Young English-speaking Township-pers can’t get jobs locally so they're not getting married and they’re not having children.“Selective outmigration and failure to establish households and have families have * the effect of depriving the existing population of replacements at the lower, younger end of the age pyramid,” the study states.Goodfellow put much of the blame See TOWNSHIPPERS' page 3 U.S.Navy retaliates against mortar attack Witness: Police gave no warning BEIRUT (AP) — A U.S.Navy warship shelled Syrian artillery positions in central Lebanon today as the Lebanese army and U.S.Marines came under attack.Near Beirut, Lebanese jets also went into action for the first time since September.U.S.Air Force Capt.Jack Giese said the guided missile destroyer USS Claude V.Ricketts fired 11 rounds from its five-inch guns after the Lebanese command requested fire on Syrian positions.The marine base at Beirut’s international airport came under mortar fire from the southeast at 6:45 a.m.local time and marines shot back with mortars, said Giese, a spokesman for the marine force.Lebanese air force jets bombed Druse Moslem insurgent positions in the mountains southeast of Beirut after the Druse attacked army positions.The clashes ended a two-day lull in fighting around the capital.A military communique said army-positions southeast of Beirut had come under attack by the Syrian-backed Druse militiamen and the air force jets scrambled to retaliate with several bombing runs.Ground-to-air missiles were fired as a pair of Lebanese Hawker-Hunters flew sorties in the Chouf mountains about 17 kilometres from Beirut’s centre.There was no immediate word on the extent of damage from the attacks.BACK IN ACTION It was the first time the Lebanese air force went into action since last September’s civil war in the central mountains when it lost two of its five Second World War British-made Hawker-Hunters.‘Free lunch’ costs public purse plenty OTTAWA (CP) — With rock-bottom prices for comfortable dining, the Parliamentary Restaurant, which caters to MPs, senators, their staffs and press gallery members, lost $5.1 million on its operations during the last fiscal year.However, it recorded a $400,000 surplus because $5.5 million worth of salaries and services ranging from uniforms to cutlery was subsidized through the House of Commons and the Department of Public Works.The information is contained in a report by Auditor Genral Kenneth Dye for the year ending March 1983.In an interview, Dye said he has recommended a review of the subsidized prices as a way of boosting revenues, but has no power to insist on such action.The restaurant’s daily dinner special, which could include vichy-soisse, fiddleheads, salad, steak, coffee and French pastry, sells for $4.20 - generally less than half the price charged by downtown restaurants.Dye’s report says that food and beverage sales brought in about $3 million, only $857,810 more than the purchase price.The report also expresses concern about the parliamentary bookstore’s excessive inventory, particularly of the publications Canada’s Parliament and The Parliament Buildings.The low annual turnover of these publications suggests the stock will last for 11 to 160 years, depending on the edition, Dye says.“In my opinion, due regard for economy was not shown in acquiring these publications,” he states.“The only consideration that appears to have determined the number of copies to be ordered was the saving per unit offered by the pu-J)lisher on a large order.’’ y The tone of the army communiques and of statements issued by Druse leader Walid Jumblatt’s Progressive Socialist party suggested a major Druse offensive was under way to overrun the village of Kabr Chmoun.The village controls the main crossroad intersection linking the southeastern Chouf mountains with the central Abey ridge that overlooks the U.S.Marine base at Beirut International Airport.Communiques from both sides later said the fighting spread to the Abey area, about two kilometres south of Kabr Chmoun.where an army garrison has been holding out since September.“Army positions in Abey and Kabr Rhmoun are under repeated attacks-,”said a midmorning communique from the Lebanese command.“Our troops are standing fast against these attacks.Army artillery and air force are providing support.” “Our fighters are advancing steadily along the Abey and Kabr Chmoun axes and several army officers and soldiers have been captured,” said a Druse communique broadcast over Jumblatt’s Voice of the Mountains radio station.ARMY WITHDRAWS Druse forces drove rightist Christian militiamen of the Phalange party from most of the Abey and Chouf mountains in a three-week offensive in September.The fighting broke out after the Israeli army withdrew from central to southern Lebanon.An army communique said the new Druse attack was mounted late Monday and heavy fighting had been raging since then.Brig.-Gen.Lutfi Jaber, Shiite commander of the army’s 6th Brigade, had ordered his soldiers to report to duty in West Beirut and take over security of the besieged Moslem sector of the capital.The spiritual leader of Beirut’s Shiite Moslems called for “absolute co-operation” with the brigade to restore law and order.The move, if completed, would give the army its first presence in the predominantly Moslem sector since militiamen took control a week ago in heavy fighting.The 6th Brigade had refused to fight at the height of the battle.In Washington, officials said the Reagan administration had set in motion plans to withdraw U.S.Marines from Lebanon before mid-March.Other administration officials said several hundred American military personnel would be left on the ground to guard the U.S.Embassy in Beirut, train Lebanese soldiers, teach counter-terrorist tactics and perform other tasks, including communications.¦ y Sr?* Wmmi SI (*, l fÊÊÊÊKÊKt :e i • WÈ fr'fr * \â* ¦ * .w » * RECORD PERRN BEATON A coroner's inquest was shown Sherbrooke police weapons (top) used in a raid that left an innocent man dead, and the motel-room door punctured by 21 bullet holes.By Michael McDevitt SHERBROOKE — The long-awaited coroner’s inquest into the fatal shooting of Serge Beaudoin by Sherbrooke police last December began Monday with testimony by key witnesses indicating the 33 year-old carpet-layer was struck by eight bullets from a 9 mm sub-machinegun fired through a closed motel room door as he was rising from his bed.Witnesses said police did not identify themselves before the shooting, which left Beaudoin dead and his 32 year-old partner Jean-Paul Beau- monmt wounded.Beaudoin was shot early on the morning of December 23 as police from Sherbrooke and Rock Forest raided room 5 of Rock Forest’s Le Châtillon motel wrongly believing they had found the men who had shot and killed a Brink’s security guard during a $47,000 hold-up the previous day.He died several hours later at the CHUS from shock and “lacerations of the heart and right lung caused by the passage of a bullet” according to pathologist Dr.Jean Hould who performed the autopsy.1 lould told t he hearing that physical evidence indicated Beaudoin was “either standing or sitting — but not lying down” when he wms struck by the bullets and said in his opinion Beaudoin was "probably caught by surprise while he was sleeping and was in the process of rising from his bed when the bullets hit." Ballistics expert Yvon Theriault testified that a total of 21 shots were fired through the motel room door, all but one of which came from a Belgian- Sec CARPET page 3 Chernenko to meet Trudeau after funeral MOSCOW (CP) — Yuri Andropov, the late Soviet president and Communist party leader, was buried today at the foot of the Krelim wall in Red Square among other heroes of the Soviet state.Dignitaries from more than 100 countries, including Prime Minister Trudeau, joined thousands of mourners in the square for the funeral.The state funeral will be followed by a series of important bilateral meetings between the new party leader, Konstantin Chernenko, and foreign dignitaries, including U.S.Vice-President George Bush — scheduled for later today — and Prime Minister Trudeau — set for Wednesday.A spokesman from Trudeau’s office in Ottawa said Monday night the Tru-deau-Chernenko meeting will centre on the prime minister’s East-West peace initiative.The meeting will delay the prime minister’s scheduled return to Ottawa by one day, forcing Trudeau’s ab sence at Wednesday’s presentation of the federal budget in the Commons.Chernenko will also meet with British Prime Minister Margaret That cher and French Premier Pierre Mauroy.Soldiers and workers selected from Moscow factories and offices lined the broad square as Andropov’s open red-draped coffin was carried around the mausoleum of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Soviet state by military officers.ACCOMPANY COFFIN The coffin was accompanied to its burial place by Chernenko and other members of the party Politburo.Chernenko led other Politburo members in paying their third visit to the Hall of Unions to observe a minute’s silence at the foot of Andropov’s coffin, signalling the beginning of the state funeral The lineup of leaders showed for the second time that younger Politburo members Mikhail Gorbachov and Grigory Romanov have emerged as senior members of the leadership.Gorbachov, who visited Canada last May and left a favorable impression on those who had met him, stood on Chernenko’s right.Romanov was beside Gorbachov.Older members of the Politburo, including Premier Nikolai Tikhonov, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Defence Minister Dmitry Ustinov were on Chernenko’s left.The same lineup was also evident when the leadership visited the hall Monday night and it contrasted shar- ply with the positions at their first visit Friday, the day after Andropov's death, when Gorbachov and Roma nov stood some distance from Chernenko.Western diplomats said the new li neup could indicate that as part of a backstage deal, Chernenko had agreed to ensure Gorbachov a prominent place as heir apparent in return for (he unanimous endorsement of his leadership.Soldiers carrying their rifles rigidly in front of their chests and swinging their arms in time with the slow goose step walked beside and behind the caisson as the funeral procession mo ved toward the Kremlim.Andropov’s wife Tatyana, his son Igor and daughter Irina followed ime diately after the caisson.Next came the 12 surviving members of the Politburo, each with a red mourning ar mband on, his left arm.At the head of the procession, civi lians and military officers walked with thousands of red and white carnations wrought into memorial bouquets.The procession flowed across Gorky Street, the central shopping avenue, and swung left across Revolution Square past the Moscow Hotel and up the small incline into the cob blestoned Red Square.Andropov died Thursday at age 69 after a history of diabetes and heart and kidney problems that worsened during the last six months of his rule.At 72, Chernenko is the oldest man to be named to the pinnacle of Soviet power.He is one year younger than U.S.President Reagan.Canadian External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen said in Ottawa on Monday that the choice of Chernenko as the new Soviet leader doesn’t likely foreshadow any major change in East-West relations.In his first speech to the party’s Central Committee after accepting his new office as party general secretary.Chernenko promised to maintain Soviet military strength He also said he supports a policy of “peaceful co-existence" with the West.REITERATES STAND MacEachen said he wasn’t aware of the Chernenko speech, but added: "1 would be very surprised if he didn’t continue for the time being to re-echo the kinds of statements we heard from Gromyko in Stockholm," the Swedish capital where a European disarmament and security conference See TRUDEAU page 3 Tories claim tax officials threatened OTTAWA (CP) — Revenue Minister Pierre Bussieres has subtly threatened to punish tax officials who assist a Conservative task force studying his department’s operations, Tory MP Chris Speyer said Monday.In a weekend radio interview, Bussieres said he has no objection to officials appearing before the committe as long as the hearings are conducted in accordance w'ith parliamentary rules.But Speyer, M P for the Cambridge.Ont., riding, told the Commons there are no “parliamentary rules” governing caucus inquiries and asked the minister if his comments forewarn of retribution.Bussieres simply repeated that officials are free to testify if the task force obeys the “well-established rules of the game.” When pressed outside the Commons to identify the rules, he hedged, saying it is not his responsibility to elaborate on regulations well-known by politicians and their officials.Speyer, consumer and corporate affairs critic, told reporters only parliamentary committees are subject to guides: a task force set up by a political party operates outside Parliament and therefore has a free hand.CONFUSES ISSUE Bussieres has deliberately confused the issue to frighten officials away from the hearings, Speyer said, adding that his party’s investigation wdll be severely hampered as a result.When plans for a task force were announced last week, the Tories hoped to examine the operations of Revenue Canada offices, as well as entertaining taxpayers’ complaints.Illiteracy, not ‘hambourgeois’, Quebec problem — Bourgault MONTREAL — Die-hard devotees of the French language should stop trying to come up with the best way of translating hamburger and be more concerned about the staggering number of illiterates in the province, says one of the original supporters of Quebec independence.Pierre Bourgault, former president of the nationalist Rassemblement pour 1 indépendance nationale, told a conference on terminology and communications Monday that the debate on jouai is a thing of the past and that by keeping the province unilin gual Quebecers are hindering their growth.“By refusing to use the French language as we know it now, we are accepting the worst kind of separatism," he told the meeting, organized by L’Office de la langue française, the government agency which oversees administration of the province’s language law, and the Quebec Association of Translators.‘Tm fed up with Quebec revolutionaries who can’t speak two words of French and who label themselves poets,’’ said Bourgault “When we have to sub title our movies for fran cophones, it’s bad.” LOOK AT PROBLEM There are 500,000 functional illiterates in Quebec, he said, urging linguists to look into the problem.“When we think about the millions of dollars we spend to preserve the quality of the language, and the pennies that go into teaching people how to read and write, I think it’s a scandal,” said Bourgault, a communications professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal."You (terminologists) come up with ridiculous words and expressions," he said, referring to the Office’s controversial efforts to find translations for words such as hamburger (hambourgeois). 2—Th«* RKCORI)—Tuesday, February U.I!)KI St.Valentine may have lost his head says church, but not over love VATICAN CITY (AIM 'Hi' my Va lentine” makes sense to a lot of people, but it's a mystery to the Vati can.In the Holy See.the legend ol St Valentine, or rather Saints Valentine, is associated more with headless bodies than with lovers.Valentine is as much a mixture ol myth, religion and tradition as Faster bunnies orSt.Nicholas, who somehow through time became a jolly red suited Santa Claus And, as with any good legend, there is confusion "The first thing I have to tell you is that no one has any idea of why people adopted him as the patron saint for lovers." said Msgr Ciuseppc D Asco-la of the Vatican's Congregation for theCauseol Saints "Wegot the same question every year But the (Roman Catholici church does not consider him as the patron saint for lovers," he said in an inter view I suspect it is an invention ol some chocolate company LISTK1» THIRD In fact.St Valentine is listed third on the liturgical calendarof saints tor Feb I t behind St.Cirillo and St.Methodio St Valentine’s name is even written in smaller letters than the other two saints.That means there is no obligatory mass for him, D Ascola explained When asked who St Valentine was, D Ascola threw up his hands and laughed.Then he pulled out the Vatican's official encyclopedia of saints.Bibliotheca Sanctorum.Inside are listed Hi men named Valentine from Italy.France, Germany and Spain who have been canonized.Two, both third century Italians, have feast days on Feb.I I.Little is know n about them The Bibliotheca says one was said to be a priest in Rome who was condemned to death by the Emperor Cladius the Goth.He was beheaded and originally was believed buried on Via Flaminia.A church was later built on the site outside Rome.But the Bibliotheca Sanctorum also says this Valentine probably did not exist.It says the confusion arose because of a mistranslation involving that church, which was built by a man named Valentine.STILL RECOGNIZED Nonetheless, it said, a cult venerating Valentine arose and spread widely and is still recognized by the church.The other Italian Valentine was also beheaded, on a street called Via Flaminia, either in Rome or in Terni, east of Rome.He was believed to have been a bishop and was buried under the basilica that bears his name in Terni The Hi bliotheca Sanctorum says this SI.Valentine probably existed.There was also a Pope Valentine for 4(1 days in X27.But he wasn I sainted.So what does all this have to do with lovers?Again, no one is really sure Some historians think the feast day, like many Christian ceremonies, was adopted from ancient Roman traditions.In this case that would be Lu-percalia, a Roman festival held around the same time as St.Valentine’s Day in honor of fertility.Others say it has to do with the festival of .luno Februata, when lots were drawn for lovers.Still other historians think it stems from a medieval belief that Feb.14 was the beginning of the mating season for birds, and thus a particularly suitable festival day for lovers.At any rate, the tradition of sending love notes on St.Valentine’s Day probably began during the late Middle Ages.Chernenko—no experience in foreign policy matters MOSCOW (AP> Konstantin Cher nenko.the new Soviet leader, has played no visible role in setting to reign policy.But his public comments suggest he will pursue a conservative line in relations with the West and Moscow's allies.In bis first public message as lea der.Chernenko made clear that So viet defence will be strengthened and that Moscow will not permit the West to gain military superiority.Chernenko succeeds Yuri Andropov.who died last Thursday Chernenko’s career before ascen ding to the Politburo did not include a government or party post in which he had a hand in setting or implementing foreign policy He was in Vienna.Austria, for a U.S.-Soviet summit in 1979 with then-president Leonid Brezhnev, who was considered Chernenko's mentor.C S.officials said Chernenko acted as a sort of aide de camp to Brezhnev In Washington, the Reagan admi nistration said it wants to work with the new Soviet leader "inestablishing a basis for greater mutual understanding and constructive co-operation.White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Vice-President George Bush, heading the U.S.delegation to Andropov's funeral, would stress U.S."commitment to peace and in parti eular to the search for mutually ac ceptablc agreements" while in Moscow Chernenko had a ill year alliance with Brezhnev, who forged Soviet po licy through 18 years as general secretary of the Communist party.Brezhnev embarked on an arms buil dup that made the Soviet I'nion the nuclear equal of the United States.Brezhnev also supported the martial law crackdown on Poland's Soli darity labor movement Chernenko discussed "relations with the capitalist countries" in his speech Monday at the Central Committee session that named him party general secretary."Great Lenin bequeathed to us.the principle of peaceful coexistence of states with different social systems." Chernenko said."We are invariably loyal to this principle.Nowadays, in the age of nuclear weapons and super-accurate missiles, people need it as ever before.” Bid.Chernenko added: "Deplorably.some leaders of the capitalist countries, to all appearances, do not clearly realize, or do not wish to realize that." In an obvious reference to the deployment ot U.S.built missiles in Western Europe.Chernenko attacked what he called "the reckless, adventurist actions of imperialism’s aggressive forces."

The Townships The RKCOHD—Tuesday.February 14.1984—3 f_____ttgl ittsconi Carpet layer insists police did not identify themselves before he opened the motel door Judge Denys Dionne agreed to allow courtroom sketchers to work at his coroner’s inquest but banished cameramen and photographers to the hallway outside.Continued from page one manutactured UZI submachine gun.Thériault said the weapon was capable of firing over 600 rounds per minute.and that a ‘discharge of 20 to 25 bullets would take about two seconds.” He said the other bullet — from a .45 calibre Colt revolver — was apparently fired when the door was “open at about a 45-degree angle.” Theriault said the pattern of bullet holes indicated the UZI was fired by “someone with experience in handling such a weapon" because he had “compensated for the gun barrel's natural tendency to lift up when fired." NOISES AND SHOUTING Edward Redden, who with his wife was occupying neighboring room 4 when the shooting occurred said he “was awakened from a deep sleep by loud noises and shouting in the hall that sounded like somebody having a fight.After I heard the noise— about one or two minutes — I heard what sounded to me like a burst from a machine gun or a jackhammer.” Redden said he pushed his wife from the bed and rolled to the floor.“After that I saw about four or five bullet holes in the wall in my room.One of them passed about an inch and a half over my head and another one whizzed by my knee.They didn't touch me but I felt them, and my head was covered by the plaster." Redden said it was after the firing stopped that he heard someone shouting “Open the door and raise your hands.This is the police.” Redden said he heard the voice “telling someone they were going to count to five.I heard them starting to count and then I heard the sound of the door opening and handcuffs being put on.There was a lot of noise — a lot of shouting.” Redden said he and his wife stayed in their room “about seven or eight minutes” until someone knocked on their door identifying himself as the police."It was a sergeant I think, he had stripes on his uniform and he asked us if we were alright and told us to wait." Redden said he counted five bullet holes in the wall of his room and said his wife found a bullet on the floor as she went to take a shower.“I brought it into the next room and gave it to a policeman.He asked me if I wanted to keep it.” Redden said he was certain he did not hear anybody identify himself as police until after the shooting had stopped.AWAKENED BY THE SOUND Jean-Paul Beaumont, who was in the room with Beaudoin said he was awakened by the sound of gunfire and opened his eyes to see his partner "moving in the bed beside mine.1 went for the floor and Serge rolled between the two beds.” Beaumont said the shooting was followed by a minute of silence.“I didn't know what was going on,” he said, “I thought about calling the police but the phone was broken.The dial was smashed.Then I heard Serge calling for help." Beaumont said someone was hollering at the door to open up.He said the voice told them they had three seconds to open the door.He said he went to the door, still not aware of who was on the other side, unhooked the security chain and opened the door.Beaumont said he and Beaudoin were brought to Sherbrooke's St-Vincent-de-Paul hospital where he was treated for a wound above his ear that “was bleeding pretty badly ” He said he informed police at the hospital Edward Redden was asleep in the next room when Beaudoin was killed.He narrowly escaped death from a stray shot.Jean-Paul Beaumont told the coroner he was awakened by ‘the sound of gunfire and the pain' of his wound.?' ’ * .that he and Beaudoin were in the Sherbrooke area installing carpets at the local Bell Canada office.He said police told him they would check on his story and would “get back to" him.“I still haven’t heard anything from them,” he said.Beaumont said the shooting in the motel “came all at once” and insisted police did not identify themselves at any time before he opened the door.He also testified that he remembered distictly having unlocked the security chain on the motel room door.BULLET-PROOF VESTS Sherbrooke police sergeant Camille Vachon testified that he was on duty the night of December 22-23 and that he was told by detective Sgt.Michel Salvail to prepare bullet-proof vests and special weapons after Sherbrooke police had received a call from Rock Forest police saying that two vehicles reported stolen in the Quebec City area had been found in Rock Forest.Vachon also said a description of two men staying at Le Chàtillon matched that of the two men being sought for the Brink’s robbery.He said he issued bullet-proof vests to Salvail, who was in charge of the Brink’s investigation.inspectors Roger Dion and André Castonguay, and two constables, he said Castonguay, a shooting instructor, was also issued the UZI.Vachon said Salvail called in “all Vachon said Salvail gave his men a detailed description of the interior lay-out of the motel room.He said no attempt was made to call either the suspect room or neighboring ones."We were operating on the strategy of surpise,” he said.Vachon said he called for two ambulances to come to the scene before the shooting occurred “as a precautionary measure.” Evidence introduced before the coroner included the motel room’s bullet-ridden door, the police weapons, photographs of the scene, and the door's broken security chain.The inquest continues today.available officers for a briefing” and that they then headed out to Rock Forest where they met with Rock Forest police Sergeant Y von Charpentier.Dr.Jean Mould told the coroner's inquest Serge Beaudoin may have been in his bed when he was shot.Townshippers’ president: We have to reason with people; nobody meant to do this to us Continued from page one for the situation on Québec language laws and their application by local employers.“I’m 45,” she said.“English-speaking people here in my generation were able to find jobs with companies like Bell Canada or other utilities, the banks and the federal civil service.But they have virtually stopped hiring young English-speaking people here.” Ambitious young English-speaking Townshippers have moved out and virtually no English-speaking people from the rest of Canada have moved to the area since the province imposed francization on businesses and limited access to English-language schools.“Enrollment in our schools,” she said, “has dropped 40 per cent since 1976.” The most pronounced decline is in the Lennoxville District School Board, where cuiuin,.-.>.i'pcu by 43 per cent.Declines (in percentage) in the other three Townships boards are: the St.Francis Protestant School Board (41), the District of Bedford Regional School Board (37) and the Eastern Townships Regional School Board (38).JOBS THE KEY Caldwell and Goodfellow agree that job-creation is a key to turning the trends around.“We are in an economically depressed area," Caldwell said.“In good times there are jobs for everybody but in a stagnant economy a young person’s chance of getting a job depends on his access to a network of contacts.” “This has become more difficult for English-speaking people since francization programs came into effect.” Goodfellow says that despite the fact young English-speaking Townshippers of today are better equipped to deal with the francization, employers in the region just aren’t giving them the chance.“Let them try.They can work in French because they are now much better prepared for it.“We must meet with our educational institutions.We must be certain they are preparing our students for jobs.We must get them to take a look at the joh market.” CAPITAL FUND Caldwell sees as a possible solution the creation of a capital fund by En glish-speaking Townshippers to be invested in their own businesses and to support local farmers who make up 10 per cent of the population.Said Goodfellow: “Like any other minority we are politically impotent.We need the support of the local French-speaking community.“We think it matters to French-speaking people here that we arc in danger of disappearing but they have to be told about it immediately.nc nave to talk to big employers y who have traditionally hired English- < speaking Townshippers and who un- h fortunately now are not.We have to S explain to employers like Bell Canada 2 and the banks and the federal gover- 2 nment that they have a responsibility § to help us.“ “We have to reason with people.Nobody meant to do this to us.It happe- ned and they just don’t understand,” Goodfellow said.“Once they do, I’m convinced they will correct the situation.” Goodfellow stresses that although some statistics confirm Townshippers’ worst fears about the erosion of their population, it is vitally impor- tant that English-speaking residents take the study positively."The most important thing is not to be scared.We must think of what we can do.’’ “There is still plenty of time to arrest the deterioration but we must not sit back.We must pull up our socks and do it.” Cary Caldwell says a special capital Jiind for employment may help Townshippers survive.Journalists flock to inquest in droves By Charles Bury J udge Dionne’s inquest has attracted journalists from all over, like a fresh pie draws flies.Represented at Monday’s hearing were from the print media ;

So much for privacy • The nice lady supervising the building insisted that the witnesses were allowed to smoke in the waiting area but not the media crews.Suddenly there were more potential witnesses, some with cameras on their shoulders, crowded around the ashtrays • Speaking of witnesses, each was asked by Judge Dionne to state his address.But the devoted policemen must really live at.as well as for their work: each police witness gave his station’s address.Are there rooming houses upstairs at 40Don Bosco and400 Marquette streets in Sherbrooke and 1701 Rue Parthenais in Montreal?• Hotshot Montreal lawyer Michel Proulx got more than he bargained for with his persistant questioning of the surviving victim Jean Paul Beau mont.Proulx repeatedly asked Beaumont to clarify one detail of a state ment he apparently gave police the day after he was shot: it was evident Beaumont couldn't remember."I ask again ” and again and again, said Proulx.“And the witness answered again," said the judge, “he can't remember! ” Violating the usual court room protocol, the delighted crowd applauded.After the next break, the bailiff announced in a loud voice, “Court is now in session; no smoking — and no applause!” • All the competition from the part-timers must have got to the widely respected journalist Normand Maltais of the crime tabloid Photo Police Long considered the dean of Québec crime writers, Maltais collapsed from what was later described as a “mild heart attack” mid-way through the hearing.He was rushed to St-Vincent de Paul hospital by one of his biggest fans, Québec Police Force public-relations officer Rene Cote He was in good condition Monday night and expects to be released today • Judge Dionne is usually known for his dour attitude, which would put many a highland Presbyterian to shame But the’honorable magistrate drew the long day’s only laugh.As a QPF expert was explaining that a Uzi 9mm submachinegun can fire up to 600 rounds a minute, the judge asked if he would kindly check to see that it was unloaded.It was.to the judge’s relief.The expert next held up a Colt .45 automatic pistol for all to see As the judge was looking down at his notes, the witness checked the handgun out as well— with a loud ‘click’.The judge jumped, the crowd tittered.His Lords hip cracked a wide, slightly sheepish smile, and got right back to business.Watchman knocked out in theft EAST ANGUS — Steve Merry has a bump on his head he’d rather forget and a man on his mind he can't remember.Merry, 18, spent Sun day in Sherbrooke’s St-Vincent de Paul hospital recovering from a head injury he received Sunday morning while keeping watch at the Wingus Garage on Route 112.A yellow Mercury Marquis with a brown top.vintage ’73 or '74, drove by the gas sta tion several times, then became sneaky, going inside to siphon their fill-up from a truck.Merry went over to check on them but before he knew what hit him he was lying un conscious on the icy ground.“He was knocked out cold," Quebec Police Force spokesman René Coté said."We don’t know what the weapon was.probably a piece of wood."

The association s work, carried out largely in its 1,800 local branches, includes voter registration, desegregation.anti discrimination, economic and prison reform programs.It has 300 lawsuits pending.But, said Georgia state Senator Julian Bond, the vibrant activ ism that accompanied the civil rights victories of the 1950s and 1960s is lacking."People just aren't as involved in civil rights as they were.' said Bond, an NAACP hoard member and president of its Atlanta branch.Bond, reached by telephone in Atlanta, said the NAACP's membership of 412,000 “should be three or four times as large.” Though it dwarfs other rights groups like them."It's had trouble selling itself,” he said EVERS MURDERED The association’s high point came in 1963, the year its Mississippi field secretary, Mcdgar Evers, was murdered Membership then was 530,000.Just about 15 per cent of the current members are younger than 21, and Representative Julian Dixon (D-Calif.i.chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said age is a serious problem for the NAACP "Young people have not been attracted to the NAACP over the past live or 10 years,” he said by telephone from Los Angeles Once the glamor jobs and the crusades are over, people say 'I'll get involved in something else' or 1 won’t get involved at all.’” ( '(impounding the NAACP's difficulties was a publicized dispute over management last year between Hooks and Margaret Bush Wilson, eventually ousted as chair man of its board.Additionally, Hooks said the association had a $900,000 deficit last year in a $7-million budget, and cut its staff of 135 by 10.GOES DEEPER Critics say a deeper problem is the NAACP’s failure to redefine its goals as civil rights progressed.And they say frustration has grown as the Reagan administration has cut social spending and opposed busing and affirmative action The NAACP was founded at the urging of New York Evening Post publisher Oswald Garrison Villur after 1908 race riots in Springfield.111.His column calling for creation of such a group appeared Feb.12, 1909, celebrated now as the NAACP’s birthday.To honor some of the folks responsible You probably didn’t hear about it, but some of the folks in Anniston, Alabama, were so impressed by the 100 jobs created locally by their Shakespeare Festival that they named the Bard Citizen of the Year.Now Bill has been dead for nearly 400 years and probably couldn't care less about the award.When Time magazine recently named Reagan and Andropov as their ' Men of the Year", at least one of them was physically, if not intellectually, around to appreciate the honor.Well, while silting around the stove at one of our local remaining businesses of major profitability and stable employment, the Québec Liquor Corporation, some of the guys got to talking.Wouldn’t it be a noble gesture to honor some of the folks responsible for bringing us to where we are today while they are still around to appreciate our applause.We could call the recognition the Tomifobia Unending Respect for Keen Efforts of the Year Award (TURKEY AWARDi and have one of the guys whittle a trophy to be given away annually at a dinner-dance honoring the winner.Of course, the event would be held at the other remaining business of major profitability and stable employment, the autoroute toll collection booth.A poll of local opinions might result in the following nominations for this important recognition: 1.Federal Revenue Minister Pierre Bussières, under whose leadership the tax collectors in Langley, B.C., emptied out an eleven-year-old’s bank account of 37 dollars.The money was taken in partial payment of $10,(100 owed the government in back taxes by his Tomifobia Tales By CHICK SCHWARTZ parents after his father allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown caused by the taxman's harassment.2.Education Minister Camille Laurin, who rather than have our school children burdened with the intricacies of learning to operate computers, has set the bureaucracy to work on one of their typical tasks of regimentation, dogmatization, franeonization, etc.The Minister’s planners doubtlessly are busy writing specifications, teaching guidelines and maybe even a new Quebec-flavored computer learning game "PEQ MAN" which will probably delay actually buying the computers for the schools until the technology has completely made the machines obsolete anyway.3.Finance Minister Parizeau, who was instrumental in taking over Asbestos Corporation about a year ago.Yesterday, the company in Thetford Mines laid of! another 34 employees, bringing the total number ot people red-slipped to over 1000.As some $40 million of our taxes were used in purchasing Asbestos, that means that our leaders in Quebec paid about $40.000 per job lost.That is surely worthy of some kind of award.4.We can’t overlook the wondrous accomplishments of his royal arrogance, Pierre.In the short span of one Prime Minister’s leadership, Canada has achieved the following: - our level of productivity has gone from number two among the industrialized nations of the world all the way up to number eleven - twice as many of our citizens draw unemployment insurance than B T (Before Trudeaui.- the consumer price index has set new records.The average price of all goods and services has more than doubled !

Mr.Editor.LAWRENCE PURDY Waterloo Beirut’s new strongman wants to ‘punish’ Gemayel HEUTKRS NEWS ANALYSIS By Andrew Tarnowski BEIRUT Shiite Moslem leader Nabih Berri, the new master of West Beirut, has long been a political moderate by Lebanese standards.But now he wants the head of Amin Gemayel.the embattled Maronite Christian president of Lebanon.His voice rising in anger, Berri says the once popular Gemayel must answer for the death and destruction wreaked by the Lebanese army on Beirut’s Shiite southern suburbs in lighting earlier this month.He says four days of shelling of the teeming slums, as troops fought off his Amal militiamen, forced 150,000 people to flee and destroyed many of their homes.No one knows how many scores of people died.Berri believes that “punishing” Gemayel and army officers should take precedence over efforts to break the political deadlock left by a swift series of political and military defeats inflicted on the American backed president.“There are rules in war; when the rules are broken you have to forget about polities,” Berri told journalists."It is Ge-mayel’s right to try to save himself and it is my right to achieve the punishment of the man who destroys the people.” Berri does not say what punishment he wants for Gemayel, but he wants him out of office — at the very least through a constitutional amendment reducing the presidential term to two years from six and leaving Gemayel only eight more months in the job.But in many other ways the 45-year-old lawyer turned politician, whose languages include fluent French and passable English, has shown moderation in victory.Berri once spent a year in the United States.His first wife and their seven children live in Detroit where he has w'ell-to-do relatives.As the first Shiite Moslem militia leader to rule West Beirut since civil war began in 1975, he is anxious to avoid alienating its largely Sunni Moslem and Christian population.He has moved fast to discipline the Shiite, Druse and Sunni Moslem militias which jointly took West Beirut and to reassure inhabitants he is no Shiite fundamentalist revolutionary like Iran’s religious leaders.News censorship enforced by Gemayel has been lifted.An army curfew imposed in West Beirut but never in Christian East Beirut has been dropped — although few people yet brave the darkened streets and sporadic shooting.Within 48 hours of the militias swarming out of the slums to seize West Beirut, Berri ordered them off the streets and deployed them against the army along the so-called Green Line frontier with Christian East Beirut.His Amal militia, the biggest and most organized group, sent out armored patrols to check roving gangs of gunmen.After a day of anarchy in which Canadian Ambassador David Jackson was robbed of a radio, the British ambassador’s residence threatened and several robberies of homes reported, West Beirut returned to a semblance of normality.Gunmen who had marched into bars and hotels to smash liquor bottles disappeared.Berri, who himself observes the Islamic prohibition of alcohol, apologized to proprietors.STOPPED GANGS Even before the first battles ended, Amal patrols stopped roving gangs from seizing a British Embassy vehicle after they had shot it up, stolen its radio equipment and threatened to break into the ambassador's residence to get the keys.Makeshift barricades were cleared from the streets and some police began responding to Bern’s call to return to duty.Berri made clear he did not want his men to act like an army of occupation.“I don’t want Amal to keep order,” he said.“I want police and security forces and soon the army in the streets.” But Berri seethes with anger at the destruction in the southern suburbs, though he does not deny Amal touched off the fighting there by overrunning an army post Feb.2.“If a position is taken from an army, the army has the right in principle to take it back,” he told Reuters news agency.“But never in my life have I heard of an army trying to take back a position by destroying a district," he added heatedly."Why did they destroy the area?Because Gemayel wanted no voice left to tell of his injustices against our people.” Military sources say the army never wanted the battle and felt trapped in a situation in which it had to retreat and lose face or cause heavy destruction by holding on.They deny opposition charges that the army had planned an offensive to seize the suburbs from Amal.An intelligence officer said the fighting was part of an opposition strategy to paint Gemayel’s American-trained army as an oppressor of the people, undermine the loyalty of Moslem troops and provoke mass desertions.ACCEPTED BATTLE But the army accepted battle, following its policy of refusing to give ground and hilling back hard when attacked.It used tanks and heavv artille against the militia’s mobile rocket launchers in the narrow streets.Military sources say army gunners dealt with gunmen in high-rise apartment buildings by destroying their positions “room by room and floor by floor.” Many homes were destroyed as shelling shattered the suburbs where about 25 per cent of Lebanon's three million population lived.Most were poor Shiites — Lebanon's underprivileged minority — who had Hocked to Beirut during years of turmoil, creating the squalid slums that Christian-dominated governments have largely ignored.The slums have been Bern’s constituency since he became leader of Amal in 1980.But he says he held his auger in check until last week, giving Gemayel every chance to seek national reconciliation, political reform and social justice.But it became too much last week, he said, as thousands of shocked survivors flooded into West Beirut with plastic bags packed with possessions to sleep in parks, hallways, cheap hotels, vehicles or any empty apartment they could find.On the fifth day the militias surged into West Beirut, climaxing a rapid chain of events that have left Gemayel isolated, powerless and close to poliical annihilation.At a weekend news conference Berri hammered home his anger.“If this (destruction) happened in your country would any ruler survive?” he snapped at American journalists.Asked if he would talk with Gemayel.he said; “Not before I see the punishment of those whocreated 150,000 refugees and unleashed destruction on 25 per cent of the country’s population.After what happened in the suburbs, no.” Farm and business The ItK('OKI)—Tuesday, February 14, 19M—5 the « #¦_ggJ mam Price stabilization plan still waiting for provinces OTTAWA (CP) — Federal officials will prepare draft legislation to establish new income stabilization plans for beef, hog and sheep farmers, but it’s too soon to say how many provinces will participate in them, says Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan.Whelan met ministers or officials from the 10 provinces until late Thursday night trying to work out details for the plans but said in an interview Friday that many provinces still have concerns.He said agreement is closest on hog and sheep plans, and they may be started while the beef programs are delayed.The new plans would create funds, supported by equal federal, provincial and farmer contributions, to shore up farm incomes when prices for livestock fall below the cost of producing them.The plans would replace existing federal income stabilization which makes payments when market prices fall below 90 per cent of the average price of the previous five years.Whelan said it will cost about $300 million to start the new stabilization plans, with Ottawa, the provinces and farmers contributing $100 million each.Farmer participation in the plans will be voluntary.The federal and provincial ministers agreed at their annual meeting last summer to study changes to the stabilization system.Ottawa, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta reached an agreement on the plan last October.Agriculture ministers from Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta attended Thursday’s meeting while Manitoba, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick sent deputy ministers.There were senior officials from the other provinces.Saskatchewan and Manitoba wanted more time to study the beef plans.Whelan said agree ment is close on cow-calf but work must be done for backgrounders and cattle feeders.Backgrounders are farmers who buy six-month-old calves and feed them hay until they are rea dy to enter a feedlot.Revenue Canada doesn’t know a ‘horse from a handkerchief VANCOUVER (CP) — Revenue Canada has raised such fear in the public mind that some farmers who attended a protest meeting in Aldergrove, B.C., last week are afraid to be identified for fear of retaliation.One, a 63-year-old Fraser Valley woman with a heart problem, said she started raising thoroughbred horses three years ago to give her 42-year-old dyslexic son a livelihood when she is no longer able to help him.She asked to remain anonymous.In three years she has bred, fed, trained and exercised three head of breeding stock and two foals while her son, who can neither read, write nor drive a car, worked outside as a janitor for $11,000 a year.“It takes three years to get a saleable product: 11 months for a mare to foal and two years until the horse is ready to run,” she said.Revenue Canada lowered the boom before the three years expired.Late last year, the woman got a letter saying her operation did not constitute a business carried on for profit or with reasonable expectation of profit and the losses she had claimed for 1981 and 1982 would not be deductible from outside income.“We never claimed more than the allowable $5,000,” she said.“It never even covered the feed, let alone fuel.“It’s a mistake, the people they sent out.A man who doesn’t know a horse from a handkerchief came to look around.I tried to explain to him that this year we have two fairly good racehorse possibilities that might make us money and give us breeding bonuses.He told me that in his opinion he didn’t see how we could expect to make a profit.” She said a Revenue Canada official has promised to take another look at the situation.Horse breeder Patricia Jackson of Aldergrove said she has heard heartbreaking stories from people trying to make a living from tiny pieces of land in the Fraser Valley.“It’s scary,” she said.“A lot of people are afraid to talk." Jackson said she has no current problems with Revenue Canada but attended the public meeting between farmers and taxation officials last Thursday “to show support for the victims.” SIGN PETITION A number of Fraser Valley farmers at the meeting signed a petition at the request of Conservative MP Bob Wenman.Airline pilot Ken Bews, who runs a 5.6-hectare raspberry farm and nursery north of Abbotsford, had just started to turn a profit when he was reassessed $7,000 for 1981 and 1982.He lost an appeal of the assessment and now intends to appeal to the courts.Meanwhile, he can not afford to hire the help he has used in previous years.“Last year I had 27 full-time employees, mostly local kids.“I work eight days a month as a pilot and the rest of the time on the farm.But they said I made too much money as a pilot to qua lify for the writeoffs.My question is, how little should 1 make before I can get the write-offs?” MP: Feds should bear proof burden in tax cases Business briefs OTTAWA (CP) — The federal taxation branch should should bear the burden of proof in any reassessments it undertakes, says Chris Speyer, MP for the Ontario riding of Cambridge and party consumer and corporate affairs critic.Speyer, who first raised the question of tax branch reassessment quotas and practices in the Commons, said many people don’t appeal reassessment of their taxes because of the cost, and “I think that, when a taxpayer is proven to be correct, then the Crown should pay the full costs of such an assessment (and appeal).“It seems to me that you shouldn’t be sentenced before you’ve had your trial — and that’s exactly what happens when you are reassessed,” he said today on the CTV program Question Period.“That’s a decision that is made within the department.“Within 30 days you have to pay up before you even get your foot in the door, before you can even challenge the validity of that assessment.” That was one change he said would be made in the Income Tax Act by a Conservative government.WOULD CUT POWERS Another would be to limit the po- wers of search and seizure enjoyed by taxation investigators.“A very important question to me is the matter of surveillance that is over all of us under Section 231 of the act, and that is with respect to the powers of search and seizure,” he said.“If we were talking about the security bill, if we were talking about the Criminal Code or if we were talking about the Narcotic Control Act, there would be wide outrage.But I don’t think people recognize the vast powers that are under the Income Tax Act not only to seize property but also the tremendous surveillance on people under the act.” Under the act, the Revenue Department can seize assets, attach wages, demand financial records and assess penalties, all without reference to a court.He also would like the act to be simplified to prevent inadvertent, accidental errors that end up with reassessments of people who never intended to cheat or break the law.He said he had been told by a taxation expert that half the 15 million taxpayers in the country required help from tax consultants to fill in their personal returns — “a tremendous number of people.” N.S.land being wasted—experts AMHERST, N.S.(CP ) — Too little of Nova Scotia’s arable land is being used for farming and too much good farmland is being lost to urban sprawl, the province’s agricultural experts say.The Nova Scotia Institute of Agrologists on Sunday urged the provincial government to solve the problem by developing a land-use policy and establishing a land-use resources board.The institute made the recommendations in a policy brochure.Nova Scotia has a potential 1.1 million hectares suitable for farming, but only 178,000 hectares are being farmed, the group said.Even land that has been cleared for farming is lying idle.The institute said nearly 50 per cent of Nova Scotia’s cleared land is not being farmed, and much of it is growing back in weeds and bushes.Serious land tenure problems are making it difficult to put some acreage back into production, the group said.Often, landowners are reluctant to sell or lease idle land to farmers who may wish to expand their operations.The group is concerned that the government has been encouraging development of rural homebuilding by providing tax advantages.Rural municipalities can have lower tax rates than towns and cities because the province pays the entire bill for programs such as roads and police protection.The group said nonfarming rural residents outnumber farmers in the province by 20 to one.EDMONTON (CP) — The Canadian Wheat Board’s initial payment for durum wheat is being raised by $15 a tonne.Senator Hazen Argue, minister responsible for the wheat board, announced Wednesday.The increase, effective Feb.20, brings the initial payment for No.l Canada western amber durum to $180 a tonne from $165 a tonne.Initial payments for the four lower grades of durum also go up $15 a tonne.Argue also told the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting he hopes legislation can be taken through the current session of Parliament to ensure a payout this year from the $900-million Western Grain Stabilization Fund.The mechanics of the fund prevent a payout despite relatively weak grain prices and rising farm costs.“I think there’s general determination that amendments will be brought in at the current session of Parliament to make the act more sensitive to western needs and to make a payout in the near future,” Argue said.The new schedule of initial payments for amber durum wheat: No.l Canada western amber durum in store at Thunder Bay or Vancouver, $180 a tonne; No.2, $177.21 a tonne; No.3, $175.21 a tonne; No.4, $159.21 a tonne; No.5, $153.21 a tonne.• DRUMMOND-VILLE — Cascades Inc.showed spectacu- lar increases in sales and profits in 1983, offi-cials of the paper company said Friday.Net consolidated profits were up almost 65 per cent to $4,165,000 this past year compared with $2,527,000 in 1982, while sales increased nearly 80 per cent, going from $34 million in 1982 to $62 million in 1983.All three sectors of the company contributed to its good showing, with the paper sector leading the packaging and construction material sectors in sales.The paper sector got a boost from the purchase of Kraft Paper plant in East Angus in September.Cascades Inc.should continue its rapid growth in 1984 thanks to its recent purchase of Johns-Mansville Corporation’s shares in Kingsey-Falls Inc., the eventual purchase of a carton plant in Jon-quières and the

Hamilton doctor who specializes in treating old age.Dr.Ronald Bayne, president of the Canadian Association of Gerontology, said there is evidence that humans are getting close to living as long as is possible.“It now appears that genetically we seem to be slated not to get much beyond 110 no matter what we do to preserve health and live to our fullest lifespan potential,’’ Bayne said last week That’s not bad considering the longest a horse or an elephant can live is about 60 years, while a chimpanzee’s lifespan only stretches to 40.However, 110 isn’t that old for tortoises, which have lived more than 170 years in captivity.Bayne said there is no question that more and more Canadians are living longer and enjoying old age more.Currently, the life expectancy for a male is 71 years, while females born this year can expect to live an average of 78 years.WILL IMPROVE “And that’s according to health care standards available today.There’s no doubt the two figures will improve as the newborns of today grow up,” said Bayne.One main reason is that deaths from major killers, such as heart and kidney disease, have decrea- sed 20 per cent in the last two decades in Canada.Bayne said it is possible that more than half of all Canadians will live to between 90 and 110 years in the near future.“Throughout history there have been people who made it to their 90s or past 100.The only thing is that now there will be more and more of them.” The latest statistics indicate that not only do more people see their 65th birthday, but life ex- pectancy for people of that age is increasing.Canadian men who hit 65 can expect to live an average of 14 years more.Women survive 18 years after age 65.Bayne also said gerontologists hope more of the people who live into their 70s and 80s will be healthy and alert enough to live independently.He said people have to start getting used to the idea that life doesn’t end at age 65.Book links athletic performance to what athletes eat TORONTO (CP) Eat what you are.That’s the gospel Dr.Robert Haas preaches to both recreational and world-class athletes in his book Eat to Win The Sports Nutrition Bible.Haas, a Miami resident, is a clinical nutritionist who has advised athletes such as tennis stars Martina Navratilova and Jimmy Connors and Montreal triathletes Sylviane and Patricia Puntous.The twins gained prominence last October after finishing 1-2 respectively among women in the Ironman triathlon — an endurance test involving running, bicycling and swimming — in Hawaii.Haas writes that the key to reaching peak athletic performance is to base one’s diet on the sport or activity involved.While the program is aimed at those striving to excel in athletics, Haas said it can improve health generally.Indeed, in the introduction to the book, Haas makes his program sound almost as if it were a cure-all.“Weekend athletes,” he writes, “even those with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis have improved their speed, strength, endurance and health to overcome serious health problems and win local sports competitions.” COULD HELP But the book would be helpful for any active individual seeking nutritional advice.Unlike some diet books that outline one rigid plan for weight loss, Eat to Win lists five main diet programs that cover 14 sports, each requiring a wide range of energy expenditure.— Jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing, cycling and swimming.— Tennis and other racket sports.— Weightlifting and weight resistance (machine) training.— Ice hockey, soccer, football, basketball, boxing and karate and other martial arts.— Golf.For instance, nutritional advice Haas would give a professional golfer would differ from the counselling he would give a hockey pro.LIMIT CALORIES Golf involves little or no aerobic activity and burns few calories.But, under stress, a golfer's blood sugar level can plummet, leading to lack of concentration.Haas says “the special brain chemicals that improve concentration and brain-to-muscle communication must be present in optimal quantities for championship play.” He advises golfers to carry a source of carbohydrate, such as an apple or banana, while playing to help stabilize blood-sugar levels.On the other hand, hockey is an aerobic activity that consists of bursts of explosive energy, with some rest or low-energy periods.Therefore, Haas writes, a hockey player wmuld require more calories and the right mixture of protein, fat and carbohydrates to help build, maintain and replenish injured or torn muscle tissue.ONE NOT COVERED One sport Haas doesn’t provide a sample eating plan for is the triathlon, a gruelling discipline that consists of a 3.8-kilometre swim across open ocean, a 180.3-kilometre bicycle race and a 42.2-kilometre run, with only short pauses between events.He says he would have to work directly with athletes such as the Puntous twins because he must use computers and other technology to devise a proper program.Haas also devotes a chapter to the nutritional needs of women.Most professional female athletes require fewer calories than the average woman, he says, adding his program enables them to eat more food — up to six meals a day — that is less fattening.He shies awray from iron supplements, but says active women should consume at least three to seven cups of iron-rich foods such as beans, peas or lentils every week.Women involved in contact sports such as basketball or martial arts should eat even more.Eat to Win — The Sports Nutrition Bible by Dr.Robert Haas.Published by McClelland and Stewart: $20.95.N.B.status of women council wants system changes FREDE RICTON (CP) — A poster contest in the Campbellton area in northern New Brunswick offered two prizes for the best artwork: the first prize for a boy was a Vic-20 computer while the winning prize for a girl was a Barbie dollhouse.Feminists call that sex stereotyping and the New Brunswick Advisory Council on the Status of Women says there is still too much of it in the province’s schools.“Women are economically disadvantaged in this country .there is still a 40-per-cent wage gap for women which translates into 60 cents in their pay packet for every $1 that men earn, ” Myrna Richards, vice-chairman of the council, said in an interview.social notes Engagement Mr.and Mrs.Lewis

DISCOUNT ON PICKUP ORDERS “As we examine the reasons for the wage gap, we see that women are frequently in job ghettoes which are female dominated and low' paid.They are not reaching into the highly paid trades and professions which are male dominated and we come back again and again to the situation in the schools.” Richards and council chairman Madeleine LeBlanc say the school system is riddled with sexism.Discrimination may not be as obvious as it was 20 years ago, they say, butin the very make-up of the teaching and administrative staff, in the curriculum and in the textbooks, sex stereotyping is still there.BOYS IN SCIENCE “If you have 100 boys and 75 girls at the Grade 12 level why is it you may have 80 boys and only 20 girls in a particular science?” LeBlanc asked.The council, which advises the provincial government on women’s issues, feels there are subtle forces at work, channelling boys and girls into school and community college courses that fit traditional views of a woman’s and man’s role in society.Richards, who is also a teacher, says too many New Brunswick schools steer boys into industrial arts and girls into h o m e -economics classes, despite demonstrated successes when these courses are coeducational.And Richards says the school system itself is not a good role model.Sixty per cent of New Brunswick’s school teachers are women but little more than 20 per cent are principals.Bert Hanratty, presi-dent of the New Brunswick Teachers’ Association, admits there are too few women in administrative positions in the New-Brunswick school system.“There are many more administrators now who are male, but I don’t like to think there is bias in selection of these people.We have trouble getting female applicants.” WANT STUDY The council took its complaints to the ministers responsible for education and community colleges in New Brunswick and asked, among other things, for a study of the situation, a review of textbooks and the hiring of a women’s education co-ordinator.Education Minister Clarence Cormier welcomed the council’s brief but warned changes will not come overnight.“This is not anything new and we’ve been trying for the last few years to change the situation,“Cormier said in an interview.“The council must understand it takes time: it’s not the will that is lacking, but the means and attitudes in society “The schools only have the students five hours a day, 10 months a year.Communities, families and churches must all play a role in changing attitudes.” Community Colleges Minister Mabel De-Ware says illustrations in college calendars w'ill be changed so they no longer show only men working in mechanics classes and women in child-care seminars.But she feels things have changed and her own position as an elected member and cabinet minister indicates women do have the opportunity to advance in what is es-sentially a man’s world.“I think women now have the opportunity to do anything they want to if they set their minds to it .we have shown we are capable and can do the same job as a man.” FIRST CHOICE TRANSVISION LENNOXVILLE WATERVILLE presents * FIRST CHOICE ENJOY THE MOVIE THEATER IN YOUR LIVING ROOM

friends.He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.He was born on August 28,1912 at Leeds Village, Que., the eldest son of the late Charlie Robertson and his wife, the late Ruth Sullivan.He was

on Jan.12 with the Rev.Douglas Warren officiating, who spoke comforting words to the family.Organ music was played by Claude Bernier and a favorite hymn of the deceased was sung, All the Way My Saviour Leads Me.The words of this hymn told of the life pattern he had followed.Bearers were three nephews, Terry Howell, John Kinghorn and Terry Marlin, and three friends, Harold Nutbrown, Dufferin Annesley and Fred Walker.Interment was in Malvern Cemetery close to other members of the family.The many beautiful flowers and floral tributes showed the esteem in which he was held.Relatives and

Chabot shine as Habs trump Neilson’s hot Kings By Terry Scott MONTREAL (CPI - Alfie Turcotte seems to have all the makings of a goal scoring specialist.The Montreal Canadiens rookie is still seeing limited ice time, but ob viously the moments are well spent.The results were two goals his fifth and sixth — for the second straight game Monday night, as the Canadiens earned a 5-3 National Hockey League triumph over Los Angeles Kings.That isn't an easy task these days.With three victories and three ties since Roger Neilson became their head coach, the Kings were the hot test club in the NHL next to W'ashing ton Capitals."Your game is never perfect.'' sail) Turcotte, the 18-year old, who was spared a return to Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Junior League a few' weeks ago because Montreal ge neral manager Serge Savant said he was a major plank in the team s re building process."I can do a lot more things."One goal against me tonight was strictly my fault.” Presumably, Turcotte was referring to the Kings' third goal, a shot from the point by Brian MacLellan that found its way through a forest of legs, including those of goaltender Ri chard Sevigny.Canadiens coach Rob Berry must have felt the same as Turcotte, because it was the rookie's final appearance of the night.SHORT SHIFTS In his two-goal performance last Saturday, Turcotte was used sparingly in the third period.His shifts in many of the 15 games in which he has appeared have been less than one mi nute.tînt, prior to the Kings’ third goal.Turcotte had done a large share of the work.After Doug Smith provided Los Angeles with a 2-0 lead witha pair of goals at : Cross counlry skiing Women ' t«5 k"i"“-ite relay 3am Figure skating Women* impi - 1- 1 am Hockey Norway at Ai sIim 7 » m luted States vs
