Initially optimistic that Bedford would be one of the two boards singled out for direct grants, Bissell acknowledged that "as w-e left, I had the sinking feeling that probably we were not.” NEARLY I

from the Soviet nuclear accident was found in rainwater falling in Ottawa earlier this week that exceeds by six times federal standards for radiation levels in drinking water, a senior federal official said Thursday.As a result, the government is warning Canadians not to drink rainwater.The advisory applies across the country, even though Ottawa is the only location where radiation in the rain has so far been detected.As well, airborne radiation has are high.Epp said there is “absolu- been detected in Western Canada and in Toronto and Ottawa, although in minute amounts that Dorothy Meyerhof, an official with the radiation protection bureau of the federal Health Department, said were only of “scientific curiosity.” The levels of Iodine-131 are more than 10,000 times the normal radiation levels found in water in the Great Lakes, she said.“All of us were hoping that we Canadians would not be affected by the fallout from Chernobyl,” Health Minister Jake Epp told reporters in a telephone interview from Geneva wrhere he is attending a meeting of the World Health Organization.Although the rainwater levels Thousands still battle reactor fire MOSCOW (Reuter) —Thousands of Soviet emergency workers battled to contain the Chernobyl nuclear accident on Thursday as droves of Kiev residents fearing radiation sought to leave the Ukrainian capital by plane, train, bus and car.The Communist Party newspaper Pravda confirmed that thousands are fighting the disaster and said “regrettably the struggle .is not finished.” A senior Western diplomat said, “They have a hell of a problem still.” However, Unrainian Prime Minister Alexander Lyashko said Thursday the burning at the reactor has almost stopped.“The temperature of the reactor has gone down to 300 degrees centigrade,” he said.“This means that the burning has practically stopped.The radiation is stable with the tendency downwards.” The Western diplomat said 30,000 people from the town of Chernobyl, about 20 kilometres from the stricken power plant, were not evacuated until two top Soviet officials visited the urea May 2 — nearly a week after the accident.The authorities said about 40,000 people were evacuated from Pri-pyat.next to the power station, and three other towns 36 hours after the accident on April 26, and that the delay was due to underestimating the scope of the disaster.tely no danger to people taking a bath in rainwater or children playing in the rain.” RISK SLIGHT Someone drinking the contaminated rain for a lifetime would increase the risk of cancer by only one in one million, he said.The nuclear rain turned up in testing in Ottawa over a 24-hour period ending at 10 a.m.Wednesday.Radioactive iodine-131 was present in a concentration of 60 becquerels per litre.The drinking water standard is 10 becquerels per litre.A becquerel is a measure of how radioactive a substance is.Meyerhof said the normal background level of radiation in the Great Lakes for Cesium-137, another element associated with nuclear accidents and nuclear weapons tests, is 110,000th of a becquerel.Radioactive iodine is not found in background levels except after an accident or an atmospheric weapons test because it lasts only a matter of weeks.Half of it decays away every eight days.It is considered a health hazard because it is taken up by the thyroid gland, which cannot distinguish between normal iodine and its radioactive cousin.However, Epp said there is no need for Canadians to take iodine pills to block the uptake by the thyroid.The airborne radiation in Western Canada was measured May 6.The test was run on filters from monitoring stations in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Hay River in the Northwest Territories, Regina, Saskatoon and Whitehorse.In that combined sample, Iodine-131 was present in an amount measuring 0.0004 becquerels per cubic metre of air, or four divided by 10,000.However, Meyerhof said that the way the test is done it is impossible to say how precise the number actually is and whether the iodine was present in all the locations, or only one.In air monitoring May 7, the department measured Iodine-131 in Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg in average concentrations of about 0.02 becquerels per cubic metre.That is about 20 times greater than the normal background level of 0.001 becquerels per cubic metre.Again, the samples from all three cities were combined so it is impossible to say whether the iodine showed up in all three locations or only one.“That’s just 20 times a little wee number," Meyerhof said, and is in no way considered a health hazard.16,000

Japanese-Canadians lost $443 million worth of income and property when they were interned by the Canadian government during the Second World War, says a report released Thursday by the National Association of Japanese-Canadians.The report, prepared by the accounting firm of Price Water-house, said about 20,000 Japanese Canadians lost $333 million in income and $110 million in property when their homes, businesses and personal belon- gings were confiscated between 1941 and 1949.The figures were calculated to equal 1986 values.Association president Art Mi-ki told a news conference that although the figures won’t form the basis for a settlement with the government, they will help the group in its ongoing battle for compensation.“The top figure is certainly not the area we are aiming for, but we feel there should be something in between," he said.Miki said the group will decide on a compensation figure at a meeting in Winnipeg next week and hopes to use the report to reopen settlement negotiations with the government.The government is reported to be considering new options to resolve the compensation issue, including a possible $10-million fund that would be administered by the Japanese-Canadian community and used to settle individual claims.Almost 12,(MK) of those interned during the war, most of them Canadian-born, are still alive.EDMONTON — Don Getty and his Progressive Conservatives rolled to an easy Alberta election victory Thursday night but felt the sting of disgruntled voters in nor them rural ridings and in parts of Edmonton, where the New Democrats showed surprising strength in early returns.Getty won re-election in his Edmonton Whitemud riding and NDP Leader Ray Martin was returned at Edmonton Norwood, the seat the former high-school counsellor stole from the Conservatives by 75 votes in 1982.Conservative votes piled up across the southern Alberta and Calgary as voters handed Getty, 52, the broad-shouldered former quarterback turned oil executive, his first personal mandate as party leader.Representative Leader Ray Speaker, a 23-year legislative veteran, surged to an early lead in his Little Bow riding in southern farm country but Liberal Leader Nick Taylor, fell behind in his fifth and possibly last election bid in Wes-tlock Sturgeon The New Democrats were ma king their strongest showing in their history, threatening to turf both rookie Conservative candidates and respected veteran cabinet ministers alike in several Ed monton ridings.New Democrat candidates struck paydirt in a disgruntled electorate worried about disappearing jobs and the actions of a gover-nment which had ben virtually without opposition for the last decade.“When a fifth of the population in a constituency isn’t meaningfully employed, they're wondering why," said Tom Sigurdson, New Democratic candidate in Edmonton Belmont.Getty and Martin fought their first campaign as party leaders.Getty, a former football quarterback and premier since last Nov.1, inherited from the retired Peter Lougheed a political machine which had already racked up four consecutive victories starting in 1971. 2—The RECORD—Friday.May 9.1986 Discourteous atmosphere prevails in the Commons Capital Notebook By Vic Parsons The Canadian Press OTTAWA (CP)—The appeal by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney for “civility” when he first entered the House of Commons in 1983 has long since gurgled down the drain, but discourtesy seemed to peak this week.There are plenty of examples scattered throughout the week’s parliamentary record, culminating in the scarcely believeable spectacle of Liberal MPSheila Copps leaping over furniture af- ^SSi^^SS^SSSi^SSSS ter her quarry, Industry Minis-terSinclair Stevens, and Small Business Minister Andre Bissonnette accused of hockey-rink tactics with another Liberal, John Nunziata, outside a committee meeting.That wild scene occurred as Liberals tried to question Stevens about a controversial $2.6-million loan obtained by his wife.Another example of the current atmosphere is the exchange between some Quebec Liberals and Maurice Tremblay, the Tory MP from Lotbinière, Que., who was fined $500 in March and put on probation for socking his riding association president during a dispute and breaking his nose.“You should be as aggressive in the House of Commons as you were with your association president,” said Liberal Alain Tardif of Rich-mond-Wolfe riding, twitting Trem blay about the failure of his promise to bring a $12-million federal laboratory to his district.“Dirty mouth! Brush your moustache and learn to articulate,” Tremblay interjected.Tardif responded that because of the distance of his seat from Tremblay he felt secure.“He could not reach me with his fist.But I realize that if I were closer, he might probably blow his top as he did once before.” The efforts of Pat Nowlan, the veteran Tory from Annapolis Valley-Hants, to have Nova Scotia designated as the official name of his province in both languages, seems doomed to failure.Nowlan doesn’t seem to have even enlisted the backing of western Tories who might, on the basis of past performance in bilingual matters, have been expected to be sympathetic.Nowlan’s point was that “Nova Scotia”, being Latin and not English, should be an acceptable title for francophones as well as En-glish-speakers.Trouble is, Nouvelle Ecosse, French for New Scotland, has been solidly enshrined in French as far back as 1713 when the Treaty of Utrecht was signed giving Britain title to the area which later became the Canadian province.“It would seem to me that several centuries of use give legitimacy to the words ‘Nouvelle Ecosse’.” saidDon Ravis, the Saskatoon East Tory.And Gordon Towers, MP for Alberta's Red Deer riding, said: “Surely francophones would prefer a title which is clearly French and which has been so through the centuries.” But was it all merely a plot to boost solidarity in the Tory ranks?Claude Lanthier, parliamentary secretary to Science Minister Frank Oberle, was moved during the debate to rise and say he was proud of his English-speaking colleagues who defended “so vigorously the French appellation Nouvelle Ecosse.” “This is an historic moment, not only in the House of Commons but in the Progressive Conservative party which was once renowned as an English-speaking party.Today, we ha ve direct proof to the contrary.’ ’ A Senate debate on a bill to ban smoking in some work areas and on certain modes of transport was meandering on this week, and Senator-John Godfrey left no doubt where he stands on the issue.Godfrey noted that last Sunday was the 29th anniversary of the day that he gave up smoking, and before that he was a three-pack-a-day man.He told the senators that when he was on the weed he didn’t resent being told not to smoke on public transit, but that if he was out of cigarettes while riding in a friend’s car, he would nearly go crazy.All of which was a leadup to a blast against Imasco Ltd., the corporate giant whose holdings include tobacco interests and which recently declared that its employees should avoid bookings when possible on Air Canada.The airline had announced there would be no smoking permitted on short-haul flights among Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.“In all logic,” said Godfrey, “if Imasco intends to advise their employees not to fly Air Canada, they should also advise them not to go to church, because services usually last for more than an hour.” The Soviet embassy showed with brutal directness this week that it is taking seriously Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign to reduce booze consumption by Russian citizens.At a reception for Soviet Press Day the only alcohol in evidence was red and white wine, and the white was soon exhausted as Canadian guests clearly opted for the light stuff.That left only the none-too-popular red, assorted juices and that specialty of our neighbor to the south — Coca Cola.Two Senate security guards received a welcome surprise recently when all the necessary paperwork for a trip to Mexico, including airfare, accommodation and food, appeared unexpectedly.The duo, Ray Pitre and BobGauvreau, came to the aid of a Mexican family late one chilly December night.The family was locked out of their car and the key to the vehicle was in the trunk.The guards invited the family into the Centre Block so they could warm themselves and gave them coffee.Then they went out, found a locksmith and got into the car.The family was grateful, but the guards never suspected how grateful.It seems they had come to the rescue of one of Mexico’s travel agents, who has rewarded them and their wives with the trip.—____frgf IFBCPm George MacLaren, Publisher.569-9511 Charles

director-general of the Iberville School Board, there can be no investigation into the possibility of sharing a school building with the District of Bedford's beleaguered Clarenceville Elementary School until a direct overture is made by the District of Bedford Protestant Regional School Board.At present, the Bedford School Board foresees having to close the Clarenceville Elementary School in 1987 due to severe budget cuts imposed by the Quebec Ministry of Education.Although at a May 1 information meeting in Clarenceville, Bedford director-general Jim Bissell stated that his Iberville board counterpart had been approached and had expressed no interest in school sharing, Leduc claimed to have received no communication whatever regarding such a venture.“Before we can consider any proposal to share a school, we must first receive word from the District of Bedford about its intentions,” said Leduc in an interview Wednesday.“Secondly, those boards and the parents would have to examine the ways in which the project could be implemented.” POSSIBILITY INTERESTING Leduc indicated that the Catholic school in Clarenceville is now underpopulated and that his board would be interested in the possibil-ty of setting up a bilingual school in Clarenceville under a single director — a solution which he believes could benefit both groups.Fran Wynnik, the Clarenceville representative on the Bedford board's parents’ committee, said that although a number of English-speaking parents would prefer to keep the Clarenceville Elementary School open, there is no question that the same parents would prefer to share a school with the Catholic board over sending their children to Bedford, as is now being proposed.“A letter was sent to the Bedford Regional School Board prior to the May 1 meeting which stressed that our priority was to keep a school operating in Clarenceville to serve our children,” Winnik stated.“I would personally like to see my children attending a bilingual school in ClarenceviUe,” said Winnik.“I think that they would be better off learning both languages.” FOURTH TIME IN SIX YEARS In a Wednesday interview.Win-nick claimed that Clarenceville is facing its fourth educational crisis in six years.Last year, fearing that their school might be closed, Clarenceville parents initiated a move to withdraw from the Bedford board and join the larger South Shore Protestant Regional School Board.In a referendum held by the Ministry of Education, residents voted closely to remain with the District of Bedford on the board’s assu- rance that the Clarenceville school would not be closed.This year, Clarenceville parents protested a $12 student levy initiated by the Bedford board since, said Winnik, “We were told that it wouldn’t cost us a cent to keep the school open.It wasn’t just the money — it was the principle.” “Because we have a high incidence of students needing special education and many families who are on welfare, there is a tendency to write off this community,” Winnik said.“But the people here are very loyal to each other.” Clarenceville residents plan to begin a letter campaign to the Bedford board, the Ministry of Education and the local MNA and will meet next Tuesday to discuss further action.New school in Bromont discussed Continued from page 1 with Bissell to discuss the proposed new Bromont school.The proposed school might serve close to 1,000 students, about half of them from the Davignon board, the rest from the District of Bedford.Bissell has suggested that the 275 Parkview Elementary students from Granby and the 199 Waterloo Elementary students might be bussed into Bromont.They would share the space with the 225 students at the Davi- gnon board’s existing Bromont school, plus at least 100 students from the Davignon board’s school at Adamsville.The Adamsville school probably would not be closed, according to Davignon secretary-general Georges Lisette, since it also serves a considerable portion of Brigham and St-Alphonse de Granby, to the west of Bromont.But both Adamsville and the present Bromont school are badly over- crowded, with three temporary classrooms apiece taking up playground space.“This was the first time we had any discussion with the ministry about a new school in Bromont,” Bissell claimed.“A deputy minister— Rousseau, I believe — will be coming down here soon to look at the various schools involved and report back to Quebec.” Presently, Bissell says, all school building funds are frozen, throughout the province.Thinning, fertilization advised for maples Continued from page 1 Another $150,000 will be spent to continue a two-year old aerial survey charting the geographic extent of the blight in the province and $250,000 for a study by the Quebec energy and resource department on “the impact of environmental stress on the dynamics and productivity of forestry ecosystems.” Earlier this week federal Forestry Minister Gerald Merrithew kicked in an unspecified amount of money from Ottawa to support connected research projects by the Canadian Forestry Service.The government hopes the research will start to show results within two years.DIEBACK’ PROBLEM Scientists both in and out of government say the combined effects of acid rain, ozone and certain other airborne pollutants are almost certainly the cause of the ‘dieback’ affecting more than 215,000 hectares of Quebec’s hardwood forests.A report by researcher Denis Lachance of the Canadian Forest Service outlines preliminary moves concerned landowners can take to protect their maples.Owners of maple bushes can stem the damage by thinning them only “very gradually” to remove dead trees without opening up the forest canopy, Lachance said.Too much light in the forest allows the pollutants easier access to the soil and accelerates the deadly work of excess ozone, a type of oxygen.It is important to “avoid making big holes in the forest cover,” he said.Trees only slightly affected by the blight should be left standing, he added.n'COMPANION’ TREES A second precaution woodlot owners should take is to avoid removing other species of tree which grow alongside the maples.Forests where maples grow in association with other “companion” trees seem to suffer less from the pollution as well.But those are merely holding actions, delaying the trees’ deaths % Arch Jones.Saving maples 'now or never'.but not preventing the spread of disease once they are weakened.Until the various forms of air pollution are permanently reduced to a reasonable level, they say, the trees will have to be fertilized — something never done on a large scale in North America, although it is now a common practice in parts of Europe.The researchers say the costly business of adding chemical fertilizers to the forest soils will have to wait two or three years while they develop suitable combinations.NOW OR NEVER’ Professor A.R.C.Arch’ Jones of Macdonald College is a long-time expert on forest health.He said in an interview that saving the maples is a “now or never” proposition.Many trees are already “at a state where they won’t recover.” Some maple bushes show a mortality rate of over 50 per cent, but most are only beginning to show signs of trouble.“When they get to a state where there is 26 to 50 per cent defoliation,” Jones said, “they are very difficult to recuperate no matter what you do.” However he said that massive fertilization should correct the problem for those trees which still have a chance.Jones estimated that correcting the soil imbalances caused by acid rain and other air pollution will take “150 to 200 kilograms per hectare” of fertilizer, and that the process would cost “$50 to $100 per hectare.” He said fertilization would likely have to be repeated “maybe every two years” until the pollution is curbed.•FUTURE AT STAKE’ Forestry Minister Côté, a forestry engineer by profession before he joined the Liberal government, illustrated a broad grasp of the problem.He said in an interview that his department would “certainly participate along with the private owners” in paying for the fertilization, “If we have to, we have to,” he added.“The future of all our hardwood industry is at stake.” Côté said experimental formulas for the fertilizer should be ready to try out by next spring.Commercial pllications could start by 1988 or ’89.“We should start action in ’87,” he said.“It is a very, very urgent problem." Pagé also said he is prepared to support government involvement in maple salvage operations.“We cannot measure yet the cost of the Michel Page., from citizens.Pressure needed Weather Cloudy with a few sunny breaks today and a high of 15 Doonesbury Albert Coté.‘We should start action in ’87’.remedy,” Pagé said in an interview.“But it is clearly going to be very expensive.If fertilizing is what it takes, a program for that would be initiated.” “We would be involved but I can’s say yet to what extent.” POLITICAL SOLUTION Pagé told the assembled scientists and farmers to “keep up the pressure from the citizens” to convince the federal government to push for corrective measures from the United States, which contributes heavily to the Quebec forest problem.The ultimate solution will be political,” he said.Ministry of Natural Resources scientist Gilles Gagnon, who has been tracking the effects of acid rain in hardwood forests since 1983, said the deterioration of the maple woods is “accelerating very fast.” “In the sugarbushes we studied, in 1983 an average of 61.8 per cent of the trees showed damage from air pollution.In 1984 the percentage was 76.4, and in ’85 it was 81.8 per cent,” Gagnon said.The figures show that “In two more years every tree will be affected,” he said.“All the graphs are rising steeply and all types of maple bush are affected, in all regions we have studied.BY GARRY TRUDEAU SHOW YOU CARS BY SENPtNGWRTM-[mamcoN- TFimONTO- u € t VICKI DKADMAN.Alii 7 SAWYF.RVII.I.I: PRIMARY S( Hoot A5 m SATIN SHEATH WITH 7Ht F£M MOTIF AMP 5MBROIPEP3?CRYSTAL 06AP5 INCHES, INEXORABC/.POWN-j MW, A NATIONS PP1PB HAN6S ‘.0/ATH8EAP! .WHAT CAN YOU OO?WELL, START BY 6mm !N-VOVJEP! & KIPS!

The Townships The RECORD—Friday.May 9, 1986-3 —____ftci MBCOttl Dust poses the greatest health hazard to pottery workers, says study By Eleanor Brown SHERBROOKE — Potters concerned with the safety in the workplace have prompted a research group to study the hazards of the craft.And the document they produced concludes that dust is the greatest danger.A six-member committee which has spent the past decade doing similar work devoted a year to preparing the report.Entitled Pottery studios: The health and security risks of artists and artisans, the 57-page document records conclusions reached by the Equipe de base en santé au travail, the CLSC Soc's health in the workplace commission.The group visited three local ceramics studios to obtain first- hand knowledge of the processes involved.Analyses of the air within the workplace, safety precautions.and a bibliography complete the study.LUNG DISEASE The potter's greatest enemy, says Dr.Bruce Jacks, a commis sion member, is dust.Silica dust, present in powdered clay, is known to cause silicosis, a lung disease, Jacks says.“It is recognized that silica is one of the bigest problems in a potter’s studio.In the domain of hygiene in the workplace, there exist very precise methods to measure the presence of a contaminant and there exist legal regulations which dicate the norms one must respect.” “In the case of our investigations,” he continues, “certain operations, such as emptying bags of dry clay into mixers liberate enormous (amounts oft dust, much more than the amounts permitted.“But these operations do not study." Jacks says.Another cause for concern, the study states, is lead poisoning.PREVENTION AT SOURCE Lead is an ingrediant added to 'Now they're older and maybe a bit wiser.They're asking questions they were not concerned with 20 years ago.There hasn't been a massive demand (for information); two people within a three month period.But that's two more than we'd ever heard of before.' always last eight hours a day.five days a week.It is therefore difficult to say the exact average exposure without an elaborate the clay as part of a substance which renders pottery glassy, Jacks explains.Prolonged exposure leads to anemia and kidney disease Jacks recommends "prevention at the source".Using wet clay mo dust), masks or simply installing a ventilation system will solve the most pressing problems, he says.Jacks says the back to the earth movement in the early 70s contributed to a renewed interest in pottery in the area."Now they’re older and maybe a bit wiser They're asking questions they were not concerned with 20 years ago.There hasn’t been a massive demand (for information); two people within a three month period.But that’s two more than we’d ever heard of before." Jacks adds that this isn't the first time such research has oeen made.Europeans have studied the health risks ceramics pose “pretty well”.But only one such report has been made in Quebec — and that at Concordia University two years ago The document was requested by fine arts students concerned about their classroom environment.In the past 10 years the équipe has published reports on the health and work conditions of employees of restaurants and hotels, garages, workers exposed to sewage.the 'burn-out' experienced by staff at a hospital for seniors, and is currently working on a study of fluoridation.Some 15 potters are members of the Eastern Townships artisan association.Jacks' advice: “In terms of actual disease — every five years or so, have some more x-rays taken."

mental health taboos By Claudia Villemaire With over two hundred people held spellbound through Thursday’s seminar on mental health, organizers felt the public was finally ready to take some positive steps towards improving attitudes, care and acceptance of this illness.“We are hoping to clear away those old taboos about mental illness and emphasize the importance of developing resource people, groups and agencies outside the strict confines of initial treatment,” said Jennifer Griffith-Weber, occupational therapist at Residence Melbourne.The CRSSS, in collaboration with local psychiatrists and alternative resource people, organized the day-long seminar primarily to make the public more aware of the needs people suffering from mental health problems have.They often need to find care without help outside a medical clinic or hospital.Guest speakers underlined the need to do away with generally negative attitudes about mental health.Louise Cousineau, media critic and guest speaker, pointed out several media items which harp on the negative, seemingly demeaning a mentally ill person who has been involved in illegal or suicidal activity.“So often the press seems to prefer the sordid details of such incidents such as recent murder-suicides by people obviously overcome by mental illness.They don't say that people should be more alert to the signs which are always there before these incidents take place,” Griffith-Weber explained.Collette Filteau, a member of the Intersectorial Committee for Mental Health in the Eastern Towns- hips CRSSS and chief administra- Weber said.tor at the Residence Melbourne spoke enthusiastically about the possibilities which organized alternative resource people and groups have.“We, at the CRSSS cannot form a group for parents of schizophrenic children, for example.That first motivation must come from the people involved.Starting with perhaps one concerned individual who is willing to search for others in the same position.Then taking their proposals to the CRSSS usually results in associations being formed with the CRSSS offering guidance and resource people,” she said.Thursday’s seminar was unique.For the first time people from every profession and level of society from superior court judges, police, lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors, teachers and social workers were assembled.Available services were inventoried and needed alternative resources were suggested.Ways and means of establishing transition homes, helping families cope and learn to help their own mentally ill or handicapped members, organizing day-care centres for those who cannot function normally in today’s society were discussed.Setting up groups such as the Secours-Amifiéprogram, run by volunteers who man telephones 24 hours a day for anyone contemplating serious personal injury or just wanting someone to tell their troubles to, were also talked about.“Unfortunately there are very few anglophone organizations or agencies or even private groups formed to help firstly get rid of the taboos so firmly attached to anything smacking of mental illness and most importantly to help those who are suffering from or recovering from an incapacity which is in the healing process,” Griffith "There are all kinds of possibilities to help,” said Filteau.“But first we must realize that, more and more, as care and treatment improves, that diagnosis — which seemed so pessimistic at first — can be reversed.We are seeing this happen at the residence where I work.“Several patients have improved so dramatically, they will be able to once again live and work as others do.But it has been a long process.Volunteer care and acceptance of them as real people has been a large part of their improvement.That takes time, money, organization and a willingness of people in general to shoulder their responsibility towards their fellow man.“General acceptance and public opinion,” she continued, “must change and see the mentally ill in a new and positive light.This is a sickness like any other and the stigma and taboos must be erased from the minds of the public.” One in every five people could suffer some kind of mental illness in their lifetime but only two or three per cent of the population in general ever gets to the incurable stage.Medical advances and the willingness of people to help each other should convince all that mental illness is not something to hide in one’s closet, Filteau added.“Today’s seminar is an awareness event,” said Griffith-Weber.“According to what I have seen and heard, it could be the happening that will plant the first seeds towards a more positive approach to-wards mental illness and get people working harder to find alternative resources that could bridge the cap from illness back to functioning and contributing to the continued growth of our community.” By Stephen McDougall SHERBROOKE — Eight Quebec members of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang did not pass go, did not collect $200, but rather went directly to trial Thursday.The eight — Marcel Desloges, Yvon Rodrigue, Guy (Mouskie) Rodrigue.David Rouleau, Jacques (Bou-Bou) Filteau, Charles (Cash) Filteau, and Louis Brochu, all of the Lennoxville chapter, and Gilles (Trooper) Mathieu of the Sorel chapter, are each charged with five counts of first degree murder.They were sent to trial by Sessions Court Judge Laurent Dubé at the closing of their eight monthlong preliminary hearing.Dubé read his prepared decision immediately after final arguments from defence and crown attorneys were made.The charges were laid following the discovery of the bodies of five members of the gang’s now defunct Laval chapter.Police found their bloated bodies in the St.Lawrence River last June.EXECUTION STYLE Police say the five were murdered ‘execution style’ by members of the Sorel and Lennoxville chapters at the latter’s clubhouse on March 24.1985.The eight accused members showed no reaction to the decision, and when Dubé left the courtroom, they all stood up, smiled and started talking to their lawyers.Both defence attorneys Michel Dussault and Jacques Bouchard had earlier argued extensively that there was “an absence of proof” to send their clients to trial.“The Hell’s Angels is a club whose goal is to enjoy their motorcycles.We need proof that they did criminal acts before we can infer that they must go to trial,” Bouchard argued.“There is no Canadian law that says that being part of a group — any group — is illegal.” Dussault added: “We could no more talk of the bikers than we could a group of soldiers when it comes to being related to the incidents cited in this hearing.” Four other Angels were sent to trial last week after their defence lawyer, Léo-Réné Maranda admitted there was sufficient proof to do so.MAY 12 On Monday, Crown Prosecutor René Domingué requested and was granted a “change of venue”, or a transfer of the trial to Mon treal for the four bikers.They will appear in Quebec Superior Court in Montreal on Monday, May 12.After Thursday’s decision, Domingué said he will ask for another transfer to Montreal for the eight accused bikers.He said he will make the request before September 8, when the eight bikers are to appear in Superior Court here.In addressing the accused with his decision,.Dubé noted that even if the eight “did not participate fully in the murders, their presence on that day helped to carry them out.It would seem, from the facts I have just reviewed, that the affair was well planned out, with many soldiers and cars present and waiting,” he said.Outside the courtroom, defence attorney Dussault said he will appeal Dubé’s decision to the Super- ior Court, but would not elaborate.His only comment was: “I find it funny that the judge would have his decision prepared to read just after our arguments.” A tired Lawyer Bouchard, who represents six of the eight bikers, would not comment on whether or not he will appeal the decision.“1 am not going to tell you every move I am going to make,” Bouchard told a reporter.“I am not a public relations man.I am certainly not going to tell you out here in the corridor,” he added as he tried for the third time to call the courthouse elevator to his floor.Workers to vote on strike possibility By Stephen McDougall ASBESTOS — The union at the JM Canada asbestos mine has started gearing up its members for a strike vote.The decision to have the referendum came after the company did not respond to final union demands Thursday.After an afternoon negotiating session, the union had given the company until 5p.m.to respond, or they would ask their 554 members for a strike vote.Members will vote on the question today (Friday) and Monday.Union president Rodrique Char-tier told The Record that the union had already launched the referendum.“By Monday night, we will know if our members want to strike or not,” he said.OWN TIME Each union member is allowed to vote in the referendum, though he or she must do it on their own time.The votes will be cast at the Union Hall on Simoneau Boulevard.The polls are open from 8 a.m.to 6 p.m.on both days.Negotiations between the company and the union have been on a rocky road ever since they started in early February.Two weeks ago, after numerous meetings, some 400 rank and file members rejected the latest offers of the company and called on the union leaderhip to allow a strike vote.Soon after, the company resumed negotiations, but according to Chartier, little was accomplished.The union is asking for a long-awaited pay raise and a better pension plan, among other things.The company, formally Johns Man- ville Canada, owned by a Denver, Colorado-based asbestos producer, began having dwindling sales of asbestos staring in 1980.LINKS TO CANCER The fibre, used as a fireproof material and insulator, has been medically linked to cancer and lung diseases which caused clients to switch to substitutes.As a result, the mine has had to lay off more than 2,000 miners.This led to a weakiening of the union’s bàrgaining power with the company, which was bought out by a group of Montreal businessmen in 1983.One of the concessions the union gave to the new company was a salary freeze, in order to help the ailing company stay alive.Now, according to union officials, the company sales picture is improving and they want a pay increase.But an industry source has warned that the company’s financial picture is not that promising, since the increasing sales are in the less profitable short fibre line.The other sore point in negotiations with the company is over improvements to the pension plan.The union wants a company paid benefit of $20 per month for each worker in 198G, and $25 for 1987.So far, the company is offering $15, with no retroactive payments.The union also wants any worker who has worked at the mine for five years or more be able to draw a pension at age 60.The union says the company does not favor such a scheme.Attempts to contact the company for a comment were fruitless.Company spokesman George 01-ney could not be reached for comment at press time.«¦yr.New

1897 Editorial As long as the battle rages.In the midst of all the controversy over the future of Sinclair Stevens’ political career, Mulroney’s show for the Japanese and fallout over the Russian nuclear disaster, a very important day passed this week.Coca-Cola, a symbol of the American way — second only to the hot dog and baseball — turned 100.And it was with reckless abandon — sort of like popping the tab on a tin of the stuff — that company executives and personnel this week gathered in Atlanta to celebrate the birthday (the biggest since Mickey Mouse’s party it seems).In all, 24,000 employees and bottlers from 120 countries bubbled and chortled over the success of the magic drink, which in addition to revolutionizing the meaning of the word refreshment became a symbol of American culture all over the world (sort of like Mickey).The whole scene probably pleased the creator of the drink, John Pemberton, as he sat in that great big softdrink cooler in the sky, a tall cool one in hand, and watched things unfold.(He started serving the carbonated syrup in his Atlanta pharmacy in 1886).Undoubtedly the mainstay of the prestigious affair was the drink itself, which Americans on average consume at the alarming rate of 190 litres per person, per year.But the fact is — and you wouldn't have had to convince the merrymakers of this — for many people then and for many people today.Coke is it.It was the first.It was the best.It started something.And today, despite Michael Jackson and the Pepsi-Cola Corporation, it is carrying on into its second century.Now, like that age-old debate over whether a cat or dog makes a better pet.this editorial is in no way setting out to dicate choices to those reading it (after all, the softdrink machine which looms in the corner of this establishment serves both).But important moments in history — moments anyone can remember as their coins tinkle to the bottom of a vending machine and the tin pops out with a thud — should be remembered and noted for posterity.After all, there is no sign of any easing of this century’s version of the Crusades — the Cola wars.And as long as the battle rages, as long as there are hot and bothered people who have to stand by and watch the antics on the television playing fields, there is always going to be a need for a pause that refreshes.Now if deciding which button to push could only be a little easier.PHILIP AUTHIER The game is about national power, not ideals Bruce Levett Sniffer squad blues It was midnight down at the Old Dogs’ Home and a candle flickered fitfully in a corner.A slightly shaggy schnauzer named Harry was holding forth.“All I ever wanted to be was a Seeing Eye dog," he sighed.“But I did not meet the height requirements.Then again, my direct-action approach of halting the training officer by biting him in the ankle was not regarded as standard operating procedure.Effective though." he mused.“Then they put me on the sniffer squad." he gritted.“At airports.I specialized in nitro-glycerine, but it didn’t last “After awhile 1 developed the loudest bark in town.And where I sneezed, nothing grew for a thousand years.” There was a rumble of agreement.“After that, it was all downhill.The drug detail was next.“I became known as Happy Harry.Oh, it was different at first.I got no kick from cocaine.I thought that if I took even one sniff it would bore me terrif-ickly too,” he crooned.“Eventually, however.I developed a certain discrimination.I would pass up your everyday, garden-variety narcotic — nothing but the best for old Happy Harry.I took to smiling a lot.Pretty soon, the control officers got wise and it was time to move on.” A beast of somewhat indeterminate ancestry wrinkled a brow.“But where was there to go?” he enquired.“You served with the explosives people.From there, you did duty with the drug squad.Was there anything left?” Harry, the once-happy schnauzer, nodded.“They assigned me to the Air Canada tobacco patrol.A whole new challenge for the olfactory glands, and at first it was a cinch “I specialized in French cigarettes.It got so that I could detect French cigarettes from as far away as the No.2 parking lot.The poor fools, they didn't stand a chance.“With my expertise, 1 was soon transferred to the pipe detail.No matter how the tobacco was packed.I winkled out the transgressors by giving nose to the very pipe itself.“It was then that disaster struck,” he sniffed.“In view of my incredible feats I was moved to the king light, special mild section.And 1 tried.Oh, lord, how I tried 1 practiced at home until 1 developed a four-pack-a-day habit, but it was no good.The nose was gone.” Slowly the companions wandered away, leaving Harry alone in the guttering glow of the candle in the corner."If I said it once, 1 said it a thousand times,” the Dalmatien whispered."Even Air Canada can’t teach an old dog new tricks." I ll be frank: we were surprised.When National Film Board director Tina Viljoen and I finished the ’Defence of Canada’ series a couple of months ago.we braced ourselves for a storm of protest — and it didn't happen.Here were were, proposing on national television that the country should quit its alliances and go non-aligned.and hardly anybody exploded.A few of the statutory retired colonels had apoplectic fits, of course, and Barbara Amiel in ‘Macleans’ said that if Hitler’s Germany had won the war, "Dyer would today be negotiating trade agreements with it.even as the chimneys at the extermination camps smoked away.” Every country needs at least one George Will clone.But on the whole, Canadians were not appalled by the idea that we should walk out of our alliances.Like Sherlock Holmes’ case of the dog that didn’t bark in the night’, this is useful evidence.It suggests that most Canadians already know, or at least suspect, that the alliances which now divide the Northern Hemisphere into two armed camps are a bad and dangerous phenomenon founded on a false mythology.That is not to say that most people are ready to quit our alliances.They know that Canadian neutrality would serve no useful purpose (and certainly would not save Canada) if the alliances themselves persist, and eventually stumble into a nuclear war.Moreover, they are not certain that Canada’s leaving its alliances would really set an example that others would follow' — or that the process of dismantling the alliances, if it got un- Gwynne Dyer derway, might not be even more dangerous than the status quo.Well, neither am 1.1 believe the present situation is extremely dangerous, and on balance I think that a radical Canadian initiative could make the situation better in the long run (though there would certainly be a lot of intervening turmoil).But I have no guarantees.What has been intriguing is that most of the published reactions to the series took our assumptions about the basically pernicious nature of the present alliances more or less for granted, simply quarrelled with out recommendations.Columnist Richard Gwyn.for example, explicitly accepted our perspective, but advised against leaving our alliances because “If Canada abdicates power (over the alliance’s policies) by quitting NATO, its militant members will exercise more power”.This is the classic Canadian position: that our voice of sweet reason within the alliance will restrain the barbarians (i.e.the United States) from running amok and getting us all into a war.Indeed, that was Ottawa's original motive in helping to create NATO.Canadian diplomats in the late 40s saw it “not only as a means of containing or restraining the Soviet Union, but also a means of containing or restraining the United States.” External Affairs Minister Joe Clark, writing in the Montreal Gazette, warned that Canada’s “leaving the Western alliance would make nuclear war more likely,” but the only concrete reason he offered for that prediction revealed that our diplomats still secretly harbor the same conviction.“NATO would feel weakened,” he explained, “and some of its members might be driven to hawkish demonstrations of strength.” That is diplomatic code for the scenario in which the less crusading members of NATO melt away, leaving the United States all alone and very, very angry.They’re already dangerous, the argument goes; think what they’d be like without us to whisper moderate counsels in their ear.It’s not a false argument, but it seems a trifle over-optimistic.The Libyan raid is a good example: all the European members of NATO (except Britain) shouted moderate counsels in Washington’s ear and were utterly ignored — while Ottawa gave its lukewarm support, presumably to preserve its ‘influence’ for another occasion.But what occasion, and will they listen then?There is a peculiarly Canadian arrogance in all this: the assumption that we are better than the Americans.It’s true that they have been seized by the kind of delusions that afflict every great power, but they are still a democratic nation, and in the end they have to cure themselves.They are capable of doing it, and we do not help by catering to their obsessions.Which brings me back to Barbara Amiel, who summed up all the myths by which we justify our alliance membership in a single sentence : “The history of the 20th century is the story of Western democracies fighting Prussian militarism.Nazi totalitarianism and the gulag.” It would be hard to pack more nonsense into 20 words.The First World War was a power struggle between various European empires, amongst which our main enemy, Germany, was slightly less democratic than Britain and France, but far more democratic than our other ally, Tsarist Russia.The Second World War in Europe was primarily a struggle between two totalitarian states.Germany and the Soviet Union, with Moscow’s Western allies playing a distinctly secondary role until the Normandy invasion, only 11 months before the end.In Asia, it was a straightforward struggle between rival colonial empires.And we have never fought the ‘gulag’, unless you want to count the attempt (in which Canadian troops were involved) to strangle the Russian revolution in its cradle in 1918-19.The West’s present allies in the military confrontation with the Soviet Union include such bastions of liberalism as the People’s Republic of China and the Khmer Rouge, and in the recent past they have included Franco’s Spain, Duvalier’s Haiti and the Greek colonels.The game is about national power, not about ideals, and it’s time we stopped playing it.Letter Thanks to Mr.Robitaille of the Capitol Theatre SAFETY FIRST! l&dLB riN CASE OF MELT 1SHK.| DOWN -BRWC 6LAS5 HI AND PRAY.Hi H- Dear Editor: Last week, after my husband and I learned the facts of business life in a rather nasty way.I wouldn’t have given you two pins for human nature.Today, a different kind of businessman, René Robitaille, of the Capitol Theatre in Sherbrooke, restored my faith in people, and I want to publicly thank him.Several people showed up early foi the Tuesday matinee of Hannah & Her Sisters.But horrors - the doors were locked, and no Tuesday matinee was listed! Discouraged, they left.Discouraged myself, I stayed, propped myself against the door, and nibbled on the lunch I’d brought.Mr.Robitaille came to the door and was very apologetic because he wouldn’t be having any Tuesday matinees during the summer.He smiled when I said I'd finish my lunch, and locked the door.Soon, some excited ladies arrived, from Sawyerville.They were even more disappointed than I was.Nothing ventured, nothing gained - so they knocked loudly.Mr.Robitaille came to the door again.When he saw their faces, and heard how far they’d come, he ushered us in,free of charge! The Capitol won some friends today, and Mr.Robitaille won my loyalty and gratitude.Sincerely, MRS.BERNARD EPPS Bury A woman’s world view would be different 1982 was a significant year in some way for all of us.Where were you in May four years ago?Remember the new green appearing again, a sign of another winter traversed?Just like now, only different.Two things stand out in my memory : preparing to walk down to New York city to join others for a peace march through the streets of Manhattan and a celebration in Central Park and the publication of Carol Gilligan’s book, In a Different Voice.Carol’s book acknowledged the lack of women’s experience as the basis for many theories about human development and behavior and proposed that if more research is done by women, including women in surveys and listening to how women describe 'the human condition' we may come up with very different conclusions about our world.Her work and the changes happening in the "peace movement” are directly related.As women become more involved in global concerns and local actions, new says of resolving conflicts, negotiating, doing politics’ locally or in the international arena may result.Women don't wage wars.Our columns this month will focus on women, non-violence and the peacemaking process.This is not to say that men are not or cannot be peacemakers Rather we want to spend

The RECORD—Friday.May 9.1986—5 Environment 1_____foci Kccaixi Egypt’s Aswan Dam: Washing away past and present secrets by Thomas Hamey Smithsonian News Service Approaching Pelusium from the Sinai Desert, the ghosts of greatness rise out of the low-lying plain like a mirage.The “stronghold of Egypt” in biblical times, this once-thriving city presided proudly on the Mediterranean coast, a gateway on the most easterly branch of the Nile River.The river branch has long since silted over, the sea now beckons from afar.All that remains of Pelusium's former glory are the ruins of brick fortifications, roadways and docks, piles of bones and mounds of pottery.Less than 40 miles away, in the fertile Nile Delta, a tall, dunelike hill appears abruptly in the cultivated fields.On closer inspection, the dune takes shape as a broad mound of silt, littered with the pillars and statuary of the Pharaohs who made this seaport, known as Tanis, their capital in the first millennium B.C.Today, Tanis is far removed from sea or river branch.SECRETS NEW AND OLD Beneath the sands of Pelusium and the silts of Tanis like buried not only the secrets of bygone civilizations but the still-unfinished stories of the Nile River and the Mediterranean Sea.Their stories are beginning to unfold as scientists from the United States, Egypt and Europe join forces to determine the past, present and future geological processes that control these life-giving bodies of water.The clues are in cylindrical cores of mud and silt painstakingly retrieved by drill from 100 to 150 feet below the earth’s surface and analyzed in laboratories like those at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.There, under the direction of senior oceanographer Dr.Daniel J.Stanley, the work takes on a new urgency.“Throughout history," Stanley says, “the delta has never changed as rapidly and as drastically in so few years as it has in the 22 years following the completion of Aswan High Dam.” What happens next to the Nile may affect the very future of this ancient nation : 96 per cent of Egypt’s burgeoning population of 48 million live in the 8,500-square-mile delta triangle, where every inch of soil is cultivated year-round.LEVEL RISING Stanley, one of the world’s top authorities on marine sedimento-logy, became interested in the Nile Delta as a natural outgrowth of his studies on the physical processes that have shaped and are continuing to shape the configuration of the Mediterranean Sea.During the past 10,000 years, the sea level has risen markedly.For most of this period, the Nile River more than compensated for the sea level rise by spilling millions of tons of rich sediment that replenished both the delta and the coastline.Then, about 3,000 years ago, the climate in the region changed dramatically and the area became more acid.Branches of the river appeared and vanished, the sea coast advanced and retreated, cities flourished and died.In recent history, humans have helped alter these natural processes.Around the turn of the century, the first Aswan Dam was built to control the Nile’s often destructive floods, and in 1964, the Aswan High Dam was completed about 600 miles upstream from Cairo.“Everyone agrees that the Aswan Dam has been of enormous value to Egypt,” Stanley says.“It prevents the Nile River from uncontrolled flooding, provides a large portion of Egypt’s energy needs and by improved irrigation has made it possible to add almost three million acres to the agricultural area of the Nile Delta and valley.“But Egypt may be paying a costly price for these gains.The dam virtually stopped the transport of sediments to the mouth of the N-le.With no more silt replenishing the delta and the coastlines, the soil is becoming deficient in nutrients, requiring the use of chemical fertilizers — a costly product for Egypt — and the rate of erosion has become disastrous at the mouths of the Rosetta and Damietta branches of the river." SALT LAKE THREATENED One of the danger points is the low, sandy ribbon of coastline that separates the Mediterranean from Lake Manzala, a 40-mile-long, 15-mile-wide lagoonlike salt lake on the delta's Damietta promontory.“Now that the Nile sediments are trapped behind the Aswan Dam, the low-lying coastline north of the lake is being cut back locally 150 to 300 feet a year.The prevailing currents and waves transport this sand long distances eastward along the Sinai coast, ending up along the Gaza and Israel coasts,” Stanley says."If the Mediterranean does break into Lake Manzala it could raise the salinity of this shallow salt lake and drastically modify the lake’s important fis- hing industry, inundate thousands of acres of land drained and reclaimed from the lake for agriculture and.worst of all.threaten the water table of delta agricultural lands south of the lake with disastrous salinization." HYDRAULIC DRILLING The key to the future of these lands, Stanley says, lies in the past — in the record of geological and climatic changes contained in buried sediments around the region.At the Egyptian government’s request, Stanley and two scientific teams spent the autumn of 1985 in Egypt.Working 13-hour days, six days a week, the teams drilled cores in sites in the eastern delta, north and south of Lake Manzala and in the Sinai.A hydraulic drill was used to remove a complete section of sediment at each of the sites, each sample representing a geological record dating back 8,000 to 10,000 years.Each core sample took two to three days to drill.In all 1,500 feet of cores — cut into 3- to 5-foot lengths — were removed, filling 71 crates weighing S'A tons.Samples were removed for Stanley’s colleagues from the Egyptian Coastal Research Institute and facilities in Western Europe; the remainder of the cores were carefully wrapped, sealed in paraffin and shipped to the Smithsonian.Core samples collected earlier by other scientists are also available for analysis.Ground water samples from drill holes are being tested for salt and contamination by fertilizers.TELLTALE

core samples available Tell Defenneh (Daphnae)* DESERT 1 5 miles Smithsonian News Service Map by Allen W Feldman In the Smithsonian laboratories, the cores are x-rayed, revealing structural features in the sediment that would otherwise be invisible.These features help pinpoint the nature of the ancient environment.Small details can be telling.For example, animals living in mud sediments turn over the soil in different ways, leaving telltale traces.From these clues.Stanley can determine whether the mud was in a marine or non-marine environment.Tiny fossils may also reflect subtle changes in environment, and pollen samples mirror climactic changes.The ongoing project involves paleontologists, mineralogists, geochemists and archaeologists.“The cores will make it possible to interpret the changes in the ancient environments throughout the delta from 10,000 years ago down to the present,” Stanley says, “and to determine the changes in the position of the coastline over this same time.By seeing how fast change is occurring now, we have a base to look ahead 50 or 100 years.” 400 FEET PER YEAR Hints are already available.At Ras el Barr, a city at the mouth of the Damietta branch on the Mediterranean, scientists found the coastline receding so fast — as much as 400 feet a year — that neighboring resort communities are being abandoned.In an attempt to prevent the sea from moving farther inland and eating away agricultural lands, the Egyptians are buttressing the shoreline with massive amounts of stone.“The whole coast cannot be protected,” Stanley acknowledges, “but it may be possible to minimize the damage in certain areas.Our study may be able to pinpoint these areas.One way to manage shoreline erosion is to renourish beaches.It’s much less expensive to quarry sand for this purpose from the land than to dredge it from the bottom of the sea.So as we drill, we are looking for large sand deposits.” ANCIENT PATHWAY The study will also make it possible to establish the pathways of the ancient deltaic branches of the Nile.Of the seven or more major deltaic branches known from various historical documents, at .j.Smithsonian News Service Photo by Victor Krantz Daniel

the unpredictable vagaries and power of the Nile, the greatest river on Earth.” Ultimately, Stanley says, the Aswan Dam may have to be reconsidered."If the erosion and decrea- Smithsonian News Service

Delta in cal processes.Clues to Israelites’ exodus revealed in grains of glass.Unexpected clues to the past often lie buried in core samples from the earth, says Dr.Daniel J.Stanley, senior oceanographer at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.Stanley was unexpectedly drawn into a scholarly controversy through his studies of the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile Delta.The controversy surrounds the biblical account of the miraculous events associated with the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.Four years ago, Dr.Hans Goedicke, an Egyptologist al the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., refined a theory which proposed that the Bible passage described the impact on Egypt of the tremendous volcanic eruption, around 1450 B.C., at Santorini, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea.The ash cloud from the eruption, the most tremendous volcanic event tooccurduring the past 3,500 years, according to Stanley, could account for the “deep darkness over the whole land of Egypt”.And, according to Goedicke, the tidal wave that followed the blast could account for the “parting of the waves” that destroyed the Egyptians as they pursued the Israelites.Unfortunately, Goedicke was unable to validate this theory with solid evidence.Santorini volcanic ash grains are commonly found on the Mediterranean sea bottom at least 250 miles south of Santorini, but not as far as the Egyptian coast, 500 miles away.BIBLICAL SITES In 1982, after reading a paper by Stanley concerning what deep-sea drill cores reveal about the Egyptian climate, Goedicke contacted Stanley.The next year, the two ¦men went to Egypt and looked at archaeological sites in the Nile Delta that in biblical times were located on the Mediterranean coast on an ancient pathway between Egypt and Israel.Intrigued by the problem, Stanley examined a series of cores collected by Egyptian colleagues on the shores of Lake Manzala to see if he could find any evidence of volcanic ash in the cores within the time frame of the Santonini eruption After the cores were dated by radiocarbon techniques, Stanley and Harrison Sheng.a Smithsonian po-trographer, began to examine samples under a scanning electron microscope and with an electron microprobe that reveals chemical composition.The task took a year, but amidst the hundreds of thousands of tiny fragments, they found 30 grains of volcanic glass shards that were virtually identical in structure and composition to debris from the eruption found near Santonini.The scientists are now looking at core samples collected in 1985 in the western Sinai and Nile Delta for further corroboration of the theory that the Exodus of biblical accounts may be firmly rooted in the forces of nature. vv< .) > V ^ , Vs s V -.t ^ >.v

thousand names but to the Olympians who prevailed in Greece she was known as Gaea.She emerged, they said, from the primal chaos and gave birth to Uranus, the sky, and to Pontus, the sea.Uranus looked down upon his sleeping mother, fertilized her with Xfarm rain and she bore flowers, grass and trees, animals and birds and ¦fîsh Then things went wrong.She bore a trio of hundred-handed giants and three enormous one-eyed Cyclopes.The Cyclopes rebelled against their father and he locked them away in Tartarus — a gloomy place as far below the earth as the sky is above.In fact, said some, it took a falling anvil nine days to reach its bottom.Then Mother Earth bore a dozen X-Tdans and Titanesses.Under Cro-X-oi|s.they crept upon their father ; while he slept, castrated him with •‘a flint sickle and threw his testicles into the sea.Where drops of his blood fell on Mother Earth, she bore three bat-winged snakehaired Fates who relentlessly pursue men throughout the world and devise torments for them in the Underworld.As he lay dying Uranus predicted that one of Cronus's children would dethrone him in turn and this prophecy was confirmed by Mother Earth.Cronus married Rhea, his sister, but swallowed • each of her children the moment they were born — Hestia.Demeter.Hera.Hades and Poseidon.But when Zeus was born.Rhea gave him to Mother Earth to hide, wrapped a stone in swaddling glothes and fed that to Cronus instead.Zeus was hidden in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete, grew up in secret and eventually became cupbearer to Cronus.With the help of lug mother and grandmother, he gave his father a powerful emetic to drink which made him vomit up the stone, Poseidon.Hades, Hera, Demeter and Hestia.They joined forces with Zeus in waging a ten-year war against their father.STOLE WEAPONS Zeus crept down to Tartarus, surprised old Campe, the jaileress, killed her, took her keys and released the Cyclopes and the Hundred-Handed Ones.The Cyclopes, clever smiths whose forges lay beneath Mount Etna, made a thunderbolt for Zeus, a trident for Poseidon and a helmet of darkness for Hades.Hades donned his helmet and •y- passed unseen into Cronus’s presence to steal his weapons.Poseidon challenged his father with his trident and drew his attention away from Zeus who felled him with his thunderbolt.The Hundred-Handed Ones then pelted the remaining Titans into submission with a hail of rocks and stones and they were banished to Tartarus — « or.some said, to the British Isles.' ‘And Mother Earth continued bir-£ thing monsters.She bore the Si-; réns to lure sailors to their

Goose.His mother-in-Jaw had been born in South Carolina and married a Boston widower, Jsaac Goose, who had 10 children by a previous marriage.Mother -¦Coose gave him six more of her own and therefore had had plenty of practise by the time she recited nursery rhymes to her daughter's seven children.But this collection of Mother Goose's rhymes has never been found.k (ACDKCOI OLD MOTHER HUBBARD Old Mother Hubbard was a folklore character with a dog long before her nursery rhyme was composed.The story of that composition is that a garrulous English lady named Sarah Catherine Martin (an early love of William IV before he came to Quebec with his French mistress I was visiting John Pollexfen Bastard (believe it or not! » in 1804.He was trying to write a letter and she was prattling away in her usual fashion until he told her to run away and write something herself — "one of your stupid little rhymes," he said.She did.On June 1, 1805, a London printer brought out The Comic Adventures of Old Mother Hubbard and Her Dog and bad a runaway best seller on his hands.Ten thousand copies sold out within a few months, it was reprinted the following year and pirated copies have been appearing ever since.WHISTLER'S MOTHER Anne McNeill was the daughter of a North Carolina slave owner who fell in love with George Washington Whistler when she was 15.Instead, he married Anne’s best friend and she remained a spinster until her friend died and the widower took her as his second wife.She was 27.He had three children already but the first of five that his new wife bore was James McNeill Whistler who made her immortal.George Washington Whistler was a brilliant assistant professor of mathematics at West Point, a surveyor (he surveyed part of the U S.-Canada border), an engineer (Nicholas I invited him to Russia to build the Moscow-St.Petersburg railroad), and inventor (of the steam whistle).His son was thrown out of West Point, went to London and became a painter.His mother came to live with him after the Civil War (she naturally favored the Confederacy) and Whistler had to evict his Irish mistress to make room for her.When she was 65, he painted her in a lace bonnet and black dress: “grace wedded to dignity, strength enhancing sweetness,” he said.He called it Arrangement in Gray and Black No.L’ She died 12 years later.After the funeral, Whistler borrowed fifty pounds to get her portrait out of pawn but he couldn't find a buyer.Edgar Degas arranged to show it at the French Salon where it won the Third Class prize.The National Museum of the Luxembourg Palace bought it for $625 and now Whistler’s Mother hangs in the Louvre.MOTHER'S DAY Mrs.Emily C.Pullman, mother of the inventor of the Pullman car, had another son who became pastor of the Universalist Church of Our Father in Baltimore.In 1892, his congregation suggested an annual memorial service to her on æt/t' the Sunday closest to May 22, when she had died.That service became dedicated in time to all mothers everywhere.i OLD MOTHER HUBBARD /‘‘ALT) Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard To get her poor dog a bone; But when she got there The cupboard was bare, And so the poor dog had none.She went to (he

who looked after her mother until she was 41 and suddenly bereft.She brooded for a while on how neglectful most people were of their mothers and began campaigning for an international Mother’s Day.A letter writing campaign to political leaders caught on — who could oppose motherhood?— and in 1910 the governors of West Virginia, Oklahoma and Washington proclaimed an official Mother’s Day.The following year every other state in the union followed suit and both houses of Congress authorized the president to proclaim such a day nationally in 1914.It spread quickly to Canada, Mexico, Central America and Japan.But the day got away from Anna M.Jarvis.She had intended it as a solemn religious observance to strengthen home and filial duty.Instead, in the words of Geoffrey Payton.“It has been propagated by all the weapons of modern commercialism.” LIZZIE BORDEN’S MOTHER To complete this Mother’s Day bouquet, consider Abby Durfee Gray.She married a widower three years older than herself, Andrew J.Borden, one of the leading citizens of Fall River, Massachusetts, an undertaker by trade and a gloomy old skinflint by nature.He had two daughters by his previous marriage; Emma was the eldest, Lizzie nine years younger, and both had entered well into middle age without any sign of husbands.All were active and upstanding in their church — Lizzie taught Sunday School — but they very seldom spoke to each other.They lived separate lives in a large house in one of the less fashionable parts of town.It had neither gaslight nor bathtub although Andrew Borden had retired with a cool quarter million dollars.Abby Durfee Gray Borden was 67 when she breakfasted with her husband and daughter on the mor- Lizzie Borden after her acquittal.ning of Thursday, August 4,1892.A live-in maid, Bridget Sullivan, an Irish immigrant who had been with her for three years, tended their needs.They had mutton, mutton broth, johnny cakes, cookies, coffee and some rather old bananas.Emma was away visiting friends.Mr.Borden got silently up, silently took his hat and went silently out in his high-necked, black woolen funeral suit.It was a hot August day.The temperature was 80"F.But all the doors and windows of the house were shut fast.Lizzie Borden went out into the back garden to eat pears.Abby Durfee Gray Borden went upstairs to lie down in the guest bedroom.Sometime between 9 and 9:30 that summer morning, someone smashed and hacked her head 19 times with a hatchet.About 10:30, Andrew J.Borden came home and lay down on the black horsehair sofa in the parlor.A few minutes later, somebody slipped in and hacked him to death with ten blows of the hatchet.The death notice in the local paper was unexceptional.The funerals were to be private — no flowers, please.m * r cm nrcoiT | The KWOK I )—Friday.May 9, 1986—7 Living —___tel Kecam Home kidney dialysis faster and simpler for some MONTREAL (CP) — Color-coded pieces of plastic, a computer and a new device known as "the box” are allowing many Montreal General Hospital kidney patients to do their own dialysis at home.Usually, patients with kidney failure must go to hospital three times a week for four-hours of dialysis to clean their blood of a potentially toxic buildup of wastes, which their kidneys can no longer remove.But with Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, trained patients can do a quicker, simpler job themselves, said Dr.Michael Kaye, head of the hospital’s nephrology division.“It is the only system like this in use in Canada,” Kaye said.The process does not involve withdrawing blood but relies on a fluid delivered regularly without charge to the patient's home by a pharmaceutical company.First, a length of plastic tubing is surgically implanted in the patient s abdomen with about 10 cen timetres left dangling outside.Then, four times a day.the patient connects the tubing to a two-litre sterile bag of fluid hung from an intravenous pole.The fluid runs into the abdomen by gravity.The patient drains it out again four to six hours later into a new bag.The process takes about 35 minutes each time.“The trick is to do it without contamination,” Kaye said.“Infection has always been the big problem with this process.” Betty McLoskey, one of the nurses in charge of the home dialysis program, said in the past, el- derly patients in particular had difficulty seeing the clear plastic connections.She said contamination occurred when they touched the wrong pieces of the tubing.COLORFUL SOLUTION But in the last tw’o years, the hospital has color coded the connections with plastic, making it easier to see w hat goes where, and protecting key sections from the patient’s germ-laden fingers.‘‘With these improvements, we’ve seen a striking change,” Kaye said.“The frequency of infection has been halved and we can keep some people on the home system who otherwise might not have been.” The hospital has also distributed two recently-introduced sterile connection devices known as “the box.” The patient inserts two lengths of tube into “the box” which are then spliced by heat without his hands touching critical points.Kaye said since the hospital rents the devices from a pharmaceutical company at $3,000 a year each, they are given only to patients whose home or personal conditions pose particularly high contamination risks.About half the hospital's dialysis patients, most of whom are middle-aged, now are on home dialysis.Kaye said a key to the program's success is a sophisticated computer system which keeps track of each patient through data gathered during monthly checkups at the hospital.“We can tell at a glance what is happening to a patient without going through reams of paper,” Kaye said.Hospitals lack equipment to treat deadly phlebitis Club enjoys buffet dinner MONTREAL (CP) — Phlebitis kills some 20,000 Canadians a year but specialists say many of the deaths occur because most hospitals lack the equipment to detect blood clots.Phlebitis occurs when a blood clot lodges deep in a vein, obstructing the flow or causing inflammation to surrounding tissue.If undiagnosed and untreated, it’s a potential killer.Recently, doctors developed a sophisticated test called the impedance plethysmography to diagnose the disorder which strikes 70,000 Canadians yearly.The test, which measures the volume and flow of blood in the veins, is now being used by a new specialized unit at the Montreal General Hospital.The unit is the only one of its kind in Quebec and one of the few in Canada.A case in Ontario last year illustrated just how important the correct diagnosis of phlebitis can be.A young college student went to a hospital emergency room with chest pains, rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath.The doctor in charge of the case sent her home, telling her shewas probably suffering from anxiety over exams.DIED FROM CLOTS The symptoms persisted, and she returned twice but was told the same thing.A day after her third visit, she died from massive clotting in her lungs.Many doctors miss phlebitis because they focus on aches and pains instead of sending a patient for tests, says Dr.Jacques Leclerc, who conducted research on phlebitis at McMaster University in Hamilton.“Doctors sometimes confuse symptoms like calf and leg pain with muscle and ligament strain, leg infection, varicose veins and slipped discs,” said Leclerc, who came to Montreal last July to start up the new unit at the Montreal General Hospital.“They also sometimes confuse symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath with pneumonia or anxiety.” Left untreated, the symptoms may go away, but often they worsen.Leclerc says some patients go from doctor to doctor before getting an accurate diagnosis.On the other hand, some doctors wrongly disagnose phlebitis.“Our tests show that only about eight of 30 new patients we get each -month have phlebitis,” he says.FEAR DEVELOPS Patients who have had it once may develop a fear of getting it again and tend to exaggerate every leg pain they get.“When we’re concerned about a patient, we bring the person in on an outpatient basis for impedance plethysmography and other tests.” The tests are highly effective, he says.They’re painless and have no side-effects.The dining room of “Le Sommet” sit atop one of the highest hills above Sherbrooke University.From its windowed walls you can look down on

Harrigan grumbles good-naturedly in his sprawling office at company headquarters, just outside of Toronto."That, to me, is not productive." “Productive” is a word that pops up frequently in conversation with Harrigan.He uses it to describe plant operations, increased mechanization and reliable workers.But it’s also an adjective that could apply to his own lifestyle.Up at 6 every morning, Harrigan starts his day with sit-ups on a slant board and a 10-minute workout on his rowing machine.In summer, he jogs.He arrives at the office “well before 8” and gets home about 7 p.m.— unless he has an evening engagement (usually three or four a week).SCHEDULE FULL His schedule keeps him on the move.On this day, he finishes a press interview just in time to catch a noon flight to Montreal for an auto show.The following day, he’s off to Detroit for two days of corporate meetings, then it’s back to Toronto for an afternoon fundraising meeting and a banquet that evening.“I try to keep my weekends as free as I can,” says Harrigan.“I try to separate business activities and my own personal living to ensure I’ve got a good balance of family life as well as corporate life.I find that essential.” A sturdy six-foot-three, the salt-and-pepper-haired executive has a commanding presence in a business office, but his friendly manner and warm smile make him quite affable.On his left hand, he wears a custom-made ring — an imposing gold block with a prominent diamond offset by an etched design.“I said, T want a substantial ring,’ and that’s what evolved.” Born in Chatham, Ont., Harrigan studied at the University of Western Ontario before joining Ford at Windsor in 1951.SEES EVOLVEMENT During his 35-year career, he’s witnessed an evolution in corporate management, leading to an emphasis on openness and communication.“The age of authoritarian organizational structure is a thing of the past.You’ve still got to maintain your levels of authority, but you delegate more and you participate more.” Leaning back in his chair, hands locked behind his head, he says of his own executive strengths : “I’ve always been very open to all the employees, encouraging their ideas.I’m a good listener, and I think I’m a good delegater.” His philosophy for business reflects those concepts: "You put out your goals and you try to achieve them in a way that will create an atmosphere of co-operation and contribution by others.” AID COMMUNITY Personal development is also important.“I feel everyone should contribute to the community in which they live, and participate in improving the community and the environment, making sure you balance your way of life so you’re not neglecting your family for other pursuits.And staying healthy is very important.I always figure healthy body, healthy mind.” At home, Harrigan enjoys gardening, although he admits, “I’m sort of forced into it because I’ve got a fair amount of property to look after.” He also plays tennis and has started collecting antique cars.His wife launched his new hobby last September when she bought him a 1913 Model T Ford for his birthday.A tiny model of a Model T is parked unobtrusively on his desk.The Harrigans have two children, Tara and Stephen.And what kind of car does the president of Ford drive?“I’ve got a (four-wheel drive) Bronco II, which is great during the winter,” and a Sable.Both models are, of course, Ford products.Buffer additions affect feeding method By Ora Kendall Animal Science Department Macdonald College In the early 1900’s, there is reference to sodium bicarbonate being added to the rations of dairy cattle.The idea has not changed since then, but farming practices have.Producers today are imposing changes on the dairy cow’s digestive and metabolic processes by feeding high concentrate and low forage rations, of which a major portion is finely chopped fermented feed This type of diet promotes production and efficiency of production, however, it is also an acid-containing and acid-generating diet that lowers the pH of the rumen, altering the fermentation pattern.The low “effective fiber” of this type of ration, aggravated by chopping the forage too fine.ANNUITIES & RRIF’s All retirement options explained.NO cost or obligation.Also RRSP’s and LIFE INSURANCE.EDDY ECHENBERG 562-4711 835-5627 does not stimulate sufficient saliva secretion (a natural buffet) to neutralize the acid stress placed on the animal.The results of a low rumen pH can include milk-fat depression, ketosis, displaced aboma-sums and cows going off feed (anorexia).Elliot Block, an animal science professor at Macdonald College, and his students have been conducting research on the best method of feeding sodium bicarbonate in the conventional type dairy rations and determining if lactating cows will respond to buffers when fed non-milk fat-depressing rations.Canadian producers usually feed forage and concentrate separately.whereas many of the studies showing significant response to buffer additions involved total mixed rations.Results of Block’s study indicate FIRST AID TIP St.John Ambulance BLEEDING FROM THE EAR • Bleeding or the discharge of straw-coloured fluid from the ear canal may indicate a fracture of the skull • Do not attempt to stop the flow of fluid • Place a dressing or pad over the ear and secure lightly in position • Lay the casualty down carefully with head slightly raised and inclined to the injured side ?If unconscious, place in the recovery position • Periodically check the breathing and pulse rate • Obtain medical aid.I Dollard Day or the Queen’s Birthday Gouvernement du Québec Commission des normes du travail that adding sodium bicarbonate in conventional diets is affected by the method of feeding.When sodium bicarbonate was included in the forage portion of a non-milk fat-depressing ration, it inhibited intake; bicarbonate inclusion in the grain portion stimulated intake.The grain portion of the ration was consumed and fermented rapidly utilizing the buffer as it was needed.Other research on buffet additions to non-milk fat-depressing diets have shown increased production efficiency, i.e., less feed intake at the same milk yield or the same feed intake with higher milk yields.It is possible that if the basal ration supports a normal fat test, then lower levels of buffer supplementation having less of an effect on milk fat, can still increase dry matter intake and milk yield.Block’s study also showed that using sodium bicarbonate in early lactation diets improved herd health.Yet, he cautions, that using the right amount of buffet will dictate its effectiveness.Many farmers use the percent buffer recommended for the total ration dry matter on the grain mix, thereby “underbuffering” their ration.Using excess buffer can lower the palatability of the ration.Also the best response to buffers have been in early lactation and with feeds that have low buffering capacity.More research is needed to determine exact buffer requirements for different rations.Until then, Block recommends adding sodium bicarbonate at .75-.8% of total ration dry matter or at 1.5-1.6% in the grain portion, if the ration is 50% grain and 50% forage.In conclusion, buffers can be used with non-milk fat-depressing rations in early lactation, especially when the main forage is corn silage.If not using total mixed rations, the buffers should be added to the grain portion of the ration and calculated to equal the percent recommended for the total ration dry matter.Certificates of merit The Sherbrooke

Oil Co.Ltd., Esso Resources Canada Ltd.and Petro-Canada Inc.said Thursday a test program confirming the presence of natural gas and condensate has been completed at the Esso PCI Home Et Al Minuk 1-53 well in the Beaufort Sea.Drillstem tests conducted through casing over three intervals, between depths of 1,234 and 2,295 metres, flowed natural gas during two of the intervals.The remaining interval flowed both natural gas and condensate.The most significant test flowed natural gas at rates of 26.5 million cubic feet a day and condensate at 185 barrels a day.The well was drilled to a depth of 3,367 metres from a beach island in the Beaufort, 135 kilometres west-northwest of Tuktoyaktuk.Water depth at the location is 15 metres.TORONTO (CP) — Hiram Walker Resources Ltd., recently taken over by the Reichmann family, earned $156 million in the last six months, down significantly Lawn Mower Headquarters from $184 million in the same period last year.The company said Thursday the decline was due to lower earnings in the distilled spirits and natural resource sectors.Resource profits were down particularly because of falling world oil prices.The company said its U.S.oil and gas operations will post operating losses later this year if oil and gas prices continue to stay depressed.This meant the company would have to write down the value of some of these assets.On a per-share basis, Hiram Walker earned $1.45 against $1.73 in the same period last year.Revenue was $2.3 billion, compared with $2.2 billion in the first six months last year.Dollard Day, or the Queen’s Birthday, is a

insanity of a US/ EEC trade war, and the devastating effect it is having on farmers.Wheat and barley prices are now below the levels of the early thirties, in constant 1930 dollars, and even some of our most efficient farmers will have to leave agriculture if the situation does not improve soon, the Prime Minister was advised.The Canadian Federation of Agriculture, with other farm organizations, was invited by the Prime Minister to discuss the state of agriculture in Canada with special reference to trade in major agricultural commodities: wheat, cattle and hogs.The Prime Minister was accompanied by Ministers - Joe Clark, John Wise, Charles Mayer, Michael Wilson, Don Ma-zankowski and Jack Murta.The ten strong CFA representa-tion, led by their 1st Vice-President.Brigid Pyke, made up the major part of the 17 invited farmer representatives.They warmly welcomed the opportunity offered by the Prime Minister to provide support for his efforts to put agriculture on the agenda of the Tokyo Economic Summit where it could be dealt with at the highest possible level.The farmers from coast to coast were united in their high praise for this new ianitiative taken by the Prime Minister.Brigid Pyke described some of the destructive effects of agricultural support programs of the EEC : and of the USA.as reflected by their “Farm Bill ’.She noted CFA’s approval of the initiatives announced on April 30th by the Prime Minister eliminating farm fuel taxes, and the CFA’s full endorsement of legislation dealing with farm debt review panels with a level of authority enabling them to deal effectively w ith the reality of farm debt situations.Brigid Pyke emphasized that the new price range for domestic wheat for human consumption of $6-$ll per bu.even at the maximum.would not increase the price of bread very significantly.She reiterated the CFA position that the very minimum grains and oilseed producers could survive on were the final price levels those grains sold for in 1985/86; and that deficiency payments would have to be made if the market place could not come up to that level.New multinationals have deep Quebec roots MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec businesses, traditionally home-bound, have begun to take the risks of branching out into the world.The move was slow getting started because for many years, multinationals were equated with U.S.economic domination.But as that negative connotation has faded, Quebec companies have begun to calculate the advantages of expanding outside the province.A dozen of the bigger, more audacious companies have made the jump, including Culinar Inc., one of the country's top 10 food processing firms.As Culinar president Roger Néron explains: “We have to do it because we re only six and a half million people and the market is saturated.“There's no more room here,” saidNeron.“We have to come out of our shells.And to do that we have to offer better quality and better prices than anybody else, anywhere else.” These companies are finding that to get the best of international markets, exporting is not always enough, they also have to set up offices abroad.Bombardier Inc.is the best known of the Quebec companies seeking wider horizons.In 1970, the company bought the Austrian plant that was building the engines for its snowmobiles, and another that builds streetcars.In 1981, the company built an assembly plant in Vermont for its public transport vehicles and three years later it bought a New York diesel motor plant.And with the purchase just a month ago of BN, a large Belgian manufacturer of public transit equipment, Bombardier now employs 4,000 people outside Canada.SETS PACE Cascades Inc., manufacturer of cartons and packaging materials, is the rising star in Quebec’s manufacturing sector.It surprised many when itbought in quick succession two of France’s largest carton manufacturers.In the United States, Cascades owns a plant in North Carolina and is buying another in New York.Ivaco Inc., a Montreal-based steel manufacturer that is doing better than the government-owned Sidbec, now has seven plants in Quebec, 39 elsewhere in Canada 21 in the United States and one in Australia.Quebec engineering firms have also been making a name for themselves around the world.La-valin Inc.in addition to its network of Canadian offices has set up permanent offices in Paris, Brussels, London and Yaounde in the Cameroon.A subsidiary.Enterprises La-valin, was noticed in Ontario recently when it acquired the Urban Transportation Development Corp., a transit equipment manufacturer.Another major engineering firm, The SNC Group also has permanent offices in the United States.Peru.Venezuela, Great Britain, France, Tunisia and Nigeria as well as across Canada.Several consulting firms are also making their mark internationally.They include DMR et Associes, the largest computer consulting firm in Canada with employees in three Australian cities, three U.S.cities and a handful in London ; and Raymond Chabot, Martin.Pare et Associes, management and accounting consultants with offices in Belgium.Switzerland and France.Never let them forget it’s a man’s world out there Grandmother died in ’51.She had reluctantly left each year for nine years before, sadly w'atehing what became an annual ritual as windows were boarded, padlocks oiled, checked and secured, final inspection tours completed and the car bursting with mementos and memories left for Sherbrooke for the last time each Autumn.For many years and in spite of declining health she had carried on with the help of a hired man.I realize now her sometimes sad outlook as she struggled to keep up the family farm without hope of it remaining a family enterprise when she could no longer go on.With one daughter whose training in nursing was a far cry from any inclination to farming, combined with the fact my Mom had a husband and daughter city-born and raised gave ‘Ma’ no hint that eventually we would find our way back to that old homestead where our pioneering forefathers had wrested a humble existence.But perhaps she was more aware of the family’s attachment to the soil than we thought.Selling was out of the question.She would keep the farm until she died and with confidence and hope in every line of her will, the old place went, free and clear to my mother.Through the years, as we travelled back and forth, sometimes spending a day or two, or soaking up a whole summer’s sun on the home place, a subtle tugging began at least at my mother’s original wish to free herself of the stigma of being a female small-time farmer.The old nostalgia for the hills of home grew stronger ’til finally, when my schooling was finished in Farms, furrows and feathers By Claudia Villemaire Sherbrooke, she shed the stress of city life and went home to try her hand at farming.Mother’s choice strained family relations between her and Dad quite a bit.The farm was terribly run down.There were no cattle and no fences to keep them at home.Dad’s work in Sherbrooke was his top priority and who, after all, could expect a Montreal-born and raised person to have any feeling whatsoever for this rundown excuse for home.But Mom prevailed.Dad came home weekends, and supplemented the tiny budget with a portion of his salary.His love of country living turned up in extended lawns, flower beds and gardens, house repairs, painting and generally turning the homestead into an oasis where his family and friends soon loved to visit.But Mom was the farmer.Once again, major decisions about cattle purchases, machinery and getting the land worked up and seeded once again were left to a woman.Years in the city had not kept her in touch with current trends and improved farming methods and her memory of days spent on the farm as a child did not yield much serious information about grow ing grain and building fences.a fôniUErjattg Lennoxville, Quebec JIM 1Z7 (819) 569-9551 z NOTICE OF CONVOCATION o f- < u The Business Meeting of Convocation will be > held at the University in Lennoxville on Friday, o 16 May 1986, immediately following the meeting u of Senate, scheduled for 9:30 a.m.Convocation will be held at the University on Saturday, 31 May 1986, for the purpose of conferring Honorary Degrees and Degrees in Course.Bridget C.Blackader Registrar Very gradually Mom succeeded.The milking herd grew from one cow and calf to nearly twenty head.Stables were renovated and modernized in time and by the early 60’s the farm boasted a tractor and the machinery that went with it.My recollections include trips to farm machinery dealers, feed mill operators and touring the surrounding region always on the watch for an animal which could be added to the herd but at an affordable price.But, although my love of that farm never dwindled, there were other things brewing.A career in music, or perhaps veterinary médecine would definitely be my choice, or so I thought, so the actual operation and day-to-day challenge my Mom faced went right over my head.Dad was always ready to help.But he was striving in a different direction.They were often at odds when his social functions required Mom’s presence and invariably that old homestead always seemed to present her with something more demanding, the result being they travelled together in different directions.But the fates had other things in mind during those difficult years.Eventually Mom decided to supplement the farm’s operation by going back to nursing.My career dreams began to fade and although the farm was doing quite well, there were new challanges looming that would eventually over a long and painful period see the old home disappear for ever, farming grind to a halt and the land left to grow what it could on its own.But that’s another chapter.Mom met her part of the challenge head-on.Although her farming years were in more modern times, thinking had changed only very slightly.Doing business, especially where machines and mechanical equipment were concerned was especially frustrating for a woman, and often, on the brink of tears she would realize that yet another transaction had taken advantage of her ignorance of all things mechanical.She travelled with owners' manuals stuffed into car pockets and tractos tool boxes, reading these books as one would read novels.A screwdriver was always in her purse and one could find a variety of tools under the car seat most times.She studied and read everything available but as she said later, no matter how much you thought you knew, most agriculture businesses saw you coming a mile away and never let you forget you were a helpless woman in a man’s world.I was proud of my Mom during those years.I would find her bumping along sitting on a disc-harrow originally built to be drawn by horses as someone else drove the tractor at a rate far faster than the machine was originally intended.Or, if there was no one home, I’d find her wearing men’s work gloves picking stone in a newly cultivated field, racing against weather to get the seed into the ground.She didn’t make bread or churn butter but her days were spent out on that farm trying to pick up where her mother had left off.And she succeeded.We love you, Mom.Have a great day Sunday.TAKE SHELTER You work hard.You owe it to yourself to protect as much of your income as possible.There are many legitimate ways to shelter your income from taxes.I can show you how to do it.Call me today.FRANK CAMERON MARK MACLEOD 566-0666 Investors Group PROW PROM OUR EXPERitNCE The RECORD—Friday, May 9, 1986—9 Gérald Tessier, B.A.A.James Crook, C.A.Tax talks On the evening of the first of May the Minister of Finance of Quebec, Gérard D.Lévesque presented the Liberal government's second budget since its election victory last autumn.This budget aims toward the attainment of three principal goals: a) stabilization of the province’s financial position; b) revival and strengthening of the economy of Quebec; c) the creation of 400,000 new jobs by 1990.The minister reported that the deficit for the 1985-1986 financial year will amount to 3.152 billion dollars, dowm $81 million from 1984-1985.Mr.Lévesque estimated that the 1986-1987 deficit will be $2.895 million, a further reduction of 257$ million from 1985-1986.It was also noted by the Finance Minister that Quebec will need 13.97% of its revenues in 1986-1987 to pay the interest on its outstanding debt (estimated at $30 billion).By comparison, in 1979-1980, only 7.3% of Quebec’s revenues went to cover the interest on debts of $10.7 billion.Several important taxation measures were announced : A) Capital gains exemption In order to not penalize Quebec taxpayers in comparison with other provinces, the Finance minister announced a complete harmonization of Quebec’s tax laws with those of the Federal government with regards to the capital gains exemption.B) Corporate tax holiday To stimulate the creation of new Quebec companies, all eligible corporations or cooperatives incorporated after May 1st, 1986 will be exempt from Quebec corporate income and capital taxes for their first
