LONDON (AP-CP) — A gunman firing from a window of the Libyan Embassy sprayed submachine-gun rounds today at Libyan students protesting the military regime of Libyan leader Col.Moammar Khadafy.Ten students and a policewoman were wounded, Scotland Yard said.Police rushed to the embassy, on fashionable St.James’s Square a few blocks from Buckingham Palace, and sealed off surrounding streets.Several buildings, including British Columbia’s government office, were evacuated during the crisis.The provincial office, which handles trade and other matters, is located in a building which backs onto St.James Square.A dozen sharpshooters were dropped by helicopter into the area.A short time after the mid-morning shooting, a man emerged from the embassy and surrendered to police, witnesses said.The shooting was the latest in a string of attacks on Libyan exiles opposed to Khadafy.An ambulance service spokesman said the injured were taken to Westminster Hospital, where the policewoman and a demonstrator were in serious condition.Claudette Williams, an employee in an office near the embassy, or People’s Bureau, said in an interview with the London Broadcasting Corp.radio station that she saw the students gather in the square, then begin marching toward the embassy.Police kept them in clusters.“We heard a round of machine-gun fire.and we saw a student to the right of the building fall, and then of course everything went mad,” she said.Advertising executive Dave Robson, also interviewed on the radio, said a policeman was brought into his office in shock, because he was the boyfriend of the wounded policewoman.Last month, after 26 people were injured in a series of bombings in London and Manchester, England, three Libyan students were charged and five other Libyans were deported.Police said those attacks were aimed at opponents of Libyan leader Col.Moammar Khadafy and warned Libyan exiles here to be on guard.Foreign Office officials summoned Libyan diplomats and told them Britain expected Libya to do its best to stop violence against people living here.BOSTON (AP) — André Viger, a 31-year-old Sherbrooke businessman, outdistanced the field and fought off a stiff headwind Monday to become the first official winner of the wheelchair division of the Boston Marathon.His years of all-weather practice in the streets of Sherbrooke have finally paid off with a big win.“I feel happy, really happy,” Viger said after crossing the finish line with an unofficial time of two hours five minutes 20 seconds.“Cold, a little bit.” For the second consecutive year, the winner of the women’s wheelchair division was Sherry Ramsey of Arvada, Colo.“It was my third time, and the hardest,” Ramsey said.Jim Martinson, 37, a wounded Vietnam veteran from Puyallup, Wash., finished second among the men His time was a full ten minutes slower than the Eastern Townships racer.He was followed by Tom Foran of Glastonbury, Conn.In previous years, wheelchair participants have not had official sanction, but the Boston Athletic Associa- tion recently voted unanimously to establish a separate category Vigor’s time was well off the world record of 1:47:11, set by J im Knaub of Long Beach, Calif, at the Boston Ma rathon last year.“The race today was really hard,” Viger said "The worst thing was the wind.” “And they told me the Boston ma It's spring and everything's just 'ducky' RECORD/PfcTER SCOWEN It’s definitely spring and these charming little ducklings are making the most of it.Unfortunately, with Easter coming up on the weekend, there is a temptation to treat these fiuffly delights, and baby chicks as well, as potential playthings for children.Why not do them and your children a favor and leave the ducks where they belong — on the farm?‘Third place’candidates putting on brave face Two Liberal leadership candidates visiting Montreal Monday tried to put a brave face on their dismal showing last weekend during the first round of meetings in Quebec to pick delegates for the June convention Justice Minister Mark MacGuigan and Employment Minister John Roberts both claimed they are in third spot.But so far in Quebec, third spot appears to be synonymous with last place.About 100 Quebec delegates were picked on the weekend during meetings in 10 ridings and another 27 in three Quebec ridings on Monday.About one-third of the delegates claimed to be uncommitted and the rest appeared to be evenly split between Energy Minister Jean Chretien, a Quebecer, and John Turner, a former Montrealer now living in Toronto.None of the delegates publicly declared support for any other candidate.MacGuigan, of Windsor, Ont., predicted he will nick up delegate sup- port in Quebec in time for the June 14-17 leadership convention.“You’ll note there’s a very large group of undecideds among the delegates chosen in Quebec,” MacGuigan told reporters.Roberts, of Toronto, was also trying to pin his chances on wooing some of the uncommitted delegates and on stealing delegates from his competitors.Chretien and Turner may be in front now, Roberts said, but during the next two months delegates will realize that “the two front-runners aren’t really what they want.” Chretien told reporters in Ottawa he was “very satisfied” with the Quebec results and chided reporters for writing stories he said underestimated his support.“You’ve written for a month that I’ve nothing in Quebec.You should be suprised that I'm neck-in-neck with Turner, if not ahead.” That, however, does not appear to be the situation across the country.Initial soundings from about 550 of the first delegates picked countrywide show about half of the people undecided, with Turner picking up about two-thirds of the committed vote.Chretien comes second with about one-quarter of the committed vote.Only about two dozen delegates have declared for all the other candidates combined.This situation could change radical ly in weeks to come as ridings particu-larily sympathetic to one or another of the candidates hold their delegate selection meetings.Chretien also stated Monday that he is not just a Quebec candidate.“I’m a Canadian candidate.I don’t present myself as the favorite son of Quebec, even though I’m the favorite of Quebecers.” Johnston and MacGuigan both tried to score some points against Turner during their visits to Montreal.Turner’s statement last week that he supports the principles of Quebec’s language law, which makes French the sole official language of the province, raised the eyebrows of many Liberals.MacGuigan described the law as distasteful and Roberts said he is not enthusiastic about it.One of the authors of that law, Quebec Premier Rene Levesque, was visiting France Monday and did some musing of his own on the leadership race.The departure of Prime Minister Trudeau from Parliament will cause federal politics to be dominated by an glophones, Levesque is quoted as saying in Ouest-France, the largest circulation daily in northwest France.In St.John’s, Nfld., Turner waded into the sticky offshore resource issue Monday, promising that Newfoun dland would get a friendlier reception in Ottawa by a government headed by him than it has by the current administration.Critics call Macdonald economic report ‘bucket of mush’ TORONTO (CP) — Canadians might just have to accept a lower standard of living and high unemployment in the years ahead if the country’s manufacturing sector isn’t expanded, Donald Macdonald said Monday after releasing his interim report on the economy.Although the report supports the goal bf full employment, the chairman of the royal commission on the economy told a news conference he is “not at all confident” enough jobs can be created within 10 or 15 years to end Canada's high unemployment.Macdonald conceded that little in the report is new, a statement heartily endorsed by political and business critics, one of whom called it a “bucket of mush.” “The message that came through very clearly is that what has worked very well for Canada over the last 35 years is not going to work so well in the future,” said Macdonald.“If we re going to want to have that kind of growth we’ve become used to, there are going to have to be substantial adjustments.” He said one of the “myths and cliches about the Canadian economy ” his commission heard was that natural resources, such as timber and minerals, are inexhaustible.Macdonald said unless Canadians end their dependence on exports of natural resources, get into new areas of manufacturing and try to reach broader markets, they will have to put up with being poorer.The commission headed by the former Liberal finance minister has spent 17 months and $10 million of its $22-million budget crisscrossing the country and sounding out opinions on Canada’s economic direction.And although its interim report says full employment must remain the government’s fundamental objective, it makes no specific recommendations on how to lower the jobless rate or keep inflation and interest rates at manageable levels.John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said he could have written the same report by compiling a year’s copies of financial newspapers.The report takes no stand on the great economic issues of the day.Instead, it sets out about 60 “challenges and choices” for Canada in areas ranging from job creation and industrial and trade policy to education, social policy, government relations and electoral reform.They include: — Expanding the economy while li- miting inflation.— Controlling wages and prices — Providing greater protection for domestic industries.— Encouraging rapid adoption of new technologies.— Placing greater emphasis on basic education.— And instituting proportional representation in elections and reforming the Senate.REPORT NEXT YEAR A full report, including recommendations on social and economic policies, is expected next year.Conservative Industry Critic Michael Wilson called the report “thin” and said that after more than a year Canadians have a right to expect more than a number of questions.“We could have told them what the questions were.” New Democrat House Leader Ian Deans said the commission should either be shut down immediately or told to get cracking with a plan for action However, spokesmen for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council on National Lssues, a group of top executives, had kinder words for the commission.Marsha Gordon, policy coordinator for the chamber, said the commission is carrying out an important task by giving Canadians the opportunity to discuss the country’s economic future.Thomas d’Aquino of the business council said the document addresses a number of the key issues affecting Canadians."What is crucial now is that we all put our backs to the wheel and run with some of the proposed solutions quickly.” Macdonald said the interim report will stimulate national discussion and comments about which policy choices Canadians believe are the best for the country.FORUMS PLANNED The 13 commissioners will fan out across the country to conduct a final round of policy debates or forums over the next few months before wri ting their final report.The months of public hearings and more than 1,100 submissions the commission has received since it was created in the fall of 1982 showed that Canadians recognize social, political and economic changes must be made for the country to return to the robust health it enjoyed for most of the postwar years.Macdonald said.The long-awaited report on the Canadian economy arrived yesterday and both report and commission chairman Donald Macdonald came under heavy criticism.rathon was easy,” he laughed.“I rolled with two other racers until mile five," Viger said “After that 1 moved ahead and I ended up 10 minutes in front of them " Ramsey agreed the run was diffi cult, saying, “It was hard, very hard It just wasn't as much fun as it usually See BOSTON page 12 Cartier a non-event in France PARIS (CP) —Prime Minister Tru deau’s departure from the Canadian political scene will leave federal poll tics dominated by anglophones.Que bec Premier Rene Levesque is quoted as saying in an interview published in Ouest-France, the largest circulation daily in France."This will give an advantage to To ronto interests,” Levesque is quoted in the interview published in (he wee kend edition of Ouest-France.“That 's what must be corrected in the inte rests of Quebec."We (Quebecers) have to get out

years ago to discover Quebec, the way the premier told it, or Canada, as Ca nadian officials insisted, was covered by major Paris newspapers.Left-leaning Liberation noted that John Cabot discovered Newfoundland in 1497, 38 years before Cartier sailed by the island The newspaper also mentioned the presence in St.-Malo of Huron Indian chief Max Gros-Louis, who dismissed Cartier as a “tourist." "But who was listening to him?" the newspaper commented Liberation also referred to St Malo Mayor Marcel Planchet’s aside that St Malo was once an independent re public and Levesque’s longing rejoin der: “If you knew how much that makes us (Quebecers) reflect It will come for us one day.” PEPIN IN TOWN Liberation, the right-wing Le Figa ro and the French Communist party’s L’Humanite took note of the presence of federal External Relations Monter Jean-Luc Pepin at the St.-Malo ceremonies but steered clear of the in temal Canadian debate.Le Monde, the intellectual daily.did not mention the Cartier celebrations, which drew SOO.OOO spectators to St -Malo, and did not cover Levesque s visit to France.NATO arms proposal has slim chance BRUSSELS (Reuter) — NATO ne gotiators will put fresh proposals for reducing troops in Central Europe to the Warsaw Pact today as part of a two-pronged Easter arms control of fensive.NATO envoys will outline their new ideas at the long-stalled Vienna talks on Mutual and Balanced Force Re ductions as U S, Vice-President George Bush presents a draft treaty for a worldwide ban on chemical weapons at separate talks in Geneva, Switzerland In both forums the Soviet reaction is likely to be a frosty “no" to demands for stringent verification which Mos cow sees as an unacceptable intrusion into its military domain, western analysts said.NATO sources said the Vienna pro posais are aimed at breaking a dea dlock on the central issue of the size of Soviet bloc forces which has dogged the marathon talks since they began in 1973.The West says the Warsaw Pact un derstates its forces by about 180,000 men.Moscow has refused to negotiate on the basis of this figure.NATO envoys now will seek an un derstanding on a range of figures rather than absolute agreement on a single number for each sides' forces.OFFER NEW RULES They will also offer new counting rules which allow for the fact that some tasks performed by civilians in the West are carried out by uniformed soldiers in the East.In return, the West demands enhan ced verification safeguards to ensure compliance with any agreed rediu tions 2—The RKl'ORD—Tuesday, April 17.I9K4 Chance remark leads 'shy, polite’ killer of six to BC.courtroom KAMLOOPS, B.C.(CP> — David William Shearing, often described as shy and polite as a youngster, walked into a packed courtroom Monday, bowed his head and pleaded guilty to the cold blooded murder of six people 20 months ago.Shearing, who celebrated his 25th birthday six days ago, trembled in the prisoner's dock and his guilty pleas grew softer as the charges were read one by one He brushed tears from his eyes after the final guilty plea to the six counts of second degree murder Only a chance remark resulted in the courtroom appearance Monday, for frustrated police had spent more than a year scouring half the country for what they believed were two other suspects.Mr.Justice Harry McKay, who also presided at the trial of mass murde rer Clifford Olson, will pronounce sentence today in British Columbia Su prcine Court McKay was told that Shearing signed statements Nov 19 and Nov.2Ü, 19K2, outlining how he murdered the six members of the Johnson and Bentley families.The families were camping at Wells Gray Provincial Park 150 kilometres north of Kamloops.WATCHED FAMILIES Crown counsel Robert Hunter read from the statements that sometime between Aug 6 and 13,1982, Shearing sneaked up on the campsite one night and watched the two families.The next night, he returned with a .22-calibre rifle and gunned down the four adults sitting around the campfire.Shearing killed Robert and Jacqueline Johnson of Kelowna, B.C., and Jacqueline’s parents, George and Edith Bentley of Port Coquitlam, B.C.Shearing then went to the tent and shot the Johnsons’ two daughters, Janet, 13, and Karen, 11 He put the bodies in the Johnsons’ car and hid it near his home He then went back for the Bentleys’ truck-camper and parked it with the car.The next night, he drove the car to a remote spot in the park and set it aflame using gasoline.The car and what remained of the bodies were found in September 1982.A couple of nights later, after taking some things from the truck, including a tape recorder, a camera and a boat and motor, Shearing drove the truck to remote spot near a ravine and burned it as well.FOUND LAST YEAR The truck wasn’t discovered until October 1983.Interviews with Clearwater residents led police to believe that two French-Canadian men were driving it.After the pair were spotted in North Battleford, Sask., police decided to drive a similar camper from British Columbia to Quebec in hope of gaining more information.Police also had a re-enactment of the crime shown on television across Canada in an attempt to get more leads.Hunter is asking that McKay not allow Shearing to be eligible for parole for 25 years.But defence lawyer Frederick Kaatz said that although the crime was horrendous, “David Shearing is still a human being.” About 20 relatives and friends of the Johnsons and Bentleys sat in the first two rows of the 75-year-old courtroom and listened as Kaatz read a letter from Shearing’s brother, Greg.Greg, a former deputy sheriff and corrections officer, described his brother as hard-working, sensitive, compassionate and always willing to help someone in need.In the letter, Greg asked: “What happened to this young fellow who was kind and considerate?” STARTED DRINKING Greg said their father was found to have lung cancer in 1981 and David “drank hard and worked hard trying not to realize that Dad would soon not be around.” The father died in March 1982 of a heart attack suffered during his final chemotherapy treatment.Greg admitted his brother had “some minor brushes with the law” and had been fined $50 for possession of marijuana in 1980 and fined $500 for impaired driving in 1983.But he said his brother is filled with remorse about the killings and “is at pain with himself.” Other supporting letters described Shearing as shy, considerate, well-read and of above-average intelligence.Shearing finished second in his mechanics class at Cariboo College in Kamloops and at the time of his arrest was taking business management courses by correspondence from an American university.Asked how the family felt attendine the trial, George and Edith Bentley’s son Brian said they felt no anguish.“Being this involved, we just wanted to set it first-hand.” Earlier in the day, Hunter said police were told last fall — more than a year after the murders — that Shearing was asking if it would be possible to fix up a 1981 Ford truck-camper and patch a bullet hole.That led RCMP in November 1983 to question Shearing, who had moved from Clearwater, B.C., on the boundary of the park to Tumbler Ridge in northeastern British Columbia to look for a job.They also had evidence that in 1980 Shearing had driven over a man who had passed out on the road and failed to report the accident to police.The man had a blood-alcohol level of .24 and was killed by the accident.Although Shearing admitted to the hit-and-run during the interviews, he hasn’t been charged.Brooklyn multiple murder thought to be drug related NEW YORK (AP) — Victims of the city’s largest mass killing in recent memory were found in front of a blaring TV set like figures “in a wax museum.'' police said Monday.A crying baby was the lone survivor among the bodies of two women and eight infants discovered Sunday in what police said may have been a drug related revenge slaying.“There were bodies all over the place." said Carmine Rossi, a baker who found the surviving infant girl among the bodies in a Brooklyn apartment.“They were sitting up.It looked like a wax museum, like dummies They were all dressed like they were alive, watching TV.” Police said the slayings may have been drug related because milk sugar used to cut heroin and foil often used to wrap narcotics were found in the apartment.In the Colombian drug world, murdering children is a revenoe tactic that has been used as a reprisal against adults, said Patrick Murphy, first deputy police commissioner.Although the victims in the massacre were Puerto Rican, the revenge motive was being investigated, he said."We’re looking into the possibility it could be a reprisal because of some bad blood," Murphy said at a news conference “We re speculating because of the fact that there were young children involved and they were murdered in the fashion they were.” DISCOVERS BODIES Enrique Bermudez, who lived at the apartment and discovered the bodies after returning home, was being in- terviewed and his background “being explored,” Murphy said.Murphy said Bermudez was not a suspect “at this point.” Police spokesman Tony Vallelong said early today that Bermudez’ status had not changed.Published reports today indicated Bermudez had served four years in prison after a 1974 conviction for selling heroin.The reports said he was currently on parole.A $10,000 reward for leading to the arrest or conviction of the killers was offered by the city, which set up a special hotline for information in the case.The 10 slayings top the largest recent multiple slaying in which six people were shot to death in a Harlem apartment in 1979.But officers said nothing compared to Sunday’s grim findings.“I don’t think any of us has ever seen a shooting like this,” Murphy said.The victims w'ere shot in the head at close range at about 2 p m.Sunday, and Murphy said two weapons were used leading police to believe there were two killers.No weapons were recovered.Christina Perez.11 months old.was the only survivor.Rossi, who was summoned by Bermudez, discovered her crying and crawling around in the bloody living room where some of the' bodies were found.She was taken to hospital and later to police headquarters.Murphy said he was not sure why the infant was spared, but added: “The shooter may have thought he also shot her.” New Métis ‘government’ prepared for jail CAMPERVILLE.Man.(CP) — Taking a page from western history, this prairie community now calls itself “the first modern-day Metis government in Canada.” Mayor Ferdinand Guiboche said Monday this hunting and fishing community of about 350 people has set up its own kind of self government.“We’re probably going to make some rules and laws that are inconsistent with federal and provincial laws.It probably makes the federal and provincial governments unhappy, but that’s their problem.“We’re prepared to go to jail if necessary.” In another interview, however, he said the new government will strive to follow federal and provincial laws.Guiboche said he expects other Metis communities to follow Camper-ville’s example.He noted next year is the 100th anniversary of the death of Louis Riel, the 19th century Metis rebel who was tried for treason and executed in Regina.Manitoba Premier Howard Pawley refused comment, saying he didn't know the situation.Guiboche said the Camperville Metis Government created itself April 9 and has named five cabinet ministers — he is minister of justice.It is designing a flag and formulating a logo.About 95 per cent of the people in Camperville are Metis — people of mixed Indian-white ancestry.SEEKING AID Camperville is administered by the Manitoba Department of Northern Affairs.But Guiboche said, “That department should be scrapped.” He said the com munity will write to the federal and Manitoba governments, asking for financial aid and status equal to that of a provincial government.Guiboche said the community, on the shore of Lake Winnipegosis about 325 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, isn’t breaking away from Canada.“We are not saying we want to be a sovereign nation.“We view our government as something between a municipal government and a provincial government, only with much wider powers than a municipal government.” Guiboche said the Metis’ main aim is management of natural resources and control of decisions concerning fishing, hunting and wildlife conservation.He said the new governing body claims jurisdiction over a surrounding territory of about 150 square kilometres.He said a letter outlining the community’s action is being sent to Prime Minister Trudeau and Pawley.“The reason we did this is we don’t feel that there is a collective will between the Canadian and provincial government to set up the aboriginal governments that the Metis have been asking for.“In our case, we’ve been asking for self-government on a land base.” The newly proclaimed government’s 20-member administrative council appointed its five-member cabinet to look into setting laws and policies on such matters as education, social services and natural resources.It has already established a policy of official bilingualism.“I suppose you could call it a challenge to the governments of Manitoba and Canada,” Guiboche said.“Hopefully, they will respond with some meaningful dialogue.If they don’t, then we’ll have to take measures to bring them to a negotiating table.” He said if Ottawa and the province don’t respond, the Metis may launch a constitutional challenge to both governments based on sections of the Manitoba Act of 1870.The Metis may challenge changes to sections 31 and 32 of the original act that relate to them, said Guiboche, mayor for the last four years.Unlike Indians who come under Ottawa’s jurisdiction, the Metis in Manitoba are under the provincial government, which provides funds for community and social services.Camperville is run by a council that must seek approval from the Northern Affairs Department before going ahead with local projects.Guiboche said that system will remain largely intact, with the new government existing side by side with the present community council.Guiboche, who has also been head of a seven-member community advisory council, said the Metis have felt they have little control over the fate of their community.News-in-brief Sikh extremist violence hits Indian railway system NEW DELHI (Reuter) — Police have arrested 160 students after a wave of railway arson attacks in India's Punjab state, where three revenge killings Monday exposed a rift between extremist and moderate Sikhs.The Press Trust of India news agency said police made a series of raids throughout the Punjab and arrested members of the All India Sikhs Student Federation, outlawed last month for training guerrillas and other seditious activities.The agency quoted an official spo- Weather (” with sunny breaks today and tomorrow.A 30 per cent chance of rain

brother of Bhindranwale, was summoned by police in Fa-ridkot, southwest Punjab, for interrogation, the agency said, without giving details.A 15-hour curfew has been imposed on four towns in Faridkot district today because of tension there, the agency added.In Amritsar, Malik Singh Bhatia, a moderate Sikh leader and member of the sect’s main political party, Akali Dal, was murdered inside the complex of the Golden Temple, the Sikhs' holiest shrine.This broke an unwritten law against violence within its precincts.Refugees plead not guilty MONTREAL (CP) — A group of Iranians arrested during a weekend demonstration against delays in the processing of their applications for refugee status pleaded not guilty Monday to charges stemming from the protest.The 34, arrested Saturday for illegally occupying a refugee centre in the east end of the city, face charges of public mischief and assault and battery against a police officer.Immigrant gets no sympathy MONTREAL (CP) — Immigration Minister John Roberts said Monday the federal government will not be “blackmailed" by an illegal Polish immigrant who has tried to delay his deportation by swallowing pieces of metal and going on a hunger strike.“The man who swallows spoons and others pieces of metal” will be deported as soon as he is fit to travel, Roberts told reporters.Journalists opt for jobs MONTREAL (CP) — Le Devoir’s editorial staff will not ask for pay increases this year in an attempt to help the newspaper recover from the financial problems that have plagued it in recent years.The newspaper is reported to have lost more than $9()(),()(H) in 1983.Its regular daily circulation hovers around the 40,000 mark, well behind Montreal's two other French-language dailies — La Presse and Le Journal de Montreal.Island running out of food FOGO ISLAND, Nfld.(CP) — The 5,000 residents of this island are used to having ice cut them off from the rest of northeastern Newfoundland every spring, but they want some provincial assistance to help weather this year’s longer-than usual interruption.Fogo Island has been isolated for more than a week because the ice pack in 15-kilometre-wide Hamilton Sound has shut down the ferry service and bad weather has kept airplanes from landing.With supplies of eggs, milk, fresh vegetables, meat and other essential food items dwindling, Fogo town council declared a state of emergency Monday and is seeking provincial assistance.Nfld.still short of power ST.JOHN'S, Nfld.(CP)— Electricity was restored to about 75 per cent of the homes in the provincial capital Monday night, but Bell Island, the town hardest hit by a nasty sleet storm last weekend, remained largely without power or telephones.It was raining in Newfoundland Monday, erasing most traces of the thick sleet that caused the trouble Friday and Saturday.Only a few of Bell Island’s 800 homes were receiving power Monday and it could be another week before it is fully restored, said Laurie Conroy, spokesman for Emergency Planning Canada.PQ byelection candidate named Feds may help out Nfld.1________________ftgl tœcara George MacLaren, Publisher Charles Bury, Editor Lloyd G Scheib, Advertising Manager Mark

jobs grant and the sponsorship of a local service club, four unemployed residents have been hired to travel the woods, carrying engra ving pens.OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government could reimburse Newfoundland for up to 90 per cent of cleanup costs after a weekend storm, Y von Pinard, minister responsible for emergency planning, said Monday.Ottawa will do “all it can” to help with repairs if the provincial government makes an application for financial aid, Pinard told the Commons.Parts of Newfoundland, particularly the St.John’s area, suffered major power disruptions during the weekend when sleet storms knocked down power poles and lines.CP buys troubled airline HALIFAX (CP) — CP Air has purchased Eastern Provincial Airways in a deal worth about $67 million, it was announced

17.19H4—3 The Townships Québec to take control away from private hunting clubs By Réal Hébert SHERBROOKE — Private hunting and fishing clubs may soon lose their right to control the lands they lease and patrol, The Record has learned.Guy Chevrette, Minister of Recreation, Fish and Game is planning to force private fish and game clubs in the Eastern Townships into having an unlimited number of members and to conform to the Ministry ’s demands, a government official said last week.According to information received by The Record, Chevrette intends to put pressure on the private clubs by means of a new law, Bill 9, entitled “Law on the Conservation and Preservation of Wildlife.” Articles 36 and 37 of the law specify that only private clubs which sign an agreement conforming to the ministry’s demands will be regarded as ‘approved’ and will be privileged to have auxiliary conservation agents and the protection of the ministry.Auxiliary agents are club members trained in enforcement of hunting laws and who have all the powers of the government’s own full-time game wardens, known as conservation agents.The auxiliaries are the front line of protection against poachers and trespassers since there are only a handful of government agents to cover the Eastern Townships.Clubs refusing to submit to the Ministry’s policies will not only be disregarded but may see their territories converted into sanctuaries where all hunting would be prohibited.The ministry is also training offi- cials whose task will be to meet with the owners of the private clubs and “convince” them to become controlled exploitation zones (ZECs) like those which control public hunting lands, says the official, who spoke only on the condition that he not be named.The government plan stems from the fact that the growing number of private clubs in Québec is making hunting territory accessible to the public practically non-existent.Answering questions on articles 36 and 37 of the new law on wildlife conservation, Chevrette said the existing situation in the Eastern Townships with its 50 private clubs was “intolerable” and he ordered his Ministry to find a solution to the situation.The government’s plans will not sit well with the private clubs.Since the arrival of the Parti Québécois government some 1200 private hunting and fishing clubs, which previously controlled the use of Crown or other public land, have been abolished and replaced with controlled exploitation zones.In the eyes of the private clubs the ZECs.which were created to give hunting and fishing access to all Quebecers, have been a monumental fiasco.Not only have lakes and rivers been exhausted, but ZEC territories have been invaded by more than 10,000 squatters who have built cabins without the authorization of the Ministry of Energy and Resources.In the Eastern Townships however, only five per cent of the land is the property of the government while the other 95 per cent is privately owned.Many of the private clubs have been in existance for years and have functioned so well that the number of these clubs has more than quadrupled.These private groups have a very strict code of ethics and their prin ciple preoccupation is the conservation of wildlife and protection of the environment.However, membership is often limited to landowners or residents of the area covered, or "leased" by the clubs.Thus hunters from out side have trouble finding a place to hunt.This is believed to be the reason behind the Chevrette plan.The clubs protect and survey their respective territories with the help of the auxiliary conservation agents who are authorized by the Ministry of Recreation, Fish and Game The Guy Chevrette .To force game clubs open?agents do an exceptional job according to Carol Lapointe, district chief of conservation for the Eastern Townships, who says auxiliary agents of the private clubs gave out most of the violation notices served last au tumn.Bedford interconnection: Power line routes to be unveiled tonight By Merritt Clifton BEDFORD — Hydro Quebec will suggest to Brome-Missisquoi MRC its three alternate routes for a new power corridor to Vermont tonight.The private meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.in the Cowansville town hall.The new corridor will connect Hydro’s Riceburg substation at Bedford to a Vermont Electric Company (VELCO) substation at Highgate.Hydro’s preferred route is expected to plunge straight south from Riceburg, crossing the border between Eccles Hill and Morse’s Line.VELCO originally wanted the corridor to enter Vermont at Highgate Township, just southeast of Phillip-sburg.This would have saved VELCO an environmental impact hearing in Franklin Township, and in effect would have preserved Vermont farmland at the expense of farms in Quebec.According to Vermont sources, Hydro-Quebec anticipated trouble selling the VELCO plan to the Québec farmland protection board (La Commission de Protection du territoire agricole du Québec, CPTAQ).In addition, a route suiting VELCO without extensively damaging Québec sugarbush might have passed close to Brome-Missisquoi MNA Pierre Paradis’ house south of Bedford.Seeking to minimize delays.Hy- dro asked VELCO to accept a Franklin Township crossing after all.Hydro spokesman Richard Neault says VELCO agreed.VELCO and Franklin Township far mers are now negotiating over whether or not the corridor can be built through a swamp just east of Morse’s Line.Hydro’s preferred route would run east of the swamp, closer to Eccles Hill, having less im pact upon Québec farms and trout streams, but more upon Vermont farms.The rest of the preferred route would pass close to Guthrie, cutting between Campbell Corners and Pigeon Hill.It will not go quite as far east as the Eccles Hill historical mo- nument, but will be visible from the Eccles Hill summit and will also pass within sight of another historical monument, the Groat Brook covered Bridge.Hydro’s two alternate routes will involve relatively minor variations on the above.The border crossing will not be moved west of Morse’s Line, nor can it go farther east than border benchmark BM 620-B without invol ving Frelighsburg, which so far is not on Hydro’s consultation list.PERMIT SOUGHT Hydro-Quebec applied Friday to the National Energy Board in Ottawa .to export the new 200 megawatts of power to Vermont.The contracts for “firm and inter- partment of Public Services (the state board which regulates Vermont’s privately owned power utilities) run for 10 years from September 1985.The board has not yet set a date for a public hearing on the application.The line must be built by September, 1985, in order to supply replacement power when VELCO shuts down the Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor for 18 months of repairs.Hydro expects to sell VELCO $600 million worth of electricity over this line during the next 10 years The line will have a relatively light capacity of 125 kilovolts, which cannot be increased from the present connecting grid.Hydro’s consultation schedule includes meeting with the Stanbridge day night.at8p m ; meeting with the Missisquoi Historical Society board of directors at

McDougall RICHMOND — Work on a long-awaited flood prevention project could start as early as this summer, Richmond Mayor André Lupien said Monday.Lupien released the news at a press conference where Richmond MP Alain Tardif announced Ottawa is ready to fund its share of the project.All that remains before work begins is the signing of an agreement set down last December between Ottawa and Québec to share the cost.“I'm ready to sign tomorrwow,” said Lupien, who added the work will take two years to complete if the agreement comes this month.Lupien said the agreement will be signed between Québec and Ottawa but the town will be working only with the provincial government under the terms of the agreement.The project involves the building of water pumping stations and dikes along the town's side of the St.Francis River.The total cost of the dike project is $4,370,000.of which Québec and Ottawa would each pay 45 per cent, or $1.966,500.The town will pay the remaining 10 per cent, or $437,000.The project was proposed two years ago by the Québec Environment Ministry but disagreements over how much Québec and Richmond would each pay delayed construction.It was then that Ottawa was asked to pitch in with the costs.“The funds have been made ready as of last week,” said Tardif.“The project can be started right away.It is MO.,* rain s* André Lupien .Happy with federal help.a simple question of getting the authorization to complete the agreement.” Tardif admitted under questioning by reporters that Richmond has had to share the flood priority status with Milles Isles, west of Montreal, where flash floods occur almost every year.“That is not to say that Richmond will get no money if Milles Isles gets funding first.There will be money enough for both, though the worst that can happen is a delay of five or six months,” said Tardif.Tardif sent a message to Québec to speed up the signing of the agreement by saying Richmond residents are be- coming impatient.“Québec has told everyone here since last December they are ready to sign.That has everyone anxious so I don’t think either Ottawa or Québec should delay the agreement any longer.” Tardif added an early signing of the agreement would speed up government funding from Ottawa.The only other hurdle the town of Richmond has is a possible referendum because of the cost of the project.Lupien estimated the diking will cost taxpayers 14 cents per 100-dollar evaluation.That is added to a 29-cent increase because of a planned $7-million water purification plant and sewer overhaul that will be initiated at the same time by request of the Québec government.Lupien said the referendum would be included as a condition in the Québec-Ottawa agreement.“Nothing will be done until the population has agreed to it.If they want a referendum we will still have some work to do but it will be necessary.” Lupien was not worried about any opposition to the project during the referendum.He said Richmond presently pays one of the lowest tax rates in the region.Added another councillor at the meeting: “As it is right now, if the residents want any value for their property, they have to be in favor of the plan and pay for it.They have to look beyond their next tax bill.” Tardif noted that information he has received from Environment Canada shows the town has suffered 25 floods of various sorts since 1915.CLSC opens three ‘minicentres’ SHERBROOKE (PS) — Sher brooke’s local community service centre {Centre local de services communautaire — CLSO turned ten this year, and it’s now bigger and better than ever.Founded by community members who saw a need for free health and counselling services, today it has three outlets and offers < erything from school help to post-natal courses.It is under the jurisdiction of the Social Affairs Department.Y von Couture .CLS( is penetrating the community’.The outlets, called pointsin French, were only recently opened, and as part of its birthday celebrations this month the CLSC is opening its doors to the public with the goal of informing the population of the services it has to offer.Not that the CLSC hasn't always had an open door.Since 1974 it has offered free, first-come-first-served medical services to the general public, as well as consultations by appointment in the territory it covers.Dental services for children, pre- and post-natal clinics, help for the elderly and counselling of all kinds are also available.Last summer the CLSC opened up three new outlets, or “mini-CLSCs”, as the centre’s director Yvon Couture calls them.They are located in various parts of the city so they can serve as wide a clientele as possible.Point King, at 2130 King west, will be holding an open house on April 26 from seven to nine p.m.during which workers will explain what services they offer, and visitors will have the opportunity to become acquainted with the staff.Point Dunant, in Carrefour Dunant, will have its doors open April 30 at the same time, and Point Centre at 285 King west on May 3.Couture said the CLSC differs from the welfare office in its approach."We offer services to anyone who has troubles,” he said.“And we were created by community members.” The goal of the centre, whose headquarters are situated at 2130 King west, is to “penetrate the community," he added.“The points were desi- gned to keep us from being to centred.” The birthday celebrations start April 26 with a general assembly of which the chief goal is informing the public on the CLSC’s services.Along with the open houses at the three points, there will also be information booths at Place Belvédère and the Carrefour de l’Estrie, from April 24 to 27 and April 30to May 4, respectively.A reunion of past and present staffers and members of the board of directors is also planned.For more information call 565-1330.SHERBROOKE — Police confirmed Monday that one of two shotguns found in a roadside ditch by children playing was stolen from Brink’s guards in a holdup Dec.22 at the Pascal’s store in the Carrefour de l’Es-trie.Guard Yvan Charland was killed in the robbery.The two rusty 12-gauge shotguns, a sawed-off Winchester and a full-length Remington, turned up Friday evening with 20 12-gauge shells and four .303 rifle rounds, all in a plastic garbage bag along with a suede bag and a dark-colored raincoat.The serial number of the Remington matches that of the gun stolen from Charland's companion.Brink's guard Gilles Soquet.Bandits overpowered Soquet with their own guns, took his, then blew Charland's head off when he refused to turn over the $47,000 he was carrying.Police say ballistic tests on the Winchester may show it is the gun used to kill Charland.They are scouring the area where the guns were found, along Dunant Road south of the city, for more clues in the grizzly crime.Meanwhile Sherbrooke police detective Michel Saivail, in charge of the investigation into the Brink’s holdup, has flown to Houston, Texas.Saivail will represent Sherbrooke police in questioning three Québec men arrested last Wednesday by Houston police, Det.Capt.Roland Rousseau of Sherbrooke police said Monday.Three Québec Police Force officers will also fly to Houston to question the men, who were arrested with three women after a hold-up attempt at an airport bank in which two of the suspects and a Brink's guard were wounded.Two young children with the six were placed in a foster home in Houston awaiting the outcome of the investigation.The four Québec officers are expected to stay in Texas about a week as they piece together the links between the suspects’ American and Canadian activities.The three men, all Québecers and all prison escapees, are expected to be tried and sentenced — if found guil ty — in the U.S.courts before they are extradited home to face charges here As well as the Pascal murder, at least one of them is wanted in connection with a series of holdups in credit unions in the Eastern Townships and Beauce in the weeks before the Sherbrooke robbery.Det.Saivail is charged with dangerous use of a firearm in connection with a fatal police raid on a motel the day after the Pascal's robbery/ murder.The day after the robbery, Sherbrooke police raided a motel in Rock Forest, killing Serge Beaudoin, a car pet layer from Québec City, and wounding his partner in the mistaken belief the two men were involved in the Brink's case.Saivail and two other Sherbrooke police officers were charged with dangerous use of a firearm following a coroner’s inquest into the incident.Det.André Castonguay was also charged with manslaughter and assault causing bodily harm, while Det.Roger Dion was also charged with assault causing bodily harm by discharging a firearm.A preliminary hearing into their cases is scheduled for May 7.Québec gives Magog more money for tourism MAGOG (RP) — Québec Labor Mi nister Raynald Fréchette came to Magog Monday singing good news to the tune of $468,750.He officially signed an agreement with the city to purchase four properties at the head of Lake Memphremagog for the development of the Magog-Orford tourism industry.The area around the Audet Marina, its warehouses, an apartment buil ding and the lots behind the Bobine Shop will all be purchased by the project, for which the city will contribute $156,250.The total cost of the project is $625,000.Mayor Antonio Laçasse was quick to point out the necessity of the city’s expenses.“When we want to build, we have to invest and when we invest, we receive benefits.” “This investment will bring us great dividends and I invite the population in four or five years to certify the ope ration undertaken today.” Fréchette reminded the city of the government’s commitment to tou rism.“We have not forgotten we re at the heart of the tourism industry We must create an infrastructure to cor respond to that vocation.” Fréchette said the creation of a tourism infrastructure will provide a place for local investment, a place where “private industry can manifest its interests.” And, Fréchette expects local participation in the project.“The goven-ment would not have got involved if it wasn't convinced of what the region could contribute.” With the acquisition of the four pro Antonio Laçasse from Québec.Gets bundle perties, Fréchette said the city will be able to create better access to the lake and provide ample opportunity for the development of infrastrutures.The purchase will allow a larger space for the beach, the installation of a larger parking lot and therefore, said Laçasse, meet the needs of a growing number that visits the lake each year The money was provided by the re gional development fund of the Que bec planning and development office.Just too authentic to discount as mere fiction There seems to be no end of stories about a dog’s so-called “sixth sense ”.And while some of these are undoubtedly traceable to animal lovers who hate to spoil a lovely yarn by sticking too closely to the truth, every once in awhile an instance comes to light which seems just too authentic and too remarkable todiscount as mere fiction or coincidence.Now I see that Duke University, which has long been exploring what it terms “extra sensory phenomena”, has been paying particular attention of late to studying this added sense which some dogs are supposed to have.One of the matters I hope they delve into is the belief some of us have that a dog often seems to possess a supernatural ability to know about death.You remember that in Tom Sawyer the mournful baying of a hound in the middle of the night was a certain sure announcement that so meone had either died, or was just about to die.Of course one can argue that “Tom Sawyer" is a work of fiction, and that the part about hounds H.Gordon k * Green being able to bay at Death is just some more of Mark Twain's wonderful folklore.On the other hand, it was the late Albert Payson Terhune, the greatest dog authority of his time, who related one instance after another to support his conviction that dogs can have a genuine premonition of death.On one occasion he recalls that his own beloved collies broke into a mournful chorus at two in the morning for no visible reason at all; and then early next day Terhune got word that a very close friend of the family had suddenly passed away at the very hour the dogs had begun to howl.I had occasion to think about Ibis strange mat ter one day last summer when the wife and I had quietly agreed that the old Springer who has been under our stove for a long tune, would be better out of the way now He was getting thin, couldn t eat right and now had a big nasty sore in the middle of his back So one morning before the family was up, I quietly picked up my rflo and beckoned the old fellow to follow me “Come on!" 1 said, "Let’s get some starlings!" Now that dog has followed me and my rifle around the farm many and many a time, and he loved it.But this morning he only stood there in the doorway looking at me with the biggest eyes in the world and shivering like a man going to the gallows.I had never seen him act like that before.Did he know?How?Anyhow.I didn’t shoot him I went back to doc taring him I / 4—Thr KKl'OKD—Tuesday, April 17, IHH-I fi_—Ssa UCCOXu The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Running away Cambodian newsman’s fate learned years later It’s more of a revelation than a revolution but the people of Camperville, Manitoba are speaking out and they seem to know what they want After being treated to years of indifference, punctuated with periodic renewals of interest whenever they could be used as pawns in a federal-provincial dispute, the Métis inhabitants of this small Manitoba community have faced the fact that nobody in power anywhere in Canada cares a hoot for or about them and have set up their own government.They have done this not out of a sense of misplaced nationalism unlike that buffoon humiliating himself and his people in St-Malo but rather as a direct statement of how they wish to order their lives, their culture and their future w ithin the Canadian system.They have that right The Métis are unique in Canada in that they are recognized as an aboriginal people, being descended from Indian and French ancestors, but are administered by a provincial rather than the federal government.Their interests in fact are largely ignored.The Metis are aware they can never be properly represented by a bureaucratic clique in the provincial capital and are equally aware that time is running out if they ever wish to gain some control over the natural resources that are theirs by tradition, history and justice, if not by law.They have decided to confront the issue in an open and direct manner.By setting up their own government with its own policies of managing ancestral territory, the Metis will demonstrate in a manner even white folk can understand that they are thoroughly capable of running their own affairs.They will express concretely the hopes they maintain for their future within our supposedly just society and will offer to the politicians an alternate approach to the management of our land.It is refreshing to see a small community take matters into its own hands without invective or bitterness.It will not be so encouraging when the powers that be choose to ignore them.For ignored they will be.The bureaucrats and politicians who make their greedy w-ay up the ladder on the backs of these people have no time to listen to their silly little problems.New committees will be appointed with grand declarations of good will and mounds of data will be accumulated, shuffled and thrown away.The system is invincible, after all.The province of Manitoba, despite the best etforts of its government, lias indicated already its intolerance of minority aspirations and is not likely to change its ways for the sake of a few Métis.Native people have traditionally been treated in this country in a manner that can only be described as genocidal and all the promises from distant governments have done nothing to change that simple fact.Nobody in power is genuinely interested in giving these people justice and very few citizens really care.The Great White Father is a painfully abusive parent, and Camperville has chosen to run away from home.MICHAEL McDEVITT Computer deal may be trade-off MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec's insistence on buying a French-designed computer for use in the province’s schools may be a trade-off to allow the Quebec government-controlled pension fund to invest in France, the monthly newsmagazine L'Actualitesays in its May edition.The magazine says that in return for Quebec buying computers designed by Matra Miero-systemes, the province’s $IK-billion Caisse de depot et placement will be allowed to fund a potentially lucrative cable television network in France But a spokesman for the Caisse denied Friday that such a plan is being contemplated.Premier Rene Levesque announced last December that a $25 7-million contract for 9,000 Axel-20 computers would be awarded to a consortium made up of Matra and the Montreal-based Bytec Comterm But school of ficials and education department computer experts have strongly criticized the selected computer as ina dequate.L’Actualité says it was not able to get all the details of the deal worked out in part by Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau, the minister responsible for the Caisse Quebec has delayed until next month the deadline for delivery of a prototype micro computer.Parizeau, Education Minister Yves Berube and Science Minister Gilbert Paquette have disagreed publicly over whether, in choosing the consortium, the government also selected a particular computer or just a supplier.PREMIER FIRM Premier Rene Levesque said this week that whatever the government decides, it is going to insist on French participation in the design and purchase of the school computers.The Caisse is the agency that invests contributions to the Quebec Pension Plan It invests this money in a number of ventures both inside Canada and abroad.The Caisse expects to invest about $50 million outside the country this year.Caisse spokesman Jean-Claude Scraire denied that the Caisse is about to fund a cable network in France.*Tt wouldn't be unthinkable nothing’s unthinkable if it's profitable — but it hasn't been the subject of discussions here,” said Scraire While the Caisse isn’t closing the door on such investments, they would likely be made not by the Caisse itself but by companies in which il has an interest.“I have heard of no concrete developments on the matter," said Scraire.By Denis D.Gray PHNOM PENH (AP) — He was presumed dead but it was only nine years later we learned what really happened to one of those unsung heroes of journalism.Mean Leang — a chubby, smiling, intelligent fellow — was executed one day in 1976 by the Khmer Rouge in the western Cambodian province of Pursat.As one of a dozen "stringers” — part-time reporters — for The Associated Press he refused evacuation from the besieged city of Phnom Penh in 1975, sticking to his typewriter and sending out vivid stories even as the Khmer Rouge swept into the capital.Just before communications were cut he wrote a final message: "I alone in office, losing contact with our guys.I feel rather trembling, do not know how to file our stories now.Maybe last cable today and forever.” The story of his death was told to me by his wife, whom 1 met by accident one evening near the Samaki Hotel where her two daughters were selling flowers to supplement the family's meagre income.Like so many happenings under the Khmer Rouge terror.Mean Leang’s action was difficult to understand, even for his wife.He seemed, she said, obsessed with returning to Phnom Penh — a city abhorred by the Khmer Rouge Communists for its allegedly bourgeois deca-dance.So when Mean Leang asked the lo- Letters cal Khmer Rouge for permission to return to the capital they killed him with pickaxes.Mean Leang was one of a number of Cambodians hired by western news organizations during the 1970-75 war between the Khmer Rouge and the U S.-backed regime of President Lon Nol.Their job was to gather information, take photographs and shoot television film on the battle-fronts and in Phnom Penh.MOST BRAVE They had nicknames like Moonface and The Colonel and came to news work from varied backgrounds before the war— tourist guides, interpreters, movie actors, civil servants.All were resourceful and most were exceptionally brave.Mean Leang, a fine linguist, had been summoned by the government to act as a censor of foreign news dispatches.The job didn't suit his personality and one day he quit to join those whose stories he had somewhat lackadaisically been examining.The Khmer Rouge forces were already ringing the capital, hurling rockets to demoralize the near-starving population.The United States kept Phnom Penh alive with airlifted infusions of rice, but the airport.too, was threatened.The stringers working for the AP were called together and offered evacuation.But when American staffers were whisked out by helicopters all but one of the stringers had chosen to remain behind in Phnom Penh.The office was left to a group we called The Big Three.One was Saing Hel, a gentle and handsome author of romantic novels who had also written a condemnation of the Lon Nol government that nearly cost his life.The second was Sun Heang, a dark-faced, generous, philosophical type, who once dubbed actors’ lines in Cambodian movies.The third was Mean Leang, who had in a short time become dedicated to his job and fiercely loyal.April 17, 1975.The Khmer Rouge penetrated the last of Phnom Penh’s defences.The population, relieved the savage war was over, rushed into the streets and decked the city with white flags.Mean Leang, collecting information from the others, wrote aboutit, messaging that he was shuttling with his typewriter between the office and the old French colonial building from which the stories were sent to the outside world.He wrote his last message and the stories stopped.KHMER ROUGE HELL Cambodia had begun its descent into the Khmer Rouge hell.Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, died in the ensuing reign of terror.Mean Leang’s family was put to work as rice farmers after having been forced out of Phnom Penh at gunpoint along with its entire population of some three million.Mean Leang’s wife said that although many succumbed to hardship, her husband held out well, hiding his past as a member of the educated class — a capital crime.Nothing reliable was heard of him or the others for more than three years.But refu gees reported that anybody found to have worked for foreign organizations was summarily executed.1979.the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia spawned a mass exodus to the Thai-Cambodian border, and among the disease-ridden groups that emerged were three of the AP’s dozen stringers.The trio, since resettled in the United States, carried grim stories.There were witnesses to the murder of some.Others had disappeared without a trace.Nothing was heard of Saing Hel.Sun Meang was reported carrying his own death warrant: He kept on taking photographs as the Khmer Rouge herded Phnom Penh’s population into the countryside.‘‘He was a good man, my husband,” Mrs.Mean Leang told me that evening.She tried to fight back the sobs, but they soon overcame her.Denis Gray, chief of the AP bureau in Bangkok, Thailand, reported from Phnom Penh before it was taken by the Khmer Rouge in 1975./ hope this hasn't been too

reading it through the name of William Ellis is mentioned as Mr.Moy’s wife’s daughter.Instead it should have been his sister.William Ellis was my mother’s father and I have been trying to find some information on him.My mother who was Rosa A.Ellis came to live in Cole-brook, N.H., and married my father F.Bert Stevens.Every summer my mother and brother and m '6 mmlMt MI! myself went to Sherbrooke by train.Maine Central to Stratford, N.H., and there changed to Canadian National to come to Sherbrooke and were met at the station with a carriage, something like they have in England now when the Queen is on parade.We would spend a week with my aunts and Uncle James Lowe and his wife my Aunt Jennie and her sister Sarah.Usually it was around the time of the Sherbrooke Fair.During the week we visited at the Moy’s house and I can remember seeing Mr Moy s famous relic room.We also visited next door at Auntie Grindrod and rode the streetcars around Sherbrooke for a nickel and also went to Lennoxville and back.I can also remember Mrs.Edna Wadsworth.Mr.James Moy died in April 1923 and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery.Guess I was looking in the wrong place for my grandfather Ellis’ birth certifi- cate.He lived at Hardwood Hill near Windsor Mills, Que.with his wife Mary Jane Nichols and that is where they are buried.But he was in Sherbrooke when he died on April 23, 1913, and it may have been in The Record.About the cemetery at Hardwood Hill is another story and I have a copy of a newspaper clipping dated April 18, 1975 which I do not know if it is from The Record.I was also interested about what it said about Bury, Quebec, as that is where my husband was born but at the time the article in the paper was written he had moved to the United States.I hope this hasn’t been too boring to read.1 thought it was a nice idea for you to have something written about the past.I would like to hear from you and between us we might find out more about my family.Sincerely, MRS.ELLA

on foreign-policy WASHINGTON (CP) - U.S.foreign policy seems hamstrung on several fronts by election-year politics, leaving the world little choice but to go on hold until after the world’s most potent country decides Nov.6 who will be in charge for the following four years.More now than is customary at most times, domestic partisan polities disrupts or delays Washington's approaches to matters that range from major long-term issues like East-West disarmament and world economic recovery, through tinder-box conflicts in the Middle East and Central America, to such bilateral business as trade and environmental concerns.American and foreign commentators agree that the United States is muscle-bound abroad, partly because of internal argument.Both Reagan and State Secretary George Shultz, blame second-guessing interference in foreign policy by the Congress.The legislators have sniped back in anger because they haven't been consulted enough.Some commentators take comfort from the fact that international affairs at least are high on the agenda of this election-year debate Veteran pundit Janies Heston of the New York Times, for example, applauds evidence that foreign policy is emerging as whal he contends is the niain issue in the presidential election cam paign.ACTION DELAYED But that implies no corrective action for floundering policies until the debate is resolved on election day.And Boston acknowledges that the argument so far has been more subjective than substan tive, “a clash about the personalities and Carl Mollins IN WASHINGTON records of the past.” Meantime, Moscow for one seems set to hunker down and wait out the U.S.election campaign before responding to qualified approaches about resuming dialogue on disarmament, including President Reagan’s proposal to talk also about restricting chemical weapons.Elsewhere, the Middle East has been left to sort out disarray compounded by Washington’s in-and-out attitudes, while civil warriors in Central America are left guessing about the durability of U.S.military commitments battered by domestic debate.In bilateral relations, Canadian officials are resigned to the idea that any settlement of differences on such matters as transboundary acid rain pollution and trade must await the electoral resolution of the domestic political debate, which includes those issues.The impediments to U.S.action arise partly from its commitment to democracy, both in the protracted electoral process — months of primary electioi campaigns to choose candidates, followed bv more months of electioneering — and in the sharing of constitutional powers over foreign policy between the presidential executive and the lawmakers in Congress.POWERS SPLIT The constitution makes the president commander in chief of the armed forces and gives him power to conduct foreign relations through treaties and ambassadors.But it also gives Congress pursestring power over the conduct of foreign affairs, including war, and requires Senate consent for treaties.The inevitable power struggle is compounded, as now, when control of Congress is divided between Republicans (Senate) and Democrats (House of Repre-sentatives), and especially when Congress, as well as the Republican president, faces an election.Examples of the way tussles over domestic political power tend to submerge substantive debate about foreign policy lie in the finger pointing over the withdrawal of U.S.forces from Lebanon and the current struggle over U.S.military intervention in Central America.Reagan and Shultz blame Congress for undercutting force-supported diplomacy in both regions.Congress retorts that it needs to be involved in such decisions.Questions about the correctness or efficacy of the policies in promoting U.S.interests take second place, much less their impact on the people and places directly affected.Shultz has questioned congressional power in the conduct of foreign affairs.Characterizing challenges to U.S.interests abroad as terrorism, he has been arguing publicly that the government must be able to use force free of “paralysis" imposed by second thoughts in the Congress and the news media.RESISTS CONTROL Congress has the right to debate and cri-tieize, he concedes, “but micro management (of foreign policy) by a committee of 535 independent-minded individuals is a grossly inefficient and ineffective way to run any important enterprise.” He has also criticized news organizations for feeding on sensational leaks and lacking “a reflective quality.” An implicit response from Congress and the media followed swiftly Within a single week, a Senate majority first supported and then condemned U.S.military support for rebels in Nicaragua.What changed their minds was not that the CIA was providing the means to mine waters offshore, but only the perception that senatorial dignity had been affronted because some were unaware of all the details, published in the press, of the CIA-rebel collaboration.Similarly, political argument about Reagan s congressionally backed idea that an arms buildup is an essential prelude to achieving disarmament agreements with Moscow — now in chemical weapons and outer space, as well as in nuclear arms — tends to focus in Washington on the financial cost rather than its morality or efficiency.Still awaited is debate on the essence of the Reagan-Shultz foreign policy — that it should be based on what Shultz calls “the nee Wednesday night at the Colisee Game (> will be back at the Forum on Friday night.'We hit them all night.” said Quebec defenceman Bat Price.“The razzle-dazzle wasn’t working so we had to get back to grinding, and we have enough players on this team who can grind.” It took a while for the grinding to produce results, though, as Mon-treal s rookie goaltender Steve Penney continued to frustrate Nordiques’ shooters Quebec outshot Montreal 22-8 over the first 40 minutes but trailed 3-2 entering the third period.Ryan Walter scored at 14:45 of the first period and when Guy Carbon-neau made it 2-0 with 10 seconds left in the period, the Nordiques seemed all but beaten.The Nordiques bump-and-grind tactics kept Montreal hemmed in their own zone for most of the second period, and at 13:36 Wilf Paiement finally poked the puck past Penney.A little more than four minutes later Mario Tremblay split the Nordiques defence and flipped a soft backhander past Daniel Bouchard to make it 3 1.The Nordiques were in the pro-cess of outshooting Montreal 12-3 and were still down by two goals.Eighty seconds after that goal, though, Andre Savard converted a pass from Alain Cote to bring Quebec back into the game “We gave them two bad goals but we didn't quit,” said Nordiques coach Michel Bergeron.“The turning point was when Savard scored that goal right after Tremblay did.” Peter Stastny gave Montreal centre Guy Carbonneau an unnecessary elbow in the first period that seemed a product of frustration but he played a driving game after that.He said the way the Nordiques were playing things had to break for them sooner or later GOT TO COME “After the second period when 1 looked at the shots and they were 22-8,1 said it’s got to come, there’s no way they can keep it up.” The Canadiens kept the play out of their end with more efficiency in the third period, but were outworked be hind their blueline on the tying goal.Stastny outhustled Carbonneau and Tremblay along the boards, pivoted and whipped a backhand pass to defenceman Randy Moller whose high shot eluded Penney.“We weren’t being successful with our attack carrying the puck across the blueline so we had to find another way of getting the puck in their end,” said Moller of the Nordiques new game plan “We just kept dumping the puck in and putting pressure on their defencemen.” One of those defencemen, Craig Ludwig, said the Canadiens were run ning around too much in their zone.“They outworked us along the boards,” said Ludwig.“It was tough, they were pinching down and keeping the puck in “Our second period was just awful If it wasn’t for Steve, we wouldn't have come out of it with the lead ” BOSTON (AP) — Rainy-day runner Geoff Smith, the winner of the 88th Boston Marathon, thrives on wet, windy days in the fall and spring.But what about steamy Los Angeles in the thick of its Olympic summer?No problem, says the confident Englishman who splashed through puddles and crushed the competition Monday to win the Boston Marathon by four minutes and 15 seconds, one of the widest margins in the event’s history.“I think I’m all right,” he said.“I intend to come back and train under those (warmer) conditions.” Last Oct.23, another cool and rainy day, Smith led for much of the New York City Marathon only to be passed by Rod Dixon in the final stretch run.Smith finished second in two hours, nine minutes, eight seconds, the fastest debut marathon in history.His time of 2:10:34 Monday in his second marathon was only the 79th fastest in history and the slowest winning time since 1980.But he was running into a stiff headwind.Smith, 30, also was trying to over- come the resistance of the British Amateur Athletic Board, which is scheduled to choose on May 15 Britain's three marathoners in the Olympic run Aug.12, the last day of the Summer Games in Los Angeles.BOARD UPSET Board members were upset that Smith chose to run here instead of in the London Marathon on May 13.“It should impress them,” Smith said of his performance.“I know it impressed me.If the wind had been in my favor, I think 1 could have run twm or three minutes faster,” possibly challenging Alberto Salazar’s world record of 2:08:13.Smith had predicted he would beat the relatively weak field over the 41.2-kilometre course.And he did it by taking the lead from Arega Abraha of Ethiopia early and never losing it.Smith was asked who will be the hardest runner to beat in the Olympic marathon.“Me,” he said without hesitation.Little-known Gerry Vanasse of New Milford, Conn., finished a distant second in 2:14:49.out of a total of about Continued from page one is.” TUTORS DEAF A victim of spina bifida at birth, Ramsey tutors deaf children in Colorado.Viger, co-owner of a chain of jewelry stores, lost the use of his legs in an automobile accident 10 years ago.He blamed his relatively slow time on the rain and a steady wind that blew at the racers over the 42.1-kilometre course.All the top finishers complained about puddles and the difficulty they had in getting a grip on their thin racing tires with soaked gloves.The starting field of 30 men and women was cut when Knaub and Marty Ball of Rhinebeck, N.Y., decided not to race because of the weather and road conditions.Another wheelchair racer, Laverne Achenbach of Birmingham, Ala., dropped out after about one kilometre when she blew a get him high 6,800 entrants.It was not known how many actually ran in the nasty weather The winning margin in the women’s competition was even greater and enhanced winner Lorraine Moller’s chance to make New Zealand’s Olympic team.PERSONAL BEST She finished in a personal best time of 2:29:28, nearly seven minutes slower than the world record of 2:22:42 set last year by Joan Benoit.Midde Hamrin of Sweden, also fighting for an Olympic berth, was second Monday in 2:33:51.Allison Roe, the 1981 Boston Marathon women’s winner, dropped out near the end with a hamstring problem.While foreigners hoped the Boston Marathon would improve their Olympic prospects, Americans, busy preparing for their Olympic trials next month, stayed away in droves.In an unwelcome ending, Tony Nota, a veteran timer, suffered a heart attack and died after working the race.tire.Medical experts had been concerned that wheelchair racers might suffer hypothermia in their lower extremities because of circulation problems, but all the top finishers appeared in good shape, except for blistered hands.NEW CHAIR Viger placed some of the credit for his win on his new space-age wheelchair.“This chair weighs 14 pounds instead of 24, which helped me a lot on the hills.” He says Boston’s bumpy streets gave him a rough roll.“At 15 miles an hour on pavement like that, the chair bounces around, but it worked out fine and I didn’t have any problems.” Viger has been training for the big Boston race since he completed the Tampa Marathon in Florida in February.He has a number of other long-distance races planned for the coming months, including the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.He will also be racing at St-George-de-Beauce, Toronto and Montreal.Viger’s practice partner Alain Bail-largeon, also of Sherbrooke, finished the Boston roll with a time of 2 hours, 30 minutes.He said he was “very happy” with his performance.RECKLESS TRAINING Viger, Baillargeon and company do their training rolls in the streets, roads and highways of Sherbrooke and vicinity.Anywhere from two to eight of them can be seen at all times of the day or night, year round, pumping their chairs down the streets and around the corners without fear of man, beast or automobile.At times they move faster than the motorized traffic they have to dodge.The handicappers seem to take joy in combatting adversity.They practise in all weather, even during snowstorms.They play games with each other, race a gainst traffic lights, skid through corners and sharp turns in controlled slides and seem to enjoy their sport far more than nonhandicapped roadracers, who usually wear a grimace and curse the road, their shoes, the weather and other obvious targets.But the wheelers race strictly for fun, smiling all the way.Scoreboard BASEBALL HATKHUL UAGUf 1*» DM MM » l Pd N55Y • 15 ALWAYS RIGHT SALISBURY 1064 iStnbvttd NE A,lr< x HAVE YOU
