German police make first arrest in spy scandal '^icks “Okay, so I goofed.What’s wrong with walking backwards?” BONN (AP-Reuter) — Authorities said they have arrested their first suspect in connection with West Germany’s spreading spy scandal, a secretary newspapers reported was an employee of the president’s office.Intelligence officials plan to meet today to discuss rebuilding their operations after the defection to East Germany last week of a leading counter-espionage official, government sources said.Chancellor Helmut Kohl is to meet with Interior Minister Friedrich Zimmermann to assess the political damage wrought by the scandal.Alexander Prechtel, a spokesman for the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, said Sunday the secretary was arrested Saturday night.He declined to identify her or give further details.However, the newspaper Die Welt said the secretary worked in President Richard von Wei-zaecker’s office, a development that would mark the first time the scandal has touched Bonn’s executive branch.A Reuters report identified the secretary as Margarete Hoeke, 51, who had worked in the president’s office for more than 20 years.The report, quoting unnamed security sources, said the woman was an assistant to von Wei-zaecker’s departmental chief for foreign affairs and would have had access to all messages to and from West German embassies abroad, and reports on the president’s meetings with foreign leaders.Officials expect to make three other espionage-related arrests in the next few days, the Cologne-based Express newspaper said.The secretary was the fifth government employee sought in connection with the spy case.There have been no arrests in the othercases.Prosecutors are already investigating the counterespionage agent, two government employees and a Bonn lobbyist.Zimmermann was angered by media reports Hans Joachim Tiedge, the counter-espionage official who defected, was a debt-ridden problem drinker who should never have held a top espionage job, a Bonn chancellory official said.The interior minister was not told ranking intelligence directors knew Tiedge had personal problems.“Zimmermann is furious,” said the official.On Friday, East Germany's ADN news agency reported Tiedge fled to East Berlin and asked for political asylum.Government sources who spoke on condition of anonymity said some Interior Ministry officials are demanding the resignation of Heribert Hellenbroich, the director of the West German intelli gence service.The spy scandal began Aug.6, when Sonja Lueneburg, a longtime aide to to Economics Minister Martin Bangemann, was reported missing.Authorities said they opened an investigation of her.Garon victory Agriculture minister outpoints opponents at Sherbrooke meet By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE - There were no clear winners on the stage Sunday but the team of Agriculture Minister Jean Garon easily stole the back-room contest among stage managers as six hopefuls for the Parti Québécois leadership spoke at a lengthy rally for party members here.Garon’s gang started early, packing a prominent section of a University of Sherbrooke amphitheatre over an hour before showtime and keeping up a noisy presence until the end more than four hours later.Bussed in from as far away as Quebec City, they out-shouted the more numerous supporters of Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson, the apparent frontrunner in the race to Sept.29, when PQ members will choose a new leader by secret ballot.Apart from the carefully managed shows of support, there was little of the usual action associated with political leadership meetings, with lacklustre speeches, no debate among the candidates and no chance to ask or answer questions from the floor.TRAFFIC LIGHTS Each candidate had 18 minutes to speak, with a green light on the stage turning yellow when two minutes remained and red when the speaker's time was up — a trick borrowed from the Rotary service club’s high-school public-speaking contests.The only negative reaction from the polite crowd of 1300 who nearly filled the Salle Maurice O’Bready was reserved for Johnson, who claims to have the Eastern Townships vote wrapped up.Johnson rose to the bait offered by indépen-danriste-tokenist Guy Bertrand, who said he was the only one among the six candidates who “really stands for independence, not sovereignty-association.” The boos came when Johnson re-plied.“Political sovereignty without economic development is a never-never-land,” Johnson said.“I want dreams but not nightmares” about the future of Quebec.SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY’ Bertrand, a fiery orator, spoke first.He said he is the only candidate whose political philosophy makes him a worthy heir to René Lévesque.“I sense something extraordinary in Quebec in the last few weeks.” “Independence is the only way to get real economic prosperity for the people of Quebec,” Bertrand said.“And I am the only candidate to talk independence.Once René Lévesque was the only one to talk about independence,” he added.“Now 1 am the only one.I invite the other candidates to get back to the spirit of the referendum, to spread the word in every town, in every parish.” Bertrand, a Quebec City lawyer, said he has all the requirements of a good leader.“I have the three qualifications of leadership,” he said.“I have faith, conviction and determination.” Returning to his pet theme, he said the PQ is threatened from within.“We must not let the PQ become the first political party in history to be the victim of a highjacking.Quebec is split between the blue fleur de lys and the red maple.But we must get rid of this old-fashioned complex.Federalism is an outdated idea.” “Quebecers don’t want to run around in short pants any more.” Bertrand repeated the message he left in Sherbrooke in an earlier appearance last week, saying the only hope for Quebec to survive is economic union with the United See PQ page 3 .0 .,.Q fttïfï -, \ 1 RECORD PERRY BEATON Quebec Agriculture Minister Jean Garon was the winner on points at the Parti Québécois’ leadership gathering in Sherbrooke Sunday.Desmond Tutu’s son held by South African cops JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Police detained black Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu’s eldest son today for allegedly swearing at a black policeman, witnesses said.The witnesses said Tutu’s son, Trevor, was at the Protea Magistrate’s Court where hearings were to begin for some of the more than 300 youngsters arrested last week for allegedly boycotting schools in Soweto, the black township outside Johannesburg.Protea is part of Soweto.Trevor Tutu remarked aloud about how young the suspects were and a policeman took him to the prosecutors office where he was warned about speaking out in court, witnesses said.Maine plane crash kills 8 AUBURN, Me.(API — Samantha Smith, the schoolgirl whose wish for peace resulted in a highly publicized tour of the Soviet Union as the guest of Yuri Andropov, is presumed dead along with her father and six other people in a plane crash, her mother said today.The Bar Harbor Airlines Beech-craft 99 plane crashed and exploded Sunday night about a kilometre from the Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport, authorities said.At daybreak today, officials were still attempting to make positive identification of the six passengers and two crew members, but the mother of 13-year-old Samantha said she assumes her husband and daughter were among the dead.“I went to the site,” Jane Smith said this morning.“It's just a pile of ashes.” Samantha Smith attracted worldwide attention two years ago when she wrote to then-Soviet leader Andropov expressing concern about the potential for nuclear war.Kremlin leaders responded by inviting her on a two-week, all-expenses-paid tour of the Soviet Union.RECOVER BODIES Dr.Henry Ryan, chief state medical examiner, said rescue workers have recovered the bodies of six passengers and two crew members, but none has been identified.“The fire department tells me they have, in their opinion, identified eight separate bodies,” Ryan said.A man who answered the telephone at the Smith residence in Manchester, who identified himself as a family friend, said Samantha and her father were to have taken the Bar Ha rbor flight in Boston after a flight from London.Samantha had begun filming a weekly ABC-TV action-adventure show Lime Street, in which she was playing the daughter of an insurance investigator played by Robert Wagner.ABC publicist Jim Butler said in New York today the series was currently filming in London, but he did not know when Samantha last worked.Police took the younger Tutu into custody when he used profanity to characterize the officer’s advice, the witnesses said.The son of the Johannesburg bishop, a leading opponent of apartheid and 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was driven to a police station in another part of Soweto.It was not immediately clear if any charges were filed.Neither the bishop nor his wife, Leah, were at their offices or home to comment on the incident.Police in Soweto said they had no immediate comment.Elsewhere, Rev.Allan Boesak, a leading campaigner against apartheid, did not appear for a court date today, two days after saying he feared being arrested for demanding the release of Nelson Mandela.More than 600 blacks have been killed during the year in rioting against apartheid.South Africa’s system of racial segregation under which five million whites govern 24 million voteless blacks.REPORT SHOOTING Police said South Africa was "relatively calm” overnight.However, they reported that a policeman fired his gun on a crowd of blacks throwing stones near Bur-gersdorp in northern Cape pro vince, “seriously wounding a black woman.” Boesak, president of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, was to appear in Wynberg Magistrate's Court near Cape Town this morning.He and 18 others face charges of trying to enter a riot- * torn black township last month when police had said no one but residents could go into the prea.Boesak did not show up for the court date.One of his lawyers said he sought to have the hearing postponed.The minister on Friday announced a mass march in Cape Town, set for Wednesday, for the release from prison of Mandela, the most influential leader of South Africa’s blacks The next day, after police detained 27 anti-apartheid activists, Boesak said he feared being arrested for announcing the march on Pollsmoor.Oscar Mpetha, an ailing 75-year-old anti-apartheid leader, began serving a five-year jail term Sunday in Cape Town on a terrorism conviction after officials refused to waive his sentence In neighboring Namibia, police said they arrested 52 people at a meeting marking the 19th anniversary of the start of a guerrilla war for independence.Police announced over the weekend they had arrested 27 supporters of the Front.Among them was Farouk Meer, the organization’s acting president.The anniversary meeting in Windhoek's black Katutura district was organized by the South-West African People's Organization, SWAPO, to mark Namibia Day — the anniversary of the first clash between independence-seeking insurgents and South African troops on Aug.26, 1966.Mulroney takes north tour to bolster Tories’ sagging Quebec favor JONQUIERE, Que.(CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, his Conservatives slumping in popularity in Quebec, conducted a whirlwind, one-day tour of this northern region on the weekend and named veteran MP Roch LaSalle as the top Tory in the province.Mulroney, participating in a three-day meeting of the Tory’s Quebec caucus, said on Saturday that Quebec had probably profited more than any other province from improved federal-provincial relations under the Tory government, and promised that this “policy of reconciliation” would continue.He also said that Ottawa would intervene in the fierce rivalry between Ontario and Quebec over the location of a Toyota car plant despite a statement to the contrary by Industry Minister Sinclair Stevens.The tour of Jonquiere and nearby Chicoutimi, 150 kilometres north of Quebec City, by the native of Baie-Comeau, Que., was apparently aimed at bolstering the party’s sagging Quebec flank.A Gallup poll published this month suggested Tory support in the province had fallen below that for the Liberals for the first time since the Conservatives were elected last September.500 ATTEND The day’s tightly scheduled activities included a free bar for the party faithful, a partisan dinner that attracted about 500 and a meeting with all but three of the Tories’ 58 Quebec MPs.Mulroney acknowledged that the Quebec caucus had made a few mistakes in the past year.He did not outline the mistakes.But overall, the prime minister said, he was “personally proud” of the performance by Quebec’s Conservative MPs.“They are acting effectively, with enormous competence,” he told reporters on his arrival at the caucus meeting.“We are young.We are in for the first time.There were perhaps certain errors along the way, of course.But our accomplishments are considerable — in great part because of Quebec MPs.” In an apparent bid to shape up the Quebec wing, Mulroney announced that he had appointed LaSalle, minister of supply and services, as chairman of the Conservative organizing commitee in Quebec.“He will be number one in the Quebec organization,” Mulroney said.LaSalle, the only Tory elected in Quebec in the 1980 federal election, when the Liberals swept 74 of the 75 ridings in the province, has been the senior Quebec minister for contracts and appointments.APPROVED CONTRACT Last month, LaSalle acknowledged that he had personally approved a contract — without first calling for tenders — to a company to manage a summer festival at Montreal’s Old Port.The company, Cominter Inc., was later declared bankrupt and the festival was shut down, throwing dozens of employees out of work.Saying Quebec has benefited the most from his government, Mulroney cited a $1.6 billion agreement for regional economic development, the creation of 77,000 jobs in Quebec and a decreased unemployment rate.These and other examples show that Ottawa and Quebec “still speak to each other, understand each other and often agree with each other,” Mulroney said.He was optimistic that his second year would lead to the signing of an agreement on an international summit meeting of franco- phone countries once the status of the Quebec delegaton is settled.The issue is a longstanding irritant between Ottawa and Quebec.The previous Liberal governments refused to approve Quebec’s demand for top billing at such meetings, arguing that only the federal government can speak for the nation on the international diplomatic circuit.Brian Mulroney.Not popular but trying hard.Broadbent better party boss than Mulroney — poll OTTAWA (CP) — Canadians believe NDP Leader Ed Broadbent is doing a better job as political leader than Prime Minister Brian Mulroney or Liberal Leader John Turner, a Gallup poll suggests.Broadbent received approval for his work from 56 per cent of adults interviewed across Canada in mid-July, indicates a survey published today in Montreal and Toronto.With less than one month to go before his government’s first anniversary, Mulroney was second with 43 per cent, while Turner had 39 per cent.Gallup says its survey is accurate within four percentage points, 19 times out of 20.This means support for Broadbent could range as high as 60 per cent or as low as 52 per cent.Support for Mulroney could range between 47 and 39 per cent, while support for Turner could range between 43 and 35 per cent.The New Democratic Party leader was given the highest approval rating in every region of the country, says the poll, based on 1,050 in-home interviews.He had the most popularity in Ontario with 61 per cent.Even in Quebec, where the Conservatives swept 58 of the province’s 75 seats in the federal election last September, Broadbent’s rating was 48 per cent, compared with 45 per cent for Mulroney and 40 per cent for Turner.The survey was taken after the Conservative government decided to bow to public pressure and scrap a plan to remove some of the inflation protection from old age pen sions.Despite Broadbent’s impressive personal rating, the NDP, although making gains, still trails the Tories and the Liberals in decided voter support.A Gallup survey earlier this month suggested support for the Conservative party dropped in July to 40 per cent of decided voters from 60 per cent last October.Liberal support remained unchanged at 33 per cent, and support for the NDP rose five percentage points to 26 per cent / 2—The RECORD—Monday, August 26, 1985 British jet flew trouble-free on the day before fire, reports show LONDON (AP) — The left engine that exploded on a British charter jet, igniting a fire during takeoff that killed 54 people, had developed a mysterious fault the previous day, British newspapers reported Sunday.One newspaper.The Observer, termed the disaster a “chance-in-a-million” incident caused by failure of the only engine part that could easily rupture a fuel tank.The explosion came as the British Airtours twin-jet Boeing 737 was leaving Manchester airport Thursday for the Greek island of Corfu.Eighty-three people survived with injuries.British Airways, which owns British Airtours, and the Transport Department, whose Accident Investigation Branch heads the inquiry.said all maintenance records for the plane were impounded.The state-owned airline refused comment on the reports.Transport Department spokesman Noel Newstead told The Associated Press on Saturday he knew nothing about the reports of previous engine trouble.The department declined further comment Sunday.SLOW TO START The Sunday Express said pilots noted early last week the port engine “was slow to start and build up power and the ignition was not rieht ” It gave no source for its report.While the plane was returning from Barcelona on Wednesday, the day before the crash, the pilot noted something was wrong with the engine, the newspaper said.Engineers in Manchester repaired a fuel control unit and sent the plane to Athens and back Wednesday afternoon, The Sunday Express said, adding the trips were uneventful.But as the plane hurtled down the runway less than 24 hours later, its Pratt and Whitney JT8D-15 left engine exploded.Pratt and Whitney, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp.of East Hartford, Conn., said Friday TOKYO (AP) — The pilot of Japan Air Lines Flight 123 ignored air traffic control four times and failed to clearly identify himself as he struggled to control the jetliner before it crashed, transcripts of voice tapes released Sunday show.The pilot did not respond to instructions to change radio frequencies and identify the reason for the emergency, presumably because he was concerned with handling the wildly swerving Boeing 747.The plane crashed Aug.12 into a mountainside, killing 520 people in aviation’s worst single-plane disaster.Four people survived.The transcript does not indicate what ripped apart the jetliner's tail fin, “but it gives more accurate times down to the second’’ of the 32-minute struggle to bring the aircraft safely to earth, said an official of the Civil Aviation Bureau’s airworthiness division.Some investigators believe the rear bulkhead ruptured and released a jet of pressurized air that destroyed the tail fin.But they have not ruled out the possibility an object outside the aircraft slammed into the vertical stabilizer.REPORTS TROUBLE The transcript shows that at 6:18.38 p.m.the pilot gave ground control a routine report of the jet’s position.Six minutes and 42 seconds later he radioed: “Tokyo, Japan Air 123 request from immediate .trouble, request return back to Haneda (airport in Tokyo) In a transcript released earlier of conversations within the cabin, the pilot says: “What’s this?” at roughly the same time, and adds, "hydro all out" in a reference to the failure of the hydraulic systems that control the aircraft.Immigration bumbling caught by Air Canada TORONTO (CP) — Canadian immigration officials tried to deport an unescorted convicted terrorist to West Germany last month on an Air Canada flight without informing the airline, says an internal Air Canada memorandum.The man, referred to as “Pena-va,” who held a Yugoslavian passport and a Canadian visa, arrived from Paris on Flight 871 and was detained by the Employment and Immigration Department, says the document obtained by the Toronto Giobe and Mail.Laron Hopkins, an immigration lawyer, said Penava was recently convicted of terrorism in Europe.Officials did not inform Air Canada the man was being rejected because he is a convicted terrorist, and also "attempted to slip (him) on board .back to Paris” on July 25 without an escort, the memo says.“However, this scheme being detected and refusal to accept on our part without escort, a passenger was returned to detention centre,” the document says.Immigration officials also tried to make Penava use the return portion of his ticket for the flight, but Air Canada insisted the department pay the cost, as it is required to do under regulations for detained passengers who have visas.PAID FOR TICKET In the end, immigration officials obtained a travel warrant and paid to send Penava to Frankfurt on July 26 with an escort.Immigration officials “tried to slide out of paying,” Hopkins said.“The immigration people don’t know their own regulations.Any such person should never be allowed to travel on an international flight unescorted.I’d be frightened if I had a walk-on terrorist.” Downed Chinese plane was lost, officials claim SEOUL (AP) — Officials say the pilot of a Chinese bomber that ran out of fuel and crashed in a rice paddy is seeking political asylum in Taiwan, but China said the plane drifted off course and it wants the plane and the crew returned The crash of the twin-engine jet, which occurred late Saturday, killed the navigator and a farmer working in the paddy, South Korean officials said.The plane’s radio operator wants to return to China, the Defence Ministry said.In China, state-run Peking television said Sunday evening the jet was involved in exercises off Qingdao, a city on China’s northeast coast across the Yellow Sea from South Korea when “it drifted off course into South Korean air space and was forced to make an emer- gency landing.” China and South Korea have no diplomatic relations, but state-run South Korean television said the government was in contact with Chinese authorities in a third country, Hong Kong was generally assumed to be the meeting place.A spokesman for the South Korean Defence Ministry said South Korea will not make a decision on the crewmembers’ requests until an investigation into the case is completed.The Seoul government, in keeping with past decisions in similar circumstances, is expected to comply with the wishes of the pilot and radio operator.However, South Korea has been trying to improve relations with the Chinese recently for political and economic reasons.—____ftgJ

1A1.Second class registration number 1064.Member of Canadian Press Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation the problem centred on the combustors, which ignite air and fuel in the engine's combustion chamber.In Vancouver, a spokesman for CP Air, Jim McKeachie, said the 22 Boeing 737s it operates have different engines than the British aircraft.The Observer, giving no source for its report, said the fault has been traced to the top of one of nine small combustion chambers near the left wing.LEAVES HOLE “This exploded, leaving what one investigator described as ‘a gaping great hole’ eight inches by four inches in the underside of the Pilot ignored controller before JAL crash—tape fuel tank, "the newspaper said, not identifiying the investigator.The plane became a fireball as hundreds of litres of fuel streamed from the hole onto the exposed wreckage of the combustion chamber, the hottest part of the engine, the newspaper said.The Observer said armor plating on the engine to contain an explosion is concentrated around the fast-moving rotor blades.The newspaper said engine casing is thinnest around the combustion part that failed because it has no moving parts and rarely breaks down.“Inadequate inspection and maintenance or faulty materials are viewed as the most likely cause for the failure,” it said.British Airways meanwhile grounded one of its Boeing 747 jumbo jets after a routine inspection disclosed small holes in a seal in the tail section of the plane, officials said Sunday.The grounding comes 12 days after a Japan Air Lines 747 lost chunks of its tail during a domestic flight and crashed into a mountain, killing 520 people.A British Airways spokesman, insisting on anonymity, said a Civil Aviation Authority expert determined the holes were “an isolated and local defect and not connected with the recent 747 accident” in Japan.News-in-brief Bourassa praises Mulroney move Account of flight delay disputed CLEVELAND (AP) — A congressman aboard a United Airlines Boeing 737 flight that was delayed for 44 minutes after a valve in an engine malfunctioned disputes the airline’s account of what happened.Representative Louis Stokes (D-Ohio), said the plane was taking off Sunday when the flight was stopped.A United spokesman said the aircraft was only taxiing.“As we had started down the runway, accelerating, we suddenly heard this noise and felt the plane abruptly slow down,” Stokes said Sunday, recalling he felt the brakes applied quickly.MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa has praised Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s

reorganization of the social services network, Alliance president Michael Goldbloom said in a letter to the minister this week.Business as usual says airline MONTREAL (CP) — Air Canada dismissed Sunday union claims that the airline’s passenger business has tumbled 30 per cent since its 3,200 flight attendants went on strike eight days ago.“We haven’t seen any drop off,” said Air Canada spokesman Esther Szynkarsky.“On Saturday, 75 per cent of our seats that we flew were occupied by passengers.and that’s pretty normal for this time of year.” Air Canada flight cancelled MONTREAL (CP) — An undisclosed mechanical problem forced cancellation Sunday of an Air Canada flight from Geneva to Toronto.The Boeing 747 flight landed in Paris on a stopover and was forced to remain on the ground because of the mechanical problem, said Air Canada spokesman Terry Bradbury.Bradbury said he could not disclose the nature of the problem nor the number of passengers involved.Passengers were switched to alternate flights to complete their journey, he said.Indians want integration MONTREAL (CP) — Integration of the Indian culture with that of Canada was a main concern discussed by youths attending a two-day conference organized by the National Association of Canadians of Origins in India.“Most young people at the conference were either born in Canada or brought here at a very young age, and their concerns aren’t the same at their parents’,” said association president Shanker V.Rao at the conference which ended Sunday.‘Their parents were concerned with security, but they are concerned with adaptation and integration of their customs and beliefs in the Canadian environment.” Missing bush pilot found THUNDER BAY, Ont.(CP) - Dennis Sawyer, a bush pilot whose plane disappeared more

Johnson.Dreams, not nightmares.Continued from page I States.“We have to turn 90 degrees to the south,” he said.“Within 300 miles of here there is a market bigger than all Canada.” “Green” candidate Luc Gagnon drew the second spot at the podium.He said Quebec has failed to care for its disappearing natural resources and is placing false hopes in the development of hydroelectric power for export.“For example, Quebec used to be known for the riches of its forests.But already the province imports a lot of its hardwood and softwood.Our forests are a crucial problem, and we are heading towards economic disaster,” he said.“The same is true for many other resources,” Gagnon added.“Quebec is losing its independence as it m Highjacking.Guv Bertrand.loses the value of its resources.” Switching to neo-federalist rhetoric, Gagnon said some Quebecers "feel insecure” because their unemployment insurance payments and old-age pensions come from Ottawa.“That is nothing to be ashamed of,” Gagnon said.“We contribute to that.It belongs to us.” INSULATE; DON'T BUILD Gagnon then repeated his favorite theme, bashing the ‘second James Bay' proposal of Liberal leader Robert Bourassa.A million-and-a-half Quebec houses are under-insulated, he said, and “simply by improving the quality of housing, Quebec could save as much energy through conservation” as the Bourassa project would develop.“Saving energy is exactly the same as developing more.The dif- Jean Garon.Smarter than Napoleon was.Francine Lalonde.Went to school of ‘hard action.’ ference is that Bourassa wants to export the energy.” “That policy would make Quebec a banana republic,” Gagnon added.“If we develop more power, we must use it in Quebec.” Gagnon said that if chosen PQ leader he would force a provincewide referendum “making Quebec a nuclear-free zone, converting the industries of war into industries of development.” He also said he would bring “real decentralization” to Quebec government and added that Quebecers must “work on the ecology every day.” ENSUITE, NEXT Gagnon was replaced on stage by the front-running justice and ‘Canadian affairs’ minister.Johnson began by admitting the leadership campaign was uninspiring; then he proved it.“Some say it’s boring; well, we’ll see,” Johnson said.“It is boring,” called a woman from the stands.Ignoring the reply, Johnson then proceeded to say he loves the Eastern Townships “because I studied (medicine) here, because it’s beautiful country, and most of all, because I joined the Parti Québécois here 14 years ago.I was among a group in Orford riding, a dynamic, forward looking group,” he said, “and it was sovereignty, not independence we were talking about.” HOOTING TURNED AROUND At this point the small but noisy group supporting orthodoxe candidate Bertrand began hooting: “Indépendance, indépendance." they cried.i \ Luc Gagnon.Banana republic.“The people of Quebec are preoccupied with the economic crisis,” Johnson retorted, beginning to turn the crowd against the semi-organized hecklers.“They have unemployment on their minds, they have economic development on their minds.They may have a son or daughter who is unemployed and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.We can’t just do nothing about it and only make speeches.” “I want dreams for Quebec, not nightmares,” he said, allowing his partisans in the crowd to interrupt with applause.“It is by taking advantage of our resources that Quebec will become what we want it to be.” Johnson said the PQ has survived its intensive debate over the independence issue and the potentially divisive leadership contest.“In spite of a few noises — and I’ve heard them — our party is solidly together today," he said.SHOTS AT BOURASSA Then along came Jean Garon.As usual he spiced his speech with jokes, but the agriculture minister stuck to the high road, aiming most of his remarks across the party line at Liberal Leader Bourassa.Garon mocked a planned Bourassa trip to Switzerland.“He says he is going there to collect information about youth unemployment,” Garon shouted into the microphone, raising the volume of de-bata if,not the tone and warming up his supporters.“But the unemployment rate is 1 per cent there, and it is a country of old people.There is no youth unemployment in Switzerland.What can he learn?” Cst.Beaumont resigns from Brome Lake police KNOWLTON (JM) — Constable Mario Beaumont, one of three Town-of-Brome-Lake policemen facing criminal charges in connection with the alleged torture of David Allen Gauthier, handed his resignation to the Brome Lake council last week.Réjean Lehoux, alderman in charge of police, said the resignation had been accepted and Beau mont would receive six weeks severance pay.Beaumont and police chief Alyre Thireau were suspended without pay for an indefinite period by the town council for their alledged part in the beating and torture of Gauthier, now a British Columbia resident, on March 1, 1982.Lehoux confirmed that members of the town administration and certain elected officials, without having resorted to a vote, had made offers to the two men to resign, as well as to Constable Gilles Laporte.Laporte told The Record he had no intention of resigning, saying he had had nothing to do with the Gauthier case other than as an observer after the alleged facts.Laporte was involved in an incident with Constable Paul Roy on Oct.23,1982, when Sutton resident Brian Hoyt was abandonned on the Granby-Bromont highway after he had been forcibly expelled from a squad car following his refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test.Laporte was dismissed by the Robbery, cake heist top fair weekend town but then rehired following a decision of the labor court Thireau and Beaumont will be arraigned Sept.20 on charges of aggravated assault and illegal confinement.Former Constable Roy, who was dismissed in 1983 following a separate incident involving a juvenile, will be charged with aggravated assault.The town has indicated it is bound by its collective agreement to pay for Thireau and Beaumont's defence.Neither man was available for comment.Pauline Marois.Human turnaround.Garon said economics has always been his main concern.“Napoléon lost because he didn't choose the field of battle,” Garon said."1 have chosen my field —the economy.” He said that while the Liberals have been preaching economic development, the Péquistes have been practising it.“When we came to power in 1976,” he said, citing the example of his own agriculture portfolio, “farm exports from Quebec totalled $400 million a year.By 1981, they had risen to $1.2 billion a year.That’s triple, in only five years.” GLOBAL THINKING NEEDED Garon said Quebec industry must operate on the world stage to remain competitive and solvent.“Just over here in Lennoxville, for example, a group of people at Bishop’s University and a company from Lévis are working on a $280-milhon contract to re-computerize the government of Japan, of all places.” “Bombardier is another good example,” he said.“They have the expertise now to go into automobile-manufacturing, Toyota or not.” “Our industries have to go to the world scale like that,” Garon said."The textile industry will have to go global too, if it is to survive.Everything is global now.The time of the village mentality is finished.” Garon said “there is not a village in Quebec I haven't visited” as agriculture minister and added that he has worked hard for party unity in the PQ HOWLING IN THE AISLES Before the next speaker could take the stage, Garon’s supporters filled the theatre aisles.Although supporters of the other five candidates either lost their steam or followed the orders of organizers and sat down again after about 45 seconds of ‘floor demonstration’, Garon’s gang kept up the din for about 2'Æ minutes.Then it was the turn of in-again, out-again former Status of Women minister Francine Lalonde.Apparently following the advice of her handlers, Lalonde made her speech from beside the podium rather than behind it, heightening the impression that she is a vulnerable newcomer and therefore unsullied by the many past internal squabbles of the party.Lalonde refuses to join the PQ’s recent new-right’ movement.She urged that the party stick to its former social-democratic principles of full employment and active government intervention in the economy."The PQ is the only party that can recognize that the people of Quebec have an urgent need of economic and social policies that favor them," Lalonde said, adding that she has "been to the school of hard action,” and at 45 years of age “have experienced negotiations and represented the least well-off people of Quebec society." CONSERVATIVES BLAMED Lalonde blamed the new conservatives for factory closings “in Thetford Mines, in Shawinigan, in St-Jean, and many others.” She said the government too often puts unemployed workers on 20-week welfare work programs to make them eligible for renewed unemployment insurance benefits "The PQ has to become again the party of full employment.But full employment is not the goal of the government at all right now.” “The state has to be the main motor of the economy," Lalonde added.“The Caisse de dépôt, (the massive Quebec government employees' pension plan) has to be used as a tool of regional development.If we would just take 5 per cent of the money in the Caisse de dépôt and put it towards regional development, Quebec could be ridh," she said.“There are lots of ideas out there; they have only to be converted into enterprises of goods and services.” FRIENDLY HELLO’ Last in the podium draw was Employment and Revenue Security Minister Pauline Marois, said by many to be running second in support behind Johnson.Marois lightened up the atmosphere by “saying ‘hello’ to all of you because I want to convert you to my cause, and the 35 days remaining in the campaign is not long — about the length of an election.” Marois stuck to attacking the opposition Liberals.“We must offer the people a real alternative to Robert Bourassa,” she said.“We still have it; we still have debates, sometimes virile ones ; we’re still the party of ideas, something of which the Liberals have hardly any.” “Entirely in French, we have brought Quebec the development of its agriculture, its social policy, its housing, and many more areas,” Marois said.“And now, aren’t we ready to define the Quebec we want to become and go even further?” Striking the social-democrat chord, Marois backed some of her opponents’ ideas.“Yes, Mme.Lalonde and the other candidates are right, we must have full employment,” she said.“Yes, we have to have investments in the export sector.Yes, we have to have investments in high technology.But we have to have more than that.Some tools are missing.We have to mobilize the people around the new tools we must develop.” “Along with the economic turnaround must come a human turnaround.” Whereupon the rally ended ; everyone turned around and went home.AYER’S CLIFF — There must have been an errant breeze whispering mischief into some listening ears during fair festivities here over the weekend The first sign was a daring day- light robbery at the local caisse populaire at noon Friday, forcing it closed for the day.The closure caused a shortage of silver, mainly quarters, all over town and especially on the Stans- Ba ba, black sheep.Have you any stolen cake?tead County fair grounds, but people were willing to grin and bear this slight inconvenience.However more mischief was in the air.Friday during the night, some hungry prowlers managed to get into the horticulture building and make off with three prizewinning decorated cakes, topping off their loot with a dozen prize cinnamon rolls.There was only slight damage done to another fancy cake — indicating the thieves perhaps tasted it and didn’t care for the flavor, or found it too awkward to carry in the circumstances.More lively fun ocurred when Ben Cunnington decided his prize donkey should show his colors to a wider audience.Enlisting the cooperation of several people who thought a donkey ride would be fun, they made their merry way through stables and the beer tent several times much to the amusement of some late night revellers.Then it was prank time again.Sunday evening as exhibitors claimed their entries in the horticulture building, someone made off with a cactus collection of great sentimental value to its owner Mrs.François Demers.This collection apparently is worth quite a bit and if its not returned the Agriculture Society will have to reimburse the owner.An all points bulletin was sent out and organizers are hopeful the collection’s removal was just a mistake.As one woman said, tongue-in-cheek, “.it’s kind of a thorny problem but I’m sure it will work out okay in the end." For a complete report on the Ayer’s ClifT fair, see the business section of Tuesday's RECORD.Diver missing, presumed drowned KNOWLTON LANDING — A skin diver apparently drowned here Sunday when he failed to surface after some deep-water exploration.Missing is Yves St-Martin.32, of Granby.According to his diving partner, St-Martin lost consciousness during the first stage of decompression at the end of his dive and failed to surface.Short of compressed air, the companion was unable to help and had to watch, helpless, as the weight of his diving apparatus dragged St-Martin over 200 feet down to the bottom of Lake Memphremagog.The mishap occured about a kilometre from the Knowlton Landing wharf and 100 metres offshore.Patrolmen from the Cowansville Quebec Police detachment were called to the scene and they and some friends of the victim used a pleasure craft to search for the missing man, but to no avail.St-Martin was one of a group of divers who had picked the deepwater site to dive for historic artifacts.QPF divers will use specialized equipment to resume their search for the body today.Shermag strikers vote to accept terms ASCOT TOWNSHIP — Workers at the Shermag furniture plant here voted Sunday 61 per cent in favor of a return to work after a strike which began June 12.Sixty-five of 80 metalworkers union members eligible were present for the vote, which followed a report submitted by conciliator Paul Desharnais Thursday.Union treasurer Pierre Bergeron said the document was actually a new, three-year contract rather than just an examination of the ‘re-opened’ pay clauses from the old contract, which had not expired.Bergeron said one important improvement in the tentative deal is more choice of holiday times for the workers.On the salary side, Bergeron said there will be an immediate 50?raise for the workers, with another 15?in 30 days.Additional 30?raises will be granted in June 1986 and a year later.Bergeron added that a back-to-work protocol could be concluded as early as today but it would be up to management to determine the precise schedule of the workers’s return.QPF raid misses Boy-boy the Angel SHERBROOKE — All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't find ‘Boyboy’ Beaulieu again — at least on Saturday.A squad of more than 20 heavily armed Quebec Police force officers accompanied by members of Sherbrooke’s finest raided a well-known biker-crowd hangout on De-nault St.Saturday morning, but failed to come up with Georges Beaulieu, one of several members of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang wanted in connection with the March murders of six of their Laval colleagues at Beaulieu's home, the gang's clubhouse in Lennoxville.The police, acting on a tip.made no arrests at the raid on the nightclub Manoir 77.Traffic was delayed by the dozen or so police cars which raced to the scene following an anonymous phone call.Beaulieu, one of the better known local Hell’s, is wanted on a coroner’s warrant signed by Jean Falardeau, who is investigating the bikers’ deaths after the bodies of six Angels were found in the St.Lawrence River below Montreal in June.He was arrested, then released following an earlier police raid on the club's Lennoxville stronghold.è 4—The RECORD—Monday.August 26, 1985 —___togi mam The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Struggling to hold together The Parti Québécois leadership race has everything it would seem.It has all the right kinds ot candidates: a non-committal front-runner (Justice Minister Pierre-Marc Johnson), a wind-bag popular economist (Agriculture Minister Jean Garon, a renegade indépendantiste (Guy Bertrand), a no-nukes ecologist (Luc Gagnon), a woman with a chance (Manpower Minister Pauline Marois) and a woman without a chance (Francine Lalonde).The leadership race has big meetings, like the one in Sherbrooke yesterday.It has lots of press coverage, a little bit of controversy (ministers using public funds) and a touch of drama (Bernard Landry drops out).But there is one thing missing: people.And because there are no people involved in the race, it isn’t very interesting at all.Where once the leaders of the PQ wept with joy and frustration as their party struggled to bring a legitimate Quebec dream to reality, leaders-in-waiting now talk unemotionally about economic revival.Where Quebecers once grew up with the Parti Québécois, and cheered them on from the floors of hockey arenas and convention centres, party monkey-men with walkie-talkies now patrol the crowds telling supporters when to shout and when to shut-up.The PQ has become a mainstream political party, struggling to stay in the currents of power.They are more like a party running for office in Southern Ontario than one fighting for the emotional political territory of Quebec.It’s mostly because the people aren’t involved anymore.They weren’t given the chance to speak at yesterday’s meeting, and they won’t get it at the next.And the candidates, apart from trading a few insults, meant more as cues for their mindless supporters to start hitting the palm of one hand against the other in unison, don’t have to face each other in public debates.It is a party struggling to hold itself together.If it had the choice, it would probably rather do without Bertrand, who keeps bringing up independence when everyone else wants to talk economics and jobs.But Bertrand is the only candidate who reminds Quebecers why the party was created in the first place.If he wasn’t involved, digging up the graveyard of PQ conscience, the people of this province would be even further removed from the campaign.They would forget why most of them have voted PQ for the last 10 years.This leadership race is boring because to make it interesting would tear the PQ apart.If Quebecers could have their say, and if the candidates had to face each other in debates, the fine line that separates a political party that stands for something from one that is scared of what it once stood for would be exposed.Dissent, bitterness and meaning would be the result.People would weep in public once again, and the monkey-men would put away their walkie-talkies and limit themselves to folding and un-folding chairs.This isn’t going to happen, of course.The way things are going, the PQ’s epitaph is going to read 'I’d rather be at home in bed.’ PETER SCOWEN Canada won’t stick out neck for Star Wars WASHINGTON (CP) — The parliamentary committee report recommending no decision for the time being on Canadian participation in the U S.Star Wars anti-nuclear missile defence program is ringing a familiar bell in Washington.None of the U.S.allies invited four months ago to participate in the research for a space-based defence plan has officially, wholeheartedly and publicly jumped on what President Ronald Reagan had hoped would be a bandwagon for his strategic defence initiative.Instead, since the invitation was formally issued to Canada, West European allies, Japan, Australia and Israel in late March, there has been a wave of reluctance, some outright rejections and a lot of waffling and stalling.As a spokesman at the strategic defence initiative office in Washington put it Thursday, if any country has decided for sure to participate, it is not public information.“Nothing is settled, ” the spokesman said when asked for an update on foreign participation.“It’s still a very sensitive issue.We’re still in a negotiating stage.” Even Britain, headed by Reagan’s Juliet O’Neill IN WASHINGTON loyal pal Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, has qualified its potential participation.When British Defence Minister Michael Heseltine was in the U.S.capital a few weeks ago he said Britain wants a research partnership with the United States and is uninterested in being a mere European subcontractor to American projects.QUICK REJECTIONS Norway and Denmark quickly rejected the participation invitation.Belgium was reported by a U.S.defence official as ready to participate but that (vas denied by Belgian Defence Minister Freddy Vreven who said “some people take their dreams for reality.” France is trying to drum up support for Eureka, meant as a civilian-oriented alternative to Star Wars for scientists and companies who want a crack at the high-tcchnology research binge that the American program represents.Italy has said it needs more information from Washington.\\6 VERY senoos-fy-Hnink of as WVO against Wirt:.Ÿ T West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl said his government and Japan were on board Star Wars but then he later backed away to a more neutral stance, saying the plan provides “both risks and opportunities” for NATO, the Western military alliance.Bigger questions still loom above the heads of decision-makers in Canada and elsewhere, one being whether the West should accelerate the arms war in outer space and, if so, what impact this will have on the future balance of terror between the superpowers and their allies.West European reluctance appears to be largely based on a fear that the allies would lose some of the American military protection they now have if a Star Wars system were set up.There are worries about U.S.military funds being diverted to Star Wars from NATO obligations.SEEK DISTINCTION Foreign governments tempted to participate seek a distinction between research and deployment of some space wars weaponry system designed to protect against nuclear attack.That is, they want some assurances that if they participate in research they are not necessarily advocating ultimate use of such a system.Letters So far, the Mulroney government has said it is prudent for the United States to pursue Star Wars research but it has remained neutral on whether Canada will participate.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Thursday in Vancouver that if the parliamentary committee cannot decide, “I’ll make the decision for them.” Parts of the 17-member parliamentary committee’s report leaked in advance of its public release last Friday showed the majority of members — apparently all Conservatives — felt they were not able to obtain crucial information and this was a key reason for recommending no recommendation yet on participation.However, Arthur Kroeger, the public servant assigned by Ottawa to study the question for the federal government, had no such information gap problem, says one insider who believes there is enough detail available for decisions to be made.Still, the Canadian government does not seem likely to stick its neck out before anyone else.As for the 60-day deadline initially contained in the U.S.invitation to allies, a U.S.spokesman notes with great understatement: “That has passed.” Cherished memories Crime system not too effective TORONTO (CP) — Large rewards offered for infor mation leading to the arrest and conviction of criminals no longer work But police say quick-cash-for-tips programs such as Crime Stoppers, which operate in more than 20 Canadian cities, have a high success rate.Apparently, more and more people want to get into the act of bringing criminals to justice.However, they don’t want to be identified, they rarely want to testify and often they don’t want the reward money.About $50,000 in major crime rewards has been paid by Metropolitan Toronto Police since 1972, but that accounts for only about five per cent of the more than $1.1 million in rewards posted during those 13 years, said Staff-Superintendent Donald Banks.Case-breaking information from the public is rare, Banks said.Most payments are a fraction of the total reward and a re awarded for bits and pieces of information at the discretion of the Board of Police Commissioners.The reward system is “just another means to investigation — to bring to people’s attention a way of assisting the police,” Banks said.But, he admitted, the system’s track record has not been encouraging.Large rewards are “very, very rarely” posted for crimes in Victoria, B.C., partly because they do not do the job, said Superintendent Terry Toone, acting chief officer for the city’s police force.DOUBTS ITS VALUE “Offering a reward in the usual manner is not very effective in apprehending criminals," he said.“I don’t think it’s been encouraged that much.” Rewards normally are posted by police commissions on the recommendation of the investigating officers, who may have reached an impasse in the case or think that someone is holding back information, Toone said.One of the most recent large rewards was offered for information about eight-year-old Nicole Morin, who disappeared from her Toronto condominium building on July 30.Police posted a $50,000 reward after two weeks of intensive, fruitless search, matching the amount offered by the girl’s parents.But the money has produced only a battery of phone calls — some prank, some well meaning, but all inaccu rate.A $100,000 reward was offered for Charles Ng, 24, the former U.S.marine who was sought in connection with the deaths of five people found buried in California.He was arrested for shoplifting in Calgary.The Editor: Scotstown old home week and reunion of district schools It was indeed a great pleasure to attend this event which was held July 24-28, 1985.One can’t really compare it with the 1982 reunion as this was on a much larger scale and involved more that students, but it was SUPER.Families came from nearly every province and several of the states in the U.S.A.to renew friendships.The various functions — homecoming, strawberry social, Scottish concert, Banquet and Picnic were well organized and supported by attendance.(Hopefully there are no debts!) The displays in the cultural centre were excellent.How easily we all accept what is laid out for us at times such as this! The Committee comprised of Bing Maclver, Faye LeBrun, Lillian Coates, Donalda MacAskill, Madeline Irving, June Moller, Bob Nicholson and David Matheson, deserve all the thanks and praise one can give them as they worked tirelessly, and as one watched them do their part at the various “do’s” you knew they felt confident that all was going well.There were many who worked behind the scenes — the ones who taught the dancers, prepared the Bar-B-Q, the tent which shielded us from the rain at the Bar-B-Q, and those who opened their homes to the visitors, to name but a few, who are to be given special thanks.The church services on the Sunday will long be cherished memories.One can’t measure the good that comes from such gatherings.To the Record readers who were unable to attend I can only say “We missed you” — we know your thoughts were with us.MRS.AGNES MacLEOD CLARK Cornwall, Ont.Full benefit Editor: We continue to enjoy the Record and laugh at some of the people’s complaints about the ink.People should live away from home maybe to enjoy the full benefit of having the Record delivered to their homes.Continue the good work.Sincerely, MRS.WAYNE CRACK Alexandria, Ont.Wonderful newspaper The Record, Please find enclosed a cheque for one year’s subscription to that wonderful newspaper — The Record.MRS.GRAHAM GEORGE R.R.#1 Brome Was Miller or Davis to blame for Tory defeat?By Scott White TORONTO (CP) — There are those within the Ontario Progressive Conservative party who believe William Davis — and not Frank Miller — is to blame for the Tories’ fall from power, but Miller himself says those people are wrong.“The attempts to lay it on him (Davis) — which everyone wants me to do — I just don’t buy,” says Miller, who announced last week that he will be stepping down from his post as head of the party and leader of the opposition as soon as another leadership convention is held this November.While Miller has absolved his predecessor of any blame for the calamitous results of the May 2 provincial election — where the Tories lost 20 seats and eventually their 42-year hold on power — others believe two key decisions by Davis badly hurt the Tories.When Davis stepped down last October, the government’s mandate had almost expired.While Miller could have waited until March 1986 to call the next election, the tradition of having elections every four years meant a vote had to be held in either the spring or fall of 1985.A number of political analysts have said Miller did not have enough time — only about six weeks —to establish his own style of leadership before facing the electorate.But Miller said in an interview he opted for the earlier date because of the government’s commitment to extend full funding to Catholic high schools beginning this September — the second decision made by Davis that many feel sounded a death knell for the party.CONTENTIOUS ISSUE Although the Conservatives realized the funding decision would be a contentious issue, Miller said, the majority of his caucus believed it would be more damaging if the election was held off until fall.As for Davis waiting so long to announce his retirement, Miller said he “would have liked more time, but I don’t think.Mr.Davis left it too late.“He left a party that was higher in stats (public opinion polls suggested the Tories were favored by more than half of the voters at the time of Davis’ retirement) than any party had ever been in Ontario’s history.He owed the party nothing and he left us a legacy most of us should have been proud to get.’’ What happened to destroy that legacy, Millersaid, wasanumberof unexpected circumstances during the 37-day election campaign as well as some questionable strategy by the Tories.One of the first issues that hurt the Tories was Miller’s decision in the first week of the campaign not to participate in a televised debate with Liberal Leader David Peterson and Bob Rae of the New Democrats — a decision Miller says was right on the day it was made.“At that point, we had a high recognition level for me and a very low recognition level for the other two leaders.All the television debate would have done was give them the recognition level.” WERE OTHER EVENTS From then on, Miller said, a number of events the Tories never expec- ted to happen unfolded: the new pricing agreement between Ottawa and the Western provinces which led to speculation of higher gasoline prices in Ontario ; lapsing of a federal agreement with Japan to end auto import quotas; spill of deadly PCBs by a truck in northwestern Ontario.“You look at each of these issues as they came along, any one of them wasn’t critical,” Miller said.But collectively they “caused embarrassment and .shook the complacency of the public that saw us as a competent.good managing government.” The “final coup de grace” for the Tories came in the final week of the campaign when Toronto Anglican Archbishop Lewis Garnsworthy made his Hitler-Davis comparison over the Catholic funding decision.“On that day, there were those who said he (Garnsworthy) has done us the biggest favor around, that he’s going to turn people off and boy oh boy will we clean up.‘ ‘The truth is we didn’t.It just mobilized, legitimized all the emotional reactions that have been around a long time.” Beirut is the ‘real life’ for war correspondent WALLACE, N.S.(CP) - If you’ve ever been reprimanded for being five minutes late for work, consider the case of David Betts, whose colleagues sometimes missed punching the clock for five months at a time.Betts, the former chief of Reuters news agency operations in Beirut, has come to Nova Scotia for a holiday after two years in war-torn Lebanon and admits it’s hard to adjust to the peaceful life.“It’s a very funny feeling after living two years in Beirut.You have the feeling that the real life is there and you want to go back,” said the Amherst.N.S., native.“It seems that the life there, despite the shelling, car explosions and gun battles, is the real life.” The real life included replacing glass windows with plexiglass and hanging security curtains — nets weighted at the bottom to catch shrapnel and debris.“The curtains would not stop bullets, however, and we had lots of bullets come through the curtain.“If you were in front of a bullet it was just plain bad luck.” Other security measures included not travelling alone and not venturing into dangerous areas unless reporters knew exactly where they were going.The staff also worked only during the day.“They would go between office and home and at nightfall, just lock themselves behind steel doors hoping that the shelling would miss them,” Betts said.MISS FIVE MONTHS “The staff from East Beirut sometimes didn’t get to work for stretches that lasted for up to five months because it was just impossible for them to get to work.“The Green Line (separating East and West Beirut) would be closed.When the Green Line was open, we had them travel in a large limousine with the idea that there was safety in numbers.” Betts’ wife, Patricia, was amazed that women seemed to have no trouble moving around Beirut.“In Beirut women are looked upon as second-class citizens yet they are held in deep respect.Because of that I had no trouble moving about on my own,” she said.“In fact, if I was driving we had no problems travelling.But if David was travelling there would be all kinds of problems at checkpoints.” As to Lebanon's future, David Betts is pessimistic.“There has been too much blood spilled during the civil war, there are too many factions who are sure that their way is the right way and there is too much foreign influence in the country,” he said.“I fear that what is going on there today will go on and on in different forms for years to come.” The couple will now move to Norway, where David will continue working for Reuters, but they both agree “it takes awhile to get used to the peaceful life." I t The RECORD—Monday, August 26.1985—5 Farm and Business flaantl Science Council says Conservatives aren’t keeping promises OTTAWA (CP) — Science Council of Canada chairman Stuart Smith says Conservative government budget cuts are an indication the Tories won’t honor an election promise to double spending on research and development.About 40 council staff will lose their jobs, as of April 1, and the annual budget has been halved to $2.5 million in a move to cut government spending.In an interview with Standard Broadcast News aired this weekend, Smith, former leader of the Ontario Liberals, says the cuts are a sign the Tory commitment to increase R and D “is going to be broken.’’ While Smith calls the Conserva- tive cutting “a horrible error,” he adds that the previous Liberal government was also guilty of neglecting the council.“The previous government wasn’t serious and this government isn’t serious,” Smith said.“The simple fact is that the voters out there do not realize that science and technology will determine their economic future and the quality of life in this country.HI-TECH SAVIOUR “I don’t believe they understand that science and technology will be their saviour in the future.Therefore, there are no votes for the future.“The simple fact is that Canada is not going to compete in this world unless we can do things that are more advanced than the low-wage countries,” Smith added.“On the simple stuff, they’re going to kill us.The advanced stuff, we have a chance with.The advanced stuff depends on research and science and 1 don’t think the government understands that any more than their predecessors understood it."Someone has to be Paul Revere and announce that the new technology is coming.” If the council doesn’t have the means to do that, Smith says the private sector will eventually suffer.“There’s no way we can meet this very serious threat — this low-wage, highly educated, organized population, massive population of East Asia if we stick to the old business of mining copper and trying to hammer some steel together.“We’ve got to do the new things — the new materials, the biotechnology, the kinds of chemicals that cost $1,000 a gram, not $1,000 a tonne.“We can’t do that without using the most advanced science from the whole world.We’ll never do that if we spend all our money bailing out the old pulp mills, or trying to use some bailing wire to keep together a shipbuilding, industry that should have gone under.” Smith said he had no reason to believe the budget cuts were what he termed “a subtle way of getting at me’’ because of his Liberal background.Such a manoeuvre would be “totally immoral,” he said.OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE “All (the government has) to do is talk to me and we could reach some kind of reasonable settlement, but there isn’t the slightest sign of them wanting me out.” On Ontario politics.Smith said he was “a little envious" of the Liberals who, under his successor David Peterson, appear to be consolidating their newly won power in the province.However, he said he didn't re gret giving up the leadership and had had his fill of politics.Commenting on Peterson's success in ending four decades of Tory government in Ontario, Smith said he believed that if he had stayed on as Liberal leader, former Tory premier Bill Davis would have stayed on to fight another election instead of opening the way for Frank Miller to take over the Conservative leadership “Frankly, I believe if I stayed on.there’s a very good chance Mr.Davis would have stayed on.1 think one of the reasons he felt free to move was that he underrated Mr.Peterson, whereas he didn’t underrate me.” Drought forces sale of cattle, serious consequences to come later By Clyde Graham WINNIPEG (CP) — Many drought-stricken Prairie cattlemen will have to sell off some of their breeding stock this winter despite government aid programs — with serious consequences for the entire country, says the president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.“It's not just the beef industry that is going to suffer, it’s jobs,” Ron Oswald said last week.However, analysts say consumers will benefit, at least in the short run, from lower beef prices in the supermarket as cows flood the slaughterhouses.Last Wednesday, the federal government announced a $48-million program to help farmers buy feed to keep their cattle over the winter.That’s on top of provincial assistance plans."Well, it is certainly a step in the right direction,” Oswald said in a telephone interview from his home at Chesley, Ont.“But I don’t think it’s going to stop some producers from selling down their herds.” Some of the driest weather in memory has parched pastures in southern Saskatchewan and Alberta cattle country for two years running.SHORT OF HAY Shortages of hay have already forced some cattle producers to sell off cows that would normally be used to produce next spring’s crop of calves.Some of that breeding stock has taken years — even generations — to develop.A reduced calf crop next spring will also affect eastern farmers who buy western calves each spring and raise them to market weight.It is estimated that in the first six months of this year, Alberta far mers alone have sent 34.4 per cent more cows to slaughter than in the same period in 1984.Oswald said his association estimates that for every 12 breeding cows that are slaughtered, Canada will lose one job in the meat packing and related industries.By the end of this year, Oswald said, the drought could force farmers to sell off a total of 200,000 cows.That translates into a loss of about 17,000 jobs, said Oswald, who sold out his beef farm earlier this year, at least partly because of the bleak economic outlook.The large numbers of cows going to slaughter this summer have helped depress cattle prices below farmers’ costs of production.Oswald said beef farmers are currently losing about $100 to $200 on every animal they sell.Oswald said he wants federal and provincial governments to develop some kind of long-term drought fund, instead of having to scrape up money as they have in the past two years.CONSUMERS WILL GAIN Bill Gray, a livestock analyst with Royal Bank in Winnipeg, said the drought assistance will help hard-pressed farmers, but will not prevent the sale of breeding cows.In Saskatchewan, farmers will get a $60 a head in federal and pro- vincial aid to buy hay and feed grains, which will likely have to be trucked in from the north or Manitoba.Gray said consumers will benefit from low retail beef prices through 1985 and into 1986.However, he warned that shoppers will face higher prices again in two or three years when farmers begin rebuilding their decimated herds.Gray said once farmers begin to hold heifers — young cows — off the market for breeding, that will cut beef supplies and push up prices again.Video cassette rental outlets now starting to go bankrupt TORONTO (CP) —While video cassette rental outlets and sun-tanning salons are springing up across the country, bankruptcy trustees cringe at the thought of the eventual financial fallout.Those are only two examples of the many small but trendy businesses launched by people after the recession that are beginning to fail, the trustees say.“The fads are always the first to go,” said Marvin Zweig, a manager at Clarke Henning and Hahn Ltd , a Toronto-based bankruptcy trustee.By the time entrepreneurs break out of the lean period most businesses goes through at the beginning, interest in the trend has waned, leaving them with flat revenue, Zweig said.William McDermott, a partner at The Clarkson Co.Ltd., a Toronto trustee firm, said that when a new business concept is popular, many people jump on the bandwagon.‘ ‘ But when too many people get on.the wagon breaks,” he said.During the recession, many businessmen lost their jobs and decided to use their savings to go into business for themselves, Zweig said.They often invested in ventures offering products or services that were proving to be hot items with consumers.However, such sure-fire business opportunities can often contain high risks.For example, consumers would likely avoid sun lamps if some medical specialist stepped forward with evidence that prolonged exposure to them causes skin cancer.AREN’T FULL STORY Meanwhile, small business observers find it difficult to determine exactly how many and what kind of companies close their doors because bankruptcy figures compiled by the federal Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs do not tell the full story.The number of corporate insolvencies in Canada was 9,578 in 1984—down from 10,260 in 1983 and a high of 10,765 in 1982.Through June 30 this year, there had been 4,479 business bankruptcies, suggesting a further drop this year.Personal insolvencies — often related to business failures because personal assets are used as collateral to get financing — have also declined.There were 22,022 personal bankruptcies in 1984, down from 26,822 in 1983 and 30,643 in 1982.During the first six months of 1985, there were 10,025, again pointing to another decline this year.But critics say the figures are misleading.Geoffrey Hale, vice-president of the Canadian Organization of Small Business, said only one in five business failures show up in the official statistics.“Only very rarely are there enough (corporate) assets to make it worthwhile for creditors to go after the company,” said Hale.Instead, small companies voluntarily close shop, are absorbed by larger and more profitable companies, enter into mergers or fall prey to bank-triggered receiverships.Statistics compiled by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business show that in 1981, 93.000 new business opened while 56,000 were closed.At the peak of the recession in 1982, 87.000 new business started up and 84,000 closed.Last year, there were 96,000 startups and 64.000 closings.Post office not much faster than in 1635?By Michael West LONDON (AP) — Three hundred and fifty years ago.King Charles I opened up his private letter-delivery network to the public to raise extra cash, and Britain’s Royal Mail was born.This year, the Post Office, whose trucks, planes and other equipment still proudly carry the title Royal Mail, celebrates the anniversary with the boast that it’s the only profitable postal service in the world.Although its computer-age technology is a world leader, critics say deliveries often aren’t much faster than in 1635, when it took couriers on horses six days to deliver mail from London to Edinburgh, 627 kilometres away.“The Post Office that doesn’t deliver,” grumbled the Daily Mail in a recent editorial."It’s still a third-rate service,” moaned the Daily Express.The Post Office, which led the world in Victorian times with the invention of the postage stamp and other innovations, changed its status from a ci- vil service department to a state-owned corporation in 1969.Twelve years later, it spun off its telephone service as a separate corporation.DELIVERS TO EVERY HOME Today it says its workforce of 177,000 handles around 42 million letters and parcels each working day, and that it’s one of the few postal authorities to deliver mail to every home, however remote.In its publicity material, it adds: “Today, the British postal service is the world’s only profitable one.It has made a profit without subsidy in each of the past nine years.” Last year the Royal Mail made a pre-tax profit of $247 million Canadian.Canada Post lost about $350 million in 1984.The French post office the same year lost about $473 million, the West German Bundespost had a deficit of about $810 million and the U.S.Postal Service lost $324 million in fiscal 1984.Like postal services everywhere, much trouble came over job-saving new technology.Striking workers last April briefly shut down Europe’s lar- gest mail sorting office, at Mount Pleasant in London, in a row over new electronic sorting machines.The w'alkout ended with a promise from chairman Sir Ronald Dearing of no compulsory job losses over the new machines.First-class letters take a 23-cent stamp and are supposed to be delivered the next working day after collection.Second-class letters cost 17 cents and are supposed to be delivered on the third working day.The Post Office says 88.1 per cent of first-class mail reaches its destination by the next working day, but the watchdog Consumers' Association reported this year that a “staggering” 42 per cent of long-distance first-class mail fails to arrive the next working day.The Consumers’ Association also said one in eight people in this nation of 56 million is dissatisfied with the mail service, 75 per cent of the complainers say letters take too long and many of the rest say they were often delivered to the wrong address.There isacure for Kidney Disease Together we can find it The Kidney Foundation Of Canada Make it your victory too!

I almost went into shock, it was then that I decided nobody is safe and 1 stopped having sex.Three weeks ago another coworker in our office came down with AIDS.(He is gay.) Although I am straight I am now afraid to Ann Landers kiss a woman.In fact, I have pretty much stopped dating altogether because every woman I have explained my position to has told me I am off my rocker.Am I?— “Bernie” in Ohio Dear Bernie: I wouldn’t say you are off your rocker, but I strongly recommend counselling.Your fear of venereal disease has turned into a phobia that is crippling your relationships.Resonable caution should be exercised at all times, but your decision to refrain from kissing a woman for fear of getting AIDS borders on the hysterical.social notes Labranche — Bel lam

The RECORD—Monday, August 26, 1985—7 —_ mcm Longtime heavy smokers should have periodic tests for cancer ; OTTAWA (CP) — Longtime heavy smokers should make sure their doctors order periodic tests for early signs of lung cancer, a Toronto specialist said Wednesday.“Most family physicians are just too busy to screen for every type of cancer,” Dr.Robert J.Ginsberg said in an interview during the annual meeting of the Canadian Medical Association.“And I think it’s as much a responsibility of the patient to ask for that as it is for the doctor to suggest it." Ginsberg is not prepared to recommend batteries of expensive tests for every smoker in Canada, but he does favor using moderate- ly-priced tests for those smokers who are judged to be at high risk.Specifically, he recommends a sputum examination that need not be repeated if all is well and chest x-rays that are taken every six months.Those tests could cost $15 or $20 each — roughly the same as a carton of cigarettes — and they could mean the difference between life and death for people who take the time and trouble to have them done.Lung cancer claims some 13,000 lives a year in Canada, more than any other type of cancer.Perhaps 90 per cent of all victims die within five years of diagnosis.Ginsberg said many forms of lung cancer aren’t that difficult to treat successfully if they are detected in their earliest stages.However, the problem is that patients in those early stages usually don’t have any outward symptoms.“Once lung cancer becomes symptomatic, it’s usually fatal,” he explained.Recent studies have shown five-year survival rates in the neighborhood of 70 per cent for self-contained tumors that are found and removed when they are no bigger than three centimeters in diameter.“Once the tumor is a bit larger.the survival rate is lower." Ginsberg said studies sponsored by the U.S.National Cancer Institute support the use of sputum tests and x-rays for those at high risk of developing lung cancer.Regular smokers over the age of 45 or those who have puffed their way through at least 20 pack-years of cigarettes — the equivalent of one pack every day for 20 years — are obvious candidates for the tests.Other high-risk individuals include smokers who work in nickel, uranium and asbestos mines, and smokers in certain other industries where exposure to radiation or chemicals seems to magnify the cancer causing potential of smoke.Most experts believe the best way to eradicate lung cancer is to get people to stop smoking.Gin-berg said early detection is the next-best strategy.“For the individual, it’s worthwhile,” he said.“To recommend it as a program for the nation, where every smoker has to be screened for lung cancer — it may not be cost-effective.” Other work in the field of lung cancer is aimed at finding better forms of treatment and trying to relieve symptoms such as breathing problems in patients who are destined to die from the disease.Despite a number of research projects in Canada and the United States aimed at finding the best treatments for different types of lung cancer at different stages of development, progress to date has been modest.Surgery, sometimes in combination with chemotherapy and radiation.is the standard treatment for three of the four main types of lung cancer.The fourth type — known as .small-cell or oat-cell lung cancer — is usually treated by chemothe- -rapy and radiation.Small-cell lung cancer is also the type with the lowest survival rates.Dentists no longer focusing on kids’ cavities, but on diseases TORONTO (CP) — “Look, ma, no cavities!” That old toothpaste slogan from the ‘60s has become a familiar refrain among young Canadians over the last two decades and now dentists are starting to fill some cavities in their research in other areas.A decline in tooth decay due to fluoride in water, toothpaste and other advances in preventive dentistry have allowed researchers to turn their attention from the young to diseases that affect middle-aged and senior citizens such as gum disorders and cavities in the roots of the teeth.Dental decay is not inevitable in humans, says Dr.Ralph Burgess, head of preventive dentistry at the University of Toronto.Overindulgence in refined sugar is the culprit.Fluoridation offsets some of sugar’s ill effects, says Dennis Smith, a chemist and professor of biomaterials science at the university, and he foresees elimination of tooth decay and most dental disease within two generations — if everyone practises good dental hygiene.“A large proportion of the population has virtually no tooth decay,” says Burgess.“We see many young people coming to the clinic to have their teeth straightened (and they) have no decay at all.” Smith says one-third of Cana- Mary Beth Anger voted single-parent of the year WELLAND, Ont.(CP) — Mary Beth Anger has graduated with highest distinction from the school of hard knocks.The 42-year-old Welland woman, who has been chosen Single Parent of the Year by Parents Without Partners, an international non-profit association of 200,000 single parents, is a survivor.She has suffered many disasters.but she’s never lost the strength and spirit to rise above misfortune — and to help others.The mother of five — William, 23, Sandra, 22, Douglas, 19, Christopher, 16 and Jennifer, 14 — found the courage to leave an unhappy marriage.When the family home that she and her husband jointly owned was sold, she was forced to battle a landlord’s discrimination against single parents to get a three-bedroom apartment for her family.She has known the humiliation of the welfare system and the agony of twice seeing her beloved children sent to live with friends and foster parents.Physical pain hasn’t escaped her either.A bizarre accident in which she was run over by her own van caused injuries so serious she was in and out of hospital for three years.But Anger has never given up.“I believe in taking a negative and turning it into a positive,” Anger said in an interview with the Toronto Star.“Even if you open the wrong door to the new thing in your future, it’s only a detour route.You’ll get the next positive progressive path if you just keep opening the doors — keep trying.” Anger took her first step toward a better life when she left her husband of 12 years.She and her children were on welfare for about a year, but she found the system so demeaning that she took a job as a courier with a delivery firm.r One day while she was delivering a parcel, her truck jumped into reverse and began to roll down a driveway.“I chased it,” she said.“I got around the door, went to get in and slipped.The front wheel ran over my left foot and the door knocked me down.I cracked the back of my head on the curb, then the truck ran over my right leg.” Anger was off work, receiving workers’ compensation, for the next three years — during which she formed a tenants’ association in her apartment building, and went back to school to complete Grade 12.A triple-wedding in Orillia?ORILLIA, Ont.(CP) — As any mother of the bride knows, a wedding takes a lot of planning.Pat Geroux has looked after more details than most.For the last 10 months, she has co-ordinated a triple wedding, a rare and complicated event.The ceremony took place Saturday at The Stephen Leacock Home grounds.That’s where her daughter Deborah will wed Craig Watson and her son David will marry Lisa La-londe.The third couple is Lisa’s sister, Tammy, and Bryan Stane-land.“Both my kids were getting married a month apart and I joked about the fact that they should get married together and save me a whole lot of work,” said Pat.“Now we need three photographers and three wedding parties and more than 400 chairs for the Leacock home grounds.” Tammy joined the parade down the aisle when her mother Sharon Lalonde suggested the other two girls ask her whether she would like to join them for a triple wedding.Pat, living closest to everything, went ahead with arrangements at the request of the other parents.It meant endless telephone calls to the Stanelands in Toronto and the Lalondes in Midland, Ont., as each event was approved.Bishop's University \o< ^ dians over the age of 50 have dentures but most loss of teeth in future generations can be prevented.Of greatest concern to researchers are the number of people — about one in every three Ontarians, for example — who live in areas without fluoridated water or with limited access to dental care.Both factors lead Burgess to fear a two-level pattern of dental health, with a high incidence of decay among low-income people with the least ability to pay for private fluoride treatments at the dentist’s office Fluoride treatments, developed in the 1950s, were one of the earliest but most effective weapons against cavities.Now.an intense blue light is helping prevent decay in one part of the mouth where fluoride isn’t effective — the natural pits and fissures on the chewing surfaces of the teeth.Smith says the first molar that appears at about age six frequently becomes decayed in the fissures on the surface.Bacteria cannot be brushed out of this area but sealing teeth is one method of prevention.SETS COMPOUND He says the best sealant is an acrylic compound of the same family as Plexiglas but harder.An intense blue light is used in the one-step setting process that leaves the sealant free of air bubbles.“This light curing (hardening) is revolutionizing dentistry,” says Smith.“It’s used for fillings and coatings.Whereas four years ago, fewer than 20 per cent of dentists had a curing light, 80 per cent do now.” Unlike the crown of a tooth, the root is not protected by enamel, Burgess notes.As long as the gums cover the roots, they won’t decay, but with periodontal disease, the gums recede, leaving the root vulnerable to decay.The treatment for root decay is restorative dentistry — taking out the decay and putting in a composite filling.In another development, resear- chers at the University of Toronto have developed a way of eradicating for about a year the bacteria streptococcus mutans, which seems to be the main cause of tooth decay.They found that a man-made strain of the bacteria, contained in a dental varnish called ehlorzoin, eliminated the bacteria for a minimum of 51 weeks.Dr.James Sandham, one of the researchers, says he believes the treatment is capable of eliminating the bacteria within a few years.Sandham has asked the federal Health Protection Branch for permission to test ehlorzoin on humans.Some disabled persons are very physically active By Nelle Oosterom WINNIPEG (CP) — Wheelchair-bound Jonathan Marsh doesn’t hesitate for a moment when asked what sport he likes best.“Racketball!” said the energetic 14-year-old, shouting over the din as hundreds of scampering youngsters broke for lunch at the University of Manitoba’s physical education building.“I just played it once yesterday.I want to play it again.” Normally, Marsh would not have the chance to play racketball — or floor hockey or softball or golf, for that matter.Most people think paraplegics can’t do those things.Yet Marsh says he has a harder time negotiating sidewalk curbs than he has keeping up with his able-bodied counterparts in the university’s summer sports camp for youth.Admittedly, he doesn’t play racketball by the rules.He serves the ball to his partner, then ducks out of the way.Marsh also dives, using his hands to pull himself to the edge of the board and then falling into the water in a modified belly-flop.TRACK IS BEST His best sport is track.The hea- vily-muscled teenager completed the 2'/2-kilometre course at the Manitoba Marathon this year and came in third in the 60-metre at a national youth sport festival in Toronto earlier this month.Marsh is among 10 disabled children who were integrated into a university program that introduces youngsters to about 30 different activities.Disabled youngsters have never been turned away, but this summer was the first time the university recruited them.Program director Neil Winther said he was apprehensive about the project.“I had a concern about how the other kids were going to react,” said Winther, “But I’ve never heard any instructors say the kids were making off-color remarks.” Instructor Angie McBride said no one grumbles at the small adjustments that have to be made to accommodate the wheelchair youngsters.“If there’s an activity they can’t do, we do a parallel activity,” she said.BEACH BALL USED For example, when 15-year-old Angie Henry plays

extremely susceptible to fractures.When they play team sports, participants are told to stay out of a designated area around the child in the wheelchair.Ocassionally, able-bodied children in the program play sports in blindfolds, wheelchairs or by crawling across the floor so they can find out what it’s like to be disabled.They don’t seem to mind, said Wintner.He said the program gives able-bodied children an awareness of what wheelchair children can do, instead of what they can’t do.Integration also helps disabled children because it doesn’t make them feel as if they are exceptional and it compels them to try harder, Winther said.“Kids learn from each other.You learn by watching someone who does it a little better than you.” Each summer, a total of 5,000 children go

(CP) — As the numbers continue to swell for Hubie Brooks, there is a growing warmth inside the Montreal Expos shortstop.It’s not so much the fact he is on a pace that would give him 97 runs batted in, including three RBIs on Sunday in a 6-1 National League baseball triumph by Montreal over Los Angeles Dodgers.Brooks derives greater joy in fulfilling some lofty expectations.“What’s important to me is knowing the club is happy with what I've done,” said Brooks, who was the key player among the fopr obtained by the Expos from New .#*T Hubie Brooks.Lofty expectations.York Mets last winter for catcher Gary Carter “It’s important that I do what they expected me to do.” It’s safe to assume that Expos’ management likely didn't expect Brooks to drive in more runs than Carter, but as of today he has a 74-62 lead in that category.By knocking in runs with a first-inning sacrifice fly, a third inning infield single and a triple to the base of the centre-field fence in the seventh.Brooks surpassed his career-best of 73 RBIs set last season with the Mets.He has increased his RBIs in each of his five big-league seasons.LOOKS TO FUTURE “You can never really be satisfied with the present,” Brooks said.“It feels good to know that you’ve done better than last year, but it’s what you do now and in the future that’s important.“I’m not too impressed with my home run totals (10).I wish I had a few more.And I’m not happy we re six (7 1-2) games out.I wish we were a game out, or better still, in first place.” The third-place Expos gained no ground on the first-place St.Louis Cardinals, but they did end the eight-game winning streak of Los Angeles starter Bob Welch, 9-2.Brooks delivered the gamewinning RBI — his team-leading Kith — in the first inning.After Tim Raines had singled and stole second, and following a walk to Vance Law, advanced to third on Andre Dawson’s groundout, Brooks brought him in with a line drive to left.Raines again scored from third base in the third as Brooks produced an infield single.After starting pitcher Bill Gul-lickson doubled home Mike Fitzgerald, who had tripled, making it 3-0 in the fourth, the Expos broke the game open with a three-run seventh inning against reliever Carlos Diaz.Brooks was in the middle of the rally.Law’s one-out double and an RBI single by Dawson drove in one run before Brooks crashed a triple over the head of centre fielder Ken Landreaux.Terry Francona’s bloop single then enabled Brooks to score.GETS SUPPORT Gullickson, 12-9, who had only nine runs of support in eight of his losses, was able to cruise, given such generosity.He carried a shutout into the ninth before Greg Brock delivered a bases-loaded sacrifice fly.The Montreal righthander walked three and struck out three in completing his third game.“When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think we were even going to play,” said Gullickson, referring to the all-night rain, which was reduced to an occasional drizzle during the game.“That’s what Astroturf will do for you.” Another thing that was done to help Gullickson was a throw by Dawson, the right fielder, to nail R.J.Reynolds at third in the sixth inning.Reynolds had led off the inning with a single and Mariano Duncan followed with a single, making the out at third timely for the Expos.“I thought Dawson made the play of the game,” said Montreal manager Buck Rodgers.Los Angeles manager Tommy Lasorda was so incensed over the call by third-base umpire Dana De-Muth that he argued strenuously enough to be ejected.“All I told him was that I didn’t think he was in the proper position to make the call,” said Lasorda.“He said that he was, and I said he was full of bleep.” Mets 9 Padres 3 Although he’s yet to finish his second National League baseball season, it seems Dwight Gooden joins the ranks of one baseball immortal or another after each start.The 20-year-old right-hander became the youngest pitcher ever to win 20 games in a season with a six-inning stint Sunday as New York Mets defeated San Diego Padres 9-3.At 20 years, nine months and nine days, Gooden is about one month younger than Bob Feller was when he won his 20th game for Cleveland Indians in 1939.The youngest previous National Leaguer to win 20 games was Christy Mathewson at 21 years, one month and nine days in 1901.Last week, Gooden struck out 16 San Francisco Giants to join Herb Score as the only pitchers to strike out 200 or more in their first two seasons.Gooden, has won 14 straight decisions since last losing May 25 against Los Angeles.Gooden, 20-3, the league strikeout leader with 212 and earned-run average pacesetter at 1.78, be-nefitted from a 16-hit attack by the Mets, led by Darryl Strawberry, who knocked in four runs with a single, a two-run double and his 20th homer.“I couldn’t get in my rhythm today,” Gooden said after giving up three runs, one of them unearned, and five hits before leaving for a pinch hitter.“I was just fortunate they scored some runs for me.” After Gooden’s six innings, reliever Roger McDowell allowed only an infield single the last three innings for his 12th save.Cardinals 5 Braves 2 St.Louis stayed one game ahead of the Mets in the East by winning its fifth straight and handing Atlanta its sixth consecutive loss.Kurt Kepshire, 10-7, tossed a five-hitter over 7 2-3 innings and Andy Van Slyke homered for the Cardinals, while Terry Harper had two solo homers for the Braves.Phillies 14 Giants 5 Philadelphia collected 14 hits, including four homers, to rout San Francisco.The Phillies used two, four-run innings and got a strong relief performance from Dave Rucker, 2-1, who pitched five scoreless innings.George Bell’s home run heroics wasted as Blue Jays lose 5-3 CHICAGO (AP) — It was a day of rare feats Sunday at venerable Comiskey Park.Toronto left fielder George Bell became the first player in the stadium’s 75-year history to hit homers onto the roof in consecutive games, but the accomplishment was wasted as Chicago left-hander Floyd Bannister won his first game in 2'/2 months.Bannister, 6-11, pitched 5 1-3 innings, striking out eight, as Chicago broke a five-game losing streak with a 5-3 American League baseball win.The East Divisionleading Jays now lead New York Yankees by three games.“It was a big win for Bannister and a bigger win for the White Sox,” said Chicago manager Tony LaRussa.“When you have success, you get a little more confidence and then you have a greater chance of success.Bannister broke a streak of seven straight losses and six nodecisions.He hadn’t won since June 10.“We got beat,” said Toronto manager Bobby Cox.“I don't know what else to tell you.“We loaded the bases with nobody out in the second inning and we couldn’t even score once.That’s where we lost it.That was the turning point.” BLASTS HOMER Harold Baines blasted a three run homer to highlight a four-run first inning that gave Chicago all the runs it needed to break Toronto’s three-game winning streak.Toronto starter Jimmy Key, 10-6, gave up a lead-off single to Reid Nichols and walked Scott Fletcher before Baines unleashed his 12th home run of the year to left centre.Bannister gave up only Jesse Barfield’s second-inning double, Roger Maltbie holds on to win World Series AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The crowd cheered as Roger Maltbie walked up the 18th fairway of the Firestone Country Club course, a sure winner of the World Series of Golf.“That’s the first time I’ve ever faced that,” said Maltbie, who finished at 12-under-par 268, four shots ahead of defending champion Denis Watson “I’ve never walked down the 18th hole knowing that I could almost do anything to win .knowing that all I had to do was just put it on the green and not have a heart attack.” His four previous victories in a 10-year PGA Tour career were each by a single stroke But Sunday, safely in the 18th fairway and ahead by three shots, Maltbie was finally able to savor a champion’s welcome.Maltbie was spared all worries after Watson’s round disintegrated with a double-bogey on the par-4 14th hole that dropped him three shots off the pace.He finished at 8-under-par 272.Watson, who worked as Mal-tbie’s caddie during the 1977 British Open, took some credit for the victory.“All those things I told him in ’77 are finally starting to come around,” Watson cracked.Another shot back at 273 were Tom Kite and Calvin Peete, while Hal Sutton was alone at 274.Raymond Floyd, with a glittering 64 in the final round, closed at 275.EARNS $5,900 Jerry Anderson of Toronto, who qualified for the tournament because of his European Masters win, finished last in the field with a 75 for 300.However, he earned $5,900.Pat Bradley comes back to edge Amy Alcott DENVER (AP) — She had dabbled on the edge of contention all week, but when she began the final day six strokes off the lead, Pat Bradley’s goal was modest.“When I started the round, I thought I might get into the top five or maybe the top three," said Bradley.“Little did I know that four-under would get me into a playoff.“I didn’t expect Amy to back up.” But Amy Alcott, the leader heading into the final round, backed up immediately with a triple bogey on the first hole Sunday, Bradley eventually drew into a tie with Alcott, and then dropped a birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff to win the $300,000 Ladies Professional Golf Association National Pro-Am.Bradley, even-par after 54 holes, fired a closing four-under-par 68 for a 284 total.Her six-foot birdie putt at the par-5 15th hole gave her the victory.The triumph was worth $45,000 for Bradley, enjoying her most profitable and season ever.It was her third victory of the year and gave her $337,653.moving her past Alice Miller into second place on the LPGA money list.Ixiri Garbacz and Beth Daniel finished one shot behind at three-under 285.Daniel closed with a 69, including birdies on the last two holes, while Garbacz overcame a mid-round collapse for a 73.Barb Bunkowsky of Burlington, Ont., was the leading Canadian with a 291 total after a 73 Sunday to earn $4,106.Dawn Coe of Lake Co-wichan.B.C., who carded a 68 Saturday, soared to a 77 for 293 to win $2,782, while Lisa Young of Prince Rupert, B.C., fired a 5 for 296.Young earned $1,576.keeping alive a nine-game hitting streak, through the first five innings.He escaped the bases-loaded, none-out jam in the second when he struck out lorg and got Tony Fernandez to hit into a double play.Toronto knocked out Bannister in the sixth when Garcia and Lloyd Moseby opened with singles.Bell followed with his 26th homer of the season, a towering left-field shot that landed on the roof.He became the only visiting player besides Hall of Famer Jimmy Foxx, in 1936 and 1940, to hit two roof shots at Comiskey, and was the first player to hit roof shots on consecutive nights.Chicago’s final run came in the sixth, when pinch-hitter Greg Walker singled and scored on Ozzie Guillen’s single.Yankees 8 Mariners 5 Dan Pasqua drove in four runs with three hits, including a three-run homer, to lead New York Yankees to an 8-5 American League baseball victory Sunday against Seattle Mariners.The victory completed a three-game sweep and was the 10th triumph in the last 11 games for the Yankees.New York moved within three games of East Division leader Toronto, who lost to Chicago White Sox 5-3.Pasqua hit a three-run homer in the first inning off Mike More, 8-11.He added a single in the fourth and a run-producing double in the sixth.New York first baseman Don Mattingly hit a two-run homer in the seventh.Winner Ed Whitson, 8-7, breezed through the first six innings but got tagged in the seventh, when the Mariners scored their runs.Alvin Davis and Jim Presley each hit two-run homers before reliever Brian Fisher came on to pitch the final 2 2-3 innings for his ninth sa ve.Angels 7 Tigers 1 The Angels took advantage of five Detroit errors, including three by centre fielder Chet Lemon.The victory, coupled with Kansas City’s loss, moved the Angels 2V2 games ahead of the Royals in the West Division.California trailed 1-0 when Gary Pettis drew a leadoff walk from Walt Terrell, 12-7, in the sixth.Rob Wilfong then sacrificed and reached when first baseman Darrell Evans made an error.Bob Boone singled home Pettis and Wilfong scored when Lemon overran the ball.Dick Schofield scored later in the inning on an error by catcher Marty Castillo and a single by Rod Carew.The Angels added four runs in the eighth.Rangers 7 Royals 3 Pete O'Brien drove in four runs and Toby Harrah added three RBIs to back the five-hit pitching of Charlie Hough.O’Brien singled home the tie-breaking run in the sixth that gave the Rangers a 3-2 lead and then lined a bases-loaded triple in the seventh.Harrah had an RBI single, a sacrifice fly and a bases-loaded walk.Hough, 13-12, struck out five.He allowed home runs to George Brett and Lonnie Smith.Canada Games close, Ontario the big winner By Neil Davidson SAINT JOHN, N.B.(CP) - The fog rolled in and the athletes moved out on the weekend as the Canada Summer Games closed for another four years.Two weeks of competition featuring 3,400 athletes in 18 sports came to an end Saturday when Gov.Gen Jeanne Sauve, before a crowd of 1,200 spectators, said, “It is now with great pride that I declare the 1985 Jeux Canada Games officially closed.” The next Summer Games will be held in 1989 in Saskatoon.After one final night of revelry, bleary-eyed competitors from Victoria to Charlottetown departed Saint John on Sunday.Some left with medals, others cradled cardboard boxes containing live lobsters.Ontario athletes left with the most hardware — 56 gold medals, 37 silver and 24 bronze — after successfully defending their overall Games championship by winning more than one-quarter of the 411 medals awarded.Manitoba won the Centennial Cup as the most improved team since the last Games, and New Brunswick was given the inaugural Jack Pelech award for spor-tmanship, a trophy named after the chairman of the Canada Games.But it was the city of Saint John that reaped the greatest rewards, including a $9.2-million Olympic- size pool and a stadium on the campus of the University of New Brunswick.“We are left with a legacy of faci-lities that will enable New Brunswick athletes for the first time ever to train within their native province for national and international competition events,” Saint John Mayor Elsie Wayne said.The Games were a long time coming to Saint John.City officials first bid for them more than a decade ago and were forced to deal with a civic strike only days before the opening ceremonies.Games general manager George Fraser said organizers were delighted by the way the competition had run.“It’s beyond our expectation as far as the attendance is concerned,” Fraser said in an interview Sunday.“The (good) weather did it for us.” Fraser said the Games, which he estimated drew about 80,000 spectators, ran according to budget.“I’m sure we’ll be in the black,” Fraser said.The Games had a capital budget of $15 million and an operating budget of about $6 million, Fraser said.The federal, provincial and municipal governments each contributed $4.5 million, with the federal government chipping in an additional $4.8 million for operating expenses.A further $2.5 million was obtained from corporate and other sponsors.Hamilton three-putts to lose championship again By Jim Morris SASKATOON (CP) — Stu Hamilton could only stand and watch as the Canadian amateur golf championship slipped through his fingers for the fourth time.Hamilton three-putted on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff Saturday, then watched Brent Franklin sink a birdie to claim the title.The two golfers had finished the 72-hole competition at the Riverside Country Club tied five under par at 283.“When I missed my second putt I knew it was all over,” said Hamilton, of Brampton, Ont.“If I’m going to lose, I’d prefer to lose to a birdie instead of a par ora bogie.” This will be the fourth year Hamilton has finished second in the tournament and his third loss in a playoff.Franklin, a two-time Canadian junior champion from Calgary, admitted he was worried Hamilton might catch him on the tournament’s final holes.“I thought Stu was going to birdie one,” he said.Franklin made the tournament even closer than necessary when he missed a three-foot putt for par on the 18th hole to force the playoff.Until then, he had led Hamilton by one stroke.He forgot about the earlier mis-cue on the first playoff hole.Hamilton’s approach shot left him with a difficult 80-foot putt.He needed three putts to sink his ball, but Franklin putted once to secure his first Canadian amateur title.“I knew even before he three-putted I was going to make that putt," said Franklin."It feels great.Mom and dad are going to be real happy.” Michael Mealia of Thornhill, Ont., and Warren Sye of Weston, Ont., charged out of a tight field to finish third, four under at 284.Dan Claggett of Kelowna, B.C., three-time champion Doug Roxburgh of Vancouver and Gary Cowan of Kitchener, Ont., were tied at fifth, three under par at 285.Cowan, a two-time U.S.amateur champion, carded a 67 for the final round’s best score.Canadian soccer team one TEGUCIGALPA (CP) — Playing tough and fast in sweltering heat, Canada's national soccer team took a two-point lead in zone competition for the 1986 World Cup on Sunday with a 1-0 victory against host team Honduras.Forward George Pakos of Victoria provided the only goal with a 30-foot shot from the extreme right at the 60th minute of play, catching goalie Julio Cesar Arzu off guard.“I had a lot of spin on it and it kind of bounced over the goalie’s arms,” Pakos said as he jubilantly quaffed beer with his teammates in the locker room.Pakos was substituting for forward John Catliff of Vancouver, who was forced to leave the game with a sprained knee.The victory gave Canada, which has never qualified for World Cup finals, an encouraging three points in the North and Central American and Caribbean Zone playoff round.Costa Rica, with whom the Canadians tied 1-1 in Toronto on Aug.17, has two points.Honduras, which did qualify for the 1982 World Cup, painfully earned its single point to date in a 2-2 tie with Costa Rica on Aug.II.The Canadians kept their cool step closer to World Cup before a hostile crowd of 45,000 pro dominantly Honduran fans, relying mostly on endurance while waiting for a chance to score.Packing a tight defence while simultaneously exerting constant forward pressure European-style, Canada successfully neutralized Honduras’ attacking combination made up Yearwood, Maradiaga, Caballero.Figueroa and Betan-curth."We played calmly, although the crowd tried to intimidate us,” coach Tony Waiters said.Honduras has a good team."They proved it in the 1982 World Cup, but today we gave them battle and we won it.” Squads of police wearing bulle proof vests and armed with auti matic rifles patrolled the edges t keep fans off the playing field.h rom high in the bleacher! other fans constantly pelted th field with bottles, strings of expie ding firecrackers and plastic bag filled with liquid, and kept up a car-splitting din.^ Even though they spent a week i h lorida getting accustomed to th tropical climate, the Canudia players said the heat was a majo adverse factor in the game. Sports The RECORD—Monday.August 26.1985—9 #¦___tel tœcora Riders and Bombers gunning for each other^after big wins By The Canadian Press Saskatchewan quarterback Homer Jordan, who boasted that he had time “to stand back there and eat lunch’’ against Edmonton's pass rush, will be high on Winnipeg’s menu later this week when the clubs meet in Canadian Football League action.Sunday’s battle in Regina will feature two clubs that posted impressive victories during CFL weekend action.The Blue Bombers thrashed Calgary Stampeders 43-6 at Winnipeg on Sunday, while the Roughriders stunned the Eskimos 42-34 at Edmonton on Friday night.In other games, B.C.Lions posted a less-than-impressive 21-11 victory Saturday night at home against Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ottawa Rough Riders opened the week’s schedule with a surprising 18-8 road win last Thursday against Toronto Argonauts.The Lions lead the Western Divi- sion with a 6-1 record and 12 points, but the second-place Blue Bombers, 5-2, will be hoping for another Ottawa upset Friday night when the Rough Riders play host to B.C.Saskatchewan, meanwhile, can pull into a second-place tie with a victory against the Blue Bombers on Sunday.Edmonton fell to fourth place in the West with a 3-4 record, while the Stampeders are in last place with a 1-6 mark.Montreal Concordes had the weekend off but continue to lead the Eastern Division with a 5-2 log, two points ahead of the 4-3 Rough Riders.The Argonauts are 3-5 at their halfway point of the regular season, four points ahead of last- place Hamilton, 1-6.Blue Bombers 43 Stampeders 6 Calgary learned the hard way that you don’t lose three fumbles and have five passes intercepted if you want to beat the defending Grey Cup champions.“We had a lot of chances to put some points on the board, but we just didn't execute well,” said Calgary coach Bud Riley.“We didn't play as hard as I think we re capable of playing.” The Blue Bombers certainly played hard.Quarterbacks Tom Clements and John Hufnagel each tossed a pair of touchdowns, finding Joe Poplawski for two and Jeff Boyd and James Murphy for one apiece.Sean Kehoe collected the other Winnipeg TD on a seven-yard fumble recovery Placekicker Trevor Kennerd raised his league-leading scoring total to 86 points with five converts, two field goals and two singles.J T.Hay's two field goals produ ced Calgary’s points.Lions 21 ii(,vi-vat.s 11 Many more performances like this one and some valid questions about B.C.’s chances for their first Grey Cup title since 1964 will be raised."It’s a good thing we didn't play Saskatchewan or Winnipeg tonight,” said B.C.centre A1 Wilson.Running back Keyvan Jenkins almost single-handedly saved the Lions, rushing for 126 yards on 22 carries and one TD.Wide receiver Mervyn Fernandez aided the cause with an 11-yard TD catch, while kicker Lui Passaglia added nine points.Running back Poncho James scored Hamilton's only TD.JtECORD/PERRY BEATON Local skaters do well

BRAVO King TONGA VS JOS LEDUC Sailor WHITE Special Attraction Armand ROUGEAU VS Rick CHARLAND L'l1 Calgary’s Carolyn Waldo impresses at INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Olympic silver medallist Carolyn Waldo of Calgary established herself as the queen of synchronized swimming with three gold medals in the World Cup competition.And she’s ready to hold off all challengers through the 1988 Olympics."I have my own personal goals to fulfil,” said Waldo, after winning the gold in solo competition Sunday with a near-perfect routine at the Indiana University Natatorium.“I can feel the pressure.“It's harder to remain on top than it was getting there, but I’m ready.” Those personal goals include winning four gold medals in next year’s world championship — an achievement that wouldn’t surprise her coach.“She’s always willing to listen to criticism,” Debbie Muir said about the 20-year-old Waldo, formerly of Beaconsfield, Que.“She’s the kind of athlete that comes along once in a lifetime.“She has lots of talent and is willing to put in the work to utilize it.” Waldo, the only woman to score 100 points in compulsory figures, received five scores of 9.9 out of a possible 10 from a group of seven judges for her S'/i-minute solo per- formance.The other judges awarded a 9.7 and a 9.8, giving Waldo a combined score of 195.200.“I don't think I could have done it any better,” Waldo said.“It felt really good.” Sarah Josephson, who became the top United States performer after Olympic gold medallist Tracie Ruiz retired, was second at 191.667.Olympic bronze medallist Saeko Kimura of Japan edged France's Muriel Hermine to finish third by less than a point, 185.380 to 184.850.On Saturday, Waldo teamed with Michelle Cameron of Calgary to give Canada a narrow victory over twins Karen and Sarah Josephson swim meet in the duet competition.The two then helped Canada capture the team chamionship, while the U.S., placed second.High-scoring performances by Canada’s representatives in Fri day’s compulsory figure phase of the competition resulted in the Ca nadian sweep.Led by Waldo's high score of 96.400, Canada recorded four of the top five scores and had nine of the top 15.Other members of the Canadian team were Sylvie Frechette, Chantal La violette, twins Vicki and Penny Vilagos, all of Montreal, Karin Larsen of Vancouver and Traci Meades of Calgary.Financially-troubled Masters Games end quietly By Bill Anderson TORONTO (CP) — Dogged by financial problems but adored by its participants, the inaugural Masters Games ended quietly Sunday after a 19-day celebration of fitness and athletic competition for life.Founder and organizer Maureen O’Bryan declared the Games closed during a reception at the Metro Convention Centre.The Games began Aug.7, and the modest opening ceremony symbolized the goal of the G a mes : to promote sport for life on a mass parti cipation, individual basis without nationalism and elitism.Twenty-two sports were open to anyone who met the minimum age requirement, usually about 35, and no particular prowess was required.Former Olympians were eve- rywhere, but they started beside the humblest amateurs and often met their match against late-blooming fitness addicts.The Games also came off despite some harsh publicity in July when the Toronto Globe and Mail ran a lengthy, front-page story headlined Masters Mess — Games for mature athletes a circus of disorganization.Games organizers issued a quiet rebuttal a few days later.But by the time the Games were in midswing, O’Bryan was openly saying that federal and provincial money promised earlier would have to come immediately or the Games would not finish.Federal sports minister Otto Jelinek and his Ontario counterpart.Joha Eakin, bailed the Games out with a grant of $300,000, but a bitter Jelinek said he was “tired of being jerked around” by organizers and was making the move for the sake of the athletes and Canada’s reputation as a host.The competitors remained blissfully above the trouble, infusing what few spectators appeared with their zest for living — and perhaps inspiring others to aim for a medal in the next Masters Games, scheduled for 1989 in Denmark.Organizers also talked of a 1987 winter Games, but a site has not been chosen.The inaugural Games were graced by dozens of erstwhile cham-piontf and well-known emissaries — swimmer Dawn Fraser, miler John Landy, former governor-general Roland Michener — but the lesser lights at the Games sometimes shone brightest.There was Roy Jones, a 58-year-old cyclist from Bendigo, Australia, who lost part of his arm at age 23.Bendigo was forced to choose between a mechanical-type arm for everyday use, but no cycling, or outright amputation of the arm with insertion of an artificial limb that would allow cycling He chose the amputation and finished 10th in his class at the Games.And there was Sister Marion Ir vine, 55, of San Francisco, who won three medals in track events.The only woman in the world over 50 to run a marathon in under three hours — she’s done it 16 times Irvine seemed to capture the spirit of the Games when she said, “I can’t believe it when people shout ‘Go, grandma.’ “I’m ageless when I am running.” Sport shorts HINTERZARTEN, West Germany (CP) — Canadian Steve Collins won the first major ski jumping competition of the season Sunday with jumps of 88 and 90 metres on the 70-metre slope.Collins of Thunder Bay, Ont., earned 223.3 points to edge Miron Tepes of Yugoslavia with 219.3 points.Jari Puikannen took third place with 218.1 points.Ottawa’s Horst Bulau finished fifth and Matti Nykannen of Finland, last year’s World Cup champion, could do no better than sixth.KINGSTON.Ont.(CP) — Eric Graveline of Montreal topped a field of 42 sailors at the Canadian Division II boardsailing championships during the weekend.Graveline, 1984 Canadian Olympic team member, won five races, placed third in another and was able to sit out the final race.He finished the seven-race regatta with 5.7 points as the sailors were able to throw out their worst race.Second place — with one first-place finish, three seconds, two thirds and one fourth, went to Steve Jarrett of Mississauga, Ont., with 20.4 points.Third place was taken by Raines Coby of Toronto with 27.1 points.Richard Myerscough of Sydney, B.C., finished fourth with 42.7 points and fifth place went to Derek Wulff of Toronto with 50.4 points.The regatta was sailed Saturday and Sunday in winds ranging from 10 to 18 knots.National team coach Pat Healy said the championship was used to qualify the members of the 1986 national boardsailing team, with the first five finishers making the squad.PARK CITY, Utah (AP) - The golfing team of Miller Barber and Ben Crenshaw carded an eagle on the first hole of a

if that lost, the club finesse would still be left.However, the opening lead was the king of diamonds, and now an expert declarer does not have to settle for better than an 80 percent play — as the cards lie, he can make the contract 100 percent of the time.Because the defenders’ diamonds split 4-4, the declarer can make an unusual end play.Declarer won the ace of diamonds and trumped a diamond high, led a low heart to the eight, trumped another diamond high and led to dummy’s nine of hearts.Now the last diamond was ruffed, both opponents following.Declarer played a low club, intending to Insert the seven, but West played the eight.Dummy's ace won the trick, a heart was played to the South hand, and another club was led.West had to play the 10, which was covered by dummy’s Jack, and East won the queen.But now poor East had to play into the club A-7 or the spade A-Q.Curtains for the defense!

So now what.Do I get licked in the slats again?” And if I’m not too mad at him, it does seem pretty miserable of me to bawl him out just because he wants to be independent of his superiors once in awhile and likes to know what is going on in the world.But then we superiors don’t like some of our fellow humans to get too independent or too smart either.And while I’m getting mellow about the injustice of it all.Schultz awaits his sentence Even if he doesn’t get a kick in the slats, he knows all too well that I can lock him out in the cold, and he shivers a little at the thought Robert Frost once told us that “home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” But Robert Frost was thinking of prodical sons and not prodigal dogs.So I don’t have to take him in.But I do, and as he flakes out in front of my fireplace utterly exhausted, I wonder if his effort was worth it.Meaning that I wonder if a dog’s life gets any happier as he gets smarter, or if it works the opposite way Like it does in humans.P S.Received these suggestions for curing Schultz of his egg stealing habits “Cut his tail off short —right behind the ears!" “Next time you catch him at it put a little turpentine under his tail.That’ll learn him!” But a more sensible reply suggests that if it takes only a half dozen eggs per day to keep Schultz sleek and happy then, financially at least, he's doing me a favour.Because I couldn’t get more than a half a buck for that half dozen eggs if I were to sell them.And Purina or Canada Packers or Dr.Ballard couldn’t begin to feed him for that.“Besides," this bit of reasoning concludes, "why shouldn’t a farmer’s dog steal from him7 Everybody else does!” Orleans County Historical Society holds meeting By Ivy Hatch BROWNINGTON, VT.— All highways across the country and some from the Eastern Townships of Quebec on Sunday, August 18 led to Brownington Village nestled in Vermont’s scenic State to attend the 133rd annual meeting of the County Historical Society.It was a beautiful summer day and the Congregational Church Ladies Aid provided and served a luncheon of home cooked foods from long tables set on the lawns of the Old Stone House museum for a minimum charge.The museum was visited and its artifacts of early years in Vermont tastefully arranged in rooms of the four floors of what was originally built as a school dormitory in the 1830’s.In the rooms were members of the Society who acted as a host or hostess.On the lawns was a demonstration of steam.Howard Lang-don of Tomifobia, Que., had brought his 1910 Stanley Gentlemen’s Speedy Steam Roadster, and delighted many attending the day with rides; he also brought the Murray - Williams Water tube marine boiler manufactured in Montreal in 1901 for a privately owned boat of the Murrays on Lake Memphrema-gog.Wes Goodhue of Greensboro, Vt ., brought the boat he had built in 1981 and uses on Caspien Lake.It is a fantail steam launch with the hull copied from an original 1903 wooden boat found in Canada.It has a 5 h.p.engine, speed of 9 knots with a wood in box steam for two hours.Needless to say these items created a great deal of attention and cameras were much in evidence.From time to time each blew their steam whistle.Another demonstration on the lawn was Diane Moore spinning yarn from sheeps wool using a large old fashioned wheel and this too created much interest.At 1 p.m., the Congregational Church bell rang out and soon this early church, still holding Sunday worship services, was filled to capacity for the annual meeting of the Society.The President W.Dustin White spoke a warm welcome to this 133rd gathering of members and friends of the Society.Minutes of the secretary from the 1984 meeting and the financial statement were circulated and reports accepted.Recommendations of the Board were presented and approved.The dues will be raised from $3.00 an individual to $5.00; Family from $7.00 to $10.00 but the life will remain at $50.00.Someone asked why?Mr.White responded because of inflation and everything costing more.Another recommendation was to join the Vermont Museum and Galleries Association.Communications were read and resolutions presented.A gift of the book “The Shaping of Vermont" published by Bennington Museum, composed by Kevin Grafinino was presented to Darrell Hoyt for his book "Sketches of Orleans" which has been sold by the Orleans Historical Society.This book has through its sales added money to the Society who sponsored the project.A generous legacy of $10,000 has been gratefully received and will be used to continue the maintenance projects of the Society buildings.Just recently the Society have acquired the twilight house which is probably the first house in Brownington, and moved it onto their property but it will need much work before it can be used.Mr.White spoke courtesy remarks to the many supporters in various ways.He then called for the nominations committee report: Mr.White was re-elected President; Richard Evans, Vice-president; Harriet Liddell, secretary; Ruth Whitcomb, treasurer, and a representative from about every village and the Town of Newport in the County were named to the Board.Mr.White announced the Board will meet at 1:30 p.m.on September 19.Jacques Boisvert of Magog was the guest speaker and as Mr.White made the introduction he said “This man probably knows more about Lake Memphremagog than all of us put together” for Mr.Boisvert does make a study through diving of the Lake Memphremagog which he so dearly loves.Mr.Boisvert presented to the Society a document of 51 names of places around and on the lake of historical significance.He congratulated the Society on its years as a Historical group preserving the artifacts and history of the County and State.He gave recognition to the presence of Emily Nelson of Newport and her family who have helped and inspired him since he began diving in 1971.He then went on to speak about the lake and its history, of the Nicholas Austin family who were first settlers on the lakeshore in 1793 - 94, coming from New Hampshire.Moses Copp, another first settler who built the first ferry to cross the lake, then the Ho-Boy which was the second ferry.He mentioned the Mountain Maid, first built in 1850 and rebuilt twice afterwards, the Lady of the Lake, the Anthémis, and the building of the railroads that brought many city people to the area and these boats took them to the large hotels such as the Camper-down in Georgeville, Memphremagog Hotel in Newport, the Mountain House at Vale Perkins and many others along the lake and others through the years.The Lady of the Lake was brought from Scotland by sea and land and arrived in Magog where it was assembled and launched on Lake Mem- phremagog by Sir Hugh Allen who owned an estate "Bel-mere” on the lakeshore.He was the richest man of those days and owner of the Allen Steamship lines making ocean voyages.At that time there was no boat in North America that could match the Lady.In 1885 at Bay View Park people came by rail and boat for the presentation of the opera “The Pirates of Penzance” and the speaker noted this same opera was presented by a Montreal group in the Haskell Opera House in June.Friday, August 16, Mr.Boisvert said he had made his 2000th dive since 1971.He remarked that Lake Memphremagog is a beautiful lake and that he has found life to be wonderful as he dives and finds artifacts of earlier days in its depth.He noted that the Town of Magog will in 1988 celebrate its Centennial year and great things are being planned.“Lake Memphremagog is one of the richest waters for archeologists and indicates it is over 1000 years old and that there was civilization prior to the Indians.Mr; Boisvert told the occasional humorous story which brought forth many chuckles.In his remarks of appreciation to Mr.Boisvert, Mr.White said “you have given us much information and you have certainly amused us.” This brought the meeting to a close and a delightful day spent among the hospitable and friendly people of the Orleans County Historical Society.Sawyerville Alice Wilson 889-2932 The W.I.members who attended the
