scuttlebutt.“We have no intentions of closing or moving our plant in Cowansville,” Kissick continued.“We haven’t shut down any of our other plants, either.Our plant in Montreal is still operating.We just leased it to Petromont.There was some talk at the time about it clo- sing,” about a year ago, “but it did not,” after a $30 million bailout by the federal and provincial governments.“That’s also the case in Sarnia -we're transferring the lease.These plants do produce resins and pellets that are used in Cowansville,” Kissick confirmed, “but so do a lot of other places.” The plant leased by Petromont manufactures polyethylene pellets from ethylene gas made by another Petromont plant in Va-rennes.Union Carbide Cowansville is a major pellet customer.The economically shaky Petromont operation also produces propylene, an industrial-grade alcohol, for which BASF-Canada is sole customer.But BASF-Canada is scheduled to close down in February, which in turn jeopardizes Petromont.The BASF-Canada and possible Petromont closures are domino effects of Gulf Canada closing their Montreal East refinery.Gulf Canada had supplied most of the BASF-Canada raw materials.When the refinery closed, the cost of importing the raw materials became prohibitive.While acknowledging the domino effect, Kissick emphasized that the Cowansville plant wouldn't be affected.Cowansville requires only a pellet supply, not chemical feed stocks, and is essentially a rolling mill, crushing the pellets into plastic sheeting.“Cowansville is actually our second-biggest plant in this line of product,” he noted.Pellets can be imported economically from many other suppliers in both Canada and the United States.Importing pellets might become uneconomical only if C.P.Rail closes down their Newport subdivision.A tentative move to do so several years ago met resistance in Parliament from then-transport critic Don Mazankowski, now federal transport minister.Union Carbide is C.P.Rail’s only significant customer on the Newport subdivision, an alternative link between Montreal and New England.But Union Carbide also receives pellets by truck, and could operate See UNION, page 7.Airplane crash Canada’s worst By Stephen Thome GANDER, Nfld.(CP) — The bloodiest year in commercial aviation history claimed another 258 lives Thursday when a chartered DC-8 carrying U.S.soldiers slammed into a desolate area near Gander International Airport, killing all aboard.The plane exploded on impact after takeoff and disintegrated, sending flames shooting into the predawn sky as it gouged a charred path through a hilly, woody area Explosion lit up sky By Robert MacPherson GANDER, Nfld.(CP) — Thursday started off like any other chilly morning at Gander airport as Judy Parsons and Hedley Gill — friendly rivals in the rent-a-car business —- got their dozen vehicles ready for early customers.There wasn’t anything unusual, either, about the Arrow Air DC-8 chartered jetliner lumbering down the tarmac, past the parking lot and sprawling terminal building.It was one hour before the crack of dawn, and the plane’s white taxi lights were glaring.“You could just hear it taxiing up,” Parsons said.“It was the same sound as anytime.“We hear it so much, we don’t even notice it.It was pitch black.” See EXPLOSION, page 2 about 400 metres from the airport, authorities and witnesses said.It was the worst air crash ever in Canada.The stretch DC-8 was carrying 247 male and three female soldiers and eight civilian crew members to Hopkinsville, Ky., on a flight that originated at Cairo and stopped over at Cologne, West Germany, before landing at Gander to refuel.Children’s clothing and other gifts bought for families back home were among the debris found in the smouldering bush as searchers began looking for the flight recorder from the shattered remains that once was the DC-8.GOING HOME The troops were returning home after serving in an international peacekeeping force in the Sinai Peninsula.Instead, they were taken to a temporary morgue set up in an airport hangar.The crash occurred at about 6:45 a.m.Newfoundland time shortly after the plane, owned by Arrow Airlines of Miami, Fla., lifted off from a slippery runway after refuelling.The temperature was -4 C at the time of the crash and freezing rain and snow had fallen overnight.Witnesses say the DC-8 dropped into an uninhabited area near Burner’s Hill at the north end of Gander Lake and scattered bodies and debris in its wake.Pieces of grey fuselage littered the crash site, with a few arms and legs poking through the rubble.A Gander RCMP spokesman said the cause of the crash isn’t See HOMECOMING, page 2 G 9 W 1 RECORD/GRANT A genuine bad guy Richard Kiel, a really big man, came to Sherbrooke Thursday to promote a new movie he is in along with Clint Eastwood.While in the city he was presented a Sherbrooke Canadiens shirt by members of the team.See story page 3.Servicemen sang, bought gifts before crash By Elaine McCluskey GANDER, Nfld.(CP) - Every time Cynthia Goodyear closes her eyes, she sees the smiling faces of American servicemen, laden with Christmas gifts, toys and T-shirts reading: “I survived Gander, Newfoundland.” “But they didn’t,” says Goodyear.shaking her head in disbelief.“I keep hoping it’s a dream.” The 250 servicemen, on their way home after serving in an international peacekeeping force in the Sinai Peninsula, died in a fiery plane crash Thursday in this central Newfoundland town.Eight members of the Arrow Airways DC-8 also died in the disaster.Moments before their deaths, the servicemen were in the air- ports Gander’s well-stocked dutyfree shop, singing Christmas carols and buying gifts.“Just about everyone of them bought some little thing to take back home,” said Goodyear, who waited on many of the Americans before they boarded the aircraft.“They were just so happy to be going home.” Goodyear said the servicemen, all in uniform and high spirits, didn’t bother with the usual dutyfree items - cigarettes and booze.Instead, they concentrated on carefully selected presents for their loved ones -stuffed animals, perfume and crystal.FAMILY PRESENTS Goodyear remembers a blond, hatless American who bought presents for his mother and father.He left the shop with a money clip inscribed with the words Super Dad and a set of crystal glasses for his mother.“He had the glasses on the tip of his fingers and was kind of swaying around, dancing to the music.My friend said ‘Oh he’s going to drop them and breakthem.’ We just looked at him and smiled and he didn’t.” Another serviceman told Goodyear that Thursday was his anniversary.A set of crystal birds he purchased was probably a gift for his wife, she said.Goodyear said she noticed that Christmas music pumped through the airport was coming in extra loud.But the Americans didn’t mind.‘‘They were singing away, clicking their fingers,” Goodyear says.“They were really happy.” Many of the Americans were “baby-faced” youngsters who looked 18 or 19 years old, Goodyear said.She waited on one of three women servicemen, who purchased some candy bars.The captain of the plane entered the shop, thanked the staff for their help and said “I’ll see you again next week.” Goodyear, who came off her overnight shift after the Americans left, hasn’t been able to sleep since the crash.Their plane exploded as she was driving on the highway leaving the international airport.“I was so shocked.I keep hoping I’m going to wake up and find out it was all a dream.” Paper drive to help keep soup kitchen open Mario Mercier.poor always there.By William Harris SHERBROOKE — When you’re finished reading this edition of The Record, don’t throw it out! Why, you ask?Because young welfare recipients and the homeless in the Sherbrooke area are counting on you.It was announced in a press conference Thursday that Eco-ressources, a local paper recycling organization, and La Chaudronnée de I’Estrie', a soup kitchen for the poor located on Wellington street in downtown Sherbrooke, have joined forces for a massive two-day paper-drive.The drive will take place on Saturday, Dec.14 (centred aflace Belvedere) and Saturday, Dec.21 (centered at Les Galeries Quatre Saisons).WE’VE ALL GOT SOME “Everybody’s got some old newspapers, pamphlets, brochures, or some junk mail lying around the house that they don’t need,” said Denis Cliche, Eco-ressources president.“People can drop off their donations at our various locations, or they can phone us up and we’ll send a van to their homes if they’re unable to travel.” Cliche explained that his organization's main objective for 1986 is to get more involved with the various non-profit causes in the area, and to help them out in whatever way possible.“Everybody’s got a right to a hot meal,” he said.“There’s a definite and consistent market for used paper in the Eastern Townships, and all proceeds from this drive will be given directly to La Chaudronnée.’’ Sure, there’s a market for used paper — but it doesn’t pay very much.The current rate is about $30 per ton.TARGET OF $300 “Our goal is to raise about $300, so we re obviously not basing our entire year’s budget on this paper- drive,” said Mario Mercier, president of La Chaudronnée.“We’re just glad to be establishing this mutual understanding, and it will hopefully lead to bigger and better things in the future.” Mercier added that it’s important for La Chaudronnée to develop private contacts and supporters because of the unpredictability of government aid.“Federal and provincial help comes in and out like the tide,” he explained.“It always depends on the overall financial and economic state of the country, which is forever changing.” “But the problems of the homeless and the poor never go away,” continued Mercier.“That’s the one ‘constant’ that we at La Chaudronnée face every day of the year.” For more information about the paper-drive, feel free to contact Mercier at 819-563-8319, or Simon Lafrance of Eco-ressources at 819-563-5501.Private side high on Bourassa’s list By Linda Drouin QUEBEC (CP) — Robert Bourassa was sworn in as Quebec premier Thursday and immediately gave notice that his Liberal government will stress private enterprise, deregulation of business and selling of provincial Crown corporations.In a speech in the ceremonial Red Room of the national assembly where the Canadian flag was flying for the first time in many years, Bourassa told the 300 guests “this government is now a catalyst and not an entrepreneur.” As proof of his intentions, he put Justice Minister Herbert Marx in charge of a new deregulation portfolio and named a junior minister to sell or trim Crown corporations — a job that went to Pierre Fortier, anengineer and former Hydro-Quebec executive.Bourassa said his government would be moving “without haste, but firmly” to put provincially-owned corporations into private hands and cut down government red tape.More than half the 28-member cabinet is made up of ministers with business backgrounds.The cabinet includes four women and four representatives of Quebec’s 800,000 English-speaking residents.LEVESQUE GETS NOD The crucial finance portfolio went to Gerard D.Lévesque, a car Canadian flag back for good QUEBEC (CP) — The return of the Canadian flag to the Quebec national assembly was greeted with loud cheers Thursday as Premier Robert Bourassa presented his cabinet.Both the Maple Leaf and the Quebec fleur-de-lis flags were present at the swearing-in ceremony for the Liberal Party Leader’s new ea-binetin the assembly’s Red Room.For the nine years that the Parti Québécois was in power, only the fieur-de-lis appeared in the Blue and Red rooms where receptions are held and most parliamentary commissions sit.Asked by a reporter if the Canadian flag was back in the Assembly for good, Bourassa answered “Yes,” to loud applause.dealer and dean of the assembly, who was first elected in 1956.Levesque expressed some surprise at the nomination and acknowledged that his close relationship with Bourassa, who likes to stay close to the finance department, might have influenced the choice.“I was surprised in a certain way,” Lévesque told reporters.“But we concluded we could work together to do the best job in the department which is at the top of this government’s concerns.” Bourassa put two newcomers with strong business backgrounds into economic portfolios.Pierre MacDonald, former vice-president of the Bank of Montreal, is minister of external trade and Andre Vallerand, former executive vice-president of the Montreal Cham ber of Commerce, was named to a new junior portfolio of small business development.Michel Gratton, new gover-

participation at a summit of French-speaking nations scheduled for next February.But Bourassa hinted there may be further talks on the role of the two provinces at the Paris meeting.His statement contrasted sharply with that of former Parti Québécois premier Pierre Marc Johnson, who had said that Otta-wa’s decision to give New Brunswick the same status as Quebec at the summit was a “hostile gesture.” Soon after his new Liberal cabinet was sworn in, Bourassa said he had spoken with Premier Richard Hatfield of New Brunswick earlier in the day.Bourassa said he told Hatfield : "Obviously .I have no objection to New Brunswick being represented at the summit.“That being said, there is a Canadian political reality, with the relative strengths in the different provinces or regions, and that reality will have to apply at the summit.” MEET WITH MULRONEY Bourassa did not clarify his remarks, but noted he will meet with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in Montreal today for further discussions.Meanwhile, Bourassa’s minister of international relations, Gil Remillard, also suggested there would be further negotiations on the summit.Remillard, who left for Paris shortly after taking the oath of office, said the new government is “in agreement with the broad principles of the agreement” between Ottawa and Quebec.“We have to see how we can manage the application of the agreement I’m going to Paris to discuss it, but above all, Mr.Bou-rassa will meet Mr.Mulroney and it will be on the agenda.” Quebec governments negotiated for more than 15 years over the province's participation at francophone summits, which are similar to meetings of the English-speaking Commonwealth.S I » 2—The RECORD—Friday, December 13, 1985 MPs offer sympathy to crash victim kin By David Lord OTTAWA (CP) — MPs stood for a minute of silence in the Commons on Thursday after 258 passengers and crew died in the crash of a DC-8 airliner in Gander, Nfld., earlier in the day.Transport Minister Don Ma-zankowski told MPs that Canada offered its “deep and heartfelt condolences to those families that have been so tragically touched by this accident.” “During this season, when family is of such importance, we mourn with them over the loss of their loved ones.” The 250 passengers were U.S.military personnel heading home from the Middle East for Christmas.There was an eight-member civilian crew.Mazankowski said firefighting units at the airport were at the scene of the crash within eight minutes of receiving an alarm indicating the chartered DC-8 had gone down after takeoff.“An intensive, all-encompassing independent investigation is now under way to determine the cause of this tragedy.” The investigation will be carried out by the Canadian Aviation Safety Board.Teams from the U.S.National Transportation Safety Board and the U.S.Federal Aviation Agency were also hea- ded for the crash site.Earlier, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said the crash was an “enormous tragedy.” CALLS REAGAN Mulroney called U.S.President Ronald Reagan to offer his personal condolences, while Defence Minister Erik Nielsen and External Affairs Minister Joe Clark did the same with their American counterparts.The servicemen and women, members of the 101st Airborne Division, had been on peacekeeping duty in the Sinai and were en route from Cairo to the United States.The plane stopped at Cologne, West Germany, and Gander for refuelling.Oposition spokesmen in the Commons also offer condolences.Liberal Leader John Turner said “our hearts go out to the families” of the dead servicemen.New Democrat transport critic Les Benjamin paid tribute to the servicemen’s peacekeeping role.U.S.Ambassador Thomas Niles said in a statement: “We are deeply appreciative of the immediate reaction of Canadian civilian and military personnel on the scene.” Niles said the American officials en route to Gander “will be working closely with Canadian personnel to deal with this tragedy.” Homecoming ceremony planned in Kentucky Continued from page I known but so far, “there is nothing to indicate any act of terrorism.” The soldiers were members of the 101st Airborne Division stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky.They had been due to arrive in Kentucky four hours later, where they were to be greeted by the fort’s band, the commanding officer, wives, children and girlfriends in a homecoming ceremony that has become a base tradition.‘SAD DAY’ “This is a sad day,” said Sgt.Joseph Peake, a base spokesman.“We always hope that the guys you know that could be on it, weren’t on it.” The disaster brings to 1,948 the number of people known to have died in crashes this year by regularly scheduled and charter aircraft.Statistics do not include accidents in the Soviet Union.The previous worst year was in 1974 when 1,299 died.That record did not include charters.Canada’s previous worst crash claimed 118 lives when a Tran-Canada Air Lines DC-8 went down on Nov.29, 1963 at St.Therese de Blainville, Que., near Montreal shortly after take-off.Transport Canada spokesman Bruce Reid, returning to the airport after a helicopter tour over the secured site, said he knew of nothing to suggest an explosion in the air.“Where it came down, it obviously exploded on impact.Everything in the area is charred.We have no indication it exploded in the air.“It’s not nice to look at.” Dave Owen of the Canadian Aviation Safety Bureau would not comment when asked at a briefing whether the pilot had issued a distress call.Explosion came first, then the black smoke Continued from page 1 She started two cars to warm them up and looked at her watch.“It was exactly a quarter to seven.I was expecting the Eastern Provincial flight (from St.John’s, Nfld.), which we had customers on.” Then came disaster.The DC-8 turned around the corner, roared down the runway and was hardly off the ground when it crashed in a hilly, wooded area 400 metres from the airport — killing all 250 U.S.military personnel and eight civilian crew members aboard.The servicemen — and three women — were en route to their home base in Kentucky after a peacekeeping tour in the Sinai, a buffer zone between Israel and Egypt.The flight originated in Cairo and had already stopped to refuel in Cologne, West Germany.Its second stop was its last.It was the worst air crash ever in Canada.LIKE A SUNSET “There was this flash in the sky — like a sunset,” said Parsons, who was besieged at her tiny Til-den booth in the terminal arcade by out-of-town reporters wanting her story and any available cars.“I said to my competitor (Gill), ‘The sky seems awful bright this morning,’ and he said, ‘Yes.’ “That lasted for about, oh, two seconds.I’d say.Then right after I saw the explosion.That lasted for about four or five seconds.And then all the black smoke just came out.” Gill, who has been renting cars at Gander airport for nearly two decades, compared what he saw to the puffs of smoke that Wile E.Coyote, the Warner Brothers’ cartoon character, emits when he topples off a cliff and into the ground.“I heard this loud thump,” he recalled, strolling through the parking lot to better describe the tragedy.“And then I saw a big mushroom of fire, right off the end of the runway there and black smoke piling up.#1____ftE-l icecora George MacLeren, Publisher.$«9-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-4345 Lloyd G.Schelb,

difficult to make profits and create jobs.” TOUGH WITH UNIONS Bourassa also named two ministers who are expected to take a tough line with labor unions.Paul Gobeil, a former supermarket chain executive, is the new president of the Treasury Board.As the man responsible for the purse strings, Gobeil will be in charge of negotiating new contracts with Quebec’s 350,000 pu- blic-sector workers.Pierre Paradis, the runnerup to Bourassa in the 1983 Liberal leadership campaign, became labor minister.One of his leadership campaign promises was for a ban on strikes by public-sector workers in hospitals.Asked if he had consulted the labor movement before naming the ministers, Bourassa would only answer: “I assumed my responsibilities (in making the appointments).” Bourassa, who lost his seat in the Dec.2 election that gave the Liberals 99 of the 122 seats in the Quebec legislature, told reporters he has decided to run again in an early byelection.But he would not disclose which riding he chose, saying the announcement will come later.FIRST WOMAN EVER Until Bourassa is elected to the assembly, Vice-Premier Lise Bacon — the first woman ever named to the job — will direct the government in the legislature.Commenting on his meeting today with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in Montreal, Bourassa said he will propose constitutional negotiations.“We have to get started fast because I said I want to solve that in our first term, and it will take a year at least to get an agreement ratified with the other provinces.” He added that his plan for further hydroelectric development at James Bay is “still a great priority.” Bourassa’s first challenge will be a mini-budget to be presented in a special session next week.He has promised to cut $42 million worth of taxes by Jan.1, even though he acknowledged Thursday “the financial situation of Quebec is quite serious.” Asked about the Canadian flag, which the Parti Québécois government brought out only for visits of dignitaries, Bourassa said it was in the assembly “to stay.” Thumbnail sketches of the ministers QUEBEC (CP) — Following are thumbnail sketches of the senior ministers named to the Quebec cabinet Thursday by Premier Robert Bourassa: Lise Bacon.Deputy premier, cultural affairs.Lise Bacon (Chomedey), deputy premier and minister of cultural affairs: A Bourassa supporter during his 1983 leadership bid, she served in his government from 1973 to 1976 as minister of state for social affairs and minister of immigration.After her defeat in 1976, she served as a Canadian citizenship judge and vice-president of the Canadian Association of Life Insurance Companies.Since her re-election in 1981, she has been Liberal critic for the environment.Gerard D.Lévesque (Bonaven-ture), finance minister: He has represented his riding in the Gaspe Peninsula for 29 years and was interim Liberal leader on two occasions — when Bourassa resigned after his defeat in 1976, and when Claude Ryan resigned the top job in 1982.A lawyer and skillful orator, the 59-year-old Lévesque held a number of portfolios in previous governments, including justice, intergovernmental affairs and vice-premier.Claude Ryan.Formidable opponent.• mi i,miiiunnvr"- • 1 à * v\l Claude Ryan (Argenteuil), education minister: The austere Ryan has served as his party’s education critic since stepping down as Liberal leader in 1982.Educated at the Gregorian University in Rome, he was active in Roman Catholic groups until he became publisher of the influential Montreal daily Le Devoir in 1964.During his 14 years at the paper, his advice was sought by Quebec’s decision-makers.The 60-year-old Ryan’s painstaking eye for detail make him a formidable opponent in debate.After the Liberals lost the 1981 election, some caucus members rejected his high-road approach to politics and dumped him as leader.John Ciaccia (Mount Royal), minister of energy and resources: A former federal deputy minister of Indian affairs, he helped Bourassa to negotiate the James Bay treaty with native people before Quebec’s $15-billion hydro project was built.The 52-year-old Ciaccia was first elected in 1973.After the Liberals’ defeat in 1976, he was the party spokesman on industry and transport.Therese Lavoie-Roux (L’Acadie), minister of healthand social services, responsible for family policy: As her party’s social affairs critic, Lavoie-Roux constantly pressed the PQ government over deteriorating services in hospitals.A social worker with two university degrees, she headed the Montreal Catholic school board before entering provincial politics in 1976.Despite her mild and gracious manner, the 57-year-old Lavoie-Roux is known as a tenacious, “issue-oriented” politician.Pierre Paradis.Aggressive, abrasive style Pierre Paradis (Brome-Missisquoi), minister of labor, manpower and income security: A 35-year-old lawyer, Paradis has an aggressive, abrasive style in debate.He ran for the party leadership on a right-wing platform in 1983, placing a distant second behind Bourassa.Elected in the Eastern Townships in a 1980 byelection, he became social affairs critic.His acerbic duels with PQ ministers were seen as an ideal platform for the ambitious young lawyer.Daniel Johnson (Vaudreuil-Soulanges), minister of industry and commerce: He is the elder brother of Parti Québécois Leader Pierre Marc Johnson, and son of former Union Nationale premier Daniel Johnson.After studying law and business administration, he was vice-president of Power Corp., Paul Desmarais’ conglomerate, before getting into politics.Elected in 1981, he ran for the Liberal leadership in 1983 and finished third.He has since served as finance critic.Richard French (Westmount), minister of communications: The 38-year-old French holds a degree in biochemistry from the University of British Columbia and a doctorate in history from Oxford University.Before winning his central-Montreal riding in 1981, French taught at Princeton and McGill universities, and advised the Canadian Scie,ce Council and the Privy Council.Widely respected, French was named chairman of the assembly’s cultural affairs committee in March 1984.Pierre MacDonald (Robert Baldwin), minister of foreign trade, technological development.MacDonald, an ambitious, 49-year-old former Bank of Montreal vice-president, brings strong business experience to the cabinet.Describing his priorities as “unemployment, free trade and export negotiations, and the cost of caring for the elderly,” he has held a number of senior positions in business.A francophone, he has promised guarantees for English-language health and social services.He was given a safe anglophone riding in what Bourassa called an attempt to “get the best people possible” for the “worst economic situation in Quebec in 50 years.” Gil Remillard (Jean-Talon), minister of international relations and Canadian intergovernmental affairs: A widely-respected expert on constitutional law, Remillard was another “star” candidate with a safe riding.The 41-year-old Laval University professor was working as special adviser to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney when approached to run for the Liberals.He believes the Canadian Charter of Rights should apply in Que- QUEBEC (CP) — Following is the list of Quebec cabinet ministers, in order of seniority, sworn in Thursday:

this May.Promoters explained the plan to the area’s property owners who said “Over my dead body”.In unison.The project is the brainchild of Three Buoys Houseboat Charters.Russ McKinnon, Three Buoys’ Quebec president, calls it a Club Med tailored for the Canadian vacationer.The company has a flotilla of over 400 houseboats on other Canadian waterways.Rental price: $1335 per week during the summer months.McKinnon says Lake Memphremagog is an ideal location for the Quebec operation.“It’s an international waterway, so it’ll become a tourist destination on both sides of the border.It’s scenic and unspoiled, and the area’s golf courses, restaurants and other facilities have a lot to offer tourists.” C of C AGREES Danielle Lacoste, president of the Magog Chamber of Commerce agrees.“We need these guys in this area.They’ll help promote all the other businesses and show tourists what to do here.” Lacoste was in the minority with her support.More typical was the angry rejection of the project by Tony Straessle, a land-owner and farmer near Georgeville.He’s organized a petition against the plan and he expects to get 3000 signatures.Straessle says there are too many boats on the lake already, and the houseboats will only add more trouble.“There’s noise pollution.They’re ugly looking things, and they’ll have to have somewhere to tie up.” Straessle adds support the petition has received so far tells him the project will never survive.NO PLACE “It’s dead in the water,” says Stewart Hopps.Hopps is the Lake's environmental inspector.He says there’s no place for the houseboats to tie up, and there won't be one if he has his way.“Right now around this lake there’s no area zoned for it, either through the MRC or through the laws of the townships.” Hopps says that’s not likely to change.“In order to change a zoning law it has to go to a referendum, and you can see the way people are feeling here tonight.They’d never vote for it.” Russ McKinnon is undeterred.He welcomes the chance to meet people and hear their points of view.He says the Three Buoys project will start taking orders beginning in January.He’s looking for land to serve as an embarcation point in Magog and Newport.Vt.and expects to close a deal soon.And he says the fleet of 50 houseboats will be launched in May.BIG BOATS The boats measure 40 feet in length by 12” 6 .They sleep 10.Club rules allow for no personal stereos to be brought aboard so the calm and quiet on the lake will be maintained.Promoters say there's no chance sewage or grey water from the boats will get into the lake, because it’s all kept in hoi ding tanks and pumped out at tlu land base.The main concern — pollution noise and invasion of the privacy of the property owners already on the lake.McKinnon tells the detractors to trust him.“If we were bad on those points we'd be slitting our own throats.’ he says.And as the crow d grumbles out of the room he looks over to another company representative and won ders aloud: “Did I say something wrong?” Kiel: Some good guys can play bad guys By Philip Authier SHERBROOKE — Everyone knows there are good guys and there are bad guys in the glitter and glamor world of the movies.Only it seems it’s usually the good guys that take top billing over the rest of the cast.Roger Moore, for instance, makes a very popular super secret agent.But in recent 007 movies, one character has been competing for audience popularity.His name is Richard Kiel, he plays a character named Jaws and on Thursday all 300 pounds of the man came to Sherbrooke.Stooping to get in the door of a local video store where he was promoting the latest Clint Eastwood “drifter” movie, Pale Rider, Kiel is obviously not a character movie producers have to use trick photography to portray.REALLY BIG This man really is big.At7”2’,no one would argue with that fact (or with him for that matter).When he shakes your hand, it is as if he was a father grasping a new-born baby’s tiny palm.In Pale Rider, a movie which has grossed $50 million, he plays (what else) the bad guy.Today the movie is entering the video circuit.Before walking into the store to talk to the media and owners, Kiel, snappily dressed in a button-down shirt and tie, stops to shake hands with a small group of fans which have shown up to see the star.Language is a bit of a problem.The Detroit native speaks no French.There is a good deal of smiling and nodding.Inside, the store owners and video promoters do speak his language.The man takes his place and starts to answer questions.He says with a chuckle one reason he never dies on the screen — he has been in such adventurous films as Moonra-ker and The Spy Who Loved Me — is because his agent says it would be bad for business.A BUSINESSMAN And he is keenly interested in his business.It took 45-year-old Kiel a long time to establish his acting career.Along the way he has worked as a bouncer, cemetary lot salesman and door-to-door salesman.It is hard to imagine anyone not buying a Fuller brush from this guy His real break came when got a chance to appear on the classic TV spy series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., followed by parts on Gilligan’s Island and Daniel Boone.The James Bond films are what made him and Jaws something of a household name for 007 affectionatos.But aside from the work he has done as the perennial evil villain (he obliged the photographers by performing his head crusher move) there is another side to his character as well.Kiel says he enjoys being in films because they are not the same thing over and over again, as in theatrical work.His build and reputation can be somewhat restrictive, however.“Obviously I’m not going to be playing brain surgeons, or jockeys or gynecologists,” Kiel said.“There are certain restrictions but at the same time there are certain positive things about it too.” SOMETHING DIFFERENT One departure has been a family film, The Giant of Thunder Mountain, which will be released this February.He plays the giant.“It’s a different kind of thing,” he said.His size is sometimes helpful in his political career though.Kiel is a municipal councillor in California, where he makes his home.“Some things you can change, some things you can’t change,” he said.“You should look forward to the positive rather than the negative.” Kiel has enjoyed the villain’s role because he is able to “kick over the policeman’s motorcycles” Richard Kiel.Grandparents lived in Sherbrooke?and all that He does all but the most dangerous stunts in his films.Kiel, who believes his grandparents atone point may have lived in Sherbrooke, spent a total of two hours in the city, signing autographs and being as friendly as can be; sort of out of character for someone who portrays someone audiences love to hate.But then again, there are plenty of good guys and bad guys outside of movieland.And Kiel is really on the list of good guys.Police have no leads in Beebe holdup Caisse BEEBE (PA) —Two armed men who held up a Caisse Populaire here late Thursday afternoon managed to evade police roadblocks and are still at large.The thieves, both six-footers, wore black ski masks and jeans during the 5 p.m.robbery and made off with an unspecified amount of cash, a police spokesman said.Entering the bank, the pair yelled for everybody to lie down.There were five or six clients and employees in the Main Street outlet at the time, police said.It took them only minutes to clean out the tills before they sped off into the night in what police believe was a Dodge Aries.No shots were fired and police are not sure what kind of firearms the thieves were carrying.A roadblock was immediately set up but no one was arrested as a result of the search.LITTLE TO GO ON Quebec Police Force (QPF) spokesman René Côté said police have very little to go on in their bid to nab the daring duo.They are not even sure whether the car the robbers drove off in carried American or Canadian licence plates.The Beebe Caisse Populaire is only a few hundred feet from the Canada-U.S.bordet.The roadblock was called off at about 7:30 p.m.Although officials are not sure how much money the two got, Coté said, being this close to Christmas, it was probably a fair amount The investigation is being conducted by Det.Jacques Fillion of the Coaticook QPF and Det.Robert Lauzon of the Sherbrooke force.Massey-Vanier drug suspect is free on bail By John McCaghey SWEETSBURG WARD — “This bail hearing is taking on political overtones and it is my legal duty to decide whether or not the accused should be incarcerated or freed on conditions pending his trial,” an obviously annoyed Judge Gilles Theriault said in Youth Protection Court Thursday.Crown Attorney Henry Key-serlingk produced five juveniles who testified they had purchased hashish from an accused juvenile who may not be named during September and October of this year.They all described him as being known as a trafficker to the student population in the Davignon sector of Massey Vanier Regional High School.Each of the youngsters’ total purchases may have attained $75 as most said they bought cubes of hash at $5 per half gram or less and would not admit to more than three transactions.The maximum sale admitted was $10 for one gram.SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL The accused was handed an indefinite suspension by the school, on Oct.17, the day after some of the Crown witnesses were spotted smoking the hash within the sprawling building.Lawyer François Bourassa, who represented the accused, described the Crown witnesses as “typi- cal drug users.” One of the students said he recorded a tape of a telephone conversation with the accused after the accused had been suspended, to satisfy his conscious and to assure his foster parents he was telling the truth about his involvement with the alleged pusher.Keyserlingk attempted to prove through his examination of Massey-Vanier Davignon principal Jean Marie Duguay that the school did not have a formal policy of informing the police of any observed dealings by known traffickers within the student body.But Duguay said school authorities had not had any significant problems with the student body other than one case before the courts for at least seven or eight years.Remaining vague, he added that the bulk of trafficking problems come from “undesirables” in the perimeter of the school at lunch time.Keyserlingk rested his case with the six witnesses.Bourassa produced four witnesses who cannot be named as they could possible reveal the identity of the accused.GOOD REFERENCES A service station owner said the accused had worked part time for him for well over a year, was an excellent employee, punctual, polite, resourceful and the only worker who had provided him with first-class cash balances during his 20 years in the business.An uncle, who operates a foster home, said he would be glad to look after the accused should the judge decide to release him.The accused juvenile’s parents, both in their thirties, said their middle son had always been obedient.They said he had suffered since his suspension from school as he had not been allowed to leave the house other than in the presence of his parents with the exception of his working hours.Both said they were never aware he had ever consumed any drugs.Both said they had talked to Davignon authorities whom, they alleged, told them there would be no trouble if the accused admitted to the offences.He would have been transferred to another school outside their jurisdiction, the parents said.“The story the school authorities gave us wasn’t clear and we suggested they begin a police investigation as we wanted to know all the proof,” the father testified.JUSTICE UNTARNISHED “I don’t want to criticize anybody but the Crown has argued detention in the interest of public saf-tey,” Judge Theriault explained “The accused was arrested this morning (Thursday) and they could have arrested him much earlier.If I now order his detention that would tarnish the image of justice.” “The Crown did not invoke the first motive that he would not appear for trial when ordered,” the judge added.“As far as the second motive is concerned all legal proceedings could have been instituted ealier, including the demand for a bail hearing.” FREE FOR NOW Theriault freed the accused on conditions, pending the setting of his trial date Jan 9.Over and above the charge of possession with intent to traffic in illegal drugs, the 17-year-old is accused of possession with intent to traffic, obstructing justice, and inciting people to purgery.“He is still considered innocent until proven guilty and I repeat to the Crown that I am completely in agreement with his (lawyer Key-serlingk’s) views on drugs, especially in schools,” Theriault continued.“How often do I ask him why they are ruining their lives through the consumption of alcohol and drugs?Nonetheless the federal and provincial charters of rights and freedoms exist and since the youth lives in a stable environment and has no prior record he deserves to be free pending trial,” the judge concluded.Liquor delivery not available in Sherbrooke SHERBROOKE (LS) — The home delivery service set up two weeks ago by the Société des alcools de Québec (SAQ) will be no help to Townshippers trying to make it through the strike which has closed outlets throughout the province.The deliveries will only be made in areas in and close to Montreal and Quebec — areas clearly defined by advertisements placed in major dailies in those cities, director of public relations for the SAQ, Vic Lafond, explained.The way it works in the cities is that anyone who wants to order a case of Hqour (12 bottles of any kind) must fill out an order form and send it in with a certified cheque or money order.The liquor will be delivered to your door in three to seven days’ time.Delivery costs $4.58 for one case, $2.45 per case if you order more than one.For those affected, the SAQ has guaranteed delivery before Christmas if the order is received before Monday (Dec.16.).TALKED FOR MONTHS The SAQ has been talking about setting up this service for about seven months, said Lafond.“Unfortunately this service is not extended to the Eastern Towns- hips and Sherbrooke area,” said Lafond.“We have to start with a first step and see that this service is properly installed and organized." The SAQ started publicizing the service Dec.3 and has received “a few hundred” orders so far.“We’re very satisfied with the response,” said Lafond.“We feel it’s a very good response.” The delivery forms have been placed in major newspapers.Originally they were to be available in SAQ outlets, but the strike made this impossible.Lafond admitted the early success of the service is likely affected by the current strike, which makes it impossible to thoroughly assess its marketability.But he said it’s possible the service will become annual, or even be made available at other holiday times, because of the convenience.Although the benefit of the delivery service doesn’t touch Eastern Townshippers, Lafond said the latest word on the strike has given them some hope that outlets might be open again Monday morning.An agreement in principle was reached by negotiators early this morning, and it awaits the approval of the union members, said Lafond.Townships gets two seats at Bourassa cabinet table By Bobby Fisher SHERBROOKE — The first provincial Liberal cabinet in nine years has an Eastern Townships look to it as Premier Robert Bourassa pointed a finger at a young National Assembly veteran and a newcomer for key portfolios.Brome-Missisquoi MNA Pierre Paradis was named minister of labor, manpower and income security, while Monique Gagnon-Tremblay (St-François) got the status of women ministry, as the new Quebec premier made his official return to power Thursday.The only Eastern Townships minister in the last Parti Québécois government was former Sherbrooke MNA Raynald Fréchette, who held first the touchy revenue portfolio, then the dual responsibilities of justice and labor.Paradis, the veteran of the two new Townships ministers, takes over the post formerly held by Pauline Marois, runnerup in the PQ leadership campaign earlier this year, and a loser in the Dec.2 general election.Coincidentally, Paradis was runnerup to Bourassa at the Liberal leadership campaign two years ago.A SURPRISE?Gagnon-Trembley, who lost in a bid to unseat Réal Rancourt in St-François in 1981 but who soundly thumped the Huntingville farmer last week, replaces Louise Beaudoin, named to the post from outside the Assembly by then-premier Pierre Marc Johnson just before the election was called.For Gagnon-Tremblay the nomination came as a bit of a shock, although observers had labelled her cabinet material before Bourassa made the announcement.“For sure I am a bit surprised Pierre Paradis.Rising star from Brome-Missisquoi Monique Gagnon-Tremblay.‘For sure I’m a bit surprised' about the nomination, this being my first time in the government and in the National Assembly.” Gagnon-Tremblay said in an in terview from Quebec City folio wing Thursday’s events.“Of course I am happy that Mr Bourassa would have the confi dence and faith to give me an ini portant dossier such as this one If the choice was a surprise to the new St-François MNA, it came as little to some people in Quebec City.The Ascot Corner notary was president of the Libe rals’ status of women committee prior to the election and has been heavily involved with women’s rights groups in the past.“She was a logical choice for the job,” said a Liberal party in sider.Gagnon-Tremblay said her first priorities will be “meeting with the presidents of the wo men’s groups in the province” to find out what their demands are and to “look into taking care of the promises that were made du ring the election campaign.” PENCILED IN As for Paradis, one of the par ty’s rising stars since he lost to Bourassa in the leadership cam paign, a cabinet job was penciled in well before the start of the campaign.The flamboyant 35-year-old la wyer was elected to the Brome Missisquoi seat in a 1980 by elec tion and became his party's so cial affairs critic Paradis is well known for his flair for debate in the National Assembly and is seen by many inside the party as a likely successor to Bourassa as Liberal leader.Busy with his new colleagues, the normally easily-accessible Paradis could not be reached for comment Thursday.VISA ClNfRA 3RD AND ÎA5T WEEK ¦ Cinémas CARREFOUR Sherbrooke

‘A’ Tis the season to be handing out report cards so let’s give Premier Robert Bourassa high marks for his first day as a reborn premier.Thursday Bourassa released the names of his cabinet ministers and gave his predecessor an invisible slap in the face.Among the cabinet list are four anglophones and four women, both areas where Quebec has been under-represented in the past, the former glaringly.The anglophones are: Herbert Marx (D’Arcy McGee), minister of justice, responsible for consumer protection and deregulation; Richard French (Westmount), communications minister; John Ciaccia (Mount Royal), minister of energy and resources ; and Clifford Lincoln (Nelligan), environment minister.The women are : Lise Bacon (Chomedy), deputy premier and minister of cultural affairs; Thérèse La voie-Roux(L’Acadie), minister of health and social services, responsible for family policy; Louise Robic (Bourassa), minister for cultural communities and immigration; and Monique Gagnon-Tremblay (St-François), minister responsible for the status of women.The Gagnon-Tremblay choice was a particularly interesting one because it killed two birds with one stone, to use an old saying loosely.First, it put a highly-qualified person in an area where she has had a great deal of experience.The Ascot Corner notary is president of the Liberal party’s status of women committee and is a diligent worker.She brings style and a nose-to-the-grindstone approach to her new job.Second, it put two Eastern Townshippers in the cabinet, something Liberal insiders had been promising — off the record — throughout the election campaign.The other Townships minister is Pierre Paradis (Brome-Missisquoi), an aggressive young man who doesn’t mind raking muck if there’s muck to be raked.In addition to the four anglophones in the Bourassa cabinet, are several francophones — Paradis included — who spoke out strongly du-ring the campaign in favor of English-language rights.Most notable among them are Pierre MacDonald (Robert Baldwin), in foreign trade and technological development; Michel Gratton (Gatineau), revenue, house leader and electoral reform ; and André Vallerand (Cremazie), in small business.And in another development which puts a strong anglophone presence in the government, Bourassa named Reed Scowen (Notre-Dame-de-Grace) as his parliamentary secretary and senior assistant.Scowen is expected to be especially influential in economic policy.And not being railroaded into what would be an antagonistic position, the new premier went against what Pierre Marc Johnson wanted in the case of New Brunswick’s status at the upcoming international francophone summit by saying there is plenty of room for the mariti-mers.That, along with the cabinet choices, shows that Bourassa is, to use another old saying, putting his money where his mouth is.Give him an ‘A’ and hope the marks stay hlgh BOBBY FISHER Bruce Levêtt “Eat Cheese or Die” will NOT be the slogan on Wisconsin’s new car licence plates.That state, whose plates have read “America’s Dairy land” since 1979, is conducting a contest for a new motto because, says Gov.Anthony Ear!, the present one is “boring.” And who was it sent in the "Eat Cheese” entry — immediately rejected by the judges?The Gov himself, that’s who.You find the darndest things on the old Odds Bodkin, that gnarled old filing spike where rest the snippets which might — on other days — have provided columnar cannon fodder.From Lowell, Ind., comes the intelligence that state police just do not believe the contention by local police that James Cooley’s death was a suicide.Cooley, 52, was found in his photographic darkroom.He had been slugged 32 times with a hammer.“No human way,” the coroner ruled.He probably would have passed out after about 10 blows, he said.Bit macabre for the season?Okay — how about this item from San Francisco?For $50 a year, you can adopt a grey whale You pick your pet from about 1,000 photographs — individual whales may be identified from scars or pigmentation of the fluke.You get adoption papers, pictures, history of the whale in question, and records of sightings.Also, you get to name him or her — think of the possibilities.Maastricht (that’s in The Netherlands) checks in with the results of a study indicating that skiers who drink alcoholic beverages are less likely to get injured than are their teetotaling counterparts.Now, it might seem odd that a ski study should be conducted in Holland — a land that has had its ups and downs throughout history, to be sure, but a country not exactly renowned for its slopes.Nevertheless, the Dutch information is that the less sleep a skier gets the better; skiers with university educations are less prone (forgive me) to injury than their lesser-educated fellows, and that skiers who cavort in expensive outfits are at greater risk than those who do not.You realize what all this signifies, do you not?No?Neither do I, frarfkly.Ottawa advises that Czechoslovakia and East Germany — having enjoyed a bumper crop, apparently — are dumping their surplus hockey pucks in Canada.“Dumping” is what tax officials cry when one country tries to sell a product in another country at a price less than that which prevails at the point of origin.But hockey pucks?Is nothing sacred?And finally, something new in software has come up.It’s called Chuckle Pops.If you have the proper equipment, you may — at the stroke of a finger — suspend that boring stuff you’re working on and have your terminal disgorge a few moments of jokes before getting back to business Free trade talks don’t cause much stir in U.S.NEW YORK (CP) — The American public seems hardly to have noticed this week when President Ronald Reagan set the clock ticking towards free trade negotiations with Canada.But the special interest groups are already lining up on both sides of the issue.Reagan’s notification of the proposed talks to the U.S.Congress went almost without comment Tuesday amid Washington’s pre Christmas flurry of budget and tax bills.And 60 working days from now — some time in early spring — the talks will begin unless one of the two houses of Congress object.But while free trade with Canada has roused little public interest, increasing attention is being focused on individual complaints by American interests doing business in, or in competition with, Canada.Only politicians from lumber states have so far threatened to try to block the talks.But other groups with a stake in Canadian trade and investment — from pharmaceutical companies to book publishers and energy and textile groups — are making their positions known.LOBBYISTS LINE UP “My sense is that the so-called lobbyists are positioning themselves early on to represent vested interests — whether they be the textile interests, fishery interests, hydroelectri- Larry Black city or whatever,” says Brian Rose, a New York-based lawyer with the Montreal firm Stikeman Elliott.“Behind the scenes, positions are being taken,” he says.“In Canada, I don’t have the sense that it’s happening quite so quickly.” But in the United States, another observer warns, “all the manufacturing groups and all the labor groups and all agricultural groups — to say nothing of industries like pharmaceuticals and steel — are going to be ready.” While Reagan’s letter Tuesday to the two congressional committees urges the politicians not to hold the talks hostage to current disputes, the president is reported to have brought up three particular beefs in a telephone conversation the same day with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.One — lumber — is a long-standing public dispute which has become the object of protectionist legislation in the U.S.Congress.But two others — Canada’s royalty payments to multinational drug companies, and its policy on the foreign ownership of book publishing — are special-interest issues, backed by powerful lobbies which are trying hard to translate them into trade-offs at the upcoming talks.For example, Ottawa’s attempts to bring Prentice Hall’s Canadian division under Canadian control — the crux of the book publishing dispute — has brought down the wrath of the company’s new U.S.owners, the Gulf and Western conglomerate, and its influential lobbyist Robert Straus, a former U.S.trade representative and chairman of the U.S.Democratic party.Allan Gotlieb, Canada’s ambassador to Washington, has counselled Ottawa to back down on the issue, warning that Straus’s threats to retaliate with a “scorched earth” policy against Canada will discredit the country’s negotiating position.And following Reagan’s mention of the Prentice Hall issue Tuesday, Leonard Silk, a New York Times business columnist, raised the issue, complai-ning it was “a form of neoprotectionism.” BECOMES CONTROVERSIAL’ “Such neo-protectionism is likely to be a subject of controversy in the bila teral negotiations with Canada that President Reagan .is now prepared to begin,” Silk warned in a column published Wednesday.Rose warns that an issue such as Prentice Hall, which he describes as “one very small isolated investment,” is adversely affecting the perceptions of the foreign business community towards Canada.“Many people in the United States, particularly in the U.S.Congress, are concerned that Canada’s interest in free trade is really based on a desire to obtain an umbrella shield against protectionist legislation in the United States,” he says.“And they question the Canadian government’s motives.” With Canadian trade unlikely to ever spark national interest in the United States, the focus of the negotiations may well be dominated by these and other individual business concerns, others warn.And with review by two congressional committees, the U.S.Trade Representative’s Office and the U.S.International Trade Commission and Congress itself, the potential for delay and obstruction in adopting an agreement are endless, they note.“Everybody with a vested interest is going to be there,” warns one lawyer.Letters Invite friend and stranger Editor: Winter quietness reigns in George-ville just now.New snow

1985—7 —_______ttei uecora Why some do want to stay down on the farm There’s a young buck deer _ licking his wounds so- Farms, furrows mewhere in the woods .around Ulverton.But there's fOatiierS also a woman in Richmond whose nerves are shattered By Claudia Villemaire once and for all.Here’s the story.It seems this workaholic couple, who shall go unnamed, decided it was time for an outing.The vehicle to be used for the excursion?A vintage Cadillac which, while motor perfect, left a good deal to be desired overall.Her husband, a mechanic by trade, had managed to get it home, backed into a corner of the garage and after many hours and days of welding, sanding, priming and painting was able to present the ‘joy’ of his life, THE car.“Now,” he said.“This car is just like new.It has a double frame guaranteed to weather most anything short of being hit by a train.The interior is plush velvet, foam padded and I don’t think we have a chair in the house to match its comfort.The motor purrs like a kitten and this chariot is wearing the best tires that can be purchased.Now, my dear, I should like to take you for a spin in this majestic coach, and right this minute.” Well, let me tell you, the woman of the house, or I mean âepanneur and auto body repair shop’ made up her mind instantly.After all, they hadn’t had one minute’s holiday in six years and now her man was making an offer she couldn’t refuse.So, despite her apprehensions about riding in cars, off came the carpenter’s apron, (handy for tips and nails), on went the coat, and just last Friday evening the lovers headed down the old Richmond-Drummondville highway.It was a heady experience.“I finally seemed to have conquered my fear,” she told me later between trembles.“The car was so comfortable, and my husband drove slowly and very, very carefully, knowing he would never get me into it again if anything scared me too badly.” But alas, what began so well suddenly ended.“There we were just leaving Ulverton.Suddenly what looked to me like a giant deer jumped right out in front of us.Of course, my husband slammed on the brakes, jolting me against the seatbelt and knocking my new feeling of security right out the window.“We stopped the car, and trying to calm me down, this good man pointed to the deer gracefully leaping the fence, white flag held aloft and seemingly floating across a field on the other side of the road.“Just when I was catching my breath and daring to appreciate the beauty of this animal, there was a terrific thump on my door and the car rocked as though we were having an earthquake.” By this time, the woman herself was shaking like a leaf in the wind just remembering.“Screaming, I wildly looked out my window.But there was nothing to see, or so I thought.Look again, I told myself, it’s not that dark out.And sure enough, there was another deer, sort of struggling with the car door handle where he was slightly stuck.A split second later, he hobbled off into the brush, taking the handle with him and leaving this regal chariot with a badly dented door and a patch of deer skin for a souvenir.” Now there are two endings to this story.The first is that after searching the area thoroughly, game wardens could find no sign of the injured deer.So they assume, he is recuperating and not too badly wounded.The second ending is that there is an expertly rebuilt Cadillac for sale in the Richmond area.But it has no door handle and the passenger door is pretty badly bent.The woman in question is back behind her counter, slowly getting back into her daily routine, and already plans for expansion to the accommodation are underway.Guess her idea of a holiday is building shelves, not being run into by deer out for their evening stroll.There have been many deer sighted in this area this year, and the story is true.Perhaps motorists could be ext ’a careful as they drive through Ulverton.Seeing these animals is a winter bonus Mother Nature offers to the careful driver.Hitting one can be a painful and costly experience.Veteran’s hospital has new director Jacques Coulombe, Assistant Deputy Minister, Veterans Services has appointed Serge Rainville as Executive Director of Ste.Anne’s Hospital.He replaces Maurice Cadoret who has recently resigned.Ste.Anne’s Hospital is located at Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, on the outskirts of Montreal.It has a capacity of 1,100 beds, all devoted to the care of war veterans and is operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs.Rainville had been Assistant Serge Rainville is new director Executive Director between I9su and 1984.Early this year he served as Regional Director General for the Department in the Quebec Region.He has been acting in his current position since September.Before entering the Public Service, Mr.Rainville worked with the Bank of Montreal for five years and the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal for eight years.Business brief MONTREAL (CP) — CAE Electronics Ltd.of Montreal has been chosen by the Royal Netherlands Navy to develop and build a full mission flight trainer for the Westland Sea Lynx helicopter, it was an- nounced Wednesday.The trainer will made up of a full flight simulator and two sonar system simulators.Total value of the order is approximately $13 million.Union i The Cowansville Union Carbide plant is here to stay, say company executives who visited recently.They also took time out to present plaques to the personnel for the division’s exceptional safety record.Here, (left to right) plant manager her Ahmadklan, Fred Tanner, mayor of Cowansville, Urbain Raymond, plant safety manager, and W.N.Kissick, corporate president, participate in the ceremony.Carbide is here to stay Continued from page 1 without C.P.Rail if necessary.“We won’t guarantee no change in our product line," Kissick added, “because we re always changing our product line to suit the demands of the marketplace.But we don’t anticipate ever shutting this plant down in the foreseeable future.This is one of our most productive plants,” supplying plastic sheeting to much of Quebec, parts of the U.S., Ontario and the Maritimes.Kissick was in Cowansville to present a plaque to plant safety supervisor Urbain Raymond, on behalf of all 104 employees.The Cowansville plant has just completed three years without a lost-time on-the-job accident - a record almost unparalleled in the Eastern Townships among industrial employers of similar size.But the plant record is nine years without an accident, still a long way off.“Exceptional workplace safety is a big part of our productivity here,” Kissick acknowledged.He praised the Cowansville workforce for maintaining a good attendance record, as well.“Of course there are some areas where we do see room for some improvements, in terms of equipment.” The plant will be 20 years old in 1986.Many sections have already been overhauled or replaced, but a few still use original equipment.The Cowansville presentation ceremony came as Union Carbide executives all over the world were making vigorous efforts to boost the corporate image.Almost exactly one year ago, the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India leaked methyl isocyanate, killing anywhere from 1,800 to 7,500 people, depending upon whether one accepts corporate, governmental, or media estimates.Similar leaks that didn’t kill large numbers have occurred at Union Carbide plants in Beziers, France, 1977 ; Taft, Lousiana, 1983; and Institute, West Virginia earlier this year.Union Carbide also operates American plants that reprocess plutonium from nuclear reactors to make H-bombs.But Union Carbide Canada doesn’t handle methyl isocyanate, doesn’t make nukes, and “has a very good occupational and environmental safety record throughout our organization,” Kissick claimed.“We’re had an exceptionally good year this year,” he went on.“We stress accident prevention outside the plant as well as inside, because even if an employee isn’t injured on the job, an injury still hurts just as much and our productivity is affected by the loss of his ’ll J*;: I ANNUITIES ALL types of annuities explained.Computer Market Survey showing top 10

maybe our campaign has something to do with it.” Kissick also described corporate efforts to preserve a major breeding colony of Rocky Mountain bluebirds.One of Union Carbide’s plants in Alberta was built on former farmland “where the farmer had devoted his life to protecting and encouraging the Rocky Mountain bluebird.” Union Carbide made sure the bluebird nesting ground was in the broad buffer zone surrounding most new plants.“We were a bit worried about the noise of construction, because we were afraid that the bluebirds would leave their homes and not find new ones nearby,” Kissick said.“But we had about 2,000 bluebirds in the area then, and 5,000 now.I don’t know how big an area the count includes,” he admitted, “whether it’s the township or the county or what.“I’m finding out now what it’s like to be on the other side of the fence where environmental pro- tection is concerned,” Kissick added, “because a few years ago I bought a small farm in southern Ontario and now a gas company wants to build a liquified propane plant only three miles away.” The Kissick farm is actually only part of a farm, no longer in production “35 acres, only 20 of which are areable.Those are leased to a local farmer.The rest is woods and rocks, which I enjoy.” Restaurant nutniien Lftnuau Presents their ITALIAN BUFFET Noon $4.95 b Supper $6.95 r P/us 8 different Try our R different table

took you right to life And ground it out In a few minutes of drunken speed.So tragic that the innocent pay For the errors of the guilty I ask myself, why?When you had not finished living.That you

When it comes time for those boxes to be auctioned-off, those anonymous boxes had been on display for appraisal — unlimited imaginations had been at work to present these sixteen offerings of varying shape, colours and inviting artwork.As at the first one, the evening began with a welcome by the Rev.Judith Perry, an explanation of the purpose of the fund raising event .¦ by Donald Oliver, and the direction of master of ceremonies, Arthur Aiken, as he asked those who volunteered or been invited to participate in the evening’s entertainment to come forward and perform.During the evening music and song were presented by Clem Hall, Clinton Davis, Alec Soucie, Victor and Alice Magoon, Edith McLean, Doug Wighton and Juanita, Aylmer and Harvey Morse, Garth Peasley, Marion Gardner, Danny Soucie, with instrumentation on guitar, mouth organ (harmonica), violin, spoons, trumpet and piano and several rendering talents by singing and whistling.The applause, loud and long, indicated enthusiastic appreciation.By 9:30 p.m.those colorful and tempting boxes had been examined by everyone, some at close range, some from afar; appetites were beginning to sharpen, so Arthur Aiken donned his auctioneer role and bidding was encouraged.It was a sad fact that there were more pretty boxes than male bidders.However, the bidding was over after much friendly rivalry and persuasion.The ladies moved forward to claim their respective boxes and lunch partner.Those who had not won a box were accommodated from a bountiful table of refreshments with choice of tea, coffee or fruit punch, at a relatively reasonable price.Proceeds did not match those of the first Box Social, but the party was considered every bit as much a success.It was not long before the music began again.This time with a combined effort emerging with most of the musicians gathered around the piano.With the strains of waltzes, fox trots, polkas and two-steps in the air, toe-tapping began, leading to couples, shyly at first, experimenting with almost forgotten dance steps.At one point the chairs were well pushed back and a dozen couples swung to the lively music.It was nearly midnight when the musicmakers were allowed to put away their instru- ments.A Box Social, a fun-filled evening with dancing, volunteered music, local talents, plenty to eat, (not one drop of hard liquor), yet a hilarious time with socializing as sa bonus, all combined in a serious fundraising event for a worthy cause.From many lips came the inquiry.“When will there be another one?” The Vale Perkins United Church executive voice their sincere appreciation to ail who contributed in any way to make this second event such a success.Recent visitors of the Lawrence Allans were Mrs Leonard Guy and Mr.and Mrs Keith Allan, all of Birchton.Mrs.Guy was an overnight guest while the Allans continued on to Quebec City to be a guest of Miss M.MacLean.Mr.and Mrs.Eric Allan and girls have returned from Toronto where they attended the Royal Winter Fair.Here is the latest information on the Eastern Townships Tartan.The new shipment should be available on or before March 1,1986.It will be obtainable from Miss Sheila Allan.Watch the Maple Hill news for further developments.RESTAURANT Les Jardins Des Trois Frère Brochettes Souvlaki Smoked Meat Pizza Sea Food Receptions Welcome Fully (copodty 150 persons) Licenced open daily 11 a.m.to 5 a.m.You may bring your own wine 38 Wellington St.South reservations 563-1133 1 your Christmas J’lomer Meeds |jjj the Beautiful QVay 1 LE PALAIS des FLEURS ENR.r4*;,:Æ gou Reason’s!
