REJECT CHANGES A few churches have been allowed to celebrate the modern mass in Latin, but this does not satisfy the strict traditionalists, who reject the modifications — including the use of modern languages — introduced by the Second Vatican Council of 1962-1965.Roch said there are several hundred Catholics in Canada who meet regularly to hear Latin mass.Ten of the 120 seminary students at Econe are Canadians, he said A total of 350 students are enrolled in traditionalist seminaries at Econe and in Australia, Argentina, Ger- Have a strawberry or ten vtfM £ llfl ¦'v;4'\vV * wm^ net * w ,

in its schools on the scale of London and Paris unless more is done to help them integrate, the president of the province’s largest teachers’ federation warned Tuesday.The provincial government must give more money to the schools so they can help the newcomers learn French and understand Quebec customs even if it means telling them to renounce parts of their own culture, said Lorraine Page, president of the 100,000-member Centrale de l’enseignement du Quebec, in an interview.“One can’t underestimate the phenomenon because all the big cities which went through such an accelerated immigration, like London and Paris, have racial tensions,” she said.“Quebec has a tradition of openness and welcome but we can’t pretend that we are immune from someone like Jean-Marie Le Pen,” she warned, referring to the leader of the National Front party in France who attacks immigration as the root of many of France’s problems.WILL DEBATE The teachers’ federation will debate the immigration question for the first time during its convention this week attended by 1,000 delegates.The federation mainly represents teachers in French, Roman Catholic schools, the bulk of schools in Quebec.The problem is urgent because immigrants, especially from Third World countries with completely different cultures, are coming in greater and greater numbers, Page said.Most of them settle in Montreal.The proof is in the statistics, she said.The Roman Catholic school system in Montreal serves 100,000 students, of which 20 per cent were of ethnic origin in the early 1980s.Today, that number is up to 35 per cent because Bill 101, the Quebec language law, forces parents to send their children to French schools.By 1992,50 per cent of students in the system will be ethnic, Page said.Canada’s Moscow embassy in limbo OTTAWA (CP) — It may be weeks or even months before the Canadian Embassy in Moscow will know if it will be permanently short of staff, External Affairs officials said Tuesday.Twenty-five of the 39 Soviet citizens assigned to the embassy have not been at work for the last two days.But the Soviet foreign ministry has not presented an official list of positions eliminated, said department spokesman Denys Tessier Nor has the ministry responded to a warning by External Affairs Minister Joe Clark that Soviet workmen could face visa problems in Canada if the dispute in Moscow is not resolved.But the Canadian side is willing to wait to see whether the Soviets relent and let some Moscow staff trickle back to work.‘ ‘Common sense is that this thing will be resolved gradually and slowly, without publicity," said Tessier.The 25 support staff in Moscow and 25 Soviet workmen who have been helping rebuild the fire-damaged Soviet consulate in Montreal are the last remaining pawns in a diplomatic confrontation that started with Canadian allegations of espionage.Canada expelled or barred the return of 19 Soviet diplomats during the dispute while the Soviets retaliated with action against 13 Canadians and the withdrawal of the Moscow staff.many, and the United States.The former Canadian leader of the movement.Rev.Yves Nor-mandin, who travelled throughout the country celebrating the old Latin mass, renounced the crusade and was reconciled with the archbishop of Montreal following the Pope's visit to Canada in 1984.A half-dozen Quebec priests who used to support the traditionalists have died, Roch said.PRIESTS EUROPEAN Today, the priests who celebrate the traditional Latin mass in Quebec all come from Europe, said Roch, a 46-year-old Swiss priest.The group leader in Canada is Rev.Jacques Emily, originally from France, who is now at Econe for the ordination ceremonies.In Quebec, Roch said, there are chapels dedicated to celebrating the old mass in Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Notre-Dame-des Bois and Shawinigan.There are others in Winnipeg and other towns in the West.The Quebec chapels are all served by the European priests from Shawinigan.They are not recognized by local church authorities, said a spokesman at the archbishop's office.Roch said the Second Vatican Council defied tradition, meaning decrees by earlier popes, when it changed the mass.Bouchard planning to help from Ottawa OTTAWA (CP) — With a pledge to be “faithful and bear true allegiance ” to the Queen, former separatist Lucien Bouchard entered the Commons on Tuesday as MP for Lac-St-Jean and secretary of state, saying he may be able to do more for his province here than in Quebec.“I believe that’s one of the lessons of the referendum of ’80,” the newly-elected member told repor ters, referring to the campaign for sovereignty-association that he supported.“More and more Quebec francophones have to be in Ottawa.” Making a bow to Quebec’s Liberal premier and the alliance that helped him win last Monday’s byelection, the Conservative minister added that since Robert Bourassa is following in “the most noble tradition” of protecting the province’s interests from Quebec City, the focus now turns to Ottawa.“One can do a lot in Ottawa, and perhaps more in Ottawa than in Quebec,” he told reporters after a brief swearing-in ceremony in the Centre Block’s Commonwealth room.However, the 49-year-old lawyer added candidly that he is still uneasy about plitieal life.“Politics is scary for anybody,” he said.“It’s a very difficult life.” One of several law school chums Mulroney has brought into the country’s political inner circle, Bouchard was catapulted into the cabinet March 31 directly from his job as Canada’s ambassador to Paris.He is widely seen as the government’s rising star in Quebec, a province that has seen several ministers fall under scandals and allegations of wrongdoing, and as he said Tuesday, his friendship and influence with Mulroney both “pre-dates politics and it transcends politics.” As secretary of state, he oversees government policies on bilingualism, multiculturalism and education and as a close friend of the prime minister he is preparing a report on electoral reforms that could limit or eliminate political contributions from corporations and unions.However, he only won the right to sit in the Commons with his decisive victory Monday in Lac-St-Jean, the riding freed up for him by the resignation of Clément Côté.Tough anti-tobacco bill is approved OTTAWA (CP) — Tobacco advertising is nearing extinction in Canada and smoke-free offices will proliferate now that two tough anti-tobacco bills have been given Parliament’s final seal of approval.The measures, given final Senate approval and royal assent Tuesday, are a crippling blow to the tobacco industry which fought a losing battle for more than a year to have the bills turned aside.One is a private member’s bill, sponsored by New Democrat Lynn McDonald, which guarantees smoke-free workplaces in companies regulated by the federal government.That includes banks, telecommunications firms, Crown corporations and others.The second bill, C-51, is a government measure sponsored by Health Minister Jake Epp and will ban tobacco ads on TV, radio, newspapers, billboards and magazines.Here’s a rundown of how the tough measures will affect Canadians.Bill C-204 —Guarantees a smoke-free workplace for federal civil servants or any employee whose company is under federal jurisdiction (for example, banks or Crown corporations).—Requires employers who set up smoking rooms to make “reasonable efforts” to have them separately ventilated.Cabinet could exempt a company if the cost is too high.—Requires planes, ships, trains and buses that carry passengers and come under federal jurisdiction to be smoke-free except for designated smoking areas.—Allows cabinet to permit smoking areas for flights longer than two hours or for international flights originating outside Canada.All ships, trains and buses could also have smoking areas.—Imposes maximum fines on companies that fail to comply — $1,000 on first offence,.$10,000 on second offence.But the act gives employers 12-months’ grace before fines can be levied.—Imposes maximum fines on smokers who light up in nonsmoking areas — $50 on first offence, $100 on second.None of these measures will come into effect until cabinet decides when to proclaim them.Technically, it could withhold proclamation indefinitely but health groups say they’re not expecting a delay.Bill C-51 -Bans all tobacco advertising in Canada, whether on radio, TV, billboards, newspapers or magazines, with some exceptions.—Allows TV or radio broadcasts originating outside Canada, as well as imported publications, to carry tobacco ads.But no one in Canada can promote tobacco products here by piggybacking on foreign broadcasts or publications.—Allows tobacco ads on most signs, primarily billboards, only until Jan.I, 1991.Until then, the number of signs must be phased out gradually and each must carry a health warning.—Allows signs advertising tobacco at retailers’ shops only until Jan.1, 1993, with certain restrictions.—Allows tobacco manufacturers to use brand names in promotional activities related to sports or cultural events that they sponsor only if the contract was signed before Jan.25 this year.—Bans free samples, rebates, contests or games offered by tobacco manufacturers.—Requires that all tobacco products have health warnings drawn up by regulation and that they include a list of toxic substances.—Imposes maximum fines ranging from $2,000 to $300,000, and maximum prison terms of six months to two years, depending on the violation.All of these measures come into effect Jan.1.i\ Original mici vai isit let the text Is grayish or colour background. 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, June 29, 1988 The Townships Raxrà ‘There are great possibilities’, says free-trade caravan Going for the brass ring: Business urged to tame wild U.S.markets By Scott David Harrison SHERBROOKE — The Cana-dian-American Free Trade Accord is not bound by any particular poli- tical stripe, Jean Charest said Tuesday.The minister for youth, fitness and amateur sport said the accord will be good for all Canadian busi-nesses.Charest made the comments to members of the Eastern Townships business commu- |q Sherbrooke chamber of commerce president Richard Miquelon looks on as Department of External Affairs Trade Negotiator Germain Denis addresses local bu- siness representives at Tuesday’s free trade confe- rence.nity as the federal free-trade-caravan pulled into town to drum up support for the proposed agreement.The conference was to imform local entrepreneurs of trading possibilities Canadians could develop if the agreement is passed on both sides of the border.Tony Going, whose Peat Marwick consulting group was commissioned to study Canadian export opportunities in the United States market, said “there are great possibilities for Canadian investment in the U.S.and I encourage the exploration of the U.S.market.” BUYERS SURVEYED Going based his assumptions on a survey his group conducted with U.S.importers to raise awareness of the accord among major American importers, and to ask them to compare Canadian products with those from other countries — Europe and Japan in particular.Based on 20 of 80 importing sectors where the survey has been completed, all 20 American importers noticed that the prices of European and Japanese goods had increased dramatically over the last decade, while Canadian prices have remained stable, he said.This was based on re-alignment of world currencies.As the Ameri- can dollar drops in value around the globe, other countries’ money has risen against it, Going said.Canada is a particular case where our dollar has remained constant, yet submissive, to the U.S.“greenback".Going’s survey also found that U.S.importers expressed a keen interest in knowing the prices and the advantages of Canadian exports.EXPECTING MORE He also found that importers expect to increase buying goods and services from Canada by 20 to 30 per cent in coming years.Going also discovered that 40 per cent of importers surveyed had not yet considered the impact of the free trade deal and were unaware of Canada’s export capabilities.He suggested that if Canadian business were leery of his group’s survey they “should examine their own possibilities to secure thoughts about exporting to the U.S.” Consul and Senior Trade Commissioner Zen Burianyk of the Canadian Consulate General in New York City said export opportunities are endless in New York State.But added that a free trade agreement does not ensure expansion of Canadian presence in the U.S.market.He said free trade “won’t guarantee exports to the U.S.” but would gave Canadians an oppurtu-nity for export.UNIQUE PRODUCTS Burianyk said Canadian entrepreneurs will have to be unique, and offer goods and services which are not readily available in the U.S.Sherbrooke MP Charest said the accord covers the three major areas that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney sought.First, it strengthens Canadian access to the American import market, Second it has an arbitration mechanism to ensure that Ca-nadian-American disputes would be settled fairly.And lastly, Ca-nads would increase its share of the U.S.market.Charest said that if the accord is passed — to be partially implimen-ted in Jan.1, 1989 with a total reduction of trade barriers 10 years later — it would create more jobs, give businesses exploration opportunities and enable Canadians the chance to be competitive in the world market.Locally, Charest said he sees a bright future for business.“In the Eastern Townships,” he said, “I am convinced we will profit from the agreement.” New tourism information kiosk inaugurated at the gates of the Townships By Rita Legault ST-ALPHONSE DE GRANBY-The Townships have a new welcome centre for tourists at the gates of the region on the Eastern Townships Autoroute in St-Alphonse de Gandby.La Maison du tourisme de l'Es-trie, formely the first toll booth on the 10, has been turned into a greeting place for visitors.The centre will have tourist information, picnic tables, rest rooms, vending machines and a friendly staff to help tourists and residents plan their holiday time in the Townships.“This is the eighth Maison du tourisme to open in Quebec and it is the only one that will be open year-round,” said Megantic-Compton MNA Madeleine Belanger who represented Tourism Minister Michel Gratton at the inauguration ceremony yesterday.Belanger said tourism in the Townships is a big industry throughout the year and the new kiosk should be a big help in promoting the area.“Presenting an image that is hospitable and dynamic is the first ob- jective of the Maison du tourisme,” ATE president Robert Gagnon said.“The centre will greet tourists and inform them about everything that’s happening in the Townships.” The Maison du tourisme should become an important distribution centre because it is an excellent interception point, Gagnon said.The Eastern Townships Autoroute is the busiest road in the area with 15,000 vehicles passing in front of the kiosk daily and 19,000 a day during the summer, he said.The creation of the Maison du Tourisme was made possible by the cooperation of several township municipalities, the Association Touristique de TEstrie, the Centre de coordination économique Granby Métropolitain and the Provincial Ministry of Tourism.In 1987 the municipalities of Bro-mont, Granby, Cowansville, Brome Lake, Waterloo and Granby Township united to guarantee an $80,000 loan and to request a grant from the toursim ministry.They obtained the grant and permission to use the former toll booth as well.The $120,000 grant from the tourism ministry has paid for 60 per cent of the costs of the Maison du tourisme.The remaining 40 per cent was picked up by the six founding municipalities.Madeleine Bélanger.should be a big help in promotion of the area.From now on operation costs will be covered by the rental of space to hotels, restaurants, campgrounds, ski resorts and other tourist attractions for their pamphlets and brochures.But organizers are looking for other financial partners throughout the rest of the Townships.Gilles Sorel of the Centre de coordination économique Granby métropolitain said the two founding MRCs (Municipalité Régionales de Compté) will be visiting the other seven MRCs in order to invite them to participate in the centre.“Because the Maison du tourisme de l’Estrie is a welcome centre for the whole of the region served by the ATE, other m,unicir palities should join the effort in order for it to be a truly a regional centre,” Sorel said.The centre will employ one fulltime staffer as well as several students depending on the time of year.Right now it is high-season and there are four part-timers on staff.\ -A * JÈ i * I & T Gilles Sorel.we need to get the whole of the Townships involved.Behind the news NDP gives free trip to raise funds for party OTTAWA (CP) — In its most suc- Florini, who identified hen OTTAWA (CP) — In its most successful direct-mail appeal for funds ever, the New Democratic Party has collected almost $350,000 with its giveaway of a two-week trip to Australia and New Zealand.NDP president Johanna den Hertog announced Tuesday that Susan Fiorini of Burnaby, B.C., one of 9,099 entrants, has won the grand prize, worth about $8,000.Comunications co-ordinator Terry O’Grady said the prize includes air fare and hotel for two for two weeks, plus $1,000 spending money.Fiorini, who identified herself as an average housewife who has been supporting the party for the last few' years, said in a telephone interview she will probably take the trip in January.But there may be a catch.If the prize is taxable, which she conceded it probably is, it could—depending on her tax bracket — cost her substantially to accept it.O’Grady said the “Down Under” sweepstakes brought in about 30 per cent more than the popular mailing a few years ago that was disguised as a tax notice.Dog does the impossible OTTAWA (CP) — A two-year-old Great Dane called Tara is breaking the rules of the medical and animal worlds by nursing and keeping healthy five lively kittens.The kittens were born about four weeks ago and after a little more than a week “the mother just took off,’’ says Lucy Svoboda, 16, owner of the dog and the kittens.With the kittens demanding their meal, Lucy was wondering what to do when Tara stepped in and flopped over on her side.Tara has never had a litter of her own, is not pregnant and shouldn’t have milk.Lucy and her parents, Jaroslava and Peter, thought it was impossible and kept the strange situation secret because they doubted the kittens could survive.But they have thrived.France gets new cabinet PARIS (AP) — Premier Michel Rocard named a new cabinet Tuesday with leading Socialists in all key posts, similar to the French government that resigned two weeks ago.As expected, Rocard reappointed Finance Minister Pierre Beregovoy, Foreign Minister Roland Dumas, Defence Minister Jean-Pierre Chevenement and Interior Minister Pierre Joxe.Other top figures renamed from his first cabinet included Lionel Jospin as education minister.Jean-Louis Bianco, presidential aide, announced the appointments.Rocard was expected to make his first major policy address to the National Assembly today since his own appointment by President Francois Mitterrand.Mitterrand, a Socialist, was re-elected to a seven-year term May 8.—_____fagf iRgcorn George MacLaren, Publisher.569-9511 Randy Kinnear, Assistant

Irish Republican Army bomb exploded Tuesday in a bus driven by a part-time soldier.The bus was carrying 12 Protestant and Roman Catholic students to school in Northern Ireland’s County Fermanagh.The IRA said in a statement to reporters that it planted the bomb but would hold an investigation because a civilian had been “regrettably injured,” a tacit acknowledgement the attack went awry.The seriously injured girl, Gillian Latimer, underwent emergency surgery in Enniskillen, some 15 kilometres from the blast site, and was then transferred to Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, 110 kilometres away, police said.She was in the intensive care unit with chest injuries and a broken arm, the hospital said.BY GARRY TRUDEAU Today will be very cool and mostly cloudy with scattered

accept offer and stay on the job By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — It was close, but employees at Combustion Engineering voted yesterday to accept the company’s latest contract offer.The workers voted 58.7 per cent in favor of the latest offer which management insisted was “final”.About 83 per cent of employees, 415 out of about 500 and all male, crowded into the gymnasium of St-François elementary school to hear the latest offer and vote on it.Union representative Louis Bé- rubé said union leaders didn't make any recommendations to members before the vote."The contract didn’t meet our objectives, but management insisted this offer was final,” Bérubé said “I guess the men figured that with a strike deadline looming they had better take what they were offered.’’ The result of the vote — 402 for, 236 against, and one spoiled ballot — was met with mixed reaction from the crowd of men who got the grey afternoon off from their jobs at the Roy Street factory to vote.TENSE FEELING The atmosphere was tense as loud boos and angry yells were heard in the hall.One man threw his copy of the offer in the air and stormed out of the room.He was quickly followed by other grumbling members.Others sat stone faced and resigned, while still others reacted to media attention with nervous laughter.No one cheered the deal.“Negotiations at Combustion Engineering are always difficult like this,” Bérubé said.The latest offer included salary a cctes tor employees in t he low est two trade levels for the duration of the two year contract Workers between levels three and 10 received increases of between 2 and 6.5 per cent for the first and between 2 and 6 in the second year of the contract.The average increase is about 4 per cent for each year of a two-year contract.The union had been seeking increases of 12 per cent in the first year and 14 per cent in the second year.The company offered lump-sum payments upon signature of the contract, to those in the lowest three wage scales.Those at level 1 and 2 received $300.Those in pay level3 received $150 for signing the contract.REFUSED EARLIER An earlier offer included salary cuts to lower paid employees while offering increases to higher paid employees.It was soundly rejected by 94 per cent of those present at a union meeting two weeks ago.Employees then gave the union a strike mandate with 84 per cent in favor of a possible walkout.The union would have been in a legal strike position July 6."Increases for the first four salary levels were under the cost of li ving.” Bérubé said of Tuesday 's offer But he said the union obtained a few non monetary benefits such as an increase in death leave from four day s to three when a spouse or child dies, a fourth week of vacation after 12 years of seniority instead of 13.improvements to group insurance and some to the pension plan Combustion Engineering manufactures tubular boilers for electric power generators.4P* ^ jm RI CORD/C.RANT SIMEON Workers at Combustion Engineering showed differing reactions to the labor contract they eventually approved Tuesday.But none cheered when the vote to keep working was announced.6We have heard nothing from them.It is always the same’ Striking workers wait patiently for Ma Bell to get back to the kitchen table By Scott David Harrison SHERBROOKE — Two days after more than 19,000 operators and technicians from across Quebec, Ontario and the Northwest Territories went on strike, Bell Canada and the Communications Workers of Canada (CWC) are still not talking.The telephone strike caused great delays for long distance calls and has put most new installations at a stand-still as management scrambles to replace the striking workers.Locally, more than 400 CWC members from Granby, Sherbrooke, Lake Megantic and Thet-ford Mines are presently sharing picketing duties, which calls for 16 hours a week.The CWC’s Sherbrooke president says all is calm on the picket lines and no problems have arisen.But Gilles Cyr said he is not impressed by the company’s reluctance to sit at the bargaining table.‘ALWAYS THE SAME’ “We have heard nothing from them.It is always the same thing,” said Cyr.He said Bell has an open invitation to sit down and solve the dispute, but has chosen not to respond.“We want to negotiate, but we haven’t heard anything.We’re going to have to wait.The company is not talking.” The union has been without a contract since Dec.30 1987 and at- tempts to reach a settlement failed during six months of contract talks.The union is seeking a three-year agreement which would increase their wages by 8.5 per cent in the first year and 6.75 per cent for each of the next two years.Bell has offered increases of five, 4.5, and 4.5 per cent.The highest paid CWC members (splicers and central officemen) are earning $18.50 an hour, while the lowest paid employees (opera tors) are making $13.83.PENSION PLAN The union is also seeking to have its pension plan indexed to the cost-of-living.It is presently indexed at two per cent.Workers are also asking that limits be put on hiring part-time and casual workers as well as sub contracting work outside the company — and hence the union.The union wants increased vacation benefits and dental coverage as well.As for the busy signals and recor- ded messages customers are hea ring while trying to reach an operator, Cyr said the company is making everybody wait, not just the union.The last time technicians struck was in 1979.The strike lasted a month and the union claimed victo ry.It also said that the three month strike by operators in 1980 was sucessful for members.The union doesn’t expect to hear for the company until next week, Cyr concluded.‘Why we are giving less grants and more loans’ Driving deficit Quebec down the key to our prosperity—Deputy André J.By Craig Pearson SHERBROOKE — The provincial government’s doing a bang-up job in serving its people.Just ask Sherbrooke Deputy André J.Hamel.And the best thing the present government has done is reduce Quebec’s deficit, Hamel said at a breakfast meeting Tuesday for local journalists.“We reduced the deficit in a way that also created employment,” said Hamel.“If we didn’t reduce the deficit, we would have been in trouble.But we still have money to support programs and businesses.“I think what we did was good.” Hamel trumpeted his government’s policy of lending money to financially troubled companies instead of giving it to them.“That way, it’s good for both parties,” he said at his sum-up-the-government’s-recent-accomplishments meeting.“We re interested in facilitating the access of business into competition.“That’s why we are giving less grants and more loans.” PAY IT BACK In other words, Hamel said saving a company from bancruptcy is favor enough.The government shouldn’t have to lose money as well.Hamel said it’s only right that a flourishing company eventually pays back a loan — even if it’s to the government.Besides deficit and company loan policies, Hamel spoke of other government goodies.In particular, he announced a $40,000 grant for the badly-underfunded Eastern Townships Youth Protection office.And though he said the government is trying to reduce grants to private companies, Hamel announced money for companies complying with the government’s latest job creation program.A $27,432 grant went to Modelage Mouland Inc.and ITmpri-merie HLN Inc.picked up $70,000.Hamel also reminded journalists about $305,555 Quebec gave various Eastern Townships senior-citizen institutions early in June.FRENCH AND MINORITIES As well, Hamel reflected a little on the state of the French language in the province.He said the Liberal governement stresses the “reinforcement of making Quebec French and of respecting the rights of minorities.” He said the Townships are virtually free of a French-English cold war, something some other parts of the province experienced in the early 80s.“I think Eastern Townships people are living in harmony and with a respect for one another,” he said.“And I hope it will André Hamel, good.’ ‘What we did was continue.” Among other topics, Hamel mentioned projects or planned-projects such as the possibility of extending the city’s Jacques Car-tier Blvd, north directly to the Eastern Townships autoroute, and of creating an affordable system of local home care help.He said he is happy to see the city of Sherbroke purchase the old Sherbrooke courthouse with the intention of turning it into the town hall.He said that will preserve much of the city’s history.‘The rhythm of the court’ steams Henry K.Wave of no-shows frustrates Crown prosecutor COWANSVILLE (JM) — Gaétan Hurdle failed to appear for senten cing on a charge of making a false declaration to the police to obtain money from an insurance company.Defence lawyer Claude Hamann said his client had paid $700 of the $1500 he owed.Then Crown attorney Henry Keyserlingk exploded.“The case goes back to 1984 and he’s never here,” he said, seeking an arrest warrant.Hamann replied he’d probably have better luck locating his client and the gloves were off between the lawyers in a very vocal exchange.“He’s a poor man trying to pay a debt,” Sessions Court Judge Claude Léveillé interjected, delaying the case to Aug.9.Then it was defence lawyer Daniel Lavallée’s turn.He had no idea where his client Patrice Croteau was and suggested a warrant as well.“That will be the third for him,” Keyserlingk muttered.“Never two without three,” lawyer Daniel Giard said as he requested that representations on sentencing in the case of Richard Gagnon be delayed to Aug.9.His client also managed to forget to appear.The delay was granted and Keyserlingk, in a resigned tone, said he would, “follow the rhythm of the court.” C’ville man ordered to keep up treatment COWANSVILLE (JM) — A man with drinking and other problems was fined $325 and costs recently and ordered to keep seeing a psy-chatrist.“This is a special case and Dr.Pierre Gagné seems to have cured my client,” defence lawyer Claude Hamann said in representations on sentencing for Arnold McCoy Davis.The accused earlier pleaded guilty to charges of being drunk and disorderly, willful property damage, as well as two counts of having masturbated in public in Cowansville during 1987.Hamann said McCoy Davis was off alcohol, on medication, and should continue to see Dr.Gagné at intervals established by the court.Crown attorney Henry Keyserlingk said the court must make sure the accused won t commit similar infractions in the future.McCoy Davis told the court he could provide a quit-claim for the damages of $440.Sessions Court Judge Claude Léveillé read Gagné’s report, concluded the accused indeed had problems, then fined him $25 and costs on the first count, $100 and costs on each of the others, in default to 24 days in jail, and placed him on probation for three years.McCoy-Davis was ordered to see Gagné monthly during the first year, then at intervals deemed necessary by the Sherbrooke forensic psychiatrist.Davis was allowed one week to provide the court with proof of restitution.Townships talk COWANSVILLE (JM) — It cost Jean Fou rnier $ 1100 plus the cost of a detoxication program but he managed to stay out of jail despite three convictions for operating a motor vehicle while his blood-alcohol level exceeded .08 milligrams during 1987.Defence lawyer Michel Barbant told the court Fournier lost his wife, his house, and all his possessions due to alcohol.He said he volunteered and paid for the closed cure out of his own pocket, is now reconciled with his former wife, and is a staunch member of AA.Barbant suggested the minimum fine in each case and a donation to La boussole, a Granby detoxication Centre Crown attorney Henry Keyserlingk didn’t object, but pointed out the first infraction was .180 mgs., the second .190 mgs., and the last .250 mgs., and suggested the court rescind his permit for a prolonged period.Judge Claude Léveillé fined Fournier $300 and costs on each count, in default to 30 days, consecutive on each count, ordered him to make a $200 donation to Labous-sole within terms of a three year probation, and rescinded Fournier's permit for six months from the date of sentencing.Fournier surrendered his driver's permit when he pleaded guilty on December 4.1987.COMING TO.America Tins summer,

1897 Editorial Don’t flog too big of a reactor A motorcycle is too much for a 10-year-old, a cannon is too much for a duck hunter, and a 10-megawatt nuclear reactor is too much for the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke.You know the last point’s true when even the salesman admits it.Michel Therrien, executive vice-president of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited which is trying to sell the ‘Slowpoke’ nuclear reactor to the CHUS, admitted recently that, well, maybe 10-megawatts is too much after all.The question is, how does Atomic Energy of Canada dare try to push something as controversial and potentially dangerous as a nuclear reactor on an area like the Townships when it realizes it’s too powerful anyway?This isn’t like trying to sell an overpowered dehumidifier to a restaurant owner.By nature of its touchy, modern-era business, Atomic Energy of Canada has a responsibility to think of the well-being of Canadians.Atomic Energy isn’t your everyday average run-of-the-mill, make-money-at-all-costs corporation, nor should it act like one.It’s not that Atomic Energy isn’t developing the safest reactors it possibly can, it’s just it seems a little overzealous in its sales.Obviously, the crown corporation desperately wants to sell its’ product.But in this case, sales cannot be considered the most important aspect.So thank goodness for Quebec Energy Minister John Ciaccia who said a polite and simple ‘No’ to the CHUS’s request for its own nuclear reactor which they intended to use to heat the hospital and to make isotopes with.It was only after Ciaccia ended debate with a firm no-siree-Bob that Atomic Energy owned up.And that’s shocking.Nuclear power is powerful.So powerful, in fact, that everybody except politicians and reactor salesmen are afraid of it.If it doesn’t take a large reactor to satisfy the needs of one hospital, or business, or church, or whatever is considering one, Atomic Energy should only try to flog a little one.Better still, since this is a democratic country, if most citizens in the area don’t want a reactor, then Atomic Energy shouldn’t try to sell one at all.CRAIG PEARSON Strereotypes are linked to Native incarceration By Paul Jankowski The Canadian Press The problem is found on downtown streets and in tiny communities surrounded by wilderness — there’s no solution, only more trips to jail.Across Canada, native people are imprisoned in numbers far out of proportion to their population.Since 1984, the majority of people admitted to provincial jails in M anito-ba — sentenced to less than two years — have been native.Of the more than one million people who live in the province, only about 55,500 are Metis or Indian.In the Northwest Territories, where native people make up about 52 per cent of the population, nine in 10 people serving less than two years in jail last year were natives.Of N.W.T.residents admitted to federal penitentiaries — sentenced to more than two years — 73 per cent were natives.JAILS NATIVES The latest census figures estimate 410 native people live on Prince Edward Island, about .33 per cent of the population.Native people accounted for three per cent of the admissions to P.E .1.jails and seven per cent of admissions to federal institutions last year.And so the numbers go across Canada.“Don’t get your balls caught in a vise over an Indian,” a Nova Scotia country court judge allegedly told a lawyer for Donald Marshall, the Micmac Indian who served 11 years in jail for a murder he didn’t commit.In The Pas, Man., it took 16 years to solve the murder of Helen Betty Osborne, an 19-year-old native who was killed in 1971.The names of the four white men who picked her up the night she died were known in town.One confessed to a provincial sheriff nine years before charges were laid.The Alberta government recently agreed to a public inquiry into how the RCMP responded to a number of deaths on Blood Indian reserve in southern Alberta.CALLS IT SUBTLE The hearings are “a very subtle way of admitting to the native public there is something terribly wrong with the justice system,” Billyjo De-laronde, executive director of the Manitoba Metis Association, said in a recent interview.“In all cases, I don’t think it’s racism planned and executed.(but) in many cases native people are used as patsies.” Problems of racism in the justice system have been acknowledged in the past.Michael Jackson, a law professor at the University of British Columbia, argued in a recent interview that racism is systemic in Canada and police and the courts, by the nature of their dealings with native people, can have the stereotype of Indians as a criminal class enforced.Still, he said, “if you get rid of all the racist cops, all the racist judges, all the racist lawyers, you’d still have the those same (imprisonment) statistics.” ACCEPTS POINT Georges Eramus, chief of the national status Indian association, the Assembly of First Nations, said “there’s pruoduiy some truth to that.Doug Schmeiser, a law professor at University of Saskatchewan and the author of a 1974 Law Reform Commission report on native offenders, dismissed racism as the reason behind native imprisonment figures, blaming instead “the nature of the system.“We have a system where we put people in jail for committing criminal offences.” The high rate of crime among native people, he said, won’t change until they have the same education and employment rates as the rest of society and that won’t happen as long as native people are determined to remain segregated on reserves, where they have no employment opportunities.With unemployment among native people at 80 per cent across Canada and 85 per cent on reserves, “you don’t need no sociologist to study this thing,” said Larry Demeules, who is on the board of directors of the Metis National Council.“What you need is to get people off welfare and back to work.” Soviets honoring Canadian veterans BURLINGTON.Ont.(CP) — Despite the diplomatic storm between Canada and the Soviet Union, an official from the Soviet Embassy decorated about 70 Canadian veterans Monday for transporting supplies to northern Soviet ports during the Second World War.“In their own way, these men are heroes of the Soviet Union,” said Igor Lia kin Frolov, First Secretary of the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa.“These men helped us win the war against fascism.” In his speech to the veterans and families crammed into the Royal Canadian Naval Association, Liakin-Frolov did not mention the spying allegations and reprisals which have recently been flying between his country and Canada.During the war, Canadians served on many of the 77 convoys that left the West for the Soviet Union loaded with military supplies.They were bound for the northern Russian ports of Murmansk and Archangel — destinations many of them didn’t reach.Art Burchat of Burlington, near Hamilton, sailed with two of the Murmansk bound convoys and is still haunted by memories of shipmates drowning in the ice-cold waters or burning with the ignited fuel of torpedoed tankers.But Burchat refused to talk about his memories after receiving his medal.“There are so many things you don’t want to remember,” he said as he looked back nearly 45 years.“I won’t say what I saw — let the dead be in peace.” SHIPS AT MERCY The 1,500 ships in the convoys were at the mercy of submarines, bombers and surface ships as they cruised north from England toward the Soviet ports, trying to avoid Nazi patrols.Burchat.a gunner on the frigate Cape Breton, spent his waking hours at an icy gun position scanning for bombers or telltale torpedo tracks.And when he wasn't at a gun, he was chipping away at ice that threatened to capsize the ship.Sleep was a luxury on the three-week trip from home waters to the dubious safety of the Russian ports.“We were scared every minute,” said Burchat.“Anyone who tells you he wasn’t is a liar.The Germans just kept hitting us above the water and below it." Cecil Radmorc of Brantford, Ont., didn't know enough to be afraid He enlisted in the merchant marine at age 15 and was a veteran of the Russian waters before his next birthday.“1 lost my teenage years in the space of a few months,” he said.“You saw things that a man — let alone a boy — should never have seen.” Radmore remembers the dismembered remains of men torn apart by explosions.And he can still see the survivors of torpedoed oil tankers, floating in the ocean amidst the spilled, flaming fuel cargo.He came close to dying himself when his ship was trapped in ice within range of German bombers.“Three Stukas found us in the White Sea and dive-bombed us,” he said.“They missed and actually blasted us out of the ice — better than an icebreaker could have done.” OK THE.CANPMGK TRAIL, IT NEVER RAINS.BUT IT POURS.r y \ III! (V / LV v 0 SJl 0 \ \ \ \ X \ X \ ‘Ai \ \ \ (IS \ The Christian Science Monitor Sexuality amongst disabled is a taboo subject OTTAWA (CP) — Benita Fifield’s father practically disowned her when she got married because he wanted her to fall for a knight on a white charger but she fell for a man in a wheelchair.The Fifields celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary this year.“My dad’s expectation held that a knight on a white horse would sweep me away and take care of me forever after,” says Benita.“He didn't perceive that somebody with a disability could do that." Her husband, Orville, now 48, became a quadraplegic after a ear accident about 30 years ago.In many respects, their marriage is unique.What separates the Fifields from the vast majority of couples is their ability to talk openly with each other to resolve their intimate needs.Communication, Benita emphasizes, is their cardinal rule.“You can’t find yourself in bed by some accident, which a lot of people do,” says Benita, a social worker and occupational therapist at the Univer- sity of Alberta.She also teaches sexuality.“You have to ask the person, ‘please put my feet on the bed, now take my arm rest out, please take my pants off.’ “So you are both talking through the whole thing.” FACES TABOO Sexuality is generally a taboo topic, but add sexuality to disability and the subject becomes almost unmentionable in a society plagued by Puritanism and pornography.Millions of Canadians are impaired physically to some extent through strokes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, severe burns; the list is endless.The Fifields, along with a growing cadre of committed professionals, are teaching — mostly other professionals — that it’s okay for people with medical problems to worry about sexuality.First they teach what it means.Benita recalls a neighbor who, while dying of cancer, slept in a separate bedroom from her husband.“That happens to a lot of people; they become untouchable.It’s almost like leprosy.“If I were dying, I’d want to be held and if my partner moves away because he is scared and we don’t talk about the fact that I am dying, then we’re going to lose out on our sexual intimacy." Sexuality is often the first concern for people who wake up in a hospital bed after surgery, for example.‘‘It’s not necessarily sex they worry about,” says Benita.“But.will somebody want me anymore, will anybody love me anymore, will anybody come near me now that I’ve been burned from my head down to my knees, or I’ve lost a limb?” Catherine Fichten, a psychologist at the Montreal Jewish General Hospital, says most schools for disabled children and nursing homes don’t even teach sex education.Children with disabilities are often carefully sheltered, making them easy targets for sexual abuse, Fichten says.Dealing with the issue is complica- ted because social workers and physi cians often have trouble overcomini their own biases.“There are a lot of very up-tigh professionals out there who find th whole topic distasteful,” Denton Bu chanan, a psychologist specializing ii sexuality at the Ottawa Rehabilita tion Centre, says.In Vancouver.Dr.George Szas leads a team specializing in sexualit; and disabilities at Shaughnessy Hos pital in Vancouver.The team is als affiliated with Vancouver’s G.F Strong Rehabilitation Centre.“We have people who have majo impairments to the point they ma even have to be in a respirator,” Szsa says.“Yet they are able to offer love, at cept love and can luxuriate in the int macy of face-to-face contact or le their partner feel their body and sa things that are wonderful for the tw of them.“Within their relationship, they ar flowering, they feel like men and wt men, they feel good as human being and they are fulfilled.” The RECORD—Wednesday, June 29.198H-3 Farm and Business #¦___g£l JKccara Disgarded fish could feed starving people in Africa By Nelle Oosterom HOLYROOD, Nfld.(CP) — The sun has just set on one of the longest days of the year, but the wharf of this pretty fishing village near St.John's is still as busy as a hive.Men haul nets bursting with small, silver capelin on to the dock, where the fish are dumped and sorted on the spot by about 50 women and children.Chattering and laughing as they work, they’ll be at it till every fish is sorted.Female capelin go into white plastic tubs and eventually to Japan.Males are tossed back into the water, where they sink if seagulls don’t get them first.“That could feed a million people,” says Fred Hawko as he stares down at the layers of dead capelin lying on the bottom of the salt-water bay.The young, sun burned fisherman isn’t comfortable with the idea but he’s grown accustomed to seeing thousands of tonnes of capelin dumped off Newfoundland each year.Capelin, a fish about twice the size of a sardine, is tasty when fresh but not in high demand and only marketable because the roe — the sticky yellow eggs — is a delicacy to the Japanese.TONNES DUMPED There is a limited market for capelin in the form of canned fish, animal food, fertilizer and bait.The rest — about 20,000 tonnes of it this year — gets dumped.The same situation occurs in Nova Scotia’s herring roe fishery.Last year, 50,000 tonnes of male herring were discarded.In the fishery generally, offshore trawlers routinely dump an unknown tonnage of fish at sea because they’re the wrong size or the wrong species.In St.John’s, the two-year-old Fish Aid Development Agency has been trying to find a subsidized means of drying capelin and shipping it to developing countries at prices they can afford.Brendan Foley, a former Roman Catholic priest and the unpaid president of the agency, envisions that as many as 1,800 otherwise unemployed Newfoundlanders could be put to work on the project.“One of those every day will meet the protein requirements of a child in Africa,” says Foley, holding up a sample of a dried capelin.Foley is an intense, wiry man.When he speaks in his Scottish brogue, he betrays his frustration at the bureaucratic roadblocks in the way of the project.NEEDS MORE MONEY While Fish Aid has received about $362,000 from various federal and provincial government sources since 1986, it is still far from being able to move food to the Third World.About $100,000 has gone to rent, administration costs and salaries — an original staff of four was cut to two.The remainder was spent on fea- sibility and nutrition studies and a trade mission to Nigeria, all aimed at obtaining long-term funding from the Canadian International Development Agency — the federal body that handles Canada's $280-million food aid program.But so far CIDA has rejected the proposal.The agency’s Diane Spearman cites capelin’s unfamiliarity to people in the Third World as the main reason.“One of the things we’ve learned in the history of 30 years of giving food aid is that unfamiliar foods don’t tend to be used effectively,” says Spearman, director of CIDA’s Food Aid Centre in Hull, Que.EXCHANGE FOR WORK Only a small percentage of the agency’s food is actually given away.The rest — most of it grain — is sold on the local market or given out in exchange for work on development projects, making it less likely that people will choose a food they haven’t seen before, she says.She also points out that CIDA is “a development organization, it’s not a surplus distribution agency.” But Foley and Dr.Robert Wal-ley, a St.John’s obstetrician also involved with the fish aid agency, feel the real reason is the federal government’s unwillingness to put up more money for food aid.Spearman denies that cost is the only factor.Foley and Walley also feel CIDA is disregarding the findings of their studies.Both have travelled to Nigeria where they met with fish importers and found that capelin was acceptable to them.The agency — which recently received an unspecified amount of money from the federally funded Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency — is seeking to conduct further marketing trials in Africa to prove there is a demand.PART OF DIET “Fish is more a part of the traditional West African diet than is wheat,” says Walley, who also completed a recent one-month study in Nigeria that concluded fish protein from capelin was as effective as milk protein in treating severely malnourished children.Working at a bush clinic were as many as 15 children a day died of starvation, Walley has difficulty accepting CIDA’s lack of response to the project.He also feels a private-sector solution is unlikely.The British-born doctor recalled a meeting in St.John’s between him, a Nigerian nun who operates a nutritional centre and a businessman who told them he was developing a market for capelin as zoo food.“And here I am sitting next to this nun who’s over here begging for food and she looked aghast,” Walley says.“She finally said, Tm appalled.' We both said, ‘Geez, it must be better to be an animal nowadays than it is to be a kid.”’ Canadians are earning more but they aren’t spending it OTTAWA (CP) — Workers in most provinces are making more money these days, but cash registers aren’t ringing any faster as a result.In fact, retail sales fell one per cent in April from March and there was no overall growth in sales during the first four months of the year.Statistics Canada said Tuesday.That’s in contrast to average sales growth of one per cent in each of the final four months of last year.However, average earnings in April rose by 0.5 per cent to $461.06 from March.“This increase is larger than usual for this time of year," Statistics Canada said.And compared with a year earlier, average weekly wages were up by 5.3 per cent, the greatest year-over-year increase in at least five years.The big winners in the wage game have been workers in Ontario and Quebec where larger than normal wage increases were reported in April and where the year-over-year increase was the largest since the Statistics Canada survey began in 1983.In contrast, earnings declined in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan.George Saba, chief economist with Montreal Trust, said that since 1983 Ontario has recorded an increase of 26 per cent, followed by Quebec and Atlantic Canada with an increase of about 20 per cent.SLOW ON PRAIRIES Yet, wages have risen by only 11 per cent on the Prairies and 10 per cent in British Columiba.Referring to the slump in retail sales, which account for about half Old-style XT owners can breathe a sigh of relief First, this is my last column until August.Once again the editor agreed with ego destroying speed to my suggestion that I take the month of July off.Owners of old-style XTs who are reluctant to spend the money to buy an OS2 compatible machine can breathe a sigh of relief.A new accelerator board has hit the market.Unlike the other addin boards this one can guarantee that it will run OS2.After All Microsoft wrote OS2 and they are promising the summer release of a version of OS2 to run on this card.The card?Microsoft’s Mach 20.This multi function card was designed for Microsoft by the Personal Computer Support Group (PCSG).PCSG is the manufacturer of the Breakthru series of 80286 accelerator cards for the XT.It also developed and seels Lighting, thr disk cache program and Lucid, a 3-D spreadsheet.The card has 3 parts.The heart of the system is the Mach 20.This half length card costs $495 (US) and includes an 8Mhz 80286 turbo board, a socket for a 5 or 8 Mhz 80286 math co-processor, mouse port, and connectors for the other two boards.A second card is the Memory Plus option that lists at $395 (US) 512K RAM installed.This can be boosted to 1.5 Mega Bytes using standard 256K chips with a speed of 150 nanoseconds or faster.You can boost it to 3.5 MB if you use 1 megabit chips, a somewhat more expensive proposition This card plugs into the end of the Mach 20 extending it to a full length card The Mach 20 card, although an accelerator board limited to 8 Mhz, managed to out perform 8Mhz pc AT machines in some benchmark tests.This is due.in part, to the 16K of cache memory This cache uses a 16 data bus, twice the widthof thebusona PC.The Memory Plus card also uses a 16 bit bus.The third component in the three piece set is a daughter board called the Disk Plus ($99 US).This board plugs into the Mach 20 card and replaces the XT’s floppy disk controller.The Disk Plus allows you to run any combination to twro360K, 1.2 Meg.720K, or 1.4 Meg diskettes.As OS2 only comes on the higher density diskettes, this looks like a must, if you haven’t already got a high density drive.Higher density drives are available from any mail order house or, PC compatible dealer.I recommend the 1.4 Meg.3.5 inch disk.Before installing the Mach 20 you’ll have to set about six jumpers, but Microsoft supplies excellent documentation for deciding which jumpers have to be set which way.Longer than life illustrations assist this sometimes intimidating task.Another intimidating situation occurs when you boot up with Disk Plus installed.Your disk drives sound like they're self-destructing.but it’s only Disk Plus figuring out which type of drives are installed.The noise goes away by the time the boot-up is complete.It's harmless no matter what it sounds like.COMPUTER EASE By Norman J.Longworth Now, if you're quick with figures, you’ll note that if you buy all three cards, you’re out of pocket about $1,000 (US).If you buy at least the Mach 20 and Memory plus card, and throw in another $100 (US), Microsoft will throw in a copy of their Excel spreadsheet program.This program lists at 495 (US), so if you were already interested, it’s a bargain.Another goody that arrives with the package, is the same SMARTDRV disk caching program that is included with Windows.One goody that surprisingly isn’t included is a RAM disk that uses the memory above 640K.Mach 20 treats this memory as LIM expanded memory, and you can’t reconfigure this memory into extended memory unless you’re running OS2.Fortunately a number of these RAM disk progRAMs are available.Orchid’s, Quadram’s and Microsoft's RAM drive will work AST’s and Talltree s won’t PC Magazine also has a shareware version on its interactive reader service.It’s listed as NJRAM-D.ARC, and it’s supposed to be good If turning your XT into an OS2 machine is what you want, this is probably the waj- to go.If you just want speed, both the Intel Inboard 386/PC, and Quadram’s Quad386XT are about twice as fast for $995 (US).They both also include a megabyte of memory.They both may be OS2 compatible as well, but it’s still not certain.Have a happy and safe holiday, and I'll be back In August.If you have any computer questions, write me care of this column.Questions that are of general interest will be answered in the column.Norman J.Longworth has been working in Data Processing since I9(>l, and is currently a computer systems consultant in Sherbrooke, Toronto Dominion refuses to play by new banking rules By Gord McIntosh and Eric Beauchesne OTTAWA (CP) — The Toronto Dominion Bank stood alone Tuesday in refusing to play by a proposed new set of government rules aimed at giving the consumer a break on bank service charges.Government officials were wrapping up several weeks of tough negotiations with the major banks and trust companies prior to a statement on the issue Thursday by junior finance minister Tom Hoc kin.Both Hockin and Consumer Mi nister Harvie Andre have said the government wants to avoid extensive legislative changes and to get the banks to co-operate to give consumers relief on a range of service charges.Hockin hopes to be able announce Thursday morning that all major banks and trust companies have agreed to voluntary changes — including a promise to supply basic no-frills accounts — so that the government won’t have to add to an already-swollen legislative agenda, government sources said.“Results are more important than regulations,” Hockin said of the compromise approach on his way to a cabinet meeting.“We’re after results.” As of Tuesday, five of the Big Six banks had agreed to go along with Hockin on everything from dropping some charges to providing up to 60 days notice of increases, government and banking officials said.NOT A HOLDOUT Sue de Stein of the TD said her bank cannot be described as a holdout because it is already offering its customers most of the things the government wants them to have.But she said TD would not agree to drop the service charge it imposes on the recipients of NSF cheques, as the other banks have.This charge is under internal review and the bank will make its decision on the basis of what its competition does, she said.Such charges were held out as major irritants at hearings by the Commons finance committee in April.Both Hockin and the committee want them banned.Government sources, however, added that TD doesn’t want to make promises on basic banking accounts as the others have.The Bank of Nova Scotia has told its customers in a series of newspaper ads that it will no longer

account is worth $5 or less.) Sources said the government threatened during negotiations to publish a list of what institutions are voluntarily complying and which aren’t.De fptçip said the TD isn’t afraid to be judged by its customers.LACKS CONTROL The sources added there was a major reason the government doesn’t want to get into a major legislative changes —- to be effective, any action on service charges would have to apply to trust companies and Ottawa does not have exclusive jurisdiction over them.The sources said the major trust companies through the Trust Companies Association of Canada have agreed to back Hockin, but there is one big holdout based in Hockin’s own riding — Canada Trust.Canada Trust of London, Ont., has not been a member of t he trust company association since 1982 be-cause of policy differences.Company chairman Merv Lahn said he was expecting a phone call from Hockin and would decide then whether to go along with the government.Meanwhile, Tory backbencher Paul McCrossan said he will allow his private member’s bill on service charges to die if the banks deliver on what they have promised.McCrossan’s bill, which would make most of the recommenda tions of the finance committee the law, has been selected by lottery for debate on July 12, He said he will stand to have his bill raised on July 12, meaning the bill will come up again 20 days later.“In that period 1 want to see the banks implement their agreement,” McCrossan said.Number of prairie farms on the delcine since 1987 of all spending by consumers and 30 per cent of all spending in the economy, Saba said it suggests some retrenchment by consumers.“The consumer is reaching a point where some retrenchment is called for,” he said, pointing to indicators such as the buildup in consumer debt and the reduction in consumer savings.“I think those retail numbers reflect that.REGINA (CP) — The number of farmers and farm workers in the Prairie provinces has declined sharply in the past year, Statistics Canada figures show.The figures compare May 1988 with May 1987.They show that 24,000 fewer people listed as independent farmers, hired hands and unpaid farm family workers in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta — the provinces hit hardest by this summer’s drought.The worst decline was in Saskatchewan, which lost 17,000 farmers and farm workers.But there was also a decline of 4,000 in Manitoba and 3,000 in Alberta.“Everyone was anticipating a decline this year, it’s the magnitude of the decline that’s important,” said Rick Lymer of the Employment and Immigration department’s Saskatchewan office.Across the Prairies, 222,000 people were employed in agriculture in May.usually the busiest month for farmers.The percentage of the work force involved in agriculture dropped to 18.75 per cent in Saskatchewan after years of holding steady at about 20 per cent.SERVING YOU IN BOTH OFFICIAL UNGUAGES Another way of giving you better service BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY Development Secretary Alumni and Development Office Reporting directly to the Development Officer and under the direction of the Director of Development and Alumni Affairs, the successful applicant will be a mature, versatile individual who enjoys the challenge of working in a vigorous, demanding office environment with responsibility for carrying out a wide range of assigned duties and projects.The candidate should have the following qualifications: — A post-secondary-education, with secretarial training or the equivalent.— Understanding of computer applications and word processing experience.— A demonstrated ability to organize work, set priorities, meet deadlines and work under pressure of time constraints.— Initiative, ability to work independently, and a flexibility to take on a wide range of assigned duties and projects, and follow through with minimum supervision.— A congenial personality and above-average interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with a diverse group of staff and volunteers.Ability to work in both official languages would be a definite asset.Salary range: $1,250 to $1,460 per month, based on qualifications and experience Please forward curriculum vitae by 8 July 1988 to: Development Officer Alumni and Development Office Bishop’s University Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada JIM 1Z7 '-Or, r:*"Ou '*»r.y°u '4U''*G‘«cts To obtain your directory, complete and mail the coupon to the address below.Please forward ( ) copies of the 1988 Directory "SERVING YOU IN BOTH OFFICIAL LANGUAGES' Dtlicial Languages Branch | Treasury Board Secretariat LEsplanade Laurier ’ 7th Floor West Tower j 300 Laurier Avenue , Ottawa.Ontario K1A ORS 1 Name Address Postal Code Canada!

Which remark was prompted by the fact that the farm on which he used to range hundreds of hens — real hens — is now the site of a 30.000 hen penitentiary.Which to an oldtimer like me was so sad a speech I've been thinking of it ever since.Some of us.you see are so old we can even remember a time when we were so backw ard and unenlightened we had the quaint idea that money isn't everything.and in those days the hens in our barnyard were very often not the kind that laid the most eggs.As often as not they were a kind that the old man or your mother thought looked awful pretty when the sun bounced off their backs in the morning.Or a kind that used to come sailing up to the back door like a bunch of friendly puppies whenever you called them.What I am trying to say is that in those primitive days the hen was a personality.She was a very important part of our whole way of life.Even the literature of those times took her to heart.Do you remember that the very first story in the old Primer was that one about "The Little Red Hen?" The wise old girl who found that kernel of wheat one day and promptly went into the grain growing business?And then there was that other hen of unspecified colour who also taught the younger generation a moral by running all around the farm one day after a cherry fell on her head and she made everyone believe that the sky was falling in.(That last story wouldn't be a joke if it w'ere in the Primer today though, because the sky is falling in on the hen now.) The hen has even played an important part in the shaping of our language.She was indeed a symbol for busy bossiness on the female w’orld.The Ladies Aid.for instance, were often referred to as 'a bunch of old hens' by their irreverent husbands, who.w'hen friend wife returned from said Ladies Aid meeting, might suffer the fate of being 'henpecked'.When the money in the baking powder can on the clock shelf ran out.it was said that dollars were 'as scarce as hen's teeth' and when a man got so old and week in the poop that he could hardly split the kindling any more, it was noted that he was puffing like a hen draw ing rails' And when yesterday's hen decided that she had put enough eggs in the nest now and it was time to hatch a few chicks, the change in her personality gave birth to other idioms.Because she was a rather fierce kind of old girl now.so fierce that the pup w hich used to send her squawking in full retreat would now find himself struck square amidships w ith a bundle of incredible courage and fury.So it was that when the woman of the house got into a bad mood, her husband would often tell her that she was as miserable as an old clucker'.By the way do you remember what your mother used to do to discourage a clucker from sitting on the nest?What she would do in the hope that it w ould destroy her brooding instinct and induce her to go back laying eggs again?She would get a pail of cold water, bravely grab the hen by the legs and plunge her two or three times head first into the pail.I don't really know whether this barbarous rite had the desired effect or not.but one thing sure the hen came out of the ordeal as the most insulted creature on the farm.Hence the term 'as mad as a wet hen'.I could go on w ith this, telling you how the hen has contributed to the honour of the land too.But some of those jokes about the hen take more time to tell than I have here, and besides that, some of the God people might not like the obscenity in them.There was for instance the complaint of the amorous hen who went to roost one night with a capon and complained next morning to the rest of the girls that all he wanted to talk about was his operation.And then there was the one of the two hens in full flight across the barnyard with a rooster in hot.hot pursuit, and one hen suggests to her sister that they might be running too fast.The bit of feather humour I remember best however wasn't a joke really, but a full page cartoon in Esquire magazine many years ago.Two big roosters are standing knee deep in a yard full of hens and baby chicks, and one reportedly says to the other."You know sometimes 1 wish I had it all to do over again!" The way things are going in the big bright and oh so progressive commercial poultry world these days.1 can t help but wonder if the big roosters in the business aren't wishing the same thing.If they aren't wishing for the days when the hens were still in the barnyard and you could still make an honest buck out of them.From the Pens of E.T.writers "DOC.COOPER & BARBARA" I am writing this to wish them well As they start this new era as well Doc.Cooper has been my doctor for many years And Barbara has been with him a long time as well.Now Doc.Cooper is a legend in his own time He is more than a doc.he is a friend, so very kind He is a doctor that I can talk to And ht listens to what I have to say, so true.He has been my doctor for almost forty years And not once has he drove me to tears He listens, he does not try to know it all And this is what makes him one of the greatest of all.In two weeks he will move upstairs (good luck) And Barbara is going to retire I wish that they would stay But I know that she is tired.Barbara you have been a faithful assistant And you have done your very best How sad it will be not to hear you say Doc.Cooper is in, he will see you today.I want to say good luck to both of you Your dedication has been very gratifying As you go your separate ways If only time stood still, and you with us to stay.How very sad it is to say that Barbara I may never see you again But Doc.Cooper that is not all I will see you again this fall.My Love and Best Wishes Amigos God Bless HELEN BROWN BURTON.Ayer's Cliff.Que.Eaton Corner Waymond Little spent an afternoon with his sister Vivian Mackay in Sawyerville.Two-year-old Sharia Little had a birthday party with some of the neighbour children.Her great-grandmother.Mrs.Pansy Buttemer of East Angus was one of the guests.Arthur and Lorraine Little and children were afternoon and supper guests of Mr.and Mrs.Gordon Cairns in Clifton.Pat and Ken Harmer, Spring Road, Lennoxville.were Sunday dinner guests of the former’s parents.Kenneth and Annie Hodge and brother Lloyd.Mark.Peter and Steven Harmer and Danny Harbinson were supper guests.Mr.and Mrs.Bill Gallant, Athens.Maine, and Richard.Sharron and Troy Rothney were supper guests of the Hodges.Mr.and Mrs.Bill Gallant were overnight guests of the Rothneys.Kenneth and Annie Hodge attended the auction for Ron Rothney in Sand Hill.The Rothneys attended the wedding of Douglas Sylvester and Kay Mills.Troy was best man at the wedding.Bob and Ethel Taylor spent the day on Sunday with Mr.and Mrs.Elwood Rolleston at their camp.Afternoon callers of the Taylors one day were Mr.and Mrs.Denis Gould and family.Keswick.Ont.and Bob's sister Lillian Aulis, Reggie Aulis and Mrs.Florence Aldrich of Huntingville.Bob and Ethel spent an afternoon with Mr.and Mrs.Robert MacDonald in Learned Plain and found them in better health.Women's Institute meeting SUTTON — The Sutton W I met on JuneSat 10:30a m in the Anglican Church Hall with 16 members attending and those who had flowers brought them along, garden flowers and wild ones from the fields These w ere made into small corsages and later in the day several of the ladies went to the Sutton Foyer and presented one to each resident and spent a few minutes with each one.Several of the ladies prepared the table for a pot-luck lunch.The W I.grace w as repeated and all enjoyed good food and a pleasant hour.Reda Lew is opened the meeting at 1 p.m.w ith the Collect follow ed by all repeating the Motto Learn from the mistakes of others: you can't live long enough to make them all yourself.Minutes from the May meeting were read by Corrie Slangen and Treasurer's report given.A cheque was presented to the W.l.in memory of Lillian Miltimore: a thank-you letter is being sent to her family for the generous gift.Kathleen Edgar gave a detailed interesting and informative report on the 74th Provincial W.L Convention held in May at Macdonald College.Theme was "Reaching Out".Lucy French.Provincial President was able to visit every County in the province during her two years in office.She was presented with a Q W.l plaque for her good work over these two years.Pearle Yates is the new President.Congratulations to her.Awards were given out for different contests.Some of the area winners were Barbara Harvey.Ruby Sherrer.Mary Harvey and Sylvia Hopps.Congratulations to all!

Wolf Cub Pack opened at the Lake Lovering Scout Reserve, Friday June 10 at 6:30 p.m The Cubs were allocated to their tents by Baloo.An official camp opening was made with Richard Hopkins doing the flag break.After a short explore break, the boys and leaders went for their traditional midnight hike — held around 9 p.m.— all safely returned an hour or so later for refreshments and bed.Eventually peace and quiet spread through camp.Saturday morning arrived much earlier for some than for others, as usual well before the official reveille of 7 a m., Baloo accompanied the Cubs to the lake for their morning ablutions, whilst Chil, Kaa, Raksha, Jackala and Grey Squirrel laboured over hot stoves in the kitchen preparing breakfast.Akela held tent inspections and much to his surprise all was neat and tidy.The camp now got down to work, Grey Squirrel demonstrating the building of various types of scout campfires, Chil working like a beaver repairing the campfire circle, Jackala and Raksha on policing and kitchen duties, Kaa and Akela instructing on the Woodsman’s Badge, whilst Baloo awaited the arrival of the White Tail Beavers that were invited to our camp.Nine Beavers and three leaders turned up and by now three cooking fires were prepared and ready for lunch.Again a 1st Lennoxville tradition was upheld with a cook-out lunch.The Beavers in one group with their leaders, while the Cubs were in two groups with theirs.After enjoying (at least I hope so) meatballs, potatoes, carrots and peas for a main course and cinnamon/raisin/brown sugar apples — both baked in foil over the embers — and washed down with grape juice, the boys were ready to welcome members of the 10th Sherbrooke Pack to a game of NERF baseball — Cub style! Nonparticipants either swam or fished in Lake Lovering.After an enjoyable game the players cooled off in the lake or even went for a canoe trip.By now tummies were rumbling and dinner was not far away — Stone soup followed by Akela’s four layer jello and ice cream.After clean-up a scavenger hunt was held — articles varying from leaves to junk food and garbage to bugs being part of the hunt.Nearing dusk we all assembled around the campfire built by Grey Squirrel.Beaver Danny Matthews and Cub Martin Pelletier put a torch to same.Campfire was now declared open and a varied programme of songs, stories, skits and cheers was lead by Grey Squirrel and Ake- Waterloo Alice Ashton Mr.and Mrs.Wallace Elston of Orangeville, Ont.spent a week of their holiday with Mrs.Peasley and other relatives at Bolton Centre and while there called on several friends here in town.Mrs.Harold Roach recently returned home from Montreal General Hospital, after a stay of ten days undergoing heart and other surgery.All wish her a good recovery.Mrs.Edna Ledoux was for two weeks a patient in B.M.P.Hospital where she had eye treatment and surgery.The last card party until the autumn was held in St.Luke’s Church Hall on June 11 with nine tables of players.This appeared to be a very busy weekend for the ones who have attended so often.Hope to see you all back in the Fall.At time of writing, Mrs.Ethel Quilliams is again a patient in Sherbrooke Hospital.Gould Mrs.Roscoe Morrison 877-2542 Rev.Jim Lawson of Sawyerville officiated at the first morning service of Worship for the summer season in Chalmers United Church with Mrs.Leslie Irving of Scot-stown as organist.Communion was served to the local congregation and to friends who had joined them from Scotstown, Bishopton, St.Lambert and White Rock, B.C.Miss Anna Mclver of St.Lambert, formerly of the community spent the weekend at the Ste.Marguerite Motel and was visiting at the homes of old friends and attended church services.Duane Beliveau has flown back to his home in Langley, B.C.after spending a week with Mr.and Mrs.Roscoe Morrison.He, accompanied by his father, Albert Beliveau of White Rock, B.C.drove across country to this town with the latter remaining for an indefinite stay.Mr.and Mrs.Morrison accompanied by Mr.Beliveau were supper guests of Mr.and Mrs.Jay Morrison in Lennoxville and also spent the weekend at the North Country Lodge in Pittsburg, New Hampshire.Others visiting at the Morrison home were Mr.and Mrs.Donald Morrison, Scotstown, and Mr.and Mrs.Ronald Rowland, East Angus.Recent visitors at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Douglas Beaton on North Hill were Mr.and Mrs.Erwin Watson, Canterbury, Miss Thelma Gratham, Lennoxville, Mrs.Donalda MacAskill, Scotstown, Mr.and Mrs.TouneSt.Laurent, Brantford, Ont., and Peter Morrison, Renfrewshire, Scotland.Mrs.Jim Leonard with baby daughter Sarah of Lennoxville was visiting at the home of her parents, Mr.and Mrs.Gilbert Wintle, Lesley and Kevin.Crosswords ACROSS 1 Sharp-tasting 5 Tell everything 9 Mex.laborer 13 Out of the wind 14 Look angrily 15 Fury 16 1943 Bogart film 18 - of Wight 19 Small bird 20 Enroll 21 Slugger Mel 22 Snapshot 24 Musical instruments 28 Golf club 29 Lard 32 Roan e.g.33 Yemenite 34 Actress Deborah 35 1984 Peggy Ashcroft film 38 Tenant worry 39 Autry of films 40 Impoverished 41 Tot up 42 M.Coty 43 Play parts 44 Robbery 46 Gr.letter 47 Group of notes 49 Vegetables 54 A Hayworth 55 1949 de Havilland film 57 Pub orders 58 Contributor 59 Final 60 Burrower 61 Location 62 Native metals DOWN 1 Diplomacy 2 Jai - 3 Take five 4 Red Sox e.g.5 Explosion 6 Bowling alley 7 Curve 8 TV’s Arthur 9 Publish 13 16 19 24 25 26 27 32 35 38 41 42 44 45 47 46 J 54 57 60 ©1988 Tribune Media Services, Inc.All Rights Reserved 10 1955 James Dean film 11 Make eyes 12 —do-well 14 Satiates 17 Singer Pat’s family 20 Endless time 22 Chatter 23 Vagrant 24 “Butterfield 8” author 25 Lassoed 26 1932 Garbo film 27 Adjutant: abbr.28 Actress Dunne 30 Take for — (deceive) 31 Salvers 06I29I8B Yesterday's Puzzle Solved: nnnnn noonna ncinnnnnn ?ans a n ?nniinnnnnnn ?QDOii nnannH B nnnBH IfllSlSlNlSl 06129188 43 Sword 50 A Guthrie 45 Eradicate 51 Equipment 33 Ten percenter 46 Western resort 52 Being: Lat.34 Joint lake 53 Concordes 36 Ripens 47 Stuff 55 Grid feats: 37 Nightmares 48 Hawaiian city abbr.42 Free (of) 49 Coin 56 — polio!

At 1st Lennoxville camps we observe the behaviour and habits of the boys and we try (not an easy job as we have such a good bunch) to recognize those boys who did that little bit extra, — from the Beavers, Kevin Loach, Andrew Hopkins and Daniel (Boone) Matthews, — and from the Cubs, Jason Perrier, Michael Holland, Travis Maclver and Richard Hopkins.Also on the “Cub News” Front, one of our Cubs did not attend camp, instead he was a participant at the Special Olympics Summer Games at Trois-Rivières and the Pack is proud to recognize Cub Christopher Towers’ achievements — 1 Gold and 2 Bronze medals, well done, Chris!

Hardly time for thunderous applause, but Richmond Regional's track athletes certainly distinguished themselves at the provincial track and field championships which ended Monday in Trois Rivières.Three Richmond athletes capture medals at the meet.Meanwhile, Alexander Galt and Bishop's College School were shut out of the medal department.Stanstead College didn’t field any representatives.Overall, the Estrie region, which the Eastern Townships School Board athletes participated in.finished seventh out of 14 regions in the province/ Estrie collected a total of 137 points, light-years behind Quebec, which won the meet with 274 points.JENNIFER SMITH Jennifer Smith of Danville lead the Richmond conquest capturing gold in the midget 800m class.Smith clocked in at 2:21:31.She smoked her competition, Brigitte Nehma from Montreal, by more than seven seconds.Was the soft-spoken teenager surprised with the win?“Kind of, yes.I really didn't know what to expect,” she said.Smith usually runs the longer races of 1500 and 3000m but she said she trained hard for 800m.“I wanted to do well in that one,” Smith added.Smith said her aim was “just to go out and do my best.” Smith admitted to being nervous before the race, but said that vanished as soon as the starter’s gun sounded.The other two Richmond placers were Carolyn Raymond in the midget long jump, and Suzie Banfill in bantam hurdles.The two picked up bronze medals in their respective events.Richmond could have had another medalist had Martin Dubois qualified in the 80m.Dubois missed the final by one one-hundredth of a second.Compared to final results, Dubois's qualifing time would have been good enough to finish fourth.Unfortunately for Dubois he didn't have the luck of the draw which placed him in a strong heat.Richmond coach Jeff Dunn was vacationing and couldn’t be reached to comment on the success of his team But Galt's track coach Brian Heath was at the meet.“I was very impressed with those Richmond kids.Even that Dubois was quick," added Heath.While it was a bright day for Richmond, it was less so for the Estrie region in general.Last year the team finished in second spot, and they won it in 1981, a far cry from the middle-of-the-pack performance turned in last weekend POOR SHOWING Heath attributes the poor showing to a dearth of track programs in many high schools in the region."The programs just aren't there.The really good ones (athletes) like José Côté (from Granby who finished second in the 3000m and third in the 1500m) are on track clubs," said Heath.He also says that having the track meet in late June also makes it difficult to field the best team as North Shore students are home already, and others have made other commitments.But he wms quick to add this sort of thing must affect the results of all regions.As for personal performances.Heath spoke of Angela Locke, a bantam javelin thrower, who finished in fourth spot.Locke actually tied for third after three throws but lost the medal because her second best toss was beaten.Heath also singled out Paul Su-dlow who knocked a full nine seconds off his best time in the 1500m.Meanwhile BCS coach Bob Perrier said : “I was not totally surprised, but I was a little disappointed that the region didn't do better.” As for his team, Perrier was also a little disappointed.“That is the first year in the last three years or so that we haven’t been in the medals,” he said.They weren’t far off though.Christy Mauro, a bantam javelin thrower, came in fourth, BCS’s best showing.Sport shorts PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gene Ubriaco, saying his goal is to develop “a high-tech team in a high tech city,” was named coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday.He succeeded Pierre Creamer, who was fired after the Penguins missed the playoffs for the sixth straight season, despite a 36-35-9 record — their best in nine years.Ubriaco, of Sault Ste.Marie, Ont., is a veteran minor league coach who was beginning to fear he would never coach in the NHL.He said a team blessed with talent such as most valuable player Ma rio Lemieux and all-star defence-man Paul Coffey belongs in the playoffs.“Obviously, we’ve got to win,” said Ubriaco.VAC AT DAYS T I RE FROM WRANGLER ST P7IB/7WI1B SALE PLY i DESCRIPTION PRICE SIZE P235/75R15 P215/85016 ,120 95 113 95 :V'55 '8501L 10 ' ‘.'t V SAU PRCI Pl45/80ft13 EVERYDAY LOW PRICE P155/80R13 P155/80R13 P165/80R13 P165/80R13 P175/70R13 P175/75R13 P175/80R13 P175/75R14 P185/70R13 EVERYDAY iQW PRICE 6480 71 70 7 7 70 79 80 83 70 70 91 8(J 97 80 102 90 P185/70R14 SI/I.0165/eon i3 P185/80R13 P186'75M’4 P195/75R14 !
