sometimes overlooked, and there were also tall dramatic types shown as well One of the more noteworthy of these was the cardinal flower It would be im possible to list all the lovely flowers which were shown With the exception of a few bouquets, all flowers were photographed in their natural habitat.On Oct 26 some of the men of the club gathered to have lunch together and to set up the tables for the Hallowe’en party which was held the following day They also assisted in serving tea and coffee at the party.A delicious supper was prepared and served by the ladies of the executive committee The menu was as follows.Oven stew with rolls, cabbage salad, with lemon bisque dessert and beverage Nothing quite takes the place of a good home cooked meal, especially when it is partaken of with such good fellowship D Donnachie, the director of the choral group, was the master of ceremonies for the evening’s entertainment A number of names had been submitted, and the group chose as their name ‘The Second Winds ” The winning order Christmas flowers for the altar As there will not be any meeting held in December, the election of officers were held All officers were returned to office by acclamation A drawing was held on two Esmond blankets, with Mrs Marguerite Fournier and Mrs Pearl Robb holding the lucky numbers Mrs Mildred Holliday did her usual fine job as auctioneer for the sale of artyicles brought in by members and guests A good amount was realized The next meeting will be held in January at the home of Alison W'atson Following adjournment of the meeting, delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs Mildred Morey and several other ladies MELBOURNE Mrs Russell Marshall of Inverness spent a few days guest of Mrs W.J.Fleming and while here they visited a number of friends at the Wales Home Friends of Mr Osborne Wilkins will be pleased to hear that he has returned home after being a surgical patient in the C H.U.Medical Centre.Sherbrooke for several days & name was submitted by Mrs F Green, since she was not present at the party.Mrs M Povey accepted the prize in her behalf Mr Donnachie then introduced Miss Karen Ross, whose accordian artistry has thrilled the members on several previous occasions Her three solos were: “PH Rhumba,” “The Golden Wedding ’ and “La Virgin de Macarenas.** The Second Winds sang a number of old favorites, and urged the members to sing along Mrs A Hunting provided the piano accompaniment Ernest Kimmis gave the humorous reading entitled “The Return of Little Al- * bert,’’ followed by “The Value of a Smile.’’ Everyone agreed with Mr Kimmis that a smile enriches those who receive, without impov erishing those who give, and it’s no good ’til it’s given away! The art group held their first exhibition of painting on Oct 28 All the work shown was completed during classes, with the exception of one painting by the late Miss K Fa les The exhibitors were: Mrs M Povey, Mrs F Green.Mrs M Begbie, Mrs E Sawyer, Mrs.D.Sangster, Mrs H Tolhurst, Mrs E Smith, Mrs.D.Tracy and Mrs.S Gaulin, who instructs the class Exhibitors wore name cards in the shape of pal lettes, the same motif being carried out on the place mats for the tea tables, which were centered with small rose covered glass containers in which candles glowed The exhibition was comprised of still life, floral and landscape work, with a couple of portrait studies in sepia Across the front of the stage were six floral studies from the same arrangement From the arrangement, each painter created a highly individualistic concept Red.yellow and orange tones predominated All this warm color massed at the front of the hall provided the focal point of the show’ and served to point up the strong individual approach of the painters Variations on a number of studies were shown as well as quite a few singles.The drawing for two door prizes and the raffle were made at intervals during the afternoon Mrs S.Gaulin asked D Armitage, the club president, to do the honors, and the first prize went to Mrs.Margery Moore.This was a small framed painting donated by Mrs.E Saun ders It was painted by Mrs Armstrong of Lennoxville, and depicted a scene with a covered bridge The second prize was a scene painted by Mrs.S Gaulin and won by Miss Christine Morrison The 16 x 20 inch framed oil painting which was raffled was a pastoral landscape painted on the McBain farm in East Angus, and was painted and donated by Mrs S Gaulin Believe it or not.the name on the winning ticket was Miss C Morrison, and they say that lightning never strikes twice in the same place! Mrs J Ranse-housan who was selling tickets, assured everyone it was quite legal! Fresh homemade doughnuts and tea were enjoyed by viewers and exhibitors Assisting in the serving were: Mrs P Munkittrick, Mrs A Clark and Mrs K Coates, while the exhibitors served tea Encouraged by complimentary comments on their work, members hope to make the art show an annual affair, and are starting afresh to produce work with this end in mind They plan to end the 1976 season w ith a pot luck dinner in December, the exact date as yet un decided David Belton visited the club on Nov 3.He gave a most informative talk out lining the special services any person 60 years of age may receive free of charge Free banking by mail, and free utility bill payment would be a boon in cold weather Higher interest paid on savings accounts and guaranteed monthly in come receipts are a help to combat inflation, especially for people on fixed incomes Estate and financial plan ning are also available During the discussion period members were made aware of the advisability of making a will, and of the various types of wills For those who have wills, the need to have them reviewed as circumstances may change over a period of years in such a way as to make the will impractical A trip to the Sherbrooke Museum at St Charles seminary on Nov 9 was most interesting, members found the time all too short and plan a return visit Mr Mercier, the director of the Museum, acted as guide for the group and told many fascinating stories behind the exhibits, which could not have been gleaned merely by reading the printed infor mation on the exhibits There were photos of the home of Jacques Cartier, the discoverer of Canada in 1534 A small stained glass window from that home is to be seen at the museum The pen donated by Sir Wilfred Laurier was fashioned from a porcupine quill The pen point being attached to the large quill Louis St Laurent, during his term as Prime Minister, also gave a pen.his being a foun tain pen.Since this is the day of ball point pens and felt tip pens, some of the younger generation may never have seen a fountain pen! Members were shown the stone of the Phoenicians which was found along the St.Francis River bank in 1966.and it was only last year that the writing incised into the stone could be translated The explorers who visited these shores lived in the same period as King Solomon The marine section, wild life and plant, and mineral sections were well represented Of the 310 birds of Quebec.302 are shown, it is one of the best collections in the country Of special interest to the citizens of Sherbrooke were photos of the city in the early days.Leaving the Museum the members went to St Michael s Cathedral where they were welcomed by Father Raymond Desilets w ho guided them through the Bishops Palace and the Cathedral The beauty of the stained glass windows was further enhanced by the sun light streaming through them The Cathedral was a very impressive sight, but the chapel in the Bishop's Palace was a gem of perfection with the four panels painted by Quebec artist, Ozias Leduc, and the high stained glass windows above the marble altar The Leduc paintings were finished in 1934 The chapel was patterned after the St Louis Chapel in Paris The sitting room in the palace is sometimes used for receptions, and it is a most graciously appointed room It is dominated by a large painting of the Holy Family by Soldatich.a Hungarian artist Painted in 1902.it was valued then at about $20.000, which gives some idea of its worth today Father Desilets, himself a fine painter, showed the members his collection of paintings which hang in his private apartment This was an added bonus which the members appreciated very much and found most interesting, especially to members of the Sher Lenn art group Leaving the glowing colors of paintings and stained glass the members ventured out into the bleak November weather, and, continuing to a neighboring restaurant;

Defeat struggling Canucks 3-2 THK MIKKHKOOkK HKC OKI) — Till KS.NOV |M.|H7« — 7 Sabres come-from-behind "I tried to buy success, it didn't work VANCOUVER (CP) — Don Luce intercepted a clearing pass and scored with 13 seconds left to give Buffalo Sabres a come-from-behind 3-2 decision over the struggling Vancouver Canucks in a National Hockey League game Wed nesday night before about 15.000 fans The Sabres stretched their unbeaten string to six games by scoring twice in the third period despite constant pressure by the Canucks on Buffalo goaltender Gerry Desjardins, who made three key stops against Chris Od-dleifson of the Canucks Luce scored the winning goal after intercepting a poor pass by Don Lever of the Canucks just inside the Vancouver blue line Luce’s fin^fethot was blocked by VaW>uver defenceman Mike Robitaille, but the veteran Buffalo centre fired a second shot high into the far corner behind Canuck goaltender Cesare Maniago Rookie Terry Martin had tied the score for the Sabres midway through the period w hen the puck was deflected past Maniago off Lever in the goal crease Gilbert Perreault scored the other Buffalo goal, while the Canucks got goals from Dennis Ververgaert and Lever in losing their fifth straight game.The w in moved the second-place Sabres four points ahead of Cleveland Barons and Toronto Maple Leafs in the Adams Division Buffalo now trails first-place Boston Bruins by five points The Canucks remained in fourth place in the Smythe Division, two points behind Minnesota Vancouver controlled much of the game and out-shot the Sabres in every period But they were denied by Desjardins, who con tinued his brilliant goaltending in keeping his goals-against average under 2.00 a game.It was Desjardins’ 10th w in of the season Ververgaert opened scoring in the first period when he came out of the corner unmolested and beat Desjardins with a low shot while the Buffalo defence pair of Lee Fogolin and Jerry Korab watched Perreault tied the score late in the period by jamming his own rebound past Ma ^o after intercepting a pasWy John Gould of the Canucks in the Vancouver end Lever put the Canucks ahead 2-1 in the first minute of the second period when he poked a loose puck under Desjardins after the Buffalo netminder had blocked a shot by Gould Maniago and Desjardins made spectacular saves in the second period and Desjardins was even better in the third He robbed Mike Walton on a goalmouth setup by Robitaille and then made his three tough saves against close-in shots by Oddleifson It was the first time this season that Maniago has played two successive games Coach Phil Maloney had previously alternated Maniago with rookie Curt Ridley, although Ridley played four straight games when Maniago was injured early in the season Referee Wally Harris called only one minor penalty to each team in the tight-checking game Rangers 3 Hawks 2 NEW YORK w)ver Chicago Black Ha 4^.Esposito opened the scoring at 5:59 of the first period on a 15-foot shot after a pass from Ken Hodge He then received credit for his 20th career regular-season goal against his younger brother when his 20-foot shot deflected in off Chicago defenceman Dale Talion It was Esposito's ninth goal of the season J P Bordeleau came back for the Hawks at 2:33 of the second period when he converted a Jim Harrison pass But Esposito came right ' back and sent Hodge in alone on a breakaway for what Proved to be the game winning goal Chicago's Pit Martin completed the scoring at 18 22 of the second period It was the first victory of the season for assistant coach

“per secution” of banks and concentrate on trust companies and other major Canadian corporations Mrs Appel, whose mandate from Marc Lalonde, federal minister of health and welfare, was to persuade corporations to promote women, said the recent controversy generated by statements made by W Earle McLaughlin, president of the Royal Bank of Canada, is being “flogged” by many leaders of the women’s movement Mr McLaughlin, whose board is entirely made up of men, said that “despite a cross-Canada search” the bank has been unsuccessful in locating a woman in the right geographical area and with an acceptable mix of business and management expertise to serve as a director.However, the bank recently announced it had a woman in mind and she would be named shortly “I am very grateful that Earle McLaughlin said what he did,” said Mrs.Appel in an interview “That’s one man’s point of view.What many people don't realize is that the Royal Bank has one of the most advanced training programs in management for women ” BANKS RESPONSIVE Mrs Appel said that, contrary to public thinking, the banks have “really responded” to the general theme of assisting women up the corporate ladder She said that where women are “really unrepresented” in middle and upper management is in those companies that deal with products and services that women “are really into.” “Women are responsible for about 90 per cent of the consumer decisions in this country About the only area they aren’t acquainted with is that dealing with the military, such as the production of nuclear weapons.” Since her appointment last year, Mrs Appel, whose husband, A Bram Appel, is a well known Montreal financier, has negotiated with leaders of industry and commerce across the boardrooms and executive suites of the country.In that time, she has managed to cajole eight of them into serving on a special advisory board for Mr.Lalonde, who is the federal minister responsible for the status of women ACT AS LIAISON “We wanted to start a kind of communications centre within each of their industries.” she said “These men will help interpret the problems women have in industries such as retail, oil.banking, insurance and communications.” Mrs Appel’s major task has been persuading presidents and vice-presidents in major industries employing women to provide equal opportunities to their employees She also spends a great deal of time travelling between Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, speaking to service clubs and addressing luncheons It is here that she reaches “the real pussy cats”—the midexecutive males whose wives stay home or spend their spare hours in volunteer work At a recent luncheon, one of them suggested that Mrs Appel was “encouraging the degeneration of the family and women’s spiritual personality” by her radical suggestions “But I’ve found more women interested in managing a home than pursuing a career, she said OFFER NEW DIMENSION “I'm simply looking for a reasonable middle road and male recognition that women, when considered for places in upper management or on boards, can bnng a new dimension to the task “For instance, I know I could bring humanities, consumerism, the environmental issues and could speak for the kids of today.” Mrs Appel disputes the view of some feminists that women in the past have been a “disadvantaged” group “We’ve never been disadvantaged,” she said emphatically “We’ve been parasites, not a special’ group, but we re simply not equal ” She criticized organized labor for not protecting women They tend to use women in unions outrageously.I think When was the last time you heard of labor including the need for a daycare centre or child assistance in a union-management contract0” Mrs Appel said that women are being “knocked off” in the employment force.“It has to do with the last-hired bit, or at least that is how employers get around it ” She concluded that the most heartening part of her $l-a-year job with Mr Lalonde has been that “men are taking the problem seriously “And I’ll admit I’m an elitist Right now it is getting women into the work forc^ and letting them grow ¦ their own rate that is of prime importance.” BEEBE Mr.and Mrs.Robert Russell of Oshawa, Ont.were overnight guests of Mr and Mrs Glen Sails They also called on Mrs Harry Johnston where Miss Gertrude Sharkey is spending some time and all enjoyed a very pleasant evening as the four ladies attended school together Mrs.Russell is the former Vera Simcock of Fitch Bay.The many friends of Charles Bullock of Graniteville, will regret to hear that he is a surgical patient in the Sherbrooke Hospital Miss Louise Young of Camrose, Alta spent a few days with her aunt, Mrs William Yates and is now visiting relatives in Milby.The November meeting of the
