does he carry his own condoms?” Disguised tankers to brave Gulf tonight KUWAIT (AP)—U.S.navy ships are making final preparations for the maiden voyage of American-flagged Kuwaiti tankers through the Persian Gulf.The first voyage is tentatively set for tonight.Iran has said it will not be deterred from attacking the tankers by the U.S.presence.On Monday, the Iranian government said it will ignore a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Iran-Iraq war.Pentagon officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Monday two Kuwaiti oil tankers flying the U.S.flag will pick up navy escorts either this evening or early Wednesday.The U.S.navy ships are docked just outside the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow southern entrance to the Persian Gulf.Exact timing for the first escort has been left to Rear Admiral Harold Bemsen.Iran and Iraq have attacked foreign merchant ships in their war, which has dragged on since September 1980.Since last September, Iran has attacked Kuwaiti vessels and ships travelling to Kuwait.Iran charges that the Persian Gulf country aids Iraq.Kuwait is Iraq’s western neighbor at the gulf’s northern end.WILL GUARD 11 The U.S.administration said it agreed to register 11 Kuwaiti tankers under American flags and provide them with U.S.protection to ensure oil can travel through the gulf to the West.Kuwait has also leased three tankers from the Soviet Union, which provides protection for them.The prime minister of Kuwait, Crown Prince Saad al-Abdullah al-Sabah, said Monday the United States will decide how to respond to any attacks on the reflagged tankers or their escorts.He said there is no agreement between Kuwait and Washington on how to retaliate.HALIFAX (CP) — A man once deported from Canada became the first of 174 refugee claimants ordered released from detention Monday as legal wrangling snarled the first day of hearings to decide their eligibility to stay in the country.Amrik Singh Dhinsa — deported in 1980—was ordered released on a $3,000 cash deposit and a $2,000 performance bond expected to be posted today by a member of the Sikh community in neighboring Dartmouth.Immigration officials declined to specify what breach of the Immigration Act led to the deporta- tion of Dhinsa, smuggled onto a Nova Scotia beach with the others July 12.Spokesman Wayne Piercey described it as a minor violation that was not a major concern.CBC-TV reported that Dhinsa was deported for working illegally in Vancouver but Piercey refused to confirm the report.The Vancouver Province, quoting unnamed immigration officials, added that a woman claiming to be Dhinsa’s common-law wife appealed with authorities not to release him from Halifax, fearing he might come after her and her two children.MUST REPORT In releasing Dhinsa.the adjudicator ordered him to live with a family in Dartmouth and report regularly to local immigration officers.Piercey said he didn't know if Dhinsa was the only one in the group of Asians to have been deported but that the department will ask that a number remain in detention because of “some concern about their previous activities.” Six adjudicators and six department officers would be “ready to roll” this morning, Piercey said, Gentle persuasion RHCORD/JOHN McCAGHEY Paul 'Butcher' Vachon gives Roland Fournier, general manager of the Brome Missisquoi Perkins Hospital, some novel

has advised its ships to avoid the Persian Gulf and stepped up security at its Beirut mission as negotiations with Iran to end embassy sieges in the two countries showed little progress Monday.Scores of French police armed with rifles and machine-guns blockaded Iran’s embassy in Paris on Monday night.The embassy area was illuminated by spotlights to prevent the escape of the man who is the central figure in the dis- Family still optimistic six months after Waite disappearance in Beirut LONDON (AP) — The Archbishop of Canterbury and the family of Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite said Monday they believe he is still alive.Monday marked the passage of six months since Waite, 48, vanished in Beirut on a mission to free foreign captives in Lebanon.Waite, who earlier helped free three American hostages, dismissed his bodyguards Jan.20 as he went to meet two Americans still in captivity.Since Waite disappeared, there has been a surge of kidnapping in Lebanon.A total of 25 foreigners are missing after being abducted.No group has claimed to have Waite in custody.Only rumors and unsubstantiated reports on his fate have surfaced.Archbishop Robert Runcie bemoaned the lack of solid information and the “false reports which have added to the pain of those who are waiting.” ‘‘But there is one common factor which runs through the most reliable (reports), and that is that Terry is still alive, and that gives us hope,” he said.DON’T SPECULATE Waite’s wife Frances and their four children have retreated from the public eye since his disappearance, but his brother David said the family does not speculate on whether the envoy is dead.“We believe wholeheartedly that Terry is still alive,” David Waite said.“We have no concrete evidence for this, but we honestly and sincerely believe that he is.” The archbishop, spiritual head of the Anglican Church, said he was using “every legitimate means” to try to get Waite released.Earlier this year, Runcie offered to use his influence with Lebanese Christians to help determine the fate of three Iranians missing since 1982.In return, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, Hashemi Rafsanjani, said he had tried to locate Waite.Before Waite left London on his fifth mission to Beirut, he denied any connection with the arms-for-hoslages deals that had been worked out secretly in Washington.He stressed that his mission was purely humanitarian and that he had not known of the deals arranged under U.S.marine Lt -Col.Oliver North.pute.Vahid Gordji, an Iranian Embassy interpreter, has refused to testify before a judge investigating a series of bombings in Paris in September.France, however, says he must testify.In turn, Iran has said that Paul Torri, the French consul in Tehran, must appear before an Islamic court there to face charges that include spying.In Tehran, Islamic revolutionary guards besieged the French mission for the fourth day since the two countries broke off diplomatic relations Friday.Fifteen French nationals and about 45 Iranians have been left stranded by the sieges.For the first time since the diplomatic rupture, an Iranian diplomat left his embassy Monday, fuelling speculation of a departure within a five-day time limit suggested by France.Escorted by police, he spent three hours visiting an Iranian bank and the office of Iran’s airline before returning to the mission.French officials, however, denied any breakthrough and said efforts to arrange a rapid exchange of embassy staff had not ended a deadlock over the fate of Gordji.France’s charge d’affaires in Tehran, Pierre Lafrance, held preliminary talks over the weekend to try to end the embassy sieges but had no direct contacts Monday.Lahr explosion likely caused bv insiders OTTAWA (CP) — A sabotage attack at Canadian Forces Base Lahr, West Germany, was set off by a Hoffman charge, a device used by the Canadian forces, a Defence Department source said Monday.Investigators say the attack, which caused an explosion in a fuel compound, was carried out by people with inside knowledge of the camp, possibly Canadians.A Hoffman charge caused the flash, subsequent fire and the explosion which destroyed 62,000 lites of fuel and oil lubricants and damaged six vehicles on July 6.the source said.The device is used to train tank soldiers during exercises.When fired it produces a laser flash, a puff of smoke and a loud bang to simulate tank fire.The laser device allows crews to judge their firing accuracy against targets.The Hoffman charge clips on to a tank turret or barrel and has nine to twelve barrels.Wires connect it to a trigger operated from inside the tank.One barrel fires each time the trigger is squeezed CFB Lahr contains a tank compound and is a base for the Royal Canadian Dragoons, a tank regiment.The fuel compound is used by the dragoons but soldiers from other units and some civilians have access to the area.as the process of determining whether the Asians, mostly Sikhs, qualify for refugee status continues.Eighteen Asians were scheduled to appear before adjudicators today, and officials hope the hearings will proceed faster than Monday Only Dhinsa’s case — one of 12 scheduled — was heard opening day, which was marked by a battle over the presence of reporters.The process was delayed after lawyers for the CBC objected to holding the first hearing in private.Adjudica- tor Bruce Tune eventually allowed reporters in.The adjudicators decide whether the refugee claimants, held in a Halifax military gymnasium since they landed on Nova Scotia’s shores July 12, should be released into the community or further detained.A final decision on a refugee claim can take months.If rejected, refugee claimants can also appeal the decision.See related story, page 2 Voters confirm poll results NDP sweeps three federal byelections By Warren Caragata The Canadian Press The New Democratic Party has confirmed its standing at the top of public opinion polls with a sweep of three federal byelections in Newfoundland, Ontario and Yukon.Only one of the ridings, Hamilton Mountain in southern Ontario, had been won by the NDP in the 1984 general election.The NDP easily won the riding of St.John’s East in Newfoundland on Monday but had to battle strong Liberal showings in Hamilton Mountain and the Yukon to secure the hat-trick.The Conservatives, who had won the two other ridings in 1984, did no better than second in St.John’s and placed third in the other two.“We are witnessing a rather basic change in political attitudes,” NDP Leader Ed Broadbent told reporters before going off to celebrate with a cool beer and a good cigar.“The message to the government is quite clear,” Health Minister Jake Epp told reporters.Epp said the government will have to redouble its efforts, parti-cularily to stimulate economic growth in the regions.GETS MESSAGE TOO Prime Minister Brian Mulroney issued a statement early today saying he is disappointed but that he has received the message.“Clearly, the people in those constituencies are telling us that Canadians want us to perform better as a government.” Raymond Garneau, the Liberal finance critic and co-chairman of the party’s election readiness committee, said the results indi cate the next election will be a contest between the Liberals and NDP.Epp and Garneau said the NDP wins will focus more attention on controversial NDP policies such as nationalization and its intent to withdraw Canadian armed forces from NATO.Although shut out in the win column, the Liberals increased their share of the vote in the three ridings combined to 28 per cent from 17 per cent in the last election.The NDP sweep began on the East Coast where Jack Harris, a St.John’s lawyer, piled up 46 per cent of the vote in a riding where the NDP had won less than seven per cent in 1984.James McGrath had held the seat for the Conservatives since 1968 and had won by more than 25,000 votes in 1984.McGrath resigned to become provincial lieutenant-governor.Ed Broadbent.a change in attitudes.The win is only the second for the NDP in federal politics in Newfoundland.Fonse Faour won Humber-Port au Port-St.Barbe in a byelection in 1978 and hung on in 1979 only to lose it in 1980.On to Hamilton Mountain in On tario’s industrial heartland, where Marion Dewar, the former mayor of Ottawa and the past-president of the NDP, won by 1,600 votes over Elizabeth Phinney, a Liberal backroom organizer.Dewar, who just moved to the area, had to overcome criticism from opponents that she had parachuted into the riding and has no Hamilton roots.The riding had been represented until last year by NDP House Leader Ian Deans who, like McGrath, accepted a job offered by Mulroney.He now is chairman of the Pu blic Service Staff Relations Board.Deans won in 1984 with 49 per cent of the vote, with the Conservatives second.Yukon was another riding where the NDP came third in 1984 but Audrey McLaughlin managed to double the NDP’s share of the po pular vote to 35 per cent after running neek-and-neek through the early counts with Liberal Don Bra-nigan, the colorful mayor of White horse.Triton to dig up $10 million for gold OAK ISLAND, N.S.(CP) - For almost 200 years treasure hunters have tried — and sometimes died — to find a fabled cache of pirate gold at Oak Island on Nova Scotia’s scenic south shore.Now, a consortium has vowed to spend $10 million to solve the mystery once and for all.“This will be the largest undertaking of its kind on this side of the Atlantic,” said David Tobias, president of Montreal- and Nova Scotia-based Triton Alliance."It is going to be a very professional, very methodical determination of what the island’s ancient workings were built to protect.” The 13-heetare island in Ma-hone Bay on Nova Scotia's south shore has been the focus of hun- L dreds of treasure-hunting expeditions since 1795 when young boys discovered a pit below an ancient block and tackle hanging from a tree.At least six people have died in the search for treasure.The so-called money pit has been the focus of the majority of treasure-seeking work.It’s known to be at least 65 metres deep and explorers have discovered a complicated architectural puzzle complete with layers of logs, coconut fibres and rocks with strange markings.MANY SOURCES No one knows for sure if treasure is on the island or how it got there “Our artifacts and carbon dating results point to the original workings of the pit as dating back to the late 16th century,” said Tobias.“They would coincide with the second or third voyage of Francis Drake in 1578 and 1582.” Drake was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I to explore but may have actually been plundering the Spanish, who were becoming rich and powerful during that era, said Tobias.“God really knows what’s there, but it could be Drake’s depot on this side of the Atlantic.The island is only 400 miles (645 kilometres) off a traditional sailing route to Europe.” Another popular theory, which is supported by very little evidence.is that Captain Kidd buried a wealth of gold silver and jewels in his pirating days between 1691 and 1700 i 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 21, 1987 TV viewers may pay $1 for new all-Canadian program station By Clyde Graham HULL, Que.(CP) — Every cable television subscriber in Canada should be forced to pay $1 extra on their monthly cable bill to finance a proposed channel broadcasting exclusively Canadian programs, a spokesman for the channel said Monday.Fil Fraser said all Canadians should have to share the cost of TV Canada-TeleCanada.one of 22 specialty channel applications being heard by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission “We make no apology for wanting to be on as many cable systems as possible,” said Fraser, an Alberta broadcaster.TV Canada, heavily supported by the National Film Board of Canada, would provide Canadian drama, documentaries, children’s programming and performing arts about 16 hours a day.Under TV Canada’s application, its service would be mandatory in more than five-million Canadian homes currently receiving cable.CRTC chairman Andre Bureau suggested the application did not provide for direct accountability to the public who will be paying for the service.Direction will come from a 50-member board of broadcasters and artists.Fraser said their only interest is to provide top quality Canadian programming and the professional standards of the members would protect the public interest.But he added he would like suggestions from the commission on how to expand public accountability.Bureau also said conditions placed on TV Canada-TeleCanada by the National Bank of Canada would have to be lifted before its applica- tion could be approved.The conditions say the broadcast licence would revert to the bank if the proposed TV service gets into financial trouble.REMOVES CONDITIONS CRTC licences cannot be transferred, Bureau added.Fraser said the National Bank is new to the broadcast industry and set some conditions TV Canada didn’t like but he believes the bank will be flexible in its conditions.Bureau also wanted to see written confirmation of a total of $5 million in credit guarantees from the National Film Board and the government of British Columbia.A TV Canada spokesman said they would be provided to the commission.The National Bank is prepared to loan $28 million to the venture.The British Columbia government is supporting the application because the English-language headquarters will be in Vancouver.A TV Canada spokesman said it expects a Quebec community seeking the French-language headquarters will soon replace the NFB loan guarantee.Earlier Monday, the commis- sion heard an application for a new youth channel.Rob Burton, a spokesman for YTV Canada, said there’s a lack of good children’s programming available throughout the day on cable across Canada.“We come here today as missionaries saying there is a horrible need out there,” Burton said.The new channel, backed by several cable companies including Rogers Broadcasting Ltd., would spend about $6 million a year producing and acquiring kids’ programs.Lawyer: anti-hooker law unconstitutional News-in-brief EDMONTON (CP) — An Edmonton lawyer hopes to contest a recent decision by the Alberta Court of Appeal upholding Canada’s antiprostitution laws in the Supreme Court of Canada.Peter Royal, who argued the law violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because it was an infringement of freedom of expression, said he will apply for leave to take the case to the Supreme Court on Oct.1.Royal said on that day the Crown in Nova Scotia will also be applying for leave to take the law to the Supreme Court.“They had a ruling recently where the opposite result was obtained from the one we got here,” he said.A series of lower court decisions across the country has split almost evenly on the issue.In a unanimous decision Friday, the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned a provincial court ruling last September that the antiprostitution law is unconstitutional.UPHOLDS LAW The appeal court decided the 1985 law — which makes it illegal to communicate for the purposes of prostitution — does not violate the charter.Short wins, pets can live in public housing MONTREAL (CP) — William Short, who campaigned across Canada for the right of people to keep small pets in public housing, says he got a letter Monday that made him weep with joy.He said the letter from federal cabinet minister Stewart Mclnnes said Central Mortgage and Housing Corp.has changed its policy and plans to allow small pets in buildings it owns.“I cried when I got this,” Short, a retired RCMP constable who col-i lected about 50,000 signatures on a '¦ petition that he presented to Mclnnes in May, said in an inter- view.The petition asked that people capable of looking after a pet be allowed to keep cats, dogs or other small animals in their apartments.Short said the pet ban began when the agency was formed in 1947 so the policy change “is a real breakthrough after 40 years.“This is going to make thousands of people happy.” Short runs Candy’s Canadian Hearing

(CP) — Sikhs who landed on a rocky Nova Scotia shore July 12 are fleeing arbitrary arrests, killings and terror in India, an adviser has told the Department of Immigration Sher Singh, a Toronto lawyer and a Sikh, said that after speaking with the 174 Asians over two days last week he is convinced they are not part of an organized conspiracy, and that their flight from India was justified.He said he was approached by Immigration Department officials about meeting with the detainees last week.He agreed to act as an unpaid adviser and spoke to the refugees on Friday and Saturday.Unaccompanied by immigration or police officials, he provided an account from inside the CFB Sta-dacona base in Halifax, where the detainees are held The young men inside reported being rounded up in police sweeps of the border towns in India’s state of Punjab and described disappearances and deaths of many of those rounded up with them, he said.“They talked about the male youths being picked up, tortured, being killed in ‘encounters’ at the border,” he said.WANT ANSWERS Singh said one man told him he was one of a group of about 30 #¦____fagl ifecara Qaorg* MacLaran, Publisher_______________________ Charles

Liquor stores open on Sundays No inquiry over soldiers deaths Doctors using outdated methods young men arrested without being charged and was held for months.No more than 10 of the arrested group returned from custody, he said, and no one knew what happened to the rest.In the second sweep, the young man’s brother was also arrested.Singh said he was reported killed at the border while allegedly trying to enter Pakistan.Singh said when he asked members of the group how they were being treated, he was surprised that despite their detention, the guards and the questioning by immigration officials, “they genuinely felt they were extremely happy.” In a prayer service, the detainees, some of them with tears in their eyes, thanked God “for his blessings for bringing them amongst such kind people,” he said.“The concern of the Sikh community was consistent with that of the mainstream community,” he said, referring to fears that some in the group may be terrorists.“The Sikhs (in Canada) were terrified,” he said."We’ve had our share of problems emanating from what we believe are little groups of people with ulterior motives,” he said.MONTREAL(CP) —Sunday sales by the Quebec liquor board at 14 branches across the province have been so good, the board plans to open more stores on Sundays, spokesman Yves Meunier said Monday.Frank Turenne, who manages a provincial liquor store at a downtown Montreal shopping centre, said Sunday has become the second best day of the week for sales.Saturday is the sales leader.“In the beginning, our only customers on Sunday were tourists but now thanks to advertising and customers who told their friends about us we get quite a lot of business,” Turenne said.The liquor store is one of three open Sundays in the Montreal region.Under Quebec law, any business with three or fewer employees may remain open on Sundays.Missing pilot’s body found CHICOUTIMI, Que.(CP)—Quebec provincial police have found the body of one of two pilots who disappeared on the weekend after their planes crashed in different lakes in northern Quebec.Benoit Samson, 36, of Quebec City, died after a Quebec Transport Department twin-engine Canso he was flying on Saturday crashed into Lac Cache, about 550 kilometres north of Quebec City, Quebec provincial police spokesman, Sgt.Guy Robitaille, said today.Robitaille said police divers found Samson pinned behind the Canso’s engine at the bottom of the lake.His co-pilot escaped with the help of nearby vacationers and was released from hospital after being treated for minor injuries.Robitaille said police were still searching for the pilot of a single-engine plane which crashed late Friday in Lac Boisvert, about 400 kilometres north of Quebec City.A passenger swam to safety and was released from hospital after being treated for minor injuries, Robitaille added.Poll reveals postal facts OTTAWA (CP) — Most Canadians want the post office to extend business hours and expand into new services, a poll commissioned by the Canadian Labor Congress and major postal unions shows.The poll, which surveyed 1,200 Canadians between May 14 and May 25, also indicated 50 per cent of respondents opposed transferring postal services to the private sector.Privatization was supported by 37 per cent and 13 per cent were undecided, a news release Monday from the congress said.The poll is accurate to within plus or minus three percentage points 19 times out of 20.Shirley Carr, president of the national labor organization, said the Mulroney government should follow the example of many European countries and allow the post office to generate more revenue through new services.Canada — U.S.drifting apart?TORONTO (CP) — Canadians are more pessimistic than Americans about the state of relations between the two countries, a Gallup poll released today indicates.In Canada, 36 per cent said they believed the two countries are drifting away from each other while 34 per cent said they are coming closer together.Fifteen per cent said things are about the same as they have been, and 15 per cent had no opinion.In the United States, 31 per cent saw the two countries coming closer together, 28 per cent saw a deterioration of relations and nine percent saw no change.Another 32 per cent had no opinion Bruce Peninsula: New park TOBERMORY, Ont.(CP) — An agreement creating Canada’s 34th national park was signed without fanfare Monday, in marked contrast to heated wrangling over the birth of a similar park in British Columbia earlier this month.The Bruce Peninsula National Park will cover 270 kilometres on the tip of the rugged arm of land between Georgian Bay and lower Lake Huron in Central Ontario.The agreement — signed in a ceremony at the Chi-Cheemaun ferry dock by Environment Minister Tom McMillan and Ontario Natural Resources Minister Vince Kerrio — calls for Ottawa to contribute about $14 million to development of the park over the next 10 years.MEDICINE HAT, Alberta (CP) — A series of fatal accidents involving British soldiers training in Alberta must be accepted as an occupational hazard, says a British army spokesman.There is no point in holding an overall inquiry into the deaths of six soldiers in three unrelated accidents since the beginning of June, Maj.Peter Grime said Monday.Risk is part of a soldier’s job, he said.“We’ve got a dangerous occupation.We accept there’s an element of risk in what we do.” Grime said 13 soldiers — including a captain who died when a helicopter crashed Thursday night —- have been killed in accidents since British troops began training at Canadian Forces Base Suffield in 1972.Most of the fatalities have occurred since 1982.Wife lets husband die NEWARK, N.J.(AP) — A paralysed man who starved to death after his wife removed a feeding tube has become the first person to die under the state Supreme Court’s landmark right-to-die decision.Murray Putzer, 65, of West Caldwell, N.J., was buried Sunday.He died at his home Thursday, lawyer James Boskey said.Boskey said Putzer’s death was not disclosed until after he was buried at the request of his family.Putzer had been paralysed since he had a stroke in 1983.His wife removed the feeding tube July 10.A state judge allowed her to remove the tube following the high court’s June 24 ruling that broadened and clarified the right not to be kept alive artificially.French have Iranian code?WASHINGTON (Reuter)—The French government has the code to secret radio messages between Iran and its embassies abroad, the Washington Times said today.The newspaper said in a report from Paris that the code and other documents are being studied by French cipher experts to determine whether the radio messages can be read and whether they would implicate Iran in terrorist attacks.The documents were found on Iranian courier Mohsen Aminzadeh in the French sector of Geneva airport last week and were returned to him after being photographed, the Washington Times said.The airport serves both Switzerland and France.Winning isn’t everything BANNING, Calif.(AP) — Two basketball coaches abandoned a high school team on a stretch of desert highway because they were angry over losing a tournament, Riverside County authorities said Monday.The six Sunny Hills high school boys from Fullerton were discovered Saturday night beside Interstate 10 between Palm Springs and Banning, sheriff’s Sgt.Tim Smith said.Besides being angered over losing the final game of a tournament in Palm Springs, the coaches were upset because one of the boys insisted on playing his radio too loud, the boys told deputies.The coaches took the key out of the van’s ignition and left with a friend who had been following in another car, Smith said.The boys, discovered after about two hours, were taken to the Banning sheriff’s office about 135 kilometres east of Los Angeles.No one was injured, but Smith said authorities were conducting an investigation into whether child endan-germent had occurred.Handler trapped in jet MONTGOMERY (AP) — A baggage handler was trapped in the luggage compartment of a Delta Air Lines jet as it was preparing for takeoff from Atlanta, but the man was freed after passengers heard him banging and yelling, a newspaper reported Monday.A passenger told The Alabama Journal a flight attendant did not immediately take action when passengers called the noise to her attention.Flight 1076 from Atlanta to Raleigh, N.C., was parked at a gate preparing for takeoff about 8:30 p.m.local time Sunday when passengers heard the trapped man banging, Paula Spivey told the newspaper.“Then we heard a man’s voice yelling: Help! Help!”’ she said.Weather Cloudy today, clearing later.High 22, low tonight 12.Wednesday brings sun with cloudy periods and a high of 28.Doonesbury NEW YORK (AP)—Children, cancer patients and post-surgery patients risk suffering unnecessary pain because physicians are acting on out-of-date information about pain-relief, an expert has said.With such patients “doctors, by virtue of outdated medical training and information, undermedicate routinely and do not let patients derive all the benefits opiates and other analgesic drugs can safely provide,” said psychologist Ronald Melzack.Marriage counsellor needed LONDON (Reuter) — Schoolmaster Stephen Staerck banned his wife from talking about her family, restricted her visits to her parents to three a month and allowed her only $4.25 Cdn a week spending money.The restrictions are listed in a marriage contract between Staerck, 37, and his wife Janet, a 31-yeâr-old teacher.Judge Sir John Donaldson said Monday the contract is “one of the most unreasonable documents I have ever seen.” London’s High Court rejected Staerck’s appeal against a divorce decree granted to his wife.Iranian leader is very lucky LONDON (AP) — An Iranian opposition leader survived a car bomb explosion because the attacker placed the device under the wrong seat of the car, Scotland Yard said Monday.The Iranian Embassy condemned the bombing Monday and blamed rivalry among groups opposed to Iran’s revolutionary patriarch, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.The device exploded Saturday under the empty passenger seat of Amir Hossain Amir-Parviz’s car as he drove along Kensington High Street in London, near Kensington Palace.Amir-Parviz, 63, was blown through the windshield, lost a piece of bone from his left leg and suffered severely burned hands and knees.“If the bomb had been placed under the driver’s seat, we don’t see how he could have escaped death,” said a spokesman at Scotland Yard.Students demonstrate in Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE (AP) - About 7,000 students marched through the downtown district of Haiti’s capital Monday, denouncing the three-man governing council and the United States for supporting it.“Down, Down, Down with the CNG (National Governing Council)!” students chanted.“We don’t need the Americans!” “Haitian youths want the departure of the CNG,” said a spokesman for the National Federation of Haitian Students, which organized the march.“We’re against the Americans because they have publicly supported the CNG.” Radio Métropole said other marches were held in Les Cayes, Jeremie, Gonaives and Port-de-Paix.Greasy prisoner escapes STOCKHOLM (Reuter) — Swedish police say a prisoner greased his naked body with margarine, then escaped by slipping through a cell window slightly bigger than a magazine.“It’s incredible,” an prison warden told the Stockholm daily Expressen.“I’ve checked and I can’t even get my head through the opening.” The window is 35 centimetres by 15 centimetres.The 20-year-old man was serving time at the Hall jail just south of Stockholm for a drug crime.National reconciliation ?MOSCOW (Reuter) — Moscow and Kabul have made clear they are committed to a policy of national reconcilation for Afghanistan despite a recent rise in Moslem rebel attacks on Soviet and Afghan government troops.Afghan leader Najib, in Moscow for a visit, briefed Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Monday on progress of the reconciliation policy, said Tass, the official Soviet news agency.Tass said Gorbachev expressed the Soviet Union’s continuing support for the policy.“This is a correct policy (that) suits the vital interests of the Afghan people and enjoys the support.of all who are really interested in a political settlement of the situation,” Gorbachev said.BY GARRY TRUDEAU abus wrb a men man 70 REACH, BABES!

bilingual CFIN-country off the air By Jack Branswell SHERBROOKE — After four years in operation, Coaticook's country and western station CFIN (104.5 FM> has shut down.Owners say the closing is only “for the time being.” The station is rumored to be in debt to the tune of $150,000.Majority owner William Antink said in an interview the station has been off the air for about a week, although listeners have said they have not been able to find the station on the FM band for up to three weeks.Antink would not discuss the financial situation of the station, but he said it has lost “quite a bit of money.” The 450 watt station has suspended operations for the time being, he said, with the hope of being able to revive itself in the near future.Antink says station management is trying to save the station — Which has a rare bilingual operating licence.“We hope it can be saved because if it isn’t we’ll never get another station like it in the area.” FOR COMMUNITY Antink, who says he does not know anything about the radio business, bought the station “because I thought it would be good for the community.” He is now hoping someone else will buy it for the same reason.He says he has been approached by a couple of prospective buyers, althought he adds no concrete offers have been made.Antink attributes the demise of CFIN to poor management.He called that aspect of the station “a big problem.” But he said he still believes there is a future for CFIN—if it is properly managed.“The chances of it working,” he said, “are good if it is run well.” The station has been in shambles for some time now.In its last six weeks it was operating without a program director, and more importantly it did not have an advertising staff, although in radio, as in other media, survival depends on advertising revenue.NO ADS CFIN was not running any ads in the days before it shut down, which means its debts were piling up.Ted Silver, program director of the Sherbrooke area’s English- language AM station CKTS (900 AM), said he was not surprised to hear CFIN had ceased braodcas-ting.“There have been rumors for some time now.When you don't have advertising coming in, then your station is in big trouble.” Silver said he believes CFIN’s problems were in the way they marketed the station."They just didn’t know how to sell the place,” he said.“When a station like that is not doing well you have to be creative in your marketing approach,” Silver added.Other observers said the problem has more to do with geography and language.CFIN broadcast in both French and English from a tower in St-Mathieu de Dixville, a relatively unpopulated area near the borders of Vermont and New Hampshire.Although the majority of the sta tion’s listeners were in the United States, regulations prevented CFIN from selling any advertising there.But in the area of Quebec its weak signal reached (within about a 20 mile radius of Coaticook) there were few potential advertisers with money.CFIN had also suffered a steadily decreasing ‘market share’ of listeners.The station's latest BBM rating (Bureau of Broadcast Measurement) had a decline of some 3000 listeners — from 19,000 to 16 000 — since the last measure ment in the fall of 1986.The CRTC (Canadian Radio.Television and Telecommunications Commission is the broadcast regu- lating arm of the federal government.A CRTC official said the commission is aware of the situation, but officials have not been able to get in contact with the owners of the station.“We will check out the situation and see if there are some possibilités to keep the station going,” said Jeff Atkins, an information officer with the CRTC.Atkins also said the first step is for the CRTC to meet with the owners, to see it some solution, such as selling the station, can be worked out.Atkins also said such a meeting would have to take place in the next few weeks If no arrangement can be made to continue operating the station, he said, then the CRTC will have no choice but to revoke the licence.Two taller storeys instead of three won’t change the ‘Hub’ look Knowlton landmark to return: Rebuild Robert Rond.Robb’s third floor not needed.By Laurel Sherrer KNOWLTON — The owner of the Robb’s Hardware building which was gutted by fire three weeks ago plans to rebuild respecting the original style of the building, but reducing its height by one storey.“We will build it so that visually it looks exactly like it was ; however it will be a two-storey,” Robert Ronci said in a phone interview.A couple of sets of plans for the new building are now circulating around Brome Lake town offices, Ronci said.The building will likely please those interested in preserving the local heritage, he said, despite the fact that it will now conform to zoning bylaws prohibiting three- storey buildings.The new building will have two 12-foot storeys, similar to the original Robb building, constructed in 1882.This will make the height about the same as the building that burned with its three shorter storeys.PRODUCED QUICKLY Ronci was able to produce plans for the new building quite quickly because he already had some drawn up for renovations planned before the fire.All he had to do was remove one storey (the second floor) to produce the current plans.Ronci had the building insured for the amount he bought it for, but not for any of the extensive renovations he had already done.The fire, which took firemen from the Brome Lake and Cowansville departments more than nine hours to put out, looked like it started in the kitchen of a restaurant on the ground floor of the building, but the cause has yet to be determined.“I would really like to know (what started it),” said Ronci.“I spent $20,000 re-doing the wiring in the building.” Although he has heard talk about making an exception to the zoning bylaw in order to preserve a historic site, Ronci says it isn’t necessary since the character of the building can be maintained while respecting current bylaws.Ronci doesn’t see a third storey to go ahead within bylaw as particularly useful either “Nobody wants to rent an office on the third floor,” he said.UP TO HALF MILLION The cost of rebuilding Robb’s could run anywhere from $300.000 to half a million, said Ronci.The restored Robb’s building will still sport the George H.Robb sign but in the future wiil be called The Hub, as it was back in the 1800s when among other things it housed a general store and businesses involved in making carriages and coffins.“I think the town is really behind the Robb building; they really miss it,” said Ronci.“It had three businesses that really catered to a lot of people,” he said, referring to the antique store, the flower shop and Robb’s Café, all located on the ground floor of the building.“It really needs to be put back.” Ronci is confident he’ll get most of his old tenants back once the building is restored.The new building will be much safer as far as fire prevention is concerned, he said.There will be cement and steel between the floors, windows on all sides (instead of mostly on the front and back) and two sets of stairs leading to the second floor.No Quebec rules for alternative health methods Sherbrooke masseur will fight a charge of illegal practice of medicine By Melanie Gruer SHERBROOKE — When he was asked by the president of the Corporation professionelle des médians du Quebec to give a talk, Michael Bernardin thought he would receive an invitation in the mail.Instead he got a court summons.Bernardin, a Sherbrooke reflexologist, must now appear in court this fall to defend himself against a charge of illegal practice of medicine—a case which he says will be hard to win.But Bernardin says he was not practising illegally ; he doesn’t diagnose his patients and he doesn’t make any guarantees that reflexology — a form of massage that helps to relax certain parts of the body through the hands and feet — will cure the patient’s ills.He says it does help some people, but not everyone.“We’re not practising medicine.Doctors might even enjoy a massage themselves,” Bernardin said in an interview Monday.OPENED OFFICE After working in psychology at the Montreal Children’s Hospital in for a number of years, Bernardin did some travelling and returned to Montreal and got a masseur’s licence.Eventually, he took to the autoroute and opened the Institut de massage-réflexologique Bernardin on Peel St.In Sherbrooke He says he’s been practicing now for nine years and teaching reflexology for eight years to private individuals, nursing associations, and CLSCs (community-service clinics) all over the province.He’s been a member of Quebec’s Fédération des masseurs et massothe-rapeutes since 1981.“I teach classes to anyone,” said Bernardin.He teaches a beginners’ class and an advanced class.It’s a one year program and Bernardin says it’s the most advanced reflexology class in Canada, but there are no norms established for teaching massage in Quebec.Some masseurs have simply taken a weekend course, he says, and then set up practice.SPOKE TO DOCTORS In October Bernardin was in Quebec City to speak at a symposium on natural health.Dr.Augustin Roy, president of the Corporation professionelle des médecins du Québec was there too and the two men started talking.“He was refering to reflexology in medical terms.I said to him, ‘you don’t understand,” said Bernardin.The reflexologist told Roy that since reflexology was not a medical science where diagnoses are made and ailments cured, it could not be referred to in medical terms.He told Roy that because no scientific studies had been done on reflexology, no guarantees could be made.Roy then invited Bernardin to come and speak to the corporation about reflexology.“I never heard from him after that.I gave him my card with my phone number but he didn’t give me a phone number or anything.I assumed he would get in touch with me.” ‘STOOLIE’ VISITED Near the end of June, Bernardin was handed a summons to got to court for the illegal practice of medicine.Bernardin says he was visited by what he calls a “stoolie”: someone who was sent spying to make a report of his business.“They come in and give a false name and address.The woman was seen by my assistant and now both of us have received summonses,” he said.After inquiring as to the date of the “stoolie’”s appearance, Bernardin figured out who she was and says a registered nurse practising reflexology in Windsor was visited by the same woman and was also handed the same charge.“The stoolies pick and choose where they go and they go from region to region.They never pick enough in one area so people will not mobilize,” he said.On the summons, there is a box to check off if the defendant is guilty.Bemardin says he’s heard of other natural health workers being cited for illegal practice before, and many check off the box, pay a minimal fine and give up practising, or continue and try to weed out the stoolies.NOT GUILTY But Bemardin doesn’t intend to do the same.He says he’s not practicing medicine and plans to plead $83,000 Ascot Corner robbery region’s biggest ever Sherbrooker caught in Trois Rivières SHERBROOKE — Trois Rivières police did their Sherbrooke colleagues a favor early Sunday when they arrested one of their best “steady customers”, sought in connection with what they say was the biggest bank robbery ever in the region.Quebec Police Force detectives say Richard Cyr, 21, of Sherbrooke was one of three men who held up the Ascot Comer Caisse Populaire last Tuesday.Cyr will appear in Sessions Court today to face charges of armed robbery, illegal detention of a dozen staff and customers, using a firearm with dangerous intent, and possession of a stolen car.Described as “well-known to police” in both Sherbrooke and Trois Rivières, Cyr was busted at about 4 a.m.Sunday by Trois Rivières police during a routine check.The car he was driving turned out to have been stolen in Montreal July 10.Inside police found a bag containing $30,700 in cash, fake hand grenades and two real guns— a .22 rifle and an 8 mm pistol.QPF Sherbrooke detectives picked Cyr up Monday and brought him to the Winter Street jail late Monday night.Angel Proulx visits court SHERBROOKE — Wearing a pair of Bermuda shorts, a member of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang was charged with five counts of murder Monday in the slaying of five bikers in March 1985.Gaétan Proulx, 29, was arrested Saturday and charged with the killing of five Hell’s Angels who were gunned down at a gang clubhouse in Lennoxville after being invited to a club meeting.Proulx is the 25th gang member to face charges in the multiple murder in March, 1985.Three members of the motorcycle gang had charges against them dropped; three others, Jacques Pelletier, Luc Michaud, and Réjean Lessard, were given life Police are still searching for two other suspects in the case, described as the biggest Eastern Townships bank robbery in recent years.They have a warrant for one of them — Steve Labbé, 20, of East Angus.An estimated $83,000 was stolen from the Ascot Comer Caisse Populaire by robbers armed with a revolver and a hand grenade.Police say three men held a dozen staff and customers at bay for nearly half-an-hour before they fled in a car stolen on the spot.No shots were fired and the grenades left with the robbers.in his shorts sentences last year after they were found guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths.Five other bikers — four from Halifax and one from So-rel — have been acquitted.Ten other gang members also face murder charges in the case.Sessions Court Judge Marcel Beauchemin sent Proux back to cells to await further proceedings.not guilty in court.But he says even if he wins in court this time, the battle is not over.“I will plead not guilty.It’s unjust,” he said.“Who can afford to go to court?If you win the corporation of doctors will keep on appealing,” he said.Bemardin says the doctors shouldn’t charge him because some of them find his service useful to patients.“Probably seven or eight doctors in the Eastern Townships send me patients.I don’t see myself as replacing doctors.1 tell my clients I can’t guarantee it’s going to help them.It won’t work for all people,” he said.He says in four Quebec cities people have set up defence committees to raise money for his lawyer’s fees.Bemardin wrote to Roy after the summons arrived telling him to appear in court last Friday.“Roy responded to the letter a week ago and put a two month delay on the plea date.It’s been moved to Sept.21, MEETING SET Roy and Bemardin are scheduled to meet in Montreal Wednesday to talk about the charge.“I want to establish a liason with the people doing massage therapy and the doctors,” said Bemardin.Roy said he would not comment on the charge or what he hopes to accomplish at the meeting.“If I lose,” Bemardin concluded, “there are nurses I’ve taught in Rouyn Noranda that are worried.They work with the elderly and with handicapped children.” are points that can help, try “We just say to our clients, ‘these them’.” Quebec doctors aren’t giving a fair shake to other health specialists, says Sherbrooke reflexologist Michael Bemardin.Three dead in head-on crash near Black Lake THETFORD MINES — Three people were killed and four injured in a head-on

nothing like a load of boat people to bring out the worst in Canadians.The recent arrival of 174 illegal refugees on the Nova Scotia coast has brought all too many zenophobics out of the woodwork.Worst of all, these people are using the immigration laws to justify their racism.Last weekend, the premier of Nova Scotia fussed about the injustice of allowing the boat people to apply for refugee status.Like too many other Canadians, Buchanan is apparently worried that allowing illegals a chance to stay will give a signal to the world.Suddenly hordes of people with skin a different color than Buchanan’s will swamp the country’s eastern seaboard.It is unjust, said Buchanan, that these people should take the illegal route to get refugee status.Those who wait in line to enter Canada are being discriminated against.But that is a weak excuse and his words do nothing but stir up more anti-refugee hysteria.It is all fine and well to fume about people taking advantage of Canada’s hospitality — an image it doesn’t deserve.Teaching illegals a lesson may be the right thing to do in comic book justice.But getting tough with the men and one women camping out in a Halifax gym will do more harm to Canada’s image as a haven for the afflicted than stop any deluge of refugees.This country refused to let in a boat load of Jewish refugees during WW II, and so became partly responsible for their eventual deaths in German death camps.Canadians should take care not to let history repeat itself.Too many Canadians are irrationally worried that immigrants are going to either sponge off them — on welfare — or take their jobs.The zenophobia grows as the threat rises.What these people forget though is that except for native Indians and Inuit, we are all immigrants.Some had an even less auspicious beginning than the Sikh boat people.Just because your ancestors arrived from Europe and spoke English or French gives you no special license to this country.It is a sad truth that if the boat people were British, or at least white and not sporting turbans and ceremonial daggers there would be no hub bub.The real issue has been twisted from one of immigration rules to one of race.If there is a two-tiered refugee policy in Canada — one for those who follow the rules and one for those who jump ahead of the line — then there is something wrong with the rules, and with the way First World countries treat political refugees.These people are not driftwood, and national borders are not holy shrines.If we are human at all then at some point global compassion overrides our petty rules and narrow concerns.GRACIE MACDONALD Rodai study causes agony with gov’t OTTAWA (CP) — Four months after the Deschenes report on Nazi war criminals was made public, federal bureaucrats continue to agonize over a companion study of how supposedly prohibited immigrants managed to slip into Canada after the Second W’orld War.The study of post-war immigration policy, prepared by Ottawa researcher Alti Rodai, is said to describe the legal loopholes — and in some cases the conscious decisions by politicians and public servants — that allowed people with suspected Nazi connections to enter the country.Rodal’s research was not made public with the main report in March despite a recommendation by Mr.Justice Jules Deschenes that it be released.Officials from at least five government departments have been examining the study to delete references they believe should remain confidential But they apparently have not consulted either Rodai or Deschenes, and have missed the legal deadline of mid-July that had been set for publication of a censored version under the Access to Information Act.“We’re still in a very difficult consultation process,” Laurie Farrington, an official in the access branch of the Privy Council Office, said in an interview.“It’s a line-by-line, almost a word-by-word type of thing .Believe me it’s the messiest thing that I have seen.” Information Commissioner Inger Hansen has been asked to investigate the delay by The Canadian Press, one of several news organizations seeking access to the study.But Farrington said he hopes the report can be published by the end of July, before Hansen completes her investigation.He denied that officials are trying to protect former civil servants or politicians named in the study.Farrington said the main hitch lies elsewhere, in provisions of the access law and its companion legislation, the Privacy Act, that forbid the release of any information that could identify suspects who have not been dead for 20 years.Rodai said in an interview that the study names only one suspect.There may be clues to the identity of others, but she said she could easily delete the offending references in the same way Deschenes edited his published report to protect the rights of people who have never been charged.NOT CONSULTED “I was never contacted to do this,” she said.Deschenes, in an interview from his Montreal office, said he has not been consulted and is taking no part in the vetting process “I made my recommendations.” he said.“There they are to be read and acted upon the way the government wants.” In his main report, Deschenes urged the government to publish the Rodai study, calling it “an outstanding contribution to the knowledge of this particular question (that) deserves wide distribution.” What are the attitudes of Canadians toward new immigrants and refugees?This is part of a series on The New Canadians.By Linda Drouin MONTREAL (CP) — Are Canadians hard-hearted racists and bigots who want to shut their gates tightly against immigrants and refugees?It might have been easy to draw that conclusion after listening to some of the more vocal reaction following the past year’s waves of East Indian, Turkish and Chilean refugees who appeared to push to the limit Canada’s reputation as a haven for the homeless.However, those who have studied Canadian attitudes or been exposed to them say most Canadians talk tough when they think they’re being duped, but unbend when they’re exposed to the people behind the immigration statistics.Some of that tough talk is evident on radio talk shows across the country when irate callers vent anger and frustration over refugees ignoring regular immigration procedures to get into the country.Last summer, sympathy for 150 Tamils rescued from a lifeboat off the coast of Newfoundland quickly turned to censure when it was learned they had paid thousands of dollars to come from West Germany, not from their native Sri Lanka.SEEKS STATUS And when 174 East Indians landed on the shore of Nova Scotia this July and asked for refugee status, complaints about queue-jumpers were heard again.A flood of more than 2,000 Turks between last September and January prompted the government to slap visa restrictions on visitors from Turkey and several other countries.That was followed by a crack-down on refugee claimants, most from Central or South America, who must now wait outside Canada's borders for a hearing.One episode that made many Canadians fume, says Sid Stevens, the head of Montreal’s Sun Youth aid agency, was a hunger strike by a group of about 20 Chileans in Montreal.They slipped in under the wire before the new restrictions were implemented in February.But their families were caught in transit in Buenos Aires and the Chileans demanded the federal government admit the families as refugees.“What really upset Canadians was not so much the strike as the criticism of the government in the streets and their march on Parliament Hill,” said Stevens.Stevens, a blunt man, takes some of the blame for provoking a backlash against Turkish refugees with his widely reported comments that some were refusing accommodation at a men’s hostel in Montreal and wanted to lodge at a downtown hotel where fellow Turks were sent.DENIES RACISM But Stevens — despite his own outburst at a time when his agency was working non-stop to provide food, clothing and lodging for the refugees — says he doesn’t believe Canadians are anti-immigrant, racist or unwelcoming.“What Canadians don’t like is when people lie and cheat to come here,” he says.“What Canadians dislike is when people come here on a sinking ship, when they come here and have demonstrations on the street or go on a hunger strike or criticize the government.” Today, almost two-thirds of all immigrants come from developing nations in Asia, the West Indies, Africa and Central and South America — a significant change from 30 years ago when almost 90 per cent of immigrants were Europeans.Unlike previous newcomers, today’s immigrants are from countries remarkably different from Canada in terms of climate, language, culture, and economic and social development.This introduces the possibility that it will be Canadians, and not just immigrants, who’ll have to adapt.Studies of attitudes toward immigration have been paradoxical, says Donna Dasko, a pollster with the Toronto-based Environics Research Group Ltd.“Canadians have never been, if you ask them in polls, completely favorable to the idea of immigration,” said Dasko.“On the surface, they tend to oppose it,” even though the country was built on successive waves of immigration — 10 million people since 1900.CONDUCTS POLL In an Environics poll last fall, 70 per cent of those questioned said there was too much immigration into Canada.Immigration levels — currently about 100,000 yearly — are at their lowest since the 1950s.What might at first glance be interpreted as wholesale rejection of immigrants breaks down under close questioning, says Dasko.“When we ask specific questions, like should we allow immigrants who have family members here, the answer is usually yes, and when we ask if we should exclude racial minorities the answer is no.” “At one level there’s a knee-jerk reaction, on the other, (there s the opinion that) immigrants tend to adapt quickly, to become part of the economy and they’re viewed as people who work hard, who contribute.” Canada has never shared the U.S.mythology about the role of immigrants, best expressed on the Statue of Liberty, which challenges the “huddled masses” and “wretched refuse” of other countries to show what they can do in America, says Toronto historian Harold Troper.Canadians have a “different collective understanding of state” and have never placed the same value on new initiative, says Troper, who is with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.Instead, immigrants were welcomed if they could fill a specific economic niche, such as the Chinese workers who built the railroad MOVES SLOWLY Cuban Miguel Sante, a former theatre director in Havana, says he’s encountered little discrimination in the four years he has been in Canada.If he has any complaints, they’re about the snail’s pace of the bureaucracy.“Some people get sick with worry waiting for an answer (to their claim for refugee status) and then they’re told to go back home,” said Sante, now a landed immigrant along with his wife, Nathalie, and their 19-year-old daughter.There’s more talk of backlash than real rejection, says Maria Minna, president of Costi-IIAS, a Toronto-based group originally set up as the Italian Immigrant Aid Service but which now provides a variety of social and health services to all immigrants.“The odd (Canadian) may be upset because he or she is unemployed or a child is unemployed and they’ll say who needs more of this,” she said.“We serve 37,000 clients a year and we haven't had any of that problem at all.“People are not just tolerant but open to the idea of refugees and immigrants.” Even some immigrants have been grumbling about refugees pushing their way in while they abide patiently by the rules to bring family members to Canada.Dr.Pedro Palavicini who, along with his wife and three children, arrived from Chile 14 months ago as a refugee, says the Chilean hunger strike gave “a terribly bad impression.“It was a kind of blackmail.When we come here we have to be humble — we are the ones asking for help.” Letter Withdraw the welcome mat Dear Sir: Concerning the current Sikh “refugee” crisis in Nova Scotia, it should be noted that had the Mulroney government had the resolve to promptly deport the first boatload of bogus Tamil “refugees” back to the Federal Republic of Germany, there would have been no reoccurance.This most recent shipload of so-called “refugees” proves that Canada has a two-tier immigration policy: one for those who follow the rules and wait in line, the other for those who ignore the rules and jump to the head of the line.Why did the latest boatload land in Nova Scotia and not in Maine next door?Because, unlike Canada, the United States has an effective policy to defend its borders and national sovereignty involving the weeding out and deporting of bogus claimants.Will the most recent shipload of so-called “refugees” be screened for Sikh terrorists?Will they receive a chest X-ray for tuberculosis and a blood test for AIDS?One doubts if Mulroney has the resolve to implement even these most basic measures.Toronto is the ultimate destination for most of the “refugee” flotsam and jetsam washing up on Canada’s Atlantic shores.However, Toronto, with its near-zero apartment vacancy rate, overcrowded road and public transit systems, depleted food banks, and jammed hostels and public housing, should be declared a refugee-free zone.Canadian hospitality has been grossly abused.Canada should withdraw the welcome mat No more

right in Summer is traditionally a time for fun and games, particularly on those rainy afternoons when there’s nothing to do except watch the raindrops splatter on the tennis court.Those of us that have an incredible adroitness at card games are never at a loss for entertainment.Someone will undoubtably call out “Anyone for bridge?” They don’t mean “Would anyone like to go down and sit on the bridge over the river?” (of course not you silly person) they mean “Would anyone like a game of bridge?” For those of us who know how to play the game the answer is different from those who don’t.While we can shout back “Yes.love to!” those without the skills needed to play this exciting game must answer “No .dammit!” It is in order to ease this situation and help stamp out swearing I

bridge we sit them down and deal them a hand.As it was only recently I taught two beginners the bridge art the details of the hand are clear in my mind It went something like this: Where the pavement ends *„ JIM LAWRENCE than East and West (the beginners).At this point East suggested that there seemed to be something “fishy” about the deal but I explained that as North and the dealer it was my responsibility to control the play, and besides that what did he know about it.I counted my hand, scored 20 points, and bid “6 no-trump” East asked what that meant and I told him it didn't matter and that he should say “Pass” in a loud clear voice, I then suggested raising the stakes.NORTH (ME) A A KQ J V A KQ J ?10 98 7 6 A 10 98 7 6 WEST EAST A 3 A 6 5 4 2 V - ¥ 65432 ?53 ?4 2 A 5 3 A 4 2 SOUTH

a higher point count South, after counting his hand and giggling, decided there was only one reply to my opening bid and said “7 no-trump " West at this point was fairly upset because he didn’t know what was happening and he'd only been dealt five cards.I explained this was normal for a “West" and that his count was “five" which was not enough to bid.However, if he felt like it.he could was “five" which was not enough to bid.However, if he felt like it, he could say “Double" which was an acceptable reaction.Since he had a void in hearts he should remember to lead something else should the occasion arise.North (me) passed after nodding and smiling to South.East decided to count his cards and announced he had 13 which seemed an unlucky number to him.I agreed that sometimes it can be unlucky yet on other days lucky indeed.South agreed although he was having a difficult time holding the 16 cards he had been dealt.When he asked what he should bid I suggested he say “re double” which he did West stood up and demanded he get more cards but was pacified when I told him he was the “dummy” for the hand and should go to the kitchen and make a large snack and open some beer.Which he did.At this point East realized that he and West had only 18 cards between them while North (me) and South had 34 cards I explained that he had that number because we had made the contract and indeed the 16 extra cards we held were not “face” cards and were really useless under the circumstances.In fact, I offered, if he was going to be such a poor sport about it, both South and I would give all the cards under a value of 10 to them and they could distribute them as they saw fit.East was not amused and upended the bowl of dill flavoured chip dip in the middle of the table Returning from the kitchen West finessed around the back of South’s chair and seeing South’s hand dumped the contents of his snack tray over South s head.South retaliated by using a common bridge convention.a right

practice preventitive medecine By Mario Possamai TORONTO (CP) — Policing Canada’s biggest stock market is a little like being a doctor.“Our basic stance is, we re preventive medicine,” says Neil Winchester, manager of the Toronto Stock Exchange’s market surveillance department — better known on Bay Street as simply surveillance.___ Working in a cramped room, packed with video display terminals, teleprinters and constantly-ringing telephones, Winchester and his four assistants try to head off illegal practices like insider trading.It’s a job with its share of pressures, says Winchester, who was once a stock trader, a background he shares with most surveillance officials.“You’re making decisions that could affect not only thousands of shareholders, but millions of dollars.“These are decisions that you have to live and die with.You’ve got to be right 99.9 per cent of the time or you’re not going to be there.” To keep his finger on the pulse of the market, Winchester uses a computer that monitors the more than 1,500 stocks listed on the exchange.When the price or trading volume of a stock does something unusual — say, jumps unexpectedly — the computer alerts surveillance, which tries to account for the move.“It could be (due to) a large buy order.” says Winchester, an everpresent cigarette nearby.“It could be a large sell order.It could be rumor.It’s when you can’t account for the moves that we start to take action.” INSIDE KNOWLEDGE The overriding concern is that someone could be using information not generally available to profit from stock trades, the practice known as insider trading.“You get a bit of a suspicious nature after a while,” says Winchester.“That’s part of the job.” Wall Street is still reeling from an insider trading scandal that broke last year.And the Ontario Securities Commission has laun- ched a major insider trading probe, although officials say it is not linked to the U.S.problems.Earlier this year, Ontario increased the maximum jail term for anyone convicted of insider trading to two years from one — and boosted the maximum fine from $2,000 to $1 million or three times the profit made, whichever is greater.Only a handful of insider trading cases have been successfully prosecuted in Canada, partly because it’s so hard to detect.“Nothing is really black and white,” says Winchester.“You don’t necessarily just run across an officer or a director of a listed company .doing a major buy program before a major announcement which is very bullish for the company.” The problem, he says, is that unusual trading patterns aren’t necessarily a sign of improper activity.Take a sharp jump in the price of a company’s shares on the eve of a takeover, for example.Winchester says it could just be due to a recommendation by a se- Texaco to pay Pennzoil 4.1 m.NEW YORK ( AP) — Pennzoil Co.has prepared a reorganization plan that would allow Texaco Inc.to pay Pennzoil less than half the $10 billion US which Pennzoil won in a lawsuit, reports published today said.The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal said the plan calls for Texaco to pay Pennzoil $4.1 billion US.The newspapers said Pennzoil would make its proposal known in U.S.Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, where Texaco filed for Chapter 11 protection on April 12.That filing stemmed from a judgment, now valued at $10.3 billion, awarded to Pennzoil after a Houston jury found Texaco had improperly acquired Getty Oil while Getty was engaged in a merger with Pennzoil.Under bankruptcy rules, Texaco has 120 days from the time it filed to submit a reorganization plan and another 60 days to get it approved.Texaco asked the court last week for more time to submit its plan.“We are proposing at Texaco not be granted an extension of that period and that other parties be given their right to propose plans of their own,” Baine Kerr, chairman of Pennzoil’s executive committee, told The Times Sunday.“Let me make it clear that we are not negotiating here,” Kerr added.“We are simply including the plan we would like to file.” PAID IN FULL The Journal quoted a source close to the case as saying all other Texaco creditors would be paid in full under the Pennzoil plan.The plan being considered by Texaco would pay all creditors except Pennzoil, whose claim would be isolated and paid only when the companies’ litigation has been resolved outside Bankruptcy Court, The Journal said.A legal adviser to one of the Texaco creditor committees, who asked not to be identified, told The Times that Pennzoil would ask for $4.1 billion, a reinstatement of all other debt and shareholder approval.Harvey Miller, Texaco’s bankruptcy counsel, said: “For four weeks or more we have been requesting a plan and they have refused to give it to us.I can’t give you an official reaction to the $4.1 billion figure from Texaco, but when that number was floated about earlier it was considered an unreasonable sum.” T’he Journal has quoted sources as saying the company is only willing to settle for less than $1 billion.Ford recalls 20 thousand ambulances WASHINGTON (AP)—The Ford Motor Co.announced the safety recall Friday of up to 20,000 ambulances to correct problems that have resulted in at least two dozen of the vehicles catching fire in Canada and the United States.Of those vehicles, 200 will be recalled in Canada, Ford Canada said.Ford officials said the recall, which was sought for months by auto safety advocates and officials in a number of states, is expected to take up to two months to complete and affects ambulances that have been converted using the chassis of 1983-87 Ford E-350 vans.The action follows the filing of a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on behalf of the attorneys general of six states asking for a formal safety recall of the ambulances.Ford provides chassis for about 90 per cent of the ambulances used in the U.S., company officials said.The problem with the converted vans stems from overheating and overpressurization of fuel in the gasoline tank, which has caused fuel to spurt from the tank, resulting in at least 24 fires and five injuries.There was one incident reported in Canada, when an ambulance caugt fire in Cranbrook, B.C., last year.There were no injuries.The recall does not cover the thousands of similar Ford vans used for purposes other than ambulances.Helen Petrauskas, Ford’s vice- president for safety engineering, said there is no evidence that the fuel overheating problem is significant among vehicles other than ambulances, although she said Ford engineers are “looking very vigorously” at the performance of the vans.Last month the company asked ambulance users to bring their vehicles in to dealers to make the needed changes, but critics said a formal recall was needed to get widespread compliance.Petrauskas said the problem was not Ford’s fault and attributed the fuel overheating to changes made during the conversion of the vans to ambulance use, poor maintenance practices and the use of excessively volatile fuel.Canadian wheat exports second By Darlene Rude In the international battlefield of world wheat markets, Canada seems to be holding its territory like a war-wise general.A report by the London-based International Wheat Council says Canada’s share of the world wheat market is growing faster than any other country’s.It says Canadian sales in the year ending June 30 accounted for almost 24 per cent of world wheat exports, a four-per-cent increase over last year, putting Canada second only to the United States, the world's largest wheat exporter.“It’s an intensely competitive market out there,” said George Brinkman, an agriculture economist at Ontario’s University of Guelph.“I’d call it combat instead of competition.” The export figure might come as a flash of good news for Canadian farmers caught in the cross-fire of an agricultural trade war between the United States and the European Community that has driven grain prices to a 15-year low.But some analysts consider the jump in Canadian wheat exports only a token victory.QUESTIONS PRICE “We re pushing a lot of wheat, but I guess the big question is at what price,” said Carol Natchi-gall, an analyst with the Manitoba Agriculture Department.The Canadian Wheat Board, which markets Prairie wheat, oat and barley overseas, is predicting a down-to-the-wire race to break the record 31 million tonnes of grain sold in 1983-84.With two weeks remaining in the Canadian crop year which ends July 31 — one month later than the International Wheat Council’s — the board had sold 28.5 million tonnes, up from 21.5 million tonnes in the same period last year.So far there’s no indication of prices being received or how many dollars it will mean in the pockets of the 140,000 Prairie farmers.“We’re remaining competitive with the other exporters,” said board spokesman Pat Keena.She said the wheat council report didn’t stress the fact that Canada harvested a record 51 million tonnes of grain last year.“No doubt, in this crop year, our market share might have gone up, but it may not be as significant as four per cent,” she said.“We would increase our wheat exports to a point, but probably a lot of it was feed wheat used as livestock rations,” not the premium-quality kind used to make bread, Keena said.NOT EXPANDING Daryl Kraft, an agriculture professor at the University of Manitoba, said the statistics suggest Canada is maintaining its traditional customers but not expanding in a declining market.Droughts in 1984 and 1985 that shrivelled Prairie crops didn’t leave Canada with enough wheat to make a signficant new dent in world markets, he said.“It doesn’t surprise me at all that our world wheat share might be at a five-year high,” Kraft said.“I guess that’s a feat in itself.” The wheat council report indi- cates Canadian wheat sales have increased to the Soviet Union, China and Korea, but have dropped to Japan, Egypt and Brazil.The United States has pushed its market share to 30 per cent from 28.The European Community’s share dropped very slightly to 17.2 per cent.The report notes that export subsidy programs have created a volatile market and disrupted traditional export patterns.“I don’t think 24 per cent is a trend,” said Kraft, although he believes the high quality of Canadian wheat will give it an edge in the battle for markets.“Whether that can be maintained, I’m skeptical.” curities analyst.“Someone may have done some homework and figured that the stock is worth more than where it’s trading.” Other times, however, “you just run up against a brick wall.Things that appear obvious are not always as obvious as they look.“It happens a lot where we do our investigation and we say, ‘Yes, it did look very suspicious,’ but there’s nothing we can really hang our hat on as far as turning something meaty over to the (commission) for further action.” On the whole, concludes Winchester, there isn’t a great deal of insider trading in Canada.For one thing, Canada doesn’t have the large risk arbitrage funds that are a hallmark of the Wall Street scandals.These funds try to build up inventories of shares of companies that could be potential takeover targets.U.S.investigators uncovered several instances of arbitrageurs, most notably Ivan Boesky, profiting from tips about impending takeovers.Boesky, once Wall Street’s ho-test stock speculator, paid a record $100 million US in fines for buying insider information."We don't see that much here," says Winchester.“I'm not saying there isn't insider trading from time to time.There very well might be.but I don’t think it’s near as prevalent as in other markets.” The key to avoiding such abuses, suggests Winchester, is preventive action — ensuring that all investors have access to the same basic information.But maintaining that principle isn’t always easy in an industry where rumors are an unavoidable part of daily life.WILD RUMORS Winchester points to what happened in Calgary at the height of the oil boom: “Two people would be having lunch and all of a sudden there'd be a rumor of a takeover bid." If a rumor is having a significant impact on a stock, surveillance phones the company, asking that it issue a statement either denying the rumor or clarifying the situation.“There are times when these calls do result in a company is- suing a statement .which could have an effect on the price of the shares." Winchester can halt the trading of a particular stock to allow this kind of information to be disseminated.“We don't like to halt trading.The best scenario is to have everyone trade, but we want to make sure that the information is out there.” To further dampen the potential impact of rumors, Winchester asks companies to let him know — confidentially — if they’re negotiating a big deal._________ The longer that talks continue “and the closer it gets to fruition, the more people become involved.You've got lawyers on both sides, employees from both sides.There’s more and more chance that someone may get wind of it.” The stock is monitored until the deal is aborted or completed.“There are days,” Winchester says, "when you come out of there (the office) and you’re dead beat.” The trick is "you’ve got to be able to walk away at the end of the day and forget about it." Thai gem industry in tough position By Siriporn Buranaphan BANGKOK (Reuter) — The Thai gem industry could fall victim to its own brilliant export success as demand for jewels from Bangkok outstrips the number of cutters and rough stones needed to produce them.Sales of gems and jewelry abroad have doubled since 1984 while cutters, many toiling in cramped rooms behind glittering shops, have hired almost no apprentices to carry on the craft, gem dealers say.The cutters, who turn rough stones into fine jewels for one-tenth of the cost of such work in Western countries, will probably soon start demanding higher wages, they say.Their sapphires and rubies should also go up in price as dealers import more from Australia and Sri Lanka to make up for dwindling supplies from neighboring Burma and Cambodia.At the receiving end, the United States — the biggest market, for Thai gems — has reacted to the boom by imposing a 6.5 per cent duty on Thailand’s glittering exports, many of which were once duty-free.The industry’s prospects are as worrying for the Thai government as they are for the dealers.The gem industry has shot up to fifth place on the country’s list of export earners.EXPANDS FAST “We have expanded too fast,” said Pornsit Sriorthaikul, vice president of the Thai Gems and Jewelry Traders Association.“The boom in the industry during the past two years may be harmful to its future,” he told journalists.“If we continue at this pace, we will not be able to train enough gem cutters and this will lead to higher wage demands and raise production costs.” According to government figures, Thai gems and jewelry exports are expected to double to $558 million this year from $288 million in 1984.Despite the boom, the number of cutters has stagnated at about 50,000, according to a gem expert.Earning between $80 and $400 a month, their cheap labor and advanced skills have made Bangkok as important a centre for colored stones as Antwerp, Tel Aviv and New York are for diamonds.Thailand became a centre for the gem industry in the 1960s after Burma’s socialist government suffocated the trade by nationalizing its mines, said a leading American jewelry expert.“There were only a handful of gem traders in Thailand at the time,” said Richard Hughes of Oes — for a reliable water supply and trouble-free water system • Free estimate • Guaranteed 5 years • Water analysis & treatment Bangkok’s Asian Institute of Ge-mological Sciences.KILLS MARKET In Cambodia, the bloody reign of the Khmer Rouge and the guerrilla war that followed their 1979 overthrow by Vietnam have effectively wiped out the only other competition the Thai gem industry had in the region.The heavy hand of bureaucracy in India and Sri Lanka, the traditio nal ruby and sapphire centres, also prompted foreign traders to move their operations to Bangkok.In the late 1970s, Bangkok’s growing gem industry received another boost from the discovery of a heat treatment process which turned dull Sri Lankan sapphires, known as “geudas”, (pebbles) into gem-quality stones.“Thailand has now become the most important sapphire and ruby centre in the world,” Hughes said.Business briefs TORONTO (CP) — Canada Trustee's net earnings climbed 67 per cent to $93.1 million in the first half of 1987 compared to the same period a year ago.Chairman Merv Lahn said it was a shortage of acceptable preferred share issues — not proposed income tax changes that resulted in the big jump in income tax.The federal government has criticized financial institutions for not paying their fair share of taxes.But in the first half of 1987, Canada’s largest trust company paid $33.07 million in taxes compared to just $1.15 million for the first half of 1986.“A significant amount of our income does come from tax-exempt securities such as preference shares but we did not increase our preference shares in the year to date, consequently more of the income is fully taxable,” Lahn said.He said the tax reform proposals should not make a drastic difference to Canada Trust.“The amount we hold of preference shares is probably a lot smaller than most other institutions so it’s not a big deal,” he
