René Lévesque showed up 90 minutes late Thursday for a meeting with Camille Laurin, leading spokesman for party dissidents who oppose the premier’s plan to shelve the Parti Québécois goal of independence.Observers viewed the meeting as the last chance for a compromise to heal the split in PQ ranks just before delegates gather here Saturday to decide the issue at a special party convention.“I’m late,” panted Laurin as he arrived just after 2 p.m.EST at the premier’s office.But Lévesque was still en route from Quebec City and didn’t arrive until 3:30 p.m.The two men “met privately for half an hour,” an aide to the premier said.Neither man would talk to reporters afterwards.The moderate side has a comfortable lead in delegate strength and Lévesque indicated Wednesday it is up to the hardliners to compromise.Tonight, the dissidents will make a last-ditch attempt at a PQ national council meeting to have convention delegates vote on Lévesque’s proposal by secret ballot rather than a show of hands.Laurin was one of seven PQ ministers who resigned from the cabinet after Lévesque reversed himself in November and called for the special convention to change the party program.Last June, delegates to a PQ convention approved a platform binding the party to campaign on the issue of independence in the next election despite poll results suggesting most Quebecers don’t want to hear aboutsovereignty-association again.Laurin noted at a news conference this week that delegates could change their minds during the special convention, comparing it with a hockey game where the underdog can come back with crucial third-period goals.“We are only in the second period of the game,” he said.“There will be a third period Jan.19 and we have often seen some players scoring three goals in two minutes.” But observers agree Lévesque has most of the big scorers, including Justice Minister Pierre-Marc Johnson who is seen as his heir apparent, on his team.Jacques Parizeau, one of the few PQ ministers to actually call himself a “separatist,” has withdrawn from politics after denouncing Lévesque’s moderate stance and won’t even be a convention delegate.Parizeau was replaced as finance minister by Yves Duhaime, a staunch Lévesque loyalist.BACK LEADER Duhaime said at a news conference called by Lévesque loyalists Thursday that the issue at the convention will be confidence in Lévesque’s ability to lead the party.Seven ministers signed a statement read by Duhaime backing the leader.“For me it is very clear,” he said.‘ ‘The question is the leadership of Mr.Lévesque.“All the rest is blah, blah, blah.” Duhaime added that he is convinced this is what is at stake Saturday “even though all those involved have denied it.” He charged the radicals are challenging Lévesque’s leadership and ruled out the possibilty of a compromise.“We don’t want to sacrifice clarity in a wave of compromises,” he said.At the time of the 1980 Quebec referendum, Duhaime recalled, the PQ had 335,000 members.Today the party has only 70,000 adherents, and Duhaime blammed that on its inability to adapt to the political wish of Quebecers for a more moderate program.Membership has fallen at the rate of 6,000 a month, he noted, adding: “Do we have to wait until there are only a few hundred before we change the program?” Mulroney wishes PQ luck MEECH LAKE, Que.(CP) — Prime Minister Mulroney, saying he has always envied the grassroots democracy of the Parti Québécois, has wished Premier René Lévesque good luck at the crucial convention planned by the party in Montreal this weekend.“Good luck and good success to him and all his colleagues,” Mulroney said Thursday as he spoke to reporters following a meeting of his cabinet.The convention of Quebec’s governing party will decide Saturday whether it wants to support Lévesque’s aim of dropping sovereignty-association as an issue in the province’s next election which may be held later this year.“For me, as a Conservative, I’ve always envied the degree of democracy that we see in the Parti Québécois,” Mulroney said.He said he has always believed that the party, whether right or wrong in policy, allows its members to have a real voice when it convenes.“That’s the honor of the Parti Québécois,” Mulroney said, adding that whatever decision the party makes this weekend, it will be made democratically.Many of Lévesque’s key cabinet ministers resigned over his plan to drop the sovereignty issue and will oppose the plan at the convention.RhCORO'ROBLRT PALMKR It's show time Lennoxville

urges new school approach By Michael McDevitl SHERBROOKE - The Superior Council of Education, an independent government-appointed advisory board, has recommended a sweeping reform in the apporoach to education at all levels and has called for an em-phasis on “fundamental training” throughout the education system.In its annual report to the cabinet, presented last fall but only published last week, the Council cites serious failures in the present approach to education to adequately provide the necessary "knowledge, skills and values” to cope with life in a rapidly developing technological environment.Lucien Rossaert.a Richelieu Valley School Board administrator and vice president of the Council, says the emphasis in education should be placed in the future not on the traditional role of “teaching people things, but should instead place the student in an active, rather than passive learning environment.Young people should receive training in how to learn." PROBLEM EVERYWHERE Rossaert says the crisis in education is not unique to Quebec, but is “evident everywhere in Canada, the United States and in Europe," and says it is not the specific policy of any one government which has led to it.Changes in the social, economic and technological spheres over the last several decades have all contributed in making traditional methods of educating young people incapable of coping with modern demands.“For example,” Rossaert says, “in the last 20 to 25 years, we in Quebec See DEAD-END, page 3 Up high and warm ^fe4î:.^.imianiMc aagaasaaa 1 Canadian Forces Base

QUEBEC (CP) — Cpl.Denis Lortie wept after spraying the National Assembly with submachine-gun fire last May and said he regretted what he had done, the star witness at Lortie’s murder trial testified Thursday.Sergeant-at-Arms René Jalbert, who calmed Lortie and convinced him to end the bloody rampage in the provincial legislature, told Quebec Superior Court that the Canadian Forces supply clerk calmed down during a conversation in Jalbert’s basement office at the Assembly.“Ï asked him why he had done what he’d done, and he said he had a lot of questions to ask himself, he was in a bad fix, that he had a lot of questions,” said Jalbert, who was decorated for convincing Lortie to surrender.“I saw tears in his eyes, and told him to go ahead and cry, it would give him some relief.He didn’t sob, but there were tears rolling down his cheeks.“He told me he regretted having done what he’d done,” Jalbert said.Lortie, 25, is being tried on three charges of first-degree murder resulting from the assault on the Assembly last May 8 that left three dead and 13 wounded.IT’S NOT ME’ Jalbert spent the entire day on the witness stand as defence lawyers, who have said they will prove Lortie was insane at the time, pressed him for details of his conversation with the accused.The retired armed forces major testified that when he asked Lortie why he had done what he’d done, Lortie replied: “It’s not me that did it, it’s my mind.” Jalbert approached the gunman as he sat on the Speaker’s throne in the Assembly’s Blue Room holding a submachine-gun.Jalbert later led him to his office, where he convinced him to surrender.He told the court he tried to find out if Lortie was married or had a family, but Lortie replied tersely : ‘ ‘ Don’t talk about my personal life, talk about something else.” In response to another question about his motives, Lortie said he wanted to make some politicians aware of “what’s happening in the world,” Jalbert testified.“I asked him what he wanted to make them aware of,” Jalbert told the court.“He said it’s too long.it’s too complicated, talk about something else, ’ ’ Jalbert said, imitating Lortie’s brusque manner.Jalbert said Lortie was “very nervous, pale and sweating a lot,” as he sat on the Speaker’s throne.He said Lortie moved abruptly and looked constantly from side to side.REFUSED SMOKE “When I offered him a cigarette, he refused, saying he didn’t smoke,” J albert said.“He told me that gum was his drug, and I believe he said it was good for cleaning one’s teeth.“Later, I saw him take out his dental plate and throw it to the floor.He was difficult to understand, and that made it more difficult.” A jury of seven women and five men is hearing the evidence before Mr.Justice Yvan Mignault.Lortie is charged with the deaths of National Assembly messengers Georges Boyer, Camille Lepage and Rogér Le-françois.Lortie is to face a separate trial on nine charges of attempted murder.April budget may be hard to swallow MEECH LAKE, Que.(CP) — Canadians can expect strong medicine in a federal budget Prime Minister Mulroney says will be the most unpopular measure his government plans to introduce after Parliament resumes Monday.The budget, planned for late April, will continue the restraint program started with the announcement of $4 billion worth of spending cuts and other government savings in November, Mulroney told reporters Thursday.“The budget, which calls for restraint, as did the statement in November, will have some difficult aspects to it,” Mulroney said when asked what would be the least popular step his government plans to take after the Commons resumes following its Christmas break.“It always is difficult when you’re cutting back on expenditures.” The prime minister made the comments after a day-long cabinet meeting at Meech Lake, a government retreat near Ottawa.Mulroney met with his powerful in ner cabinet the previous day and plans to meet with that select group again today in Ottawa.Despite the intensive sessions, the government must still decide what it will do in two key policy areas — energy prices and the metric system.NO DECISION YET Consumer Affairs Minister Michel Côté, who promised last fall the government would make a decision by Christmas whether to drop mandatory conversion to the metric system, said the decision has not yet been made.Asked whether it would come by Peter Lougheed.No deadline for new deal.1 Easter, he replied: “hopefully.” Energy agreements with the producing provinces which cover the price of domestic oil expire at the end of January.The Conservatives have promised a return to a world market pricing system for oil, but Energy Minister Pat Carney refused to say whether the government plans immediate changes saying it was still under negotiation.Alberta Conservative Premier Peter Lougheed has said there is no deadline to reach a new deal by Feb.1.but a Conservative insider has suggested Canadians can expect deregulation early in this sitting of Parliament.While Mulroney warned of tough budgetary measures, he also said the government plans to take steps that will be more generally welcomed and which he predicted will help to maintain the level of popularity Canadians Brian Mulroney.Cutbacks make it difficult.give the Conservatives as reflected in the Gallup poll.“Well.I suppose the principal objective of the government is to create a climate of consultation .within which the private sector and the trade unions and small business can grow.” He said the federal government is doing its part to create a co-operative climate.The prime minister predicted Canadians will understand the need for restraint in the budget and know that “the expenditures that we’re cutting back on is borrowed money.“The government of Canada ran out of real dollars a long time ago.” Again blaming the Liberals for the current fiscal situation, he said for mer prime minister Pierre Trudeau inherited a budgetary surplus of about $500 million when he first took power in 1968.“I inherited a budgetary deficit in the neighborhood of $35 billion.”.Alliance is pleased with Chevrette By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE — Alliance Quebec leaders met for the first time Thursday with Social Affairs Minister Guy Chevrette and came away “very optimistic” he will join them in their fight to maintain English-language health and social services and institutions.Although Chevrette made no public statement following the Montreal meeting, Alliance president Eric Mal-doff said in an interview the minister was pleased by the encounter and had told him “you’re turning on lights for me.” The Alliance social services group has been lobbying for guarantees that English-language institutions such as hospitals and residential care centres will continue to exist as the Social Affairs Ministry reorganizes its huge network.As well, Alliance is pushing for assurances that English-speaking Quebecers will continue to have English-language services available to them.“It was very encouraging,” Maldoff said.“He gave considerable support to those two principles, for the entire province.Mr.Chevrette seems very interested in dealing with people and dealing with problems.He seems a businesslike type and he doesn’t come in with preconceived ideas.” “On the contary, he was quite open and ready to listen.He had read our letter introducing the problems of the English-speaking community and came to the meeting with questions.And they were good ones.” “We see where each other stands.” Until December Camille Laurin was social affairs minister.As the government prepared a complete remake of its health and social services delivery system, an important element was missing, Maldoff says.“We’ve been missing in the government plans,” he said.“We have our institutions and services, but they have been planning along other lines.” With Chevrette in the minister’s chair, things seem different.“He sees what the problem is,” Maldoff says.“He accepts the principle of rights to English-language service, and he accepts the need as well.” Mr.Chevrette seems like a very professional man,” Maldoff concluded.” “I really felt it was a dialogue among Quebecers.” Wildlife will be better managed?TORONTO (CP) — Canada’s wildlife won’t suffer from federal budget cuts — it’s simply going to be managed more efficiently in co-ordination with the provinces, says Environment Minister Suzanne Blais-Grenier.“Sometimes when you are in a situation of tight money, you have to reassess so you don’t duplicate,” the minister told a news conference Thursday after a meeting with provincial and territorial environment ministers.“Wildlife will not be threatened.We’re joining together to reassess our resources and priorities.” Toxicology research, studies on polar bears and management of predators such as wolves were among the projects the ministers said would benefit from combined efforts.Blais-Grenier also stressed that cooperation with universities and the private sector would further reduce duplication.Her department is operating this year with a staff of 10,000 on a $800-million budget.It was jolted with a $44-million cut in Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s November financial statement Critics, wildlife workers in paricu-lar, have said the cuts will hurt wildlife, with $3.8 million being slashed from the 1985 budget of the department's Canadian Wildlife Service.1 4 2—The RECORD—Friday, January 18, 1985 Tempers flare as crowding brings need for more French high schools MONTREAL (CP) — French-language parents are accusing the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal of giving their children a second-rate education as they tangle with English-speaking parents fighting to save their schools.“Here we are in the heart of Quebec and we’re being treated like francophones in other provinces," wrote two members of a French-speaking parents committee in a strident letter to Le Devoir and other Montreal nwspa-pers.“We’re like the blacks of South Africa.” The French parents charge the board's English schools are half-empty while its French schools are bursting at the seams.None of the French schools offer vocational or technical courses.“The school board is refusing to give us the same teaching and resources as they give the English sec- tor,” say the parents.The issue came to a head last fall with yet another announcement by the board that it must find more schools to house its burgeoning French-speaking population — and they will have to come from the English sector.The board, the largest Protestant board in Quebec, needs an elementary and a high school for next September for its French students and has narrowed its choice to six.Parents committees from each school will have to argue why their institution should be spared.A final decision will come Jan.30.STILL VIABLE What is making the controversy especially painful is that all of the English schools under consideration are still what the board calls “viable community schools,” but it cannot afford to build new French schools.Tempers flared at a meeting with the board last week as a crowd of 300 mostly English parents hollered, booed and chanted.They said they were fed up with what has become an annual exercise of trying to save their schools.“We will protest our closure to the last breath," vowed parent Georgiana Beal-Kish.Georges Halasz, one of the authors of the Le Devoir letter, said in an interview he understands the distress of the English parents.“It’s awful for a community when a school has to close.I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.” But he scoffed at English parents’ complaints that it will mean longer rides to school for their children.“What do they think our kids have been doing for years?” Since 1970, nearly 40 English schools under the Protestant board have closed, said David Birnbaum, board information officer.Of those, 17 have been turned into French schools.NUMBERS DECLINE English students still outnumber French students in the Protestant school board network but their numbers have declined sharply.In 1970 there were 59,000 English students and a mere 1,500 French, served by annexes attached to a couple of elementary schools.Now, there are 24,500 English students and 7,000 French.A board study says enrolment in English secondary schools will plummet by at least 40 per cent by 1988 while French enrolment will mushroom by as much as 300 per cent.The board says this could mean the closing of as many as 10 English-language high schools in the next five years.At the same time, it will need up to four more high schools for its growing French population.Colic smiled when he heard report of slaying MONTREAL (CP) — A retired football fan told a murder trial Thursday he literally sang for his life in an Ontario cornfield after being kidnapped by two armed men.Gilles De Grandpre said his abductors ordered him to “keep singing" after they allowed him to jump across a farm fence while they made off with his car.The only song that came to mind was O Canada, De Grandpre told a Quebec Superior Court jury, and he sang it at the top of his lung5 He identified one of his captors as Denis Colic, 22, of Woodstock, Ont., on trial for murdering Montreal police Const.Pierre Beaulieu and student Giovanni Delli Colli last Thanksgiving weekend.De Grandpre said he was driving home from a Montreal Concordes football game when two men leapt in front of his car — “one with a gun, another with one gun in each hand.” They commandeered the vehicle and headed into Ontario, he said.En route, Colic confided to De Grandpre that he fired three shots at a policeman and missed, while the second gunman said they were fleeing “a shooting incident.” As the car passed Toronto and news of the Montreal slayings came over the radio, Colic only smiled.De Grandpre said.He said he felt some relief for his fate when the accomplice told him: Colic’s trial in Court continues.The board has 34 English elementary schools and 17 English high schools.The French system has 15 elementary schools and two high schools.English and French high school students share facilities at two other schools.PASSED LAW Board chairman Allan Butler said the growth in the French school population was spurred in 1977 with passage of Quebec's language law, Bill 101, requiring parents not educated in English in Quebec to send their children to French schools.Communications co-ordinator Ron Paterson acknowledged the overcrowding in French schools and said there are empty classrooms in the English system.But he said the board has done the best it can.“Bill 101 thrust tremendous short-term pressures on this school system.We almost had to work from scratch to create a French-speaking sector." In the meantime, hanging over the controversy is the uncertainty created by Bill 3, passed last month to realign the province’s school system along linguistic rather than religious lines.The new law would abolish most Catholic and Protestant boards.The Protestant board is challenging the constitutionality of the law in Quebec Superior Court.“We will continue to plan as though Bill 3 did not exist," declared Butler.“Bill 3 is nothing as far as we are concerned and will go away." But parent Diane Nepton, whose children attend one of the schools over which the axe is poised, wishes the board would wait until the courts decide.“We’d like at least one year of grace.” “Stay quiet, there’s been enough shooting for now.” Before he was released.De Grandpre added, the pair said they were heading for Detroit.Earlier testimony told how Colic was arrested in Woodstock two days after the Montreal killings, in a house seige and shootout that left an Ontario policeman dead.Quebec Superior Royal Vic’s second heart transplant a 36-hour success MONTREAL (CP) — A surgical team at Royal Victoria Hospital successfully completed a 36-hour heart transplant operation Thursday on a 47-year-old male patient, a hospital official said.The heart transplant was the second in the hospital’s 98-year history.The first was in 1968.“The operation was very early in the day, due to the timing of the avai- lability of the donor’s heart,” said hospital spokesman Cecily Lawson-Smith.The patient’s identity was withheld at the request of the family.Many organ transplants are performed at the Royal Victoria, including hundreds of kidney transplants during the past 27 years.City sewage plants in bad shape because of the recession, inflation OTTAWA (CP) — Canada’s towns and cities are suffering from $12 billion worth of urban rot and need money from Ottawa and the provinces to stave off even more expensive repair bills later, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities said Thursday.And the federation, releasing a study of the state of municipal services, says increased democracy in municipal decision-making has helped sty- mie rehabilitation efforts.The study found the average age of sewage treatment plants is 13 years, of storm sewers, roads and bridges 20 years, of water treatment plants 23 years, and water mains and sewers are a creaking old crowd of 30 year-olds.The federation collected most of its data in a survey of cities of more than 10,000 population, where 75 per cent of Canadians live.It found that the re- cent recession, coupled with inflation in the 1970s, reductions in federal and provincial funding and “increased public involvement in decisionmaking,’ ’ have contributed to the erosion in municipal service hardware.HAVE TO CATCH UP A total of $12 billion will have to be spent over the next 10 years if Canadian cities are to catch up.And if the repairs are not done now, the bill later will be out of reach for many municipal councils, said federation president Doreen Lawson of Burnaby, B.C.Cities that have had their hands tied by tax-cutting crusaders now find that emergency repairs are more expensive than normal maintenance, the report says.“Worthwhile projects have been delayed unreasonably, or even cancelled, by vocal minorities,” the report says.Municipal administrators surveyed found that delaying tactics by pressure goups to be the second-biggest prpoblem in improving services after the lack of funds.Mayor Mike Harcourt of Vancouver, chairman of the task force that prepared the report, said funds to put the cities in shape can be found in existing programs.Besides, they will create 75,000 jobs a year in Canada and can help drive the hoped-for reco- very of the national economy.“We’re saying that if you want economic recovery, you’ve got to have healthy cities.it’s that important,” he said.The federation now will make its pitch to Ottawa and the provincial governments for more money.The first step is a meeting scheduled for Saturday with Finance Minister Michael Wilson.Bootleggers in the north careful who they sell to SASKATOON (CP) — Bootlegging is a thriving business, in northern Saskatchewan because there is “nothing to look forward to except getting drunk,” RCMP officers say.About 20 bootleggers are posing a “major problem” at the northern town of La Loche, Sgt.Bryan Heigh, head of the La Loche RCMP detachment, said in a telephone interview this week.Heigh, a 23-year RCMP veteran running Saskatchewan’s largest isolated post, said most of the town’s residents are on welfare “and there is absolutely nothing to look forward to except getting drunk .right now there are seven people walking past my office with nothing to do.” It’s not that everyone in the area is a hard drinker.Heigh said, but there are few government liquor outlets in the north and people “who are real drinkers will pay any price for it.” He said a 12-pack of beer, which costs $9.95 in the liquor store, commonly sells for $24 on the bootleg market in La Loche.Staff Sgt.Wally Strauss of the Prince Albert RCMP subdivision said bootlegging exists in every area of Saskatchewan but thrives in the north because of its remoteness.POLICE THWARTED Strauss and Heigh said bootleggers sell only to people they know and undercover police operations are rarely successful.Const.Dan Smith of Ile-a-la-Crosse said the closest liquor store to the community is 45 minutes away in Buffalo Narrows.Rather than drive that distance, drinkers “go to bootleggers.” Smith said a major portion of the detachment’s work in the community of 1,500, located 360 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon, is alcohol-related and linked to bootlegging.Sgt.Brian Gudmundson, in charge of the Pelican Narrows detachment, 420 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, said three known bootleggers do a steady business in the community of 3,000, which does not have a liquor store.Gudmundson believes bootlegging would exist even with a store because some people want liquor after hours.He said bootleggers stock up for special occasions, such as when family allowance cheques are due to arrive.“They prepare themselves for peak periods.” Ken Thomas, director of products and distribution for the Saskatchewan Liquor Board, said there should be more outlets in the north, but in most areas natives have voted to keep their reserves dry.Thomas said the north has 12 wet reserves, where alcohol may be brought in but not sold, and 14 dry reserves, where no intoxicants of any kind are permitted.George MacLaren, Publisher Charles Bury, Editor Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager Mark Guillette, Press Superintendent Richard Lessard, Production

‘agreement’ still up in the air OTTAWA (CP)—An announcement in Istanbul on Thursday that Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.had won a contract to build Turkey’s first nuclear reactor was treated with skepticism by a spokesman for the Crown corporation, who said AECL has not been officially informed of any decision.The Turkish energy minister, Sudi Turel, said a protocol had been signed and was being sent to AECL for construction of a 685-megawatt nu- clear station near Mersin on the Mediterranean coast.But AECL spokesman Denis St.Jean said such a protocol only assures the Canadian company of exclusivity in further negotiations.The deal is reportedly worth $964 million to AECL, which has not sold a reactor overseas for several years.The Turkish project, using a Candu heavy-water reactor, would take about six years to complete.It was reported in Istanbul that a joint company was to be formed, with the Turkish Electricity Authority holding 40 per cent of the shares and AECL and a consortium of other companies holding the other 60 per cent.“We haven’t received anything official from the Turkish government,” St.Jean said in an interview.“As far as we’re concerned nothing has changed.” He said the AECL trade office at Istanbul had not been informed either.The report from Istanbul said agreement in principle had been reached for a German firm, Kraftwerke Union AG, to lead a separate consortium to build a second reactor at the Mersin site.The reactor negotiations flow ip part from an agreement signed by Turkey dhd West Germany and Canada to co-operate in electricity production, industry, agriculture and health services and provide for an exchange of technicians and scientists.Quebec may follow feds with CPP premiums MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec will probably go along with the federal government’s plan to increase premiums paid to the Canada Pension Plan, Finance Minister Yves Du-haime said Thursday.Quebecers pay into the separate Quebec Pension Plan which funds the Yves Duhaime.Not a new matter.Caisse de depot, but contributions to both plans are equal and may be transferred back and forth as a taxpayer moves between Quebec and other provinces.“This is not a new matter,” Duhaime said.“It has been under discussion for the last two or three years and I think the Quebec Pension Plan contributions should be increased.” The official Quebec position will be announced in coming weeks.At present contributions to the two plans are 3.6 per cent of covered earnings to a maximum of $23,500.A report by the federal Department of Insurance projects that premiums will have to be tripled to cover the benefits that must be paid out.Duhaime told reporters that when the issue of increasing contributions-came up at Tuesday’s federal- provincial meeting of finance ministers, he couldn’t say what Quebec would do.Duhaime was named to the finance portfolio after Jacques Parizeau, who held the job for eight years, quit last November.Parizeau disagreed with Premier René Lévesque’s plan to back out of the Parti Québécois commitment to an independent Quebec.Candidates to discuss game plan QUEBEC (CP) — While 1,500 Parti Québécois delegates attempt to settle their strife over the independence issue at a special party convention in Montreal on Saturday, the provincial Liberals will meet eight blocks away to prepare their game plan for the next provincial elections.It will be the last general council meeting of the Liberal party before the March convention and a possible spring election Liberals have been quietly preparing for since their last council meeting in September.Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa said this week the selection of candidates for the coming election was underway, noting that a few “very interesting” candidates had already been selected.Some of these candidates will be on hand Saturday to discuss the party’s game plan, along with 400 party members, the Liberal executive council, two representatives from each riding and 30 representatives of ethnic communities.One of the main issues on the agenda is youth employment.A workshop headed by Jean-Claude Rivest, member for the Montreal riding of Jean-Talon, will deal with job creation programs for young unemployed.Weather Cloudy with flurries today, high -10.Overnight low -18.Outlook for Saturday — light snow.Accumulation over two days 5 centimetres.SNOWY MEUSSA JOHNSON

begin in this area Tuesday will use real equipment but simulated effects, "nothing more serious than what you see on June 24,” Brigadier-General Terry Liston assured reporters Thursday.The operation, which will be conducted in a 3,000-square kilometre area bounded by Plessisville, Prince-ville, Arthabasca, Notre Dam-de-Ham, Saint-Marthyrs-Canadiens, Brig.-Gen.Terry Liston, win.’ ‘We'll Beaulac, Disraeli, Black Lake and Saint-Ferdinand, will bring together soldiers from nearly 40 reserve and regular force units from Canada, the United States and Norway.Hotly questionned on safety by members of the regional media, Liston said “the whole operation will be extremely well controlled in all conditions it will create.” The only serious opposition to Operation Red Nose, Canadian Forces Base Valcartier’s annual winter exercises, came from a group of Victoria-ville young people, who claim they have a petition denouncing the war games with 3,000 names on it.Liston said he had heard of the petition but had not seen it.“In society there are always groups on the negative side.In our case, that’s less than 10 per cent,” he said, referring to a recent survey of 3,900 landowners in the region, in which 90 per cent agreed to allow their property to be used."These young people are opposed for ideological reasons only.I discussed it on community television and I am prepared todiscuss it again at any time.“1 can assure you they are not representative of public opinion.” Liston said the population’s overall reception has been “fantastic”.He also pointed out that there have been no deaths or serious injuries during any of the Valcartier winter exercises since the program began in 1976.Until two years ago, the exercises were held within CFB Valcartier.However, Liston said the soldiers soon learned the 180-square kilometre base too well for any exercise to be challenging.The area outside the base offers a larger territory and is similar to the terrain of Northern Norway, Liston said, where according to Canada's NATO commitment, the 5th Brigade would be called in the event of war.The games could also be called a practice run for planned NATO joint exercises with the Norweigian forces in their country in 1986.RED VS.WHITE The mock battle will pit a multiunit, white ‘home squad' against a one-unit, red and white ‘enemy’.Sound a bit lopsided?Liston says that enemy team is deliberately a “far superior force" than the home side.The home team is composed of nine battalions, regiments, squadrons and platoons, including the only anglophone battalion in the 5th Brigade: the 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment stationed at Gagetown, N.B.The enemy is none other than the Vandoos themselves, 3rd Battalion, Royal 22nd Regiment from Valcartier.One month from the end of this exercise, they’ll begin a six-month stint in Cyprus as part of the United Nations peacekeeping force.The good guys’ preliminary units will be transported to a home base’ near Inverness on Saturday, and the 'bad guys’ to a spot west of there.On ¦S-r* Plessisville from helicopter-pilot's-eye view.Residents should stay away from the games.RM ORI) ROHt KT PALMKR Sunday, main units on

Mayors of Sherbrooke, there are three lines that most readers would proabably just pass over without giving them a second thought.What the book says is that in No-vemberof 1952during Emile,1.Levesque’s only term in office the city put on its first annual chrysanthemum show in Howard Park.A moment in history which it is safe to say has been forgotten, even though the fall flower show continues today.What the book doesn’t mention is that the man who put on that first show, with its2,7QQ fjowerslftar*^ his trade as a youth ipJbe Austria Hungary empire at thetarn of the century.Tony Nikolaj turned 90 Thursday.His memory isn’t perfect but he still goes for walks on Sherbrooke's icy winter sidewalks, often through Howard Park, not far from his home.He remembers the park — he worked in the city greenhouse there for over 20 years.Turning 90 is not a big deal for Nikolaj, according to him.“What the hell.everyone gets old,” he says with a heavy Eastern European accent.But his eyes sparkle with pride when he tells people he was born in the last century.FIVE LANGUAGES He speaks at least five languages and the way he learned each one is a story in itself.Nikolaj was born in Hungary on January 17.1895 in the town of Presov, Hungary.His home was an industrial town the size of Sherbrooke today, he says.He was taught the flower trade there.“I learned about flowers in the old country,” he explains.“Everyone had to have a trade.I grew flowers.” Hungary at the time was part of the Austria-Hungary Empire under the Hapsburg emperor Franz Josef.When the emperor’s nephew and heir was assassinated in 1914 and the First World War broke out, Nikolaj was drafted and sent to fight the war in Russia.He was captured in Kiev and spent the next two years being shipped from town to town on prisoner work details.“Franz Josef — that bugger,” he says with a smile.“He live nicely with nice ladies and we must fight for what?For nothing!” Nikolaj was released at the end of Tony Nikolaj on his 90th birthday, emperor.the war.He returned home fluent in Russian, but home wasn’t the same.Franz Josef was dead and the victorious allies were carving the once-great Austrian-Hungary Empire into pieces.Presov ended up in Czechoslovakia.It was a new country with a new language for Nikolaj.He learned Czech — a fourth language on top of his native Hungarian and Slovak and his force-fed Russian.FREE COUNTRIES’ After the war, stories began to appear in newspapers about the ‘free countries’.One of them was Canada.Nikolaj had gotten a taste of travel during the war.Life wasn’ttoo good in his part of Europe — you were never too sure what country your city would be in when you woke up in the morning.It took a while, but in 1930 Nikolaj left “the old country” for the new one.He left behind a wife who would join him in Canada nearly 20 years later.Nikolaj got his first taste of a ‘free country’ the minute he arrived in Ca- RtCORD/PETHR SCOWKN He remembers the Austria-Hungarian nada.“He (the goverment) put me in the West,” is the way he says it.Maybe it was because he told an itn migration officer he grew flowers, but whatever the reason Nikolaj was sent to Manitoba to grow wheat.He still remembers the name of the farm he rented there; Rosewood Farm, 22 miles from Winnipeg.Perhaps it was one of the first things he learned in his fifth language — English.Dates are a little hazy to a 90-year old man who has seen empires come and go, but it was toward the end of the thirties when one summer day Nikolaj woke up to see what looked like a very low storm cloud moving in over his farm.It wasn’t weather: it was grasshoppers.In 24 hours 180 acres of wheat were destroyed.Nikolaj was wiped out.MOVED TO MONTREAL He moved to Montreal in 1938 and went to work for a flower company.His wife eventually joined him in the city and landed herself a good job as a secretary in a law firm.Pictures on Nikolai’s wall taken during that period show a handsome couple.Nikolaj remembers that part of his life fondly.“We didn’t have children,” he says.“We were too busy.” Their lives were changed one day in 1950 when a woman visited the company Nikolaj worked for.“A lady came looking for someone to take over a greenhouse," he says.“I said ‘I’m going to take over.’” The greenhouse Nikolaj conquered was in Sherbrooke.It belonged to George Car, as he recalls it, and it was near Blessed Sacrament Church.At the same time the City of Sherbrooke advertised for a man to take over its municipal greenhouse.Nikolaj had landed hirtiself two jobs.Tragedy struck two years later.Ni-kolaj’s wife died of cancer.He had waited nearly 20 years for her in Canada, and she was gone within five years of her arrival.They never had children.TRAGEDY That same year Nikolaj talked Mayor Lévesque into putting on the city’s first flower show.“The people like flowers,” he said.“I told to the mayor ‘Why not do something for the people who pay taxes.’ I started the exhibition here in Sherbrooke." Nikolaj worked at the city greenhouse for 20 years, retiring in 1970 at the age of 75.He had to come out of retirement for two years to train a successor: he was the only person who knew how to put 2,700 crysanthe-mums on display in Sherbrooke.Today Tony Nikolaj lives in a basement room in a house in the city.Upstairs is a Hungarian family who cares for him, preparing his food, which he says he pays for.“The meals are good,” he’ll tell you with a smile.And he has a lot of friends.Wednesday and Thursday Nikolaj couldn’t be alone for all the friends who came to wish him a happy birthday.Most of them are from the “old country” — there are four or five Czech families in the city that he knows of.“I’m a healthy man,” Nikolaj says.“Everyone is surprised at my age.” He leans forward, takes hold of your arm, knows what you want to hear.“Don’t eat too much, don’t drink to much, take everything just a bit and you going to live a long time." “One woman at a time?" a friend teases.Nikolaj just smiles — the same smile he gives you when he tells you it’s no big deal being 90 years old wing an attack, and damage control squads as an extra precaution to ensure no property is damaged during the exercise.Liston had a word of warning for curious onlookers.“I do not want people coming out to watch the operation," he said, “not because of any danger of being shot, but because of the possible of being hurt by the equipment.” On Jan.26, both teams will visit Saint-Fortunat, Coleraine, Saint-Ferdinand, Black Lake, Sainte-Sophie, Ham-Nord, Disraeli, Arthabasca, Princeville and Plessisville to let people see what the soldiers, equipment and supplies really look like.Like any large visiting group, the exercise will have an economic impact on the Plessisville area.Liston estimates about $200,000 will come in to the hands of local merchants.He said he has promised to buy all the fuel needed for the nearly 1500 vehicles expected, in addition to the patronage of restaurants and dépanneurs.So who does Liston think is going to win Red Nose ’85?“Well, the enemy is only one unit but it really is a superior force.“Still, we’ll win.” Summit changes venue, but what’s the difference?By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE — The Eastern Townships regional ‘economic summit’ set for late January has been moved out of Sherbrooke because of a labor dispute at the Le Baron hotel.„Now.it will take place at Compton’s Domaine St-Laurent — if it happens at.alL'j nt m>'’ *., [, The gathering has been billed as “setting the stage” for the economic rebirth of the region.But a big dark cloud hangs over it.The summit is set for Jan.28,30 and 31.Nearly a dozen top provincial cabinet ministers are expected to attend, and to bring their big chequebooks with them, ready to pour out the government bucks on several major regional development projects.The many proposals for Quebec assistance have gone through a thorough local screening and obtained the backing of local politicians.Among the projects which may get the go-ahead are everything from a regional museum of fine arts to a modern million dollar flight-control system for the Sherbrooke airport — en passant par le contournement Nord.But Quebec’s always-unpredictable political scene may get in the way.PQ MEETS SATURDAY The cabinet ministers, of course, are members of the ruling Parti Québécois.And after the PQ’s special convention Saturday, there may not be a government — or a party —- for them to represent.The PQ debate on ‘neofederalist’ versus ‘orthodox’ independence policies has been raging since autumn.The battle over whether or not to include clear-cut sovereignty as the number one party policy for the next election will climax Saturday — or possibly Sunday, if the ‘orthodoxes’ have their way.Most observers believe the party will either split in two, forcing an early election as the rival Liberals gain numerical control of the National Assembly, or seek a new leader after Premier and party president René Lévesque resigns or is forced out of his job.If the PQ breaks up, there will be no cabinet ministers to sign cheques at the economic summit.There will only be election candidates too busy hustling votes to spend threé dayfc fn Compton.¦ If the PQ stays together, the ^Vernier may well head for Old Orchard Beach next week to write his long-awaited memoirs, and the remaining ministers will be too busy taking sides in a leadership race or going after his job themselves.So what the rest of us would be left with would be a summit with no one at the top.CANCELLATION PREPARED Summit organizers, including some who work for the same provincial government, won’t talk publicly about it, but they say privately they have begun preparing contingency plans in case they have to cancel the whole thing at the last minute.In that case, say observers, the chequebook largesse would take the form of vote-persuading grantsmanship on a giant scale.The same money now set aside to be handed over at the sum mit would be given away during the next few months in the classic Canadian electoral style.Meanwhile, as they wait with bated breath for the outcome of Saturday's convention, the organizers have taken care of a problem of their own by moving from Le Baron to Compton.The Sherbrooke hotel’s workers have been trying to change their union allegiance to the militant conseil des syn cheats nationaux.Wednesday the workers issued a press release saying they do not wish to interfere with the economic summit, but that they think their working conditions are more important.Thursday summit organizers made the move to Compton.Friday everyone takes a break to regroup.Saturday the PQ meets in Montreal.‘Dead-end education’ system is obsolete in modern televised world Continued from page I have undertaken to provide education across the board.We have made public education accessible to everyone, but have not adapted methods to correspond to this new reality.“It is a wonderful thing we have done, mind you.In Quebec today some 72 per cent of all Quebecers complete a secondary education.We should be proud of that But times have changed in other ways as well.In the old days, it wasn't felt that edu cation beyond a certain point was nee ded for everybody in a primarily agricultural society.Most people tended to leave after primary school, leaving the high schools populated with the ‘best and the brightest’, if you will.“These young people were already highly motivated for the most part.By trying to adapt the old methods to the new reality we have only succeeded in lowering general standards This is, in part, one of the reasons we now hear complaints from universities that students applying for admis- sion cannot compose a grammatically correct sentence or paragraph or spell simple, everyday words.LANGUAGE CENTRALITY The Superior Council pays particular attention to the ineffectiveness of first-language instruction in the school system and says that increased emphasis must be placed in recognizing such language instruction as basic to the development of the student as an individual.“Schools should stress the centrality of language in the process and all teachers — not only language teachers, but chemistry teachers and math teachers as well, should recognize this and react accordingly ” The Council says that language is the basic tool by which information is exchanged, and a student who is unable to exploit a thorough knowledge of this tool will find himself forever at a disadvantage in the highly competitive, and rapidly changing job market beyond the school.“With the job situation the way it is and with the rapid development of technology, people in the future will not be able to continue in the same job functions throughout their working lives.” Rossaert says, “and this is why our education system must teach them primarily the ability to learn.“Schools should take full advantage of the technology available to them," Rossaert says, adding that in the present scheme of things “schools are working on a competitive basis with the media" in a hopelessly unequal battle.“A teacher with a piece of chalk standing in front of a blackboard.” he says, “is at a terrible disadvantage when compared to a well-produced television show, so the teacher, and the schools, should stop competing against technology and begin to use the technology to their own advantage.” IN THE PAST Rossaert says the reality of the modern world makes the old system of “dead-end education", where the learning process is viewed as something Lucien Rossaert.Teachers can't compete with t.v.with a beginning and an end, outdated, “A person can no longer function without a constant ability to learn," he says.“It’s everybody’s duty to take this matter in hand.Educators must be prepared to bite the bullet.Il I can use the old Truman expression, it is time for us to realize that the buck stops here.” Rossaert refers to a report published in the fall of 1983 on Teaching Conditions and says while teachers have an important role to play in the direction education must take, it is up to the rest of society to provide the support and environment conducive to allowing them to fulfill this role.“The approach applies to teachers from the other side as well,” he says.’’It is the opinion of the Council that teacher training can no longer be a sudden-death affair as it is now, where the average teacher spends a total of one or two years in training before embarking on his career.“The Council feels that the teaching system must provide at least two opportunities of at least one year each during his career for a teacher to go back to teacher training.At first this seems like an expensive proposal, but if the system could provide this, it would counteract any negative ef- fects by the positive effect on the quality of teaching it would necessarily encourage.From our consultations with them, we know that teachers are as much aware of the challenger before them as anyone, and they are wil ling to go out and meet them, but they need the support.The system must supply its own retraining.” Rossaert says the Council recognizes that the report appears to stress the failures of the system while underplaying the enormous successes that have been achieved in the field of education in the last few decades, but says the system cannot afford to stop improving at this stage of the game.“It is through the success of the system we grew up with that we have been able to develop the conditions that have now made the old system inadequate,” he says, “we must continue to face these challenges as they arrive.After all, we are talking about the most precious resource we have.We cannot allow it to go unused.” \ f 4—The RECORD—Friday, January 18, 1985 Bscunl The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Basically obsolete Unions seem to be doing more harm than good these days.They seem to be so full of themselves and so bent on making bosses pay for every conceivable expense that they cannot see the damage they are doing to themselves and to their country.Take Wabasso.It was once a thriving textile concern but the hard times and Third World competition that has affected a number of companies in the same industry were taking their toll.Production was down, production costs were up.Cotton prices were rising in the U.S., while the strength of the American dollar was making its Canadian counterpart look like play money.And all the time Wabasso was going through tough times it had to give its unionized workers a 2.8 per cent raise every quarter — 2.8 per cent every three months.The company never had a chance.The union bargained itself out of a job.A union pulled an equally self-destructive stunt right here in Sherbrooke this summer.Down to 300 employees because of financial problems, low sales, the recession, you name it, Ingersoll Rand Canada’s plant in this city is not what you’d call sound.Yet this summer the remaining workers went on strike for higher wages, among the other usual demands unions make.The plant was closed for over a month, nothing significant came from the strike and now it is more certain than ever that ‘the Rand’ will be gone forever from Sherbrooke in the near future.Maybe Ingersoll Rand headquarters will move its operations to Taiwan or some other country where it can exploit workers and pay them in a week what North American workers earn for thinking about turning up at their jobs.If it heard that the employees who are presently locked out at the Fédération des producteurs de lait in Longueuil are demanding that management pay for their car insurance because they can’t take the bus to work, Ingersoll Rand executives would probably start packing right away.At a time when Canadians need to become more productive in order to compete, unions are working in the opposite direction.They want Canadians to get more money for less work, when less for more is the only way to survive.Unions are basically obsolete in North America.They have effectively established that you can’t mistreat workers here, that you have to pay them decent salaries and give • them good working conditions.More and more, however, incidents like the Wabasso closing are establishing that unions cannot ask for too much without hurting their members in the long run.It’s nice to have a fat contract but you have to have an employer around who can carry out its end of the deal.If I were a member of a union, I’d be striking for better management, not higher wages.I’d want to keep my job.PETER SCOWEN Sweden pledges Wallenberg search STOCKHOLM ( Reuter) — Prime Minister Olof Palme marked the 40th anniversary of the disappearance of Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg with a pledge Thursday that Sweden would continue its efforts to find out what happened to him.Wallenberg, credited with saving tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews from Nazi gas chambers by issuing them Swedish passports, was last seen on Jan.17,1945 shortly after Soviet troops entered Budapest.The Soviet Union says Wallenberg died in Moscow’s Lubyanka prison in 1947, apparently of a heart attack.But successive Swedish governments and Wallenberg’s relatives believe he may still be alive in a Soviet prison.“We still have no clear picture of what happened to Raoul Wallenberg,” Palme said in a statement.“As long as this uncertainty remains, the Swedish government will continue to avail itself of every suitable opportunity to discover his fate.“Through heroic efforts he (Wallenberg) saved tens of thousands of lives towards the end of the Second World War and appears today as a symbol for humani-tarianism and the spirit of self-sacrifice.” Thursday’s anniversary was marked by a service in Stockholm Cathedral and by ceremonies throughout the western world organized by Raoul Wallenberg committees.In the United States, the bells of many churches rang 40 times at noon and in Melbourne, Australia, a statue has been unveiled in his honor.Wallenberg, who would be 72 if still alive, was sent to neutral Sweden’s legation in Budapest in 1944 with a mission to save Jewish lives.He set up safe houses for Jews and even dragged them from cattle trucks bound for death camps, claiming they were Swedish citizens.He was last seen travelling with a Russian officer and his driver to report to Soviet headquarters at the town of Debrecen.Wallenberg’s half-sister, Nina Lagergren, believes he was arrested because the Russians thought he was an American spy.She said the then Swedish government had not pressed his case so as not to jeopardize good relations with Moscow.“In those days the government obviously considered good relations with the Russians as more important than my brother’s life,” Lagergren said.“One could say that Raoul was a victim of Sweden’s policy of neutrality.” British Foreign Office minister Malcolm Rifkind met the diplomat's half-brother, Guy von Dardel, for 30 minutes Wednesday and gave him new evidence from underground Ukrainian church sources that Wallenberg was seen in a Soviet psychiatric hospital in 1962, Wallenberg Committee sources said.It is better to start small than not start at all Well whaddya know it's 1985 already! I suppose it will take us all another six months to stop putting a 4 at the end of the date on cheques and letters and start using the unfamiliar 5.Seems like just yesterday we discarded the 3, and in my case it was.Every year “New Years” seems to arrive sooner and sooner, I just barely get used to one year before kezango! it’s gone and I have to start getting used to a new one.When I was younger years seemed to provide full value - that is they lasted a full year.Now I find however that each year seems to “short change” us and the useable time left in our fiscal measurement gets shorter and shorter.I hear that is a sign that my fortieth birthday rode off into the sunset a number of years ago and is a common complaint in senior citizen’s homes.Of course it takes longer and longer to recover from the annual New Year’s Eve party too and perhaps that has a bearing on the whole thing.This year after vainly trying to convince those who were still awake at6 a.m.to drive up Owl’s Head and watch the sun come up, New Year’s day was spent trying to repair the damages to my body caused by my normal over-indulpence in beverages alcoholic.Someone told me once that a good dose of vitamin B is the best thing for a hangover-wracked body but one rarely keeps a massive supply of these tablets on hand.I decided years ago that since I wouldn’t have much vitamin B around, I would try Where the pavement ends JIM LAWRENCEW the next best thing, vitamin C.Now I have to agree that this theory is lacking somewhat in medical theory but we normally have something around the house that contains Vitamin C and I based my home remedy on that.Normally I choose tomato juice as the best Vitamin C carrier, I suppose because it matches my eyes, and try to consume as much of this thick, red fluid as 1 can, dosed with as much Worchester-shire sauce and lemon juice as I can comfortably fit into the glass.I’m not sure if it isn’t a phychological remedy as much as a physical thing but it certainly gets things moving again.I guess the shock of the concoction hitting my gastric organs is similar to “jump-starting” a stalled car.Anyhow it seems to work the same way, and besides all that I like tomato juice.Once my body has reached to point where it is just feeling bad, as opposed to feeling dead, the natural reaction is to take steps to make certain one never expe- riences the ravages of over-indulgence again.“Well I won’t do that again” we promise ourselves.“I won’t let alcohol past my lips again.I’ll joint the W.C.T.U.I’ll become a teetotaler.I don’t need booze to have a good time.Why do I torture my body like this?” Usually these good intentions last a day or so and once our bodies are back to as normal as we usually feel, we might slip in the odd beer or two, and eye the snake bite cabinet with a little less dread.That’s the way most of my New Year’s Resolutions used to go, lost in a cloud of good intentions and simple forgetfulness.I’d plan the things that I would do in the following year, say I was going to do them, and by the end of January have completely forgotten about them.Rather than continually feeling guilty somewhere around February I simply stopped making New Year’s Resolutions at all - solved the problem quite well, thank you.This year however watching my friends making their pledges, their hundred dollar smoking bets, and their great plans for 1985,1 was moved to contribute somewhat to the general air of regeneration that seems to sweep through the country every December 31.However rather than promising things which I might not be able to live up to, I decided to promise things I know I can do.Next year at this time I alone will be able to look back on my resolutions and say with pride.“I did it!” With that theory in mind, I publicly pro- mise to give up eating.camel meat.I promise that in the next year I will not touch, nor allow a morcel of camel meat to touch my lips nor tickle my epiglotis.This is absolute and my resolve in this matter is firm.The disgusting habit of camel meat eating is forever ended at my house.Be it served in stews, fried, roasted with doves and larks, barbecued or served creamed on toast camel meat is out.I also promise to stop getting so upset with the ramblings of Merritt Clifton and Bernard Epps when they talk silly about hunting and hunters.I’ll still write brief, cynical comments about their more foolish thoughts but I’ll stop kicking the dog and breaking the furniture.I promise to try and grow more hair and to look younger.I also promise my friends I will try to stop saying “Well heifer cow is better than no cow at all” and things of a like nature.(I said, “try”).And that just about does it for my New Year’s Resolutions.I work on the theory it is better to start small than not start at all.For those of you who may be wondering, the “Far Towns” are reunited, had a treat practice session, and will be appearing “live” (well, almost) at the Loft in West Brome on February 23, 1985.“Knimble-fingers” Cameron made all the arrangements for our first engagement since July - Columbia Records said they were definitely not interested in making a recording live in concert, and the entire C.B.C.tele-vison network will not be there to preserve the occasion on film.Tough luck for them !

WASHINGTON (CP) - As preparations begin for President Reagan's visit to Quebec City in March, Canadian diplomats report an upbeat U.S.mood toward Canada and the probable signing of Canada-U.S.agreements on salmon fishing and crime fighting.However, at a meeting Wednesday with Canadian media, Ambassador Allan Gotlieb also made clear there are some tough bilateral disputes that are going to drag on and acid rain seems to be one of them.And no matter how good Canada-U.S.relations are, continued trade squabbles are inevitable, Gotlieb said.Acid rain, trade and defence are among the i««ues that Prime Minister Mulroney and Reagan will discuss during the March 17-18 working visit to Quebec City.Gotlieb suggested the leaders will, if preparations go as planned, use the occasion to sign a treaty settling a long dispute over West Coast salmon fishing rights and could put the finishing touches on a co-operative crimefighting pact.Negotiators reached an agreement in principle last month on the treaty, designed to reduce each country’s fishing for the other country’s salmon, and are scheduled to meet this month to draft the final document that Reagan and Mulroney would sign if all goes well.A draft treaty written in 1982 collapsed after Alaska complai- ned about its share of salmon but no such protest is expected this time.The crime-fighting pact, called a mutual assistance agreement, would provide closer co-operation between Canada and the United States in catching and prosecuting criminals.Work on the agreement has been under way for about a year.Along with embassy economic chief Jacques Roy and political chief Jeremy Kinsman, Gotlieb portrayed general Canada-U.S.relations in upbeat terms attributed to the Progressive Conservative government’s election and foreign investment policies.They said Reagan administration officials do not want disputes with the new Ottawa government and the U.S.Federal milk OTTAWA (CP) — A new national dairy policy should be in place by Aug.1 but federal financial support for dairy farmers could be be cut by then, says Agriculture Minister John Wise.“The existing policy has worked well and the industry has survived some hard times quite well,” Wise, a former dairy farmer, said in a recent interview.There is no guarantee the $300 million Ottawa spends annually to support dairy farmers won’t be cut when Finance Minister Michael Wilson announces further government spending reductions later this year, Wise said.The national dairy policy governs production of so-called industrial milk used to make dairy products such as cheese, skim milk powder, ice cream and yogurt.Drinking milk con es under provincial regulation.The Canadian Dairy Commission, which regulates industrial milk production, was the first national marketing board with power to control production to keep prices from rising or falling too sharply.Farmers must have production quotas in order to produce and sell their milk to processors.The former Liberal government an- business community has shown a tremendous, positive reaction to Mulro-ney’s foreign investment policies.Altogether there is an improved political psychology toward Canada, they said.Referring to the Conservatives’ dismantling of foreign investment screening regulations and Mulroney’s invitiation to American business to invest in Canada, Gotlieb said: “It made a tremendous impression on the (Reagan) administration and I think it’s making a very big impression on business.It’s a very positive factor in the general political process as well as affecting individual investment decisions.” However, Gotlieb also said there nounced a dairy policy review in 1980, held a number of public consultations, and released some background studies.CONDUCTS REVIEW Wise said he wants his officials and representatives of dairy farmers and processors to conduct the review.Material from the original review will be considered.He said he set Aug.1 as a personal deadline to ensure a new policy comes about instead of becoming the subject of an unending study.Aug.1 is the start of a new dairy year.In the mid-1970s, the Liberal government proposed phasing out the $300-million subsidy over a five-year period.But the industry encountered oversupply problems and falling world prices for dairy products that left farmers with higher charges to dispose of their surplus overseas.The Liberals decided to maintain the subsidy.Inflation has eroded its value to dairy producers and it now accounts for about 14 per cent of their income, compared to about 25 per cent in the late 1970s.The number of dairy farms has dropped to 43,000 from 174,000 in 1966 when the national dairy program first started.Farmers are getting about has been no instant flow of significant new U.S.investment dollars to Canada, there are no signs of a major breakthrough on the acid rain question and trade disputes with Canada are going to continue this year because protectionist sentiment remains high in the United States.Among current trade troubles are a temporarily-suspended U.S.regulation that would disrupt imports of Canadian steel pipes and tubes, an attempt by American farmers to curb imports of Canadian hogs and a threat of a renewed battle against imports of Canadian lumber.Regardless of how friendly the Canadian and U.S.governments become, Gotlieb said trade disputes will the same volume of milk from one-third fewer cows.Meanwhile the price of dairy products has risen less quickly than the cost of food products produced out- OTTAWA (CP) — Opposition from farm groups to plans to terminate Ca-nagrex is predictable and won’t have any effect on the government, Agriculture Minister John Wise says.“Its (Canagrex’s) record was dismal and it would have never made any significant contribution to export sales,” Wise said in an interview.“I don’t want to hold out any false hopes to farm groups.” Both the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and the National Farmers Union have called on the government to keep the agricultural export corporation in operation long enough to prove whether it will benefit Canadian producers.And they want Canagrex executives to have the opportunity to appear before the Commons agriculture committee to explain what the agency was doing to find new customers for Canadian farmers.continue to arise “because they are part of the way the U.S.domestic sys-tem works.” “Whether it’s fish on the Atlantic coast or lumber or uranium or agricultural products, the losers and weak spots in the U.S.industry will continue to use the system to throw up regulations that interfere with the security of our access (to the U.S.market),” he said.Freer Canada-U.S.trade will likely be discussed at the Reagan-Mulroney meeting, but Gotlieb said while Mulroney will know what his objectives are, “1 don’t expect that he will be coming with a crystalline, highly formed position” on what approach the countries should take.side marketing boards, Wise said.He said key elements of the dairy program — supply management, import controls and the subsidy — will be kept.Finance Minister Michael Wilson announced in November the agency was being dropped to save the government $6 million.The actual savings will be short of that figure.$100 MILLION SALES But Canagrex officials say that by the end of March, when the agency is to officially disappear, it will have helped generate $100 million in new sales of Canadian food products.It started operation Jan.1, 1984.Wise said he will be having discussions with his officials on what help the government will be offering to would-be exporters and what is being done to wrap up sales started by Canagrex.Former Liberal agriculture minister Eugene Whelan said the agency would be able to do $500 million in business in its first year.UFA monopoly challenged By Peter Scowen SHERBROOKE - A small but growing organization based in St-Iboire is planning to take the Union des producteurs agricoles (UFA) to court on the grounds that its obligatory membership is unconstitutional.Marcel Lapalme, president of Union d’entraide aux agriculteurs du centre du Quebec, says his 300-member group has hired a lawyer in Drummondville and is preparing a case based on the Quebec Charter of Rights.Lapalme also says his group is ready to fuse with the Office des producteurs de porc du Québec (OPPQ) and the Association des cultivateurs du Quebec (ACQ) in the Gaspé region of the province.These two groups have 2,200 members between them and both are opposed to the UPA monopoly on farm organization in Quebec.Claude St.Hilaire, president of the ACQ, confirmed that he has been talking with Lapalme about a possible merger between their two organizations but stressed that “no decisions have been made.” He also said that talks were going on with other groups, including the OPPQ, to organize one big association that would be an alternative to the UPA.For the moment the UPA has a lock on Quebec farming.By law anyone who puts more than $3000 in farm produce on the market a year has to pay an annual $130 membership fee to the union.‘Joining’ the UPA is optional.It is also the only farm union in the province that can be accredited by the government.St.Hilaire, a pork farmer from St-Césaire, agrees with Lapalme that the law allowing the UPA to collect an annual fee from all farmers whether they are members or not is unconstitutional."It’s a law forming a monopoly,” he said.“We want the government to allow other farm unions to be accredited”.The goal of the fusion of various anti-UPA groups would be to form an organization big enough to pressure the government into changing the law, St.Hilaire said.Lapalme and St.Hilaire both said the UPA isn’t serving its members properly.Lapalme was a sector president in the St.Hyacinthe area for eight years before quitting in 1984.subsidies may be dropped next spring Canagrex finished — Wise CPC fund shrinking while population grows , OTTAWA (CP) -r- Business and labor grudgingly accept ^hat Canada Tension Plan premiums mùst rise significantly — possibly as much 300 per cent — but they warn that the increase must be gradually brought in over the next 25 years.Even the Liberal health and welfare critic, Douglas Frith, said he doesn’t object to an increase in premiums if the extra money collected is used, among other things, to extend benefits to homemakers and to allow for early retirement at age 60.Also, business says governments in turn must keep the lid on other so-called payroll taxes, such as premiums for unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation.Federal and provincial finance ministers agreed at a meeting this week that there must be a significant increase in premiums because of the strain being placed on the fund by the growing number of elderly Canadians and the expected decline in the number of working-age contributors.Wilson would not say what level of increase is being considered, only that it would be significant and would likely be brought in over the next 15 to 25 years.At present, premiums, half of which are paid by employers and half by workers, amount to 3.6 per cent of covered earnings above $2,300 and up to a maximum of $23,500 a year.People who are self-employed must pay the full premium.Quebec is the only province which operates its own public pension plan but it is expected that province will increase its premiums in line with any increases in the CPP.An actuarial report prepared by the federal Department of Insurance, which was the basis for study by the finance ministers, estimated that premiums would have to be increased by about 300 per cent to just under 11 per cent of covered earnings.The reason for the increase, according to the report which was made public in June last year, was that Canadians are having fewer babies, living longer and enjoying less afterinflation growth in their incomes.In other words, fewer people will be Quebec and Canada sign $100-million tourism deal QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec and the federal government said Wednesday they have signed a $100-miilion agreement to promote Quebec's tourist industry over the next five years, with each government picking up half the cost.The agreement, signed Wednesday, will be used mainly for grants to private investors, who will receive subsidies for up to half the cost of new tourist growth projects, a statement said.About $35 million will go to improving dowhill ski facilities, which will be encouraged to offer varied recreational facilities year-round.Another $15 million will be spent on market studies, promotion and administration Tourism generated 120,000 jobs and spending of $160 million in

will be drawing on it.The report said the fund will begin to shrink in 1993 and be exhausted by 2005 unless contributions increase.A 300-per-cent increase in premiums would mean that the maximum contribution per employee would increase to $2,278.80 annually from the current $759.60.Figures provided by federal Finance Department officials earlier this week put the current maximum contribution at $846, but failed to include the $2,300 minimum deduction.Each worker would pay a maximum of $1,139.40 — half of the new $2,278.80 overall maximum — compared with the present maximum of $379.80.Employers would pay the other $1,139.40 for each employee.Hardest hit by the increase will be small and medium-sized businesses which tend to be more labor intensive, said John Bulloch, head of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.He pointed out that labor costs for small business are more than three times the labor costs of large firms.But they’ve known an increase is coming for the last 10 years “because all the money we paid into the Canada Pension was lent to the provinces at better than market rates.” “We have been expecting a 100-percent increase in premiums,” he said.Bulloch said the former Liberal government was not honest with the public when it advocated increasing benefits under the plan without saying what money had to be paid out.“So the new government has been caught with the problem of hitting Canadians with the bill and of course the provinces are very happy to cooperate because they get all the money.” Although Bulloch agrees the increases are needed, he said they are an added tax on business and will drive more of the economy underground where employers operate on a cash basis to avoid taxes.INCREASE NEEDED Geoffrey Hale of the Canadian Organization of Small Business said it's been known for a long time than an increase in premiums is needed.But he said it is “bloody hypocrisy” for Ottawa and the provinces to be urging business to increase investment spending while dipping deeper into the pockets of business by increa- sing the pension premium levels.“The biggest question we see is not are we going to have to pay more to keep the Canada Pension Plan solvent, because obviously the answer is yes and we’ve known this for years,” Hale said.“The question is will both senior levels of government correct the utterly irresponsible financial practices which have made the problem a lot worse than it needs to be,” Hale said.The funds in the plan have been lent out at bargain rates to the provinces, which have wasted them on projects that should have been financed out of general tax revenues, he said.And they had shown they have no intention of paying those loans back.The provinces have been able to borrow money from the fund at the federal long-term bond rate, which is somewhat lower than they could borrow funds in the market.And as long as the fund had a surplus they have been able to continually roll-over their debt by taking out new loans.The fact that provinces didn’t want to lose that pool of cheap funds may account for the agreement among the finance ministers to push for an increase in premiums, said Bob Baldwin of the Canadian Labor Congress.The congress, which is the major labor group in the country, doesn’t oppose an increase in principle, Baldwin said, as long as it’s not a large increase imposed over a short period of time.Fifteen to 20 years would be appropriate, he said.Paul Kovacs of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association said the pension fund would be in big trouble if there was not a substantial increase in premiums.However, the increase should be implemented over 20 to 30 years, he said.Regardless, an increase in premiums, whether needed or not, will reduce the amount of money businesses have to spend on new job-creating investment and the money consumers have to spend.How much less depends on how much premiums are increased and over what period of time.The recommendation for an increase, with three options about how much and when, will be made by the finance ministers to their governments.RRSP y SHERBROOKE TRUST Info RRSP OUR RRSP» CREATE A LOT OF

keyed a three-goal burst in the opening 10 minutes but Montreal Canadiens’ 5-4 National Hockey League victory over Hartford Whalers was a struggle the rest of the way Thursday night.Hunter’s 12th and 13th goals of the season snapped a personal 10-game scoring slump.And along with Chris Nilan’s 10th goal of the season, they gave the Canadiens a 3-0 lead just past the midway mark of the opening period.As things turned out, the Canadiens needed every bit of that cushion.“We played well in the first 10 minutes and then we sort of let go,” said Hunter.“They got two goals and for a while we ended up playing the way they wanted us to.“We thought we’d have an easier game of it, but it was tight to the end.” The Whalers hadn’t won in their last three starts entering the game Thursday night, while the Canadiens were coming off an emotional 2-1 victory over provincial rival Quebec Nordiques on Tuesday night.“We weren’t aggressive,” said Hunter.“We just stopped skating.” As a result, the Canadiens had to withstand Whalers rallies in the last half of the first period and again in the third.Pierre Mondou, whose second-period power-play goal made it 4-2 Montreal, and Mats Naslund, whose breakaway shorthanded effort made it 5-3 midway through the third, also scored for Montreal.Bobby Crawford and Ron Francis scored first-period goals to move the Whalers within 3-2.Sylvain Turgeon and Greg Malone each scored third-period goals that cut two-goal Montreal leads in half.The Whalers pulled goaltender Greg Millen with 80 seconds left in the game, but couldn’t generate any chances with the extra attacker.Millen faced 22 shots in all.Doug Soetaert faced 26 shots in goal for Montreal.Super Bowl money: Where to put it ___—- .- -————vgtstfeet.* «°*: ;%i ** * P Dan Marino’s passing will lead the Miami Dolphins to a Super Bowl victory, one expert claims.Dolphins, because of Marino By Bruce Lowitt PALO ALTO, Calif.(AP) — It starts with Dan Marino — and that’s where it ends.Nobody has been able to cool off Miami Dolphins’ quarterback.Some of the best defences in the National Football League have tried and failed.San Francisco 49ers will be no different.They will have their moments.But so will Marino — quite a few of them.A 30-yard pass here, a 50-yarder there.Mark Duper on the fly.Mark Clayton on a crossing pattern.Tony Nathan over the middle.And the Dolphins will run, too.Woody Bennett and Nathan may not be Larry Cson-ka and Jim Kiick, but between them they rushed for 1,164 yards during the season and 214 more in the playoffs.But it all comes back to Marino and the men who protect him.In just his second pro season, Marino made a lot of people — well, a few, anyway — forget about Bob Griese, the quintessential Dolphin quarterback.He displayed supreme confidence, almost arrogance, in his ability to find any of perhaps half a dozen receivers slicing through the secondary and to fire or feather the ball to the open one — and someone is always open.He threw the ball more than any quarterback in the NFL, 564 times, and was sacked only 13 times.During the season he threw for 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns, both NFL records, and was intercepted only 17 times.All signs point to a shootout Sunday in Stanford Stadium.Final score; Miami 42 San Francisco 24.While another says Joe Montana’s unpredictability and the 49ers defence takes the money to San Francisco.Defence will win for Niners By Dave Goldberg PALO ALTO, Calif.(AP) — Cancel out Don Shula and Bill Walsh.Cancel out whatever edge Dan Marino and the Marks (Duper and Clayton), have over Joe Montana and Co., with the edge that Wendell Tyler and Roger Craig have over Miami’s runners.Cancel out Miami punter Reggie Roby’s margin over San Francisco’s Max Runa-ger, with 49er placekicker Ray Wersching over Dolphin Uwe von Schamann.What’s left?The San Francisco defence.The 49ers will win the Super Bowl.They will win because Ronnie Lott, Dwight Hicks, Carlton Williamson and Eric Wright will not be blown away by Duper and Clay- ton; because Keena Turner, Mike Walter and Todd Shell will stay with Tony Nathan and the Miami tight ends, and because Fred Dean, Gary Johnson and Dwaine Board will hurry Marino just enough.San Francisco defensive co-ordinator George Seifert has enough people to contain Marino — not stop him, just contain him.Make no mistake, San Francisco’s defence is better than that of Dallas—it hasn’t allowed a touchdown in the playoffs.The Miami defence has swung between good and awful this season.It’s been most awful against the run, which means it will be fodder for Craig and Tyler.But if the 49ers play to their standard and the Dolphins play to theirs, it should be : San Francisco 31 jjàami 27 (von Schamann misses an extra point).Anticlimactic game a masterful television orchestration By Terry Scott The Canadian Press Several years ago, Duane Thomas, the sullen and often silent Dallas Cowboys running back, was asked following the Super Bowl how it felt to play in the ultimate game.“If it’s the ultimate game, how come they’re going to play it again next year?” Thomas retorted.Perhaps because the Super Bowl got its name after Lamar Hunt, the father of the American Football League, watched one of his children playing with a super ball, most of us have come to expect that the game should have a certain oomph, something which provides hours of entertainment.Maybe we’ve been taken in, too, by the use of those Roman numerals to enumerate the latest installment of the football championship.Somehow, that conjures up visions of gladiators clashing inside a coliseum, with a wildly enthusiastic mob reacting to every movement.Certainly there has been enough hype and huckstery to fill us with grand expectations.Before Super Bowl VIII, for example, the National Football League held its pre-game party aboard the Queen Mary, and the media was so impressed that superlatives flowed like the fine wine they had imbibed in the days leading to the big game.DULL GAME What followed was perhaps the dullest Super Bowl on record, with Miami Dolphins defeating Washington Redskins 14-7.Only one touchdown was scored by the offence, and the Redskins’ touchdown came in the dying minutes, only after field goal kicker Garo Yepremian had an attempt blocked, and flustered, tried to throw perhaps the only pass of his life.It landed in the hands of Washington cornerback Mike Bass, who ran for a 49-yard TD.The fact that one, perhaps two Super Bowls could truly be consi- dered memorable, hasn’t prevented scalpers from getting $1,000 for a ticket to Sunday’s showdown between the Dolphins and San Francisco ’49ers.That’s because the Super Bowl is more of a status symbol, an exotic place one goes so he can return with breathless tales for the next-door neighbor.The event is so skilfully orchestrated by the NFL that even the casual fan is swept up by the hoopla, expecting the game itself to fulfill expectations, only to have things turn out like a Christmas made white by artificial snow.Maybe the venerable Vince Lombardi was right when he said before the first Super Bowl that “it has to have tradition, like the Green Bay Packers playing the Chicago Bears or the Detroit Lions.” NO RIVALRY There is no Yankees-Dodgers or, as it used to be, Leafs-Canadiens’ rivalry in the Super Bowl because as a sports’ cham- pionship it is really just beyond its infancy.Only twice, in fact, have two teams ever faced each other more than once — Washington and Miami, and Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers were common foe twice.Tradition aside, the Super Bowl might have staved off boredom if only so many of the games had not ended in defensive struggles.In the history of the Super Bowl, only one game — the 1979 contest between Dallas and Pittsburgh that produced more than 300 yards of offence by each club and a 35-31 Steelers’ triumph — has seen each team score more than 30 points.In a year where declining television ratings has brought understandable concern to NFL executives, Super Bowl XIX probably looms as the most critical since a brash Joe Namath brought some dramatics by leading the 19-point underdog New York Jets to a stunning victory over Baltimore Colts in 1969.It is a significant Super Bowl because all the elements are there to produce the scintillating show that has often been forecast.A Joe Montana and a Dan Marino filling the air with footballs figures to produce considerable offence, which in turn should lead to touchdowns.So much of the viewing audience on Super Bowl Sunday is the casual fan, piqued by the euphoria of the event.A game marked by continued down-field marches and the element of risk introduced by so many passes filling the air, could go a long way toward regaining some lost support.And if the game finally does approach the term “classic”, don’t feel short-changed because you weren’t on hand to see it.If Marino wasn’t playing in the game, he wouldn’t show up, either, he said.“Why not,” he was asked.“ Because the game is on television,” he replied.Fouls costly as Galt trampled by Séminaire Salesien ., .^ j - i_I ac.nc rru^.Rill M nnTTnnulH Phric Harm Galt Pipers hosted Séminaire Salisien in a junior boys basketball match on Monday and the visitors won easily, 72-38.The last time these two teams met, Séminaire dominated by a margin of 25 points.However, in the first quarter, Galt played with revenge in mind.The game was fast and physical.By the end of the quarter, Galt was in bonus foul shooting, which enabled the Pipers to force fouls and get points on the board.The Pipers had everything going their way but then centre Joaquim Basera got into foul trouble.In the second quarter Basora picked up his fourth foul and Galt coach Don Caldwell had to take him out.With Basora gone Séminaire scored 18 points to Galt’s two.The hosts made foolish mistakes and turnovers while the visitors capitalized on every opportunity.At half time the score was 38-24.Galt could have been closer but was unable to capitalize on foul shots.The team was two of 10 from the line.Early in the third quarter Basora fouled out and Seminaire’s lead grew.The Piper’s tried to remove a Séminaire player on fouls but failed Hughes Turcotte and Mario Trem- High School Roundup By Bruce Tracy blay both had four fouls but finished the game.By the fourth quarter defeat was inevitable for Galt.Howard Rahn came in off the bench and showed good defensive moves.He took a vicious hit on a charge, was slightly injured on the play and was forced to sit down briefly.Time ran out and Séminaire Sa-liesien came out on top.Their high-scorers were J-F Bruneau with 39 points and Turcotte with 13.Shane Chisholm netted 23 points for Galt while Basora could only manage four.^ In other basketball action, on Wednesday Galt hosted three teams from Stanstead.The first game pitted rival junior boys teams.Joaquim Basora’s true high-scoring talent shone as his 23 points led Galt to a 87-21 victory.Other scorers were Shane Chisholm with 17 points and Paul Tanguay with 12.Gary Bruce had eight points in a losing cause.The senior Piper’s started slowly but managed to come out on top, 58-46.Spurts in the second and third quarter gave Galt the edge.Nick Fitzsimmons led with 18 points followed by Tim Goddard with 11 and Carleton Cheal who had 10.Riad Salem hooped 18 points for Stanstead.In the senior girls game, Galt came out on fire going up 12-0 in the opening quarter.They led the whole game and won by a 29-22 margin, Alison Jarvis scored 12 points for the Piperette’s.Tina Barnes was high scorer on the losing side with seven points.Last Friday and Saturday, BCS hosted a four-team junior (midget) girls basketball tournament.On Friday, Hudson High beat Richmond 35-16 and BCS were 51-39 victors over Champlain School of the South Shore.Saturday morning saw Champlain conquer Hudson 50-38 while BCS scored 44 points to Richmond’s 24.In the afternoon, Champlain de- feated Richmond 45-35.The final game pitted Hudson against undefeated BCS and suprisingly, Hudson came out on top 34-27.Because of tie-breakers — points for and against — Bishop’s were declared tournament champs.The all-star team consisted of Cindy Toyota and Melony Sulla-vain from Champlain School, Elo-na Keeb from BCS, Tara Quin of Hudson, and Erica Brock from Richmond.Elsewhere, on Wednesday North Troy beat BCS batam girls 27-21.Mimi Rolland hooped eight points in a losing cause.Bishop's senior girls were winners over Thetford 46-37.Thet-ford’s junior girls also lost 46-15 to BCS.High scorers were not available for those games.In hockey action, the Stanstead senior team skated by BCS 5-3.Colin Mickie provided a hat-trick while single goals went to Bernard Fleury and Alain Savard.Scott Tinker netted a pair and Craig Stevens a single in a losing cause.Also on Tuesday, the BCS midget team was killed by Sherbrooke 8-1.On Wednesday, the BCS bantam team whipped Stanstead 7-0.Mario lanuzzi was creditted with scoring Bill MacDonald, Chris Hamelim.Danny O’Connor, Brian Dooling, and David Trower.The Alexander Galt hockey team returned home Wednesday after an exchange trip in Manitoba.A full report of that trip will follow.For now, here is a brief run down of how they did : The team played five games, winning only two.The first game saw Mike Chute, with two goals, lead the Piper’s 4-2 over St.John’s Ravencourt.Danny Cragg and Gary Boucher rounded off the Galt scoring.Carmen Collegiate doubled Galt 6-3 in the following game.Willie Brus, Steven Halsall and Boucher combined for the losing total.Against Mennonite Collegiate Institute, sureshot Mike Chute came through again as his four goals helped the Piper's in their 7-5 victory.The other scorers were Keith Lane, Gary Boucher and Alain Quirion.The team stayed in Altona where the host team of W.C.Miller Collegiate defeated them twice The first game was 6-2 with Troy Bean and Quirion picking up goals The following match was closer but Altona still won 7-5.Quiriou flipped in a pair while singles wen to Boucher, Cragg and Keith Lane The RECORD—Friday, January 18, 1985—9 Sports —____*81 UBConi Outdoors BY REALHEBERT A short season The start of the winter season in the Eastern Townships has been frustrating to those concerned with outdoor activities.Enough snow has been received in December and January to have a good ground covering.But the rain and abovenormal temperatures have melted away all that has fallen.All outdoor activities have been put on hold with the exception of one.Alpine ski resorts with snowmaking equipment were able to keep a few trails open.For those interested in cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiles and ice fishing, conditions are impracticable, until such time as Mother Nature graces us with more snow.Many weeks have been lost and the season will be very short.Temperatures were abnormal and disappointing to the sports person as well as the proprietors of winter resorts.They lost financially as the holiday season usually accounts for 30 to 40 per cent of their annual income.While the sports person stays indoors, amateur photographers used this opportunity to capture beautiful scenery.I also profitted by snapping a few pictures of exceptional quality which I will display at a photography exposition in the future.I am sure many others have profitted from what nature has given us over the last few weeks.The situation in the Laurentians and near Quebec City have been much better than here.Not only did they receive more snow, but they did not get the rain that fell in the Eastern Townships.This has given them a great start to the winter season./ The temperature over the last few days has allowed ice to harden on lakes.I would like to warn amateur ice fishermen to take extreme caution and verify the thickness of the ice before starting.If the ice is thin, a cold bath could result.Or worse, death.Unfortunately, each year such tragedies happen because fisherman are not cautious.Due to the zonage change last summer, lakes Brome and Davignon are now part of zone 5.In the past, fishing was permitted year-round, but now with the modifications in rules, lakes Brome and Davignon are under the same restriction as other lakes in zone 5.If we have the privilage of fishing on Quebec’s lakes, we also have the responsibility for environmental protection.Therefor, leaving rubbish on the ice must be stopped.The area must be left clean and free of all garbage.Starting Monday, January 21st, the Ministry of Leisure, Hunting and Fishing will accept reservations with lodging for salmon fishing at the St.John River Pavillion in Gaspe.Other places are Pavillions 12 and 30 of Jupiter River as well as La Loutre River Pavillion on Anticosti Island.For reservations, call toll-free 1-800-462-5349.On Saturday, March 2, reservations for day fishing on the salmon rivers operated by the minis-try will be accepted.Further to concertation between the Canadian Wildlife service of Environment Canada and the Quebec Department of Recreation, Hunting and Fishing, the public and the organizations concerned will be allowed an extra month, i.e.until March 1,1985 to put forward their recommendations regarding the Quebec Wildfowl Management Plan.Initiated on November 23, 1984, this consultation was to end on January 31,1985.This decision to extend the period of consultation should, in the view of representatives of both departments, enable a greater number of interested persons to submit their comments on this document.More than 360 Management Plans have been distributed since November 23rd last to various organizations immediately or remotely concerned with wildlife management.The latter will soon be receiving notice of this extension.As for those who have not as yet obtained this document, they can still do so by writing to one or the other of the following addresses: Director General, Quebec Region, Canadian Wildlife Service, P.O.Box 10, 100, 1141, Route De L’Eglise, Sainte-Foy (Quebec), GLV 4H5.Director General, Wildlife Directorate, Department of Recreation, Hunting and Fishing, 150

supposed to benefit both sides, a saying general managers in the National Hockey League desperately repeat when making player deals.It’s a fisherman’s tale, of course, because most trades usually swing heavily in one direction.For example, Toronto Maple Leafs benefited tremendously from the deal almost five years ago which brought them scoring punch in Rick Vaive and Bill Derlago from Vancouver Canucks.The Leafs gave up precious little in Dave Williams and Jerry Butler, both no longer with the Canucks.Vancouver also was taken to the cleaners in 1978 when the Canucks dealt towering defence-man Bob Dailey to Philadelphia Fivers for mediocre defenders Jack Mcllhargey and Larry Goo-denough.There have been some recent deals, however, worth close scrutiny because the teams involved are realizing huge dividends.An offseason deal between Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers has helped both teams after Edmonton received left winger Mike Krushelnsyki and the Bruins got pesky centre Ken Lin-seman.Krushelnsyki has been the near-perfect left winger for Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri, a forward capable of digging the puck out of the corner and a player big enough to jam the front of the net on power plays.SCORES 22 GOALS The six-foot-two, 200-pound Krushelnsyki, who had 25 goals for the Bruins last season, already has 22 goals and 46 points this season for the Oilers.Edmonton found Linseman expendable late last season when general manager-coach Glen Sather decided Mark Messier would help the Oilers more at centre than on left wing.Boston general manager Harry Sinden wanted to add some speed to his lineup after the Bruins were crushed in three straight by Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs last spring.Linseman has been even more valuable than Sinden anticipated.The Bruins have played much of the season without high-scoring centre Barry Pederson, sidelined early with a broken knuckle and now in drydock for the balance of the schedule after surgery on his arm for the removal of a tumor.Linseman has 14 goals and 38 points with added ice time in Boston, including two overtime winners eight days apart in December.Sinden has never been one to shy away from trades, having sent popular Phil Esposito to New York Rangers for Brad Park when the slotman had a few goals left in his magic stick in 1975.Sinden also obtained left winger Charlie Simmer from Los Angeles Kings after the start of the current season.Simmer was feuding with the Los Angeles management and Sinden recognized he still needed a big, strong winger for the Boston power play.Simmer has scored 24 times in 37 games with the Bruins, including seven with the man advantage.ACQUIRES MALONEY Buffalo Sabres have been on a roll since they acquired veteran Dave Maloney from the Rangers.He’s helped stabilize the defence and allows Buffalo to play talented Phil Housley at centre.The Rangers got a big winger in Steve Patrick from the Sabres and Patrick gives New York some strength along the boards to go with a bevy of Smurf-sized forwards.Quebec Nordiques have charged into the hunt for first place in the Adams Division with Montreal and Buffalo after acquiring defenceman Brad Maxwell from Minnesota North Stars to anchor the power play.Left winger Tony McKegney went to the Stars and has added scoring punch.Montreal and Winnipeg Jets didn’t gain much when they swapped wingers last summer, Perry Turnbull going to the Jets and Lucien DeBlois to the Habs.Both have just eight goals midway through the season.The Canucks gave up on Williams this summer, sending the NHL’s all-time penalty leader to Detroit Red Wings for Rob McClanahan.Williams has three goals in 41 games; McClanahan retired rather than report to the minors.Provincial championships are coming to Sherbrooke, Magog Jackass Two of the fastest roadraces ever staged in Quebec should take place locally this coming season — the provincial demi-marathon and 10-kilometre championships.The Federation Athlétique du Québec has awarded the demi-marathon championship to the University of Sherbrooke’s Demi-Marathon des Cantons, coming at the end of May, while the 10-k championship will be held at Magog on July 14.Both championship events will climax full cards also including 10, 5, and 1.6-kilometre races for the non-elite.The 12-year-old Demi-Marathon des Cantons was due for championship status, having become one of the biggest and best-respected events in the province.Magog’s championship status, meanwhile, is a coup and a challenge for organizer Jean-Marc Cyr.Cyr staged last year’s Magog 5-and-15-k card from the CHU cancer ward.Still battling cancer, Cyr returned to the CHU last week, acknowledging that he might not live to see the race he’s assembling.“I hope to organize early and leave everything in good order for whoever else takes charge,” Cyr says.To insure that all Quebec’s best runners participate, Cyr expects to charge elite runners $25 for entry, as opposed to $5 for the rest of us, but then pay them each $50 on completion of the race within a competitive time.The hometown TriMag club alone could field seven legitimate contenders—Christian Cote, Denis Morin, Ivan Simoneau, Pierre Fleury, and Daniel Bouchard of Sherbrooke, Joel St.Louis of Danville, and Joan Lavoie of Magog.Without cash incentives, however, the TriMaggers are notoriously reluctant to race against each other.Other major events already announced for 1985 include the Tour du Lac Brome 10-and-20 kilometres on June 30, and the Montreal International Marathon, coming September 22.Entry forms for the latter are already available from C.O.M.I.M., C.P.1570, Succursale B, Montreal, Quebec H3B 3L2, telephone (514) 879- by Merritt Clifton 1027.The entry fee remains a reasonable $10.Tour du Lac Brome entry forms should be available by mid-February.The sponsoring Brome Lake Runners are meanwhile busy organizing the Brome Lake Carnival three-miler, coming February 16.Send $5 for entry to Roger Page, Box 459, Knowlton.JOE 1V0.Late registration is $7 at Knowlton Academy.The gun goes off at 2 p.m.Entry forms are also now available for the Brigham St.Patrick’s Day 10 kilometres, coming up March 17.A Susan Sarrasin production, this features prizes in all the usual categories and — of course — free beer at the finish.$5 for advance registration, to Sarrasin, 300 Denison East, Granby, Quebec J2G 8C7.We’ve also received entry information on the Sri Chinmoy New Hampshire Marathon, coming up February 2.Since it’s being held at Hampton Beach, at the extreme southern tip of the state, it doesn’t look tempting — especially since all 26.2 miles will be run around a one-mile loop.Only the first seven men and seven women under 40 and first three men and women over 40 will receive certified times.But the price is right: $3 before January 27, $4 at 6:45 a.m.on race day.CONGRATULATIONS—to Leigh Costello of Noyan, belatedly named third prize winner in the women’s 30-39 division of the 1984 Franklin County Triple Crown series.Costello ran the Triple Crown legs in April, May and August, respectively, but the list of winners wasn’t published until January 10.which didn't bother her any because she'd had no idea she’d won anything.The Triple Crown awards go to the runners with the best cumulative times in the St.Albans, Enosburg Falls and Swanton races.Costello was the only Eastern Townships winner in ’84.Way down in quarterback country Jays manager optimistic VANCOUVER (CP) — Toronto Blue Jays field manager Bobby Cox predicts it will take 95 or 96 wins to capture the pennant in the American League’s competitive East Division in 1985.Cox made the comment Thursday after the Blue Jays finished a promotional tour of Thunder Bay, Ont., Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver.On the tour with Cox were third base coach Jimmy Williams, catcher Ernie Whitt and pitcher Jimmy Key.PITTSBURGH (AP) — Looking for a championship quarterback?Try western Pennsylvania, where Super Bowl quarterbacks Joe Montana and Dan Marino are the latest home-grown talents to emerge from this football hotbed “Western Pennsylvania has always been known for our rough, tough, rugged football,’’ said University of Pittsburgh football coach Foge Fazio.“Even everyday life in some of these towns can be challenging.“These towns are close-knit,” he added.This pocket of mill and mining towns has bred such outstanding quarterbacks as Joe Namath (Beaver Falls), George Blanda (Youngwood) and Johnny Unitas (Pittsburgh).Last year, Chuck Fu-sina quarterbacked Philadelphia Stars to the United States Football League title and Tom Clements led Winnipeg Blue Bombers to the Canadian Football League championship.Both are from McKees Rocks, Pa.Now it boasts of Marino and Montana, rated respectively as the two hottest passers this season in the National Football League.Montana was reared in Monongahela, a town of 5,000 residents surrounded by mills and mines 40 kilometres south of Pittsburgh.Marino hails from Oakland, a working class neighborhood.Last year with Miami Dolphins, Marino became the only rookie quarterback ever picked to start in the Pro Bowl.This season, Marino, 23, became the first NFL quarterback to pass for more than 5,000 yards and threw a record 48 touchdowns.He also passed for seven touchdowns in the Dolphins’ two playoff games and his four scoring passes and 421 yards against Pittsburgh last Sunday were American Football Conference championship game records.Montana is no ordinary Joe.He is the all-time leading passer in the NFL under the league’s complicated rating system.(Marino doesn’t qualify yet because he doesn’t have enough passing attempts).Montana, 28, quarterbacked Notre Dame to a national championship in 1977 and led San Francisco 49ers to their first Super Bowl crown three years ago.He’s made the Pro Bowl three times in the last four years.Both are blue-eyed glamor boys hounded for their endorsement power.But those who know them say that their Italian, Catholic, blue-collar roots help them handle success.“In any profession, you get out of it what you put into it,” said Marino’s father, Dan, a truck driver for the Pittsburgh Press Co.who often played catch with his son.“It’s been his life-time dream to play in the NFL.” Both pivots had to impress football-rabid, shot-and-beer fans who earned a living underground or could feel the heat of blast furnaces through their steel-toed shoes.SEES BIG THREE “Football around here is like a religion,” said Rich Erdelyi, Marino’s high school coach at Central Catholic.“There’s family, church and football.“These kids start playing in the midget leagues,” he added."By the time they get to high school, they’ve grown into their position.They grow up tough, but they’re good people.” Marino donated money to the high school last year, which Erdelyi said was used to buy rain capes for the team.“He never forgot where he came from,” Erdelyi said.At Ringgold High School, Montana wore No.13, the number that Marino now wears.The school retired it three years ago at a special testimonial.“He (Montana) was just devoted to sports and everything came natural,” said Paul Zolak, Ring-gold’s athletic director.“He kicked extra points and field goals and he was a good punter, too.“Quarterbacks around here aren’t prima don nas,” he added.“They win respect by performance.” The Blueshirts have 001 and 003 By The Canadian Press A bootleg New York Rangers’ program has been circulating in the cheap seats at Madison Square Gardens recently and is edited to include the nightly scapegoat at the club’s National Hockey League games.Thus, oft-maligned defenceman Wille Huber is listed as “VS-D” and coach Herb Brooks is listed as “Babblin’ Brooks.” The flip side of the program has a numerical system to help newspapers save space when repeating cliches from players and coaches.These include: 001 —We just came out flat: 002 —We’ve got to get 20 guys working together; 003 — We got beat in the corners; 004— We’ll be there in April.An interview would go as follows: Reporter: “What happened out there, Herb?” Brooks: “002,003.” Reporter: “Barry (defenceman Beck), what are your thoughts on the team?” Beck: “Bleepin’ 001, but 004, you can bet on that.” ?Mark Kirton of Vancouver Canucks is trying to carve a new National Hockey League image for himself as a scorer, rather than just a checker.The 26-year-old centre has eight goals since being recalled from the minors and credits his offensive improvement to a new stick and a new attitude.“I changed the lie (angle) on the blade of my stick, so I’m skating closer to the ice,” said Kirton.“That way, I can control the puck better and get more accurate shots on goal.“I’m also beginning to realize I can score,” he added.“For years, I’ve always been known as a ‘checking centre.’ The coaches used to call me that, the press used to call me that.I was always reading about it, so I believed it.” \n\ie^nrv Sa\e GUARANTEE 2 YEARS MODEL 85 20" Color TV with Remote control Choice of 2200 video films 4 programs/14 days, 8 hrs of recording, cable selector,

many other people are far worse.But the Scriptures teach no such justification.Being less a sinner is not reason enough to enter heaven.Committing one sin is reason enough not to enter heaven.In fact, the possibility of sinning is a corruption God cannot tolerate.If we carefully study the Genesis account of conditions in Eden, God was not testing Adam to see if Adam or Eve would do evil.God’s probation was that Adam and Eve continue to exercise their power to do good, to be fixed upon ‘good-loving’ (God-living) as creatures.It was Satan’s ploy to tempt creatures capable of changing, to do evil.The ‘Fall’ was a departure from pursuing God with the whole being; an apostasy.It was the choice to follow selfish desires, to disobey the good and be confirmed in doing evil.It was only a single sin but it cost the creatures life in Paradise.They immediately began to die.They immediately needed salvation from that one sin.Or, consider that salvation could only be ac-complished through Him Who knew no sin; not being sinful, thinking or speaking or doing anything sinful.God sent the sinless lamb of God to die for His people.Again, not a single sin permissible in the sacrifice for sinners.So, how is it we insist on playing some hypocritical game of the pot calling the kettle black?Being sinful is not a question of degree.2.It is'a Question of Heart By heart, we mean the nature of the man, not the blood pumping organ.Corruption in this part of the man is mortal ruin.Why?Because it permits evil.It inclines the man to sin.Thoughts and actions begin here.The judgment of Scripture is that the heart of all men is hopelessly corrupt, or desperately wicked (Jer.17:9).“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts.” (Matt.15:19).Christ judged the sin The children of the Sunday School at First Universalist Parish, of lust this way: “But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matt.5:28).It is not at all that a sinful heart cannot do things that, in themselves are good.But if a sinful heart did those good things, to that person those good things are only ‘splendid sins’.3.It Is a Question of No Escaping Ourselves Who would be so bold as to compete with the Apostle Paul for spirituality, or even morality?But Paul considered himself a sinner, one of the chiefest (1 Tim.1:15).In himself, Paul saw no good thing as a human creature.How is it we want to contend with Paul?.with Scripture?We will conjure up any brand of turpentine to dilute the paint for we cannot all of us be so black, can we?“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the heart, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen.6:5).The sinful heart has never left mankind.If we go to the depths of space, we will still be slaves to the sinful heart.People will take their corruption with them.4.It is a Question of Being a Child of the Devil It may seem unloving.It may seem ‘unchristian’.But, John ‘the apostle of love’ and the Lord Jesus Christ (Who is Love) were perfectly clear: “He that committeth sin is of the devil, for the devil sinneth from the beginning” (1 Jn.3:8).“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.for he is a liar, and the father of it” (Jn.8:44).To be sinful, people need only remain themselves: none righteous, all guilty and dying.To stop with sinfulness at heart is to come to one’s correct senses.It is to be convicted of the madness of sin.This madness is the divorcing of our will from reason.It is like being part of a crowd running over a cliff when any bystander can see the peril.To stop being sinful at heart, is salvation.Who can deliver people committee later this month to do something to change the world.from bodies and hearts of death?We thank God this is through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.The end of a sinful heart is the receiving of a new heart.For, the children of God have been given power and are born “not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (Jn.1:13).Rev.Ronald B.Stewart Eaton Regular Baptist Church Birchton

The Commission is satisfied that the proposed increase of 20( in the overall maximum total monthly fee for CANCOM’s eight television signal-package is justified on economic grounds.It further notes that, in accordance with CANC0M s initial commitment, it will continue to distribute Its authorized Canadian radio signals to its affiliates free of charge.The Commission considers that the unbundling of the fees for the distri-buiton of Canadian signals is in keeping with the concern expressed by the Commission in earlier decisions and notices.The Commission again empha-:izes that CANCOM’s primary responsibility remains the extension of Canadian broadcasting services to the more remote and underserved communities.Where may I read CRTC documents?CRTC documents may be read in the “Canada

Cable Distribution of Pay TV and Specialty Services.Previews and Stereo Audio Signals.Public Notice CRTC 1985-6.Previews: In public notice CRTC 1984-1 of 5 January 1984, the Commission authorized the cable distribution of pay television previews for a term of one year subject to limitations described therein.Since 5 January 1984, the Commission has received no evidence indicating that television broadcasters have been harmed by previews aired in accordance with the authorization contained in public notice CRTC 1984-1.On the other hand, there are indications that previews have exercised a positive influence on pay television subscription levels.Accordingly, the Commission authorizes the continued cable distribution of previews of Canadian pay television network services and extends this authority to Include Canadian specialty programming network services.These authorizations will remain in effect only as long as the cable television licensees adhere to the requirements as set out in Notice 84-1.Adherance to the requirements noted above will be reviewed with the licensees concerned at licence renewal time.Stereo Audio Signals: In Decision CRTC 84-4 of 5 January 1984, the Commission approved applications to change the authorized distribution of a number of broadcasting receiving undertakings by adding the distribution of pay television stereo signals oh their cable audio service.Decision CRTC 84-4 also contained the condition for the addition of these signals.In public notice CRTC 1984-124 of 28 May 1984, the Commission published a "Dratt ot ProposedReKjsipnstQite Cable Television Regulations!.an£i in public notice CRTC 1984-305 of 12 December 1984 the Commission announced its proposal to introduce new "Regulations Respecting Cable and Subscription Television Regulations".Subsection 16(4) of this proposal, which was set out in the appendix to the public notice, makes provision for the distribution of stereo audio signals delivered by Canadian pay television or music specialty services.Written comments on the proposed Regulations are to be submitted not later than 15 February 1985.Accordingly, the Commission authorized the continued cable carriage of the stereo signals ot the pay television networks and of the Canadian specialty music network service.This authorization is subject to the requirement that the licensee adhere to the provisions set out in public notice CRTC 1984-305.Previews of U.S.Specialty Services.Public Notice CRTC 1985-7.For related documents: see Public Notice 1983-228,1984-1 and 1985-6.In public notice CRTC 1984-1 dated 5 January 1984, the Commission granted cable television licensees authority to distribute unscrambled previews of Canadian pay television network services for a period of one year, subject to certain provisions set out in the notice including the requirement that such previews not occur during major national rating periods.In public notice 1985-6, the Commission authorized cable television licensees to continue the distribution of previews of pay television network services and to distribute previews of Canadian specialty programming services, subject to specific requirements set out in that notice.Applications have also been received from several cable television licensees for authority to distribute unscrambled previews of those U.S.specialty services which the Commission has deemed to be eligible for carriage by Canadian cable television licensees (CRTC Revised List of Eligible Non-Canadian Specialty Services dated ft June 1984).The Commission, therefore, invites interested parties to submit their views on this matter and, in particular, seeks comments on the following: 1.Should unscrambled previews of U.S.specialty services beallowed?2.If allowed, should they be treated differently from those of Canadian discretionary programming services?3.if so, what criteria should be applied?Submissions should be sent in writing, not later than 8 February 1985 to Mr Fernand Bélisle, Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa, Ont., K1A 0N2.In the interim, the Commission will consider applications for previews of non-Canadian specialty services on a case-by-case basis.Canada Canada FACTORY STORE Gloves for all the family G\o>,eS' Austin Glove Mfg.Co.Inc.1140 Panneton St.Sherbrooke SALE END OF SEASON 10* Italian Gloves
