Johnson was asked such pointed questions as "Are you ever going to be able to say no to the federal go- vernment?” and “Will you go get the powers we need to be independent'.’” He ignored the questions but fought back.‘‘The word Ottawa has never kept me from sleeping, comrades," he said sarcastically to a chorus of boos.“In the 1980 referendum, the majority of Quebecers said they wanted to maintain a link with Canada and we live in a democracy,” he said.“Where’s the drama in that?Let’s look forward and not back ” Later, in his speech to the over flow crowd of more than 2,000 members, he fried to soothe the rivalries."I want to work with Pauline (Marois) and Jean (Garon) and Francine (Lalonde) and even Guy (Bertrand)," he said.But many in the crowd kept yel ling at him to answer their questions.The independence issue was at the centre of the meeting, even though the party has officially mothballed it for the election campaign expected this fall.Quebec City lawyer Guy Bertrand, the only candidate who has made independence the central is sue of the leadership race, said he doesn't believe the party has really abandoned the idea.See STRAGGLHRS page 2 V i|: mÈm.' •, • t

of the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior affair, the External Relations ministry said today.A spokesman declined to say whether the message constituted an apology for the sinking of the ship in New Zealand by French secret agents.The spokesman said France’s ambassador to Wellington, Jac- JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Imprisoned black leader Nelson Mandela, who requires surgery for a swollen prostate and internal cysts, will be examined by doctors chosen by his family, one of his daughters said today.In scattered anti-apartheid disturbances Sunday and early today, police reported the deaths of three blacks.Rumors that Mandela might die in custody have touched off black rioting around South Africa, torn by 13 months of anti-apartheid unrest.Though jailed since 1964 on a conviction of plotting sabotage, he remains popular among many of South Africa’s 24 million blacks.Zenani Dlamini, 23, the elder of Mandela’s two daughters, said the examination of her father, will be conducted by family-appointed doctors from Baragwanath hospital, a medical centre for blacks in the Johannesburg township of Soweto.The move appeared to be a concession by the federal Prisons Department to the family’s request their own doctor check the 67-year-old black leader.Worries about Mandela’s health surfaced Sept.6 when the department reported he had been examined by a urologist.Five days later, his daughter told reporters after visiting her father in Cape Town's Pollsmoor prison the government-appointed urologist urged Mandela to undergo surgery.NEEDS SURGERY She did not specify what type of operation was needed, but said Mandela told her he suffered from ques Bourgoin, delivered the text of Fabius’s statement Sunday night admitting French guilt.The document was accompanied by an oral

Zealand's Justice Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer at the UN General Assembly in New York.a swollen prostate and had cysts on his liver and right kidney.A one-time policeman, boxer and lawyer, Mandela helped found the armed wing of the African National Congress, the main black guerrilla organization trying to end white-minority rule in South Africa.In the latest reports of black unrest, police said today a mob killed a black policeman in a township near Port Elizabeth also named Soweto after another black township outside Johannesburg.Nearby in Zwide, police said they shot and killed a black man who was throwing stones at a police car.The burned body of a 23-year-old black man was found in Port Elizabeth’s New Brighton township on Sunday, police said.Officials say about one-third of about 700 blacks killed last year during rioting against apartheid, South Africa’s system of racial segregation, have been slain by other blacks.The others were slain in clashes with police.The military announced Sunday it had withdrawn about 500 soldiers from Angola, ending a weeklong assault during which they disrupted the command structure and supply lines of a Namibian black rebel organization and killed 15 guerrillas.Maj.-Gen.George Meiring said the force also captured 49 members of the South-West African People's Organization rebel force that is fighting for the independence of Namibia, also known as South-West Africa, from South African rule French sources said Dumas intended to write to the family of Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira, who was killed in the attack July 10, and to Greenpeace chairman David McTag-gart.ADMIT RESPONSIBILITY Fabius admitted French secret agents were responsible for blowing up the protest ship after two months of bitter accusations and reports in the French news media the attack was the work of French agents.He said the agents should not be tried because they were acting on orders when they sank the Rainbow Warrior at Auckland harbor, New Zealand.He did not say who gave the orders.However, Prime Minister David Lange of New Zealand said it would be "absurd” not to try the agents.He accused France of committing a “sordid act of state-backed terrorism." Two French agents are in New Zealand jails awaiting trial on charges of killing a crew member of the Greenpeace ship in the explosion.They also face arson and conspiracy charges in a trial set for November.Three other agents, who are in France, also are wanted on international arrest warrants.“It was agents of the DGSE who sank the Rainbow Warrior,’’ said Fabius, referring to France’s chief espionage agency, the General Di- NEW YORK (AP) — Top finance officers from the five major industrial democracies pledged Sunday to fight protectionism and agreed to take steps to bring down the value of the U S.dollar.But despite reports that an attempt to revise currency trading procedures was the main reason for the gathering, U.S.Treasury-Secretary James Baker did not announce any such steps at a postmeeting news conference.The officials — from the United States, Japan.West Germany, Britain and France — said only that “exchange rates should play a role in adjusting external imba lances,” and pledged to co-operate on that score.Britain’s finance minister said intervention in currency markets might play a role in bringing down the value of the U S.rectorate for External Security.“They acted on orders.” LEADS FLOTILLA The Rainbow- Warrior had been scheduled to lead a flotilla protesting French nuclear testing in the South Pacific.The bombing led to a shakeup of French intelligence, the resignation and replacement of Defence Minister Charles Hcrnu and the firing of the head of the DGSE, Admiral Pierre Lacoste.Fabius, who had vowed to find and disclose the truth about the attack, did not say who had given the orders to the agents, nor did he identify the operatives who carried them out."The simple executors (of the mission) obviously must be exonerated because it would be unacceptable to expose military men who only obeyed orders and who have occasionally in the past accomplished very dangerous missions for our country,” Fabius said after hastily summoning reporters to his office.In Wellington, New Zealand, Lange attacked Fabius’s statement and said New Zealand expects an apology and compensation from France.He called on Paris to ferret out those responsible for ordering the bombing.“What has not been said is who in the political hierarchy authorized this act,” Lange said.“Nor has it been disclosed or acknowledged who provided the funding and the political authority.” currency.The dollar’s strength has been blamed for record U.S.trade deficits.A high dollar makes U.S.goods more expensive overseas while making imports cheaper.The increased flow of imports has led to demands for protection from imports in the United States, something which Reagan administration officials fear would lead to retaliation by other countries.FOREIGN SPURT NEEDED “We agreed that the United States’ current account deficit can be reduced by stronger growth abroad,” said Baker The steps announced Sunday included British and West German reaffirmation of commitments to reduce taxes, an effort by Japan to stimulate domestic demand and French steps to liberalize and modernize financial markets.MEXICO CITY (CP) - Sui vi vors of last week's two killer ear thquakes that left much of the city in ruins buried their dead and continued the search for survivors today, but hope of finding many more alive ebbed as the hours passed.Mayor Ramon Aguirre’s office said Sunday 1,952 people were known to have died in the capital alone.The official toll from the quakes that jolted an 803,000-square-kilometre area in central Mexico on Thursday and Friday was 2,000, but local news media said they had counted at least 3,500 bodies.Canadian diplomats said so far there are no reports of Canadian victims.The External Affairs Department has estimated there were between 25,000 and 35,000 Canadians in Mexico at the time of the quakes.Canadian consular officers, dispatched from Ottawa, have visited quake-affected areas outside Mexico City and other Canadian officers left Sunday for other areas in the country.U.S.Ambassador John Gavin estimated the death toll at between 10,000 and 20,000.In Washington, a State Department spokesman said four U .S.residents had been killed in the quakes, which measured 7.8 and 7.3 on the Richter scale.Nine were missing, he said.SEND CONDOLENCES World leaders including Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Pope John Paul sent condolences and offers of aid.U.S.Presidenl Ronald Reagan’s wife Nancy was due in Mexico later today in a gesture of sympathy with survivors of the quakes.Canada has promised $1 million in relief.Ambassador Raymond Chretien said Sunday the Canadian aid would be for long-term recovery efforts rather than cash.The Quebec government said Sunday a government aircraft with medical supplies and personnel was awaiting orders to fly to Mexico.On Friday, the provincial government offered $200,000 relief and on Sunday promised to match every dollar given by Quebecers through the Red Cross.ABBOTSFORD, B.C.(CP) —Da niel Haocker has returned from the dead.The 29-year-old trucker, an American citizen living in this Fraser Valley community, was believed killed in the Mexico City earthquake Thursday — but telephoned his wife Sunday afternoon to A senior Reagan administration official, who spoke in Washington on condition he not be identified, said the five countries had already agreed in principle to “bring the value of the dollar down and the value of the other currencies up ” The Reagan administration has agreed to intervene more often in foreign currency markets, that is, to buy and sell gold to maintain certain currency values, the off! cial said.All of the officials spoke out against protectionism Sunday — a day before U.S.President Ronald Reagan is to make a major speech on trade policy, including discussion of ways to promote exports and deal with unfair trade practices Canadian Finance Minister Mi chael Wilson was not invited to the meetine There were unconfirmed newspaper reports officials plan to dynamite hundreds of structures be lieved to contain decaying bodies that might cause an epidemic.Six thousand people were inju red in the jolts that devastated much of the capital's downtown area and destroyed homes and buildings throughout the metropo litan area of 17 million.At the pile of rubble that once had been the 14-storey Nuevo Leon apartment building, crowds waited in silence Sunday as rescuers brought out a pregnant woman buried alive for more than three days.“She lives! ” the shout went up as the weary, dust-shrouded woman was brought to an ambulance.IDENTIFY BODIES Relatives lined the city’s main baseball stadium, now serving as a huge open-air morgue, to under take the gruesome task of identi fying rowsof unclaimed bodies.Alfonso Nieto Garduno, in charge of the makeshift morgue, said at least 2,000 bodies had yet to be identified and more were being brought in all the time.The task of caring for (he injured was being hampered by a shortage of medical facilities.Two of the ci ty's main hospitals were destroyed by the earthquake.At Mexico City General Hospital, about 550 people were trapped in three wings which collapsed.Rescue supervisor Bernardo Reina denied reports 50 children had been brought out alive.“We found three or four last night but most of them are dead today,” he said.Many Mexicans found shelter at schools or other public buildings because their homes had been des troyed or so badly damaged they felt it too risky to return.Others slept in parks or on the streets.Mains in the southern part of the city were damaged by the quakes and some parts of the city were without water, but the mayor said 1,000 tank trucks were on the streets distributing water.Presidential spokesman Ricardo

Haocker, an independent trucker who was on an Allied Van Lines run to Mexico City, was in front of the Regis Hotel when the quake hit.“He said he had been pinned by several large pieces of the building,” said Mrs.Haocker, mother of two daughters aged three and four.“He came to and saw this woman and hollered for help.From the pain, he thought his legs were crushed and he was going to die, so he gave the woman his wallet and passed out.So our assumption was that he had died.” Mrs.Haocker said she was "so floored by the call” that she ne glected to record the name of the woman who phoned

Tim Naumetz OTTAWA (CP) — Secret results of a major public opinion poll done last month helped Liberal Leader John Turner decide to take a tough new line and harden his image as Opposition leader, sources say.The national poll was conducted in early August by Goldfarb Consultants of Toronto, longtime pollsters for the Liberal party.Its results are being closely guarded by Turner’s chief aides.Doug Richardson, Turner’s prin- cipal secretary and a key policy adviser, wouldn’t comment on the poll or even say whether it was taken.Hut other influential Liberals confirmed the survey in discussions with The Canadian Press about Turner’s new image.Prominent Liberal MPs and even some of Turner’s own staff haven't seen the poll data, although some aspects were mentioned by Senator Michael Kirby in a pep talk at a recent special meeting of the Liberal caucus.One Liberal source said the survey backed opinion previously held by some senior party strategists that Canadians want an aggressive opposition despite the overwhelming mandate voters gave the Conservatives in last year's federal election.Since his return to the Commons two weeks ago, Turner has displayed a tough, decisive side that even Liberals acknowledge was missing during the first year of Tory rule after the 1984 election.While still making occasional gaffes that marked his Commons performance last spring and winter, he has tenaciously attacked the government and at one point slammed Prime Minister Brian Mulroney personally, calling him a “shameless hypocrite’’ for his position on patronage.MPs say Turner is also much more at ease privately than he was before the summer.He is in command at caucus meetings and even joked about media references Stragglers use last meeting to shoot at Johnson Continued from page I “I could never belong to a party that wants us to hook into Ottawa,’’ he said.“And I know the party hasn’t accepted that, just a government.“Johnson and Marois and Garon will listen if you will just tell them that,” he told the crowd, to explosive cheers that came from all sides of the gymnasium at Laval University.Bertrand closed his speech with "Vive le Quebec libre” — the slogan that sparked a diplomatic incident when former French president Charlesde Gaulle shouted it from a Montreal balcony in 1968.Marois, who is fighting for second place with Agriculture Minister Jean Garon, also came back to the independence theme which she has been playing down in favor of talking about job creation.RESPECT CHOICE “We have to administer the province, respecting the choice of Quebecers, but one day we will have to be sovereign,” she said.Asked if she could work with Johnson, who is expected to win on the first ballot of the Sept.29 vote, Marois said yes.But she

mother tongue with a stiff upper lip.The guide, titled The Queen’s English, translates uppercrust diction phonetically in an attempt to break down “the language barrier between the classes,” says the publisher, Pelham Books Ltd.Readers of the book who eat at a London restaurant now will know how to shop at “Heads” (Harrods department store) and get "rind tine” (’round town) on “thunder grind” (the Underground) subway system.The book, written by Dorgan Ruston, describes a series of hypothetical field trips in which the reader hob-nobs with bluebloods.culminating with the ultimate ve-nue: a “gordon potty’’ at Buckingham Palace.Because a garden party might bring one face to face with the Queen, it’s useful to learn ahead of time how to say: “Thing kew fah ian-vating may.” The first verse of the national anthem, the book advises, is properly sung, “Gawd sieve ah grey shahs quin.” Translation: “God save our gracious Queen.” Preparing the reader for any eventuality, The Queen’s English notes that a useful phrase to know before visiting a church would be: “Ace hay, veekah, cord yar door ian egg-sauce-essem faw ahs?” Translation: “I say, vicar, could you do an exorcism for us?” FREDERICTON (CP) — A group of New Brunswick Tories disen chanted with the leadership of Pre mier Richard Hatfield has decided to ask for a leadership convention.Spokesman Jim Pickett of Perth-Andover, N.B., said the resolution will be introduced at the provincial party’s annual meeting in Saint John, Nov.8-10.The decision to ask for a convention was made Sunday at a meeting of 48 Tories representing 21 ridings.The group included three members of provincial legislature — Bev Harrison of Saint John Fun- North and Keith Dow of Saint John West.Eric Bungay of Moncton is chairman of the steering committee which will seek a leadership review.Other members are Pickett, Russell Cook of Bath, Bob Prosser of Oromocto, Grace Ritchie of Saint John, Don Craig of St.Stephen and Terry Delaney of Camp-bellton.“We have positive support from eight or nine other ridings,” said Pickett.“And we have grass roots support from 30 ridings from all dy, Eric Kipping of Saint John parts of New Brunswick.” Switzerland finally steps out of the Dark Ages ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuter) — Fourteen years after they were given the right to vote, Swiss women have won equal status in the household in a new marriage law passed by a referendum.Justice Minister Elisabeth Kopp, who became the first woman in the Swiss cabinet last year, welcomed the result of the referendum Sunday.She said those who opposed the new law would change their minds in a few years.About 55 per cent of those who voted supported the law, which Kopp said would come into effect in 1987 superceding 1907 rules making the husband the head of a family.The new law recognizes a wife as joint family head.She will be able to decide with her husband issues such as where they will live and which schools their children attend.She will be entitled to half of the family’s wealth instead of one-third in the event of a break-up The law had the support of all four political parties in the federal coalition government and

rarely mentions independence, Garon told the crowd “we have to keep talking about it and we must want to get it.” Garon makes no secret of his antipathy toward Johnson and many observers say he

memory when it comes time to appoint cabinet ministers,’ ’ Turner reportedly said in a cutting remark inspired by previously reported suggestions from two Liberal MPs that he had one year to prove himself and increase voter support for the party.“He showed he is prepared to play hardball,” was the only thing Liberal MP Sheila Copps would say in a comment on Turner’s performance at the same meeting.Some key Liberals say Turner’s transformation is primarily the result of a personal decision he made while resting in August at a family cottage in northwestern Ontario.“It was not principally the polls,” said one Liberal senator, referring to a round of polls conducted during the summer, including publicly released Gallup surveys and the party’s private survey.Turner also received two hardhitting memos that critically reviewed his role as opposition leader so far.And, in one observer’s view, the soul-searching at his Lake of the Woods cottage made him realize he had to come to grips with him- self, set a personal agenda and show he is a leader by taking control of the restive elements in the party.Others attribute the change in style partly to two top aides Turner took on this summer — Richardson, a Saskatoon lawyer who ran in Saskatchewan unsuccessfully in the last federal election and who once worked for former finance minister Marc Lalonde; and former Quebec journalist Michele Tremblay, who has become Turner's Quebec adviser.“Both people are top of the line,” said one MP.“Those are the two that have gotten through to Turner.” However, one source suggested the Goldfarb poll clearly showed that in Quebec at least voters were more willing to support a leader who appeared stronger than Turner did during his first year in opposition.The poll results were partly the basis for Turner’s recent defence of the Liberal rat pack — a group of MPs known last winter and spring for their aggressive style in the Commons.The survey also isolated individual cabinet ministers and asked Canadians for their views of the performances of key members of Mulroney’s government.News-in-brief Jobs more important than deficit UN to celebrate 40 years End of line nearing for Hatfield travelling show MONTREAL (CP) — Two Canadians in three believe that reducing unemployment should have government priority over balancing the federal budget, says a Gallup poll released today.“What should be the priority of the government in Ottawa, balance the budget or reduce unemployment?” asked the poll.Sixty-six per cent of the 1.044 respondents said reduce unemployment, while 29 per cent said balance the budget.Bourassa talks hydro in Ungava MATAGAMI, Que.(CP) — Quebec Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa began an unofficial election campaign Sunday in this town just south of James Bay, where his former government invested heavily in hydro-electric installations.Addressing about 250 people in the riding of Ungava, which includes the Quebec side of James Bay, Bourassa hammered home his belief that the Quebec economy needs another big hydro-electric development on rivers running into the bay, the southern part of Hudson Bay.Nine die in nursing home LONDON, Ont.(CP) — Two more elderly residents of the Extendicare London nursing home died on the weekend, bringing to nine the number of deaths traced to a diarrhea-causing bacteria.Another 15 residents of the home

ago.O’Dowd forgiven for error TORONTO (CP) — Two Toronto newspapers are battling to bring notorious anthem killer Mary O’Dowd to town to sing before a Blue Jay baseball game.As the Toronto Star and

rehabilitating convicted criminals by providing opportunities for an almost endless series of appeals, the Chief Justice of the U.S.Supreme Court said Saturday.Defendants facing serious criminal charges often appear before the Supreme Court on appeal 12 or 13 years after the crime was committed, Chief Justice Warren Burger said in a news conference after a tour of Warkworth Institution, a federal medium-security penitentiary.Chemicals found in water ST.CATHARINES, Ont.(CP) — A federal-provincial report says 37 organic chemicals were found in treated drinking water drawn from the polluted Niagara River for residents of three communities from mid-1981 to the end of 1982.The report, completed last April but not yet officially released, says guidelines still do not exist for assessing the potential health effects of 26 of the chemicals found in the water supplies of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Niagara Falls and Fort Erie during the study period.NEW YORK(AP) — Security forces prepared what one agent called his agency’s largest protective undertaking as international leaders began arriving today to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the United Nations.At least 90 heads of

— Canadian officials have completed their assessment of Mexico’s needs in the wake of last week’s devastating earthquake that killed more than 1,600 people in Mexico City alone.Canadian Ambasssaor Raymond Chretien said in an interview Sunday that Ottawa would announce today the first phase of the Canadian aid effort.He suggested that most of Canada’s aid would be for long-term recovery efforts, “although I’m confident we can still make a contribution to the rescue efforts.” Boy’s death to be investigated TEL AVIV (Reuter) — The Israeli army said Monday it was investigating the death of a five-year-old Arab boy shot by soldiers at a military roadblock in the occupied Gaza strip last week.The boy, who died Sunday, was shot Friday while travelling in a car driven by his father.State radio said soldiers fired warning shots when the car refused to stop and then aimed at the vehicle.The boy was the second Gaza resident to die last week in shooting incidents at army checkpoints.Danes rock for famine relief COPENHAGEN (Reuter) — A Danish rock concert held during the weekend has raised more than $700,000 U.S.for famine in Africa, a Red Cross official said Monday.The nine-hour

Moslem and Christian leaders for failing to solve Lebanon’s political and economic crisis.Iran, Iraq exchange threats TEHRAN (AP) — Iran marked the fifth anniversary of its war with Iraq on Sunday by renewing threats to block all oil exports from the Persian Gulf, while Iraq said it would destroy Iran’s Kharg Island oil terminal unless Iran agrees to peace.The Iranian threat was made by President Ali Khamenei during a speech at the opening of week-long ceremonies commemorating the start of the war on Sept.22, 1980.Khamenei, head of Iran's Supreme Defence Council, also threatened “destructive blows against economic centres deep inside Iraq” if attacks against Iranian oil facilities continue.Korean exchange successful Afghanistan strengthens borders SEOUL, South Korea (Reuter) — The first

explosives By Bobby Fisher HIGHWATER — There is a lot of expensive computer equipment.There are plenty of mortar shells.And all the windows and doors aren’t locked.But the abandoned Space Research Development compound near Highwater does not have enough explosive material on it to ' blow Highwater into Lake Mem-phramagog," as one person said last week.The complex, formerly owned by ballistics expert Dr.Gerald Bull and then enigmatic Middle Eastern businessman Saad Gabr, was the focus of some controversy late A huge satellite antenna still stands at the space research centre in Highwater.last week after reports that Newport-area youths had found a cache of highly-explosive material in an abandoned warehouse there.The youths, all in their late-teens and early 20s, had recently explored the grounds and a month ago stumbled onto a large abandoned forge where Bull had formerly produced canons.A door to the building was open and the young men went inside.ROCKET FUEL There they found what they believed to be around 150 45-gallon containers labelled ‘rocket propellant’."We shifted one of the barrels and it seemed as if it was full,” said one."We didn't check any of the others because we thought the rest were full.” They also found what they thought was white phosphorous, a highly flammable susbtance, and numerous ‘live’ mortar shells.In another building, also unlocked, the youths found what they believed to be ‘‘several million dollars worth of computer equipment.” News of the explosive material leaked out last week in a Newport newspaper story and a Canadian television newscast.The youths also said they had contacted Vermont government authorities, who were “looking into the matter.” A Record photographer who went to the complex Friday afternoon

as president of the Association of English-Speaking Townshippers Saturday with a positive vote from the membership at the sixth annual general meeting.The meeting took place during Townshippers Day — the association’s annual festival of anglophone culture and good-times.Although the retired Beebe businesswoman says her style will vary little from that of her predecessor Marjorie Goodfellow, Goodsell said there will be more emphasis than ever on economic issues for the English-speaking townshipper in the future.In particular, programs will be continued and expanded to encourage young people to go into business for themselves.“Work is underway to inform young people that creating their own business is an alternative to being an employee,” she said.Speakers from the business world have been going to the schools to tell young people about their work, and such initiatives will continue, she said.“What I would like to see happen is that we make a contact between business and students,” she continued.“Business is very ready to be of service in giving information to the young.” MEMBERSHIP A PRIORITY Another of her priorities is the association’s membership.“While the existing 8,000 members speak well for the support and confidence placed in our work, there are thousands more who have not made their support formal by becoming members.” she said.Efforts will continue during her term, she said, to improve information about government services to the elderly in the region, since it is they who are least like- Highland dancers flung their stuff at Townshippers Day ’85.ly to be bilingual Cultural activities will also maintain a high profile, she said.“Heritage and culture are never overdone, especially in a minority situation,” she said.Goodsell takes over from Marjorie Godfellow, who served as president for the past three years.About 150 people attended the meeting, held at the Sherbrooke Elementary School, including representatives from Alliance Quebec.the Voice of English Quebec (a Quebec city counterpart to the Townshippers), and the ministry of cultural communities, as well as Sherbrooke MP Jean Charest and Brome-Missisquoi MNA Pierre Paradis.Former townshippers from as far away as Manitoba were also on hand.Attendance at the day-long Townshippers Day at Howard Park in Sherbrooke more than doubled from last year's 1500.The weather co-operated, making it easier for the many entertainers who performed outdoors in the park throughout the day.and for the kiosk attendants.Along with an anti-aircraft gun '¦'i V lÉSSS- > V!~~ .‘-sty a ding was through an unlocked sli ding glass door at the back.Inside, several boxes of computer equipment lay in different rooms in va rious stages of unpacking.A machine shop and processing camera room also had equipment still in tact.All doors to the forge were locked on Sunday but entrance was gained by lifting a piece of plywood covering a cement bunker’ type installation at the side of the building and walking underneath the wall.The rocket propellent barrels were found stacked in a corner inside, but upon inspection it was discovered that they were empty, as were the boxes containing the alleged white phosphorous.However, there was a howitzer canon covered with a tarpaulin, and unassembled parts for heavy artilery weapons.The complex has been unused for the past two years and the buildings are beginning to deteriorate badly but if there are explosive materials hidden in them, they remain well hidden.Abolition of footwear quotas will kill industry, Sherbrooke shoemaker says By William Harris SHERBROOKE —The proposed abolition of import quotas on footwear will kill the Canadian shoe industry— that’s what James Bowey, president of Sherbrooke’s Santana shoe factory says."The retailers are all for it because they 'll be able to make a bigger percentage of profit, but the industry in Canada can’t compete with countries such as Korea, Tai wan and Brazil,” Bowey said in a press conference Friday.“Labor costs are as low as 50 cents an hour in those places, and there are no work-day or child labor laws either.” Bowey presented Sherbrooke MP Jean Charest with a petition signed by over 250 Santana employees Friday, requesting a five-year extension of the quotas which have been in effect, in one form or another, for about eight years.In return, Santana is promising to use the time to make new investments, investigate new technologies and increase productivity.NO CONFLICT Charest said he would fight hard for some type of shoe quota system against cheap-labor countries, but insisted that this commitment does not conflict with the Mulroney government’s pursuit of a more liberal trade agreement with the United States.“A type of phase-in’ period like this will be needed for some of our industries,” said Charest.“That way there will be no excuses left for the companies who can’t compete with or adapt to the U S.market.” Charest added, however, that strict enforcement of the proposed quotas would be vital, since he feels the quotas that have been in effect since about 1977 have only been there in writing, and not in actual practice.DECISION SOON The Conservative government will be deciding on the shoe quota issue towards the end of this month or the beginning of October.Bowey has no idea which way the final ruling will go.“If I had a positive gut feeling we’d be spending money here already in preparation for competition with the U S.shoe companies down the road,” he said.“With protection against the cheap-labor countries I feel we can compete James Bowey.A disaster.with anyone.But as it is right now, all I know is that we’ll have a disaster on our hands if things don’t go our way.” Brome Lake cop hearing date set SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — Brome Lake Police Chief Alyre Thireau and former Consts.Mario Beaumont and Paul Roy appeared at arraignment before Judge Claude Leveillé in Sessions Court here Friday.Thireau and Beaumont entered no pleas on charges of aggravated assault and illegal confinement of David Allen Gauthier in Knowlton on March 1, 1982.Their lawyers, Roland Picard and Jacques Du puis, elected jury trial.Roy entered no plea to a charge of aggravated assault when lawyer Daniel Gerard chose jury trial.Crown attorney Paul Crepeault, who was acting for Michel Ayotte, said all parties agreed to continue the preliminary hearing, for the form, to October 29, when a firm date for the hearing will be set.Provincial Court Judge Claude Pinard and Commissioner Normand St.Georges, who heard three day’s testimony in late May, handed down the Quebec Police Commissions report August 8 in which they recommended Thireau and Beaumont be dismissed by the town and urged the Minister of Justice to lay criminal charges against them and Roy.Roy was dismissed in 1983 for an incident involving a juvenile.Thireau and Roy were later suspended indefinitely without pay by the Brome Lake Council.Beaumont later tendered his resignation which was accepted by the council.Thireau followed suit but the town elders held that matter in abeyance until a meeting scheduled for September 30.The Police Commission’s conclusions termed Gauthier’s almost 18 hours of questioning “a torture session”.In a telephone interview Friday night Gauthier mentioned things seemed to be dragged out.He said he had not yet been contacted by the QPF and added he would probably be out hunting when the preliminary date is set.Gauthier resides in Dawson Creek, B.C.2 dead in weekend traffic accidents in E.T.THETFORD MINES — Two people were killed in separate accidents that occured one hour apart Sunday on Eastern Townships roads.Mario Fortier, 22, was killed instantly when he missed a curve on Route 265 in St-Adrien-dTrlande at 2:40 in the morning and was ejected from his car as it rolled through a ditch.Fortier was from St-Ferdinand.Less than an hour later in St-Théodore-d’Acton, one person was killed and another seriously injured when the car they were in went off the road on Route 139.Dead is Manon Morin, 20.of Acton Vale.Her companion in the car.Christian Lachaine, 21, was taken to hospital in Drummond- ville.Police say the car rolled several times.In St-Marjorique Saturday, twin sisters Carole and Lise Plante, 19, were seriously injured when their Trans-Am was crushed by a truck as they waited at an intersection to make a left turn.LOADED WITH SAND Police say the truck loaded with sand hit the twins’ car and carried it 100 feet before ending in a ditch.The front wheels of the truck were resting over the front seats of the destroyed car.It took two hours to free the twins.The driver of the truck was unhurt.Meanwhile in Stanstead Saturday, the ninth accident of the year occured at the intersection of Routes 55 and 143, bringing the average to one a month for 1985 Marie-Anne Gagné was injured as she crossed Route 55.As in most of the accidents that have occured there, police say the woman did not come to a full stop before making her way across the divided highway.Stanstead’s town council has made several appeals to the provincial government to build a tunnel or a bridge at the intersection, but no one seems to have been listening so far.For the moment the council is willing to settle for an obligatory stop for drivers on Route 143 before they cross Route 55, along with reduced speed limits along 55 at the intersection.» i 4—The RECORD—Monday, September 23, 1985 Editorial #1___faei KBcoru The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Vichy II The truth is out — France has claimed responsibility for the explosion that sank the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior and killed a Portuguese photographer as the ship lay in port in Auckland Harbor, New Zealand.What a shameful thing to have to admit to.France is supposed to be one of the stable countries in Europe — one of NATO’s allies and a responsible nation in a world of irresponsible semi-nations.Instead it has capitulated to terrorism and used methods that used to be reserved for war zones and dictatorships.The story is simple.France was fed up with Greenpeace protests against its nuclear tests in the South Pacific and so ordered its secret service to blow up the Rainbow Warrior.One man was murdered in the process.The bombing was followed by the revelation that the two people held in connection with the incident were French secret service agents.The government of France then proceeded to deny any involvement.In the end, pressure from the media and public opinion exposed the truth.Defence Minister Charles Ilernu resigned and the head of the secret service was fired.There are still a lot of questions that remain unanswered.No one is saying who in the French heirarchy actually gave the orders to blow up the ship.Nor do we know why the French take their nuclear testing so seriously as to murder people to prevent protest.Another important question — how many other organizations opposing the French government have been the victims of Elysée terrorism?All France can do now is ‘we’re sorry’.It doesn't matter, though, because New Zealand is a democratic country and will accept a diplomatic apology from France.Greenpeace will probably sue.What matters is that for the second time in just over 40 years, France has capitulated to terrorists.It happened in the Second World War— it was called Vichy.Let’s call the Rainbow Warrior incident Vichy II so the French know how terribly they have acted, and to remind them why it is so dangerous to world peace to do something that seems as trivial as sinking a ship.PETER SCOWEN Bruce Levett Reagan and company have made an about-face NEW YORK (CP) — Congress is running the country, Mikhail Gorbachev has the ear of the world, and right-wing Republicans are at each others’ throats.After last fall's sweeping re-election victory, few people were willing to predict that Ronald Reagan would find himself on the defensive less than a year later, his radical conservative agenda shelved while he struggles to reassert his leadership.But that’s exactly how many commentators are assessing the U.S.president's current predicament.In his first term, Reagan moved aggressively to redistribute income, slashing taxes, cutting public services and quadrupling military spending.Domestically, neo-conservativism profoundly altered American thinking on issues from civil rights to religion to justice.Internationally, the president sought to “roll back” what conservatives saw as Soviet expansion into areas as far-flung as Central America, South Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East.Counter-revolutionary movements were sponsored in Nicaragua, Kampuchea and Angola; troops were sent to Grenada and Lebanon; arms talks were broken off; new missiles were deployed in Europe."Reagan did not merely respond to Soviet initiatives, Third World revolutions or regional wars,” one columnist noted last week.Larry Black “Time after time, he sought to seize the initiative, to set terms by which international relations would be conducted, to make pre-emptive strikes and capture the high ground." At home and abroad, Ronald Reagan set the agenda.And that agenda was unusually ideologic for an American president.Since his re-election, his powerful leadership has given way to a newly assertive Congress, which has pressed its own programs on trade protection, South African sanctions, foreign policy and agricultural supports.Neo-conservative causes like abortion, school prayer and abolition of minority-hiring practices have gone into political limbo.Reagan's own pet domestic project, tax reform, appears to be making little headway.“The fact is that his promised political fall offensive’ on Capitol Hill has become a retreat,” the New York Times’s James Reston wrote this week.The reality is that Reagan, and ma- ny like-minded Republicans, are now compromising on key planks of his radical 1980 campaign platform.“Almost everything he proposed to get elected he has repudiated to stay in power,” argues Reston.“ Almost everything he rejected.he has not only accepted but insisted that this was on his mind all along." GIVES SOVIET EDGE Outside the United States, attention has been focused on the confident sophistication of Gorbachev, and western commentators have been almost unanimous in suggesting the Soviet leader is ahead in the struggle for position going into the November summit with the Soviet leader in Geneva.Reagan, still the Great Communicator at home, is being beaten at his own game abroad, his critics argue.Gorbachev, one columnist wrote recently, “has been running rings around him in pre-summit propaganda.” While foreign policy was not an area of major successes for Reagan in his first term, U.S.allies ignored administration initiatives only at their peril.Canada’s refusal to get involved in his Star Wars program, and Reagan’s inability to rally international pressure against Greece during the Beirut hostage-taking are mentioned as examples of policy failures almost unthinkable in his first term.While the president’s diminishing influence abroad can perhaps be attributed to events beyond his control, Reagan’s flagging leadership at home has many people asking ques- tions.His strong recovery from his cancer operations this summer appears to rule out poor health as an explanation, and his personal popularity remains very high.LIKE EISENHOWER?"Even before Mr, Reagan went into hospital, he hadn't seemed to be moving the government very far or very fast,” notes Wall Street Journal columnist Lindley Clark, suggesting Reagan’s second term might resemble that of Dwight Eisenhower Eisenhower, who suffered a heart attack and underwent surgery, achieved relatively little in his second term.Looming mid-term elections,slated for November 1986.are likely a factor in waning Republican support in Congress, and early jockeying to succeed Reagan has undoubtedly provoked new rifts within party ranks.But the strongest factor in Reagan’s premature lame-duck situation, some commentators argue, is his move to the political centre.Some suggest he has one eye on the history books, and wants to be recorded as a president of peace and prosperity.Others note the broadening base of the Republican party, and the need to widen its platform to accommodate this new diversity.“This kind of talk does not sit well with party conservatives who want to keep the focus on abortion, school prayer and other issues that some party moderates fear could alienate younger voters,” one article suggested.mm i EWŒWloô : Matt,arc Letter The school board blues ; Dear Sir: ; Congratulations to the members of Î the now defunct Saint Francis Protes-J tant School Board who recently voted themselves out of a job ! These worthy people voted to annex the territory served by this board to that served by the Lennoxville District School Board.In doing so, they have deprived the people of Drummondville, Danville, Ulverton, Windsor, Asbestos and Richmond of representation on any school board.Annexation means being swallowed up by something bigger, so that the Saint Francis Protestant School Board is swallowed up and no longer exists.Neither does the Eastern Townships Regional School Board, because it was only a joint council formed by the Saint Francis Board and the LDSB.Legally, the only school board left is the Lennoxville District School Board, composed of eleven members.None of these members represent the people of Drummond, Richmond or Johnson counties.Their elected commissioners are out.Their mandate has been cancelled by the annexation.Taxpayers in other counties of the Eastern Townships can tell you what will happen.First you lose your commissioners, then you lose your schools.Thank you for the opportunity to express some of the frustrations felt by parents and taxpayers who see their school system fading away.Sincerely yours, THELMA WESTMAN Melbourne Away with those dastardly gadgets Are machines becoming just too darned intrusive in our lives?First, it was the pocket beeper — that dandy little gadget you hang from your belt.Somebody telephones you and it goes "beep’’ which immediately stamps you as someone in constant demand.(I had a friend, a photographer, who had an agreement with someone to telephone him at uneven intervals.One night, he lost the machine in the course of a rather protracted pub crawl.He spent the next day retracing his steps and dialing himself.) Then there came the talking dashboard.Have you hit this one yet?You slink from the house following a livelier-than-usual session of nagging.("Have you put your rubbers away?Why don’t you ever hang up your jacket?MUST you always leave the papers all over the floor?Before you sit down, would you mind taking out the garbage?”) You mumble your w ay out to the car.enter, place key into ignition and it begins: “Hey.honey — do you realize your battery’s getting low9” (This stupid dashboard doesn't know the half of it.) “The driver’s door is still open, Clyde.Also, your windshield’s dirty and you are out of washer fluid The coolant could use a topping-up.” On a bad day, your dashboard can give you more schtick than she ever thought of.And now there is something new with which to contend — the key beeper It was invented to make life easier for those clots who can’t remember the next day where they put their keys the night before.(Which is, truth to tell, most of us.) “I tell you I left them on the key hook in the kitchen." “Well, if you did, they would still be there, wouldn't they?” “Then YOU must have moved them!” “Arrrrgh! I’m going to get you one of those new key beepers!” This gadget attaches to the key ring on the not-unreasonable assumption that if you lose your keys, you will, perforce, lose the beeper along with them.Having discovered the loss, there is no longer any need to prowl the premises turning things over.No.You just clap your hands a few times and then follow the ensuing beep to the source.The clapping, you see, sets off said beep.A boon to mankind, surely?Not necessarily.Should this thing catch on, pandemonium may ensue.I,et me set the stage: Pavarotti is appearing at the concert hall.Magnificently, he soars toward a note so high as to be completely audible only to your Airedale.Some 4.000 patrons leap to their feet, applauding wildly.Instantly.4,000 beepers begin to beep, including the one in the artist's back pocket.Pavarotti, caught off guard, does a completely unrehearsed IVi gainer into the orchestra pit.Let me tell you — this time they may have gone too far.On

comet nears Earth every 76 years, millions of copies of the Farmers’ Almanac come off the presses every September and editor Ray Geiger goes on a whirlwind tour to promote it Visiting hundreds of newspapers and broadcast outlets as well as the businesses that distribute the almanac.Geiger has peddled the 169-year-old publication and the wholesomeness it espouses for more than three decades.But Geiger, who turned 75 recently, won’t be making the tour this year.His doctor wants to make sure he doesn't follow the example of Mark Twain, who was born in a Halley’s comet year and, as the author predicted, died when it returned in 1910.“I had a skirmish with death, but I don’t intend to go out with it,” says Geiger, who is recovering from a stroke he suffered April 1.“ I intend to be around another 15 years.” His son and associate editor, Peter, 34, who has helped promote the almanac for 12 years, will handle the promotion this fall.“It’s hard being grounded.” Geiger said in an interview at Geiger Bros., his advertising-products company in Lewiston.The elder Geiger has been selling since age six when he peddled bread to neighbors.Editor of the Farmers’ Almanac since 1934, he began hitting the road to sell it in the late 1940s and has since, by his own account, given 18,000 newspaper, radio and television interviews.He complained that the Farmers’ Almanac’s rival, the New Hampshire-based Old Farmers Almanac, recently recycled a tidbit from its 1833 edition.Geiger’s almanac is sold to banks, insurance companies and other businesses, which distribute it free to their customers.The Old Farmers Almanac is sold directly to readers.The publication has long published articles and inspirational messages that reflect traditional values, along with its famous long-range weather predictions, “philosofacts,” and corny quips.The new edition forecasts a fairly mild winter.“We expect the jet stream to return to normal and those hard-hit areas such as the Rockies and the Midwest will get some welcome relief.” Each year the almanac tackles a special theme.Earlier campaigns have included one against the ninedigit ZIP code and another in favor of multi-colored currency.“We try to have issues that keep life simple for people,” said Peter Geiger.“They’re not the kind of things that people will protest about.” A recent almanac special theme was hugging and “you’d be surprised the mail it generated,” said Peter Geiger.As the 1986 almanac puts it: “It was a big year on the hugging front.In the year ahead we are not giving up on the hug campaign, because a 12-month crusade just isn’t enough time to de vote to a great big national and even international Hugfest.” Grenada parliament gets helping hand from Canada By Dan Bedell HALIFAX (CP) — Two years after its Marxist regime was ousted by invading American troops, Grenada has turned to Canada for help in restoring its parliamentary form of government.Elections last year produced a 15-member Parliament that sat for the first time last Dec.29, restoring democracy to the Caribbean island after an absence of almost six years.The Grenadian Parliament has met briefly a couple of times since, with some confusion arising from the fact that most MPs are rookies.“Since only two members have any previous parliamentary experience, they felt it would be advisable for them to have people come in and talk to them about running a parliamentary system." says Arthur Donahoe, Speaker of the Nova Scotia legislature.Donahoe was one of five people recently sent by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association to help.The others include House of Commons clerk assistant Philip Laundy, deputy Speaker Sir Paul Dean and senior clerk Michael Ryle, both of the British Parliament, and Wilfred St.Clair-Daniel, Speaker in the Parliament of St.Lucia HOLDS SEMINARS “We conducted seminars on parliamentary procedure for both the elected members of Parliament and the 13 appointed members of the Grenadian Senate.” The seminars, conducted in Grenada last week, dealt with relations between Parliament and the electorate, the role and duties of the Speaker.cabinet ministers and backbenchers, control of finances and internationally-accepted rules on parliamentary debate.“I was extremely impressed by the response — we had virtually perfect attendance over the five days." Despite its lack of experience.Do- nahoe said the New National party of Prime Minister Herbert Blaize had no overwhelming difficulties that prompted the call for guidance from outside parliamentarians.“There was just a feeling that because there were so many inexperienced parliamentarians that they would all benefit from having people come in and talk about how a Parliament functions.” Grenada’s Parliament will go back into session soon and if unforeseen difficulties arise, Donahoe says the group could return to offer some remedial training.“They were genuinely interested in what we had to say to them and the idea now is to go back into session and see how things function.” LOSES STATUS Grenada’s membership in the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association was suspended following the 1979 coup that overthrew the gover- nment of Prime Minister Sir Eric Gai-ry and brought then-opposition leader Maurice Bishop to power.Bishop was slain in an October 1983 coup that precipated the U.S.invasion.Gairy’s United Labor party was routed in the election last year, with party member Marcel Peters winning the only opposition seat.Donahoe said life in Grenada appears calm two years after the invasion by about 7,000 U.S.army rangers and marines.Security is currently provided by an international force from other friendly Caribbean islands.“I was surprised by the extent to which the Grenadian people welcome the Americans.There remains a very high degree of approval for the American intervention.” Queen Elizabeth, who last visited Grenada in 1966 when it was still a British colony, plans to visit the island Oct.31 during a three-week tour of seven Caribbean countries.« * Farm and Business The RECORD—Monday, September 23, IMS—5 the' —____gpj uecara System is killing Canada’s investors — Stephen Jarislowski By Eugene Ellmen TORONTO (CP) — Small investors in Canada are under a mounting attack by unethical corporate managements and their lawyers and accountants aided by investment houses which have conflicts of interest, says Stephen Jarislowski, a champion of shareholder rights.In a sweeping condemnation of the entire system of investment in this country, Jarislowski, a Montreal investment counsellor, told more than 1,000 Bay Street brokers and analysts Thursday their system is increasingly shutting out the small investor.In a move to curb the growing power of “Canadian moguls," Jarislowski said his firm, Jarislowski and Fraser Co.Ltd., is refusing to purchase non-voting stock or to deal with companies in which it does not trust the principals.“I would say that by now this eliminates 20 per cent of the Canadian stock market for us,” he told the annual forecast dinner of the Toronto Society of Financial Analysts.“Do you have any difficulty thinking of the names of Canadian moguls whose only claim to fame is that they got rich by buying shares cheap from the public and by using lawyers and accountants who were able to outsmart the small shareholder?How many of these characters have really built real businesses?“The cards in Canada are becomingly increasingly stacked against the minority investor." CITES ABUSES Jarislowski offered the following examples of stock market abuses: — A 35-per-cent minority investor was "legally dispossessed” when stock prices were at the bottom of a cyclical market in a cyclical stock.— A company artificially kept its stock low and then issued new stock, most of which went directly to a majority shareholder, while company management secretly knew the firm would triple its yearly earnings.— In a merger designed “to grab the cash” of a partially-owned subsidiary of one of the merging companies the courts refused to hear any shareholder objections.In an obvious but unnamed criticism of the recent deal between Southam Inc.and Torstar Corp., Jarislowski said a major company (Southam) sold a 30-per-cent share to a competitor (Torstar) to protect the Southam family, which held a large share of the company, from a takeover bid LOSE RESPECT "How can the shareholders of that company have respect for that management?" he asked He said the small shareholders are powerless because securities commissions don’t have the clout to protect investors.In addition, underwriting firms often have a conflict of interest between the companies for which they sell stock and the investors to whom they recommend stock."Is Bell Canada Wood Gundy's client or am I, as one of the largest counselling firms, Wood Gundy’s client?" He also noted that companies involved in takeover bids often pay investment houses $40,000 to $50,000 for fairness opinions on those bids.Small investors arc defenceless against these forces because of the huge legal costs necessary to launch a fight, he said.For example, it costs $500,000 in legal fees for a trial under the Canadian Business Corporations Act.“Who can fight with after-tax paid dollars against tax deductible dollars of the very company which he is supposed to own?" Council calls for more research money OTTAWA (CP) — Canada must join the “biotechnology revolution” because genetic engineering can bring new opportunities to the struggling agriculture and natural resources sectors, the Science Council of Canada said Thursday.The science council, in a report based on a two-year study, urges the federal government and private industry to spend more money to strengthen biotechnological research and to work to ensure commercial applications of new developments are fully realized.It also recommends the government fill gaps in the regulatory system to ensure new biotechnological products can be put to prompt commercial use without jeopardizing public safety.Biotechnology is the use of genetic engineering to produce new life forms which can perform functions previously carried out by machines or chemicals, like pest control or the production of pulp and paper.Manmade lifeforms could also be used for such things as cleaning up oil spills or breaking down toxic wastes.Biotechnology can also produce new strains of plants capable of adapting to the poor soil conditions and short growing seasons that are typical in many regions of Canada.The council report urges the government to spend $150 million over the next 10 years to fund special interdisciplinary research teams specializing in biotechnology.It also urges Agriculture Canada to spend 20 per cent of its research budget on biotechnology.SUPPORT PRIVATE RESEARCH It also says the government should set up a $10-million program to support biotechnological research by small- and medium-sized companies.Another $10 million should be reallocated from industrial and regional development programs to help companies put advances in genetic engineering to commercial use.The government should also find ways to encourage closer contact between university researchers and private industry so that the full commercial potential of biotechnological work is realized.The council also urges the pulp and paper industry to double its research and development spending to 0.6 per cent of sales by 1992 and spend 5 per cent of that on biotechnological research.The council says the government should develop standards to control the registration and public release of genetically engineered products and urges the government to reverse its cost-cutting decision to not build two testing facilities for biotechnological products.Parliament should pass a plant-breeders' rights bill so that genetic engineers can patent new crop varieties, the report says.That should encourage more new research because companies would have control over potentially profitable new seed strains.Wheat licensing rules should be revised to encourage the development of new strains of grain, the council says.Amateur theatre groups now in trouble MONTREAL (CP) — Montreal-area amateur theatre groups are up in arms over a decision by Quebec to force them to pay government-set wages to all their actors, dancers, singers and backstage hands.“It will kill us,” Linda Laroche, president of the Arcadians amateur theatre group, said of the Quebec government’s move to enforce a provincial law to protect non-unionized workers.“I’m shocked,” said Meta Witthoeft of Lyric Theatre.“I don’t know how we can cope with any increase in expenses.” Her group is being asked to pay $10,000 in back wages, interest and costs on their 1984 production of Annie, staged at a high school on Montreal’s West Island.That’s $68 nightly for each musician, compared to the $29 paid by Lyric.Claude Jobin, who heads the provincial wage parity committee for Montreal-area musicians, says a new committee is being set up to establish amateur theatre wage rates, with the power to take offenders to court.Critics say the bureaucrats completely misunderstand the nature of amateur theatre, which is based on volunteer work and personal interest.WAS NEVER PAID “I spent four years working on amateur shows and never once thought of being paid,” said actress Kathy Michael McGlynn, who got her start in Montreal amateur theatre and who starred in the successful production of Cats in Toronto.K $50 of gasoline will get you from A to B, $50 of natural gas will get you from AtoB.And Back.Now there's a better fuel than gasoline for your car.Or your fleet of cars.Or your fleet of trucks, taxis, buses or vans.It’s natural gas.Using it makes a lot of sense.And it will probably change your mind about fuel economy.For one thing, natural gas costs about half as much as the equivalent amount of gasoline.So, right away, you can cut your present fuel bills almost in half.But there is more.Natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel.It reduces wear on your piston rings, plugs and exhaust system.And that could mean lower maintenance costs.Not only that, but the Government of Canada will help you convert to natural gas-with a taxable $500 grant for every vehicle you convert.And if your vehicles cover a lot of territory, you can recoup the cost in the first year.After that, all the savings are money in your pocket.Almost half a million vehicles around the world have already switched to natural gas.It’s economical.It’s in Naturally.gas.abundant supply.And you can always substitute gasoline as a back-up in situations where natural gas is not available.Find out why so many high - mileage vehicle owners are converting to natural gas.For complete information, just write to: The Natural Gas for Vehicles Program Energy.Mines and Resources Canada P.O.Box 4513, Station E OTTAWA, Ontario K1S5K6 Or for

S—The RECORD—Monday, September 23, Living Miii rim 1985 1___ «ectnig Discipline easier in single parent families Should you ever forget just how many different things we do on our feet, stop and think about how many different kinds of shoes that are available.We wear dress shoes, casual shoes, house shoes, tennis shoes, golf shoes, bowling shoes, winter shoes, summer shoes, running shoes, walking shoes, work shoes, high-healed shoes, low-heeled shoes, and on and on and on.Whether you have two pairs of shoes or twenty pairs usually depends on your budget and your life-style.But whether or not those shoes are helping or hindering your ability to perform your daily activities depends entirely upon how they fit and what they do for your body’s structure.“Comfortable” fit isn't necessarily a “proper" fit.A shoes can often lack the support you might need for your specific foot, back, spine, leg or neck problem.That’s right The wrong shoe can cause discomfort in various parts of the body-all the way from blisters, to headaches, to spinal problems.That’s because when you deal with the feet, you are affecting the body’s center of gravity, much like the foundation of a building.If the foundation is off, it will put more pressure on one side of the body—maybe even make the person structurally imbalanced like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.Shoes should never cramp the feet.They should allow plenty of room, particularly around the toes.This is especially important to remember when buying shoes for children.A child’s foot is constantly growing.Therefore it’s important that they be fitted properly.and frequently.A child's shoe should allow W to W’ extra length from the longest toe.And the width of the shoe should be such that all toes are able to rest on the sole of the shoe when full weight is placed on it.The heel should be snug, but not tight.A heel that is too tight can be painful.And so can one that is too loose because of the rubbing up and down that occurs with each step.For the same reason that a person is slightly taller in the morning, feet are slightly larger toward the end of the day.As you're sleeping during the night, your body settles end to end, with gravity pushing your weight downward and out.Likewise, after a full day of walking and standing, all your weight is on your feet, causing them to spread and stretch in both length and width.What all this leads up to is simply the fact that it is best to try on shoes in the afternoon or evening to get the best possible fit.Now what about specific foot needs.Canadians spend over a million per year in over-the-counter foot aids such as arch supports, pads, lifts, etc.Often times these can help to compensate for structural differences.But more often than not, unless these appliances are prescribed by a health specialist, they aren't suitable for the problem and thus fail to maintain support in the proper places.In some cases they could do more harm than good since the structure of the body is involved If you suffer from back pain related to foot problems and have never consulted a doctor of chiropractic, it would be wise to do so He is an expert in body balance, disorders of the back, neck and spine.all the areas that are directly affected by foot problems and/or shoes that aren’t right for you.There are some basic guidelines your doctor of chiropractic might give you, in addition to treatment or referral.For example, most people with back trouble should wear low-heeled oxfords for standing or walking.Elderly persons should never wear shoes with ribbed soles, crepe soles, patterned or rippled heels.Because elderly per sons usually have a tendency to drag their feet, these types of shoes increase the risk of tripping.A smooth sole is preferred.With the ever-increasing popularity of tennis shoes or sneakers, it is important to remember that no tennis shoe will improve any game or any foot that is not conditioned to the particular activity.Feet have to be broken in to a sport just as shoes do.Buying a good tennis shoe, however, can make a world of difference.A foot or back problem will be aggravated by the extra stress of the activity if there is not adequate shoe support.With many shoes especially tennis shoes, arch support is a big selling point.Not everyone needs this.If you do, it should be recommended by a health specialist, such as a doctor of chiropractic or podiatrist.You should be more concerned with heel cushioning.A slight raise at the heel is good.The inner sole should be soft, with plenty of bounce.There should be no exposed stitching inside the shoe that will rub or irritate the foot.Remember, too, that tennis shoes aren’t good jogging shoes.Jogging shoes should have thick soles.Tennis shoe soles are usually thin.Let’s assume your shoes are fitted properly and you still experience pain in your foot, leg, hip, back or neck.If so, it could be the result of some other structural problem.It would be wise then to visit a doctor of chiropractic for a comprehensive examination of your spine and structural system.Since the spine is subject to misalignment due to a multitude of activity and environmental factors, many people have such examinations on a regular basis Ann Landers AM Dear Ann Landers: Please stop telling people to let the phone ring 12 times before hanging up I live in a small apartment

family, however, has its advantages despite the economic and emotional strain.Single parents — there are a million of them in Canada — say they can impose one standard of discipline without conflict in decision-making.“Children have a built-in tolerance for the peculiarities of a single parent,’’ Bryan Knight, a single parent himself, writes in Enjoying Single Parenthood “In a way, it’s the driving force for a single parent to live positively.” Juggling the demands of single parenthood with a personal life may require acrobatic skills, but it is possible.“We are all capable of a lot more than we would think we are,” says Andrew Maedougall, a computer scientist who is bringing up his two sons, aged nine and 11, by himself.Although parents whose marriages have broken down must often have to deal with anger, guilt and rejection, children will adjust to a one-parent situation as well as their parents do, says one family-life educator.“My feeling is that children are a good barometer of how the parent is doing,” says Roz Friend, assistant to the co-ordinator of family life education services at Jewish Family Services of the Baron de Hirsch Institute.Friend, 39, is a single mother.REFLECT PROBLEMS Children who are having problems at school, seeking excessive attention or quarreling with siblings could be reflecting problems the parents are having, says Friend.Children must be reassured that they are not to blame for the breakup of a marriage and that they’re not being rejected or abandoned, says Selma Corobow, a member of the family-life education service at a local health centre.And, insists Corobow, parents should strive for agreement in de-cisionsabout their children so that one parent doesn’t undermine theefforts of the other.Friend, who has three daughters, aged 11, 16 and 18, has been divorced for 2‘4 years, but still maintains a good relationship with her ex-husband.“I know their father is the only other person in this world who loves my children the way I do." In 1983, 133,000 single Canadian men had custody of their children.One of them is welfare recipient Emanuel Kalamaras.Kalamaras fought to keep his children, Marie-Melissa, 4, and Gabriel-Adam, 3, because he believed he was the better parent to look after them.“I like everything about being with my kids: when they’re playing, growing, drawing.I have my off days, but in general it’s nice to be with them, bring them up.” TIGHT SQUEEZE Kalamaras admits, however, that making ends meet on his $650-monthly welfare cheque is very difficult — but he insists he is doing what he wants to do.As he has no trade, Kalamaras would be able to find only a low-paying job which would net him less than welfare once daycare costs were paid The idea that the feelings of single fathers for their children are not disrupted by divorce or separation has been rejected by social scientists.In treating divorcing fathers, John Jacobs of the Montefiore Medical Center in New York found several psychological effects, including depression, sleeplessness, worry about their relationship with their children and, occasionally, outrage.“These men are furious at being in this situation," says Jacobs.“They develop an intense hatred of the legal system, by which they feel they have been victimized.” Although many single fathers are regarded as extraordinary because they do so many things, most evidence indicates that they approach the task no differently from single mothers.The sex of the parent isn’t as important as the burden of going it alone, says University of Maryland professor Geoffrey Grief, author of Single Fathers, based on a study of more than 1,000 single fathers.“The equalizer is that they're single parents.” Rainbow song hits the big time By Janice Lavallee WINNIPEG (CP) — When Linden Soles wrote a song for his dying grandmother two years ago, he had no idea it would become a song of hope for terminally-ill children across Canada.Soles, a Winnipeg television news announcer, originally penned The Rainbow Song for his grandmother Sally White, who died of cancer in 1983.But today, the five-verse tune is the theme song for The Rainbow Society Inc., a non-profit organization that grants wishes to dying children.Last week, more than 40 Winnipeg singers, including well-known children’s entertainer Fred Pen-ner and folk singer Heather Bishop, donated their time to record the song.Proceeds from the sale of the record will be given to the Rainbow Society Michelle Harrison, who founded the society with two friends in 1983, said the studio time, as well as the production costs for the record, were all donated.Harrison, a former social worker, said the society grants wishes to terminally-ill Canadian children under the age of 18.It has flown a four-year-old leu kemia victim to Disneyland and arranged for another youngster to meet his favorite National Hockey League player.Harrison said the society also focuses on giving these children a temporary shot at a career they’ve always wanted or buying them a special gift or pet their parents couldn't afford.PAYS FOR CRUISE Whatever the wish, it’s paid for through money raised by the society or donations from businesses and service clubs.For example, the society recently sent a 17-year-old girl and her father on a Caribbean cruise courtesy of the Lions Club of Manitoba.The Rainbow Society was given a startup grant of $16.009 from the federal government and received $3,500 from the city of Winnipeg this year.However, Harrision said she hopes it will eventually become financially independent.The society currently has 100 members and about 50 volunteers.Members pay annual dues of $25 and can buy lifetime memberships for $100.Harrison said she feels there is a strong need for the service the society offers because often parents are preoccupied with their child’s disease and don’t have the energy to deal with all their needs.“Their money’s tied up in taking their children to Toronto or needing a new drug and it’s a relief when they have the wish granted,” she said.Soles said he read about the society in the newspaper and felt he could relate to the kind of work it was doing.“I’ve had a lot of family members who’ve had their own kind of battles with cancer,” he said.“My grandmother died of it, my aunt and mother have had problems with it I just felt I could offer some understanding and empathy for anybody else going through it.” CHANCE TO GIVE For performers such as comedian and singer Peter Jordan, the day at the studio was an opportunity to contribute to a worthwhile cause.“I think it’s a great organization,” he said following a brief stint at the microphone.“It’s heartrending when you see a child that’s going to die.I think it’s really heartrending so I know that everybody that’s in there is doing it with the same spirit.” The recording has been dubbed Rainbow Aid because of the song’s similarity to tunes recorded for famine victims^in Ethiopia.You’ll score & s' when you are a RED CROSS Blood Donor MATHIAS TYPEWRITER: EXCHANGE Sales & Service Reconditioned Typewriters Repairs to All Makes 41 Weffingten St.Nerthi phone 562-0440 MAKER
