of 200 students left South Korea’s main Roman Catholic centre today, ending a five-day antigovernment protest that had become a rallying point for thousands of other demonstrators.As the students left aboard five buses, about 500 other people surged onto the compound of Myong-dong Cathedral, waving clenched fists in the air, singing protest songs and shouting slogans.Police units moved back and forth on the streets in front of the church complex, forcing crowds to move.Several Catholic priests accom- panied the students in the buses, which were to deliver the students to their schools under an agreement worked out between the church and the government.Before leaving, the students released a statement they said marked the end of the protest that began on Wednesday night.The students demanded the government release people seized in recent street demonstrations and refrain from “political suppression” following their protest.Although the statement said the Myongdong protest was ending, about 10 students remained behind, saying they would conduct a hunger strike until their demands had been met.A few hours earlier at the cathedral site, a vast lunchtime throng estimated at more than 10,000 people surged into the street in front of the cathedral and chanted slogans in support of the students.Police moved into the area, firing tear gas to drive back the crowd Last week's demonstrations, the most violent since President Chun Doo-hwan came to power in 1980, broke out on Wednesday in Seoul and a score of provincial cities.Government opponents had called for rallies that day to demand a re- sumption of debate on constitutional reforms and to denounce the alleged cover-up of the death on Jan.14 by police torture of a student.The rallies were also intended to embarrass Chun’s Democratic Justice party, which was holding its presidential convention to nominate a Chun ally, Roh Tae-woo, to succeed him.The Myongdong Cathedral compound became the centre of protests last week, and police surrounded it until Sunday, when they suddenly withdrew.The student protesters were told they were free to leave.Report: Detention of young South Africans unabated Blacks as young as 12 imprisoned, tortured WASHINGTON (Reuter) — Police repression and abuse of young people continue unabated in South Africa, with blacks as young as 12 years old being beaten and tortured, says a report released today.“The incidents of torture, arbitrary killing and unlawful imprisonment of children continue unabated.” said the report by the U.S.branch of Defence for Children International.a Geneva-based human rights group.JOHANNESBURG (Reuter-CP) — The Ford Motor Co.of Canada was reported Sunday to be negotiating to give up its South Africa operation.The chairman of South African Motor Corp.or SAMCOR, in which Ford of Canada has a 42-per-cent stake, said Ford is negotiating with employees the transfer of a major SAMCOR share to a trust for the benefit of its predominantly black work force.SAMCOR chairman Leslie Boyd said that Ford has agreed, whatever the outcome of the discussions, to continue supplying SAMCOR with cars and allow the Detained young people have said they were beaten with rifle butts, suffocated with wet nylon bags and suspended from ceilings by chains around the wrist.The report says more than 10,000 young people have been held without trial since last

Québécois delegates, divided for years in a debate over sovereignty, rallied behind party leader Pierre Mare Johnson’s softened stand on independence to emerge united from their policy convention on the weekend.The endorsement of a gradual increase of Quebec’s powers within Confederation rather than pushing for outright independence means the party can focus on other issues to better fight the governing Liberals, Johnson said Sunday.“The Parti Québécois comes out of this convention united,” John son told about 1,000 delegates who gave him a rousing standing ovation.He reiterated to reporters later that his party will not fight the next election on independence despite a proposal passed at the convention making sovereignty the party’s "fundamental goal.” Johnson said sovereignty would emerge as a debate again only when Quebecers were ready for independence.“There are three-and-a-half million voters who have a say in it,” said Johnson, referring to polls that indicate most Quebecers do not favor outright independence.WINS SUPPORT Johnson — who had threatened to resign if delegates didn’t back his position — won 80 per cent of the vote for his national affirmation.He proclaimed his support for independence but said national affirmation was the only way to achieve eventual sovereignty.However, nearly 200 candidates Pierre Marc Johnson.PQ is united.walked out of the hall in protest after the vote Saturday and 240 — including PQ backbenchers Denis Perron and Hubert Desbiens — signed petitions opposing national affirmation and vowing to promote sovereignty.But Guy Bertrand, an indepen- See DISSIDENTS, page 2 Handle free trade with care — Joyal MONTREAL (CP) — The Progressive Conservative government should pursue a more diver-sified approach to free trade rather than “putting all their eggs in one basket” with the United States, a key official in the Quebec wing of the federal Liberal party said on the weekend.Canada should look to Europe and Asia for more trade partners — without ignoring the United States — said Serge Joyal, policy-commission president for the Quebec wing.Joyal spoke with reporters after a Liberal party seminar to discuss free trade that was attended by about 175 Liberal members.A former cabinet minister, Joyal said the free-trade issue could prove to be more significant than the debate over the Meech Lake constitutional accord and should be thoroughly studied before any decisions are made.He noted that about 80 per cent of Canada’s trade is with the United States and said Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the governing Tories should be careful handling the remaining 20 per cent.Baby’s arrival tells mom she was pregnant TORONTO (CP) — Former deliveryman Blaine Scott made the toughest delivery of his life during the weekend — a baby his wife didn’t know she was carrying.Joyce Couch-Scott, 34, said she was unaware she was pregnant until the baby — a six-pound, six-ounce son — arrived.“I wasn’t feeling well Saturday afternoon, so I asked Blaine to draw a warm bath,” she said in an interview Sunday at St.Joseph’s Medical Centre.“When I came out of the bath I was in severe pain.I went to the bedroom and the head was already coming out.” There was no time to get to a hospital, so the Scotts improvised.“I just pulled him out and laid him on a towel on the bed,” Scott said “It just took a bit of a tug and out he popped,” added the traffic j supervisor and former delivery I man for Cambrian Parsons.Couch-Scott grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the umbilical cord while her husband, 36.called an ambulance, which arrived two minutes later.The baby, Colin Edward, was six weeks premature.He lost a lot of blood on the way to hospital and was in stable condition Sunday.“We were worried because his kidneys weren’t working until this morning, and although he’s in an incubator, the doctor’s said he’ll be all right,” Scott said Couch-Scott said she didn't know she was pregnant because she had normal menstrual cycles until last month.“The first sign was Thursday night when my water broke,” she said. 2—The RECORD—Monday, June 15, 1987 Premiers: Work will get done even if four governors miss meeting By Tom McDougall HALIFAX (CP) — The annual meeting of the New England governors and Eastern Canada premiers gets under way today with four of the six governors absent.First, Gov.Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts bowed out because of commitments in his campaign to become Democratic candidate for president of the United States.Then Gov.Edward DiPrete of Rhode Island cancelled because he had to stay home to sign legislation, and Gov.John McKernan of Maine withdrew to attend an emergency debate in his legislature.Gov.John Sununu of New Hampshire and his delegation boarded a small airplane but ran into a heavy rainstorm over Nova Scotia.They circled over Halifax for two hours before they were forced them to di- vert to Moncton, N.B., and then back home.That left conference co-chairman Madeleine Kunin of Vermont and Bill O’Neill of Connecticut as the only governors at private meetings Sunday night in advance of the four-day conference.Delegations from Massachussetts, Rhode Island and Maine were there to handle their states' business but there was no one from New Hampshire because the entire delegation was on the plane.They were expected to try again today but the weather forecast was not good.All five eastern premiers — co-chairman John Buchanan of Nova Scotia, Robert Bourassa of Quebec, Richard Hatfield of New Brunswick, Brian Peckford of Newfoundland and Joe Ghiz of Prince Edward Island had arrived by Sunday night.WON’T BE HURT Buchanan and O’Neill both said the meeting will accomplish its aims even without all the governors there.O’Neill disagreed with a suggestion that the cancellations might indicate the conference isn’t as important as it used to be.“I don't think that’s the case at all,” he told reporters.“Each of them has his personal reasons that keeps him away.” O’Neill pointed out that this is the seventh time he’s attended the conferences and said there is still a strong bond between the states and provinces.Buchanan said the stand-in delegations are all aware of what they have to do and say on their governors’ behalf.No agreements are expected to be signed at the meeting, he said.Acid rain will be a topic on which they share common ground Both regions consider themselves victims rather than creators of acid rain, which originates mainly in the industrial American Midwest and Central Canada and drifts eastward on prevailing winds.Free trade, particularly for fish, will be discussed but officials said the governors and premiers consider this to be a matter mainly for their national governments to negotiate.It might be less of an issue this year than last if the weather continues to keep Sununu and his New Hampshire delegation away.Last year, Sununu made free trade an issue by arguing that Canada's unemployment insurance program amounts to an unfair sub- sidy to Canadian companies.Buchanan intends to update the governors on the plan he announced last year to sell coal-generated power to New England.The province already has committed itself to building a new coal-fired plant in Trenton, N.S., and is seeking federal help before going ahead with another somewhere in Cape Breton.The Trenton plant would have no acid-rain protection because it will use Pictou County’s clean-burning, low-sulphur coal.Buchanan hasn’t forgotten his old dream of piping natural gas from offshore Nova Scotia to New England, but he admits it won’t be a big topic this year.He said the premiers and governors will again pass a resolution endorsing a pipeline, as they have over the last five years.The governors are anxious to have the resolution each year so their public utilities boards and Washington will know that they want a pipeline Several aides to the leaders of the 11 governments expect some discussion to lay the groundwork for New England to acquire more power from the giant hydroelectric dams in northern Quebec.New England now gets about a sixth of its power from Hydro Quebec and that amount is expected to grow in the 1990s after Hydro Quebec beefs up its transmission lines The government heads are also expected to approve a ‘good neighbor” resolution that calls for the states and provinces to notify and consult with their neighbors on projects that could affect the region’s environment.Officials say Waite not N6WS-in-bN6f involved in arms sales BEIRUT (AP) — Iran denied Sunday reports that Terry Waite and some of the Americans kidnapped in Lebanon were taken to Iran.A London newspaper said Waite’s captors say he was involved in the U S.-Iran arms-for-hostages deal.The Church of England has denied that Waite, the personal emissary of the Archbishop of Canterbury, was involved in the arms sale to Iran.In Washington, White House spokesman Dan Howard called the London Sunday Telegraph report "balderdash.” The newspaper said there is little chance Waite would be released soon because there is “widespread belief in Lebanon that he was acting as an agent of the United States” to free Americans and other foreigners held in this country.The Sunday Telegraph based its assessment of Waite’s status largely on interviews with militia officials and pro-Iranian sources in Moslem West Beirut— specifically on an inquiry by the Progressive Socialist party, whose Druse militia guarded Waite until he disappeared Jan.20.ENVOY VANISHES Waite vanished in Beirut while trying to obtain release of hostages held by the pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad, or Islamic Holy War.The Sunday Telegraph said Waite was mainly seeking freedom for Americans Terry Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent for The Associated Press, and Thomas Sutherland, acting dean of agriculture at the American University in Beirut.It said Islamic Jihad first accepted Waite’s assurances he was acting solely as a representative of the church.But later the kidnappers decided he was a U S agent.The Sunday Telegraph quoted Hassan Sabra, who edits the Beirut weekly magazine Ash Shiraa, which broke the secret arms sale story, as saying Iran ordered Waite kidnapped.Pope and Jaruzelski still divided over Poland WARSAW (AP) — Pope John Paul left his native land insisting that truth and freedom are essential for Poland and Polish leader Gen.Wojciech Jaruzelski stressed that Poland “has to meet its own challenges.” Jaruzelski, in a farewell statement to the pontiff, said: “Poland needs the truth.But also the truth about Poland is needed.“Your Holiness will soon leave the homeland.He’ll take its picture in his heart, but he can’t take its real problems .It has to meet its own challenges.” Jaruzelski spoke on Sunday after an airport meeting with the Pope, who was returning to Rome after his weeklong visit.There was no word on what the two men discussed, but the tone of their remarks indicated the Roman Catholic Church and Poland's Communist authorities remain divided over the country’s course.The two men also met when the Pope arrived in Poland.Before leaving for the airport, the Pope said in Warsaw that the Holy See should have formal ties with Poland, which is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic.John Paul called on the Polish government and bishops to create the necessary conditions.He emphasized, however, that “serious work” remained before Poland could become the first Warsaw Pact country to have such ties.It was the first time the Pope had spoken publicly on the issue.Diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Poland were broken when the Communists took power after the Second World War.Dissidents say they’ll fight from within party Continued from page / dence hardliner and unsuccessful leadership candidate who led them saying Johnson’s policy would only sidetrack the drive for independence, returned to tell delegates the PQ would be more effective united.“We want to assure the party of our profound loyalty to leader Pierre Marc Johnson,” Bertrand said, adding that members must now rally to fight the Constitutional accord.Delegates also showed their support for Johnson by voting to reelect party vice-president Nadia Assimopoulos over failed leadership candidate Francine Lalonde, who had opposed national affirmation.But dissidents said few would re- sign from the party as several senior cabinet ministers did in 1985 after the issue was dropped from its electoral plank.Many dissidents like Claude Lessard said they would remain in the party to promote sovereignty within the party and outside of it.“We re not going to get what we want by leaving,” said Lessard, president of the central Quebec riding association of Laviolette.A recent survey indicated Quebecers were confused over what national affirmation meant and whether Johnson stood for federalism or sovereignty.Johnson had made it known during the past few months that the party “is finished "if it didn't settle its differences at the weekend convention.«¦_______ IFECPm CIRCULATION DEPT.— S69-9S2I Subicrlptlon* by Carrlar: 1 year: $63.20 weekly:

Barry Moore is in satisfactory condition in hospital after his car crashed into a ditch near L’Annonciation, Que., Wednesday night.The 40-year-old member for the West Quebec riding of Pontiac-Gatineau-Labelle was returning to Ottawa from a riding function when the accident occurred.With seven broken ribs and several cuts and bruises, his son Jeff said Thursday, Moore dragged himself about 300 metres to a farmhouse to get help after he was either thrown or crawled through the broken front window.Some rebel, some rally OTTAWA (CP) —- A backlash within the Liberal party against rebel caucus members has produced a rallying behind John Turner’s leadership, party president Michel Robert says.Several Liberal MPs, including Don Johnston and David Berger, have openly opposed constitutional changes contained in the Meech Lake accord, which party leader Turner has endorsed.Other MPs and senators have reserved judgment on the changes.Toddler tumbles out window TORONTO (CP) — A toddler survived after tumbling 14 storeys from the balcony of his parents’ apartment Sunday.Three-year-old John Aucoin was in critical condition after landing on a lawn still damp from rain.He was treated at the Hospital for Sick Children for broken ribs, a punctured lung and other internal injuries.Family friends said the child apparently crawled on to a table on the balcony and made his way on to the 1.2-metre-high concrete ledge before losing his balance.Stop to kangaroo kill called TORONTO (CP) — Canada should ban the import of kangaroo products to protest the cruelty of the annual kill, two of Australia’s top conservationists say.“Australia has the dubious distinction of having the largest and most brutal wildlife slaughter in the world, and ;t’s time that international pressure be brought to bear on the hunters,” Laurie Levy said Saturday.Levy and his partner, Neal Bethune, best known for pioneering techniques to save beached whales, have made saving kangaroos their latest cause.Singing cyclist arrives in TO TORONTO (CP) — A young Uruguayan singer whose family thought he was crazy when he set out for Montreal on his bicycle with only $80 has made it to Toronto — still going strong.Walter Gallaztegui, 24, has travelled 22,530 kilometres through 15 countries, singing his songs and reading his poetry.He has ridden his bicycle, a standard one-speed weighing 77 kilograms including gear, the entire distance since setting out in January 1986.Maritimers hold protest SAINT JOHN, N.B.(CP) — Achill wind, heavy drizzle and about 200 demonstrators from across the Maritimes greeted delegates as they arrived Sunday for the Canadian Nuclear Association's annual conference.The demonstrators, some wearing gas masks and goggles or mock radiation suits, were protesting plans to build a second nuclear reactor at Point Lepreau.about 20 kilometres southeast of here.Weather Sunny today with cloudy periods and a high of 23.Cloudy

John Hughes returned home Sunday amid a flotilla of pleasure craft shrouded in fog and driving rain.The 26-year-old Nova Scotia sailor eased his sloop, the Joseph Young, into a berth at the Dartmouth Yacht Club shortly after 2 p.m.in a wash of cheers, horns and whistles — 315 days after leaving for the BOC Challenge solo round-the-world yacht race.” Winnipeg stages peace march WINNIPEG (CP) — Winnipeg residents endured a record hot day for June 13 on Saturday as temperatures soared to 34.4, but that didn’t stop hundreds of people from taking part in the city’s annual Walk for Peace.Organizer Cole Summers put the total at 25.000, police estimated the number closer to 6.000, and a reporter counted 3,560 participants walking, riding bicycles or skateboards, piloting wheelchairs or riding in strollers.“That is the most ridiculous figure I ever heard,” Summers said of the lower figures.He said some enthusiasts who walked in previous years may have decided to sit this one out.He added, however, that each walk attracts new participants.Boxer’s family killed in crash GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta.(CP) — The father and younger brother of Canadian heavyweight champion Willie de Wit were among four men killed Sunday in the crash of a light plane.Len de Wit, owner of a paving and gravelcrushing operation in Grande Prairie, and his .son Theo, 23, died when their Cessna 210 slammed into a wooded area near this northwestern Alberta city and exploded.Words will never hurt him PRINCE RUPERT.B.C.(CP) — Premier Bill Vander Zalm was dogged for the third day in a row Sunday by angry trade unionists protesting his government’s labor legislation but he said he isn’t afraid of them.“I can’t control the confrontations organized in some of the places I go to now but I’m certainly not afraid of it," the premier said in an interview before jousting verbally with about 100 demonstrators.U.S.sanctions bear little weight WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.economic sanctions against Libya have had a minimal effect because European countries have failed to take comparable action, the General Accounting Office says.“For the sanctions applicable to U.S.exports and imports to have a serious effect on Libya, European countries would have to impose similar sanctions,” says a report from the federal agency.“The administration’s efforts to obtain multilateral support for similar trade sanctions have not been successful.The report says the United States was the “predominant” supplier of oilfield equipment, services and supplies to Libya in the 1960s and 1970s.However, it says, “representatives of U.S.oil producing and servicing firms told us that Romania, Yugoslavia, Japan and the Soviet Union have the capacity to manufacture and service the equipment needed to run an oil field operation.” Gorbachev congratulates Maggie LONDON (Reuter) — Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has sent a message to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher congratulating her on her sweeping election victory, a spokesman for Thatcher's office said today.The two leaders have visited each other’s countries and are known to have established a good working relationship despite ideological differences and disagreements over arms control.Gorbachev visited Britain in 1984 before he became General Secretary of the Soviet Communist party, and the rapport between the two was strengthened in March when Thatcher had 13 hours of talks with him in Moscow.Journalist held in Nigeria NAIROBI.Kenya (AP) — Nigerian officials detained a Newsweek correspondent for nine hours at the Lagos airport before expelling him as a “prohibited immigrant,” the journalist said today.Ray Wilkinson, 43, Nairobi-based reporter for the weekly newsmagazine, later flew to London.In a telephone interview, Wilkinson said he flew from Nairobi to Lagos on Sunday to cover a meeting in Abuja, Nigeria on African debt.He said he had a visa issued by the Nigerian High Commission in Nairobi, but airport immi gration officials said he was a “prohibited immigrant.” The journalist said he was held in a security office and was not allowed to make telephone calls.Human error causes gulf tragedy WASHINGTON (AP) — Senior officers of the USS Stark failed to take proper defensive measures before an Iraqi warplane hit the frigate with missiles, says a congressional report that blames the Persian Gulf attack on U.S.complacency and Iraqi carelessness.The Stark’s captain had gone to his cabin shortly before the attack that killed 37 sailors on the night of May 17, and another officer didn’t order that a radio warning be sent to the Iraqi pilot until the warplane was well within attacking range, the House of Representatives armed services committee said in a preliminary report on the assault.The attack “was almost certainly inadvertent,” the report said, blaming both the Iraqis and the Americans.Violence in India still mounting NEW DELHI (Reuter)— Religious and political leaders expressed outrage and shops closed in New Delhi today to protest Sikh extremist shootings, including a machine-gun attack on a child’s birthday party that left 14 dead and 20 wounded.Police checked vehicles for two young Sikhs who conducted the shooting spree late Saturday in the capital’s fashionable southern suburbs.Extremists also shot dead 15 people in five incidents over the weekend in Punjab, where they are fighting to set up an independent Sikh country, police said.Security forces were put on alert in Punjab and New Delhi as police prepared for further attacks.Students protest cigarette factory BEIJING (Reuter) — Students at a Beijing institute defied official warnings today to end a five-day-old classroom strike they called to demand a cigrette factory leave their overcrowded campus, college officials said.About 550 of the 1,100 students at the Central Institute of Finance and Banking failed to turn up for morning classes, a spokesman for the institute’s foreign affairs office said.The protest is the first campus unrest reported since an ideological clampdown in education following a countrywide wave of protests late last year.The strike was aimed at ensuring the cigarette factory, which took over college premises during the chaotic Cultural Revolution period between 1966 and 1976, moves out this summer as scheduled.Doonesbury Korean students stage protest SEOUL (AP) — A holdout

early in St-Elie while tests go on over air problems at Alfred Desrochers school SHERBROOKE — While their elders scratch their heads about what’s wrong with their brand-new school, a group of St-Élie d’Orford students has started their summer holiday two weeks early.Students at École Alfred-Desrochers were kept home from school starting last Thursday.The school will not reopen in the fall.The school will stay closed in September, said Bernard Desruisseaux, director general of the Sherbrooke Catholic school board, La Commission scolaire catholique de Sherbrooke (CSCS).Places for its pupils will be found in other schools, he said.Parents say some material apparently used in construction of the building last year is giving their children mysterious headaches, itchy skin, indigestion and other ailments.NEW PAINT JOB Tests earlier in the year failed to turn up the unknown substance, and a complete paint job while pupils were sent to other schools failed to clean up the atmosphere.While parents, teachers and schoolboard officials wonder where they will put Alfred-Desrochers’ pupils in September, government engineers try to find a solution to an itchy problem which caused it to be closed for several weeks earlier in the year.CSCS official Roland Quintal said on the weekend that engineers had turned up abnormal levels of carbon dioxide last week in some Alfred-Desrochers classrooms.HIGH DIOXIDE LEVELS Normal indoor levels of carbon dioxide are below 1000 parts per million, Quintal said, but levels of 1700 to 2000 ppm were found in some areas of the school.The high levels of carbon dioxide may result from an inadequate Sent for psychiatric tests Sherbrooke woman charged in ex-lover’ SHERBROOKE — A 42-year-old woman has been charged with involuntary homicide following a lengthy police investigation into an April 3 apartment fire which left a Montreal Street resident dead.Denise Jeanneret was arrested late Thursday and appeared before Judge Gérard Desmarais in Sessions Court Friday.Rolland Marcotte, 56, died during the April 3 blaze at 588 Montreal Street.Marcotte was trapped in his apartment during the fire, which started on his balcony — the only exit from the modest rent.Sherbrooke police say they began to suspect Jeanneret immediately.FORMER GIRLFRIEND A former girlfriend of the victim, they say she wanted to frighten his new lover, and threw a cigarette into a cardboard box on the balcony, thinking no one was home.Judge Desmarais released the accused on bail but ordered her to visit Dr.Pierre Gagné of the Sherbrooke Hospital for a psychiatric ventilation system in the school.Desruisseaux said.If more tests this week confirm the high carbon dioxide levels, he added, the school board will be able to solve the problem by improving the school’s ventilation.A forced-air system serves part of the school, he said.But Desruisseaux warned that the findings have not yet been confirmed by doctors.Desruisseaux said engineers and health officers are also looking at the type of window used in the buil ding, and its roof.s fire death examination.She was also ordered to stay away from two police witnesses in the affair.“But I don’t want to see those two at all,” Jeanneret replied, apparently unbalanced.“If I ever see them at my place, it will be the police who have to come and get them." Woman fought off attacker with a hammer RICORIVGUV RKNAOD —* * ¦*%*, * * y?;- Is it white-line fever?The earnest maintenance workers of the Quebec Transport Ministry won’t let a little thing like a dead porcupine get in their way — at least when it comes to painting white lines down the sides of highways.The new paint job on Route IDS near Bury somehow just wouldn 't have been quite — well, complete — if the highway artists hadn’t included a little something from the local décor.Or maybe the painter was so enrapt in the passing scenery that he took his eyes off the road for a minute too long.One day soon, maybe, another crew of Transport workers will come along, take a good long look at their colleagues’ masterpiece, scrape it off the road, and.throw it in the ditch.Rollbar caves in skull Martinville in-law incident brings quick arrest Youth dead in Dunham fork-lift mishap MARTINVILLE — A 24-year old man will appear in Sessions Court today following a bizarre incident Friday at the home of his sister-in-law.At about 1:30 a.m.Friday, police say, a man entered a Martinville home through a window.He was wearing a ski mask.Discovered by the occupant, a 28-year old woman, the intruder attempted to strangle her.Her two children were asleep in their Power off 3Vi hours rooms.But the woman managed to grab a hammer and fight him off.After a struggle in which both victim and attacker were hit with the hammer, the man snatched her purse and fled, knocking down the woman's daughter who had heard the fuss and entered her mother’s bedroom.The woman, whose husband works outside the region, sought refuge at the home of a neighbor who called police at about 2a.m.VICTIM TO HOSPITAL Family members were called in as well and the victim was taken to hospital by her brother-in-law, suffering from minor head injuries from the hammer.Quebec Police Force officers led by Det.Tom McConnell and doghandler Cst.Serge Carignan mounted a search.By noon they had tracked down the attacker.His bloodied ski mask was found behind his house, which is also in Martinville.Daniel Laperle of Martinville was brought before Sessions Court Judge Léopold Fournier briefly Saturday and was remanded to cells until today.Laperle was charged with breaking and entering the victim’s house, attempting to murder her, wearing a disguise with criminal intent, theft of the purse, and assault on the child.Police said the accused was the brother-in-law who had later taken the victim to hospital.DUNHAM — A young man died of head injuries Friday after the fork lift truck he was driving tipped over.Dead is Martin Allard, 19, of Granby.He was killed when he was hit in the head by the fork-lift’s roll bar as it went over.The accident took place not far from the Matcom Distribution building products yard at the intersection of Vail and Boulard roads.Allard was at work for Matcom at the time.Matcom manager Robert Cleary said the lift truck rolled while Allard was turning onto Vail Road, on its was back to the company’s main yard after placing some materials in a secondary storage yard around the corner.Quebec Police Force Sgt.Léon Montagne, supervisor of the nearby Cowansville detachment, said Labor Ministry investigators will look into the accident because it took place on the job.Waterville man dies in Bond ville crash BONDVILLE — Ivon Perron, 25, of

cial police arrested a man Sunday who had threatened to stab his parents and held police at bay with a shotgun for several hours, a spokesman said.The 24-year-old man, whose identity has not been released, is to appear in Sessions Court in nearby Drummondville today to face charges of attempted murder and illegally discharging a firearm, a Quebec Police Force spokesman said.No one was injured in the inci- dent, which police said began late Saturday night when the man, believed to be drunk, threatened his parents with a knife.The first two policemen arrived at about 10:30 p.m.Saturday, and the suspect fired at them twice, striking their patrol car, but barely missing them.Negotiations with the man proved futile.He was arrested after he left the house where he was holding his parents — unarmed — to find his car keys.FOR BETTER NUTRITION, PLEASE GIVE TO CARE CANADA émÊÊÊm mm.CAKE* CARE Canada mL 131?Rank Ottawa KIR 5H7 A' . 4—The RECORD—Monday, June 15, 1987 #¦___tel ifecora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial All in one basket It’s nice to see that the Parti Québécois has finally discovered a political party is like a team that pulls together and stands on one platform.And it’s nice for leader Pierre Marc Johnson’s sake that he’s finally got all his little PQ eggs in one basket.At the party’s weekend policy convention 80 per cent of the delegates voted to support a softened stand on independence and put their support behind Johnson’s national affirmation idea.That endorsement means the PQ supports a gradual increase of the province’s powers within Confederation rather than pulling for the province to take a solo flight.No kidding, this will certainly make things easier for Johnson when election time rolls around again.At least this time he’ll be able to market one basket full of eggs rather than a coop full of cackling hens.It’s always easier to sell the final product instead of the raw materials.But what it also means is that the PQ delegates have realized that independence is an issue that Quebecers don’t want, at least not yet.The PQ won’t be fighting the independence issue during the next election despite a proposal passed at the convention making sovereignty the party’s fundamental goal.Johnson said on the weekend that independence will only rear its head when Quebecers show they are ready for it.After all, there are 3'/2 million voters in this province and there haven’t been any polls of late that indicate Quebecers are hungry for independence.In fact recent polls show most Quebecers are pretty happy with the Meech Lake accord and glad to be part of Canada.But of course the 80 per cent of supportive delegates means there are another 20 per cent who aren’t willing to go with the flow.Some of those delegates got their tail feathers ruffled and walked out of the convention, angry that their party no longer supports their interests.Another flock signed petitions opposing national affirmation and vowed to support sovereignty.Guy Bertrand, an independence hardliner and an unsuccessful leadership candidate led the flock saying that Johnson’s policy would only sidetrack the drive for independence and told the delegates the PQ would be more effective if it were united.Someone should remind Mr.Bertrand about the Edsel — the car that Ford just couldn’t sell, no matter what.Like the Edsel, independence is an idea that can’t be sold to Quebecers, at least not now.And perhaps Mr.Bertrand should open his eyes and notice that the party is united — at least 80 per cent of it, that is — and that does make for an effective platform.The PQ dissidents say most of them won’t be resigning and that they’ll stay inside the party to push for independence.That’s not surprising but they should also support the rest of their feathered friends and help Johnson carry the PQ basket to market.MELANIE GRUER NFB banking on extra cable dough OTTAWA (CP) — The National Film Board is banking on millions of cable subscribers to pay an extra dollar every month for two new channels serving several Canadian productions.The TV Canada-TeleCanada proposal led by the federal film agency is one of 23 applications for new specialty network licences that will be decided after public hearings this summer by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecomunications Commission.TV Canada-TeleCanada were the English and French, children’s, regional, drama and generally you-name-it networks which a federal broadcast task force said in September that viewers wanted and needed to counter American shows o regular channels.The two networks, to cost about $55 million in the first year, want to go on the regular cable band with a mandatory $l-monthly subscriber fee that would rise to $1.50 a month by the fifth year.They would air children’s and youth programs, drama, documentaries and the performing arts in both languages for about 17 hours a day.Material would come from National Film Board archives, independent productions and regional shows picked up from broadcasters across the country.The proposal has strong backing from Communications Minister Flora MacDonald.NEEDS MONEY However, broadcast industry fears the unnecessary competition could hurt existing public networks that provide the same programs but are aching financially under government restraint.The Commons communications committee has sided with the cable industry in opposing any must-carry, must-pay order for the new networks.TV Canada should only go on basic cable with a larger package including other specialty channels, the committee says.However, Francois Macerola is counting on access to a large cable audience to bring in the necessary operating money.Macerola heads the film board which is sponsoring the proposal on behalf of a newly-formed non-profit corporation known as OBCI.He admits being told by some cable distributors that $1 or $1.50 a month isn't enough to finance quality programs, but Macerola says he’s creating only a small corporate structure to pick up existing productions.“We do not want to establish a second TV Ontario or Radio Quebec.We do not want to establish a bureaucracy.” Some broadcasters feel the film board, with its top-heavy bureaucracy, may not be suited to deliver a new network, which they fear could siphon off programs that would go to existing free networks.“There is a perception that the NFB may not be the ideal custodian of an efficient, lean and new broadcast undertaking,” says Bill Roberts, vice-president of television for the Canadian Association of Broadcasters.Tomifobia accord came about after hours of sipping will stand before all the TV’ cameras in the country and reach into a bowl containing two numbers.a one and a two.She will pick one of them, and depending on whether it’s odd or even.One half or the other half of all federal and provincial employees will clean out their desks.One in every two, depending on whether their social insurance number is odd or even From the PM right down to the grass cutters at the two tourist kiosks right past the Three Villages, every other one will be gone.“Holy hungry!” you exclaim But wait.Obviously the size of government is instantly halved thus reducing bureaucratic red tape and bumbling by at least 50 per cent immediately (and probably more since only about half of the people are doing necessary work anyway.the other half just filling time by thinking up antagonizing forms and procedures to drive us wild).Also, cutting half the salaries and pensions of this humon-gous group of people will save such gobs of money that the deficit will virtually disappear overnight.“But what about unemployment,” you nervously whisper, thinking about good old Aunt Edna who has been processing grant applications from General Motors all these years.Easy.Most of the government employees are really pretty clever people.Their trouble has been that while they wanted to work, there just wasn’t much for them to do except send memos back and forth to each other and to find ways to spend up their budgets (grants, new tax forms, double tourist information kiosks, buying up oil companies, etc.).Once turned out into the real world, these folks won’t sit around.They will go to work starting small businesses, offering new services, selling new products.making new gizmos, etc.Actually doing productive activities and in the process, they’ll start employing some of us who are now without jobs.Initially thought of as drastic, SO WHAT’s Tomifobia River Accord was mil The Meech Lake Accord.Wow! After all these years of wrangling, they finally got together and hammered out an agreement.Probably could never have done it if they hadn’t been around that lake.I wonder if it had to be that particular lake or if any lake would have done.Maybe even a river would have worked.Could be that any body of water is O.K.“What do you mean ref, that ball wasn’t anymore a strike than the man in the moon.” “Come on, we’ll go over to Meech Lake and settle it.” Or, “Jeez Honey, our Visa bill is outrageous this month.” “What do you mean outrageous! It was those absurd fishing lures that sent our budget skyrocketing.” “Tell you what, we’ll just run over to lake Memphremagog and settle it.” Well, seeing how well the PM and the premiers got along at Meech Lake, it was quite natural when one of the guys got this brainstorm during an argument over whether to sip a few or go bowling.Since we’re blessed with untold numbers of lakes and rivers (Lake Memphremagog, Lake Massawippi, Lake Magog, several Crystal Lakes, the Mighty Tomifobia, etc.and etc.), why not take advantage of these wonderful resources and help out the country.Use one of these bodies of water and solve the major problems of Canada.Kind of a high level think tank right here in the Eastern Townships.So, they formed “SOLUTIONS ON WHOPPERS HERE AT TOMIFOBIA” (SO WHAT).Then the guys went to a bunch of town council meetings to get a handle on the significant problems in the area.All they learned though, was about shoddy road maintenance and tearing down neat old historic buildings that everybody wants to build new ones that nobody wants, or inadequate sewage disposal and impure drinking water.Hardly issues worthy of convening the prestigious think tank on the shores of the mighty Tomifobia.By CHICK SCHWARTZ Tomifobia Tales By CHICK SCHWARTZ When you really w’ant to know what’s on peoples’ minds, you’ve got to talk to great numbers of them face to face.So, naturally one of the guys went to the local video rental store, another went to the liquor commission, and another went to the lottery machine.In about 15 minutes, an enormous range of problems were solicited from a huge group of informed citizens.Here’s the list of most often mentioned serious problems: A) Everybody was sick about the cost of government.“Totally out of control”, was the most common comment.B) The budget deficit was noted with regularity.People thought it was awfully unfair to burden our children with this debt.C) Unemployment.Folks thought that with nearly ten per cent of Canadians out of work, we were losing our place as one of the world’s leaders in productivity.Fortified with a couple of cases of refreshment, SO WHAT convened under the railroad trestle over the Tomifobia and after several heated hours of sipping and shouting, came up with what has become known as the Tomifobia River Accord.And it’s brilliant in its simplicity and effectiveness.One solution to all three major problems: cost of government, budget deficit and unemployment.Here it is.On a day which will surely become known in the annuals of Canadian history as “That Day”, Mila gradually recognized for the brilliant bit of problem solving that it was.And, of course, the think tankers themselves became world famous Appeared on the Royal Canadian Air Farce, and during a single month, actually spoke at two church bingo parties, an IODE meeting and a spaghetti supper.And they became just a little bit big headed.Thought they could solve just about any problem at all.Unfortunately, at about this time, the Black Watch approached them Apparently they were having this big shindig.Something about its 125th anniversary celebration, and they needed a mascot.SO WHAT only needed one case of fortification to solve this one.It was painfully obvious.Who better to be the Black Watch mascot than that infamous long snouted hound himself; the mighty Black Dog.Knowing the great beast’s propinsi-ty to nose around the nether regions of human anatomy, and the minimally guarded aspect of the Black Watch members’ lower extremeties due to their somewhat open attire, the thinkers did suggest that the mighty mascot be muzzled during the festivities.All was well until the actual parade itself.Black Dog, confronted with all those people marching in plaid skirts, was beyond himself.As most of you know, he’s an enormous beast and exceptionally strong.You can guess what happened.POW! The muzzle went flying and snuffle went the loco-moting snout.He was in heaven.He streaked from row to row, goo sing here, sniffing there, in an uncontrolled frenzy.Well, you know who was the official royal inspectress of that Black Watch event don’t you.Suffice it to say that Black Dog’s royal goose got cooked that memorable evening and SO WHAT has been banned from the Tomifobia River for life.Relegated forevermore to holding their ill-attended conferences huddled around Black’s Dog’s piddling puddles.Letter Offensive and lacking in taste Dear Mr.Bury, I am writing to express my disgust at the contents of the Tomifobia Tales column, dated 4th June, re: the “Black Dog” and its habits: offensive and totally lacking in good taste, unacceptable fare for a family newspaper.Yours truly, LORNA CASGRAIN North Hatley On this day in history Today in History June 15, 1987 By The Canadian Press The Oregon Boundary Treaty was signed by U.S.President James Polk 141 years ago today — in 1846.The treaty, signed by Queen Victoria two days later, set the boundary between British North America and the United States at the 49th parallel from the crest of the Rockies to the middle of the channel between Vancouver Island and the mainland.Britain received Vancouver Island.The United States had wanted to control the entire west coast of North America up to the Russian Alaskan border.Where did journalists get the term ‘deadline’?A reader curious about word origins wonders where journalists picked up "deadline,” as in the expression “to meet a deadline.” “I know it involves jails somehow,” he says.Ignoring the unintended slur, let’s see what the books have to say.Yes.all agree it was a prison boundary line, one that a prisoner crossed only at the risk of being shot.Two books specify that the word was coined at a military prison, namely the Confederate prisoner-of-war camp at Andersonville.during the American Civil War.Journalists, who also feel under the gun at times, adopted the word to mean the time limit for completing an assignment.While we have the books out, we might as well track down the histories of a few other common expressions.To run the gauntlet.Originally the word was gantlope, which Swedish friends will tell you is a corruption of gata.meaning a lane, and lopp.meaning a course.It came into English during the Thirty Years War ( 1618-1648).in which Sweden played a part.It meant thrus- Take my word By BOB TAYLOR ting a wrongdoer between two facing lines of soldiers or sailors, who lashed at him as he ran past.To run riot.It means to behave without restraint because, in its previous existence, riot meant loose living or debauchery.A pack of hounds that turned unruly or lost the scent were said to run riot.To pass the buck.This originated with poker, the card game.A counter or marker — called a buck, for reasons that are not clear — was put in front of the player responsible for dealing the next hand Passing the buck, then, meant shifting responsibility to someone else.Harry Truman, a keen player, had a sign in his office at the White House that read, The Buck Stops Here — his way of saying he assumed final authority.To raise Cain.While the books all agree it means to create an uproar or show great anger, they disagree about why.Some say Cain here is a nice-nelly way of saying the devil (the dickens is another).Others believe it alludes to Cain’s violent temper, which made him kill his brother.Abel.To pour oil on.In earlier times, before pollution became a social issue, sailors poured oil on heavy seas to calm them.The practice was mentioned in the first century AD by the Roman scholar Pliny and the Greek biographer Plutarch Some 600 years later, the British historian and theologian Bede also alluded to it.But it wasn’t until the 19th century that the expression was used metaphorically, meaning to calm by tact or soothing words.To mind your Ps and Qs.There are several theories about the origin of this phrase meaning to be careful and precise.One is that it was a warning to beer drinkers to watch their Ps (pints) and Qs (quarts) when the landlord or barmaid was chalking them up for payment later.Another is that it was an admonition to children learning the alphabet, or to printers’ apprentices sorting type, to be careful to distinguish between the confusing p and q.Yet another is that it goes back to the days of Louis XIV, when large wigs were all the rage.French dancing teachers were said to warn their pupils to watch not only their Ps (for pieds, feet) but also their Qs (queues, wigs), which might fall off.To be as mad as a hatter.Lewis Car-roll didn’t invent the expression, though he popularized it with his delightful Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice in Wonderland.The sad reality is that it likely grew out of an occupational disease of hatters caused by their handling of mercury compounds in making felt hats.The disorder took the form of uncontrollable jerky movements and eventually mental disturbances.Bob Taylor welcomes letters about language but cannot promise to answer them individually.He is editor of the Canadian Press Stylebook

WATERVILLE — The Water-ville UCW held the final meeting before summer recess in the church hall on May 27, with the Misses M.and E.Swanson as hostesses and Mrs.E.Ball presiding.She opened the meeting

and Naomi, after which the hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” was sung.Lasting friendship equals love.A true friend rejoices or weeps with us, helps us bear our burdens, is ever ready with a handclasp in times of trouble.A shelter in a weary land.Mrs.Spafford then read two impressive poems on Friendship and closed devotions with a prayer and the Lord’s Prayer, and the offering was received.The secretary’s minutes of the previous meeting were accepted.The treasurer reported a very satisfactory sum realized from our recent Luncheon and Bazaar, a donation sent to Sherbrooke

introduce our guest speaker, Rev.Carl Gustafson, who came to tell us about the “Early Days of Waterville”.In 1802 land grants were given Messrs.Pennoyer, Coffin and Kil-burn.Mr.Kilburn was a surveyor and Mr.Pennoyer ran a flour mill.At that time the village was known as Pennoyer’s Falls.Later the name changed to Hollister’s Mills, Ball’s Mills.Smith’s Mills, according to the name of the latest mill owner.The village became Waterville when it was incorporated.In 1835, a tannery and a sawmill gave the village a boost, and Philip Henry Goss came from Newfoundland and bought a farm a few miles from the village.He was a trained naturalist and the locals thought him a bit demented as he spent so much time catching bugs and talking about the beautiful scenery.Eventually he went to England and wrote a book entitled “The Canadian Naturalist”.His son, Edmund, became a well known figure, was ‘knighted’, and in 1907 published his book “Father and Son”.In 1852 the Post Office was established, and in 1853 the first International Express, joining Portland, Me.and Montreal was completed.This was the signal for factories and industries to start operations.In 1869 C O.Swanson opened a furniture factory, and in 1880 a bed factory started up, with George Gale as owner and employer of 300 workers.The business was later bought by Simmons.Dominion Snath Co.came to Waterville in 18% and ran for approximately seventy years.These snaths were shipped all over the world, but the business was a family concern, started by J.R.Ball and carried on by his son Stuart.The home J.R.built on Main St.is still intact and occupied.C O.Swanson engineered an influx of Scandinavians, fifty families settling here.Many of their descendants are still residents.The first store was owned by a Mr Kennedy who sold to C.O.Peterson Eventually Eric Swanson became the owner By the time George Gale started his bed facto- ry, the village boasted a grist mill, two stores and a hotel.Rev.Carl had many photos on display, which were much enjoyed by his audience.He was thanked for his most informative and interesting talk by Mrs.I.Ingham.A social hour followed during which the hostesses served refreshments with Mrs.E.Ball presiding at the tea-table.• • RICHMOND — Eighteen mem bers of the ACW of St.Anne's Church, Richmond, met at the Wingeat farm, St.Felix de Kingsey on June 2nd at 11:30 a m.A delicious and bountiful luncheon was served by the hostess.Mrs.Marilyn Wingeat.The president, Mrs.Wingeat opened the meeting by leading the members in prayer.She then read an article from the Anglican Magazine comparing how a pine tree must open up before the seeds can scatter and give life; so must the Christian mission open up to spread the seed of salvation.The treasurer, Mrs.Ena Somerville, gave a complete report on the returns of the Buffet Luncheon and the Craft Sale held on May 16.Since that date she had received several donations.These included one from Mrs.Lyall Newell and one from Mrs.Melvina Mastine.Miss Margaret Brill turned in the money that she had made from the sale of cards.Miss Marion Duncan (convenor of Family Life) reported having sent two cards, and Mrs.Muriel Griffith (Convenor of Social Action) two.Mrs.Peggy Saurette (Educational Convenor) gave several instances from the life of Jesus in his role as perfect man and perfect God.For example when he wept at the death of Lazarus and then raised him from the dead.Mrs.Winifred Alexander moved a vote of thanks to Mrs.Marilyn Wingeat for her generous hospitality.All present seconded that motion.There would be

11 By James Jacoby You should be familiar with the “sure trick” concept.It refers to situations in which you can absolutely guarantee making the required number of tricks.Today’s contract seems unlucky.The club finesse does not work and clubs don’t split, so declarer has to play the hearts for only one loser.He can’t do it on his own.But there is a sure-trick approach.Declarer takes dummy’s ace of spades, then plays ace and king of diamonds.Next come the ace and king of clubs, followed by dummy’s remaining spade, on which South plays — not a trump, but his remaining club.Suppose West wins that trick.What might he lead?If he plays a heart, declarer loses only one heart trick.If he plays a spade, declarer can ruff in his hand while discarding a heart from dummy.If he plays a club, it might be either the queen, which declarer can ruff, setting up the jack in dummy, or a low club, which declarer can cover with dummy’s jack.Regardless, if West leads a club, South can establish a winner.What if East wins that second spade trick?If he leads a heart, declarer ducks and West will be in the same position as before.And if East wins the spade and plays a low club?Declarer will simply discard a heart.If West has the club queen, the remaining club jack in dummy will be a winner to take care of declarer’s other heart loser.If West shows out on the club, the jack will win, and that will be 11 tricks for South June 16,1987 ASTRO'GRAPH Bernice Bede Osol ^Your ‘Birthday Tuesday, June 16,1987 Major achievements are in the offing for you in the year ahead.They are not likely to

devil of the pack.I know you as a sensitive, loving person, No one knows it more than I in fact.No one understands your secret sorrows, You let this unseen presence rule your life, I hope and pray you'll find in some tomorrows, A ray of hope and strength to fight this strife.You call and say you love me same as always, And say I’m sorry for the things I’ve done.I know you hurt yourself more than any other, And hide your self doubts with what you think is fun.Some day I hope you find what you are seeking, No one else can find it in your soul.But even though I know not what you’re after I’.ll love and try to help you find your goal.Composed and written 1978 1.HOYT Ayer’s Cliff, Que.BITS AND PIECES I knew an oldish woman who had a hard time choosing a Christmas gift for hubby, Since he often had trouble starting his car she finally decided on a battery booster.But they are rather large and difficult to hide and he was pretty sharp.So she found that trying to surprise him was as hard as sneaking sunrise past a rooster.There was an old hermit who lived in the mountains and spent most of his life in a cave, He had never been on the ocean or even been near it but in his will asked to be buried at sea, He was well-liked by the few people who knew him so they agreed to heed his last plea, But five of his neighbours (they must have been clever) trying to be helpful, drowned while digging his grave.There was also an Irish lad who came screaming for help to rescue his uncle Perce, When asked why he needed help he said, “He’s in quicksand up to his knees”, His friends said “That’s not very deep, he should be able to get out by himself with ease ”, “That’s what you think” said the kid.“and I guess he might if he wasn’t in head first”.COWANVILLE — On June 1st, Prosperity

each was always trying to out do the other so in trying the telescope he turned to his cousin and asked, “Can you see that fly crawling up the side of that barn away up on that old farm over there?” “No” said the fist, “and I don’t have a hearing aid but I can hear him stamping his feet.” One of our farming neighbours had a young hired hand who surprised the boss after one month by saying he was through, This farmer was one of those who worked late himself and expected his help to put in those long hours too.So it came as a shock when the young lad said he was not satisfied and w as quitting
