Asked to elaborate later on these suggestions, MacDonald said they were just a few of the many she would like to see discussed MONTREAL (CP) — An angry Premier Howard Pawley asked Tuesday for a meeting with Prime Minister Mulroney after learning the federal government does not plan to accept Manitoba’s demands for an additional $72 million in transfer payments.“The report I have just received angers me,” Pawley told reporters after he was briefed on leaked federal documents indicating Ottawa will not accept Manitoba’s arguments for a greater share of transfer payments.“The report I have just received angers me,” Pawley told reporters after he was briefed on federal documents TORONTO (CP) — The federal government eliminated Canagrex, the Crown corporation involved in agricultural exports, because private companies mistrusted the firm so much they wouldn’t get involved in deals with it, Agriculture Minister John Wise said Tuesday.Wise told the annual meeting of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, which had boosted the concept of the export corporation, that the former Liberal government had imposed Canagrex on the agricultural industry.“It was conceived in an atmosphere of pressure, mistrust and anxiety,” he said “People walked away from the coporation thinking that it was not TORONTO (CP) — Farmers have to bite the bullet along with the rest of society in the effort to clean up the government’s deficit, says federal Agriculture Minister John Wise.But in a speech to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture on Tuesday, Wise gave confusing signals, promising new proigrams on stabilization, crop payments and export sales."When we talk about what the government can or should do for agriculture, or any other business for that matter, clearly it is in your best interest to see the federal deficit reduced," said Wise, 48, a fifth generation dairy farmer from southwest Ontario."That is a painful process.And eve- obtained by a Winnipeg newspaper indicating Ottawa will not accept Manitoba's arguments for a greater share of transfer payments.“I’m asking for a meeting with the prime minister this Friday,” he said.Pawley wants Mulroney to explain whether Finance Minister Michael Wilson will follow “the advice of senior bureaucrats to play hide and seek with Manitoba.” The premier said Manitoba Finance Minister Vic Schroeder told him Wilson hadn’t committed himself when the two ministers met in Winni- going to work and they were not going to allow it to work.” The creation of Canagrex was opposed by meatpackers and other export firms that didn’t want a Crown corporation involved in the export business, even as an adviser or intermediary on deals.Wise said Canagrex made several unsuccessful attempts to take part in export deals.“On a couple of occasioins, if Canagrex hadn’t pulled away, there wouldn’t have been a deal,” he said, although in an interview later he declined to reveal which agreements had been threatened by Canagrex’s involvement.rybody has to share in the rain." Later in his address, the first to the federation since he succeeded Liberal minister Ralph Ferguson, Wise held out several promises that could mean increased subsidies for farmers.In addition, he told reporters most cuts to agricultural spending are complete.DETAILS PLANS Here are some of the program promises: — Confirmation of statements Monday by Ontario Agriculture Mi nister Dennis Timbrel! that legislation will be introduced soon on tripartite stabilization, a plan in which the provinces, federal government and producers will contribute equally to peg Monday.“We had the impression the discussions would continue," Pawley said after a luncheon address to the Chamber of Commerce.QUOTES MINISTER Wilson left behind briefing notes which were quoted by the Winnipeg Free Press on Tuesday.The notes said Deputy Finance Minister Marshall Cohen had asdvised Wilson not to build false hopes Manitoba would get the $72 million it is seeking.The premier added that the briefing notes acknowledge Manitoba’s claim that it has been hardest hit by transfer-payment rollbacks.The adjus- QUEBEC (CP) — C la iming the recent flood of resignations from his cabinet and caucus has ended, a defiant Premier Rene Levesque rebuilt his shattered cabinet Tuesday and announced that three Parti Québécois back-benchers have changed their minds aboiut quitting caucus.Just hours earlier, Louise Harel announced her resignation as employment minister, becoming the sixth minister in as many days to defect from cabinet because of Levesque’s decision to drop independence as an issue in the next provincial election.But Levesque said he was sure there would be no more defections, indicated he has no intention of backing down on his controversial stand on sovereignty and refused Opposition Liberal calls for a snap election, adding that he is in firm control.“The government will be more efficient than ever until the end of its mandate and I believe it is my duty to stay and lead it.” the premier said du ring a bitter exchange with the Libe rals.During the session, Levesque saw his former finance minister, Jacques Parizeau, resign his L’Assomption seat, while two more of his departed ministers, Denise Leblanc Bantey and Jacques Leonard, crossed the floor to sit as independents.PLUGS THE HOLES Immediately after question period, the premier moved to plug the holes in his cabinet, shuffling two veterans, promoting two backbenchers and giving four ministers extra duties until permanent replacements are found for those who have quit the cabinet since the crisis erupted last week.Asked for an assurance that there would be no further resignations, Levesque replied: “Uve missed out on some prophecies, but this one I can say with rather good certainty — yes.” He also announced that three backbenchers— Jules Boucher (Rivere du Loup), Denis Vaugeois (Trois-Rivières) and Jazques Baril (Artha baska), all of whom had indicated they might cross the floor to sit as independents, have decided to stay in the PQ caucus.And the premier said he will not change his mind in the dispute with party hardliners who want Quebec independence to be an issue in the election expected next year The defections, coupled with a Liberal victory in a byelection Monday, leave Levesque’s government with 66 members, an 11-seat majority in the 122-member legislature.There are 49 Liberals, six independents — four of them former PQ caucus members — and one vacancy, created by Pari zeau’s departure.WALK SAME ROAD Levesque told reporters his new cabinet now has people “going in the same direction.” Asked if the rash of resignations meant he now had the government he had wanted all along, the premier replied: “That’s going a bit far." raise farm incomes in years of low, commodity prices The plan will apply to beef, sheep and hog producers.Wise said the plan will not likely go into effect until after the new year He declined to offer cost estimates.On Monday, Timbroll said farmers in provinces that do not participate in the program will be cut off from exis ting federal stabilization payments - Reiteration of promises by Finance Ministeer Michael Wilson to study farm tax reforms Changes to capital gains regulations and impie mentation of tax free agribonds could mean Ottawa will have to forgo mil lions of dollars in tax revenue Investigation of ways to strong tments, which will mean shortfalls only for Manitoba and Quebec, were announced by the previous Liberal government.“While it is true the impact of the new equalization formula fell hardest on Manitoba, their current difficulties are in large part a product of recent economic conditions,” Cohen is quoted as saying.“Manitoba does not have much sympathy among other provinces for its request, except those who see themselves benefiting from a positive federal response.Levesque named Yves Duhaimc, a moderate small town lawyer, to the key finance post vacated by Parizeau, who was the only finance minister the PQ had known since coming to power in 1976.Two little known PQ back benchers, Jacques Rochefort and Jean-Guy Rodrigue, were named mi nisters of housing and energy respectively.Levesque also made interim appointments to replace other ministers who resigned.But while the worst of the crisis seemed to have passed, Ix> vesque’s long-term problems are far from over.Of the defectors, only Parizeau has quit politics altogether.Back benchers Pierre de Belle feuille and Jerome Proulx quit the PQ caucus last week and sit as indepen dents.They were joined Tuesday by Leonard and Leblanc Bantey.who re signed from her women’s affairs t>or tfolio Monday.STAY TO FIGHT But Harel and the remaining two of the three defecting ministers for mer science minister Gilbert Paquette and former social affairs mi nister Camille Laurin have chosen MONTREAL (CP) “There are more ways of quitting the Levesque government than Howard Johnson’s has flavors of ice cream" noted a Que bec political commentator.The following is a summary of the recent comings and goings within the Parti Québécois government.— Jacques Parizeau (L’Assomption), finance minister since the PQ first won power in 1976, resigned from cabinet last Thursday and announces Tuesday he was also resigning his seat.Parizeau, an economist trained in London and paris, has been one of the PQ’s most powerful and respected members.— Jacques Leonard(Laurentides Labelle), first elected in 1976, quit last week as transport minister and deci ded Tuesday to sit as an independent Leonard is an accountant and for mer university administrator He has served as minister for planning and vice-president of the Treasury Board — Gilbert Paquette (Montreal-rosemont), who has served as minis ter of science and technology since the position was created in 1982, quit cabinet Monday but will remain a member of the caucus and party exe cutive.A mathematics professor, Pa quette was first elected in 1976.— Camille Laurin (Montreal Bourget) resigned his posts as vice premier and social affairs minister on Monday, but remains in the PQ caucus.Laurin, a psychiatrist, is the author then export sales of farm products This is needed to replace Canagrex, chopped as a budget saving measure.Wise said the government may spend more money through trade commissioners and delegations — Legislation to widen advance payments to western grain producers to other commodities.No cost esti mates were given Reiteration of an earlier announcement that the federal and Ontario governments are sharing the costs of buying up to 30,(KM) tonnes of surplus grapes On Monday, Timbrell said the purchase will cost each government $3 million But Wise said he has been assured hv his officials that "it won’t cost a Cohen said agreeing to Manitoba s demands might spur Quebec and pos sibly Nova Scotia to seek larger trans fers from Ottawa.In Regina on Tuesday, Wilson insisted the Conservative government has made no decision on proposed changes in the federal transfer formula The finance minister also said he considered publication of the notes an invasion of privacy.Defending the newspaper, Pawley said it would be “beyond human expectations" to expect a reportere not to pick them up to remain in the PQ caucus at least until the party's special convention Jan.19, when delegates will either ra tify or reject Levesque's stand.Sources close to the dissenting ministers say they don’t want to bring down the government before the convention, and have also rejected the possibility of forming another political party for the time being Instead, they will concentrate on organizing for the January meeting, where they are determined to take control and force Levesque to back down or resign.When she announced her résigna tion from cabinet Tuesday, Harel promised to campaign actively, along with other leading PQ dissidents in the debate that is about to begin in the 122 riding associations on Levesque’s decision on independence.Paquette said he will remain in can eus because he believes he will be able to more effectively oppose Levesque from inside.And Laurin, whom many view as the conscience of the PQ, told a news conference he has “great hope in what the party will be after the convention.The party is more important than the chief, and anything can happen." Wise says farmers must bite bullet like everyone else The comings and goings inside the Parti Québécois of Quebec’s controversial French language law, known as Bill 101 He has been a mmber of the PQ cabinet since 1976 Denise Leblanc Bantley (Iles-de-la Madeleine), quit her women’s affairs portfolio Monday and crossed the floor Tuesday to sit as an independent.She was first elected in 1976.Louise Harel (Montreal Maisonneuve), a lawyer named immigration and cultural communities minister only two months ago, left cabinet Tuesday but remains in caucus.She was first elected in 1981 Pierre de Bellefeuille (l)eux-Montagnes) was the first PQ backbencher to resign in protest over Premier Rene Levesque’s plans to drop independence from the party election platform First elected in 1976, he quit the party caucus last Tuesday to sit as an independent Jerome Proulx (St-Jeani, first elected as a PQ member in 1976, quit the caucus last Thursday and will also sit as an independent for the second time in his career.Proulx began his parliamentary career as a member for the Union Nationale in 1966, leaving three years later to sit as an independent Back-benchers Jacques Baril (Arthabaska), Jules Boucher (Ri viere-du Ixiup), and Denis Vaugeois (Trois Rivieres), all first elected in 1976, threatened to quit at various times in the past week, but Levesque announced Tuesday they had decided to stay in the caucus.dime” because they will be able to recover the purchase cost by selling grape concentrate Despite these promises.Wise maintained throughout the speech the government is facing hard choices."Wo have to ensure that the course of action we pursue is affordable as well as effective."

REGINA (CP) - The lone Liberal member of a legislature in Western Canada continued Tuesday to put roadblocks in front of the best-laid plans of the Saskatchewan government OTTAWA (CP) — A coalition of national relief agencies has been established to funnel aid to Ethiopia and other African countries, David MacDonald, emergency to-ordmator for African relief aid, said Tuesday.The coalition brings together nongovernmental organizations and federal government representatives to work out plans for distributing money from a recently created 250-million fund for relief aid established by the federal government.MacDonald, who has already visited Ethiopia and says he is returning soon, said every effort is being made to get aid to the drought-ravaged country quickly, and private donations are pouring in.OTTAWA (CP) — Daily newspapers are coping well with the current economic climate as revenues for 1982 increased nine per cent from the year before, says a report by Statistics Canada released Tuesday.“Many people believe that advances in telecommunications over the past few years are about to wipe out the print medium,” the agency said.“Judging by this report, that would not appear to be imminent.The newspaper and periodical industry is coping well with the current economic climate.” Revenues of daily newspapers climbed to $1.5 billion in 1982, while revenues of daily newspapers and periodicals combined rose four per cent in 1982 from the previous year.Advertising revenues were down on eper cent to $1 1 billion in 1982.However, street and subscription sales, worth $125 million, were nine per cent higher than in 1981 In 1983, the daily newspaper industry remained fairly stable, said the study of the 118 dailies that reported their circulation There were 124 dailies in 1983 While total daily circulation slipped TORONTO (CP) — The erosion of agricultural soils is the most serious farm crisis in Canadian history, says Herbert Sparrow, chairman of the Se nate agriculture committee.Sparrow, who headed the committee’s investigation into the issue last spring, told the annual meeting of the Ontario Federatioin of Agriculture on Tuesday that water erosion, wind erosion, soil compaction, salinization and urban expansion are costing far mers $1 billion a year in lost income.And if major changes to cropping practices were not made soon, significant parts of the country would become unproductive within 20 years.Weathe Sunny with moderate winds today and increasing cloudiness tonight.Rain Thursday.High today 12, low tonight 6-8, high

firm but French-language dailies fell marginally Chain ownership remained a prominent feature of the Canadian newspaper industry.The largest group, Southam Inc., owns 16 dailies with a combined average daily circulation of 1.54 million, representing 28 per cent of the Canadian total.Thomson Newspapers Ltd.owns 39 of the 116 dailies that reported their circulation and has a combined circulation of 1.11 million representing 20 peer cent of the total.The total circulation of non-dailies, including community, university, armed forces and ethnic newspapers, weekend tabloids and supplements, was down two per cent in 1983 from the previous year and the number of non-dailies decreased by 34 to 1,154.Community newspapers accounted for 73 per cent of all non-dailies and 62 per cent of total non-daily circulation.Sparrow saut contemporary farming practices such as intensive cropping of com, other grains and oil seeds are largely responsible for the erosion.And almost no part of the country is safe.He said water erosion is the most significant problem in the Atlantic provinces and parts of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick could become unproductive in 20 years unless major changes are made.In Quebec, powdery organic soils are picked up by the wind These areas would also become unproductive within 20 years unless something was done.Urban expansion is the most important problem in Ontario, he said, adding that 50 per cent of Canada’s Class 1 and 2 soils are located within a two-hour drive of Toronto.In the west, salinization has already decreased yields by 25 to 75 per cent in some parts.This reduction occurred even after farmers increased their fertilizer use.In its report released in July, the committee called for a number of federal and provincial soil conservation measures.Sveinson spoke for 3Vi hours — including the entire evening sitting — on Bill 105, amendments to the legislative Assembly Act.His central point has been to ask why a special session of the assembly was needed to deal with Thatcher.Sveinson has successfully stalled the bill almost a week.He twice denied unanimous consent needed to introduce the Legislation, refused to allow second-reading debate the same day the bill was introduced, and talked about the proposed law until the Tuesday adjournment time of 10 p.m As a result.Government House leader Eric Berntson will ask cabinet today to delay until Dec.6 the speech from the throne opening the fall session.LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scientists will launch the first man made comet on Christmas Day, hoping to learn more about the formation of the solar system and triggering what may be a spectacular display visible throughout western North America.The experiment - part of a $78-million, three-satellite effort by three countries to study how solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic field -has already drawn inevitable comparisons to the star of Bethlehem, which the New Testament says appeared during Christ’s birth.“Any number of jokes have been made about taking the three top scientists in the mission and putting them on camels and riding them down Constitution Avenue” in Washington, said Richard McEntire of the applied physics laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.“While the symbolism is neat, it’s purely coincidental.” Early Christmas morning is the best time for making observations LONDON (Reuter) — The Antarctic Treaty, the world's first accord on limiting nuclear weapons and considered one of the great success stories of modem diplomacy, faces new challenges 25 years after its signing.The prospect of extracting oil and other riches from the frozen wasteland, has made some countries rethink Antarctic explorer Robert Scott’s words: “Great God.This is an awful place.” The treaty signed by 12 countries December 1,1959, did not mention mineral resources, but interest in a potential bonanza has been a driving force behind the growing number of signatories.There are now 32, four of which joined this year.Lasting indefinitely but subject to review in 1991, the treaty demilitarized Antarctica, established the continent as a nuclear-free zone and promotes international scientific ex-chane and environmental conserva- Sveinson sometimes strayed from the issue in his lengthy monologue, once reading from a letter sent by a Grade 6 student on the Thatcher matter and another time quoting from a history book about Metis leader Louis Riel.“I debated the legislation," he said outside the assembly.“I suppose members of the press could suggest I was filibustering.I don’t know what the word means.” WANT APPEALS HEARD Sveinson and Murray Koskie, the New Democrat’s justice critic, oppose stripping Thatcher of his status before all appeals are heard.Thatcher, a former provincial energy minister, was convicted Nov.6 of the first-degree murder of his former wife, JoAnn Wilson.No date for the from two related satellites, two instrument-laden airplanes and from telescopes in New Mexico, Arizona and Hawaii, McEntire said.The man-made comet should be visible to the naked eye, west of a line running from Chicago south to the southern tip of Texas, though it will not be visible where the sun has risen, said Paul Bernhardt, in charge of ground observations at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.It also will be visible from southwestern Canada, northern Mexico, Hawaii and perhaps Tahiti.SHARED EFFORT The comet project is part of a research program - shared by the United States, West Germany and Britain - for which the three satellites were launched Aug.16 from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.One satellite came from each country.The artificial comet will resemble a real comet, which is an orbiting ball of dust and gas with a long tail.But the man-made comet will be composed of tion.It also sets aside the prickly question of sovereignty.Seven of the original signers had claimed parts of Antarctica and disputes on overlapping claims by Britain, Argentina and Chile gave impetus to the accord.“It is in many respects the very model of the type of agreement that countries have been trying to negotiate in other areas,” said Thomas Duggin, head of the polar regions section at the British Foreign Office.The Soviet Union and the United States, both original signatories, and other countries conduct periodic aerial and ground inspections under a treaty arrangement which has eluded negotiators at wider forums on arms control.Other signers include Australia, France, Japan, South Africa, Poland, East and West Germany, China and India.Any country which carries out subs- appeal has been set.“I believe that all of us feel that a career of a man with talent was ended,” Justice Minister Gary Lane said in his brief second-reading speech.“ A life has been lost and families hurt, tom apart.But this legislature must act to maintain its dignity and to maintain its stature in the eyes of the people of Saskatchewan.” Existing law, Lane said, doesn’t deal with expelling a member who is convicted and imprisoned for a criminal offence.The son of Liberal Premier Ross Thatcher has been in jail since his arrest May 7.He has received his regular monthly pay cheque as a member of the legislature.Saskatchewan legislators receive a $13,612 annual indemnity plus a $13,002 expense allo- Barium, a metallic chemical element commonly used in another form to make the digestive tract visible under X-rays.At about 4:08 a m.PST Dec.25, a West German satellite 112,650 kilometres above the equatoral Pacific Ocean will eject four canisters of barium.The man-made comet will appear about 4:18 a m., when the canisters will release two kilograms of barium atoms into space, where the sun will energize the atoms and cause them to radiate colored light.The aim is to learn how solar wind -a “plasma” of electrically charged particles of hydrogen and helium that stream off the sun at more than 1.6 million kilometres per hour - interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, said Stamatios Krimigis, the Johns Hopkins physicist co-ordinating the U.S.part of the program.When solar wind collides with a real comet, it helps create an ion tail, which usually is less visible than a comet’s dust tail.The collision of the tantial scientific research in the area is entitled to vote in the so-called Antarctic Club on matters of common interest.Half the treaty members now have this status.These members have been meeting since 1982 to work out ground rules for mineral exploitation.Diplomats say progress is slow but agreement has been reached on allowing operations by private companies and consortiums.Many non-treaty countries, particularly non-aligned movement members, are alarmed that they may be excluded.Malaysia led a drive to bring Antarctica under wider control at last year’s UN General Assembly session.Renewed debate begins at the UN this week.NOT YET TIME This move is seen as an attempt to apply the same “common heritage” approach of a new international Law wance.Members of the legislature also receive a sessional allowance of $7,356.For each day a member is absent from the assembly and not working on constituency business, $71 is deducted from the allowance paid at the end of the session.Koskie said it would have been enough to suspend Thatcher and remove his privileges.The Thunder Creek riding surrounding Moose Jaw shouldn’t be declared vacant until all appeals have been exhausted, the NDP member said.Thatcher was stripped of his membership in the Conservative party last week by its provincial executive.He was elected as Liberal in 1975, but crossed to the Conservatives two years later.solar wind with dust and gases in the infant solar system probably was essential to how the planets formed, Krimigis said.By using the man-made comet to study how solar wind affects Earth’s megnetic field, “We are getting close to (understanding) a process which is fairly basic to the formation of the solar system,” he added.Researchers are not sure exactly how large the comet will appear to ground observers.But they said it should start out as a dot about as bright as the North Star, then expand within seconds to a reddish-yellow ball appearing about one-sixth the size of the moon.As solar energy hits the barium atoms and ionizes them - causing them to illuminate - within five to 15 minutes, the comet may turn purple and form a tail that could appear 10 times the length of the moon’s diameter to people watching from Earth, although the comet will grow dimmer as it gets larger, scientists said.of The Sea Treaty to Antarctica, although the UN says resources are unlikely to be exploited for some time.Geologists estimate there could be 45 million barrels of oil in Antarctica.Not a drop has been found so far and the prospect of drilling through ice with an average thickness of 1,800 metres is daunting.Coal, iron ore and other minerals have been found, but there extraction is not now viewed as viable.Fishingis a major industry, mainly for the Soviet Union, Poland and West Germany.The United States and other treaty members oppose moves to open Antarctica to UN control.While environmental gains have been praised, there is concern over the effect of mining and other exploration.The Antarctica and Southern Ocean Coalition and the Greenpeace environmental group want a total ban on such activities.ff .rrr^l mam George MacLaren, Publisher Charles Bury, Editor Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager Mark Guillette, Press Superintendent Richard Lessard.Production

radiologist described the technique this week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.The scientist is the first from China to attend the meeting, one of the biggest in radiology.British diplomat shot dead BOMBAY, India (AP) — A senior British diplomat was shot and killed on the way to work Tuesday and police said they are hunting for two men, perhaps connected with the Irish Republican Army.But telephone calls claimed responsibility in the name of a radical Moslem organization.Indian authorities said Percy Norris, 56, Britain’s deputy high commissioner in Bombay, was shot and killed by two white “European-looking” men on foot.Bombay Police Chief Julio Ribeiro said at least three shots were fired as the car in which Norris was riding slowed at a traffic circle shortly before 8 a.m.Bonn opposes sea treaty BONN (AP) — West Germany has become the second major industrial power, after the United States, to refuse to sign the Law of the Sea, an international convention controlling the use of the sea and its resources.Government spokesman Peter Boenisch, who announced the cabinet decision Tuesday, said Bonn opposes the treaty because its ‘‘regimental and protectionist elements don’t correspond to our idea” of how the sea’s resources should be regulated.Deadline for signing the treaty, which has been signed by about 140 countries, is Dec.9.Negotiations on the Law of the Sea convention, strongly backed by Canada, lasted about a dozen years under the auspices of the United Nations.The final act was signed in December 1982.Ancient city discovered MOSCOW (Reuter) — Soviet archeologists have discovered the remains of a 1,000-year-old silver mining city amid the towering peaks of the Pamir Mountains in Central Asia.Tass news agency reported the city, at an altitude of 3,960 metres, had evidently been an administrative centre between the 10th and 12th centuries and its inhabitants had excavated silver from even higher up the mountainsides.The silver was traded with China and other Far Eastern countries.The archeological team uncovered the outline of the city’s streets and remnants of a temple.They also dug up business papers, tools and jewelry.China to get Hong Kong in 1997 PEKING (AP) — British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher will visit China Dec.18-20 to sign the agreement reached in September that returns Hong Kong to Chinese rule in 1997, the Foreign Ministry has announced.Under the agreement, China will regain sovereignty over Hong Kong when Britain’s 99-year lease on the bulk of the colony’s territory expires in 1997.The British statement said Thatcher, accompanied by Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe, will stop over in Hong Kong on Dec.20-21 after the China visit.Under a draft agreement initialed by Britain and China in Peking on Sept.26, the Chinese government pledged to retain Hong Kong’s present economic and legal systems for 50 years after its takeover.Faith healers charged with fraud MOSCOW (Reuter) — Two Soviet faith healers who attracted hundreds of followers throughout the country have been jailed on charges of fraud, a Kiev newspaper says.The daily Pravda Ukrainy said huge crowds had regularly gathered at the Kiev apartments of the men, identified as I.Bolotov and A.Mura-chev, and that some were convinced they both had miraculous powers.Describing the pair as swindlers, it said they had charged hefty rates to treat the sick by using “bio-energy fields” and prescribing foul-tasting homemade medicines.The paper said medical tests had shown that Bolotov and Murachev had never really cured anyone and noted that their own wives used regular medical services.National relief coalition formed to aid Ethiopia One offer has been made to ship sur- Newspapers

RECORD—Wednesday.November 2#, 1984—3 The Townships Pelletier’s claim building checked By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE — Controversy continued to fog the question of the safety of the Gabr building Tuesday as Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier said it has been checked by engineers, while the head of the engineering firm he names says it has done no such thing.A Record report Tuesday said the infamous building at 101 Frontenac, which the city has offered to buy for $1.3 million, has “urgent” defects which could result in its collapse into the Magog River, over which it is built.The report quoted a severe special warning in the deed of sale drawn up when enigmatic millionaire Saad Gabr bought the abandoned grocery store from Steinberg in 1982.The deed says that there has been serious deterioration of the concrete foundation of the building and singles out the pillars supporting it over the river as dangerous.Mayor Pelletier was reached in To- ronto later Tuesday by Sherbrooke radio station CULT.He repeated that the Gabr building is “absolutely, totally, safe,” and that it had been verified by the engineering firm Consultants SM on behalf of Adricon Construction, which had performed some renovations for Gabr's firm Hatley Acres Ltd.“And they checked the pillars," Pelletier claimed.But Bernard Poulin, president of SM, has a different story.Poulin told reporters Tuesday that he was “hired by Gabr” — not Adricon — and that “SM did not have a mandate” to study the safety of the building, but was hired only to check work done for Gabr, which did not include replacing the faulty pillars.“Only his architect could say if that was done,” Poulin said.SM has never been paid for the work.Meanwhile a bankrupt Montreal contractor told the newspaper La Tribune that he had done some work beneath the building, “on the pillars Correction In a report Tuesday The Record ferring to but a special climatized said Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier had room on a suspended floor which was claimed

faulty pillars were replaced during the Gabr renova lions The wooden boxes holding the concrete posts in place were replaced with small concrete pyramids and some cracks were filled.However an examination of the underpinnings Tuesday showed that there are still many large open cracks in the pillars, and none of them appears to be newer than the others.As well, two former Gabr aides have now confirmed that the mysterious Moroccan-born recluse never took steps to have the foundation re paired Both asked to remain unidentified Both also recall that Gabr "was only interested in the appearance of the building, what it looked like, inside and out.but not underneath.” Meanwhile Tuesday at least one contractor is still working on repairs to the building — up on the roof! Workers for the Jos I>abreque roofing company spent the afternoon removing sheet metal from the roof and thowing it into a truck to be hauled away City councillors added to the complaint list Tuesday, telling reporters that Mayor Pelletier has been keeping all the information concerning the building to himself before the city buys the building Councillor Jean Perrault said he has never seen any report on the buil ding “The mayor has kept all the in formation to himself,” Perrault said "1 can understand why the people of Sherbrooke don't know what to think " “Contradictions are coming out

there was some reason to ask questions about it " Last day for taxpayers to sign for referendum SHERBROOKE — Opponents of the Gabr building purchase are halfway to their first goal.Five hundred signatures are required in the special register set up at city hall Tuesday to see if there is sup- port for a binding referendum on the $1.5-million loan the city will make to finance the deal.With

Canadian National Railways was fined $15,000 in county court here Tuesday for violating state pesticide control and permit regulations during a two-day track spraying operation last summer at Warren’s Gore and Norton, Vt.CNR pleaded no contest to two counts which carried a maximum penalty of $25,000 each A plea of no contest is not an admis- ST.JOHNSBURY, Vt.(RP) — The reason last summer’s CNR track spraying operation went 16 miles too far north to Warren’s Gore and Norton was because the contractor didn’t know whether he was going north or south, the railway’s lawyers say.Calling the whole incident “a comedy of errors”, CNR lawyer Robert Hemley told District Court Judge Dean Pineles “the applicator headed north instead of south because he didn’t have any maps.” The applicator, Asplundh Tree Expert Company of Pennsylvania, figured they would just keep going until sion of guilt but rather a consent to be found guilty.It cannot be used as an admission of guilt in any related or subsequent civil case, according to Vermont law.The original charges consisted of six counts but lawyers for the state decided to prosecute on counts one and three only.The state also agreed not to bring further charges arising directly from the incident.CNR pleaded no contest to using pesticides Krovar-1 and Atrazine at they hit the Atlantic Ocean (through Portland, Maine), Hemley said in jest.Hemley said it was clear “the men on the ground” had not been provided with either maps or a copy of the permit.The state department of agriculture maintains its records show all that material was mailed to CNR.Hemley also said the CNR man who handled the operation was doing “his first spray job in the U.S.” “It should have been supervised by someone who was completely familiar with all the U.S.laws,” Hemley admitted.Warren’s Gore and Norton without first obtaining a permit from the Vermont department of agriculture, and to failing to contact the department 24 hours prior to the July 21 operation.They were fined $7,500 on each count SPRAYED PAST LIMIT The charges stem from a bungled track spraying operation on that day when the contractor hired by CNR accidentally sprayed 16 miles beyond the Island Pond-Bloomfield limit for which the permit had been issued.Lawyers Robert Hemley and John Montgomery, representing CNR, argued the incident was “an unfortunate mistake”.“There is no question there was spraying beyond the limit (for which the permit had been issued),” Hemley admitted.“But it was due to a peculiar foul-up and there was no intention on the railway’s part to take advantage of a situation.” “It was a comedy of errors,” he added.Hemley said the overspray was an “innocent oversight”, and claimed no area maps were given to the operation foreman.William Rice, assistant attorney general for the agriculture section of the environmental division, said state records show all the necessary material — including maps — were sent MAPS STILL MISSING Hemley said to this day those maps have never been found at CNR offices in Montreal.The CNR overspraying included a right-of-way which cuts through the Norton farm of Edward and Brigitte Graham.Shortly after the operation the Grahams complained of health problems which they say turned up in themselves and their animals.One sheep died mysteriously and respiratory problems already present in a 7-year-old Arabian horse became more serious.Brigitte Graham, who does much of the work around the farm, developed a severe skin condition on her hands and feet.The family also had to begin using expensive bottled water.CN’s Hemley claimed “it would have been virtually impossible for a chemical to travel the route of geography from the track to the (Graham’s) house." The Grahams complained both their bam and house water wells had been contaminated by the chemicals used.Hemley argued that since their house well is uphill from the tracks CN contractor needs a compass Poverty becoming feminized — Francine McKenzie By Louise Léger SHERBROŒKE — “There is nothing we cannot do,” Francine McKenzie, president of the Quebec Council on the Status of Women, told a group of Sherbrooke and District University Club members Tuesday.McKenzie, president of the eoucil since March, said the council’s priorities presently lie in the economic sector.“I am convinced that the most important issue for Quebec women in the coming years is their economic status,” she said.“For the first time in our history, as many women are at work in the marketplace as there are working at home.” McKenzie said that with the disintegration of the family unit women are more often playing the role of providers.“There are 210,000 single-parent families in Quebec.195,000 of these single parents are women.They are the bread-winners — but for many of them this implies poverty .” “Poverty is becoming feminized,” she said.MOTHERHOOD ‘NOBLE’ McKenzie said work in the household and the education of one’s children are “.noble tasks.As such we must demand that their social and economic value be recognized.” “For the upcoming generations you are the living proof that even with the structural handicaps still built into our society for women, there is no challenge too arduous, no goal unattainable,” she told the group.McKenzie pointed out that between 1975 and 1980 the number of women graduating from Quebec universities has almost doubled and that this year, for the first time more women than men entered Quebec universities as undergraduates.Mckenzie said the role of the council is to serve people across the province and to relay information to the public at large and to the more than 1500 women’s groups across the province.She said she had a commitment to “reach out to the regions, to be present with the different cultural communities, with immigrant women and all the problems they face, and also, of course, with the English-speaking women of Quebec who, after all, make up at least fifteen per cent of the female population.” MEN MUST UNDERSTAND In conclusion, McKenzie said the way in which others perceive the council’s message is important.“It is of the very essence of feminism to be understood.women cannot occupy all the room that is their right unless men understand that they must move over.” McKenzie said it was important to communicate with the young.“After all.we have something to tell them.We have a story to tell.It is a story of a more humanistic world, a world where being a woman and being a man has a new meaning, a meaning they can share.” In an interview earlier McKenzie told a reporter the economic problems of women stem not only from the rise in single-parent families but also from increased technology which eliminates jobs.“We have to encourage young girls to choose untraditio-nal jobs or jobs of the future,” she said.CULTURE AHEAD McKenzie said that in the past the important women’s issue was the law, presently it is the economy and in the future, she predicts, it will be cultural.“We already have examples of cultural change," she said, pointing out the increase in sharing household work.McKenzie said that in the past women had a moral influence on the government, but now they have “a real electoral influence”.“Our group doesn’t just get considered every four years,” she said.McKenzie described her job as “the most interesting challenge.Nothing can be accomplished without deter mination — I like to fight.” McKenzie spoke in English to the group of approximately 25 at Restau rant Le Parequet on King Street.Francine Mackenzie.Women are gaining their place.' -• ¦ ?'•v •- .another delay in Rock Forest hearings Judge grants SHERBROOKE — A Quebec Superior Court judge ordered the Quebec Police Commission on Tuesday to postpone once more the start of its public hearings into a bungled police raid in which an innocent man was killed in a hail of bullets last December.Mr.Justice Thomas Toth made the decision after Sherbrooke police lawyer Michel Proulx argued that comments by Premier René Lévesque on the acquittal of two local detectives in the case contributed to a bias.Proulx also charged that police commission hearings are unconstitutional.The hearings were set to begin Thursday, but won’t start until after Dec.17 when Proulx will present formal arguments in an attempt to permanently block the commission from conducting the inquiry.Proulx is representing 16 policemen subpoenaed to testify at the inquiry which will investigate the events leading to and during the shooting of Quebec City carpet layer Serge Beaudoin SHOT THROUGH DOOR Beaudoin was killed and his partner Jean-Paul Beaumont wounded when police fired through their motel room door in nearby Rock Forest.Police mistakenly believed the two men were bandits who had slain a Brink’s guard the previous day.Sherbrooke detectives André Cas-tonguay and Roger Dion were acquitted by a jury last month of criminal charges in Beaudoin's killing.Proulx argued that Lévesque damaged the possibility of a fair hearing when he told the National Assembly that Justice Ministry officials should consider an appeal of the acquittals of Dion and Castonguay.The lawyer also claimed procedures used by the commission violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because the commission forces witnesses to testify and possibly incriminate themselves.However using the rights charter to protect an entire 200-man police department would also constitute a cover-up of the force’s chain of command and of how superior officers were involved in setting up the fatal raid.The force itself cannot be charged with a criminal offence.MINISTER WANTS SPEED Proulx failed to mention that Jus- tice Minister Pierre-Marc Johnson, responsible for both the administration of justice and the operations of the province’s police forces, wrote to the police commission Oct.23, asking it to continue the investigation “as quickly as possible.” The commission hearings were first set to begin Feb.28 but were delayed because a coroner’s inquiry into the killing was underway.The hearings were then set to begin two weeks ago, but had to be delayed again be cause the commission's chief lawyer had died.They were then set to begin Nov.29.But Mr.Justice Toth has now postponed the hearings until at least Dec.17, one week short of the first anniver sary of the death of Serge Beaudoin.YIARS In Ins lirsl mnlion pkliili' CInima CAPITOL 59 king est ses oui U t A :WMt-7 »:tei i M * ' JO R*t« I n I*.] Jt ft 17t SOMEDAY YOUR

highway, which runs about 100 feet from the other side of the well.William Rice, assistant attorney general for the agriculture section of the Vermont environmental division, argued the offences of spraying without a permit and lack of prior notification are the main issues, regardless of any test results or speculation on the chances of contamination.“Our impression was that it was a gigantic mix-up,” he told District Court Judge Dean Pineles.“The state takes it program very seriously and we believe a $15.000 fine is significant, that it will serve as a déterrant to other users of persticides.” “1 don’t think we ll see CNR in this situation again,” Rice added CORRECTIVES NEEDED Before accepting CNR’s no contest plea.Judge Pineles asked what steps would be taken by the railway in the future to ensure this type of incident does not happen again Montgomery, a Portland, Maine lawyer who represents CN R in New En gland matters, explained that responsibility rested with too many departments at the railway.One department negotiated, another complied, another acted, he explained “The engineering department will from now on have one individual responsible for compliance will all appropriate regulations,” he promised.“The railroad takes this situation very seriously,” he added “I would be surprised if this situation recurrs." Judge Pineles gave CNR until Dec.7 to pay the $15,000 fine."I suspect they may even be able to take this out of the operating budget of the (track spraying) operation." he said Victims frustrated over Vt.decision ST JOHNSBURY, Vt (RP) Bri gitte Graham is upset over the court’s decision to fine CNR $15,000 for the bungled spraying operation near her farm in July, but she says she really wasn’t expected much to happen to the railway anyway.Outside the courtroom, Mrs Gra ham was close to tears.“I suppose we kind of expected this," she said The Grahams have their own la wyer, Walter Morris, negotiating with CNR for civil damages resulting from the spraying Asked how Tuesday’s decision will affect their case against the railway, Mrs.Graham said "I hope it helps."

Cookshire Primary School Rolling into another challenging season of sports COOKSHIRE — The 8th meeting of the Cookshire School Centennial Committee was held recently in the school, with 14 in attendance.Following the reading of the minutes and their approval, general business was discussed.The next newsletter will be sent out as soon as possible, Marilyn Ross agreed to compose the letter, and the correspondence committee will look after the addressing and mailing the letters.Mention was made that any material for the book must be submitted to the publishing committee by Dec.15th.There will also be a note that advertising and family pledges should be submitted along with payment.It is also important to know how many will be attending the banquet.The meeting was interrupted for a few minutes when Pat Fremont arrived to take photos of the committee.The committee has started selling advertising and the response has been good.In exchange for an ad, Mr.Vaudry is donating a large centrepiece for the head table, and 32 small flower arrangements for the banquet.A notice will be put in the Galt Bulletin for any Galt students who had attended Cookshire Primary School to leave their names with Gail Olsson.A motion was made that the contract with Imprimerie, Rock Forest, be approved.More photos would be appreciated ; please write your name on the back of them.Bob Gill will be approached to write up an article on Frank Hurd.It was agreed that several books would be donated to the various libraries and museums in the area.Two downstairs halls have been reserved for the banquet and dance.The banquet will start at 7 p.m and the dance at 9 p.m.48 hours notice prior to the banquet will be required in order to calculate how many will be attending.The meal plan proposed by Malcolm Fraser was accepted; there will be a full course turkey dinner, the approximate price will be $11.00 per person, with tax included.Tentative plans were made for hiring music for the dancing, and also for the “under 18” dance on the Friday evening and for background music at the banquet, and during intermissions.The root of the problem is nervousness about sex WINNIPEG (CP) — In Montreal, students in a Protestant school talk candidly about sexual abuse, pornography and abortion.In Lethbridge, Alta., only a few students have opted out of the school system’s human sexuality program.In Winnipeg’s St.Vital School Division, more than 92 per cent of students signed up for a family life program, with a strong sex education component, despite loud protests from some parents.Advocates of sex education in schools consider these programs oases of enlightenment in a country struggling to teach its children about their own sexuality.“The root (of the problem) isn’t sex education,” says Sam Luker, a Guelph University family studies professor.“The root is that we are very nervous about sex in this country.” Luker the state of family life education in Canada is spotty at best, with provincial governments not wanting to handle what has become a hot issue.For example, in British Columbia, there is no family life education curriculum.A proposed curriculum was drawn up for the 1982-83 school year, but the Social Credit government of Premier Bill Bennett shelved the program and there are no signs of it being renewed.B.C.curriculum director Bob Over-gaard has suggested that family life and health education may not be a high priority considering the need for other programs in such areas as career and consumer education.IMPORTANT SUBJECT Luker counters that sex education is “at least as important as geo- graphy.” Schools in Quebec have a choice of two provincially approved programs — one secular and one that incorporates the topic in a moral and religious education program.In the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal, sexual issues are taught as a “very broad concept” starting in Grade 1, says Quebec consultant Margaret Capes.By Grade 9, topics such as anatomy and reproduction have long been covered and controversial issues are raised.The Lethbridge program involves parents.Board official Sharon Gibb said the Grades 1 to 10 program has been nurtured along by a series of parents’ advisory committees.But in most jurisdictions, children are not guaranteed any comprehensive information about sexuality.In Saskatchewan, the department of education includes human sexuality as an option in its health program but few school boards have picked it up.TEACHERS TRAVEL Saskatchewan provincial consultant Mary Jean Martin said that instead, students in many school systems receive sex education from a travelling team of resource teachers who talk about fertility and conception and are sponsored by a group that lobbies against abortion.In Ontario, local boards are left to deal with sensitive issues — such as abortion and masturbation — on their own.Boards have started demanding that the province be more specific in family life education guidelines now being drawn up.On November 7th we held two Remembrance Day ceremonies for Intermediate and Senior House.Members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 99 participated.Reverend Mary Gibson, Protestant Chaplain to the school did a splendid job in arranging the various activities.The ceremony consisted of a slide presentation of World War II, along with some students reading from the scriptures and relating their thoughts concerning the looming possibility of nuclear war.The band played various hymns, along with Reveille and the Last Post.Inger Woest and Margaret Moore played a guitar and flute duet of Amazing Grace which was very nicely done.Michel Du-chaine composed and performed a song written for the occasion.It is felt that this year’s Assem bly best conveyed the true feelings of what Remembrance Day should be.Report cards were issued to Massey-Vanier students on November 27 and our First Term Pa rents’ Night will be held on Thursday, November 29 from 6:30

at Massey-Vanier, encourages people to come and see Massey-Vanier, and discover the many diversified courses and services it Massey-Vanier Views offers.It is hoped that as many people as possible will make an effort to attend the Parents’ Night as it is a truly educational experience for the parents.Radio and news broadcasts have brought the public to realize the situation in Ethiopia and due to their obvious need for help, Massey Vanier is planning to raise money for the UNICEF Fund We are hoping to have the participation of the full student body.Any donations from the public would be greatly appreciated.The soccer and cross country running season has come to an end Unfortunately the girls’ soccer team failed to accomplish their goal of ma king the finals but they certainly showed

If the reality had not set in Monday that Guy Lafleur had retired from Montreal Canadiens, it surely hit French-speaking hockey fans in Quebec when they opened their newspapers Tuesday.The two largest French-language publications had devoted 18 and 12 pages respectively to Lafleur’s announcement that he was retiring after a 14-year National Hockey League career.The universe continued to unfold in a normal fashion Tuesday, but for many hockey fans, especially French Canadians, there was a feeling of emptiness, a longing for a new sports’ hero to assume the ambassadorial role that Lafleur filled for them over the years.There has always been someone through the decades — Rocket Richard, Jean Beliveau, auto racer Gilles Villeneuve, Lafleur Quebec-born athletes who have brought pride to their fellow francophones and caused them to look at their exploits as an extension of themselves.Through retirement or death, all of them are gone now, and the logical assumption would be that the athlete who is No.1 in the hearts of French Canadians is Gaétan Boucher, the double gold medalist in speedskating at the 1984 Winter Olympics.‘‘I’ve never thought about it,” Boucher said Tuesday when the question was raised."When I compete, I don’t look at it as being for French Canada or English Canada, but for Canada as a whole.“It’s not something where you say to yourself, ‘Lafleur has retired, so now I must be No.1.”’ A recent Sorecom public opinion poll ranked Boucher at the top as the most popular athlete among Quebec sports’ fans.The survey was conducted several months after the Olympics, undoubtedly showing that Boucher had made a lasting impression."It’s true to say that French Canada lost an idol when Guy Lafleur retired,” said Pierre Lacroix, the business agent for Boucher, who has also served many hockey players in a similar capacity."But I don’t think being No.1 has ever been in Guy’s or Gae-tan’s mind."It’s a known fact that since the 1984 Olympics, a lot of the Canadian population have identified themselves with Boucher.But there’s a difference in the adulation for Gaétan and a professional athlete such as Lafleur.The way the public looks at it, it’s a question of pride.They’re proud of Lafleur, but they look at him as more like a movie star."With Gaétan, they come up to him and they’re happy to thank him on behalf of the country.” There is every indication that Boucher will become an even larger source of French-Canadian pride as the winter progresses.Last weekend, he won the overall title in the 1984 international sprint meet at West Berlin, proving he has lost none of his competitive edge despite a hectic summer filled with personal appearances.On Tuesday, it was announced that Boucher will be affiliated with a French-language radio station, delivering 60-second health messages to a 25-member network throughout the province.While Boucher may be handicapped in that he cannot compete before a partisan audience every few nights like Lafleur — most speedskating events are held in Europe — he figures to remain a large part of the public conscious- ness through this type of exposure.“The important thing about Gaétan is that he still has the desire to do better, to break his own records,” said Lacroix.“You’ll see this year.“The amount of publicity he’s been getting is unreal.And it’s not just in Quebec.When he won on the weekend, it was in newspapers everywhere in Canada on Monday morning.We never had that before his performance at the Olympics.” And much like Lafleur, Boucher accepts his superstardom modestly, coming across as a shy but candid person, one who feels a sense of duty toward his public.Boucher could easily have retired on his Olympic laurels, but he is a man of considerable motivation.“I’ve set other goals now than the ones I had before,” he said.“If I can win the world sprint championships, I would be the only person to do it twice.“Then, there’s the 1988 Olympics.People have won more than one gold medal at the Olympics, but there aren’t many who have done it twice.That’s one of my goals.” Little effort used for Navratilova to advance MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — It took defending champion Martina Navratilova just 39 minutes to advance today to the second round of the $1 28-million Australian Open tennis tournament The 28-year-old Czechoslovakian-born left hander, trying to complete the grand slam - Wimbledon and the United States, French and Australian opens - in a calendar year and record her 100th career tournament victory, lost only 24 points in trouncing South African Yvonne Vermaak 6-1, 6-1.Navratilova, who now faces fellow American Mary Lou Piatek, refused to look ahead to an anticipated meeting with a third American, Chris Evert Lloyd, who ad vanced Tuesday by defeating compatriot Kim Schaefer 6-0,6-2.“History suggests Chris is my main rival, but I’m not looking that far ahead,” Navratilova said.“I just try to concentrate on my next match." The victory extended Navrati-lova’s winning streak to 71 matches as she tries for her seventh straight grand slam title.After the match she iced an ankle injury, but said it was not causing her any pain on the court.NO PROBLEMS “It doesn’t give me any problems and its not hampering by mobility at at all,” she said.She sent to the United States an order for some special high-top shoes to help alleviate the problem, but an Australian customs dispute has kept the shoes in storage.Piatek advanced by downing compatriot Barbara Gerken 6-2, 6-4.Wendy Turnbull of Australia, the fourth seed in the women’s singles, defeated Larissa Savchenko of the Soviet Union, 6-2, 6-1.Turnbull’s next victory in the tournament will lift her over $2 million in career earnings.In other women’s singles matches, Dianne Balestrat of Australia defeated Svetlana Cherneva of the Soviet Union 6-0, 6-1 and Corrine Vanier of France downed Sara Corner of Britain, 6-3, 6-1.In men’s play, American Scott Davis completed a 7-5,7-5,6-4 victory over Mark Kratzmann of Australia in the first round.The 22-year-old Californian had led 2-1 in the third set when the match was called Tuesday because of bad light.Also, Stefan Simonson of Sweden outlasted Israeli Shlomo Glickstein, 6-2,7-6,4-6,7-5; Eddie Edwards of South Africa beat American Danny Saltz, 5-7, 6-0, 6-2, and American Tim Gul-lickson defeated Peter McNamara of Australia 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.Mi-Habs ship Landon to Saints SHERBROOKE (CP) — The American Hockey League Sherbrooke Canadiens have sent forward Larry Landon to St.Catharines Saints, a club spokesman announced Tuesday.Pierre Creamer, coach of the Sherbrooke affiliate of Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League, said the club agreed to send Landon to the Ontario team, so he could be closer to his family.The club also announced that goaltender Paul Pageau had suffered a broken finger on his right hand in practice and would be out of action indefinitely.Not enough Gordie Howe’s ability to play professional hockey in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s has become legendary, establishing him forever as one of the world’s truly remarkable athletes.But how do most of us remember Howe?Most members of my generation remember him only as an old man, talented but past his prime, a bit of a novelty.We tend to forget that in his day Gordie Howe was one of the most talented hockey players in the history of the NHL.All that comes to mind now is how LONG he played hockey, not how WELL he played hockey.At 33 years of age, Guy Lafleur has decided to take another route.There’s no doubt in my mind that Lafleur is still good enough to play professional hockey.Sure, he’s slowed down a little.He gets hurt more often.His goal scoring production isn’t what it used to be, and his flyaway hair, which for years was the danger signal in other NHL cities, isn’t so thick anymore.But Lafleur still has enough natural talent to play regularly on any one of the league’s 21 teams, despite his problems.He could still be an average NHL hockey player But being average just wouldn’t be enough for Guy Lafleur.The personal pressure on Lafleur must have been incredible over the past few months, as he carried the weight of the world around on his shoulder pads.When considering that Lafleur is a hero around the league, and a God in the province of Quebec, it’s easy to see how he was pushed to the breaking point.Or rather, how he pushed HIMSELF to the breaking point.Contrary to what most sportscasters in the country have recently been telling you, Lafleur’s performance throughout the first quarter of the 1984-85 season wasn’t really so terrible.He certainly wasn’t breaking any scoring records, and luck obviously wasn’t following him around, but he was still playing solid, basic hockey, and still making a valuable contribution to the Montreal Canadiens.In terms of vintage Guy Lafleur, however, his performance must be measured on an entirely different scale.To Lafleur himself, a class act right up until the very end, this was the only scale that mattered.Lafleur has decided not to play on past his prime, declining to become a second Gordie Howe, although he certainly could if he wanted to.Instead, Lafleur wants to be remembered for what he was in his prime — one of the greatest players in hockey history.Lafleur has bailed out just in time, retiring before his current difficulties began to distort the memory of his outstanding career.Saying goodbye to the only life he’s ever known must not have been easy for Lafleur, especially when he knows that he is quite capable of continuing.But Lafleur displayed two of his most famous qualities — class and guts — in making the most difficult decision that ever faces a professional athlete.I know that my praise means absolutely nothing to Lafleur himself, but for what it’s worth, he made me feel proud.Proud that he was my hero.Cowansville Curling Club has seen some hard times By William Harris COWANSVILLE — Since it’s founding in 1963 the Cowansville Curling Club has had the poten tial to be one of the most popular and important curling centres in the area.Not only does the curling club benefit from most of the Cowansville Golf Club's excellent facilities, but the three sheets of curling ice are also consistently said to be of above average quality by most curlers in the region.Still, for a variety of reasons, the Cowansville Membtrs at the C 'o wans ville Curling Club have excellent facilities at their disposal.Curling Club struggles to survive each winter Ron Harris, a CPGA professional at the Cowansville Golf Club, and a curling instructor at the club since it’s first year, sees poor communication as the main reason that the club suffers from a lack of widespread local appeal."The community in general just doesn’t realize what the curling club has to offer,” says Harris.“We have the best facilities of any club around, with large locker rooms, showers, sauna, lounge, and bar prices lower than most places in the area.For all this a man’s membership is only $90 a year, which works out to less than $25 a month”.UNKNOWN According to Harris, the Cowansville Curling Club's reputation seems to hinder it’s success.“People have the impression that we re a pri vate club and they don’t realize that we re open to everybody,” he says.“You don’t have to be an experienced curler to join our club.Until Christmas this year I’ll be giving free lessons, with all equipment supplied, on Wednesday nights and Saturday afternoons This gives people who just want to come down and try the sport an opportunity to do so.” “New people seem to be intimidated by us,” adds Harris.“Actually, we want and need new, enthusiastic curlers very much." NEW BUILDING There was a time when the Cowansville Curling Club had a strong and active membership.After the clubhouse at the old Cowansville Golf Club burned down in the spring of 1962, the present club was built, along with three sheets of curling ice, about four miles out of town on highway 104.“Those early years, in the mid and late '60s, were successful because we used a very agressive style of recruiting," recalls Harris.“These days the average person just doesn't realize that the curling club won’t bite them if they want to stop by and take a look We re trying to change our image." One consistent knock against the Cowansville Curling Club has always been it’s inconvenient location While many people feel that a downtown club would vastly improve the membership situation, Harris does not believe that the club’s location is it's biggest problem.“The Sutton Curling Club is successful now, but it wasn't always,” says Harris.“A number of years ago they were almost ready to fold up, even with their excellent location in downtown Sutton.Hard work and good advertising saved curling in Sutton, not the convenient location of their club.” “In short,” says Harris, “a better location would certainly help us, but I don’t think that we can realistically use it as an excuse for all of our problems.” BETTR ADVERTISING Harris also feels that while French Canadians traditionally don’t have a great love for curling, this too could be overcome with the proper publicity, advertising and recruiting.“It’s true that at present we have more English members than French members,” he says.“The fallacy is that we want it that way.” Christmas parties and special curling events can presently be arranged for groups who wish to rent the facilities on a nightly basis.Along with Harris’ lessons, free equipment and more than reasonable membership fees, the Cowansville Curling Club is making an effort to take curling to the people of Cowansville "The club has the potential to be a real community centre,” says Harris, “but people have to know about it first.” Still, as the Cowansville Curling Club stumbles into it’s 21st season, nothing much has changed.A small, dedicated group of people are again working very hard, hoping and waiting for the day when curling in Cowansville catches on in a big way.Ex-Canuck coach Laforge finds another job in junior HAMILTON (CP) — Bill LaForge, sacked a week ago as head coach of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks, has been named coach and general manager of Hamilton Steelhawks of the Ontario Hockey League.The struggling Steel-hawks announced the move Tuesday, hoping LaForge’s pride-and-guts approach will turn their season around.But it was unclear how league officials would handle the return of LaForge, who never completed a lengthy suspension levied in April 1981 when he was coach of the Roughhouse Oshawa Generals.LaForge resigned rather than serve the suspension, which was levied until January 1982 after he squared off at centre ice with an opposing coach and then later in a corridor with an opposing player.At the time, DHL commissioner Dave Branch called LaForge’s actions “totally unacceptable” to the league, which later refused an appeal by the Generals.Branch was unavailable for comment Tuesday and LaForge, who was en route to Hamilton, also was una- vailable.In announcing the Steelhawks’ move, Dave Draper said he was stepping down as head coach and general manager because he was unable to motivate his players and will shift to administrative duties.“You know in your own mind whether you’re getting through to them to the extent that you want to get through to them,” Draper said.“There’s no question that wasn't happening.” 267-2664 * CM «NIAI ( MOVING TRUCKS axis WEEKEND SrE

it was here.The city’s huge Andrew Paton Place housing project was the site of a visit by nearly half-a-dozen officials, including Sherbrooke MP Jean Cha-rest, PQ Labor Minister and Sherbrooke MNA Raynald Fréchette, St.Francis MNA Réal Rancourt, Sherbrooke Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier and city councillor Françoise Dunn.Charest announced the federal government would lend money to cover the entire estimated $3,018,045 construction cost of the project, which will see 51 one-bedroom units and seven two-bedroom units finished by next spring.The CMHS will lend the money at a rate of 12 and one-eighth per cent and payments will be spread out over a 35-year period.The CMHS will subsidize the inte- rest payments for a total of $250,686, the provincial government for a total of $104,812 and the city for a total of $39,000.All units are for senior citizens and will be subsidized jointly by the federal and provincial governments through their respective agencies: the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Société d'habitation du Québec.Charest et al spent noon-hour touring the project, on which construction began Oct.1.Completion is set for June 1, 1985.However, Sherbrookers won’t be seeing any big red-and-white federal government signs on the corner of King and Belvedere for a while.According to André Fréchette, director of social programs at the Sherbrooke office of the CMHC, the Tories have put a temporary “freeze” on big, brassy project openings.But there was certainly no freeze on Quebec government money Monday.St.Francis MNA Réal Rancourt, acting on behalf of Industry and Commerce Minister Rodrigue Biron, visited Berkley Wallcovering Incorporated’s Four Seasons division to announce a government loan of $900,(XX) for renovations.Rancourt was also there to underline the company’s own $6,703,(XX) investment in the old Woodward St.factory.The investment will create 80 jobs.A big part of the company's future plans include a new Stork screen prin ting press.Manufactured in Holland SHERBROOKE (RP) — Government money was flowing so fast Monday that Rodrigue Biron, Minister of Industry and Commerce, couldn’t keep up with it.In McMasterville, Biron announced the investment of $1,860,000 in C-I-L Inc., which makes commercial explosives, for the construction of a new plant and the purchase of more modern equipment.The loan will permit the company to keep all of its 500 employees.In Saint Marc-sur-Richelieu, Biron announced a $95,000 interest-free government loan to L’Auberge Hand-field Inc., for the development of tourism.The hotel will maintain its 32 employees.Those were just the announcements the minister was able to attend Meanwhile, in Sherbrooke Labor Minister and Sherbrooke MNA Raynald Fréchette sat in for Biron and announced a $225,000 government investment in Shermag Inc.for its Thurso plant, and guaranteed a $2.4 million loan (with no interest increases) to the huge furniture maker for its Disraeli plant.Shermag Inc.will create 30 jobs at each location.The company also has plants in Lennoxville, Granby and the United States.Still in Sherbrooke, St.Francis MNA Réal Rancourt visited Berkley Wallcovering Inc.to announce, again and worth approximately $1.5 million installed, the huge press will give Four Seasons Inc.the distinction of being the only wallpaper manufacturer in Canada using the screen prin ting technique.Currently, most wallpaper in North America is manufactured on a flexographic press.Neville Bowers, on loan from Ley-land Wallpaper in Lancashire, England, to teach Sherbrooke operators how to run the company's newly-acquired flexographic press, says he’s heard about the Stork but has ne ver seen one running.in the name of Biron, a Quebec government loan of $9(H),(XX) for renovations

is the finest flexographic press you can buy," he said proudly, pointing to the 75-foot long blue beast churning out a floral pattern ‘Tve heard the Stork is a fantastic machine but I've never seen one run ning so I really couldn't comment," he said.As for his stay in Sherbrooke, Bo wers said in a thick accent, "It s alright.A bit cold though." it’s nice to go somewhere and see someplace different," he added Bowers said he was also impressed with the way Four Seasons operates.Rancourt agreed "The curve of the consumer protection minister Guy Tardif, sitting in for Biron, announced a
