By Merritt Clifton BEDFORD — Hydro-Québec may have moved to secure some rights-of-way for its new power corridor to Highgate, Vermont even before announcing their $600 million, 10-year energy sale on March 8.But that won’t necessarily mean the line goes through without resistance.Hydro has plenty of routing options between the Riceburg (Bedford) substation and Highgate, about 10 miles Anti-sealers fear more violence, won’t return HAVRE-AUX-MAISONS.Que.(CP) — An insurance adjuster is scheduled to arrive here today to examine a riot-damaged helicopter but seal hunt protestors who own the aircraft won’t return because they fear for their safety.“I d like to go back but it’s not a wise thing to do,’’ Dan Morast, spokesman for eight American members of Massachusetts-based International Fund for Animal Welfare, said in a telephone interview from Charlottetown Monday.Quebec provincial police have guaranteed the safety of any fund member.contractor or erew'man who wanted to return to this Iles-de-la-Madeleine community, but Morast said the group feared violence from individuals rather than a repeat of mob action it they return.“Who can say what some lone person might do?” Even a stronger police presence on Iles-de-la-Madeleine is not an absolute guarantee of safety, he said.“It appears Quebec has responded with sufficient numbers (of officers) to maintain law and order,” said Morast, whose group was monitoring the Riot cops save Bérubé conference MONTREAL (CP) — Riot police had to be called Monday after college students and teachers protesting new school regulations broke up a news conference by Education Minister Yves Berube.Berube, shifted to the Education Department from the Treasury Board in a cabinet shuffle last week, had just started to speak when a crowd of about 70 burst past department officials and swarmed into the conference room of a downtown hotel.The chanting demonstrators surrounded Berube’s table and shouted him down and a shoving match ensued \yhen they tried to follow him into another room.Scuffles broke out between police officers and demonstrators who tried to explain their action.A 30-man riot squad was then called to clear the hotel, but most demonstrators had left before police reinforcements arrived.There were no arrests or injuries.The demonstration was organized by the National Association of Quebec Students and two teachers’ unions who say a new set of regulations will “devalue” education in Quebec’s junior colleges.Under the new regulations, colleges will be required to set up standard policies for evaluating students rather than leaving the responsibilty with teachers.REMOVES LIBERTIES “It will require colleges to have a uniform system of marking students,” said Paul Jones, vice-president of the National Teachers Federation.“It takes away one of our fundamental academic liberties.” Teachers have complain the regulations require them to submit teaching plans for each course in accordance with government-approved outlines.Patrice Legendre, president of the students’ association, told reporters his association had been trying without success for several days to arrange a meeting with Berube.After Monday’s incident, a meeting was promised, he said.The news conference resumed about 90 minutes after it was broken up, with Berube explaining the government regulations.He dismissed teachers’ complaints about the teaching plans, saying a student’s right to know what he is learning should be given priority over a teacher’s yright to control contenL annual seal hunt many islanders depend on for part of their livelihood.In incidents over the weekend, mobs forced the four-man helicopter crew to give up film and video tapes of the hunt in the Gulf of St.Lawrence, and attacked and overturned the helicopter.“There is no danger here now,” Lieut.Andre Levesque, head of the reinforced Quebec provincial police unit here, said in a telephone interview.“I don’t know why they (fund members) wouldn't come back,” he said.“I don’t see any problems in the next while.” Levesque said police have chosen to let tempers cool before pressing their investigation into the incidents.No charges have been laid.Morast said the insurance adjuster would assess damage to the $375,000 Bell Jet Ranger helicopter.“I know you cannot repair that aircraft” at Havre-Aux-Maison.He said the fund was having trouble finding a replacement helicopter because aviation companies were reluctant to charter to them.The adjuster and a member of the fund’s board of trustees would negotiate with provincial police and federal Transport Department authorities to determine what will happen to the helicopter, said Morast.Levesque said it was possible it would be taken off the island by a large cargo aircraft, but nothing could be done until the weather improves.AIRPORT CLOSED The local airport was closed Monday because of high winds.Poor weather also forced cancellation of a strategy meeting by local seal hunters.Though officials have been reluctant to say exactly how many officers have been called in to reinforce regu-lar provincial police and RCMP squads, 20 provincial policemen were reported to have arrived Sunday.Trouble first flared Friday when a mob forced the helicopter crew to abandon the aircraft and give up films and videos.The mob also smashed some equipment, including $5,000 worth of cameras.On Sunday, about 100 people — some wearing masks — attacked the helicopter, grounded for lack of fuel because the dealer refused to supply them.The aircraft was struck with bottles, clubs and chainsbefore it was tipped onto its side.About 13 provincial police and RC M P officers were powerless to stop the attack.None of the fund members were injured, but all eight flew to Charlottetown because they feared for their safety.Members of the organization have been in constant touch with the U.S.Consulate in Quebec City and are considering legal action.The group claims to have 500,000 members worldwide and is one of the key groups behind a campaign to get British and American restaurants to-boycott Canadian fish products to force Canada to end the annual seal hunt.south.But some options would take the line through some of the best su-garbush in Quebec.If the line dodges the sugarbush, it could wind up almost in Brome-Missisquoi MNA Pierre Paradis' back yard.Located at the junction of 125-kv lines from Cowansville and Farnharn, the substation is closer to Bedford than to tiny Riceburg.The new power corridor will have to start directly south, rather than southwest toward destination, in order to skirt housing developments at Bedford's southern fringe.From there it will go crosscountry, passing between Campbell Corners to the east, Mitchell Corners to the west.Entering, Vermont just south of St.Armand, the line could then follow an abandoned railroad right-of-way on into Highgate.In addition to avoiding sugarbush.the Hydro-Québec line will cross nu merous minor tributaries to the Pike and Missisquoi rivers.These include Dutch Creek.Groat Brook, Meigs Brook, Williams Brook, Brandy Brook, Crosset Brook, and the Roche River.Hydro Quebec began informing farmers who might be affected at the March 7 regional meeting of the Québec Farmers’ Association.Hydrospokesman Richard Nault claimed that Vermont had become

Townships Monday, promising a new pragmatic, political approach based on stability and co-operation with Ottawa.Bourassa spoke in Sherbrooke to 170 party faithful who paid $125 a plate at a fundraising dinner.Although the former premier said fundraising was the main reason he was here, he didn’t pass up the chance to blast the Parti Québécois for what he called immorality, incompetence and blindness in its past performance.“Obviously the main reason I am here is fundraising.We have to have the most effective propaganda machine and that takes money,” he said But look at the government, he said.“What example do we have of competence, of advance planning?” “What immorality in relations with the public!” STOP THE ABUSE The English-speaking population has been one of the hardest hit by those relations Bourassa said following his speech.What would the he and thé Liberal party do differently?"I would stop the abuse.We are Canadians, for the Canada clause.” "We would

— The ranks of the brown-bag brigade are expected to swell today as restaurant and bar owners and employees march on the national assembly in Quebec City to protest a new government law taxing tips.About 75 per cent of restaurants across the province will be closed between 8 a.m.and 6 p.m.EST and organizers expect up to 10.000 will turn out for the noon-hour demonstration.A common front of tavern, bar and restaurant employers and suppliers took out full page ads in several Quebec dailies Monday, announcing they would be closed for the day and urging their customers to “take their lunches." Today's protest was timed to coincide with the reconvening of the national assembly after a three-month winter break."Everybody is against this law," said Alain Cretan, a protest organizer and spokesman for the 12.000-member Quebec Restaurant Association which has come out four-square against the legislation that came into effect Jan.1.Restaurant and bar employees across the province will be bused to Quebec City in the morning.Creton said he exects the protest to affecta bout 7,500 bars and restaurants for the better part of the day.Creton said the protest organizers want the government to suspend Bill 13 and to meet with food and beverages officials to find “a more viable solution.” Feelings have been running high among restraurant owners and workers over the legislation for several months.“Some common front members.e-ven suggested we close down for a week,” said Creton.The government passed the law to crack down on so-called "tip fraud” and expects the law to generate an additional $40 million in revenue.Under the law, waiters, waitresses and bartenders must declaretheir tips at every pay period and have their taxes deducted from their pay-cheque.Restaurant employees used to declare their tip income only once a year, when they filed their income tax returns.Bill 43 obliges employers to ensure the government receives taxes on tips equal to at least eight per cent of the establishment's total sales Restaurant owners, who have won the support of the Quebec Chamber of Commerce for their walkout, complain the new law adds to their paperwork and is hurting their busi ness which hasn't yet recovered from the recession.“Bill 43 will lead to layoffs and bankruptcies.” said Chamber director Marcel Tardif.How can the government expect to control tips?No waiter knows ahead of time how much he will make in tips.But the government assumes it is eight per cent ” ‘Written-off Hart eroding Mondale’s southern support WASHINGTON (CP) — Walter Mondale and his backers in the Democratic party establishment face a kind of moment of truth today — a decision by rank-and-file members in nine states on who they want to lead them in next November’s presidential election.But polls in advance of today’s so-called Super Tuesday primary elections and district caucuses gave the Mondale camp little reason for optimism.Voters willing to state their preferences indicated Hart s momentum continuing to grow in three crucial states of the Deep South where the senator from Colorado was only recently written off as a serious challenger.Polls indicated Hart would win handily in Florida and running neck-and-neck with Mondale in Georgia.Only in Alabama did Mondale appear to have a lock on victory, but even there Hart’s support has been growing.The leaders concentrated their closing efforts in the three states Monday, as they did last week, because each needs to demonstrate votegetting clout in the South — hotbed of conservative philosophy so favorable to President Reagan.Hart, who has won four of the first five such state competitions over the last three weeks, said Monday he is hoping for further gains, but "I refuse to project or predict” the outcome of Super Tuesday.Mondale, considered an almost unassailable front-runner after winning the opening contest Feb.20 in Iowa, has been desperately trying to slow Hart's momentum Mondale, the man who set out with the official blessing of Democrat power brokers, including organized labor, challenged Hart to a series of de- bates before the next major nominating primary March 20 in Illinois and all subsequent major state contests running into June.The challenge planted the idea with the public that Mondale expects to remain in the running after today.It also smacked of a desperation attempt to cut down a Hart lead widened by opinion polls in the last few days.Hart and Mondale both changed earlier plans and added appearances in Georgia, Alabama and Florida on the eve of party voting in those three states.Senator John Glenn of Ohio, wooing white conservative Democrats, and black preacher-politician Jesse Jackson, courting black liberal Democrats, also campaigned in the South following a televised allcandidates debate in Atlanta on Sunday in which Hart fought off attacks from his rivals.Former senator George McGovern of South Dakota campaigned in Mas sachusetts, the only state that voted for him in his failed run for the presidency against Richard Nixon in 1972.But recent polls showed Hart well ahead in that state.A poll by Harrison and Goldberg Inc.for the Boston Globe on Monday showed Hart with a 42-27 per cent lead over Mondale.Glenn had nine percent, while McGovern.who has indicated he will quit the race if he fails to win in Massachusetts, trailed with only six per cent.Jackson was listed at four per cent and eight per cent were undecided SELEC TS DELEGATES The contests in Massachusetts and the three southern states, as well as those in Hawaii.Nevada.Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Washington state, will select delegates to the Democratic party leadership convention July 16-19 in San Francisco.Presidential candidate liary

his campaign for the Liberal leadership.Although Turner is not scheduled to announce his candidacy until Friday, it was learned Monday that Heather Peterson, a Trudeau aide, and Dennis Baxter, a CBC reporter in Ottawa, have left their jobs to join the former finance minister’s campaign team.Peterson is to be named Friday as Turner s campaign director and Bax 1er as his communications director.Several cabinet ministers are also poised to join the race within the next two weeks Energy Minister Jean Chretien generally assumed to be Turner's main competitor - should make his intentions known within a week, says Quebec back-bencher Antonio Ya-nakis.Yanakis would not say what Chretien’s intentions are, but the Trois-Rivières daily Le Nouvelliste today quoted unidentified workers in Chretien's riding of St Maurice saying the energy minister will announce his candidacy next week, once Turner’s announcement is out of the way.Violence flares at mines as British workers

go," said Jack Price, Munro’s campaign manager."I know he wants to go." Agriculture Minister Eugene Whe- lan and Health Minister Monique Begin are scheduled to announce their decisions Saturday, and International Trade Minister Gerald Regan and Treasury Board President Herb Gray in the next two weeks.Regan predicted Monday that Turner will lead the pack on the first ballot at the leadership convention June 14-17 in Ottawa.Regan also predicted that Chretien would place second and that third spot could be "an interesting battle” between himself and Transport Minister Lloyd Axworthy.“It would be an interesting battle for the third spot on the first ballot between myself and Mr.Axworthy because we would both have the ad vantage of a regional base.” FAVORITE SONS?Regan, a former Nova Scotia premier, could surface as the Atlantic provinces’ favorite candidate and Ax worthy, a Manitoban, as the Western favorite.Neither Chretien nor Axworthy have said whether they will run, and Regan offered no predictions about how any of these potential contenders would fare on subsequent ballots.Regan said he has no desire for a ‘mission impossible" and will run only if he feels he can win.He said he believes both MacGuigan and Johnston have entered the race knowing they cannot win.Talk of the Liberal leadership spilled over into the Commons Monday when Progressive Conservative MP Ray llnatyshyn said cabinet ministers campaigning for the leadership should resign their posts if they contradict government policy.Both MacGuigan and Johnston said the kinds of policies they are espousing build on.rather than tear down, existing government policies.News-in-brief Parizeau proud of prospects Acid control total soars Bobbies brave another bomb LONDON (Reuter) — More than halt of Britain's 170 coal mines were idle today because of a strike union leaders said involved 100,000 of the country's 180,000 miners.Mick McGahey, vice-president of the National Union of Mineworkers, Monday night predicted a total stoppage throughout the country by the end of the week.Expected rebellions in Scotland and South Wales, where pithead votes had shown strong feelings against the strike, failed to materialize when miners reporting for work refused to

means abrupt stop FREDERICTON (CP) — Wilfred Everett thought he was getting his problems under control when he slammed into the ground at 160 kilometres an hour.Everett, 34, of the Fredericton area, doesn't remember what happened after he crashed into a dirt and gravel parking lot six weeks ago while skydiving with friends in Tampa, Fla.Everett jumped out of a plane at 4,000 metres, assumed the prone skydiving position and floated down to about 1,067 metres where he tried to open his parachute.That's when things started to go seriously wrong.T didn’t feel’that usual satisfying tug at your shoulders as your parachute opens above you.So I checked over my shoulder and looked and saw what was happening,” he said from a hospital bed in Fredericton where he is convalescing.“I figured I had lots of time and I could pull out the rest of my main parachute and it would inflate .I thought I could fix what was wrong but I made the cardinal sin of skydiving: I was so busy with what I was doing that I took my eyes off the ground and I just ran out of time.” Lyle Presse of Fredericton was watching from the ground when his friend got into trouble.“People were coaching him on, yelling at him to pull the reserve chute .but then there’s a time when you know it’s too late and he’s going in and about 75 feet up I realized who it was, a real good friend of mine .I ran off in a dead run to where he was going to land, I was one of the first people there, I looked, and then kept the crowd away,” Presse said “There was no doubt in my mind that he was dead.” Four Armenian Canadians charged in

Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau is encouraged by a public opinion poll giving his Parti Québécois government a 31-per-cent popularity rating.The poll, done by the Centre de recherche sur l’opinion publie for La Presse, gave the Liberals under Robert Bourassa a 61-per-cent rating.Parizeau said Monday that the poll, conducted in February, gave the PQ a total gain of 12 percentage points the party rose seven points while the Liberals dropped five — over the results of a similar CROP poll in November.“Another two or three polls like that and we will be ready to win an election — with Mr.Levesque as leader,” he said, noting that Premier Rene Levesque, with a 35-per-cent popularity rating, is more popular than the party.Léger’s lancers down on Queen MONTREAL (CP) —The fledgling Parti Nationaliste, a federal offshoot of the Parti Québécois, says its candidates in the next federal election will run on a platform that calls for abolition of the monarchy and an increase in the powers of the Quebec government.Party founder Marcel Leger, a former PQ cabinet minister, said at a news conference Monday that Canada should become a republic and neither the Supreme Court nor the Federal Court should have any jurisdiction over Quebec.Freak storm sounds like crash HALIFAX (CP) — Search and rescue officials believe what happened off southwestern New Brunswick late Sunday night may have resulted from freak atmospheric conditions.But they aren’t taking any chances.A Buffalo search aircraft spent the early hours of this morning combing an area over Campobel-lo Island, Grand Manan Island and Eastport and Lubee on the northeastern tip of Maine after scores of people reported hearing a plane crash.Major Ken Miller of the Search and Rescue Coordination Centre said reports from many people are essentially the same.A multi-engined aircraft was heard flying low over the area.Then there was the sound of an explosion and flashes lit up the night sky.A lighthouse keeper at Black’s Harbour, N.B., reported seeing flares.Pope short on gender protocol WATERLOO, Ont.(CP) - The absence of women in top

properly and return to fresh water prematurely.WASHINGTON (CP) — Ontario Environment Minister Andy Brandt says the acid rain controls program announced by the federal and provincial governments last week will probably cost more than $1 billion, including $500 million alone to cut sulphur dioxide emissions at the Inco Ltd.nickel-smelting plant in Sudbury, Ont.In an interview, Brandt was reluctant to tally the potential costs of the controls program “because it’s a little too early to do that,” but he volunteered the $500 million Ineo figure and agreed the total cost will exceed $1 billion, although “I don’t like to get hooked on the numbers.” Third party did a lot of walking BEDFORD, N Y.(AP) — Telephone bandits using credit-card numbers of two families ran up more than $170,000 in

whose defence of the NDP will be published in the next issue of Toronto’s This Magazine, and Laxer were both members of the now-^dcfunct radical and nationalist Waffle wing of the NDP.In his 171-page confidential report to the NDP federal caucus, Laxer said the party’s policy is seriously inadequate, contradictory, short-sighted and ideologically ambivalent.The party has continued to embrace Keynesian economic theories from the 1950s and 1960s, although the changing economic environment has rendered them obsolete, said Laxer, an economics professor at York University and author of several books.Laxer urged the party to rethink its economic position, develop an industrial strategy addressing the role of the private sector and reconsider its decision to focus on unemployment rather than inflation as the main eco nomic problem.ALTERNATIVE WORSE In a 14-page response, Watkins agrees with Laxer’s argument that Keynesian theories alone are inade- quate, but rejects the notion they should be abandoned.While admitting the NDP may have stuck with Keynesianism too long, Watkins said other political parties have done worse by resorting to reactionary policies from an earlier period The strongest criticism is directed at Laxer’s comments on inflation.Watkins says the left cannot accept right-wing plans for reducing inflation knowing greater unemployment will follow.The other option, described as an incomes policy or wage-and-price controls, may look great on paper but always degenerates into wage restraints and wage controls, he says.“What should the left do?” Watkins asks.“Pending the articulation of a comprehensive alternative, it is wholly appropriate to tell the public that it should give higher priority to fighting unemloyment than to fighting inflation.’’ He also criticizes Laxer for advising the labor movement to support technological change and abandon its reliance on the adversarial system.“At a time when the labor movement is already sufficiently beleaguered by the real ravages of unemployment, wage rollbacks and membership losses, Laxer has risked playing into anti-union sentiment within and without the NDP.” Watkins agrees the party has made only a hall-hearted attempt to promote economic nationalism and admits the NDP’s response lo the national energy program was not its ”fi nest hour”.But he says Laxer was less than candid when he promoted economic nationalism without acknowledging the political fallout that would follow.^ i The Townships The RECORD—Tuesday, March 13, 1984—3 —__tel mam Wedding aborted because Jean-Guy Grégoire fell ill, court is told tosts were completed he would ko to his bank and straighten everything By Michael MeDevitt SHERBROOKE — As 47 year-old Jean-Guy Grégoire prepared tor his wedding to 20 year-old former employee Louise Turcotte on July 9,1983, he was still married to his first wife and had no money in the bank, a Sherbrooke court was told Monday.Thirteen days later, on July 22, Tur-c°tte was found dead in her bed and Grégoire stood accused of second-degree murder.Diane Turcotte, Louise's sister, testifying on the third day of Grégoire s trial, told the court Monday that the planned ceremony did not take place as scheduled because Grégoire, claiming to have forgotten the wedding ring in Sherbrooke, returned to the city from Cookshire with his fiancée s brother, fell ill and had to be taken to hospital.He remained there until early the following morning.Turcotte told the court that she first met the accused in the fall of 1982 at her parents’ house in Cookshire at a celebration of their 35th anniversary.A guest of Louise, Grégoire was introduced to the family as “her boss” even though, unknown to the family, Louise had been laid off the proceeding summer.Soon after that, Diane said, it became apparent to the family that the couple were “going out together”.Turcotte said Grégoire was accepted by the family despite the differences in the couple's ages, and when Grégoire asked her father for permission to marry Louise in February 1983.it was granted."Louise seemed surprised when he asked,” Turcotte told the court, “It didn’t seem to me that she knew he was going to do it.She seemed happy enough, though.” Gisèle Turcotte, another sister, told how she, her husband and Louise all went out for dinner in April to celebrate Grégoire’s divorce.She described the relationship between Grégoire and Louise as a happy one, and recalled how Grégoire had once told her "he could refuse Louise nothing.” Collette Lavoie, a lawyer who represented Grégoire’s wife, testified that divorce proceedings were begun on May 4, 1983 and that a hearing had been scheduled for July 15.This was delayed due to Grégoire’s failure to show' up in court and re-scheduled for July 22.the day of Turcotte’s death.POSED FOR WEDDING PICTURES In describing the events of July 9, the day of the aborted wedding, Diane Turcotte told how the couple had spent the afternoon posing for wedding pictures outside the Turcotte family home in Cookshire until Grégoire suddenly claimed to have forgotten the wedding ring in Sherbrooke.Grégoire left with Louise’s brother Denis “because Jean-Guy was too nervous to drive." She said the family then went to the Cookshire church where the ceremony was to take place and there learned that Gré- Jean-Guy Grégoire.His relationship caused trouble.goire had been taken to hospital They also learned that the church was una w'are of the wedding plans and that the ceremony had not been scheduled.Denis Turcotte described bringing Grégoire back to Sherbrooke, first to his office at the Commission scolaire regional de I'Estrie.and then to his apartment on Bellevue Street, where Grégoire asked him to vvait in the car.After waiting for about an hour.Turcotte convinced the building superintendent to let him into the apartment where he found Grégoire “lying face down on the living room floor.His lace was all red and he seemed to be paralysed.He looked half-dead." Turcotte phoned an ambulance and Grégoire was taken to the CHUS.Meanwhile, back in Cookshire, the family, having been notified of this turn of events, decided to continue on to Sherbrooke’s Auberge des Gouverneurs where a reception hall had been reserved.According to Diane Tur cotte, this decision was taken "because there were over a hundred people invited, the band had been hired and the meal w'as already prepa red.We still hoped that Jean-Guy would be able to show up there." Diane said Turcotte was obviously upset at the way things had worked out but managed to stay at the party until everybody left early in the morning at which time she went up to the hospital to pick up Grégoire.$13,000 CHEQUE DISCUSSED Diane Turcotte then described a meeting at the CHUS where Grégoire had returned for tests on July 20, between herself, Louise and the girls’ father where money wras discussed.The elder Turcotte wanted to find out about a $13,000 check Grégoire had given him as payment for a piece of land on which Grégoire had already begun construction of a house.The cheque had been returned because of insufficient funds.Diane also wanted repayment of $1400 she had spent on July 9 to cover the reception hall.Grégoire told them that as soon as his out According to Diane it was then that she and Louise went to Grégoire’s bank where they were told that "he only had about four or five dollars in his account.Louise was crying," Diane said, “but she didn't believe it".Lynda Mimeault, the bank cm ployee in charge of Grégoire's account told the court he had negotiated a $20,000 line of credit in 1980 and that there had been no problem with his finances until late in 1982.She said during 1982 Grégoire had borrowed more than $1,3,000 bringing his total indebtedness to over $17,000 and added that a request for a further $5,000 made in December 1982 had been refused.RELATIONSHIP CAUSED PROBLEMS Bruno Giard, director of educational services at the CSRE and Grégoire’s immediate superior, testified that he had known Grégoire for several years and that his work at the school commission had always been excellent until Louise began working there in the fall of 1981 as part of her high school training.He said Louise worked there until January 1982, and that she worked intermittently after that until June 1982 when she was fi nally dismissed.Giard said the relationship between Grégoire and the girl was obvious, and that it had been causing problems.He said Grégoire appeared to be in a better mood following Louise’s dismissal.Gisèle and Diane Turcotte both told the court that the family had had no idea Louise was no longer working until an unemployment cheque arrived for her while she and Grégoire were vacationing in Jamaica in December 1983.They said she had continued to get up and drive to Sherbrooke each morning, returning to Cookshire in the evening.Louise Turcotte’s body was found fully clothed in the bedroom of the Sherbrooke apartment she shared with Grégoire by Gisèle Turcotte on the afternoon of July 22.She was last seen alive earlier that morning in Gregoire’s company Grégoire was in the apartment when Gisèle, her husband and another couple arrived, and has been described as "looking like he was drugged.” There were no signs of violence.Grégoire’s trial before a jury continues today in Superior Court presided over by Mr.Justice Georges Savoie.Lawyers Danielle Cote and Jean- , Pierre Rancourt are acting for

Cantons power line underground Continued from page one nies.Take for example the forms they have to use.It’s unnecessary.The Office de la langue française must be more flexible.” The Liberal leader said he would elaborate more on policies regarding English-speaking Québecers when he returns to the Eastern Towmships March 29 for a speaking engagement with the Bishop’s University Business Club.FINISHED IN QUÉBEC Bourassa said the PQ is finished in Québec, pointing to “the two ministers" who he said have lost all credibility (the ex-premier failed to identify the mystery pair, however).And, he said.Finance Minister Jacques Pari-zeau’s economic policies have badly damaged the province and have done nothing to encourage outside investment, “Is this their economic philosophy?” he asked.“We need maximum stability for Québec, a stability for Québec in North America.” Bourassa said the rules of the game in the public sector are different now from what they were in 1970, particularly in the fields of energy and exports.There are new competitors, he said, and also new countries — such as Japan, South Korea and the Philippines — which offer new markets for an expanding industrial Québec.POLICIES CLAIRVOYANT’ Nuclear energy, not electricity, he said, is the energy of the future.That was clear even in the mid-1970s but not to the PQ.whose former policy on the sale of electricity he sarcastically called “clairvoyant”.He cited Hydro-Québec’s massive Des Cantons export power line to the United States as an example of pro- i RECORD/PERRY BEATON Robert Bourassa

land, he suggested, would be to put the whole line underground.It w'ould cost more but that could be amortized over 30 years, he said.Bourassa also slammed the PQion the independence issue, asking where, if Québec was an independent province, would it replace the money its gets from Ottawa.Would it raise the tax on gasoline again” he asked.The PQ is blind.Bourassa claimed, and is dreaming when it speaks of in-, dependence.“Why speak of independence when Canada is a whole country?” The Liberal Party of Québec on the other hand, he said, is a “pragmatic party par excellence." The formula for success is based on just such a pragmatic approach, he said.“We must arrive at a precise, practical political program as soon as possible.” “We must have a dialogue.This is absolutely necessary.” The need for this dialogue with the people of Québec was the Liberal leader’s response when asked why he wasn’t yet sitting in the Nationai Assembly.“1 feel it is better in the coming months for me to be in contact with the population.It will be better for the party and my work will be more useful there.” By Peter Scowen BROME LAKE — Gilles Laporte is back at work.The Town of Lake Brome police officer was dismissed after being found guilty of assault causing boldily harm to Sutton resident Brian Hoyt in an incident October 23, 1982.He returns to regular duties Tuesday.The Brome Lake town council passed a resolution at its regular meeting Monday officially reinstating the police officer fired July 11, 1983.The council’s hand was forced by a labor arbitrator’s decision handed down down two weeks a which ruled the firing had been too stiff a punishment for Laporte.“We had no choice but to reinstate Laporte,” said Brome Lake Mayor Homer Blackwood.“It was our intention to have him dismissed.” Laporte and partner Paul Roy were ootn lound guilty of assault after they forced Hoyt out of their squad car shortly before midnight Oct.23, 1982.They left Hoyt on the side of the road and drove off — after, they claimed, Hoyt had been abusive and refused to submit to a breathalyzer test.They left him to answer a more serious call, according to their testimnoy.Laporte was kept on duty until he was found guilty July 11.Following his dismissal, the policemen’s union filed a grievance on his behalf.The case went to arbitration and it was ruled the dismissal had been too severe.Laporte’s punishment was reduced to a one-month suspension without pay.The town now owes Laporte over $17,000 in back pay.The union filed no grievance in Roy’s case and a labor commissioner will rule April 16 whether an arbitra- tor should be called in or his behalf.Between the time of the Hoyt incident and the time he was found guilty 10 months later, Roy committed two other similar offences, one of which was reported by a fellow officer.He was dismissed following the third incident in July.MAY ABOLISH POLICE The adventures of the two officers have left the future of the Brome Lake police force in doubt.The council never hired replacements for Laporte and Roy in order to see if the town could get by without them.Town councillors claim six officers can handle the load as well as the regular eight as long as the Québec Police Force fills in the extra hours.s.Robert Bourassa.country?Why speak of indépendance when KM ORDI’I RKY III WON Canada is one Hydro lines could

have no police force and we haven't heard one complaint,” he said.Under the Québec Police Act, which governs municipalities and their police forces, no town is obliged to main tain its own force if it is populated by less than 5,000 residents — if it obtains approval from the provincial cabinet.A special meeting to discuss the policemen’s schedule and future has been set for March 26 at 8 p.m.in

the route with the least environmental impact Nault was challenged on the spot by Farnham dairyman John Bercndsen, whose cornfield was divided by a new 125-kv line last August after a four year legal battle.“Here at my place you went the longest route, through the best land,” he charged.Bercndsen challenged Nault to cite a single instance where Hydro had changed a routing plan to please a protesting farmer.Nault produced a list of instances after the meeting, but Bercndsen discovered that all of them involved a power line that was cancel led while still on the drawing board.The line crossing Berendsen’s cor nfield connects the St Cesaire substation to a new substation in Farnham s industrial park.It then joins the line from Farnham to Riceburg, in effect doubling the energy supply to Farnham and adding a third to the supply available at Riceburg for export.Be-rendsen and others had questioned the need for this line, since energy demand at both Farnham and Bedford has declined sharply over the past decade, due to declining industrial activity, with little prospect of a large future increase.Hydro-Québec spokesman Joan Marie Pelletier flatly denied that the new Farnham substation was part of an energy export plan.He told a gathering of farmers in Rainville two years ago that the substation was needed to prevent blackouts which have never been more frequent around Farnham than in any other part of the Townships."He either didn’t know himself what he was talking about, or he was lying,” Bercndsen says, with Pelletier’s claims captured on tape.Search for aircraft called Bedford man guilty of assault SUTTON (CB) — The Canadian Armed Forces have called off a search over southern Québec and northern Vermont for a light plane and its two Québec occupants missing for 11 days.Capt.Jean Marcotte, of Canadian Armed Forces St-Hubert, said Monday that nine armed forces aircraft — two fixed-wing Buffalo and seven helicopters — had taken part in the search, flying a total 397 hours.In addition, as many as 27 Ameri-can-hased civilian airplanes were also involved in the search over rugged terrain."We did everything we could,” said Marcotte.We covered everything at least three times and between 15 and 50 times in the most probable areas’.' The Cessna 206 was carrying pilot Daniel Coté of St-Hyacinthe and passenger Jacques Charlesbois of St-Pie-de-Bagot.Communications with the aircraft were lost during its flight on March 2 from Albany N.Y.to St-Hubert Airport, near Montreal.He said civilian planes have been advised to keep on the lookout for the white aircraft and routine military exercises will be conducted in the region.SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — Pierre Montagne was acquitted of a charge of manslaughter in the death of his 77 year old father, Raymond, in Bedford on Jan.12, 1983, in Sessions Court Friday.Judge Bernard Le-garé ruled the crown had not proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the death was caused by the unlawful act.He then found Montagne, 34, guilty of assault causing bodily harm and reserved his sentence to March 27.The pathologist who testified at the coroners inquest said there was no direct proof the blows sustained by the father could have caused death, terming them “superficial.” Additional testimony at the inquest revealed the father took his son to task for his mother's health condition and the son, in an advanced state of intoxication.hit his father twice in the face in the living room, knocking him to the ground.A brother located the dead body in the kitchen the following morning.The pathologist said Raymond Montagne had an enlarged heart with considerable arterial blockage but could not determine the precise cause of death.Defence lawyer Claude Hamann had argued there was no direct link between the blows and the death and Judge Le garé upheld his point.Montagne was freed on conditions including one he undergo a detoxication cure after his arraignment.His conditional freedom was continued through the preliminary hearing and trial and he remains free pending sentencing.He now faces a maximum penalty of 10 years rather than imprisonment for life.mente A/lflte R0ftm Admission S4 b0 Stiidiints $3b0 14 to 20 with card All WmI 7 31 p m SUNDAY 1 3t f»t 7 30 pm

more popular for politicians to profess a dislike of the constant ‘meddling’ of the press.Our would-be leaders are almost unanimous in their concern that journalists too often plague their every step, shadow their every movement and hang on every word hoping not for pearls of wisdom but for the inevitable f:mx pas.Guided by Pierre Trudeau — whose disdain lor the press was always evident — M Ps from from all three major political parties have at one time or another complained bitterly at the undeserving attention accorded them.The accusations would perhaps carry considerably more weight if the the relationship between politician and press were not quite so ‘two-sided’.Although all the individuals presently considering seeking the Liberal leadership have had ample time to make a decision — in some cases it is the only thing they have been thinking about for years — only two thus far have declared themselves actual candidates — Donald Johnston and Mark MacGuigan.John Turner, on the other hand, is in the process of stretching out the inevitable decision in an obvious effort to gain as much press cove-r;igo as possible.In a carefully planned public relations campaign, his staff has fed bits of information to the press at just the right intervals, assuring that Turner’s name will appear each and every day until the ‘suspense’ ends and he makes the official declaration.This plan of action is hardly new of course, having been used by Brian Mulroney only a short time ago.The new leader of the Conservatives, you wil recall, went as far as to have a gala pre-announcement evening at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, attended by thousands and reported by all.Likewise Jean Chrétien, whose has been campaigning for the job longer than most of us care to remember, has delayed his own announcement until Turner goes public.Political pressmanship at its finest.Eugene Whelan, the most travelled cabinet minister in Canada and because of it probably the most photographed — Monique Bégin, John Roberts and even Herb Grey with his new image-softening hair style, have all played the press as a fisherman plays a prize trout.The game, it appears, works both ways.Politics is a very public endeavor and those who take part in it will, for better or worse, have to accept the fact that the bright lights show the warts as well as the smiles.TIMOTHY BEDFORD Bruce Levett Saluting his hostess with a twitch of the fork Should there be a word out there that transcends ' cool,’' pray reserve it to describe a man I know.A gourmet to his polished fingernails, he was invited to dine by a lady renowned for her culinary wizardry.They dined alone.His admiration for her and for her talents mounted the further they slashed their way through the preliminary rounds.And then it was time for the entrée, Saluting his hostess with a twitch of the fork, ho attacked.Before he could give lip, however, there came a strange, strangled gasp from across the groaning hoard.He looked up, startled, to note a glaze filming the optic opposite."Bek.” she uttered helplessly.With scarcely a pause, he tasted.“Ah,” he breathed."Piquant! Decidedly piquant." And then he proceeded to dig in with gusto.A great and lasting friendship was born that night.Often since then, over the brandy, they have chuckled together about the night the dill weed somehow became substituted for the mint.The above was recounted recently during a discussion of dietary disasters into which all of us have stumbled from time to time.One newlywed, a purposeful person who believes anyone can do anything so long as he or she follows the directions, told of the time she first attempted a mousse.“Fold in the whites of four eggs," the directions stated and so she did — tossing the yolks, one by one, over her shoulder into the sink.It was not until later in the recipe that she encountered the line: "Now add the four yolks .” A matronly member of the assemblage smiled as she added her contribution.Having given a copy of her blueprint for coffee cake heralded in song and story for miles around — to a young chum, she was naturally curious as to the success of the venture."Well," the youngster hesitated, "it WAS a bit, or — gritty.” Well, you really couldn’t blame the kid.After all, the directions had clearly stipulated: “Add one cup of coffee.” For sheer volume of error, however, it would be tough to surpass that perpetrated in a major Canadian newspaper some time back.The publication did an entire page on the delights of a midtown Toronto restaurant and then, as was its wont, carried a side piece giving that restaurant’s proudest recipe.The recipe instructed: “Add 4 8ounces of sherry." But somebody dropped the ” and it came out: "Add 48 ounces of sherry.” And if THAT wasn't bad enough, the paper had to run a correction, drawing everybody's attention to it.‘Figure out some way to help our leaders?’ I’ve been so rough on pour Laurin and Parizeau recently regarding their efforts to couple the purchase o( school computers with an attempt to make Québec a leader in computer manufacturing, that a lot of folks here along the Tomifobia are starting to sidle up to me.They whisper things like “hey, why don’t you pick on somebody your own size.work over Pierre some more and maybe you can get him to resign”.Obviously, I listened —and it worked.Trudeau is resigning.Keen observers would do well to remark the downhill progress of Dr.Laurin as well.Other locals are saying that it is not right that I harass Asbestos Corp.so much.They say I should have mercy on a company whose sales drop every year.Why last year alone, they lost $20 million on sales of only $90 million.“It's easy to criticize somebody when they are down”, my friends say.Similarly, of course, it’s easy to write negative things about the $2,500 built-in-France computers our leaders are pushing onto the schoolkids, just because the machines aren’t near as up to date or versatile as other products costing only a fraction as much.“Where is the creativity in poking fun at obvious bun-glings like that?” my neighbors are at TomifobiaV Tales By CHICK SCHWARTZ saying.“If you’re so clever,” they say, “why don’t you figure some way to help our leaders out of the mess?After all, it’s our tax money that finances most of their fiascos.Why don’t you come up with something positive?” they admonish.HOW SEXY WE CAN LOOK This was tucked into the back of my mind the other day as I read about Jockey, the company who sells us so many undershorts and shirts by cleverly enlisting the aid of Jim Palmer to show us how sexy we can look with their products on our bodies.It seems now, that this nifty company is about to sell $64 million woth of Jockey shorts to WOMEN! How do you get women to buy men’s type underwear?Easy, give them a designer label.Jockey enlisted the aid of well known American designer Calvin Klein to add respectability to their product.DING!! “Do something positive”, my friends say.“Help the poor rhetorie-laden socialists out of their morass for once instead of always laughing at them,” my detractors intone.Of course.It’s so obvious.Why didn’t our leaders think of it themselves?Here it is: Positive assistance.Designer-label asbestos and computer! Enlist the endorsements f some of Qué-bee’s most well known personalities, and asbestos and second-rate outdated computers should sell like lottery tickets.Now for the really helpful part.A partial list of well known Quebecers whose names, when associated with our government’s products, should be a real asset to the sales efforts of our leaders.1) It’s truly amazing that no children’s dress or doll manufacturer has snapped up his name, but I understand that Mr.Grégoire (MNA Gilles) is about to be relea- sed from jail.Can’t you just imagine what a TV commercial filmed in the National Assembly of Mr.Grégoire hawking computers will do for sales.There he’ll be, with one of the Québec-produced machines saying something like, “Take it from a man with considerable experience with youngsters — these computers will help maintain the unique position Qué-bec’s education department has arranged for your children.” 2) Well known Quebecers with international connections should help when it comes to exporting.Liberal MPs Ian Watson (Chateauguay) and Jean Lapierre (Shefford) might quality.Earlier this week, they were meeting with Yasser Arafat on the very day that Arafat was praising the Palestinian terrorist attack in Jerusalem in which 21 innocent people were wounded.These MPs were part of a group of seven MPs from throughout Canada on a Middle Eastern tour paid for by the Arab League.Shoot! With contacts like that, these respected parliamentarians should have no trouble helping to sell Québec’s products by the $millions to other world leaders like Colonel Kadafy, Idi Amin, Baby Doc, and maybe even the Ayatollah.Letters Sheltered Workshops: Senseless labor?EDITOR: As one who has worked with those in need (mentally handicapped — physical handicap) for nearly 18 years, and thus have seen many improvements in this field.1 must also stress the fact that there still exists on a very grand scale a denial of basic human rights.The improvements I speak of are simply those that can be acquired by money, thus of a material nature.Housing has improved, outings have become regu lated, schools are in place, as well as workshops.There are Special Olym- pics, and those fortunate being part of this élite crop of humans, more power to you.Then we have those that are less fortunate and thus left behind, because of their inability to cope with so-called “Normal Society” (thus average).These humans, as the present evaluating systems show, function at the level of a three-year-old child and less, while at the chronological age of 26, give or take.These “children” (thus a known reality) are placed to work in so-called “shelte- r~r 1)1 FRANCOPHONE > I 1 red workshops” to produce (not mentioning the numerous human analyses they have to go through) from Monday to Friday, 7 hours a day, 10 to 11 months a year in a highly structured system.The “finished” product is one that many would call senseless labor, that would not make it past the gates of yesterday’s prisons.The stress here (workshop-environment) is placed upon a production level (not the need of the individual) which must be improved or maintained no matter what the cost.Daily one can see not only the mental instability, but also the denial of their emotional state, that we all so-called normal humans, child or adult, find difficult to survive without.This emotional state one will find has nothing whatsoever to do with man’s intellect or mental state of being and is the state which receives and projects feelings, not thoughts! This state thus is one that desires, loves, hates, feels happy, sad, anger, etc., etc.(the feeling state), which of course fortifies the growth of every individual.Unfortunately any allowance to such needs is rarely given much attention.When such an instability (anger) in emotion occurs one will find there to be an effort to remedy the situation but often there is a short fuse attached to it.Or, as in many cases, methods of an increased workload are used, in order to silence or suppress the negative behavior.Then you have those that persist within this instability, for their need lies not in being forced to produce, or being clothed with all the material possessions money can buy.Their needs lie in the area of emotion.One will find however laws preventing those from receiving this type of flow which is of a natural source (thus fundamental) resulting in an emotional crime against the individual and indeed a very difficult philosophy to uphold.Instead there are time out rooms (padded cells), even talks of electroshocks in order to learn, straightjackets, doors that automatically lock behind you, and but of course, the inforcers’ biggest ally, modern medicine in high dosages (tranquilizers).Thus a very negative way to help those that are less fortunate.All which are introduced as methods of normalization.As one in direct contact with those in need, I firmly believe that such systems are one of exploitation and abuse, as well as being degrading for those in need.Perhaps to mechanize is fine to some, but to humanize there exists no parallel.Humbly yours, someone who cares, SIEGFRIED-GHANIE Declaration on the Rights of Mentally Retarded Person Which calls for a “reaffirming faith in human rights, fundamental freedom and in the principle of peace ; of the dignity and worth of the human person and of social justice.” Art.1: The mentally retarded person has to the maximum degree of feasibility the same rights as other human beings.Art.3: He or she has the right to perform productive work or to engage in any other meaningful occupation to the fullest possible extent of his capabilities.Art.6: He or she has the right to protection from exploitation, abuse and degrading treatment.United Nations General Assembly Adapted Dec.26—1971 The MacKenzie King era is dead—John Roberts NEW YORK (CP) Employment Minister John Roberts threw away a prepared address on political change in Canada here Friday and delivered the first Gary Hart “new ideas” speech of the Liberal leadership campaign.Roberts, who has not yet declared his intentions in the race to succeed Pierre Trudeau, gave a well-prepared outline for what he called a "new Liberalism” characterized by “new policies” which would prepare Canada for "the challenge of the future.” Roberts said he may announce his intentions Wednesday, either at a scheduled news conference in Ottawa in the morning, or at a meeting later (hat evening with his constituency association in Toronto.“There is, I think, a need fora new Liberalism in Canada,” Roberts told a luncheon at the Centre for Inter-American Relations."And that new Liberalism will share some of the characteristics espoused by certain politicians in the United States." The speech was laced with the same repeated references to "new approaches," “new programs” and “new policies" that have been the theme of Gary Hart in his bid for (he Democratic presidential nomination in the United States.Roberts, in fact, was to meet with the Larry Black IN NEW YORK senator from Colorado and some political friends in New York later Friday.Too much should not be read into the “mainly social" meeting, he said, but it would be a chance “to pick (heir brains." Canada is coming to the end of an era, he said.Not of the Trudeau era, as many people believe, but of the Liberal era which began with Prime Minister Mackenzie King after the Second World War."If we need a new Liberalism it is not because there is any need to to turn our backs on that past," Roberts said."Noris there any need to change the values of Liberalism.” "It is simply that we live in a new world, a very different world.Just as Mackenzie King felt in the late 40s the need to define a direction for Liberalism which corresponded to his new world .we face that new challenge today.” Post war rapid, easy, strong growth for Canada is a thing of the past, and government must turn now to the “politics of wealth creation,” preparing Canada for “sustainable growth” in a new competitive technological world."New Liberals” believe it is time for a shift in emphasis in both the public and private sectors from consumption to investment, he said.ROLE CHANGES Like Hart, Roberts said the role of government in the economy has changed.In Canada, government should be concentrating on “infrastructure activities" to encourage private sector growth and job creation, rather than ‘the politics of resistance to growth." The parallels with Hart’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination are so striking that the host of the luncheon, an American, asked Roberts if he wasn't positioning himself “to be the Gary Hart of the next election.” Roberts said he wasn’t “sure Mr.Hart would welcome my identifying myself with him, " but he said “there are similarities in what 1 understand to be the ap- proach of new liberals in the United States.” Among them there is also “that new concern for the conditions of growth which generally has not characterized the Liberals” in Canada in the past, he said.RESEMBLES CAMPAIGN When the comparison was put to him in an interview later, Roberts agreed that his candidacy might resemble Hart’s in that he also would be entering the race with far less financial backing than some of the other contenders."I’m not going to a rich candidate, I’m not going to be — if 1 am a candidate — an establishment candidate," Roberts said.He said he “simply did not know” when he would announce his intentions, but said he hoped to decide by Wednesday ” However, the content of his announcement is "not by any means sure ” he added.The only declared candidate so far are Economic Development Minister Don Johnston and Justice Minister Marc Mac-Guigan.other potential contenders are expected to announce their intentions this week.Former finance minister John Tur-ner will announce

under while big business laughs at taxman TORONTO (CP) — While Revenue Canada is under fire for allegedly forcing small businessmen into bankruptcy over unpaid taxes, large national and multinational corporations are avoiding billions of dollars in taxes, experts say.Roy Hogg, a Toronto chartered accountant and tax specialist, used government statistics to estimate roughly that Ottawa is losing about $3.5 billion a year to the corporate practice of transferring portions of profits to affiliates in tax havens.Gerard LeBlond.director of Revenue Canada's special investigations division, said the practice has increased and become more sophisticated in recent years.He also guessed that lost revenue could run into billions of dollars.Experts say there are many ways corporations can use offshore affiliates, set up in Caribbean or Third World countries where effective tax rates are zero or close to zero, to escape paying taxes in Canada, but the basic principle is the same.In a simplified scenario, if a Canadian company bought a product abroad for $1 and then sold it on the Canadian market for $1.50, it would have to pay federal tax on the 50-cent profit.However, if the affiliate purchased the product for $1 and then sold it to the Canadian company for $1.40, the product could still be sold on the Canadian market for $1.50 and the Canadian company would only have to pay tax on a profit of 10 cents.But it has already realized a 40-cent profit in the tax haven, on which it pays little or no tax.The process is reversed for exporting goods from Canada.The affiliate purchases the Canadian company’s product at below market price, allowing the company to keep a bigger share of the eventual profit in the tax haven.Often, the product never goes near the tax haven, except on paper, because the affiliate may be nothing more man a sales corporation set up as a middleman purchaser.If a company uses a sale corporation to transfer profits to a tax haven, those profits are not subject to Canadian taxation.RETURNS AS LOAN Technically, if the profits are brought back to Canada, they would be subject to taxation, but companies get around that by having the sales corporation lend the money to the Canadian company, effectively handing the money back free of tax.In 1972, the Canadian government introduced the Foreign Accrual Property Income law with tough regulations to prevent the use of certain kinds of tax havens.But the law was weakened because it failed to cast its net wide enough and several attempts in recent years to prosecute companies for not paying tax on offshore profits proved ineffective.One of the prosecutions which failed was against Redpath Industries Ltd.Ottawa argued that Redpath had used a sales corporation to avoid paying more than $3 million in tax over a six-year period But the company wras acquitted in December 1982 on a charge of tax evasion after a long trial.NO TELEPHONE Quebec Sessions Court Judge D’Ar-cy Asselin accepted that the sugar company had established an offshore company to carry on activities in Bermuda, “thereby procuring a very impressive tax saving,” and that the affiliate was really just a tax vehicle.It took orders from Redpath s head office in Montreal, had no employees, no warehouse and didn’t even have a telephone.But Asselin ruled there was no evidence to support the charge of tax evasion and said the prosecution hadn’t even shown that any income tax was owing.Ottawa’s appeal of Asselin’s decision is scheduled to begin in a few "weeks.LeBlond said the fact that Ottawa

Department spokesman said Thursday.While most foods tested for EDB by the department showed no detectable levels of the chemical, 12 of 162 samples of grain-based mixes for cakes, muffins, brownies, cookies, pie crusts and pancakes showed unacceptable residues, Jean Sattar said.Tainted lots removed included six Betty Crocker brands, three Monarch brands,, two brands from Duncan Hines and one from Robin Hood Multifoods Ltd.While EDB levels in the foods exceeded the 100 parts per billion recommended in federal health regulations, the department said the products do not represent a significant TUCSON, Ariz.(AP) — Costly disposal problems for a cheese-maker’s byproduct may be solved by a new product that tastes like a chocolate milkshake.Every 100 kilograms of milk in cheese production makes about 10 kilograms of cheese and 90 kilograms of whey.Though the whey contains valuable nutrients, it is often thrown away for lack of a practical application, says University of Arizona food scientist Dr.J.Warren Stull.A new product developed here combines whey with some peanut powder and a little sugar and chocolate.The result is “a highly nutritious and appealing chocolate-flavored beverage,” said Stull.Equally important, the process avoids expensive steps such as drying, condensing or fractionating the whey.Taste-test panels of about 250 people gave the drink a high rating in appeal.It is a little thicker than cho- “Hopefully now we ll see some real justice here for this man,” said protest leader Allen Wilford, president of the Canadian Farmers’ Survival Association.health risk because they are only consumed occasionally and are a small part of a normal diet.The department reiterated its earlier position that while high EDB levels were found in some flours, grain-based mixes, Mexican oranges and powdered bread mixes, the pesticide does not pose a public health concern in Canada’s food supply.EDB is a fumigant whose primary use in Canada was to fumigate milling machinery.The chemical, which laboratory tests have shown to be a potential cancer-causing agent, was used as a grain, fruit and soil fumigant in the United States.While health officials say they have found little or no trace of EDB in most Canadian food, Canada is in the process of banning it and 14 other fumigants following a 14-year review and the U.S.has banned the chemical there.colate milk because of the peanut solids.The drink is about 3.5 per cent high-quality protein, and is also rich in calcium and B vitamins, said Stull.SOME INTEREST Food*Engineering, a food industry journal, recently reported on the development and testing of the whey drink by the university team of Blanca Wagner, Ralph Taylor and Stull.Since then, several companies have called expressing interest in com mer-cial application, said Stull.Some 20 million tonnes of whey were produced in the United States in 1983.About half was used in human food or to feed livestock, but the other half was discarded.The disposal itself is costly for sewage plants, which usually pass the costs back to cheese makers.In addition, it literally pours valuable protein, lactose (milk sugar), vitamins and minerals down the drain.The percentage of whey being used Wilford and more than 100 other farmers forced auctioneer Gene Parks to declare the public sale of Jago’s farm aborted because of a lack of bids.However, the Virdcn Credit Union, which had placed Jago’s farm up for sale, downplayed the significance of the incident, claiming aborted public-auctions are common.Jago, a leading farm activist in the province and former president of the Manitoba branch of the association, had his 518-hectare farm seized by the credit union last fall because he owed it more than $300,000.The protest against the sale began quietly Friday as farmers from across Manitoba endured frosty temperatures to picket credit union offices for a short time.Then, they jammed the Elks' Hall where the auction took place.Led by Wilford, who flew to Winnipeg on Thursday to discuss Jago’s plight with provincial agriculture officials, the farmers chanted “No bids, no bids” as Parks started the bidding process.A furious shouting match between Parks and the farmers went on for several minutes until a man, said to be one of Jago s neighbors, offered $70 an acre on one parcel of the land, about 40 kilometres south of Virden.ATTACK BIDDER The young man, who resisted briefly, was struck at least once and was instead of discarded has been increasing, but the total amount of whey produced has been growing even faster, at about five per cent per year, said Stull.Arizona, for example, turns out about 2,500 tonnes of whey a year.The annual costs of whey disposal in the state, counting sewage fees and lost protein and lactose, were estimated three years ago at about $5 million a year.MOSTLY WATER “The problem with whey is that it is about 94 per-cent water,” said Stull.That is too diluted for most food uses, but concentrated enough to make it troublesome as sewage.Cheese making has become more centralized so transporting whey back to the farms has grown more expensive.Dumping whey untreated hurts streams and lakes, and has been prohibited.Sewage treatment is expensive, but less expensive than ma- quickly shoved backwards into the crowd by the protesting farmers.The brief scuffle prompted Parks to summon nearby RCMP officers to restore order.The bidder, who refused to identify himself or talk to reporters, also refu sed to lay a complaint against his assailants.His bid was rejected by Parks for being below the reserve bid submitted by the credit union.Jago, who was not at the auction, had his livestock and farm machinery seized last summer after a brief attempt by militant farmers to blockade the area in order to prevent bailiffs from entering the farm.After Parks gave up his attempt at soliciting bids, the farmers headed for a celebration at the Virden Legion Hall, where the victorious Jago shook hands and embraced his supporters.Confident about finding a solution to his two-year-old financial problems, Jago told reporters he and his family will continue to live on the farm until they are evicted.Jago, his wife and two children have been living on welfare and sporadic income from odd jobs since he lost his livestock and farm equip ment.Wilford and other farmers’ representatives are to meet with Manitoba Agriculture Minister Bill Uruski on Tuesday to discuss Jago’s problems.by-product ny of the processes that have been tried to take advantage of whey's food value.Stull noted that Israel cuts transportation costs by carrying whey back to dairy farms in the same tank trucks that carry milk to the cheese makers.Wagner, Taylor and Stull set out to find a food use for whey that would not require taking the water out of it, since that process is expensive.After testing several possibilities, they settled on the drink that is seven per cent peanut solids, seven per cent sugar, one per cent cocoa, and the remainder whey.The ratio of whey to peanut was picked to give the desired texture and also to provide a nutritious balance of amino acids in the drink’s protein, said Stull.“The peanuts are mildly roasted for flavor that complements the chocolate without overwhelming it,” he said.Tainted cake mixes removed from markets U.S.scientist finds new use for cheese Farm

Friday.The increase, from 0.5 fibre per cubic centimetre of air to 2.0 per cc, effectively removes any pressure on the government of Québec to follow the American example and lower the fibre maximums allowable in this province.Energy Minister Yves Duhaime said it was a “great victory for the asbestos industry.The government of Québec actively participated in the victory by supplying money and energy in the defence of asbestos on the world market.” The increase is due to a federal court ruling made in New Orleans which said the 0.5 maximum was unjustified since the United States’

Jacques Parizeau says he is considering extending many of the tax breaks and obligations of conventionally wedded couples to those just living together.“Our fiscal laws do not recognize any other couples than those who arc formally married, while several of our social programs are based on the concept of the common-law wife, ” Parizeau said at a news conference.“Now this has to be reconciled.” He was responding to charges by Opposition finance critic Reed Sco-wen that tax reforms promised for this year’s Quebec budget were delayed because the Finance Department is disorganized.“I don’t think I should apologize,” Parizeau said Thursday.“I should explain, obviously, but I shouldn’t apologize except to say that these very complex problems have taken more time than 1 expected.” Parizeau explained that his plan to join all unwed couples in fiscal, if not holy, matrimony affected several government programs under different departmental jurisdictions and this was one of many stumbling blocks delaying publication of his white paper on fiscal reform.Scowen also charged that the delay was caused by the difficulty of reconciling fiscal and economic realism with Parti Quebeois ideology.Parizeau dismissed that suggestion as facile.But he acknowledged that the changes needed to the tax system to encourage economic growth do raise the hackles of PQ supporters and this has not made his life any easier.NEED APPROVAL He said the reform proposals have been drafted but have yet to be appro-vedby cabinet and the PQ caucus.He expects to make them public in April.Parizeau also denied charges by Scowen that he had acted improperly and showed favoritism when he wrote to several Quebec companies telling them to ignore amendments made to the Quebec stock savings plan before Christmas.Parizeau said that in the pre-Christmas rush, an error was made in the amendments, blocking a limited number of stock issues."This is the reason 1 wrote that letter,” he said.“So that no-one would gel gypped because of an error in drafting.Scowen said that if Parizeau had wanted to change the amendments he should have done so in the national assembly.Parizeau said any finance minister can abrogate the effects of tax laws to the benefit of taxpayers immediately, when the house is not in session, and make a later announcement in the house.And he said he is re-examining the amendments passed Dec.21 because he believes they prevent too many companies from taking advantage of the tax breaks promised.NOW OPEN ON SUNDAY FROM 9 A.M.TO 6 P.M.SETA 15% DISCOUNT ON ALL ITEMS YOU BUY EXCEPT

Many people prefer niuhl or shift work, but others complain bitterly about such hours.This story, the second of two.looks at the biological effects of working certain shifts.By Janice Wlasichuk WINNIPEG (CP) — People who complain about working nights or rotating shifts are not necessarily chronic gripers who sound off without reason.Ilene Stones, a project officer with the Hamilton.Ont.,-based Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, says research has shown that for biological reasons some people just can't work certain shifts.“People who complain about it have a good biological or physiological basis for the complaint,” Stones said in an interview, “There’s so mething real to it.It’s not just that they can’t adjust or that there’s something wrong with them." Stones is referring to a biological clock which controls each person’s body temperature, blood pressure and pulse.This clock, which doctors call circadian rhythms from the Latin circa dies, meaning about a day, is affected by light and dark and for the shift worker may cause some real problems.UPSET CLOCK Stones said studies have shown that the clock gets tur ned around in night workers each time they break their routines with days off."You have your five nights and then two days off,” she said.“In those two days, your circadian rhythms are all confused and they go back to your day schedule very quic kly and then you’re back into nights again.“It's a problem because your body get confused, and rotating shift workers are continually changing, and things like meal times and sleep patterns are disturbed.” Grant Prue, a night auditor at a downtown Winnipeg hotel, said although he enjoys working nights, he finds it difficult to revert to his work schedule at the end of each weekend.“The hardest part is getting off it on weekends and getting on again on Sunday,” said Prue, who has been at his job for about six years.DAY-NIGHT TOUGH Tara Little, an assistant manager at the Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant in Winnipeg, said she has had to work day and night shifts in the same week and found it difficult."You seem to get your second wind after midnight and it was hard to go home and go to bed and be really effective the next day,” said Little.24.“If you’re (working) all days and all nights it’s fine, but if you’re (working) both, it’s hard.” Muhammad Jamal, a professor of Human Resources Management at Concordia University in Montreal, said a study he did showed that people who work rotating shifts suffer in terms of social relationships, job satisfaction and job performance.The study, done as a questionnaire in 1980 and 1981, included about 1,200 nurses and blue-collar workers in Montreal and Vancouver.“I asked their supervisors to rate them in terms of their performance and I discovered that people who were working on rotating shifts were systematically put down in terms of performance by their own supervisors,” he said.MORE DEPRESSED Jamal said he also found that shift workers had higher rates of absenteeism, higher turnover and were depressed more often because they had less time with their families and friends.He said one problem is that Canadian workers are not given enough incentive to work shifts.While most Canadian shift workers receive differentials of about four to six per cent, Jamal said British employers pay 25-per-cent premiums to those who work rotating shifts.“There’s no motivation here,” he said.Jamal, who is studying about 250 Montreal-area firemen, said reactions to shift work have a lot to do with a person’s background.“People whose family has a history of working on shifts are the least likely to be disturbed working on any shift.” IMPROVE SYSTEM For those who suffer, Stones suggested a well-designed shift system could help.“If you go from days to afternoons to nights, it’s better than going from days to nights to afternoons,” she said."The reason for that is based on circadian rhythms.If you go from days to afternoons to nights, you’re always moving ahead in time whereas if you go from days to nights that’s a bigger change and if you go back into afternoons after that you’re moving backwards.” But Stones says it’s not just the shift schedule that needs revising — industry should try to reduce the amount of stress it places on workers and suggested a good 24-hour cafeteria service would clear up a lot of diet problems shift workers face.“They’re all contributing factors,”shesaid.“There’sno one thing you’re going to do to alleviate the problems of shift work.It’s impossible.But if you do a combination of things, it’s more likely that you’ll have fewer people suffering adverse affects.” Toaster ovens can save time and money HAMILTON (CP) — A toaster oven is the perfec' appliance for seniors, singles and small families.But as with any new appliance.putting it to the best use takes time and practice.Norma and Reg Piggott, a Hamilton couple who have been using a toaster oven for a year, often use the oven to cook an entire meal, including vegetables and dessert, at once.Norma Piggott says two oval dishes fit perfectly in the oven and aluminum foil takeout dishes that come with lids are ideal because they can go straight from the oven into the freezer.CAN CONFUSE Some of the oven’s features may confuse first-time buyers, such as the slow cooker on Proctor Silex models, in which two 45-watt elements slowly build up heat to maintain a steady 100C for hours.The oven works like a crock pot so dinner will cook while the owner is away for the day.This feature requires use of a special dish of thin glass.These dishes cannot go from freezer to hot oven, but they can go from the freezer into the slow cooker when cold.Anything a regular oven can cook can be done in a toaster oven — the only limitation is size.A chicken, for instance, ean’t be roasted whole but it can be split in two.PRICES VARY Toaster ovens, which range in price from $65 to $150, cook a meal in the same time as a big oven, but cost much less to operate.An oven with 1,500 watts of power costs about half as much to run as conventional ovens, which draw 3,000 or more watts.Gord Townsend, a serviceman for a Hamilton appliance outlet, said children should be kept away from the ovens when they’re hot.There is no insulation in the toaster ovens, he said, and though they get hot enough to burn a person if touched, they don’t throw enough heat to harm a counter top.Greer’s new book indicates change of view LONDON (AFP) — Australian writer Germaine Greer, who spent

body.Steroids like cortisone are produced naturally by the body’s adrenal glands and play an important role in the meta-bolization or breaking down of nutrients into energy.When an artificial substance such as a steroid drug is introduced, the adrenal glands do not have to work as hard and gradually become smaller.In time, they could become unable to put out the extra hormones that are needed in stress situations and leave the body in the position of having to depend on artificial support for as long as it lives.Taken Four Ways Corticosteroids can betaken in four ways : orally; by intra-muscular injection; by intravenous injection; or by injection directly into the site of inflammation.A corticosteroid called “Prednisone” (taken orally) is almost always the drug of first choice for doctors who are attempting to treat severe arthritis or where they are attempting to halt a serious bout of inflammation.Dosages In general, high-dose cortisone is used in connective tissue disease when there is evidence of vital organ involvement (brain, heart, lungs, kidney, etc.).Low-dose therapy is used to provide added comfort or control in milder disease when less powerful agents fail.Be Careful If you have arthritis and are taking Prednisone, you must be very careful about starting and stopping the drug and should never adjust the dosages on your own.The results could be tragic.Sudden withdrawals can lead to shock and even a regulated withdrawal under the direction of a physician could leave you with prolonged stiffness and pain for a short period.If you note any of the side effects mentioned in this column, contact your doctor immediately.In some cases, he or she might try putting you on an every-other-day regimen to reduce the impact of the drug.Stay Active Additionally, you should try to remain active and stay on a low-calorie, high-protein diet to counteract some of the weight-gaining effects of the drug.As well, you should sharply reduce your salt intake because of the tendency of people on Prednisone to retain fluid in their tissues.Other drugs in this category such as Aristocort®, Celestone®, Decadron* and Dedo-Medrol® generally have the same side effects and are usually far more expensive than Prednisone, Corticosteroid Injections A variety of corticosteroid drugs are given by intra-articular (in the joint) injection in cases of severe inflammation or pain.There can be serious side effects, of course, and these are largely related to the duration of the injection therapy rather than the type of drug.They can, however, despite their risks, produce superb results when clinically appropriate and closely monitored and controlled.An Important Reminder •Corticosteroid drugs are potent and should be administered only in specific cases and under the most careful supervision of a physician.•You should never take a steroid drug without first telling your doctor what other drugs you are taking.The same is true for your dentist or any other physician who takes care of you in an emergency.•Never adjust your own drug dosage and never stop taking a steroid drug without your doctor’s approval and supervision.•Always tell your doctor if you are experiencing side effects and remember, the longer you take any steroid drug, the greater the side effects.Next: Anti-Malarial Drugs for Arthritis Patrick Baker is Director of National

ACCOUNTANTS MAGOG (CGI —The Annual Congregational Meeting of St.Paul’s United Church was held on Wednesday, January 25, 1984, at the Church Hall.Forty people were present who enjoyed a delicious supper served by the United Church Women.Following an opening worship led by Scott Patton, slides were shown reminding us of the activities of ten years ago and this past year.The minutes of the previous Annual Meeting were adopted as printed.It was noted that the decision from last year to study the possibility of forming a Church Council had not been done.But it was agreed to pursue the matter this coming year.The Reports of the Ayer’s Cliff-Magog Pastoral Charge were presented.They indu ded reports from Ron Coughlin, Alice McAl-pine, the Team Ministers, as well as the Lay Workers, Carson Hatfield, Heather Kinkaid and Scott Patton.The reports indicated that six baptisms, 10 marriages and 11 funerals took place during the year.The Candidates for the Ministry from St.Paul’s United Church had sent in written reports which were included in the Annual Reports.Arlen Bonnar indicated that he received his B.Th., from McGill University last May and he is presently enrolled in the Montreal Institute for Ministry.He will graduate in April of this year and be ordained at the next meeting of the Montreal and Otta-wa Conference at Brockville, Ontario, on May 29, 1984.A four-month stint in Africa this past summer doing mission work was very rewarding for Arlen.Gayle Chouinard stated in her report that she is now in B.Th.Ill or Master of Divinity (M.Div.)Il.Herstudies have been going well and she is fascinated week by week at the wealth of material which is the legacy of the Christian Church.She was chosen to participate in a program for overseas summer field placement.The location will probably be the Caribbean for approximately six weeks.Last summer she was involved in a new community development church in Surrey, B.C., called Newton United.A pleasant week was spent at the World Council of Churches tilh Assembly in Vancouver, and where she met people from all over the world, who were eager and articulate in sharing their views and Christian faith.In the spring, Doreen Moffat completed her B.Th.degree at McGill University.She also served as a student chaplain at the Royal Victoria Hospital with Rev.Howard Christie.Last May she began her year-long internship at Cedar Park United Church in Pointe Claire.The report of the Mission Committee by Irma McKelvey indi- For All Your Auction Needs Without Obligation Contact .CRACKH0LM AUCTION SERVICES David "Butch" Crack Bilingual Aucllonttr P 0 Box 514 - Richmond Out - Td: (BIB) 875-2424 cated that support was given to the Citizen Advocacy Association which was founded in 1983.Citizen Advocacy continues to match volunteers with people in need or handicapped in some way.During the summer months a government Student Work’s Project Grant permitted the hiring of three students to participate in a project called “Respite Care”.Also support was given to the Eastern Townships Nuclear Disarmament Committee.It was noted that subscriptions to the Mandate Magazine have been received and distributed throughout the Pastoral Charge.The Manse Committee headed by Rev.Coughlin showed that funds were made available for renovation such as the living room floor being sanded and verathaned and also the walls and ceiling were painted.Plans are underway to purchase new curtains and drapes for the windows.Robert McLauchlan, Session Report stated that special services held in 1983 were as follows: May 1 — Anniversary Service with Rev.Wesley Mitchell as guest speaker.June 5 — Bishop Eddie Pan-ganiban.Missionary from the Philippines, as guest preacher.June 12 — Rev.Sandra McLauchlan conducted the Worship Service and administered the Sacrement of Holy Communion, after her Ordination in May, 1983.December 18 — The Annual Pastoral Charge Carol and Candlelight Service was held at St.Paul’s.At the November 13th meeting of the Session, Gayle Chouinard, Doreen Moffat and Arlen Bonnar, Candidates for the Ministry, presented their reports on their past year’s work.By their reports, we can be proud of having them as Candidates from our Congregation.The Session continued their study of the “Christian Initiation Remit”.Upon completion of their study, the Session’s decision was to vote “Yes” to the Remit.The members of the Session extended sincere appreciation to Evelyn Cuthbert, their Organist, Winona Patterson, their Assistant Organist and members of the Choir, for their contributions during the past year.A very special thanks to the Team Ministers, Rev.Ron Coughlin and Rev.Alice McAlpine, who, through their Christian ministry have led and guided by their love and devotion.Thanks to Stan Beerworth, Carson Hatfield, Heather Kinkaid and Scott Patton, for their assistance in leading Worship Services and other pastoral duties, during the illness of Rev.McAlpine.The Board of Trustees headed by George Smiley showed that repairs and improvements made during the year include the folio wing — Chureh — The blistered appearance to the wall near the rear north window that was caused by water damage has finally been repaired.The Trustees are considering painting the exteriors of the chureh and manse in the year 1984 The Memorial En dowment Fund, Gloria Broadbent, showed that donations in memory of 15 different people were received.J.B.Richardson, secretary of the Committee of Stewards indicated that Mr.Ken Dezan is the caretaker and is now in charge, being responsible for all the work, which he is carrying on most promptly and efficiently.The annual Every-Person Canvass was held from November 7th to November 13th and gratitude is extended to the congregation for their usual whole-hearted response to this financial campaign.The church hall is being used on Monday nights by the Boy Scouts for their meetings, and a newly-formed Youth Group is meeting there on Friday nights.Deepest sympathy was extended to George Smiley, chairman of the Committee of Stewards, who lost his wife, Muriel, who for many years was the Envelope Secretary, as well as a dedicated member of the United Church Women.Mary Flanders, secretary of the United Church Women reported that as in previous years, regular activities kept them very busy.Those included the Congregational Supper, Spring and Fall Suppers, Rummage and Christmas Sales.Other events which involved the St.Paul’s U.C.W.were; World Day of Prayer at the Grace Chapel, March 4th and an evening of slides by Mr.Lysle Thompson, March 23rd.Donations were made to various local, national and world projects, as well as sponsoring one youth to attend summer camp.Service books were donated and dedicated in loving memory of deceased members.Reverend Coughlin reported that on November 6, 1983, a small Sunday School began under the leadership of Robin Whitehead and Saiwatie Campbell.Six to ten young children enjoyed the opportuni- ty to leave the worship service after the Story Time, and to share in Sunday School.The teachers provided a small worship, stories, singing, games and crafts.Hopefully this will become a regular program of the church for those children who accompany their parents to church.Gratitude was extended to Robin and Saiwatie for leadership, as well as those who have helped out on various Sundays.Due to the initiative of Betty-Jean Corbett, who spoke to many teenagers in Magog and encouraged them to form a Youth Group, nine teenagers aged 12-15 met with Rev.Coughlin for the first time on Friday, November 4, 1983.The members of the Youth Group agreed to participate in a program with three different aspects — 1.doing activities for fun; 2.learning about themselves, their church and the world; 3.helping other people.The Youth Group is getting started and looks forward to an exciting and worthwhile year in 1984.Craig and Alice McAlpine reported that the St.Luke’s and St.Paul’s Sunshine Club continued to meet at the Princess Elizabeth Elementary School from January to Easter.25 to 35 bubbly, exuberant and always challenging children attended, and one of the highlights for the Senior boys and girls was the making of Lenten and Easter Banners which were proudly displayed in the churches.The Sunshine club would like to express its sincere thanks to Muriel Cow-dry, Joan Chapmen, Joyce Robinson, Edna Christie, Jean Martin.Donald Lachapelle and Fred Wilson, for their much appreciated help.“Kingpins”, a non-denominational group for Senior Citizens meets in the church hall the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month for cards, games and lunch, with an average attendance of 25.F.S.Wilson, secretary-treasurer, ex- • tends gratitude to the many volunteers who cook and help with the lunch at each meeting.The Foster Parents Program headed by Irma McKelvey, reported that at last year’s Annual Meeting, it was decided not to continue with this program, but to seek ways in which their financial contributions would help more children.Irma McKelvey, Thelma Ruck, Phyllis Wilson and Reverend Coughlin met on February 1, 1983, and agreed: 1.to send the bank balance of $145.34 to a program in Central America called Puebli-to which runs orphanages and schools for children; 2.to channel their support for children through the Mission and Service Fund of the United Church; 3.to encourage the study of the following Faith in Action Kits: 1) Agriculture, rural development, Nepal: b) Matise High School, Lesotho; c) Ministry with the Deaf; 3) United Church of Papua, New Guinea and Solomon Islands, Nursing Project.Since Rev.Ron Coughlin had requested a change in Pastoral Relations and was leaving on May 1st to take up new duties as the Personnel Officer for the Montreal and Ottawa Conference, the congregation had to nominate people for the Pastoral Relations Committee to seek a new minister.It was agreed that Frank Walker, Cathy Gillick and Eva Trew be nomi-nated for that Committee.After Mr.Frank Walker offered thanks to Rev.Ron Coughlin and Rev.Alice McAlpine for their leadership throughout the year, the meeting adjourned with a Benediction.’srtüs

heroics.Despite the victory, McKell was hesitant to predict anything for the series’ next game Wednesday night in Sorel.“I am concerned about the next game,” he said.We have to go in there and play tough.We can’t go in there and wimp.” McKell also said he didn’t feel the two-games-in-two nights had affected the Rebels.“They didn't have a very tough time against Rosemont,’’ he said.“They only had to play one game last week and that series wasn’t that difficult.” Game Two of the three-out-of-five series begins at 8 p.m.in Sorel.The same time applies for Game Three Friday night at the W.B.Scott Arena in Lennoxville.Swiss, Swedes unbeaten CORNWALL.Ont.(CP) — Jan Strandlund, skip of the Swedish team in the world junior men’s curling championship, admits to being somewhat surprised at his 4-0 record but hastens to add he’s glad everyone else is surprised too."I guess it’s made it easier for us,” he said Monday night after defeating Denmark and heading into the fifth round tied for first with Switzerland.Norway stood second at 3-1 with the United States, Canada and France next at 2-2.Denmark, Scotland and West Germany were 1-3 while Italy was last at 0-4.Sweden’s 8-4 victory over Ulrik Schmidt wasn’t all that difficult.“Nobody was playing all that badly, actually they all played quite well, but we’ve still got Scotland to beat and they have to start winning sometime,” said Strandlund.Switzerland, skipped by Andre Flo-tron, held on to its share of the lead with a 3-1 win over Jamie Schnieder’s Canadian rink from Kronau, Sask.Schneider said he missed several draws and “they stole a couple on us and that was the key.” NORWAY DOWNS U.S.In another fourth-round game, Norway defeated the United States 8-6 in a strange turn of events.It was thought the U.S.had won in an extra end but the referee ruled that the team from Bisbee, North Dakota had burned the final rock and Morton Skaug’s rink got a two-ender and the win.Jets on the road again at home MAGOG — Be it ever so humble there’s no place like home.Kicked out of their more glamorous Sherbrooke Sports Palace home as work crews prepare the rink for this year's version of The Ice Capades, the Sherbrooke Jets move to the less dazzling confines of the Magog Municipal Arena tonight for an American Hockey League date with Moncton Alpines.The Jets, coming off a 5-1 victory over the Whalers in Binghampton — a game in which goaltender Paul Pageau lost his bid for a shutout in the final minute of play — would dearly love to beat the Alpines and possibly switch spots in the AHL's Northern Division before the season winds down.The Jets will be playing game number "69 tonight while Moncton will be at 70 and the Sherbrooke team would like nothing better than to hand the Alpines the dubious distinction of finishing the regular schedule in last place.That could take some doing though as the Jets must make up the 16 points that separate the two teams.Sherbrooke’s chances of doing that can’t be easily dismissed though, because of late the Jets have been playing their best hockey in the almost-two-seasons they have been in the Eastern Townships.The line of Claude La-rose.Murray Eaves and either Mike Lauen or Dave Chartier, depending on the former’s physical status, has been scoring at a regular pace and Larose is locked in a battle with Binghampton’s Ross Yates for first place overall in league scoring.The goaltending of Pageau and Brian Hayward in the past month or so has ranged from okay to excellent with more emphasis put on the excellent side of the scale.The Jets can still climb over the Alpines into fifth place and there can’t be a better place to start than at the foot of Mount Orford.AN ENCORE AT $7,454 5 Year GUARANTEE OR 80000 KM.Here is a Fantastic offer on 2 successful

holds a really bad hand.Mike explains that there is nothing you can do with such hands except hope that your opponents will misbid or misplay.Anyway, he is encouraged by the fact that he doesn't know this pair and they don’t look formidable.He checks their convention card to see that they lay five-card majors.Then e follows with his higher spade to his partner’s spade lead South wins the trick, leads a heart and plays dummy's nine.Mike takes his 10 and wonders what is going on.South surely has only a four-card heart suit.Coiild South have mistaken the ace of diamonds for the ace of hearts?Possibly, so Mike leads back his second spade.No such luck.South wins the spade, draws trumps (he did have only four hearts), cashes the good spades and his ace of clubs, and leads a second club.He finesses the jack to set up an unneeded discard of a diamond on dummy's club king, loses two diamonds and makes four-odd for a normal result.Needless to say, Mike is upset.South made’ a horrible play in trumps, which didn't cost him, and then took that practice finesse in clubs.A practice finesse is one taken just to see if finesses are working.It will cost a trick if it loses and will gain nothing if it wins (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN ) WEST ?J 108 ?87 ?A CJ J 3 + Q8 73 South l¥ Pass CASH BONUS 50< (minimum $2.00 slip) Expires April 15/84 1/client REDEEMABLE IN DRY CLEANING
