The boards claimed the British North Amei'ica Act gave them a historic “protected right" to determine what their students were taught.Association president John Simms said that while parts of the government curriculum are “advanced and worthwhile,” it is "in flexible" and cannot be adapted to local and community needs.Simms said school boards should be able to negotiate with Quebec over course content.He said the court ruling would probably be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, and in the meantime French-language Protestant schools would continue to offer second language English courses before the fourth grade.RCMP: Labor code violates Charter 25th anniversary swan song at Marymount Quebec Mounties question labor law By Nelson Wyatt MONTREAL (CP) — RCMP members who have failed in several attempts to form a union have challenged two federal labor laws in Quebec Superior Court, saying they violate their Constitutional rights.The Canada Labor Code and the Public Service Staff Relations Act violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Gaétan Delisle, president of an association of Quebec-based Mounties, said Wednesday.“These laws and federal labor le- A motion, filed in the court on gislation permit collective bargai- Monday, is to be heard in Montreal ning for virtually all federal employees and yet these rights are denied to members of the RCMP,’’ he told a news conference.If the Quebec Mounties obtain the right to organize, it could be the first step to a national RCMP union.Quebec’s judges underpaid?QUEBEC (CP) — Justice Minister Herbert Marx acknowledged Wednesday that Quebec judges aren’t paid enough and promised to recommend that they receive salary hikes.“There is too large a gap between the salaries of provin-cially appointed judges and federally appointed judges,” Marx said when questioned about published reports that top provincial judges have threatened to quit over the salary issue.“We’re going to make recommendations to reduce that gap.Everybody would agree that the judges deserve an increase in pay,” said Marx, who refused to say by how much salaries would rise.Provincially appointed judges draw an average salary of $75,387 a year, compared with the $127,000 paid to Quebec Superior Court justices who are named by Ottawa.Marx said he will act only after receiving a report expected in about 10 days from a committee studying judges’ salaries.He said he has received no resignation threats from judges and only learned of the possibility from news reports.PLANS MEETING Marx said he is in frequent contact with the judges and will meet with chief judges soon to discuss the salary dispute.Published reports that a preliminary report from the jurists recommended salary increases of $25,000 are false, he said.June 5.If the court rejects the application, the association plans to pursue the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.RCMP officers have been allowed since 1974 to establish informal staff associations but not a certified union.Quebec members have been lobbying to form a union for the past year.HIT SNAG Delisle said 812 of the 865 noncommissioned ranks in the force’s Quebec region have joined the organizing drive but they hit a snag last September when the Canada Labor Relations Board ruled it had no jurisdiction to certify a union within the RCMP.Delisle said the officers, whose actions are being closely watched by RCMP brass and others in the 14,000-member force, don’t want the right to strike.He said such matters as working conditions, hours, overtime rules and pensions could be settled by binding arbitration as long as a union is allowed.Currently, the Treasury Board sets RCMP salaries, which approach $38,000 for a first-class constable with four years experience and are on a par with most major police forces.Working conditions are decided by the force’s commissioner and other senior ranks.“With arbitration, we would be able to adjudicate in grievance procedures, in dismissals,” said Delisle, who explained that such matters now may only be pursued in the courts.“Right now, we don’t have the right to speak on behalf of the members,” he said.He argued that since national security duties were turned over to the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service in the early 1980s, there is no good reason to bar a union.Andre Nadon, a vice-president of the Canadian Police Association which represents police officers across Canada, said his group backed the RCMP officers.“They're definitely being treated unfairly.” Nadon said.“Collective bargaining is a fundamental right.The government should facilitate the way these people could get organized.“But they’re still in the Dark Ages as far as this is concerned.” Refugees in real fear won’t be turned away OTTAWA (CP) — Refugees in real fear of their lives will not be turned away at the border under rules contained in legislation just introduced in the Commons, junior immigration minister Gerry Weiner said Wednesday.Weiner told the Commons that someone who claims to be a refugee at the Canadian border will have to meet certain conditions before they will be admitted.But if there is “a shred of a chance that the individual has a fear of persecution,” Weiner said that person will get a hearing before an independent refugee deter mination board.Weiner was responding to questions from Liberal MP Sergio Mar-chi.w ho said the government was “beating up on genuine refugees who are nationless." Bill C-55, introduced in the Commons on Tuesday, is designed to reduce the number of people who claim to be refugees in order to get around normal immigration procedures.Opposition critics, church groups, and immigration lawyers fear it may make it harder for genuine refugees to come to Canada.Under the new system, an immigration official and a member of the independent refugee board will examine each claimant at the border.They will turn away those who have refugee status in another country or have had a reasonable opportunity to apply in that country.They will also deny access to those who arrived from a third country where they may be considered to be safe, those who have clearly unfounded claims, those who have already been denied refugee status in Canada, and those who have been ordered deported L «I f * ' % U Ü Students at Sherbrooke's Marymount were in full voice Wednesday during their annual spring concert.The occasion marked the primary school's 25th anniversary hut

Mulroney’s tentative constitutional deal with the premiers, Mulroney’s federal-provincial relations minister predicted Wednesday “We have succeeded in making, I think, a much more balanced federation,” Senator Lowell Murray told skeptical Liberals during a Se- nate question period devoted almost entirely to the issue.“You could have got just as good a deal and not paid such a price,” retorted Royce Frith, the Liberals’ deputy leader in the Senate.“Bad negotiation.” Frith, appointed to the Senate in 1977 by Pierre Trudeau, cited Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa’s boast that he won a great deal for Quebec at last week’s meeting with Mulroney and the premiers at nearby Meech Lake, Que.“Quebec got a great deal out of it, yes,” Murray replied, citing the promise of greater power over immigration, a veto over some amendments and a role in the appointment of senators and members of the Supreme Court.“I could enumerate the ways in which Quebec has gained a great deal and a great deal more power Subdued response for PM in West By Tim Naumetz LETHBRIDGE, Alta.(CP) -Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, on a three-day tour of the Prairies to boost sagging popularity, predicts his party will rebound in the region by the next general election.But shortly after Mulroney made the comment Wednesday while visiting a natural-gas field near Alberta’s foothills, party faithful gave him a subdued response during a speech in Lethbridge.Despite a promise from Mulroney to bring in a Senate reform package by the end of 1988— a major demand of Alberta Premier Don Getty — more than a dozen Conservatives stood grimly with their arms folded throughout the prime minister s speech.The hotel banquet hall where Mulroney appeared was half-empty, and the crowd offered only occasional applause as he listed his government's accomplishments for the West in the last two years.“We haven’t heard anything to get enthused about yet,” said one of the Conservatives, John Van Ryn, when asked why he and others were not applauding.The prime minister tried to warm up the audience at the start of his address by joking about the recent furore over redecorations at 24 Sussex Drive and his collection of expensive Gucci loafers.“First of all I want to apologize for the delay,” he said.“I was shining my shoes, and that could be a full-time job.” Mulroney said his youngest son Nicolas got lost in the shoe closets for three hours.The family concluded Nicolas had no taste because they found him in the Wallabee section.Mulroney was criticized by the opposition for the cost of the renovations — more than $300,000 — and because the Conservative party paid more than half the cost.Earlier, at a news conference beside a drill rig at the Caroline natural-gas field, Mulroney predicted that by the next election, western voters will be behind him.Brian Mulroney.Shining his shoes.than it had before the Meech Lake meeting, yes.” He did not say so at the time, but he added outside the Senate that the same powers would apply to the other provinces as well.Murray’s remarks appeared at least partly aimed at erasing the impression left in Quebec on the weekend when he told a television interviewer that another provision — which would recognize Quebec as a distinct society — would not grant Quebec any new powers.MORE ROOM Murray told the Senate that while the clause would not alter the distribution of powers between the two levels of government, it would “of course, enable Quebec to exercise more room, more power, more authority to preserve and protect its distinctiveness.” But, while Murray was selling the new provincial powers to the Senate, Jacques Parizeau, former Quebec finance minister, sharply attacked another section of the deal as being far too generous to the federal government In a column in the Montreal newspaper Le Devoir, the former Parti Québécois minister cited the clause which would allow provinces to opt out of new shared-cost programs in areas of exclusive provincial jurisdiction provided that a provincial program or initiative is compatible with national standards.Extreme right gains as whites re-elect Botha JOHANNESBURG (AP) — White voters have shifted sharply to the right, keeping President P.W.Botha in power while strengthening the hand of parties that oppose concessions to blacks.The anti-apartheid Progressive Federal party lost seats.It went from 27 elected seats in the outgoing white chamber of parliament to 19, say near-complete returns from Wednesday's election.The party was supplanted as the official parliamentary opposition by the Conservative party, a supporter of segregation.With 158 of 166 races decided, Botha's National party, which has governed for .39years, had 117 seats.Twelve seats of the 178-member, dominant white chamber of the legislature are filled by appointment and the National party is expected to receive 10 of them.The Conservative party, formed five years ago as a breakaway from the Nationalist party, had won 20 seats by midmorning.The New Republic party won one seat and one went to an independent.Extreme rightist parties recei- ved 29 per cent of the votes — nearly double their total in the last white election in 1981 and far ahead of the 18 per cent garnered by an informal alliance of antiapartheid candidates.“Clearly we will have to reexamine our role and function,” said the leader of the Progressive Federal party, Colin Eglin, who was re-elected easily.The National party received slightly more than 52 per cent of the vote, compared with 57 per cent in 1981.About 66 per cent of the slightly more than three million registered white voters cast ballots.Conservative party chairman Andries Treurnicht said his party’s showing is “quite satisfactory for a young party,” and where it has not won it has “given a goock account of itself.” More than one million of the country ’s voteless blacks joined a countrywide strike Wednesday to protest the election.Scattered unrest was reported in black townships during the polling, and police said there were two explosions early today at the Johannesburg headquarters of the Congress of South African Trade unions, causing damage but no injuries.1 2—The RECORD—Thursday, May 7, 1987 Reagan knew of Iran arms deal, appreciated work — witness WASHINGTON tT a i'VAV'.V ‘VW, 4 £ A 'rihUhu, mmm fe | Ig ills Boaters: Forms

dangers of heroin, or how many years you can get for trafficking.Alain Guay is talking about drugs in Sherbrooke, about 12-year olds owing $160 to their pusher, about drug labs in chicken coops, about teenagers going to the CHU with infections because they used dirty needles to shoot cocaine in their neck.The parents gasp and shake their head in disbelief.They throw nervous looks at their spouse.The children giggle knowingly.Guay was talking to about 80 parents and children at the Eymard Elementary school Tuesday night.He’s not afraid of putting ideas into children’s heads and he doesn’t think ignorance is the answer to drug abuse.These kids are 10, 11, 12 years old.Without any hesitation, they named off at least 10 different kinds of illegal drugs sold in the Townships.The parents were no help at all.They knew more about cocaine, whether through using it or reading about it.Guay says the 12-year olds know more about drugs than some university students he talks to.He doesn’t preach, he just tells them the facts.Did you know, he asks the children, that brown stuff you smoke is only 20 per cent hashish, and that the rest is cat excrement, banana peels, cork and shoe polish?That you’d be stoned on the chemicals in the additives alone?That it takes eight days for the affects of a spliff of hash to leave the system?Guay also warned the kids about what happens to 10-year olds when they can’t pay their drug bills.About stealing televisions for the pusher, or becoming a dealer themselves, or turning tricks on the street.Prostitution, says Guay, is an all-to-common fate for Sherbrooke kids.The fact that their children knew so much was probably the best lesson those parents learned that night.It is easy to cluck over other people’s kids winding up in Shawbridge, about ghetto kids pushing crack, about your neighbor’s house being robbed by a juvenile delinquent.Those kids are not a media invention.They’re not bad kids.They’re everybody’s kids, and they need to hear the consequences of being the coolest kid in the class.Guay’s talk made those parents see that big bad pushers forcing innocents babes into a life of a addiction is a myth.Elementary school children make their own choices about drugs.And who wouldn’t want to be the life of the party?What better way to help them make the right choice than by telling them the facts?Let’s just hope it works.GRACIE MACDONALD Black economy leaves gov’t in red NEW DELHI (AP) — Billions of dollars a year are being swallowed by India’s growing underground economy, robbing the government of sorely needed tax revenue.Some estimates put black money, as it is called, at one-third of the total economy — more than $65 billion Cdn a year in a country with a per-capita annual income of 3,500 rupees (about $375 Cdn).Attention has been focused on the problem by a controversy over the government’s use of an American detective agency to track hidden assets of Indian companies abroad.Black money is made and spent on cash sales, bribes, smuggling and real-estate deals that escape taxation.Many landlords demand sizable under-the-table payments before granting leases.It is common for stores to insist that customers pay cash with no receipt so there is no evidence for the tax man.BRIBERY COMMON A servant in a New Delhi suburb lost the government-issued ration card that allows his family to buy food at subsidized prices.He complained that he had to bribe a government clerk 250 rupees (about $30 Cdn) to get a replacement.A government campaign to root out the corruption has been stalled by the wrangle over the hiring of the American private eyes.The Fairfax Group was commissioned by the Finance Ministry to investigate Indian companies suspected of earning or hiding money overseas in violation of India’s tight foreign-exchange laws.The arrangement caused an uproar in Parliament and among Indian businessmen who contended private information about Indians could leak into the hands of foreign governments.Some economists believe the Indian government inadvertently encourages the black economy.NARROW TAX BASE One problem, they say, is that Indians are not used to paying income tax.The entire agriculture sector, in which two-thirds of Indians work, is exempt from income tax to encourage food production.Ixiw-income people in other economic sectors are exempt, too.According to government statistics, only 4.4 million of India’s 780 million people file tax returns in any given year.Yet estimates of the size of India’s middle class range from 40 million to 100 million people.Because of the dearth of income-tax revenue, the government depends for most of its money on numerous duties, excise levies and sales taxes.The National Institute of Public Finance and Policy — which estimates the black economy amounts to between 20 and 30 per cent of gross domestic product — says the maze of rules encourages cheating.“Pervasive and detailed regulation of economic activity through industrial licensing, import licensing, controls on prices and distribution of goods and services, credit controls and various other means has been another major source of black incomes reaped in diffe rent forms of illegal ‘scarcity premiums' and bribes,” it said.Hanged for being disguised in forest?Letters HALIFAX (CP) — The hangman’s motions were swift and precise, former newspaper correspondent Maurice Flemming remembers.The short, stout Englishman bound the doomed man’s hands and feet, lowered a hood over his head, adjusted the noose, and released the trap.Within 10 minutes, Everett Farmer was pronounced dead.It was the last time a murderer was hanged in Nova Scotia.Fifty years have passed since that pre dawn December day in Shelburne —- 50 years during which time the death penalty was abolished and numerous arguments put forth for reinstatement.As the Commons currently prepares for a free vote on capital punishment, Flemming recalled his assignment that day in 1937.“We all had to be there before midnight, so we were there five hours waiting for this execution,” he said recently.“And I’m telling you, the feeling that you have while you’re waiting that length of time for a man to be executed, just imagine what the man himself — who sees the minutes ticking away — is feeling.I can’t imagine it.” Farmer was executed for shooting his half-brother to death during a drunken argument.“It’s funny, even after all these years, there are times when I still think of it,” said Flemming.“I think it’s something you never get out of your mind.” WAS PART OF SYSTEM If the death penalty is brought back — whether by electrocution, firing squad, lethal injection, the noose or some method deemed more palatable for modern society — it would be a return to a mode of punishment that once formed an integral part of the province’s judicial system Capital punishment has been banned in Canada since 1976.The course of justice in Nova Scotia was swift in the early days: in 1749, Peter Cartcel, one of Halifax’s first settlers, stabbed a man to death and was arrested, tried, convicted and hanged within a week.Until the mid-19th century, the criminal offences punishable by hanging number in the hundreds, including theft, defacing a boundary marker, and being found disguised in a forest.In 1785, a dozen swung from the gallows in Halifax alone, one for stealing potatoes.The public’s insatiable thirst for retribution by the mid-1800s was reflected in the lengthy, often lurid newspaper accounts of trials and hangings and the large numbers of people who attended executions.The day before Joseph Nick Thi-beau was hanged for the brutal murder of a pregnant woman, 800 people converged on the village of Annapolis Royal for the show.CROWD RIOTS Hangings were no longer public spectacles by this time, 1881, but the sheriff bowed to morbid curiosity and allowed some to view the gallows en- closed by a six-metre fence.It was not enough to satisfy the crowd.Just before 8 a.m., the time for the execution, a riot broke out.“Some 20 or 30 half-drunken roughs made a determined raid on the fence,” the Halifax Herald reported.Using a plank as a battering ram, they knocked down part of the fence and the mob surged into the jail yard.Constables who tried to intervene were hurled aside and one had his head cut open by a blow from a club.Within minutes, the throng fell silent, satisfied by the sight of Thi-beau’s corpse swinging in the crisp, February air.Hangings were considered a form of entertainment, suitable even for children.P.H.Lenoir of Halifax was a child of 10 when her father took her to see the July 1844 execution of four men who murdered the captain of the ship Sa-ladin.“The condemned men mounted the scaffold, four coffins lay below,” she recalled some 90 years later.“White hoods were pulled over their faces.The next moment, four bodies shot into the air and continued to dangle there.“Never have I forgotten the sight.” By the 20th century, the need for the hangman’s grisly services had subsided.Between 1920 and 1949,17 murderers in Nova Scotia were sentenced to death, but of that number seven had their sentences commuted to life in prison.Home Ec reunion in Windsor Dear Mr.Bury: The Department of Home Economics at the University of Windsor, in Windsor, Ontario, will be celebrating the 25th

MIS wMÊê- lliil i®« •Si»! liiAi SMIISPi «m Defining pornography — a contentious issue OTTAWA (CP) — One of the most contentious issues in obscenity law — the problem of how to define moral standards acceptable to most Canadians — will be dumped squarely into the laps of MPs as they debate the pornography bill tabled Monday by Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn.For nearly three decades, since the Conservative government of John Diefenbaker enacted the current Criminal Code provisions on obscenity in 1959, the courts have been largely on their own in charting community standards.Now the government is “inviting Parliament to declare community standards for Canada,” said Rick Mosley, a Justice Department official who specializes in drafting criminal law.Hnatyshyn told a news conference one of his goals is to come up with a definition of pornography "far more precise and less subjective” than the present law so police, prosecutors, judges and juries can be more confident in deciding what is acceptable and what is not.More precise standards will mean a better “prospect for consistency in application of the law across the country,” he said.The Criminal Code currently defines obscene material, whether written or pictorial, as anything whose do- CP News Analysis By Jim Brown minant characteristic is the undue exploitation of sex.In deciding what constitutes undue exploitation, the courts have tried to develop guides on a case-by-case basis to define community moral standards.The results have not always been notable for their logic and consistency.BONDAGE OBSCENE For example, a Toronto jury concluded nearly two years ago that photographs of women in bondage, taken by a noted Japanese photographer and published in the December 1984 issue of Penthouse magazine, were obscene.The company that distributed the magazine was fined $15.000.But a similar prosecution in Montreal ended in a hung jury, while in Manitoba a judge who heard the case without jury concluded the photographs were not obscene.An advisory committee, set up by the FenoUical Distnouiors ot Canada to screen publications in an effort to avoid such prosecutions, had cleared the pictures after concluding they did not violate community standards.Hnatyshyn s bill attempts to clarify the law by listing specific acts that are deemed unacceptable — among them visual depictions of sex with children, sexual violence likely to cause permanent bodily harm, rape or other kinds of violence, bondage, necrophilia, incest, masturbation and ejaculation.The bill would allow a claim of artistic merit as a defence in most cases, but not for most portrayals of child sexuality or serious sexual violence toward anyone, adult or child “I believe, and I know all Canadians agree with me, that there can be no justification for the depiction of extreme sexual violence or the exploitation of Canada’s youth.” Hnatyshyn told reporters.But while Liberal and New Democrat spokesmen were quick to applaud the minister’s tough stand on child pornography and violence, they complained he had also included vaginal, oral or anal intercourse between consenting adults in his definition of pornography.ROBINSON CAUSTIC NDP justice critic Svend Robinson was particularly caustic after Hna- tyshyn argued that the government wants to outlaw hard-core, exploitative material but not artistic portrayals of what the minister calls “caring relationships.” Noting the prohibition on depictions of adult intercourse, Robinson asked: “For a Tory, do caring relationships mean non-sexual relationships?” Bob Kaplan, the Liberal justice critic, said police, judges, juries and courts of appeal are bound to disagree on interpretations of this law as they doon others.“That’s why we have the Supreme Court of Canada.” He conceded that Hnatyshyn’s list of specific offences may indeed establish “a fairly uniform standard” across the country but questioned whether the list can keep up with changing public attitudes.The government is already out of touch with contemporary community standards if it thinks depicting adult intercourse is as unacceptable as sexual violence or child pornography, said Kaplan.Hnatyshyn suggested that interested groups should take their views to a parliamentary committee that will study the bill.He has set no timetable for passing the legislation and has not closed the door on possible amendments.“I want the best bill possible," he said.{ Around the World The KKCORÜ—Thursday.May 7.1987—5 —_____fog-l Hecorn In Pakistan, marriage to a stranger has that fairytale feeling By Norma Siddiqui It is almost like a fairy tale.More than a week of beautiful ceremonies interwoven with threads of both romance and materialism make up a Pakistani wedding in the orthodox Muslim style Though some of the rituals may vary from region to region, the essence of the ceremonies are the same.There is always lots of teasing, singing, and dancing, accompanied by elaborate costumes richly ornamented with gold and silver in the form of threads, sequins, sparkles, lace and jewelry are part of the wedding pagentry.It is said that the gaiety at weddings provide Pakistani women with their only opportunity to ‘let their hair down’ in the harsh realities of everyday life.Months prior to the marriage the families of the bride and groom are a beehive of activity in preparation for the coming events.Many new and elaborate outfits must be provided as gifts to the bride, the groom, and other relatives and attendants, so the selection of fabrics and delicate needlework must be done for months in advance.Many other gifts must also be acquired.In fact, since birth the girl’s family begins to collect items for her dowry.In the month prior to the marriage hundreds of chickens and other animals must be collected for the wedding feasts.Just prior to the ceremonies the houses of both the bride and the groom must be strung with hundreds of strands of coloured lights so that the whole house is bedecked with light.The ceremonies begin several days before the actual wedding takes place.First there are one or more ceremonies intended to beautify the bride, wish her luck, and prepare her for her marriage.The bride is anointed with Ubtan (a scented masque good for the complexion), perfumed oil for the hair, and mehndi (henna) to colour and thus decorate the hands.At this time the bride wears yellow.GOOD NATURED TEASING This is supposed to emphasize the brides paleness prior to her marriage in contrast with her glowing beauty after.The merry making at the time includes a lot of good-natured teasing, drum music, singing and dancing.The Ubtan and hair oil tend to be messy and are often applied in separate ceremonies where everyone wears everyday clothes.After the bride's face is masqued with Ubtan the party frequently degenerates to a good-natured free for all where Ubtan is splattered over everyone Tea is served.For the Mehndi ceremony everyone wears beautiful clothes.The women come from the bridegroom’s house carrying many mini jugs (about one inch in diameter) of henna oil and candles on trays.The mother of the groom brings a beautiful set of yellow robes for the bride.They all parade in with candles lit singing to the beat of drums.GROUPS COMPETE The friends of the bride are already present and seated in a circle on carpets.They are joined by women friends of the groom who form another circle.A competition of dancing and singing takes place designed to show that one of the groups is better than the other.Good-natured insults are thrown from one group to the other in the form of song.Later when the bride has been readied in her new finery she is paraded into the gathering, head veiled.Once seated seven married women put henna on the girl’s hands, a custom similar to applying nail polish.Different friends may dance around the bride to honour her.Sometime during the evening a meal is usually served and the evening ends with more music and luddhi dancing (where women dance in a circle clapping and bending at one knee while the other foot crosses in front).A new bride continues to wear henna on her hands for the first year of marriage and it is thus indicative of a newlywed.On the next night a similar ceremony takes place at the home of the groom, only this time it is the groom who is honoured and his Henna rings on the hands are a sign af a newlywed.hand is decorated with henna.He also receives new’ clothes from the bride's family.All the merriment of the last two evenings helps to break the ice between the families of the bride and the groom WEDDING IN THE EVENING Finally the day of Nikah, the actual wedding ceremony, arrives The ceremony begins in the evening with a procession to bring the groom: the gift of the wedding gown, flowers and sweets, and the bari: more dresses and other gifts for the bride from the groom's family.Traditionally the groom used to arrive in royal style on a horse bedecked in gold.Today the groom arrives in a car decorated with flowers and brightly coloured sparkling garlands accompanied by a band, and all the relatives and friends.In the wedding party I attended there were 15 cars and two large buses travelling from Rawalpindi to Peshawar, a three hour drive.LEGAL CONTRACT The legal ceremony then takes place with the bride being represented by her designated proxy.A contract is agreed upon by the two parties where there must be a settlement of Mehr.This is a sum of money from the bridegroom to the bride, part to be paid immediately and the balance to be paid in the case of marriage breakdown.Today the contract may also include such things as a specified monthly allowance that the groom must pay the bride.The specifications of the dowry are also included in the contract.The dowry often includes items of considerable value (land, a house) and its total value usually varies from $1000 to $100,000 depending on the wealth of the family.In fact the dowry is such a heavy financial burden on the bride’s family that the birth of a girl in a family is not a joyous occasion.The marriage of a girl is often delayed or never occurs because the family is unable to provide the required dowry.MAULVI LIKE A PRIEST Since the contents of the contract have been agreed upon in advance, the Nikah is a short ceremony presided over by a maulvi or Muslim equivalent of a priest.After both sides accept the terms of the contract the groom then agrees three times in front of two witnesses to marry his chosen bride Then two witnesses from the groom's side go with the maulvi to the bride's side where she states three times her willingness to marry the man her family has chosen for her.This completes the Nikah ceremony.It is interesting to note that a divorce is obtained when the groom states this desire three times in front of two witnesses.The state then imposes certain requirements for financial support.A grand feast follows the wedding ceremony.As is the custom men eat in a separate room from the women.Thus, since the beginning of the ceremonies, the bride has not appeared before her groom.At the end of the feast the men depart except for the groom, and the women prepare the bride to meet her new husband They dress her in her new wedding dress brought by the groom's family and bedeck her in gold jewels on her forehead, her ears, her nose, her wrists and arm, and her ankles.SEQUINS IN HER HAIR Elaborate hair-do and make-up sprinkled with gold sequins and gold dust along with intricate patterns of henna traced on the hands complete the wedding attire.The dress is a gorgeous affair usually of red and gold, and the je-wellry is exquisitely hand crafted.In some ceremonies the bride now meets her husband for the first time.This is a most touching ritual.The bride is

groom may present the bride with a ring.He may dab sandalwood paste on her forehead, and they may feed each other sweets.The significance of these latter customs being that their life together may always be fragrant and sweet.Later the sister of the bride may take the groom’s shoe and not surrender it until a sum of money is paid, or carry out some other form of ransom.This money is then distributed among the bride’s attendants.Usually there are several different occasions during the ceremonies where the younger members of both the bride’s and groom’s families claim and get compensation in the form of money or other gifts.At this time all the guests also contribute money.This is called saulami, and is given to the groom to help to establish his house.Then the bride must leave her family home to go to the home of her new husband.Sad songs are sung and the girl’s relatives dissolve in tears.With this tearful parting the bride and her dowry are thus taken away to her new home.HAD MET ONCE OR TWICE In the wedding celebrations which I attended the bride and groom were not presented to each other using a mirror.In fact, in the rituals of Puntani and Pungabi families the bride is kept hidden from the groom until her wedding night.Many of these marriages are however between relatives and the couple has met in the past at family gatherings.The bride is bundled into the wedding car bedecked in golden and silver deput-ta, a large kerchief, covering her head and most of her face, on top of which are put strands of flowers hanging from a coronet and fur- ther hiding her face.Over all is put a chadre, a large shawl, used by many Pakistani women when leaving the house.This chadre covers the womens body like a cape, but also covers her head and the lower portion of her face so that normally only the eyes peer out.In this case the eyes are already hidden by deputta and flowers so the bride is totally hidden.She travels with one friend, usually a sister, and the groom and one member of his family.On arriving at the groom's home a party for the friends of the groom is held.A meal is followed by more dancing and singing to the beat of the village drummer.During these festivities the bride is lead away to the bridal room where a bed covered with velvet spread and matching silver tastled bolsters with silver garlands strung overhead awaits.When all the guests have left or are asleep the groom is free at last to meet his new bride.The next day the new husband and wife host a lunch at the groom’s house, called Walima.Hundreds of guests are invited depending on the means of the groom’s family.The groom’s guests also give salaumi to the bride which helps to defray wedding expenses.The Walima completes the series of week long wedding celebrations.The whole muslim Pakistani wedding has an element of impromptu theatre where each party has learned their role from childhood in attendance at the weddings of various family members.The main participants have a

Forest building projects worth more than $41 million .l/V*- Hock Foi By Derek Conlon ROCK FOREST — A $40 million housing development was one of two construction projects unveiled in the town of Rock Forest Tuesday.Plans were also announced at a sod-turning ceremony Tuesday for a $1.5 million expansion of Plaza Rock Forest shopping centre.The housing development is a project of Le Groupe Immobex, an investment organization whose members are area businessmen.Construction on the 90-acre Châteaux d’Eaux site began around Easter and is expected to continue for the next four to five years.The project took its name from the two water towers nearby.Immobex president Luc Chrétien said 469 homes will be built on the site that is bordered by Kennedy Street to the east and Bourque Boulevard to the north.Immobex is building the roads in the new development but construction of the houses will be left up to contractors from the region, Chrétien said.“We’re not building houses at all,” he said.“It’s not the intention of Immobex to compete with contractors in the region,” Chrétien said.Most of the houses to be built on Mallette Benoil Boulanger Rondeau& Associés Ward, Mallette &

single-family dwellings or semi-detached houses and triplexes and quadraplexes will be built on the two main roads through the development.All buildings will have to “conform to pre-established norms”, Chrétien said, so a “uniform character” can be maintained.The first road and 32 houses should be finished by the end of the summer, he said.An “un official study” was made by Immobex to find out if the homes would be bought, Chrétien said.The minimum price for a house in the new development is expected to be $75,000, he said.That’s because the price for the average lot is about $15,000 and the cost of the house averages around $60,000, Chrétien said.All streets in the Châteaux d'Eaux development will begin with the letter “H” to conform to a Rock Forest development plan re quiring all streets in a certain sector to begin with a certain letter of the alphabet.This is to make travelling easier.If someone is looking for a street begining with the letter “A” and he is in the “B” sector, he knows he is close to where he wants to go.The other Rock Forest development will change the name of the Plaza Rock Forest to Les Tarasses Rock Forest when the expansion of the mall is completed Oct.28.The $1.5 million project is expected to create 150-200 jobs on site and will consist of building about 25 new boutiques, said Zave Aber-man, owner of the mall.Forty thousand square feet will be taken from the Woolco store and used for the new boutiques.The plaza suffers from competition with the other shopping centres in the region and many vacancies.I Zave Aherman, owner of

(CP) — Riding on the strength of a market love affair with trucks, auto sales in Canada improved three per cent in April from a year earlier.Confounding predictions by analysts for a downturn in sales this year, Canadians bought 165,758 cars and trucks last month from domestic producers and importers, up from 159,397 in the same 1986 period.The four domestic producers reported a two-per-cent increase in sales to 127,619 vehicles while the 14 importers showed an eight-percent jump to 38,139.However, analysts still expect that the current heavy diet of incentives — particularly by the domestic producers — is taking away from future sales.It will eventually catch up by the end of the year BUY NOW AND OBTAIN THIS v\.SPECIAL* OFFER With purchase of any Zen.lh Color TV VC» or Video

trucks.Powered by its popular Magicwagon, the top seller in its class, that represents a whopping 38.5-per-cent increase from April 1986 and the highest monthly figure in the company’s 62-year history.Joining Chrysler among record breakers, No.2 Ford Motor Co.of Canada Ltd.recorded its best April in the company’s 83-year history as sales improved five per cent to 38,414.Trucks were responsible for a good chunk of the gain, jumping 12.5 per cent to 13,582.Meanwhile, No.1 General Motors of Canada Ltd.continued its slump in car sales although buoyant truck deliveries reduced the overall loss to six per cent.Car sales fell 10.1 per cent to 42,614 for the month while trucks improved 5.6 per cent to 16,321, a record for April.American Motors (Canada) Ltd., which is being sold to Chrysler, reported a nine-per-cent increase in sales to 2,797 in April, mainly due to the strength of its popular Jeep.LEADS IMPORTERS Among the importers, booming Honda of Japan retained top spot as sales soared 68 per cent to 8,222 last month.Toyota, the No.2 importer and alsoof Japan, increased its overall sales by 26 per cent to 7,917 sales although truck sales slipped.Hyundai of Korea, which made a big splash in the market a few years ago, continued its tailspin.Its sales slipped 15 per cent to 6,051 for April, compared with the same 1986 period.German-based Volkswagen also showed no signs of pulling out of its recent slump.Its April sales plunged 40 per cent to 2,641.In the United States, domestic automakers reported a 3.9-percent decline in car deliveries to 691,803 for April while truck sales increased 7.4 per cent to 339,081.Import car sales in the United States were off four per cent from April 1986, to 241,517, and some analysts said the strengthening yen is now

insurance firms are better — Sunlife TORONTO (CP) — Consumers would probably benefit if there were fewer and larger life insurance companies in Canada, says the chairman of the country’s largest life insurance company.The federal government’s policy paper on the financial services industry seems to have “a general assumption underlying it that Canada's larger financial institutions are large enough and should not be permitted to grow by merger or acquisition,” Thomas Galt told the annual meeting of the Sun Life Assurance Co.of Canada on Tuesday.The government paper, which sets out Ottawa’s plans for reducing the barriers separating banks, trust companies, investment dealers and insurance companies, would allow Sun Life and its competitors to expand into new services in Canada only by creating new subsidiaries.Galt told policy holders that larger companies are desirable because of “the very rapid pace of change in today’s financial services market and the very substantial expenditures on computer systems that are necessary to keep products and services up to date.” Galt said the company has no objection to the proposed requirement that mergers or acquisitions be subject to regulatory approval to ensure that competition does not decline.“However, in any industry such as the Canadian life and health insurance industry, where there are well over 100 companies competing vigorously with each other, and to some extent with other financial services companies as well, there is no threat to competition if mergers or acquisitions were to be permitted,” he said.Sun Life reported 1986 net profit of $184 million, up from $144 million a year earlier.Revenue rose to $5.6 billion from $4.8 billion.While not providing figures, president John Gardner told the meeting that in the first quarter of 1987 the company’s major businesses — life insurance, health insurance, and annuities and pensions — “all recorded significant increases in production” compared with the first quarter of 1986.“Crazy” farmer set for cash-losing year DRUMHELLER.Alta. — Jack Howard is one of thousands of Prairie farmers who will plant a crop this year, although the odds are he will reap a bitter harvest because grain prices are the lowest they have been since the 19:50s.Despite the bleak prospects they face, farmers are working the land, their machinery kicking up the clouds of dust.Howard, 41.has a earthy assessment of his decision to plant another crop.“I'm crazy as hell," he said as he prepared for another money-losing year.“1 don’t want to seed, I just don’t feel like it," said the Drumheller-area farmer after a long, hot day of delivering wheat — the price of which has dropped 50 per cent in the last five years — to a nearby elevator Despite that sentiment.Howard will be on his tractor from dawn to dusk preparing 1,100 hectares for spring planting.“I can’t let the land sit idle,” he said.“I’m farming some third-generation land and.cliche as it might sound, farmers have a notorious bond with their land.It's part of you.” STAYS AFLOAT Acme-area farmer A1 Mushka, who described his prospects this year as depressing, said gover- nment assistance kept last year from being a loser for him."The best we can do is hope for a break-even and carry on until something does change," he said.Mushka will plant canola, barley and wheat over the next two weeks.“We've got a rotation of crops,” said Mushka.who with his wife Margo took over the farm in 1964."We’ve got a program and w'e've got to follow it and hope for the best.It's as simple as that." Despite the financial bath he expects this year, Mushka figures he can hang on for a while because of a relatively low debt load.Others are not so fortunate.Some observers estimate about 25 per cent of Alberta farmers will be unable to carry their debt loads.Last week's announcement by Charlie Mayer, minister in charge of the Wheat Board, that grain prices will drop 18 per cent on average in the 1987-1988 crop year made a grim situation grimmer.MEMORIES PAINFUL For Howard's father, Jack Sr., this year brings back memories of the 1930s depression, when grain fetched less than it cost to produce and thousands left the land.“It’s the same thing all over again." said the 78-year-old farmer.who moved to Alberta from Ontario with his parents in 1919.He said the federal government owes it to farmers to repeat its $1-billion special grains program, but should confine its outlay to the West.The federal government announced the special assistance program last fall after grain prices fell sharply last summer, and said the $1 billion would be paid in two installments As of early April, $279 million had been paid out to farmers, with about $22.6 million going to farmers in Ontario.Claiming Ottawa shafted the western grain farmer in the years after the Second World War by keeping prices artificially low, he said: “If now, in time of need, he gets a little of his own back it's long overdue." The Howards expect it will cost $130 to $145 an acre to produce a crop which will be worth $100 an acre, based on a yield of 40 bushels an acre.Even if light did appear at the end of the tunnel, the younger Howard doubts he would encourage his two children to stay on the farm.“There has to be a better way of earning a living than watching the clouds, worrying about rain, agonizing over hail, fighting grasshoppers and getting the greasy end of the stick." he said.LAWN-BOY Early Dirt Corn growers want government to fight U.S.legal-expense fund OTTAWA (CP) — Ontario producers want the federal government to head off a U.S.proposal to pay legal expenses to American producers fighting Canada’s countervailing duty on U.S.grain corn, says Terry Daynard of the Ontario Corn Producers’ Association.Daynard said a proposed U.S.trade bill amendment, which provides up to $500,000 for farm groups fighting foreign countervailing duties on agricultural products, is aimed at the Canadian duty of 85 cents a bushel placed on U.S.grain corn in March.Daynard said the association has asked the federal government to consider the proposed defence fund as another subsidy that should be tacked onto the existing duty levied against U.S.corn imports.And he said if the government can’t convince the U.S.administration to veto the proposal then Canadian producers would have no choice but to ask the federal government to set up a similar fund.“Clearly, the U.S.legislation is focused on corn because it’s the only countervailing duty on an American product,” Daynard said.“Now that the tables have been turned, the Americans are attempting to change the rules.” In March, the Canadian Import Tribunal ruled that imports of subsidized American corn used in livestock feed and a variety of indus- trial products are injuring Canadian corn growers.This was the first time any country had put a countervailing duty on an American product to offset the effect of subsidies, although the Americans have i mposed about 250 such duties in recent years.PAID THEIR WAY Daynard said producers, including Canadian farmers, who oppose U.S.countervailing claims have always paid for the costs of their defence.The proposed fund would make it almost impossible for Canadian producers to stop products from being dumped in Canada.He said with that kind of money U.S.producers could afford to try every legal challenge to stall off imposing duties until Canadian producers simply couldn't afford to fight anymore.He added: “It’s not fair to have an issue decided based on who has the most money to spend.” Daynard said his association budgeted $100,000 to defend its claim and legal costs have already far exceeded that.Producers still face a series of public hearings, three appeals in the federal court and a General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade challenge of the Canadian Import Tribunal’sdecision.The U.S.amendment is part of a wide-sweeping trade bill recently approved by the U.S.House of Representatives which makes it ea- sier for American companies and producers to seek protection against foreign suppliers.It must be approved by the U.S.Senate and the president before becoming law.Canada’s countervailing duty has effectively stopped U.S.corn from coming across the border by pricing it off the market — it increased from $1.90 a bushel to more than $3.00 a bushel.At the same time, it has boosted the price paid to Canadian corn farmers by 50 cents a bushel, saving the industry about $75 million in losses.Producers need about $3.50 a bushel to cover production costs.The Royal Bank of Canada at the Galeries Quatre Saisons 910,13th Ave.North Sherbrooke, Quebec J1E 3G8 New business hours Monday Tuesday Wednesday From 10:00 a m.to 3:00 p.m.Thursday From 10:00 a m.to 8:00 p.m.Friday From 10.00 a m.to 5:00 p.m.Serving You Better!

accusations Don’t take over 50 shoppers for granted Down-town Sutton WINNIPEG (CP) — Parents fighting custody battles for their children are using false allegations of child abuse as a weapon, says the clinical director of Winnipeg’s Child Protection Centre.“Custody battles are responsible for for almost 100 per cent of the overkill in the child-abuse area,’’ Dr.Charles Ferguson told the Manitoba Association of Rights and Liberties on Thursday.A Winnipeg judge acquitted a 36-year-old man this week on charges of sexually abusing his young daughter.The judge noted that the allegation came at the same time the mother was seeking sole custody of the girl.While accepting that some parents will do anything to get custody of their children, Ferguson said the welfare of children must come first.AGAINST KIDS’ “The scales of justice are still markedly balanced against children," he said.The Perfect Gift AT REASONABLE PRICES Winnipeg lawyer Heather Leo-noff told the meeting that some parents are capitalizing on heightened concern about child abuse.Leonoff said that in the past three weeks she has been contacted by three fathers who have lost access to their children solely because of sworn affidavits by their estranged wives.“When there is an allegation of sexual abuse, the normal reaction of judges is to cut off access immediately based on nothing more than the mother’s bold accusation.’’ DAMAGE DONE Although many accusations are flimsy, both Leonoff and Ferguson are concerned about the damage that can be caused before the truth comes out.Once an accusation is made, child-care workers and other professionals are called in to investigate.Ferguson said workers at his centre are skilled at spotting spurious accusations.“The stories are usually so bizarre,” he said.But not all workers in the field have enough skill and experience to spot a bogus allegation.“You can go through the system and meet very skilled people all the way along the line — or you can

over 50 have lots of money to spend on goods and services, but retailers don’t seem to realize it, says Toronto marketing consultant Ralph Hicks.A study conducted recently by Hicks’s firm, Venture Brands, found that business has largely ignored that age group, even though consumers over 50 — roughly 25 per cent of all Canadians — control up to half of the discretionary spending power in Canada.The study, which included a survey of 2,000 Canadians 50 years of age and over, found that the age group — which Hicks calls the “really grown-ups” — had an average per capita income of $13,100, compared with $12,500 for the total population.The survey also found that the income, combined with a low debt load (79 per cent of homeowners had paid off their mortgages), gives the over-50s a much higher discretionary income than the 18 to 48 age group at which most firms aim their advertising and products.So why is business ignoring what Hicks calls this “attractive target group?” PLAN PRODUCTS “Older people probably didn’t NEW IN RICHMOND THE WEEK OF MAY 4, 1987 2 BUSINESSES IN 1 L'ATELIER DE CÉRAMIQUE -' NI-J0 ENR.& RITA JEANNINE CHAINEY, from JACQUES FLEURISTE

to 15 years to do a lot of clever research in terms of segmenting the market by lifestyle groups instead of demographic categories (such as age).” Business executives have failed to recognize the importance of the growing population of older people, he said, and the advertising industry “is still at the stage with older people that they used to be with blacks and women.” Hicks said another problem is that the advertising business is heavily populated with young people, who tend to view aging in a stereotypical manner and are more likely to say it’s "easier to market to people you know.” Hicks says retailers hold some misconceptions about the over-50 age group.“We can completely dispel the myth, for example, that older people stick with the same brand product.They like two or three pro-ducts, they swing between brands.” LIKE TREATS’ This is the group that went through the Depression, the Second World War and other crises and didn’t have the things that people take for granted today, he said.“Older people like treats.They like to travel.They want to live healthy lives.And from the results of the survey, they are prepared to pay a little more in order to get certain conveniences.And that’s quite different from the mother at home with 2.1 kids.” He said that businesses must learn to understand the needs of this growing age group if they want expand their markets.“If you are advertising to older people, how do you present them?The usual stereotypes of old and decrepit are no longer relevent “We have to portray them so that they have a good reason to be proud, that they have vital minds and have a lot to contribute to the community.“(They) are looking for fun and stimulation.We think they sit on their porch and do their knitting, which is simply not true.” BUY NOW AND OBTAIN THIS SPECIAL* OFFER t»ia.iMT Visit our furniture kit boutique MEUBLES HPIERRE s " VISA A 5215.boul Bourque.Rock Forest, • (819)864-425 FWCE DEUVIRY

problem is a secret that I have been withholding.•John” knows he was not my “first.” I told him so at the very beginning.He was upset and let me know he was deeply disappointed, but he thanked me for being honest.The problem is, I wasn’t completely truthful.I told John there was only one other before him when in fact there were three.I meant to tell him the whole truth eventually, but as time went on 1 felt it might create a lot of trouble and I didn’t Ann Landers think it was worth the risk.Now with the wedding not far away, it is starting to bother me like crazy.I am scared to death that he will find out somehoe and hate me.I can’t sleep at night because of this fear.Do you think it is really important?Should I tell him?If so, how?Or should I leave the past in the past?I hope you will print this letter for my sake and for the sake of others who share this dilemma — Nervous in North America Dear Nervous: You've told him the important part and that should be sufficient.When a couple mar ries they should accept one another as they are.Men who insist on knowing the names and numbers of all the previous players invariably use the information as a club later.I hope you will get some counseling.You need to unload the guilt and quell the fear that is keeping you up nights.Dear Ann Landers : I attended a party a few weeks ago and one of the guests, a man of about 30, had an epileptic seizure.Everyone panicked.Nobody knew what to do Someone made the mistake of trying to hold him down and dislocated his shoulder.I am concerned about the general ignorance of people when it comes to seizures because my 4-year-old son has epilepsy.Please tell your readers to remain calm.Most seizures last only a few minutes.Move away any furniture or object that might cause injury.If possible turn the person on his or her side.Do NOT put anything in the person's mouth There is no validity to the often reported tale that this will prevent the victim from swallowing his tongue.Some folks believe epilepsy is related to retardation.It isn't My son's seizures are under control with medication He leads the life of a normal 4-year-old and is an active and healthy child.Thanks for the great job you do of educating the public P.M.In Omaha Dear Omaha: Readers like you help me a lot Millions of people learned something of value today because you wrote.You can be sure that the families of epileptics everywhere are especially grateful Dear Ann Landers: I am a Catholic who receives communion regularly.Some priests actually touch my tongue when I receive the Host.I am sure they touch other people's tongues as well.With so much being written about AIDS I am beginning to worry Are my fears unfounded or is there cause for alarm” Please print something in your column about this.People need the facts.— Chicago Dear Chic: According to Father James Roache.vicar general of the Archdiocese of Chicago, communicants have the option of accepting the Host in the hand.I have never read anything in the medical literature that suggests it is possible to get AIDS from receiving the Host at Communion.Your fears are groundless.Social notes Bradley Michael Irvin Andrews Bradley Michael

East and West cards with your thumbs first.The opening lead is the king of hearts.Yes, it’s right to ruff.What next?Would it be so unusual to come to your hand with the queen of diamonds and ruff another heart?You would then play the ace of spades, and now seems like a reasonable time to play A-K-Q of clubs.That way you can throw your last heart on the club queen.Somebody may ruff in, but you should not lose more than three spade tricks.But something untoward happens along the way.As you attempt to cash the second club, West ruffs.He then cashes a high heart.If he is kind enough to play another heart, you can ruff and bring down the defenders’ trumps together.But what if West plays a diamond now?You will be in dummy without any easy way to get to your hand.You can still make 10 tricks by playing thè high club and discarding a diamond.East can take only the spade king.Zia Mahmood of Pakistan found an easier approach.After ruffing the first heart, he immediately played A-K of clubs.Of course the second club Was ruffed and West continued hearts Declarer trumped in dummy, cashed the spade ace and played the last high club, getting rid of his final heart.When West had to ruff with the spade king, Zia made his game with an overtrick.A new book by James Jacoby and his father, the late Oswald Jacoby, is now available at bookstores.It is "Jacoby on Card Games.” published by

E.T.writers REFLECTIONS I wonder where the years have gone, It seems like yesterday That I would sing a song of love And dream the hours away.But now my children are all grown.With children of their own, And some of them have babies.That’s how life’s seed is sown.But in between a life is lived, With lots of love and pain.The greatest joy is to watch them grow.And know it’s not in vain I’d like to live it all once fnore.If I could be reborn.With knowledge of my life before.I’d live without the pain.And make it naught but happiness, To walk along life’s lane.Composed and written in 1987 By
