Yip said the men were bogus refugees who originated in Canton and made their way to Hong Kong, where they obtained false travel documents allowing them to come to Canada.Once here, they des- troyed the documents and asked for refugee status, he said They are known in Hong Kong as the members of the Big Circle Yip said the name is derived from the map of China's Kwangtung pro vince.which shows small dots for all the minor towns but a large circle for the capital.Canton He said the men are likely exsoldiers because they are all in their late 20s and early 30s, and were likely involved in the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s.He said six of the group were suspected of holding up a Chinese New Year s pprty at the Canadian Fishermen Workers’ Association earlier this year.Two men have been charged so far.Mapping myth comes true Ryan disagrees Accord may weaken English rights — Orr QUEBEC (CP) — Education Minister Claude Ryan said Wednesday he doesn’t believe the Meech Lake accord threatens the linguistic rights of Quebec anglophones.Promised more than 10 years ago, the Sherbrooke Institute of cartography is now a reality, Sherbrooke MP and Youth Minister Jean Charest announced KI.COKIH HARI.hS BI K'l Wednesday.He was presented with a symbolic globe by some of its new employees.Read the whole story on Page 3.Royal Orr, the president of anglophone rights lobby group Alliance Quebec, told a joint Senate Trudeau will talk on accord OTTAWA (CP) — Former prime minister Pierre Trudeau has notified the joint Commons Senate committee holding hearings on the Meech Lake constitutional accord that he would like to appear as a witness, committee co-chairman Chris Speyer said Wednesday.The former Liberal prime minister, who has been highly critical of the accord, had been asked to appear as a witness but a spokesman in his Montreal law office said in early August he would not be submitting a brief to the committee and an appearance before MPs and senators was not on his schedule at that time.Trudeau has charged that the changes to the Constitution contai ned in the Meech Lake accord will weaken federal powers by giving too much power to the provinces and could lead to the beginning of the end for Confederation.“He has indicated an intention that he wished to appear and we’re attempting to work out a satisfactory time,” Speyer said in a telephone interview.Speyer said he had received a letter from Trudeau late Wednesday afternoon.Commons committee looking into the Meech Lake constitutional accord earlier this week that the deal could weaken the rights of linguistic minorities in Quebec.“I believe they are interpreting the Meech Lake accord in a spirit of excessive worry’,” said Ryan, on his way to a cabinet meeting.Orr said the Meech Lake accord should call on all provinces to promote, not just preserve (as it now reads) linguistic minorités “If Alliance Quebec finds that certain laws are poorly applied, they have to let us know,” said Ryan.“But as far as education is concerned, I don't think they have much to complain about because the rights of anglophones are respected.” n Royal Orr Stop trafficking in human flesh — Weiner Proposed jailing powers won’t necessarily be enforced OTTAWA (CP) — The government won't necessarily use the broad powers contained in its bill on illegal immigrants, junior immigration minister Gerry Weiner said Wednesday.“ We will do it if we must — if and when asituation warrantsit,” Weiner told the Commons.“But we will deter abuse and that is what is clear to all Canadians.” The minister noted that Bill C-84 gives the government power to fine and jail those who help illegal immigrants enter Canada, to turn ships suspected of carrying illegal immigrants away from Canadian waters, and to ask airlines to collect the travel documents of passengers en route to Canada.But the law doesn’t say the government must exercise those powers, he said.Weiner said the government will put a stop to “the profiteering, the trafficking in human flesh — we have no sympathy for that.” But the opposition continued its attacks on the bill, w'hich they say will endanger genuine refugees and make criminals of Canadians who help them.Pagé expects colored margarine law to boost butter sales by 10 per cent Penny MacRae QUEBEC (CP) — The provincial cabinet overrode protests by margarine manufacturers and passed an order-in-council Wednesday banning butter-colored margarine in Quebec, effective Oct.21.The new rule — backed by threat of licence suspension — would assist Quebec’s dairy industry and help consumers distinguish between margarine and butter, said Agriculture Minister Michel Page.“We are trying to protect a market that is very important.” Page told a news conference “In roads by margarine manufacturers into the butter market have been fairly severe.” Sixty-one per cent of Quebecers now use margarine instead of butter, Page said.He said he hoped the government decision would produce a 10 per cent shift in buying habits, in favor of butter.Ontario is the only other Canadian province where butter-colored margarine is outlawed.Under the regulation, margarine manufacturers would have a choice of coloring their product a darker or lighter hue than butter.DENOUNCE MOVE Quebec margarine manufacturers, who had said earlier they would abide by any changes to the law, immediately denounced the move as a giveaway to the dairy-industry.“I can t believe the government would go against the wishes of a majority of consumers just to please a minority of dairy farmers.” said Paul Bouthillier.president of Thibeault Margarine of Trois-Rivieres.Que.In briefs presented to the government earlier, both the Consumers’ Association of Quebec and the Conseil du patronat.Quebec's largest employer group, also condemned the move.The consumers association said it would especially penalize those on low income, forcing them to use a product that looks less appetizing or pay triple the price for butter.The dairy industry, which employs about 30,000Quebec workers, spent $200.000 on a lobbying campaign for the color rule.The margarine industry, which employs about 1.000 producers, packagers and salesmen, has warned the new rule could spark a black market for butter-colored margarine, similar to one that exists in Ontario.The association, which collected nearly 41,000 names for a petition opposing the move, said it had not calculated job losses from the government move, but estimated it would be far more than the dozen predicted by the government That bill is now being studied by a committee of MPs while a second immigration bill introduced this spring is being debated in the Commons.The second piece of legislation, C-55, aims to reform the system that people go through when they claim to be refugees.It too is receiving heavy going at the hands of the opposition.Bill C-84, introduced last week when the Commons was recalled, allows airline staff to collect travel documents from passengers.POSES DANGER Toronto Liberal MP Roland de Corneille said that provision forces flight attendants to assume the responsibility of trained immigration officers.He also said such a law could endanger pasengers during a highjacking.“If carrier staff have all passports and hijackers happen to identify a particular nationality such as Jewish or Israeli, where does the crew stand in this — what is the crew’s role in terms of the safety of the passengers with this kind of a law in force’’” Weiner said the collection is not mandatory but could be helpful if officials are suspicious of some passengers.He added that cooperation between the government and airlines is excellent.Of 6.900 falsely documented passengers last year.1.300 were discovered by airline staff abroad before flying to Canada The rate should be even higher this year, he said.The Canadian section of Amnesty International and the Canadian Jewish Congress added their criticisms late Wednesday with both groups calling for significant amendments to the bill.Michael Schelew of Amnesty International said the legislation contains measures which undermine Canada’s obligations to protect genuine refugees.Hess and the tale of a Canadian pitchfork ST.CATHARINES, Ont.(CP) — Rudolf Hess is dead but the legend of the pitchfork from St.Catharines used in his capture lives on.“It’s amazing how far the story of the pitchfork has spread,” said Arden Phair, curator of the St.Catharines Historical Museum, where the illustrious implement has rested since 1965.The fork is now in the museum’s reserve collection, but Phair said it is “certainly a possibility” it will be put on display in light of the convicted Nazi war criminal’s death Monday, at age 93.The events that brought together Hess, Scotland and St.Catharines began in May 1941 when Hess, then a top official in Hitler's Thid Reich, landed by pa-rachute in a farmer’s field southwest of Glasgow.News reports at the time said that Scottish farmer David McLean heard a plane crash late at night and then saw a parachute dropping slowly.He concluded it was a German aviator and raced back to the house in search of a weapon.Finding none, he grabbed his trusty hayfork and headed towards the mysterious parachutist.Hess was a compliant intruder, though, and the would-be weapon retained its unblemished status as a hayfork.SEEKS PEACE?The Nazi leader, who purportedly was on a mission to seek peace with Britain, remained at the McLean household until British military authorities arrived.Hearing of the capture by hayfork.E.E H Wright, vice-president of Welland Vale Manu-factuing Co.in St Catharines, figured it might be one of the various farm implements his company exported all over the world.A company representative in Britain checked it out and, sure enough, it was a Welland Vale fork.The representative bought the fork for about $7.50 and swore an affidavit before a justice of the peace in Glasgow, declaring it was the fork used by McLean in Hess’ capture The fork arrived back at the Welland Vale plant, now the St.Catharines campus of Niagara College, with great fanfare in August 1941.Plant foreman Thomas Shea was given a chance to look at the implement and declared: “Yes, that’s a fork that I made.” A report in the St.Catharines Standard at the time said the fork was a “sombre-looking weapon” with two “business-like” tines at the end.i 2—The RECORD—Thursday, August 20, 1987 Phoney hostage-taking, 24-hour manhunt results in two arrests By Felicity Munn MONTREAL (CP) — Police arrested two men early yesterday after a 24-hour manhunt that involved a phoney hostage-taking, a car chase through three suburbs and a string of stolen cars, including a police cruiser.One of the men was hit in the neck by a bullet when St-Hubert police finally apprehended the two in an apartment in the south-shore suburb at 6:35 a.m.yesterday.Insp.Vincent Ardizzone of St-Hubert police said the wounded suspect was in stable condition in hospital, while the other man was in custody.Ardizzone said the two were to be charged today in nearby Lon-gueuil, but could not say what the charges would be since the manhunt involved incidents — and therefore separate police forces — in Montreal and the suburbs of St-Hubert, Longueuil and St-Lambert on the south shore across the St.Lawrence River from Montreal.The affair began at 2 a m.Tuesday when a woman was shot in the abdomen by a man from an adjacent apartment in a building on St- Hubert Street in Montreal, Montreal police Const.Bruno Vaiilan-court said.Sylvie Talbot, 28, managed to crawl down the corridor and telephone police from a neighbor’s.She was reported to be in serious condition today in hospital.Police surrounded the building and the gunman reacted by emerging from it holding a gun to another man’s head.“He was threatening to kill him," Vaillancourt said.FEARED GUNFIRE Believing they had an actual hos-tage-taking on their hands and anxious to avoid more shooting, Vaillancourt said, police agreed to the gunman’s demand that he and his “hostage” be allowed to leave in a police cruiser.The gunman and hostage, who drove the cruiser, sped off with police following at a safe distance.On the south shore the two stopped a taxi, ordered the driver and his two passengers to get out and drove on.The taxi driver told police moments later that both men had been armed and “appeared to be friends,” and police decided they were seeking not a hostage- taker and his victim, but two armed men who were considered dangerous.Four kilometres further on, police say, the suspects stole another car.Their pursuers lost track of them at 6:45 a.m.after the two commandeered a fourth car.Ardizzone said St-Hubert police got a call early yesterday from a woman in an apartment building who had heard a gunshot and thought the person in the apartment below her was trying to commit suicide.Four officers were dispatched to the building.Ardizzone said.Two of them knocked on the apartment door while the other two waited on the stairs.“The door opened and (a mam was there with a gun, so the two policemen near the door threw themselves down on the ground.He aimed his gun at the other officers waiting below, and one of the officers on the floor took a shot at him.” The second suspect was unarmed and surrendered without a struggle, Ardizzone said.Police found two more guns in the apartment.Cotroni refused bail MONTREAL (CP) — A bail application by Frank Cotroni, once described by the Quebec Police Commission as a Montreal underworld crime boss, was turned down in Quebec Superior Court Wednesday.Cotroni, 56, has been charged along with his son, Francesco, 26, and two other men, with the 1981 slaying of Joseph Montegano in a shooting in a private club in the east end of the city.Mr.Justice Fraser Martin ruled it was not in the public interest to free Cotroni, who has been in custody since his arrest last October when a police informer agreed to testify.The case has not yet gone beyond the preliminary inquiry stage.The younger Cotroni and co-accused Francesco Rasco, 30, both got bail this month.The fourth accused, Daniel Arena, 32, has not applied for bail.Revenge the motive for Cole’s murder?HULL, Que.(CP) — The shooting death of a Hamilton man, whose body was found last week in Gatineau Park north of here, may have been an act of revenge related to his acquittal on manslaughter charges in 1983, police say.William Thomas Cole, 25, was killed by a single gunshot wound to head the same morning he was released from prison for another crime, Quebec Police Force Corp.Claude Seguin said on Tuesday.Cole was acquitted in December 1983 by an Ontario Supreme Court jury in the death of 25-year-old Pierre Cormier.Cormier died Jan.28,1983, from a blow to the back of the head during a party at his residence in Hamilton.During Cole’s trial, the jury was told that both men were involved in a fight which ended when Cormier fell to the floor, striking his head on a table.Thomas Scoccia, Cole’s lawyer for the manslaughter trial, said police provided tight security during the trial.Cole’s body was found by a passerby on Wednesday evening at the foot of a cliff in Gatineau Park.Seguin added that results from a post mortem this week should establish whether Cole was killed in the park or whether his body was dumped there later.Cole was convicted of robbery in 1984 and served his sentence at the Collins Bay penitentiary, near Kingston, Ont.Gar on doesn’t want his office bugged By Penny MacRae QUEBEC (CP) — An Opposition member’s refusal to give up his legislature office during next month’s francophone summit because of fears the RCMP might plant microphones in the walls drew derision Wednesday from House Leader Michel Gratton.“The RCMP has not launched ‘Operation Big Ears’ — it was the Parti Québécois,” Gratton told reporters, a joking reference to an Opposition campaign announced last week to get the views of Quebecers on economic and social issues.Garon said Tuesday he would not lend his office for the use of visiting dignitaries during the Sep*.2-4 summit, expressing concern the RCMP might install listening devices.“The people of my riding have the right to consult me in my office knowing that their conversations with me will remain private," said Garon, a hardline independence supporter known for his fiery speeches.PQ spokesman Daniel Zizian said the party has asked summit organizers to drop their demand for use of Garon’s office, noting it now appeared only about 40 of the 122 legislature members’ offices would be needed.Garon said Wednesday that summit organizers had repeated their request he give up his office, pro- mising him it would be used as a prayer room for summit delegates who are Moslems.ATTEND SUMMIT Heads of state or their represen-tatives from 41 governments around the world are to attend the summit to promote co-operation among countries using French as a first or second language.Summit spokesman Guy Simard was unable to confirm that Garon’s office was needed for a prayer room.He noted, however, that legislature members voted unanimously last April in favor of allowing the legislature building to be used for the summit.But Garon, the only legislature member to reject the summit’s request, said the resolution adopted did not mention that legislature members would have to give up their offices.Simard would not say whether Garon would be forced to give up his office but expressed confidence that “Mr.Garon will co-operate with everybody.” An RCMP official, Michel Robert.refused to comment on Garon’s fears, but said that under a federal-provincial agreement, the RCMP’s task was only to protect visiting dignitaries during the summit.The Quebec provincial police was responsible for assuring security of the actual legislature building.Robert said.1_____tel ftCBcara Q«org«

MONTREAL (CP) — One week after Montreal police threatened pressure tactics in an attempt to prod contract negotiations, the police union president recommended acceptance Wednesday of a two-year contract with a four per cent wage increase in its first year.Louis Simard, president of the Montreal police brotherhood, said the city also agreed to stop hiring part-time officers and to drop the residency requirement for officers.Under the tentative contract, police will receive a four per cent wage increase this year with wage negotiations reopening next year for the 1988 raise, Simard said, adding that other contract provisions will be frozen for two years.Police will attend information meetings on the contract next Tuesday with voting scheduled for Wednesday.Mulroney: Women won’t lose OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney indicated Wednesday he believes women’s groups and others who fear the Meech Lake constitutional accord threatens their rights are using a Trojan horse to try to torpedo the recognition of Quebec as a distinct society.“You can be certain that there is nothing in the Meech Lake accord that diminishes in any way the rights of women or anyone else,” he told reporters on his way into the weekly Conservative caucus meeting.Mulroney then quoted Montreal columnist Ly-siane Gagnon, saying that in her view, “a lot of people are using that as a Trojan horse, not because they’re trying to protect women’s rights, but because they don’t want a distinct society and the Meech Lake accord.” Incomplete checks done ROMULUS, Mich.(AP) — Flight recorders from Northwest Airlines Flight 255 indicate the pilots did not deploy the wing flaps and didn’t complete a preflight check that includes setting them, federal investigators said Wednesday.The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 crashed shortly after takeoff Sunday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, killing up to 158 people.The only survivor, a four-year-old girl, remained in serious condition in hospital.The plane was equipped with a warning tone that should have sounded if any of several critical pilot actions were not performed during takeoff, including adjustments to the plane's flaps, spoiler and stabilizer settings.John Lauber of the National Transportation Safety Board said there was no indication on the cockpit recorder that the tone sounded.But the voice recorder did not show that the crew checked the position of the flaps and slats, Lauber said.Treasure hunters hit jewels PARIS (AP) — A leather satchel containing a fortune in jewels was scooped up early today by treasure hunters salvaging objects from the doomed luxury liner Titanic, the expedition leader said.The valise, which did not have an identity tag, contained jewels, bank notes and coins, Robert Chappaz said.In a statement released in Paris before early today, Chappaz said the valise was not in good condition.However, the existence of the leather case indicated that some organic material still remained intact 75 years after the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank during its maiden voyage on April 14-15, 1912.No other details on its contents were provided, but Chappaz repeated the expedition’s claim that none of the artifacts would be sold to private individuals.Demjanjuk suffers another blow JERUSALEM ( AP) — The defence in the war-crimes trial of John Demjanjuk suffered a second major blow Wednesday when an expert witness retracted testimony that had attempted to discredit a key piece of prosecution evidence.Under tough cross-examination.Anita Pritchard acknowledged she wrongly accused a prosecution expert of manipulating a photograph on a Nazi SS identity card to make it appear to portray Demjanjuk.She also acknowledged she had only a year of training as a psychologist from a correspondence course at the University of Columbia Pacific in San Rafael, Calif., where she is a doctoral student in psychology.The university is not an accredited institution.Ambassador questions sanctions JOHANNESBURG(AP) —The U.S.ambassador to South Africa questioned the effectiveness of U.S.sanctions against that country Wednesday and urged western countries to “proceed with sensitivity.” Edward Perkins, the first black U.S.ambassador to South Africa, said in a speech: “Apartheid will be eliminated in South Africa.” He added, however, economic sanctions and other pressure applied by western governments may serve to prevent rather than promote changes in apartheid.Western countries must “forcefully advocate a society which is democratic, pluralistic and economically viable, but which is determined by South Africans,” Perkins told the South African Executive Women’s Club.Kurds guerrillas raid village ANKARA (AP) — Guerrillas fighting for an independent Kurdish homeland killed 25 people in a raid on an eastern Turkish village, more than half of them children, according to news reports Wednesday.The semi-official Turkish news agency Anatolia quoted Interior Minister Yildirim Akbulut as saying security forces were searching the area by foot and helicopter.Anatolia said Akbulut and the regional governor, Hayri Kozakcioglu, flew to the scene It reported that about 80 Kurds surrounded Rebzthe, more than UOO kilometres southeast of Ankara, shortly before midnight Tuesday night and shot three guards dead.They sprayed homes with automatic weapons fire, hurled grenades and splashed gasoline to start fires, the report said, adding that nine of the victims burned to death.The news agency said Besir Narin lost a baby daughter and five other members of his family.It quoted him assaying: “This is total savagery.The smell of burned flesh is still in the air.” Martin to join politics MONTREAL (CP) — Paul Martin Jr., president of CSL Group Inc.of Montreal and whose father was a longtime Liberal cabinet minister, says he plans to enter politics and run in the ne\t federal election.The move has been planned for months, says Martin who has spent the last year grooming a successor to run the Canada Steamship Lines Inc.business empire he took over in 1981 with a $180-million loan.In an interview published today by The Montreal Gazette, Martin confirmed he set up a transition process at the firm and will seek the Liberal nomination in LaSalle, now held by Tory Claude Lanthier.Oerlikon decision coming MONTREAL (CP) — The Quebec Justice Department will decide within 10 days whether charges will be laid as result of a land flip involving property slated for a factory in the riding of former cabinet minister Andre Bissonnette, La Presse reported today.The results of the investigation into the flip are in the hands of Remi Bouchard, deputy minister of justice, and he will likely make a deci- ! sion next week, said Carole Richard, an aide to Justice Minister Herbert Marx.The newspaper also reported that the RCMP will ask Quebec Superior Court next Tuesday for a three-month extension of the August deadline for returning the documents in the case.The investigation began in January after the Montreal Gazette reported that the price of farmland in Bissonnette’s riding had tripled from about $800,000 in the space of 11 days before it was acquired for $3 million by Oerlikon Aerospace Inc.in January 1986.Railway workers walk the line MONTREAL (CP) — Union leaders mulled over new contract offers from the two national railways Wednesday as they tried to stop wildcat walkouts by some of their 48,000 members from mushrooming into a premature, general strike.The unions, in a legal strike position since Tuesday, appealed to the workers to stay on the job—for now — but were ignored by hundreds in Montreal and Toronto who stayed away from work for a second day in a row.Only 200 of 1,300 day-shift workers at Canadian National Railways’ huge Pointe-St-Charles shops in Montreal reported for duty.Workers picketed two CN yards in Montreal as well as the main CN yards in Toronto.CP Rail wasn’t touched by the walkouts.“At this time, we need to have all of our members working — please return to your job immediately,” chief negotiator Armand Passaretti for the Associated Railway Unions said in a statement to the strikers.Just over half the evening shift showed up at Pointe-St-Charles.Lewis does two step OTTAWA (CP) —United Nations Ambassador Stephen Lewis's description of the government’s refugee bill as tough but fair left the government glowing Wednesday, raised NDP eyebrows and caused Lewis to discuss the issue with reporters again after a former aide said they had misinterpreted his remarks.Lewis, Canada's ambassador to the UN, told a news conference Tuesday that every western country has refugee legislation every bit as tough as the controversial bill now before the Commons.The former leader of the NDP in Ontario, named to the UN post in 1984 by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, seemed to some reporters to be endorsing the legislation.Postmistress gets heavies support OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said today it is regrettable that English-speaking residents of Salisbury, N.B., have united to try to block the appointment of a francophone as the town’s postmistress.“I haven’t read all of the facts surrounding the issue but obviously any time there are signs of racial or linguistic division I find that regrettable,” he said, responding to reporters’ questions on the way into the weekly Conservative caucus meeting.“These are things that ought not to occur.” Mulroney attacks Grits OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney accused the Liberal Party on Wednesday of inflicting an industrial catastrophe on Quebec by holding up the Conservatives’ controversial drug patent legislation.Killing the bill would scuttle 1,300 new research jobs and $700 million in investment in pharmaceutical research and development in the Montreal area, he told Liberal MP Andre Ouellet in the Commons.“And I say to you that the Liberal Party is inflicting a type of industrial catastrophe on Montreal .” Others gave Contras aid NEW YORK (Reuter) — Senior Reagan administration officials approved a plan three years ago for South Africa to pay for training and equipment for Nicaraguan Contra rebels, the New York Times said today.The paper quoted government officials as saying that U.S.State Secretary George Shultz and the late CIA director William Casey were among those who approved the plan.The plan was dropped after controversy erupted in Congress over the CIA-backed mining of Nicaraguan harbors, the newspaper said.The Iran scandal congressional hearings in Washington heard testimony that foreign countries provided aid for the Contras after Congress banned U.S.assistance.Iran advises U.S.about hostages NEW YORK (AP) — The speaker of the Iranian parliament says foreign hostages held in Lebanon might be released if the United States exerts pressure on Israel and Kuwait to release Shiite Moslem prisoners.Hashemi Rafsanjani, in an interview conducted on Wedneday but to be aired today on NBC’s Today show, said Iran could not guarantee such a swap.Rafsanjani denied that the government of Iran controls the groups holding 24 foreigners, including eight Americans, hostage in Lebanon.Speaking in English, Rafsanjani said Iran did not condone hostage taking.Spermicides not linked to defects BOSTON ( AP) — Two new studies have turned up no evidence that spermicides cause birth defects, and researchers say the findings should relieve lingering doubts about the safety of this form of birth control.Some earlier research suggested women have an increased risk of producing defective babies if they use spermicidal foams and jellies around the time of conception or during pregnancy.The researchers from the new studies said the results are important because many women are concerned about the potential hazards of spermicides.The studies looked for links between spermicides and five different categories of birth defect.They found no sign that spermicides could cause any of these problems.Weather Sunny with a few scattered clouds for today w ith a high of 22.Low tonight 8.Friday’s outlook, sunny, and a high of 25.Doonesbury YOU CANT IMAGINE HOW

NOT ENOUGH TIME This didn’t allow enough time for the complex procedure of opening the work to public tenders, choosing a contractor to do the work, and actually getting the work done.The school committee outlined a dozen different solutions they had considered for accomodating the children, and then presented their recommendation.They had looked at space in local private schools, the CEGEP, the Castel Hotel, adult education centres, the Golden Age Club, a ’creation centre and a couple of empty factories.Nowhere were there the necessary 14 classrooms to be had, and many of the spaces were inappropriate for elementary school children, said Parkview principal Kevin Ratcliffe.They had also considered bringing in portable classrooms, he said, but it would have taken too long to get them moved in, hooked up for electricity and so on.The options were narrowed down to bussing the children to Waterloo school, where nine classrooms are available, or putting some of the kids in a section of the Parkview school partitioned off from the construction work and the rest in the empty SPEA plant on Cowie St.LOSE AN HOUR “The problem with Waterloo School is we’d lose about an hour a day in travel time for the youngsters going over there,” said Ratcliffe.The school committee visited both the Waterloo School and the SPEA plant and decided SPEA was the better idea.“It’s a modern facility, much more modern than this school will be even when it’s finished," said Ratcliffe.“It’s air conditioned, that kind of thing; it’s got a large area that can serve as a play area ; it’s got some limited lunchroom space.” The only problem is that there aren’t quite enough washrooms, he said, but the school board hopes to get some money from the Ministry in factory until Parkview renovations Parents of Parkview Elementary School students committee's recommendation to hold half the gave their support, by a show of hands, to the school school's classes in an empty factory until December.in factory until Parkview renovations f** -m > »• ¦ VVÏ * ¦>§ of Education to do a few renovations.“The physical plant to us, as far as we’re concerned, is great,” said Roger Robitaille, chairman of the Parkview school committee.“As far as we’re concerned this was the best bet.We wanted to keep the kids here in Granby and to a certain extent it would be cheaper than going to Waterloo.' Holding classes in the SPEA building will cost the school about $20,000 in rent, $10,000 to $15,000 to renovate and perhaps $5,000 to $10.000 for transport, said Bissell.“We hope to escape for about $45,000,” he said.GAVE BEST WISHES When a parent asked if the Ministry of Education had offered anything to help solve the problems caused by its delays, Bissell answered, “Their best wishes on finding a solution.” Uhtil after Christmas, grades three to secondary I will have a 10-minute bus ride after they arrive at Parkview to get to the SPEA building.Kindergarten, grade one, grade two and a mixed grade two and three class will remain in the Parkview building.Although the parents agreed the SPEA plant was the best solution, they had plenty of concerns to address at the meeting.Some wanted to know why English-speaking parents were being asked to make a decision on such short notice, when parents of the French-speaking children originally scheduled to move into Park-view were able to find alternative space a month and a half ago.The French-speaking kids will have their classes in a building on Industrial Boulevard belonging to the Barcana company.Bissell said their situation was different.Because of their overcrowded school, they had to find space for the children whether or not the renovation project at Park view went ahead The Protestant school board couldn't know it would need space until it knew for sure the project would go ahead, and final word on that wasn’t received until Aug.5.WORRIED ABOUT CUTS One parent wondered if educational programs and other serv ices would be cut to help pay for the use of the SPEA plant Bissell said the school would not be losing money; it would only save less than the $50,000 a year it expects to save by having the French children move into the school.“It will not result in the cutting of programs,” he said.“We ll still be ahead of the game — a little.” Another parent wanted to know if there would be dust in the air at the Parkview school, which would be hazardous to an asthmatic High-tech centre to perform research, make maps for eastern Canada are complete child.Bissell said the noisiest and dus (test work would be done before the children return to school, and even then the classroom areas would be thoroughly partitioned off from the construction The contractor would make sure the part of the school still in use would remain free of dust.because if not.it would be his responsibility to clean it up Others were worried about where the children would go if there were a construction strike, delaying the completion of the project beyond the end of the year.“1 just want to be sure that you won’t tell me in January that my kid will go to Waterloo.” said one man.Ratcliffe said this would be discussed today among the school board members and the owners of the SPEA building.Bissell and Ratcliffe both said they were pleased that the parents had decided to support the school committee’s decision to use the SPEA building."We’re going to have a difficult three months, that 's for sure." said Ratcliffe.“but we'll have to think of what we ll have in six months." “It will be a first-class facility in the long run."

Mandigo said.The volunteer rescue unit is "a very worthwhile plan.' she added Although emergency equipment could not have saved her son, the family wanted to help honor his memory while at the same time raise money for equipment that might save other lives.“If some day he could help someone somewhere down the line." she said, “then it will be a good thing.” new window' on the world,” he said.The hundred jobs are mostly professional and the institute will “add to Sherbrooke’s growing reputation as a centre for high-technology research and development.” Perron said the institute will recruit 59 new mapping and computer experts for its staff.He said each would have at least one university degree, probably two “and as much as possible, three degrees.” "We’re looking for la crème de la crème on the job market,” Perron said, adding that surveyors, physicists, geographers and computer specialists will be needed.The government will spend about $12 million to equip the institute and its yearly payroll will be about $3.5 million.The institute will be housed in rented offices, saving the gover- Jean Charest.the world.’ nment the capital cost of constructing a building, Charest said.Reaction to the announcement was predictable Sherbrooke Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier said he was delighted and added that Wednesday was “a great day for Sherbrooke.” Shefford Liberal MP Jean La-pierre said the project represents “a loss of $88 million and 600 jobs” compared to his party’s alleged original plan.PRIVATIZATION For several months rumors have c irculated that the branch was up for sale to the private sector.Merrithew, who consistently denied the privatization rumors last spring, announced Wednesday the branch has been given new objectives.The new plans will let the mapping branch “plan for its future in an atmosphere of certainty,” Merrithew said in a statement, and al- low it to “move into the technology of the next century with confi dence, knowing it will play a vital role.” While the branch is not for sale, the private sector will play a role in its programs, Merrithew said INCREASE SUPPORT The branch will increase its tech nical support to industry, he said, but the private sector will also be asked to contribute toward the work conducted by the branch In Wednesday’s statement, Merrithew said only that negotiations on the private sector’s involvement are continuing, mainly with the Canadian Association of Aerial Surveyors.But he added he expects an agreement on government and private sector co-operation by this fall.When Merrithew released his new mineral and metal policy last May.he said the government wan- ted to create closer links between industry and many branches of his department.That, he said, would help the branches ensure their work was more closely tailored to industry’s needs It would also involve greater efforts, and some money, from the private sector.He also denied rumors that had been around for several months that the mapping branch was for sale.Reports in March said the Montreal-based engineering firm La valin had offered Ottawa $55 million for the branch.The company refused l o comment on those reports although it confirmed it was interested in purchasing the mapping branch and said it had conducted some preliminary discussions on the possibility with federal officials.The only writing was on the sign!

— Engineers feel pressured to find jobs quickly.Rapid advances in computer technology have graduates worried their training will soon be out of date.Younger engineers feel less secure about their career and think the future is less promising than most members of other professions.Engineers are faced with conflicting responsibilities and loyalties connected with advancing technology, says Callagan.Once considered the heroes of modern construction, engineers now find that their projects are often seen by the public as environmental threats; — University professors feel they have little control over their futures.Callagan says this may be due to increasing university dependence on government for operating funds and research grants and the stress associated with yearly merit, promotion and tenure assessments;

claimed that people who don’t read computer magazines have no idea of the variety of programs being offered.I must also mention that special interest magazines often mention special interest programs.For example, one of the seed companies also offers a computer program for gardeners.A recent issue of Cat Fancy offers a program called Cat-Vet.The best source of information remains computer related magazines.While scouting around for a topic for this weeks column, I found an interesting article in a copy of Canadian Computer Dealer News.A Montreal company called the MIDI Connection, introduced a program a year ago called Tape ’N Step.This is a software package designed for composing, editing, and recording music for MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) instruments.The package can record, playback, or edit in real time or step time modes on a video page.The graphic representation of music shows the notes from left to right on the screen, and the time from top to bottom.Only one of the 16 available channels can be shown on the screen at once.According to Lucien Dube, head of the company, this turns music into a visual thing reminiscent of a player piano, Even if you don’t know music, you can draw the bars, hear them and change them.Musician or not, the user needs a synthesizer patched into their computer.The computer can be controlled from the music

without recording to tape.Users of the package range from those who use it for home entertainment, replacing the home organ, to professionals.Dube has found that computer enthusiasts catch on to the program faster than musicians.“Anyone using a spreadsheet can relate to the program in two-and-a-half minutes.” Dube was surprised to discover a market he had never anticipated; church organizations in the United States.A map on his office wall indicates where his packages are being sold: 'The Bible Belt’ - including North and South Carolina and Louisiana -accounts for a large portion of sales.Canada accounts for only about 15 per cent of The MIDI Connection's sales.About 75 per cent of sales are to the U.S.with Europe making up the balance.Taking a leaf from the Borland Co., the package costs only $150.00 and is not copy protected.Dube admits that he may lose some sales due to the ease of copying the program.He also feels that because of the low cost, most people will prefer to buy a an original version complete with documentation.Le double Quator a Corde Robotiser (‘The Roboticized Double String Quartet’) is a whimsical application of Tape ’N Step and was on display in

trying to bolster declining ridership by offering discount fares and promotions that previously have been the preserve of airlines.Bus lines now offer fare discounts of as much as 60 per cent and provide services such as making hotel and car-rental reservations.Greyhound Lines of Canada Ltd.has reached a tentative agreement to act as a feeder service for Wardair Canada Inc.Gray Coach, a bus line operating mainly in southern Ontario, has installed television sets on some buses to show movies on its longer runs.“The whole bus industry in North America has experienced a decline in ridership,” said Greg Beattie, sales and traffic manager for the Saskatchewan Transportation Co., a Regina-based bus firm.Bruce Tyson, Greyhound vice-president in Calgary, and Ron McLaughlin, manager of planning and business development for Gray Coach in Toronto, agreed ridership has eroded steadily over the last six years.There is a six-per-cent drop in ridership for Gray Coach so far this year over last year, McLaughlin said in a telephone interview.Gray Coach president William Verrier said there is a "much shrunken market” for inter-city bus companies, particularly on runs that last longer than six hours.The decline has been eight per Career cent this year for Greyhound, said Jack Sheneman, Greyhound's vice-president of passenger marketing.PROFIT SLIPS Greyhound, which operates between northwestern Ontario and Vancouver, saw its 1986 profit drop to $14.9 million from $19.1 million a year earlier.Factors in the decline include competition from the automobile and from airlines through cheap fares brought on by deregulation.Several bus company executives said private cars have provided increased competition in recent years because of improved fuel ef-ficiency and falling gasoline prices.The steady decline in ridership has forced bus companies to offer discounts and adopt innovative approaches to get people onto the buses.It's a substantial change in approach for an industry that, as Sheneman says, functioned “almost like a public utility.” “I think the company realizes it can’t depend on a system established over the last 65 years,” said Sheneman.Greyhound’s most recent promotion, called family plan fares, allows a child to travel free with an adult paying full fare.The firm also offers discounts of 25 and 40 per cent on certain trips in Alberta.A tentative deal with Wardair would see Greyhound act as a feeder system for the airline, Sheneman said.An airline passenger in rural Alberta would get a reduced-fare Greyhound ticket to Edmonton or Calgary.the main airline de- parture points, when buying his Wardair ticket.Young people, the elderly and passengers travelling alone now make up the bulk of bus riders, he said.The objective of family plan fares is to make it economically feasible for families to travel by bus.Gray Coach recently offered discounts of up to 60 per cent in a seat sale to mark the firm’s 60th anniversary, McLaughlin said.Another seat sale is planned for November.Verrier believes bus companies must adopt the computerized reservation system that is standard in the airline industry.“It’s crucial for running a proper inter-city service.” It would do away with long lineups in terminals, ensure travellers had a seat before arriving at the station and help companies offer services such as hotel reservations for passengers.But convincing bus lines to install a computerized reservation sy-tem won’t be easy.Verrier said.It costs a lot of money and bus companies are not wealthy now.TORONTO (CP) - Twice a month.Dr.Norman Allan brings the cows at Fraser Mohawk's farm some soothing relief from the daily rat race of barnyard life.Allan, a neurophysiologist turned chiropractor, leaves his clinic in Toronto and puts his hands to work on the joints and muscles of his 700-pound patients.In the process, he becomes a “cow-ropractor.” The reason for Allan’s visits is simple, Mohawk says.The less stress the cows are under, the more inclined they will be to produce milk.Allan, 44.started making the barn calls last year when Mohawk, who owns 11 Jerseys, asked him to help the cows produce more milk."They don’t make milk when they’re unhappy or uncomfortable," says Mohawk, whose 70-hectare farm in Schomberg, about 70 kilometres northwest of Toronto, is open to animal lovers and car-rally enthusiasts.“If they’re hurting or have twisted a foot or any number of things, it can just put them off their milk.They’re not happy about doing it.” STRESS SHOWS Mohawk said he recognizes signs of stress in the animals.They breathe erratically, have poor posture, weary eyes, poor appetite and a frown.Even the consistency of the cow manure can give a wound-up animal away, he says.The therapy relieves stress in the cows, motivating them to increase the quality and quantity of their milk, Mohawk said.Manipulating the muscles and joints of animals is nothing new, says Allan, who has a degree in zoology.For years, people have been using the technique on dogs, horses, cats and sheep, he says.The doctor, who has been treating Toronto patients with joint and muscle ailments for more than a year, has also administered acupuncture to animals suffering SECRETAIRES JURIDIQUES ET OPÉRATRICE DE TRAITEMENT DE TEXTE L’étude MONTY C0UL0MBE regroupe présentement plus de trente avocats et connaît une expansion

lead: ?K A little more insurance By James Jacoby South may have been hallucinating when he jumped to four no-trump asking for aces.There was nothing in North’s bidding to suggest that he had values that would justify a slam contract.But this time South was lucky, since the North cards supported quite a decent play for six hearts.Most overbidders play their cards well (they have to, to avoid going broke), and South was no exception.He won the ace of diamonds and drew trumps.He could see that he had all 13 tricks if the jack of clubs fell under the Q-K-A.If it didn’t, he might need to find either the K-Q of spades or any doubleton spade honor in the East hand.All of those chances improved the probability of the slam succeeding, but declarer wanted even more insurance.And he found it.Instead of playing queen and a club, he led the club nine from his hand and overtook with the 10 in dummy.Naturally East won the jack and returned a diamond.Declarer trumped, overtook the club queen in dummy and was able to discard three losing spades on the good clubs.Although this play sacrificed the best chance for a overtrick, it paid off in today’s layout, and the slam was made.But what if East had allowed the club 10 to win the trick?Declarer can now play a spade to his jack.West will win the queen and try to cash a diamond.South will ruff and play the club queen to the A-K.When the club jack does not fall, South can now try another spade finesse.That wins, and the slam is still made.A new book by James Jacoby and his father, the late Oswald Jacoby, is now available at bookstores.It is “Jacoby on Card Games, ” published by Pharos Books.which some members received that were pink and should have been red.The treasurer, Doris Cascadden gave the bank balance, also
