The marchers protested the government's plan to ease Bill 101 restrictions on signs, its privatization efforts, health-care budget cuts and public-sector contract talks.Montreal police spokesman Serge Gascon said estimates of the crowd ranged from 7.000 to 10,000 Some workers carried a large styrofoam effigy of the premier dressed in a grey suit, and others took turns whacking it with placards.TAKEN BACK "I think Mr.Bourassa must be an expert or something,'' said Louis Laberge, president of the Quebec Federation of Labor, in an interview.“After only one year he’s taken us back to the 1970s.In a scene reminiscent of the common-front demonstrations of the early 1970s.Laberge marched shoulder-to-shoulder with Yvon Charbonneau, president of the Boisvert boosts Canadiens • -_ ______ Æ s RECORD/PERRY BEATON V vv Sherbrooke Canadiens Serge Boisvert came through with the big shoot-out goal last night to lead the team to victory over the New Market Saints in American Hockey League action.For details of this game and other weekend sports activities, see today’s sports section.French language activists tour Montreal for unilingual signs MONTREAL (CP) — French-language activists, angry at the number of bilingual and English-only signs in the city, toured the downtown area Saturday in five buses to draw attention to violations of Quebec’s language law.“This tour has made us more aware of the degradation of French and of the need to take action," said actress Jeaninne Sutto.a guide.About 200 people joined the tour organized by the nationalist Société St-Jean Baptiste.The guides gave a running commentary, pointing out violations of Bill 101, the Charter of the French Language which forbids signs in anything but French.The passengers cheered businesses displaying unilingual French signs and booed on spotting signs with English words such as "florist” or “hairdresser.” Some oddities were noted, such as the shop of an anglophone optician who had a French sign while “dispensing opticians” showed on a nearby francophone shop.The passengers, including former PQ cabinet minister Gerald Godin and ex-federal cabinet minister Suzanne Blais-Grenier.were taken later to the Westmount area where they cited numerous businesses displaying English signs.STAGE RALLY The tour was part of a day-long publicity drive preceeding a rally Saturday night organized by the society and Mouvement Quebec français at the Paul Sauve Arena, to oppose any changes to Quebec’s French language law.The Montreal Gazette published a full-page advertisement Saturday by Alliance Quebec, an English-language lobby group, criticizing English-only signs.The advertisemment.bearing 200 names including author Hugh MacLennan and poet Irving Lay-ton, said English-only signs undermine “the progress toward understanding and mutual respect that so many have worked so hard to achieve.” French rights rally draws throng to arena MONTREAL (CP) — Thousands of Quebecers worried about defence of the French language gathered at the Paul Sauvé Arena Saturday night to hear Premier Robert Bourassa s government denounced for failing to enforce the province's language law.The demonstration drew a number of political figures including Parti Québécois Leader Pierre-Marc Johnson, who declared his concern about the future of French in Quebec, and former federal cabinet minister Suzanne Blais-Grenier who said safeguarding the language is “quite simply a question of survival." The rally, staged at the arena that was the scene of the PQ's giant victory rally a decade ago.was organized by the nationalist Société St-Jean Baptiste and the Mouvement Quebec français and attrac- ted people from a variety of movements.Jean-Paul Harney, leader of the New Democratic party in Quebec, said he supports the drive to protect Bill 101.the Charter of the French language, because survival of francophone culture in North America is “a matter of continual vigilance," "The rules that we set down 10 years ago perhaps don't any longer apply the same way they used to." Harney said in an interview.“We have to wake up yet again.” The rally capped a day that started with the appearance of a full-page advertisement in the Montreal Gazette by Alliance Quebec, an English-language lobby group, criticizing English-only signs which have become a common sight in the city.Centrale de renseignement teachers’ federation, and Gérald La-rose.president of the the Confederation of National Trade Unions.Laberge and Charbonneau were two of three labor leaders jailed in the early 1970s for contempt of court after they urged union members to defy back-to-work legislation enacted by the first Bourassa government.Last month, the Liberal government enacted a tough series of penalties to halt rotating walkouts by health-care workers, part of the 300.000 public sector workers w ho are renegotiating contracts."They've made new otters and that’s a step in the right direction,” said Laberge.w ho deemed premature reports that a settlement was imminent.The marchers included the widow of Gaston Harvey.Jeannine, whose husband died in police custody after a demonstration by former workers at the Manoir Richelieu.The workers lost their jobs after the government sold the resort hotel east of Quebec City .to businessman Raymond Malenfant last year and the new owner dropped the union.Canada waits for answers from U.S.TORONTO (CP) — The United States is expected to respond today to Canada’s demand for all available information on an alleged Canadian connection in the Iranian arms scandal, the Toronto Star says.“We expect some kind of reaction by then." External Affairs spokesman Paul Frazer said Sunday from Ottawa.“We are certainly hoping for co-operation.” It was the most optimistic note yet from Canadian officials, who have been frustrated in their attempts to get information from Washington since a congressional committee hearing Wednesday in which CIA Director William Casey revealed there was a Canadian connection in the secret sale of U.S.arms to Iran.Toronto-area businessmen Donald Fraser and Ernest Miller have been mentioned as middlemen in at least one of the Iran-U.S.transactions, with reports saying they provided anywhere from $10 million to $40 million US to help finance the sale.Canadian government officials have said there is no evidence any Canadian laws have been broken in connection with the arms deals.The response to Canada’s request is expected to come from the embassy.Frazer said.“That was the route we took in our message to the U.S.government,” Frazer said.“So that would likely be the route they would take in their response.” Frazer was referring to a strong protest letter delivered Friday in Washington by Canadian Embassy officials.The letter demanded that all available information from the U.S.government on the alleged Canadian connection, including Casey’s secret testimony, be made available.Bitter Gainers strike ends, workers return EDMONTON (CP) — One of Alberta’s longest and most bitter strikes ended Sunday when Gainers Inc.workers voted 61 per cent in favor to accept a contract that freezes their wages for two years.Eight hundred and forty-six members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union voted on the contract and will likely be at w'ork Tuesday.Non-union replacement workers hired shortly after the strike began June 1 will have to leave.Not all union members were happy when they heard they will soon be returning to work and greeted the announcement by union local president John Ventura with boos and jeers.“We should have stayed on him (Gainers owner Peter Pockling-ton),” said worker John Haisma, upset the four-year contract was accepted.“We should have kept on him.” he repeated.“We should have squeezed a little more.We should have stayed out another month or six or whatever it took.It’s not worth it." The contract gives no wage increases for the first two years and allows for only a three-per-cent raise in each of 1989 and 1990.That means some workers, who accepted a wage freeze in their previous contract, won’t get a raise for five years.The agreement also allows Gainers to keep a pension fund surplus estimated at between $6 million and $10 million.Dave Lesyk, a worker who voted in favor of accepting the deal, said employees were feeling the pressure to settle.“We didn’t have much of a choice so .I think it’s OK,” he said.“Six-and-a-half months on the street is quite a long time, you know." Brenda Rewega, who estimates she lost between $13,000 and $16,300 during the strike, said “a lot of people are upset” because they didn't gain anything new in the contract.“But I guess some people were hurting financially and figured a job is a job,” said the 31-year-old who has worked at Gainers for five years.All (he workers are guaranteed their jobs back, an issue that was a sore one.Pocklington maintained to the end he wanted to keep the replacements.The flamboyant Edmonton businessman, who also owns the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League, was in Los An gelcs to watch his team play when the ratification vote was held.“If they hadn't approved it, I would have kept the replacement workers until hell froze over,” he said in a telephone interview.Marcos still hopes to return to Philippines MANILA (AIJi —- Former president Ferdinand Marcos told Filipinos on Sunday that he hopes “a miracle" will bring him home for Christmas, and authorities said the airport in his provincial stronghold is closed to private traffic.About 1.000 supporters of the ousted president rallied in Manila to denounce President Corazon Aquino’s government and her ceasefire with Communists rebels.During the rally, a speaker announced the death Sunday of Marcos's sister.Elizabeth Marcos-Keon.The Marcos family chaplain Rev.Domingo Nievres said she died of heart failure.The Philippine News Agency said she was 65.Cesar Lucero, a former Manila city councillor, told the rally Aquino's peace overtures to leftist insurgents will hasten a Marxist ta- keover of the Philippines.TALKS ON RADIO In a message broadcast Sunday by the private radio station DZEC, Marcos said he hopes to return to the Philippines soon.He has lived in Hawaii since February's civilian-military revolution toppled his 20-year administration.“This is my prayer, this is my hope, that I see you soon," said Marcos.“To each and everyone of you.I say, if we do not see each other soon.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, although it is my hope that somehow by a miracle, we will see each other in those holidays.” Marcos, who spoke in English and in the dialect of his Ilocos Norte province in northern Luzon, referred to Aquino as "this woman who is under the control and who is a dummy of Communists.” I * 2—The RECORD—Monday, December 15, 1986 Honest independents and taxpayers being hurt by fuel fraud By Donald McKenzie MONTREAL (CP) — Federal and provincial governments are losing at least $60 million annually because of firms that don't pay tax on fuels they import, says an industry spokesman.“The current system is full of holes, in the United States and in Canada,’’ said Jim Conrad, executive vice-president of the Petroleum Marketers’ Association of Canada Conrad said-about 32 billion litres of gasoline are sold annually in Canada, representing about $2.4 billion in federal excise and sales taxes.Add diesel taxes and provincial taxes and the tax figure jumps to about $6 billion a year, he said.Conrad said in a telephone interview from Toronto he did not know the exact percentage being defrau- ded, but he said “it’s certainly more than one per cent ($60 million).” “If I had a $6-billion industry, and somebody was stealing $50 million, $100 million, $200 million or whatever, I’d soon put in management controls to help stop it.“It’s clear that the problem has escalated in the last year or two.Taxes are higher, people have found loopholes and governments have been lax,’’ said Conrad, whose organization represents 45 independent petroleum marketers.LACK INTEREST The problem in Quebec was made public two weeks ago when provincial Revenue Minister Michel Gratton told the legislature Quebec City and Ottawa have lost $50 million in tax revenue in the last year because some importers had smuggled in gasoline in trucks that were supposed to have carried home heating oil.The provincial tax on home heating oil is about a third of that on gasoline.Gratton promised a thorough investigation and criminal charges, but Conrad said governments in Canada and the United States have little interest in the issue.“We have a real problem on the political side.Without that political will, the (revenue) officials don’t seem to be as aggressive as they might be,” said Conrad.“Governments say it’s a very complicated problem and I say.Well, complicated problems may need complicated solutions’.“For a multi-million dollar industry to be managed this way is a disgrace.We obviously can’t compete with people who don’t pay taxes.” One problem is that some border officials can’t distinguish between certain fuels, some of which are taxed and some not.Conrad said he has heard of officials at the U.S.-Canadian border who do not know the difference between naphtha — a tax-free feedstock used to make petrochemicals — and gasoline.TELL DIFFERENCE However, it is possible to make the distinction because gasoline has butane while naphtha does not, said Conrad.“It’s not like telling the difference between a truck and a car, but it is possible.” Conrad added, “Everybody knows it’s happening, everybody knows names, but there have been no prosecutions.What’s wrong with the system?” One of the major scams involves the use of kerosene to replace diesel, Conrad said.Importing tax-free kerosene is legal but it is an offence to use kerosene as diesel, which is subject to a tax of about 18 cents a litre in Quebec, said Conrad.“The moment the kerosene is dumped in a diesel truck, that’s the hard evidence that diesel taxes are being avoided.” On a 30.000-litre truck, that represents a saving of some $5,000.Conrad said he believes some trucking companies are also involved in the scam.“There’s enough money in this for daisy chains.If you're a trucker, you say.Til take a couple of thousand, you take a couple of thousand,’ and everyone’s happy.“The people that are getting hurt are the honest independents, and eventually the individual taxpayer.” LAUNCH PROBE An official with the federal Customs and Excise Department has confirmed that an investigation is under way into the illegal practice of declaring imported gasoline as heating oil.“I can’t discuss it further,” Jim Johnston, director of investigations at Customs and Excise, said in a telephone interview from Ottawa.“The Canadian justice system wouldn’t permit it.” Francois Filion, a Customs public relations official in Ottaw-a, said the investigation began four months ago and would last until at least January.A report then will be sent to the Justice Department, said Filion, who declined to disclose other details of the investigation.GM plant should get help, says union head By Dennis Lessard TORONTO (CP) — The General Motors Corp.plant in Boisbriand, near Montreal, should get government financial aid despite opposition from some Ontario observers, says Bob White, head of the Canadian Auto Workers union.“It’s very easy for certain people in Ontario to be purists in this matter, especially since the plant is in Quebec,” said White.“Certain newspapers have been very polemical on this,” he said.“I’m not sure they would have the same attitude if the plant was in Oakville.” Recent published reports said the federal and Quebec governments are close to announcing a shared-aid package worth $250 million to keep GM’s only car assembly plant in Quebec alive.The company is reportedly delaying the announcement while the air clears around its decision to shut 11 parts and assembly plants in the United States, which eliminated 29,000 jobs.The 21-year old Boisbriand plant was slated for closing next summer, with no product assigned after the 1987 model year to replace the outmoded rear-wheel drive 01-dsmobiles it now builds.It got a new lease on life after the company and the union signed a deal in September that provides more flexible work rules.SUPPORTS IDEA White said he’s waiting to see the details of the government’s financial offer but “in principle” supports the idea of financial help, even if the company is turning a profit.Ttwouldn’tbe the first time,” he said.“GM in Oshawa got help and so did Suzuki and Hyundai.” Ontario’s auto industry has been the biggest beneficiary of government funds, said White.Violence persists in South Africa, despite tough security plan The following news item was written under South Africa’s state of emergency which imposes severe reporting restrictions.JOHANNESBURG (Reuter) -Political violence persisted in South Africa during the weekend despite the latest government crackdown, aimed at preventing alleged plans for a Christmas campaign of terror by black nationalists.Two Swiss nationals abducted by South African security forces from neighboring Swaziland during the security sweep were freed and returned Sunday to the Swazi capital of Mbabane.But in South Africa, an alleged black nationalist was killed and two policemen were seriously injured in separate incidents as racial conflict continued.The South African government said the member of the outlawed African National Congress was killed in a shootout with police in Cape province Saturday, the first fatality reported since the government launched an offensive on the organization Thursday.Tonka trucks recalled; paint can be hazardous TORONTO (CP) — Tonka Corporation (Canada) Ltd., the world s leading manufacturer of steel toy trucks, announced an immediate recall Friday of some models of its Steel Monsters line, including the Blaster, the Destroyer, the Masher and the Bomber.No other Tonka (Canada) products are affected, the toy manufacturer based in Mississauga, Ont., said in a news release.The recall comes after officials of the Product Safety Branch of the

The paper received minor blame from the press council for publishing a letter-to-the-editor which contained "prejudicial remarks towards the doctor”, and for a headline which called testimony at the hearing 'accablant' (overwhelming), which the council said could be seen as excessive.Visions of sugar plums SHERBROOKE — Children aged three to six.accompanied by a parent, are invited to the municipal library for a Christmas reading hour.Along with those famous Christmas stories about visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, children will be treated to Christmas snacks and all kinds of other surprizes Thursday.Dec.18 at 1:30.For more information, call 821-5860._________ || ' « RKCORD PKRRY BKATON No one was hurt in a fire which badly damaged this building on London Street in Sherbrooke Friday.Investigators probe fire in London St.building Windsor woman killed by smoke in kitchen fire City sends reminder: New Year’s limit for detectors least doubt, one of the best-known characteristics of relations between the two founding communities of Canada." she said.•LITTLE CONFLICT’ "Indeed, the history of relations between these two groups shows little conflict in the Townships."

This is not the first time Falardeau has sparred with church authorities.In 1968.he was relieved from his duties in a parish church after a conflict with a superior over his efforts to organize the poor in the area.He decided to run for Parliament that year, as an independent candidate in the working-class Montreal district of Laurier.The archbishop asked Falardeau to take a leave without pay.but sent a cheque to his campaign fund.Dubbed the priest of the poor." Falardeau placed a respectable second despite a Liberal landslide led by Pierre Trudeau.TOOK PAROLE JOB The archbishop then offered Falardeau a position as parish priest in a well-to-do district, but Falardeau refused.lie went to work as a parole officer.In 1982.he moved to Abbotsford, near Vancouver, with his wife Claudette and family, which now included a fourth child of their own.Still stung by the experience with their own church, the family began attending St.Matthew's Anglican Church.To their surprise, they were invited to take part in communion."The minister told us The table is set.don't be shy." Falardeau recalled.He took an early retirement this year and now lives in McMasterville.near Montreal.But he would love to get back to his original career.In November, the Canadian Conference of Catholic bishops agreed to study the possibility of admitting married Anglican clergy into the Catholic clergy That was too much lor h alardeau.He sat down and wrote the Pope.Do i have to become an Anglican priest to be recon ciled once more to the Christ ot my ordination?" he asked the Vatican./ILITWe Presidents men.Experts: Canada’s cities better NEW YORK (CP) — If Americans think of Canada as a nation of igloos, blame the weatherman.Canada's turn on the evening news usually comes during the weather forecast.when every blast of cold air from across the border is faithfully tracked.One TV weatherman in New York Cit; referred to Canada last week not by name, but as "caribou land." When urban experts John Mercer and Michael Goldberg consider differences between the two countries, however.a reverse image comes to mind.They see Canada as having achieved a well-ordered form of urban living that contrasts vividly with the American flight to the suburbs and the virtual abandonment, in some cases, ot U.S.inner cities.Canadian cities are not only more livable, but more lived-in.they say.Along with having greater vitality, better civic management and one-sixth the likelihood of their citizens being physically assaulted.Canadian cities, on average, have twice the population density of U.S.cities, they say.Goldberg.U.S.-born professor of urban land policy at the University of British Columbia: and Mercer.Scottish born associate professor of geography at Syracuse University in New York state, are authors of The Myth of the North American City: Cont inent a 1 ism Challenged.They spoke recently at the Americas Society in New York, a group that fosters greater understanding between the two countries.DRAWN TO CORE The authors argue the concept of the North American city rings false CP News Analysis By Calvin Woodward because, for one thing, affluence has been sucked into the core of Canadian cities but scattered far and wide from the centres of urban America.And they attribute the strength of Canadian cities to a number of national characteristics, not all of which they see as ingredients for a dynamic whole society.They say Canadians are more pas-sive.hence more willing to step aside and let government exercise its will.This, they say.makes it easier to control urban sprawl or devise a tax scheme which, if tried in the United States, might start a taxpayers' revolt."They tend to be less able to influence directly public policy." Goldberg said of Canadians.Added Mercer: "We can anticipate that the greater acceptance of authority by Canadians and their inclination to look to government for collective solutions would lead to a greater (governmenti role in urban development and a stronger exercise of planning powers " U.S.cities are fashioned primarily by private enterprise, they say.Yet U .S.civic governments bear great fiscal responsibilities for education, welfare and other services which, in many parts of Canada, are looked after largely by provincial gover-n monts.They said their study of more than 300 North American cities showed the American affinity for living on the periphery of cities and the general Canadian preference for being downtown are deep-seated.As one measure of suburban sprawl, they say.te United States has four times as many kilometres of urban expressway lanes for each metropolitan-area resident as does Canada.MOST DRIVE While most Americans drive in from the fringes in their cars, fully one-quarter of Canadian urban commuters use local mass transit, double the U.S.usage rate."I don't know of any American city where the most prestigious singlefamily housing area is in the central city." Goldberg said.In Canada, said Mercer, "central neighborhoods are seen to be eminently suitable locales for family life, supported by fiscally sound school systems and a prevailing sense of public order." They suggested the greater Canadian dependence on government has created an abler civil service and a less competent private sector than in the United States."The private sector is disappointing to me in terms of the abilities of the senior people there." Goldberg said.Singling out Victoria.Vancouver and Calgary as examples most familiar to him.he added: "The people I know w ho run those cities are as cpuble as any of the chief executive officers running big Canadian companies." That's one of the things that makes Canadian cities better at picking up garbage, he said.Convent is feeding the hungry By Greg Joyce VACOUVER (CPI — Many of Vancouver’s down-and-outers have turned to a group of nuns for help in the fight against poverty’s ugly offspring — hunger.For the last three decades.Sister Regina and six other elderly nuns, members of the Sisters of the Atonement, have been feeding an ever increasing number of hungry men and women outside their convent doors.A branch of the Franciscan community.the order, totalling only 300 nuns worldwide, was established to administer to the sick, elderly and hungry.The recession persists in British Columbia and daily lineups outside the convent, in Vancouver’s east-end skid row.sometimes number 1,000 people, although the average is usually about half that.Lineups at the convent are only a part of some uncomfortable statistics reflecting the plight of thousands of British Columbians.MORE FOOD BANKS The province has 50 food banks — more than the rest of Canada combined.A report in June by the Social Planning and Research Council of British Columbia indicated that more than 70.000 people in the province needed handouts to ensure food was on the table each week.The Vancouver Food Bank began a few years ago by distributing several hundred food hampers each month.It now routinely gives away 3.000 food hampers a month.Long before food banks, however, many of Vancouver's skid-row habitues looked to the Sisters of the Atonement for their daily bread.“It (the lineups) happens in most of the big cities, although here it’s on a much bigger scale,” says Sister Regina.“In New York City and Boston, and those larger cities, the lineups aren’t quite as long.” LINE UP EARLY She says the hungry begin lining up outside the convent on East Cordova Street four to five hours before the doors open.“We always have the sandwiches ready at four o’clock.If we didn’t they’d be banging on the door,” she says in a soft voice with a smile that suggests no malice at the needy’s lack of appreciation.They come in increasing numbers, are younger and now expose one of the darker sides of equality: an increasing percentage of those in the lineups are women."There are a lot more younger men and now we are seeing women,” Sister Regina says.“They haven’t been able to find jobs and are on welfare.If they get something in the afternoon (from us) it stretches their budget.” DONATIONS GROW Fortunately, as the number of people lining up outside the convent increases, so do the donations."It's remarkable, the concern for people." says Sister Regina.Peanut butter is one of several different spreads put on the dozens of loaves of day-old bread donated by-two large bakeries.Salmon, tuna and other fish products arrive as lefto\ ers from the federal government's ins-pection branch.Eggs, baloney , doughnuts and other items come from \ arious sources, both private and corporate.While the religious order gets much of the credit for the food handouts, the bulk of the work is done by several lay volunteers, mostly women, who alternate morning shifts in the convent's basement.On one recent morning, as Sister Regina sat in the dimly lit study and described the smooth operation, eight volunteers made sandwiches.The pervasive aroma of peanut butter filled the air as the women hurried to wrap the last of the day's provisions.HELPS 31) YEARS One longtime volunteer.Ethel Ka-napton.wasn't the least apologetic about the volunteers' tendency to stretch the peanut butter."Well, it comes in 50-pound (23-kilogram) containers and it's hard to spread — so we oil it." says the 79-year-old Kanapton.a delightful, talkative woman who has been helping in the kitchen once a week for the last 30 years.Kanapton s two daughters, aged 54 and 53.have accompanied their mother to the convent's basement each week for more than a decade.All agree the social atmosphere and the feeling of "doing something for them is the prime motivation.Once a month, the volunteers help prepare a hot.sit-down meal for the needy Each Thanksgiving and Christmas.hundreds of turkeys are donated and prepared by the auxiliary of the Sisters of the Atonement.On those special days, tables and chairs are set up in the nearby church basement, providing welcome interludes to the spirit-numbing ordeal of daily food lineups North and south vastly different in Ontario By Susan Reid SAULT STE.MARIE.Ont.(CP) — The cab driver appears tired and uncomfortable as he studies the Toronto passengers chattering in his back seat.He's heard the same comments from southern visitors for as long as he can remember.The first day, it’s a quaint spot.Is that Sault, Mich., over there?Where are the locks?Where are the good Italian restaurants?By the second day: It's kind of faraway.isn't it?It's really pretty boring in the Sault.isn't it?"Northerners have always felt ne glected and misunderstood by the South." a Thunder Bay reporter recently wrote.Southerners tend to combine romanticism about Northern Ontario — the spacious land of moose and bear — with misconceptions about why people choose to live in this city of 80.000 on Lake Superior instead of a bustling community on Lake Ontario.And sometimes they feel a little guilty about their ignorance, since they generally don’t think about the area that comprises 90 per cent of Ontario but only 10 per cent of its population.AREA HUGE Northern Ontario — larger in size than the four Atlantic provinces combined — is wealthy in minerals, forests, waterways, wildlife and rugged scenery.Yet since 1982.it has been suffering an economic crisis unmatched in its relatively short developed history.It is at the mercy of international markets and declining oil and metal prices.North of the French River, the north-south dividing line just below the nickel city of Sudbury, people look with envy at the booming 150 kilometres stretching from auto-city Os-hawa through Toronto and west to Kitchener-Waterloo.Subdivisions extend into farmland outside of Toronto far beyond what seems reasonable, while residents in dying single-industry towns in Northern Ontario can't give their homes away.AREAS DIFFER North and south in Canada's richest and most populous province are vastly different in geography, economics and attitudes — any northerner will tell you that: most southerners won’t be able to."They just don't know what it feels like to be here," Michael Atkins, a Sudbury-based publisher, said at a recent northern competitiveness conference in Sault Ste.Marie.The Canadian Shield covers two-thirds of Ontario and most of the northern region, except the Hudson Bay lowland.The rocks in the Shield — among the oldest on earth at ÏV- billion years — contain the large mneral deposits that made the North rich.But Northern Ontario is, of course, much more than that.It’s hockey teams, curling bonspiels, snowmobile.;.camps and cottages, the fierce loyalty of communities, fishing, hunting.Indian reserves.It's the bush, the lakes — more than a quarter of a million of them — and the railway to which most northern communities owe their existence.GET NO TAXES There is a pioneering attitude, taking a tree and shaking it," Wendy Bell, the reeve of Marathon, said in a telephone interview.She is trying to get an Ontario government grant in lieu of taxes the Lake Superior community misses from area gold mines because of municipal boundaries.While three mining companies lift a fortune from the ground at the nearby Helmo gold fields.Marathon and neighboring Manitouwadge are mere bystanders.Northern Ontario used to mean jobs.But Canada 's largest nickel producers.Ineo and Falconbridge.have cut staff drastically in Sudbury over the past few years.The once powerful Algoma Steel Corp.is in trouble in Sault Ste.Marie.The Kimberley-Clark pulp mill in Terrace Bay has also had layoffs in that small town on Lake Superior.Both skilled and unskilled workers are leaving Northern Ontario in search of jobs.The young go south, not from any desire on their part to leave their home, their family and communities but to find employment — to use their talents and their education and to raise their families." Arnold Peters ot Moosonee said in a brief to the pro-\ ince s royal commission on the northern environment, which published its report in June 1985.Ron MacDonald, president of Local 65(1(1 of the United Steelworkers of America at Sudbury, calls it the "exodus of the youth.The life-blood of the North is being drained out."

Fitch was 61, a 6’4” Yankee businessman who’d made a very good thing out of supplying Connecticut militiament with food and uniforms before the Revolution began.Earlier he’d been a colonel in the British army and was High Sheriff of Windham County, 20 miles east of Hartford.When his Tory sympathies became known, he was driven from office, arrested.jailed and tried for high treason.He was acquitted of that charge but still forced to pay the costs of his trial so joined the Loyalist exodus from New York in 1783.He was given a job collecting customs duties in Nova Scotia.Nicholas Austin, a Quaker who’d refused to fight either for or against the British, soon after petitioned for the same land on behalf of himself and 74 associates who “with their Families now residing within the United States, from their affection to His Majesty George the Third and the British government, are desireous of leaving the country they now reside in.and removing with their Families into the King’s Colony of Canada.” Learning that Fitch had asked first, Austin sweetened his bid with another 180 associates.The land commissioners were impressed by all these potential immigrants (although they may have expected they existed only on paper) but Fitch had poweful friends, Isaac Ogden acted as his attorney and business partner safeguarding his interests in Quebec and Austin eventually conceded and switched his claim to the western side of the lake.CAPTAIN JOSEPH KILBORN The terms of settlement of the wastelands now known as the Eastern Townships were announced in Alured Clarke's Proclamation on February 7, 1792.On March 26.the land commission gave Fitch almost all he wanted by recommending “that a Township of Ten Miles square be laid out for the Petitioner and his associates on the west side of Lake Memrabagak.beginning at a Point where the Line which separates this Province from Vermont intercepts the Shore of the Lake on the East side, running thence East along the said line Ten Miles, thence North ten Miles, thence West ten Miles, thence South ten Miles, following the Shore to the first Station." A survey was ordered to outline this “Township to be thenceforth discriminated by the Name of the Township of Stanstead.and to comprehend the Lands so prayer for.” Captain Joseph Kilborn.then 21.was appointed Deputy Surveyor and made the initial survey.George Fitch, one of the Colonel's 12 children, went along with the surveyors and left his name in Fitch Bay and in Georgeville where Moses Copp.the ferryman, named his son George Fitch Copp and the village became named for the son.But the colonel died at Chambly, June 23, 1796, before his grant was finalized and George Fitch asked to be named leader in his father’s stead.The land commission ruled that Isaac Ogden had a prior claim Stanstead Plain, Stanstead Co.since he’d always been considered co-leader and the dispute solved itself when George Fitch died at Mis-sisquoi Bay, July 12, 1798.Isaac Ogden and his associates (including Charles Kilborn, brother to the surveyor) were granted the southern half of the township of Stanstead in 1800.The northern half was given to Lieutenent-Governor Robert Shore Milnes ten years later.COLONEL CHARLES KILBORN In 1803, Colonel Charles Kilborn (veteran of both sides of the Revolutionary War) cleared two acres on the north bank of the river, damned the stream at the head of the falls and cut a canal across the river’s loop to provide power for a saw and grist mill.The island between the canal and the river comprised four or five acres and became known as Rock Island.In 1815, Surveyor-General Joseph Bouchette described the southern half of Stanstead Township as prosperous and containing 2,500 people: “In the south east part of the township is the village of Stanstead which, though small, has some good houses in it: the main stage road from Quebec into the states of Vermont, New Hampshire passes through it, from which, as bringing a continual influx of strangers, some litle consequence is derived.” By 1821, Charles Kilborn had cleared 100 of his 400 acres, had “200 head of cattle, including sheep,” three houses, two barns, a grist mill, and a fulling and carding mill for turning fleece into homespun.SILAS HORTON DICKERSON Silas Horton Dickerons began publishing his British Colonist & St.Francis Gazette in Stanstead on May 1,1823.He was just 24, born in New Jersey and apprenticed at 14 to a printer in Kingston, Upper Canada.Before he came to he Townships.the only papers circulating here were the North Star from Danville, Vermont, and the Green Mountain Patriot from Peachum.The Montreal Gazette was little read for want of transportation and the British Colonist found eager acceptance.There was pride in pioneering.Dickerson described the rapid progress of his adopted village (Sept.6, 1827) and speculated what Joseph Kilborn and Jesse Pennoyer would think of their wilderness now : “In the village of Stanstead, the principle street of which is 132 feet wide, they would see, and might court upwards of 60 buildings (many of which are constructed with taste and elegance;) — and which consist of dwelling houses, Merchants Stores, Tradesmens' and Mechanics’ Shops.Grist Mils.Saw Mill, Oil Mill, Clover Mill.Paper Manufactory, a Printing Office, Book Bindery, Post Office, Tanneries, Saddle and Harness Manufactories, Pot Ash Works, Iron Foundry.Carding Mill, Clothiers Works, School House, Parsonage House, etc.etc.etc." The'Paper Manufactory' was one of the first in all Canada (the first was opened in St.Andrews East in 1803 to provide paper for the Montreal Gazette) and supplied the Printing Office' with rag paper for the Colonist.The Book Bindery' was run by Walton & Gaylord (who later founded the Sherbrooke Gazette) and produced maps and school texts.William Ezra Brainard worked in the bindery before murdering his mother in Melbourne.The ‘Iron Foundry' belonged to William Arms, a blacksmith from Deerfield, Mass., who'd gone into the manufacture of axes and ploughs.COLONEL JOSEPH BOUCHETTE Bouchette's Topographical Dic- tionary of Lower Canada recognizes two villages and calls them Stanstead and Stanstead Plain: “The village of Stanstead is built near the province line and consists of 23 houses and 200 souls.At Stanstead plain, one mile N.of the village of Stanstead, is another village delightfully situated on an extensive plain, where are several traders’ shops, a printing office and mechanics’ shops of almost every description; it is a place of increasing importance.” Bouchette, the surveyor-general, drew a sketch of the ‘village of Stanstead’ (today’s Rock Island) for the British American Land Company that showed about 15 of these 23 buildings — the river curling past Kilborn’s mills and under a bridge of the Canadian side of the province line.On the far side, in Derby, a large square hotel is shown beside the road, perhaps a coach house.William H.Bartlett came out from England and sketched the same scene around the same time but was more interested in atmosphere than accuracy.His hills are higher, steeper, wilder, and his buildings encrusted with age as if they’d been standing for hundreds of years.He shows the same hotel on the Derby side of the frontier and plants a flagstaff in the square beside it.Rebels gathered beneath this flagstaff in February, 1839, intent on invading Stanstead in support of the patriotes.Of the township named Stanstead, Bouchette wrote that it contained 3,371 people — an increase of only 800 in 17 years — 18 saw mills, nine grist mills, seven carding and fulling mills, one paper manufactory, 15 schools, one church and five taverns.“The tract is certainly superior to any of the adjacent townships in locality, excellence of soil, and quality of timber.There are many large swells of land, some of considerable elevation, clothed with oak, pine and all the best sorts of hard woods; in the lower parts is a great abundance of common timber.” JUDGE JOHN FLETCHER The British Colonist had ail sorts of difficulties.Publication had sometimes to be suspended for lack of ink or paper and sometimes for lackof the editor, who was repeate-dly arrested and jailed for contempt of court.The court troubles began on November 23, 1826, when Dickerson published two letters critical of Judge John Fletcher of the recently established judicial District of St.Francis.One was signed ‘Vin-dex' in the fashion of the day, the other 'F.A.Evans.- Vindex's complaint centred on a recent case from Shipton in which the judge had postponed his decision.The defendant.annoyed at wasting further time and trouble, asked the plaintiff why he’d brought him to court in the first place.Plaintiff answered “for justice" and defendant retorted that he could have had justice without coming to court.The judge overheard part of this, misunderstood, and roared: “What?What’s that you say?Can't get justice here?I give judgement to the plaintiff!" ‘F.A.Evans', who claimed to have served as magistrate in Commissioner's Court (a sort of small claims court), wrote that Judge Fletcher had openly claimed power to have a defendant “flogged, pilloried, have his ears cut off and nailed to the pillory etc.etc.in term or out.without trial, by sovereign ipse dixit." Fletcher read these letters, ordered Dickerson into court, demanded he reveal the identity of the authors, fined him ten pounds The Dufferin Heights Pioneer monument A close up shows the names and dates of arrival of the pioneer settlers in the area.stearling for contempt of court (about ten week's common wages) and jailed him until the fine was paid.The author of both letters was Francis Armstrong Evans of Kingsey.He.too.was hauled into court and Fletcher advised him to employ counsel.Evans refused, declared the proceedings illegal and refused to answer questions.Fletcher threw him into jail.Evans filed an application for change of venue to Three Rivers.Fletcher discovered it.ruled this further contempt and kept Evans in jail for three months until forced to release him on 400 pounds bail by a write of habeas corpus.Dickerson, meanwhile, had decided freedom of the press was at issue and instituted proceedings to prosecute Fletcher for false arrest at the Court of King's Bench in Three Rivers.Judge Fletcher was duly notified, summoned Dicker-son before him once more, fined and jailed him yet again The Court of King's Bench decided the matter was outside its jurisdiction and a vengeful Judge Fletcher had Dickerson once more arrested, jailed and fined.While all this was going on, Ebenezer Peck (then a Sherbrooke attorney but later Stanstead's representative in the Assembly) also wrote something in the Colonist that angered the judge.He and Dickerson were both arrested, jailed and fined on fresh counts of contempt.Peck's law partner, Edward Short (later Judge Short) was jailed for ten days for daring to disagree with a decision.Judge Fletcher said he'd like to impose an even harsher sentence but didn't know of anything short of capital punishment.Short, "a sociable man with an affable disposition.” reportedly put up his fists and shouted : "I advise your honour to come down and try it." Fletcher was an upper class English immigrant who styled Townships pioneers “brute men of the forest." When one of them, James Melton, appeared on a minor charge, the judge fined him five shillings because he “did not like his countenance." When someone else instituted an action for debt against an officer of the court, it was indignantly thrown out and the plaintiff warned: “If such a thing occurs again, I will send the plaintiff to jail for contempt of court!” Constant complaints eventually forced a special committee of the Legislative Assembly to look into Judge Fletcher’s conduct.Ebenezer Peck and George Kimball (another Sherbrooke attorney) testified before the committee with such effect that Fletcher was ruled derelict in duty, grossly ignorant of law, contemptuous of higher courts, arbitrary and vengeful in decisions.The governor general was asked to dismiss him but nothing was done.Fletcher remained on the bench unbtil 1840 when he retired at the age of 73.Four years later, he was buried in Sherbrooke's Anglican churchyard and a plaque was affixed to the wall of St.Peter's which described him as “an able and upright judge, a profound lawyer, a philosopher deeply versed in almost every science, a ripe and good scholar, an honest, kind and generous man.and a sincere and liberal member of this church.” De mortuis nil isi bonum.JOSEPH SOPER WALTON Silas Horton Dickerson, supported in his fight against Fletcher by all who saw' it as a battle against arbitrary authority, ran in the 1829 election as a reformer but lost to a more radical reformer, Marcus Child.The following year, Ebenezer Peck was returned for Stanstead when Child did not run, but the mood remained reformist.The Colonist firmly supported Papineau's 92 Resolutions which — among other things — demanded the abolition of the British American Land Company which was bringing capital to the Townships.This position cost Dickerson the advertising revenue of Sherbrooke businessmen and incurred the enmity of powerful tories like Captain John Felton, Edward hale and Samuel Brooks.The Colonist was forced into bankruptcy.In 1834.Dickerson was evicted from his printing off ice and Sherbrooke creditors seized his press.It was used to found the Farmer's Advocate & Townships Gazette, a tory weekly published by Walton and Gaylord.Joseph Soper Walton was himself a New Englander but no lover of republicanism.He supported the British American Land Company to such an extent that Edmund Bailey O’Callaghan’s Vindicator suggested the Farmer’s Advocate should be called “the Land Company's advocate.” It nevrtheless prospered to become the Sherbrooke Gazette and eventually today’s Sherbrooke Record.Marcus Child was re-elected in 1834 when Dickerson was president of the Stanstead reformers’ association.Papineau was so pleased with the support he was receiving from English-speaking Township-pers that he paid a visit to Stanstead with Edmund Bailey O’Callaghan in tow.When reform broke into active rebellion, both Marcus Child and Silas Horton Dickerson avoided arrest by fleeing to the United States.FATHER JOHN BAPTIST MCMAHON In November, 1837, the reformers broke into active rebellion and Lt.Col.Frederick Heriot of Drummondville was authorized to recruit a Townships militia.In Sherbrooke, a meeting was held at Swords Hotel and the Queen’s Mounted Rangers, the Loyal American Rifles and the Sherbrooke Dragoons were quickly organized.In Stanstead.Captain Alexander Kilborn.Charles’ son, formed a company of volunteers.In Hatley, Captain Taylor Wadsleigh addressed his militia unit on the troubles, was arrested, imprisoned in Montreal and charged with high treason despite appeals from local dignitaries that he was a reformer, not a rebel.The Catholic church naturally si- ded with authority and its local representative, Father McMahon published a long letter to his Irish constituents in the front page of the Sherbrooke Gazette.He reminded them of the obedience they owed both church and state and held up Ireland as a tragic example of the evils brought on by rebellion.Father McMahon (his parish stretched from Tingwick to Stanstead) was nevertheless running scared.On December 14, he informed his superior that a body of American rebels was assembling on Lake Massawippi, that Mme.William Bowman Felton had moved into town for safety from her Belvidere estate and that other families had vacated border regions for havens further inland He’d heard the rebels were offering 300 acres of Canadian land to every American who’d join their invasion and Father McMahon believed he'd been marked for execution.He asked permission to leave Sherbrooke because it would be attacked at any day.His superior told him to stay put.Judge John Fletcher had sent his wife to Colebrook, New Hampshire, for protection and believed himself a marked man for having jailed rebel sympathizers.Coroner Woodward met him on the Magog bridge one day.“The Rebels are coming ”, wailed the judge.“The rebels are coming and in all probability you will see my head carried on a pole through the woods within a few hours, for as judge, I will be the first to be killed.” Passing His Honour’s Wellington Street home later that day.Woodward noted rifle barrels protruding from every window.Both bridges were guarded day and night and the Magog River bridge had been partiality dismantled.The plan was todiscoverfrom which side the rebels would approach the town, rush across to the far side and drop the bridge into the gorge behind them.Levi Spalding, a Stanstead merchant, travelled down to Montpelier at the end of December and spied on the enemy.He wrote back to Colonel Heriot that they had 600 rifles, four cannons, 10 barrels of powder and a number of French Canadians busily turning that powder into cartridges.Spalding believed they planned to move all this material to Swanton in preparation for a January invasion 4 view on the frontier line near Stanstead plains by VV.H.Bartlett's Canadian

In that same column you said."I’ve received a great many angry letters from salespeople telling me how rotten the public is." Why haven't you printed any of those letters?Can it be that you are a rotten customer yourself?If 1 am wrong, you can prove it by presenting the other side.Here is an original effort which I will call "What Is a Salesclerk?" I hope the feminists will forgive me for using the feminine gender, but I'm a woman and it comes naturally for me.What Is a Salesclerk?A slesclerk is.first and foremost .a human being.She is there to serve you.not to be poked at.yelled at.or sworn at.If she doesn't have an instant answer to your question, please don't tell her she is stupid.A salesclerk is expected to know her merchandise, where it is located and.if it isn’t in stock, approximately when it may be coming in.Don't ask her what other stores carry what her store is out of.She is not a walking encyclopedia.Please be aware that a salesclerk is not required to know- w hat time the post office opens or closes, or how much it will cost to mail various articles.A salesclerk does not set the store's prices, and should not be subjected to abuse if you think the prices are too high.At the end of a hard day's work, a salesclerk does not enjoy putting away merchandise you have left lying all over the place.Try to be orderly and considerate.This also means refraining from getting lipstick and makeup on dresses, sweaters and blouses, or breaking zippers and popping seams because you want to wear a size 10 when you need a 14.A salesclerk does not appreciate it when you smoke while shopping.Tiny holes from loose ash do not enhance the value of merchandise.A salesclerk should not be expected to know what size clothes your granddaughter wears, what color rue would like best in your hallway, or what your Uncle Bert might want for his birthday.You have gathered by now that I am a salesclerk, I enjoy my work, and I am good at it.While most people are thoughtful and pleasant, the few who are not can give the salesclerk a jumbo-size headache.Please be fair.Ann.and print our side of the story.We need to be heard.— Trying To Stay Sane In Cleveland Dear Cleve: Your letter deserved to be printed.I'm glad you wrote.Dear Ann Landers: 1 keep bees as a hobby.Though 1 try to guard against it.I do get stung now and then.The pain is usually severe and lasts two or three days.1 read in your column that rubbing a bee sting with a half a juicy onion would not only stop the pain, but cause the swelling to go down.It sounded improbable and I forgot about it until a few days ago when I was stung by one of my "ladies".I applied the onion and lo and behold, as if by magic, the pain stopped within minutes and the swelling went down.So thank you for a great boon, as well as years of delightful reading.— West Coast Faithful Dear W.D.Faithful: Dozens of readers have written to say they, too.had instant results.(It works for wasp stings too.It's a great feeling to know I've helped Dear Ann Landers: I was appalled by the responses you received from readers critical ol your defense of the handicapped w oman in the restaurant.1 was especially offended by the Mississippi reader who believes handicapped people are not normal She described herself as "a picky eater with a queasy stomach.' Since this is not the state of a healthy person, maybe SHE is the one w ho shouldn't go to restaurants.— C.H.In Indiana Dear Ind Several readers sug- Ann Landers gested another place for her to go.Thanks for writing.Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I have been married eight years.I still owe lüthank-you notes for wedding gifts.I was so busy with parties that I never got around to acknowledging those gifts.As time passed I became more and more ashamed.My husband says."Skip it.They probably forgot that you didn’t write." Please advise.— Guilty In N.C.Dear N.C.: I can tell you that no matter how lousy the memory, people always remember who didn't write a thank-you note for a wedding gift.Apologize for being derelict and get those notes out today.Dear Ann Landers: Thanks for pointing out to "Made My Decision" that many artists, musicians, scientists and writers did their best work when they were in their 60s and 70s.Goethe completed "Faust" after he was 80.Judge Learned Hand completed 50 years of service in 1959 at the age of 87.Amos Alonzo Stagg was still coaching football when he was 100.The list is a long one.— A.H.P.Dear A.: You bet!

thousands of animals are put to death in shelters at the taxpayer’s expense.Hundreds of ads appear in newspapers offering kittens, puppies and adult animals that are no longer wanted.We think nothing of pampering ourselves.Witness the fact that we spend billions of dollars on TVs, cars, cigarettes and beer.But we won't pay a modest sum for neutering and spaying.We leave our pets in overheated automobiles.W'e allow our dogs to ride unprotected in truckbeds.W’e bet on dogfights and dog races.We forget to feed and water caged birds and chained animals.What a big-hearted nation we are to leach across America to keep the Statue of Liberty alive and give aid to Africa and to the farmers.Yet we continue to treat animals badly.We don't deserve the trust and loyalty our animals give us.I question the human spirit if we dare to have so little respect for life.Please, please, if I am talking to you — listen.— Disillusioned in Tampa, Fla.Dear Tampa: Thanks for the wak-up call Are you

getting involved in providing a resource Canadians used to take for granted — clean water.Several companies, using European technology, have gained a foothold in Quebec as municipalities loosen their monopoly on water-purification and sewage-treatment plants.Private industry argues that it can do the job better and cheaper.As water sources become more polluted and local government deficits rise, the argument becomes more convincing.“Canadians were always used to having an abundance of clean water,’’ says Jean-Paul Dunand of So-nexeau Inc., a water-management consulting company.“Municipal governments did not foresee the drop in the quality of water.” Few Canadian towns or cities are using private enterprise in running water plants, says Penina Coopersmith of the newly formed Canadian Water and Wastewater Assocation.But, she said, municipal water authorities are starting to ask questions about it.If Canada’s water were turned over to the private sector the business potential would be interes- ting.to say the least.DEMAND FLUSH Companies are aware that the demand for clean water and sewage treatment will never dry up.Sonexeau is 40-per-cent owned by Lyonnaise des eaux, a Paris-based company which manages 725 water-treatment plants in France, providing drinking water to 9.5 million people.It does business in 20 other countries.notably through an 80-percent interest in General Waterworks, the second-largest such firm in the United States.In France.60 per cent of water treatment centres are privately managed, but all belong to the municipality.Another 40 per cent of Sonexeau is held by Quebec’s major natural gas utility.Gaz Métropolitain, which evidently sees potential in water.Quebec launched a $4.7-billion, 12-year program in 1978 to provide sewage treatment in every city, town and village.The province pays most capital costs, while the municipalities cover the operating costs.Some cities are looking for outside help.Sonexeau has so far landed six contracts to manage or provide expertise for water and sewage plants in four small Quebe cities.Several other companies are also bidding and getting jobs.Sonexeau is also testing the market in Ontario, but it is finding it more difficult to penetrate because most plants are already in place, operated by unionized municipal workers opposed to outside contracting.The worldwide trend to urbanization and water pollution has taken water management beyond the expertise of most city engineers, says Sonexeau's Dunand.Private companies can also finance plant construction, an attraction for debt-ridden municipalities.The Quebec employers group Conseil du patronat has submitted a brief promoting the principle of private water management to the Quebec government.It claims cities can save substantially by contracting out water services, citing a $l-million-a-year tost reduction in Chandler, Ariz.The U S.government allows companies to issue tax-free industrial development bonds to finance water-treatment facilities.How can a town be sure a moneyconscious private company will not skimp on water quality?That’s easy, says the Conseil.Government inspectors make regular checks, as they do now.If the water is not pure, the company is not paid.REGINA (CP) — The weakest link on today's family farm has less to do with finances than with mental health, says Val Farmer, a clinical psychologist from South Dakota.The strong emotional attachment farmers feel for the land of ten blinds them to the harsh economic realities confronting the agriculture industry.Farmer said.Losing a farm "is different form other (losses) because it is the loss of a dream — the loss of a heritage.” he said.But "when it comes to business, you have to set emotions aside and assess your options rationally.which isn't to say that you have to leave farming," he said Wednesday during a workshop on the future of the family farm.The workshop was sponored by the Regina Family Service Bureau and the University of Regina faculty of social work.The same sort of conflict between emotional and financial realities was evident in the Depression of the 1930s, said Farmer, director of the rural enhancement program at the West River Mental Health Centre in Rapid City, S.D.Today, farm families may find even more difficulty coping with financial problems because several generations of the same family may live together."The togetherness of farm families is often remarkable ibut) when it doesn't work the closeness of w ork and home provide a special dimension of tension." he said." CLERGYMAN AGREES A clergyman agreed social pressures, particularly the reluctance of many rural people to talk about their problems, add to the overall stress caused by financial problems."We’ve trained people to think they're failures if they admit to their problems." said Rev.Alan Porter, a United Church Minister from Grenfell, Sask.Women run By Subtly Haddad BAGHDAD (Reuter) — A collective farm on fertile land just west of Baghdad has become a successful.albeit singular, symbol of women's liberation in Iraq."It is a women’s society, where no man may step foot." said Jiha-da Shimran Abbadi.leader of the "Well take a course on accoun- * ting or the latest in weed sprays, -but we won’t ask for help in our personal lives, usually until it s almost too late." he said.Barry Andrew, who runs a farm northeast of Regina, said ”1 don't think we re at the point of ; going to public meetings and saying Hey, I need help.'" Farmer said farmers can take ; the first step toward communtiy problem-solving by holding regular business meetings to improve ; their communication skills.He ; said potential family conflicts : can be solved if farmers plan ! their estates well ahead of time.Farm management consultants can help by seeking training in individual and family counselling, he said.collective ques are used under plans set by the Agriculture Ministry, said Ji-hada, who is 50 years old and married.Farm products, mainly vege- .tables and cereals, including an : annual wheat harvest in excess of ; 1.200 tonnes, are sold by the workers to the government and to Pulp and paper shipments up 25 per cent By Dennis Bueckert MONTREAL (CP) — The Canadian pulp and paper industry is having its best year since the 1981-82 recession, thanks in large part to the decline of the Canadian dollar.Howard Hart, president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, said in an interview that shipments in 1986 are expected to total a record 22.2 million tonnes.In the first 10 months of 1986, shipments to Europe were up over last year by 27 per cent and to Latin America by 25 per cent.The industry is operating at roughly 93-per-cent capacity, the highest level in about five years, and earningsare returning to prerecession levels, Hart said.The improved conditions are reflected in the earnings of bellwether firms such as MacMillan Bloedel Inc.of Vancouver and Domtar Inc.of Montreal.MacMillan Bloedel reported a profit before extraordinary items of $110 million in the first three quarters of 1986 — almost five times the profit it recorded in the same period of 1985.Domtar reported a profit of $93.9 million in the first three quarters, up 40 per cent over the same period in 1985.DOLLAR DECLINES Ray Kilroy, an investment analyst with Nesbitt Thomson Deacon, said the decline of the Canadian dollar has made Canadian pulp and paper products more competitive in offshore markets.The corresponding rise in Scandinavian currencies has made their products more costly and this has played a role in the general firming of prices, said Kilroy.He said companies that produce mainly pulp are doing best, while those with a lot of exposure in newsprint, such as Abitibi-Price Inc., are not doing as well.The price of newsprint has been stagnant for a long time, even though the industry finally succeeded in imposing a price increase this fall.Hart said it would be an “gross overstatemnt” to describe the pulp and paper industry as booming, since it is still running short of full capacity.But, he added, “we’re finally approaching the earning levels that existed five or six years ago.” PROFITS HEALTHY When the North American currencies were relatively weak in 1979,1980 and the first half of 1981, the Canadian pulp and paper industry churned out profits at an average rate of well over $150 mil- lion per quarter, estimates by the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association show.But earnings began to fall in the second half of 1981 as the U.S.dollar began its record-setting rise, taking the Canadian dollar with it.“We went from the point of being a low-cost industry to being one of the highest-cost industries in the world," said Hart.As the industry hit bottom in the second half of 1982, it was losing nearly $50 million a quarter.Companies slashed costs w'herever possible, said Hart, and the rate of modernization was slowed.The long climb of the North American currencies finally ended in February 1985.The estimated profits of the industry in 1985 approached $100 million per quarter.Overall estimates for 1986 are not available.Tough rules could kill Alberta stock experiment EDMONTON (CP) — Tougher rules proposed for blind-pool stocks in Alberta could kill the controversial experiment, says a stockbroker."I don’t think the concept is workable in this form,” Keith Alexander, a stockbroker and former member of the provincial legislature, said If the new rules are approved in the form announced this week.Alexander said, “I suspect this concept will quietly fade away.” He said he doesn't understand why the Alberta Securities Commission wants to increase the minimum price of a nickel-stock share to 25 cents.Alexander said the low cost was intended to reduce the risk but the proposed change “multiplies the risk by five.” He questioned a proposal to stop blind pools from buying ito foreign companies.“It’s not part of the commission mandate to tell Alberta businessmen they can’t deal offshore.” Jim Milliken, president of the Alberta Stock Exchange, said foreign deals are too hard to evaluate.He said news of a deal tends to spark speculation, even though ordinary investors have no way of knowing what is going on.Blind pools have been permitted since February as nickel-stock offerings which are not required to disclose assets or business plans.Shareholders pool their money, leaving blind-pool managers to look for ways to invest it in an existing company or business.MAJOR CHANGE The proposed new policy would require blind-pool managers to file a prospectus providing full details when they take over other companies or invest in a business deal.“I don’t see that as practical,” said Mike Prew, a Calgary-based stockbroker with Yorkton Securities Inc.He suggested requiring independent third-party evaluations of takeovers would provide investors with enough information.The commission has imposed a moratorium on new blind pools until after public hearings to review the proposed new policy are held Nov.10 in Edmonton and Nov.13 in Calgary.The commission modified its initial policy on May 30 to reduce the risk of stock manipulation.One change required that a nickel company’s promoters, officers, directors and other insiders keep their shares in escrow so they can't be sold for one to five years.Commission spokesman Gail Harding said the new policy will allow insiders to recover all of their stock in as little as three years.The commission has approved 32 blind-pool offerings to date.Another 31 are waiting for approval.The new rules are designed to prevent situations such as the one involving Audit Resources Inc.and North Sun International Inc., new companies which were trading in nickel stocks.The firms received permanent cease-trade orders from the commission in August after it became evident contracts they said they undertook were never signed or were non-existent.Business briefs MONTREAL (CP) — Alcan Aluminium Ltd.says it plans to sell its 20.5 per cent interest — about a million shares — in Haley Industries Ltd., a company based in Haley, Ont.that manufactures specialty castings for the international aerospace industry.Alcan said it acquired the holding while seeking investment opportunities outside its main activity of aluminum production.The company said proceeds of the sale through the Toronto Stock Exchange will be redeployed in other new business ventures.MONTREAL (CP) — Montreal Trustee Inc.said it has completed the acquisition of all shares of Bank of America Canada Mortgage Corp., gaining a residential mortgage portfolio of $250 million.he closing of the transaction adds 5,700 new residential mortgage clients to Montreal Trust's porfolio of about $2 4 billion.MONTREAL (CP) — Foresbec Inc., which exports Canadian hardwood mostly to Asia and Europe, says revenue for the three months ended Sept.30 reached $4,160,815, up from $2,256,760 for the same quarter a year ago.Net earnings rose to $323.934.or six cents a share, from $14,743, or one cent, for the previous period.Company president Guy Boisse said the sharp rise in sales was due largely to the installation of four dryers which have enabled the company to double its productive capacity and improve profit margins.MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec's largest employers group, Le Conseil du patronat, says it is astonished that Quebec-Telephone has been ordered to repay $18 million to subscribers who were overcharged.The council said the decision by the provincial utilities board set a dangerous precedent that could discourage companies from developing operations in Quebec."This decision ignores good financial management and administration and does nothing to encourage Quebec companies to perform better." it said in a statement.Quebec-Telephone, which operates phone services in some regions outside Montreal, has already announced it will not appeal the board's decision.AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.began a tender offer for up to 40 million of its common shares at $50 US a share under a restructuring attemp to thwart a hostile takeover bid by financier James Goldsmith.The tender offer is to expire Jan.16 unless extended, and is not contingent on a minimum number of shares being tendered.Goodyear has about 64,000 shareholders of record who hold 98 million common shares and their associated rights.Goodyear shares were up 25 cents to $43 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading Wednesday.NEW YORK ( AP) - Exxon Corp.said it plans to sell its Reliance Electric Co.subsidiary and other companes being managed by Reliance for $1.35 billion US.The world's largest oil company-said it will sell the package to a group of investors comprised of Reliance management, Citicorp Capital Investors and Prudential-Bache Securities Inc.Exxon said it expects to conclude the deal by the end of the month, and that it should generate an estimated after-tax gain of more than $275 million.The announcement came one day after Exxon said it and Rockefeller Group Inc.were selling Exxon's 54-storey midtown New York headquarters to a division of the Japanese conglomerate Mitsui and Co.for $610 million US.NEW YORK(AP) —The Federal Reserve Bank of New York said it has designated two Japanese financial institutions as primary dealers in U.S.government securities.the first Japanese firms to gain the designation.The U.S.nits of two of Japan's biggest securities firms — Daiwa Securities America Inc.and Nomura Securitieslnternational Inc.— were among five companies added to the list of 35 primary dealers.the New- York Fed said.The other companies added were: L.F.Rothschild, Uterberg, Towbin Inc.; Security Pacific National Bank: and Thomson McKinnon Securities Inc.BONN, West Germany (AP) — Washington's top trade official warned the United States might be forced to retaliate unless a trade dispute with the European Community is resolved before year end.U.S.Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter said the United States had suffered millions of dollars in lost exports in 1986 because of the entry of Spain and Portugal into the European Community.WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S.Transportation Department gave final approval to Delta Air Lines' $860 million US

Federation to test the potential of peasant women to share in the country’s development.In Iraq, as in most Moslem countries, a women's role traditionally is in the home.But war with Iran has allowed many Iraqi women to take over jobs normally held by men.The number of women working in government offices and major industries has increased with the military conscription of hundreds of thousands of men since the Persian Gulf war started in 1980.At Mazra'at al-Nisa'a, or The Women’s Farm, 20 kilometres west of Baghdad, modern techni- local merchants.More than 400 kilograms of pure honey are also produced each year.Each worker receives a portion of the crop and a minimum monthly wage of 120 dinars, or about $560 Cdn, more than the average for a government worker with eight years of service."The figure is minimum,” said Jihada.“Some of them make more than 200 dinars (almost $900 Cdn), plu a percentage from the profit the farm makes.” PAY NO RENT Married workers live rent-free with their families in nearby houses.There is a kindergarten for young children, while others go to school.Each house, with two bedrooms, is furnished with a color television, an air-conditioner, refrigerator, freezer and gas stove.TeHirH THE NEW LOOK OF QUALITY!

Fordyce Women s Institute celebrated By Doris Dougall On November 27, about 40 mem-D*r® of the Fordyce W.I.gathered at Emmanuel United Church, Cowansville, to receive their name tags etched in gold on blue papier, 'the artistic work of Kevin Durkee of Smiths Falls, Ont., grandson of Mrs.Reda Lewis).These were handed out by Mrs.J une Royea, Secretary, and the members were asked to sign the guest book before proceeding to the Auberge de Carrefour.After the W.I.grace was repeated in unison they were served a delicious chicken dinner.When all had enjoyed this sumptuous repast, they returned to the church hall for an afternoon of reminiscing and entertainment, the latter being under the direction of Mrs.Evelyn Clarke and Mrs.Evelyn Lewis.The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the buffet table being centred by a very attractive anniversary cake iced in gold and blue with the Crest “For Home and Country” and flanked by beautiful arrangements of blue and yellow carnations, (W.I.colours), and shasta daisies.Small tables were set up, each centred by small flower arrangements, all being done by Mrs.Noella Smith.The program was opened by all repeating the Collect in unison.Mrs.Irene Williams, President, then cordially welcomed all with a special welcome to Mrs.Edna Lon-geway and the charter members who are the Mrs.Anna Louise Bromby, Hattie Bowling, Annie Dryden, Gladys Dustin, Reda Lewis, Ruby Moore, Noella Smith.Else Syberg, Winnie Sanborn, Marjorie Carter, (the latter two ladies are not members at present).Mrs.Carl Clark, Mrs.Leslie Dryden, and Mrs.George Hansen were also Charter members but unfortunately were unable to attend.Five Results members who were very faithful and worked hard for Home and Country are now deceased.A moment of silence was held for these members, Mrs.George Hooper, our Founder and 1st Pres.Mrs.George David, our 1st.Vice-Pres.Miss Guila Jones, our 1st.Treas., also Mrs.Wilton Dryden and Mrs.Velma Bell and others who were faithful members of our W.I.over the 40 years.The following poem was read.They were friends whose hearts were good.Who walked with folks and understood.Their voices spoke to cheer That felt like music to our ears.Their s were smiles folks loved to see, And hands that asked no fee For friendliness and kindness done.And now that they have journeyed on Their names will never end.They have left behind uncounted friends.The minutes of the first meeting of 1946 were read by the first Secretary, Mrs.Anna Louise Bromby.Mrs.Evelyn Clarke then proceeded to the piano and accompanied Mrs.Evelyn Lewis while she sang two songs: “My God” and “The Lilac Tree”.Mrs.Williams introduced the charter members, followed by Mrs.Reda Lewis giving a resume of the past 40 years of the Institute.“After organizing in November 1946, in January 1947 we joined the Blue Cross Health Plan.In June plans were made to send a parcel to a family in England every month.Also in 1947 our first cook book was compiled, followed by-two others.In 1951 an Austrian child was adopted and for several years boxes of clothing and gifts were sent to her and her family.396J603 357K531 546L908 206M705 « NUMBERS PRIZES » .Draw: 86*12-12

he giveth not account of any of his matters.For God speaketh once, yea, twice, yet man perceiveth it not” (Job 33:12-14).Sometimes a war is called a quarrel, or a fist fight is a quarrel.But the most common form of striving is with words.Words over a backyard fence, or words launched into debate at Parliament, men striving with men is nothing unusual.What can we say when we are found, especially with words, to strive or quarrel with God?Sickness or death or a common annoyance can bring out cursings and bitterness and condemnations foul beyond any pollution’s power because the Lord is in some way attacked, silently or orally.The sufferings of the righteous man, Job, are not legendary or simply proverbial.They are biblical fact.His friends failed to understand them.One friend, Elihu, thought Job was striving with God in his anguish and lamentation over what had befallen him.So Elihu is recorded as giving the words of our text.Elihu was a poor comforter but he did speak truths we can apply today.The last time you were hard pressed, what did you really think?Is there anyone who has not demanded an explanation or some account from God?Haven’t we all somewhere, sometime even many times charged God?A more thoughtful and truthful season would bring us to Job’s position: “How should man be just before God?If he will contend with him (God), he cannot answer him once in a thousand times” (Job 9:2,3).There really is no striving with God.for “God is greater than man” in every way, eternally, infinitely; in unapproachable and unassailable holiness.So.why do we attempt the impossible?It is because we do not perceive that God has spoken.One of the implications of the text is, it would not matter how many times the Lord spoke.You will not understand it any better unless God gives you power of perception.When the Lord revealed things to Israel throughout their journey from Egypt into Canaan, God described the instruction as progressive, or coming one bit upon another: “precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line ; here a little, there a little”.Yet.the majority of the nation disobeyed.Because of unbelief, they lacked the power to understand properly Religious Texts iy Rev.Ronald B.Stewart Eaton Regular Baptist Church what God was showing them (Isa.28:13ff).When the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, one of the first and most important things to be established was: it takes the possession of the Holy Spirit living within the heart to understand spiritual things.The things of the Spirit will be foolishness to anyone else.In fact, no one else is ABLE to know them — not a scientist, professor or Nobel prize winner, not anyone.And, spiritual things touch all things.(1 Cor.2:4-16).That means whether God’s ways are shown to you in nature or in the Bible, no Holy Spirit within you means no understanding.You will continually strive with God in one way or another because nothing can satisfy you.Certainly, it is not because God is in any way imperfect.It is because you cannot perceive (see and know properly) whatever God has put before you.For example, all the goodnesses of natural beauty and abundance which we enjoy in Canada, all the surpassing excellent glories of God displayed in the Bible, all the beauties of the Saviour — all is lost to your blindness, to vain efforts of striving with God.These things should have brought you to repentance (Rom.2:4).God has told us there are secret things of His.and revealed things that belong to us (Deut.29:29).You can insist on trying to pry open what God has sealed in secret.Or, you can turn from that futile quarrel.In humble confession of your sins before God, through faith in Christ, you will learn what it means, personally, that God is greater than man.Sometimes the Lord will lead you through severe trials to teach such things as patient, compassion and deeper trust.He will chastise believers as a father a son (Heb.12:6).His natural ways will as the sun and the rain fall upon the just and the unjust.But the first grade in a spiritual education includes the truth.Why strive against God?Bulwer Morris and Roberta Smith were dinner guests of Mrs.Rhena Williams in

a shot at the playoffs heading into the last week of the NFL season.It only seems that way.While the NFC has made things simple, the AFC playoff picture is one big jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces missing.Not only are the identities of three of the six conference playoff teams a mystery but the methods by which they' can earn positions in the chase for the Super Bowl are equally mystifying.The Cleveland Browns won the AFC Central title on Sunday with a 34-3 rout of the Cincinnati Bengals.If the 11-4 Brow ns beat the San Diego Chargers next week, they will have the home-field advantage for all of their conference playoff contests.The Denver Broncos already have the AFC West title and they clinched the NFC East championship for the New York Giants by beating Washington Redskins 31-30 on Saturday.The New York Jets, mired in a four-game slide that has taken them from the top of the NFL to a 10-5 record and a tie with New England Patriots for first place in the AFC East, w'ere handed a wildcard slot when Kansas City Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Raiders 20-17 Sunday.The day before, the Jets were beaten by Pittsburgh Stee-lers 45-24.The defending AFC champion Patriots fell to San Francisco 49ers 29-24 and must beat the Miami Dolphins next Monday night to win the East.If they lose, the Jets get the division title no matter what they do in Cincinnati on Sunday.Kansas City can nail down a wild-card berth by winning at Pittsburgh next weekend.Cincinnati must beat the Jets to have a chance at a wild card.Seattle Seahawks.which took San Diego34-24 Sunday.needs a win over Denver next Saturday to stay alivefor a wild card.The tiebreaker combinations are such that they could result in almost anyone getting in.including Miami and the Raiders, both 8-7.If the Raiders win against the India- napolis Colts and Seattle.Cincinnati and Kansas City lose, they make the playoffs.And if the Raiders and those other teams are ho'iton and Miami downs New En- gland.the Dolphins get in.The NFC avoided all of that wildness when the Minnesota Vikings lost to the Houston Oilers 23-10 and the Dallas Cowboys were upset 23- imk ' y ¦ y Ï hings are sort of upside-down in the XFL, not a lot unlike in this game between the Hears and the Paekers.21 by the Philadelphia Eagles.Combined with the 49ers' victory, the five post-season berths were secured.The Giants.27-7 winners over St.Louis Cardinals, reign in the East, with Washington the host wildcard team.The Chicago Bears, who \ isit the Detroit Lions tonight, own the Central crown.The 49ers are a half-game behind the Los Angeles Rams, who lost 37-31 to Miami in overtime, in the West, and they meet Friday night.Also on Sunday, it was Indianapolis 24.Buffalo Bills 14: Green Bay Packers 21.Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7: and New Orleans Saints 14.Atlanta Falcons 9.Browns 34 Bengals 3 From the opening play of the game.Cleveland's plan was obvious — throw bombs, force the action and try to outdo the NFL s hottest attack 49ers 29 Patriots 24 San Francisco used another big-play method to subdue the Patriots — turnovers.The 49ers.who lead the league in takeaways, scored their final 10 points after a fumble recovery and an interception.Ray Wersching s 20-yard field goal followed Tory Nixon's recovery of Tony Collins fumble.Chiefs 20 Raiders 17 Turnovers also cost the Raiders, who lost the ball seven times.Tw o of those turnovers came in the final period, when a fumble by Napoleon McCallum was recovered by Tim Cofield and Kevin Ross intercepted a Jim Plunkett pass.Oilers 23 Vikings 10 Three field goals by Tony Zonde-jas and five Minnesota turnovers were the difference.Warren Moon hit Ernest Givins with a 10-yard touchdown pass and Allen Pinkett scored on a one-yard run for Houston.Dolphins 37 Rams 31 Dan Marino continued to dominate defences — even one as solid as the Rams Marino threw for five touchdowns, including the winning score of 20 yards to Mark Duper 3:04 into overtime.Seahawks 34 Chargers 24 Seattle quarterback Dave Krieg threw four touchdown passes, two in the fourth quarter, and the Sea-hawks won their fourth straight game.Giants 27 Cardinals 7 Joe Morris ran for 179 yards, scored three touchdowns and broke his own club-record for rushing with 1.401 yards.The victory was the eighth straight for the 13-2 Giants, who have won their first division title since 1963 and will host their NFC playoff games if they win next week against Green Bay- Eagles 23 Cowboys 21 Philadelphia won its first division game of the year despite a sensational performance by Hersehel Walker The Cowboys running back ran 84 yards for a touchdown, caught a scoring pass for 84 yards and compiled a club-record 292 combined yards.His scoring run was the NFL s longest this vear Colts 21 Bills 14 Indianapolis, which lost its first 13 games this year, has won both of its games under coach Ron Meyer.The victory over Buffalo moved the Colts behind Tampa Bay,in the order for next year's NFL draft.Packers 21 Bucs 7 Green Bay sacked Tampa Bay quarterback Steve Young seven times, while Randy Wright completed 14 of 25 passes for 190 yards to join Lynn Dickey as the only players in Green Bay history to pass for more than 3.000 yards in a season.Saints 14 Falcons 9 Dave Wilson scored on a six-yard bootleg run with 1 55 left as New Orleans snapped a three-game losing streak.The Saints fell behind 9-7 on Ali Haji-Sheikh s 43-yard field goal with 5:39 to play, then drove 75 yards in 12 plays for the winning score.Joe Faragalli will be named new Als’ coach TORONTO (CP) — Joe Faragalli, a veteran coach with experience in both the CFL and NFL.will be named as the new head coach of the Montreal Alouettes on Monday, the Toronto Sun says.The newspaper says Faragalli, an assistant coach with the Buffalo Bills of the NFL, will fly to Montreal for a news conference.A source close to the Bills said Buffalo head coach Marv Levy recommended Faragalli for the job, the paper reports.Levy became Buffalo's head coach succeeding Hank Bullough on Nov.3 after resigning as the Als director of football operations.Faragalli wras an assistant coach with the Edmonton Eskimos from 1977 to 1980, the head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders 1981-1983 and twice was an assistant coach with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.Gooden arrested after skirmish with police Sunday wasn’t so great but Saturday was ‘Canada Day’ By The Canadian Press One day after O Canada was played on the slopes of the European ski resorts, the familiar refrain of the Swiss national anthem was heard following a World Cup ski race.On Sunday at Val d’Isere.France, Maria Walliser of Switzerland took the gold in the women's super GS following second-place finishes in the downhill races on Friday and Saturday.Meanwhile, at La Villa, the locals were treated to a popular 1-2-3 Italian sweep in the men's giant slalom which was headed by Richard Pramotton.Saturday, though, was Canada Day on the World Cup circuit as Laurie Graham of Inglewood.Ont., won the women’s downhill at Val dTsere and Rob Boyd of Whistler.B.C.the men's downhill at Val Gardena, Italy.The victory for Boyd was stunning news for home-town favorite

believe it.I simply can't believe this."What a thrill.T knew I was having a good run but nothing made me think it was a winning run." Boyd's best prior WC finish had been a sixth in a downhill at Are.Sweden, last year.His margin of victory over Mair ot Italy was 14 one-hundredths of a second.Felix Belczykol'Castlegar.B.C.was the next best Canadian, placing 19th.The victory for Graham, meanwhile, was far more commonplace.It was her first of Die season and sixth, including five downhills, in World Cup history.Graham's victory topped a good TAMPA.Fla.(APi — New York Met pitching star Dwight Gooden was arrested Saturday night after a scuffle with police.Gooden and two officers were treated in hospital for minor injuries.Tampa police Lieut.T.L.Cotter said Sunday.Gooden.22.was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a police officer.Cotter said."It was all pushing, shoving and kicking — that type of thing." Cotter said."There were no weapons involved." Also arrested were Gary Sheffield.18.a nephew of Gooden; Vance Lovelace.23.a former high-school teammate of Gooden, and a 17-year-old, all of Tampa.All except the 17-year-old were released on their own recognizance.The teenager was handed over to state juvenile officers.The incident began just before 11 p.m.Saturday when an officer spotted a Mercedes-Benz and a red Corvette weaving toward each other in north Tampa.Cotter said.The officer pulled over the two cars.As Gooden got out of the Mercedes.the Corvette sped away, then returned.Cotter said.A second police car pulled up and a third private vehicle stopped alongside.At this point.Gooden is alleged to have scuffled with a policeman.and the occupants of the other vehicles jumped in.Before the melee was subdued, one policeman suffered a mild concussion.Cotter said.He added that to his knowledge the arrested men had not been tested for alcohol or drugs."1 can t speculate what was originally on the officer's mind who stopped them.' Cotter said."But with the violent reaction that the officers received they couldn't really give them a sobriety test." Gooden won the National League's Cy Young Award in 1985 with a 24-4 record and a 1.53 ear-ned-run average.This year he helped the Mets intothe World Series with a 17-6 record and a 2.84 ERA.but fared poorly in the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.Sheffield and Lovelace also are professional baseball players.Lovelace, a pitcher, was a former No.1 draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Sheffield, a third baseman, was a No.1 draft choice of the Milwaukee Brewers this vear.Dwight Gooden, phew.arrested with ne- Games Chairman has to go for hard sell ¦-» .V1 • 1 n t f-l »* •» rl r- V-, 1 w G 1 .1- 1 ¦ .Laurie Graham.won downhill on Saturday.day for the Canadian women, as teammate Liisa Savijarvi of Bra-cebridge.Ont., finished fifth.Walliser finished second with Catherine Quittet of France, third.Graham said everything came together in the race."I felt good.The very first turn that you see right out of the start is a blind turn and you don't know for sure if you have enough direction.And so when 1 came over.I was in a perfect position and I knew I was doing well."

By Paul Woods CALGARY (CP) - The lights in the wood-frame community hall dim and the film projector is switched on.Violins swell on the soundtrack and images of figure skaters, hockey players and ski jumpers flicker on the small screen.After the 20-minute film, a smooth-voiced man with soft, blue eyes gives a sales pitch to about 30 people.The man is Frank King and he’s trying to sell the 1988 Winter Olympic Games.King, chairman and chief executive of the Olympic organizing committee, is making his pitch in Calgary, host city of the Games.Five years after the Games were awarded to the Stampede City and 14 months before they begin, the organizers are in the unexpected position of having to sell Calgarians on the merits of the Games.And the job won t be easy.There has been a stunning lack of sales for pre-Olympic events this winter, and a series of highly publi cized ticket w'oes.Brian Murphy, general manager of international sports relations, has resigned, becoming the eighth top Calgary Games executive to quit or be fired.A management review report said the organizing committee is perceived by many Calgarians as "a closed and secretive private organization." MORE OPEN" It suggested that a "people-oriented" chief executive be appointed to establish "a more open and supportive environment." In stepped King.50.a successful businessman who had been volunteer chairman of the organizing committee.His biggest challenge is the ticket problems.Two months ago.the Games ticket manager was fired and charged with fraud, theft and mischief in connection with irregularities in U.S.order forms.And the Games organizers admitted that insiders — corporate sponsors, governments, Olympic officials and working media — would take up to half the seats at the most popular events, such as hockey and figure skating.At the first of a series of community meetings.King tackled the ticket issue head on.defending the organization in a folksy, half-hour chat.He made no apologies for allocating tickets to insiders.Corporate sponsors are putting $400 million into the coffers, he said, saving taxpayers from having to pay for these Games.•OBLIGATIONS' "With that kind of money coming in.there are going to be obligations to invite these people to the Games." King said.He added that there are 1.7 million tickets for the Games and 800,000 are still unsold."The people of Calgary probably have three times as many opportunities to attend the Games in their home town as any home town audience has ever had.” Scoreboard He told his listeners of the need for a big increase in volunteers and asked for their support.Afterward.King said he does not feel awkward having to sell the Games to Calgarians."We need the whole city onside and that's going to be my chief job." he said.David Wolper, a top executive at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, said the Calgary organizers should press on."My advice is to close their eyes and move ahead and don't worry what anybody says," Wolper said."Do what they think is right and don t worry what the press and public says." Wolper said it's not unusual for people in the host city to be skeptical."A lot ot the skepticism actually comes from the press," he said.There s a tendency to focus on the negative.But as soon as the events start to take place, then it becomes positive."

next few days, thanks to his first professional hockey game in 18 months.The 37-year centre scored the winning goal Sunday night for the Nova Scotia Oilers of the American Hockey League in step one of his long-shot bid to return to the NHL — and in the process won a customary free dinner at a local steakhouse.One of the few perks of life in the minor leagues.“I’ve been eating out a lot so that’s always nice,” laughed Goring.moments after helping Nova Scotia beat the Moncton Golden Flames 4-2.Goring is on a tryout with Nova Scotia in an attempt to crack the parent Edmonton lineup.He was coach of Boston Bruins last season and for the first three weeks of this season before being fired.“The first couple of shifts I wondered if it was ever going to get easier, it was really a struggle,” he said.“But I seemed to feel more comfortable as the game wore on so that was encouraging.” Goring, who played 14 seasons in the NHL and was a member of the New York Islanders when they won four Staney Cups, was out for the opening faceoff and took a regular shift thereafter.SLOWS DOWN A step slower than in his glory days in the NHL, the Manitoba native kept his shifts short but rarely seemed out of place against players up to 17 years his junior.“I probably looked slow at times, and I was,” he said.“But the progress is going in the right direction and I expect to look a lot better in the next game.” Goring, who scored 375 goals and 513 assists in 1,107 NHL games, said he’ll know by the end of the month whether he has a legitimate shot at making Edmonton.“I think by that time I should be able to tell enough,” he said.“I should know by then whether I have reason to continue or whether I can’t make it again.” Goring scored on his only shot of the game when he took a centring pass from Jeff Brubaker and beat Moncton goaltender Pat Riggin, who ironically played under Goring in Boston.Did it bother Riggin to be beaten by his former coach?“It didn't bother me any more than anyone else scoring a goal,” he said.“I don’t like anyone scoring on me but that’s the way he scores all his goals — from in close.” KILLS PENALTIES Nova Scotia coach Larry Kish showed little reluctance to play his newest player.Besides taking a regular shift.Goring also took a turn killing penalties.“I thought, generally, he played pretty good,” said Kish.“The smarts are still there, you can see it.He knows where to go, the right places to go." Brubaker, a veteran of several NHL teams including the Hartford Whalers, said many of his teammates are in awe of Goring, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy during New York’s second Stanley Cup win.' ‘ Most of these guys are feeling the same thing I felt when I broke in.” said Brubaker.“I had the pleasure of playing with Gordie Howe on my first NHL shift and a lot of these guys feel the same way about Butch.” Goring’s presence attracted the curious as well as media from as far away as Boston.Over 3,600 took in the comeback.It was the largest crowd of the season.The Oilers average just over 2,000 fans a game.Peyton-McDonald died 12 hours after entering the hospital Saturday.A former Stanford swimmer.Peyton-McDonald first disclosed in 1979 that she had an inoperable, non-cancerous brain tumor.• NEW YORKiAPi —DonSperan za of the Reebok Racing Team of New7 York won the 10-kilometre on Sunday, the opening race in New York Road Runners 15th annual winter series, in 30 minutes 32 seconds through Central Park.The field of 1,338 competed in -5 Celsius degree temperature.Finishing 80 metres off the pace was Richard McNally of Jersey City.N.L.runner-up for the second straight year, in 30:47.Tom Phillips of New York followed in 30:35.Cindy Girard-Klein of the Ata-lanta Track Club set a meet record of 33:25 in winning the women's gold medal.M7-MW r TÊLDEN J caw mmu.* mowo thuou WHOCeKD WtClALt cHmutmtos
