we need a Conservative member who is present and active.” Minister of State Koch LaSalle exhorted the crowd to remember “the disastrous regime of the Liberals in Quebec and Canada,” while Treasury Board President Robert de Cotret said the Tories have created 611,111 jobs in the private sector in their time in power.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has not yet called the byelection, hut he must do so by Aug 27 —six Stevens inquiry begins By Jim Coyle TORONTO (CP) - A federal conflict-of-interest code issued in September 1985 by the Mulroney government didn't specifically ap ply to spouses and dependent children.according to documents released at a public inquiry Monday.The inquiry by Mr.Justice William Parker of the Ontario Supreme Court is investigating (he circumstances which led to the May 12 resignation of federal industry minister Sinclair Stevens amid allegations of conflict of interest.It was alleged that his wife, No-reen, acting on behalf of a company he controlled, obtained a $2.6-million interest-free loan from an officer of a firm that did business with Stevens' department It was alleged that Mrs Stevens borrowed the money in May 1935 from Anton Czapka, a minority months after Chretien's resignation.The byelection can then be held at any time in the remainder of the Tories’ term.It will be the first byelection test in Quebec for the Conservatives since they won 58 out of the province's 75 seats in the 1984 election in which they swept to power.The Tories announced two weeks ago that they had picked Leclerc to carry their banner.Two other potential candidates stepped aside for him.In Quebec City earlier Monday at the start of a two-day swing through the province.Liberal Leader John Turner challenged Mulroney to set an early date for the St-Maurice byelection.He also called for a byelection soon in the Alberta riding of Pembina, which was left vacant when Peter Elzinga stepped down and won a seat in the Alberta legislature.St-Maurice, located about 140 miles east of Montreal, was a virtual fiefdom for Chretien, who won eight straight election victories for the Liberals from 1963 to 1984 and held almost every major cabinet post over the years.He resigned in February after a shareholder and director of Magna International Inc., an auto parts company that received millions of dollars in federal grants.It was allegated that Stevens also breached conflict guidelines by granting a $300-million tax break to the South Korean automaker Hyundai Auto Canada Inc.He waved an obligation that Hyundai buy Canadian goods worth half the annual value of its auto sales in Canada, LOANS MILLIONS The Toronto Globe and Mail said a Korean hank partly owned by the Hyundai industrial group loaned $3.6 million in 1983 to York Centre Corp,, a company of whieh Stevens was chairman.Stevens has vigorously denied a conflict of interest.At the inquiry Monday, a letter from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to all cabinet ministers was in- well-publicized dispute with Turner, who beat out Chretien for the party leadership in the spring of VANCOUVER (CPI —Princess Margaret praised Vancouverand its citizens for their contributions to the arts during a state dinner Monday night that ended her five-day visit to British Columbia.“I am so happy to have returned to British Columbia to share with so many of you both in the excitement of Expo 1986 and Vancouver’s centennial year,” she told a select audience of 450 guests, including many of the province’s artists and performers.Also in attendance were several of the 12 candidates who are striving to replace Premier Bill Bennett as premier and leader of troduced as evidence.In it, Mulroney said he wanted it “understood clearly” that each had an “individual responsibility" to prevent conflicts.Testimony from two officiais charged with administering the conflict code said they were aggra vated by Stevens' failure to meet them and by his slowness in properly arranging his affairs.He was eventually deemed to have complied and was assured shortly after he was sworn into the federal cabinet in 1984 that his wife “has no activities or assets which might pose any problem for you." Robert Boyle, assistant deputy registrar general, and Peter Herbert, a director in his department, were the first witnesses called on Monday.Herbert said Stevens was never available to meet personally with him when financial disclosures ral stronghold, but the party must showthat its revitalization in Quebec has borne fruit.The Tories, for their part, must show their 1986 sweep wasn't just a

of an assistant and a lawyer and filings from Ste vens' tenure as a cabinet minister in the Clark government in 1979.Herbert said it '“appeared to be unnecessary" to meet Stevens in 1984 and said the department's role was one of providing assistance to ministers rather than investigating their disclosures."We don’t go and check with so mebndy's bank manager or somebody's chartered accountant or so mebody's lawyer," said Herbert Stevens has taken the position that his business holdings were in a blind trust and he had no knowledge of his wife's transae lions By Janet Steffenhagen OTTAWA (CP) — The Commonwealth will lose influence and may disintegrate unless members agree next month to take strong action against South Africa racial policy, Archbishop Ted Scott predicted Monday.Scott, the Canadian member of the Commonwealth eminent persons group, saitl the Commonwealth will lose its relevance it members fail to take a principled and united stand against racism when they meet in London in August.“It's important to maintain the Commonwealth, but it's important to maintain it with principle — you need the two things together,” said Scott, former primate of the Angli can Church of Canada.The eminent persons group was established by Commonwealth members in 1985 to initiate talks between the South African gover nment and its black opponents.Its report will be discussed next month by the 49 Commonwealth members.Scott told reporters he hopes, but is not optimistic, that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher will join those calling for tough economic sanctions against South Africa.Meanwhile, Canada must side with black members of the Commonwealth in opposing racism and implement sanctions with or wdthout Thatcher’s concur fence, he told a Commons committee on human rights.HOLDS HEARINGS The committee, conducting hearings to consider a Liberal resolution supporting sanctions, heard a similar message from Canadian church groups earlier in the day.The Canadian Council of Churches said sanctions would un doubtedly hurt black workers in South Africa by reducing economic activity but that's a pain they’re prepared to endure.Scott said most of the blacks interviewed by the eminent persons group favor international sane lions even though it’s a treasonable offence under South African law to do so.A diplomatic source speculated earlier this year that as many as nine Commonwealth members might pullout of the organization if London refuses to act against South Africa's white regime.Thatcher says she opposes sanctions because of the harm they would inflict on blacks.Britain is also the biggest foreign investor in South Africa and its largest Commonwealth trading partner.“I think England has to face the reality that her position of leadership in the world depends on rela (tons with all of Africa, not just South Africa," Scott told the five Mi’s at the meeting.Scott, who will not attend the London meeting but will be on call as part of the eminent persons group, said the Commonwealth must agree to apply whatever pressure is necessary, including economic sanctions, to end apartheid.The ruling whites, who form only 14 per cent of the South African population, will not make significant changes unless forced to do so by Britain, the United States and West Germany, he said.Canada should show leadership by imposing tough sanctions and offering economic assistance to neighboring African countries which might be hurt if South Africa retaliates, he added.The (’anad ia n Council of Churches wrote to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney on Friday.In its letter, the council called for legislation to halt the import of South African agricultural products and Canadian investment in South African or Namibian compa nies that assist the police, military or nuclear industry The council singled out four companies they say appear to be helping the South African government suppress blacks.The companies are Ford Motor Co.of Canada Ltd.Massey-Ferguson Ltd., Falconbridge Ltd.and Rio Algom Ltd.The Commons committee wants to hear witnesses from Falcon bridge and Massey-Ferguson later this week.Thousands boycott work, class I rom Routers AP A I P JOHANNESBURG iCPl — As many as-100,000 black workers took part in a day of protest Monday against the South African go vernment’s state of emergency and thousands of students boycotted classes to protest new security measures.The 500,000-member Congress of South African Trade Unions, the largest black-led labor group in the country, called for the protests against rials.More than 200 labor leaders are among an estimated 3,500 people held without charge under the state of emergency.Meanwhile, the leader of the opposition Progressive Federal party said South Africa may be hit wit h a wave of economic sanctions because even moderate European leaders are losing patience with the government.Colin Eglin made the comments after returning from a trip in Europe The leader of the white liberal opposition party said European leaders are no longer impressed by the argument that the government needs more time to introduce reforms."Time and again I was confronted with the argument that after 38 years of National party rule, not a single black person has been granted the vote and people in South Africa still live under apartheid,” Eglin said The independent Labor Monitoring Group said the response to the labor group’s call varied widely between regions.Reuters and Agence France Presse news ser vices said up to 100,000 workers took part in the sit ins and strikes.At least 80 per cent of South Africa’s 1.7 million black students re turned to school for resumption of classes after a six-week vacation, the government said That would mean up to 340,ooo

#1__frgl Kama The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Why should sports be immune?It’s a statement which has been heard more and more frequently over the past 15 years, most often from the mouths of people who haven't given the slightest bit of thought to what they’re saying: “I don’t like politics interfering with sports”.The latest supporter of this trendy, pseudonoble attitude is Liberal leader John Turner.Turner came up with the words in a speech Monday, saying he would not support a boycott of the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh as a protest against Britain’s refusal to impose Economic sanctions against apartheid-torn South Africa.The issue of mixing sports and politics raises Some interesting questions.Such as: — When everything else in our world is affected by politics, why, exactly, should sports be immune?— Why should athletics be placed in a different category than opera, or movies, or far-ining, or car manufacturing, or space programs?— How can sports be separated from politics ïjwhen the very nature of events like the Olympic Games and soccer’s World Cup are blatantly 100 per cent political?.— For example, why was it so exciting when Sylvie Bernier and Alex Baumann won Gold Medals FOR CANADA at the 1984 summer games in Los Angeles?— And why was it so exciting when 20 kids on the United States hockey team, with names like Jim Craig, Mike Eruzione, Neal Broten and 1 Mark Johnson, edged the God-like Russians 4-3 in front of a delirious crowd of flag-wavers at Lake Placid in February, 1980?— And to get down to basics, exactly what type of song is played to honor the Gold Medal winner at any Olympic ceremony?It’s not That 'll Be The Day by Buddy Holly or YMCA > by Village People.It’s not without merit to say that, idealistically, sports and politics should travel on separate highways.•/' But if we’re going to get idealistic, there are one hell of a lot of other things in this world that shouldn’t be laced with politics either — but .are.That’s just the way it is.Setting anything falling under the category of ‘sports’ apart from the realities of living in the 20th century isn’t idealistic — it’s naive.WILLIAM HARRIS The

With this “least cost” approach, utilities would therefore burn less coal and emit less sulfur, and ratepayers’ bills would decrease simultaneously, because the efficiency improvements would dramatically reduce demand for electricity.SCRUBBERS According to some assessments, from a cash standpoint utilities would do far better by adopting the least-cost approch than either installing scrubbers everywhere or doing nothing at all.This is because efficiency investments would free up utility capital that would otherwise have to be sunk into power plant construction.When you look at the bottom line, it is 10 times as cheap to invest in efficiency as in new construction.The utilities’ stream of savings could be used to finance further acid rain reductions by investing in any combination of scrubbers, fuelswitching, or clean coal-burning tech nologies like fluidized-bed combustion.Preliminary analyses also indicate that fewer coal mining jobs would be lost under this least-cost approach than if utilities simply switched to low-sulfur Western coal.The Northeast and the Midwest will benefit in new jobs because of manufacturers of efficiency devices located in these regions.The State of Wisconsin has already officially included efficiency investments in its very strong acid rain reduction strategy.If other states follow its example, it is a virtual certain ty that ratepayers will save money while cleaning up the environment.Rep.Claudine Schneider (R) ot Rhode Island is the ranking minority member of the House of Representatives’ Science and Technology Subcommittee on natural Resources, Agriculture Research, and Environ ment.Letters Only for the mis-quotations Dear Editor: I am most interested to know where Ashley Sheltus obtains his information for his article Down The Pike that he submits for Thursday Records.In today’s (July 3) issue, he mentions the service to be held at the Old Stone Church on Stanbridge Ridge on Sunday, July 6.He states that this is a “United Church".He couldn’t be more wrong.Agreed, the United Church has held services here during the past 60 years, but, if he would take time to inquire about the origin and building of this old ‘meeting place”, he would have found that it was built in 1842 by pioneers of the community, supported by many interested friends of other local communities.This was over 80 years before there was a United Church of Canada denomination, which came into being in 1925.As quo- ted, the Stone Church on Stanbridge Ridge was built as a “Community Church”, and was served first by the Baptists, later by the Christian Adventists, the Anglican Church, the Pentecostal Assemblies, the Methodist church, and latterly by the United Church of Canada.I was born in the large farm house adjoining this church, and was a regular attendant here, at services held by several of PROVINCIAL TASK FORCE.RECOMMENDS DISMANTLING OP GOVT.AGENCIES.the.RECORD these different denominations.I might

“The future lies with the left, in one from or another,” predicted Rosny Desroches, the Methodist schoolteacher who is now Haiti's Minister of Education.But it was an act of faith, not a logical conclusion.It didn’t even mean that Desroches wants the left to win : he just knows that the centre has no future, and he’s more afraid of the right coming back to power.Not that it ever really left.Presi-dent-for-Life Jean-Claude Duvalier left to join his money overseas on February 7, but the military council the U.S.embassy installed in his place was full of former Duvalier henchmen.Only four of General Henri Namphy’s 19-man cabinet were seen by the public as totally ‘clean’.“There was a compromise,” explained Desroches (one of the four).“We had to avoid a bloodbath.It was that or an American invasion.The way it came out, there was no victory of one side over the other.Conditions of security were agreed for those who left with the president and those who stayed.” As a temporary measure of damage limitation, it made some kind of sense in February.The spreading riots had made it impossible for the regime to remain in power, but 29 years of savage repression by ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier and his son had splintered the Haitian opposition into a hundred fragments, most of them in exile.Nobody outside the regime could master the situation even if power were handed to them on a platter.POPULAR REVENGE So the U.S.embassy made a deal Gwynne Dyer with various ambitious elements in the Haitian army, promised the more hated regime members that they would be protected from popular revenge, and told Jean-Claude it was time to go.The least tainted officer Washington could find to serve as figurehead of the provisional government was General Henri Namphy At first, the new regime really tried to exert control in the old style.General Namphy’s two closest aides were Colonel Prosper Avril, Duvaliere’s former top military adviser, and Alix Cineas, a senior minister until the coup.Colonel Avril even tried to prevent political exiles from returning, arguing that “we can’t have people who want to foment disorder.” But it was tough talk without the force to back it up.Following new outbreaks of rioting in late March, Avril and Cineas were dismissed from office — and in April, Namphy took to his bed for a week suffering from ’exhaustion’.Henri Namphy, a hearty 53-year- old man with a disarming stutter, is no Duvalier — but he is no national leader either.“The trouble with Henri is that he doesn’t want to be president," explained his brother Joe, a local hotel-owner.“He doesn’t want to sell himself, but there’s no one else.” As a result, the government has virtually vanished from sight.ANTI-COMMUNIST A despairing U.S.diplomat recently remarked: “This government is not governing” — and this poses a severe problem for Washington, whose primary concern in Haiti is stability.‘Stability’, in the Haitian context, means being reliably anticommunist, for Cuba is just a short boat-ride across the Windward Passage.The Duvaliers have been a permanent embarrassment for Washington.Haiti is a nationwide slum with the worst poverty, the highest mortality and the lowest educational level in the western hemisphere, and it is all due to regimes for which the U.S.bears a direct responsibility.Even the Dominican Republic, which shares the same island, has four times the per capita income.Every American administration from Eisenhower to Reagan was willing to cooperate with the Duvaliers’ ghastly regime so long as it could ensure ’stability’, but if Haiti could now come up with a more presentable, pseudo-democratic regime like the one that has run the neighbouring Dominican Republic since the U.S.intervention in 1965, Washington would be delighted.Unfortunately, there is no such prospect in sight, and the present government is collapsing.MUCH FASTER Washington's favourite candidate for the succession is Marc Bazin, formerly a World Bank official, who boasts that “I’m the only one who can get the money Haiti needs, the one the Americans would feel most comfortable with.” But in popularity he lags far behind other returned exiles like the young left-wing journalist Compere Filo or Communist Party leader René Théodore.Given time to organize, the left would probably win an election.But there has not been a real election in 29 years in Haiti, and the military government is only hinting that it might hold one late next year.Events are moving much faster than that.The hand of the hard right is visible in events like the massacre in late April, when police opened fire on 3,000 demonstrators in the capital.The old Duvalier clique are making alliances in the army to pave the way for a coup that would bring them back to power, with or without American support, in the confident belief that Washington will fall into line if they can show they are firmly in control.“They’re very active," said Desroches.“If we fail, we know what will happen." But in fact nobody knows, for if the Duvalierists’ attempt at a come-back should also fail, the likeliest outcome is a brief but bloody civil war that would bring the left to power.As to which segment of the left — not even the Haitians have a clue. The RECORD—Tuesday, July 15.1986—5 Farm and Business ____fo-i UECora Alarms signals all is far from well with American trade deficit By Clyde Graham The Canadian Press For the first time in more than 20 years, the United States has bought more farm products than it has sold.In May the United States purchased agricultural products valued at $2.2 billion, but only exported $1.9 billion worth of grain, livestock and other farm produce.The trade deficit is the latest alarm bell warning that all is far from well in the world’s most powerful agricultural country.And once again Canadian farmers will be looking nervously south of the border to see how the United States will react.The news is widely expected to further sharpen the talons of the trade hawks in the U.s.Congress, who have been pressing for new measures to blast open markets for American farmers.“(The) announcement that the value of imports of agricultural products exceeded exports has focused more attention on U.S.export programs and policies,” says U.S.Wheat Associates, a powerful farm lobby in Washington.SURPLUS HUGE The United States is bulging with surplus food — from grain to butter — and the trade deficit isn't expected to sit well with congressmen from agricultural states.Many of those politicians have been pushing for subsidies to increase U.S.exports on one hand, and on the other hand for duties and other trade barriers to slow the influx of imports.Senate majority Leader Robert Dole has warned that unless the problems facing U.S.farmers ease, Congress could take legislative action in the next few weeks.The U.S.Department of Agriculture is also reviewing a program set up last year to win back world markets “stolen” by highly subsidized European farm products.With the current mood in Washington, that $l-billion three-year program could be expanded.U.S.Wheat Associates says the program could be extended to Chi-na — Canada’s second-largest wheat market.OFFER BARGAINS Under the program, American companies can receive government stocks of surplus farm Holstein club holds annual picnic By Claudia Villemaire COMPTON — The 1986 edition of the Provincial Holstein Club’s Annual picnic was a sell-out - in a manner of speaking - as over four thousand holstein breeders, their families and friends gathered here for a day full of things to do and people to see.The Pouliot family will long remember this year’s event which lavished them with special honors and gifts but more importantly exposed their remarkable herd and its accomplishments to club members from every corner of the province.“Today’s success is due in large part to the excellent site, which even features a natural amphitheatre, and the complete cooperation of the Sherbrooke club as well as the hosts’ family,” local club president Jean Guy Beaulieu commented.Complete with a stage and hundreds of bleachers installed on the natural slope of part of the Pouliot’s front lawn, guests of honor as well as the most noteworthy animals from the family herd were easily accomodated."The club is obviously strong and active,” Jocelyn Deschenes, Chicoutimi breeder and provincial president said.“We have nearly 4.000 members across the province.I would guess that today about half that number turned out with family and friends.It seems as though we get a few more at the picnic each year and to me that means the club is strong and growing." Michel Pagé, Provincial Minister of Agriculture spent the noon-hour on the site.“The Pouliot’s accomplishments in the field of milk production alone are outstanding.But when we look at the genetic improvement in type through the years as well as the outstanding milk records, I can fully appreciate the tremendous input of human resources.That is what a family farm is all about - a firm committment to a chosen profession and unwavering dedication by every member of the family towards that choice.In this case agriculture, more particularly milk production and improved animal quality, were and are the goals which will continue to be priorities through the Pouliot’s two sons who have now officially joined the family enterprise.” Interclub showmanship and judging competitions brought delegates from every club in the province.A puppet show for kids of all ages as well as displays and an open invitation to tour the stables and feed mixing rooms kept people busy all day.A supper mechoui followed by an evening of dancing ended a full day and another successful provincial club picnic.The cream of the crop.Seventeen examples of many gement were shown to a capacity crowd at Ferme years of carefull breeding and excellent herd mana- Séjour last Sunday.Lina, queen of the Pouliot herd, has a producing index of +10 +9.Pagé says no way MRCs will get Bill 90 By Claudia Villemare COMPTON — “We must not forget that the principle of these laws is good,” Michel Pagé, Provincial Minsiter of Agriculture commented when questioned about recent recommendations in both the Gobeil report and the Scowen papers.Pagé, at the Pouliot farm Sunday during the Provincial Holstein Club Picnic made it clear that Gobeil’s recomendations that MRC’s look after Bill 90, would not be a serious consideration nor would there be any major changes in the basic principles of the law.“We cannot go rushing in to cancel laws or even modify them without a great deal of study.And we must first of all realize these laws are based on a real need, for example the protection of agricultural territory,” Pagé said.“In the agri-food industry, there will be many sectors which the government will turn over to private enterprise.This does not mean we are undertaking a privatization program.Nor are we going to tear apart everything the Agriculture Marketing Board has set up.Our actions mean certain programs are either ended or at least the government’s involvement is no longer necessary, its mandate is done.Perhaps many people don’t realize this.” “For instance, the law has been changed already allowing producers to make a choice in the matter of joining their producers union, the UPA, or not.On the other hand, producers should join and support their union just as in any other industry.Perhaps this is another fact many people are not aware of.” Pagé was reassuring in so far as radical changes in the laws goerning agriculture.“Rest assured there will be no drastic deregulation or radical, sudden changes.On the other hand, there are many areas which are badly in need of study and revision We are well started from this point of view but we must go slowly and carefully,” he said.Pagé, accompanied by his family spent several hours visiting the Pouliot farm.Also on hand was Monique Gagnon-Tremblay, Ministère de la Status de la Femme and Francois Gerin, Member for Megantic Compton.MASSAWIPPI VALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting ot the Shareholders of Massawippi Valley Railway Company will be held on Wednesday.the 3rd day ot September.1986.at the hour ot 11 30 o'clock in the forenoon, in The Conference Room.Room 155, Windsor Station, Montreal.Quebec, for presentation of the financial statements of the Company, the election of Directors;

Bertrand stressed the importance of county fairs both as a community tradition and a showcase of agriculture."Our city-grown young people have no idea what agriculture is really all about.The county and regional fairs play a very important role and must be kept going." The show ring, measuring 60 by 160 feet will have many functions, according to president Grant Payne.“We will be able to offer this facility for auctions, breed days or rent storage space in winter.The building is high enough and large enough to even show some types of hitch classes here and who knows what other uses we could find for it,” Payne added.Other improvements are also underway at Brome.Restaurant booths under the grandstand will be moved to another new building and there will also be new eating accomodation near the old showring.“The old booths were a fire hazard and not always the cleanest," said past-president Rod Crandall.“We knew a long time ago we would have to do something but grant money is always hard to get,” Crandall smiled.Apparently the $95,000 dollar grant for these recent improvements came through after long delays and almost gave grounds and building committee members apoplexy.“When we got the word the grant was coming, we were also given a time delay to accomplish the work as this particular government program would end the 1st of March, 1986.Plans were finalized late last fall and we were obliged to complete the building before the end of February.It wasn't easy but we accomplished all the construction during the winter months,” said Crandall “With every body giving a hand, we did it.And it’s a happy crowd we have here tonight.This covered showring has been a dream for many years.There’s no doubt it will give the fair a good boost as Mother Nature won’t stop us from putting on a good show in the animal judging sections anyway,” Crandall concluded.A giant barbecue and dancing until the wee hours finished the official opening off with a flourish and rumour has it the event, minus the ribbon cutting, could become an annual affair.ON SALE: July 16 and 17, 1986 While quantities last Box Of 48 Extra Absorbency #2 m m w 'ampers rv/ ««h.mc mw* his Box Of 40 Super Absorbency Box Of 60 Newborn Size Pampers Disposable Diapers With New Stay-Dry Waist Shield And One-Step Refastenable Tapes We reserve the right to limit quantities.Carrefour de l'Estrie Galeries Quatre Saisons Take Charge Wrlh Your Zellers Credit Account I 6—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 15, 1986 Living Pregnant women have some pretty flaky dreams sometimes OTTAWA (CP) - A pregnant woman who has any misgivings about childbirth might as well say goodbye to sweet dreams.Pregnant women who appear happy and well-adjusted are sometimes terrified about the experience and that fear is reflected in their dreams, says Dr.Patricia Maybruck, a women's psychologist from California.Maybruck studied some 1,000 dreams of 67 pregnant women and found that more than 95 per cent of them related to their pregnancies.“That’s perfectly natural," she ,told a recent Carleton University conference on dreams.“Having a human being inside you tends to dominate your thoughts when you’re awake and consequently when you’re asleep.” But 73 per cent of the dreams contained threatening images such as death, war, fire, terminal disease, monsters coming out of their bodies and strangers attacking them, her study showed.“The percentage was much higher than 1 was expecting, and higher than other studies have showm,” she said.Maybruck explained these women were “worried about this new thing inside them, about possible complications, about how the child might affect the marriage and about how their husband sees them.” She says she can only make educated guesses about what the dreams mean after discussing them with the woman, but a clear pattern does emerge.“It doesn't take a genius to figure out that these women are scared.” She says many women dream of being caught in storms on a sea where the rain pours and serpents attack them.“When you talk about these dreams with them, without prompting they figure out it must be reference to their water breaking and their fear that their delivery will get out of control.” And over half the women studied reported waking up with anxiety symptoms like shortness of breath.Maybruck speculates that the prevalence of nightmare-images may be because pregnant women today are immersed in medical technology.“They go to birth classes, they see films of birth full of blood and screaming, and they hear in gra- phic detail about all the medical things that can go wrong,” she says.“Western society still treats pregnancy very clinically and abstractly.Things have improved but pregnant women are still treated as case histories rather than people.” Doctors should be careful not to play down their dreams and the fears they represent.“Too many doc tors ( respond ) w ith a ‘ don ’ t worry, dear, you’ll forget about it’ attitude,” says Maybruck.“That has to change.” Common dreams shared by women who already had children involved the fear of sibling rivalry.“Many women have dreams in which a ferocious animal attacks their first child and they have to fight it off.When you discuss the dreams, they realize they reflect the fear of how the new baby will affect the one they have.” Dreams where husbands were present showed the men as loving and supportive 68 per cent of the time, she says.Of the women studied, most were in the mid-term of their pregnancy and roughly 70 per cent were firsttime mothers.Pregnancy puts quite a mental strain on women at times.4* : ¦/ Firefighters DO care about fighting fires Dear Ann Landers : 1 ha ve been a firefighter for five years.I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone say, “It took those firemen 20 minutes to get here.” Actually, the average response time in our city is five to seven minutes.The other famous line is, “Why are those firemen just standing around’’ Don’t they care?" The fact is we DO care or we would have taken easier jobs.When you see firefighters standing around you can be sure there are plenty of us working inside and taking a beating.Those standing around are there to relieve the ones who drop from exhaustion.Do you have any idea what it is like to be a firefighter?Let me tell you.You go into a building that may have been torched by some creep who was paid a few bucks by an owner anxious to collect the insurance or someone thought it would be a good way to get back at a person he didn't like.Or, even worse, a little kid was left unattended and decided to play with matches.You get inside after most likely climbing three or four staircases.Sometimes it’s eight or 10 flights while wearing 30 pounds of gear and equipment.Once inside you search for people.The first place you have to look is where the fire is and you can’t see your hand in front of your face Have you ever been in a room full of fire?I have.The heat is so intense is feels like someone is squeezing your earlobes with a pair of pliers.The temperature is so high you become instantly soaked right down to your shorts.When you’ve done the best you can and your body gives out, you have to find the strength to get outside.You thank the Lord that you made it.Now all those firemen who are “just standing around” take over where you left off, until the job is done.If you’re lucky you don’t fall through a floor or have a wall or a ceiling cave in on you.The worst is when we have to carry out the dead - especially children.It tears the heart right out of you, especially when a parent survives and sees these kids.I hope you will print this letter in your column, Ann.There’s a lot more to our job than sitting around and playing cards.Just sign me — J.D.New York Dear J.Ü.: Thanks for a wonderful letter.Recently I saw a Chicago firefighter on the news.He was at the scene of a fire where six people died.The man was sobbing, He kept repeating, “It was awful.There was nothing we could do to save them.” It brought home to me what a difficult job these people have.I say God bless the firefighters all over the world.They are truly heroes - often unsung and underappreciated.Dear Ann Landers: Why do people make such comments as, “Gee, you look tired.Do you feel OK?" As far as I'm concerned they 31st anniversary Jenny and Bern Gendron celebrate their 31st wedding anniversary on Wednesday, July 16.Louise, Peter and Allen extend best wishes and congratulations on this happy occasion.Ann Landers might as well say, “You look lousy.” It’s the same thing.I was feeling terrific yesterday until a friend made that kind of remark.It took hours before I was able to shake it off.Comment, please.— K.B.In Van Nuys Dear K.B.: People who make such remarks are either insensitive, stupid, thoughtless, mean-spirited or all of the above.If it happens again, say, “Thanks for the day-brightener,” and keep walking.Dear Ann Landers: I read this in USA Today.I hope you think it is worth running in your column.— R.J.in N.J.Dear R.J.: I do, indeed.Here it is.My son was pronounced brain dead in January 1985.He was a healthy 23-year-old.The staff at a small hospital in Western Kentucky was most kind.The decision to donate the organs was made by myself and five children.I could not save my son, but because of his death, two people can now see thanks to cornea transplants.A man in his 50s in Kentucky has a new heart and can enjoy his family again.A man in his 30s in Texas and one in New York have kidneys that will enable them to live productive lives.In my sons’s death, five human beings were given the greatest gift of all, a life of independence and dignity.I am so happy my son was able to be of service to so many people even though he was cut down in his prime.He was a giving sort of person and would have been the first to agree with our decision to donate his organs.If I have any regrets, it is that I was not given the names of the people who received the organs.I was told only that the transplants were a success.I think of them often and wonder how they are doing.Knowing my son, I can smile, for if the recipients have a desire to travel, play the guitar, and go to Western Kentucky it is nothing to worry about.It's just something they inherited.Dear R.J.: Thank you for providing me with yet another opportunity to urge my readers to write to the Living Bank for their donor cards and instructions.The address: The Living Bank, P.O.Box 6725, Houston, TX 77265.Please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.Dear Ann Landers: The man who invited eight different women to sleep in with him (under his parents’ roof) reminded me of the family cat who drops its mice at the feet of its owners.It seems to me the mother and father of this young fellow should try to understand why their son needs to bring his conquests home.Could be perhaps be letting them know that even though he was dumped by his college sweetheart, he is still considered desirable by others?Instead of telling him to take his women friends elsewhere for romantic interludes, his parents should be building up his shattered self-esteem by telling him they think he is terrific and they are proud of him, no matter what.— New Orleans Fan Dear New O.: Your point is well taken.Perhaps the parents should attempt to bolster the young man's sagging ego, not “instead of” but in addition to instructing him to take his female friends elsewhere for the night.If you recall, they were embarrassed by his shamelessness, and it is their house.Dear Ann landers : I felt a strong kinship to the woman who wrote to say how uncomfortable she felt when the hostess in the restaurant asked, “Just one of you?” I, too, am “just one of me” and there are millions of others who are also alone.But what are widows and divorcees supposed to do?Hide?I hate to cook for just myself.Being out among others helps overcome the loneliness.I feel as if I am part of the living world when I am people-watching.I love to see folks chat, laugh and enjoy themselves.Please stand up for us, Ann.We are lonely a lot.— Another Singleton In Vancouver.Dear Van: I did, but I’ll do it again.Look! I’m standing! I'm standing! Dear Ann Landers: I just read the article about the woman who succeeded in getting her husband to get counseling for his cocaine problem.I have another story that your readers should see.About a year ago, cocaine became the “in" drug for members of our social set.A few of my friends started snorting just to try it out.They liked it and pretty soon all they cared about was another fix.I was afraid to try it but wdien I did I like the rush it gave me.Coke can make someone who never says a word come outof his shell.I came out of mine for about 20 minutes.Then paranoia took over and I slipped off into a corner so I wouldn't have to say a word to anybody.I got so jittery I couldn’t sit still fora minute.In the morning I woke up with my jaws aching because my ground my teeth all night.I also felt drained and had a stomach ache that wouldn’t quit.I kept asking myself why is the world I would take $200 from my bank account to wake up sick and have nothing to show for it.A friend of mine who was 20 years old mainlined coke until his veins were shot.He couldn’t pay his rent, lost his wife and family and stole from his friends.No one knew how deep he was into it until he killed himself.Please print this letter to let people know this is not advice from their parents.(That stuff goes in one ear and out the other.) This is a warming from a friend.— Still Mourning In Norfolk, Va.Dear Norfolk: Thousand of others are mourning, too.Cocaine is now the drug of choice among the middle-class as well as the affluent.It kills the soul and the spirit and then it destroys the victims who thought they’d try it for kicks.Thanks for yet another story from someone who was there.To thank you for your support we are still offering complete water beds starting at $259.00 NEW HOURS To serve you better we are now open Monday to Friday 9 30a m -9 00pm .Saturdays 9:30 a m.- 4:00 p m 177 Queen Street Lennoxville 821-2299 Pig-out on Pork Loin and Red Wine Here is an easy supper dish, making use of left-over ham.Thanks to a Knowlton Kitchen Korner friend for this and others following.Ham and Noodles Vz cup butter, softened IVi tablespoons curry powder Vz lb.ham in julienne strips 1 cup light cream noodles for 6 persons Cook noodles according to package instructions.Melt V4 cup butter, add curry and ham.Cook until well heated (about 4 minutes), then add noodles then cream and remaining butter.Season with salt and pepper to taste.Serve immediately, or store in refrigerator and reheat in a covered casserole.Serves 4-6.Pork Loin in Red Wine 3-4 lbs.pork loin Vs cup parsley, choppeu Vs cup onion, chopped 1 bay leaf 2 cups red wine 1 cup canned beef consomme salt and pepper sage nutmeg 1 clove garlic, crushed 6-8 new potatoes, peeled Rub the roast with salt, pepper, sage and nutmeg.Place the roast and garlic in a skillet and brown the roast on all sides.Place the roast in a roasting pan; add the wine, consomme, onions, bay leaf, parsley and new potatoes.Bake for 2 hours 20 minutes in a 350 deg.F.oven, turning the meat occasionally.Serves 4.Our reader says this next comes from the day of clipper ships in New England.Kay's kitchen korner BY KAY TAYLOR Captain's Chicken 2 chickens, cut in serving pieces Vs cup flour 2 teaspoons salt Vi teaspoon pepper 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large onion, chopped 1 large green pepper, chopped 1 large clove garlic, crushed 3 teaspoons curry powder 1 can (1 lb.) tomatoes, quartered Vi cup raisins Combine flour, salt and pepper in a bag.Shake chicken in the flour mixture, a few pieces at a time.Brown chicken in oil in a heavy skillet.Place in a 200 deg.F.oven.Add onion, green pepper, garlic and curry powder to the skillet with the pan drippings.Sauté until the onion is transparent.Add tomatoes, raisins, and then chicken.Simmer, covered, for one hour, or until the chicken is tender.Arrange chicken on rice before serving and spoon sauce over the top.Serves 8.This one is rich - delicious!

Action adopted for disabled persons By Kay Taylor On December 3, 1982, after the highly successful international Year of Disabled Persons, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously proclaimed 1983 to 1992 as the U.N.Decade of Disabled Persons and adopted the World Programme of Action Concerning Disabled Persons + for implementation by every member nation consistent with its stage of development and the nature of its society.The World Programme of Action urges the U.N.and its agencies, nations, organizations, communities, institutions and people of goodwill everywhere to achieve Decade goals.The following ten points are based on the World Programme of Action 1.Increase participation of disabled persons, in social, cultural, religious, recreational and community life, and in decision making at all levels.2.Expand education, training and job opportunities.3.Remove all barriers - achitectu-ral, transportation, communications and legal - to full participation and equalization of opportunity.4.Increase acceptance of disabled persons through communication and education programs.5.Prevent disabling diseases and conditions through expanded immunization and improved environmental, occupational and other health programs.6.Prevent disabling accidents at home, at work, on the road.Everywhere.7.Restore sight, hearing, movement and communication to disabled persons through increased access to known appropriate measures.8.Expand community-based rehabilitation services and self-help programs involving disabled persons and their family members.9.Conquer or cure major disabling conditions through greater and more purposeful application of biomedical research.10.Involve everyone - disabled and non-disabled, young and old, rich and poor, men and women, from every country, culture and creed -in cooperative efforts at local, national, regional and international levels to conquer or prevent disability and release human potential for the benefit of

to survive and yet be physically paralysed.It is only in the last 30 to 40 years that major medical changes have allowed a person not only to survive such a trauma, but also to be able to enjoy relati ve-ly good health.One of the major goals of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour is to create a fund for the financing of spinal cord research and rehabilitation programs.Medical research has shown that the mean longevity of spinal cord injured people has doubled since 1958.Improvements in the care and treatment of these people have reached the point that cardiovascular causes may now be the number one cause of death for spinal cord injured people.The International Fund created as a result of Rick Hansen's tour will address both the needs for research and rehabilitation.Outlined below is the policy set by the Man in Motion World Tour’s Board of Directors for the management of the fund created.1.The annual interest from the total trust fund will be divided into two major categories.- 50% for spinal cord research; - 50% for wheel- chair sport, rehabilitation awareness, 2.All applications for the spinal cord research category will be solicited on a Canadian and international basis, and selection will be made without bias to geographical area.3.All grant recipients for spinal cord research will be evaluated on an annual basis by a committee of national and international doctors, researchers, scientists and other experts, in the field of spinal cord rehabilitation, selected by the Board of Directors of the Rick Hansen Men in Motion World Tour Trust Fund.4.All grant recipients for wheelchair sport, rehabilitation and awareness, will be evaluated on an annual basis by a national committee of experts in Wheelchair Sports, Rehabilitation and Awareness, selected by the Board of Directors of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour Fund.5.The Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour Trust Fund will be managed financially by the British Columbia Paraplegic Foundation.Donations may be sent to Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour, Station “L” Vancouver, B.C.V6P 6L9.(All donations fully tax deductible.A receipt will be issued to acknowledge your generosity.) United Church Women hold regular meeting By Kay Taylor Rick Hansen — “In Pursuit of a Dream and a Better Life for Others.” When a car accident at the age of 15 years changed him from an active teen into a paraplegic, Rick Hansen had tremendous doubts about his future.“I thought my life was over.I thought I’d spend the rest of my life in a hospi-tal being taken care of by nurses.” Rick has come a long way since those days.and now, at the age of 28, he is taking a very special message to able and disabled people around the world.Rick Hansen is wheeling around the world, a total of 24,901 miles (40,073 km) to make everyone aware of the capabilities of disabled people.to raise funds for the spinal cord research, rehabilitation and wheelchair sports.and to show the benefit of sport as a form of rehabilitation.“I believe that one day the wheelchair will be a thing of the past" says Rick.“I think that w-e will find the key to repair spinal cord injuries and disorders”.As for rehabilitation, Rick wants people with spinal cord problems to take heart from what he learned.“It was just a matter of understanding that life can still go on, that it was not the end of the world.and that I could still pursue what is in my heart”.Rick left Vancouver, B.C.in March 1985, and after travelling 16,000 miles through the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand, Australia and the Far East, he will return to North America in Legion News DANVILLE (JE) — The Royal Canadian Legions Branch no.41, Grove Street, Danville - “Flea Market”.Every year we have our Flea Market on the First Saturday of October grom 10 a m.to 5 p.m'.Talk about it with your family and friends and prepare yourself throughout the summer.It’s a date October 4.For information, call Jean Baker, 839-3230 or H.Pelletier, 839-2309.Horseshoes is also a sport played every Tuesday night at the Legion.Feel free to drop in and enjoy yourself.the early summer (1986) and begin the homeward wheel from Miami to Maine and across Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia.By the time he has completed his journey, he will have wheeled through 33 countries in an almost two year trek.In every country he has visited so far, Rick has been met with a warm welcome and a tremendous response.helping handicapped groups in each country raise funds for their programs.creating a wonderful awareness for able-bodied and encouragement for disabled.As he wheels home across Canada later this year, he hopes to raise a Ten Million Dollar fund for spinal cord research, rehabilitation and wheelchair sports.If you want to help Rick achieve this worthwhile goal, send your donation to The Man in Motion Fund, P.O.Box 13132, Vancouver, B.C.V6B 4W6.A few telexes at random, showing how' Rick captures the hearts of people around the world.In every country visited he is received with warmth and admiration.“.throughout his Tour in Belgium, Hansen was continually swamped by journalists, photographers.and local and national TV stations.media were fascinated without a doubt by Hansen’s strong personality, impressive dignity and humanitarian spirit.” Canadian Embassy, Belgium July 1985.”.tour can only be described as overwhelming success.Tour also opened door for Canada to many new contacts in Poland.and possibly a new type of exchange between the two countries.Tour sparked such great interest that Press Conference was extended 40 minutes beyond scheduled one hour .Canadian Embassy, Warsaw, Poland September 1985.“Rick’s ten-day wheel through Poland was a truly remarkable event.He will have left a legacy of admiration, sympathy and determination which will enhance our mutual understanding that to be disabled is never to be counted out and that much is to be gained from mutual support and shared experiences in all fields of endeavour."
