The Confederation of National Trade Unions accepted the recommendation Sunday night shortly after it was tabled by two government conciliators who met with both sides over the weekend.Neither the company nor the union would release details of the conciliators’ proposed solution to the impasse over the fate of the workers charged after a disturbance at the plant last October.Company spokesman Guy Sar-razin said in an interview' that face-to-face talks have resumed with the union, “this time on monetary issues," and said he was confident an agreement would be reached soon.Pressure was on to end the st rike after the Canadian Wheat Board announced it would withdraw- a $38.6-million contract with Marine for new railway grain cars if a settlement was not reached by this Thursday."It’s a hot week" for the company, said Sarrazin.DEAL CLOSE?He said that the sides were close to an agreement on monetary issues before they broke off last March over the question of the seven fired Marine employees.The workers were charged with a variety of criminal offences including assault after a violent incident at the company plant at Sorel, 65 kilometres northeast of Montreal.The union had demanded the workers be rehired, but agreed to susensions for various lengths of time.The company refused.The 1,050 workers went on strike last August 7 demanding a shorter work week with higher pay and better pension plan while opposing the company’s request for more flexibility in assigning work.Marine, which is 65-per-cent owned by the Quebec government, has already lost $8 million in contracts.Premier René Lévesque suggested last week that a continued strike could cause the firm to shut down permanently.There have been other incidents.Management personnel have had their house windows blown out by shotgun blasts and riot police have been called in regularly to protect managers entering the plant.Three passengers released Shiites get prisoners if Israel doesn’t act

hostages of the hijacked TWA jetliner were released today at a news conference of a Shiite Moslem leader.But about 30 Americans were reported still held in scattered Shiite shantytowns around Beirut airport.The release came at a packed news conference at the house of Le-banon’s justice minister, Nabih Berri, leader of the dominant Shiite militia, Amal.Earlier, CBS News had quoted U.S.moves troops into critical area WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon was moving U.S.naval and marine forces into the Mediterranean Sea off Lelianon today in response to the hijacking of the TWA jetliner by Lebanese Shiite Moslems demanding the release of Shiites held prisoner by Israel.In addition, some of the elite anti-terrorist Delta Force troops have been reported sent to Beirut, although Pentagon officials refused to confirm that movement publicly.The aircraft carrier Nimitz and three escort ships cancelled a scheduled weekend visit to an Italian port and instead were rushed into the eastern Mediterranean, said Pentagon officials, speaking on condition they not be named.The escorts include the cruiser South Carolina and two other smaller ships, the officials said.In addition, three ships with 1,800 marines aboard cut short a scheduled port call in Gibralter and were steaming east today, the officials said Those marines comprise the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit, which was designed as a mobile, quick-striking force able to project U.S.power.The marines were aboard three ships, including the Saipan, the Nashville and the Spartanburg County, the officials said.Sources have confirmed that some of the Delta troops were moved during the weekend from their headquarters in Fort Bragg, N.C., but U.S.officials have refused to confirm a report that 15 U.S.soldiers had left Cyprus on Sunday for Beirut.The 80 to 90 planes aboard the Nimitz are the chief military option should President Ronald Reagan decide on using some type of force other than the Delta troops, the officials noted.WALDORF, Md.(AP) — Robert Stethem, the U.S navy diver killed aboard TWA Flight 847, was shot because the hijackers “needed to make an example of somebody, and he was a symbol because he was military," says his brother, who is also a navy frogman.Petty Officer Robert Dean Stethem, 23, was badly beaten and then shot in the head at Beirut air port Saturday by Shiite Moslem gunmen who seized the plane after leaving Athens for Rome with more than 100 Americans aboard.“He died for his country,” Kenneth Stethem, 24, said Monday.“And he died trying to save the people on that plane.We are all very proud of him." Navy officials said Stethem, whose parents also were in the na vy, came home for a few days two weeks ago before leaving for an as- Berri as saying that Roussos, his American secretary and another American would be released in a few hours.The secretary was identified as Pamela Smith.But the identities of the two released with Roussos were not immediately available.Berri is attempting to negotiate the release of the Shiite prisoners and an end to the ordeal of the hostages, who were aboard a TWA jet hijacked by Shiite extremists last Friday.He also was quoted as saying the hostages would be safe as long as he was in control.On Monday, he was quoted as saying he would return the hostages to the hijackers if the prisoners are not released.In Madrid, court sources said the trial of the two Shiites whose release is being sought by the Shiite extremists in Lebanon would go on as scheduled Wednesday.They are accused of wounding a Libyan diplomat last September, and the prosecution is asking for 36-year prison sentences for each.The gunmen who hijacked TWA Flight 847 are demanding the release of the two men and more than 700 Shiites from Israel.The Independent Madrid newspaper El Pais quoted diplomatic sources as saying the release of the two men held in Spain were only added to the hijackers’ demands after a representative of the Amal Shiite militia boarded the plane on its third stop Sunday.HELD NEAR MADRID The two, Mohammed Rahir Abbas Rahal and Mustafa Ali Jalil, are accused of shooting Libyan diplomat Mohamed Idris Ahmed in front of the Libyan Embassy in Madrid.Both are being held in a prison outside Madrid.The U.S.navy Monday identified the man killed by the hijackers on a previous stop in Beirut as 23-year-old frogman Robert Dean Stethem of Waldorf, Md.Stethem's body was identified at the U.S.air force base in Torrejon, Spain.Navy officials said Stethem’s body would be returned to Andrews air force base outside Washington late today.A warship cruised a few nautical miles off shore in the Mediterranean Sea early today, but its identity could not immediately be determined.Airport officials told The Associated Press today that three crew members were still aboard the plane as well as some passengers.Reporters in the control tower today said they saw three bearded men in the cockpit of the plane, but there was no sign of crew members or passengers.signment in Greece.“He called us from Kennedy airport and told us he was catching a TWA flight out and that he’d be back in a short period of time,” recalled Stethem’s father, Richard, who spent 26 years in the navy.Richard Stethem descibed his son as “a very good kid.” The elder Stethem called for steps to prevent more terrorism.The navy said Stethem inspected a sewer system at a U.S.air force facility in Neamakai, Greece, and was returning to hi:> base in Norfolk, Va., when the plane was seized.Kenneth Stethem, whosharedan apartment with his younger brother in Norfolk, said his family was told by Pentagon officials that Robert was “bound, gagged and blindfolded" while beaten by the hijackers.By John Valorzi TORONTO (CP) — Resigned to the end of Ontario’s 42-year Conservative dynasty, Premier Frank Miller said that a change in Ontario’s political climate will damage the provincial economy and create more unemployment.Only 24 hours before his minority government is defeated in an opposition non-confidence motion.Miller said Ontario companies could move out of the province when the Liberals take over, much the same way some businesses left Quebec when the Parti Québécois became the government in 1976.Miller told reporters an NDP-backed Liberal government and its imprudent, reform-minded policies will erode business confidence, destroy the province’s triple-A credit rating and slow job creation.“Governments make a difference,” he said outside the house after accusing New Democrat Leader Bob Rae of dictating socialism to Liberal Leader David Peterson, likely to become Ontario’s next premier.“Governments set an investment atmosphere, an aura of confidence and that is what causes investment and jobs ” To win NDP support to oust the Tories, the Liberals have promised a broad range of potentially costly reforms.They include tougher rent control laws, equal pay for work of equal value in the private and public sectors, a ban on extra billing and tougher environmental and labor laws.PROFOUND ARROGANCE’ Rae laughed off Miller's comments as those of a desperate politician trying to cling to power.He said the Tories have shown "profound arrogance ” by belie ving they have a divine right to rule Ontario.“No one believed Chicken Little in the end, and no one will believe Frank Miller,” Rae said.The 48 Liberals and 25 New Democrats are set to end the Tory rule at 5:45 p.m.today in a series of three votes that will pass a motion that the house lacks confidence in Miller’s four-month old government.Miller will then meet his 52-member caucus and cabinet Wed nesday morning before visiting Lt.-Gov.John Black Aird to formally tell him his government has been defeated.It will then be up to Aird to decide whether to call a summer election or ask Peterson to form a government, which most constitutional experts believe precedent compels him to do.Miller refused to say what advice he would give Aird.Earlier Monday, Miller said he had decided against a legal challenge to the NDP-Liberal pact.SEPT-ILES, Que.(CP) — Pensioners in Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s home riding of Mani-couagan remained skeptical Mon day despite his assurances that the “troubling" question of partial deindexation of old-age pensions will be re-examined.Mulroney would go no further, and many in the audience seemed disappointed.Mulroney got polite applause from the crowd of about 150 pensioners at the Pioneer senior citizen’s home after a speech defending the controversial proposal to trim increases in pensions contained in QUEBEC (CPI — The Quebec government will ask the Supreme Court of Canada to strike down a Quebec Court of Appeal ruling which overturned a law enabling the province to opt out of provisions of the Constitution.A spokesman for Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson said in a statement that the province will challenge Friday’s ruling, which overturned a decision by former Quebec Superior Court Chief Jus tice Jules Deschenes that the law, Bill 62, is constitutional.The appellate court struck down certain sections of Bill 62 and its use in a host of laws passed since 1982.Bill 62 was passed in 1982 after the Quebec government refused to recognize the 1981 constitutional accord between Ottawa and the other nine provinces which led to the patriation of the Constitution The law retroactively exempted existing Quebec laws from almost all provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Constitution.and ordered the same be done for future laws through use of the Constitution's so-called

judged,” he told reporters.the recent Conservative budget.It was the first time since the May 23 budget that Mulroney has addressed a group of pensioners on the issue.“Look what’s happening outside Ottawa, there’s no panic but a certain degree of serenity and understanding,” Mulroney, who did not take questions from his audience, told reporters later.But a number of those attending the meeting

fewer votes in the 1975 election under former premier William Davis.“We were allowed to carry on then, I think we should have been allowed to carry on now until the parties divided on issues.” Manicougan elderly promised study Quebec case to Supreme Court The load of the rings OTTAWA (CP) — Sometimes a person can be just a little too clever.The victim of many break-ins, a 55-year-old Ottawa woman who does not want to be identified, has for years kept a stash of valuable rings in a bag tucked into the hem of her bedroom curtains.Today the 12-year-old curtains are gone and because of a forgetful moment so are the rings.Thinking she had taken the rings out of the hem before she put up new curtains, the woman threw the old curtains in the garbage on Friday.While getting dressed to go out Friday evening she realized her blunder.She ran to the street, on- ly to find the garbage already gone The woman, her husband and daughter searched the regional dump in Nepean, Ont., for hours before they found the box in which the curtains had been packed.Everything was there but the curtains The woman thinks they were taken before the garbage was collected.I She says the missing rings are

three per cent a year or less would not trigger increases in old-age pensions.Increases of more than three per cent would be covered.“You haven’t convinced me,’’63-year-old Pierre Paul Lévesque, a retired construction worker, told Mulroney after his speech.“You would have convinced me if you had kept your promise to not give pensions to the Trudeaus and the Desmarais’, to the guys who don’t need it,” Lévesque said, referring to former prime minister Pierre Trudeau and wealthy businessman Paul Desmarais.where the province had to free itself from unwanted constitutional restraints.In April 1983, Deschenes ruled that while Quebec may have abused its “Parliamentary sovereignty" by passing Bill 62, the law was nevertheless constitutional.“Neither the extent of the legislation nor its alleged abusive nature can affect its legality,” said Deschenes.Victim a navy frogman « i 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, June 18, 1985 Police digging up more bones at survivalist group mountain site WEST POINT, Calif.(AP) — Police investigated two new sites Monday after a teenage boy said he had dug trenches for a survivalist whose mountain compound has already yielded piles of charred human bone fragments and clues to the disappearances of 25 people.Authorities also intensified a worldwide search for Charles Ng, alleged accomplice of dead survivalist Leonard Lake, and rejected a request for blanket immunity for Lake’s former wife, Claralyn Ba-lazs.In San Francisco, Deputy Police Chief Joseph Lourdan said investigators from San Francisco, Humboldt, Mendocino, San Diego and Calaveras counties met to “brainstorm” over evidence in the case along with FBI agents.The search of the 1.2-hectare cabin site in Calaveras County shifted to the two new areas after Scott Mosher, 15, told investigators he dug a 1.2-by-2.4-metre trench between two water tanks about 90 metres from the area where almost 20 pounds of bone fragments were located by dogs last week.Mosher said he dug another trench for Lake near a chicken coop behind the cabin.Investigators have found at least nine so-called “bone sites” on the property, along with evidence that some of the missing people may have been imprisoned, sexually abused and tortured in a cell-like bunker.The Calaveras County Coroner’s Office said Monday there is proof of five different bodies among the bones found so far, but noted the large number of bones strongly suggests more victims.Coroner Terry Parker has confirmed there are at least five and probably se- ven sets of remains.Authorities have identified only 14 of the 25 missing people they say have been tentatively linked to Lake and Ng.NAMED ON WARRANTS Ng, 24, may be the only person who can reassemble the macabre puzzle at Lake’s compound.The former member of the U.S.Marine Corps, who served a prison term for stealing machine-guns, has been named in state and federal warrants on charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, burglary and unlawful flight.Police in Canada and several other countries have been asked to be on the lookout for Ng.“We re following up leads all over the world, ” said FBI Special Agent Ellen Knowlton.“We’re just trying to catch this guy.” Ng was with Lake on June 2, but fled while South San Francisco police arrested Lake after a dispute at a lumber store.Lake, 39, swallowed a cyanide pill during police questioning and died June 6.Balazs said on the weekend she would not discuss the case further unless state and federal authorities granted her immunity from prosecution.Police have said she has cooperated with the investigation so far and is not considered a suspect.However, Lourdan said Monday there will be no immunity.Her lawyer, Stan Rozanski, hinted Sunday that there may be a link between the Lake case and the John Fowles novel The Collector.A character in the novel is named Miranda, and police say Lake chose the name Operation: Miranda for his plan to keep women prisoner.Fowles’ Miranda is kept prisoner by the book’s title character.Forensic experts check suspected Mengele body SAO PAULO (AP) — A body believed to be that of notorious Nazi war crminal Josef Mengele may have been mutilated before burial, Brazilian police said Monday.“There is a suspicion that someone may have tried to deform the cadaver,” federal police chief Romeu Tuma said at a news conference.Forensic experts from the United States, West Germany, Israel and Brazil are examining the remains, exhumed June 6, to determine if they belong to Mengele, accused of sending hundreds of thousands of Jews to their death at the Auschwitz extermination camp.The man believed to be Mengele drowned on Feb.7, 1979 while swimming at Bertioga, a beach resort 75 kilometres from this city.The body was buried in the town of Embu under the name of Wolfgang Gerhard.Some Nazi hunters have expressed doubts the body is Mengele’s.BONES BROKEN Tuma said the examiners reported accelerated erosion of the skeletal remains, “which is not normal.’’ He said some of the 208 bones unearthed were broken, in eluding facial bones.Marco Antonio Veronezzi, a federal police officer working on the Mengele case, said a small hole was found under the left eye of the skull.Investigators also discovered a hidden attic in the house on the outskirts of Sao Paulo where Mengele is believed to have lived from 1975 to 1979.Veronezzi said police found a 2.5-centimetre tube wrapped in aluminum foil, two .45-calibre bullets, vitamins and medicine in the attic.He said lab experts are analysing the contents of the tube “to see if it contains poison.” On Sunday, Brazilian and West German specialists dug up the grave and took bags of dirt back to the morgue, where the bones are being examined.Ayrton Martini, head of the police forensic unit, said, “Perhaps we can find bone fragments, maybe a tooth and perhaps an examination of the soil will help us find something.” Six teeth found in the coffin were examined for a second time Monday.Dental expert Carlos Valerio Filho said there is a “vague” similarity between the teeth and Mengele’s 1938 dental records, the most recent known to exist.Preliminary examinations have indicated the bones are those of a white male, over 60 years old and about five feet eight inches tall.The description matches Mengele, who would have been 68 in 1979.Hydro sings to tune of $8.5M for hiding report MONTREAL (CP) — Hydro-Quebec acted fraudulently when it withheld a technical report from a contractor and must pay creditors of the firm $8.5 million, a Quebec Superior Court judge ruled Monday.“There is overwhelming evidence of a conspiracy of silence and deception” by Hydro-Quebec, Justice Paul Martineau said in his ruling.Laprise Construction Ltd was awarded a subcontract by the Quebec government-owned utility in 1977 to do excavation work at its Abitibi substation.The firm went bankrupt after it ran into unstable soil conditions that were different from technical information supplied by Hydro when Laprise was granted the contract.Martineau said in his ruling Hydro knew the information was incorrect.“It was this camouflage, which continued for a long time, that was the cause of the firm’s misfortunes,” he said.Daniel Ayotte, a lawyer representing the Bank of Montreal, said the bank and about 125 other creditors will receive about $6.5 million from Hydro.The balance of the money will go to Laprise.Under the federal Bankruptcy Act, the company will be revived, Ayotte said.Overtime stint for MPs is not very productive OTTAWA (CP) — MPs worked overtime Monday, but their extra hours on the job didn’t produce much in the way of tangible results.The government, moving into the last days before the June 28 end of the spring sitting of Parliament, decided MPs should sit extended hours during the final two weeks so more legislation could be passed.Instead of the Commons adjour- ning at 6p.m., it will sit until 9p.m.The government had hoped the extra time Monday would enable the Commons to approve an $18.2 billion borrowing authority bill and possibly legislation changing old age security laws to boost payments to spouses.But MPs filled up the extra time with extra talk and by the end of the extended working day had passed no legislation.Weather Scattered showers, possible thundershowers in the after-noon.High 20.Low tonight 10.Wednesday: mainly cloudy,

an interview Monday that the crash illus-trates the dangers of using city buses for highway travel.“We need stricter safety standards," he said.“Every city has this problem.Selby released on bail MONTREAL (CP) — The mother of a 29-day-old infant who starved to death after being fed a diet of 2-per-cent milk and water was granted bail Monday by a sessions court judge.But Judge D’Arcy Asselin ordered the baby’s father detained.Aldo Zurlo, 19, and his estranged wife, Charlotte Selby, 21, have pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter, criminal negligence and failure to supply the necessities of life.In releasing Selby until her trial, Asselin said she had been under a “Rasputin-like influence.” Rasputin was a mystic who greatly influenced the royal court in the dying days of Czarist Russia.Firm wants PCBs destroyed MONTREAL (CP) — A second Quebec firm Monday joined the race for the right to get rid of the province’s highly dangerous PCBs.Sanexen International Inc.said it is awaiting Quebec government approval of plans to build a mobile PCB incinerator for $7 million to $10 million.Jean-Guy Soulard, president of Sanexen’s parent company, Sanivan Inc., told a news conference that it would take at least 10 years to destroy Quebec’s supply of known polychlorinated biphenyls.Lévesque names new ministers QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec Manpower Minister Pauline Marois became the new status of women minister Monday, while back-bencher Yves Beaumier was named minister of state for family policy.The womens’ affairs portfolio had been vacant since early this month, when Francine La-londe quit the post after losing a byelection in the Montreal riding of Bertrand to Opposition Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa.Referring to Beaumier’s appointment, Premier René Lévesque stressed he was not creating a new department.He said Beaumier will work with a small staff to prepare a policy on the family.Motion of closure on PS bill QUEBEC (CP) — A motion of closure was passed in the national assembly Monday to end study of a bill to reform negotiations between the government and public service unions.The government invoked closure last week after accusing the Opposition Liberals of “systematic obstruction” in assembly committee hearings on Bill 37, which eliminates the right to strike over money issues and sets up a government-union committee to study economic conditions and recommend pay raises for public servants.The Liberals denounced the government move, the ninth time the Parti Québécois has invoked closure since coming to power in 1976.Lévesque to lead Quebec team QUEBEC (CP) — Premier René Lévesque said Monday he hopes constitutional negotiations with Ottawa will begin shortly after the Fête Nationale holiday next Monday.Questioned in the national assembly by Opposition Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa, Lévesque also said he personally would be leading Quebec’s team during negotiations.Asked by reporters later whether he had reached a decison on quitting, he snapped, “You’ll know in due time, whenever, if and when.” Gov’t pays ambassador’s fees OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government has picked up the $2,300 tab for 16 day s’ hotel accommodation for the wife and daughter of the Turkish ambassador while their official residence was being repaired after a March terrorist attack.The decision was approved by cabinet last week and made public Monday.Three men of Armenian descent are charged with the first-degree murder of Claude Bru-nelle, a 31-year-old security guard gunned down outside the embassy on the morning of March 12.‘REAL’ women want funding OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government has been duped into funding “radical feminist” groups like the National Action Committee on the Status of Women while a group claiming to stand for strengthened families says it has been frozen out.Spokesmen for the group.Realistic Equal Action for Life or REAL Women, lobbied MPs Monday to support their positions, which include opposition to universal day care, abortion on demand and loosening of divorce legislation.They want Ottawa either to withdraw funding for all women’s groups or split the money equally with them.Conference ends without accord OTTAWA (CP) — Soviet bloc and Western countries ended a six-week conference Monday blaming each other for their inability to reach agreement on any proposals to enhance the compliance of 35 countries to the 1975 Helsinki accords on human rights.Differences among the factions at the conference were so great there was no joint statement issued at the end of the meeting to say talks had been held and to report progress.But almost everyone, whether from East or West, agreed that exchanging viewpoints had been useful in their continuing efforts to ensure countries obey the dictates of the Helsinki accords.Alliance members walk out OTTAWA (CP) — More than 200 Montreal members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada walked out of the first day of the union’s national convention Monday after president Pierre Samson refused to allow them to speak.“The grass roots wanted to deliver a simple message that we don’t want to give up the right to strike and we don’t think there should be any dues increase until we get a wage increase,” said Andre Senechal.one of the Montreal members.“But Pierre Samson would not give us a chance to speak to our own convention about the deals they have made with the government.” Girl fights for women’s rights TORONTO (CP) — The build of a woman's body should not prevent her from becoming a combat pilot in the Canadian Forces, a 10-year-old girl told a parliamentary committee Monday.Joy Swain of nearby Georgetown, Ont., wants “to be a pilot more than anything else.” She argued before the seven-member special committee on equality rights that everyone is said to be equal under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but the Department of National Defence discriminates against women.Alleged spy indicted Federal grand juries in Virginia and California on Monday indicted Arthur Walker, older brother of alleged spy ring mastermind, John Walker, and Jerry Whitworth, a retired U.S.Navy radio man and friend of the John Walker, on charges they conspired to pass military secrets to the Soviets.Whitworth, 45, was indicted by a grand jury in San Francisco, about eight hours after another grand jury in Norfolk, Va., returned a seven-count indictment saying Arthur Walker passed classified documents on navy ship repair to the Soviet Union.Three killed in ship fire MIAMI (AP) — An apparent explosion in an engine room caused a fire aboard a Mexican freighter, killing three crew members, injuring two and leaving two missing, the U.S.Coast Guard said Monday.Twenty-nine other crew members, including the two injured men, were rescued from the burning 145-metre freighter Puebla by a passing ship Monday afternoon, three days after the fire started, coast guard spokesman Dave Anderton said.- Trouble launching satellite CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.(AP) — With one satellite successfully deployed, space shuttle Discovery’s international crew turned its attention today to a second payload, which it may not be able to launch.A sensor monitoring the Arabsat communications satellite indicated Monday that a 1.8-metre solar panel may have opened prematurely, making a launch impossible.The astronauts planned to open a protective sunshield to inspect the satellite.Flogging cancelled due to protest KARACHI (Reuter) — Pakistani authorities have cancelled the flogging of a Christian couple convicted by an Islamic court of having premarital sex.The decision, announced Monday, follows city-wide protests and appeals.A government statement said Shagufta Masih and Ashiq Masih still face prison terms, however.Accord on refugees signed DAMASCUS (AP)— Leaders of Shiite and Palestinian forces signed a Syrian-sponsored ceasefire accord early today aimed at ending the month-long battle for control of three refugee camps in Beirut, Syrian officials announced.The 13-point accord was signed by representatives of the Shiite Moslem militia Amal and the Palestinian National Salvation Front during a meeting with Syrian Vice-President Abdul-Halim Khaddam, said the officials, who requested anonymity.Trudeau pen takes aim at Palm Beach segregation PALM BEACH.Fla.(AP)- Af ter a week of satirizing Frank Sinatra, Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau has penned an acid series that portrays this posh island town as a bigoted police state.The heart of the satire is a real city law titled Registration of Certain Occupations that requires waiters, bartenders, clerks, janitors, servants and other workers to be fingerprinted and photographed at the police station within 48 hours of starting their employment.The resulting identification card must be carried at all times, the ordinance says.One cartoon shows a black motorist, stopped by police, saying: “Pass card, officer?This isn’t Pretoria.” “No, sir, it’s Palm Beach,” the officer replies.“All hotel and domestic employees must carry ID’s.” The comparison to Pretoria, South Africa, has “no foundation of fact,” protests Palm Beach Mayor Yvelyne (Deedy) Marix.Under the South African government's policy of apartheid, or legal segregation, blacks must car- ry passes when they are in whites-only districts.Other Palm Beach officials also protested the cartoon."I would like to say that Mr.Garry Trudeau has missed the entire point of our ID card system,” said town council member Nancy Simmons Douthit, of the Simmons

fatal Rock Forest shooting of an innocent carpet layer in a bungled police raid told how he rendered technical assistance to detectives in the case.During two hours of testimony, Sherbrooke police Cst.Michel Martin recounted how he was called to photograph the body of slain Brink's Canada Ltd.security guard YvanCharland, who was killed by bandits as he picked up the day’s receipts from a Sherbrooke hardware store Dec.22, 1983.Martin said he was summoned early the next day to photograph a motel room in nearby Rock Forest where police believed they had captured the two men who shot Charland.Serge Beaudoin, a carpet layer from Quebec City, and his partner Jean Paul Beaumont were inside the room when police raided it just before 7 a m.Beaudoin died in a hail of police submachine-gun fire, while Beaumont was slightly wounded.Martin said he was asked to photograph Beaudoin’s body, adding he also photographed Beaumont in hospital.BELL CANADA OFFICE Police later ruled out Beaudoin and Beaumont as suspects in Charland’s slaying.The two men had been in Sherbrooke to lay carpet at the local Bell Canada office.Dets.André Castonguay and Roger Dion were found not guilty last October of criminal charges stemming from the incident.Charges against a third officer, Michel Sal-vail, were later dropped.The Quebec Police Commission hears complaints against police of- ficers and police tactics and can recommend disciplinary action.The hearing, held at the Sherbrooke courthouse before Judge Roger Gosselin and commissioners Judge Raymond Boily and lawyer Jacques Dufort, continues today.Judge Gosselin warned lawyers and witnesses before the hearing began that the police commission would “go much deeper than a coroner's inquiry, a preliminary hearing, or even a trial, and cannot be compared with them.” Cst, Martin's more than two hours on the stand proved that.Quebec Police commission member Jacques Dufort, president Judge Roger Gosselin and member Judge Raymond

(CB) - Mayor Cecil Dougherty says he will retire from council at the end of his current term in November.A figure on the Eastern Townships political scene since 1951, Dougherty says that lately there have been “too many mornings I wish I didn't have this job,” but he adds that “there hasn’t been a dull moment” since he first took his seat on Lennoxville council in 1951.In an interview Tuesday Dougherty said he has no regrets about the past and will leave the future of the Lennoxville mayoralty “up to the public”.“Whoever my replacement is, it will not be up to me,” Dougherty said, “it will be up to the public.” “There are a few names floating around, but I won’t be too much involved in it.” BEGAN IN 1951 Dougherty’s first stint on council began in 1951.He served for a decade straight before taking a break from the municipal scene Always a fervent fighter for the things he believes in, Dougherty changed direction in 1961.“For six years I got into federal politics as a Liberal,” running for member of Parliament for the sprawling rural riding of Compton-Frontenac, which has since been divided, with part in the riding of Megantic-Compton-Stanstead and part in what is now called Frontenac.In the 1963 general election, Dougherty recalls losing "by only 200 or 300 votes” to Créditiste candidate Henri Latulippe, of Lake Megantic.“That was in the days when the Social Credit were fairly important in federal politics,” Dougherty says.Discouraged with the federal scene, Cecil Dougherty returned to municipal politics in 1967, building a record any politician would be proud of.‘STRAIGHT THROUGH’ “1 came back as mayor,” he says, “and I’ve been re-elected straight through every time.” Tuesday he said he couldn’t recall exactly how many elections there have been between then and now.“Elections were every two years in those days; now it's every four,” he said “But there have been a few.” The feisty Dougherty has always been known as a ’hands-on’ politician, involved in every council decision, fighting for every inch.Although Lennoxville has only about 3,400 permanent residents, it has had a full-time mayor since Dougherty took the job in ’67.He was already taking phone calls at 7 a.m.Tuesday.Asked his age by an indiscreet journalist, he replied: “I’m 74, the same as Ronald Reagan.” “I don't know how he feels about it, but there must be mornings when he gets up and doesn’t want to do his job either.” “Like yesterday.” Dougherty.Sew mayor ‘up to the public’ Constant contact the key with voters — MNA Pierre Paradis By Laurel Sherrer COWANSVILLE - Liberals of Brome-Missisquoi got together Monday night to celebrate a highly successful fund-raising campaign both in the riding and across the province.“I am really happy with the fund-raising campaign we had in Brome-Missisquoi," said provincial Liberal riding association president Jean-Guy Choinière.“We’ve attained 133 per cent of our goal.I never could have believed that a few months ago when we started.” At the end of March, the association set the goal of $30,856 for the riding.Two months later, with at least one volunteer going door to door for each of the 133 polls, they had collected $41,065.“You have made the Quebec Liberal party strong enough to win the next general election, and to run the province for at least a decade," said MNA Pierre Paradis.On the road again Sherbrooke's oldest active fund-raiser, Trefflé Dumont, 89, is back on the road, this time on his way to Ste-Anne de Beaupré, where he hopes to arrive sometime next week.Dumont is on the march to raise money for diabetes research and treatment.He will spend his evenings entertaining at old-folks’ gatherings.He congratulated the workers on their success, but said the job is not finished yet.CONSTANT CONTACT “To win elections you have to keep contact with the electorate as constantly as possible,” he said.“The best way is for you to present yourself at your neighbors’ doors and sell the Liberal party and the Liberal party’s ideals.” He attributed much of the financial campaign’s success to the fact that the majority of the workers were women.“When they get involved in any project they do it not at 25 per cent, not at 50 per cent, not even at 100 per cent,” he said.“As this campaign has shown, they do it at 133 per cent.” André Bourbeau, co-president of the provincial campaign, called the association “a model of political organization,” and said he hoped the party would have the same dynamism when it comes to the election.“As you all know, we’re looking ahead to an election which was supposed to be this spring according to tradition, which will now be in the fall if there’s any decency left in this government,” said Bourbeau.WEEKEND RIDING’ “It now looks like we’ll be able to tackle an election on sound financial grounds,” he continued.Bourbeau, MNA for Laporte, calls Brome-Missisquoi his “weekend riding” since he has bought a house and 200 acres in Dunham.Province-wide the goal of the party was $3Vi million, but it managed to raise $5,200,000.Local party vice-president Bob Benoit said the financial campaign is a barometer of the public’s feelings toward the party.“It’s a good tool to evaluate where you stand,” he said.Benoit, who lives in Austin, was involved in the 1977 fund-raising campaign when about $12,000 was raised in the riding.“And it was like pulling teeth," he said.He said the organization of the whole campaign this year was “fantastic”.The Brome-Missisquoi Liberal association has 1600 members, 850 of whom were added to the list during the fund-raising campaign.f ull-time politician, part-time pastry waiter.Brome-Missisquoi Liberal MNA Pierre Paradis cut the cake Monday with the help of local financial campaign president Marie-Paule Marotte.A good

that English-speaking Continued from page I fellow told the assembled Sena tors.The result, Goodfellow said, is that young Townshippers are leaving the region because they feel there is nothing for them.The system desgined to keep them here has broken down.“Unless something is done a very natural evolution will lead to the disappearance of our community," she warned.LED DELEGATION Goodfellow and Townshippers executive director Cynthia Dow led a delegation of four young people from the region to the hearings, which were held in a Montreal hotel.The four were Wendell Hughes, Edwin Smith and Leanne De Outre, all from Lennoxville, and Scott Lowd from Bulwer.Hughes, 22, said there is very little information available in English at federal and provincial employment centres.That makes going there an unattractive prospect to a unilingual anglophone, particularly when they can get better service in another part of the country, he said “I think if information was available young people would stay,” Hughes told the commission, which is chaired by Senator Jacques Hébert from Montreal.Goodfellow and De Guire, 20, both complained that some federal manpower officers have been very discouraging as well.Goodfellow told of young, English-speaking people being advised to look for work in the U.S.“They got a more positive response in Quebec manpower offices,” she said.NOT AGGRESSIVE Goodfellow also said that federal employment officers aren’t aggressive enough, and don’t go loo king for students.Schools have to invite manpower workers before they will come to the classroom.“If the service is not overt it seems to be hidden," Goodfellow said.She complained that job programs, such as the ones provided by the Commission de la fonction professionelle, aren’t tuned into the employment needs of the Eastern Townships.Training courses offered to unemployed youths often aren’t geared to the region’s needs, no one signs up and the classes are cancelled.And again, information is usually available only in French and anglophones are left in the dark about what programs are out there, Goodfellow lamented.Another serious problem is that in Quebec there is a very low percentage of anglophone workers in the federal civil service.As well, in the Eastern Townships over half the English-speaking civil servants are 50 years old and up and are closing in on the retirement age.NOT GETTING JOBS Goodfellow said that should mean jobs are becoming available for young Townshippers.but statistics show that in the last few years, while anglophones are getting their fair share of referrals, only 3.7 per cent of available jobs are going to them Quebecers are poorly represented in the federal civil service has two unfortunate results,” says the brief the Townshippers prepared for the hearing.“It means that access to service in English and response to the needs of the English-speaking community are more problematic, and it means our young people are less likely to think of the federal government as a potential employer.” Senator Hébert said it was the first time he had heard of this problem.“I’m not happy with that,” he said.“It’s a question of fairness that we’ll have to look into." SCHOOLS NEED MONEY Goodfellow said schools aren’t getting enough government money to provide quality education to young people.The problem is aggravated in the Eastern Townships where enrolment has been cut in half in the last 10 years.Morale is low.“Because there is less mobility and fewer opportunities for a variety of work experiences, the qualities of dynamism and initiative among teaching personnel are being submerged,” the Townshippers brief says.This has put a damper on “new and innovative methods of teaching which could help young people find work.Schools should offer more courses which teach “‘general life skills", according to the brief, such as how to balance a chequebook or write a resumé.“Guidance counsellors don’t have time to devote to each and every studeni," Goodfellow said “And they don’t have time to communicate with the manpower institutions.” There are signs that the situation is improving, however.Dow said that a co-operative education program started at Alexander Galt Regional High School near Len noxville has given students the chance to get out into the working world before graduating.PLACES STUDENTS The program places students in businesses where they work for two weeks during the school year.“It gives students a chance to see how well they operate in the working language of the province," Goodfellow said Working in a second language is another of the factors which makes it harder for young Eastern Townshippers to find a job than other Canadians, she explained.De Guire would like to see more programs offered that teach young people how to start their own business.That’s is where many futures jobs will come from, she said.A major concern is that with all the unemployment in the region, little is being done to help young people who feel the pressure of being out of work The suicide rate in the Sherbrooke area has doubled in the last 10 years, according to the Townshippers Association.It has tripled in the province since 1950 The Townshippers brief says young people are subjected to pressure from all around — from their family, their school, their friends and from a world that lives with the “widespread fear of nuclear war, as well as devastation of this planet through pollution and excessive exploitation.” HEAD GETS CLOGGED’ Edwin Smith, 21 and umem-ployed, told the Senate commission that being out of work doesn’t help the situation.“You sit around too much, your head gets clogged up with bad thoughts,” he said.“You end up doing things you ddn’t want to.” Smith said the CLSCs are trying their best but just can’t communicate with anglophones.Goodfellow says there are no native English-speaking counsellors at any of the Eastern Townships provincial health centres, known as CLSCs.“English-speaking people c^n deal with being served in Fremji except in a tension situation,” she warned “In a crisis the nuances Of the mother tongue are lost.” ’ Goodfellow also told the commission there is only one social workdr at Alexander Galt.There is none at Richmond Regional.Although the federal govei-nment has no jurisdiction ovcCr schools and provincial health sei-vices, the Townshippers asked thé Senate committee to recommend that Ottawa put more money inti) job training programs and programs to help troubled youth.I After the hearing Goodfellow said the real solution to these problems is communcation.She said the various employment and counselling institutions need to talk to each other, and with employers as well so they are in touch with the job market’s needs.“People need to be talking a lot more with each other,” she said The Senate commission makes its last stop in Toronto this week Its report is due in October.\ mi \M ii Wendell Hughes, Leanne De Guire, Marjorie

the cause Yellow ribbons are once again blowing in the breeze.The ribbons were last wrapped about tree branches and mailboxes in the United States during the Iranian hostage crisis — hostages released the very day Ronald Reagan ascended to the throne.It was a development that promised a new era of success in American foreign policy and seemed to forecast the same for its new president.Now instead of the Ayatollah calling the shots, Lebanese Shiite Moslems have the guns in their hands, bearing demands for the release of 700 political prisoners on their sleeves.And they’ve released all passengers on the TWa jetliner they hijacked in Athens but the American citizens and an as yet unconfirmed rumour of a group of people with “Jewish sounding names” sent into seclusion during the weekend.The only casualty so far has been a young American frogman, beaten almost beyond recognition and then shot.Something is wrong here.And it’s not just the fact that a group of terrorists have taken the ‘law’ into their own hands.The decision to commit such an act is not taken lightly.But the decision to allow all prisoners their freedom but those of a particular nationality is more difficult and even more telling.This is not a defense of terrorism.Whether the use of innocents as chesspieces in the political games of kings and queens and their lowly pawns is not the debate here.It is the target of the aggression that needs to be studied: Israel and the United States.Most noticeably the United States.The American people should take their heads out of the sand and think about the implications of being singled out on the international scene as is happening now.Such hatred is cause for alarm.Reagan calls himself the protector-saviour of democracy and law-abiding countries and peoples throughout the world.Obviously someone out there doesn’t agree with him.The Great Nation Which Could Do No Wrong is once again faced with a crisis situation many of its citizens will not bother analyzing as a desperate last-minute attempt at raising the often all-too low visibilty of those who feel they have have been mistreated or ignored by the American government and, by extension its often sheep-like populace.If the Americans are the victims of international terrôrism, they should perhaps pay more attention to.the cause.ELEANOR BROWN From other papers.Montreal La Presse: Marine Industries has hinted recently it is considering closing its plant in Sorel, about 65 kilometres northeast of Montreal, where employees have been on strike for almost a year.Company spokesman Guy Sarrazin said 400 jobs will be lost for seven months if the strike isn't settled by June 20.And another 225 jobs will disappear for eight months if the strike hasn't ended by July 2.There is a definite possibility that the plant could close.Even though the union has called for the management of Marine to resign, the fact remains that Marine can’t continue to lose contracts indefinitely and hope to remain open.Logic will soon dictate that the government, the main shareholder in Marine, must close the plant.But that must not be allowed to happen.Why?First of all, the company's assets stand at about $40 million.Neither the Quebec government's General Investment Corp., which has 65 per cent of Marine's shares, nor the remaining shareholder, the French company Alsthom Atlantic, is rich enough to lose that amount of money.Secondly, Quebec can t afford to lose such an important industry as shipbuilding.Despite heavy foreign competition, shipyards in Quebec attract a lot of investment.which the province badly needs.But the most important reason for ensuring Marine’s survival is the Sorel area itself.The company, with 1,700 employees when the strike began, is crucial to the region .Jean-Guy Dubuc(June 12) Trois-Rivieres Le Nouvelliste: Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's Conservative government has already lost a lot of popularity since it came to power nine months ago.One poll, conducted in April before the federal budget was brought down, indicates that the Liberals have reduced the difference in popularity between themselves and the Tories in Quebec by 11 per cent since last September.The budget, which has been soundly criticized in many circles, w ill certainly not increase the government's popularity .Also, the many examples of patronage and conflict of interest that the Liberals and the NDP have brought to light will further undermine the credibility of a government that presented itself as the great defender of justice .Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s brother-in-law got an important advertising contract from the federal government, while Justice Minister John Crosbie s two lawyer sons have done government work on behalf of their father's department.Although the Conservatives certainly didn't invent patronage, one has to go back a long time to find such a blatant case of conflict of interest as the one Crosbie was involved in.Mulroney, who promised during the election campaign to put an end to patronage, actually defended Crosbie in the matter Yet government rules are very clear: a minister must not give preferential treatment to a friend or relative or a firm in which a friend or relative has an interest.After specifying that any minister caught in such a conflict would have to resign, howcan Mulroney excuse and even defend Crosbie?The honeymoon the Tories have enjoyed with the pu blic is in danger of ending shortly —- and rightly so.Sylvio Saint-Amant (June 6)_____________________ Should be more educated as to handicapped The letter I am about to write will be quite lengthy, but I have to get this off my chest, and hope it may spur some of your readers to open up with their opinions.We have all, at sometime in our lives, blown soap bubbles, watched a beautiful bubble grow and suddenly burst.This is the only way I can express how I felt W'hen I read “Cowansville Citizens Oppose Handicapped Home”, in the Record of May 16th.I was thoroughly upset by the misled things Mr.Whittal “claims" to have heard.1 really thought Mr.Whittal, past teacher of some of my children and someone I respectED very much, had more sense than to repeat such things publicly, unless he had a leg to stand on.I think he should be more educated as to what “handicapped” means.This could be a person with deafness, blindness, speechless, one who is armless, legless or with any of these parts of the body partially missing or malfunctioning, as a person termed ‘mentally handicapped” or “retarded” is a person who has a malfunctioning brain, which affects parts of his/her body or may make them a slow learner.They are not people to be feared or to be shunned, but to be given more consideration, love and recognized as a "friend in need".I cannot believe that with the intelligence of Mr.W.and his William Street neighbors they can honestly believe they will be invaded by these handicapped people, “looking in their windows and taking their clothes off”.Good grief! these are people, human beings, in our living society, taught Commentary By Barbara E.Harvey right from wrong as any of our people in our civilized world of today.When these young men and women go into group homes they have earned the right to live there.They have been in a training centre and have been taught to care for themselves, do their own laundry, prepare their own meals, make beds and keep their apartments or rooms neat and yes, mow lawns and take care of their garbage.No doubt they have learned and are more responsible for doing them than the tutored, so-called well-bred collegiales and well-dressed kids of the society field.It really turned my stomach to read on about their concern for their “property values and invasion of property”.One may find that their new neighbors may stop and stare and wonder about something they haven’t seen before and they might try to speak to them somewhat incoherently, but it’s only because they are curious to learn and want to be friendly.Stop, take a minute and explain or say “hello” or give them a smile.I’ll guarantee you’ll get a smile back and whatever you have explained to them, they will not forget, and you might feel better towards your own “sense of values”.Put high fences?(as was suggested in the article).A good idea, but not for keeping the handicapped residents from the “elite district of the William Street mansions and ranch houses” but rather to keep them from the new residents on 214 William St.They are the ones who need to be protected from the likes of such unfeeling neighbors.No, you’ll never find anyone with more politeness, more friendliness, more willing to be of help or with more love for his fellowman than a handicapped person.Ask me how I know everything I have written to be true?Well, it’s certainly not hearsay or something I’m “claiming” to know about.I am the mother of one — who by the way attended Heroes Memorial Elementary School in Cowansville (where Mr.Whittal teachers) — and who, unable to learn in a regular school, went to the Dixville Home, a Residential Training Centre for the mentally retarded, where he stayed for eleven years, where he went through the training, where he went into a semiindependant living quarters, sharing an apartment with two others like himself, worked in maintenance, paid his share of the rend and food, and did all the things I have mentioned.We’ll be eternally thankful for the caring people who trained him, because for the past year he has been sharing our family life once again and all because of what he was taught, and we care about him and do not cast him out.We are not concerned that our 389-acre farm will lose its value because he is now living here.He is very capable and is a very big help doing various farm chores and does them well.His biggest problem is not being able to read, and has often voiced his wish to be able to.God willing, maybe someday we ll be able to get him spe- cial help for this.The willingness is certainly in him, if we can.I feel a big vote of thanks is due Mr.W.D.Duke for what he is trying to do for the handicapped in the Cowansville area.A great injustice was done him by the insinuations made in the article and most assuredly would I hope to see a public apology made to him.I have not had the privilege or been fortunate enough to meet this gentleman, but I'm sure anyone who will support and speak out for those unable to speak for themselves, must be just that, a gentle man.We need many more Mr.Dukes with his kind of help and support and kind heart and a lot less of those who sit and criticize and stir up heartache for those who cannot fend for themselves, and we parents who want everything possible for handicapped children as well as our normal children.I am.In all sincerity, BARBARA E.HARVEY, Dunham, Quebec P.S.I’d just like to add for those Cowansville residents who are so concerned about their properties loosing their value, and being disturbed about “creating a ghetto for the M.R.C.by having too many group homes”, could learn a great deal by visiting the little town of Dixville, near Coaticook.There, the town residents work with and for and accept their mentally handicapped.They too, have nice homes.In my opinion this is one of the neatest and well-kept small villages in our beautiful Eastern Townships.B.H.Letter How can women make things happen.?Dear Editor, Perhaps a recent experience I have had with the CBC can shed some light on the issue of whether equal rights should be promoted by the media.(“Promoting Equal Rights Impossible-Broadcasters", Friday.June 7th).The CBC, our own national news network, did not find the recent NAC conference in Ottawa (May 10-13), worthy of a national broadcast.NAC, (National Action Committee for the Status of Women) is the largest lobbying group of women in Canada, voicing the concerns of a large percentage of the Canadian population.Because of their poor economic status, women as a collective experience go- X CaUGHT HIM §TeaüNG,$iR/ *1 Al* " -rau-: , ; i AYe,aYe, %\R! ¦ tûf n «CKV MT'N vernment policy differently and voice different concerns than do average, secure, middle-income men.If the level of political activity at the NAC conference was not high enough to merit news coverage, then there is obviously very little, probably nothing (of a civilized nature) which would qualify as newsworthy from an interest group.When I called the CBC in Toronto to ask why the NAC conference was not priority news, this is the answer I received: “We weighed it and analyzed it (the news footage) and decided that no news was made.Women have been speaking out like this for 16 years and nothing happens.” How can women begin to make things happen without the recognition and respect of our national media?A lot did happen at Parliament Hill during the NAC lobby session; women responded to new laws and policies of crucial concern to them, such as the new budget.Of course no new laws were made on the spot, but specific issues were addressed.I think more people should be able to see and hear the responses of our government officials and NAC members at these annual lobby sessions.If in some peoples’ opinions women have been re-hashing similar issues every year, then maybe it’s about time more people listened so that such long-awaited change could have a hope of taking place.In my opinion, the media is the greatest power in this country : it decides what we are exposed to, what we learn from day to day Consider the extensive news coverage of Jewish reaction to U.S.foreign policy at Bitberg recently; a lot of energy was devoted to this interest group.Why was NAC, an interest group representing a huge portion of Canada’s population, ignored as it voiced its objections to govenment policy?Perhaps women are not even recognized as an interest group at this point in time.If so, then this country is sadly very far behind its so-called ideal.The media has the power to make women visible, to make them heard.Only when women are honestly represented on a much wider scale in the media, will society actually be working towards its openly declared ideal of sexual equality.For this reason (an example of just one interest group), it is imperative that broadcasters be obligated to promote equal rights.However, I think the word “promote” is easily misinterpreted by broadcasters.The issue at hand is equal opportunity.Because women are not usually occupying the places of power in this country, their views are not heard.Equal news coverage of political events involving the voice of women, is in fact promotion of equal rights.The action taken by the CBC reinforces the fact that although our society publicly avows its dedication to sexual equality, many of the most influential people in this country do not care to work towards that goal.Sincerely, LINDA GINTOWT Lennoxville U.S.scripts new ending to Vietnam disgrace NEW YORK (CP) Subtly—m parades, at the movies and on television — the United States is refighting the war it lost 10 years ago in the jungles of Southeast Asia.Only this time, America seems determined to win.Americans have already done their share of remembering this year, observing the Second World War victory in Europe and the U.S.withdrawal from Vietnam But still ahead for Americans are the 40th anniversaries of the atomic bombing of Japan and victory in the Pacific, as well as the 35th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War.For all the controversy surrounding President Ronald Reagan's visit to the German cemetery at Bitberg last month, the United States is having little trouble coming to terms with the many victories it had scored in its 209-year history.But accepting its single loss in Vietnam — despite exhaustive media retrospectives, and all the memorials, fireworks and ticker-tape parades finally recognizing the sacrifice of its veterans — seems to be be coming harder and harder, as Reagan’s “new patriotism’’ mounts as a political force.In California, former antiwar activist Tom Hayden now a state assembly member was labelled “a traitor" when he spoke against a resolution calling the Vietnam War “a noble and honorable defence of liberty." In parades around the country, veterans of the war for years denied recognition and proper compensation for their personal losses arc suddenly receiving praise rather than pity, while the war’s two million Viet Larry Black namese victims go virtually unmentioned."For too long over the last decade too many Americans have confused the soldier and his mission,” the New York Times said in its Memorial Day editorial."Some let resentment against our most recent war turn into neglect of Vietnam veterans and disrespect for the military."(But now) others are trying to claim the belated tributes to Vietnam's warriors as support for the war itself" HISTORY, FILM STYLE Perhaps the best gauge of evolving American public attitudes towards the war is to be found in the success of new Vietnam movies such as Sylvester Stallone's Rambo: First Blood Fart II and Chuck Norris’s Code of Silence — two current box-office hits very different from the harrowing American disgrace films of the 1970s, Apocalypse Now, Coming Home, and The Deer Hunter.Both Rambo and the Norris movie, and recent segments of TV shows like Magnum, P I.and Airwolf, are about going back to Vietnam, nominally to rescue U.S.veterans listed as missing in action but believed — by some American conservatives, at least—to be still held by the Vietnamese.But all three films, as reviewers have pointed out, are essentially about revenge.“Sir, do we get to win this time?” is Rambo’s question when he’s sent off undercover into Vietnam to find the MIAs.Rambo grossed $32.5 million (U.S.) in its first six days, the third highest in box-office history.“These nçw Vietnam films don’t deny that the war was lost,” writes Times critic Vincent Canby.“That’s not possible."Instead they restart the war that, they say, the United States Government fuddy-duddies would not allow to be won 10 years ago.This time they score decisive, totally fictitous victories." Whether these POWs are real or a fiction, writes Time magazine reviewer Richard Schickel, “they have been pressed into the service of a dangerous popular fantasy, which is that by saving them, a galling defeat could belatedly be turned into a symbolic victory." Of absolutely no interest to these films, Canby points out, are how the United States got into the war, or why the public reacted against the involvement — and the soldiers who found themselves fighting it.“Though these movies talk about giving credit, at last, to unsung heroes, they are far more committed to changing history by adding new chap- ters to it," he says.The lessons of war, some critics argue, have been lost in the outpouring of guilt over the treatment of the Vietnam vets.“If the lesson of the 40th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe is ‘Never Again’,” suggests the liberal weekly The Nation, “then the message in many of the celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of America’s withdrawal from Vietnam seems to be ‘Wait Till Next Time’.“After a brief period of unpopularity produced by military defeat — not moral compunction — the generals, the diplomats and the intellectual apologists of the Vietnam intervention are back in favor and in power.” One tongue-in-cheek critic of Reagan’s “new patriotism" argues that much of this national selective forgetfulness around the Vietnam experience is the result of abandonment of national selective service in the United States.“We can see the results of a draft-free America all around us,” suggests journalist Pete Hamill in the current edition of Mother Jones magazine.Beyond forgetting the essential lessons of Vietnam, he says, there is “the bizarre militarism and hypernationalism that mark the attitudes of many Americans, notable the under-40 ‘Yuppies." “Safe, soft, well-paid American white men watch television and now growl about the need to invade Nicaragua," he says.I don I think these armchair nationalists would be so brave if they were the ones obligated to do the fighting.” 4 Farm and Business The RKCORD—Tuesday, June 18.1985—5 —___tel «Beam Stumpage fees may hurt Canadian wood under proposedU.S.law WASHINGTON (CP) — Legislation aimed at curbing Canada’s $2-billion-a-year exports of lumber to the United States has been introduced in the U.S.Senate by Montana Democrat Max Baucus.The bill is identical to one introduced in the U.S.House of Representatives by Florida Democrat Sam Gibbons, chairman of the ways and means subcommittee on trade.“Neither he nor I are wedded to every sentence in this bill but both he and I feel strongly about the principle,” Baucus said when he introduced it in the 100-member Senate last week.Both bills are designed to protect U.S.industry from imports of natural resources that are subsidized by foreign governments.Both single out Canada’s lumber industry but also cover trade in such goods as cement, ammonia, gasoline and petrochemicals.The bills would loosen the definition of a subsidy in current trade law so that more goods would be subject to countervailing duties designed to discourage imports.Canada’s stumpage fees — the prices charged by the provinces for the right to cut timber on Crown land — would be classified as a subsidy.Canada, which captured more than 30 per cent of the U.S.softwood lumber market last year, has been lobbying against congres- sional efforts to curb the imports.Diplomats, government officials and industry representatives have expressed growing concern about the efforts.A variety of anti-lumber bills have been introduced but the Gibbons bill has caused the most concern because it seems to have the best chance of any of being passed That view was reinforced with introduction of the same bill in the House.Baucus introduced a bill earlier this year that would impose a 10-per-cent tariff on Canadian softwood lumber imports if Canada does not change its stumpage system.In a news release he said he is optimistic the House will approve a companion to the Gibbons bill “Some of the increase in Canadian market share is a function of the high U.S.dollar,” he told the Senate.“But some of the increase comes from the decision by Canadian provinces to use stumpage — the right to cut timber — as part of their employ ment policy.Low-cost stumpage is part of a plan to keep mills operating."In the United States, however, we set stumpage through auction.The difference is great enough to allow British Columbia’s companies to undersell U.S.companies from Georgia to Maine to Montana to Washington state.” Commodities trade war coming?Agricultural analysts have been raising the spectre of an international trade war in farm commodities for years.Every time a trade dispute comes up, some analyst somewhere is willing to predict a worldwide trade shootout between the major food exporting countries.Now those predictions of cut-rate export prices, towering tariff walls and quotas no longer ring so hollow.The fight is between the United States and the European Economic Community.The United States is the largest exporter of agricultural products, but European farmers, backed by a vast array of subsidies, have been extremely successful in opening up new markets around the world.The U.S.government, angered by the European export successes, has set aside $2 billion over the next three years to subsidize the sales of its farm produce abroad.Under the program, government-owned grain and dairy surpluses would be given away as a bonus to buyers of American commodities.The program is supposed to be aimed only at former American markets taken over by the Euro-prean Economic Community.But that's like pin-point bombing with atomic weapons — the Ameri- IFocus on Farming can program will probably also affect a lot of bystanders.In the grain sector, other major exporting countries such as Canada, Argentina and Australia are already predicting lower world prices because of the U.S.program.The reason is that the Europeans surely won’t let their new, hard-won markets slip away and will likely cut their grain prices.A succession of bumper crops worldwide compound the problem.For example, the London-based International Wheat Council estimates that world production of wheat will reach 522 million tonnes in 1985, topping the record 519 million produced last year.The Canadian Wheat Board has repeatedly told western farmers that all it can do in the face of U.S.and European export subsidies is to cut the price of their grain on international markets.The wheat board’s long-standing policy has been that selling grain at low prices is better than letting it collect dust in farmers' bins.Unlike Washington, Ottawa has said it doesn’t have the money to pay export subsidies.In Melbourne, Leslie Price, head of the Australian Wheat Board, has said the U.S.program may cut world grain prices by 25 per cent.“Washington claims it is attacking only the EEC, but it does acknowledge there will be rippling effects,” says Price.“Tidal wave is perhaps more appropriate.” • A record 57 billion kilograms of milk was used in the United States last year and an American analyst believes the consumption of dairy products will continue to rise.Robert Jacobson, an agricultural economist at Ohio State University, says the amount of dairy products consumed by Americans will increase by one per cent a year as the population grows.The percentage of the U.S.population over 40 is increasing and that means fewer babies and children — the main consumers of fresh milk.However, Jacobson said, the consumption of cream, cheese and some other dairy products should more than make up for the decline in milk drinking.He said that in the past the dairy industry has been hurt by competition from beverages such as soft drinks.But dairy products have been supported by reasonable prices, rising consumer incomes and advertising.RBCORUCHARLbS BURY Modern archeological dig BATEAUX £NDU Dt FLANER ’A s* ~ j A Group of Triolet high school

of Two Churches: Closing the gap between rich and poor The gap apparently growing between the rich and poor in Canada may be illustrated by two Winnipeg churches that reporter Paul Gessell visited during a trip across the country to gauge the state of the economy in 1985.This is the last of his reports on the trip.By Paul Gessell WINNIPEG (CP) — This is a story of rich and poor and two churches called St.Andrews.The scene opens with the Very Rev.Lois Wilson, former moderator of the United Church of Canada, delivering a sermon entitled The Church That Makes God Sick.This tiny woman in high heels and a black preacher’s robe has come to St.Andrews River Heights United Church, a gathering spot for some of Winnipeg’s wealthier residents, to speak about the growing gap between the rich and poor.The church that sits on the fence and does not try to correct the imbalances within society “is the kind of church that makes God sick in the stomach,” Wilson says.The grey-haired matrons in matching hats and gloves listen attentively from the pews and then go to the basement to drink coffee and to gossip about the church’s forthcoming geranium sale.BEING CHRISTIAN Whether the message sinks in, or is even welcome, Wilson is determined to continue her crusade for a new economic order in which wealth at home and abroad is distributed more equitably.Some may call Wilson too political, maybe even Marxist.She says she is just being Christian.It’s Canada’s version of Latin American “liberation theology” and is perhaps most obvious in British Columbia, where clergymen of many denominations have joined the Solidarity movement to denounce, from pulpits and street corners, provincial government restraint measures.In an interview, Wilson says the widening gulf between rich and poor is exemplified by the growing lineups at food banks across the country, by the persistently high unemployment rate and by profitable corporations that try to keep women locked into low-paying, part-time work.During a reporter’s crosscountry train trip to gain an impression of how Canadians are faring economically in 1985, it is a gulf seen in Halifax, where people anticipating offshore oil-money are moving into town, raising rents and deriving the poor of cheap accommodations.And it is a gulf seen in Vancouver, where the lineups for food banks and trendy restaurants are both long.INCOME DECLINED Statistics Canada also has examples.The annual income of the 20 per cent of the population at the bottom of the economic ladder actually decreased 6.4 per cent to an average $10,688 in 1983 from $11,416 in 1981, after adjustment for inflation.During that same period, the annual income of the 20 per cent of the population at the top of the income ladder increased slightly to $68,613 from $68,497.The recession did not hit everyone equally.The contrast can be seen in the United Church’s two St.Andrews in Winnipeg — St.An- drews River Heights and St.Andrews Elgin.Rev.Don Pratt, the retiring minister of St.Andrews River Heights, describes his couponclipping, cottage-going flock as “people of intelligence and background’’ who largely escaped unscathed from the recession of the early 1980s.“There’s no poverty in this area,” Pratt says.“There’s no poverty in this church.I know it (poverty) is there, but I don’t see it.But What’s-His-Name down at the old St.Andrews, he sees it.” What’s-His-Name is the Rev.Gaston Vialard, pastor of St.Andrews Elgin United Church, and he sees it all — the drunks, the prostitutes and that 20 per cent of the population with the lowest and diminishing income.IN A HIGH-RISE Driving around his neighborhood, Vialard points to the corner where he was mugged, to the home where a pack of juvenile delinquents used to live and finally stops at a high-rise that houses his church, a day hospital and subsidized apartments for 135 low-income people.Guinness considers brewing a lighter beer By Arthur Spiegelman NEW YORK (Reuter) — For more than 200 years, the Guinness family has made its fortune brewing one of the world’s most unusual beers — a malty, brown-black beverage with a bitterness born of burnt barley.But now, the Irish republic’s biggest brewer is searching for new markets and a new beer —an amber liquid with a taste as unique as that of Guinness.“We may be five years away from developing a golden beer,” said Viscount Boyd, the vice-chairman of Guinness, at a beertasting session the company held in New York City.“But it must have a taste as unique as Guinness before we will call it Guinness.” Founded in 1759, Guinness has not exactly rushed into new products because its main product sells extremely well.Even today, Guinness accounts for 60 per cent MAKER OF “ROBERT” WINDOWS DOORS-FRAMES CONSTRUCTION

anticipating the trend to lighter beers,” Lord Boyd said, taking a sip of Guinness.Early in the 1980s the company test-marketed a Guinness light beer in Dublin — a dark brown beer with a lighter taste than the company’s extra stout.It flopped and Boyd .looking noticeably uncomfortable about its fai- lure, noted: “I liked it, but it was not one thing nor the other.It was a lager but a black one.Its sales were insufficient to make it worth while.” Boyd, a direct descendant on his mother’s side of Arthur Guinness, the firm’s founder, says a liking for Guinness is really an acquired taste even in the family.“My grandmother taught me you never like the first one you taste.But if you get to drink a second one, you never give it up.Once the taste is acquired, our drinkers will fight to the last.”

wooden houses, many inhabited by natives, with laundry flapping on lines in the backyard and shattered dreams in the living room.Surrounding the other St.Andrews are smart brick and stucco homes inhabited by the community-minded folk who volunteer their time to deliver food to Vialard’s Winnipeg.Vialard is appreciative, but sometimes skeptical, of the charity sent to his part of town from other quarters of the city.“Of course, sometimes you have people being generous .But it comes from the balcony — ‘Let’s throw a roast to these people’ — but that’s really a temporary thing that doesn’t help these people.” TREAT CAUSES Like Wilson, Vialard wants the causes, not just the symptoms, of poverty to be treated.Vialard is also skeptical about the economists’ statements two years ago that the recession was over.“Well, I think if there’s some improvement, it’s for people who already had a (good) economical situation.” For the poor wandering the hallways in the building containing his church, things have become worse, or at best, stayed the same, Vialard says.It is a message heard across the country from the advocates of the poor.Welfare benefits have been cut or failed to keep pace with inflation.Renovations of inner-city dwellings have made cheap accommodation scarcer.The prospects of many unskilled, unemployed laborers remain dim as businesses embrace labor-saving technology to boost profits.NOT ALL POOR Vialard’s congregation is not all poor and is not only from the surrounding neighborhood, which is just the toss of a beer bottle from the rowdy bars on Main Street.He describes about 50 per cent of his parishioners as middle class, but middle-class people with a long history of understanding and helping the poor The bulletin board in a hallway of the church building carries advertisements for adult literacy classes.Down a corridor is an office of the Manitoba Association for Rights and Liberties, where the poor seek advice on how to fight for their rights.And in one room, members of Alcoholics Anonymous meet.The church’s first building in the 1880s shared quarters with a community centre serving new immigrants from England, Ireland and Europe.A traditional structure came later but it burned down in 1968.“When I think of the present building of St.Andrews, it’s just a projection of what was in the past,” Vialard says proudly.The

the elderly 11___ ttccora By Laurel Sherrer SHERBROOKE — Six Sher brooke area residents have set up a program to match people looking for work with people who need help in their own homes.It is not a volunteer service, but it aims to make life easier for the elderly or handicapped by finding suitable people for odd jobs or permanent employment says Rev.Sheila Murray, one of the originators.The group formed the Task Force on Senior Adults last November with the hope of “looking at all sorts of needs of senior adults,” said Murray.And one of the needs turned out to be this kind of service, she said.Within a month after the service, called “Connections”, was set up this spring, about 50 workers had registered, and more than twenty people had called to have help in their homes.“We’ve seen enough to know there’s a real need,” said Murray.The task force has just begun contacting community groups to help them out and pass the word about the program.REASONABLE WAGES The program directors don’t decide on any of the terms of employment — all that is worked out between the employer and employee.A committee does, however, interview the worker and ask for references to determine their suitability.Even the salary is left up to the two parties.“Our hope would be that they would offer their services at reasonable wages,” said Murray.Kathleen Atto, 87, of Lennox-ville, is one person who has bene-fitted from the program.Having broken her hip in Florida, she was not allowed to leave the hospital unless she could assure her doctor that there would be someone to look after her at home.• ' V.'Connections' found Carrol Scott her job working in Kathleen Atto's home.A friend contacted Connections, and quickly had Carrol Scott employed to do cooking, housecleaning and other duties while Atto recovered from her accident.“I couldn’t get along without her,” said Atto.“I can pretty well take care of myself now, but I can’t take care of the house.” “I would think (Connections) would fill a need,” she said.“There must be others who are looking for someone for the same reasons, and you don’t know where to begin.” Scott was fairly new to the area and had been looking for work when a career counsellor told her about Connections.“It was perfect for someone like myself who is alone and has no dependents,” she said.It allows her to take on the job 24 hours a day.NOT LIMITED The area Connections aims to serve, said Murray, stretches from Richmond to Rock Island.It is available to anyone who needs the help, although the intention is to make sure the elderly are served.It is not limited to the English-speaking population, although little outreach has been made so far in the French-speaking community.Murray sees a secondary role of Connections as steering the elderly, particular anglophones, in the direction of government and other services they need.“It’s very confusing for them," she said.“They’re intimidated by the CLSC’s (Centres locales des services communautaires), and if they phone and someone answers in French they often don’t pursue the matter.” Some funds for setting up have come from the United Church, but costs will be kept to a minimum, said Murray.For more information you may contact Doris McKelvey at (819)566-5423.Northeast Kingdom case dropped over trial delay MONTPELIER, Vt.(AP) - A judge has dismissed the last remaining child abuse case against the Northeast Kingdom Community Church, an Islaond Pond sect raided by authorities last year in order to check 112 children for signs of abuse.Acting Judge Ray Keyser ruled Wednesday that charges against sect elder Charles (Eddie) Wiseman should be dismissed because of a lack of speedy trial.Wiseman was charged with simple assault in connection with an alleged intermittent seven-hour beating in 1983 of Darlynn Church, a 13-year-old sect member.He was first cited in the case 23 months ago and was to go to trial next week.State Attorney General Jeffrey Amestoy and William Gray, the state’s special prosecutor in the case, said they would ask Keyser for a rehearing on his decision.“To be quite candid, I am surprised and disappointed,” Gray said.“We did not expect it.We were all set to go to trial.” The child abuse charge against Wiseman partially spurred the raid against the 450-member sect.State authorities rounded up 112 sect children in an attempt to check them for signs of abuse, but a judge vetoed the effort, saying the raid was “grossly illegal.” “For almost two years the defendant has experienced a financial and emotional disruption of his personal life,” Keyser said in his 14-page decision released at St.Johnsbury District Court.“The defendant has received both written and oral threats to his life.His profession as a preacher has been harmed because the publicity surrounding this charge has evoked great hatred and hostility directed toward him.” Wiseman’s lawyer, Public Defender Jean Swantko, said she is “thrilled.” She had filed five separate motions to dismiss the case before a hearing last week, saying Wiseman had been prepared to go to trial since March 1984.Church said she is “overjoyed” at the dismissal, saying her earlier reportof a beating was false and “I don’t want to bring false witness” against Wiseman.Her father, Roland Church, and his family defected from the group soon after the alleged May 1983 incident.But by September 1983 he said he was frustrated with how long the case was taking, and said in an interview that he “wanted to forget the whole thing.” In August 1984, he recanted his earlier testimony and said his daughter was not beaten “severely.” The state took the case to trial at Bennington District Court on Aug.22,1984, without the Church family as witnesses.Keyser then suppressed the state’s unsigned depositions from the Churches, but the state Supreme Court sent the case back to Keyser in January after Swantko filed affidavits that said the Churches were available to testify.The case was further delayed until last April because Keyser was ill.Child abuse definition differs with culture Barbeque sauce back by popular demand My favourite recipe for Barbecue Sauce

may be a sign of care in another, says a child care specialist.And that includes how other societies perceive many child-rearing practices of the dominant white culture in North America, Janet Haddock, of the Children’s Aid Society of Metropolitan Toronto, told a conference on child abuse Friday.For instance, she said, a colleague who went to the West Indies arranged for her baby to sleep in the next room and sometimes let the baby cry herself to sleep.“Both those behaviors were considered pretty harsh,’’she told a group of all-white child welfare professionals attending a seminar on cultural implications in assessing child abuse.The two-day conference, which ended Friday, was sponsored by Humber College.About 180 teachers, medical professionals, children’s aid workers and others interested in child welfare attended from across Canada.Haddock, who trains others to work with the city’s ethnic groups, said physical evidence can also be misinterpreted.Mongolian spots — patches of blue-black pigment in the skin of the lower back, buttocks and shoul ders of Orientals and some Europeans — might be mistaken for bruises, she said.She also cited the Vietnamese practice of cao-gio, a common treatment for colds or fever in which a spoon or coin is rubbed along the back.It also leaves bruises, although in a unique pat tern.Social notes notice Please note that all social notes must
