sexually harassed a former employee, Kristina Potapczyk, and has ordered him to pay her $1,500 in compensation.In a decision released today, the tribunal also ordered the 58-year-old MacBain, recently nominated to seek re-election in the Niagara Falls, Ont., constituency he has held since 1980, to refrain from further discriminatory actions.Potapczyk, 29, who began working for MacBain in March 1982, said she was fired April 1983 because she rejected his sexual advances.She later told the Canadian Human Rights Commission he had humiliated and intimidated her by leering, standing needlessly close and making sexual innuendos.The decision by the human rights tribunal concurs with an earlier ruling by the commission.MacBain, a lawyer and former city alderman, refused to appear before the tribunal when it heard the case in Toronto in April and May.Instead, his lawyers filed documents with the Federal Court of Canada challenging the tribunal’s jurisdiction to review the matter.The Federal Court is expected to consider the challenge this fall and if it decides the tribunal has exceeded its jurisdiction, the decision against MacBain will be nullified, said Russell Juriansz, a commission lawyer.Mary Cornish, Potapczyk’s lawyer, told the tribunal MacBain had hired the woman for sex-related purposes, not because he thought she had the ability to be his special assistant.After Potapczyk moved to Ottawa to assume the $19,300-a-year post, Cornish said MacBain adopted a “Je-kyll and Hyde approach,” being alternately abusive and attentive.He neglected to train her for the job, refused to give her responsible work, insulted her and said others were cri- tical of her work, Cornish said, suggesting MacBain was trying to impair her ability to function and thereby make her vulnerable to his advances.However, the three-person tribunal said evidence was insufficient to suggest MacBain had such a master plan for Potapczyk and attributed his "erratic behavior" to a lack of administrative skills in dealing with the three female employees in his Ottawa office.Extra $307million will mean more for job creation says — Turner Hijackers prepare to destroy plane TEHRAN (CP) — The three Arab-speaking hijackers of an Air France jetliner rigged the aircraft with explosives today and were prepared to blow it up after hearing that France had rejected their demands, Tehran radio reported.The report said the pilot of the Boeing 737, Jean Nicol, told Iranian officials by radio the hijackers had set explosives throughout “most parts of the aircraft” and were “ready to blow it up” if their demands were not met.The hijackers had threatened to begin killing French citizens among the 47 hostages this morning if the French government didn’t release five men from France’s jails, but that deadline passed with no one reported harmed.Tehran radio, in a broadcast monitored in London, said the hijackers chose one of the hostages and indicated they were about to execute him but stopped when Iranian officials pleaded with them.Quoting a Foreign Ministry spokesman, the radio said Iranian officials persuaded the hijackers to refrain from killing the hostage by agreeing to have the media publish a communique.The contents of the communique were not immediately given.Iran’s official Islamic republic news agency quoted a French Embassy official in Tehran today as saying “it was not possible” for the French government to release five men from prison on short notice, as the Arabicspeaking hijackers demanded The Iranian agency said the French charges d’affairs in Tehran, Jean Perrin, was summoned to Iran's Foreign Ministry and the hijackers’ demands were reiterated to him With the reported French rejection of the demands, Iran “will not accept any responsibility .if any sad events oc- cur,” the agency said.In Paris, officials at a crisis centre set up at the French Foreign Ministry refused to comment on the Iranian report.France has made no public response to the demands of the hijackers.Agence France-Presse reported that diplomats from seven countries with citizens aboard the hijacked plane met today with Iranian Foreign Ministry officials in an effort to persuade Tehran to intervene and secure the hostages’ release.Conservative Leader Brian Mulro-ney has promised to spend more money on the armed forces while Prime Minister Turner says a review of government spending has turned up some money he plans to spend.Turner was on the West Coast Wednesday; Mulroney on the East Coast and New Democrat Leader Ed Broad-bent was in the middle, campaigning for the Sept.4 vote in Saskatchewan where he was talking about agriculture, listening to farmers and attacking Tories.In Newcastle, N B., Mulroney pledged to add 8,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen to the Canadian Forces in three years and bring back distinct uniforms for the three services.An aide was unable to say later how much the steps would cost.The aide, who briefed reporters on condition that his name not be used, said the armed forces now has about 82,000 personnel.Mulroney said he wants to bring that up to 90,000.Another aide agreed the Tory proposals to expand the forces would pa-

Liberal government to increase defence spending next year by four per cent after inflation, compared to a three per cent increase this year.Mulroney promised a Tory government would maintain its commitment and develop the level of conventional arms needed to protect Canada’s territory.He said the party would begin preparing a policy paper on defence needs, including studies on procurement methods and the role of women in the armed forces.In Vancouver, where Turner is campaigning for his own scat in the Quadra riding and attempting to breathe new life into moribund western Liberals, he said a review of government spending has freed up $307 million for new government priorities, particularly job-creation.FOUND MONEY Turner said he expects more money will become available as the review continues.Broadbent, who was to release his party’s agriculture policy, met with VANCOUVER (CP) — Prime Minister Turner announced Wednesday that a review of government spending has freed up $307 million for new government priorities, particularly job-creation projects.Turner told about 2,000 people at an evening rally in nearby West Vancouver that he expects additional money will become available as the review continues.Details of where the money was found are to be announced in Ottawa today by Finance Minister Marc Lal-nonde and Treasury Board President Herb Gray, added Turner, who declined to elaborate later.Heckled throughout his speech by a man who complained to reporters later that he had organized six demonstrations in Vancouver and only now was the media paying attention to him.Turner also promised Canadians “a fair tax system where all Canadians pay their share.” Both New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent and Progressive Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney have said they favor a minimum tax to catch the thousands of high income earners who currently use loopholes so well they pay not a cent in income tax.However, Turner still did not say whether he favors the idea.Broadbent has proposed a minimum 20 per cent tax on people earning more than $50,000 a year.Asked earlier in the day whether he suppports Broadbent’s proposal, Turner replied, “You know me well enough to know that when I have announcements to make, I make them.” Mulroney endorsed the idea of a minimum tax rate for high-income earners during the televised debates last week among the three party leaders but did not say what he thinks that rate should be.Turner, speaking to reporters on the steps of Vancouver city hall before a noon-hour rally of at least 1,000 people, was more interested in focusing attention on his meeting ,/ith Mayor Mike Harcourt, a New Democrat with whom he said he sees “eye to eye on most issues.” It was the second time in three days he praised a New Democrat.On Monday, he lavished praise on the NDP government of Manitoba for what he called its co-operative and “sensible approach to good government.” PRAISES CITY Turner, with Harcourt at his side, told reporters Vancouver stands to become “a super port, a super city, dealing with the absolutely unlimited prospects of the Pacific.” However, “I guess the closest I came to a promise was to say I would like to help the mayor and the people of Vancouver get a (major league) baseball franchise.” about 25 farm women, many of them NDP supporters, and heard complaints about rising interest rates, decreasing farm incomes, farm bankruptcies, problems in transferring farms to farm children, rural unemployment and the lack of day-care centres for farm families.He told them the party favors a restoration of the Crowsnest Pass freight rate which held down grain transportation costs, changes in the Bank Act to stop foreclosures, universal day c^rp.formation of a national land bank to facilitate the acquisition of land by young farmers and parity in pricing for different farm products.Broadbent also spent some time on the Prairies attacking Tories, who are hungrily eyeing NDP seats there.Likening Mulroney to Bill Bennett, the Social Credit premier of British Columbia, and Grant Devine, Saskatchewan’s Tory premier, Broadbent said Mulroney had given qualified support to Bennett’s tough austerity program.“Grant Devine and Bill Bennett, Harcourt interjected that a good way to start would be by “getting rid of the (federal government’s) sports betting pool,” a thorn in the sides of both the baseball owners and the provinces.Turner replied that Ottawa is negotiating with the provinces to get out of the pool and “we’ll just see what the result will be.” In Ottawa Wednesday, Sports Minister Jean Lapierre was optimistic an agreement will be reached soon with the provinces.“I think we can come up with a deal before the (Sept.4) election.I think we could do it in the first weeks of this month — that’s what we’re aiming at.” On other questions, Turner declined Broadbent’s challenge to a televised debate in British Columbia.Earlier in the campaign, he rejected a proposal by Mulroney to participate in five regional debates across the country but agreed to meet Broadbent and Mulro- OTTAWA (CP) — Sports Minister Jean Lapierre is wasting no time trying to resolve the controversy surrounding the Olympic SportSelect game.“The sooner the better,” he said Wednesday following a federal cabinet meeting.“I think we can come up with a deal before the (Sept.4) election.I think we could do it in thé first weeks of this month — that’s what we’re aiming at.” Just back from watching Canadian athletes win three gold medals, three silvers and a bronze at the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, he was charged up to ensure the $200 million federal commitment to the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary is fully met.He said he had talked with eight of 10 provincial ministers concerned with provincial lotteries and their lottery chairmen in the last two weeks.“Now I’m told Mr.Parizeau is back from holidays and I intend speaking with him this week,” he said, referring to Quebec Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau.STRONG OBJECTIONS And of strong objections Quebec has to a potential provincial buyout of the federal betting game, Lapierre said: “There’s always room to manoeuvre.I think Quebec has legitimate questions like all the others.All the povinces have questions.” Central to the discussions is a letter of intent presented to the federal cabinet in June by Senator Jack Austin of with the support of Brian Mulroney, have been taking their respective provinces backward,” he said.While Broadbent was attacking Tories, Turner was playing up to the NDP.Turner said there was “some merit” in Broadbent’s proposal for a minimum tax rate so high-income earners cannot use loopholes to avoid paying any income tax.NO COMMITMENT But Turner, who declined to answer any questions on the subject a day before, still would not say whether he supports Broadbent’s proposed minimum 20-per-cent tax rate for people earning more than $50,000 annually.During last week’s television debate between the three leaders, Mulroney endorsed the idea of a minimum tax rate but did not say what he thinks that rate should be.Turner also told reporters after a meeting with Vancouver Mayor Mike Harcourt that he sees “eye to eye on most issues” with the NDP mayor.ney in two national televised debates held last week.Turner, who is running in Vancou-ver-Quadra, said the Aug.15 debate organized by the National Action Committee on the Status of Women is the only other one he plans.The high point of the day was clearly a short noon-hour rally in a downtown square in front of the Vancouver art gallery.More than 1,000 people turned up for the prime minister’s pitch for B.C.seats for himself and other Liberals, including party president Iona Cam-pagnolo, who is running in North Van-couver-Burnaby and who joined him on the stage in front of a large maple leaf flag fashioned out of red and white balloons.Turner, recalling billboards when he graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1949 which boasted that “B.C.has men to match your mountains,” said the country can restore that optimistic outlook and return to prosperity by electing him.British Columbia and Ontario Recreation Minister Reuben Baetz.The letter proposed that the provincial lottery corporations give Ottawa $100 million specifically directed toward the Calgary Games, resume paying about $35 million a year under a 1979 agreement giving the provinces exclusive jurisdiction over lotteries and, after the 1988 Games, start paying Ottawa three per cent of gross provincial lottery earnings through the year 2000.In return, Ottawa would guarantee not to operate any lotteries or pools intended to raise funds for special projects through the year 2000.The provinces and their lottery corporations would drop all law suits pending against the federal government and the Canadian Sports Pool Corp.Mulroney pledges more money for military PCs, Libs: Is there any difference?TORONTO (CP) — A Gallup poll indicates 46 per cent of respondents think there is no “really important difference” between the federal Liberals and Conservatives while 45 per cent think there is a difference.In contrast, more than 60 per cent say they see a difference between the New Democratic Party and the Liberals, and the NDP and the Tories.The figures are based on a survey of 1,057 adults across Canada taken in late June after the Liberal leadership convention.There was no immediate indication whether the interviews were in person or by telephone.Gallup says a sample of this size should not err by more than four percentage points either way in 19 cases out of 20.In the 20th case, the margin of error may be even greater The last time Gallup asked this question, in the summer of 1974, the public saw differences between the Liberals and Tories as more distinct.About 53 per cent indicated there was a real difference between them while 32 per cent said there was not.At that time Pierre Trudeau was prime minister and Robert Stanfield was Conservative leader.One of NDP Leader Ed Broadbent’s campaign themes has been that Prime Minister Turner and Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney are as alike as the “Bobbsey Twins" or as “Visa and Mastercard.” Lapierre wants lottery problem solved by Sept. 2—The RECORD—Thursday, August 2, 19H4 Hormone theft worse than originally believed: 714 bottles missing MONTREAL (CP) — Authorities said Wednesday that a theft of precious growth hormones from the Montreal Children’s Hospital was more serious than originally thought.After taking inventory, they said the number of stolen bottles now stands at 714, up from the more than 400 initially reported.And the theft may cheat 25 young patterns of treatment they need to achieve their full growth potential.One of them, Chanelle de Gourville, 5, is already about three years behind in her growth.Lacking in growth hormone, she is 40 inches tall, about four inches below average.Without periodic injections of the hormone somatropin, she would be even smaller today.The treatments have helped her grow about eight inches over the past three years.Dr.Harvey Guyda, head of the hospital's endocrinology department and one of 20 physicians administering the treatment in Canada, said there is a possibility his patients will go without the hormone for an entireyear, and at best they ‘‘might receive less than optimal treatment for the next year.” Patients are usually diagnosed before Grade 1 and continue to get the treatment until they reach normal adult height.The hormone helps them grow by as much as three inches a year.While the commercial value of the stolen hormones isonly$150,000, the hospital does not have the money to replace them.And the material is extremely difficult to replace.Two boxes containing the bottles were taken from a cold storage area at the hospital on Monday.The city’s other children's hospital, Ste-Justine’s, has already exhausted its supply and expects another batch in the fall.SUPPLY LIMITED The fluid is manufactured commercially by only two companies in the world.The Montreal Children’s supply came from a Winnipeg laboratory which produces itforthe Medical Research Council of Canada.Quantities are produced well in advance becauseit takes at least four months to extract and purify.Dr.Henry Friesen, a psychologist at the University of Manitoba who heads the research council program, isn’t sure the stolen hormones can be replaced.The hormone originates from the human pituitary gland which secretes it beneath the brain; it can only be extracted after death.Between 15,000 and 17,000 pituitary glands are needed to produce the quantitiesrequired for the treatment of about 450 Canadian children.Most of theglands come from people who will their organs to science.Guyda said he suspects the hormone was stolen by someone with access to the black market in the United States.The hormone has been used with anabolic steroids to improve muscle growth of body building athletes, although its unsupervised use can be dangerous, said the Montreal Children’s Dr.Constantine Polychro-nakos.He ruled out the possibility of athletes using the stolen material for the current Olympic Games because it must be applied for several weeks before its effects are felt.Det.Sgt.Jacques Audette of the Montreal police said investigators are looking for a suspect.“We’re checking out thegyms, but this stuff won’t be sold over the counter.It will be sold on the black market.“You’d have to be pretty criminal to buy the hormones knowing that they’re needed by small children," Audette added.“In that respect, we’re counting on the support of the public.” Release of five comrades hijackers main demand Continued from page 1 The hijackers aboard the Boeing 737 had threatened to kill one French passenger each hour if their demands were not met by 9 a m.today (1:30 a.m.EDT).But the deadline passed with negotiations continuing, and none of the 47 hostages remaining on board was reported harmed.AFP quoted Tehran radio as saying the hijackers asked for water and ice cubes which were supplied.AFP also said Tehran radio reported soon after the deadline expired that the oldest of the remaining passengers aboard the plane said all are in good health.The radio said the 54-year-old Lebanese, who was not iden- tified, was allowed to communicate with the airport tower with the approval of the hijackers.The Iranian agency, citing updated reports from Mehrabad Airport, said Iranian Foreign Ministry officials “are keeping up their efforts to stall for more time for the French government in order to save lives of the passengers.” “We are still negotiating and we have hopes,” one Iranian official said.“But it is not certain what will happen.” He said release of five men imprisoned in France was “one of their main demands,” but did not elaborate on what the other conditions were.Massacre victim’s family sues McDonald’s, Bell SAN DIEGO (AP) — A $2.5-million wrongful death suit has been filed on behalf of two children whose mother was among those killed in the July 18 massacre at a McDonald’s restaurant in nearby San Ysidro.The legal action Tuesday was the first suit filed after the shooting rampage, which left 22 people dead, including the gunman, James Oliver Hu-berty.Lawyer James Frantz prepared the suit on behalf of Christian Toscano Lopez and Jose German Toscano Lopez.The children’s mother, Gloria Lo-pez-Gonzalez, 24, of Rosarito, Mexico, was on a shopping excursion in the southern San Diego community of San Ysidro when she stopped at the McDonald's for a bite to eat.She was killed when Huberty walked into the restaurant and opened fire on diners, employees and bystanders.Huberty, a 41-year-old unemployed security guard, was slain by a police sharpshooter.DEFENDANTS NAMED Huberty’s estate, McDonald’s Corp., franchise holder Robert Colvin and Pacific Bell telephone company were named as defendants.Frantz said a third son of the victim, Juan Francisco Munoz Lopez, didn’t take part in the suit because unlike his brothers he isn’t represented by a legal guardian and was unable to give his consent.The suit alleged that Colvin and McDonald's failed to warn customers about the risks of eating in an establishment in what Frantz described as a high-crime area.Pacific Bell was included because one of its information operators allegedly gave the wrong address when reporting the shooting to police, resulting in “an unreasonable risk of injury or death by delaying rescue and treatment,” according to the suit.Miners use wire barracade to defend union assets PONTYPRIDD, Wales (Reuter) — Striking miners have barricaded themselves behind barbed wire in their union’s South Wales headquarters to stop any attempt to seize assets to cover an unpaid $66,000 fine.Their action Wednesday followed the first direct challenge to the courts in a 21-week-old coal dispute when the branch refused to pay a high court fine imposed Monday for a breach of an injunction against picketing.Four partners in the London accounting firm of Price Waterhouse have been appointed commissioners Weather Sunny today with a high of 24.Outlook for Friday — sunny with cloudy periods and a chance of an isolated shower late in the day.of sequestration.But legal experts say they are unlikely to charge bodily through the barricades and seize desks and chairs.The normal procedure would be to ora the union’s bankers to hand over National Union of Mineworkers branch funds, estimated at $4 million.“Nobody is going to turn up in an armored car, or anything like that,” a high court official in London said.CHALLENGES LAW By refusing to pay the fine, the South Wales branch is challenging labor legislation designed to outlaw mass picketing that was introduced by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government.The original action against the miners was brought by two private trucking firms employed to break the strike by transferring coke between two South Wales steelworks.The main employers hit by the dispute — the state-run coal, steel and electricity boards — have taken no court action to curb mass picketing.—____ftgl racara George MacLaren, Publisher Charles Bury, Editor Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager Mark Guillette, Press Superintendent

Wednesday looking for chemicals buried 12 years ago.The chemicals, packed in glass bottles stored inside three cardboard boxes, are not considered dangerous even though their exact composition remains unknown.“There’s no really hazardous material that we re aware of,” said Robert Pallen, a Concordia chemistry professor.“But there are certain chemicals in your home that would create a hazardous

isolated mountaintop ranch, Reagan was asked Wednesday what he could do to lure the Soviets to the bargaining table to discuss antisatellite weapons.Standing outside his relatively modest, white adobe home, the president paused for a moment before answering.His wife, Nancy, standing at his side, gazed downward and mumbled softly, “Doing everything we can.” Reagan quickly replied, “We’re doing everything we can.” Official wants official dirt COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An agronomist is tired of having people in the Buckeye state look down on dirt and is pushing a plan to have the General Assembly designate an official soil, right up there with the state bird, tree, insect and fossil.“Although Ohio is thought of as an industrial state, agriculture is still the backbone of its economy, and this is an attempt to point how important soil is as a natural resource,” said Neil Smeck, an agronomy professor at Ohio State University.If Smeck has his way a kind of dirt known as Miamian soil — or more commonly Ohio clay — would join the carnation, cardinal.Buckeye tree, flint, ladybug and tomato juice on the list of official state symbols.Where did he put his brain?PORTSMOUTH, Va.(AP) — When lawyer James C.Hawks’s car was missing from his parking space last week he reported it stolen.Now he wishes it really had been.The police department began its investigation.Hawks’s insurance company provided him with a rental car.“I kept expecting it to turn up,” Hawks said of his 1977 Mercury Cougar.It did.Wednesday afternoon, as Hawks was driving his rental car, he found someone else had parked in his parking spot.So he pulled the rental car around the comer to the city municipal lot.“I pulled in right beside my car,” he said.“Suddenly it all came back to me.” Hawks said he had parked his car in

RECORD—Thursday, August ^ 19H4-3 tkc< #¦___rai icecara Vermont family, farm animals sick following CNR illegal spraying r ^ By Robert Palmer NORTON, Vt.— A woman here who says she was poisoned by chemicals used by CN Rail during an illegal spraying operation on a 50-kilometre stretch of track July 21 is suffering from contact dermatitis and has been advised to refrain from using her water supply for any purpose — even the family laundry.And the illegal CN spraying has contaminated a Canadian waterway which flows from one edge of the Eastern Townships to the other.Brigitte Graham, who lives with her three daughters and husband in this tiny community of 250 a few miles south of the border, refused to be quoted in the newspaper on the advice of her lawyer John Hall.She fears publicity of her own comments may in some way hurt current negotiations among Hall, the Vermont departments of health and agriculture, and CN Rail.The Grahams’ 35-acre property is split down the middle by the CN-Central Vermont right-of-way, their house and barn separated by a small, unmarked crossing Both buildings are within 100 feet of the tracks.They had been sprayed before the July 21 incident but Mrs.Graham wouldn’t say how often and Hall, a lawyer with Vermont Legal Aid in St.Johnsbury, wasn’t certain.According to Hall, the unhealthy situation arose earlier this spring when the Grahams started seeing health problems in their farm animals.In early June, a sheep developed heavy breathing, a fever and severe convulsions.A veterinarian was called but could not control the convulsions and the animal had to be killed.Hall says other animals developed soon developed the same symptoms and the vet, on a hunch, tested and treated them for organic phosphate poisoning.The animals’ health improved.PHYSICIAN ALERTED The Grahams called Hall for the first time in mid-June and he called the vet, and later the Vermont Department of Agriculture.While this was g mg on, the Graham’s Own physician was alerted to health problems within the family.“The Graham’s family physician called me and said he had found Mrs.Graham to be suffering from contact dermatitis, which we believe was possibly environmentally induced.” Hall said the doctor’s diagnosis of the blisters on Mrs.Graham’s hands and feet was reached with the aid of a dermatology specialist from Mary Hitchcock University in Dartmouth, New Hampshire.In addition to Mrs.Graham’s condi- milROW.RI PAI.MKK Brigitte Graham’s skin condition was diagnosed as contact dermatitis, which her lawyer believes may have been caused by the spraying.The leaf, speckled with spots of white powder, is off a tree beside her house.tion, one of her daughters has recently suffered a recurring high fever, vomiting and bleeding in her urine.Hall called the state back and asked for a more serious look at what was happening at the Graham property.The July 21 spraying.Hall says, was done without a permit.CN Rail had earlier applied for a permit to spray a 25-kilometre stretch of track between Bloomfield and Island Pond.While still waiting for the permit to be approved, the railway company’s contractor went ahead and sprayed not only that section, but a further stretch 16 miles north to Norton.Hall says the state has filed an enforcement proceeding against CN Rail for violating permit regulations.Initial water, soil and plant tests have been done on samples from around the property and both the state and an independent laboratory have confirmed the presence of three chemicals: Bromacil, Diuron and Atrazine.According to Hall, those are the three main chemical compounds in the spray used by CN Rail.TABLE SALT Canadian National maintains it was assured by the manufacturer the spray used was harmless.One local resident said he was told by a foreman “the stuff we used is no more harmful than the salt on your table.” However Mrs.Graham, who spends a lot of RECORD/ROBERT PALMER This sign

10 miles away for both her family and the animals.“We are concerned about a health risk for all members of the Graham household,” Hall says.“There is a severity significant enough to cause the doctors and myself to ask the Grahams to refrain from using their water supply for any purpose.” Hall says the water supply is the most immediate problem and he and the state departments involved are negotiating with CN Rail to find a solution.He says if that doesn’t work, legal action will be taken.Pouliots moved to Quebec’s Orsainville jail SHERBROOKE — The four Pouliot brothers and their father have been moved out of Winter Street jail and sent to await trial at Orsainville prison near Quebec City.The ancient Sherbrooke jail is overcrowded, say its keepers, and has no room for the notorious Compton Station family.Ronald and Mario Pouliot have finished their preliminary hearings and await trial in the deaths of Gaston Scalabrini, France Michaud, Rénaud Paquette and Jean-Pierre Truchon, all of Coaticook.They are charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, illegal detention, illegal use of a firearm and complicity after the fact in all four deaths.The four victims were shot to death after the three males had been savagely beaten June 25.Their bodies were found dumped in a deep ravine the same day.Police say they were murdered by the two accused, aided by their father, two brothers and a friend.AWAIT COURT DATE Brother Marc Pouliot is accused of kidnapping, illegal detention and illegal use of a firearm.With Ronald and Mario, he will find out in court Sept.10 the date of his jury trial.Brother Serge and father Jean-Luc Pouliot await their preliminary hearing Sept.12.Serge is charged with murder, both face accusations of kidnapping, illegal detention, attempted murder and illegal use of a firearm.A sixth accused, André Maheu, will remain in the Sherbrooke jail.Expected to be an important prosecution witness against the others, he has been kept separated from them.Ex-MSA president evicted by farm credit office Marcel Talbot.ted by credit office Ê>» First farmer evic- ST-CYR1LLE DE BAGOT — The former president of the Québec Farm Survival Movement has become the first farmer in the province to be expelled by the Québec Office du credit agricole.A sheriff, five carloads of policemen and two moving vans roared up to the farm of Marcel Talbot early Wednesday to evict the bankrupt farmer and his family.The eviction was ordered by the Quebec farm credit bureau, the first time it has ordered a farmer evicted, although the federal farm credit bureau seized a Quebec farm last October.As well, several farmers were evicted in Québec in 1982 and ’83 by banks and caisses populaires, in connection with loans approved by the federa-land provincial agencies.Although he had been told months ago to leave, Talbot, 46, did not be- lieve the bureau would follow through on its threat.Talbot, former president of the activist movement (MSA), says the credit bureau wants to make an example of him for other farmers in the same situation.He quit his job at a General Motors assembly plant near Montreal in 1977 to buy a farm near his hometown.Encouraged by the province to go into beef production, he says he invested all his savings and borrowed several hundred thousand dollars from the farm credit bureau.MARKET DISINTEGRATED When the bottom fell out of the beef market and prices fell, he declared bankruptcy for $100,000 in 1982 and his land was seized by the credit bureau.The bankruptcy proceedings were completed a few weeks ago, and he hoped to buy back his land, or at least get some time to work out a refinan- Townships talk SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — Louis Jourde nais, 61, of Cowansville, was deemed apt to be able to

in a good humor in the hours and minutes before he died.Police say these two facts lead them to conclude the man did not attempt to take his Ufe deliberately.As well, they say his single room was not

won’t get to vote.Unless.Hy Peter Scowen TOWN OF BHOME LAKE - Don’t try and tell Betty Mulllins she's got it easy.As the federal chief returning officer for Brome-Missisquoi she is faced with one of the shortest election campaigns in recent memory in a riding made up of big towns and remote farmhouses where the voters speak both English and French.And her son got married last Saturday.‘it's what I call a pressure job," Mullins said Wednesday.Mullins can handle the pressure, though This is her third election as chief returing officer in the riding she was born in.Before that she worked as an election clerk for her predecessor.Her job description is to “set up the election in Brome-Missisquoi".It involves hiring and swearing-in advance pollers, revision agents — who work for a reviser named by a judge — and deputy returning officers.She does the same for the candidates, and collects their $200 deposit.284 ENUMERATORS Mullins also has to organize 284 enumerators — 174 picked by the candidates running for the parties which cw\e first second in the previous elec-timi to work in urban polls, and 112 picked by her to cover rural polls.There are 198 polls in Brome-Missisquoi.Enumeration is the biggest problem of the election, Mullins says.The candidates had until Friday, July 20 to name their enumerators.One week later the seven-day enumeration period began.T had to contact them, train them and give them their stuff for the next Friday,” said Mullins.The next day her o'dest son, who graduated from Bishop’s University along with two other Mullins offspring, was married in Ste.Marguerite Station."If you don't think my life has been hell.she said.Mullins also has a daughter in her second year at Bishop's.Her husband is a retired civil servant.It isn’t too much of a problem for Mullins to find people willing to do the enumerating Many of those who sign up for the job have done it in previous elections.EXPERIENCED CREW “Some of them have been doing it forever,” she said.“There is nothing like a good enumerator who knows her territory." Mullins said the majority of the enumerators are women because they are more available during the day when the door-to-door voter roundup is usually done.The riding presents a few singular twists, however.Brome-Missisquoi is a large territory with a relatively small number of voters — around 50,000.It is a ‘mixed riding' with rural and urban polls where the rules for getting on the voters’ list are different.In an urban poll the voters must be on the final list, which closes August 17.If they aren’t they cannot vote.Mullins has to work hard making sure everybody, including people on vacation or working in another part of the country, know how to get on the list.RURAL RULES RELAXED In the rural polls the rules are relaxed because it can be harder to get to all the remote farms and homes set away from urban centres.Voters in these ridings can get on the list on election day as long as someone else on the list will vouch for them.And the riding is bilingual.Service has to be provided in both Canada’s official languages, which Mullins speaks fluently.“Having a mixed and bilingual riding I have to do everything four times,” Mullins said.The short election — 53 days in this case — doesn’t help either."I would like to have more time to enumerate," she said."The biggest hassle is getting enumerators on the road in time." Mullins also has to hire and pay the workers who attach address stickers to enumeration notices for mailing and do the other clerical tasks in her office in Knowlton.She has one fulltime helper — Collete Gaudreau of Magog.Some days there are 15 people working in the office, which is in Mullins home town."It depends on what stage of the election you’re at.” A BUSY NIGHT On election night the office will be full of journalists taking poll-by-poll results as they are phoned in.The official count, however, doesn’t come until three days later when the ballot boxes have all been collected.Once she has all the boxes in front of her, Mullins takes the official statement form out of them and enters them on big sheets to be sent to Ottawa.The deputy returning officer is the only person allowed to actually touch the ballots, which she or he does election night at the poll in the presence of agents representing each party.Only a judge can recount the vote, but that rarely happens in Brome-Missisquoi, Mullins said.Even the official count can have its problems.Mullins remembers one time a deputy returning officer sent in a ballot box with a padlock on it instead of the usual wire seal.“When I asked her where the key was she said ‘ I put it in the box.’,” Mullins recalled.“It’s unbelieveable but true.We had to get a guy come in and cut it off with a hacksaw.” NOT AMUSED As the chief returning officer Mullins faces a situation which to some people might seem as funny as the padlock story but doesn't amuse Mullins at all.Mullins can’t vote because of her position.Except.Except if there is a tie declared after a judicial recount.Then Mullins would be obliged to cast the deciding ballot.“1 would probably die," she said, thinking about the burden of such a responsibility."But I don’t fear for my life.It will never happen." If it did Mullins isn’t sure how she would vote.She insists she is completely neutral.“I am under no obligation to any party," she said.A chief returning officer usually gets the job after being suggested to the Privy Council (cabinet) by the party in power in the riding where he or she would work.Mullins said in her case she replaced her predecessor who retired just before the 1979 election.Despite all the pressures, Mullins is happy at her job.She can spend nearly five years waiting unpaid for an election before she is sprung back into action.Once an election is called she is well-renumerated for the work she does — between five and ten thousand dollars depending on the number of names on the preliminary voters list.“I do it because I like it,” said Mullins.“There’s always pressure but I like it.” There is really nothing she would change in the way things are done, besides being given more time to enumerate.And she is successful at her job.Over 75 per cent of registered voters cast a ballot in the 1980 election, easliy more than the national average.Mullins said Wednesday Brome-Missisquoi is once again set to elect a member of Parliament.“It has to be ready election day.That’s all there is to it.’” Betty Mullins.A pressure job with little time.Brome-Missisquoi NDP-er to hit the trail evenings and weekends Gordon Hamilton.More representative of people than other candidates njim By Peter Scowen TOWN OF BROME LAKE — A fourth candidate has put down $200 and is ready to fight for the riding of Brome-Missisquoi in the September 4 election.And even though he comes from Montreal, was chosen by party headquarters and is running in a riding where fewer than 10 people carry his party’s card, Gordon Hamilton insists he’s no token candidate.“I’m very serious about being a member of Parliament,” Hamilton said Wednesday after officially becoming the New Democratic Party candidate in Brome-Missisquoi.Hamilton, a 28-year-old spare-parts “analyst” at Canadair, lives full-time in Montreal but has a cabin in Austin and spent his summers there with his family when he was young The five-year NDP member says he asked to run in Brome-Missisquoi.“There’s a good possibility here,” he said.“In the last election we had no real campaign and got four per cent of the vote.” THREE PER CENT The NDP actually took three per cent of the vote in Brome-Missisquoi in 1980(1508 votes out of 37,947).In 1979 they took two per cent.Hamilton’s goal is to double the last election’s total NDP voté for the riding by coming down from the city in the evenings and on the weekends and “mainstreeting”.“I am much more representative of the people here than the other candidates,” Hamilton said.“And I am a young person.I would have to prove myself — I am very serious about that.” Hamilton says he isn’t quite bilingual but can talk and understand French without too much problem on a one-to-one basis.Like his party leader Ed Broad-bent, Hamilton is stressing his ‘ordinary people’ image in the election and plans to spend his campaign in the streets, handing out pamphlets supplied from Montreal.SPARE-CHANGE CAMPAIGN Aside from the pamphlets, however, Hamilton is campaigning out of his own pocket, and doesn’t have the funds the Liberal or Tory candidates in the riding have at their disposal.“I don’t expect to run a very expensive campaign.” “A victory would be to double the vote,” he said.That modest goal, which won’t even get Hamilton his $200 deposit back, is part of a larger NDP strategy in Quebec whereby the party wants simply to get a foot in the province’s door, according to Shaun Lynch, party organizer in the Eastern Townships.“The idea is to establish a permanent NDP presence in the Eastern Townships,” said Lynch, a Bishop’s University graduate now working full-time at the NDP’s provincial headquarters in Montreal.NO NDP ASSOCIATIONS None of the six ridings in the region even have an NDP party association, even though the candidate in Sherbrooke came second in 1980, edging his Tory opponent by less than one per cent of the total vote.But NDP organizers like Lynch feel the party can make solid gains in this election if they just get out on the road and campaign.“We came in second in 36 ridings in Quebec in the last election,” he said.“In most cases it was in ridings with no serious organization.That tells us there is a solid NDP base out there.” The party has already selected can- didates in four of the Townships ridings.There are never nomination conventions —- the candidate is either named by headquarters or the members in a given riding are asked to chose one informally.FIVE TO TEN CALLS Aside from Hamilton, who phoned every NDP member in Brome-Missisquoi after being named the candidate there (five to ten phone calls), there is Harriette Schleiffer in Rich-mond-Wolfe, Denis Boissé in Shefford and Jean-Pierre Walsh in Megantic-Compton-Stanstead.All three live in the region.Lynch said Daniel Berthold, like Walsh a College de Sherbrooke philosophy teacher, will most likely be named the NDP candidate in Sherbrooke.The NDP’s favorite to win a seat in Quebec in the Sept.4 election is provincial party president John Harney.He is running in the riding of Lévis, near Quebec City.In 1980, Daniel Vachon, the NDP candidate in Lévis finished a solid second with 8.7 per cent of the vote.The Liberal winner, Raynald-Joseph-Albert Guay, took 47.6 per cent.We grew up with our imaginations fired Sixty-five years ago when every respectable person in our town went to church and church was twice every Sunday plus Tuesday night Young People’s and Thursday night prayer meeting, the Protestants had five churches to choose from.And it seems to me now that for each of these faiths the chief source of its zeal was contention.In one terribly important matter, however, every Protestant worthy of the name was wholeheartedly agreed.Whatever the cost, true Christianity must be defended against the Catholics.There was only one Catholic church in our village of 1,000 souls, but it was by far the largest.We youngsters weren’t exactly clear on the theology involved; but as I recall our holy war now, it seems to me that it was based on the uns-hakeable conviction that, quite apart from the fact that they actually had idols in their church and were so utterly worldly that even the Anglicans seemed saints by comparison, the Catholics had a none-too-secret ambition to dominate the world.Our eternal vigilance was the price of safety.So it was that we grew up with our imaginations fired by lurid tales of how the Catholics were already storing away piles of ammunition in church basements all over the country, just waiting for that great day when the Pope would make his bid for world domination.And just to make sure that our waiting for that fateful hour didn’t get too boring, on every Twelfth of July we had a great celebration on the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne where James II, the last of England’s Catholic kings, was defeated by Protestant forces led by William of Orange.For the older people, this celebration took the form of a gala parade down Main Street with a reincarnated William astride a white horse “King Billy,” we used to call him.And he would be followed by fife and drum bands and a long parade of people dressed in white carrying orange and purple banners.Many of these marchers rarely saw the inside of any church but that didn't deter them at all from becoming beligerently devout on the Glorious Twelfth Some years ago in my novel The Praying Mantis I described a particular Orange parade which made a decided impression upon me.because H.Gordon, Green that was the year our village reeve was king for the day.And since the horse which King Billie rode in all the pictures was a fiery giant who looked quite as regal as his rider, it seemed only fitting that one of the white stallions in the livery stable be given the proud assignment of leading the procession that year.The reeve was fat, red-faced and very pompous, but he began to lose some of that pomposity when it became painfully apparent that the whiter stallion didn’t have his mind on his business at all.It was soon discovered that the reason for the stallion's shockingly shameful behaviour was a scrawny little mare which some pagan Irish lads from up Kenilworth way had tied up to one of the hitching posts in front of the hotel.What the crowd never suspected, but what the stallion knew from the moment he got wind of her, was that the miserable little mare was in heat.In spite of the unceremonious way our King Billie reeve sawed on the bit and insisted that he “whoa ”, the stallion suddenly broke into a delighted gallop as he got within range of the hotel, and nobody, not even the invincible King Billie 1, could have stopped him.Once the stallion hove alongside, the mare carried out her masters’ wishes to the last detail.She spread her hind legs, piddled in the dust, switched her tail furiously, backed as close to the frenzied stallion as her tie-rope would allow, winked her twitch at him, and when that still didn’t induce the desired result, she piddled again.The reeve had lost all control now, both of himself and his steed, and in a thundering voice he was calling the plunging, screaming stallion some very dramatic names.“Are them there names in his pedigree?” an Irish tinted voice asked from the crowd And it wasn’t ’til then, I think, that we Protestants became aware of the flaming truth of the matter.This mare had been brought to town with malice aforethought.The whole thing had been carefully planned and there was no doubt as to who was guilty.Only the Irish could possess such a filthy, perverted sense of humor.A Donnybrook would have broken out then and there if the hotel-keeper, an Irishman himself in spite of his discretion, hadn’t appeared on the scene and ordered the ardent little mare towed around back to the stable Too bad that sort of piety is pretty well behind us now I am told that at the last big Orange celebration held in the old hometown the village priest turned out for the fun too, and that after the parade and the speeches he was drafted to umpire the ball game.Sad proof really of how dangerously low the fires of faith are flickering today, even in a small Ontario town — proof that in spite of the America-Back-to-God people and the mil-lion-dollar-a-week assembly line restorations of the old-time religion, and all the other movements so prayerfully determined to bring back the faith of our fathers, the Devil is sowing more doubt than ever in our minds.For we have to be much more certain of our belief than we are today before we can hope to enjoy righteous hate as much as our fathers did.Arthritis can he controlled.Come and pick your own raspberries at LA FRAMBOISIÈRE DE L’ESTRIE enr.(FERME DES MÉLÈZES) i (Sherbrooke Lennoxville 17 acres of raspberry plant Open daily from 8 h 00 a

in Tuesday’s paper on the Turner bum-patting incident reflect an all-too-common attitude.He wrote a ludicrous article with the intent of showing how silly it is to give the incident so much attention, but instead succeeded only in showing his ignorance of women’s issues and the significance of the bum-patting.In his “history of the bum-pat”, Lawrence does not even acknowledge the fact that pats on the derrière are ever received in a sexual context.Let’s face it, football and parental pats aside, such behavior is most often sexual.Certainly, as Turner said himself, he meant no harm by the gesture.But it was a gesture that shows condescension, lack of respect, lack of courtesy and ignorance of women’s issues.It is evident he doesn’t understand women’s issues, nor was he aware of the fact that such gestures will cost him votes.A prime-minister should be on the ball enough to know you do not do such a thing when already on shaky ground and when women make up over half of the voters.Very likely Turner didn’t think twice before he patted — and that’s the problem.If he had meant the gesture as a sexual advance we could forgive it.As he said himself, he “meant nothing by it”.There lies the offense.It was an automatic action — one he sees as acceptable, one that reflects an inherent attitute and one that society has told him is alright.It is an act of superiority that shows that Turner is stuck back in 1955 — when such actions were not questioned, when women’s issues were not issues at all.Many think the incident has been blown out of proportion — probably because it is not such an uncommon practice.The reverse practice is not common however, and certainly would receive a lot of attention.Imagine if, for example, Geraldine Ferraro was caught patting the backside of Walter Mondale.Such an incident too would receive a lot of publicity, but of a very different kind.It would clearly be seen in a sexual context: comments would range from jokes that she is “hot to trot” to the assumption that she and Mondale are having an affair and that’s how she got her position anyway.Lawrence says there are far more important things to worry about — such as the economy and unemployment — than Turner’s bumble.But just because there are important economic issues at stake does that mean we should compromise our standards and ignore such things as common courtesy and respect?Should we ignore the fact that Turner shows such a lack of awareness of the issues that he’d think nothing of such an action?How many other issues is he out of touch with?Someone like Pierre Trudeau, who certainly has his own faults, had enough class as prime minister that he would never make such a gesture.Although the bum-patting incident may not rank up there with climbing interest rates and the falling dollar, it shows a lack of awareness, courtesy and class that Canadians should reject.LOUISE LEGER Highway work uncovers a wealth of history BANFF, Alta.(CP) — The remains of a 10,000-year-old campfire and the activity that surrounded it are being revealed and studied by a team of Parks Canada archeologists.The site, about five kilometres west of the Banff town-site, was discovered last summer during a routine archeological survey along the right-of-way for a Trans-Canada Highway twinning project.The archeologists concentrated on an area where a few remains from prehistoric stone tools were found and a test excavation uncovered layer upon layer of evidence of human activity.A musket ball was found near the surface, layers of artifacts in the middle and a hearth with the bones of butchered animals at the base of the pit, about two metres down.Parks Canada archeologist Daryl Fedje said considerable evidence of prehistoric hunting and food gathering on the shores of the Vermilion Lakes has been preserved by a series of rock and mud slides.“The preservation has been good in the older levels, where the slides have encapsulated the land surfaces of each, which provides a window to specific time periods," Fedje said.THROWING STICKS The site, first excavated last fall, has yielded artifacts that include spear points, atlatl points — points from darts hurled with throwing sticks — arrowheads, stone tools used for working hides and butchering animals and animal remains.Fedje said the people who lived in the area 10,000 or more years ago were hunters and gatherers.“The site appears to be one of the few that has a great deal of potential for showing how these mountain people lived and coped with their environment A site with artifacts so well preserved and stratified is unique in this part of the country.” Carbon dating has established the age of the site at 10.000 to 11.000 years, ma king it one of the oldest sites of occupation in Canada south of the Old Crow Basin in the Yukon.A modification in the highway routine has been agreed upon to avoid infringing on the site.Granny Campagnolo: Party first, self second By Daphne Bramham NORTH VANCOUVER (CP) — She is a rare breed of politician, a woman widely known just by her first name — Iona.Her Liberal campaign buttons for the federal riding of North Vancouver-Burnaby have only those four letters in red over a pale red maple leaf.Her signs say simply, Iona.What has Iona Campagnolo done to achieve this recognition?The bare facts of her political career don't seem to explain the phenomenon.Eight years ago, she was appointed minister of state for fitness and health.In 1979, she was defeated by New Democrat Jim Fulton in the northwestern British Columbia constituency of Skeena and dropped out of public life until 20 months ago when she was elected Liberal party president.It’s not exactly the meteoric rise of a superstar Yet polls conducted during the Liberal leadership campaign showed Campagnolo’s popularity close to John Turner’s even though he was running and she wasn’t.She and Prime Minister Turner, who is also seeking a seat in Vancouver, are called the Liberals' glamor candidates for the Sept.4 federal election — a label she dismisses as “an interesting perception” since both are in their 50s."I'm a grandmother," she adds with a laugh HAS WORKED HARD Campagnolo says she’s worked hard to achieve her stature.As president, she criss-crossed the country rebuilding the party, promoting reform and raising money.Her dividends came during the Liberal leadership race when she presided over the convention, reading rules and often treating delegates like so many naughty children in front of a national television audience.But she bears the scars of her hard work The skilfully applied makeup doesn’t quite hide the dark circles under her eyes and a tearing cough is the remnant of the pneumonia she suffered during her presidency.“I’m a great big target,” she says."My head is way above the trees and easily able to be shot at.It’s rather a pleasure for me to know I’m so dangerous that they have to use so many tactics against me." After announcing her intention to seek the Liberal nomination, Campagnolo was surrounded and jostled by "tiny Tories" who called themselves “Grit Busters." She is also dogged by anti-abortion groups like Campaign Life, who oppose her position that women should be allowed a choice.Campagnolo says there’s another reason she’s well known she’s a woman wanting power “We're still in an age where women who seek power are thought to be dangerous.There’s an aspect of some of that in this campaign directed against me because people fear women in power." Campagnolo’s power base is a carefully nurtured network within the party's women’s commission and through the women's networks that have sprung up across the country offering moral support, wine and cheese to mostly young, professional women But she says there have been sacrifices.“It's very hard to have any kind of regular life in politics.It’s all-consuming."It’s easier for men because society accepts more easily that they have a home but they can come and go as they will." Says Campagnolo, who is divorced."I'm often surprised by people who seem to think that I'm just all alone.I have a family, I have two brothers, a sister and a mother and a father.You need a human place to restore your batteries and to feel comfortable." GUARDS PRIVACY Yet Campagnolo consciously keeps her personal life separate from her public life to protect her two daughters — Jan, 31, who is married and the mother of Campa- gnolo's granddaughter, and Jenny, 25, a graduate student.Campagnolo says campaigning is “softer work" than the presidency — although she still starts her days just after 6 a m., when people from the East start phoning her, and walks eight kilometres daily to keep in shape.She has already given campaign speeches in 13 ridings in Eastern Canada and may do some more But she's not running because it's an easier job, nor because of the glamor."I think I've had all of the excitement and glory that anyone could rightfully want.I used to feel that way, but I don’t much any more.1 look on it as work that has to be completed well." Before Pierre Trudeau completed his term as prime minister, Campagnolo says she was offered a choice of appointments."If I had taken it, quietly folded my tent and stolen away into the night like an Arab, I would have been lacking in responsibility.I prefer to put everything into the battle.I don't feel my life is over as a contributing politician." Asked how she would contribute if she is elected and the Liberals stay in government, Campagnolo replied ."I could have been a cabinet minister before I was elected.But I don’t make deals.What I will do afterwards is the prime minister’s decision."

Dunham Some voters have a bigger chance for change By Steve Kerstetter OTTAWA (CP) — One of the abiding truths about Canadian politics is that all voters aren’t created equal, regardless of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.Most federal elections are won or lost not in the vast majority of ridings that vote the same way for years on end, but in the so-called swing ridings that are up for grabs every time a vote is called.In the 1980 election, only 46 of the country’s 282 ridings — roughly one in six — chose MPs of different political stripes than the ones they had elected in 1979.Yet that was enough to get rid of a Progressive Conservative government just a few seats short of a majority and to replace it with a majority Liberal government.A total of 57 seats were won by margins of less than 2,000 votes in the last election, and residents of those constituencies should find themselves getting an inordinate amount of attention this summer.Every vote counts in a swing riding, and party workers will be doing their utmost to woo undecided voters to their side and to get every last supporter out to the polls Sept.4.The Liberals’ hopes for staying in power rest largely on holding onto swing seats they won in 1980 or offsetting losses with gains in other swing ridings.The Conservatives’ best chance of success lies in winning virtually all the ridings where they put up close fights last time, but they also have to win a few other seats as well if they expect to form a majority government.The New Democratic Party would likely be content to avoid major losses to the other parties.In the last election, the Liberals won 147 seats with 44 per cent of the popular vote for the country as a whole, the Tories took 103 seats with 32 per cent of the popular vote, and the NDP 32 seats with nearly 20 per cent of the vote.The rest of the popular vote went to minor parties that failed to elect even one MP OUT IN FRONT Opinion polls taken just before the election was called July 9 indicated the Liberals were running several percentage points ahead of their showing of Feb.18, 1980.However, some of that lead comes from their traditional overwhelming strength in Quebec and can’t necessarily be translated into additional Liberal seats.The Conservatives are also noticeably stronger than they were in 1980, but they lost the lead over the Liberals this spring that they had held for many months.Ontario and the West are two areas where the Tories hope to win new seats.Current support for the NDP is a little more than half what it was four years ago, according to the polls.The party ran well in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia in 1980, but is especially vulnerable to Tory inroads this year.An analysis of the 57 close races in 1980, considering past voter preferences and current poll readings, yields at least three potential scenarios for Sept.4: —If the political winds continue to favor the Liberals, the party would hold onto the seats it won in 1980 and pick up ridings where it ran a strong second or third.The result would be another Liberal majority government, possibly a huge majority.—If the winds shift and the Conservatives win the swing ridings — while holding their 1980 seats but failing to make serious inroads in safe Liberal ridings — the Tories would wind up neck-and-ncck with the Liberals in party standings in the 282-seat Commons.One of the parties would form a minority government, and the NDP would hold the balance of power —If both Liberals and Tories run strong — holding their safe seats and making gains largely at the expense of the NDP — the most likely result would be a Liberal majority government, since the Liberals are starting with a bigger base of seats from 1980 to build on.ALL BETS OFF?These scenarios assume none of the parties will make major gains in the others' strongholds.All bets are off, however, if one party manages to capture the mood of the public between now and election day and wins seats that were far out of reach in 1980 The Conservatives were riding high in the polls through early March, only to see their fortunes fall sharply and the Liberals soar ahead within a matter of weeks.Given that dramatic reversal and the fact that the percentage of uncommitted voters remains high, further changes of major proportions can’t be ruled out.As well, individual ridings could defy national trends given the right issues or the right candidate.Few observers are prepared to write off John Turner’s chances in Vancouver Quadra or Brian Mulroney’s bid in the Quebec riding of Manicouagan this early in the campaign.Voters in a handful of other constituencies will no doubt defy national trends, if past elections are any guide to the future.Here’s how the three major parties fared in each province in the 1980 election and a summary of the races won by less than 2.000 votes: NEWFOUNDLAND: The Liberals elected five MPs and the Conservatives two, and none of the races was really a cliff-hanger.PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: The island’s four seats were split equally between Liberals and Tories, and all four races were close.NOVA SCOTIA: The Conservatives elected six MPs and the Liberals five, and four of those races were tight.The Tories held onto Dartmouth-Halifax East and Halifax West in tough fights with the Liberals.Former premier Gerald Regan won back Halifax for the Liberals from the Tories by 1,239 votes, and the Liberals edged the NDP by 294 votes to reclaim Cape Breton East Richmond.NEW BRUNSWICK: The Liberals won seven seats, and the Conservatives three.Two races were close: Fundy-Royal stayed Conservative by 1,608 votes, while the Liberals turned the tide on the Tories in Saint John by 759 votes.QUEBEC: The collapse of the Social Credit Party helped the Liberals take 74 of 75 seats, many of them by landslide margins.Roch La Salle kept Joliette for the Conservatives by 389 votes, and that was also the only razor thin margin of victory in the entire province.ONTARIO: The Liberals took 52 of the province’s 95 seats, the Tories 38 and the NDP five.That was a reversal of the fortunes of the two main parties in 1979 and the key to the Liberals’ return to power in 1980.A total of 22 ridings changed their political allegience from one year to the next.The Liberals picked up 17 seats from the Conservatives and three from the New Democrats in 1980.The Tories also lost two other seats to the NDP.Twenty-eight of the 1980 races were won by margins of less than 2,000 votes.Most of them were two-way fights between Liberals and Conservatives, but there were six three-way races, and the Liberals and NDP squared off in three ridings in northwestern Ontario.MANITOBA: The NDP elected seven MPs, the Conservatives five and the Libe rals two.In most ridings, the main contests were between New Democrats and Tories.The NDP wound up with a net gain of two seats in the only close races : they won Dauphin (since renamed Dauphin-Swan River) by 1,844 votes and Win-nipeg-St.James with an edge of 438.SASKATCHEWAN: The Conservatives and NDP each took half of the province’s 14 ridings.Seven races were close, and the Liberals were a force to be reckoned with in five of those races.The Tories held onto Assiniboia and Mackenzie, and the New Democrats kept Regina East and Saskatoon East.Humboldt-Lake Centre, The Battlefords-Meadow Lake, and the late John Diefenbaker’s riding of Prince Albert all slipped away from the Tories and went NDP.ALBERTA: The Conservatives swept all 21 ridings.BRITISH COLUMBIA: The Conserva tives took 16 seats and the NDP the other 12, and six races were close.The Tories held onto North Vancouver-Bumaby and snatched Vancouver Centre from Liberal Art Phillips in a three-way contest.The NDP held Vancouver East and ousted the Tories in Kamloops-Shuswap, Kootenay East-Revelstoke and Kootenay West.THE TERRITORIES: AU three races were toss-ups, even for such sparsely populated ridings.Conservative heavyweight Erik Nielsen kept Yukon by 101 votes.Western Arctic stayed Tory by a mere 19 votes.Nunatsiaq was won by 311 votes by New Democrat Peter Ittinuar.who later switched to the Liberals and is running this time as an independent. ft—The RECORD—Thuraday, August 2, 1984 Farm and business —____ggi ttccora Focus By Kevin Dougherty OF THE CANADIAN PRESS Lower production expected due to rising rates John Dinsmore argues that the federal government's refusal to give petrochemical producers the tax breaks they seek is destroying an industry that could be a big moneymaker for Canada.‘‘Our problem is that our feedstock costs are very high," said Dinsmore, president of Petro-mont Petrochemicals Inc., a 50-50 joint venture of the Quebec government's Société generale de financement and Union Carbide of Canada Ltd.The lack of a coherent petrochemical policy will force Union Carbide to close its Montreal East polyethylene plant by the end of this year, he said, and the closure at Union Carbide makes inevitable the shutdown of Petromont’s ethylene plant in Varennes, Que.The mothballing of the Varennes plant will put 250 out of work, while 150 jobs will be lost at Union Carbide.Petromont also operates a smaller plant in Montreal East making ethylene oxide which will stay open.The Varennes plant has ben kept open for the last two years thanks to $50-million in grants split equally between the federal and Quebec gover nments.Ottawa has rejected a request by Quebec to match an additional IIS-million grant it is willing to give Petromont.PLANS RESCUE Acting Quebec Premier Clement Richard said last week that despite Ottawa's refusal, the provincial government will not let Petromont die.A spokesman for Richard said the issue will be studied by a cabinet committee.‘ ‘The first priority is to find another customer, ’ ’ Dinsmore said.Despite the depressed world petrochemical market, he hopes to find another buyer for the output of the Varennes plant.Ethylene is a volatile chemical which is usually used as close to the manufacturing site as possible.It cannot be stockpiled.Jim Hay, chairman of Dow Chemical Canada Inc., said his company has been losing money on petrochemicals in recent years and is keeping its head above water only because of its other activities.Like Dinsmore, he was disappointed that the federal government rejected recommendations by a task force on the petrochemical industry.The task force suggested tax relief which would have rolled back the price of natural gas by 15 per cent.“We asked for a policy, not a subsidy,” Hay said, explaining that the industry would like to pay the market price for its feedstocks, the oil and natural gas derivatives used to make the nylon and polyester clothing and the plastics in everyday use.IS OPTIMISTIC “That was a response that was not complete in my view,” Hay added.He expressed optimism that there will be further government action to help the petrochemical sector after the Sept.4 federal election.“They ara very knowledgeable about the industry now because of the task force,” Hay said.Progressive Conservative trade critic Michael Wilson said during a campaign stop in Montreal that his party would grant the tax relief being sought by the industry.“The level of taxation should be reduced to allow the Canadian petrochemical industry, whether it is supplied by gas or oil feedstocks, to be competitive with American firms, particularly those in the southern United States” Wilson said.Feedstocks account for 70 per cent of costs in the petrochemical industry.The industry employed about 18,000 people in 1982 and had sales of $5 billion, with jl.7 billion of total sales in export markets.In its reply to the task force in June, the government rejected demands that petrochemical producers using oil-based feedstocks should benefit from price cuts and said the future of the industry lies in the use of natural gas-based feedstocks.In the past, Petromont’s ethylene plant at Varennes was tied to oil-based feedstocks but Dinsmore said the plant is the most flexible facility in Canada.USES BUTANE It began using butane, a derivative of natural gas, 18 months ago and has managed to operate using butane alone.But the cost of transporting butane from Sarnia, Ont., to Varennes has made Petromont’s ethylene expensive.Forty per cent of the Varennes plant’s ethylene output is purchased by Union Carbide.The largest eastern producer of primary petrochemicals, Petrosar Ltd.of Sarnia, is almost wholely dependent on oil-based feedstocks.Last year it lost $52.7-million and in the first half of 1984 it had a $6-million shortfall.Petrosar chairman Robert Dudley blamed the uncompetitive market for feedstocks in Canada for the loss.Malcolm Greenhalgh, public affairs manager for Union Carbide in Sarnia, said the glut of polyethylene on the world market and the high cost of Petromont’s ethylene were behind the decision to close the Montreal East polyethylene plant.Union Carbide is increasing production of polyethylene at its larger, more modem Sarnia plant.Farm and business notes Correction An article which appeared in the July 26 edition of The Recordon the business page under the headline ‘Festival du Lait — cows on parade’ incorrectly stated that the Festival du Lait is being held in Cookshire.The Festival du Lait is a Coaticook festival.The Record regrets any inconvenience the error may have caused.OTTAWA (CP) — For the first time since the end of the recession, manufacturers expect to be reducing production and rising interest rates appear to be the culprit.“Canadian manufacturers reporting to the July Business Conditions Survey generally expect production to be lower in the third quarter of 1984 than in the previous quarter," Statistics Canada said Tuesday.Only 22 per cent of the 10,000 or so manufacturers surveyed expect production to increase this quarter, compared with 46 per cent who expected increased production in the second quarter when surveyed in April.And 33 per cent expect a drop in production, compared with 11 per cent in April.It is the first time since January 1983 a greater portion of the approximately 10,000 manufacturers expected a decline in production from one quarter to the next, an agency official said.And it is the first time since the fourth quarter of 1982, during the depths of the recession, that such a large portion expected production to decline from one quarter to the next.The quarterly survey is the best current indicator of what is happening in the country, said Paul Kovacs, chief economist with the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association.And the results of the latest survey are a disappointing turnaround from the April survey, which was the most optimistic in the six or seven-year history of the survey, Kovacs said, “It is clearly much less optimistic than it was three months ago,’’ he said.The results show that new orders being received by manufacturers have become flat with 23 per cent saying they are rising, down from 40 per cent three months ago, and 24 per cent reporting they are falling, up from 15 per cent.“Something has gone amiss out there in terms of orders for manufactured goods and in terms of their attitude about what's going on,” Kovacs said.And the only explanation for that decrease in optimism is the rise in interest rates and the resulting downturn in the economy, he said.But there are still positive signs, said Kovacs.The suvey results show there is still a good backlog of orders which will keep manufacturers going for a while and inventory levels are not out of line yet.The only explanation offered by Statistics Canada for the decrease in optimism is that “manufacturers continue to be cautious about inventory build-up.” And Kovacs agreed many manufacturers burned by the cost of carrying high levels of inventory during the recession have no intention of being caught again and plan to stay "lean and mean.” The survey results show about 95 per cent perceived inventories of finished goods to be either too high or just right and only about five per cent felt they were too low.The results also suggest the outlook for the unemployed hoping to land jobs in the manufacturing sector is bleak.Asked what were sources of production difficulties, none reported any shortage of unskilled labor and only three per cent reported a shortage of skilled labor.A breakdown also shows export-oriented industries, which fuelled the recovery, are among those where a decline in production is expected and new orders have fallen off.Provincially, manufacturers in New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta on balance expect lower production.Little change is expected in Quebec but increases in output are forecast in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.Government suffering from ‘sick building syndrome’ OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government has a big “sick building” on its hands and can’t figure out how to make it better.An independent study released Monday has confirmed that the 5,300 public servants who work at Les Terrasses de la Chaudière in neighboring Hull, Que., aren't hallucinating when they complain that working in the office tower gives them everything from headaches and dizzy spells to stomach nausea and irritated skin.But, like the McGill University experts from Montreal who carried out the $182,000 investigation, the Treasury Board is baffled by the cause of the problem i * i ¦CASH BONUS** minimum 12.50 invoice valid to Sept.15/84 — 1/client Nettoyeur ECONO Cleaners and uncertain how to solve it.Dr.J.Corbett McDonald, who headed the McGill investigation, says Les Terrasses, built in 1977, is a classic example of the phenomenon, “sick building syndrome," cropping up in a growing number of modern office structures.“One group of investigators has speculated that a mixture of pollutants, catalyzed by ultraviolet light to form a photochemical smog, may cause the varied nonspecific health complaints associated with these ‘sick building' outbreaks,” his report said.“There is no supporting evidence for this hypothesis and no obvious way of testing it." IDENTIFIES FEATURES The report identified these features as common to sick buildings.—Complaints of eye, nose, throat and skin irritation, headaches, fatigue, dizziness and, less commonly, nausea tend to begin Monday, increase as the work week progresses and disappear on weekends and during vacations.—The buildings are usually new or refurbished.Recirculated air is almost always a factor.—Workers generally have no control over temperature, humidity or lighting in the building.Jim Smith, a senior Treasury Board spokesman, accepted a study identifying the ventilation system at Les Terrasses as a prime suspect.But he told a news conference it will take time to nail the problem down.Smith confirmed “several” other federal office buildings are similar in construction to Les Terrasses and that complaints have been received from some, but he was unable to say how many workers are involved overall.However, he told reporters the government was relieved that the study found no evidence associating the syndrome with toxic materials or abnormal pregnancy among female employees.Speaking for Treasury Board Minister Herb Gray, who was campaigning in his Windsor, Ont., riding for the Sept.4 federal election, Smith said the cause must be isolated in “a very careful and controlled manner." Daryl Bean, vice-president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, agreed reluctantly that no quick solution is possible.He urgea the government to commission a follow-up national study to determine the full extent of the problem, but said the union would not support any hasty cures that might end up causing as many difficulties as they solve.Chamber of Commerce reveals youth job plan OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian Chamber of Commerce unveiled a youth employment plan this week that president Sam Hughes says will help some of the 500,000 unemployed young Canadians find a job before the end of the year.Hughes, who said he could no longer look the young unemployed in the eye unless he tried to help, said the plan is meant to complement existing federal, provincial and municipal programs and does not conflict with any initiatives proposed during the current election campaign.It will involve the establishment of committees at the municipal level made up of business, labor and political representatives who will volunteer their time to identify the area’s major problems and co-ordinate solutions.Hughes gave as an example an Ottawa firm where young people were given computer training at night for free.After completing their course, all were able to find jobs, he said.Not every project will be cost-free, he added, but the chamber expects to rely a great deal on businessmen volunteering their time and resources.The emphasis on municipal cooperation is what makes the chamber’s plan better than existing programs, said Hughes, adding that the unemployment problem in a small town such as Perth, Ont., requires different solutions than would be used in Toronto.“We’ve asked ourselves why the government programs don’t work,” Hughes said “There are a number of answers.They have been inadequately explained to the communities in which they are intended to work and inadequately explained to the young people and to the business community.“But more than that, it seems an extended attempt to apply a single solution to every young person in the country.And we know from our own experience that is inappropriate.” Hughes said the chamber has approached the federal government, several provincial governments and a group representing mayors from across Canada.All have endorsed the idea and have pledged their co-operation, he said.The program will start in Sep- tember in 20 to 25 municipalities and the chamber expects to see results by the end of the year, he said.No estimate was given for the cost of the program or the number of youths the chamber hopes will benefit.Statistics Canada figures show 497,000 or 17.3 per cent of Canadians between the ages of 15 and 24 were unemployed in June, compared with the national average of 11.2 per cent.The Canadian dollar: We had it so good a century ago MONTREAL (CP) — Canadians today have to pay approximately $1.32 to buy one U.S.dollar, but they probably won’t find any consolation that the situation was reversed more than 100 years ago.Way back in 1868, just after the American Civil War, and only one year after Confederation, Americans travelling north had to fork out $1.31 U.S.to buy one Canadian dollar.The Canadian dollar was actually established as the currency of both Upper Canada and Lower Canada in 1858.At the time, its rate was fixed at 15-73rds of one British gold so- vereign.The British currency remained the standard of exchange for the dollar until 1910, when it was replaced by the American currency.From 1867 to 1878, the American currency was worth less than the dollar because the U.S.buck wasn’t convertible into gold.But the two currencies traded at about par from 1879 until 1918, when the Canadian dollar began to plunge.When pound sterling was freed from its official exchange rate of $4.76 U.S.in 1919, the Canadian dollar lost even more ground.In 1920, it was trading in New York at 82 cents, while pound sterling was trading at $3.18 U.S.The dollar climbed to more than 98 cents U.S.in the mid 1920’s and established parity when Canada returned to the gold standard between 1926 and 1929.After the gold standard was abandoned in September 1931 the dollar took a nosedive to 80.5 cents, but it quickly recovered in 1933 to trade higher than its U.S.counterpart as a result of Washington’s decision to stop exporting gold.The dollar was set at $1.10 U.S.in 1939, and stayed there until 1946 when parity was reestablished.In 1949, Canada reset its currency at between $1.05 and $1.10 U.S.before announcing the following year it would let its dollar float.In 1962, Ottawa stabilized the dollar once again, this time at 92.5 cents U.S., but from 1970-77 the two currencies traded at par.The Canadian dollar has since slid continuously; last year, the average closing quote was about 80.5 cents U.S., while today it is worth 76 cents U.S.Housing starts for first half of ’84 well below ’83 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.said Monday housing starts for the first six months of the year were well below comparable figures for 1983.A total of 40,571 units were begun in April, May and June, the federal housing agency said in a news release.Combined with figures already made public for January, February and March, that brought total starts for the first half of the year to 65,641.Starts during the first half of 1983 totalled 90,674.The latest statistics suggest builders may have to settle for housing starts of roughly 130,000 for all of 1984.The comparable figure for 1983 was 162,645.Most housing experts say starts during the first half of this year were sluggish because mortgage rates started to climb near the end of the winter.The figures for the first half of 1983 were somewhat higher than originally expected because of the demand prompted by federal grants to buyers of new homes.In Washington, a report by a non-partisan arm of Congress said quotas proposed by the U.S.International Trade Commission would have virtually no short-term impact on overall steel imports into the United States.The report by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress suggests the quota program under consideration by th a White House would be ineffective as a means of curbing steel imports until 1987 at the earliest.The reason is the quota formulas provide for minimum import levels calculated on a base period of 1979-81 when U.S.steel consumption was considerably higher than current or projected demands.That means consumption would have to rise to the 1979-81 level before the quota is actually effective, something not expected until at least 1987.Until then imports could actually increase Author-researcher David Cantor, who prepared the report at the request of the Congressional steel caucus, concludes the commission’s quota program would provide less protection for the domestic steel industry than quota legislation already introduced in the House of Representatives, legislation which does not provide minimum import levels.His conclusions provide fodder for both sides of the debate.Those who seek protection can cite the report in arguing the commission recommendations are too weak.Opponents such as Canada, which has vigorously lobbied against quotas, can argue the program would cause a bureaucratic nightmare for nothing.LET’S SEEYOU DO IT.OUTDOORS!

If I were obese I can’t imagine anyone saying to me, "My God, you’re fat.How much do you weigh?" I do not enjoy hovering over people, especially shorter men who are embarrassed by my height.They move away quickly at cocktail parties and of course they never ask me to dance.Being tall has other disadvantages.It is difficult to find slacks long enough or dresses with waistlines where they belong.Most pantyhose are too short.Same goes for nighties and housecoats I’m writing this in the hope your readers will be more sympathetic to our plight We know we are a bit freakish and we don’t appreciate being reminded.In fact, the next person who asks, “How’s the weather up there?” may get punched out.Long Jean In Longview Dear Jean: Not all tall women feel as you do.Some delight in being statuesque.No one looks more regal than a very tall female who carries her head high, moves with grace and appears to be extremely comfortable with people of all sizes.Forget about punching out the comballs who ask dumb questions.Most of them are probably runts who wish the good Lord had given them more height.Poor canning practices worry experts Locals win U.S.bridge tourney OTTAWA (CPI — Food consultants at the food advisory division of Agriculture Canada are alarmed at unsafe home-canning practices that have come to light through letters and phone calls in the last year.• ’We have heard everything.” says Michelle Marcotte in a news release."Here are some hair-raising examples: meat canned in jars then heated in the oven exploded; vegetable soup put in sterilized jars and not given any further heat-processing, foamed, bubbled and developed foul odors ; fruit cooked in a pot with little sugar then placed in jars for the winter, turned brown, moulded and to our horror was tasted to see if it was still fit to eat.” Marcotte says that last summer Canada had its first reported case of botulism from home-canned food in several years.In the United States, where unsafe canning practices are more prevalent, there are one to two outbreaks of botulism each year from home canned food, Marcotte says.“Each outbreak may mean several people become seriously, even fatally, ill.“Are we seeing the beginning of the same pattern in Canada?” GET RID OF FOOD Marcotte says that if you have used potentially unsafe methods, “flush the food down the toilet Do not taste it, do not feed it to your dog or even use it asfertilizer in your garden." The canning practice most likely to spoil fruit, vegetables, meat or poultry is the open-kettle canning method, she says.“Aside from being totally inadequate to destroy spoilage bacteria in these foods, the open-kettle method where foods are cooked in a large pot, poured into jars then sealed with no further heat-processing allows the food to be contaminated by bacteria, moulds and yeasts as it is transferred to the jar.” Marcotte says the open-kettle method should only be used for jams and jellies.The high sugar content of these products prevent bacterial and yeast growth Surface spoilage by mould is sometimes seen in jams or jellies processed this way when the sealing is poor Marcotte says the next most common unsafe method is pro cessing vegetables, meat or poultry in a boiling water bath.BACTERIA GROW In this method, the food is placed in jars that are then heated in boiling water.Certain food-poisoning bacteria, including the bacteria that cause botulism, are not destroyed by boiling water temperatures and are able to grow in the jars of vegetables, meats or poultry, Marcotte says.To destroy these bacteria, a pressure canner must be used.Oven-canning has two dangerous aspects, the food consultant says.“In oven-canning, jars of food are heated in the oven.These people thought that by setting the oven at high tempe ratures, the food in the jar would reach the same tempe rature as in the pressure canner.“This is not safe, the tempe rature in the jar will only reach slightly above boiling water temperatures and bac-tetia will not tie destroyed." Marcotte says this method has the added danger of causing burns and cuts when jars explode in the oven or as the door is opened because the high temperature and dry heat in the oven create unequal pressure between jars and the oven.She says that before starting to can food, make sure you are using reliable, up-to-date instructions.She suggests writing to provincial home economists, provincial

Perry Beaton caught on camera.Sher-Lenn's Jeff Grapes avoided a tag at third hose and was called safe by the third base umpire.After a good amount of arguing on the part of the Valleyfield coaches, and a tong discussion between head umpire Gerard Dubé and Marlin Labonté, the latter reversed his decision on the broken baseline rule.Grapes did not appear to have been tagged but did he break his baseline?Many of the about 1500 people at the Sherbrooke Parade Grounds were furious because of the reversed ruling including Sher-Lenn coaches Bob Hals all and Sormand Labelle.Sher-Lenn faces uphill fight after falling to hard-hitting Vaileyfield By Scott Coates SHERBROOKE — The Sher-Lenn AU-Stars came up with a good effort Wednesday evening but they didn't get the breaks and were beaten 11-7 by Valleyfield.Sher-Lenn now faces an uphill battle in their quest for the Little League provincial title.As expected the game was an exciting one from start to finish for the 1500-or-so spectators who gathered at the Parade Grounds to watch the two until-then-undefeated teams.The question before the game was whether or not Sher-Lenn pitching could stop Valleyfield hitting.Well, starter Sean McGrath, after registering the game’s initial two outs, was hit for two singles before giving up a three-run homer to Karim Pirani.Pirani, who hit two roundtrippers against Sher-Mont on Sunday, really connected this time, sending the ball far over the rightfield fence to give his team an early 3-0 lead.What the folks at the Parade Grounds were quick to remember though, is that Sher-Lenn is no slouch with the bat either The locals scored two runs in each of the first three innings to tie the score at six.OPPOSITE FIELD Sylvain Lallier got things going with a two-run opposite field home run in the bottom of the first and McGrath hit one out of the park in the second Valleyfield scored three times in their half of the third inning to take a 6-4 lead but Sher-Lenn’s Jeff Grapes tied things up with a two-out, two-run double to left-centerfield.All these runs and excitement had spectators on the edges of their seats — just waiting for more.Unfortunately for the fans, and for Sher-Lenn, the ‘more’ went up as Valleyfield runs on the scoreboard Two of those came in the fourth when Jonathan Bougie hit a pitch from reliever François Poulin, who had come on in the third inning, just over the left field fence.Three more runs in the fifth made for a five-run spread (11-6) which Sher-Lenn couldn’t overcome but came mighty close while trying.The decisive point in the game as far as Sher-Lenn coach Bob Halsall was concerned was the fifth inning.The locals had one run in already and three men on base when clean-up hitter Lallier came to the plate Lallier connected with a Sebastien Gaudreau (Valleyfield’s third hurler in the game) pitch and hit it to deep center-field but right at the centerfielder who registered the third out.“Had that ball been hit anywhere other than right at the centerfielder, we would have had a couple, maybe three runs and the rally still going,” said a somewhat discouraged Halsall.EARLY CONTROVERSEY Another point in the game which Halsall looked back on was in the first inning when home plate umpire Gerard Dubé overruled third base ump Martin Labonté on a very controver- sial play.Grapes looked like he was about to be tagged out at third but dodged the tag and was called safe by Labonté.After a long discussion between the two, Dubé had Labonté change his decision and Grapes was out on the broken base-line rule which had Halsall fuming at the time.“I had a feeling we’d have trouble with him (Dubé) because he’s been around for many years and likes to put on a show to make sure everybody knows that he's boss," said Halsall.“In the end though, that’s not what lost the game for us, they outhit us, but what I think it did was put fuel on the fire for us,” added Halsall.At any rate it cost Sher-Lenn a run because right after the play and its subsequent arguing Lallier hit his two-run homer that would have been a three-run blast.When it was all over Valleyfield had 12 hits compared to Sher-Lenn’s eight.Gaudreau and Bougie led the winners’ attack with three hits apiece while Pirani and Patrick Laplante had two each.Grapes (a single, double, 2 rbi’s), Poulin (two singles, two rbi’s) and McGrath (home run, double) had two hits for Sher-Lenn while Lallier’s homer and a single by Daniel Lessard completed the offensive output.DRAWING BOARD It’s now back to the drawing board as Halsall puts it as Sher-Lenn will meet Park Extension in the semi-final which will go at 5:45 Friday evening.Park Extension eliminated Boucherville earlier Wednesday with 6-3 victory meaning that there are only three teams left in the tournament.Coaches Halsall and Normand La-belle are expecting to get a rematch against Valleyfield on Saturday but aren’t taking Friday’s game too lightly.That’s why they’ll be sending the ace of the pitching staff, Lallier back to the mound to make sure nothing goes wrong.“Lallier should be able to get us to Saturday and then we’ll just have to hope that we can knock Bougie (Val- leyfield’s expected starter) for a few runs.If we win Friday then Poulin will pitch Saturday and will throw lots of off-speed stuff at them in an effort to hold them to five runs,” said Halsall.“It’s going to be tough now since the long road is the only road but we won’t be dead until the umpire calls the final out.The kids want that trip (to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan for the Canadian championship), their morale is still good and I think if we can get a few more breaks than we did tonight (Wednesday) we can pull it off,” Halsall summed up.There’s no action today at the Parade Grounds but either Park Extension or Sher-Lenn will be eliminated Friday The winner of that game will then have to beat Valleyfield twice in order to win the championship since Valleyfield has yet to lose in the double-elimination tournament.Saturday’s final is set for 2 p.m.and if neccessary Sunday’s game will start at the same time.CATS 9-Os with program director Ted Silver in front pose after one of their

Staffers jumped into an early (first-inning) 4-0 lead on four straight hits then added another run on two more hits and an error.With two people still on base and a rally in the making the 9-Os practically begged that the maximum five runs per in- ning rule that usually saves them from humiliation be used.Being the good sportspeople — and overconfident — that the Staffers are we agreed to the ruling, which later blew up in our faces.We scored just four more runs in the next six innings while the 9 0s, displaying possibly the most offence in their brief three-year history, chipped away and took the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning.And they did chip away.Not once in the game did the 9 0s have to leave the field because they scored too many runs like we did.No, that rule penalizes a team for being successful and success isn’t something the CKTS 11 are accustomed to.WORKS FOR Record Offensively the 9-Os were led by lea- doff batter Jean-Claude Labrosse who had two hits, one of them a two-run home run in the fifth inning.Scott Coates, who does more work for The Record but makes more money at CKTS, had a pair of hits and scored two runs for the 9 0s.He should have been playing for us but we lent him to them because we felt sorry for them before the game.Nice people finish last.Fred Wright and Don Seguin also had two hits each and scored twice for the winners.Staffers’ offence — what their was of it after the first inning insurance rule which may have upset the concentration of some players — was provided by Ti m Belford, who had two hits and three runs batted in before he was replaced late in the game for de- fensive purposes, Rick Boudreau, with two hits and two runs scored, and Peter Scowen, who made a one for three night respectable by hitting a two-run home run.It wasn’t really at the plate where we lost this one, though.it was because of poor defensive play and, unlike our opponents who practice and play all the time, we put our team together 10 minutes before the first pitch was thrown.We’re not complaining, however.Just because we had two of our people umpiring the game and trying to be more than fair so that no one would later imply that they helped us win doesn’t mean a thing.We’ll just shoulder the loss and come back and meet them August 28.Then we’ll see who’s laughing.Scoreboard f f BASEBALL MTVMM UASUt Em> OMatoa

Barnston for a period of thirteen years.He will long be remembered for the faithful performance of that office but, more especially, as a wonderful neighbour and friend.MARTIGNACCO, Italy (Reuter) — It was seven lean years for the people of this small northeast Italian town who went on a collective diet as part of a study of heart disease.But now that it is over, they are asking for more.Doctors who carried out a program aimed at cutting down bad habits associated with heart disease say the town’s 5,500 inhabitants are now significantly healthier.No one knows for sure what causes heart attacks, says Prof.Giorgio Feruglio, head of the cardiological centre at the general hospital in the nearby city of Udine.The Martignacco Project which Feruglio led, was directed at factors linked with heart ailments that something can be done about — high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and smoking.The results, Feruglio says, are tht deaths have been cut, the number of estimated coronary risks has been halved, average cholesterol and blood-pressure levels are down, and the number of smokers has dropped to 42 per cent from 60.A GOOD EXAMPLE Martignacco, an undistinguished town of solid, chalet-style houses, was considered a good sample community for the study, with some people working in agriculture, some in light industry, and others commuting to Udine, the provincial capital.More importantly, this region of Italy known as Friuli, has one of the highest rates of heart disease and cholesterol levels in the country.High levels of cholesterol, found especially in animal fats and egg yolks, have been widely linked with heart ailments.In Martignacco, ham, butter, white wine and a grape-based liquor called grappa loom large in the local diet.Researchers, working under the auspices of the United Nations World Health Organization, embarked on an intensive campaign to get the Marti-gnaccans to lead a more healthy life.“The diet was very difficult,” Feruglio recalls.“The culinary habits around here are very deeply rooted.” Lectures were held, a cookbook published — adapting local recipes to dietary needs — and cooking classes staged.“People were taught to cook the same things, but in different, less harmful ways," said Orietta Pagnutti, a social worker involved in the project.“We said it tastes just as good if you cook it in oil instead of butter.” A cookie factory here produced a “new concept” cookie, low in fat and sodium, high in fibres and natural sugars.Called bon coer, it is advertised as “the hearty biscuit.” The people of the town were bombarded with talks, films, leaflets and posters condemning smoking and promoting physical exercise.A 3.5-kilometre ecological walk was mapped out in the local hills The age-group considered most at risk — the 40- to 59-year-old bracket — were given regular and thorough checks.DROP IN DEATHS Since the experiment began, heart disease and deaths from heart attacks are “down to a significant extent,” Feruglio says.A study similar to the Martignacco project has been carried out in north Finland, and parallel projects are also going on in 15 other centres in both Western and Eastern Europe.Local officials are sensitive about some Italian press reports suggesting that the townspeople were hel pless guinea pigs in an experiment carried out by white-coated boffins.In fact, after initial suspicion, 90 per cent of the people participated enthusiastically, they say.And now it has finished, the Martignac-cans are demanding that the experiment be continued.But has it really made that much impact on local life?At the town’s main restaurant, chef Adriano Tassi says: “It’s made some difference — but not that much, as usual in Italy.We’re already pretty much in line, there’s not much fat in our dishes.“As a matter of fact, the main difference has been all these doctors who’ve been here.They’ve increased business no end.” Public Notice NOTICE is hereby given: That a public

Elizabeth St., BEDFORD.Que.J0J1A0 (514)248-3334 BEDFORD — The Missisquoi County Fair, 155 years young, will open its gates once again Tuesday, August 7, holding firmly to its record as the oldest county fair in Québec and second oldest in Canada.Held in Bedford, a town of about 12,000 that is well situated for visitors from Montreal area as well as for those south of the border, the fair usually caters to around 50,000 people from all walks of life.Variety is the key to entertainment at this event and keeping the fairgoer busy has been the special task of organizers for a century-and-a-half.The fair has changed somewhat since the days when exhibitors came with small animals and produce in huge farm wagons with livestock driven in front and horses of all shapes and sizes tied to the back.Buildings have been expanded and new ones built.A local detention farm for boys has traditionally sent young men who have learned first hand about the work involved in preparing and running a county fair of this size.Volunteer helpers far outnumber salaried employees, and the spirit that has kept so ma- ny county fairs alive during some very difficult times lives on in these folk."Although the success of the fair is more or less guaranteed by the financial support of both federal and provincial governments, the final outcome depends on participation by all concerned: exhibitors, organizers and the population, especially all the social or-ganizations which make this type of event possible," said Rou-ville Ménard, president of the Missisquoi County Agricultural Society.And participation they seem to have in abundance this year after a glance through the program.A grand parade through the streets of Bedford Tuesday evening starts festivities off with a bang and spectators traditionally hold their ears as every vehicle from miles around — including some interesting antique firefighting equipment — that boasts a siren or a bell wails or clangs its way along the parade route.Most years this event takes nearly two hours to pass and is well worth the effort if one is a fan of old-fashioned parades with bands, clowns, horses and THE 156"' BEDFORD

fairgrounds this year, ready for its first occupants: the commercial and industrial kiosks that form an integral part of any agricultural exhibition.Named for André Bachand, M.P.for Brome Missisquoi and parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Agriculture, the building is tangible evidence that Bachand was able to persuade the federal government and the minister a building such as this one is necessary.Completely winterized, it is a multifunctional design where sales, exhibits and other events can be held anytime during the year.Located near the center of the fairgrounds, it is already filled to capacity with the commercial, industrial and handicraft displays that Bedford Fair is famous for.With literally hundreds of senior citizens who compete on an individual basis or as a member of a Golden Age club team, the handicrafts and artisa-na that turns up at Bedford is alone well worth a visit.For years the arena and an unused school housed these exhibits.With the new center the arena will be available for the shows and activities that almost guarantee a good time by the very fact they are indoors and are not dependent on Mother Nature’s whims.Built at a cost of $70,000 dollars, the building was completely financed by the Federal government.With 20 municipalities involved in this county fair, facilities have been a long time catching up with requirements.“Now we have taken another big step towards providing the kind of accomodation we would like to our exhibitors first of all and for other events, to the community in general," Huguette Marzia- li, society secretary, said.Naming a building after someone who is still very much alive is rather an odd occurence, but according to Marziali, the Society decided this gesture would be just a small token of appreciation for the work Bachand has tirelessly given to the Bedford Fair.“This man has supported us way beyond our expectations, and although it’s rare to do this, we decided unanimously to name our new Pavilion Agro-Alimentaire the André Bachand building,” Marziali added.Bedford fairgrounds has undergone some major changes during the past five years.The society is now housed in a new building near the main gate and a grandstand has been built as has a judges’ stand and showring.The buildings are maintained with fresh paint every year.There is a paved midway area and neatly trimmed grass eve-rywhere.The race track is kept in good condition as it is used by a racing stable nearby throughout the year.Parking is ample and the grounds, located in the center of town, are easily acces-sible from every highway leading into Bedford.Farm machinery displays have also kept up with the times and one can stand in awe of specialized machinery that cuts and seperates huge amounts of silage or grain corn at one gulp, spraying equipment that is almost twice the width of a standard highway and tractors so huge, they would be completely useless on the hilly or swampy terrain we see around the E.T.Because this is one of the larger county fairs, Ca mpbell Amusements brings in its best rides and concessions.Campbell, which prides itself in running a safe, clean show is well known across Ca- nada and in particular in the Townships where it has appeared at the Sherbrooke and Brome fairs for several years.Safety, cleanliness and polite personnel are its trademarks, reassuring to customers who are looking for thrills without spills.The fair opens Tuesday, August 7 and runs through August 12.A special added feature this year is a ‘garderie’ for children from two to 10 years of age.Situated behind the Missisquoi Agricultural building near the main gate, the garderie, which is free, will provide entertainment, games and special events including a miniature petting farm where children can get to know and understand farm animals and what they are all about.J «St®, r f ! ¦Congratulations To The Missisquoi County Agricultural Society 156”' BEDFORD FAIR J.G.GELINEAU Licensed

egg prices boosted the total cost of the July food basket substantially, a survey by The Canadian Press shows.Because stocks of domestic produce such as tomatoes and potatoes are still at a premium, Canadian consumers must still rely on U.S.imported vegetables and the devalued dollar is keeping prices higher than normal, an Ontario food broker said.Nick Luciano, a bro- ker with F.G.Lister and Co.Ltd.at the Ontario Food Terminal, said in an interview the first field tomatoes arriving at market last week were overpriced but “shoppers aren’t stupid and they are re-sisting inflated prices.” Luciano said they can expect to get relief within the next week.That is when fresh field tomatoes will be available in abundance and he predicted the price will tumble as the volume increases.However, consumers can expect to continue paying higher prices on potatoes until about mid-August, when domestic supplies are available.Luciano said.As a result of a four-cents-a-dozen increase to farmers July 9, egg prices rose in eight of the 12 cities surveyed for the monthly food basket.FEED COSTS UP The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, which regulates egg production, said the in- Crossword 1 6 10 ACROSS

basket is conducted in the same supermarket in each of the 12 cities on the last Monday of each month, The survey includes one kilogram each of round steak roast, centre-cut pork chops, Grade A chicken, medium ground beef, tomatoes and apples.Also included are 454 grams each of packaged wieners, cod fillets, margarine-in-a-tub, all-purpose coffee, one dozen Grade A large eggs, one litre of two-per-cent milk, one 680-gram loaf of sliced white bread, four kilograms of first-grade potatoes, one 340-gram package of frozen peas, one 540-millilitre tin of halved pears and two kilograms of granulated white sugar.The survey is not intended to provide a city-by-city comparison because the product sampling is small.It shows price trends in specific stores in certain cities for a limited number of goods many shoppers might buy.The latest price checks show: St.John's, Nfld.: Potatoes rose $2.10 to $4.99, cod 31 cents to $3.70, tomatoes 44 cents to $3.72 and peas 36 cents to 99 cents.Round steak roast dropped $1.01 to $6.79, wieners 80 cents to $1.98, chicken four cents to $3.67, ground beef 54 cents to $4.49, margarine 20 cents to $1.07, bread 37 cents to 68 cents, apples 30 cents to $1.99, coffee 51 cents to $4.14 and sugar 21 cents to $1.18.Cost of the July basket was $49.37, down $1.24 from June when it was $50.61.Halifax: Ground beef was up 25 cents to $4.17,

game contract and suddenly find yourself in a slam, happy if you’re lucky enough to make it.North bid a jump raise of three diamonds over his partner’s one-diamond response.The jump was a trifle pushy, since the singleton spade queen might not have full value.Still the six-card club suit, combined with excellent four-card diamond support, justified this aggressive action.South showed his spade suit, hoping that this bid would draw a three no-trump call out of partner.Lo and behold, the next bid heard from North was four hearts! Now South didn’t know whether to be artist, scientist, or just plain idiot, but he felt that his club singleton might be worth something.So he bid five clubs.Remember, diamonds had been agreed on, so five clubs had to be a cue-bid.Most experienced partnerships have the understanding that, after a cue-bid at the five level, a five no-trump call asks that the best slam contract be selected.Thus the six-diamond call ended the bidding.The play still required good fortune after the king of hearts opening.If clubs had divided badly, then the slam would have failed because of lack of communication.Such was not the case.Declarer won with dummy’s ace of hearts, played ace of clubs, ruffed a club, led a diamond to the jack and ruffed another club.The clubs were now good, and a diamond played to dummy drew the outstanding trump.Bold bidding was rewarded with a lucky distribution of the club suit.Record has designed a special package for you to get your Garage Sale off to a great start.In conjunction with your prepaid ad you'll receive a Special Garage Sale Package which includes everything you'll need to let your prospective customers know about your sale and to help you get tnmgs organized What you get for only $7.00 Up to 25 words for 3 days in our classified "garaq sale'' column 10 per word per day for extra word • 2 large Garage Sale signs • 2 large arrows • 32 price tags 2 inventory sheets • Your Garage Sale Checklist complete with helpful tips Get the whole family involved and start today to plan for your Garage Sale with the help of Record Come in and place your Garage Sale ad and pick up your Special Package from The Record Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m.to 4:45 p.m If you cannot come in, we will accept collect calls for placement of your Garage Sale ad and mail your Garage Sale Kit ($1.00 extra lor postage) Payment is required with your order Visa or Mastercards accepted
