still has a “sour after-taste’’ about the way the Canadian Constitution was “rubber stamped by your mother of parliaments,” Premier Rene Levesque told a British business audience Tuesday.In a humorous but often barbed speech to the Canada-U.K.Chamber of Commerce, Levesque laid out a red carpet for British investment But in doing so, the premier made no effort to play down either the eonti-nuing Ottawa-Quebec City differences or his party ’s long-term goal of Quebec independence.He blamed Ottawa’s high-interest-rate policies for the deep economic setbacks suffered by the province in 1982-83, but said recovery is under way.Levesque predicted strong economic growth in Quebec, and sought to allay the fears of some British businessmen that the separatist aims of the Parti Québécois make Quebec a poor place for investment.Business confidence is back in Quebec, said Levesque, adding he knew of “no place on Earth, even if I say so myself, where people are better pri- med and equipped to deal faithfully with this renewed buoyancy.” Many businessmen realize the political situation doesn’t matter as long as the government provides a good economic climate, Levesque said at a news conference following his speech.He said Britain is Quebec’s second-most important trade market after the United States.To reassure British investors, l-e vesque concluded his speech by saying "supposing we should finally decide to break out of our ohsolete federal straitjacket and do our own thing, which 1 truly believe is to be hoped for both Quebec and Canada, we fully intend, if accepted, to remain a member in good standing of the Commonwealth New contacts with Soviets — Johnston Economic Development Minister Donald Johnston promised Tuesday that, as prime minister, he would encourage scientific and cultural contacts with the Soviet Union rather than engage in “belligerent rhetoric.” “Donald Johnston has fresh ideas for improving Canada Soviet relations and the East-West dialogue — a necessary step on the road to complete nuclear disarmament,” the Liberal leadership candidate said in a written foreign policy statement issued in Ottawa.Johnston also boasted that as minister for science and technology he has had experience negotiating with the Soviet Union on technological exchanges.“As prime minister, Donald Johnston plans to continue the broad range of social and scientific contacts that establish a firmer relationship and understanding between the Eastern and Western nations.” Meanwhile, the front-runner in the campaign, John Turner, was campaigning for the second consecutive day in Newfoundland.He received a lukewarm response in Cornerbrook, where he promised to try to resolve the offshore oil dispute between Ottawa and the province, assist the pulp and paper industry and to ensure a good livelihood for fishermen.Speaking in St.John’s Monday on the sticky offshore issue, Turner said Newfoundland would get a friendlier reception in Ottawa with him as prime minister than it currently gets.Energy Minister Jean Chretien, Turner’s chief rival for the leadership and the minister responsible for the offshore negotiations, refused to comment Tuesday on Turner’s statement.“I will wait for the clarification,” Chretien told the Commons, in an apparent reference to the two clarifications Turner has issued after making surprising policy statements on minority language rights, once about the Manitoba situation and then about Quebec.From Calgary, Alberta Liberal Leader Nick Taylor said early results from a poll to test the popularity of Iona Campagnolo, national party president, show “nice” support for her.But Taylor said results of the national poll may not be released publicly.Campagnolo has so far refused to succumb to the advances of Liberals urging her to run.And in the Commons Tuesday, Indian Affairs Minister John Munro withdrew an obscenity he made last week to a Conservative MP during debate on a campaign contribution to the minister by an Indian band council.The Tory MP had called the $10,000 donation “sleazy” although Manitoba Ojibway-Cree band leaders said the money had come from band investments, not government funds, and defended their right to make political contributions.Once over lightly ¦*v i; >*¦ •:# 2Z*Ï*4* • A liftai • ¦ « •- fSy- » S-mfc'*-’**: .~ w- • ¦**»**- 'âfm Lj&k An apple a day keeps winteraway—for

the Liberal leadership aspirant for a 1976 crisis over dairy quotas Speaking to reporters, Ouellet said he has advised Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan — another leadership candidate — not to swing his support behind Chretien at the leadership convention in June.“Mr.Chretien was at the origin of Mr.Whelan’s problems in 1976,” Ouellet said, without spelling out how.At the time, the current energy minis ter was president of the treasury board.Quebec dairy farmers were enraged that year by a federal government plan to cut their production quotas.At one point, Whelan was pelted with milk jugs when he tried speaking to demonstrating farmers on Parliament Hill.Reminded how Whelan described Chretien as “anold friend” only a few weeks before announcing his own lea- dership ambitions, Ouellet conceded : “Maybe Mr.Whelan has pardoned him.” Until now, Quebec cabinet ministers who support Turner have avoided attacking Chretien by name, but Ouellet’s remarks may spell a change in tone in coming weeks.Rumors are persistant that Whelan and Employment Minister John Roberts would throw their support behind Chretien if they fail to make a strong showing in the first convention results.Standoff follows London killing LONDON (CP) — The Libyan Em bassy expressed regret today at the killing of a British policewoman by a gunman in the embassy, but police continued their siege of the building.Meanwhile, Libya’s retaliation with a siege of the British Embassy in Tropili, the Libyan capital, also continued.In London, Foreign Office undersecretary Richard Luce said he doesn’t think the British Embassy staff and other Britons in Libya are “in any danger at the present time.” There are an estimated 8,000 Britons in Libya.Eleven Libyans demonstrating outside the embassy were injured during the shooting incident.The demonstrators were protesting against Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy.Luce said the Libyan Embassy, surrounded by police sharpshooters since the shooting, “expressed to us, through our contacts, regret at the fact that a British policewoman was killed.” Tripoli, suggesting on Tuesday that British officers were preparing to storm the five-storey Libyan Embassy building, said “an act of this magnitude will not go unanswered by the Libyan people.” BARBARIC OUTRAGE' British Home Secretary Leon Brit-tan told reporters Tuesday night, “It’s not a question of people going in — it’s a question of people coming out.” He termed the shooting a “barbaric outrage.” Luce said in a BBC radio interview today: “We remain in the position that we ask them to come out peacefully and thus enable us to go in and search for weapons and explosives.We are doing our utmost to resolve this problem sensibly and peacefully.” British police near the embassy de tained a man today wearing an Arab headdress after a search discovered he was carrying a machete.Scotland Yard spokesman John Miller said sporadic talks were being conducted today by telephone with the Libyans inside the embassy.He said sandwiches, lemonade and cigarettes were sent into the embassy early this morning Police said they arrested seven people for questioning, including six at Heathrow airport outside London and one as he left the embassy.Four of those arrested remained in custody late Tuesday.Police did not identify those arrested.ATTACKED EMBASSY?Tripoli Radio, monitored in London, claimed the shooting started when police and Libyan dissidents attacked the embassy Tuesday.The broadcast said the Libyan government would “keep Britain busy” by aiding Irish Republican Army to end British rule in Northern Ireland if the Libyan Embassy was stormed Foreign Office sources said “a group of revolutionaries” had surrounded the British Embassy in Tri- poli and refused to allow any of the 18 Britons inside, including Ambassador Oliver Miles, to leave.The retaliatory standoff developed after the gunman fired a machine-gun at a protest rally The policewoman.Yvonne Fletcher, 25, was fatally-wounded in the firing.Sharpshooters of Scotland Yard's D-ll special weapons squad, with a 25-man team of Special Air Service reported standing by, surrounded the embassy in St.James’s Square in London's fashionable Mayfair district.Under international convention, the embassy is treated as Libyan territory and can be entered only by invita tion.A Scotland Yard spokesman declined to say how many Libyans were in the embassy, which normally has a staff of 24 Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in Lisbon for meetings with Portuguese leaders, said she was “gravely concerned” over the shooting Some Conservative British MPs urged that the Libyan Embassy be closed.Ambassador taken from Embassy ROME (AP) — Britain's ambassador to Libya was escorted from the British Embassy in Tripoli today to the Libyan Foreign Ministry, the ambassador’s wife said, Diplomats in the Libyan capital said the embassy was otherwise sealed off Julia Miles, wife of British Am bassador Oliver Miles, said in a telephone interview from the official British residence that her husband was taken from the embassy this morning by as many as 60 uniformed policemen “He dropped by to see us briefly before going to the Foreign Ministry, which is right next to us,” she said.Willem Meulenberg, the Dutch charge d’affaires in Tripoli, said in a telephone interview that he could see no Libyan demonstrators outside the British Embassy.An Italian diplomat, also reached in the Libyan capital by tele phone, said there were about 20 Libyan policemen surrounding the embassy, but he stressed there had been no military guards on the scene since the siege began late Tuesday.The British Embassy was eneir cled after a gunman at the Libyan Embassy in London opened fire on AMBASSADOR’S page 2 Wonder drug or bitter pill?Canada Health Act becomes law OTTAWA (CP) — The Canada Health Act became law Tuesday, setting forth a new federal prescription for the ills of medicare and leaving the provinces with bitter medicine to swallow.Federal Health Minister Monique Begin is the first to admit the act is no wonder drug, but she says it’s needed to purge extra billing by doctors and hospital user fees from public health insurance once and for all.The provinces regard it more as the legislative equivalent of cod liver oil — a distasteful folk remedy that Begin would force down their throats and unlikely to produce any lasting benefits.The act, years in the making and the highlight of Begin’s political career, received royal assent late Tuesday afternoon.The Senate gave the bill final approval a few minutes earlier after it defeated last-minute attempts by ^Conservative senators for a delay to allow more federal-provincial talks.The legislation is actually retroactive to April 1, but its most controversial sections won’t come into force until summer.As of July 1, provinces that continue to sanction extra charges stand to have their federal medicare grants reduced.The act says they’ll lose one dollar for every dollar patients are forced to pay out of their own pockets.Any money withheld by Ottawa will be paid later only if extra charges are banned within three years.No one knows for sure how much extra patients now are paying for medicare, but estimates have ranged as high as $200 million a year.British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta account for all but a small portion of whatever the total amount is and thus have the most to lose under the legislation.B.C.Health Minister Jim Nielsen says the province will do what it can to circumvent the act, but Finance Mi ~ — nister Hugh Curtis has already announced contingency plans to replace user fees with an income tax surtax based on family size.HAVE USER FEES The province has no extra billing by doctors, but hospitals collect an extra $50 million or $60 million from patients each year.Ontario has yet to decide how to deal with the new act.Health Minister Keith Norton says he’s confident of avoiding any penalties for user fees, but the province could lose about $50 million a year because of extra billing.Some critics have suggested it might be cheaper for the province to absorb a $50-million penalty than to risk a confrontation with doctors or to agree to a major hike in their fee schedule to make extra billing unnecessary.Alberta Uremicr Peter Loughecd has said he’s prepared to accept any penalties levied by Ottawa as the price of running medicare his own way.Albertans pay about $10 million a year in hospital fees and another $14 million or so extra to their doctors.Health Minister Dave Russell says user fees are here to stay, but he has talked about making extra billing harder for doctors.All three provinces also risk a confrontation with Ottawa because they levy monthly medicare premiums to defray part of their share of health care costs.The new health act requires that all residents be covered by their provincial medicare plans — even if they haven’t paid their monthly premiums.The act replaces federal legislation passed in 1966 that required coverage for 95 per cent of all residents.Precise figures are not available, but it appears all three provinces are a bit short of universal coverage.The new act allows cabinet to levy discretionary penalties against pro vinces that don't meet broad federal requirements for medicare such as 100 |)cr cent coverage or equal access to insured services.It remains to be seen how strongly Ottawa feels about these requirements and how big a penalty it deems necessary to bring wayward provinces into line.NO PENALTIES YET The wording of the act and an outline of proposed cabinet orders needed to make it work suggest it could bo months — perhaps a year — before any province is threatened with either dollar-for-dollar or discretionary penalties.While B.C., Ontario and Alberta ponder the possibilities that lie ahead, the seven other provinces and two territories also have to decide whether their own medicare plans should be modified to bring them fully in line with the new legislation , The impact of the act on Quebec probably won't be known until the fi nal wording of the cabinet orders on user fees is decided.However, Begin told a Senate committee Tuesday that Quebec had $11 million or more in “illegal” hospital fees Newfoundland is ready to do away with its modest hospital fees, and Nova Scotia will probably ban extra billing if it can’t strike a deal with its doctors.The other provinces and the territories have little or no extra billing or user fees and should have little trouble coping.The Canada Health Act was introduced in the Commons in December and brought a long running debate on the future of medicare to its highest peak in years.Debate on the act both inside and outside Parliament was sometimes acrimonious, but nearly everyone agreed that major improvements are needed in the way the health care sys tern now operates j 2—The KECOKD—Wednesday, April 18, 19X1 Malaysian marital service provides ‘homey’ wife HAMILTON (CP) — For the man holding out for an old fashioned wife who will do as she is told, the proprietor of a mail order bride business half a world away has the answer “Our women aren’t very parti cular,” says the man known only as Ranganathan, head of Worl dwide Friendship and Marriage Agencies of Malaysia "As long as they can have a man with a reasonable living, they don’t demand much ' Ranganathan wrote a letter to the Hamilton Spectator asking about advertising in the “esteemed" newspaper The ad he had wanted to run — and which The Spectator did not accept — reads: "Men and women wishing towards matrimony with nice Asian partners: write with details and photographs,” and lists a post office in Ipoh, about 200 kilometres north of Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital.In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Ranganathan said that despite the wording of his ad, the customers he is after are men.NOT OUTGOING “Asian women are quite faithful," he said about the 18- to 40 year-old women he lists who come from places such as Kuala Lampur and Singapore.“A man will get a partner who is quite homey An Asian wife does all the housework.” Ranganathan offered few details about matchmaking costs saying every case is different.“But the girls do expect you to pay for their airfare,” which is usually a minimum of $2,100 for the mandatory return ticket.“You can’t expect them to come around the world for nothing.” Sgt.John Corkum, acting group leader of the RCMP’s immigration and passport section, said the company is “nothing more than a lonely hearts club” but one “we’d be interested in ”.He warned anyone thinking of using the service to make sure the woman is not already married and just “using youto get into the country.” Lydia Goshgarian of the Hamilton and District Multicultural Council said the Malaysian connection could be bad news for both partners.“The bride might accept anything the first year because she’s left persecution behind,” but that situation might change and “both hearts get broken as the husband learns his perfect bride has a brain.” ‘ Wi SETTLE ESTATES * TAX PLAN YOUR INCOME * FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION *

three Britons were detained."There is no immediate suggestion of any attempt to storm our embassy, but it’s a minute-to minute situa tion," said a Foreign Office spokesman who declined to be identified.The spokesman said three British men — all non-diplomats — had been arrested in Tripoli, apparently in reprisal for the siege of Libya's embassy in London."Our embassy is doing what it can to investigate the circumstances,” the spokesman said Mrs.Miles said her four children are with her in the ambassador’s residence.She said they have not tried to leave, adding: “I don’t think they would let me out ” She said she had “an enormous row” with Libyan guards Tuesday night when four British residents of Tripoli tried to leave the ambassador’s residence after a 2,/2-hour visit.“We had a fight again this morning when two British women came to see us.They (the guards) did let them in and out but after giving us so much trouble.” TV INTERVIEW In a television interview broadcast in London, Mrs.Miles said she was not anxious for the diplomats’ safety “yet." “The diplomatic staff are all locked in,” she said in the BBC-TV interview.Of the Libyan policemen reported outside the official residence she said: “Whether they are there for protection or retaliation for what has happe ned in London 1 would not like to say.” Both Meulenberg and the Italian di plomat, who asked not to be identified by name, said the situation in Tripoli is “quiet.” But the Italian added: "Developments depend on what will happen in the next hours in London.” A man who answered the telephone at the British Embassy in Tripoli declined comment, referring all questions to the Foreign Office in London.Gas leak drives tourists from Pharaoh’s tomb GIZA (Reuter) — Police investigated Tuesday a mystery gas that hit tourists in the Egyptian burial chamber of a pharaoh who, legend says, will punish those who disturb his last resting place.The 5,000-year-old King Khafra Pyramid outside Cairo was cordoned off by police Monday after two western tourists emerged from the burial chamber short of breath and with stinging eyes, said an inspector of antiquities at the scene.The tourists, who were not identi- fied, had been alone inside the chamber.They felt faint for a short time after emerging, but did not need medical treatment, the inspector said.Minister of Culture Mohammed Abdel Hamid Radwan, officials, chemical experts and investigators tried to solve the mystery of the gas Tuesday as police steered tourists away.A definitive judgment would depend on chemical analysis of air samples taken inside the pyramid, Radwan said Hurrah! Problem solved, but there’s no money left OTTAWA (CP) —After 10 months of bickering between Quebec and Ottawa over federal job creation grants to Quebec municipalities, the municipa lities have been told there is no money left for them Employment and Immigration Mi nister John Roberts sent a letter to his Quebec counterpart advising the province of the situation, Roberts’s depu ty minister, Gaétan Lussier, said Tuesday While the two senior governments Weather Cloudy with sunny periods today and a high of 11 to 13.Low tonight of 5.Outlook for Thursday — variable cloudiness.(ought over how the money should be given to municipalities, the $139 million was gradually spent on other Quebec projects, said Len Westeberg, Roberts’s press secretary.“The money was still allotted to Quebec, but in private-sector projects,” he said The letter to Quebec Municipal Affairs Minister Alain Marcoux April 12 encouraged the municipalities to apply for funds again next fall.When the dispute began in the spring of 1983, Lloyd Axworthy, then federal employment minister, also diverted the money originally intended for the municipalities to other Quebec job projects.In opposing the federal program, the Quebec government defended its exclusive constitutional jurisdiction over municipalities.An agreement was finally reached last month stipulating that Quebec cities and towns which want the federal grants have to apply through the provincial government.—____fogl H6C0TU George MacLaren, Publisher 569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor 569-6345 Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager 569-9525 Mark Guillette,

Polish consulate here, fuelling speculation he may lend his support to their cause.Georges Rawicz, spokesman for the Canadian Polish Congress, says the Pope has sent a telegram asking for the addresses in Poland “as soon as possible” of the families of Kazimiera Cebula, who has been fasting for 22 days, and Ewa Szypu-ra, for 16 days.Damaged wine costing millions MONTREAL (CP) — The Quebec Liquor Corp., loses as much as $10 million a year on wine that is damaged due to improper handling or poor conditions during transport, says a quality control director for the board.Speaking at an international symposium on the transportation of wine Tuesday, Jocelyn Tremblay said the liquor board loses about 3.6 million bottles of wine a year because of conditions that are either too hot or too cold during transport.On top of that figure, Tremblay adds another $1 million for bottles of bad wine that are returned by customers.Montreal approves project MONTREAL (CP) — City council approved a development agreement Tuesday for a downtown project that will include a $100-million shopping centre and a $30-million concert hall for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.The 200-store project will occupy one city block.A glass-covered gallery is to span McGill College Ave.in the downtown shopping district.Under the agreement, the developer, Cadillac Fairview Corp.Ltd., will build a 23-storey office tower at an estimated $30-million.Construction may begin as early as August.N.S.tries weeding experiment HALIFAX (CP) — The Nova Scotia government.in an experiment some critics say is crazy, will hire people this summer to do weeding usually done by forest herbicides.Development Minister Roland Thornhill announced the project Tuesday, saying he hopes it will help settle the question of which method — herbicidal or manual clearance — is more beneficial in getting rid of the weeds in tree plantations.NDP Leader Alexa McDonough, who has complained that forestry companies favor the use of herbicides at the expense of jobs, called Thornhill’s project “a false victory if there ever was one.” But the one-shot experiment at least acknowledges the issue, she said, and is a step in dealing with the industry’s reliance on chemicals.Woman receives heart and lungs LONDON, Ont.(CP) — A 47-year-old woman was given a new heart and lungs Tuesday during a six-hour transplant operation at University Hospital.Hospital spokesman Karen Humphreys said after the operation the woman was listed in critical but stable condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit.She said the identity of the Ontario woman is being withheld at the request of her family.Humphreys said the woman, who was suffering from primary pulmonary hypertension, was waiting at the hospital for seven weeks for a donor.Campagnol» has ‘nice’ support OTTAWA (CP)— Early results from a national poll to test the popularity of Liberal president Iona Campagnolo as a potential leadership candidate show “nice” support for her but won’t be released for at least a few days yet, Alberta Liberal Leader Nick Taylor said Tuesday.Taylor added in a telephone interview from Calgary that once all the results are in, the draft-Campagnolo group may decide not to release any figures at all, which he conceded would indicate that support for her isn’t as strong as he thought it was.“Who knows?Maybe we ll sell it to one of the other candidates.” All cats out of bag says gov’t OTTAWA (CP) — Solicitor General Robert Kaplan assured the Commons justice committee Tuesday that the federal government has acknowledged the existence of all its security agencies.”1 can tell you there are no other agencies of government in the security field that are unavowed.” Kaplan said.He was responding to New Democrat Svend Robinson who noted that the government refused until last year to confirm the existence of the ultrasecret Communications Security Establishment.Sauve set to be sworn in OTTAW A (CP)—Jeanne Sauve, former Liberal cabinet minister and Commons speaker, will be sworn in as Governor General May 14, Prime Minister Trudeau's office announced Tuesday.Sauve, 61, has recovered from a respiratory illness which kept her in the hospital for six weeks this winter, her press secretary said.Marie Bender said although Sauve’s voice is still weak, she is generally getting stronger and will be well enough to replace Gov.Gen.Ed Schreyer, who has been named Canada’s high commissioner lo Australia.OTTAWA (CP) — Indian Affairs Minister John Munro, who was cited for using “unparliamentary language” in the Commons last week, withdrew the remark Tuesday.Munro, one of six Liberal cabinet ministers vying with John Turner for Prime Minister Trudeau’s job, called Tory MP John McDermid “an asshole” during debate on a campaign contribution made to Munro by an Indian band council.Munro told the Commons Tuesday he would withdraw the remark, but added that “it was one of the few remarks that I made in the House that received so little controversy since it was made.” “However, I withdraw it.” McDermid wasn’t present.Protest reaches new heights MISSISSAUGA, Ont.(CP) — Three people from the Greenpeace environmental group climbed to the top of a giant smokestack at an Ontario Hydro plant on Tuesday to publicize their fight against acid rain.One climber, Carrie Kruse, 28, of Chicago, came down the 125-metre chimney at Lakeview Generating Station, just west of Toronto, later in the day and police charged her with trespassing.But Greenpeace spokesman Kim Anderson said the other two climbers — John Willis, 21, of Kitchener, Ont., and Ken Hollis, 24, of Toronto — would remain perched near the top until the group announces its intentions late this morning at today’s annual meeting in Toronto of Inco Ltd., the mining company whose smelter emissions are a major cause of acid rain.Manitoba signs hydro deal WINNIPEG (CP) — Manitoba has signed a memorandum of understanding to sell $3.2 billion worth of hydroelectricity to Northern States Power Co.of Minnesota, Energy Minister Wilson Parasiuk said Tuesday.Parasiuk told the legislature he expects a final agreement in June before an application to export the power goes to the National Energy Board.At that time he would have further details of the 500-megawatt, firm-power deal that will span 1993 to 2005.Strike-breakers do the job CALGARY (CP) — The Canadian Air Line Flight Attendants Association and Wardair Canada Inc.have reached an agreement under which new personnel will be paid up to 36.5 per cent less than current employees doing the same work.Union president Larry LeBlanc said Tuesday his members accepted the company’s terms, which they had rejected in March, under threat of losing all their jobs to strike-breakers.Wardair had hired about 400 potential strikebreakers in February.Wardair flew them to a Florida training centre for a course in air safety and told them to stand by to go to work the moment the union called a strike.Shearing gets maximum sentence KAMLOOPS, B.C.(CP) — David William Shearing received the maximum sentence Tuesday for what the judge called the “senseless, brutal, cold-blooded slaughter” of two young girls, their parents and their grandparents in a wilderness campground.The 25-year-old laborer, who pleaded guilty in British Columbia Supreme Court Monday to six counts of second-degree murder, was sentenced by Mr.JusticeHarry McKay to life imprisonment with no opportunity for parole for 25 years.TV leads to pool table rape PROVIDENCE, R.I.(AP) — A boy was arraigned Tuesday on charges that he sexually assaulted a girl on a pool table while other children watched, and officials said he may have got the idea from watching a Massachusetts rape trial on television.“The (12-year-old) kid unfortunately watched too much stuff on TV,” said Jack McMahon, head of the attorney general's juvenile prosecution unit.The girl who was allegedly assaulted is 10 years old.More dirty CIA underwear WASHINGTON (AP) — Three months before mining Nicaragua’s harbors, the CIA directed a sabotage raid against the key Nicaraguan port of Corinto, destroying 12 million litres of fuel and forcing residents to leave the town, intelligence sources say.The sources, who spoke on condition they not be identified, said that like the mining, the Oct.10 Corinto raid was carried out by CIA-hired Latin mercenaries who reached the port by speedboat from an offshore mother ship where American CIA agents directed the operation.Prince paints picture press LOS ANGELES (CP) — Prince Andrew pointed a paint sprayer at a group of press photographers Tuesday, damaging some of their equipment.Andrew, 24, was visiting a housing rehabilitation project in the Watts district of Los Angeles at the time.One of the photographers, Bob Grevemburg, said the prince tested the spray equipment on the ground before levelling it briefly at the cameras.“It was a dumb joke,” said Grevemburg, a former policeman who estimated it might cost up to $500 to have an element in the lens of his video camera replaced.Circus hit by freak accident SPRINGHILL, La.(AP) — An animal trainer and a two-tonne Burmese elephant were electrocuted Tuesday when the circus tent pole they were raising for the night’s two performances touched overhead electrical lines, authorities said.Tim Mericash, 23, of Norwalk, Ohio, and the elephant — a 40-year-old named Ellie — died Tuesday morning while raising the big top at the Roller Brothers Circus, a small, one-ring troupe, said circus supervisor Jim Silverlake.Another circus employee, Mickey King, 21, of Halls, Tenn., was in hospital with second-degree burns on his legs and back.Party sweeps island election ST.JOHNS, Antigua (AP) — For the second time in the six months since the Grenada crisis, a Caribbean government that contributed troops to the U.S.-led invasion has swept parliamentary elections.The Antigua Labor party of Prime Minister Vere Bird, 74, won all 16 constituencies in elections Tuesday.An independent won re-election on the tiny sister island of Barbuda, where the race was not contested by the Labor party.Bird’s two sons were among the winners for the Labor party, which held 13 of 17 seats in the last Parliament.Vatican condemns momsicles VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican newspaper has condemned the process used to conceive a child from a frozen embryo.The first birth resulting from that method was announced last week in Australia.“One understands the desire by sterile couples to have children, but one must realize that not everything one desires can be right,” L’Osserva-tore Romano said Tuesday in an editorial by theologian Gino Concetti.He said the new technique is unacceptable because it requires the act of masturbation to obtain sperm and destroys other embryos that are capable of producing a human being.Jet leaves trail of metal LONDON (AP) —- An engine cover tore loose from a Miami-bound Pan Am jumbo jetliner shortly after takeoff Tuesday, sending residents of a small English town scrambling for shelter as pieces of metal fell from the sky.There were no injuries.Peter Joel, spokesman for Pan American World Airways in London, said there was no danger to the 285 people on board the Boeing 747.The plane was climbing near Reading, 60 kilometres west of London, on a flight from Heathrow Airport to Washington and Miami when part of an engine cowling came loose, Joel said.The jetliner returned to Heathrow, and the passengers were put on a later flight.U.S Ashing boat captured BRASILIA (AP) — The Brazilian navy says a patrol boat captured a U.S.fishing vessel off the northern coastal territory of Amapa and fired on another with

Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping reached agreement on “important matters” affecting the future of Hong Kong, the official Xinhua news agency reported today.No details were immediately available as Howe ended three days of talks in Peking and left for Hong Kong today to brief officials and community leaders on developments Chinese satellite working PEKING (Reuter) — China said today an experimental communications satellite it launched April 8 has been successfully positioned in geostationary orbit and is working well.The official Xinhua news agency said this is a major achievement in China’s modernization drive and another victory for its policy of self-reliance and independence.All instruments on the satellite are working normally, as are experiments with communications, radio and television transmission, the agency said.Have it the state’s way PEKING (AP) — China unveiled today its first western-style fast-food restaurant, a state-owned eatery where hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries compete for customers raised on noodles, cabbage and Peking duck.Communist party dignitaries and guests from local restaurants rushed to a big table in the centre of the restaurant to feast on specialties piled on plastic plates by harried-looking workers.The restaurant’s name, Yili, means "righteousness and profit.” Donald Duck, the Walt Disney cartoon character, is the restaurant's symbol.t* The KK('OKI)—Wednesday, April 18, 1984—3 The Townships —___frci maun Expert witness says standard procedures would have saved Lapointe By Michael McDevitt SHERBROOKE — Dr.Roger Blanchard knew enough about the condition of Johanne Lapointe between 4 and 4:30 a.m.on the morning she died to consider her a “medical emergency” and to recommend a well-established treatment that could have saved her life, a prominant specialist told Sessions Court Judge Denis Lanctôt Tuesday.Lapointe, a 16 year-old Bishop's College School student from Laval, died as a result of a severe drug overdose 13 hours after being admitted to the Sherbrooke University Medical Centre on January 11, 1982.Despite still being conscious and lucid, and having told the admitting physician exactly the quantity and type of drug she had swallowed, Lapointe received virtually no active treatment at the hospital until nearly nine hours had passed, at which time she was comatose and in extremely critical condition.She died from heart failure resulting from the overdose shortly afterwards.STANDARD TREATMENT Dr.James Winchester, a lecturer in Dr.James Winchester.Simple treatment would have saved her.toxicology and overdose management at Washington’s Georgetown University and a consultant with the American National Chemical Poison Centre, said Blanchard, who faces charges of criminal negligence leading to Lapointe’s death, should have ordered “standard medical treatment as we’ve described it.” According to Winchester this consists of gastric lavage, the administering of activated charcoal, constant vital sign monitoring, regular blood and urine testing, the introduction of liquids into the blood system to help flush out chemicals (forced diuresis) and, if necessary, blood dialysis to “wash” any drugs from the patient’s blood.Blanchard was the doctor in charge of pediatrics at the Centre and was at his home 'on call' when Lapointe was admitted.Previous testimony said he received a telephone call from Dr.Gilles Lévesque at approximately 4 a m.(five hours after her arrival at the hospital and eight hours before her death) informing him of Lapointe’s condition and of Lévesque’s conviction that the girl was pretending to have taken the drugs to attract attention.Blanchard reportedly told Lévesque to continue his ‘observation’ of the patient.Lévesque, a first-year resident at the time, faces similar charges and is scheduled for trial in September.Winchester admitted that inducing vomiting, by means of an ‘emetic syrup’ (Ipecac) is a reasonable and so- metimes preferable substitute for gastric lavage (literally stomach washing), but added that the attending physician must make sure the emetic is effective.He said that gastric lavage is almost always preferable in the case of multiple-drug overdose victims because of the tendency of some drugs to inhibit the effectiveness of emetics.SIMPLE TEST Winchester said it is reasonable procedure to make sure the patient has actually taken the drugs indicated, but said that this can usually be established by means of a simple urine test.He said the inability of a physician to detect any trace of pills in a patient’s vomit might simply mean that the stomach had not been emptied properly.He said that, given the information provided by results of a routine blood test which was transmitted to Blanchard by Lévesque, “a prudent physician” would have realized that the level of salicylates (aspirin) indicated a toxic dosage and taken proper action.Winchester, who has written and edited several articles and books on the subject of drug intoxication, said the standard procedure he described was well known in 1982 and consti tutes a basic, conservative method of dealing with overdose patients.He said the mortality rate from overdose of such drugs as salicylates and antihistamines, which constituted the majority of the drugs Lapointe ingested, is less than one per cent when treated properly, and said that as far as he could determine from the records of the Lapointe case, the girl could have been saved at almost any point up to the time she died — had proper procedures been undertaken.SIMPLE CALCULATION Winchester also said that a simple calculation of the amount of drugs ta ken, based on information provided by Lapointe and the school nurse, would have enabled a physician to deduce whether potentially lethal doses of any one drug were involved.He said such calculations, had they been done, would have told doctors the girl had swallowed large quantities of both salicylates and anti histamines but that only the amount of salicylates constitued a potentially fatal dose.He said such calculations do not take into account the possible complications arising from a multiple drug over dose, saying different drugs some times interact to mask' individual symptoms or to actually enhance them.Under cross-examination by de fence counsel Michel Proulx, Win Chester admitted that as a doctor he would have believed information pro vided by another doctor if told the pa tient had vomited continuously “for over 35 minutes”, but said it is vital for a doctor to know the amount of matter brought up in order to make sure vomiting had been effective in emptying the stomach When asked by Judge Lanctôt whether he would have "inquired in such detail after being awakened at 4 o'clock in the morning”, Winchester replied that he would Winchester’s appearance provided the most technical and complicated information in the five days of testi mony heard so far, and he admitted that there exists a great deal of controversy among experts in many of the areas he discussed.He insisted, however, that the treatment he described is standard procedure and is invariably successful in treating similar cases.The trial will continue on Wednes day, April 25.Sherbrooke Progressive Conservative Métras expects cabinet post if elected By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE — Claude Métras says his wide experience in community affairs makes him the best person to represent the Progressive Conservative party in the next election.Métras says that if he wins the Sherbrooke riding Tory nomination and the next general election he expects to become a minister in the cabinet of Brian Mulroney.He also says Mulro-ney is waiting for the outcome of the Sherbrooke nomination campaign before announcing whether he will run in Brome-Missisquoi, as is expected in many party circles.Métras, 49, faces off against Jean Charest, 25, the only other announced candidate for the Tory nod, at a riding convention set for May 15.Sherbrooke is presently represented in the House of Commons by Liberal Irenée Pelletier.At a press conference Tuesday the well-known professional evaluator cited his many accomplishments in professional and community organizations as reasons why he is the best man for the job.Métras says he is not intimidated by the entry into PC politics of a large By Peter Scowen SHERBROOKE — A retired couple here says the “mortar shells” dug up near Waterloo last week are not bombs but parachute flares made during the Second World War.William and Marjorie Wesbroom, who lived in Waterloo during the war years, say the flares were built at International Flare and Signal Company (IFS), which set up operations in 1939-40 and closed down six years later.Marjorie Webroom, 65, a parachute inspector at the company which was located on the road between Waterloo and Warden (route 220), said she was surprised to see the flares referred to on television and in newspapers as bombs or mortar shells.“Those weren’t bombs,” she said.“They were canisters packed with powder and a parachute.” The canisters were designed, she said, to be launched into the air where the parachute would release and slowly float a burning flare back to earth, lighting up the area below.The Wesbrooms, and two other war-time Waterloo residents, say there was no other munitions manufacturer in the town at that time.Oly Young, an auctioneer, can remember the flares being tested near where he worked during the war, and as far as he knows International Flare and Signal was the only company manufacturing anything with gunpowder in it.Ronald Paquette, whose wife worked in the flare company, said the only military manufacturer in Waterloo was IFS.“Those things couldn’t be bombs,” he said.“They were signals.But they could have exploded.There were explosions at the company all the time.” Paquette also said IFS was owned by a Waterloo firm called Macdonald Inc.AREA CLOSED OFF When the devices were discovered last week at a construction site outside Waterloo, Armed Forces munitions experts moved in to close off the area and remove them.The site was in a field across a stream from an abandoned factory, which the Wesbrooms say sounds just like the old IFS company.“It was made up of 35 to 50 buildings and surrounded by a high Claude Métras.More than a simple candidate.number of younger people, as typified by lawyer Charest.“I consider myself to be some of that new blood,” he says.Unlike his opponent, however, Métras says, “I also have the experience to go with it.” wood fence,” Marjorie Wesbroom said.“You had to show a pass to get in.” She earned about $32 a week to make sure there were no faults in the parachutes before they were packed in the canisters.All that remains of the factory today is the fence and an abandoned concrete foundation, which the Wesbrooms said was probably the company hospital.“They had a very good hospital,” William Wesbroom, 72, said.The other buildings were white, pre fab tin shacks — “four walls and a roof,” Wesbroom called it.Every stage of the manufacture of the flares took place in the shacks, from the packing of the powder to the painting of the canisters, which were probably cast in Montreal, he said."You used to see the girls coming out of the painting rooms covered with aluminium from head to toe,” Marjorie Wesbroom said.“Some of them must have got some kind of disease from that.” The shacks were sold off after the war, the couple said, mostly for use as cottages.They admit the flares look like artillery shells when they are all put together.“There was a nose cone on it that might have made it look like a port as the other candidate — or more,” and adds that his supporters are busy selling $3 membership cards as fast as they can.“We hope to bring the total membership in the riding up to at least 600” by the time sales are cut off May 1, he says.SPECIAL ATTACHMENT Métras says that as a Sherbrooke native he has learned that the people of the region “have a special attachment to representatives who come from here.” He says he seeks a mandate to represent “all the people” in — and presumably after—the next election.“My relations with the people will be a lot better than they have with the current MP,” he says.“I will be present in all sectors, with all classes of people, and active in all types of issues.” Métras used the example of the long-awaited move to Sherbrooke of the federal government mapping branch as an example of the shortcomings of incumbent Pelletier.“He’s been on that case for seven years and it’s still not finalized.The people have done more by themselves without him, than with him.” bomb,” William Wesbroom said.A GOOD IDEA The retired duo can attest to the fact it was a good idea on the army’s part to close off the area where the flares were discovered.They can remember at least two explosions killing employees there.On one occasion a boy died when something exploded in one of the painting rooms.Another explosion was much more devastating, and the Wesbrooms can remember the Waterloo town hall filled with bodies.“I wasn’t working there at the time,” Marjorie Wesbroom said.“I had twin sons to raise.But we heard the explosion and went down to see what happened.They wouldn’t let anyone near the factory.There was a woman crying, saying her brother had been killed.” Ronald Paquette remembers there being so many explosions at IFS that he can’t single one out.“They happened all the time,” he said.There have been no injuries since the flares were found last week, but Waterloo Police Chief Rodolphe La rose said the area would be closed off until all the canisters were removed.That, he said, could take at least three more weeks.Métras points to his full curriculum vitae as a reason to elect him.He has been secretary, vice-president and president of the provincial association of professional evaluators.He was among the founders of Relais St-François, a treatment centre for young offenders; he has been twice president of the Féerie des Neiges, the Sherbrooke winter carnival; he has been a member of the board of more than a dozen Sherbrooke-area community groups, including the regional welfare council, Richelieu Club, the Heart Fund and the Collège Sacre-Coeur.“I’ve been to the right school for what it takes,” he says.“My relations with the people have always been good.” “My pan-Canadian experience is a big advantage; it has brought me ma turity and experience,” he adds MULRONEY KNOWS Métras says he has been told by Tory provincial campaign president Bernard Roy that “Mr.Mulroney knows that Sherbrooke is an impor tant county, one of the most important in Québec for the party — wherever Mr.Mulroney runs.The Sherbrooke Rusty gun confirmed as killer weapon SHERBROOKE — The gun which killed Brink's guard Yvan Charland in Pascal’s hardware store December 22 was one of the guns found by youngsters playing beside Dunant Road in Ascot Township last Friday, police say.The sawed-off 12-gauge Winchester pump-action shotgun was one of two found in a plastic garbage bag along with 20 rounds of 12-gauge ammunition, a suede bag, a raincoat and four .303 bullets in a roadside ditch.The two guns were sent to Montreal for ballistics tests after it was found that the second, a Remington pump gun, was the one taken from Charland’s partner Gilles Soquet during the fatal hold-up, which netted $47,000.Police assume the bag was thrown in a snowbank by the bandits as they made their getaway from the Carre-fourdel’Estrieduring a heavy snowstorm.By then, say police, they had probably switched cars, leaving a stolen vehicle in the parking lot at the Woolco shopping centre in Rock Forest.That car was a key factor in sending Sherbrooke police on a raid the next morning at the Chatillon Motel across the street, where an innocent man died from police gunfire.Sherbrooke detective Michel Sal-vail, since charged in the Rock Forest mishap, is now in Houston along with three Quebec Police Force detectives.They are interrogating three men arrested there following another Brink’s hold-up last week in which a guard was wounded, along with two of the suspects, but no money was taken The trio were arrested foillowing a tip from the QPF in Montreal, where their friends’ telephones had been tapped.The three have refused to answer questions from Texas police, saying they don’t understand English Four Texas eyewitnesses identified the trio in a police lineup Monday as being the Houston robbers.Three women were arrested along with the robbery suspects, along with two children, aged two and five, who were placed in foster homes.All eight are from Québec.The three men are all wanted here for escaping from pri son; at least one will be charged with a number of other armed robberies committed in the Eastern Townships and Beauce in the weeks before the Pascal robbery-murder.Métras

Flare and Signal Company.MP is an important regional leader.” “Mr.Roy says Mr.Mulroney is wai ting to see who the Sherbrooke candi date will be before he announces where he will run himself,” Métras says.This is apparently a new position for the Tory leader.Mulroney has been widely said to be considering neighboring Brome-Missisquoi as an electoral home.But until now the offi cial version from Mulroney’s office has always been that the leader “already represents a riding (Central Nova, in Nova Scotia) and there will be no change in this until a new elec- tion is called, at least." Métras says he will “surround" himself with "quality interveners” and he “hopes the the Progressive Conservatives see in me the candidate who will be more than a simple representative in the Conservative new wave.Sherbrooke is a little county with big links to the areas surrounding it and a target city to go after " “I have big hopes for a place in the Mulroney cabinet," Métras adds.“My discussions with party officials indi cate I would be a choice candidate for cabinet.I’ve had my experience.” Policy centre fine but opponent first — Bureau SHERBROOKE (CB) — Tory Eastern Townships president Guy Bu reau says he “has no objection” to Me-gantic-Compton-Stanstead candidate François Gérin setting up a regional research and policy centre, “but if I had to give him advice 1 would say the first priority for him should be his own opponent.” Last week Gérin, a Coaticook la wyer, announced the opening of a PC office intended to “co-ordinate re search on regional problems and bring Tory volunteers together to attempt to formulate solutions for them.” Notably absent from the ope ning ceremony was regional president Bureau, who is also president of the Sherbrooke riding where the new office is located.Tuesday Bureau said he missed the opening because he has “not even had time to think about Mr.Gérin’s initia live, let alone do anything about it ” He said he spent Monday at the par ty’s provincial headquarters in Mon treal “and will be there again all day Wednesday, getting ready for our ri ding nomination meeting,” set for May 15.Gérin said the new office had to be opened as soon as possible — without waiting for all the region's candidates to be selected —- but Bureau disa grees.“It would have been preferable for M r.Gérin to wait for the other can didates in the region to be chosen,” Bureau said.“Timing is important in these things; you have to be not too soon and not too late.” “But I am not against the idea in itself,” he added.“If you want to have a house, at a certain time you have to start to build it." §l\£ltE %d(FofEc^ta-wltlvLov€(l Ones SMOKED LEG HAM Nichol's whole or half kg.3.28 lb.1.49 FRESH GRADE A TURKEYS .i4 .t>, k9 2.98 .b l .35 GLAZED LEG

press time this morning, the Libyan Embassy in London, England is under siege.Sharpshooters from Scotland Yard’s elite special weapons squad and 25 members of the famous, and equally mysterious, Special Air Service surround the building waiting for the occupants to surrender.Inside, as many as 24 Libyan Embassy employees attempt to outwait the British, acting, presumably, on the orders of their leader — the mad man, Moammar Khadafy.This incredible situation developed as it did simply because an individual or individuals within the Embassy opened fire with an automatic weapon on a crowd of peaceful demonstrators who had gathered in front of the building to protest Khadafy’s regime.The crowd was noisy but orderly.The police were in complete control.Yet, this morning 25-year-old Police Constable Yvonne Fletcher is dead.The British authorities insist those inside the Embassy come out and allow police to search the building for weapons.They can do no more than insist, since, according to international law, the building is Libyan territory and may only be entered upon invitation.Likewise, diplomatic immunity will protect whoever fired the fatal bullets, freeing them from punishment for this unprovoked and unconscionable act.Meanwhile in Libya, Khadafy has retaliated by surrounding the British Embassy and threatening the saftey of the 8,000 Britons living and working throughout the country.Also — despite all evidence to the contrary, including films of the entire event — Khadafy has claimed that the gunfire was in retaliation for an attempted attack on the London Embassy by police and Libyan dissidents.This is not the first time that Libya has been involved in blatant murder.Khadafy’s ‘hitmen’ have been roving throughout Europe for several years assassinating Libyan exiles who oppose his regime.His agents have planted bombs, aided terrorists in the Middle East, invaded the neighboring country of Chad and threatened both Egypt and the Sudan.He has threatened to kill Ronald Reagan and wipe the nation of Israel from the face of the earth.His legacy to Libya is poverty, fanaticism and iron-fisted control.No one can seriously doubt that Britain would be morally if not legally justified in storming the Libyan Embassy.No country should be obliged to see its citizens murdered and the guilty party escape wrapped in the protective cloak of ‘diplomatic’ immunity.For the sake of the safety of British citizens in Libya, it is unlikely that the British government will do anything rash.When the crisis is over however, let us hope that nations throughout the world who believe in the rule of the law however fragile at times — will act in concert to once and for all ostracize the Libyan government which has proven itself to be little more than a collection of cutthroats and killers.TIMOTHY BELFORD ‘Walls of shame’ split Belfast’s population BELFAST (AP) — A red brick wall six metres high snakes through West Belfast, separating the Protestant Shankill and Roman Catholic Falls Road districts.More walls, topped by razor-sharp metal spikes, divide other “interface" zones on the front line in Northern Ireland’s sectarian warring.The British have built the walls during the last few years to replace the ramshackle “peace lines’’ of barbed wire-topped corrugated iron erected a decade ago to keep the rival communities from each others’ throats.British officials call the walls “environmental barriers.” But they are in reality sombre monuments to the nearly 2,400 men, women and children who have been killed since 1969 and to Britain’s failure to end the strife.The walls also symbolize Ulster’s deepening sectarian division and the refusal of Protestants and Roman Catholics to end centuries of sectarian hostility.The polarization of the two communities has extinguished hones that flickered in the late 1970s that reconciliation was possible The Belfast Telegraph, the province’s non-sectarian evening newspaper, calls them “the walls of shame.” Although Britain’s Northern Ireland Secretary, James Prior, said recently he perceives a lessening of sectarian hostility, not many in Ulster share that viewpoint.VIOLENCE CONTINUES The violence drags on, with a momentum all its own, against a backdrop in both parts of Ireland of chronic economic malaise, ever-mounting unemployment rolls and a growing disenchantment with political and church leaders, especially among the young.Thousands of the province’s 1.5 million people, weary of the bloodshed, have fled to Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.Among the 500,000 Catholics, there is continuing support for Sinn Fein, political front of the Irish Republican Army.IRA guerrillas are fighting to end British rule in Northern Ireland and unite the province with the Catholic Irish Republic to end 62 years of partition and set up an all-Ireland socialist state.Among the million-strong Protestants, there are growing suspicions that the British, weary of trying to pacify the unruly province, are increasingly prepared to talk about unification.In East Belfast, a Protestant stronghold, John McMichael, top strategist of the Ulster Defence Association, said Protestants “now believe in the Big Bang theory, that we must prepare forthe final conflict within the next few years.” EXPRESSES HOPE McMichael, 37, said : “We would hope to avoid that conflict, but the IRA and Sinn Fein are not interested in reconciliation.“Unionism and Republicanism are irreconcilable.We’re not talking about politics, but the existence of Northern Ireland, our home.“Many Protestants believe the Republicans are winning because the British do not have the will to defeat the IRA and because most British politicians, despite their claims Britain will not withdraw, are no longer interested in keeping Ulster in the United Kingdom.” Brian Feeney, a moderate Catholic Belfast councilman, said: “These walls say that we’re never going to have reconciliation, that we’re always going to be divided.” Apart from the walls, the authorities have built a major six-lane highway that creates a barrier between the rival strongholds of the Falls and the Shankill.The road, including a 12-metre-deep underpass that made a ravine between the Falls and the city centre, cuts off the troublesome Unity Flats complex from the Catholic stronghold.Eamon McConnell, a 25-year-old Catholic social worker who lives in the shadow of the wall in Bombay Street, an area burned in the riots of 1969, said the barrier has curbed Protestant attacks.“People do feel more secure,” he said.“But the kids still lob bricks over the wall.The people who live close to the wall want it even higher.” OUr shrinking dollar.'fier to uwrryits just ft -temporary shrinkage

Department to quit snowing him under with paper.Indian Affairs Minister John Mun-ro, Employment Minister John Roberts and Economic Development Minister Donald Johnston never travel anywhere on departmental business without incorporating an open line show, a couple of meet-the-delegates sessions and perhaps a leadership campaign speech or two.Justice Minister Mark MacGuigan jams his calls to potential delegates between such pressing concerns as the Supreme Court of Canada reference on Manitoba bilingualism.Running a department and running for the Liberal leadership is proving a perilous balancing act for the five ministers.And, sensing blood, opposition MPs have pounced on to the scales full force.A concerned Prime Minister Trudeau has set down guidelines for those seeking to replace him, warning ministers about their use of federal salaried staff on campaigns and reminding them that government jets must be used only on government business.“It was not the riot act at all," Chretien later told reporters.But pressure will only intensify between now and the convention in mid-June.The strain was palpable in the Commons on Tuesday as a bitter Munro shouted an obscenity at Tory Indian Affairs critic John McDermid who called him sleazy and “morally bankrupt" for accepting a campaign donation from a Manitoba Indian council.And a troubled Johnston, campaigning for a “new agenda" forCanada, is wrestling with the question of resigning his cabinet post because his views on such issues as selling off Pe-tro-Canada’s gas stations contradict existing government policy.It is a hard decision to make.In the 1968 campaign, trade minister Robert Winters was the only one of eight cabinet members in the race to tender his resignation to prime minister Lester Pearson.Those hanging on to their portfolios included Trudeau and John Turner, then consumer affairs minister.This time.Turner is the only cabinet outsider in the race.HARD TO LET GO A hard-won cabinet post is difficult to relinquish.It offers an arsenal of perks if properly milked.But the five in cabinet look enviously at John Turner: well financed, free flying, a candidate who can spend, as he did, a week campaigning in Western Canada without worrying about the Tories forcing a vote in the Commons, prepping for a cabinet meeting or blowing a response during question period.Turner’s people don’t see it that way.Turner entered this race from a “standing start,” says his media aide, Dennis Baxter.He was forced to assemble his own staff, without the pool of well connected political staff afforded cabinet ministers.He must develop his own policy ideas without benefit of the public service brain trust and without any insider knowledge of what has transpired in cabinet since he resigned as finance minister in 1975, says Baxter.Nor does Turner have a free airline pass, he adds.MacGuigan, Munro and the others have combined government trips across the country with tentative testing of their chances as candidates for more than a year.Johnston says he has pocketed his airline pass for the duration of the campaign except when on strictly government business.The other cabinet candidates concede they are using theirs to varying degrees despite the warning of a Revenue Canada official that their use for campaigning may be considered a taxable benefit.Campaigning and government business are so interwoven, aides say, it is difficult to judge when a trip should be billed to the department or the campaign.It’s a judgment call, says Eddie Goldenberg, chief aide to Energy Minister Jean Chretien.“He’s not going to say, ‘1 shook hands with the (provincial) minister of energy somewhere, therefore I can charge the whole thing off to the government of Canada.” Ministers can and do use government telephone lines, although campaign staff for all five make most of their calls from campaign offices on telephones paid for with campaign funds.“Obviously, if the minister wants to get in touch with someone from Ottawa, he will use a government line,” says Ron Dennis, a spokesman for Munro.Turner is also excluded from the uninterrupted flow of departmental news releases, announcing programs and grants.While department media machines don’t pump out campaign releases, a headline is a headline, says Mike Ro-nan, Robert's campaign director.“Anytime any potential candidate gets press .in so far as a specific departmental event, as long as you spell his name right, that’s good campaigning, isn’t it,” says Ronan.New Democrat Leader Ed Broad bent doesn’t see it that way.He accused Roberts of financing his campaign on the backs of the taxpayers because two widely distributed departmental magazines on women and young people in the labor market included a prominent color photo of the minister.Total cost of printing and distribution: $1.3 million.The ten-million copies made a tempting target.Laid end to end, they would stretch from St.John’s, Nfld., to Manitoba.Whether they are now lining the birdcages of the nation or were faithfully read by job-hungry Canadians, Broadbent says Roberts has damaged his campaign.Roberts says he’s just running his department.The booklets were part of a departmental strategy that began last fall, long before the leadership race, he says.He was supported in this view by fellow cabinet candidates and even the prime minister ventured briefly into the fray.“If the ministers who are running for the leadership are also operating their departments, they are doing what I asked them to do,” he said.Cabinet posts may be their entree into the race, but the candidates complain the long hours and criticism make it a mixed blessing at best.“It's better to be on the outside,” says Jim McDonald, campaign manager for MacGuigan.Meanwhile, Johnston has been a target of opposition attacks for his proposal to sell Petro-Canada’s gas stations.Johnston says, however, that in his own mind he hasn’t violated cabinet solidarity.The other four ministers have been less forthcoming about any disputes with current policy.It’s not a critical campaign, says Ronan, Robert’s campaign chief.“They’re speaking about the future more than the past.” MacGuigan, for example, feels he must keep his thoughts on the Manitoba bilingualism issue to himself, says McDonald.“We have to stand by the collective decisions of the government so our ability to range farther afield on contemporary issues is somewhat more restricted.” This delicate balance between minister and candidate dominates all aspects of the campaign.An overworked Chretien meets with his deputy minister, Paul Tel-lier, once a week but has requested a reduction in the paper burden, says Goldenberg.AWARE OF PRESSURES “He knows the pressures on the minister’s time and my time.We meet when we have to and (Tellier) makes sure that anything that comes to us is urgent.” Views differ on the use of exempt staff — those paid by federal funds to handle the ministers' politicial needs but who remain outside the public service.Goldenberg.for example, remains on Cretien's exempt staff and is paid with public funds although much of his time is spent on campaign work instead of his usual ministerial duties.Each of the candidates has opened campaign offices staffed by workers paid from campaign funds.Most, however, are also relying on “volunteer” work by political staff during evenings or on weekends.Johnston and Munro have taken pains to separate their exempt and campaign staffs.“We’re going to be scrupulously squeaky clean,” says Jack Price, Munro’s campaign manager.Both Roberts and MacGuigan say they see nothing wrong with drawing campaign workers from their exempt staff — although most are busy doing ministerial duties during regular working hours.Opposition members use their staff during election campaigns, Roberts notes.“They are political staff,” MacGuigan said.“That’s what they’re supposed to be doing.” McDonald says staff find it impossible to divorce the campaign from ministerial responsibilities.Take, for example, a request for help from MacGuigan’s home riding of Windsor-Walkerville.“They are phoning you up as an MP, as the minister from the region and they are also phoning you up as a candidate.” Chretien is almost cocky about his ability to juggle his department and his campaign.“Apparently 1 don’t drop the ball very often, ’’ he bragged to supporters in Toronto.“In football terms, I’ve got sure hands.” But the opposition watches from the sidelines knowing it’s a long way to mid-June. The RKCOKI)—Wednesday.April 18.1984—5 Education #1__mi record Stanstead College News By Penny Loome ‘Back-room’ style community school brings in students for an individual education Two weeks have come and gone since we returned from our spring vacation and as usual the school has been a hive of activity.People jogging round the track, working the weights and raising tennis nets, as well, of course, as the usual hustle and bustle of classes.Our first weekend back, 96 students went sugaring off and had a great time eating and dancing and eating and dancing and.Many thanks to Mrs.Duncan and the animation committee for organizing the outing.On Sunday the seven students who visited China with Mr.Chen returned.I was lucky enough to have gone.Firstly we visited Tokyo, Japan and apart from shopping and sightseeing we had a memorable meal sitting cross-legged on the floor where we ate sushi and drank saki.We went on to China and visited Canton, Beijing (Peking), Naking, Shanghai, Hangchow and Guilin.Every city was different, different landscape, food, feeling, etc.We saw many of the beautiful sites in China: the Great Wall and Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, Monument to the 72 Martyrs and many more.We went on boat trips and visited communes.Every person, if asked to, would probably give a different description of the country and people if they were able to verbalize what we saw.To me it was a land surrounded by * mystery and it held a certain romantic air.undoubtedly we would all say it was a beautiful country, but to each it was a new and very different feeling that is hard to explain.We then went to Hong Kong for several days before returning home.Hong Kong was a city that vibrated life at every corner, a haven for all — the shoppers, business men, sunworshippers and partiers alike.We returned to school very happy and probably (I speak only for myself now) slightly awed at the greatness and variety of things we saw.This week at school, the swim team went for the championships in Montreal and did well, the majority of our teams placing within the 1st — 2nd places and with the individuals doing very well and bringing home many medals.We had our senior Science Fair which went smoothly (we are still waiting for results) and now the juniors are getting nervous.We are all preparing for the final couple of months and the questions that are fixed in the minds of most all of us concern the grad (planning is under way).There’s a lot to look forward to and we hope this term will be a good one.To end, congratulations to Mr.Brown and Miss Dumont who recently became engaged.Shy student takes lessons, now teaching CALGARY (CP) — Leona Paterson has talked to thousands of people, from students to cabinet ministers, about the importance of speech arts in education.She has used her eloquence in theatrical productions, in radio and television commercials and in commentaries at fashion shows and drama festivals.But despite her ability with words — she was named speaker of the year by the Canadian Speech Communicators Association — she is hesitant in talking about herself.“I’m happy to talk about the arts and education,” she said.“But it’s another thing to talk about myself.” Paterson, who was bom Leona Flegal in Calgary during the First World War, said she was a shy girl.“I was something of an only child,” she said.“My brother was nine years my senior.To help overcome my shyness my parents sent me to elocution lessons afterschool (for)25 cents an hour.” She studied drama at the University of California at Los Angeles and eventually won a scholarship to study speech arts at the Royal Conservatory of Toronto.She was awarded a double diploma — in performance and teaching — and invited to stay on as a teacher, but decided to return to Calgary.“In Toronto I’d have been one of dozens of qualified teachers.(In Calgary) there were unlimited opportunities.” NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C.(CP) — In a small room behind the blackboard, students are shooting a game of pool.On a large, tattered couch at the far end of the classroom, two more students are curled up reading while a classmate feeds the remains of her breakfast to a gerbil.It’s a typical early morning in Michael Ewan’s home room at Queen Mary Community School “The pool table gets kids in to the school who may not otherwise turn up,” says Ewan.“The couch is a comfortable spot to read, and the gerbil is just a friend.I think he’s overfed.” Queen Mary, says Ewan, is Canada's only “individual education” school based on the teachings of psychologist Alfred Adler and put into practice by Dr.Raymon Corsini.The school’s system promotes the idea of free and democratic choices in education.HALF ARE NATIVES Queen Mary, which runs from pre-school to Grade 7, has 200 students, more than half of them native Indians.Fifteen other ethnic groups make up the rest of the student body.“We work on the principle that a child learns best when he wants the information,” says Ewan.“At the beginning of the school year, each student is tested and told his present academic level and is guided into appropriate courses."Since we work with a procedure called Mastery Learning in which each child is mastering a given individual level, we are able to have several grades in one room.No child is working at a level too difficult for him and no child is learning something he already knows.” Queen Mary, which operates within the North Vancouver school board, uses the basic curriculum to build a personalized education system.Academic courses are taught in the morning; creative courses are available in the afternoon and social skills are taught in home-room classes.“Home room, the first half-hour of the day, is a time when everyone gets together to say hello," says Ewan.“It’s much like having coffee with colleagues at work before the day begins.It's also a time when a child can get a hug or talk about a personal problem “There are only three rules in this school : Do nothing dan gerous or damaging, be under supervision, and obey the tea cher’s orders immediately and silently.“The individual education method understands what the child wants.A student seeks either attention, power, revenge, or in some cases, simply gives up altogether.In the classroom, you need a quick, efficient method of dealing with these needs.” SIGNAL USED Ewan handles discipline problems with a series of hand signals developed for the individual education system.“If a child is being disruptive in my class, I simply ‘point him out’ of the room.Any student ‘pointed out’ must leave immediately with absolutely no verbal exchange.He w ill remain outside for five seconds and then return If he persists in the unacceptable behavior, l can give him a ‘stop’ sign, in which case he must leave the class for the rest of the period.” Any child "stopped" from a class must go to a supervised area.Students can request an explanation for the teacher’s action at a later date.The hand-signal technique is backed up with referrals to the principal and a number of referrals will result in a conference with the parents and in extreme cases, dismissal.Claus Speikermann, Queen Mary’s principal, says absenteeism has dropped dramati caly during the school's four years using the individual edu cation method.“A great deal of interest has been generated in the system here,” says Speikermann “We have had a lot of educa tors come to study the method, particularly people from the United States.” Number of seniors back at school growing OTTAWA (CP) — University is no picnic, says Don Simpson.Pat Goodspeed agrees.Their comments are probably echoed by the vast majority of their fellow students.But Simpson and Goodspeed aren’t in the majority.They are two of the growing crowd of seniors at Ottawa universities and colleges.Simpson, 71, is a student of Indian thought, Russian art and Spanish.Goodspeed, who admits only to being in her 60s, is working on a master’s degree in film arts.Simpson and his wife.Betty, take courses at Carleton University to enrich their retirement travels around the world.They say they “feel ve- ry much a part of the university atmosphere.“We’ve never for a moment been made to feel outsiders.” MOVED FROM QUEBEC Goodspeed decided five years ago to pursue her interest in film.Her children had been raised in Quebec City and her husband is a semi-retired mathematician at Laval University there.With the blessing of her husband and two children, she rented a small apartment in Ottawa, enrolled at Carleton and began a bachelor of arts program, majoring in English and film studies.Last year, she got her undergraduate degree and is now working on her master of arts in Canadian film.Goodspeed says she never discusses age with fellow students.“That just sets up barriers.We have common interests and that’s what really counts.Age just doesn't seem to matter to students I work with either.” In terms of total enrolment, the number of seniors is small.But university officials predict their numbers will swell as more and more people reach retirement.The three Ottawa campuses — Carleton, University of Ottawa and Algonquin College — all have continuing education to cope with the needs of seniors seeking graduate or undergraduate degrees or following a specific interest.More than 1,000 seniors are enrolled at Ottawa university’s downtown campus.Most are in non degree courses, says Monique Thiverge of the university’s seniors resources centre.Regina Aulinskas of Carle-ton’s school of continuing education says integration of age groups “is our aim.We’ve achieving it and it works." Slightly more than 600 of the students in Carleton’s conti nuing education program are from 51 to 85 years old.Algonquin College officials say more than 160 students are seniors.Courses there tend to be more career oriented than those at other institutions.Bu siness and writing are po pular.Lennoxville Elementary School Commmittee The regular monthly meeting of the Lennoxville Elementary School Committee was held on Wednesday, April 4,1984, in the Staff Room of the School, 1 Academy Street, Lennoxville.Eight members, Principal Vance Patterson, Teachers’ Representative, Mile Dube and guest Mrs.V.Crook present.The meeting was chaired by Mr.Peter Holland.Eighty-two and one-half volunteer hours were spent in the school during the month of March.The Committee is very grateful that so many parents and friends of the school continue to provide a variety of services for our students on a volunteer basis.Students have been busy over the past month; * Six-Plus students have raised almost enough money by selling chocolate bars to finance their trip to Quebec City nr.Mi.24th and 25th.* Level One students visited the fire station as part of the unit they are studying in French with Mile Dube.* Level Two students are planning a trip to the post office on April 12th.This outing, arranged by Mile Dube, will enable the students to use the vocabulary acquired in the unit they are studying in French * Miss Keeley’s Level 3 students are taking very good care of the chickens they watched hatch in an incubator in their classroom as part of their Science programme.* Mrs.Stefano and Mrs.Davidson will take their Level 6 students to a sugar camp on April 10th.Mrs.Esther Barnett, Chairman of the Fundraising Committee, wishes to thank all students, parents and teachers for working so hard to make the Spell-a-Thon a suc- cess.So far we have raised $2,869.06 thanks to the efforts and excellent cooperation of staff, students and parents.Mrs.Wiley’s Level 5 students raised the most money and as a reward will be given the exclusive use of a computer for one month.The Committee feels this is an excellent and educationally-oriented way of raising money and wishes to thank the Ayer’s Cliff School Committee for sharing this novel idea.Dr.Sandra Booth, Representative to the LDSB Parents’ Committee, reported that the Townshippers’ Association is holding information sessions on the situation of Anglophones in the Townships on Saturday, May 12,1984, at Bishop’s University.These sessions will be followed by a dance at the B.U.Pub.All parents and friends are cordially invited to attend.Mr.Denis Menard will organize a Coat Hangar Drive to be held on Saturday, May 5, 1984.A door-to-door pick-up will be arranged in the Lennoxville area and all parents and friends of L.E.S.are asked to save their coat hangars for this fund raising event.The next meeting of the School Committee will be held at 7;30 p in.on Wednesday.May 2, 1984, in the Staff Room of the School.Parents are reminded that this will be the Spring Annual General Meeting of the Committee at which time the election of the 1984-85 School Committee will take place.Principal Vance Patter son will be sending home special notices of this meeting during the week of April 30 - May 4.Parents are encouraged to think about becoming invol ved as a member of the new School Committee — the expe rience can be very rewarding! On the books Education notes COWANSVILLE — Students of Massey-Vanier Regional High School will present their third annual Spring/Summer Fashion Show Thursday April 26 at 8 p.m.in the school auditorium.Teachers Lise Lizotte and Eva Newman have been working with the students for over a month on the project, which will feature wares of boutiques from Granby, Cowansville, Knowlton, Bedford and Farnham.Kelly Sparling and Tariq Hussain will be the masters of ceremony and profits from the $3-pcr-person tickets (at the door) will go to student activities and graduation awards.In addition to high fashion, Massey-Vanier students will present their second production of the season, titled A Thurber Carnival — a collection of anecdotes by well-known American humorist James Thurber — May 3-4 at 8 p.m Tickets can be purchased either at the door, by phoning the school (263-3772) between 1 and 3:30 p.m.or from a Massey-Vanier student • KNOWLTON — At a time of year when young people have to begin thinking about postsecondary education, the St Paul’s Anglican Church Women would like to offer a helping hand.The women’s group is offering the Canon Nurse Memorial Bursary to grade 11 students in the Town of Brome Lake area Applicants should state scholastic rating, ambitions, financial needs and include a character reference.For more information and/or an application form, write to Mrs George Donald, box 504, Knowlton, Town of Brome Lake, JOE 1V0 or call 243-5705.The deadline is May 15, 1984 • SHERBROOKE The Montreal-based group Interculture Canada is now looking for Eastern Townships families interested in hosting foreign students between the ages of 15 and 18 for the 1984-85 school year.Families are required to pay room and board for the visiting student but not what Interculture Canada terms "special expenses”.Medical coverage and a monthly allowance is provided by the organization.There are currently 140 students from 40 countries living and studying at high schools in Canadian communities.For more information call Lise at (514)288-3282.• SHERBROOKE — The department of pedagogy of the Université de Sherbrooke invites anyone interested in adult education to take part in a debate on the subject Tuesday.April 24 at 7:30 p.m.in the faculty of education auditorium.Guests invited to debate the Québec gover nment’s proposals in this matter include André Beaudoin, assistant deputy minister with the Mi nistry of Education, Paul Belanger, director of the Canadian Institute for Adult Education, and Jean-Yves Joannete of the Movement for Community Education.A fourth invitee has yet to be named.The debate is open to the public and admission is free.Sask.bilingualism means Ukranian is the second language SASKATOON (CP)— In Canada, the term bilin gual usually means being fluent in English and French.But for schoolchildren participating in a special education program here, it means being fluent in Ukrainian and English.In 1978, the Saskatchewan Education Department began a Ukrainian English project in kindergarten in Saskatoon.The project has since been expanded to include grades one to four.“By the time children reach grades three and four, they're fluent in Ukrainian and have no inhibitions whatsoever about speaking the language,” says Ed Werbicki, principal of St.Goretti School in Saskatoon.“As for the mastery of academics, they do just as well or better than children in a unilinguai program.” Plans call for the project to expand at about the rate of a grade a year and for the eventual development of a high-school course.Alexander Galt adds ‘Visiteens’ to its growing list of programs Following are the remaining names of the students on this year’s Spring Honour Roll —- those from Red, Orange, and Yellow Houses!

Legal notes BY CARLA COURTENAY Ann Saskatoon women form group to increase The Lennoxville and awareness,eradicate myths about infertility mstnetwomen^centre Many taxpayers have discovered that money earned one way is all taxable, but if it is earned in just a slightly different way it’s only half taxable.Nothing like a “50% off sale” at tax time.I'm talking of course about Capital Gains Tax.Since it was added to our tax system in the early 1970’s, one tends only to think of it as an added tax.But it can be used as a way of reducing tax.If a taxpayer invests his money in assets which he will later re sell at a profit he may be embarking on a business venture.Or, he may be acquiring capital property which will later result in a capital gain.Besides the 50% difference in taxability, what’s the difference?Here are the two examples.One of them was judged to be capital gain, the other a business profit or income 1.Mr Lovering bought parcels of land in Charlottetownovera numberof years He figured land would appreciate in value better than stocks on the stock market.He could wait for his money.In 1979 he sold two of them and reported his “capi tal gain’’ to the Minister of National Revenue The Minister took the position that the so-called gain was instead a business profit and should be taxed as income.Mr.Lovering received a bill for $8,184 and then filed an appeal 2.Mr.Toulouse was the principal shareholder in his construction company and he bought a piece of property in Laval in order to relocate his business.Within a few daysof his purchase he ran into unexpected zoning problems and couldn’t use the land as planned A few weeks later he was lucky enough to get an unsolicited offer on the property and he sold it, making a surprising profit.The Minister assessed it as business income, but Mr.Toulouse wanted it taxed as a capital gain Which sale of land resulted in a capital gain and which did the Tax Appeal Board say was income?The law on the subject is that the intention of the taxpayer at the moment of acquisition of property determines the question more than the nature of the property and the transaction with it.What was the purpose of acquiring the property?What use was the property to the taxpayer?Why did he dispose of it?As soon as the intention to do business, in the broadest sense of the word, is perceived, the profit earned will be viewed as business income and will be fully taxed.If you intend to buy and to sell to thereby make money, you are in business.If you acquire property, make some use of it, and then later sell it at an opportune moment, you intended to hold capital property and its later disposition is a capital gain.If you are still with me then you will correctly guess that Mr Lovering had to cough up the $8,184 but Mr.Toulouse’s construction company only got assessed at the capital gain rate of 50% of the profit he made on the sale (he saved himself the tax on $25,000).If you can show that your purchase of property had a personal, family or business purpose or usefulness, it will be seen as a capital acquisition.If not, and you later resell it at a profit, you may be taxed twice what you expected.Mr.Lovering testified that he hoped his investments in land would appreciate and that he sold whenever the value reached his investment objective.The Tax Review Board stated that this was the “purest definition of trading that anyone can want.You buy and you sell and you make money Carla Courtenay is a lawyer practising in Lennoxville.SASKATOON (CP) — It was the mental anguish, the feeling of being alone in a world full of gurgling babies and happy families, that prompted two Saskatoon women to form Infertility, Facts and Feelings “I felt there was nobody 1 could talk to,” said Donna Steffen, a laboratory technologist at a Saskatoon hospital.“1 couldn’t even talk to my mother — she had children.You want empathy, an understanding ear.” Hildred Richardson, a personnel consultant, was dealt a double blow.She stalled pregnancy until she and her husband had achieved career goals, then “nothing happened .' ’ Richardson was considering trying the test-tube fertilization method in the United States when she discovered last October she was pre- gnant.A miscarriage occurred two months later."I hadn’t dealt with my infertility and it all crashed down on me,” she said.The group formed by the two women aims to increase awareness about infertility and to support those unable to conceive or to carry a pregnancy to a live birth.This includes an estimated one in five couples of childbearing age.The two women hope to eradicate some myths about infertility, the biggest being that it’s just a female problem.CITES FIGURES Dr.Charles Simpson, head of the infertility clinic at Saskatoon’s University Hospital, said 10 to 15 per cent of reproductive-age couples have fertility problems.Of these, problems with a male’s sperm production accounts for 40 per cent of the cases.Problems originate with the female 20 per cent of the time.Combined male-female dysfunctions result in 30 per cent of infertility complaints.There is no explanation for the cause 10 per cent of the time, he said.Drugs may be used to improve a low sperm count, but the success rate is low, Simpson said “The most successful treatment is donor artificial insemination,” he said.“It increases fertility chances in selected couples from less than five per cent to between 70 and 80 per cent.” Tubal disease, due to previous pelvic infection, is a leading cause of female infertility, Simpson said.Poor or absent ovulation is another factor.There have been massive strides in the improvement of microsurgical techniques to repair tubal damage, he said.Various drugs are also available to simulate ovulation.OFFER HELP Richardson and Steffen want to make these facts known and have their group act as a referral agency.“Many people might not know how to go about getting infertility diagnosed, or how to start adoption proceedings,” Steffen said.Infertility can also strain a relationship.Couples may benefit from referrals for marriage or sexual counselling.“It’s important to talk about all the options,” Steffen said.“Some couples may choose to remain child-free.” The group offers answers, guidance and, possibly most important, strength."I’m not giving up,” said Richardson.“Until I hit menopause, I’ll hope to become pregnant.” The Canadian Club of the Eastern Townships The Canadian Club of the Eastern Townships held their spring dinner meeting as planned at the Hotel Le President on the 12th of April.The guest speaker was the hostess of the weekly television interview show Geraldine, who is every bit as delightful in person as she is on television.Geraldine Doucet commenced public speaking just last year so she states it is a relatively new career for her, but she finds it very stimulating and rewarding to be in such close contact with people.She says it keeps her on her toes and in touch with her peers.Her topic — “Reach Out for Tomor row’’, she felt could also be referred to as “It is never too Late” and also “The Best of Time” when she sung a verse from the song — The Best of Time is Now.Referring to her chil dhood, Geraldine said life was not easy for her parents in New York and they had decided not to have any more children, but she arrived anyhow! In spite of whatever, she found life exciting and was sent to singing and dancing lessons which meant so much to her.Unable to afford otherwise, she was wearing her mother’s fur coat and diamond ring when she met Roger, who she was aware was in the back-ground, and was completely swept off her feet when instead of shaking her hand he kissed it.The following week he ‘proposed’, and at the time of their marriage they had the large amount of $7.00 in the bank.She was 22 years old.Amid work and travel they produced three children — all boys, one of which was born in New York, one in London, England and the other in Montreal.All during social notes La ndersr Dear Ann Landers: I am a young woman in my early 20s, still living at home (sorry to say ) because of economic necessity.Please tell

that day.The next day he felt the same and did a little jogging thinking that this would help, but then his head troubled him.He insisted on singing “Oh Canada” as was his practice at The Forum before all of “The Canadiens” games, and the next day went to church with the rest of the family.At this time it was obvious that he could not pronounce words correctly.Geraldine states at this time she was perturbed and after church took him to the hospital where a diagnosis of malignant brain tumor was made.From this time, for her, Roger was a lesson in living, when dying.At this time they had been married 31 years, life took on a different, forlorn meaning for Geraldine.However, after a period of withdrawal and frustration, she was offered a part in a sing-show by the CBC which she accepted and used as a challenge.From then she learned to greet each day as it dawned and to say to herself “I have today”, then “Do whatever there is to do with a smile.” When her husband died Geraldine requested “no flowers, money instead”.The money became quite a substantial amount and then she wondered what she should do with it.Now it has become the basis of The Roger Doucet Humani tarian Fund.Currently,

contrasting reactions from business spokesmen Monday, with some welcoming its intention to consult with Canadians while another condemned it as a ‘‘bucket of mush.” That was John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, who criticized the report because “it doesn’t say anything that wasn’t already known.” “You could write the same report by compiling a year’s copies of financial newspapers,” Bulloch said.“It gives the impression of massive ac- tion but is doing nothing more than collecting everyone’s thoughts.It doesn’t say a single thing I didn’t know.” The notion that the country has options it can choose is just “phoney baloney.” “Events are moving away beyond the capacity of national governments to control.Our view is that our society is undergoing a fundamental transition and there isn’t a central solution to rapid change.” MUST BE ADAPTABLE The Canadian Chamber of Commerce had kinder words about the report of the commission, whose chairman is former finance minister Donald Macdonald.Marsha Gordon, economist and policy coordinator for the chamber, said the commission is carrying out an important task by giving Canadians the opportunity to discuss the economic future of the country.“The process of involving people in the debate is probably as valuable as any substance at the initial stage,” Gordon said.“They’re focusing debate on very important issues like technological change and productivity.” Gordon said she agrees with the commission’s argument that Canada can no longer have a free ride off its natural resources.“Making Canadians talk about these issues is very important," she said.Thomas d’Aquino, president of the Business Council on National Issues, which is made up of 150 of the country’s top executives, also chose to stress the positive.ADDRESSES ISSUES “The document addresses a num ber of the key issues affecting Cana- Canadians faced with report that says nothing new After spending about half of its $22-million budget, the Macdonald royal commission on Canada’s economic prospects has concluded that, yes, there are difficulties and something should be done about them.Just what is anyone’s guess, because the commission’s interim report issued Monday doesn’t come up with specific recommendations.Instead, it offers 60 “choices” for further discussion, from which it hopes to distill a consensus for a final report sometime next year Donald Macdonald, former Liberal finance minister and a high-level Bay Street corporate lawyer before accepting the leadership of the commission 18 months ago, says this is the proper approach.At a Toronto news conference at which the interim report was made public, he argued that the economy is a pretty complicated thing, so we can’t go for simplistic answers to the problems.Let’s boil the major issues down as much as possible, he said in effect, and then we’ll take them back to the public for further discussion.That’s fair enough, and certainly it’s a reasonable approach in theory.The trouble is that you don’t create jobs out of theories and, while the country is waiting for the commission to spend the other half of its huge budget, some 1.5 million Canadians are looking for work With the benefit of hindsight, it now is clear the commission should have been appointed — if it was needed at all — 18 months before Prime Minister Trudeau announced its formation in No- It's your business BY KEN SMITH vember, 1982.At that time, the Canadian economy was starting to claw its way out of the worst recession seen since the Depression of the 1930s.A year and a half earlier that recession was just starting and, if the signs had been recognized, a royal commission might have been able to use some spurs and a whip to get things moving more quickly.Instead, Canadians now are faced with an interim report that essentially repeats what many business, labor and political leaders have been saying for almost two years.Item.Unemployment is too high.Well, there are 1.5 million people who can testify to that, without the need for a royal commission.Item.The makeup of the economy is changing, so Canada can no longer count automatically on its natural resources for future growth — it has to develop a competitive industrial, modern base for economic growth.It’s hard to argue against that but, with respect, commissioners, business and labor leaders have been making that speech so often lately it no Ion ger rates as news.Item.The economy is complex, so to progress you have to advance on many fronts, from upda ting factory equipment to getting smarter mana gement, better labor relations and educational programs that match the needs for a fastchanging economy.Frankly, commissioners, that’s something any high-school kid who has taken a good look at the world around him or her could have told you a long time ago.The point is this.How do you get the money to invest in that new, high-technology factory equipment?How do you train or retrain management so they know what they’re doing in today’s increasingly competitive world?How do you take care of workers who find their jobs taken away by that very same hi-tech world deemed so essential to economic growth What educational programs do you introduce so today’s youth will be able to find work, instead of suffering under a 20-per-cent unemployment rate?Macdonald says his commission’s interim report will help focus attention on these problems and, especially, the way they affect each other.But the problems are well known.What we need is answers.dians,” he said, adding that he was hopeful politicians would soon start offering policies to tackle the problems.“There is no shortage of ideas on how to solve Canada's dilemmas but what is crucial now is that we all put our backs to the wheel and run with some of the proposed solutions quickly.” Although the commission will not produce its final report until sometime in 1984, d'Aquino said politicians should not take this to mean they are in limbo for the next year or so.“We are expecting action sooner than that.” Richard Mealary, chief economist with the B C.Central Credit Union, welcomed the commission's accent on unemployment as the leading pro blem facing the nation.“If we can get only one idea out of the commission to improve the unem ployment situation,” he said, “the cost of the commission will be more than made up in the savings we make on the costs to society of unemployment.” IS DISAPPOINTED However, Michael Walker, director of the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute, said he is disappointed with the report.“I think that, unfortunately, it doesn’t reflect the full range of concerns or potential choices available to us,” he said.Walker, who has praised the direc tion Premier Bill Bennett is taking British Columbia, said the report doesn’t acknowledge the changes going on in other countries such as Britain, France and the United States.“I think that’s the challenge we should facing — to decide what we in Canada are going to make of Reaga-nism, Thatcherism and even the Mit-terand U-turn (in France).” He said he believed the reason for Donald Macdonald and his commissioners look IS months and $10 million to hand down their interim report.this was that the commission members are reflecting ideas from the 1960s and 1970s.“There is reluctance in the report to suggest that maybe we've lived through two decades of mistakes,” he said, suggesting the commission reflects the bias of the Liberal gover nment.“For example, the report says there are problems in the private sector but it doesn’t even mention that there are problems in the public sector I think that's a major failing." Encourage our advertisers Pension Plan leading provinces to ruin TORONTO (CP) — It was one of those bland financial statements that often pass unnoticed.Yet to Ontario taxpayers and the country’s future old-age pensioners it could mean hundreds of dollars a year in added taxes and payroll deductions or the viability of their pension plans.Liberal Leader David Peterson claimed in the legislature recently that a $25-billion tab is looming over the province’s head that could bankrupt public pension funds and force huge increases in taxes.He said the province has borrowed that enormous sum from pension funds it controls and that the first interest payments will be due in 1986.By 1991, payments will have to be made on the principal of the loans.What’s worse, he charged, the funds have been starved of needed interest income because the province, which controls the funds and guarantees the money in them, has been able to borrow at below market rates.Of the $25-billion total, more than half or about $13.5 billion has been borrowed from the Canada Pension Plan, $6.4 billion from the Teachers Superannuation Fund and $5.6 billion from two municipal pension funds.NOT ALONE Ontario is not the only province engaged in this type of financial practice, although it’s by far the biggest borrower from the Canada Pension Plan.For example, British Columbia has borrowed almost $3.5 billion from the plan, Alberta $2.5 billion and Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia about $1 billion each.Quebec has borrowed almost exclusively from its own $8.4-billion plan.In fact, borrowing from the Canada Pension Plan accounts for more than 45 per cent of Ontario’s total outstanding debt, 38 per cent for Alberta and about 30 per cent for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan.Peterson charged that instead of using the money productively, the Davis gover- nment has squandered it on useless projects such as $1 billion in land purchases and the $625-million purchase of a minority stake in the Suncor oil company.The bottom line, said Peterson, is that Ontario has no choice but to raise taxes to start repaying its borrowings from the pension plan, or the plan might go bankrupt by the turn of the century.Davis shot back that Peterson was firing blanks and said acidly that Ontario has always paid its bills and will always do so.When the Canada Pension Plan was set up in 1966 it was designed to be initially a partially funded program: for a substantial period, contributions would exceed benefits.INFLOW REVERSED This excess, which today stands at about $23 billion, would be turned over to the provinces, which would each be allowed to borrow from the annual surplus an amount proportional to the contributions paid by its residents.However, as was recognized from the start, total pay- ments from the plan would even eventually rise faster than contributions.For example, contributions to the Canada and Quebec pension plans in 1982-83 totalled only $4.4 billion, a mere $300 million more than what was needed to pay retirement, disability and survivor benefits.By contrast, in 1971-72 the funds paid out about $190 million to 331,000 people.Defenders of the Ontario government say the designers of the CPP plan envisaged that the contribution rate, now at 1.8 per cent from both em ployees and employers, would be jacked up to as high as eight or 10 per cent as the more people retired They also note that the strengthening of private plans as proposed by both federal and provincial finance ministers will reduce the importance of the Canada plan.Pension analysts generally agree the most likely outcome is higher taxes or higher contribution rates.In either case it’s money out of the average worker’s pocket.Business shorts OTTAWA (CP) — The government plans to borrow $775 million through a new bond issue May 1, the Finance Department said Monday.The money will be used for general government purposes, the department said.No bonds are maturing on that date.• MONTREAL (CP) — Thanks to government policies favoring natural gas, Gaz Metropoli-tain Inc.enjoyed another good year in 1983, but plans to diversify before the domestic market becomes saturated.President Jean Gau-lin told shareholders at the Quebec utility’s annual meeting Monday the company is setting up Gaz Métropolitain International to sell its expertise in gas distribution to Third World countries.The World Bank has noted many Third World countries are importing oil at a great cost while sitting on natural gas reserves, Gaulin said.Gaz Métropolitain International is joining forces with some Montreal consulting engineering companies in seeking contracts in the Ivory Coast, Algeria, Peru and Argentina.• NEW YORK (AP) -Rockefeller Centre Inc., a privately held company with sizable interests in real estate including world-renowned Rockefeller Centre, has changed its name to The Rockefeller Group to reflect recent corporate diversi-fication, it said Monday.Richard Voell, president and chief executive, said the new name “accurately reflects the balance and scope of our business interests.” He noted that earlier this year, the company acquired the Outlet Co., now known as Outlet Communications Inc., a broadcasting group based in Providence, R.I., and formed The Rockefeller Centre Telecommunications Corp.to provide improved telecommunication services to tenants of Rockefeller Centre, in the middle of Manhattan.The company had been known by its former name for more than 50 years, Voell said.• PARIS (AP) — The number of job seekers ip France rose by a seasonally adjusted 2.3 per cent in March to 2.24 million from 2.19 million in February, the government said Monday.STOCKHOLM (AP) — Th Swedish unemployment rate dropped to 3.1 per cent in March from 3.2 per cent in February and 3.4 per cent in March 1983, the government said Monday.VIENNA (AP) — Consumer prices in Austria rose 0.3 per cent in March from February and 5.8 per cent from March 1983, the government said Monday.Prices for food and drinks rose six per cent, tobacco and cigarettes 11.1 per cent, rent 6.6 per cent and transportation prices 8.4 per cent.• NEW YORK (AP) — Time Inc.said Monday its first-quarter net in- come rose 50.5 per cent to $43.5 million or 67 cents a share, from $28.9 million or 46 cents a share in the same period a year ago.Revenues for the information and entertainment company were $694 million, up 14.7 per cent from $605 million a year earlier, it said.All the company’s operating groups showed improvement, said J.Richard Munro,

562 2685 / 889 2231 coorjmire f Sports Expos spoil Mets opener, win 10-0 The RECORD—Wednesday.April 18.1884—9 the' NEW YORK (AP) — It was halfway through the 1983 baseball season that fate took a hand in Bryn Smith’s future.Left-hander Randy Lereh was released by Montreal and another Expos southpaw.Woody Fryman, got injured.Yet another lefty was gone when the Expos optioned Chris Welsh to the minors.That left fifth starter Dan Schatze-der as the only lefty on the squad, so he was moved to the bullpen, bumping the right-handed Smith into the starting rotation.“I wanted a chance to start, just to see how it would go," Smith says.So far, it’s gone pretty well.After July 29, Smith made 12 starts, hurled five complete games and three shutouts.On Tuesday, Smith posted his third victory of the 1984 National League season without a loss, at the same time pitching the Expos’ first shutout and complete game of the season, a 10-0 five-hitter against New York at the Mets’ home opener.“I was a little scared today because I haven’t had much success at Shea Stadium," said Smith, 28, who was 0-3 lifetime against the Mets.“I have to admit I was intimidated a little bit, it being opening day and all.’’ CARTER HELPS Smith allowed only one runner as far as second, while striking out three and walking two.He got all the support he needed from Gary Carter, who hit a grand slam home run in the fourth inning.It was his seventh lifetime slam and second homer of the year.“I just had to go at it hitter-by-hitter,” Smith said.“Today, I had a little trouble with my changeup, my bread-and-butter pitch.“I threw more fastballs today, and thenlfounda curveball.I’m a gamer.I’m not overpowering.I’m the kind of pitcher that has to go out there and find out what he’s got and use it.” The Mets threatened against Smith only once, when John Gibbons and pinch-hitter Danny Heep hit consecutive one-out singles in the fifth.But Smith got Wally Backman on a fly to deep centre and Jose Oquendo struck out.“It was disheartening to have this kind of a game in front of so many people,” Mets manager Dave Johnson said of the crowd that numbered 46,637.“Thank God there are no more home openers.“It was pretty embarrassing, but it’s a long year.” The Expos scored six of their runs off Mets rookie right-hander Ron Darling, 1-1, who gave up eight hits and walked four before leaving after four innings.LITTLE CONNECTS Montreal scored once in the first on a single by Pete Rose, a bunt single by Bryan Little, who had three hits, and a throwing error by Mets third base-man Hubie Brooks.Tim Wallach drove in a run in the third and Carter hit his grand slam off Darling in the fourth.“Anytime you hit a grand slam, any home run, a hit even, it’s a thrill,” Carter said.“I’m not just a player.I’m a fan.“I get a thrill out of just going out to play.” Carter said he hit a breaking ball out over the plate.“It’s tough for a rookie in front of 46,000 people at a home opener,” Carter said of Darling.“I’m sure if you ask him, he’ll say he had some butterflies.“He was fighting himself a little today.” Darling called it a strange sort of game as the Expos stranded six men in the first three innings.But he said, “I didn’t put any extra pressure on myself.It was kind of exciting with so many people.” Montreal added four more runs in the seventh off Dick Tidrow.Wallach singled and Terry Francona doubled.Argenis Salazar drove in two runs with a triple, Smith doubled home a run and Rose got the final run of the Gary Carter.Hits grand slam.inning home with a single.Jays 3 Orioles 2 George Bell snapped a 2-2 tie with an RBI single in the eighth inning, giving Toronto a come-from-behind victory over Baltimore.The Orioles had taken a 2-0 lead in the fifth, one of the runs coming on a home run by John Lowenstein.But the Blue Jays eventually tied it with two runs in the sixth on an RBI single by Cliff Johnson and a sacrifice fly by Buck Martinez.Phillies 4 Pirates 1 Charles Hudson and A1 Holland combined on a four-hitter and Mike Schmidt’s homer drove in the decisive run in Philadelphia’s victory.After Tony Pena slammed his second homer of the season in the second inning, the Phillies tied the score 1-1 in the fourth on Sixto Lezcano’s single and a one-out double by Glenn Wilson.Schmidt then broke the tie with his fourth homer in the sixth inning and the Phillies added two insurance runs in the eighth.Oilers, Islanders set to clinch series Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders, Stanley Cup finalists last year and the teams many forecast would be back for a rematch in the National Hockey League championship series again this spring, can take a giant step in that direction tonight.Both lead their best-of-seven division finals 3-1 and can finish off Calgary Flames and Washington Capitals, respectively, to earn a breather while awaiting outcomes of the other division finals.In other games tonight, Montreal Canadiens are at Quebec to play the Nordiques and St.Louis Blues in Minnesota to face the North Stars.Both series are 2-2.Both the Oilers and Islanders would welcome a rest, although the Islanders would relish it more.After the game tonight, Edmonton will have played eight playoff games in 15 days.The Oilers got a four-day break after eliminating Winnipeg Jets in the minimum three games in the first round.The Islanders have had a more rigorous schedule: They were stretched to the maximum five by New York Rangers in the first round and, after tonight, will have played 10 games in 15 days.“We’d like to get it over at home,” says Islander forward Clark Gillies.“The rest would do us good because we have so many aches and pains.” TWO RETURN Islander forwards Bob Bourne, who hurt a shoulder in the first game with Washington last Thursday, and John Tonelli, who bruised a shoulder last Friday, will return tonight.Defenceman Dave Langevin will remain sidelined with a separated shoulder.New York captain Denis Potvin also will be absent.He’ll be in Vanier, Ont., to attend the funeral of his father.Washington will be without defenceman Darren Veitch, who stretched Hockey great dead at 50 MONTREAL (CP) — Claude Provost, a right winger with Montreal Canadiens for 15 National Hockey League seasons, died Tuesday at the age of 50 when he suffered a heart attack while playing golf near his home in Miami.Regarded as one of the game’s top defensive specialists in a career that started in 1955 and ended in 1970, Provost, a Montreal resident who also had a home in Florida, scored 254 goals and added 335 assists in 1,005 games.He gained the most prominence for his shadowing of Bobby Hull, the Chicago Black Hawks forward who was one of the prolific scorers of that era.Henri Richard, the former Canadiens captain, said in an interview Tuesday that the news was a heavy blow.“From the age of 13 or 14, we always played on the same teams together,” said Richard.“We broke in with the Canadiens together.“It’s strange, I was thinking about Claude before I heard the news this morning because I knew that he had got married on April 17.” knee ligaments last Friday, and right winger Bob Gould, who underwent surgery for a broken cheekbone incurred in the same game.New York goaltender Billy Smith will be attempting to tie Ken Dryden’s all-time playoff record of 80 victories.The Flames, although on the verge of elimination, they say they won’t lie down tonight in Edmonton.“No one is ready to quit,” said Calkary defenceman Jamie Macoun.“Obviously it isn’t as positive a situation as being 1-1 and coming home, but it’ll be harder hitting because we know it could be our last game.” Monday’s game, a 5-3 Edmonton victory, was the most physical of the series.BEERS BOISTEROUS In one 15-second span midway through the third period, Calgary’s Eddy Beers broke his stick over the back of Oilers’ defenceman Paul Coffey, skated past his bench to pick up a new stick and then sent Jari Kurri sprawling to the ice with a two-handed slash across the back of the legs.“I don’t think there’s any hate personally, but it certainly is serious out there now," said Oilers defenceman Kevin Lowe.“Individual battles build up over three or four games.“It’s no picnic out there.” One of those suffering from the hard hitting is scoring ace Wayne Gretzky, who has a badly bruised left arm and says he was hit hard eight times Monday.Meanwhile, Minnesota received a blow Tuesday when X-rays revealed that Tom McCarthy, the North Stars’ second leading scorer during the season, is out for the duration with a spinal injury suffered Monday when he crashed into a goal post.Scoreboard —_____gej IBBCDTII Habs need perfect defence to survive in playoffs against flashy Nordiques QUEBEC (CP) — In the view of Montreal Canadiens head coach Jacques Lemaire, there was a valuable lesson to be derived from the 4-3 overtime defeat his National Hockey League team suffered against Quebec Nordiques on Monday night.It goes something like this: a team simply can’t afford to relax when it appears to have a lock on the game.The Canadiens held leads of both 2-0 and 3-1, only to lose on Bo Berglund’s overtime goal, which knotted their best-of seven Adams Division final at 2-2, with the fifth game at the Colisee tonight.“I’m disappointed because we got overconfident after the two goal leads,” said Lemaire on Tuesday.“We thought we had it won and certain players lacked discipline.“That especially happened at the start of the third period, when we had some good chances to score.We forced the play, but in doing that, we forgot the basics of our strategy.” The strategy, which had worked well to that point, has been to take away the middle and work feverishly to control the boards.In other words, their tight checking left the Nordiques frustrated.LOSE PUCK Two of the goals came when Montreal players were stripped of the puck, either in the corner or along the boards.“We simply lost the battle of the boards," said Lemaire.The Canadiens also lost home-ice advantage, but as Montreal forward Mario Tremblay said, “that’s not worth a nickel in this series.” Both teams have won a game on the road.With such unpredictablity, it is little wonder that Quebec centre Peter Stastny, when asked what he expected once the series resumes, replied in two words: “To win.” It was Stastny who had much to do with Quebec’s triumph Monday night.Besides setting up defence-man Randy Moller for the tying goal at 11:23 of the third period and assisting on an earlier goal by Wilf Paiement, Stastny was a constant threat inside the Montreal zone.“His best game of the series,” agreed Quebec coach Michel Bergeron.“But I’ve been coaching Peter for four years and I’ve seen him do so many things that nothing surprises me.” Mention Peter Stastny to Lemaire and a smile creases his face.“He’s got unbelievable talent,” Lemaire said.“If I had a scorer like him on my team, I wouldn’t be as nervous.But Lemire added: “We’re still going to play defensively ; we don’t Mario Tremblay's scrappy defensive play has been a key to the Habs' success so far.have any choice.” A breakdown in their defensive system could have the same repercussions as the fourth game, however.“We can’t afford the slightest relapse,” said Bob Gainey, the Montreal captain.“We have to complete all our checks because a team like Quebec is always ca- pable of taking advantage of the least mistake.” That view was endorsed by Stastny, who said: "The important thing is that Sunday they played their best hockey (a 2-1 victory) When they played their style perfectly, they won the game.Monday night, they didn’t play it perfectly and we beat them." Maine, Rochester advance in playoffs Rochester Americans and Maine Mariners each earned a spot in Calder Cup semifinals with American Hockey League playoff victories Tuesday night at the expense of St.Catharines Saints and Adirondack Red Wings.Rochester downed St.Catharines 4-2 to win its best-of-seven quarter-final series 4-3.Maine, which never led in its series, won the seventh and deciding game with Adirondack 5-3.Left winger Yvon Lambert scored two goals and assisted on another in the third period to lead Rochester to the win and into the Southern Division final against Baltimore Skipjacks beginning Friday.Maine advances to the Northern Di vision final against the winner of a seventh and deciding game tonight in Fredericton between the Express and Nova Scotia Voyageurs.Lambert broke a 1-1 tie with a goal at 4:53 of the third period and lifted Rochester to a 3-1 lead with another goal at 15:32.After Ernie Godden scored for St Catharines at 17:32, Lambert assisted on Mai Davis’s empty-net goal with three seconds remaining.Warren Harper of Rochester and Gary Yaremchuk of St.Catharines traded first-period goals.Rochester outshot St.Catharines 36-25.Roy Sommer and Glenn Merkosky each scored two goals to spark Maine.Sommer scored a pair of goals 45 seconds apart early in the first period to give the Mariners a lead they never lost.Merkosky scored the third Maine goal early in the second period and Grant Mulvey gave the Marinersa4-0 lead at 10:28 of the period Goals by Ted Nolan and Ted Speers five minutes apart later in the period brought the Wings within two goals, but Merkosky scored his second goal on a power play with 1 49 remaining in the period.Nolan scored Adirondack’s final goal with 6:41 left.Veteran goaltender Sam St.Laurent continued his outstanding play for the Mariners, turning aside 38of 40 shots St Laurent played the final four games of the series and gave up six goals, only one of them in an even-strength situation RAQFRALL

That means cake, presents with beautiful ribbons, and the most special party clothes! Before the fun can begin, you as a parent must get organized.Prepare tor the party days before so that you can be available to supervise as well as enjoy the party when it gets into full swing.First things first Begin by choosing a theme for the party.Maybe your little boy loves baseball and you can arrange a baseball party decorated like the playing field.Or maybe you want a pretty party for a girl complete with balloons and crepe paper.• Begin your preparations with a list of supplies.Include paper plates, napkins, tablecloths, party hats, crepe paper, balloons, candles, utensils, cups.• Ask your child whom to invite, hut make sure that you set a limit.For instance, 10-15 children would be manageable, 35 might not • Send a written invitation two weeks in advance to each child.You could write the invitations on cardboard, then cut them up jigsaw style.Directions should be included instructing the child to complete the puzzle to read the message.Or, you might write the invitation on an inflated balloon.Deflate the balloon and mail it to the child with instructions to blow up the balloon to read the invitation.• Make sure that the invitation states the birthday child’s name, address, phone number, and the length of the party—specify when the party ends.A time of two to three hours is plenty for the festivities.Request that they call to say whether they will be able to come, • Mothers will be happy to be told what the birthday child will be wearing.If it is to be a dress-up party, mothers will want to select a pretty party dress like those from the Wildflower Collection at JCPenney.These easy-eare dresses in sizes from newborn to 4-6X have embroidery, screen printing, and all-over floral designs depicting wildflowers from all across America.All designs are precise in detail and are approved by the National Council of State Garden Clubs.• Plan activities for every minute of the party.It is better to have too many things planned than to have a house lull of idle children.Consider staging old favorites like musical chairs, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, and treasure hunts.From the pens of ET writers THE HEART OF A MOTHER Imagine the heart of Mary How it must have been full of joy When the angel Gabriel told her the wonderful news.She would give birth to a baby boy.In her heart she was troubled As to how this could be And upon the thought she tarried For she knew not any man And to Joseph she was just betrothed They had not yet married The Holy Spirit overshadowed her As the good news she received And blessed among all women God’s Son she did conceive What love she must have had for Him When at her breast He did feed, As she gently held Him in her arms And met His every need She nursed and nurtured Him through His childhood Taught Him good things for His own sake Did she fully understand That some day her heart would break?How much did she look to the future How He was to die on the cross When they found Him in the temple The day they thought He was lost?He was going about His Father’s business, Talking to the wise men of the day Listening and asking questions, Hearing what they had to say She must have been real proud of Him For He was just 12 years old He possessed the knowledge He was God incarnate That’s what the scriptures told They also said a virgin would conceive and bare a son The government would be upon His shoulders, The Counsellor, the Prince of Peace He was the most High God, the Almighty One Did she know of the time in the garden When He begged God to take the cup When He said, “Not my will but Thine, Lord”.For He knew that His time on earth was up?Or did she know about the upper room, When He broke the bread and shared the wine He told them very sorrowfully that He had not much more time?That there was one among them In whose heart that very day Was a special fondness of money And the master would betray As He hung and suffered there Her heart like the veil in the temple was tom.For there hung the man to whom she gave birth And her thoughts went back to the day He was bom She heard Him speak the words so kindly, To the disciple, “Behold Your Mother" As he very gently lead her home Her face in tears was smoothered She could not then go to Him In agony He was to hang and die r As He asked His Father to forgive them For He knew that they were lost And for the joy that was before Him He had endured the cross.As we welcome these glorious Spring days We think of the Lamb of God who was slain But for you and I and all mankind He did not die in vain For if we now receive Him as our Soviour and Lord In His likeness and holiness we can be shod And He will present us faultless that day, In the presence of a Holy God EVELYN BRYANT BEAUDOIN Sherbrooke, Que.THE MIRACLE OF SPRING .Small drifts of snow, air their dirty linens In sheltered dips and hollows here and there, The Earth, still drab from Winter’s hibernation Shows not a trace of Spring’s approach, so fair.Trees lift bare arms in earnest supplication As they stand bereft, ‘neath leaden, sullen sky, Mutely pleading, for Spring’s warm and healing rains.As the wind around their trembling shoulders, sighs.We too, raise hopeful eyes to find the sun -Whose healing rays evade our searching gaze, For late Winter’s dingy garments irk us now, And Spring is near - our hopes are surely raised.Then, midst the sodden grass, a crocus thrusts -Eager, vibrant - this pure and lovely thing, Released and resurrected - joyful in fulfilment -We too, take heart, as we witness the Miracle of Spring.MARGE MONTGOMERY

* >'x .sentenced him to 10 years imprisonment.) A Belgian agent reported a rush-order in Ghent for 20,000 mouth protectors “to protect the men against the effects of asphyxiating gas.” Another agent reported an attack would be made with gas on the Ypres Salient April 15-16.On April 14, the Germans accused the French of using poison gas at Verdun.The charge was untrue but, had it been coupled with these other pieces of information, it should have alerted the Allies that Germany was about to ‘retaliate’.It did not.The British commander at Ypres passed the rumour of gas on to his superiors “for what it was worth”.When the French commander handed over his trenches to the Canadians on April 17th, he warned his counterpart of the rumours and suggested shelling the front lines to destroy any cylinders possibly assembled there.Instead, the British sent reconnaissance planes over the area, saw no cylinders, and the French commander was dismissed from his command for spreading false and demoralizing rumours.The gas was there nevertheless.Germany produced 37 tons of chlorine every day for use in its dyeing industry and chlorine was heavy enough not to dissipate before every vagrant breeze, to roll along the ground and sink to the bottom of trenches and shell holes where frightened troops would be cowering.It was easily visible to strike terror in those on whom it was advancing and inspire confidence on the troops who followed closely behind to take over ground thus won.It left no residue but it attacked the lungs, burning and choking, robbing soldiers of the will to live and incapacitating them for further fighting.It was so promising, in fact, that a colonel in the U.S.Army Medical Corps claimed poison gas “is not only one of the most efficient agencies for effecting casualties but is the most humane method ever applied in the battlefield.” Chemical weapons had been around since the invention of Greek Fire but had been banned by the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1906.This made no difference to the Germans.By April 11, 5760 cylinders had been installed in the front lines from a point 1200 yards west of Poelcappelleto just east of the Yser Canal.For the next 10 days, only the absence of a favourable breeze prevented their use.THE ATTACK Thursday, April 22, 1915, dawned bright and sunny.The Salient had been under fairly heavy shelling for three days but this seemed to have been directed mainly at roads and bridges.The morning passed as usual and there was a lull in the early afternoon.Canadians of the Third Infantry Brigade asked divisional headquarters to send up some harmonicas and playing cards.They were told there were no playing cards left but that a hundred harmonicas were on their way.They never arrived.At 4 p m.a violent bombardment opened up on Territorial and Algerian front lines and this gradually shifted eastward to pound Canadian lines.At 5p.m.the Germans opened the valves on their gas canisters and 160 tons of chlorine was released into a light northeast wind.It began rolling towards Allied lines at about 6 miles per hour.The Third Canadian Infantry Brigade reported “a cloud of green vapour several hundred yards in length” between Algerian trenches and the poeucappele ATTACK GAS APR 24 7) K1TCUEWCR JUUEM// MAY4- SALIENT APR.22 - MAY 4, 1915 EPP-5 «4- ANTWERP HENT ARWEMTIEEES FESTUBERT BELGIUM Ex4en! of German Advance, March 21 VALENClENMES |-2 Mov.ARRAS O | Scp^- kOct • CANABRAl COURCE LET enemy’s front lines.The Algerians watched it approach with a curious fascination, wondering what this greenish-yellow mist might mean, but not fearing it until it enveloped them and they found themselves suddenly choking, suffocating, eyes and lungs burning.Some writhed in agony and died in the bottom of their trenches but most simply threw away their weapons, abandoned their positions and stumbled south towards St.Julien and Ypres.Lt.Col.F.O.W.Loomis was commandant of St.Julien as well as officer commanding the 13th Battalion, and when he saw these disorganized troops fleeing towards him — the Germans following behind virtually unopposed — he realized with sudden horror that the entire flank of the Salient was now unguarded.He quickly ordered two platoons to man the ditch along the Ypres-Poelcappelle road and to pick up whatever Territorial stragglers they could to improvise new lines.From the 13th Battalion, he detached two more companies to cover the culvert of the Lekkerboter-beek with orders to turn whatever Algerian riflemen they could to face the enemy.Loomis also ordered his small garrison into battle positions but these three small and isolated groups of Canadians were virtually the only troops between the 13th Battalion and Ypres to stem an onrushing tide of Germans.DESPERATE FIGHTING The two isolated companies of the 13th at the Lekkerboterbeek culvert fought heroically with rapidly mounting casualties until overwhelmed by superior forces.This allowed the Germans to penetrate behind the lines of the 13th Battalion in the apex of the Salient and attack from three sides.The Canadians had escaped the gas attack but now found themselves outnumbered by at least two-to-one and wrestling with Ross rifles which jammed under the rapid fire.These weapons were excellent for target shooting but no good at all in combat and Canadians screamed and cursed in frustrations while they kicked at jammed bolts with their boots or hammered at them with entrenching tools.The Ypres Salient was saved that evening, not by a spirited defence, but by the unexcepted and overwhelming success of the gas.The Germans were not prepared to take so much ground so quickly.The forward units, having attained their objectives, simply dug in and awaited further orders.They might have taken St.Julien, Ypres and the entire Salient had they just pressed their initial advantage but they hesitated while the Allies scrambled to fill up the holes with units rushed up from the rear.The 10th Canadian Field Battery went into action from the roadside just north of St.Julien to halt the advance with artillery and Lt.Col.Loomis sent 60 infantrymen to protect the battery.Lance-Corporal Frederick Fisher won a Victoria Cross that day by working his machine gun forward from shell-hole to shell-hole under heavy fire and bringing it in action in time to halt a German bid to capture the battery.He was killed next day.A company of the 2nd Buffs (East Kent) were dispatched to help the hard-pressed 13th Battalion, the First Brigade was brought up from reserve and, shortly before dawn.Col.Loomis was able to free two platoons from his St.Julien garrison to also help the 13th.Counter-attacks were mounted that night.Four British guns in Kitchener’s Wood just west of St.Julien had been overrun and captured by the enemy but a determined counterattack by Canadian forces took the guns back before they could be turned on the town.Casualties, however, were heavy, reinforcement impossible and furious rifle fire from Germans on three sides convinced the Canadians to blow up the British artillery shells and withdraw to the scanty new lines hastily being established along the Ypres-Poelcappelle road Eight Battalions there now faced at least 24 battalions of German troops On the night of the 23rd, it was decided to shorten the Salient by pulling the 13th Battalion out of the apex and turning it to face west instead of north linking with the line from St.Julien.They'd barely taken these new positions and were furiously digging in when, at 4 a.m.on April 24th, the Ger mans opened a heavy bombardment on all Canadian positions while at the same time releasing a second gas attack over 1200 yards opposite the 15 and 8th Battalions.SECOND ATTACK Again the greenish-yellow fog rolled forward across the desolation of No Man's Land and again the Germans advanced behind the gas wearing their mouth protectors.Again men chokeu, collapsed, writhed in agony, but they did not break and run.Vagrant breezes made this cloud less effective than the first and the Canadians were able to fight back furiously even with rifles that jammed when they were hot.A German advance from the west against the new positions of the 13th Battalion without the advantage of gas met spirited resistance.But there was no supporting artille ry.The Third Brigade’s guns were out of range, The 13th Battalion found the Germans creeping in behind their lines once more and so the Salient was shrunk still further by ordering the 13th, the 15th and the 8th back to Gra venstafel Ridge where once more they dug trenches.The East Kent Buffs, in the point of the Salient, were cut off before they could retreat but fought on as long as they possibly could The few survivors surrendered shortly before 9 a m.The Germans had been ordered to take St.Julien that day and by 3 p.m had managed to infiltrate the ruined village on three .ides.Col Loomis’s garrison held them off while they made an orderly withdrawal and another Victoria Cross was won that day by Lt.Edward Bellew, machine gun Officer of the 7th Battalion.A1 though wounded, he kept his last ma chine gun firing steadily to cover the withdrawal until he was out of ammunition.Then he fought the Germans off with fixed bayonet until overpowered and captured He was released from a F.O.W.camp in 1919 The battle for the Ypres Salient, begun by the gas attack on April 22nd, went on for two weeks, the Salient shrinking steadily but the enemy paid heavily for every yard of ground it captured.Seven hundred Canadians died in the trenches and fully a third of the First Canadian Division was out of action One of them said of those April days: “We were gassed, we were charged, we were bayoneted and shelled most unmercifully We were blown from out of
