Lévesque lashes back at Time QUEBEC (CP) — Premier René Lévesque, angry over an article in Time magazine predicting his days in politics are numbered, says he plans to find out who was behind it.It could be the work of an expatriate English Canadian, he told reporters shortly before storming down a hallway Tuesday.“We have a lot of those disguised friends,” he said.Asked to explain what he meant, Lévesque replied : “You know very well what I mean,” telling reporters to send for the writer’s curriculum vitae “from New York.” The writer, Peter Stoler, reached in New Jersey, said he was born and raised in the Boston area.He has never lived in Canada, he said, and has been here only on assignment or as a tourist.Stoler’s article, noting the return of Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa and the internal problems of the Parti Québécois, said Lévesque’s political demise is virtually inevitable.This is the second time in two months that Lévesque has revived a charge first made eight years ago that there was a conspiracy against French Quebec.In January 1977, Lévesque blamed what he called a fifth column of Canadians in New York for distorting a speech he made there to the Economic Club.Two months ago, he accused the English media of being against his government because it represents a “sort of maximum chance of maturity .for the French nation here in Quebec.” Meanwhile, Lévesque tried to get the Parti Québécois caucus to endorse a pay raise of $5,000 a year for members of the national assembly, the Montreal Gazette reports.But the suggestion, made at a caucus meeting Tuesday night, was quickly and unanimously shot down, the paper says in a story published today.Members said the timing of such a move would be a public relations disaster.The story quotes a PQ source as saying he was shocked by the suggestion that “only a few months before an election we give ourselves a raise.” Three PQ members said Lévesque told the caucus he had discused the idea with Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa who appeared to be in favor.Bourassa later confirmed that Lévesque had raised the issue in a private meeting but he denied having agreed to it.By Gary Regenstreif SOREL, Que.(CP)-— Marine Industries Ltd.officials are scrambling to save lucrative contracts following an overwhelming vote by production workers to end their bitter 10-month strike.Employees ratified the new contract Wednesday by 96 per cent, one day before yet another client had said it would cancel a major order.Marine, the region s OTTAWA (CP) — Elderly Cana dians and opposition MPs angrily attacked Prime Minister Brian Mulroney with words like “snake” and “liar” Wednesday as they uni ted their voices against a government proposal to limit inflation protection on old age pensions.And in a day marked by a heated confrontation between Mulroney and an elderly woman on the steps on Parliament Hill, a protest rally and disruption in the Commons, they were trying to show that Mulroney is betraying a campaign biggest employer, has lost $8.5 million in contracts since the sometimes violent strike began Aug.7.Teary-eyed workers slapped backs, cheered and popped open a celebratory bottle of champagne before hoisting union president Francois Lamoureux on their shoulders when the ballots were counted.“Unity! Unity!” the jubilant workers roared.pledge to continue full indexation of pensions.But Mulroney calmly deflected the accusations, repeating — as he and his ministers have for weeks — that seniors across the country understand that the proposed measure is needed to help lower the deficit and ensure future continuation of social programs.“You lied to us,” 63-year-old Solange Denis of Ottawa told a surprised Mulroney on the front steps of Parliament as he waded into a group of local and Quebec senior “We’re going to hold our heads high when we walk into that shi pyard,” Lamoureaux said to thunderous applause in the overflowing union hall.Both the company — 65-per-cent owned by the Quebec government holding company General Investment Corp.— and the Confederation of National Trade Unions affiliate agreed that shipyard gates could swing open again Tuesday if citizens here to protest the proposed pension change.“You made promises that you wouldn’t touch anything,” the diminutive Denis cried as Mulroney tried to defuse the confrontation.“I was made to vote for you and then it’s Goodbye Charlie Brown.” she said, warning that the Conservatives “won’t get back in in three years” if they proceed with a budget proposal to index the old age security pension only to that part of inflation which exceeds three per cent.a back-to-work protocol is reached.Lamoureux warned in an interview later, however, that members won’t return to the plant in neighboring Tracy, 65 kilometres east of Montreal, before Marine’s 300 office workers settle their dispute.He said provincial conciliators have begun negotiating a set tlement with them.The company, eager to restore BEIRUT (AP) — A red car packed with explosives blew up outside a candy store in the northern port of Tripoli where Moslems had gathered to buy sweets for a feast, killing 75 people and wounding 150, state radio said today.Rescue workers searched through the rubble of the building all night for more victims and divers scoured the nearby Mediterranean Sea for bodies thrown into the water by the blast.Police earlier reported that the explosion late Wednesday killed 33 people, wounded 95.They could not immediately confirm the radio’s higher casualty figures.Also Wednesday, Red Cross workers evacuated 103 wounded Palestinians from Beirut refugee camps under a ceasefire that ended an assault by Shiite Moslems trying to oust Palestinian guerrillas.A team of high-ranking police officers arrived in Tripoli today to investigate the bombing, the radio said.Police said the car rigged with more than 100 kilograms of explosives levelled the four-storey building that housed a candy store.The store was crowded with scores of customers buying sweets to give relatives and friends in celebration of the end of the Moslem fasting month of Ramadan.There was no immediate indication who was responsible for the explosion.For nine years, Tripoli has been the scene of bloody fighting between rival Moslem militias.The fighting ended last December when the government deployed 1,200 soldiers in the city under a peace plan worked out with Syrian assistance.Tripoli, 65 kilometres north of Beirut, has a mostly Moslem population of 500,000.MANY BOMBINGS Dozens of car bombings have occurred in Lebanon in recent years, including one last Friday in Beirut Later, Denis likened Mulroney to a snake as she spoke to reporters.“You know, he’s so calm it’s dangerous.You know a snake is so calm and everything but, whoa, the minute it will have a chance, it will pinch you.” Later, the Tories used their huge

Palestinians were evacuated from the Bourj el-Barajneh and Chatilla refugee camps.Red Cross ambulances carried 45 wounded from Bourj el-Barajneh, and 58 casualties were evacuated from Chatilla, International Red Cross officials said.At least 35 of the Chatilla wounded were reported in critical condition.By police count, 595 people were killed and 2,381 wounded during a month of fighting between Palestinians and Shiite Moslems in the Amal militia and 6th Brigade of the Lebanese Army.The Shiites were seeking to prevent Palestinian guerrillas from rebuilding the power base they lost in the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.The evacuation came two days after both sides agreed to end the fighting.The agreement calls for the evacuation of all heavy weapons and Amal militiamen from the area of the camps.A Lebanese Army unit of mixed religions is to handle security in the camps.Coke smuggler wasn’t quite so lucky after all PETERBOROUGH, Ont.(CP) — An international cocaine smuggler — tracked down by police after his picture appeared in a local newspaper as the winner of a car — was sentenced in provincial court Wednesday to six months in jail.Donald McManus, 45, pleaded guilty to possession of more than $100,000 worth of items purchased with money derived through crime in the United States.McManus’ luxurious house in nearby Lakefield, a car and a diamond ring were confiscated and will be sold with the proceeds going to the Ontario government.Judge R.B.Batten said McManus would be facing a great deal more time when he is taken back to the United States, where he jumped bail on charges of importing and trafficking cocaine.Crown Attorney Harry Carle-ton told court McManus, who moved to the Peterborough area last fall, was caught “by a fluke” when his picture appeared in the Peterborough Examiner after winning the car last October.— report Hijack hostages in ‘no danger’ but solution must be reached m ; 4 The Benedictine momstary in St-Benoit-du-lac is coming back to life as the first day of summer approaches.(That’s tomorrow, June 21, by the way.) Mulroney given rough ride by angry pensioners Car bomb rocks Tripoli; 75 dead BEIRUT (AP) — One of the Shiite Moslem hijackers of a TWA jetliner fired over the heads of reporters at the Beirut airport terminal today after a Lebanese reporter tried to sneak aboard the plane by posing as an airline attendant.The hijackers and members of the Shiite Amal militia are holding 40 Americans hostages in Beirut, seeking to exchange them for 700 Shiites being held by Israel.Amal means Hope in Arabic.Gunmen hijacked the plane last Friday on its way to Rome from Athens, and since have released most of the 153 passengers and crew.They killed U.S.navy Petty Officer Robert Dean Stethem of Waldorf, Md.“Trick, journalist,” hijackers screamed when they saw the Lebanese reporter’s camera.The reporter rode onto the tarmac in a food van and carried fruit up the steps to the plane.He ran down the staircase as a gunman appeared at door of the plane and shot over his head.The gunman then turned his AK-47 assault rifle on other journalists and photographers on the tarmac and fired a few shots over their heads.Some sprinted indoors and others dived for cover.There were no injuries.State-run Beirut radio quoted a government official Wednesday as saying “there is no danger to the lives of the hostages for the time being.” It added that a solution must be reached “before things deteriorate.” It did not identify the official, but the radio station in western Beirut is influenced by the Shiite Amal militia.The Israeli government said in Jerusalem it will not free the Shiite prisoners until the situation in southern Lebanon is calm.Most of the captive Shiites are residents of southern Lebanon who were captured by Israeli soldiers in an attempt to supress attacks on their withdraw! from Lebanon.The American hostages have been taken off the Boeing 727 and spread out in Shiite neighborhoods of Beirut.Robert McFarlane, U.S.President Ronald Reagan’s national security adviser, said that while most of the hostages are under the control of the Amal, about six with Jewish-sounding names “are held by more extreme elements” — the fundamentalist Hezbollah, or Par ty of God.The pilot of the TWA plane, John Testrake, 57, of Richmond, Mo., told reporters in a brief interview that he and the other two crew members are “in excellent condition.” “They had been treating us quite well,” Testrake said.“We have plenty of food and water.” He also said any rescue attempt would mean almost certain death for the hostages.Israeli Defence Minister Yitzhak Rabin said on the ABC News program Nightline the hostage situation is primarily the Washington's problem "The hostages are American, They were caught on board of an airline that carries the United States flag.The United States

of the FBI says Islamic extremists have “sufficient apparatus” in the United States to attack U.S.targets if the Reagan administration retaliated for such actions as the hijacking of TWA flight

U.S.request to free the Shiites would have to be debated by the Israeli cabinet, he said.The United States has said it will not ask Israel to free the Shiite pri- soners.The hijackers also have demanded the release of two Shiites charged in Spain with wounding a Libyan diplomat last year.Prosecutors are asking for 36-year prison sentences for both defendents, who went on trial Wednesday.Our

Bueckert MONTREAL (CP) — The father ofoneof Clifford Olson's 11 murder victims has asked the federal government to create an RCMP task force to investigate whether a serial killer is responsible for a rash of child slayings here.“The situation in Montreal is un questionably the work of a serial killer,” Gary Rosenfeldt, spokesman for an Edmonton-based group called Victims of Violence, said Wednesday.“We’re looking at five children over seven months.It’s even happened at about the same time of year as Olson’s killings” in British Columbia in 1980 and 1981, he said in a telephone interview from Edmonton.“It’s identical to what happened in Vancouver.” Four young boys from the Montreal area have been kidnapped and slain since last fall.A fifth is missing and police believe he was killed as well.Montreal police have refused to say whether they think the killings were committed by the same person.Rosenfeldt said that after his 16-year-old son, Daryn, disappeared, he and his wife failed to convince police that a serial killer might be at work.WOULDN’T LISTEN “No matter how we talked to them they wouldn’t listen to us.We believe they (Montreal police and political authorities) are going to play around with the situation the way they did in Vancouver, and quite a few more children will get murdered.” Rosenfeldt said he had written to Solicitor General Elmer Mackay twice since June 7 asking for a task force to investigate the Montreal killings but had received no reply.“I don’t think MacKay is listening,” he said.“The people in authority want to downplay the situation.He said that in the Olson case, seven of the victims were listed by police as runaways and little effort was made to find them until a special task force was set up to investigate the case.Mary Grant, a spokesman for MacKay, said she was not sure Ro- senfeldt’s letters had reached the minister.“You’ve got to understand how much mail a minister receives.” Dennis Rich, an RCMP spokesman in Ottawa, said the force could not investigate the Montreal killings until they were invited because the slayings occurred in the jurisdiction of Montreal police.Const.Mario D’Arcy, a Montreal police spokesman, refused comment on whether the possibility of a serial killer was being investigated, or whether a special task force should be established.The rash of Montreai-area killings began last November when Maurice Viens, 4, was found beaten to death several days after he was kidnapped.Wilton Lubin, 12, disappeared Nov.1, and his beaten body was pulled from the St.Lawrence River about a month later.Sebastien Metivier, 8, who disappeared at the same time as Lubin, is still missing and presumed dead.Police handled the Lubin and Metivier cases as runaways for several weeks because of reports they were seen alive after they disappeared.The body of Michel Ethier, 12, who also disappeared last fall, was pulled from the St.Lawrence River, and Denis Roux-Bergevin, 5, was found beaten to death four days after he disappeared earlier this month.In Quebec City Wednesday, a petition signed by 9,662 people de- nouncing the rash of child killings in Montreal was tabled in the national assembly by Parti Québécois member Louise Hard.The petition, sent to Hard by Me-tivier’s mother, called for Quebec to set up a special youth squad to aid police in preventing and solving such crimes.The petition spoke of the need to improve relations between police and the victims’ families.It also said the squad should deal with child prostitution, disappearances, sexual attacks on children and kidnappings of children 14 years of age or younger.There was no immediate response to the petition from Quebec Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson.Hydro is responsible for NGWS-in-bMGf caribou deaths — report QUEBEC (CP) — Nearly 10,000 caribou drowned in the Caniapis-cau river last September because the James Bay Energy Corp.emptied huge amounts of water into the river bed from a reservoir, says a report by the Quebec government office responsible for native affairs.The report, released Wednesday, also recommends that the Crown-owned energy corporation repay the government $760,000 spent by the Environment Department to clean the 9,604 carcasses from the river.“The main human cause of this accident was the James Bay Energy Corp.’s decision to empty hugh amounts of water into the old Ca-niapiscau river bed in September 1984,” the report concludes.The animals drowned Oct.5 while fording the swollen river at Limestone Falls, about 100 kilometres upstream from Kuujjuaq.Native groups had accused Hydro-Quebec and the James Bay Energy Corp.of bringing the river up to spring runoff levels when they opened the sluice gates of the Caniapiscau in June for a five-month period.The river flows out of the Caniapiscau reservoir, a giant manmade lake which serves the four James Bay power stations.Hydro-Quebec disclaimed res-ponsiblity for the animals' death, blaming the high water levels on heavy rain.But the report says the energy corporation did open the sluice gates in order to fill the reservoir to maximum capacity because it was testing it for leaks.HAD NO CHOICE The firm had information about previous floods in the river and migration of the caribou herd, the report said.But when heavy rains in September raised the level of the reservoir, it had no choice but to empty water into the river.The disaster was not due solely to the decision, the report added.“With the steady increase in the size of the herd and the growing territory it took up, it is likely other accidental drownings would occur since the number of dangerous rivers the herd had to cross was mu-tliplying.” The report recommended Hydro-Quebec should abstain from spilling extra water into the river between Aug.1 and Oct.31, the period when the caribou migrate, and that it study the possiblilty of lowering the reservoir’s maximum level by 50 centimetres so that it can hold unexpected runoff.Finally, the report recommended the Recreation, Fish and Game Department intensify its research programs into conservation of the caribou herd, and that it make use of native groups’ expertise on the animals.Last February, a report by the Recreation, Fish and Game Department determined human error played no part in the drownings, concluding the disaster was a “natural catastophe” and clearing Hydro-Quebec of any responsibility in the deaths.And a report earlier by the energy corporation said natural phenomena were undoubtably the cause of the drownings.And the winner of ’85’s sexist advertisement is.MONTREAL (CP) — Repentant representatives of jewellers Henry Birks and Son Ltd.were on hand Wednesday as the Quebec council on the status of women awarded the company first prize for the year’s most sexist ad.The French-language ad in muted colors shows a seated woman wearing jewelry with a man hovering over her shoulder.The offen ding part, ruled a jury of 10 women, is the caption: “For all the evenings I spent at the office and she spent waiting for me.Gold from Birks.” Three women employees from Birks attended the news conference, including advertising director Suzanne Hurst who expressed regret at the ad.“When the ads were approved, no one put a sexist interpretation on it,” said Hurst.“We re going to be morecareful.” Francine McKenzie, president of the council, labelled the message in the jewelry ad “really degrading.“It reinforces the passivity and the traditional dependence of women.Madame’s patience is repaid by a necklace or a bracelet.” On the positive side, first prize for an effort “to break the sexist stereotype’’ went to a television ad for the Quebec-based RO-NA hardware chain, showing a girl building a large doghouse using their tools.“It’s idealistic,” acknowledged McKenzie, “but it’s good to change the image.” Awards also went to a TV ad for Hydro Quebec, in which a businessman changes the company sign to Richard et fille (Richard and daughter), and to the Dairy Bureau of Canada TV ad which shows a man rolling cookie dough.A dishonorable mention went to a magazine ad produced in France for Dub’s jeans.A woman wearing only jeans is shown on all fours on a pedestal, with six breasts, reminiscent of the Roman she-wolf McKenzie described it as “shocking and degrading,” and sent a letter to Yvette Roudy, French minister for women’s rights, condemning it.Said McKenzie: “Quebec is ahead of France in this regard.We hope our French cousins will take up the cause.” #1_______ttei ifccora », Publisher .Georg* MacLaren, Publisher .569-9511 CharUt Bury, Editor.569-6345 Lloyd G.Schaib, Advertising Manager .569-9525 Mark Gulllett*, Press Superintendent

competition MONTREAL (CP) — Nearly a million people watched the finale of the first Montreal International Fireworks Competition, police said Wednesday.For some, the evening brought tragedy.One young man plunged 15 metres to his death when the grill of the ventilation duct he was standing on at the Olympic Stadium collapsed.Another was taken to hospital from St.Helens Island when an object was dropped on him from the Jacques Cartier Bridge.A man on the bridge broke his leg and harbor police investigated but could not confirm reports that someone had fallen into the river Premiers to discuss project QUEBEC (CP) — Premier Rene Levesque says he hopes to reopen talks on the longstanding Churchill Falls hydroelectric power dispute with Newfoundland by August.Levesque told the national assembly Wednesday he and Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford recently agreed to hold another meeting in an attempt to settle the dispute.The waterpower rights on Labrador’s Upper Churchill River were leased to Hydro-Quebec for 65 years in 1969 by the government of former Newfoundland premier Joey Smallwood.Bill ensures essential services QUEBEC (CP) — A bill to severely restrict the right to strike in hospitals and overhaul the way contracts are negotiated with public sector workers was adopted in the national assembly Wednesday.Despite opposition from the powerful unions representing Quebec’s 366,000 teachers, health service workers and government employees and an attempt by the Liberals to stall the legislation, it was adopted by a vote of 62-52.With the new legislation, strikes in the hospital sector will be limited to symbolic actions.Essential services will have to be maintained and depending on the institution, up to 90 per cent of the workers will have to be on the job.Joint custody causes problems OTTAWA (CP) — Joint custody awards are inappropriate arrangements for most divorcing couples and often create anxiety, confusion and uncertainty for the children, a women’s lobby group told the Commons justice committee Wednesday.“Many joint legal custody arrangements have resulted in a situation where the woman still ends up carrying the major share of the day-to-day responsibility for the children, while at the same time being subject to continuing control and interference by her husband,” the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women said in a brief.Union calls emergency meeting OTTAWA (CP) — The board of directors of the Public Service Alliance of Canada called an unusual emergency meeting late Wednesday following another day of procedural errors, challenged rulings and wrangling on the floor at the union’s national conference.The directors demanded that Alliance president Pierre Samson exercise greater control over the convention and they promised to try to control some of their more fractious delegates.Inquiry to look at health care QUEBEC (CP) — Creation of a $1.7-million commission of inquiry into Quebec’s health and social services system was announced Wednesday by Social Affairs Minister Guy Chevrette.The 12-member commission, headed by Jean Rochon, dean of medicine at Laval University, has 30 months to report to the government and has “carte blanche” to look at all aspects of Quebec’s $8 billion health care system, said Chevrette.The only limitation is that the principles of universal and accessible health care must be respected, he said.Assumed students understood RED DEER, Alta.(CP) — Jim Keegstra said Wednesday he assumed his students understood that he didn’t include all Jews in his theory of a conspiracy for world power.Keegstra, on trial in Court of Queen’s Bench on a charge of wilfully promoting hatred against Jews, ended his 17th day in the witness box Wednesday.The former teacher, fired from the high school in Eckville, Alta., in December 1982, said he assumed his students knew he was talking about a conspiracy led by international Jewish financiers and involving only five or six per cent of the world’s Jewish population.First Star Wars test ruined CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.(AP) — A major goof by ground controllers ruined the first test of President Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars missile defence program.The mixup occurred Wednesday when Mission Control fed the shuttle’s computer instructions in feet instead of nautical miles.The ship, instead of pointing at a 9,994-foot (about 3,046 metres) mountain peak in Hawaii, began searching for a non-existent peak 9,994 nautical miles in space.From the Hawaiian peak, the U.S.air force was to have fired a low-power laser beam at a mirror mounted in Discovery’s port side window to determine how accurately the beam could track a fast-moving object in space.Navy surgeon faces court-martial WASHINGTON (AP) — A navy surgeon, hired despite suspect credentials and poor eyesight, has been implicated in the deaths of four patients and will face a general court-martial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter, the navy says.As well, 10 ranking naval officers have received or are facing disciplinary sanctions in connection with the case of Cmdr.Donal Billig, the former chief of cardiac surgery at the Bethesda Naval Medical Centre, the navy said Wednesday.N.Y.to raise drinking age ALBANY, N.Y.(AP) — New York state is set to raise its legal drinking age to 21 from 19 on Dec.1 after the state senate gave final legislative approval Tuesday to a bill that Gov.Mario Cuomo has pledged to sign.The measure passed 35-22 after three hours of debate.Cuomo has said the legislation was the most important bill to be considered by the legislature this session because it should save lives.‘Not a penny’ for rape victim DETROIT, Mich.(CP) —A Windsor, Ont., woman who asked for $2 million U.S.as compensation for a gang rape should not get a penny, a jury of three men and three women decided Wednesday.“I think I deserved some money — I won’t say how much,’ ’ said the 28-year-old victim, who has asked to remain anonymous because of the nature of the crime.Returning from a Detroit nightclub at 11 p.m.Feb.12,1976, the woman was abducted at gunpoint after her car broke down.She was beaten and raped repeatedly for 12 hours by at least seven men, but managed to escape while they were planning her murder.Spy recruitment increases NEW YORK (AP) - The U.S.army says there has been a 400 per cent increase since 1978 in efforts by Soviet and eastern European intelligence services to recruit American soldiers as spies, The New York Times reported Wednesday.Army officers said there were 481 incidents last year in which soldiers reported they had been approached by people they suspected of being Soviet or Eastern European intelligence officers, or sympathizers in countriessuch as West Germany, the newspaper said.Third conspirator identified ROME (AP) — In a dramatic turnabout, Mehmet Ali Agca testified Wednesday that there was a third Turkish conspirator in St.Peter’s Square when he shot Pope John Paul four years ago.Based on Agca’s statements to investigators, three Bulgarians and four Turks are being tried on charges of comphcity in the shooting of the Pope on May 13, 1981.Only three of the seven defendants are in custody; the rest are being tried in absentia.Agca had previously testified that only one other accomplice was in the square when he shot the Pope, and identified him as Oral Celik, a Turkish fugitive charged with firing the third shot that wounded the Pope.Solidarity leader arrested WARSAW (AP) — Authorities announced Wednesday the arrest of a top Solidarity underground leader.Lech Walesa, chairman of the outlawed union, said he also has been threatened with imprisonment.The Interior Ministry said security police arrested Tadeusz Jedynak, a coal miner and the most important dissident captured since last July’s government amnesty, which freed more than 600 political prisoners.Gunmen kill 13 in café SAN SALVADOR (AP) — Gunmen dressed as members of the Salvadoran armed forces opened fire on a crowd at an outdoor café Wednesday night, killing 13 people including four U.S.marines, an American Embassy spokesman said.Two marines escaped injury and the assailants fled in a car, the spokesman said.F our Guatemalans and five Salvadorans were killed in the spray of gunfire, along with the four marines, the spokesman said.Marine Industries will ask feds to reconsider Continued from page I contract to build railway grain cars if the strike wasn’t settled by today.Marine will also approach the federal government which has said it is cancelling the company’s $5-million order to refit the Canadian Forces destroyer HMCS Margaree because of the length of the strike.The company has already lost a $5-million contract to refit the HMCS Saguenay, and the government had indicated that if a settlement wasn’t reached soon, permanent closure of Marine would be considered.The strike by 1,050 production workers plunged into stalemate when Marine stubbornly refused union demands to reinstate seven strikers fired for a violent incident at the shipyard last October Under the new agreement, Marine will reduce the firings to suspensions whose length, up to a maximum of two years, will be determined by an arbitration board.Four of the group were convicted Tuesday on charges stemming from the violence, while a fifth was acquitted.One of the convicted, Luc Bibeau, was immediately sentenced to 15 days in prison for assault.“I’m very happy he’s going back to work,” Bibeau’s wife Chantal told reporters after hugging La-moureux with tears of joy in her eyes.The settlement, based on government conciliators’ proposals, gives each worker a $950 signing bonus and wage increases of four per cent in each of the last two years of a three-year pact that ends April 30,1988.The workers earned an average of $12.56 in their last contract, which expired May 1, 1984.The company has also agreed to more than double their contibution to the group medical insurance plan, agreeing to pay half the pre- miums.Workers will also have the option of claiming overtime in time off as well as cash and night shift workers will get paid lunch hours.“We're very satisfied with the negotiations,” said Jean-Louis Cournoyer, 64, who has spent half a century at the shipyard.“Calm will return to Marine Industries.“They wanted to break the union,” said Cournoyer, a striker in the 1937 walkout that gave birth to the union.“It was unbeatable.” “It’s satisfying,” agreed Sarra-zin in an interview, “despite the compromises both sides had to make.” Weather Cloudy with

detective André Castonguay was the only officer on the Sherbrooke police force deemed competent to use the force’s UZI sub-machine gun, former chief Maurice Houle told the Quebec Police Commission Wednesday.But Castonguay had never had occasion to fire the weapon in the course of performing his duties until the morning of December 23, 1983, when he, along with other members of the Sherbrooke and Rock Forest police departments stormed a Rock Forest motel room in a raid that left one innocent man dead and another wounded.Houle, 61, was testifying on the third day of a Police Commission Inquiry into the raid which killed Quebec City carpet layer Serge Beaudoin and wounded his partner Jean-Paul Beaumont.Police believed the two were responsible for the robbery-murder of Brink’s guard Y van Charland the previous day.The Police Commission, headed by Judge Roger Gosselin is investigating the raid.AUTHORIZED COLT .45 Houle also said that he personally had authorized detective Roger Dion to use his own Colt .45 automatic pistol instead of the standard issue .38 calibre service revolver carried by most policemen.Dion also had never fired his weapon in action.In response to questions from commission lawyer Bruno Leclerc, Houle said the Sherbrooke force had no specific written policy with regard to surprise raids or use of weapons at the time, but added that, despite this, Castonguay, Dion and Michel Salvail had each participated in several similar operations without mishap.Castonguay and Dion were acquitted last fall of charges ranging from manslaughter, assault causing bodily harm to dangerous use of weapons.Similar charges against Salvail, who directed the raid, but did not fire his gun, were subsequently dropped.Vaillancourt honored for 25 years QUEBEC (CP) — Georges Vaillancourt was honored Wednesday in the National Assembly for 25 uninterrupted years as the Liberal MNA for Orford.Vaillancourt and St-Louis MNA Harry Blank, who has also spent the last 25 years in the Assembly as a Liberal, reminisced about their quarter centuries of political life, which go back to Que- bec’s Quiet Revolution’ of the 1960s.After their speeches the rest of the Assembly gave them a round of applause by hammering on their desks with both hands or slamming open and shut their desk covers.Vaillancourt was first elected in Stanstead electoral district in 1960, the year Jean Lesage ended ¦ ' £ f Georges Vaillancourt.25 years on the job and he gets a pen.the Union Nationale s hold on Quebec.In 1973 he was re-elected for the fourth time in the renamed Orford district.He is undefeated in seven straight elections and plans to run in the next general election.Vaillancourt has spent exactly half of his 25 years in the National Assembly in the government and the other half in opposition.He told his colleagues about the Quiet Revolution and all the changes it brought about in Quebec : reform of the education system, free access to health services, the energy crisis and the development of small- and medium-sized businesses as a means of bringing the province’s economy out of the recession.Labor Minister and Sherbrooke MNA Raynald Fréchette paid particular hommage to Vaillancourt as a fellow representative of the Eastern Townships.“After a quarter century of parliamentary and political life, you could say he knows every one of his voters by their first name,” Fréchette said.He described the veteran MNA as an “unconditional at the county office” and a man who is highly appreciated by his constituents.Harry Blank also had praise heaped upon him for his long service to the province.He told the Assembly how things had changed since he was first elected in 1960.“Today, MNAs have so much work they can’t keep up with what’s going on outside the capital,” Blank said.He reminisced about the days when the total provincial budget was $750 million and he was the president of the National Assembly’s only parliamentary commission.Vaillancourt and Blank were honored in the Assembly by Fréchette, Liberal leader Robert Bourassa, Government leader Marc-André Bédard, and leader of the Opposition Gérard D.Lévesque.Premier René Lévesque wasn’t there, but he later congratulated the pair in a ceremony in the Salon rouge.For their 25 years on the job, Vaillancourt and Blank were each given a pen and an Inuit carving.Parents protest gov’t daycare policy By Eleanor Brown SHERBROOKE — Parents here are scandalized by a recent provincial government move to increase its day care system budget by “a mere” $9 million, and have banded together to protest what they call an insult to the concept of the family.Two local garderies the parents send their children to will continue operating with deficit budgets and their bank refuses to extend their credit limit.The centres may not be able to survive the crunch.“While the government of Quebec is trying to formulate policies which reflect the needs of the fa mi ly, it is tragically neglecting the public day care network in Quebec,” says spokesman Daniel Ber thold.Parents using the facilities of SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — Stephen Bowes, 21, of Dorval saw his preliminary hearing on a charge of first degree murder ad journed to July 16.Defence lawyer Yves Vaillan court appeared before Judge Guy Genest in provincial court Wednesday requesting his client undergo an in-depth psychiatric examination in order to allow the preparation of a full and adequate defence in the shooting death of Donat Castonguay at Trouser Lake April 6.Crown Attorney Henry

collateral.CAISSE BLASTED “We denounce the attitudes of the Caisse Populaires Desjardins which have recently begun forcing parents to personally endorse the day care centres’ credit limit,” said Berthold, a professor at the Cégep de Sherbrooke."The financial situation of Sherbrooke day care centres is catastrophic,” Berthold continued.“Many are operating with deficit budgets, some severe, and most will have to significantly increase their fees in order to either avoid deficits or to keep (hem from getting Boucherville businessman to allow Bowes to be examined by forensic psychiatrist

Bowes told QPF investigators he dumped the murder weapon in the St-Lawrence River from Ile Charron opposite Montreal.Castonguay’s car was recovered in a parking lot at a shopping centre in the northeast section of Montreal and police recovered four spent .22 shells at the scene of the crime.worse.” Parents who send their children to Carosse-citrouille will be charged a provincially regulated fee of $16 per day per child as of July 1, upped from $14.But actual costs, claim both employees and parents, are much higher.The cost of caring for each child is closer to $24.And the infusion of $9 million into the system only comes out to an increase of 50 cents per child per day, say parents.It’s not enough, they say.ONLY FOR THE RICH?“The philosophy of the government seems to be ‘make the parents pay’.Soon only the rich will be able to offer their children these daycare services,” foresees Berthold.Government subsidies are based on the number of children the government believes each centre should care for — quotas employees say are ridiculous.Carrosse-citrouille is officially able to house 45 children.“That number was thought up by a bureaucrat in a big office with no children around,” says one angry daycare worker.“They give each child three square feet of space and calculate it.” “It just doesn’t work that way.” The centre stands to lose its full subsidy unless it maintains a 75 per cent occupancy rate.Currently 37 children are registered.And the concerned mothers and fathers have decided to take the situation in hand.Says one: “Yes, there are daycare employee unions.But when workers complain, everybody assumes they only care about salaries and working conditions.Well, we’re the parents, and we care about our kids.” Murder trial postponed Houle said he became uneasy about the raid after hearing that neither weapons nor money from the robbery were found in the motel room, but said he continued to consider the two men prime sus pects in the case believing that a third person might have disappeared with the loot and the weapons.For this reason, he said, he main tained an armed guard over Beaumont’s hospital room until he was released at mid-day December 24.PUT ON DESK DUTY Houle said he called a meeting of the police high command and the three detectives immediately after the detectives had returned to headquarters following the raid and said that after having heard the detectives' version of what had happened, ordered Castonguay and Dion transferred to clerical duties and restricted Salvail to the investigation of one case only — that of the robbery-murder of Charland at the Pascal store in the Carrefour de 1’Estrie shopping centre.Houle said this decision was taken as an administrative decision rather than as a disciplinary one and added that the decision was taken before he knew that Beaudoin had died from his wounds.Debate also continued Wednesday over the admissibility as evidence of tape recorded telephone and radio communications of police officers during the investiga- tion of the hold-up.Police lawyers argued that the recordings cannot be used because they contain privileged information that might lead to the unmasking of police informants.Leclerc, however, contends that all references which might identify informers can be deleted.Gosselin gave police and municipal lawyers until June 26 to give evidence backing their contentions The Police Commission, a government-appointed advisory body, has the power to subpoena testimony and evidence, and may make recommendations, but these are not binding on either the police or the municipality.The inquiry continues today.RirORO I'llOTOHRANII SIMF.ON Tom Elliot, Tie/communciations executive vice-president (left), and Charles Terreault, vice-president (engineering) at Bell Canada, put their ‘John Hancocks’ on a $15.8-million supply contract for business phones made at Tie's Sherbrooke plant.Tie lands $15.8-million Bell contract SHERBROOKE (PS) — Tie/ communications Inc.plugged into the Bell Canada network Tuesday when it signed a $15.8-million, two-year contract with the telephone company to supply it with pushbutton business phones.It’s the second supply deal Tie’s Sherbrooke plant has made with Bell, following closely on the heels of one worth $20-million over three years signed in 1984.The new work doesn’t mean, however, that there will be more jobs available at Tie.And part of the deal still has to be approved by the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).The new contract is for Tie’s Meritor 612 model, which is assembled and tested at the Sherbrooke plant, located in the city’s industrial park.The parts are made mostly in the U.S., according to Maurice Bougie, plant manager.The Meritor is equipped with two computer memories.It provides .all the things modern business phones should, including ‘teleconferencing’ and a way to prevent employees from making longdistance calls to relatives.QUALITY ASSURANCE Tie executive vice-president Tom Elliot said being one of Bell’s 5,000 Canadian suppliers is a “very good quality assurance factor.” He said it is a boost to the company because Bell has very strict product testing standards.But the new contract won’t mean any more jobs in Sherbrooke — for the time being, anyway.Bougie said the plant, which presently employs 396, will decrease its exports to the U.S.in order to make room for the increased Canadian demand.He said the move has been in Tie’s game plan since the plant was opened in Sherbrooke early last year Bougie also said that the plant could double its capacity and personnel at any time, but that probably won’t happen for at least 18 months.As well, Tie and Bell must still clear one more hurdle before the new contract is finalized.The CRTC is expected to rule next week on the proposed rates for the Meri tor 612.A negative ruling could delay the deal, or even cancel it.That is extremely unlikely, however.Bell assistant vice-president (engineering) Charles Terreault says the worst that might happen is the CRTC will ask for more information or apply conditions to its approval of the rates.“It would be very surprising if it wasn’t approved,” Terreault said.ETRSB assistant director resigning Wendell Sparkes.Going to Manitoba.here.” By Bobby Fisher LENNOXVILLE — Wendell Sparkes has resigned from the Eastern Townships Regional School Board (ETRSB) after 12 years of service.His resignation was submitted and accepted at a board meeting Wednesday night.The 46-year-old assistant director general and director of secondary education services at the ETRSB has been hired as superintendant of schools at the Seine River School Division in Manitoba.His office will be in St.Anne, a suburb of Winnipeg The title of superintendant of schools in Manitoba carries the same responsibilities as director general in Quebec.“With the integration of the two boards and the declining population (of anglophones), it is a good time to make a change,” Sparkes said in a telephone interview this morning.“I’m very impressed with the opportunity and the organization they have” in the Seine River district.Sparkes, who was director-general of the ETRSB for 10 years before an administrative restructuring two years ago, finishes with the ETRSB June 30 and assumes his new duties August 1, He said he feels the experience he has gained with the ETRSB — and the matters that arise from working in a bi cultural system such as Quebec's — will aid him in Manitoba, where language has been a hot issue recently.“I hope what I’ve

RECORD—Thursday, June 20, 1985 —_____frgl isecora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Foolishness It seems a sense of reason has finally returned to the troubled shipyards of Marine Industries, as workers have finally agreed to return to their jobs after a devastating labor dispute nearly spelled a death warrant for the heavy equipment manufacturer.Workers at the company’s Sorel and Tracy shipyards walked off the job last August over deadlocked contract negotiations, but the situation reached an impasse in October when frustration turned to violence and resulted in the firing of seven workers who later faced criminal charges.Under the new agreement, ratified by 96 per cent of the company’s workers, the firings have been replaced by suspensions of up to a maximum of two years.The length of the suspensions will be determined by an arbitration board.The Marine Industries dispute, complicated by the fact that the company is 65 per cent owned by the Quebec government, is one of the most glaring recent examples of confrontational attitudes gone haywire in labor relations.Having already lost over $8 million in contracts since the strike began, Marine Industries faced a possible complete shutdown if the strike had not ended, and the company must still scramble to salvage over $40 million worth of deals with the Canadian Wheat Board and the federal government.While it is beyond question the right of workers to organize and strike if necessary to protect their interests, the workers at Marine Industries went a big step further when they sanctioned the use of violence and criminal activity as a strategic manoeuvre.While solidarity is a wonderful thing, when it is used to cover such activity, it becomes a menace not only to society, but to the workers themselves.When workers turned to violence last October, the validity of their grievances became a secondary issue.What emerged as the paramount concern, however, was the fact that intolerable criminal activity was being condoned and supported as a legitimate bargaining tool.This we cannot accept.There are very few places in the world where workers’ rights are so strongly protected as they are right here in Quebec.Because of this, Quebecers as a whole have a right to expect civilized behaviour when disputes do break out.The return to goon squad tactics by either side cannot be tolerated.Marine Industries, it is true, should have awaited the court’s decision on the charges against the seven before firing them, but as four of five already tried have been convicted, there should be no question of those four being rehired.The fact that they have been — albeit in rather punitive circumstances — can only encourage further violence in labor disputes.The workers at Marine Industries came very close to destroying their employer and, subsequently, their communities — not to mention their own livelihoods.Fortunately, reason finally prevailed.The fact remains however, that a lack of restraint on the part of a few individuals nearly cost over a thousand jobs and threatened the very existence of two Quebec communities.Let’s hope somebody learned something that can help us avoid a similar stand-off.This province cannot afford that kind of foolishness.MICHAEL McDEVITT Bruce Levett How do you go to the bathroom in space?Well, it’s like this.Astronaut Bill Pague has been travelling and lecturing on his experiences in space since he got back from 84 days orbiting Earth in Skylab 4 — more than 10 years ago.No matter where in the world he went, the above question kept cropping up — so he wrote a book on life in the outer regions and called it that: How Do You Go To The Bathroom In Space?Now, don’t get the wrong idea.This is a serious work.It’s just that Pogue’s inherent good humor keeps, well, bubbling up throughout.“After hundreds of presentations I found that questions in Bhutan weren’t much different from those in Wichita.” he says in an accompanying note.“I finally started keeping a log of them and that’s how the book was born.” A few for-instances: What happens to your body in space?In Pogue’s case, he “grew" two inches in the weightless conditions.(He shrank back down to size when he got back to Earth.) How did you exercise?He used an exercise bike.However, he had to have his feet fixed to the pedals and had to hrace his head against the ceiling to keep from rising from the saddle at every stroke Housekeeping, Pogue tells us, is more simple in space than on Earth They didn’t wash their dirty clothes — they just threw them away in on-board waste bins.And how did they keep cool during space walks — some of which lasted up to seven hours?Easy — water cooled long johns.Another frequent question was “did you miss sex?' Pogue replies “yes — the thought did occur to me from time to time.” It took a while for the astronauts to acclimatize once they were back on Earth.“I drove off the right shoulder of the road twice du ring my first week back," Pogue writes, adding that a friend remarked that this was not at all unusual for a Goldwater fan.Another problem was the tendency to fall out of hed, so used to "floating” out in a state of weightlessness were the fliers.But you're not interested in all this stuff, are you You want to know How Do You Go To The Bathroom In Space.Well, there is this special cabinet, see, with all sorts of filters and blowers and there’s really no problem.Generally.However, if you are outside on a space walk there are other arrangements which come into play — too grisly to describe here.Suffice it to say that none of the Skylab 4 crew tried it.^fjuffic^MtH^a^jdsmJhaHheJjookMsjijlel^^ Soviet system stuck in ‘welfare’ mentality The Soviet Union is once again under new management, and this time the man sounds like he really means it.Mikhail Gorbachev is relatively young, vigorous, and determined to make the Soviet economy efficient.So the heads roll and the decrees pour out — but can even Gorbache achieve more than a marginal change in the way things work?It matters very much to the Soviet government, because its present low growth rate is causing it to fall steadily further behind the West.It matters just as much to ordinary Soviet citizens, who are fed up with the eternal scarcities of consumer goods.The people, however, are actually a large part of the problem.“The queue — any queue — is a perfect illustration of what Gorbachev is up against,” said a Soviet economist recently.“Despite all our achievements, 68 years after the Revolution we still cannot produce basic commodities.We are always laying the basis for future abundance while spending our daily lives in an endless search for everyday goods." The key to Gorbachev’s dilemma (and that of every Soviet leader) lies in the words of the exiled Soviet writer Alexander Zinoviev : “To have the positive elements you must also have the negative elements.In the Soviet Union you have cheap housing and a guaranteed job.But you also have bad housing and stupendous inefficiency; you cannot have one without the other.” PROFOUND UNCONCERN Most foreign comment on the Soviet regime forcusses on its imperialism Gwynne Dyer abroad and its repressiveness at home, but those are subjects of profound unconcern for most Soviet citizens.Russians in particular tend to regard the Poles and the inhabitants of the other Soviet protectorates in Eastern Europe as an unreliable lot who should be properly grateful for Soviet defence and economic aid.As for the few Soviet dissidents who feel the full weight of the regime’s repressive apparatus, they are generally regarded as misguided fools.Most Soviet citizens are proud of their country’s superpower status, and approve of a ‘strong’ regime which will control their naturally anarchistic tendencies.It is almost always in their role as consumers that Soviet citizens feel dissatisfied with the regime — and well they might be.Given the country’s immense natural wealth, its huge industrial establishment and its very well-educated population, the Soviet Union ought to be providing a much higher living standard for its citizens.But they are, nevertheless, in many ways the most coddled consumers in the world.AVERAGE WAGES Average Soviet wages have risen by 140 percent in the past 25 years, and pensions and allowances have gone up almost ten times in value, while retail prices have only risen 43 per cent in the last four decades.Rents have not been increased since 1928, the price of bread is the same as in 1953 — and Pravda’s price rose five years ago for the first time since 1912.When prices do go up, it is almost always only on luxury goods, and given the very low price of necessities most Soviet citizens can still afford the luxuries if only they can find them.Between 1965 and 1978 the proportion of families with TV sets rose from 24 per cent to 82 per cent, while the number of refrigerators increased sevenfold to 78 per cent.Car ownership is spreading so rapidly that Moscow and other big cities now have traffic jams.Nor is it altogether true that the low price of food and other basics is counterbalanced by their sheer unavailability.Decent cuts of meat are notoriously rare in Soviet shops, for example — but this overlooks the fact that most Russians eat their main meal in the middle of the day in factory dining halls or street cafeterias, where meat supplies are much better.MEAT AND VEGETABLES In the 13 years to 1978, the average Soviet citizen’s annual consumption of meat and vegetables rose from 113 kilogrammes to 147, while his intake of bread and potatoes dropped from 290 kilogrammes to 260.In fact, the main reason the Soviet Union has to import large quantities of grain is to feed its livestock, so as to produce more meat for the consumers.The fly in the ointment is that this coddling of the consumers requires enormous subsidies.For example, the state now buys meat from peasants for twice the price it charges to the consumer, with the government making up the difference : it has been calculated that the state subsidy on meat eaten by pet dogs comes to $2 billion a year.The Soviet Union is the ultimate welfare state: “To each according to his needs.” All the basic necessities of life are very cheap or free, and you cannot ever lose your job.True, many of the non-essential things of life are also very scarce, but that is what the ubiquitous queues are there for : to ration the goodies.People are an ungrateful lot, and Soviet citizens no less than anyone else.They take the benefits of the system for granted — cheap food, housing and transport, free education and medical care, guaranteed jobs — and complain bitterly about the poor quality and frequent scarcity of goods that are part of the same package.BASIC NECESSITIES But most of them could not imagine any other system, and neither could their rulers.This, after all, is what the ideology was about: providing everyone with the basic necessities of life on a more or less equal basis.But it does mean that the new regime’s efforts to make Soviet citizens work harder are probably doomed to failure.After all, why should they?I?a little Ottawa humor.Alberta may opt out] EDMONTON (CP) •— Albertans may want to opt out of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms if that’s what it takes to control drunk driving, Solicitor General Ian Reid said Wednesday.The comment marks the second time an Alberta cabinet minister has said the provincial government might use the Charter's “notwithstanding” clause.The clause allows Parliament and provincial legislatures to.suspend the Charter as it applies to specific laws.Attorney General Neil Crawford said more than a year ago that Alberta will use the power, if necessary, to protect a provincial law prohibiting civil service strikes.A constitutional challenge to that law has been taken to the Supreme Court of Canada, but no decision has yet been rendered.Recent court rulings limiting police powers to deal with impaired drivers are ‘‘aiming a double-barrelled shotgun” at the campaign against drunk driving, Reid said Wednesday.“I would be prepared to put money down that the vast majority of the population would approve of notwithstanding clauses being used in these cases because of the nature of the results of the offence,” he said in an interview.DECISION REMAINS Crawford, the attorney general, said Tuesday the province had not yet considered opting out of the Charter as it may apply to drunk driving, and was trying to decide whether to appeal a recent ruling on 24-hour licence suspensions.From bridges to fences—how damaging is acid rain?By Juliet O'Neill ARLINGTON, Va.(CP) — Robert Baboian is a kind of acid rain sleuth.Three weeks ago his laboratory specialists were checking its effects on cars in Montreal.Since then he’s been up the Statue of Liberty’s arm to test the effects of corrosion on the famous monument in New York harbor.The head of the corrosion laboratory of Texas Instruments Inc.of Attleboro, Mass., Baboian’s findings are among those presented Tuesday at a conference of experts trying to document how acid rain is eroding materials, ranging from skyscrapers and monuments to bridges and backyard fences.Citing estimates of $50 billion worth of materials damage from acid rain yearly in the United States, Baboian explained that chemical acids attack concrete, limestone, marble, brick.stucco, bonding agents in brick and mortar, as well as metals, wood, cotton, paints and plastics.“The materials problems are really formidable,” he said, adding that damage to historical and cultural objects cannot be quantified in dollars.The findings from a survey of 2,000 cars in Montreal showed that heavy corrosion of cars documented in the early ’70s has almost disappeared.But not because acid rain has been beaten.Instead, in recent years car manufacturers have been using different materials and designs aimed at protecting cars from street salt used to melt ice in winter and from acidic deposits in rain, snow and fog caused by industrial and other pollution.SOLVED PROBLEM “It really has solved the problem,” Baboian said.Two key manufacturing changes he cited are the use of galvanized steel in lower body parts and elimination of dirt and water traps inside cars.Galvanized steel is coated with zinc which retards corrosion.The first survey showed perforation corrosion — when salt and acid eats its way from the inside of a car and causes holes — occurred in 20 per cent of Montreal cars after two years, 50 per cent after four years and 90 per cent after six years.The latest survey showed no such corrosion in cars built in the last five years.There were similar findings in car surveys in Detroit and Boston.Cosmetic corrosion, where car trim is creased or peeling, is more common in Montreal than the other two cities, however, probably because more salt is used on Montreal streets.But Baboian found a different story on the Statue of Liberty.The beautiful green patina of her copper skin has turned black on the side most exposed to wind and rain.Her neck is streaked with giant rust stains.Corrosion has severely damaged the iron structure that holds her up and some of the rivets that hold her | together have popped open.There is peeling paint, pock marks and a torch severely damaged by decades of water leaking in.One finding that excited Baboian is a panel of copper on Liberty’s arm that remained normal while others have eroded.If the exact contents of that copper can be deciphered and reproduced, Balboian might have an acid rain proof metal on his hands.He already holds 15 patents on materials and electrochemical processes.The statue, owned by the U S.National Park Service, is being restored at a cost of about $40 million with help from private groups who have been campaigning for funds.Baboian is a consultant on the project scheduled for completion by July 4, 1986.Court battle coining over drug tests in public schools By A1 Colletti NEW YORK (CP) - Educators willing to test the constitutionality of mandatory drug tests to ferret out abusers in the public schools of the United States face a bitter court challenge from civil libertarians.The first test case probably will result from a small New Jersey high school’s decision requiring blood and urine tests of its 516 students next semester Educators across the United States and Canada are watching keenly how the Becton Regional High School of East Rutherford in the Meadowlands will fare in curbing reported widespread student use of drugs.Becton probably is the first publie school in the United States to take such sweeping action.Reaction of parents and students in the Becton school district has been mixed.The main opponent so far is the the American Civil Liberties Union which says it will take school officials to court if the drug program is implemented The ACLU says Becton’s compulsory testing violates the students’ constitutional rights and is an invasion of privacy.DIFFER ON RIGHTS School officials argue the test doesn't infringe on student rights because police won’t be involved.But that seems to be only an early assessment Police could be brought in later The officials insist they haven’t yet decided on punitive measures for students who flunk the test.School Supt.Alfred Marbaise says students who test positive for drug use would be put on home study until further urine samples indicated they were free of drugs.Public support for stricter drug and alcohol policies in schools is growing.As a result, schools are taking a harder line on usage.Some schools use plainclothes police to thwart drug traffickers.Henry Miller, executive director of the New Jersey Principals and Super visors Association, says Becton’s decision is an example of how attitudes change.Such a move would have been “unthinkable" 10 years ago.he says But Donald Rosser, associate director of the New Jersey Education Association, the state’s largest school employees association, calls the Becton action “unreasonable for kids” as well as illegal.PUSHED BY PARENTS Miller says parents are telling school administators to crack down on drug and alcohol abuse.Under the Becton program, stu dents would be screened for a variety of drugs at a cost of $12.50 a student paid by the school.Students would have the choice ol taking the urine test at school or ha ving it given by their family doctor Parental consent forms would be re quired, but failure to consent to the test would lead to immediate dismis sal from school.Civil libertarians say the test couk be challenged on several grounds.Deborah Karpatkin, an ACLU la wyer in New York, says Becton is im posing “a wholesale dragnet search,’ abandoning the constitutional right o individualized suspicion.The fourth amendment of the U S Constitution prohibits randoi searches.“This is pretty drastic,” says chil rights authority Alan Sussman.“This is really an invasion of th body That’s an extreme violation the right to privacy." t

Laurel Sherrer MAGOG — The Association Touristique Magog-Orford (AT-MO) announced earlier this week that the Ministry of Transport has decided to allow the old toll station at the Magog exit on the autoroute to be turned into a tourist information bureau.The ATMO made the request to the Ministry of Transport last October because members thought the autoroute location would be more accessible to tourists than the office beside the lake in Magog.“The main advantage is to have the tourist bureau where the tourists go by,” said Armand Paré, ATMO secretary.“Here we miss all the people going by on

the ATE in Decern ber, but the ATE wanted more details.“We said we were interested and happy with the proposal, but first we wanted a feasibility study,” said ATE president Paul Lessard.“We haven’t yet received it.” WHO WILL PAY?“We’d like to know who will pay,” he said.Léonard Turgeon, president of the ATMO, argued that all they needed was a letter to the Ministry of Transport saying the ATE was in favor of the general idea.Lessard said such a letter would be sent right away.The Ministry of Transport has said it will take care of the changes that have to be made to the entrance to the bureau.The ATMO has estimated the cost of setting up the bureau at $80,000, and the annual operating budget at $80,000 as well.Paré said the association is hoping to get financing from the municipalities, the Memphrema-gog MRC, from various regional organizations, and from a room reservation service.He stressed that negotiations for funding are at a preliminary stage,, although the organizations have given their agreement in principle.The service could make $30,000 a year by taking a commission on rooms reserved throughout the region, said Paré.There has been a good response to the idea among hotel owners in the region, he said.There will also be some revenue from articles sold at the bureau, such as maps and souvenirs.Former Record owner shaking up Fleet Street printers unions By Paul Koring LONDON (CPI — On Fleet Street, the Knowlton Advertiser and the Stockport Messenger are suddenly origins of interest — and some concern The two papers — one a tiny Quebec weekly that was soon renamed the astern Townships Advertiser, and the other a non-union free-circulation provincial newspaper in northern England — were the starting points for Conrad Blaek and Eddie Shah.Black, the Canadian financier who has gone from 24-year-old publisher of the Advertiser and The Record to head of a financial empire in just 16 years, now has positioned himself to eventually control The Telegraph.Britain’s leading conservative daily.Shah, who battled the print and journalists unions and won in Northern England, now plans to launch a new daily newspaper that will avoid bloated Fleet Street manning levels by using technology which has been commplace in North America for a decade.Both men, and their impact on the newspaper industry in Britain, are currently the talk of Fleet Street.They are the latest in a long and often-distinguished list of powerful individuals attracted to the limelight and profit potential of Britain’s newspaper industry.Press barons are part of the country’s national newspaper scene.They stir strong emotions, wield considerable power in a nation of avid newspaper readers, and often have more trouble than they expect in changing the deeply entrenched status quo.Generally, the ones currently on the scene, like Australian Rupert Murdoch who owns upmarket The Times and its unlikely stablemate, The Sun.which comes complete Conrad Black.Started in the Townships.with fabricated interviews, bare breasts and the largest English-language circulation in the world, engender little warmth.However, former barons, like Canadians Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Thompson seem — with the soothing passage of time —- to be remembered with a mixture of awe, affection, and tales of the “good old days.’’ Shah.Murdoch and Black may eventually achieve similar status.In the meantime they all face the struggle to drag Fleet Street kicking and screaming into the world of computer typsesetting, satellite trasmission and color printing.So far Murdoch has won some gains from the unions but now has apparently turned his attention to television in North America.Few expect Black to be the “passive’' partner that he was described as by The Telegraph.But even if he eventually takes control of the 130-year-old daily, he, like Murdoch and Thompson before him at The Times, will inherit a massively overstaffed newspaper where prestige and credibility don’t pay the bills.The Telegraph, which ini- tially attracted Black by its efforts to raise $175 million to finance a new printing works, is expected to lose $1.4 million this year.And slugging it out on Fleet Street has often become tiresome for tycoons with other interests.So Shah, the 41-year-old son of an Iranian diplomat father and an English mother, may turn out to have the best shot at modernizing Fleet Street.With a new product, unencumbered by thousands of printers and compositors who enjoy jobs-for-life union contracts, the maverick from the provinces may have more success than his "colonial’’ counterparts He will inherit nothing but the antipathy from the unions after his landmark 1983 victory over the powerful, 129,000-member National Graphical Association.He fired six of the union's printers, rejected a union closed shop at his plant in Warrington, defied thousands of pickets and won a lawsuit that culminated in a $1.3-million Canadian fine against the union.However, he may actually be helped, or at least not hindered, by other newspaper barons.Already, Czech-born Robert Maxwell, the new owner and publisher of The Mirror, is seeking concessions from the unions based on the need to meet Shah’s challenge.Indeed, assuming Shah’s still-unnamed paper actually gets under way as a non-union operation, it may provide the lever other Fleet Street owners so desperately want to cut force manning down to a reasonable and profitable level.Other publishers will doubtless fear for their circulation and advertising.But, commented the indépendant Financial Times, if Shah’s new newspaper makes it, “he will have done the Fleet Street proprietors a big favor" by humbling the unions.Growing delicate mushrooms a full-time job for Alberta family By Mark Lisac ARDROSSAN, Alta.(CP) — Brent Schwabe is a prairie farmer, but you won’t find him driving a combine through wheat fields or rounding up cattle out on the range.Schwabe farms indoors, cultivating a sun-shunning crop — mushrooms.“There’s nothing else I’d rather do,” said the curly-haired Schwabe, after a walk through the 7,430 square metres of scrubbed concrete and wood enclosures on his Superior Mushroom Farms Ltd., about 20 kilometres east of Edmonton.Commercial mushroom production may sound simple — it’s basically growing fungus on manure — but the mushroom is one of nature’s most delicate organisms.It has the fineness of spider’s silk and is vulnerable to attack by moulds like botrytys and truffle disease.A mature mushroom can produce a million spores a minute.But they are so tiny that once they start dropping from the mushroom’s gills, they can take 45 seconds to drop 10 centimetres.WORK LONG HOURS Tending such a delicate crop is a seven-day-a-week, 12-to 14-hour-a-day job for Schwabe and his brothers.Norm and Gary.Brent, who dons work clothes and rubber boots for his chores each day, is head grower.Norm is assistant grower and labor manager, supervising the 11 full-time and 50 part-time workers.Gary looks after sales.Temperature and humidity in each of the farm’s 17 growing rooms must be carefully controlled.Even the carbon dioxide content in the air is important; changing it can either spur mushroom growth, or stop it during a two-day picking session.It sounds like an operation made for computers.“Only computers don’t work so good,” Brent Schwabe said.“You’ve still got to go into the room.” The three-month growing cycle starts with preparation of U.S., Soviet Union end farm co-operation freeze MOSCOW (Reuter) —The United States and the Soviet Union agreed Tuesday to resume agricultural co-operation, thawing relations which cooled over Moscow’s intervention in Afghanistan five years ago.American experts will advise the Soviet Union how to increase grain production, repeatedly below target in recent years.In return, the United States hopes to broaden its range of agricultural exports to the Russians.Business briefs OTTAWA (CP) — Canada exported $1.4 billion more in autos and auto parts to the United States in the first three months of the year than it imported, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.The surplus surpassed the $1.2 billion recorded in the same period last year, but represented the smallest increase in four years.When automotive trade with the rest of the world is measured, the trade surplus is more than halved because of the $829-million deficit Canada has in overseas automotive trade.This deficit is up $133 million from the corresponding period last year.The growing automotive trade deficit with countries other than the United States comes at a time when the federal government is negotiating a new agreement with Japan.The figures show Japanese car imports were down 0.9 per cent to 38,800 units in the first quarter and the import share dropped to 16.3 per cent from 18.5 per cent.However, more recent figures show that shipments of Japanese automobiles to Canada increased in April and May.• GENEVA Nov.22) Your
