The Canadian Press Painted shadows marked city streets Wednesday as Canadians gathered to remember the horror of the first use of an atomic explosion in wartime — the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima 41 years ago.The ceremonies were echoes of those held at the site of ground zero itself, where 78,000 to 140,000 people died on Aug.6, 1945, when the 20-kilotonne bomb was dropped from a United States bomber named Enola Gay.In Vancouver, a service of remembrance was held at the old courthouse on Robson Square, with paper crane-folding a Japanese symbol for peace and the painting of shadows on the streets to represent the shadows left by those incinerated in the blast.Overnight, a group called The Inter national Shadow Project fanned out across Vancouver and left 1,986 such silhouettes.At dockside, a small flotilla of boats on the water and about 25 pickets on land greeted two visiting U.S.Navy ships as they entered Burrard Inlet.The protesters claimed the vessels had nuclear capability.Outlines of the human form appeared in the streets of Montreal also, and groups handed out peace pamphlets on downtown corners.At night, an inter-faith memorial service was scheduled with a wreath to be placed at a cenotaph TAKES CHILDREN Gwynne Basen explained why she planned to attend with her children Ariel, 7, and Rose, 3.“They are too young to understand what is going on,” she said.“But it will counterbalance the influence of television programs and war toys.” Last year in Montreal, police ar- rested 89 of 150 shadow painters on public mischief charges.Their cases have yet to be heard In Toronto, the focus of the remembrance was the Peace Garden outside City Hall where participants had been asked to show up with pictures of loved ones.The photographs will be made into a montage to be sent to Douglas Roche, Canada’s ambassador for disarmament.The featured speaker, retired Maj.-Gen.Leonard Johnson, in a speech prepared for delivery at the ceremony, noted that the cenotaph at Hiroshima says, “Rest in peace — the mistake will not be repeated,” yet the superpowers continue to build up their nuclear arsenals.population does not fall.Currently 20,000 immigrants a year settle in Quebec.LOSES MORE The report says Quebec loses between 5,000 and 10,000 people more a year than it gains, most of them non-francophones.The government shoud find out why people leave the province, particularly what role the language issue plays in their departure, the authors say.The Conseil also said Quebec should negotiate with Ottawa to get full responsibility and budget for language training of immigrants.It also recommends that refugees without status should be allowed to follow French courses pending their hearings.Courses should be longer than the current 30 weeks, more flexible and better geared to absorbing newcomers into the Quebec mainstream, the report says.As well, Quebecers must be “more conscious of the importance of immigrants for (the province’s) demographic future so they’ll be betterprepared to accept them.” Language courses for English Quebecers should be improved and made more accessible so they too can learn to master Quebec’s official language, the report says.The study also dound that the number of Quebecers unable to speak French fell to 7.5 per cent in 1981 from 11.6 percent in 1971 — a situation the board attributed primarily to the emigration of nonfrancophones to other parts of Canada.The report was prepared for Lise Bacon, minister in charge of Quebec’s French-language charter, also known as Bill 101.11PIÏ18I Long inspection delays Pretoria cracks down on transported goods From Reuters-AP BEIT BRIDGE, South Africa (CP) — South Africa has begun slowing the flow of exports from Zambia and Zimbabwe, black states at the forefront of the campaign for sanctions against Pretoria.Since Monday, trucks and trains ferrying goods from the two countries for transit through South Afri-ca have been subject to time-consuming inspections, said freight agents at this key border post.The Beit Bridge across the Limpopo River is the only border crossing with Zimbabwe and a vital trade conduit for black states heavily dependent on South Africa.Supplies of coffee, tea, tobacco and Zambian copper had been directed to the nearby town of Messina and some to Pretoria rail station for inspection, the freight agents said.A Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman said the new measures are an attempt by the South African government “to obtain a statistical picture of the nature and extent of traffic from certain neighboring states” to our ports,” he said.The survey is currently limited to Zambia and Zimbabwe.Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland — members of a customs union with South Africa — were excluded because South Africa already had “fairly comprehensive statistics” on these countries, the spokesman said.On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Pik Botha announced tighter trade controls with black states, which he said would make Zambia and Zimbabwe “put their money where their mouth is.” AGREEMENT SIGNED The Trade and Industry Ministry said Wednesday that Zimbabwe had signed a new preferential trade agreement with Pretoria only days before this week’s Commonwealth summit, which clamped new sanctions on Pretoria.Zambia and Zimbabwe are among six countries that voted at a Commonwealth meeting to impose sanctions because of apartheid.South Africa’s Trade and Industry Minister Dawie de Villiers said Wednesday night that South Africa should stop releasing detailed information on its international trade.“If an economic war is to be waged against us, then we are bound .to become less talkative about these issues, lest we jeopardize our own position,” he told a meeting in Durban.Meanwhile, Finance Minister Barend du Plessis said Pretoria would be forced to introduce “protective measures” if substantial sanctions were implemented against it.He said sanctions could affect South Africa’s ability to repay its $24 billion US foreign debt.And the main business federation of white Afrikaners, Afri-kaanse Handelsinstitut, said some measures agreed to at the Commonwealth meeting “were taken to promote the economic interests of other countries such as Canada and Australia,” both of which were represented.The government-controlled South African Broadcasting Corp.said South Africa is not a major supplier of uranium, coal, iron and steel.But “major suppliers are amongst the chief advocates for their inclusion on the list of sanctions.Canada, for example, is the second biggest producer of uranium in the western world, with about 20 per cent of the West’s output.” In another development, the go vernment’s Bureau for Informa tion said two black men were bur ned to death in the first serious po litical violence this week.The bu reau’s reports are hard to verify because of strict media curbs under a state of emergency.U.K., U.S.A., can’t hold out, says Tutu HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — South African Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu said today Britain and the United States can no longer resist mounting world opinion against apartheid.U.S.President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher have opposed stiff economic sanctions as a way to force the South African government to end its racial segregation system, but now face growing calls for the measures from other countries and their own citizens.“It seems clear now that they cannot hold out against this fight, (this) moral force,” Tutu said in an interview after attending memorial services for victims of the 1945 U.S.atomic bombing of Hiroshima.Tutu, the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner, said the current consideration of sanctions by the U.S.Congress “proves people can make a difference by affecting the moral climate.” “In 1984, if you said Congress would be dealing with sanctions, people would have said you’re crazy, but because of all these (antiapartheid) young people.the president had to make an executive order.” SANCTIONS IMPOSED On Sept.9, 1985, Reagan, under mounting congressional pressure, imposed limited sactions against South Africa.They included bans on the import of kruggerand gold coins, on U.S.bank loans to the Pretoria government and its agencies, on computer sales to South African agencies that enforce apartheid, on U.S.exports of nuclear technology to South Africa, and on the import of South African military equipment.Those measures would be written into law under legislation endorsed last week by the Senate foreign relations committee, which included additional sanctions.The Senate bill calls for dropping the sanctions if South Africa meets certain requirements, such as starting negotiations with the country’s black representatives.Tutu’s statements followed a Commonwealth mini-summit in London that ended Tuesday, in which Britain endorsed limited sanctions and six other countries — Canada, Australia, the Bahamas, India, Zambia and Zimbabwe — adopted harsher measures against South Africa to protest its racial policies.By law and custom, apartheid establishes a racially segregated society in which South Africa’s black majority has no vote in national affairs.The country’s five million whites control the economy and maintain separate districts, schools and health services for the 24 million blacks.Townshippers remember too, see today’s coverage on page Apples could hit $1 a piece following scramble in market By Dennis Bueckert MONTREAL (CP) — The price of Granny Smith apples is skyrocketing because of the international campaign against apartheid in South Africa, says Canada’s largest fruit importer."Fruit people are desperate for Granny Smith apples,” said Barbara Burman, director of public relations for Fisher Brothers International, which was the sole importer of South African fruit to Canada until last month when it cut the connection.“They’ll pay anything for them.” Fisher Brothers — a privately-held company which does not release its financial figures — represented Canada on two key South African fruit marketing boards, but decided to withdraw in July because of political and public concern about apartheid.“This will cost us millions of dollars," Burman said in an interview Wednesday.“Ships (with cargoes of South African fruit) have been diverted to Europe, and we lose that profit.” AGREE ON BAN Six Commonwealth nations agreed this week to ban South African agricultural imports.Canada expects to have its ban in place by early October but Burman said Canadian buyers have already begun scrambling for alternative sources.The wholesale price of a case of Granny Smith apples has risen to more than $50 from $18-$22 in the last month and this will be reflec- ted in the prices paid by consumers, she added.Burman predicted the price will rise to almost $1 per apple this season, whereas a whole kilogram of apples sold in supermarkets for about $2 as recently • as a month ago.A number of other countries also produce Granny Smith apples, but they won’t be able to meet demand this summer, she said."New Zealand is already sold out.They must be ecstatic (because of the surge in prices).Chile and Argentina are near the end of their season.” She said there will be Granny Smith apples from France and Washington State in the fall, but the quality won’t be what consumers are used to. 2—The RECORD—Thursday.August 7, 1986 Stevens was involved with company while a member of cabinet By Jim Coyle TORONTO (CF) — Sinclair Stevens was trying to reorganize and refinance his ailing business empire while in the federal cabinet, a judicial inquiry heard Wednesday.Mel Leidcrman, partner in a Toronto firm of chartered accountants, said he met twice with the former industry minister and his wife, Noreen, attheirToronto-area farm during the last 18 months to discuss private business.The inquiry, headed by Mr.Justice William Parker, is in its fourth week of public hearings into conflict-of-interest allegations against Stevens.Leiderman, whose notes on the two weekend meetings were introduced as evidence, said Stevens was the main source of refinancing proposals for York Centre Corp.during a March 16, 1985 meeting.A second meeting April 13, 1986 — arranged by Stevens’s assistant Shirley Walker a month before he quit the cabinet — also involved refinancing but dealt primarily with ‘various inter-company loans” and plans to “clean up” outstanding balances, Leiderman testified.KNEW OF PROBLEMS Leiderman said he bought to the meetings documents outlining the financial status of the faltering York Centre empire and found the Stevenses knowledgeable about the affairs of the firms and the desperate need for money.Outstanding bank loans and overdrafts for York Centre were reduced to about $3.2 million by 1985 from $5.7 million a year earlier, Leiderman said, noting there was also a drop in shareholder equity and an increased net loss.Stevens, appointed minister of regional industrial expansion in September 1984, resigned May 12 after allegations he breached conflict guidelines by keeping tabs on and managing his blind trust holdings.One allegation is that Mrs.Stevens — acting for one of the family firms —obtained a $2.6-million, interest-free loan from an officer of a company which did business with Stevens’s department.Mrs.Stevens borrowed the money in May 1985 from Anton Czapka, a minority shareholder and director of Magna International Inc., an auto parts company that received lucrative federal grants.DENIED CONFLICT Stevens, whose portfolio was filled in a July 1 cabinet shuffle, has denied a conflict, noting the blind trust and saying he had no knowledge of his wife’s transactions.Stevens placed his controlling interest in Gill Construction Ltd.— through which he controlled York Centre — in a blind trust in October 1984.Under federal conflict guidelines, he was to have had no role in managing or controlling the companies.Leiderman testified he was never advised Stevens was to dissociate himself from private business while in cabinet.The accountant said there was no difference in his relationship with York Centre — and its conglomerate of real es- tate, energy and financial services firms — after Stevens was appointed industry minister.Notes from the first meeting — both lasted about l'/i hours — showed extensive discussions about possible sources of financing for York Centre in Britain and specific proposals for reorganizing its subsidiaries: Georgian Trust and Life Assurance Co., Sentry Oil and Gas Ltd.and Royal Cougar Services Ltd.Leiderman’s notes show the second meeting dealt with proposals for complicated inter-company transactions aimed at exchanging debt for equity.Schroeder had hoped new heart would last 10 years News-in-brief LOUISVILLE, Ky.(AP) — William Schroeder had hoped to gain 10 years of life with an artificial heart, but he died Wednesday after 20 months.He was 54.The plastic and metal pump he once likened to "an old-time threshing machine” kept him alive for 620 days.The second of five permanent artificial heart recipients, Schroeder lived the longest with the implant and was the last to die.Dr.William DeVries, who implanted Schroeder’s Jarvik-7 heart on Nov.25, 1984, said he will remember Schroeder’s battle to stay alive.‘‘It’s incredible to look at him and all these times we thought the heart would be the thing that would finish him off,” said DeVries.“But he kept alive throughout it and a lot of that was due to his personal strength and his attitude.” Schroeder's death followed the fourth series of strokes he suffered since the implant.He appeared lethargic Monday night and Tuesday morning, stopped breathing and was resuscitated, DeVries said.His family decided earlier they did not want him on a respirator, and when he stopped breathing again on Wednesday, nothing was done to revive him.He died with his six children and wife Margaret gathered around, said Donna Hazle, a spokesman for Humana Hospital Audubon.Schroeder went to the hospital in 1984 suffering from cardiomyopathy, a wéakening of the heart muscle, and was given no chance of survival.After the operation, Schroeder said he felt he could live another 10 years and looked forward to seeing his grandchildren and returning home to Jasper, Ind.Family members said they would cherish memories Schroeder gave them since the implant.Flood damaged towns won’t get as much QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec resi-dents'and municipalities whose property is damaged by flooding will soon be forced to assume a greater part of the cost, Supply and Services Minister Gilles Roche-leau said Wednesday.Cabinet will soon be asked to issue a decree changing the way compensation is paid, he said.The new rules will retroactively affect claims of about $6 million the government received last spring following flooding in the Eastern Townships and the Beauce regions.Under the old regulations, the Quebec government would have assumed about $4 million of the damages, said Rocheleau.Once the decree is passed, the government will pay a maximum of $2 million.Municipalities will now be expected to carry damage costs equal to $1 per citizen, he said.Structures that are not considered essential, such as arenas or marinas, will no longer be eligible for government compensation.Citizens will now be responsible for damages equal to four per cent of the evaluation of a residence.Tenants will be responsible for the equivalent of two months’ rent before the government disburses any compensation funds.The new limitations on compensation as a result of floods or other natural disasters are part of government cuts, Rocheleau said.Nuclear plant in Turkey hasn’t fallen through OTTAWA (CP) — An official of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.has denied reports that a proposal to build Turkey’s first nuclear power plant has fallen through.But the government-owned agency can’t say for sure the $1-billion project is going ahead either because of financing complications, Ron Veilleux, AECL’s vice-president of government affairs, acknowledged Wednesday.Veilleux was reacting to a report out of Ankara by Reuters news agency in which diplomatic sources were quoted as saying the project has fallen apart after a disagreement betw’een the Turkish and Canadian governments over financing.AECL signed an agreement with Turkey last year to build the plant at Akkuyu on Turkey's south coast.But Ottawa refrained from any sort of state guarantee in the finan- cing.AECL’s share of the project would be $750 million and the costs were to be repaid through electricity fees over 15 years.Ottawa has since proposed some sort of assistance in the financing.The conditions are still being studied by the Turkish government.But Reuters quoted one envoy as saying “without a radical change of heart by the Turkish government the project is dead.” Veilleux refused to reveal what the conditions were.Reuters said that Ankara has already rejected a key Canadian condition in which AECL would recover its costs in two years instead of 15.Without Ottawa’s state guarantee, the international banking community has been wary of offering loans to meet AECL’s $750-million share of the project, the diplomats said.#1___ttal lEccora GeorQo

from a local credit union.An unmasked French-speaking man entered the Caisse Populaire de Nouvelle at about 2 p.m.Tuesday, ordered the staff and customers to sit on chairs, and helped himself to the contents of cashiers’ trays and the vault.The robber, who detained 22 people, is described as being in his early 20s with short, dark hair, about five-foot-five, and about 140 pounds.Witnesses said he fled on foot.Wrong solution given patients HALIFAX (CP) — Two patients who died shortly after routine surgery at a Cape Breton hospital were given the wrong intravenous solution to compensate for blood loss, an expert anesthetist told a medical discipline hearing Wednesday.The evidence came on the fifth day of a public inquiry into charges of incompetence and professional misconduct against Dr.Lloyd MacKenzie, Dr.John Kirkpatrick, and Dr.David Bell, who acted as anesthetists for two patients at Northside General Hospital in North Sydney.No bigamy charges laid HALIFAX (CP) — Bigamy charges won’t be laid against actor James Brolin for his June 21 marriage in Baddeck, N.S., to actress Jan Smithers, Nova Scotia’s attorney general said Wednesday.An RCMP investigation was launched two weeks ago after the National Enquirer quoted Brolin as saying his marriage to Smithers wasn’t legal because his divorce from his first wife wasn’t final.New securities marketed soon OTTAWA (CP) — Government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities could be on the market in October, an official with the federal Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.said Wednesday.The new securities should be of

Wednesday by an earthquake in West Quebec about 30 kilometres southeast of Mont-Laurier.The geophysics division of the Geological Survey of Canada reported the quake, rated at 3.5 on the Richter scale, was centred in cottage country about 120 kilometres north of Ottawa and that no damage was expected to have resulted.For those on the river OTTAWA (CP) — The National Capital Commission intends to hold an international conference next year for cities that are located on rivers, just three months before a conference of world capital cities is planned by Ottawa Mayor Jim Durrell.Officials of cities built on rivers will be invited to compare notes at a June 8-11 gathering next year, said NCC chairman Jean Pigott.Durrell’s proposed meeting is for Sept.29-Oct.2, 1987.Confidence is slipping OTTAWA (CP) — Even though investment intentions during the first six months of this year remained reasonably strong and steady, business confidence is slipping, the Conference Board of Canada says.And that could signal a turnaround in the business cycle, the board says in the report on its second-quarter survey of business attitudes and spending intentions.The report is based on survey responses from 717 senior executives.No time limit for kids TORONTO (CP) — Children are not restricted — as adults are — by a six-month time limit in launching a lawsuit against a public body, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday in awarding almost $100,000 to a student.In a unanimous decision, the five judges ordered the Toronto Board of Education to pay $94,643 to a 20-year-old York University student for injuries suffered in a playing-field accident four years ago.Everybody wants to rule world TORONTO (CP) — A group financed in part by the right-wing National Citizens Coalition plans to

an official of British Columbia’s public insurance corporation says.“The whole insurance industry has been very remiss,” said Michael McCarthy, vice-president of insurance operations for the Insurance Corp.of British Columbia.“Companies in auto (insurance) try to avoid risk rather than improve it." Roll out the barrels CALGARY (CP) — The Calgary Stampede has brought in an engineering firm to cheek barrels, stoves and other equipment used in its chuckwa-gon races.Don Wilson, who headed the rodeo committee for this summer’s fair, confirmed Wednesday tests are being run to ensure equipment is safe and that this is the first time the Stampede has sought outside advice on race equipment.The chuckwagon races came under heavy criticism this year after eight horses died in two accidents at the fair.No busing to immersion schools WINNIPEG (CP) — A recent court decision on busing children to French immersion schools shows that what the province says and what it does are two separate things, a Thompson, Man., parent said Wednesday.“In practice, parents who can’t afford to hire a bus are penalized if they want their children to learn in French,” said Phillip Chaddock.A three-man Manitoba Court of Appeal panel ruled unanimously Tuesday that Mr.Justice Michel Monnin of Court of Queen’s Bench erred in concluding the province and the Mystery Lake School Division were discriminating against French immersion students in Thompson by refusing to pay their busing costs.Education and economics linked REGINA (CP) — Teachers who want to improve the quality of education worldwide must speak out against the Third World’s grave economic problems, an international teachers’ conference was told Wednesday.The 650 delegates attending the World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession conference voted to accept a document which says developing countries must establish “just economic relations” with the industrialized world if they are to improve areas such as education.Was it really that much?VICTORIA (CP) — The RCMP have been asked to help corroborate a local man’s claim he obtained $380,000 in $1,000 bills from the Royal Bank.Fritz Karger told told police Sunday in the southern Danish city of Soenderborg that the money had been stolen from a briefcase in a car his family rented in Hamburg, West Germany.“We have to believe anybody who comes to tell us something is stolen and we do, but when it is that amount of money we want to believe that amount of money was there,” Det.George Stitt said.No help for oil industry YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T.(CP) — Ottawa won’t intervene in the commodities market to bail out oil and gas producers, federal Energy Minister Marcel Masse said Wednesday.Masse, touring a zinc mine in Pine Point, N.W.T., said the federal government isn’t there to provide help every time there is a problem, but it protects basic principles in which a system can work.Skull of human-creature found NAIROBI (AP) — The discovery of a skull belonging to a man-like creature who roamed northern Kenya 2.5 million years ago will force scientists to reconsider widely held theories about modern man’s ancestors, experts say.‘‘It (the find) is going to stimulate.a lot of questions about things that have been taken for granted, about things that have been believed by some of our colleagues and taught.for the past 10 years,” said Richard Leakey, Kenya’s national museums director.Albania opens border to cargo HANII HOTIT, Albania (AP) — Albania, one of the world s most isolated countries by choice, opened its first railway link with the rest of Europe on Wednesday.Albanian and Yugoslav officials inaugurated the railway by hoisting snifters of Albanian brandy in toasts to each other and to the parallel ribbons of steel at the border between their countries.An Albanian diplomat said the line will be used only for cargo.“No passenger coaches are planned initially, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.Weather Doonesbury Cloudy today with a 60 per cent chance of showers or thundershowers in the afternoon.High 25, low tonight 14.Forty per cent chance of rain on Friday, with a high of 23.THIS MONT GO ON H!5 NOTTO PtPMANemmmm.'TUMEAN.ngm S***.fern.ACTUALLY, I THINK YOU'RE TO BE COMMENDED FOR SPCNPIN6 SO MUCH TIME WITH YOUR UTTIEBOY HOHJPOYOUMAN AGE*\ JMi/Æ'ïÆwh BY GARRY TRUDEAU MG?OH, YOU AMAZING.KNOW, JUGGLE, MOST MEN JUGGLE, JUGGLE!

He continued by saying he was on holidays and “I don’t really know about that.” This is not Broadbent’s first visit to the Townships.He was here earlier this year to attend a chamber of commerce luncheon and has visited on several other occasions."We've been having a great time here.” said Broadbent and continued to say the family had been enjoying their stay in the Or-ford park.Broadbent started his Quebec vacation in St-Jerome in the Laurentians.He attended a performance of the Cirque du Soleil in St-Sauveur and participated in one of the numbers there.In Montreal, the NDP leader was interviewed on CBC radio’s “Daybreak” and visited the city.He has been camping with his family in Orford and will go to File d’Orleans Thursday (today).Sunday, the Broadbents visit La Mauricie region and will attend a barbecue with NDP youths in Saint Maurice next Monday.Tuesday, the family is back in Montreal on its way home to Ottawa Wednesday.Ed Broadbent is seeking out French adventures on his

behind the wheels to prevent movement.The automobile suddenly lurched backwards.The jack tilted, and the car fell to within four inches of the ground, crushing the man caught underneath.Three passers-by immediately jumped to the victim’s aid, but it was too late.Dion died of head injuries.DEAUVILLE — Ejide Marcoux has officially confirmed he will once more seek re-election as mayor of

representing hope for peace were launched and a petition to have North Hatley declared a nuclear free zone was started as Townships residents Wednesday marked the 41st anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.The candles, set afloat on tiny blocks of wood, were sent onto the perilous waters of Lake Massawip-pi by students at the the Mackay summer camp for deaf and crip- COWANSVILLE — Heroes’ Memorial parents’ committee chairman Terry Scott says a majority of committee members will not pay the district of Bedford consumables fee of $25 per child.According to Scott, committee members have agreed to withold the fee in protest of many recent administrative decisions that run contrary to parents' wishes — including the decision to move the district offices into the newest part of Heroes’.Further, Scott argues, the vote that imposed the fee was illegal because two board members abstained, calling the Ministry of Education in Quebec for an opinion.Scott was told by Education Act pled children in Ayer’s Cliff, who also spent part of the day folding paper cranes — the traditional Japanese symbol for peace.Students also had the chance to view the National Film Board’s film, If You Love This Planet.On Wednesday evening about 50 people gathered in the basement of St-Barnabas Church to watch three films about war.Representatives of many Townships peace groups turned out for the event, some of them becoming the first residents to sign a petition asking expert Yves D’Amour that board members must vote yay or nay, and have no right to abstain on any issue.This reading of the Education Act is supported by several recent court decisions.The Heroes’ parents are urging other district of Bedford parents to withold the $25 fee as well.Supposedly charged to cover the cost of classroom materials, the fee will actually be spent to restore some of the services Bedford cut last spring.Apparently Bedford plans to hire back some of the councillors and other staff who were axed on a part-time contractual basis — rather than as regular employees.“And we don’t intend to let them pressure the kids for the money either," Scott warns.“If they want that $25, they can come to us.” To that North Hatley town council officially declare the town a nuclear free zone.COUNCIL WAS READY According to Judith Berlyn, who along with two Sherbrooke lawyers helped put together the petition, town council was ready to endorse the idea on the spot when it was discussed at a meeting Monday but organizers preferred to go through the petition exercise as a way of making people aware of the issue.“The main purpose of the petition was not for council, but to get people thinking,” Beryln, a summer resident here, said.The petition, which Berlyn initiated.takes a slight twist from the petition which has been used by many other Canadian communities in getting their municipal representatives to take the step.It not only asks for North Hatley to be declared a weapons free zone, it also asks that it be declared a waste free zone.North Hatley should also officially ban the manufacture, transportation, storage or distribution of nuclear weapons or ther components within its boundaries, it states.Organizers have no illusions that the petition will have a dramatic effect on the world stage but they say as a community it is a first and important step.“I don’t think you have the denial of the problem you had 10 years ago,” said Peter Weldon, one of the lawyers who drew up the petition.He is a member of the group, Lawyers for Social Responsibility, founded by former Canadian diplomat George Ignatieff.“The next step was transforming that awareness into action.” STOP SPECTATING “We have to stop acting as spec- ensure that students don’t go without materials, Scott

Wednesday that just because something looks like candy, it isn’t necessarily candy.The girl was standing on the side of the road when the driver of a passing car threw something out of his window.After deciding to investigate, the girl found 21 small bags of a white substance inside a larger bag.She thought it was sugar.She tried some.It was cocaine.The girl soon found herself in the emergency ward of the Centre Hospitalier de Granby.Dr.Daniel Ménard said yesterday that she showed no symptoms of major intoxication.“She couldn't have tasted very much," he said.The 18-year old man who threw the package from his car was being shadowed by police at the time of the incident.tators and not only take responsibility but demand accounts (of government activities),” he added, noting that New Zealand's nuclear ban was sparked by one small community.Berlyn agreed, saying that she had become frustrated with the lack of activity in the area devoted to highlighting 1986 as an international Year of Peace.“I think we can prevent nuclear war but it’s going to take a lot of people doing a little bit,” she said.“All these concerns are saying we wish the world was a better place,” she added.“On the other hand, everything that happens is because someone makes a decision.” Among those who attended the meeting was Kathleen Leslie, president of the Townships Peace Group and pioneer of the movement in this area.She said petitions and special events like this help draw people into the fold.“We feel it’s really necessary to make people aware in any way that By Philip Authier NORTH HATLEY — Muriel Duckworth, mother of Canadian film producer Martin Duckworth, still gets emotional when she views the film her son made about the Second World War.Return to Dresden, a dramatic account of the bombing of the German city of Dresden released this year, has that effect on many people it seems and, like the films If You Love This Planet and Speaking Our Peace, has become a mainstay of the Canadian and American peace movements.Wednesday it was the turn of about 50 residents here to see the Duckworth film, as part of an evening marking the 41st anniversary of the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima.Unlike last year’s events, in which thousands of Canadians painted figures of dead bodies on sidewalks as a striking reminder of what it would be like if a bomb fell in a small town, this year’s events were more low key.NOT WITHOUT CRYING Yet that does not mean the events didn’t mean something to those who are part of a growing Townships movement out to promote peace and disarmament.ET is being touted these days as the next major nuclear-free zone.“I can’t see it without crying," Duckworth, a founding member of the Canadian women’s peace group Voice of Women and recipient of the Order of Canada said after viewing the film.“1 feel weak when it’s over." No wonder.In Return to Dresden, a National Film Board of Canada release, Marlin Duckworth follows a war veteran back to attend the re-opening of the Dresden opera house, reduced to rubble by Allied bombers.The vet was one of those soldiers who followed orders and destroyed the defenceless city, killing thousands of civilians who we can (that Hiroshima really happened),” Leslie said.“We have so much sympathy for the survivors and we just hope that it might possibly penetrate that we've got to get working.” QUOTES MOTTO When asked what’s the point in trying to wrestle with the huge issue of world peace and disarmament, Leslie said she always likes to quote the group’s motto when asked that question.The motto reads: No one was ever more wrong than she who does nothing because she can do only a little.The motto was drawn from the World Council of Churches play, Under the Gun.“If communities really get moving then the government's got to listen,” she said.“I'm so lucky, here I am, I'm an old lady, I have wonderful health, my husband has wonderful health, we have children.we have grandchildren, we have a beautiful place to live in, we have everything anybody can need or want,” she said.“Isn’t it of tre- had no shelters to hide in and never expected the attack.Yet, as Winston Churchill says in the movie, it was important for the Allies to score a moral victory, to take the wind out of the sails of Germany’s resolve to fight.Dresden was to be that moral victory, where the Allies would do their best to counter Hiller’s worst.TELLING OF BLITZ Unfortunately, no one told the bombers who carried out the deed.Today, as individuals, they are wrestling with the moral dilemma of having levelled one of the jewelled cities in Germany’s crown.Martin Duckworth chooses the re-opening of the opera house, for his film.To mark the event, it is staging the last opera performed there before the attack, der Freis-chitz by Von Weber.The opera is about war and heartache and is used as the backdrop for the visit of the veteran, who tours the site and meets some of the people who survived to tell of the blitz.“It sensitizes them to the suffering which goes on on both sides,” Duckworth said.“Usually (after seeing the film) people are kind of stunned.They don’t want to talk about it for a while.” One of the most dramtic scenes comes towards the end when the veteran meets some local people in a public square: one-on-one.One person questions whether he knew mendous concern to everybody to do something, in gratitude if nothing else.” “Once you have a child or a grandchild, you can’t take a separate view of it, you’re involved.” Judith Berlyn.it's a start.the city was unarmed and had no shelters.Another wants to know whether he knew what he was doing.He is asked whether he knew of the people who had perished and lay still under the rubble.To all the questions, the veteran says no (as is pointed out in the film, only upper military authorities knew what was happening).GRIM REMINDER The street people and the veteran part as friends, especially after he explains to them that he is part of a group called Veterans for Disarmament and is working to stop future scenes like this.But the encounter is a grim reminder that the future does not look bright for the peace movement because, as in the Dresden bombing, the two solitudes agree that the upper hands of power have once again lost touch with the lower hands.In that sense the film gets people thinking about the implications of war on the average human being.And it is those people peace groups around the world are trying to reach.“You don’t know what will spark or reach a person,” Duckworth said, “and make them feel.” “I think it was the thing Martin thought he had to do.” “There was a lot of forgiveness going on there,” she said.“It’s the kind of film anyone would like to The Red Cross means Health and Community and, above all, YOU see.Trapped in a world he never made.s2F WEDNESDAY S :

business a story comes along which passes through the realms of the ridiculous and enters the world of the truly bizarre.One of these stories surfaced Wednesday.The setting is Ottawa, believably enough, but the tale has nothing to do with tuna or hunger strikers or Sine Stevens.It has to do with pigeons — not the human kind that fink on their friends after being caught by the police — but the real, animal kind.You know, feathers, beaks, statues in the park.etc.It seems pigeons perched on top of the National Conference Centre are causing quite an uproar doing what they're famous for, i.e.going to the bathroom all over everything.W'hile the problem is certainly nothing new, the way the Ottawa Public Works Department is handling the situation is unusual, to say the least.Corn treated with the hallucinogen Avitol is being scattered along the upper ledges of the downtown building.One in every 29 kernels is doped, and some birds are getting more than a little stoned.After gobbling the unexpected treat, they apparently squawk, screech and swoop around in a real-life drugged frenzy.What could possibly be the reasoning behind this new method of dropping-prevention?It is hoped the strange behavior of certain birds will scare all the other self-respecting pigeons away.Really, that’s it.And now for the strangest part of all (no, we haven’t reached it yet): Marilyn McPherson, acting director of the Ottawa-Carleton Humane Society, says her organization has absolutely nothing against the practice.“It works sort of like an epileptic fit in humans,’’ she reasons.“The birds don’t feel pain during it.but afterwards they might have some muscle stress.” Yes, a humane society representative actually said this, despite the fact some of the ‘flying’ pigeons have reportedly killed themselves crashing into buildings.Meanwhile, back on the local scene, several friends of mine have hit the road to Ottawa disguised in giant pigeon suits.WILLIAM HARRIS Peterson wants trade on the talks table By John Valorzi TORONTO (CP i — Ontario Premier David Peterson says he wants the premiers' conference next week to consider whether the provinces are entitled to ratify any Canada-U.S.freer trade agreement.Peterson, one of Ottawa’s sharpest critics on the issue.said Wednesday that a "ratification formula” would not constitute a provincial veto of an agreement negotiated between Canada and the United States.“We may be talking about ratification, but that’s not a veto.” he told reporters.“The question is: Does it have to be ratified and.if so.what parts and how is it going to be done.” Although freer trade is one of the items on the agenda when the premiers meet in Edmonton.Peterson said tax reform and bringing Quebec into the constitutional accord are the issues he wants to concentrate on.He said Ontario wants to make sure federal plans for tax reform don't result in further cuts in Ottawa's transfer payments to the provinces.This spring.Ottawa began a phased reduction in the growth of federal transfers for health and postsecondary school education that wdll cost the provinces about $5 billion over the next five years — $2 billion for Ontario alone MAKE PROGRESS Peterson, one of three Liberal premiers attending the conference, also said he, Quebec Premier Robert Bou-rassa and Ottawa have a “very general” agreement that the premiers must make some progress in getting Quebec to sign the constitution.Among Quebec's demands are recognition in the Constitution that the province is a “distinct society” and the right to veto constitutional changes.Quebec, then governed by the Parti Québécois, refused to sign the 1981 accord which led to patriation of Canada's constitution Other Ontario government officials say they expect the conference to be low-key.With the premiers scheduled to meet Prime Minister Brian Mulroney next month over freer trade discussions with the U.S.and again in November on the economy, the Edmonton meeting may turn out to be just a get-acquainted session, said Hershel Ezrin, Peterson's principal secretary.Since the last premiers' conference — in St.John's, Nfld., a year ago—- Bourassa, Edward Island Premier Joe Ghiz, Alberta’s Don Getty and British Columia s Bill Vander Zalm all have taken office.Did you know that.?STAYS POPULAR In the 1985 mayoral election in Boise, Idaho, four write-in votes were cast for Mr Potato Head MADE ENEMIES Sir Herbert Holt, a highly successful railroad builder and financier who immigrated to Canada from Ireland at age 19, was among the richest Canadians ever.Holt had so many enemies because of his wealth, however, that at one point during the Depression he had to walk to work in Montreal accompanied by four men armed with ' rifles.STARTED RUSH One of the greatest mining stampedes in history was started in Cobalt, Ont., when blacksmith Fred LaRose threw a hammer at a fox, but instead struck a rock that revealed a huge silver vein.A murderer cannot kill if he is locked away The dog days! I suppose the dog days of summer were named because it was so blazing hot the dogs just laid around in the yard with their tongues hanging out.An apt description of the part of the summer that’s sneaking up on us.June manages to slip past without having too much of an effect on us.The cold days of spring are so fresh in our minds that we hardly notice the days warming up in June.(And this year we didn't even notice the difference at all!) July normally warms up and by midway through the month we start to get those really hot days and breathless nights where the sweat pours off under the one thin sheet we can sometimes tolerate.But August brings on those dusty windless days that seem to last forever.The days that make us all feel like thirsty, sleepy dogs.The Dog Days of Summer! In the Dog Days the murder rate climbs to it’s highest point of the year.We’re all just so irritable that murder must come easier to those who seem inclinded that way.The last few days seem to be filled with murders from all over the country.Policemen in Montreal, little girls in Toronto, bank managers and many other people seem to have taken a beating in the past few weeks.With the increase in murder comes the age old argument about capital punishment.Whenever the increased rate of meditated and premeditated murders arises someone is bound to say something like “Yeah, and then the'll let those damn murderers out in a couple of years to do it all over again.” The red-neck faction will pound the table and describe crime-fitting tortures that could be applied to those who avoid the death Where the pavement ends 7 JIM LAWRENCE penalty in our permissive society.The bleeding-heart ‘ small-L’’ liberals will explain that the death penalty has been proven not to be a deterrent and therefore can be only classed as revenge.“It is far better to rehabilitate the criminal and make a useful member of society out of him again” they ’ll shout tapping the table with a pensive finger tip “Thou shall not kill” exclaims the Christina “God says we must forgive.Killing a murderer is just as bad as the original crime.Two wrongs don’t make a right.” The battle rages on.Most people have an opinon about capital punishment.From what I've read lately, popular opinion has swung away from the progressive move to keep the death penalty banned.Apparently most people today would vote yes if we had a referendum tomorrow.I know for certain that the National As-sociation of Police Chiefs have constantly demanded the death penalty be returned.They feel that it is absolutely a deterrent and ask that, if nothing else, it be returned for those who murder a policeman or prison warden.Our present federal government is avoiding the issue like crazy and trying to pretend the question just doesn't exist.I suppose that way you don't offend anybody and keep both sides of the issue pacified temporarily.What they did do was to call the MPs back from their summer vacation (poor babies!) and reword and pass a bill that would preclude the possibility of a dangerous criminal getting parole before he had served his entire sentence.As “happy-jaw” explained in his beautiful voice, these dangerous criminals must be kept off the street so law abiding citizens can be safe.Well that sounded alright to me.If you can t do away with them, the next best thing is to revoke their weekend passes and force them to spend their sentence watching color T V.and playing pool What the hell, if you intend to put them out on the street after five or six years, why let judges sentence them to 25?That's life! Make the sentences five or six years and cut out the middleman.Well it wasn’t alright to the bleeding hearts.I recently listened to a radio forum that took calls from Vancouver to St.John's."It’s a well known fact that the longer you keep a criminal behind bars the better the chance of his repeating his crime." "How can you expect to rehabilitate criminals if they have to serve their entire sentence without chance of parole?” ' This isn't re habilitation, it's simple revenge.” ‘Criminals are people too and have equal opportunities as those outside correctional institutions.” "Our prisons are hell holes and to- day's inmate doesn’t have a chance.it’s just not fair.” “This new law is simply not humanitarian.” And so on.Gee folks, it sounds from most of this rubbish that we should never have sentenced them in the first place.It was strange to hear all these so-called experts in crime expounding their theories about rehabilitation on the very weekend that a recent parolee gunned down a police officer in Montreal after only eight days on the street.I don’t suppose the officer’s family would call for shortened sentences or decry the government’s new law as being unfair.Somehow I doubt it.If we don't have the intestinal fortitude to face capital punishment and reinstall it for pre meditated murder such as the 11-year-old girl in Toronto, the two-year-old child in London or the policeman in Montreal we can at least make certain that these vicious killers spend every single day of their sentence locked far away from all of us.(I’m still bitter about the Rose Brothers who are now walking the streets after their terrible crime — the murder of Pierre Laporte) A murderer cannot kill an innocent person if he’s locked away.I don’t give damn if that sounds like revenge or if I’ve lost sight of re-habilitation.Once he commits a henious crime he loses his rights to be treated like a human being.Let’s worry about being fair to us and stop worrying about being fair to someone who waived his rights the moment he took another life.Call it revenge! Call it what you like! Call it justice! Letters What he actually said Wouldn’t lend a dime to Ron Dear Editor: I cannot say what the Seventh Day Adventist told H.Gordon Green, (July 25th.page 9 of The Record) but it does not seem likely to me that it was that they do not eat pork because the pig has a cloven hoof.When the Jews were given permission to eat animals certain rules were to be observed.Only clean animals were to be eaten, those which chewed the cud and had a split hoof.See Leviticus II : 1-8, Deuteronomy 14: 4-8.After the Flood, Noah and his des-cendents were given permission to eat the flesh of animals but eating blood was strictly forbidden.Leviticus 7: 26.After the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the Christian Jews were no longer under the old law and it is now lawful for them to eat pork, but certain things that were forbidden under the old law are also forbidden to Christians.Romans 10:4.Acts 15: 19, 20.28.29.So it is from a higher law giver than man that we are forbidden to partake of blood.whether by mouth or by means of intravenous feeding.The Biblical Christians did not worship the sun god so they did not take part in the celebration of the festival now known as Christmas.It is difficult for me to believe that any Seventh Day Adventist said that he would not eat dead pig because it has a cloven hoof.Could it be what he actually said was that he would not eat it because even though it has a cloven hoof, it does not chew its cud?Yours very truly.GEORGE HALL.Dunham Dear Editor: If I were asked for a loan and given as collateral the Reagan administration's professed desire to reach rapport with the Soviet Union on arms limitation issues.I wouldn't lend a dime.The latest U.S.explosion of a nuclear devise is bound to have a negative impact on the current state of So-viet-American relations and the course of world events in general.It will reflect badly on the diplomatic feelers that are being made now in preparation for the Shevardnadze-Shultz meeting and make the possibility of a summit between Mikhail Gorbachyov and Ronald Reagan before the end of the year much more problematic.In an attempt to get the nuclear di- KWAKT IDEA, MYDEAH MR3.THATCHER, y)EU TAKE a WALK TOGETHAH to DISPEL These Siiir RunoRS qt m arqu^ert.ÛH »N’0 Antp on!

three years — with a hitch By Charles E.Dole The Christian Science Monitor If Ford Motor Company gets a green light from Uncle Sam, the inflatable air bag will become a standard feature in some of its cars after Sept.1.1989.but there's a hitch.Ford wants to stick with the current "latch it yourself" seat belt instead of a passive belt on the right-hand side of the car — and that’s against the law.The Ralph Nader-spawned Center for Auto Safety charges Ford with trying to weaken the passive-safety standard on the eve of 1987 model introductions.The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), however, calls the Ford plan a "breakthrough toward making them (air bags) standard equipment and at a reasonable price.” Brian O’Neill, president of IIHS, says, “The bottom line is that lives will be saved.” The IIHS, along with insurance companies, such as Sears, Roebuck’s Allstate, have been pressuring the government and auto industry to adopt air bags for the past 20 years.SEAT BELT EASIER Complicating that education process is the fact that the seat belt is far easier for the motorist to understand than the air bag.Indeed, no other automobile-safety issue has been kicked around more, or longer, than the air bag.It has been maligned as a conspiracy against the car buyer and praised as a saver of lives.Major criticisms and fears revolve around original and replacement cost; safety, including the sodium-azide gas to inflate the device ; and the fact that an air bag protects a motorist only in a front-end or front-angled collision, because of the location of the sensors.It is useless in a side or rear-end impact or a rollover.Louis W.Camp, executive engineer on Ford's environmental and safety engineering staff, responding to critics, says the sodium-azide gas used to inflate the air bag is harmless to human health.The gas is sealed in a metal cannister and is far less accessible than the gas in the tank or the acid in the battery.Chrysler will not confirm or deny its plans for the air bag, although Chrysler Motors chairman Gerald Greenwald says the Ford plan “may be a good idea and make sense.” Over the years there have been two major court tests, both of which affirmed the law for passive restraints.Already, up to 100,000 air-bag-equipped cars are on the road in the United States.Mercedes-Benz now' equips all its cars with an air bag, and West Germany’s BMW has made it standard on the L-7, a version of the 7-series.Ford also offers air bags as an $815 driver’s-side option on Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz.Beginning with the 1987 models in the fall, the law calls for all car-makers to install front-seat passive restraints in 10 percent of their cars, either air bags or automatic safety belts, climbing by stages to 100 percent in 1990.A passive system functions independently of the motorist: in other words, with a passive belt, the motorist does not have to physically fasten the belt.A driver-side air bag, packed into the steering hub of an automobile, is designed to inflate only in an impact equivalent to hitting a wall at 12 m.p.h.or more.According to manufacturers, hitting a pothole or bump in the road will not inflate it, nor will striking the bumper of another vehicle in a parking maneuver.A Department of Transportation decision on the Ford request is not expected before September.If it goes against Ford, the Ford air bag may be scrapped.Before air bags went on sale last March as a Tempo/Topaz option.Ford had already delivered more than 7,500 air-bag-equipped Tempo cars to the federal government and other fleet buyers.While there had been several dozen air-bag deployments.there were no serious injuries to car occupants, according to Ford.Despite one fatality in a Mercedes, "in every case where the air bag would have been a factor, it worked as advertised,” a company spokesman reports.In the early 1970s General Motors sold 12,000 air bag-equipped cars as a $300 option — far below cost, according to GM.The option was dropped after three years.Today there are seven or eight times as many air bags on the road as during the GM’s three-year attempt a decade ago.EUROPEANS ARE CLOSE ; Some European carmakers are very close to using air bags in at least some of their cars, among them Porsche, Audi.Volvo, and Saab.Honda is now running a small test fleet of 4-door Accords with driver-only air bags on US roads.Toyota, how'ever.may stick with automatic seat belts, such as the motor-driven system now used in the Cressida.Whichever approach is more successful might show up on all Japanese cars.While Ford charges $815 for its air-bag option, reactivating an airbag system could cost up to $1,000 or more, according to some estimates, depending on how much damage there is to the car.As of Dec.1, 1985, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says it knows of 280-air-bag-deployment crashes in which 322 motorists sustained minor injury or no injury.Of 12 fatalities, including one drowning, there were two fatalities in airbag-equipped cars in crashes which the air bags were not designed to deploy, according to NHTSA.Trying to fan more interest in passive restraints.Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company provides new and increased insurance-premium discounts to poli cyholders whose cars are equipped with either or both features.?f >*—• What effects do pesticides have on the health of those who use them?By Janice Vansickle Windsor Star Agriculture Reporter WINDSOR, Ont.(CP) — If the chemicals farmers use are toxic to weeds, insects and other crop hazards, what impact do they have on the health of those who use them?“There is just very, very little medical information about the hazards associated with the use of agricultural chemicals,” says Richard Richards, who last year was chairman of the province’s task force on health and safety in agriculture.Lacking the funding to pursue the issue further, the task force had to settle for a review of existing information compiled by Dr.John Chong at McMaster University’s occupational-health program in Hamilton.Drawing from localized and sometimes inconclusive studies done in other regions, he concluded farmers face a variety of work-related health risks and many of them stem from chemicals.Farmers have shown a propensity for developing cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma that could be linked to pesticides.Chong’s research also raised the question of a link between chemical exposures and reproductive problems and neurological diseases in farmers.“There is a general lack of information available regarding exposure to pesticides and organic chemicals in Ontario,” Chong says in his report.“There is also a lack of awareness on the part of the agri- cultural community and the medical community as to the dangers involved with exposure to these toxic substances.” RECORDS IMPERFECT Chong says current methods for recording death and illnesses in Canada do not make a correlation with occupations and health complaints from farmers are often misdiagnosed.Dianne Harkin, founder of Women for the Survival of Agriculture, and her family, who farm in the Ottawa area, were poisoned a Five billion are starving despite stockpiling food By Mort Rosenblum ROME (AP) — Although the world now has five billion people to feed, and many Africans and Latin Americans are going hungry, record food stocks are piling up at an alarming rate.Farmers produce so much grain, beef and butter that food-limitation talks among western countries are beginning to take on the importance, and intransigence, of arms negotiations.Two conflicting themes provoke growing concern at the UN World Food Council, a Rome-based group charged with watching over the world’s pantry.The first is that U.S.and European Common Market officials are trying to share export markets and set prices that do not incite their farmers to protest.The second is that African countries are complaining that their vital goal of food security is as elusive as ever, despite fresh rains in dry areas and mounting international attention to their plight.“We are in the middle of some kind of biological revolution,” said Maurice Williams, the retiring World Food Council executive director.“There must be a major structural adjustment.” NO END IN SIGHT Williams said technological advances, combined with state support for farmers, threatened to overwhelm producers with food they can neither eat nor sell.He said he saw no end in sight.By the year’s end, the WFC expects surplus cereal stocks to reach 370 million tonnes, 60 million more than in 1985, along with mountains of meat, dairy products and other staples.Production rates were forecast to rise in nearly every part of the world, including Africa.The problem is not agricultural but economic.Many people face severe hunger because they aren’t able to buy food which they can’t produce themselves.Producers can’t give away their surpluses without destroying local incentives.Some African countries, finally producing grain surpluses after years of drought, cannot compete with subsidized western grain.With no outlets, their grain will rot and they will have difficulty convincing their farmers to grow more.As a goodwill gesture, western governments are paying some local costs to move surplus African grain to deficit areas elsewhere on the continent.But the help is limited.Western governments with food surpluses are open to criticism at home for spending money to move grains around Africa when they have too much of their own in stockpiles.U.S.officials argue that the Common Market has crowded American farmers out of their traditional world market share.They want food exports to be negotiated as part of the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade.The Common Market argues the whole world market has declined since some traditional importers now produce surpluses, and that U.S.export subsidies drive down world prices at the expense of European farmers.HITS THE MIDDLE The U.S.-European dispute threatens to freeze out smaller food exporters caught in the middle.“Africans are suffering from this, and so are we,” said Anthony Gleeson, an Australian official.“We can’t afford subsidies.Seventy per cent of our production is for export.” Gleeson said he feared the entire food trading system would have to suffer an abrupt shock before more normal balances could be restored.Williams agreed, adding: “I don’t see anything happening anytime soon.I’m afraid everyone is in a mood to fight this thing out.” At a recent WFC conference, M.S.Swaminathan, a leading expert in agricultural development, urged industrialized governments to protect farmland rather than produce excess food.If hunger is to be eliminated, he said, poor people either must grow their own food or find the means to buy it.“Hunger is a multidimensional problem,” he said.“Unfortunately our thinking and procedures are predominantly uni-dimensional.” CBS has fallen to No.2 and hasn’t had a hit show this year NEW YORK ( Reuter)—CBS, the largest U.S.broadcasting company and long the industry trendsetter in both its news and entertainment shows, is going through hard times.Since the beginning of 1985, it has fallen to the No.2 spot, behind NBC, in the viewer ratings and did not have a single hit among its new shows last season.In April it lost the prime-time ratings race for the first time in six seasons and its flagship evening news show with anchorman Dan Rather has dropped from the top spot for the first time in five years.The latest spate of bad news follows a turbulent year in which it took on nearly $1 billion US in debt to kill dramatic takeover bid by Atlanta broadcaster Ted Turner, and sold two money-losing divisions.On Wednesday, CBS chairman Thomas Wyman shocked Wall Street by announcing the company ^«ihstantially lower profits for the balance of 1986 due to weaker advertising sales.The bleak profit outlook has sent its stock price down nearly $10 US to about $128 a share in the last two days.“It was a major disappointment,” said Richard MacDonald, industry analyst with First Boston.“It indicates their strategy of maintaining market share by selling advertising time at discount prices has failed.” While the company had earlier projected advertising revenue growing four per cent this year, Wyman said it now expects no growth at all.While NBC increased its prices, CBS and ABC have been forced to cut prices by five per cent due to their lower ratings.“Sure this market is tough, but this problem has CBS written all over it,” MacDonald said, adding that he lowered his estimate of CBS’ 1986 profits to $6.50 US from $8 a share.LEON DESAULNIERS DESAULNIIRS AUTOMOBILES INC

were part of a spring flu, but when she started having muscle spasms, she had government inspectors test the well.That’s when the contamination was discovered and the family began hauling in water from a neighboring village until it could install a water filtration system.The family has since switched to organic farming, a method of crop rotation that does away with the use of pesticides.But Harkin still has a nagging concern because the pesticide contaminating their water was a known carcinogenic.LONG-TERM UNKNOWN “It’s the long-term effects, what’s it going to do?" she asks.Dieter Riedel, a toxicologist in the federal Health Department’s pesticide division, agrees the longterm impact of exposure to agricultural chemicals is not known.While chemical companies wanting to register a new pesticide in Canada must submit their product to an expensive and lengthy battery of tests, Riedel says little attention was paid to their impact on health until the late 1970s.Officials in the United States and Canada are sharing the burden of retesting the 80 per cent of agricultural chemicals now in use that were not subjected to modern testing.Growing concern over the widespread use of chemicals also has led the governments of both countries to undertake a reanalysis of all pesticide ingredients.Mallette Benoil Boulanger Rondeau& Associés CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS (819) 564-1757 2727

addiction and ranks behind only alcoholism and drug abuse as a problem among workers but no Canadian programs exist to help employees overcome such troubles, says a U.S.expert.Gerry Fulcher, founder of the Delaware-based National Foundation for the Study and Treatment of Pathological Gambling, told a conference Tuesday there are only 10 programs in the United States to deal with an estimated six million to eight million compulsive gamblers.He said he has been trying in vain for nearly a decade to persuade Canadian officials to treat compulsive gambling as a serious workplace problem.“Canada has nothing,” he said.Fulcher, a former New York City police officer, crime counsellor and college vice-president, is a self-described compulsive gambler who has sold everything from his car to his grey toupee to raise betting money.During his “desperate period” of gambling, he lost 15 jobs in nine years, acquired a criminal record and an immense debt.He still owes $340,000 U.S.He has steered clear of gambling for a decade— apart from a three-month binge in 1984 — and led a campaign to bring more attention to the problem.APPEAR IDEAL Fulcher told the North American Congress on Employee Assistance Programs that the gambler isn’t as much of an obvious drain on a company as are alcoholics or drug abusers.In fact, gamblers often seem to be ideal employees — studies show they possess high IQs, are aggressive, good problem solvers and appear to work long hours.“A helluva worker and nice guy — you can say that about us until we take your teeth.” But gamblers are more of a menace, he said, because they abuse money.Even though gamblers cheat employers out of millions of dollars each year, companies are only beginning to view gambling as an employee problem worth treating, he said.And while firms will accept back into the fold recovering alcoholics or drug abusers, gamblers are often never forgiven.A good employee assistance program — in which the gambler’s activities are scrutinized and his money carefully managed — can cure about 80 per cent of compulsive gamblers, Fulcher told about 30 people in a session on pathological gambling.By comparison, the Gamblers Anonymous group is effective in about 35 per cent of cases.TWO-THIRDS GAMBLE Fulcher said studies show that one-third of people never gamble Of the two-thirds who do, about 85 per cent gamble for social or recreational reasons — an occasional office pool or a raffle.Ten per cent of the rest have what psychologists call an “impulse control disorder,” a gambling sickness that drives them to spend everything they have — and often, what they don’t have — on their addiction.“You’re not in it for the money, you’re in it for the action.We are not addicted to a substance, we are addicted to an activity.” Fulcher said studies have shown that 86 per cent of compulsive gamblers commit crimes to keep gambling.They’ll forge cheques, steal and embezzle.There’s another figure that Fulcher mentions repeatedly in his speeches: what few studies exist on gamblers suggest that their suicide rate is 180 times the normal rate.Executive stumbled onto mining career FLIN FLON, Man.(CP) - Mike Muzylowski didn’t know what geology was when he first saw it listed on university course sheets but his curiosity led to a career as a successful mining executive.When Muzylowski, 51, head of the Granges Exploration Corp.of Vancouver, signed up for a geology course at the University of Manitoba, the only stones he knew about were the large granite boulders he wrestled to move from his father’s farm at Oakburn, Man.And he said in a recent interview while attending the kickoff of development for the new Tartan Lake gold mine near this northern Manitoba community that it was by chance he persued a career digging through rocks.Moïylowski’s father, Nykola, arrived in Manitoba in 1917 from Austria.After homesteading for 10 years, he bought a farm and started a cattle, pig and dairy operation.“One day some careers people came by, talking about something called a universtity.We’d never heard that word before,” Muzy- lowski said.However, it wasn’t long before he was in Winnipeg signing up for his first university courses.“I remember having to choose between such things as botany, zoology and something I had never heard about before, called geoloy.Somehow that one caught me, even though the only rocks I had seen were the big ones we had to put chains around and drag from the fields.” JUMPS IN Muzylowski jumped in with both feet, graduating with a Bachelor of Sciences degree in 1957 and earning top marks in geology.During his university years, he spent summers in northern Manitoba working for Hudson Bay and Mining and Smelting Co., where he took a full-time job after graduation.Muzylowski was with the company’s exploration branch when he received a telephone call from Stockholm one February morning in 1970 from Granges, then a Swedish subsidiary of Electroloux, asking him to take over the compa- ny’s Vancouver-based North American operations.After mulling the offer over for three months, Musylowski accepted the job because he liked the company’s “aggressive approach to mining.” This approach led to the discovery by Granges in 1976 of an overlooked ore body at Trout Lake, just 3'/2 kilometres from the smokestack of Muzylowski’s old employer.“New technology and thoroughness paid off.I like looking for property right beside someone else’s proven ground.” he said.There, the atmosphere between the two companies was frosty for the next year.But now, Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting operates the Trout Lake zinc and copper mine for Granges.Three years ago, Muzylowski and some business partners bought Granges from Electroloux and listed stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange.And recently the champagne were popping as the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.Do tall women really look like wrestlers?Dear Ann Landers:What is the fashion industry doing to us women?Why do we stand for it?Who designs these ugly, freakish suits and dresses with shoulder pads that belong on the football field?Tall women look like wrestlers, short women look goofy.Moreover, the shoulder pads are forever slipping and sliding.When they are out of place the women looks deformed.The one-piece bathing suit slit from hip to armpit is obscene.I thought the bikini was shocking but what they are showing now is nothing short of indecent.In order to wear these vulgar shockers a woman must have a body wax (under heavy sedation) or take three hours to shave.The whole thing is disgusting and unnatural.Add the punk haircut, the six-pound earring and you have a woman who looks certifiable.If enough women simply refuse to go along with these kooky trends and keep on wearing our old clothes, the designers will have to quit trying to make us look like damned fools and charge outrageous prices for their monstrosities.I want to look like a lady, not a streetwalker.So do millions of other women.What can we do about it?— Manhatten Molly Dear Molly : I agree that some of the new fashions are grotesque and ridiculous (also obscene), but these are still some beautiful, elegant, ladylike garments available.As for the bathing suit—the next step is burlesque-type pastie's and a fig-leaf.Glad I’m a non-swimmer and couldn't care less what they are showing.Dear Ann Landers:Although I have read your column faithfully Ann Landers since our newpaper began carrying it years ago, I never felt the need to write until I read the letter from the wife of an Alzheimer’s patient.She learned of her husband’s unfaithfulness when the doctor advised her to close his office.When she went through his desk drawers she found dozens of photos of him with other women.Her sorrow touched a responsive chord in me although me situation is very different.My mother-in-law never liked me.I have been happily married to her son for 37 years.I made excuses for her behavior, rationalizing that no matter who her son had married she would have found plenty to criticize.When my mother-in-law went into a nursing home recently the task of cleaning her apartment fell to my husband and me.We found her album of our wedding pictures on the closet shelf.In every picture my face had been scratched out with a sharp instrument.Now I regret all the things 1 did for her out of respect and I am heartsick.How do I deal with my feelings of anger and resentment?— Massachusetts Dear Mass:Vow that you will not give your mother-in-law the power to make you bitter and miserable.She has done enough damage for too many years.If you can’t win this victory over her mean spitefulness without professional help, I Reunion elicits many a memory The Bedford High School reunion has come and gone, leaving organizers and guests in a state of dazed euphoria.Everything that could go right did.Anything that might have gone wrong didn’t.Even the weather co-operated.It rained enough to prove it was a weekend, then cleared up enabling planned outdoor events to go on outside.Thunder grumbled occasionally, but most of the lightning was inside — the flashes from hundreds of cameras were blinding.If you own stock in a film-making company, expect a dividend this year.Charles Bury, with devotion above and beyond the usual, abandoned a quiet weekend to cover the reunion on Saturday.His story has already appeared in The Record.What follows is a more personal record from the perspective of an attendee.Like many, I approached the reunion with trepidation.High school memories are a mixture of bitter and sweet and I had no idea how time would affect them.I found time improves sweetness and erases bitterness.You talk to people you didn’t even like ‘back then’ as if you’d been the best of friends.The absence of an old enemy or rival became a major disappointment.LINGER LONGER On Friday night, long after the wine fountain ran dry and even mice had left the cheese table, people lingered, peering at name tags and talking non-stop.They turned the lights off to make people go home.Wrong, they were home — lights were turned off to make people go away for a while.Saturday afternoon there was a softball game.However, for me, the highlight was a revival of ‘Pistoree’, that bizarre childhood game the rest of Canada has never heard of.We put together a mixture of Bedford and Stanbridge-East Down the Pike By Ashley Sheltus ground rules and dove in.The old-timers started, but it was the kids of today who continued playing long after we faded.For every player there was a dozen spectators, remembering the now vague rules and refreshing memories as the game went on.What we ran that day was the first International Individual Pistoree Championship.I doubt if the sport will ever make the Olympic Games — but the next Commonwealth Games?Hmmmm.To play, you need a broom handle about two feet long and another dowel about six inches long.You also need a small hole in the ground perhaps two inches deep and a foot long.The small stick is placed across the hole and then flicked into the field using the long stick.If it’s caught, you’re out.If it isn’t, a fielder throws the small stick, trying to hit the big one placed across the hole.A hit puts the batter out.TOOTICAPPING If you survive those hazards, you hold the small stick between thumb and forefinger and bat it into the field again.A catch puts you out but the small stick is spinning like a propeller.The nearest fielder throws the stick back, trying to land it within two feet of the hole.The batter tries to bat the small stick away.If he or she succeeds, they get an opportunity to score.Drop the small stick onto the big one held in the other hand, try to keep it in the air with light taps, then bat it away.At least two taps must be made before batting which may explain the name for this phase, ‘two-to-capping’, or ‘tooticapping’.Points are calculated by the number of stick-lengths between where the small stick lands and the hole, times the number of hits.To my knowledge, this is the first time Pistoree rules have ever been committed to writing.Saturday night, the Purple & Gold Revue and Dance' was another smash hit with the last guests leaving at 5:30 a m., led down Victory Blvd.by Peter (‘Pied Piper’) Whitcomb and his banjo.Everyone was back Sunday for a fabulous Stanbridge-East Fireman’s barbeque, final picturetaking, goodbyes, and even at that late hour, the discovery of old friends you had missed before.The only way to describe the departure is ‘reluctant’.Planes waited and cars and plates from Texas and Arkansas and British Columbia were reminders of the long drive ahead, but the lea st excuse caused lengthy delays.MANY THANKS It’s over, but I have to say a particular ‘thank-you’ to those who organized the weekend.They never stopped working and they never stopped smiling.If they occasionally got flustered, nobody saw or knew.I* know they'll forgive me for not mentioning names because to miss even one would be a criminal oversight.I also know they’ll understand if I do mention the school janitor.Cliff Last.He worked flat out for weeks and went into overdrive on Friday.Although not an official organizer, Last worked as if the whole reunion was his idea and that he’d be held responsible for any faults.His contribution was vital and deeply appreciated by all.That’s it, except for a reminder not to forget the big beautiful Bedford Fair this week.It just keeps getting better as it gets older.Townshippers graduate from McGill implore you to get it.Dear Ann Landers: You weren’t very sympathetic to the woman who complained that her husband never talked to her.Maybe I can open your eyes a little.My husband was “a good man.” He didn’t drink or gamble or run around.He never abused me physically but the mental cruelty was more than I could take.I finally divorced him.What did he do?Nothing.He simply refused to talk to me.There was never so much as a “Hi” when he came home or a “bye” when he left.He never gave me a compliment or even an insult.If I asked, “What would you like for supper?" he wouldn’t answer.I begged him to talk to me.No response.I tried silence, hoping he’d open up.He never did.I know now that men who don’t talk are sick in some strange way.They are wife abusers.There are no broken bones or bloodied noses, just a broken heart and shattered self-respect.I’m free of him now but 1 still don’t understand what was wrong with this man.Do you have the answer?— Sharon R., Boynton Beach, Fla.Dear Sharon: Your husband is a classic example of the passive/aggressive personality.These abusive types punish by doing and saying absolutely nothing.They've learned that the silent treatment can be extremely painful and their victims can’t lay a glove on them.Their standard defense is, “I didn't do (or say) a thing!"

parliament after long and prayerful debate declared that total nudity in a public place was a criminal offence.And in spite of the new morality and Hugh Hefner’s Playboy gospelling and all the bra-less bare bellied, bikini banded women who have been parading their acres of brown skin on every city street ever since, that law apparently still stands.Which explains why when you patronize a night club which features beautiful unclothed women along with less important entertainment these women may have some small shreds of covering over the three strategic areas.Indeed they should have some such covering if their performance is respectable, legally speaking.Such coverings are a joke of course, up above two little bunion pads known to the trade as pasties ; and down below a G-string the approximate size of a Band-aid.The latter is often made of a material which will glow in the dark, and while this bit of artistry isn’t there for that particular purpose, any morality inspector who happens along can tell, even by candlelight, whether that 1931 law is being observed with all due reverence.Well it seems entirely fitting that the rebellion against such hypocrisy should have begun out in Calgary where, so westerners proudly tell us, the men have always been men and the women well acquainted with the implications.Anyhow it was a stripper named Kelly Johnson who some years ago made up her mind that the law as it was being enforced in her city and elsewhere was a farce, and that she would be the Lady Godiva to flaunt it.So one night, down with the pasties and the florescent G-string and nothing al all was left to the customers’ filthy imagination.And in due time the morality officials came to view Kelly’s act and though they looked long and closely they couldn’t find any smidgen of covering.Gordon Green The charge was laid.Guilty as charged.Kelly’s lawyer launched an appeal which was ultimately heard by the Alberta Court of Appeals.Guilty again.But Kelly ’s lawyer was as determined as Kelly herself, and he argued that to insist that it is wrong to view a woman just as the Almighty made her is to insist upon being more pious than God, and finally he took the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.If the Supreme Court did render a decision, I never heard of it.In any event the question seems to have lost much of its urgency.In my part of the country at least, pasties and G-strings are both regarded as antiques now.I do recall however that when the news got round that Kelly and her lawyer were taking their case to our Supreme Court, many Canadians declared that the verdict these solemn gentlemen would ultimately render would be one of the most momentous ones in Canadian history.Personally 1 never could see it that way.After all their decision could affect no more than a half dozen square inches of female anatomy and it wouldn’t do a thing for the incurably dirty minds of men.Come to think of it soberly isn't it curious that while it is a crime to commit a murder, it’s only jolly good fun to be entertained by it -witness our insatiable appetite for the titilation of who-dun-its.But while everyone admits that sex was invented by God Himself, we have always had those who insist that it is a heinous sin, even a crime, to be titilated by it or to let it be the source of a little fun.their nephew, Ray Ward and Mrs.Ward.Other
